Beards as Conducive to Health.
The N. Y. Tribune, of a recent date, con
tains a very sensible article on Beards, from
which we propose to extract a few of its lead
ing thoughts. It is a short time since N. P.
Willis, in writing of English Society, said “a
moustache and an adventurer are convertible
terms.’’ A change, however, has come over the
English in this respect, as well as over the peo
ple of this country. The appearance of a large
number of refugee revolutionists in London,
just after the revolution of 1848, all of whom
cultivated the Beard in some shape or other*
contributed no little to the accomplishment of
the change. The reform was first begun by
the Railway employees, who, constantly exposed
to the exaggerated winds of forty miles an hour
were extremely liable to take cold, with
out the natural covering of the face. Others in
the same trade followed, and in a little time, it
was conceded that a railway man might wear
a beard consistently with his health and com
fort. But this was only a beginning; the ice
was broken. An Englishman—not an old
clo’man—could be found with beard. Wonder
ous innovation upon customary and conserva
tive John. •
The hirsute reform is attracting the attention
of the Britsli press. The question, indeed, of
beards in England has arisen to the dignity of
a movement. There is a positive stir about it,
says the Tribune. The masons have joined the
railway guards in the adoption of beards ; and
the papers are discussing ihe extension of the
new idea. A London physician asserts that
the national malady, consumption, may be war
ded off by wearing beards. The Tribune adds:
As for America, the beard question is rapidly
becoming more national. What with the par
tial habit of wearing the beard, engendered by
the Mexican War, California Emigrants, and
the hundreds of thousands of.Germans who
stick to it has ceased to be a novelty. In this
country of spare visages and throats it may be
particularly commended as the best preventive
against the tooth ache and bronchitis. On this
head we wish to be understood as perfectly se
rious. There is no question that to the majori
ty of men iu this couutrj’ the beard is a great
promoter of health and comfort during our in
clement winters, and those who have once tried
it, are not disposed to again submit to tho razor
—or to undergo the pains and discomforts of de
nuding their chins of the covering nature has
provided.
The opposition to beards in this country re
minds us keenly of the stupidity of the public
in all countries in accepting and adhering to
fashions. Heaven’s judgment upon monarchs
—The king’s evil—aftlictedj George IV. This
“fourth of the fools and oppressors” of that
name, had a diseased neck which did not bear
showing, and so a cravat of many folds, much
resembling a table cloth or sheet, was wound
about it. Os course the fashion for such cho
kers was set, and the United States, which, prac
tice “independence” in their national lyric, and
spurn it in daily life, immediately copied it with
out regard to difference of climate or pursuits.
Every man here, accordingly to be fully dressed
was a stupid parody of a royal debauchee. So
when another monarch could not for certain
reasons wear short dresses, her deficiencies reg
ulated the skirts of the robes of American wo
men, which accordingly swept the ground.
Our not wealing beards, though an older fash
ion than these two just cited, found its origin in
kings and their flunkeys. Louis XIII and XIV
of France, at a time when beards were properly
worn, could not show any, owing to their ex -
treme youth at the time of their coming respec
tively to the throne ; so to pay a compliment
to majesty the courtiers shaved, and after
them the public and finally England copied it.
Os course Provincial America did the same, and
the Provincial United States haveupto within a
few years never offered an example of a man
who had the courage to leave his beard as na
ture designed it—unscraped by the razor from
boyhood up.
Incredible as it may seem, one of the above
mentioned foliies of fashion yet remains in such
force in this country that a business man, as a
general rule, dare not wear a beard. Up to this
moment there are hundreds of thousands of em
ployers, merchants and others, who will not
have about them men wearing the natural and
healthful covering of the face—the beard. We
have known recently an applicant in every sense
competent, fail to get employment in the office
of a corporation, the Board ol Directors, iu
their sapient deliberations rejecting him because
he wore a beard, which was essential to his
health. Perhaps as we write, the majoritvof
fogies, retired from business or old in
its traces, are of the same opinion. The
same men fifty years since shaved their heads
like Bedlamites and wore horse-hair wigs be
cause it was the fashion. But we say to Y oung
America in counting houses and work shops,
never touch your beards with a razor. Despise
the dictates of fashion, and let the hair of the
face grow silken and soft, only trimmed by the
scissors. Your health will be improved; your
teeth will be sounder; your liability to colds
and bronchial and lung affections will he sensi
bly diminished ; your convenience will be daily
consulted; your manlv beauty,no despicable thing
as it is the type of what ought to be the dower
of every man—will be indefinitely increased, and
the true and poetical contrast to feminine love
liness be once more secured, which is impossi
ble under the starved, scraped, wiry caricatures
which shavelings now present.
A Pretty Little State Debt.
The Richmond Examiner, under the head of
“Paragraphs showing that the public debt (of
Virginia) is growing up like Jack’s Bean Staik,”
says:
The letter of the Clerk of the House of Del
egates transmitting a statement of the appro
priations solicited from the state at the present
session, will produce many a frown upon the
honest brows of the Virginia people It will be
observed that all of the appropriations sought
are not there enumerated ; many of the bills be
ing of the character of Simon’s net, fashioned
to catch many or few fishes, (not to mention
the loaves,) as fortune may decree. This is
more especially of the Turnpike bills, and the
grand aggregate of wants, all computed, will
not fall short o i fifteen millions of dollars. That
sum, piled on top of the present State debt of
twenty seven millions, will elevate the tax-payer,
into a region of beatitude very similar to that in
which Jack of the Bean-stalk, found the huge
Giant, with a club large enough to crush, at one
blow, as many people of Jack’s size as there are
tax payers in the State of YTrginia.
It then gives a paragraph to show how ap
propriations are carried through the Legisla
ture —a inode, we may remark, not peculiar to
Virginia:
lie who has closely observed the legislation
of Virginia for several years, will not be at a loss
for reason why extra or long sessions result it
large appropriations. He will have observed,
that for the first two or three months of the sit
ting of anew Legislature, nothing is done; and
that for the rest of the time, every species of leg
islation that members choose to ask for is car
ried through, as a matter of course. The ex
planation is easy. Legislation has got to be
system of mutual favors between members—a
system swapping “my support of your bill’’ for
your support of my bill.” A member cannot
sustain his vote at home, in favor of millions of
dollars of appropriations, unless his own “little
bill” is carried along with the general batch.—
Hence such a thing as a general policy for the
whole State is no longer known. The legisla
tion of the State has got to be nothing but a
medley of partial measures, local in their scope
and intent, and as conflicting and annihilating
in their general effect, as the combatants in the
famous Kilkenny fight where nothing was left
but the tails of what were the semblance of
perfect animals.
The Late General Armstrong.
General Robert Armstrong of the YY rashing
ton Union, whose death we have heretofore
announced in our columns was a native
es East Tennessee ; his age was about
65 years. He removed at an early day to Nash
ville, where he lived as Merchant and Postmas
ter until 1845, when Mr. Polk, the President
elect, gave him carte blanche, to make choice of
any postofjionor or profit in the gift new
Administration. As he had been his confiden
counsellor while canvassing for Governor of the
State, and his most efficient and influential
friend in the hotly contested Presidential cam
paign against Mr. Clay in 1844, this mark of
gratitude was not undeserved, and the result
was the selection of the Consulship at Liver
pool, to which General Armstrong was ap
pointed.
Few men enjoyed so long and constantly,
and so nearly, the confidence of General Jack
son, as this gentleman. His personal influence
over the old Hero was almost unbounded, and
unlike the mere parsaites who followed his for
tunes for the advancement they promised, it
may be said, in just praise of his memory, that
lie never abused it to selfish or wicked ends. -
The intimacy was first of the camp, and sub
sequently of the hearth stone. The respect was
entirely mutual. Thepolitica! promotion to which
this inevitable position at the hermitage might
have raised General Armstrong, was uniformly
declined. The Post office at Nashville was be
stowed on him in 1829, and was accepted as
the means of support to a large family. He
made an efficient officer, popular with all par
ties, and so generally and highly regarded by
his YY’hig neighbors, that on the incoming of
Gen. Harrison’s administration in 1841, they
not only refused to petition for his removal, hut
interposed an influence at Washington to pre
vent it.
General Armstrong earned his military titles,
to the highest of which he was promoted in the
Florida War of 1836, by active field service.—
He was a volunteer Lieutenat in the campaigns
of 1813-15, and was severely wounded at the
battle of Talladega, against the Creek Indians
while gallantly defending a field piece, of which
his company had charge. In private life, he
was a kind neighbor and generous friend ; and
although his party affinities were warm and de
cided, they were uniformly held subordinate to
his social relations.
We are indebted for the above to the New
York Daily Times, of Friday.
John Mitchell and Nebraska.—ln the Citizen
of Saturday last, Mitchell defines his position
on the Nebraska Territorial bill, now the sub
ject of Universal discussion The following ex
tract Irom his article will suffice to show his
views:
“For our part, we would hail its adoption as
another triumph of the patriotism and good
sense of Congress over the folly, fanaticism,
and treason which would dismember this glori
ous Union, by the vain pursuits of an empty
shadow to the loss and destruction of the sub
stance.
“It is a grand mistake, an abuse of language
to call the Missouri Compromise a compact be
tween the North and South; If it was in the
nature of a compact, it is rendered null and
void by a later one, the Compromise of 1850.
If it is contended that the first alone is valid,
then wo reply that there is one older still and
far more binding—the compact of the Consti
tution. But there can be no compact made by
Congress in its legislation for all the States in
common. It cannot pass a law to bind its suc
cessors and poster ity for all future time; and
least of all, can a geographical line prevail over
a great principle and say, “Thus far shalt thou
come and no farther. The principle now at
stake is, that the people in every State and Ter
tory have a right to make their own laws, and
no Congress has the power to prevent them.”
Matrimonial about Mr. Fillmore Contradic
ted.—A Buffalo correspondent of the New York
Express says that there is no truth in the re
port that any “engagement” exists between Ex
President Fillmore and Miss Porter, of Niagara,
as stated from Washington by the Washington
gossippers. The Ex-President is leading a very
quiet, retired life—and if he U thinking any
thing of matrimony, nobody knows any thing
about it.
Yciting America.
There is something in this cognomen which
when seen or pronounced, carries with it a sen
sation of pleasure—not that Senator Douglass
i3 believed to be the man of all others more en
titled to it, but for some kind of feeling which
we cannot explain. Is it not that we 1 ave
all read of some others who have gone before the
modem Y'oung America, whose history has left
an impression on the minds and the hearts
of the present generation which sends out a re
sponse as soon as this sonbriquet is sounded in
their ears: Senator Douglass began too late.—
He is over forty ! But here are the true origin

At the age ol 29, Mr. Jefferson was an influ

At 30 he was a member of the Virginia Conven
tion ; at 32 a member of the Continental Con
gress ; and at 33 he wrote the declaration of In
dependence.
Alexander Hamilton was only 20 years of
age when he was appointed a Lieutenant Col.
in the army of the Revolution, and Aid-de-Camp
to YVashington. At 25 he was a member of the
Continental Congress ; at 30 he was one of the
ablest members of the Convention which fra
med the Constitution of the United States; at
32 he was Secretary of the Treasury and or
ganized that branch of the government upon so
complete and comprehensive a plan that no
great change or improvement has since been
made upon it

John Jay, at 29 3’ears old, was a member of
Congress, and wrote an address
to tho people of Great Britain, which was just
ly regarded as one of the most eloquent produc
tions of the times. At 32 he prepared the Con
stitution of the State of New York, and in the
same year was appointed Chief Justice of tho
State.
W ashington was 27 years of age when he
covered the retreat of the British troops at Bra
dock’s defeat; and the same year was honored
by an appointment as Commander in Chief of
the Virginia forces.
Joseph Warren was 29years of age when he
delivered the memorable address on the sth of
March, which roused the spirit of patriotism and
liberty in this section cf the country ; and at 34
he glorious'y fell in the cause of freedom on
Bunker Hill.
Fisher Ames, at the age of 27, had excited
public attention by ,the ability displayed in the
discussion of questions of public interest. At
the age of 30, his masterly speeches in defence
of the Constitution of the United States had
exerted great influence, so that the youthful ora
tor of 31 was elected to Congress from the
Suffolk District over the Revolutionary hero,
Samuel Adams.
Joseph Story entered public life at the age of
26. He was elected to Congress from the Es

The Nebraska Bill iu the Senate.
SPEECH OF MR. TOOMBS.
Mr. Toombs said he approached the consid
eration of this bill with a heart full of gratitude
to a wise Providence, that after a protracted
contest of years this question was about to have
a solution, net by any temporary expedients
but upon the broad principles of constituti mul
justice and right, which was tho only ground
upon which it could be satisfactorily and per
manently settled In entering upon tho discus
sion he desired to resemble the Athenian orator,
who, before speaking, always “prayed the gods
that he might utter no word inconsistent with
justice and truth.” There was a marked differ
ence between the argument made by the oppo
nents of this bill and those by its friends. The
friends of the bill had uttered no word which
might not he accepted by the people as the
truth, while the free soilers who lived, moved and
had their being in excitement and agitation, had
sent forth much that should never have been
addressed to the people. These latter had re
vived the old speeches in opposition to the com
promise of 1850, and delivered them again
against the bill. They are battling now against
the same great truth asserted and established bv
the legislation of 1850. The Senator from
Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) in his speech, not
only traduced the people of the South, Gut also
his countrymen ol his own section, by’ styling
all those who did not hgree with him in his free
soil and abolition sentiments white slaves. If
true, was it an argument to address the South
to change her policy of African slavery, that
there might be white slavery ? Was it an argu
ment to the Soul!) that white men should be
degraded in order that there might be elevation
to the blacks? It was a libel on the North to style
all who were not free soilers white slaves. He
had seen lately in New York proof that it was
a libel. There were men there who declined all
political association with free soilers and aboli
tionists, and who even refused office as the proof
of that association. These men in New York
city who did this did not stand alone. One hun
dred thousand freemen in that State had sustain
ed the act. W’ere these men slaves? We could
not boast like Ireland that our land produced
no reptile ; but while admitting that we had
reptiles amongst us, we could boast that we bed
an intelligence of freedom, and a constitution
which was superior to their venom. The ques
tion now before the Senate was the same old
one of the right, power and expediency of Con
gress interfering in the regulation of tho domes
tic concerns of the people of the Territories.—
Much has been said of compacts, and honor, and
faith and inviolabity of sacred obligations. Who
spoke of these things ? The men whom no
oaths could bind, no obligations of duty or oflaw
could swerve from the execution of their fell
purpose. The Senator from New York spoke
upon public faith, and sacred honor, and solemn
compact ; and he, when Governor of New
York, and sworn to execute the constitution of
the United States, refused to execute it on the
ground that a slave was the subject of a felo
nious exportation of property. Some of these
Senators knew something of compacts to defeat
the will of the people. By 6ome of these foul
compacts—coalitions they were called in Mas
sachusetts—the people were defrauded of being
properly represented, that some of these men
might lie sent to the Senate. Men who owed
their elevation to such fraudulent compacts as
these, now talked of plighted faith, honor, and
the invi- lability of contracts—who, while open
ly declaring they will not carry out a compri
mise, talk to others about observing them.—
Wiiat did this conduct mean? It disclosed that
they were insensible to shame.
He would consider the provisions of this bill
under four aspects. First, that it was wise, just,
constitutional, and ought to be adopted. Sec
ondly, that it had received the acquiescent ap
proval of nineteen twentieths of the public sen
timent of the United States. Thirdly, he w ould
reply to tho objections to the hill; and fourthly,
he would disprove that this bill was a departuie
from the ancient policy of the republic, and dis
prove that that ancient policy was prohibition of
slavery. There was no objection to the con
stitutionality of allowing the people of the Ter
ritories to settle this question as they thought
proper. Those who advocated the prohibition
cf slavery by Cong'ess, as well those North
as South, who deny the power in Congress to
do so, all admitted it was constitutional to leave
the question with the people of the Territories to
decide for themselves He did not believe that
sovereignty over territories w'as in the Congress
or the General Government. The Supreme
Court had said something about sovereignty in
Congress, but he did not pla.e much confidence
there. That court was undoubtedly the safe de
pository of private right, but be knew of no
usurpation of political power by the General
Government but what the Supreme Court had
found some authority for it. He believed all
sovereignty over Territories was in the people
of Territories. Congress had no power
giveu it. The sovereign power was in the States
