Our neighbor of the Southerner ntani- fested much disappointment that after "reading from top to bottom the mor- tal column we deroted to him” he was not able to “find somethingon which to build a leader for last week.” We ten der him our sympathy, and assure him that upon looking over hi* papor we were fhlly prepared to appreciate his la* montable situation. When wu knock ed the props from under him it was our intention tbiedvd Ho foundation on which he could build,buthad weknown at that time, as we might have done by a little reflection, that ho would have been reduced to such an extremity we perhaps, out of regard for him, would not have made such a clean sweep of it. It was not necessary for him to have informed his readers of his predicament for when he left off argument and de scended to ridicule they doubtless well understood it. Ridicule is not argu ment, and proves nothing more than that he who resorts to it in a controver sy either mistrusts his ability to advo cate a good cause, or has not the mag. uanimity to confess he has espoused bad one. The Southerner first attempted to fas ten the responsibility of the unorganis ed state of the House upon the South Americans. When we called upon him to inform us when they ever had it in their power to elect any one but a Black Republican, he declines to answer, but tacitly admits that they were never able to do so, by abandoning this position and charging one of the largest. Blave holders from the South with being un sound. And this is his reason for the failure of the Democrats to eloct a con stitutional man when they could liavo done so. In reply to this we cite the Southerner to the vote in the House the 27th inst. Then all the Southern Democrats voted for the candidate of the South Americans. Then they seem ed to think they were sound enough for them to affiliate with. In answer to our question "how can a speaker be elected without Republican votes?” the Southerner answers as weox- pected, and says by the aid of anti-Le compton Democrats. We said before they were no better than Block Repub licans, and we will bring Democratic testimony to sustain us. Senator Clay of Alabama in bis letter to members of he Legislature of his State, which we quoted from once before, says: “There are but seven Senators, and thirty-one Representatives from those (Northern) States, who call themselves Democrats; and of these, eight anti- Lecompton Democrats do not vote with the South, and three anti-Lecompton Democrats vote for Shcnnan. These three Democrats and all the Black Re publicans have been striving, from 5th of December last, to dishonor and de grade the South, by putting in tho Spea ker's chair, an endorser of Helper’s or Heifer's book, thereby evincing their approval of murder, arson, servile or civil war, anything to abolish an insti tution which is not only tho basis of her wealth, but tho condition of her Bocial and political existence.” And upon such men as those the Southerner relies for help—these are the men with whom Democrats prefer to affiliate rathor than Southern mem. berg. As long as you have such men bearing your name and wearing your badge, and to whom you look with eager eyes, and upon whom you call with im. ploring voice for help, it is not very becoming, to use an exceedingly mild term, to refuse to elect a Southern man because a few of the moro moderate Republicans voted for him. [COUHUNICATSD.] ••Owe no Han Anything-’’ The Cash System is Best for Mer- ' * chant and Customer. Mxssrs. Editors:—With your permis sion; we take this occasion to set forth to Our friends and patrons afew reasons why we ought to be encouraged in our recently adopted system, Cash. We be lieve it is best for both Merchant and Customer. If wo go to market with the Cosh, We ore independent, and can buy goods when we please and where we can find the best goods at the lowest prices—we take advantages of the mar ket and buy for Cash at very reduood prices ahd divide the profits with the Customer. Tho Customer i.s under no obligation to buy because ot an unpaid dobt, whether it is to his interest or not, but the Merchant and Customer eland in equal groutul. Again—The Cash System makes no bad debts, it is the good solvent customers, who pay the Merchant for what he loses by them who don't pay. Trade is like the fluid in a spirit level—it will equal ize itself—and competition compels Merchants to soli as low as they can af ford to, and if they can afford to sell at 25 per cent] and loso 10 per cent for bad debts and Lawyer's fees, then of course they can sell at 15 percent when no bod debts ore made. By the Credit System, bad debts have always been made and always will be made, and bax.s and attachments, and Bills of Injunction and Lawyer’s fees and Court costs and Livery bills and trouble with trust estates and administrators and Guardians create a heavy sinking fund in every crodit house, and the loss is paid by the prompt paying solvent customers. Again—Tho credit system, must cm- Fugitive Slave from Harper’s Ferry at Auburn. A fugitive slave from Harper’s Ferry came into Auburn yesterday, on his way to Canada. Whilo walking about ho strolled into ono of our restaurants, and there, to his suprise, he saw quietly eat ing oysters, a United State Marshal from Harper’s Ferry. The marshal, on seeing tho fugitive, arose, and patting him on the shoulder, called him by name, and asked him what he was do ing in Auburn. The negro made nn in- coherent reply, when the marshal im mediately left. The negro went into the street, and saw the marshal, in com pany with two others, rapidly approach ing the restaurant. The negro imme diately took to his heels, but the mar shal failed to pursue him, probably not wishing to attract attention. The mar shal lived within three doors of the fugi tive at Harper’s Ferry, and was perfect ly well known to the latter. Whether the marshall was in pursuit of the fug!' live, or engaged in summoning witness es for the Senate investigation commit tee, and met the fugitive by merest chance, is unknown. The marshal and his men have not been seen since yester day in Auburn. Tho fugitive, it is un derstood, was the slave who guided John Brown into the arsenal at ilurp er’s f erry. Tho affair has created con sideaable excitement among several prominent abolitionists of the city, who were made familiar with the ctrcuni stances.—Auburn (X.Y.) Adv.

The North has reduced (he South to vas salage, by landing all the produce and imports of the country. If we could get that busi ness out of her hands, she would shrivel D’Israell. Mr. Disraeli affords an instance of the power of industry and application in working out an eminent public career. His first achievements wore in litera ture, and he reached success only through a succession of failures. His “Wondrous Tale of Alrov” ami “Revo lutionary Epic” were laughed at, slid regardod os indications of literary luna cy. But ho worked on in other direc tions. and hid “Coninesby,” “Sybil," and "Tancrod” proved the sterling stuff of which lie was made. As an orator, too, his first appearance in the House of Commons was a failure. It was spo- ;en of as “more screaming than nn Adelphi farce." Though composed in grand and ambitious strain; every sen tence was hailed with “loud lnnghter.” Hamlet” played ns a comedy were nothing to it. But he concluded with a sentence which embodied a prophecy. Writhing undor the laughter with which his studied eloquence had been receiv ed, he exclaimed, “1 liavo begun sever al times many things,and have succeed ed in them ut lost. 1 shall sit down now, but tho time will come when yen will hear me.” Tho time did coine; and how Disraoli succeeded in ut length commanding tho rapt attention of the first assembly of gentlemen in the world, affords a striking illustration of what energy and determination will do; for Disraeli earned his position by dint of patient industry.t-Self Help. Legislating on Yonng Girl* Bights. The following rather singular project hosjustbecn presented to the Chamber of Nobles of the Swedish diet. Baron Creutz proposed that., from the age of fifteen, young girls should be allowed to answer of their own accord, yes or no, to any Rtiitor for their hand. M. Mont gomery opposed tho project, declaring that at the age of fifteen, love, though strong, was too blind, and that the age of twenty-five was indispensable to lie able to see dearly on so important a question. Baron Alstroeme.r treated such an objection as madness, and pro posed to the Chamber to decide who was in the right, Baron Creutz or the Apos tle Paul. The Baron replied that the words of the Apostle applied to pater nal authority, which was very severe among the Jews and the Romans, and could not now be invoked when man ners and customs had so much changed. Baron Alstroemer said that if the cham ber were to adopt tho project Mormon- ism would become general. Baron Creutz replied warmly that it was ridic ulous to talk of mormonism, that his project was a serious one, and calculat ed to have a salutary effect on milliners ami ideas'. The project was referred to a committee. FINE HOUSES For Sale. CAIIEY A- MINOR, S AVE n frw Fine Homs for anlo at rea sonable prices. The Horses lire youngs w mIzo anil good qualities.
