psychologist, investigating with jea
ous care, and drawing conclusions
onlv bv a rigorous induction from
well ascertained facts, then the
world may hope for real self-know
ledge, for at length the study of
mankind will beman.
In the article we have alluded to,
we intimated that the mesmerist and
spiritualist, and we might have ad
ded the phrenologist, were
chology what the astrologers were
to astronomy, and the alchemists to
chemistry—empirics, experimenters, j
But the astrologer and the alchemist
—although they theorized errone
ously and interpreted facts talselj
were on the road to true knowledge,
and to knowledge of an important
kind—so is the” phrenologist, the
mesmerist, and the spirtitualist.
We have had lately a striking con
firmation of this fact in the case of
the mesmerist. The disciples ot the
so-called science of mesmerism have
long taught that one person s eyes
gazing into another’s had the power
to produce sleep. Then it was dis
covered that the sleep might be pro
duced by gazing on an object, such
as a piece of money, that had been
mesmerized by a Next
it was found that the piece of money
need not be magnetized to cause it
to produce the effect, and even that
quietly gazing at a spot on the wall
would* lead to a similar result. But
this was not all —the sleep thus pro- i
duced had in it, as was asserted, a
strange peculiarity; the sleeper was
ina state of absolute unconscious
ness; his bodily organs had, for the
time, many of their functions sus
pended. Among other things, the
nerves no longer conveyed sensa
tions of pleasure or pain, and the
most severe surgical operations
might be performed without pain
ing, or even awakening the subject
of a happy oblivion. These facts
were and are loudly asserted and ex
tensively disbelieved. If they are
facts how can they be discredited ■
We have no doubt of a person’s in
ability to read, write, or converse,
when in a deep sleep. AN hy should
we doubt that sleep might become so
deep that the individual might be
unable to feel, especially as we have
the evidence of somnambulism, sleep
walking, to prove to us that there
exist peculiarities not existing in or
dinary sleep? Evidently the world
doubted because the fact often as
serted was rarely shown, if shown
at all.
When the surgeon says he can
produce unconsciousness by admin
istering chloroform, and take out
teeth or amputate a limb—the sut
ferer Wing unconscious of pair—lie
proves the assertion at will, by giv
ing the drug, and performing the
operation. The mesmerist claims to
have done thesame thing—how then
does the physician obtain credence
while the mesmerist is laughed at
It will not do to attribute the in
credulity to the prejudice against
anything new, for mesmerism is very
much older than chloroform. There
is no doubt, however, that as the
alchemist had truth in his vagaries,
and the astrologer in his supersti
tion, so has the mesmerist in his
empircism. One of the greatest ot
living French physicians, Monsieur
Velpeau, has communicated to socie
ty the fact that gazing at a bright
object will send a person to sleep,
and that during the sleep painless
operations may be performed. Even
he, however, did not exhibit the fact,
but asserted it, and asserted it as it
it had been hitherto quite unknown.
We have in this alleged power of pro
ducing sleep, and sleep of so peculiar
a character, a fact quite new in hu
man nature, one that proves how ig
norant we have remained of man,
while we hrve Wen investigating
the motions of the stars, and peering
into the open Polar sea.
Even now, spite of Dr. Velpeau,
how ignorant we are, writer and
reader alike, of the alleged fact. If
we ask ourself, can I he put asleep
by gazing on a pen knife blade or a
half dime; and may a tooth be drawn,
or an arm W taken off while I am in
that state, without me perceiving it ?
we are totally unable to answer the
question either in the negative or
the affirmative.
Are we not right, then, when we
assert that the proper study of man
kind has scarcely yet been commenc
ed—that we know less of ourselves
than we do of the planetary system ?
In the so called mesmerism, which
appears to be a mere natural pheno
mena, strange only from being little
known, we see one instance ot man
kind’s little knowledge ot man. If
we turn our attention to sleep,dream
ing, apparitions, and
the so-called spiritual phenomena, we
shall probably find further proofs ot
our woeful deficiency of self-knowl
edge. At a future time we may pur
sue the inquiry into the fantastic
and mysterious regions of sleep and
death. —Memphis Appeal.

Arms for the South. —The New York
correspondent of the Montgomery “Mail,”
writes:
A contract has ben completed with the
Welch Fire-arms Company, by some South
ern gentlemen duly authorized by their State
government, and who have given ample and
satisfactory security, for a supply of six thous
and of the new twelve shooters manufactur
ed by that Company. Considering the pres
ent relations between the North and the
South, it is not astonishing that this fact has
increased the uneasiness before felt in quiet,
conservative circles.
The Company is understood to be about
to start a manuftetory in \ irginia, for the
•purpose of filling this order and others which
they expect to receive from various parts of
the South. The Welch Firearms Company
have lately brought the manufacture oil fire
arms to a degree of perfection that lias al
ready excited the attention of European gov
ernments. Their new twelve-shooter, for a
supply of which negotiation* are now pend
ing between the Company and a foreign
government, is, beyond all question, the
most destructive fin arm ever invented. It
weighs eight ounces less than Colt's navy
revolver, carries twice the number of balls,
and has a longer range. *
Nothin* is more odious than the
face that smiles abroad, but flashes
fury amid the caresses of a tender
wile and children.
From the Chrotvcle & Sentinel, 31st ul V-
To which Parly belongs the Kr
*loiiil>ility of not lAerting a
*|M •aker!
Mr- Editor:—The above question is an
important one. It is right. It is proper the
peopled the South and country should know
why a Speaker ot the House at Washing
ten has not been elected. Who? Which
party has detested, and is daily defeating an
organization of the House of Representa
tives by the aon-election of a Speaker ? I
state, aud charge, without the fear of author’
ative contradiction, that the Democratic par
ty is the House, is alone responsible for the
non-organization of that bouy—the non elec
tion of a Speaker.
I do not make the charge alone—but I in -
tend to prove it The members of the Dem
ocratic parly in the House say “ their great
object is to defeat the election of the B!a< k
Republican candidate (Mr. Sherman) for
Speaker.” If they desired and honestly aim
ed to defeat the election of Mr. Sherman,
why did they not use the means in their
power to effect that result ? That the Dem
ocratic party in the House could, had they
chosen, on the 16th day of December, have
elected Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina, Speak
er. there is no doubt; for on the 16th day
ot December, there was a ballot for Speaker,
in which were cast two hundred and twenty
seven votes; one hundred and fourteen
were necessary to elect. Mr. Gilmer, of
North Carolina, received thirty-six, and Bo
cock, of Virginia, eighty six votes of the two
hundred and twenty-seven votes cast. Nov,
add the thirty-six votes cast for Mr. Gilmer
and the eighty-six votes cast for Mr. Bocock
together, and you have one hundred arid
twenty-two votes, against the election of Mr.
Sherman. Here, Mr. Editor, were the means
the Democratic members in the House had
at their disposal to use if they would to car
ry out their professed desire, to wit: the de
| feat of Mr. Sherman for Speaker. Yet they
did not choose to use the available means to
, accomplish the deleat of the Black Republi
can candidate for Speaker—aud why ? Mr.
Barksdale, of Mississippi, the representative
and reflector of Democratic members ami
[ Democratic opinion in the House, says, “ he
i did not doubt Mr. Gilmers loyality to the
Soutit.” Then, why did you not elect Mr.
Gilmer? You say, Mr. Barkesdale, ‘•■he is
true and devoted to the South,” and you teil
the people, ami projtss “your great object to
be o deleat the election of Mr. Sherman or
any other Black Republican Speaker,” and
yet you refused to elect a “loyal son of the
South Speaker, and that, too, at the r.sk of
seerng a Black Republican Speaker. Is it
possible this great Democratic party, this
par excellence party, is indifferent between
the election of Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Sheiman
—indifferent to “their great” and professed
“object,” namely, “To defeat the election of
the Black Republican candidate (Mr. Sher
man) for Speaker.”
Mr. Barksdale says he cannot vote for Mr.
Gilmer because of “his political conduct.”—
What “conduct?” Was it because he pros
ecuted abolitionists, and drove them out of
North Carol na? Was it because he oppos
ed Democratic Territorial policy? Is it be
cause he this day stands opposed to Demo
cratic deception, corruption and policy, or is
it because u he is true to the South /”
Again, on the 9ih day of January ISCO, a
ballot was had. Two hundred and nineteen
votes wore cast. It required one hundred
and ten votes to elect a Speaker. Mr. Ham
ilton. of Texas, received eighty-eight, and
Mr. Gilmer twenty-two of the two huudred
and nineteen votes, and Mr. Stokts one.—
Now add Mr. Hamilton’s 88 and Mr. Gil
mer's 22 votes together, and you have one
hundred and ten votes—enough to have
made Mr. Gilmer Speaker—and carried out
‘‘the great object and desire to defeat the elec
tion of Mr. Sherman as Speaker.”
My democratic readers must not feel hurt
with me for quoting so often the expression
“their great object is to defeat the election
of a Black Republican Speaker,” for the
Democratic members in Congress announced
“their great object is to defeat the electiou
of a Black Republican Speaker.” My ob
ject for quoting the above expression is to
show the people how the Democratic lead
ers profess and act. They say their great
object is to defeat Mr. Sherman. Do you
believe it ? How can you believe it ? They
profess one thing and act out a different re
sult. They declare their intention is “to de
feat Mr. Sherman's election, and at the same
time vote so as to prevent the election of a
“loyal” son of the South, Mr. Giimer of
Worth Carolina. If a man, or a set of men,
desire a thing to happen, he, or they, as sen
sible beings, will use all the means that will
bring the thing out as they have said they
| wished it to be. Have the Democratic
members in the House acted up to that just
and sensible rule ? They laid down the rule
t’uemselvi s by which they said they intended
| to square their action in the election of Speak •
1 tr. Have they acted by and up to that
rule? No! far from it. They never wish
i ed what they expressed : “ that the great
object was to deleat the election of Mr. Slier
i man.” If they had they would have voted
for any “loyal” Southern man for Speaker.
Mind you, they don’t say their object, but
“their great object is to defeat the eketion
of a Black Republican Speaker.”
They can at any moment do what they
say they wish. How ? by voting for Mr.
Giimer, and defeating the election of Mr.
Sherman — thereby accomplishing “ their
great object.” I think I have shown where
tne responsibility rests for the non-clrction
of a Speaker. I have shown the Democrats
could, at two distinct periods of tin e, have
elected a l true and devoted Southern man
Speaker and they would not. I have shown
that Democratic profession and action are
j two distinct and opposite things. Now,
| wnat is the conclusion of the whole matter ?
Why, simply this—if we judge the Demo
crats by their votes they wish to see Sher
man elected. If we judge them by their
’ professions they wish to see Sherman de
feated. • MADISON.

When an impudent fellow attempts
to kiss a Tennessee girl, she “cuts your
acquaintance;” all their “divine luxuries
are preserved for the la 1 of their own
choice.” When you kiss an Arkansas
girl, she hopes as high as a cork out ot
a champaigne bottle, and cries. “ W hew,
how good !” Catch an Illinois girl and
kiss her, and she’ll say, “Quit it now,
you know I'll telhnmn ma!” A kiss
from the girls of old \\ iliiatnson is a
tribute pa:d to their beauty, taste and
amiability. It is not accepted, how
ever, until the gallant youth who offers
it is i.c_*epted as the lord of their hearts’
affections and firmly united with one,
his cho-en love, ber.ea.h the same bright

Kiss a Georgia girl, she will jump,

that you can’t do that again.” If you
kiss a Mississippian girl she’ll flare up
like a scorched feather, and return the

or may-be giving the quid pro quo in the
shape of a blunder buss. Baltimore
girls, more beautiful than any in the
world, all meet with a half smiling, half
saucy, come kiss me-if-you-dare kind of
a look, but you must be careful of the
first essay ; after that, no difficulty will
arise, unless you he caught attempting

An Abolitionist sees Viroina
ami Changes ms Sentiments. —Mr.
Joshua Coppic, a quaker gentleman
of Butler township, in th?S country,
has always been a warm abolitionist.
Jle is an uncle of Edward Coppic, and
went on to Virginia for the purpose
of bringing home the remains of
bis nephew for interment. On his
way home he was detained at Wells
ville fora couple of hours, and there
had a conversation with D. T. Law
son, in which he said : “I come home
a converted man. The Virginians are
as kindhearted and Christian a peo
ple as 1 ever was among. Our anti
slavery agitation at the North is all
wrong. 1 am satisfied it lias put
1 hack the cause of the slave, and I am
going home to do what lean to put
it down, and I hope thee will do the
same. I am satisfied all Virginia
wants is Christian treatment, and at
the proper time she will do more for
the slave than we ever can.” Mr.
Coppic never before had opened his
eyes to the disastrous consequences
of Northern fanaticism, hut now
having learned them, like an honest
man, he will endeavor to put down
agitation. There arc a great many
people of the same class, and when
they get fairly to understand where
they are drifting, they will cut loose
frointhe rampant abolitionist*,and set
to work to create a tone of healthy

A Bi.amed Long Table—“Dont’t
You Observe l’ —James 1* , or cs
be is fin.iliary known among his host of
friends. Jim, is moreover generous, roble
hearted, and possessed of more, genuine
courage than usually falls to the lot of
man. The following is his relation of a
night's adventure:
One morning we met him in the street,
looking rather melancholy, when he
said :
Yesterday I felt a little bad, and, mark
you, 1 went and took a small drink ; and
that not improving my feeling, I took
another and another, don’t you observe,
and fit ally 1 got a little tight. In the
evening 1 went into the country with a
friend, mark you, and thinking I would
Ci>ol off. I took several more drinks when
1 got there, don’t you observe; yet,
strange to say, the more I drank the
tighter I got, until I went to bed. Dur
ing the night I awoke, don’t you obser
ve, and 1 couldn’t imagine where the
mischief I was. mirk you. The room
was as dark as Egypt. 1 heard the clock
strike two in some part of the house,
mark you. I became very anxious to
learn my whereabouts, Joti’t you obser
ve, and fi r that purpose arose from my
bed, mark you, and after stumbling over
about a dozen chairs, don’t you observe,
1 came to a table.
Now, mark you, I reflected that the
generality of apartments are a perfect or
an oblong square, don’t you observe,
and, moreover, that the generality of
tables are square; and I deducted from
this, mark you, that by feeling along tin*
table until 1 came to a corner, 1 could
get off at right angles and reach a cor
ner of the room, aud by that guide by
the wall to a door or window, don’t you
observe. Following out this idea, mark
you, I began carefully to feel along the
edge of the aforesaid table, and finally
gained con fid nice, 1 went a little farther;
ihe idea stiuck me that it was a blamed
long table, that I could not get to a cor
ner, don’t you observe ; yet 1 persevered,
and finally day broke, atid when suffici
ent light penetrated the apartment I saw,
mark ycu, that 1 had been following a
blamed round table all night, looking
for a corner, don’t you observe.

Letter from Mr. Cuyler.
The Telegraph, the organ of the Cen
tral Rulroad interest in this city, contains
in its issue of yesterday, a letter from R.
li. Cuyler, Esq., the Fresidc.it of that
road in which he essays to enlighten the
people of Macon, upon the subject of the
contemplated road from this place to Au
gust, and to show by “some indisputable
facts,” that it is not the interest of Macon,
to lavcr or aid the building of that road,
One of theje “indisputable fitets” is the as
sertion that the people of Macon in aiding
to build a road'to Augusta, would be bind
ing themselves to the ungracious task of
building up Augusta , at the expense of Ma
con ! Indeed, Mr. Cuyler, in his late ad
dress to the people of Augusta, if we remem
ber aright—labored to show that a road to
this city could not possibly benefit them.—
Now, he tells the people oi Macon, through
his local organ, that it will build up Augus
ta at the expense of Macon. Why is it, that
Mr. Cuyler holds such different language to
the people of Augusta and Macon, upon the
subject of this road? The reason is plain.
He wishes to prejudice both cities against
it and di feat it s building, if he possibly can,
and he uses toward each, the language and
the argument which he thinks will aecom
plish h’3 object. He will fail here, as he
has in Augusta. Jits interest is not our inter
est, and his opinion will not control our ac
tion. He may argue with us, as he has con
descended to do in the Telegraph,or threat
en us with a road running around us from
Ecbaconnee to Toombsboro, and as he lias
done in the Augusta f Constitutionalist, but
we want competition with the grasping ma
nopoly over j which he presides, and which
he has always conducted without the slight
est reference to our wishes or our interests,
and we will not listen to his arguments, or
dread his threats. We have no space or
time for any but this short reference to the
Macon pronunciamento of our Railroad King.
L ill not someone of our citizens, who is in
terested in the road to Augusta, give it a
proper criticism, and disabuse Mr. Cuyler
of the impiession under which he seems
to labor, that he can and must do the
thinking of Macon, in all matters connect
ed with tailroads.

ed Speaker of the House of Congress, is not
so black a Republican as Sherman and oth
ers of the same school, though supported and
elected by Black Republicans and Anti-Le
compton Democrats ! Well, we are thank
ful for small favors, but do not congratulate
ourselves or our readers, that the South is
much better off, in the election of Penning
ton, than it would have been if Sherman had
been chosenJSpeaker The fact of Forney, a
Douglass Democrat having since been elect
ed Clerk of the House, does not increase our
hopes of any special advantage to the coun
try arising from the defeat of Sherman.
1 I llOOiisisttriit.—fThe Atlanta Confed
eracy bus hoisted the name of A. 11. Ste
phens for the Presidency and denounces
Howell Cobb as unfit for the same Office,
because of his supposed Squatter Sovereign
principles. If our memory has not failed
us, its champion is in precisely the same
category as that in which the Confederacy
places Cobb. We think they are in the
same bout, and ought to float or sink togelh-
Tlie “ Harmonious.”—There is a
I considerable uneasiness,just now, among the
Democracy, about their representation in
the Charleston Convention. The State Con
vention of the party, at Milledgeville, in
December last, did not give satisfaction to
the rank and file, because of its alledged
Cobb proclivities. The Delegates selected
are said to be Cobb men and the whole af
fair to have been a Cobb scheme ! Whereat
the fire-eaters of the. party have rebelled,
and another Convention is to be held, in
March, to revise the proceedings, and, it
possible, annul the action of the first. So,
look out for one grand row—two sets of Del
gates to Charleston and a big fuss, general
ly, in the Democratic Wigwam!

more Corn.—From nil c
---counts the next wheat crop of Cherokee,
j Ga , and Tennessee, will prove a failure.—
Hence the necessity for the planters of Geor
gia to plant more corn than usual, to keep
the wolf, famine., from the door, next au
tumn. The following are the latest advices
from the growing crop of wheat, and such
is the general tenor of the news, on this sub
ject, from every quarter :
• Thk Wheat Chop.—ln Bedford county,
farmers assure us, not more than a half crop
will be made, if that. Some fields are en
tirely barren, owing to the heavy freezes.—
Shclbyviiu Term. Expositor.
Wheat. —Many fields that were believed
to have been entirely desroyed by the severe
cold weather are begining to show some signs
of life and promise.— Athens {Venn.) Post.
Wheat. —This crop promises to be very
spotted. Some crops are yery much thinned
bv the cold ; others seem not to he injured,
while a few are almost entirely killed. The
wheat sown in the dry seuson, some days be
fore the rain set in, has suffered most. In
consequence of the uncertain prospect, the
price of flour is extremely high.— Madison i

A Scientific Definition of Blush
es!
A writer in the Amercan Medical Gazet
te thus furnishes the reason why young
ladies blush when spoken to about their ‘
lovers : “Toe mind communicates with the
central ganglion; the latter, by r*ffl-x action
through the brain and facial nerve, to the
organic nerves in the face, with which its
branches inoculate.”
See what it. is to have “laming.” We
always thought that a girl's blushes were
owing to the blood rushing from the heart
to the face!

A Kentuckian Ist an Easy Fix.
Col. II returning from his northern
tour, encountered on his way to Cirtein
natti,*a large number of Quakers, of both
sexes returning from an anti-slavery cel
ebration at Cleveland, Ohio. As the
cars moved on, the Colonel became en
gaged in conversation with one of the
Friends, and in its course, the subject of
slavery naturally arose. The con versa
tion increased in warmth and interest,
and enlisted the attention of eveiy one
present —the Quakers asserting their ut
ter horror of slavery, and the Southern
er maintaining, with equal feeling, its
justice and humanity. Stopping, finally
at a way station, anew passenger enter
ed—a large, tine looking mulatto wo
man, holding a baby in her arms. Look
ing around to find a seat, and observing
one of the few vacant occupied in part
by Col. If., she proceeded to seat her
self. The Colonel with characteristic
courtesy, made room for the ample dis
play of crinoline. A few moments had
elapsed, when the dark-skinned Venus
turned suddenly to the Colonel, and in
quired :
“Mister, did you see ary yal'er trunk
{nit aboard this train ? ’
‘\Seli, really, madam,’ rejoined the
Kentuckian, ‘there are so many yellow
trunks that I am unable to say whether
the one which you allude to was put
aboard or not.’
This did not suffice our heroine. In a
moment or two—the Colonel having de
clined an invitation to go out and look
up h-r yaller trunk—>he arose sudden
ly, and extending the infant African in
her arms in the direction of our friend,
exclaimed :
‘Misier, will you hold this ’ere baby
while I go arid see after that ’ere trunk
of mine V
’The Colonel, asuring her willr ineffa
ble grace and dignity, that he would be
only too happy to oblige her, proceeded
to dandle in his arms the sooty offspring
of my lady. By this time mirth pervad
ed every countenance, and an effectual
effort to suppress a general titter told of
the amusement the picture afforded. —
I Moments fled—the \\ histle sounded—but
! Venus did not make her appearance. —
xMatters seemed coming t* a crisis.
At la-t one of the venerable broad
rims, inspired by a benevolent compre
hension of the burden the Kentuckian’s
politeness seemed to entail upon him,
and, perhaps, not unwilling to add to the
slightly malicious and excusable n em
inent of his anti-Southern associates,
crept up to the seat occupied by the sub
ject ol this aneclote, and w hispered in a
1 ton** audible to all :
‘Friend, art thou not afraid she will
leave it with thee?’
‘Leave it with me,dear sir?’ rejoined
I Colonel II , turning around, so that he
could be distinctly heard by all present,
and dropping his voice to a loud whis
per : ‘Why, that is just what I should
like. It’s worth a hundred dollars in
Kentucky !’
The few Southerners present shouted
w ith laughter, and the discomfiture of
the disciples of brotherly love and sly
fun was highly amusing.
They Killed Him. — A fellow was
once telling of his wonderful adventures
with the Indians. lie had enc -untered
and fought them in every possible way
1 and shape. Imagining that his listeners
were all trembling at his narrow escape,
he concluded to give them a settler, arid
so commenced as follows:
‘One evening 1 ite I was agoin’ up a
steep holler. Well, it was a perfect
cliff on each side, straight up and down
over twahundred feet. As 1 war agoin’
along 1 looked back, and thar I sees
moru’n a hundred Injins, a slippin along
I after me. Thar’s no chiir.ee to run out
mi one side, for the rocks war so steep
and high, so I jist commenced paddlin it
!up the holler. They hooked it right up
inter me, and we run mor’n five miles.—
At last I cum to the end of the holler
right up agin another high rock, and they
i had mo hemmed in. I found there was
: no chance to getaway, so I set to and
shot two of ’em, aud— ’
Here the narrator paused to think, as
if lie had forgotten some part of his ad
venture. Ilis eager listeners a-k him
how ho came. out.
‘Well,’ he continued, ‘I set to and
shot two of’em, and the rpst al! ••••me
running’ at me a yellin’ and a screamin’
like devil-*, and—
Here followed another pause.
‘What did they do?’ asked one who
had become much interested.
‘Well, sir, they jist cum a sweepin up
like varmints, a makin’ the very ground
ring w ith their yells—and —’
‘But what did they do?’
Si e ng he had got his story somewhat
tangled up, he exclaimed petti>hly:
‘They all ru>hed on me and killed me
of course —what in the h—ll else do you
think they could do !
Taking it Hard.—Mr. Etheridge,
of Tenn., in describing the condition
of the Democrats of the House, when
compelled to vote for Mr. Smith,
Whig, says,“They sweat great drops
of blood. If an artist had desired to
have an original subject, he could
havo found it iu this scene of human ,
agony.”
Taking down their Signs!
“Discontinuing to advertise, says the Philadel
phia Bull tin. is like taking down one's own sign. It
is a sort of intimation of retirement from business,
and the pnblie treat it as such. Or they may regard
it ns evidence that someting has gone wrong, which
requires privacy for investigation. Whatever con
struction may lie gut upon it, the result is disastrous.'’
Several old Fogv business men of Macon have
gone and done the very thing that the “Bulletin” so
graphically expresses. They have taken down their
signs which they have hitherto l>een accustomed to
display through the columns of the Citizen! Thev
have retired from the large business which \ as
brought them by such display of their “signs.” as
well as front tiie custom of one considerable family—
that of the editor. Os course we e m't a f Ford to pat
ronize any establishment that ‘-retires it* stock' 1 in
our Advertising Institution, nor would we do so, i
wo could. “Help those who help you” is our motto
and this is also the principle of reciprocity which
should govern every fair dealer.
Miss Custis, afterwards Mrs. Law,
(she having married Mr. Law, the
brother, of Lord Ellenborough,)
Washington's grand daughter, on a
a visit to Mrs. after the
death of Washington, said to Mrs
Stuart, that she was with the Gen
eral during his sittings for his por
trait by her husband, and that sit the
last sitting site was asked to examine
the picture carefully, and to say
whether she could see anything
which required alteration. At her
request the General seated himself
at the side of the picture, and Miss
Custis said it seemed like a reflection
in a looking-glass. General Wash
ington was then asked what he
thought of it, and he replied, ‘lt looks
like a man I see when 1 shave.’

Fed. Union, Till.
Kon-Payer* ol Newspapers.
Why not pay up at once for your
newspapers? “Oh ! lean t possibly
spare the money now ! I have a bank
note to pay* —my merchant’s bill to
pay—my tax bill to pay —my meat
and corn bills to pay—and then
there’s my* school hills, besides many
other claims pressing on me, I don’t
know what 1 shall do; don’t talk to
me about newspaper bills, it’s really
too provoking, when a man’s pushed
to his wit’s end to pay* his debts, to
he bothered with newspaper duns—
Yes it is to hard—l must stop all
these papers, I don’t see that they
do any* good, and here this fellow has
been sending me bis for ten years,
and during the time he has written
two, or-more letters to me about
paving for it. and still continues to
dun me for his*nioney*, just as il l
cared anything about his paper.” —
That’s the wav to talk, reader, don’t
you think so ? Such moralizers grow
eloquent sometimes, and if they*
could not let the qas off on poor ed
itors and newspaper-publishers they
would ‘hurst up.” Do not editors
have to pay all the above named bills
and many* others? Would your mer
chants and others have credited you,
if thev bad known beforehand that
you would have kept them out of
their money* *2, 3,4, 5,0, 7,8, !), and
10 years? No, not one of them. Is
not the newspaper hill as really a
debt, as that of the merchant, school
teacher, or any other? Reader.
stop|! pause! think! consider! Oh!
that you wore wise, that you under
stood this, that editors, and printers
can no more live off of the air, work
for nothing and find themselves,than
other living, laboring mortalities.—
Do pray consider this, and do your
duty at once ! Resolve to pay* for
your paper, and to pay now, —yes,
now after a lapse of one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
and even ten years, don’t for con
science sake, for your own self res
pect sake, for your soul’s sake, snd
for the sake of the oppressed editor,
don't keep him out of his pay any
longer. It is a debt you owe, a just
debt duo—a debt hard earned, and a
debt if not paid, will haunt yoit on
vour death bed, if not beyond the
Jordan of death. This is true as the
Revelations of Saint John, for there
it stands written —He that is unjust,
Let him he unjust still. Then, to
heaven he can never go. Deny this,
and you are an Infidel. —Christian
Banner.
T?io Black Republican Tri
umph.
The Washington States, in an nrlicle on
the election of Pennington to the Speaker
! ship, says:
i Ir is now pretty cl-ar to our minds that
l the House orginizition throughout is to be
completely sectional—cleik, printer.sergeani
at-arms, and doorkeeper, all chosen frrm
that division of the Union which dec’ared
the “ irrepr* ssiMe ctitifl ct” war. If thi
-.hall oe uj it will fie the first time in the
historv <>f ihe government that the popular
! branch of national representation was so or
ganized. In that event the “irrepress file
confl'ct” will be virtually consummated in
that body. Can power surrendered to the
powerful ever be regained with the assent
of its recipient ? The day, we fear, is far
i distant, when the voice of die South will be
; rtxain heard in the organization of the
I House. .
We see enough to satisfy us that, as con
trasted with the North, her strength in that
body has departed forever. The submission
i*ts within her own embraces hare hastened
this lamentable state nf affairs. They may be
properly denominated the Union at any price
politicians. They invite aggressive spirits to
the perpetration of acts of aggession, and thus
prepare the way for their own vassalage.
It must be confessed that the condition of
the South is anything but assuring to her
citizens at the present period. We can per
ceive nothing encouraging for her political
security looming up either in the near or
distant future.
It has been well said of the home
of the scolding wife, that “It’s a bad
house where the hen crows louder
than the cock.”
