The State Sentinel will be issued Triweekly during the coming session of the Legislature, as usual. We shall employ a corps of the best reporters, and the proceedings of the Assembly will be given in our usual full and correct form.

Mr. C. comes recommended by various persons of responsibility, acquainted with his qualifications. He was one of the originators of the Covington, Ky., Commercial College, represented to be a eucce6fu? and useful institution. The course of instruction ia very comprehensive, and altogether of grett necessity and service to the roan of business. We hope our young men will profit by the favorable opportunity here offered to them. The Speaker. A correspondent recommends David T. Disney of Cincinnati, as a good man for Speaker of the next TJ. S. House of Representatives. It is do more than right that the western members should see that the rights of the West are fairly regarded in this matter, n jt so much on the 6Core of local interests which may thus be subserved, as for thu purpose of furthering the general interests of the whole country, regardless of questions of local or peculiar interest to any section. The Speaker controls in a great degree, the constitution of the committees, and upon the committees depends very much the character of legislative enactments. Heretofore lias been chiefly considered the protection and the interests of capital. It is high time now to begin to look to the interest of labor, and to take care that it shall have fair play, so far ascongress has control of the subject. From the adoption of the Constitution, to this moment capital has in a great measure controlled congressional legislation. The Moloch of slavery on the one hand, and the Mammon of Manufacturing Capita! on the other, have, either singly or united, been the chief objects which have claimed and obtained the attention and fostering aid of congress. Rival interests, though both property, whenever tVy could not win a point against each other, they havo ccrmprcmissl for their common benefit, at the expense of the Rights of Man. To the West belongs the guardianship of the Utter. Let it be asserted, and we shall carry the point, for all circtimataoces favor it. We should no longer suffer the West to be mnde a mere appendage to other eections. We arc old enough and strong enough to assume the position manhood. and to exert a controlling influence upon the policy of the country. In dolDg this, personal matters should be made a secondary consideration. We should seek the elevation of men to offices of trust and power, with an eye to the primary principle of patriotism, whoe great end should be the security of the just rights and interests of all sections and of all men. European News. Papers brought by the steamship Europa, recently arrived, represent, that there had been a tremendous popular demonstration in London, to consider the advertisement recently isssued by the Austrian government, for a loan of 7,000,000 terling. The meeting was fixed for 1 o'clock, and the gieat room of the London Tavern was filled with company before the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings. A number of ladies were present, and amongst the company on the platform were. Lord D. Stuart, Mr. G. W. Alexander, Mr. R. Cobden, M. P., Mr. J. William, M. P., the Rev. J. Burnet, Mr. Gilpin, Mr. J. Morland. c. Mr. Cobden roundly denounced any loan to Austria to put down republicanism, he said, in western Europe, or any other part of Europe. His speech occupies three closely priuted columns of the London Times of the 9th. It will be very influential, we have no doubt. Cost or Riots. The Pa. Ledger says, it appears by a report of the county board, that nearly a quarter of a million dollars ($233,230) has been paid out cf the County Treasury since 1S36 for the suppression of riots. This sum does not include the snug little bill which has yet to be footed for the riot on election right, which will probably bring the amount quite up to a quarter of a million. C7The Erie, Pa., Observer, and other papers, recommend the Hon. James Thompson of Pa., for Speaker of the U. S. House of Reps. The first question we should ask, about any candidate, would be, is he radically right on the tariff question 1 That is, will be labor to keep the tariff down to the lowest possible revenue standard. If he be right on this, and other democratic issues, he would be good enough tu get our votes, (having the necessary personal qualifications, of course,) otherwise he would net A Colored Postmaster iy Vi. The Tost Master General, on the representation of seme person at Farnham, Richmond county, Va was led to rppoint M! Spencer Marden, Postmaster at that place, who, it turns out, is a free man of color. Upon being advised of the fact, the Postmaster General abolished the office. Dayton Journal, whig. A smart operation all round, truly. This miserable administration is so contemptible that it is only thought fit to be hoaxed and booted at on every hand ! And then to abolish the ojlce, thus inflicting a positive injury upon a whole town and neighborhood, to punieh a wog for leadiug the department into a ridiculous blunder, is rather a bigh-hanJed proceeding, we should think. OrWe understand that Dr. W. F.Sherrod and the notorious Col. Do wies had a personal recontre in 'Orange county a few days since. We presume the difSculty had its origin in the second regiment afiVr, as Dr. Sherrod has tevcr hesitated to freely express his opinion of Bowles's conduct on that subject Ntw Alb. Ledger. Eowlea will weigh twice as much as Sherrod, we suppose. We are cot told who came off second best; but we think very likely that Sherrod's pluck made up for hi deficiency in weight. We hope so, at least. CrThe Telegraph state now, that Madame Bodisco publishes a card denying the statement of tho New York Courier and Enquirer, relativ) to her busband. She received a letter from him by the Europa, stating that he bad left Russia for America, and would arrive here by the first of January. C7"The Taylorito Washington correspondent of the Journal tf Commerce writes as follows: Mr. Walter Forward, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, is appointed Solicitor of the Treasury, in the place of Mr. K. 11. lillet, removed. It is report ed that the Cabinet lave determined to remove Assistant Post Master General Hobbie, and the Sixth Auditor, Mr. Washington. It is well known that the Cabinet have come to a decision to put their friends in possession of all tS nfnees.

. For tie State Sentinel. Messks. Editoks: I clip the following from the Free Territory Sentinel, of this week, concerning the course of Mr. Julian, our Free Soil Democratic Congressman, on the vote or election for Speaker; and whilst the democracy of this district may approve of the outline as there given of his intended conduct, yet they cannot justify the tone and spirit of the article os given editorially in that paper. But it is not expected by the democracy that he, the Representative of the two parties, I may say of the almost one party, wi prove recreant tc tho trust confided to his keeping, nor that he will give cause of regret to his friend in this district tint that trust was reposed in him, by entering into any arrangement s.s one of the members of the Free Soil party, to annoy and disarrange the course and measures which the old democracy may find it necessary to pursue in the organization of the House. For myself, I would prefer to see some Northern or Western Democrat the nominee of our party instead of Mr. Cobb of Georgia, much as I repect his talents and abilities, and therefore present among the many names, that of David T. Disney, the member from Ohio. Although Mr. Disney is a young member of the House, yet from the character and reputation he possesses, and his knowledge of parliamentary rule and legislation, I nm fcatUGed he would make an able and efficient officer. Independent of this fact, the young giant Sta'.e of Ohio is entitled to some of the honors of the House, and Disney being a Western man, allied with and feeling deeply interested in our free institution, freedom of the Territories, &c. Every democratic free-soiler could with all propriety vote for him as Speaker in opposition to Winthrop or any other . Taylor candidate, be he pure Whig or base Taylorite.

I present, then, the name of Mr. Disney for the consideration of the democracy, knowing that with such a man the vote of Mr. Julian would be certain, and the hopes and expectations of the "old Burnt district" realized and confirmed. I notice your remarks on my article concerning tho qualifications of candidates for the ofSces to be filled by our Legislature; and am sorry that you misconstrue my intention in writing it. I did not mean to cast a reflection on Mr. Morton, either personally or, to coin a phrase, pro officio ; but rather to call the attention of the Legislature to the fact of the necessity of age, experience and wisdom, being among the qualifications of the cand. dates; and argued that young men could not have theso ; hence the impropriety of their friends pushing their claims forward in such haste. Had these qualifications been the test of our Fund Commissioners, our Cale Smiths and Others, the State of Indiana would have been saved the shame and Btigtns. of repudiation and bankruptcy, which for a season clouded her honor. WHITE WATER. The Sfeakerfiiif. We clipped from the Rushville Jacksonian, a week or two since, an article in relation to the organization of the U. S. House of Representatives, which we designed to copy, but unfortunately we have mislaid it. The article stated that certain Free Soilers, and among them Mr. Julian, would probably act with the Democrats in the organization of the House. What rcacon the Jacksonian has for this supposition, we cannot imagine. Whether Mr. Julian or other Free Soilers will act with the Democrats, will depend, we think, upon the character of the respective candidates. In regard to the Speakership, there has been much speculation as to who will be candidates, and how the parties will range themselves. On this subject the National Era, which we regard as pretty good authority, says: M The probability if, that th following gentlemen will act together, far as tbe organization of the House, id its relations lo Slavery, is concerned, vizi Arno Tack, Charles Allen, Walter Booth, Preston King, David Wilmot, John W. Howe, J. R. Giddings. Joseph M. Root, Georg W. Juli.n, Charles Durkee, and. if elected, John G. Palfiey. " If Whigs and Democrats, ia caucus, select ai their candidates for lha Speakership, men not to be trotted on Ihe rubjeel of Slavery, 10 far as it lies within tha federal juridiction, thtie gentlemen will not feel themselves under any obligat ioo to uppoit them. Ws very much mUtake lha character of lha men, if iheyd not undertake lo manag their own affriit, in their own way, soSeiing no dklatioa from aa administration or anti-administiatioo caucus. They ar fully comtent to th taik, aod the people who elected them believ so." Other intelligence which we have on the subject, satisfies us that the Era is, in all probability, correct in its calculation. Judging from present indications, Mr. Winthrop will be tho caucus candidate of the Whigs, and Cobb, of Georgia, of the Democrats. Neither of these men coulj Free Soilers consistently support. Mr. Cobb is a Southern man, a Slaveholder and sn advocate of the peculiar institution.' In the organization of the several Committees, he would unquestionably have a special regard to the Slave question. For a Free Soiler to give his vote for such a man as Speaker, would be tha grossest dereliction cf duty, complete treason against the cause he has espoused. We do not believe any Free Soiler will do it, we feel entirely confident that the member from this District, at leas', will not, but will act the part of an honest, independent and consistent friend of Freedom when the struggle comes. And whatever Democrats out of the District may hope or wish, we do not believe that there is a Democrat in the District, that expects Mr. Julian to support any man. Whig or Democrat, who is wedded to the institution of Slavery. If the Democrats bring out a man that csn be trusted on the question of Slavery, that will be true lo the cause of Human Liberty, Mr. Julian, we think, will go with them, otherwise not. There are men in the Democratic party whom be could support, but Mr. Cobb is not one of them. Decease of James Gillespie, Esq. ' Council Chamber, Iadianajtolis, Nov. 3, 1349.

A Whig Mother. The Washington Republic publishes the following extract from a letter which the editors have received from a lady at the North givirg some instructions as to the direction of her copy of the Republic: You may think strange that a lady should subscribe f r a political paper at all. I have four sons, some of them young men, all of whom I wish to make good whigs. The reason. I do not wish it taken to the store is, there they are full of business and it is not half read; besides, all the boys do not go to the store. If it is on the ccntre-tab'e they all have the benefit of it. Husband is a good whig already, but bis brothers are democrats, and wish all the rising generation to be democrats, but we say not no; we will make all the whigs we can. . We respect President Taylor and his administration." Is n't she exceedingly green ! ßT-'The Separationist and Advocate of Freedom,' is the title of a folio sheet, proposed to be published in this city, monthly, at 50 cts. per year, by the Rev. J. Mitchell. It is devoted to the emancipation and colo nization of the African race. Mr. M. we believe to be a sincere believer in the practicability and necessity of the measures which have distinguished the or ganized advocates of colonization, and whatever the devotion and talents of one man can accomplish will be aimed at and ardently labored for by him. 07"A pamphlet, recently published at Boston, furnishes som interesting statistics respecting the dis tribution of capital in Boston, and in Massachusetts ft appears that there are two hundred and twenty-four individuals in Boston, worth in the aggreate 71,855,000: the average wealth of these individuals is $321,761, and it is generally supposed that thisesti mate is below, rather than above the truth. The assessors' valuation of the property in Massachusetts in 1840. was 299,888,338: it would appear there fore, by the above estimate that allowing three thou sand other individuals in the State to be worth each $30,000, which from statements given appears to be the fact three thousand, two hundred and twenty four individuals owu more than half of all the property in the State. 07" There are three hundred and seventy lawyers in Boston, upon which the correspondent of the Daily Advertiser says : Three hundred and seventy lawyers! horresco refertas.

Improved Printing Press. -"No ta Bene," in his last letter in the Concordia (Miss.) Intelligencer, has the following: 'Mr. James A. Campbell, quite a youth, has invented, and, I believe patented, a most important improvement on the printing press. It prints both sides of a sheet, in passing it once through, and performs, what is technically called its own feeding and flying. It will print 18.000 sheets an hour, being about 5,000 more than the best presses now used, and saves much personal labor. Mr. C. is the son of the Rev. A. Campbell, a learned divine of this city, formerly President of Mississippi College, at Clinton. He is not a mechanic, but got his ideas by visiting our printing offices, one of the best schools in the world, for the development of mind, and the acquisition of knowledge." On Thursday night last, a German laborer in Jeffersonville la., was brutally murdered. He had some money, and was decoyed out by two of his own countrymen, who lately came from New Orleans. They killed him with a hatchet, snd buried him near a brick yard. Marks of blood led to a vigorous search for the missing man. and he was soon found. The scoundrels are in jail, and will, no doubt, get their deserts. The name of the murdered man was Smidt. The supposed murderers are Wm. Graf and C. Gatx. A Comtbast.

WILLIAMS, ) J. F. MERRILL, Committee. J. LITTLE. ) This energetic company deserve well of the public. They have contributed liberally of their time and means in procuring this Engine and apparatus, (which is far ahead of any thing of tte kind yet seen in this place,) and hold themselves ready at all times to aid in the preservation of the property of the people from destruction. We understand thry are yet indebted about $1,('00 dollars, and rely upon the liberality of those interested to make up Ihe amount. It ought to be done, and we hope it will be, without delay. From the London Morning Chronicle of Set4. 15. The revolutionary scheme for the re-distribution of Europe (we use the epithet for conciseness' sake, and as sufficiently appropriate for our present purpose) this scheme has been, for the present at )ast, completely checkmated by the submission of Hungary. Its essential feature was the dismemberment of the Austrian Empire, and it involved, of course, the consequences with which Fuch a catnstrophe was pregnant, viz., anew revolution in Italy a new revolution in Germany the amalgation of the German States into one powerful commonwealth, republican in substance, if not in form, (for in no other species of common government could it or can it be expected that North and South would ultimately acquiesce) and the transfer to Hungary of the valley of the Low er Danube aud tin? remaining territories of the House of Hapsburg-Lorraine. These were all parts of one consistent plan, and the contingency on which they hung, the thread which bound them together, was tho success of the Magrar arms. The cannexion was pointed out by us before the struggle began, and thetruth of our anticipations was fully confirmed by the j latter stages of its progress. Nor was this all. The probability that the struggles of the new Magyar! -s- - a e . f . js State to make good its footing among the ruins of the Empire would lead to a Polish war of Independence, and eventally to extensive revolutionary convulsions in Turkey, and perhaps in Russia herself, although overlooked or denied in England, was too obvious not to enter into the calculations of Continental politicians of every hue. In this light it was that the Hungarian war was viewed as well at St. Petersburg as at Geneva; this gave it the importance which it wore both in the eyes of the Czar and in those of the Democratic Clubs of London and Paris ; and it is to an unwillingness to accept the responsibility of ac . " . : t ...v.......w., ... a fm Kk ft n tj vn ah a as a -v aw a n . so difficult to fathom, that we must ascribe the passive attitude which the Government of Western Europe have thought fit to retain in the presence of events certainly not ill calculated to challenge opposition and provoke interference. Austrian Ferocity. Austria, notwithstanding it has conquered the Hungarians, or tather got the Russians to do what its own weakness could not accomplish, exhibits in its vengeance a ferocity which strongly marks its consciousness of its own imbecility and fear. Madam de Maderspatch. Hungarian lady of influence at Ruskburg. gives the following account of her own treatment after the irrender: "I was suddenly taken," she sa)s, "by Austrian soldiers from my husband and children, and without any charge having been brought, or any previous examination made, I was dragged Into a square firmed by Ihe troops, and in the place where I reside and in Ihe presence of its population, which had been accustomed to honor me, not because I was their mistress, but because the whole tenor of my life deserved it, J was flogged with rods." Frantic at this dreadful act, her husband, whom she describes as a man of the highest moral and intellectual qualities, shot himself. The people attempt to massacre Ihe commanding officer, but he was protected by Ihe troops. "My con," adds the lady, " who i only 13, was taken in Gcorgey'a army and has been sent as a common soldier to Itally. Thus my cup of bitterness is full. My misery is boundless, and it is only in the wish to liberate my boy that I now live." Orphan Abtlcm. The State Sentinel publishes the proceedings of a meeting lately held at Indianapolis for the purpose of taking preliminary steps toward the establishment of an institution for the comfortable and respectable employment, support and education of indigent orphans. The constitution of our State contemplates the establishment of such institutions, and it is proposed to petition the Legislature strongly from every part of the Slate to act upon the subject immediately. We approve the plan decidedly. We should even like to see an institution of tbe kind in every county, if possible, to give honorable home and employment, and thus a comfortable self-support to all poor persons who might choose to avail themselves of it, with a department to give employment as well as confinement, to insane persons when necessjry, snd criminals. Valparaiso Ia.) Observer. 07"The citizens of Indianapolis have held a meeting to take into consideration the establishment of a Slate Orphan Aesylum. The object is ono that commends itself by the strongest arguments to the favorable consideration of the people snd legislature of the State. It would be a credit to the state. We learned from our friend, S. Major, Eq. some days ago, that the other Benevolent Institutions, at or near Indianapolis, were iu a very flourishing condition. All such institutions, if prudently conducted, are an honor to a state. ShtlbqtiUe Volunteer. Supposed Lobs or a California Partt.

We have now the wealth of the; State; as large a population men equally qualified : with Southern gentlemen; and the future prospects of northern Indiana, if true to her own interests, are not snrpnssed by any portion of Ihe Union. Rail Roads are now in progress, or about commencing, from Lafayette, Logansport, and Peru, to the centre of the State, aud another is now in progress along the northern ae of Ihe State; and the influence of our State egent on these works will be very important. We have several persons who could fill this office with credit to themselves and the State; and by a united effort, a suitable man may be elected. Let me propose the name of Ebenr"r M. Chamberlain, of Goshen, as a suitable pprson, and one who can succeed, if a candidate. Judge Chnmberliin is well known as a man cf business habits, and to all that know him no rrccnmmendation is required as to character or qualifications The South has had this office for six years, and justice requires that the north should have it the incoming term; and I hope that the northern members will insist that this officer shall come from th" country north of the Wabash. CASS. State Agent. The Lganport Pharos contains a communication in which the name of the lion. E. M. Chamberlain, President of the Ninth Judicial Circuit is nominated for the oTice of State Agent, to be elected this winter by the Legislature. If Mr. Collins, the present efficient Agent, cannot he re-elected, or some other good Whig, nothing would please us more than to ste Judge Chamberlain fill the office of otate Agent. We have known' him from our boyhood, and believe him to possess superior qualifications for the office. Lafayette Journal, whig. Mr. C. B.

The Commercial correspondent of the Washington Union, under date of Oct. 10, writes as follows : There are many indications abroad that lhe new Congress will be insulted with propositions in the face of the growing republicanism of the world, to take a retrograde step and reimpoe upon the labor of free Americans indirect taxes for the benefit of privileged capital. The burden of capital upon labor is becoming recognized as one of the greatest evils of civilization. The whole wealth of the country is admittedly the result of labor. As capita increases in amount, the annual draught upon labor, in Ihe shape of interest, to support the growing extravagance of non-producing capitalists, falls with increasing weight upon industry, and widens the difference between wealth and poverty, destroying the middle classes. It is fre quently alleged by protectionists, that "the unexam - pled increase of wealth in England from the time of Cromwell" has resulted from her protective system, These theorists hare vet to learn that which has theorists hare yet to learn that ii'itcu hoch ut"'u ii man 01 aicouiqii it, . mal I in ' .... that the protective system has not increased wealth; it has only drawn it from the hands of its producers into those of ... , , . .. , .l lies the understanding and excites the envy of those . . i u.u ji here who seek afnuence by the same means, regardless e.u , , ....

Taylor for Iiis report of tha battle of Buena Vista demanding now that Congress ahall "dnjualics to the Second Regiment of Indiana Volunteers." A portion of tha "Second Regiment" will not be very like to appreciate a kinclnesa of this sort. If Congresa should conclude to do them "justice, no doubt they would "retreat" faster than they did at Buena Vista. Dayton. Journal. During the war, the Dayton Journal took the side of the enemy, and it now but fulfils its vocation when ft slanders a Regiment by branding it as cowardly that lost more men than any other Regiment save one, that fought at Buena Vista. But one man showed signs of fnar and that was its Taylor whig Colonel end he is defended by the whig press, while Ihe brave men under his command are branded with cowardice by the same reckless party. Oio Statesman. Progressing Backwards. In Kentucky are some 120,000 non-slaveholders, representing ßtesixlhs of her white population. There is now assembled in Frankfort a'convention engaged in re-modcling the Constitution f the S ate. In this Convention the non-slaveholders, have not a single representative Ihe one hundred delegates are all slaveholders, although they represent but onc-sixlhof the white population. And this fact, so extraordinary, it 'is conceded by the Louisville Journal, requires that the system of slavery should be indefinitely kept up! 'And to this end a Comn ittee of the Convention have made a report, recommending a prohibition lo voluntary emancipation, although it is conceded that its permission would only lend to an imperceptible wearing out of Ibe system by natural cause, after a great lapse of time. As a further indication of "progression backwards," it is proposed in Convention, to empower :he Legislature to remove, forcibly, the free blacks from the Slate. It was but a few years ago, that public opinion in this gallant commonwealth, was fast pressing her onward to a more elevated position even among the Free States. Why this backward movemeut! Cin. Gazette. . Sugar. It is estimated that the expnrts ol sugar from Cuba for 1850, if nothing occurs to injure lhe crop between Ibis and the early part of December, will be equal to 1,500,000 boxes, worth, at present rales, (molasses included,) about $33,000,000. The largest crop ever exported hitherto was in 1847, amounting to near 1,300,000 boxes; since which date tbe cultivation has been increased, and the present season has becu uncommonly favorable

Pafeu Monet ix Europe. The Parisan correspondence of the Washington Republic, of a late date, contains the following remarks in relation to the paper circulation of Central and Southern Europe: One of the great troubles in Southern Europe will be with their paper money. As a necessary consequence of the terror which the revolution and the bloody scenea of the past year inspired, specie almost disappeared from circulation, each one hiding what he had. All sorts of devices were adopted to jpply its place. Its exportation was forbidden. Bank notes of small denominations were issued. Permits to bankers and corxrati.ns to make similar issues were granted; but these remedies proved insufficient. In Austria and Bavaria, the past summer, such has been the want of small coin that the florin (forty rente) bank no'es are very commonly halved, quartered, and even divided into eighths, in order to make equivalent sums in small change; as, for example, for five cents, ' the eight of a florin note is given, and these "rags' pass readily current. This not sufficing, inn-keepers, merchants, towns, corporations, c , have issued small notes, which pass, or which have to pass, for want of other currency in their neighborhood. Spe

cie, of course, is enormously high. I am told that it commands almost all over Austria from 25 to 35 per cent. The silver thaler of Prussia, for example, is worth now in Austria, 30 per cent, premium in the currency of theuntry. snd gold is still higher. lhe Austrian and Hungarians have each, lor months past been manufacturing continually vaat quantities of bank notes, which are forced into circulation. The report of the Bank of Vienna, lately pub lished, rives a specie deposit of twenty-seven mil lions lo a paper circulation of almost two hundrtd and sixty millions, and tin probably is far short of the mark! Kouth, who had a mania for financiering. was by no means behind-hand with Austria in putting forth paper money; presses were kept at work day and night manufacturing it. The Austrian notes were declared worthless, and vast quantities of the Hungarian came into circulation, and passed readily. One of Ihe fit acts of lhe Austrian government, since the eubmiesion of Georgy, ia to declare these worthless. The Russians, however, have taken them freely at par, and it is thought that some arrangement will be made less fatal to the Hungarians than this. At the capitulation of Venico they have declared the Venitian notei tobe available only at 50 per cent. Such acts are unworthy the government of a civilized nation. Plank Roads. It should never be lost sight of, that plank roads will add to the value of the commerce of this city beyond any roads that can he constructed. At the same time they will afford the people a refuge against the monopoly of railrods, which require a greater outlay of capital, and will consequently continue to be held by the commercial and monied clashes as long as the present organization of society endures. There are three great means of connecting the city with the country, and thus at length bringing about a more perfect onion of the three great departments of national existence agriculture, manufactures and commerce. These are common roads, plank roads and railroads. The first is not well adapted to this region of country when they are much traveled, but nevertheless acts as a check upon the second, while lhe second prevents lhe monopoly, consequent upon ihe greater cost of the third, from pressing too heavily upon the people. Consequently norailrond should be without a plank road running along side of it, and no plank road should be without a common road, to act as a check npon the avarice of its proprietors. Thus Ihe principle of competition should alo pervade this department i f social progress. It is no doubt a wie dispensation of Providence that civilization should thin proceed from the less to the more perfect in the arts ard sciences, so that, no matter how far superior intelligence may seixe upon the advantages its possession bestows, the great mats of men are enabled to fall back upon the fir! rudiments of social existence, and trust to them for refuge from the dangers of utter dependence. Another reason why we thould pay more attention to plank roads, may be found in the fact, that railroads lend lo destroy, in a great degree, the retail trade of a place. , The trade of this description which came a loug distance, is most generally lost, and the city must replace it by that drawn from a les-tcr distance. This can only be done by roads which open i ,,,e "urcea 'e cnuiry imrneoiaieiy rounu, uius f rea,in fresh custom to replace that which was j ost Chicago Democrat. Lard Oil.
