LEW. WALLACE.

In another column we publish a letter from Mr. Wallace, in which it will be seen that ho declines taking the raco in the approaching Congressional election. We do not altogether ngrcc with Mr. W. as regards his view of the English Bill, and arc not prepared to view it in the light that he presents it. We do not think that the north has lost anything by this measure, or that the south has been in anywise the gainer. In fact we regard the bill as no settlement of the question whatever. It leaves the territory in the same position that it occupied a year ago. We do not think the south has done any more to fas- .. ten slavery upon the territory than northern fanatics havo done to abolitionize it.—

As a national democrat wc are desirous of harmony in the party. The question of eternal Kansas is for the present out of Congress, and wc trust that the Adminisvi tration will now turn its attention to the acquisition of Cuba and Mcxico. Wc do not see anything now to prevent a thorough union of tho great party. Wc regret that

Mr. Wallace has "no intention of being a candidate in any event." Wc regard him as one of the ablest men in the district.— His opposition to Lecompton would be a passport that would insure him the united support of the party.

THE ENGLISH BILL.

The passage of this bill is unquestionably a triumph. The Lecomptonites arc baffled and beaten at every point, viz: 1. Kanzas is not admitted. 2. Congress has not approved tho act of the Lecompton oonvontion in withholding tho constitution from a vote of tho people. 3. The Lecompton Constitution is renianded to the people of Kauzas, and its fate is made subject to a vote by them. 4. Congress has declared that Kanzas shall not be admitted uudcr tho Lecompton constitution, until a majority of the people of Kansas, at an election, shall vote for admission under that constitution.

JUDGE BLAKE.

We notice that this gentleman has been spoken of as a candidate for nomination in the Democratic congressional convention. The Judge is a very clever fellow, and were it not for the unfortunate position he 'took upon the Lecompton fraud, would make a most acceptable candidate. IIowover, lie may havejebanged his opinions in regard to the submitting of constitutions to direct vote of the people, and as an honest difference of opinion should be tolerated, wo trust the Judge will explain his ^position as regards this matter. We do toot care whether he is in favor of negro slavery or opposed to- it. That has nothing to do with a man's democracy. We simply wish to know if he is in favor in all leases of submitting constitutions to a dircct vote of the people, and particularly whether the Lecompton Constitution should !vhavc been submitted^

For the Review.

your paper last week

yon suggested me as a proper person tio make the ensuing race for Congress on the Democratic Bide. The article has been received throughout the county as a regular announcement of my candidacy before ,tbe Convention, and has subjected me fr. interrogatories not always pleasant or timely. -fLet me say to the public that I ain not seeking the nomination, and have no intention of being a candidate in any event.

To end further questions in connection with, the subject, let me also say that I am now opposed to "Lecompton," as I have been from the beginning and that, while I thought "Lecompton" seriously objectionable, as a departure from Democratic principles, I am of opinion that English's Compromise, at present the law of the land, is a swindle without apology, an outrage upon the people of Kanzas, an insult to the whole North, and a deliberate violation of

equality as between States and sections, jidferror of his

xc .t .i it ft tTiif. hint. More than that, Sir, as a iSorthorn man of free state sentiment, and possessed of ordinary feeling and pride, I resent that act as amounting to the open and formal degredation by Congress of myself and every other Northern citizen. It provides in effect that, if Kansas, with a present, population of 40,000, will accept the Lecompton (slave) Constitution, she shall have millions of acres of land and bo at once, by proclamation, admitted a State of the Union but, if she rejects "Lecompton," she shall not have any land, and shall not make another Constitution nor be admitted as a State, until she has 93,000 inhabitants. In other words, it establishes the principle, hitherto unheard, that 40,000 inhabitants arc enough to make a slave State whereas to make a free State, 93,000 arc not only held necessary but absolutely required and to guard against the possibility of mistake or imposition as to the 93,000, a census must be taken and certified up to Congress prior to the admission. I deny that in point of political rights one Southern man is superior to two Northern men. I deny his superiority in that respect to any one of them. Yet the English bill establishes that, in Congressional eyes, two Northern men, like Mr. English, lack a fraction of being equal politically to one Mr. Stephens, of Georgia. The three-fifths rule, for purposes of representation, is perfectly satisfactory as agaiust Mr. Toombs' slaves but a one-half rule, for purposes of admission into the Union, as against the freemen oPthe North, is an inequality and wrong too infamous to be subscribed, too unjust to be endured.

I am opposed to any kind of interference by Congress if she must interfere, however, let it not be in the questionable shape of a bribe on one hand and a penalty on the other.

The above arc not all my objections to the English bill nevertheless, I hope thej"will prove sufficient for "inquiring friends." ltespcctfull}-,

LEWIS WALLACE.

Crawfordsvillc, May G, 1858.

flQyTho Montgomery Journal of last week advocates with much zeal the nomination of Dr. T. W. Fry, as the Black Republican candidate for Congress. The truth is, tho Dr. is heartily ashamed of the present incumbent., aud for fear of a repetition of the disgraceful debauchery that marked the course of the present Hon. gent, now at Washington, he has in all the grand magnificence of his lofty and aspiring soul magnanimously offered himself as a substitute. We have no doubt but that the Dr. will receive the vote of his own county in convention, but that he will receive the nomination is ridiculous. Dan Mace will be the lucky man. He has got the triggers all set.

THE PROGRESS. OF COIFTICTIPIF.

We are under the impression thai some part of the spirit of repentance for sin and folly, which has been so widely felt in most all parts of the country, has reached at last the office of the Washington Union. In a late issue of thatf paper, we find the following humble acknowledgement of the serious offenses against truth, Democracy and national integrity. The Union says:

Politicians, and indeed all small men, seem to regard a change of ideas upon any given subject as presumptive proof of weakness and vascilliation, whereas, in truth, it is evidence of strength, courage, wisdom and honesty. A man that has the intrepidity to abandon an error, thereby confessing his fault, is afar safer conscllor, judge, minister, or legislator, than he who stubbornly adheres to the wrong, in order, simply to maintain his consistency. True consistency, does not indicate adherence precedent, but an adherence to truth. It is not a formula, but a fact. No man is more inconsistent than he who continues in the wrong when fully conscious of

ways

for he then does a

thing not becausc it is right, but because lie acted in a lilze manner on a former occasion. In the first instance, he might have been honest in. the last, better advised, he becomes dishonest from no better motive than that of sustaining an error, becausc he himself helped to originate it.

ANECDOTE OF HENRY CLAY.—The

great

statesman and orator was traveling somewhere "out west," and put up for the night at a country tavern. "Mine host," in lookin" over the register, discovered the name of"Henry Clay. There was but one "Clay." Could it be possible that he had this distinguished man under his roof. He was astounded, delighted. Next morning as soon as the "great man" appeared, the admirable Boniface bustled forward, and made his rude bow.

Mr. Clay, I believe sir?" said he. That, is my name," said the gentleman in his affiablc tone.

Mr. Clay, the Congressman?" Yes, sir." Weil sir, I've heard of yon, and I thought I'd just ask if you wouldn't give me and my old woman a little speech before you go?" ...

8SPA Chicago paper, alluding to the two rival Democratic Conventions that have recently been held in Illinois, narrates the following:

A little weazel-faced, pipe-voiced Administration man came up to Jake Newsome, a comparative giant in weight and hight, and inquired of Jake—"Sir, which wing do you belong to "Wing!" replied Jake in a voice ol thunder. "Yes, sir, which wing of the untcrrified Democracy?" asked the little fellow. "Wing, h—11 we belong to no wing.— The whole bird is.ours."

A CHILD IN .SEARCH OF ITS FATHER—A SCENE AT THE SING SING PRISON.

The following touching record of filial affection we copy from the Sing Sing (New York) Chronicle. None can read it without emotion. ..

One evening last week, just as the bell of the Sing Sing Prism was ringiug "all right," ana most of the officers were-about taking their departure from the institution, a little girl, about seven years of age, entered the Warden's office. On being questioned as to her name and errand, she said that her name was Agnes W and that she had "come all the way from New York to see her father, whom her mother had told her was in prison at Sing Sing." She said that her father was a cooper by trade, and it became apparent at once that the W employed in the "shook shop" was the looked for father. He was soon brought from his cell to the office, and the scene which rook place between the convict father and his child will not be soon forgotton by those who witnessed it.

The story of little Agnes to her father was, "that her mother was very poor, lived out at service, and could not come to see him, so she thought she would come herself that she left New York that morning, without one cent of money—walked through the city till she came to the railroad, that some boys told her passed through Sing Sing: that she crept in one of the cars .and hid herself away and when found by tho conductor, he allowed her to ride all the way up for nothing, .and that some of the boys in the village told her the way to the prison.

After spending some time with her father, she was kindly taken care of for the night, by one of our citizens, and the next a lady of our village accompanied her to New York and had her placed in an asylum, devoted as a home to the children of the destitute.

Very little doubt is there that before long a Sewing Machine will be as common an article in every house as a Clock indeed, since GROVER & BAKER invented their admirable implement, it is rapidly coming into general use. Aud no wonder, for it is the best of its kind so simple that a child may manage one, and so effective, that every kind of sewing can be performed by it with great rapidity, and without toil to the operator.

A SOUTHERN OPINIOTT of MK. DOUG? 4 The New Orleans Courier, an organ of Southern Democracy, publishes the last speech of SenatorDonglas, on the Lecomp-' ton question, accompanying it with some comments, from which we. take the follow-

rag extract: sis"Less than two years ago, the cohorts of the great Democracy moved obedient to the call of Mr. Douglas. He was the acknowledged champion, the undisputed and undisputable leader of the greatest, the most united, and the most invincible party of free citizens the world ever saw. For fifteen years he had adhered to the doctrines of that party, through good and ill-report for ten he had been distinguished in its ranks for two he had been at its head.—He was the victorious Achillcs in the great battle of the Senate, in 1854, on the Kanzas bill, and every Democrat from Maine to Florida, from California to Virginia, East, West, North and South, recognized him as his faithful exponent, as the, man he delighted to honor.

At the con7cntidn of 1856, his beautiful Briscsc was ravished from him. Another than him was named by the great Democracy as their candidate for the immense and glorious office of the President of these United States. A crowd of Liliputians pressed' him to the ground and pierced his skin with their little arrows. His wrath has been grand, like the wrath of Achilles. It has spread the Phrygian plain of Washington with the bones of a multitude of little men, untimely slain. That wonderful small potatoc, Biglcr, perished at a single blow Green barely survived by the solid vote behind him our little lawyer, Benjamin, steered very clear of his blows our adroit and sensible Slidcll cither did^ or did not briefly deliver the Administration programme late at night, or early in the morning, of one of these disgraceful niglit sessions which sometimes deface the dignity of the Senate, while Douglas was sick in bed yet when the great fallen one came again. W take his plaee, he demolished without an effort all these his adversaries, and triumphing as far as personal strength was available, kicked them carelessly aside, as a man would kick a clod out of his path.

8@?*Few persons posessed Benton's power of sarcasm. These who have felt it will always remember it. A correspondent of the Salem Register narrates an incident which aptly illustrates it: "Some years ago, while speaking in Scott county, Mo., Mr. Dames, the representative of that county, sat directly in front of him, for the purpose of putting questions to him, and if need be, to insult him. Benton was reading the names of those who voted for the "Jackson resolution," and coming to the name of Mr. Darncs he stopped, and in his own peculiar way, said "I smell a nullifier/ The man Darncs was a promising child, but this is not the child that was born. When lie was three years old his mother took him to a corn husking. The boy Darnes was stolen this brat was substituted." He then came to O'Banyon, who was hiding himself behind a tree. "This O'Banyon was a contemptible pup. I made him what he is I gayc him office. At he had the impudence to rise and present me several questions to answer I told him to stand and hold them lie did three hours and twenty minutes by my watch for which service I owe him one dollar. Here is a one dollar note, signed by John an Dyke, a democratic sausage maker take it, sir, [to Mr. Darnes] and pay him sir!" Darncs tells the story, and says he was never so badly used up in his life.

INTO

GOLD BY SPIRITUAL AGENCY.

The Spiritual Telegraph gives the following account of the Doctor's alchemy: A common manifestation, or one that is frequently made by Dr. Hare, is changing a copper cent in a few minutes' time, into apiece of gold. The Doctor has quite a number of pieces of gold, all of which have been made by the spirits from copper cents. He showed me a solution of Russia plantjnnm, made from the ore by^the spirits. Also apiece of pure silver, weighing 3,980 grains, which had been converted into a fluid state by the spirits, and then chafed back to the original solid mass, Eu placed at one time a number of coins of different kinds—gold, silver aud copper—rinto a glas1* jar, closely corked, and then put the jar containing the coins into an empty wooden box, which was then also closed. In three minutes—-the Doctor standing by with watch in hand—it was changed into a

coin. After he had examined it, and placcd it into ajar, and then in the box, in five minutes it was converted into the same kind and number of coins he had put in.-"-On another occasion he placed a number of coins of different kinds, in like manner in a jar, and had them converted into a solid mass in a few minutes. The spirits then changed this solid mass of metal into the asmc number and kinds of coin he had. put in.

cor

respondent of the Boston Transcript, writing from Sebastopol, March 1, says: 1 The bombshells strewn about the city during the siege are still doing the work of death. No less than eight deaths, I think, have been caused by explosions of these missiles sincc my arrival, hardly a year sincc. Only a few days ago, two seamen belonging to the English steamer "Beyrout," came on shore near our shipyard, and for a few minutes were conversing with Mr. Ctowen. They then started for a walk to the Redan, quite near our residence, and on reaching the breastwork, one of them picked up an exploded deto

shell, intending to keep it as a rclic but finding it rather heavy threw it down, when it instantly exploded and killed him, almost severing the head from the body, and completely cutting off his right leg. The remains wero brought to our yard, whence they were buried. His companion escaped with a slight scratch upon the lip. On the following day two Russians were killed in a similar manner, while picking out the stopper of a shell. 'iVie lock by which the concussion ignited the powder of the shell is a curious affair, being a small equilateral cross, with a capsule at each point, and four little hammers held by a human hair. A sudden jar breaks the hair, causing the hammer to strike the cap, which explodes. After the shells are charged, the locks are enclosed in a copper tube and inserted within the hole of the shell, upon which a plug is placed. The shells, thus prepared, are placcd in box of the size of an ordinary chronometer box, which for safety, must be handled "this side up" with care.
