LECTURE BT BAT All I) TAYLOR.

On the evening of Tuesday, of last Tveek, Jan. 31st., Mr. Taylor delivered his popular lecture on Life in the Isorth," at McCIclland's Hall in this| place. His audience was large proba-1 Lly the largest ever assembled in Crawfordsville. for the jjurpose of listening to a public iocturcr:

lie opened his lecture by stating the inducement to visit the more northern

life and beauty and where death, seem

when one warm afternoon as he was

entering pper Egypt, he sav.'anAmer-jest

were moored at the bank, side by side, and thc occupants were engrossed in conversation. The discourse ran not npon Thebes and Egyptian wouders, but was of the land of snow. The contrast thus vividly placed before hisj mind, he asked himself are such con-j trasts possible within the limits of thej world. Tho -distance between- these! two extremes seemed to be as great as I between the planets Neptune and Mer-1 fcurv. There anil then he determined

that one extreme always suggests thc

othcr. although the natural longing of thc human heart is toward the South, rather than the .North.

A peculiarity of the Scandinavian Peninsula, which is without a parallel in any other part of the world, is that along the western coast, a belt of apparently moderate temperature, is carried into the arctic circle, while on the eastern side the climate is that of Greenland or- Siberi a. The waters of the tropics are carried by the Gulf stream diagonally across the Atlantic Ocean, until they reach the farthest corner of Lapland, so that the fishermen build their huts of the precious woods of the West Indies, and feed their fires with the trunks of the palm trees, carried to their shore by the ever flowing waves. Among the Isles of Lofoden, inside thc arctic circle, the principal fisheries are carried on during the months of February and March, while on the American side of the world, in the same latitude, the sea is like a rock from October to Juno. This same oecan current goes entirely round the North Cape, and finally terminates, all at once, at the head of a deep bay which divides the Norwegian from the Russian territory^ Here it meets a current from the poles, and the boundary betwecn thc two is so strongly marked that on the Norwegian side tho ports are open all

His first view of Stockholm was in a snow storm. A thaw, however, coming on, he. was obliged to advance a liunclred and fifty miles further north before bo found enough of snow to make good sleighing.: From that point the Arctic winter commenced, the thermometer continuing to fall.—not fast enough, 5

however, for his impatience. Hereach7/injed the parallel of 02° in the middle of 9^00 December, and then he almost doubted tho existence of the Arctic temperature. 15 00* The thermometor fell to zero, then to 8o 10° below, but he had before experienc10.00 ed cold as severe in his own country. 12.001 rpjien feH to 20° below, which was at l.s'no! least an approach to the Arctic tempcr2^001 ature and then it continued total!, un14.00 til finally, on Christmas dajr, he was en-

Winter, the white-bearded magician of the 2^orth, despises the common objects seen in Lapland during the brief summer, transmuting them into marble—covering the entire face of the earth with a spotless coat of white.— The forest, all covered with snow, which freezes as it falls—and they do not show a single speck of green or of q£her eol-

or—each

tree stands there, white as iv

ory, hard as marble, and brittle as o-lass. The world seems there to be cut from the purest alabaster. The snow catches on the trees and brambles and at last brings them together, forming wonderful arches, and shaping the plants and limbs after the most majestic shapes.

J3ut the terror and sublimity of the northern winter is equal to its beauty. When the thermometer stands 35° below zero, and the. sky is clear, and the

The suffering, he remarked, is not greater from the cold there, than here, for the man who ie freezing to death does not stop nicely to estimate the degrees of cold he had himself felt the cold as keenly at home as at any time in Lapland.

The impossibility of tho existence of moisture in such a climate is the great annoyance. The breath exhaled becomes ice the eye-brows and the haiiare rendered white as snow and the eye-lashes become at last so loaded, that they can be prevented from freezin only by continual winking.

Thev speak no

and are as distant as

though an ocean divided them. The Fins and the Laps show evidences of

common origin their language is somewhalalike they also intermarry, which is notthecasewith the Swedes and Laps, or the Swedes and Fins, yet (hey differ in their physical characteristics so much that they may properly be considered distinct. Hence there are three families of men living inside the Arctic circle. The first impression of men with-

plena id animal health, and those qualities which are connected with health. The}r cvinccat once frankness directness of character cheerfulness, contentment. and freedom from perverted habits. Without being handsome, they arc vigorous the}- have clear, blue eyes which §eem to reflect the color of the sky their complexion is fresh and rosy. Honest themselves, they believe every one else to be honest they are kind and friendly, but so little demonstrative, with so much reserve and shyness, that at first they would be regarded as cold. Without thc ideas of propriety that pertain to higher civilized society, they are.strictly moral. Without being easily roused, they have those qualities which make them terrible in their anger. They have not thc passion in love of the South, but their love is enduring quiet but deep. The women are strong and healthy they patronize no patent medicines, and don't know that they have nervous systems they are good without too great a consciousness of it, and happy without t-iying too hard to be so. The Fins are a different people. Their eyes are dark their appearance approximates more to theOriental the language partakes of the Asiatic type, and resembles much that of the Magyar. These people are less frank and open-hearted, more passionate and therefore prone to

is' quoutly

in the

absence of better odu-

cation, more superstitious. Drunkenness, which used to be the common failing of this people,, has now almost disappeared, owing to the fact that temperance has been made part of their religion. The Fin is however quite as honest and reliable in his dealing as his neighbor before described.

The speaker then remarked about the absence of the legendary lore and magical incantations, which it has been long thc custom to attribute to these people, stating that Christianity has wiped them out of existence, to the eternal profit of men themselves, but to the great lessening of interest for tho tourist. He then described tho manner of driving the reindeer, and spoke of the animal itself. It is of about the size of a large Newfoundland dog a stupid animal, that learns only to jump when he starts, and to stop and turn round and stare the driver in the face when it chooscs. The fabulous speed of these animals he disputed, giving their speed not more than fifteen miles per hour, although many travel one hundred and twenty miles in twenty-four hours.

The sudden transition from snow to vegetation was next remarked upon.— In the language of the old Scandinavian poet:— "Oh, 'tis the touch of fairy Hand

That makes thc spring in northern land! Tt warms not there by slow degrees, With chanpreful pulse and uncertain breeze. But sudden on the wondering sight, Bursts forth the balm of life and light. And instant, verdure springs around, And flowery magic clothes the ground."

There is indeed no interval between frost and flowers. The snow melts continually, and as a bare spot appears the grass grows up, so quickly that its growth is almost seen.

It would be impossible to describe that wonderful light, in which all land and sea is bathed. Avhen the midnight sun is up. But that perpetual daylight depressed him more than the long season of winter. The day and evening are distinctly divided, but it is by a division which seems to have no existence. The rest taken seems to be the slumber in the daytime. At first all is beauty, but in a few days how grateful it would be if one could stop enjoying it. There is no compulsive rest, such as darkness brings with it. There is none of the sweet isolation of the senses which is the true refreshment in sleep one is never sleeping but always tired, a chronic fatigue conies on and the condition of man is almost insupportable. The Northern summer has its peculiar features. There, notwithstanding tho abundance of train oil, no scholars burn the midnight lamps,.no lover sings to his mistress, "Meet me by moonlight alone," no burglar carries on his trade, for tho sun is everywhere, as evil shuns the light.

One comes from the polar regions with a strong conviction that it was never designed to be thc abode of man, or at least of that portion of the human race in whose hands God has placed the hopes and the destinies of the world. The lecturcr even wondered Avliy any of the human race settled there. Certainly he was assured that civilization will receive no impetus from above the parallel of 00°. Travel in these regions had shown him, however, that those who stay at home cannot sec all that is good in humanity, for God has created no race of men, as he has no man. totally bad. He neglects none of his children, and upon the icy shores of the Polar seas, as npon the Isles of Eden in thc Indian Ocean, rests alike the benediction of His beauty, His mercy and His infinite love.

The Men we IVeed,

The Howard Tribune, in speaking of the kind of men we need to carry the election, talks plainly, directly and truthfully, as we see in the following:

We want men of availibility and fitness, and those only who are icilling to work. We do not want any man, no matter how perfect he may be. who will fold his arms and await the result. On the contrary, let those be selected who have the energy to pronounce what the result shall be and then go to work and bend all their circumstances so as to assure it.

With a ticket headed with the name of a man whose ability and integrity are known in every inhabited house in the State whose right to the championship as speaker no one would dispute— the rest of the ticket composed of men in their prime, ready & able to go into every nook and corner of the State, never tiring, never trusting to others, but ever working, with such a ticket we can succeed. Shall we have it? Then don't press thc name of your friend if there is a better man for the place. A National victory might depend upon thc result in Indiana in October.

A triumph in Indiana in Oct. might carry with it several States in November. Every step should now be taken with care. The present is big with future events. The Republicans have,to use the homely language of an opponent who fell during the late DemocraticConvention, 'the world, thc flesh and the devil'to fight. Let us choose our standard bearers from those who will lead to certain victory.

How has the free territory been divided? From the territory thus purchased. and paid for b}* all the States, five new Slave States have been admitted, having the following extent of territory and representation in Congress:

B@jt»The Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen (writes aNew York correspondent of thc American Reveille) a native ofNew Jersey, and now Chancellor of the University ofNew York, who stood a good chance fifteen years ago of being President of thc United States, took himself a wife two years ago, at the ripe age of seventy-two (himself and not the wife,) and last week he had born to him a son heir. He will probably name the boy aftcr himself, Theodore, meaning God given—it will certainly be appropriate. Such instance of "better late than never" are not very common, but there have been some very remarkable cases: Sir. Stephen Fox, the father of Jomcs Fox, was married at the age of eighty, and was afterwards blessed with three sons. Mi\ Frelinghuysen is now married for the second time. He had no children by his first wife.

"DAVTON, O., Jan. 20.—The citizens of Dayton had made partial arrangements for giving a dinner to-morrow to the distinguish guests from Kentuekcy and Tennesoe, but the arrangements of the Cincinnati committee were such as to allow a stoppage here of only 15 or 20 minutes. As our citizens could not in I the short space of time allotted, give an entertainment worthy of the city, they resolved to do nothing beyond the fire-• ing of 33 guns as a mark of respect.

"Thejr had expected a warm welcome from the people of Ohio, but were unprepared for such greeting.— We will take home this welcome to the people of Kentucky, and tell them all AVC have to do to keep the Government together is to see each other oftener and know" each other better."

Gov. Magoffin introduced Col. Newcome of the Tennesee Legislature, who responded for Tennesee. He said while Congress cannot assemble, Ohio, Tennesee and Kentucky can meet and greet each other as brothern. He eulogized the Union and the Constitution. His speech was received with great applause.

After adjournment the convention held a meeting, when numerous extemporoc speeches were made in the best of feeling.

Minister McLanc was a passenger, and came to this city in the United States steamer Moses Taylor, which arrived to day from New York and Havana. Mr. McLanc will remain here a week, after which he will return to Vera Cruz in the Brooklyn. Mr. McLanc has important dispatches for Government, and awaits telegraphic instructions. The affairs in Vera Cruz were quiet.

A detatehmcnt of marines has been stationed atTampico and Minititlan for the protection of American citizens, in conscqucncc of Miramou's threatened expedition to the coast.

The sloop of war Saratoga was at Vera Cruz, and the Savannah was daily cxpected.

A party of men went to his dwelling and knocked at the door. There was no answer, and they broke in. They found no one in the house, and were about to leave it. when they head a frightful voice, proceeding from the ground, saying "1 am hungry!"' The officer in command went back to Gen. Pueblita and told him about the voice. The General appointed a commission to examine the house. This commission went the to curates dwelling. & after a careful examination, the}" found a moveable stone in the floor, and under this was a stairway leading down to a vault, which was entirely dark, and had no connection with the air. save by thc staircase, and a small hole that served as a ventilator. In this vault they found some books, a few articles of furniture, and a woman who had been shut up there for eighteen years. She was taken to Gen. Pueblita's quarters. When brought into light, where she saw a number of persons, she fainted. After she had returned toher senses, a thousand questions were asked her to which she replied only that she had been buried in the vault for eighteen years, without going out for a moment that she had been married, and had children by her husband, but she knew nothing of their fate that, while imprisoned in the vault, she had children by the curate, but she knew nothing of what had become of these children and after saying this much she became obstinateh' silent.— While this was passing, a sergeant of the Pueblita Brigade, then present, discovered that this woman was his mother and she recognized him as her son and embraced him. The son then ran for his father, who came and recognized his wife. The husband, fifteen rears ago. was imprisoned"throe .years under charge of wife, this woman.

evidenced by their applause, is

for the nomination of a man whose name will not be a challenge to thc South, ancl one who can be relied on for his steady attachment to Republican principles, and devotion to the Constitution of the Union. "Iowa may be relied upon as one of thw firm Republican States. The leading politicians are generally young men of a high order of talent, devoted to principles rather than men energetic and enthusiastic, they will arouse the whole State in thc coming canvass to an extent which will result in a Republican majority of at least five thousand votes."

i£p*The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquire telegraphs: Senator Bright has not yet returned from Indiana. It is said his friends hero complain bitterly of accounts he has given of politics in that State. Mr. Slidell, I learn, is greatly grieved at his mistakes. Senator Bright was telegraphed from Indianapolis to come and make matters right. His visit appears to have had that effect. The president is much worried at the result. He waits the return of the Senator before applying the knife to certain Indiana officials.

Douglas men have not spoken Disunion. Neither have tho Republicans.— The treasonable talk has come wholly from the men who supported BOCOCK and HAMILTON for Speaker. These men have declared that in the event of the election of a Republican President they would dissolve thc Union. Thcv havegone farther. They have declared publicly and privately their desire for a Southern Confederacy, and their belief that they were working tothat end when they voted for a Democratic Speaker of the House. The other day Mr. Ptigh, of Alabama, who professes himselfan independent Southern Rights Secessionist Democrat, voted for Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, on the distinctly avowed ground that Mr. Hamilton's election would tend to the purpose he, Mr. Pugh, and his constituents, had in view—Disunion—and that he did not doubt that when the time came for them of Alabama to strike their blow, Texas would be with them. Mr. Hamilton, thus endorsed as a Disunionist. was supported by the entire Democratic vote of the House. The people of tho North, who love the Union, who see in it, when it is administered in the lovo and spirit of freedom, an instrument for the accomplishment of greater political good than was ever possessed by any people the people to whom the Union is rendered sacred by the memories of the past, as well as the promises of the future: the people of thc North, we say, will hold these endorsers of Disunion responsible. The Southern Disunionists are not responsible to us. But their Northern backers are. And so surely as the love of the Union in the North is wide spread and deep, so surely avi 11 the rebuke which is given the Democrats at the polls bo emphatic.— Cin. Gaz.

They did not dare to vote against a Disunionist. We commend these simple facts to the Democrats yet remaining in the North. If they Avish to be recognized by the inexorable ruling power as citizens of the Republic, let them too turn Disunionists. We dare say if Gen. Dix Avill attend a feAV so-called Union meetings, and declare himself lustily for the doctrine of destroying tho Union in case his party should be defeated at thc next election, he too ma3ryet be nominated and confirmed to some office, if there is one that a Virginia Disunionist does not Avant.
