Such authority it, of cient for one who is a political Thug by profesaion. Men’s character*—the courteaiea tad aaenitiea of life—the obligations of truth, justice, decency and l*opriety—all are nothing with tote who hare delitwrately thrown off to restraints which society imposes, and set tbenwelres up as common detainers and blackguards. Many of the gentlemen whom to Jmtroml sin gles out for its rile attack, would deem U an insult to hare their names mentioned on the same day with that of the editor of the Jmmml. The “ fellow, McCollum,” is editor and publisher of the Isifayftte American, and in any community where be and the editor of the Journal are as well known as they are in this, no defence in Ids behalf against the puny thrusts of to latter, Is necessary. If the Journal chooses to belittle sod disgrace to liositions which it eupfc to occupy, by retailing such miserable garbage through ita columns, as it lias shown a disposition to do hi its article of yesterday, all we hare to say is, “ to more’s the pity.” As a member of to press, we regret it; as political partisans, we care nothing about it. IL/'The following, from to New Albany Tribune, is pretty significant, considering the strong proclivities of tot paper in favor of the “Republicans.” W hen such papers as the Tribune become * tattled at the rash, headlong and revolutionary course of the Ethiopians, it is time for men whose love of country has not all been sacrificed to sec tional hate and bitterness, to pause and see whither they are drifting under the leadership of to N. Y. Tribune, its correspondents and allies. Becoming DxsraaaTX.—The New York Tribune and some of its regular W aahingtim correspondents are M-coming desperate on to question of slavery. They are throwing off all disguises and declaring open war against the institution of slavery wherever it exists, with all our deep-seated prejudices against the institution, we can join in no such wild crusade, nor shall we, until we deliberately make up our mind to favor a dievolution of the Union. James S. Pike, one of the most talented and vigorous writers for the columns of to Tribune, having become intensely excited over the late dedsion of the Dred Scott case, is now urging to free States to prompt and efficient measures, looking to to total extinction of slavery everywhere. He says: “We must strike directly at to usurping power. That power is Slavery. W e propose to drive directly at its vitals, wherever it easts. * * Having no alternative but to yield to Slavery, or to conquer Slavery, we strike tor ita uncooditional extinction in this Government, whether by expulsion or otherwise. Upon this ground we believe the battle should be fought by all who do not intend to be victimised ami degraded by the gross and insulting rule of Slave Power.” After pursuing this line of denunciation of Slavery and the Slave Power for near a column, he closes his article thus: “Let the Free States, then, rouse to their proper work, which the aggressions of Slavery have necessitated, and go resolutely forward to the extinguishment of this pestilent institution—an institution that offends the world with the grown ess of its disgusting characteristics, and whose upholders dare to trample the rights and the principles of Freedom under their feet, and in doing so to aim at tyrannic sway over millions of freemen and the uncontrolled dominion of a continent. After this manner let the people of the Free States answer the inquiry of the usurpers: ‘What are you going to do about it?’” J. S. P. What say our Republican friends to this? Are they prepared to embark in a crusade against the South, having for its object the total extinction of Slavery there?

houses that bare grpwn so rapidly on this principle of extending themselves quite beyond their capital, and becaase toy have been aided by to discounts of to banks in prosperous times, never know where they stand. They may go on for yean increasing their capital in figures gloriously on to balance sheet, when, perhaps, to next tight time will turn them over as naturally as a vessel caught in sooae jam of the ice, is heaved out of the water and left high and dry to be broken to pieces.

ing twice the business.

If from business we tun to private life, a brown stone fronted four-story house with back buildings of proportionate depth, all splendidly furnished, but kept up only try a perpetual strain and struggle to make all ends meet, affords but little if anybome comfort. But a cottage where love reigns, and everything is brought so easily and systematically within the income, that an unusual expenditure does not excite apprehensions, is far more reasonable, natural and happy. If we turn to books and reading, how commonly the mistake is made, that an exteneively read man is, therefore, a well read man. It does not need many books to are an education ; but those few should be of the right kind. If well studied and digested, a few wellchosen works will do more to give grasp, strength and penetration of mind, than hundreds of volumes skimmed through as is constantly done by those who wish to pass themselves off for men of extensive reading. In fact, to read too many books is like eating of too many dishes—you digest nothing. A urge library is, of course, of infinite value for roneuSation. But for reading, little and

good should l>c the motto.

In friendship, this principle holds as good as anywhere else. A man may have a thousand intimate acquaintances, and not a friend among them all. He may give parties by the hundred, and invitations by the thousand. His drawingrooms may be crowded with the pink of fashion and beauty ; and yet he may cast his eyes over the whole assembled throng, and feel quite sure that there is not one of them but what would cut him to-morrow like an old glove if his house and furniture were sold and his money gone. A lady may have a large visiting circle, and exchange cards or even calk with the whole elite of the city and yet not know where to find amongst the whol< one soul to whom she could thoroughly and an cerely unbosom herself of the griefs of a single ’The larger the circle of acquaintances, the greater the tendency to this kind of freezing isolation of the heart. Compared with this, how happy is the lot of the humble, simple, sincere fanuiy, with but few to claim as acquaintance, and one or two at least that they know to be earnest friends, dealing truly with them, and being thus dealt with by them. And as in friendship so in tear. Large and expensive preparations, made at immense cost, and with great routine, but little science, are the worst of all defences to a country. They impoverish it in time of peace, only to afford a scientific enemy an easy victory in time of war. A small force, well disciplined—a few officers of really scientific attainments, such as our own West Point affords, are more efficient, and more dreaded than half the armies of Europe, and a very few guns of the longest range on a war steamer, are better than a heavy broadside of in-

As a specimen of the power of to Press in disseminating thought, multiplying facts, and giving currency to incidents which mark the history of localities however near or however distant, we may mention one little circumstance that mma under our observation, yesterday, as we were pouring over our exchanges. In the list was a half dozen or more of Oregon papers, and among the rest, the Oregon SUdeaman, the official paper of the Territory. On to first page, among its selections, we stumbled upon the following brief notice and extract of a speech, made some time during to late campaign, by our friend Lew. Wallace, the “Senator from Montgomery.” As a stray waif which has travelled its thousands of miles, and returned again after a season to the door rill of Mm who gave it birth, it attracted our attention, and aa a graphic portraiture—with the colon a little too strongly laid on, perhaps—of two of the moot noted end notable politicians in the Black Republican ranks, we give it publication. The Hon. Lewis Wallace, of Indiana, an Old Line Democrat, recently made a speech in Crawfords ville, in which he took occasion to allude to a couple of New Yorkers in the following style: “ In New York there is a man, long-nosed, long-headed, ready-toqgued, skillful with the pen, with a brain full of knowledge end experience, and a heart pulseless as an ice-berg a cold calculating human devil. At this mousssit, whether sleeping or waking, whether sitting or awvhy, on land or water, at home or abroad, in church or on the street, that man ia brooding over aa idea of power, and counting the steps already taken by him toward to Preekkeocy. This ia no fancy— William H. Seward Is hhuleelf no fancy. Beta a living fret, a radiant serpesit, an eloquent He, a smiling devil, a political consumption. There is another man in New York, scarcely less noted—a broad-toed, while-haired, wMteeyed, white-hatted, wMte coated, wMte-Hvered, white-sepulchre; but, withal, smaa truly wonderful, in whoae hand to ooamaaMstquBlinto wto of to commons* gray ncoo in a Jersey DutS woman’s barnyard, wouMbeeauN enoughs mighty as any that lifts to ams of our proudest Atlantic steamer.

In to series of disputes regarding the Maine boundary, Oregon and Texas, to voice of General Cass was ever violent, and his prophecies of inevitable war went nearto cause their fulfillment. At that time there existed a kind of international soreness, which seems now to bare passed away. Scarcely a copy of any opporition paper in Paris was published without a tirade against the “perfidious Albion.” and the American press was not behindhand in accusations and invectives. Ireland was mad with misery and sedition; Canada wasjust becoming tnnquilized after a long fever of discontent. Consequently, General Cass and his speeches excited no little curiosity. He was supposed to express the feelings of the majority of ms countrymen, and to indicate the likelihood of a new alliance of France and America against the mother country. But those days have passed away. The British Empire has seen discontent and disorder vanish from its bounds. All important points of difference between England and the United States have been settled; the communications between the two nations have increased so wonderfully as to make them, for all commercial purposes, a single conntry ; a better feeling has come into existence, founded on a clearer understanding of each other’s circumstances and institutions. Ou ?wn relations with oar nearest European neighbors oaC* of the most cordial kind. The speeches of General Cass and his school have, therefore, lost most of their importance. W e feel that modi of such language is mere popular oratory, much of ft the promptings of a restless and suspiaous temper. The warlike tone is, we believe, not one to which any large section of politicians, in any country, now responds; and those who still adopt ft ran the dance of being looked upon as crotchety or antiquated. • **•••* Perhaps we shall be suspected of wishing to make the best of a bad basinese, bat we cannot refrain from saying that, in dealing with a democratic community like the United states, ft may, perhaps, be os well to treat through ministers who lave a reputation for a strong national or antiEnglish spirit It is quite possible that men like Mr. Buchanan and General Cass can afford to be more conciliatory in action than others, because in profession they have always been trustful and hostile. A President who has his reputation for spirit to make may not unnaturally shrink from concluding a treaty or joining in diplomatic action with this country, well knowing that he is likelv to be represented in hundreds of newspapers as having been intimidated or overreached. But a man who can point to his former speeches, and ask if ft is likely that he would do an act derogatory to his country’s dignity, may be able to condoct international business in a friendly spirit Such, we trust, will be the case with Mr. Buchanan and his Lieutenant They will have ft in their power to remove the only cause of difference be tween the two countries by the ratification of the Central American treaty ; and we do not think that they will lose the opportunity.

•Bluest ef Virginia.

Hon. Eli Thayer, of Massachusetts, the great Emigrant Aid Speculator, has addressed a letter

to the New York Herald, concerning his scheme for the free white re-colonization of Old Virginia.

He sars the purpose of the organization is strictly

one of business—-that the laws, State and national, will be abided by, and the Constitution and Union adhered to with “wonderful tenacity.” The thing

to be done is to purchase land at Slave State pri ces, in large tracts—to give to actual settlors onefourth—sell one-fourth at cost—and sell the remainder at Free State prices—“thus doubling our money on each operation.” chance for speculation, says Mr. Thayer, is in

those counties where the slaves are numerous, for

there land is cheap. The slaveholders are them-

selves, the speculator in political philanthropy has the best of assurances, largely in favor of his movement, many of them having offered to take

stock to the extent of their ability.

A delegation of Missourians has been sent to Boston soliciting “a colony of one hundred Yankees to build a town upon a good landing on the Missouri river.” If opposed by the niggerite fanatics of Virginia, Mr. Thayer does not intend to be intimidated, as he is not the kind of man to flinch “when good dividends are at stake.” He is confident that the kidnappers will quit their business when they find it demonstrated that they can make ten per cent more in making Vimnia a free State, than in catching negroes for the Caban market We quote from Mr. Thayer’a letter: There is no use, then, in talking about hanging or shooting oar colonists, or the members of our company. If half of us were hung or shot, the rest would press on toward the shining dollars,

even though they should rush

Into the jaws of death, Into the month of bell, Like the “ six hundred.”

• • • Millions of acres of Virginia land, owned by the merchants and brokers of New York and Philadelphia will be made available at a profit to the present owners, who have heretofore despaired of selling ft at any price. Our company will therefore prove a very valuable medium between these landholders and the hardy pioneers, who can thus be furnished with homesteads on easv terms. This is too good a thing to

foil.

XT’ The New York correspondent of the Intelligencer gives the following abstract of the annual report of to Illinois Central Railroad Company: The gross of the road for the year 1856 amounted to $2,476,035, an increase of no less than sixty per cent upon the year preceding. The company have now 704 miles of road in operation, and the aggregate cost of the same, including the payment of interest and the losses on the negotiation of booda, has been very nearly twentyax millions of dollars. The disposition of the public lands received under the grant from Conmess forms an interesting feature in the report. The total amount of land received by the company was two millions five hundred and ninetyfive acres, and at the close of last year the com pany still had on hand over seventeen hundred The aggregate receipts from the and the the baas of

Cocvrar Girls.—Many girls are discouraged because they cannot be sent away from home to boarding sc hook; but men of superior minds and knowledge of me world, would rather have for wives, women well and properly educated at home. And this education can be had wherever the de

sire is not wanting.

The women in towns and cities are becoming so universally extravagant, foolish and fashionable, that men are almost in despair of obtaining wives who are not invalids, and of providing them with what they want after they have married them.— Unless the young man has the fortune (good or bad) to be the possessor of wealth, he must spend the best bloom of his youth in acquiring enough to “start upon,” as people are expected to begin now-a-days. Men even in high places would go to the country for their choice, if they met there

equal refinement and intelligence.

Town girls have the advantage of more highly

probably polished manners and greater accomplishments; The best but country girls have infinitely more to recom-

mend them as rivals of their fair city sisters.— They have more truth, household knowledge and economy, health, (and consequently more beauty,) simplicity, affection, and freshness of impulse and

thought

A sweet country home—with roses and honeysuckles trained to climb over ft; with good taste, intelligence and beauty within; toil enough to court acquaintance with books and flowers and the loveliness of nature; with peace, plenty and love —is surely one of the paradises which heaven has left for the attainment of man.—OUo Cultivator.

How. Rorr. J. Walkee’s Arroummrr.—The tinted Governor of Kansas, the Hon. er, is, by birth, a Pennsylvanian, but has resided for many years in the South. In point of ability it would be difficult for the Administration to have made a more suitable selection ; and we have such a confidence in Mr. Walker’s love of the Union, as to believe that in other respects also the choice is a good one. In point of fact, the troubles in Kansas have less to do with the slavery question than is popularly supposed, the real difficulties emanating from speculatore and from lawless men, their tools or dopes. In point of fact, also, a Governor, under existing circumstances, can do little, if anything, to determine the character of the Constitution which is to be adopted in Kansas this spring; for the Legislature is all on (me side, and can secure whatever legislation it wishes, regardless of the Governor's veto. Congress, however, possesses the power to refuse admitting Kansas if she comes with a Constitution that is not the dunce of her people; and there is little doubt that, in the event of fraud, this power will be exercised. Meantime, an able, upright man, as Governor of Kansas, has a chance second to that of no other dtisen in the Republic, to make for himself a national reputation.—PUL Ledger.

O'A New York despatch to the Baltimore Sun is as follows: “ There is private intelligence from Central America that a conference of commissioners from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and San Salvador, are now sitting at San Miguel negotiating for the partition and annexation of Nicaragua among the other States represented in the commaaon. The proposition for this arrangement came from Nicaragua. The agreement is that Costa Rica will take both banks of the river San Juan, Lake Nicaragua, and the territory between ft and the Canfoean Sea.

THE HALF IS MOT YET TOLD! Look at ow Stewies and Mantillas, examine the multitude of beautiful Scarfs, Printed Cashmere, And Stella Bordered Shawles. See the piles of Ox»£tx>o SUl.A'txrla, AND RROCHE CASHMERE SHAWLS, Examine the beautiful MANTLES OF LACE AND SILK, Comprising some twenty styles, are new. Cast your eyes over our stock of SILKS. Look at those good patterns at SEVENTY CENTS, And those at One Dollar, and those heavy and preetty Goods at ONE ROLLER TWENTY-FIVE. LOOK FURTHER, And see the daaiiing array of SILK ROBES, Beautiful in Design and Refined in Style. Then again see the different makes of PLAIN BLACX SILKS, As glossy as polished Mirrors.

Compare the prices there, then remember what they have asked you for*them elsewhere. Then come to the White Goods Department, Where the Swisre Muslins, the Jaconets, the Cambrics, the Paris Muslins and other White Goods in great variety are kept—and after you make your purchases, compare them with the Goods you have bought at some Credit House and note the difference again. If you are a House-keeper, go to the Carpet Department. Look at the SPLENDID STOCK OF CARPETS, Commencing with a fair article at twwnty-five cents, and so on up to the fine* grades. Look over oar [DAMASKS and TOWELINGS, our Napkins and Linen and Cotton Sheetings, our Pillow Linens and our Table Cloths, our elegant Marseilles Quilts, AND OUR Wriite Red Spreads. Go through every Branch of our Stock. Don’t forget the Hosiery Department, And in nearly every instance a marked difference will be seen in our favor. And then what mu* be SO AGREEABLE, Ask any one of oar Salesmen the prices, and each tells you the same—no jockeying. Come then—come with confidence—see oar Goods, compare them with others, then secure some of the Bargains offered you at the one price Oath House of HORN * READ, mch31-d2w Successors to H. J. Horn.
