To Office Xeekets. Wc have been permitted to take the / llowin? very sensible extract from a jX>r addressed, by an intelligent gr-nth-£n residing at St. Joseph, Missouri, to n fi end, now holding office under thegovia this city. WOur observation, and the experience itothers, bear unequivocal testimony to the entire truth of his appropriate remarks We ther«fof®d*«nestly commend them to i rtrious perusal of every young man who ff wasting his precious time and means in aiekiog office. We would say, go to the . r ii rin’soil’of the West, and enter upon ber°vast fields of enterprise Yon may at first have t 0 encounter some little priStion and labor, bur, with a good stock of Industry and perseverance, you cannot tn realize a fame and a fortune that will be enduring. Read the advice of tjur Missouri Iriend: 8 'The time that you pass in office at Washington is lost to yon. You are the Save of hours; the machine to execute B-rtain portions of the unvarying routine |f government. No new ideas come to Sou Your genius is cramped; your energies are enchained, and you make no progression either in self elevation or general usefulnessi ‘After an interval of years you will have jccumulated only regrets for misappliance «f your powers of thought and action, or |ave lost all prido of independence, and fallen into an insane indifference. ■ ‘I would prefer that my sons should go into the wilderness with no instrument |ut the axe; no resourc .s but a vigorous |rm, than that they should accept the best salaried offices in Washington.” | Hooper, author of‘Simon Rttggs,’ and editor of the Montgomery Mail, fires of the following good ones: ■ Bribing Gosguessmes.—‘A Joke.'— We believe that it was $1,590 that Con-1 gressman Edwards. ?! New York, offerd i Mr. Paine, of north Carolina, for his vote. ’ Edwards says it was all ‘a joke.’ This; reminds us of the story of old Parasot, 1 Mississippi infidel Frenchman, Who once blasphemously declared to a friend that our Savior stole the jackass which he 'rode into Jerusalem. But a year or two afterwards ‘he old fellow took the cholera, and had two stout negroes rubbing stirr JUlating liniamci ts upon his tortured nbtlouien, when, mindful of bis blasphemy, ’he exclaimed between the twisti of the ♦disease: ‘Oh! mon Dieu! Men I tell ole iMarlow —vat Siieezas Christ—vas steal tat jackess —vat was ride in SherusalemI vas joke.’ Edwards is just such another joke. From Kansas. ■ The St. Louis Republican vas very lute ■slates from Kansas. A letter published ‘in that journal, dated Lecumtoh, May 12, ■ says—The .census returns come in slowly. ■ Some ten counties have been heard from; J the" foot up a total of 5’6 48 voters. In •many instances tlm censua-taLMrs have 'made no returns of the total population |in their distrits. It is supposed that beI tween nine and ten thousand voters have ■ been registeied in the Territory. This E will probably give pro-slavery meuama- ■ jorily of say 2,000 votes —probably more; »though they will owe this to the neglect of I the republicans whohave in many instances irefusedtoregisterorgiven fictitious name, i We presume that they intend to vote | down the State constitution when it is submitted to the people, and therefore . feel indifferent, to the political complexion Los the Constitutional Convention to be liolden in June next. Severe but Just.—ln Connecticut | they have a provision of law which proBhibits any man voting who connot read; •the courts having decided that if a man can read German or French, he is a legal I'Voter; the newly elected Republican Governor in his message urges additional leg- | islation so as to confine the right of suf •frageto those who can‘read English.’ -Whereupon the New Haven Register, | pointing to the Governor’s message in ’ its columns, suggests that a clause be added requiring Governor’s messages to be written grammatically! Hard Times in Germany.—Letters from Stnttgard, the capital of Wurtemilberg, complain of the upward tendency in [the price of piovisions, and also that the rates of rents have recently increased [from fifteen to twent-five percent.
