" " At tlie recent Southern Commercial Convention held in New Orleans, Albert Tike, Esq., one of the most eloqnest men in the sation, made a speech. Lich was endowed by the Convention, and ordered j be printed. Trvm this speech we make the folto lowing extract : "It it liou that tee siowld look about ws and see in what relation we stand to the North, From the i f .t . . l . -4.:u rattle Vth uJilOL lwrc iic.e-e- tne rur vj wchto born in the South, to the titroud that covert Ike cold form ff ' every thine comet to utjronx far.

Is it not the fault of the South, and her blasting, withering institution, ahith makes youttibutary to the encrjry .and enterprise of tLe North? How humiliating is the confession of Mr. Tike! Wipe out the institution of slavery encourage free labor, and you a ill not again becalled upon to acknowledge your dependence npon the North. " srrzTzmzxis.- e puoiisned,' in a late number of our paper, an item from the Iu- ' diana Republican, which stated that our pivut friend, Joe Weight, had withdrawn from the Methodist church, because he had imliled the idea that his pastor (Rev. Mr. Weiib.) was a member of the Know Nothing Order. We then supposed it waa some kind of a kit at the Governor, without much truth. We are now iufoimed that the etatimciit is really tine, and that Joseph cannot visit the sanctuary where he supposes a Know Nothing officiates. The object or ! this withdrawal was evidently designed to prejudice the public mind againtt the pastor of Strange Chapel; but it will have a very different tCect, as we notice the friends of that gentleman have determined to give him the benefit of a complimentary sur per, to be given at the Masonic J fall, on this (Tuesday) evening, and thereby approve the untiring aud efficient labors of Bro. Webb in the holy cause in w hich he is engaged. Joe attempted to make a Bank at Newport tqvat he declares that he has demolished divers wigwams of Know Nothings, and is now down upon the Methodist Church. Joe a ill find this route over Jordan " a hard road to travel." We would advise him to twitch off upon Fome ride-track, for fear that a collision may send him to a place very different to that where "good niggers go. Since the above was put in type, we have fonud j the following in the Indiana Journal. Jt manifest a true christian spirit. Got. Wriciit proscribe the Pastor for his American feelings, and the Pastor tolerates the partiality of tie Governor fir foreigners : Messrs. Editors : I noticed an article in the Journal of this morning, in w hich there was an implication that the Governor desired to divide the membership of Strange Chapel, and in that way weaken its resources. I do not believe this to be his design or intention. There is no personal feeling between the Governor and myrelf, and if he has a personal enemy in the charge, I do not know iL He may have many who oppose his political view-s. The facts are these, thc Governor applied for a certificate of membership, stating as a reason that his pastor cntiously hear any man preach that w.uld proscribe I was a Know Nothing, and that tie could not confci a foreigner, j wo or the memoers oi lis lamny ate members of my charge, and Fupport me liberally.

The proceedings of the National Legislature are almost entirely devoid of interest The proposition to increase the compensation of the members of Congress, (a question in which we did feel some interest,) has failed in the Senate, as it would doubtless have done, had it reached the House. There has been a flare np among the Regents of the Smithsonian Institute, which has excited some feeling in the Senate, and a committee, we believe, has been appointed to 'examine into the manner in which that institution has been Conducted. The Pacific Railroad bill is attracting more than usual importance. The friends of the measure have not yet been able to secure unity of action. Some want three roads others one grand trunk with two branches. Mr. Benton proposed to refer the whole question to a committee of 31 members, bnt this was rejected, and it is scarcely probable that any thing definite will be done during the present session, in regard to this important project. Iadiaaa Items. The Brookville American says that a few days ago, a committee of six of the ladies of Brookville, waited on every liquor feller iu the place, with a petition to quit the business. They say in their petition that the business is in direct opposition to the laws of God, and all good municipal laws, aid in opposition to the will of this community that it is the miner of our, husbands, sons, fathers and brothers,and they therefore humbly pray that it be stopped. For fear entreaties might not be of any avail, they append thc following: Sia We come to yon an weak and defenseless women, but our wrongs and our injuries make our weakness strength, .and unless this, our prayer, be heard, "there is not a thin? under Hieh Heaven, the world aronnd, OUR WILL MASTEKET11 NOT." -This petition is sigr.cd by ttco hundred andfortyeight ladies of Brookville, whose names are publish- ' in full hr th JmMVdii. With Kuoh n frtr Vm-V jng np such a determination, the liquor sellers may find it for their advantage to an'iLJoirnxl. ..

Editorial CTeUoa. Our friend of the tripod, in Ohio, recently

held a ConTeation at ZanesTillc, at which they i appear to hare had ft "good time generally;" and j among other business, adopted the following resolutions as their platform. We heartily en- ! dorse them, and will stand beside them opon i each platform. i v 9 rr-v . .1 T) - C AIa Va i jxtscitea, lnaimtrressoi kjuiv j - !uiU ofl JiSi ;-n d . tfce we5 ht of iu influence has! - . - v .i .v.. . ri in an especial manner oeen inrun u uu im . !

I T,iJ,l That the courtesies which have. iea we have never regarded a a especial favor to , us but as a recognition on toe pari oi ice corpo- i rations, of the support which the Tress has so : liberally given them. Revolted, That the Railroad corporations, by concerted and united action, having as an busioper,tion determined to withhold those cour- " ' . , T, fUf,lr thTfor tesies from the Press m the fu.ure, theretore. be it. I Htiolred, That we, the Editors of Ohio, from this time forth, will imitate the example set us by the lUilroad Corporations, and, do that which it is for our business interest to do, make with : them our courtesies "a fair business transaction," t and recommend this course for the adoption of our brethren throughout Ohio. ; litsolved. That we earnestly reprobate the practice, too common among Editors, of personal vituperation and abuse as derogatory to the dig- ; Q'aS lnste'aTtliereof we recommend a candid and dispassionate discussion of principles, of official . conduct and qualifications. ; Hetolved, That we recognize no obligation S which would prevent us from an intrepid expose i of the frauds of monied rascals, aud pesulations of defaulting officers: and the strict aesounta-, bility, political integrity, and public morality, shall bo our motto and our aim. JiciolvcJ, That we shall devote all the im-, pulses of our heart and the dictates of our judgments to the cultivation of that entire cordiality which should pervade a profession whose en- j htrumentali ties are thought, and whose sympathies and interests are so cle;uly interwoven with the j elevation of the whole people, S Hetolved, TLat we regard it as eminently protectivo of the interests of the Press that the pri- j ' ces of our papers should not only be paid for in j j advance, but that an advance be made upon our present subscription prices, in order to afford us that fair living remuneration for expenditure of; time and money which other trades or professions j ! enjoy. j j Hetolved, That we earnestly recommend to j ; newspaper publishers of this State to establish, as ( ! far as jossibIe, uniform rates for advertising and . I job printing, and with this view we would fur- i ; ther-recommend, that the publishers in the same town aTfn amonf themselves nnon the scald ot prices, and bind themselves, as honorable nien to i 'adhere to it in all cases. Resolved, That we would recommend to pubhshers in the same town in no case to underbid each other for the purpose of securing advertising and job printing, but to maintain a good feeling and fiiendly business relations. Resolved, That as soon as convenient, we will t conduct our business upon the cash principle, in so far as practicable, all subscriptions, advertisements and jobbing to be paid for strictly in advance, except where we have mutual dealing with business men. Trouble ix tub Wigwam By the last Indiana j Journal, we find a correspondent complaining that j the Free Soilers have not received their full share of; the "spoils of victory." There is some reason in the complaint, as we believe due respect snouia nave oeen .iaid or hereafter be paid to the respective elements ! iAf rns;nn xthu-h ri-i frmwi 1nd:nr.a rrt,m tke old line, slavery -extending Democrats, l'arty rule and party ruin was broken down by a combination of the opposition to the Nebraska swindle; and although I j we do not regard the offices in thc gift of the legisla-; j ture as wortljy a quarrel between parties contending j 1 for important principles, j et common justice demands ; that the influence of each party should be recogni- j ; zed, and fair proportion of the responsible positions : iu the State awarded to each. j I It appears that ot a caucus of the dominant party ; in the legislature, recently held, a Mr. Brown, a Pem- ' ocrat, was nominated for State Agent, and Mr. Chap- , man, also a Democrat, for State Printer. The nomi- j nation for U. S. Senator hai cot yet been made, but j it is pretty generally conceded that the Senator is to j ; be a Whig. These are the only important ofBces to ' ; be filled at thc present session, and the Free Soilers ' are left by these nominations in the hack ground The ! ' responsibility rests with the members of the Legisla- j iture, and we have no disposition to interfere, bnt we j must Dc permuted to say tnat euner me Ageni oi State or State Printer should have been given to the , Free Soilers. This would have secured, or ought to t havs secured, that harmony which is so necessary to success in the great conflict of 1S5C, by which great ; National questions are to be decided. ; Tns LBGisi.ATrRn More than one-third of the t time allowed te the Legislature by the constitution, : IUI ,13 flKU, OOTOUU, UK .i.UOIlk, 1. . VU, III tie business has been transacted The more important business has not been approached with any seeming detlniteness. The Banking question has scarcely been mgoted the School Law has not been reported no attempt has been made, that we have seen, to revise those laws which have been declared uneonsti-' tational in their form by the Supreme Court. It is 1 said that the- was not a single law passed at the ses- j sion of IS52 3, and which has been tested before that Court, which ha not been decided to be unconstitu-; tionaL Some fifty or sixty of those laws are under the ban of that tribunal We are pleased to see, how- , ever, that an excellent Temperance bill has been re- j ported and printed. If the Legislature will pass that : bill, the people will give them creat credit, and will i excuse many delinquencies of which they may be 1 guilty. j i It is to be hoped, however, that when the commit-. ! tees have had a little more time to work, things will ' progress more speedily. We have but little expecta-. J tion that even the committees will work ontil it is def-, ; initely settled whether there is t be a Senator elected or not. The Senate should determine this matter, ; and let it be understood what they will do. We are i not yet convinced that they will take the responsibili-! ty of a postponement. We do not believe that they ' saA MkT.Ftrf Lk svf TvnKlU AnlniAit w Atwi i r4 1 the will of a majority of 15,000 of the intelligent toI i ten of Indiana nor of their sworn duty to perform j the duty of Senators to the best of their ability.

Her touch to me was what the sun I to the buds he shines upon; cihe taught me first 'twas Nature's plan To make a boy but half a man, And that it was decreed above, lie is th- boy who ca::cot love. Oh! many a poet's heart has rnn With pain or pleasure, as the tongue S .iid words which gave him life and health; The health of hope, the life of wealth, .-Aid words as she has said the same, Thonsjh with a struggle fierce they came; A heart is never more to me Re-echoed in thy miiistreUy, Although you ever wisely frame, lu "words that born," the thoujrhts of flame, Hy passion's breath no more I'm moved, I cannot love as I have loved: I care not fur a land of spice, And repions warm, my heart is ice; I care not for the silent pain. That racks the dreaming- sleepers braia; I care not no, 'tis my delight To haunt their weary dreams at night. And mock with many visions Ceet, Those who have languished at my feet " A bird upon a winter tree, The wind a sighing o'er the sea, A ruined houae, a haunted well, A witching bog, a weired del!, A veree that wants the grace of rhyme. The bells trfM fall from stalks of thyme, A lute with broken sftrintrs,a shell I'otenanted a nselera bell, A hou.e without a festive ha'l. Are emblems of my state. In all There something is we cannot , Unmeasured depth of mystery; An element we know too well. A depth to feel, bnt not to tell, Where aS the little state they have, Is bat a mockery of the grave.
