Come to the West.
Let the foreigners who crowd our Atlantic sen ports come to the West—the chosen dwelling place of hope, where labor command's its reward. Here they will have a •fair field to fight the battle of life. If thev oaunot come, let them be sent. This is a grand opportunity for philanthropic and patriotic effort.
Governor Slade has distributed his Yankee girls over the Union and wherever one of them has taken up her abode, it has been better for society than the planting of a rosebush for a garden. It was done by •organized effort. Let the plan of distribulion which has been so happily applied to the higher, world of intellect and refine-j meut, be adopted for the lower and coarser, but'yet most necessary, department of mannal labor.
Not one of those Yankee flowers was born to blush unseen. Nature never in-j tended them to waste their sweetness in the barrens of New England. Neither should the stalwart frames and stout hearts of the
Icrman and Irish emigrants be suffered to ••dwindle and pine in the noisome atmosphere of our large cities.
In many of the richest counties of this State, agricultural laborers are very much wanted at this moment. We write what! we know. Rails remain unsplit, land nil-, .cleared, for which the farmers have the money in hand to pay. The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few.
The above extract is one of the leaders in the Daily State Sentinel of Starch 5th. Its perusal will doubtless suggest many and various thoughts in tlie minds of those who read it. Was it prompted by that noble! and disinterested philanthropy which gov-1 erned Gov. Slade in his efforts to secure good teachers for the West? Did it spring from no other desire than that of doing good to the foreigner and developing the resources of our fertile West Or is there naolivo underlying all others deeper, stronger, mightier than those which appear upon the surface
That a desire to swell the ranks of the Old Liners is a prominent element in the missionary zeal manifested in the extract, will strike the mind of almost every reflecting man. Take from the enterprise its political feature and it is a good one. That feature remaining, its results will be worse tha/i useless, nay positively injurious to all concerned. .•
It is an undeniable fact that the foreigners almost en masse vote with the Old Line democratic parly, who seek not to instruct them in the principles of onr Government, who manage to socwre their otes and care not afterwards what woollies of them or whither they may drift. If ready at the polls on election day, 'tis all they ask.— This treatment of foreigners by that party rests like a plague spot on their skjrts, yet is it so deeply branded upon them that time nor circumstance can efface it.
At first glance this proposition would wear the appearance of an adroit cflort to convert the Old Line party into a benevo* lent missionary society for the amelioration
of the condition of indigent foreigners, and the project might commend itself to the consciences of men, were it not that the dark and startling truths of history come up in such thick dusters from the depths of the past.
Rather than lose their political influence they would confijm them in the errors and dogmas that have been ground into their souls by the tyrany and oppression of the Old World they would exclude from them the light which streams from the glorious sun of civil and religious Liberty. Such missionary societies may not expect the blessing of Heaven.
iJSTLct it be remembered, that the Review, professing democratic principles, is endeavoring to excite the western against the eastern people—the eastern against western people.
Let it bo remembered, that the Review, is endeavoring to excite one religious denomination against another, merely for party purposes and let it be remembered, that such a course is not dictated either by the spirit of philanthropy, patriotism, or Christianity.
Patriotism seeks not to excite sectional jealousies, nor does it seek to awaken and embitter animosities between different denominations of christians. It is the demagogue alone, who delights in such work.
The above paragraph from the Journal of 1848, is quoted by the last Review, to prove that we have changed our course and are inconsistent and then indulges in sundry remarks in perfect keeping with the tone, spirit, and decency of that paper.— He intimates that we were then condemning the principles we now advocate.
Were our principles as pliable as those of the Review, we might simply reply, we are progressive, this is a progressive age and ours a progressive party or if we were as regardless of truth, as wreckless, or possessed of as treaehorous a memory as the present incumbent of the Review, wo might do as he did in relation to his signing the Temperance League, assert most positively that we had never written the extract. It may do for him to sign the League and then deny it but we acknowledge the paternity of the above extract. We wrote it, we reiterate, 'twas true then, 'tis true now. Not a word of it do we take back nor are our present principles inconsistent with those contained in the paragraph. We were a better friend to the foreigner then than the Review, we area better friend still. We have always opposed the speedy naturalization of foreigners wo oppose it still. We have ever opposed the spread of Roman Catholicism in this country we oppose it still. Wo have never attempted to excite one church in hostile array against another church, nor shall we ever make such effort. 13nt we meet the Roman Catholic on the arena of high debate and point him to the tyrany, the paralyzing, palsying influence of the Church of Rome on the masses we point him to the haughty domineering of the priest we point him to the blessings of civil and leligious liberty,1 the superiority of Protestant over Roman Catholic countries then call upon him to abjure the one and embrace the other.— And when the foreigner lands upon our shore, whether it be "the true hearted Irish, the noble son of the Emeral Isle," the sturdy, industrious German from the banks of the Rhine, the unflinching Britain, the gay and vivacious Frenchman, or the moody Spaniard we meet him not with party plianccs and (he song of democracy to secure his vote for party power, but we meet him with a welcome to this "land of the free and home of the brave." meet him and say to him, if this is to be vour future home, study our institutions become familiar with our laws, imbibe the spirit of our freedom, remain with us at least Five years and then exercise that exalted privilege of freemen, the right to vote.
As to excitement between the north and the south all the power possessed by the Review, has been exerted to produce and inflame the hostile feelings. hen all angry elements existing between the north and south had been lulled by the Compromise measures of 1850, an Old Line democrat re-awakened the storm, and the Review lent its feeble breath to fan the contending elements. We battled for freedom and free territories as our Revolutionary Fathers had done the Review fought for slavery and for sectional [interests. We battled upon the broad platform of national freedom the Review fought upon the sectional platform of slavery. We battled that Kansas, then free, might continue to have the national flag of freedom undimncd and untarnished, still to wave in triumph over her the Review fought that the dark stripe of slavery might be inserted, not that slavery was national, but because it was sectional.
We were the friends of freedom and free territory in 1848 so we remain unchanged. The Review was the friend of slavery then, remains so still. wished the south to manage her own institutions, according to her own will. The Review would manage for her.- -We trust the Review is answered.
To his beautiful epithets, and other elegant remarks, wo have no reply and as to the "Review's Jackass dignity," we most respectfully decline reposing upon the couch which the editor himself has so long and so gracefully occupid. We know of no one who sports that peculiar dignity with such naturcd grace and ease. ,,, ,.

The Spring Job Business. It seems to be customary with the con ductors of papers, at this season of the year to throw out very liberal bids, and offer many inducements to secure the Job Work incident to Spring. Each one offers to do the work in the best style, on the lowest terms and at the shortest notice.— Some do the premium printing, some have the largest circulation, some will charge very low and then take State Stock money at less than it is worth, and thus attempt to induce the belief thac tliey are ones with whom to get good bargains. Under these circumstances it becomes us to let our position be known, and upon what terms Job Work can be done at the Journal office.
In the first place we adopt the motto that "honesty is the best policy" in all things. We desire not nor do we expect by low bids to monopolise or secure the whole of the business, and shall ever rejoice in the prosperity of our neighbors. Our Firm we presume patronise the merchants and business men generally, more than any other printing establishment in our town. Our object in printing is to do a legitimate, living business. We expect to make moderate charges, do work in a satisfactory manner, and receive such money as is in circulation at its real value. If we take money at 90 cents worth only 75 or 80, we must either put additional price on the work or lose money, neither of which would be demanded or approved of by a generous community.
We cannot afford to do work at living prices and then take money at ten or twenty per cent, more than it is worth. As well might wo offer to take Corn at 65 cents when it was worth only 45, orbecf at 15 cts. when others were giving 10. We use no such artifice to secure work, but pledge ourselves to do work as neatly as can be done elsewhere in town, in as short a time, and shall always charge an honest, liberal, living price. We will take money and other articles at their market value.
We hope to receive a liberal share of patronage. TSF Since the above was in type, the several Publishers of this jdacc have met together and established a bill of rates, which will be seen under the editorial head.

For the Montgomery Journal.
MR. EDITOR:—I have concluded to pencil a few lines for the Journal, from quite a cold corner of old Montgomery county. While I am scribbling the Mercury is 7 degrees below zero. It was 6 degrees yesterday morning below zero, and State Stock money still below that. Waveland and vicinity has been thrown into great excitement for the last few days. One of her farseeing and business merchants, started to Indianapolis to have the Interest law repealed at least this was public rumor, for several days before he left town. I understand he got as far as Lafayette. I fancy I see him make his way to one of the big businesss houses of the city he enters, and perhaps before he is seated he glances round

weeks since, and there is a number about

neighborhood I think we can get a good roll of it on him. I will see some person lucl going past there, and I will hand him the
cced. This is but a faint description and outline of our merchant's business tact.
After he had got runners started in every direction with rolls of the stuff, he ventured to let the cat out of the wallet and inform the citizens of Waveland, what was up. The news was all over town in a few minutes, and such a running over town with State Stock, has never been sceen in this section of the country. Nearly every man that could find a bill on his person was running round trying to get shut of it in some way. The merchants took it in at a heavy discount until every place of deposit was jamcd, and still it comes. W cs. Talburt said ho had deposited a flour barrel full in the Smoke House. Some said they would be afraid that some body would steal it. He knew better, for every man that coul^ find a bill about them was trying to get rid of it, He knew that no man in Waveland or vicinity, had the nerve that could'stand and see a barrel of the stuff. You had as well try to get a man to stand quietly before the locomotive or enginej when it was in full speed. Would it not be a good idea to let the Bankers know how things are going down here? Why, they could get enough of the stuff to fill their vaults jam full. If the railroad was done, that the stuff could be shipped off from our town, it certainly would be great relief to our citizens. I feel hopeful that the muddy roads will be closed up in a few days so that the Bankers can send down some teams and get the stuff away from here. Things are at a dead stand here now the merchants and people stand facing each other across the counter they hand or throw down the stuff to the merchant he looks rather cross-eyed at it and shoves it back to the person who threw it down, and says
I
can't take that. The other
asks him if it is not good? The merchant puts on rather a begging smile and says it was good a few days since. So they are standing and shoving the stuff from one side
Important Legislation.
The following doings of the lower House, yesterday, are of importance, and are not to be found in the State Journal's synopsis:
By unanimous consent, the 20 cent tax provided.for ih the House school bill, was reduced to 15 cents, and the bill passed, ayes 54, noes 33.
The Senate having returned the Free Bank bill to the House with certain engrossed amendments,
Mr. Hudson said, that during the adjournment at dinner, the committee on Banks had carefully examined all those amendments, and unanimously concluded that they were good and ought to be concuired in, for they would make the bill better.
After some remarks on the question whether the amendments should be concurred in altogether or separately,
The House refused to consider them separately. One of the amendments fix the Auditor's pay. for bank duties, at $1,500 per year, and against this it was urged that the pay was entirely inadequate, and must force hiui to resign his office. To this it was answered that the circulations for the next two years would be so little increased that the pay was sufficient.
Mr. Test moved to lay the bill and ainendmcnts on the table, not so laid—ayes 20, noes 63.
The amendments of the Senate were con-

About the time the bill was presented to the Governor for his signature, she happened to be out of the State 011 a visit. Joe. in the meantime, had his veto message w.iittcn out but was prevented from sending it to the Senate by the arrival of his good lady, who protested so strong against it, that he was finally induced to burn it up and give his signature to the bill. This is no joke got up at Joe's expense, but is given as an actual fact. Who now will say that woman has no influence? Long life to Joe's life!"

THE MEW YORK TIMES. Daily, !Scmi-AVeekly iind Weekly Editions 'lhe New York Daily Times has just entered upon the fourth year of its publication, under circumstances in the highest degree encouraging to its conductors. In tho extent and character of its circulation,—in reputation as a prompt and reliable Newspaper, and in the degree of public favor which it has acquired by its discussions of topics of public importance it has greatly transcended tho most sanguine expectations of its projectors. It has now a regular circulation of over 36,000 copies, which is steadily and constantly increasing —and its advertising patronage is highly gratifying and satisfactory.
The Proprietors of the Times feel that in appealing to the public for a continuance and an increase of the favor they have so abundantly extended to it hitherto, they can refer to the past as a guarantee for the future. They aim first of all to make tho Times a newspaper inferior to norc in New York City or in any part of the Unitec States. They will spare no expense nor any labor necessary to procure for its columns the earliest, fullest, and most reliable information, upon all subjects that may enlist public interest and attention. The Correspondence of the Times, both Foreign and Domestic, is especially copious and attractive,—enlisting in its service some of the ablest and most accomplished writers connected with the press in any part of tho world. In its Congressional ond Legiativc reports,—its accounts of public meetings,—its record of Personal Literary, and General Intelligence, it will not be surpass cd by any journal of the day.
In its Political and Social discussions, the Times will adhere steadily and firmly to the course it has hitherto pursued. It ncithoo claims to speak the sentiments, nor will it consent to follow the dictates of any part}', nor is it devoted to the interests of any man or of any faction. It is, and will remain, independent of parties, and regardless of mere party objects,—pursuing such a course, in all rcspccts and on all subjects as shall seem to its Editor best calculated to promote the public welfare, and to advance the great principles of Republican Freedom and of Christian Morality, on which all social and all civil good must always depend. It will urge and advocate Education, Industry, Temperance, Economy, equal and exact Justice to all men, submission to Law, devotion to Civil Order, the Love of Liberty and of the Union, adherence to the Constitution in its letter and in its spirit, the development and strengthening of a truly American sentiment, respect for the religious, social, and personal rights of all classes, and that general culture and elevation of the public spirit on which, far more than 011 specific measures, tho advancement of Society depends.— While it claims the right to discuss every subject of public interest and importance, and to present its own views upon them all it will exercise this right with due respect for others whose opinions may be different, and with that just regard for public sentiment essential to public usefulness. It will seek in all things to substitute Reason for Dogmatism,—appeals to judgment instead of passion,—and a reliance upon the sound patriotism, morality and common sense of the People, instead of the prejudices, tho selfishness, or the vanity of individuals.— It will advocate all just and salutary Reforms,—will denounce abuses wherever they may exist —urge cconomy, efficiency, and an intelligent regard for the publio good in every department of tho public service —resist all unjust aggression upon tho rights, the institution, and the sentiments of every action and in all things aim to promote harmony of sentiments and unity of effort among all the friends of national Freedom, of sound Morality and of universal Kduoation. While there will be no deviation 110111 the conduct of the paper hitherto in those respects, every effort will be made to give it additional strength and interest in every department.
The Editoral management of the Times will conlineto bo hereafter, as it has been heretofore, under the exclusive supervision and control of HENRY J. RAYMOND, a.--, sisted in its various departments by accomplished and experienced writers.
