Tin? tiovernment desire Its purchase on which to erect fortification.1 fur the protection of tho Harbor. It is regarded hjr tho. Administration so imKrtant to tho protection of our Commcrco and' tho great city of Kan Francisco, that they have offered the enormous um of 700,00') dollars, tor tho jerfeclion of its title" in tho Government. It U remarkable that a oint of ground no important and Indispcnsablo to the safety of our Coin merco on tho Facific should rcmuin thus long in private hand, and at thi particular juncture, with nhinkrpt trtotury, purchaKcd At a price 010 hundred times yreatcr than its .vi value. Tho courso of Mr. Jluthanan in this matter h singularly in contrast with that pursued at Secretary of State under Mr. Polk, when he succumbed to tho dictatra of hie party and fl ittered away the magnificent Island of Vancouver on the aouthorn part of which is aituato a aimilar point in command of tho entrance tu Oregon from the Pacific In the last case the demand of South em dictators and party lender hud to be granted and the party -'humbled in tho dust" as he cowardly backed down from their impolitic position of 'St. 40, or tight' The most valuable Inland on our Pacific Coast wan thus abandoned under dictates of party and the policy of late extensioniau. In the California enso, party leaders and Intractablo Iecomptonitcs may find wen of satisfaction for tho per formanco of dirty and unpiilitahlo work, ns the administration aro offering at least 603,000 dollars moro than tho real value of this 4tI.anche." Senator Ilrodcrkk of California, declares on tho floor of tho Senate, that 'the wholo Ilancho proponed to bo purchased," is not worth more than 7,000 dollars, and our townsmen Benjamin Chaflo and Thomas V. Kimble, both personally familiar with it, say, that would bo exhorbitant for it. It is but a barren rock and only fit fur thewpurloe proponed. The allocation rery lately made in private by ono of tho highest judicial functionaries of tho (iorcr'nmcnt 'that ours UcfßciaUy, tho most corrupt gov. crnment in the world," I every day demonstrated by the ambitious, Imbecile and corrupt administration. . , tkj In tho Houso of Ilcprescntatlrcs on Monday last, Mr. Morris of Pa., asked learo to ofiern resolution setting forth that the existing tariff was found inadequate to supply the Government with revenue, and is a source of embarrasment to the country, and instructing the Committoo of Ways and Means, to Inquire Into tho expediency of reporting a bill revising tho tariff, substituting home for foreign valuation, and specific for i l valorem duties, and so augmenting duties on articles which como in competition with American manufacturers and products, as will af ford an increased protection to American Industry and labor. Tho Houso refused to suspend the rule. 90 against 101. UtahTho last accounts from the territory Inform us that Governor Camming had entered peaceably Into the City of Salt Lako" by special Invitation of Urighaiii Young. That all was there quiet and in all probability thero would bo no uno . a mm w m a m lor tho U. 0. Array, lno mormons had laid down their arms and many of them with their women and children had gono to tho Soulhorn part of the territory. This statement requires con Urination, but it would bo a scvoro ro büke to the already defunct administra tion if truo. Iixixots XoattAL University.- A fino Institution for the education of teachers, and for the training of youth in tho higher departments of learning, is about to go Into operation in Bloom ington, III. Its resources amount to $300,000, of which 91 10,000 are to be expended in grounds, buildings, and furniture, the remainder to bo invested 0 a permanent fund, tho income of which to bo applied to meet tho current expenses of tho Institution. One fea ture of it is worthy of note. A "model farm" is connected with It. In a Stato whoso agrjculturr.l resources aro as ample as those of Illinois, such a featuro will prove of incnlculablo advantage. toTToonibs, tho Dcmocratio leader of tho Senate, declared tho other day that ho had supported tho Galphin claim in tho House, and he still supported it, and tho denouncers of "it were miscrablo slanders and cowards." Stir All account from Kansas concur In tho opinion that the English substitute, and consequently tho Lecotnpton Constitution, will be rejected by the jcop! of Kansas by an overwhelming majority.

lSu On Thursday evening last, a storm of great violence passed over certain portions of Illinois. v It. covered a largo extent of territory, and everywhere its track it marked with great damngo to property'. It seoms to havo

grossed the Mississippi, near Oquawkn, and to have exteiuicd eastward, at as far as McLean county. In tlio West thero was much hail accompanying tho wind, and everywhere a irreat fall of rain. At Lexington, on tho lino of tho St. Louis, Alton and Chicago Itond, tho storm was terrific. Nearly every honso in tho villago was unroofed or blown down. ' fnThe steamer Star of tho "West, with California date to 20th ult., brings somo interesting news items as well ns $1,000,000 in specie. Forest City, ISTcveda county, has been destroyed by fire Kith gold diggings havo been discovered in Carson Valtoj. Tho Legislature of California hare passed n bill prohibiting tho futuro im1 migration of frco negroes to California, and compelling those already thereto register their names and tako out li cense.

Clay denies not on ly that Henry Clay was tho father of the Missouri Compromise, but also that ho waitho father of tho Tariff com pro miso of 1S:)2. Tho Pittsburg Gazette suggests with not loss truth than p' that, if, in addition to theso corrections of current belief, he would convincotho world that Henry Clay was not his futh cr, ho would render an essential service to tho reputation of that illustrious stutesman. Mr Tho schooner Mobilo, which ar rived at New York on Tuesday, from Mobilo was fired into within sight of shore, when clT tho Florida coast, by tho British war steamer Styx. An ofiker from tho steamer boarded tho schooner, and without deigning to take notico of any one In particular, demandod to see the vessel's papers, after examining which, ho permitted her to go on her way. Such Insults os this aro becom ing qutto too common,, under tho pre tenso of suppressing tho slave trudo. "NaT Tho election on tho adoption or rejection of tho Leavenworth (K. T.)

Thero is almost n much excitement on this topic as there used to bo on Lccompton." Vir The great men of South Caroli na aro passing away rapidly. Pres ten S. Ilrooks, and A. P.

Within n few years many others of tho conspicuous men of tho littlo fire-eating Stato havo perished. äT Col. M. W. Delahay, of Leaven worth, Kansas, who bus been staying at Chicago, writes to tho Tribune, of that city, that it is his matured opinion, that tho English proposition will bo rejected by tho peoplo of Jvansas, by 10,000 ma jority. . Tnr PirrEnr.NCK.

Isitdifllcult to determino who wo should select to carry aloft on tho breeze, wafting on every wind tho Star Spangled Dann er of American Liberty, and to lead us out of tho ton test moro than conquerors? I think not. Certainl our young champion and patriot Hon. Wilt Cumback, who has served us so nobly and faithfully as our llepresontativo for two years in Congress, is just tho timber wo want to lead us onward. Ho has boon tried and not found wanting. In my judgement wo wont tho young hero for our leader, who first broko tho ranks of tho so called Dcmocratio party. With him as our Candidate, certainly wo can havo nothing to fear. I feel quito confident that this sentiment will bo responded to by a great majority of tho Republicans of this dis trict. What Bay you In other quarters. A. REPUBLICAN.

of tho customs of our friends in tho country, and tho "ie." of tho caption of thoso articlAhns been moro noticed than tho "Colle-To." In this article Zf nroposo iiVicimr somo 0' why tho larmers and mocrwen county should patronize Brookviilo Collego. Tho day is past when n labored argument is necessary to convlnco peo ple of tho valuo of an education. Let ns see, howovcr, why it will be nn ad vantage to parents to send tho children hero to bo educated. Wo havo n groat many farmers in this county, and in adjoining ones, who havo but little property, savo children, nnd they havo but littlo prospect of leaving money or lands for their children. Of courso parents wish to do something for their children, and tho question is, what is tho best for them ? I answer a good education lot us see. A girl of good education will bo ablo to command a good situation as teacher at any time, at a salary of from $.30 to $C0 per month. Now these wages aro good, and tho labor is not very severe. How much better this, than to leave theso girls with a poor education, to get a livelihood by hiring out" at $1,50 per week. More than this, a girl with a good education Is moro likely to marry well than an Ignorant one. A young lady with a good education must tako a higher social jksition than an unlettered ono, other things being equal. Hut let ns look at tho bo3'S a young man can, for a small sum, obtain an excellent education, and he can then, nt nearly any time, command from 8400, to $1200 n year for his services. know somo young men of only ordina ry capacity and education who mako $(00and $H00 per year, and ono or two who mako $1200 in tho South, simply by teaching. Such aro tho facts in tho S t A A I f A I . case J low innen netter this, man 10 havo the sumo young men toiling in fair weather and foul on a farm for from 812 to $20 per month. Theso certainly aro Inducements toward acquiring an edu cation. No parent can leavo children n richer legacy than n good education. Money may bo left them, but it is soon squandered, nnd tho children uro ruin ed. Not so with a good education. Hut tho main cxcuhq is, that it costs too much. Let tho young men como hero und board themselves, and in this wav tho desired end may bo obtained cheap ly. Two young men may room togeth er nt nn expenso ot 75 cents per week, each, nnd .livo well. Somo livo even more cheaply, and aro highly respected by all. The day has gono when n young man's worth Is estimated by his inonri. ft fit ins and conduit now deter mino tho ft und ing of n young man in society. In a word, thero is no excuso left our citizens and country friend furnotsond ing their children to College. No bot ter Instiution can bo found than the Collcgo here, and every facility for nc quiring a good education is afforded. It certainly will be a shamo if parents do not educate their children. There aro hosts of boys and girls in this coun ty, and tho adjoining counties, who can and ought to gain a far better education than they are gaining. Communitj' calls for this, the Stato calls for it, tho nation calls 4is?1fCZz church demands it, nnd parents who rofuso this boon to their children will be accountable in the day of judgment, foi their children cannot do the good they otherwiso would. Send on your childien then, nnd keep them here, and thus honor them nnd yourselves. MAGISTKIt. For tht HrookvllU Amrrlcnn. Hl.oo.Mi.xo Crovk, Ind, May 17, '58. Mtt. Editor: On Saturday tho 15th, inst., tho Democracy of this Township held a meeting in order to appoint delegates to the County Convention and to express a preferenco for candidates at tho next election. It is an old ndage that "straws show which way tho wind blows," and as tho sentiments of tho township meetings may indicato tho principles wo may expect to havo enunciated at tho County Convention. 1 havo thought a short sketch of their proceedings might not provo ttnintcrciiting to your readers. Aller tho regular organization of the meeting, Ac., a committoo of throo was appointed to draft resolutions expres sivo of tho views of tho party. Jas. Dukatc, Mlchaol Dollolt nnd Kobt.

Tho Committed retired and in a short timo returned with resolutions endor sing tho administration of James JIuchanan and his Kansas policy ! und lauding tho courso pursued by llright nnd Fitch, and affirming that their portion was in accordanco with tho crood of the Democratic party. The slightest symptom of disgust Imaginablo was exhibited by a few at being compelled to swallow this nauseous doso, ltit down

Alas, poor human na Uro I "Tho resolutions adopted at this meeting havo ono merit, however, that of being plaul nnd explicit, and of ad mitting of but ono construction.

Editor: 'A portion' of tho De mocracy of Laurel Township, seem to bo alive, and aro waking up to a sense of their duty. 'There was a meeting held on tho fourth Inst., nt tho school houso onJMcasant Kidge, Laurel Township, for tho purposo of endorsing tho Administration, and expressing a pref erence for tlio candidates to fill tho various offices at the ensuing election. Ii. G. Olipbant was President, and F. V. Fan rot - Secretary. Tho meeting was opened by a long and enthusiastic speech by J. H. Faurot in explanation of tho political principles of tho differ cut candidates. Ho said thero could bo no mistako as to A. II. Lino's principles, lor Mryjno hyhj him Ijijho streets of Rr)okTlhvrf--oTr-rrricait to oppose menstircH coming from men of such learning and ability as Mr. liu chananjnnd his Cabinet." Wm. Faurot said ho hoped the meet ing would recommend J. W. Morrow of Laurel for Jtcpreseutative. Ho tho't Dr. GilTord had n.t been very successfully initiated Into tho Dcmocratio Party, and hoped tho party would allow him to remain whero ho was. Mr. F. went to tho meeting armed with a pint of Walker's best," which tho President stole; that together with about ten Inches ho had taken before meeting, enabled him to set n good example by keeping good order himself. Mr. l' having visited "Oao I'yo" twice before, und iinmcsjMv after meeting, could very well spare the President a pint. A difilctilty aro so by Mr. S comparing his neighbor's head to a churn full of Puttcrniilk; but tho President iuterfervd with Ihh j'ut, which immediately settled the dillleulty. Wo understand that J. C. llurton has told that there wero ono hundred per sons who voted for him, nt the nhovo meeting. This is a mistake, thero wero but eight voter who attended tho meeting; ami threo of them being ifopublicans, did not voto nt all.

Komm: In your issue of May 7th, I find two pieces written, ono under tho head of each of tho above captions Tho first describing tho eharneter of certain fast young men of Jirookvillo tho other boasting of tho literary nd vantages of Urookvillc, and casting sun dry reflections on farmers for not send ing their children to said college, and upbraiding them for tho limited advnn tages for education they possess in their variousiTetgTTtorhoods. Now I propose to cxamino these matters, and try to show somo reasons for tho facts as they exist, und why farmers pursuo tho courso (hey do; and I think that which our friend Magister would heap ns a reproach will provo nothing less than a compliment to tho economy and man agomcnt of tho farmer. liefere I pro ceed further it may not bo amiss for nie to offer an apology, ns I havo novcr been to llrookvillo Collcgo, and have only visitod tho placo as other farmer's boys generally do, to go to market or to mill, I am a graduato of ono of thoso self same old school-houses that "Magister' speaks of; nnd now if I should huppen to mako a JJundcr.

houso, I also was raised on a farm, and my father has a fast class barn and other out-buildings of the samo stamp, with tho exception of a hog-pen, and ho contemplates building that as soon as practicable, but horribloto tell, wo havo one of thodosamo old log school-houses that "31 agister!' tells about. Do you ask me

y it is so? why my fathers stock is ared lorK than his children, so i'du'maA.advantil'cs aro conf I wrfl toll 3'ou. ThelLeinslaturo of our State, and party demagogues have not Assumed the supervision oi his stock, but of his children they have, he is fit, Kay thc3, to raiso hogs but not children, and they havo essayed to tako caro of them , and now look at tho resUlis, uii, UU13011 aj-. no is voo sviucy, not no, tho means is taken fourfold that would cducato his children, to food pam pered demasroirucs that aro worso than useless. The man who can a (ford his lanrobarn with irrccn window shutters, and fino pig pens with fine stock to fill them, pays tax enough, pcrhupe. to school half tho Poor children in his neighborhood, if it wero rightly ap plied. But look at it as it is, that over which ho has control is managod with economy and skill, whilo that over which ho has not control is nuglectod. Now for the sako of justice, friend "Magister," do not bring such rniliug accusation against tho larmcr , any moro until ho is again pnt Vn the samo nosition that he former! v occupied. It is tho law makers and law exocutors that aro to blame, and not the farmers in mass. Before, tho passago of tho present law tho farmers of our vicinity used to meet in tho spring ot mo yoar at tho old school-houso to uncertain how much money they would want to suptort a free school for mno months, men levy a tax to raiso it. and wo had better schools and better scholar than wc havo in this our day of progression. Iiut wo can now boast of our glorious froo school system. So much for that. Not far from tho timo that tho legis laturo took chariro ot mo common schools. a pn-ject nroso for building Collcgo in Jirookvillo, over which tho farmers and other stockholders wero to havo control, (25 entitling each ono to a vote. Tho project carried. larmers wero lu rod to subscribe, it progrossoi! until tho first board of trustees wero elected; ono old farmer of my ucquain Inncrt wns ehu tixl tnmteo. and every thing moving smoothly along, when fo tho matter suddenly toolc u transler and a body foreign to tho institution becumo its guardian, the trustees elect wero unceremoniously dispensed with at least some of them and others ap )smted in their place. So much for the second attempt. (If I havo misstated tacts I shall bo glad to l0 corrected. ) I havo 110 fault to find with the management of the institution, I bcliovo it is doing well enough, but only stato theso things to show that there seems to bo an opinion that farmers are not tit to control anything but tine slock and hog pens. Hut why don't wo send our boys to llrookvillo College as tho system of education there n reeommended so highly? Why send them to other plates? asks our'frleinl. is it beoaino their morals are so bad that wo want them as fur away ns possible? Just the opposite of that may servo as ono very good reason.

J ARM Ell a Sox. Prentice vs. English. Tho following extracts from tho Lou isvillo Journal, dono up in Prentice's po culiar style, show his opinion of tho English swindle SkT An nnti-Lccompton editor says timt tho lull ot tho apostate author of tho conferenco bill will cetainly break his neck. Wo havo no doubt ol it. Iii furo another month has past thousands 01 his lavcrito constituents will bo paint ing tho moral of nmbitiou.1 treachery to orohcn iiuM. W Mr, Knglish, of Indiana, felt hur by somo pungent remarks of Senator Urodcrick concerning his trickery, and called on Mr. 1J., and asked him to re tract. Air. Jfrodurick rosponso was "ft't out of the icaitvou vuppv." Tho puppy did it. It seems to bo perfectly under stood in Indiana nnd at Wushington, that Mr. English was not tho inventor of tho bill that bears his name lhul bill is not too ruscall but it is too Ingo neous in its rascality to huve originated with him. ilo has littlo enough con science to havo got tho thing up, but he has too littlo bruin. IfaT Wo havo often hoard ot pooplo that President Buchanan's English cun not bo too roundly abused, for our Pres ident really has got tho meanest nnd basest Knglish that Kin? or Trcsidcnt ever had. 4iT Mr. English's bill, though ncither fish nor flesh, is unquestionably foul. fraT Tho Buchanan Administration seems likely to bocoino notorious for its use of bad Lnglish. Iy Tho Commercial intimates that tho devil has something to do with tho circulation of n certain popular weekly nowsnnner published in New York.
