Proscription for Opinion's Sake. —Under this caption we frequently find, in otir Whig exchanges, paragraphs of complaint about removals from office. We can see neither sense nor profit in whining over that matter. What was the great struggle last summer all about 1 Was it not to see which party should be on the top rail for the next four years And was it not distinctly understood, that the successful party should enjoy the offices 1 To be sure there were great principles at stake,.which the honest— the few honest politicians on both sides, con* tended for, as paramount to all other considerations but was not the great majority of electioneering busy bodies actuated and animated by that grgat, glittering prize, the golden calf set up at Washington, which was to be carved and dished out in due time to the invited guests? Well, the Democrats took the capital, and since it was their fortune, there is neither decency nor dignity in grumbling at it. By the custom of both parties, the new President has aright to turn out all Whig officers—responsible only for substituting faithful and competent men.— For our own part, we do not wish to see a single Whig in office under the present Administration. The Democratic party profess and proclaim that they have the best, principles, the best men, and the best policy for governing the country. And professing what they do, they are bound in all honesty to use the ample power they now possess, to corry out, to perfection, their own ideas.—

We want to see the experiment tried on the most liberal scale, without a single Whig mixed up in the management of National affairs, used as a scape-goat, and bear the blame of whatever happens to go wrong. Out with the Whiga, say we give us a Democratic army of office-holders, rank and file, from the commander-in-chief down to the corporal's shoe-black. Nothing short of such an experiment will be a conclusive test of the competency, integrity, wisdom, and statesmanship of the dominant party.— Charleston (Ills.) Courier. ,f

We heartily respond to eV6ry sentiment of the above, so well expressed by the Editor of the Charleston Courier. We have always supported the idea of either party being sustained, or sustaining itself, with the aid of its friends in office. Why not? Each party professes the support of certain political principles—the advocacy of certain distinct measurosv "'Whether right or wrong, is not the question, when the people have decided. Let the dominant party have the offices, and be responsible for the result of their good or evil deeds—as well as the ben eficial or injurious effects of their principles upon the community. We were with those who did not think Gen. Taylor and his Cab inetat all times sufficiently prompt in removals from and appointments to office. Neither shall wecomplain if those who fought for and carried the day, in the battle of 1852 shall insist upon their own full share of that idea so well defined in the phrase "Loaves and FishesLet them have it! and then when the other side turns up, after the country has had enough of Locofocoism, the "loaves and fishes" may also find it convenient to have a now set of acquaintances.— But upon principle, we say let the dominant partv have the offices, and then let the country judge for itself. We hope to see every Whig turned out, and his place filled by a friondof the ruling party, wherever one can be found capable or h'onest enough for the office.

COUNTERFEITS.—We have been shown a very good specimen of a $5 changed from a $1 of the PRAIRIE CITY BANK of

this place. Thompson's REPORTER thus refers to it: "5s on the PRAIRIE CITY BANK—altered from 1s—vig. Locomotive and Cars—genuine have a Steamship for a vig. In the altered note, the figure 5 is on both upper corners; in the genuine it is on the upper right hand corner and lower left corner—well done and calculated to deceive. ~~~~~~~

TERRIFIC.—Telegraph from Boston on the 24th states that the Railway bridge at Salmon Falls was burned on the previous day. During the fire the train approached, and being under such such headway could not stop, but fortunately the timbers were still sufficient to sustain the weight, and the train dashed o-

ver safely. ~~~~~~~

AMOSSXKKTS.—*The last best, was that of the BtAitELY FAMtur^who really delighted full houses for three nights.— The next worth thinking of will be RA* MOND & Co. and VAN AntitfitGH & Co. Menageries. See ther splwndiJ bill of entertainment, and keep your money for the Menagerie of June 13th.

NEW YOKK, April, 1853.

Dear Sir:—Annexed, you have Prospectuses of several beautiful illustrated and valuable educational works which I am publishing.

If you will favor me by advertising said prospectuses regularly till the works are complete, and notice monthly The Illustrated Magazine of Art and the Popular Educator, I will send them as issued. For good editorial notices of-Magazine arid Educator repeated in each issue, 1 will give .other works published by me, to the value of 96r 00 per annum. -C1 would be much obliged by ybur noticing the Prospectus of the Popular Educator, and sending me a paper, which will insure its being sent to you regularly for editorial notice. You will find it the cheapest and best educational work ever published.

Respectfully, yours,

ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY. The Prospectuses of the works he desires published would make a column each in the Gazette, our price for publishing which would be $150,00 per annum and as the works are issued in monthly parts, one year would be as short a time as Alexander Montgomery, 17 Spruce street, New. York, asks us to publish them. There area few fools left in the West probably who would comply with the above very reasonable request, but we inform Mr. Montgomery and others through him, that we have our prices for every thing we print. It is high time the printers of the West thought a little of protecting their interests against the machinations of such jackanapes as this Montgomery, and we hope these remarks will meet a hearty amen from our brethren of the Press. —Vincennes Gazette.

We admire the spirit of the Gazetteitt thus properly rebuking such an outrageous demand as that made by Montgomery. We received a like communication from the same source, with the prospectuses, and the same modest request for publication in the Wabash Courier. Alexander Montgomery, however, is only one of a large class East, who seem to think that Western Editors haye nothing to do but advance the cause of some new project for the pecuniary benefit of those interested without adequate pay or remuneration to the printer. Scarcely a week paases that we do not receive communications with advertisements requested to be published a few months for a mere song in compensation—euch perhaps as a book, a pamphlet, so many numbers of a periodical, and the like. With us such communications are immediately consigned to the flames. Although, per chance, the very next day,in some exchange, we will see the same matter published with perhaps some display, and an editorial. Such a course is suicidal and derogatory to the character-of an independent Press, and should *be discountenanced by every honorable Editor.

BANK LANDS.—-We learn by the St. Louis Republican that a sale of the lands belonging to the State Bank of Illinois, took place on the 10th at Bellvilte. The attendance was very large, and the bidding spirited. The prices varied from five to ten dollars per acre, payable in the notes of the bank. A good many persons were on hand with these notes, which were held at 70 cents on the dollar. The Bank of Missouri got rid of a portion of her nest egg at tills rate. It is a matter of doubt whether the assets of the bank will be sufficient to meet the circulation yet outstanding.

WHAT ARE wfi COMING TO?—The Lebanon (O) Citizen, of the 4th, had in* formati from New Burlington, on the line between Clinton and Green counties, that an election for School Directors had taken place in that district, Benjamin Carman, Drue Magee, and William Hurd being chosen by the people. Carman is a whit? abolitionist, and Magee and Hurd are negroes, fullblooded negroes. The district that has been guilty of the beastliness of electing these beings gave a heavy majority for

Pierce last November.—Louisville Journal.

England, for post-office purposes, is divided into seven districts. Each district is placed under the superintendence of a surveyor, to whom all the post-office employes in the district are subordinate. Letters posted in each district are stamp letters with peculiar coloured composition. Thus, all postmasters in the western district, stamp letters with a yel ow-coloured composition in the midland district the color is blue in the home district it is brown in the northern, red in the North Wales, green and in the South Wales, purple.

YESTERDAY, just before the Express train left Indianapolis, two men were arrested on suspicion of having flooded that city with counterfeit notes on the City Bank of New Haven, Connecticut. After the cars reached the station in this city, Mr. Hobbs found a carpet bag iu the car, in which, upon examination, was found, rolled up in some clothing, $1810, in the counterfeit notes on the above mentioned Bank. The bills have evidently been struck from the genuine plate manufactured by persons who have the facilities of the best engravers in the country. The counterfet bills were sent back to Indianapolis to-day. The safest way will be to refuse all the bills of the City Bank of New Haven.—<Madison Courier, May 21st>. ~~~~~~~

IRDIAKAPOLIS,

Hay* 26th, 1853.

Mr. Editor.Indiaoapofia is the place whither the tribes go up," and tbeyare now congregated in great numbers from all parts of the State. The Maaonic Fraternity are holding a convention of some sort,and theTemplara are also in council a procession or two will come pSFto-dayrwith speeches, and other ceremonies usual on such occasions.

The Circuit Court of die United States is in session, Judges McLean and Huntington on the bench a case of importance has been several days in progress in that court, Culbert&on vs. the Wabash Navigation Company. It was tried at a former term when the plaintiff obtained a verdict of some 10,000 dollars anew trial was awarded, which is now pending. I have conversed with the defendants' council only, who express great confidence of success and doubtless the opposing counsel feel equslly sure of victory. Among other persons of distinction in attendance upon this court I notice Gov. Crittenden ofKen tacky.

The Supreme Conrt is in session, no cases of much interest have yet been determined. Puett vs. the State Bank, from Parke, the only case from your region of country yet disposed of, has been decided for the defendent in error, affirming the judgment of the Circuit Court. Yesterday a case of collision between a Steam and Flat Boat was determined in favor of the latter. The point in judgment was, that although the flat boat was not managed as judiciously as it might have been, and was somewhat in fault yet if the officers of the steam boat managed their craft so negligently and carelessly as to sink the flat boat when with prudence and care it might have been avoided, it was liable for the damages. The opinion recognized a principle which might haveaojne bearing in the case 6f Halliday vs. the Terre Haute Draw Bridge Company, viz Thatone who voluntarily throws himself upon an obstruction, though it be unlawful, must suffer ||ie consequences of his own voluntary act.

The Free Democratic Convention was in session yesterday, at Washington Hall, Judge Stevens in the chair. Hon. S. P. Chase of Ohio addressed the Convention last night. He understood his subject well, and built his argument from the foundation up, with great clearness and perspicuity, but with great labor. He is a heavy speaker has littie of the point or vivacity of Julian, to whom he is inferior, and does not readily enlist his audience. Men will not ride after an ox team, however strong, when swift trotters are so common. Nor do I think he made the best use of his materials. He set out with the two great ideas, as he said, of the declaration of 1776, that men were equal by divine ripht, not by concession, compromise, or human authority, which could neither give or take away this immunity, and 2d that the only legitimate object of human government was to secure the full enjoyment of this right. These he denominated progressive principles, then first incorporated into a sys tem of government that in the formation of the constitution the progressive and conservative principles were brought in conflict, of the former of which Mr. Jefferson was the representative, and Mr. Hamilton of the latter This pleased the Democrats. He said that on two points conservatism prevailed over progress,'one, in the establishment of a judiciary for life, and the other, in a slave representation, the latter being in direct con flict with the declaration of 1776. He then told the Democrats that they established the United States Bank, and that did not please them. He said capital and labor were the elements, of the former of which conservatism was the representative, and progress of the latter. That the great interest maintained and supported by 350,000,000 of slave capital, was now intent upon the acquisition of slave territory, and 'hat capital every where sympathized in the same movement while labor was equally intent upon resisting the encroachments of capital. That the compromise was a compact of one party, only it was an agreement of slave capital with other capal, and labor was not represented in the bargain. He denied that these opposing elements had, or could compromise. He said the Democrats were not only not progressive, but ultra conservative. Thatthe Washington Union had recently spoken in high commendation of the despotism of Russia, and defended the knout in the hands of Rus sion despotism as it did the lash in the hands of American. That Young America" might shout itself hoarse with the cry of progress it was all a cheat and false pretence, so long as it coalesced with the slave labor capital of the south,, against the free labor of the north west.

This speaker said many excellent things and I regretted he had not the tact to turn them to some good account.. He is a bad player, and throws away his trumps by taking tricks that count nothing in the game.— He who arrays capita] against labor and labor against capital does no good to any one Of what avail is it to tell the representativea of 350,000,000 of slave capital that they are conservative, and that all men are created equal? If he would affect this interest he must address its pocket* When grave Senators come to instruct us in political econo my, th«»y must give us results that will tell. Take Pennsylvania and Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, Indiana or Illinois snd Missouri for example. These States are of near the same sge respectively and about equal in natural advantages, but how unequal in real prosperity. One such example is worth all the abstractions ever promulgated, in convincing men that they ought to set in progress a system of operations, which will root out the tares by degrees, snd as soon ss it can be done without destroying the wheat.

F0LFH.LIHG a CONTRACT.—Literal compliance with the^ terms of contract is not slwas satisfactory to one of the" high contracting powers." A case in point recently occurred in this city. Hobbs sold Nobs a house, contrsctingto paint it. He gave the interior three coats," snd considered the job done, bat Hobbs insisted that the agreement included the exterior of the house also. Hobbs denrarred, bat on consulting a lawyer, was sdvised that a court would probably decide that it wss so nominated in the bond." He further advised Hobbs, that as no color was specified, be could exercise bis own taste in its selection. Hobbs informed Nobs of his readiness to comply with the contract, and forthwith proceeded to print the boose a dingy black. Nobs remonstrated, butHobbe insisted that black it aboald be, and that the house would look beautifully when varnished. At length at the argent solicitation of Nobs be discontinued his labor, and the contract, as far as outside painting was concerned, was canceled.

The Palm-Tree of Scripturc. The Palm tree is remarkable for loftiness, straightness and productiveness, and hence made an emblem of uprightness, fruitfulness and victory. Its fruit is the date, very sweet and nourishing, and a large portion of the inhabitants of Egypt, AraSia and Persia subsists almost entirely upon it. Camels are fond of the stone. The fruit is of the size of an olive. Palm branches were signals of joy and triumph. The leaves are six or eight feet long and proportionably broad when spread out, and are used to cover houses, and make baskets, coaches, bsgs, fences, hats, &c. From the fibres of the branches are made thread, ropes, rigging, &c. Indeed the natives (says Gibbon) celebrate either in prose or verse, 300 uses to which the trunk, branches., leaves, juice and fruit are applied.

The Palm tree attains maturity in 30years from planting the seed, and continues in full strenght for 70 or 80 years, bearing annually 3 or 400 lbs of dates, and finally dies at about 200 years old. From its sap, palm wine is made, called by the natives Araky. Itis a beverage which easily Intoxicates, and is though by Bishop Lowth to be the strong drink mentioned by Isaiah. From the species of palm tree called Landon, growing wild in various parts of the East, the common Sage is produced.—Jewish Chronicles.

There is nothing, says a good writer,which goes so far towards placing young people beyond the reach of poverty, as economy in the management of their domestic affairs.— It matters not whether a man furnishes little or much for his family, if there is a continual leakage in his kitchen or in the parlor, it runs away he knows not how and that demon Waste cries "More!" like#the horseleach's daughter, until he that provided has no more to give. It is the husband's duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully out of it. A man gets a wifo to look after his affairs, and to assist him in his journey through his life to educate and prepare his children for a proper station in life, and not to dissipate his property. The husband's interest should be his wife's care, and her greatest ambition carry her no further than his welfare or happiness, together with tbst of her children. TOis should be her sole aim, snd the theatre of her exploits in the bosom of her family, where she may do as much towards making a fortune as he can in the counting-roem or the work-shop. It is not the monev earned that makes a man wealthy —it is wbat be saves from his earnings.— Self-gratification in dress, or indulgence in sppetite, or more company than his purse can well entertsin, are equally pernicious. The first adds vanity to extravagance, the second fastens a doctor's bill to along butcher's account, and the latter brings intemperance, the worst of all evils, in its train.—JV. Y. Organ.

The British Government Engaged in the Slave Trade* The last number of the Liberia Herald, received in this country, contains a proclamation from President Roberts of Liberia, indirectly implicating the British Government in the slave trade. It ia stated in the proclamation that Messrs. Hyde, Hodge & Co., of London, contractors with Her Britannic Majesty's Government, to turnish laborers from tbe African coast, for tbe West Indies, have sent some of their ships to the coast of the Republic, offering an advance often dollars for every person who may be induced to emigrate that the extinction of the alave trade has left large numbers of predial and other-laborers in tbe possession of the chiefs and principal men of the country that the offbr of ten dollars each is nearly equivalent to the amount formerly paid for slaves during the prevalence of the slave trade, and which operated mainly in producing and sustaining the wars, by which the country was distracted that certain refractory chiefs are reported to have engaged with the agents of said company, to furnish a number of laborers, and are further known to have in concealment near Grand Cape Mount, a number of the unhappy victims of their predatory excursions and finally complaint has been made to the government that persons are held to be sent off without their voluntary consent, or the consent of their natural guardians. To prevent these sbuses Presidont Roberts declares that the|aw regulating passports must be strictly observed: and that vessels carrying, or intending to carry away e'migrants, must come to Monrovia with their emigrants on board, to obtain passports—in order that an opportunity may be presented to the Government to asc( rain whether the emigration be free or constrained.—Boston Journal.

SPEED OF THE TRAIN.—It is a disputed point how fast the train was going over the bridge at Norwalk when the late disaster occurred—some stating the number at fifteen miles on hour, others at fifty. It is said that the locomotive leaped a distance of sixty feet and struck the abutment on the other side, sixteen feet below the bridge. If this be true, the speed of the engine must have been about forty miles per hour, as a body falls, sixteen feet in the first second of time. The fact is determined by the width of the draw and the distance the engine fell before striking. If these distances can be accurately determined, there can be no difficulty in finding the rate of speed. If the train were going at twenty-five miles an hour, which is the most probable rate of speed, the vertical distance which the locomotive fell before it struck must have been forty feet. ~~~~~~~
