In regard to Mr Doyton, there is moreknown. True, his career in the Senate doesnot show him a brilliant man, jet it showshim to have been a very conservative, re-

spectable, old fogy Wbig, and hence howthe "shrieks for freedom" in Philadelphiacame to exhume him at this late day is be-

yond our comprehension. We have onlyhad time to examine one year of his Sena-torial career, 1848, but in that one year wefind enough of "old fogy" notions advanced,

Africans, for a reasonable time after theyhid keen landed in Liberia.; and that it isbeneath the dignity of the Government todevolve this duty npon the Society. Thepetition of the executive Committee of theSociety which the committee incorporstedin their report,states that on the 16th of De-

cember 1845, the United States ship York-tow- n,

Commodore Bell, landed at Monrovia,in Liberia, from the alaver Pons, seven hun-dred end ffly recaptured Africans, in a na-ked, and starving condition, all of them,except 21, being under the age of 31. --TheU. S. made no provision for their supportafter they were landed.

The Testimony of a Polite! Op-

ponent.

The Burlington(rowa) State Gazette halong article in relation to Kansas affairs

from which we make the following extract:"While on this subject, we will say that

have just had a conversation with Wo.'Graff, Esq , who has recently returned

from Kansas. Mr. Graff is well known aslawyer and an active opponent of the ad-

ministration. Being the creat sun' inDes Moines county on the fusion side; hecertainly cannot be accused of partiality tothe administration; but we believe him tobe cn honest man, and his testimony is, thatthough there are faults on both sides, theatrocities of the Free State party are fargreater than those of the side.The late murder of five men bythe abolitionists, on the Ossawatomie, hesays, was a wanton act, done without provo-cation, and attended with sanguinary cruel-ty; the poor creatures were broken in upon

the night, dragged from their beds, and,defiance of the entreaties of their Wives,

murdered and afterwards savagely mutilated.The emissaries of the easter abolitionists,he considers, are the prime causes of all thedisturbances."

RetckK of the Kassas InvesticatirsCommittee We learn that the investiga-ting committee of the House of Repre-sentatives, - consisting of Messrs. Oliver.Howard and Sherman, came on in the west-

ern train yesterdey morning as far as theRelay House, and thence went on to Wash-ington. They are accompanied by Messrs.Joel Walker, Dr. Armstrong, and Sir. JohnBarker, a deputation of Wyandotte Indians,also from Kansas. Gen. Whitfield, the del--cgato in Congress from Kansas, has'elso re-

turned to Washington. These gentlemen,;lf. is understood, say that the affairs in theterritory are by no means in as bad a state '

as has been represented, and that such represcntations will be made to the governmentat Washington as will soon put a atop to allfurther difficulties. Baltimore Sun.

Itlr. DaTho London correspondent of the N. Y.

Jovrnalof Commerce says the general opinion in London is, that Mr. Cramptons dis-

missal will be followed by the dismissal1 of'

Mr. Dallas. This, however, the writer does --

not believe. He says great, exertions aremaking, and by powerful, men, to influencethe Government not to tender Mr. Dallas '

his passports; and these exertions will not '

probably fail. The writer adds ' that MrDallas has exercised no agency directly or i

indirectly, on the subject; but there is suchunbounded confidence, in every intelligent?'circle in the mctrobolis, in the rectitude, .ot. 'his heart, that his retention is universally ..

desired.

Moise Folly All round we hear of rat.'ification meetings of the republicans, and 'rejoicings, fireworks, &c, in honor of Fre-- "mont. In the course Of the next month itlooks as though a hundred thousand dollarswould be spent in gunpowder and flummery, "

All this is mere folly and nonsense. " As. 'J

old gentleman of high character in the U. S.Senate or British House of Lords. It would

not require any shrewdness of observation,to discover that he is the autocrat of a plan-

tation. .Hois large in frame and fleshy,his face much wrinkled, and his hair nearlyall gone. His voice is good, but he is not

calculated to be the leader in a DemocraticConvention. The "noise and confusion"perplexes, onnoys him. He is not accus-

tomed to be interrupted and badgered on all

sides.Mead, of Virginia, a fine specimen of the

old school Old Dominion gentleman, is sit-

ting near the central aisle, in the easternof seats, and some twenty chairs from

the Chairman. Ha is large, handsome,

dressed richly, and is courtly in style, and

says that which he has to say, well, but not

with overwhelming power. He too, is op-

pressed with the develish din around him, and

there is a paucity of bright sandy hair on his

round and placid head. Hon. McMulIen.ofVirginia, is a large man who speaks hurrid-ly- ,

and with a singular flutter in the largevolume of sound which ho emits, and whodoes not often happen to hit the nail on thehead in his remarks. There is evidently a

large amount of self complacency buttonedaway under his spacious yellow vest.

Childs of Connecticut, billing in tho south-

west part of the Hall, is a charming old fel-

low. Good humor and good will toward menhave doubtless glistened in his broad face for

more than three score years and the wrinklesworn there, have been made by the flow ofthe milk of human kindness. But when,ever he rises to speak, it seems ' to bea mtttcr of conjeature whether somefull-fed- , large hearted old stylo Metho-dist preacher has not strayed down fromIndianapolis, and got into the Convention in-

stead of the Conference. There is a twangvery like that to which we are accustomedfrom the Methodist pulpit, ia hi utterances;and on Tuesday he produced quite a sensa-tion in the Convention, by calling on Dele-gates to "give their experience." His voiceis full, and has a ponderous gurgie, and rollsabout the Hall with triumphant approbationof itself and the sentiments it deliver?, inevery tone, and swells up like the mel-

low blast of a s horn, of thekind of which Gen. W. O. Butlor sungamid the storm of plaudits sure to come.

To the right of the Ch tirinan, (near theaisle) well ba.-- may bo seen ihut world-

wide celebriety, Sotile. He would probablyweigh one hundred and eighty pounds, and

is very slightly round shouldered, but hi.--t

limbs are stright nnd handsome. His whitevest curves comfortably outward, showing a

moderate appreciation in the past of pood

things to eat.andthut good digestion had wait-

ed on appetite. The expression of his face is

quite French, but this is a Napoleonic sense.His lower jr.y is firm 83 iron, a Frenchman'svague polite Bmile, lingers and plays on hislip, and he has a beaming eye, and a fore-

head not huge at all, but rounded out and

seamed, and paled with thought and the pas-

sion of many a war within tho brain of whichit is the index, ond wonr and tear of many n

rude phock, amid tho contentions of thewor'd. As he iurnshis head, his eyes gleamwith a il.mli that might well incite apprehensions in a toe. x nerein snines the nre o

of the mnn who shot theFrench Minister at the Court of Madrid, and

incurred the bitter personal enmity of tho

French Emperor and Empiess, which Pnrisletter writers say he slill enjoys. His onceblack and heavy hair, now thin and slightlysilvered, is brusncu nacK cirnigiu ana closeto the scalp, revealing completely the fine

outlines of his head. As yet he has not spoken a word in Convention.

On the extreme rL'ht of the Speaker, nearone of the pillars of tho gallery, Jno. Pettit,of Indiana, (who was labelled for time nnd

eternity by Col. Benton) looms up at fre-

quent intervals, short but thick, brief yetenormous looking like. a giant sqeeted

down in Gabriel Rayel's magic man press.

When he rises, he presenls a broad patchof bald head, a quccrly arranged, big fat face,a vast belly, and legs like those of on ele-

phant. His voice seems to roll up from

some boundless and thunderous region, andreverbate solmemnly above the tumult likebooming of a monstrous bull-fro- amid a

concert of frogs of far inferior wind privi-

leges. Immagine a bull-fro- g played upon

by a steam whistle, and yon have it. And

that which he says is to the point, and potenttoo. His thunder is not an empty sound,

but roars with veritable significance. .

One of the most active men in the Hall is

Richardson, of Illinois, a tall, firmly built,coarse featured man, who, stoops slightly,and with anxious, unflinching gaze, regardsevery movement of the slightest importance.He is the right bower of Douglas, was thechampion of the Nebraska Bill in the House,

yet was and was the regular Dem-

ocratic candidate for Speaker of the Houselast winter.. There is evidently a largeamount of that quality which we call humanity in the man and he is working for

Douglas with the most intense devotion.His face does not shine with the interior in-

spiration His smiles are onlyskin-dee- and there is something of sorrow,and weariness with unrequitted toil, in everydeep line that seams his f?oe, out of whichhis great Roman nose stsnds like a promontory,' defying sea and iky 'with all theirstorms. Briefly said, he looks like picturesof Black Hawk, only hia costume is that ofcivilization.

A Beautiful Thought.

It wos night, Jerusalem slept 1uetamid her hills as a child upon the breast ofits mother. The noiseless sentinel stood

like a statue at his post, and the philoso-

pher's lamp burned dimly in the recess of

his chamber.But a dark night was now abroad upon

the earth. A moral darkness involved thenations In its benighted shadows. Reasonshed a faint glimmering over the mind ofmen, like the cold inefficient shining of a

distant etar.The immortality of man's spir

itual nature was unknown, his relations to

Heaven undiscovered, and his future destinyobscured in a cloud of mastery.

It was at this period, two forms of ethcre-rea- l

mould hovered over the land of God s

people. They seemed like sister angelssent to earth on some embassy of love.

The one was of majestic stature, and in

the well formed limbs, which her snowy dra-

pery hardly concealed, in her erect bearingand steady eye, exhibited the highest degreeof strength and confidence. Her right arm

wos in in expressive gesture upwards,where Misfit appeared to have placed itsdark pavillion, whib on hsr left reposedher delicate companion in form and coun-

tenance the contrast of the other, for she

was drooping like a flower when moistened

by refreshing dews, and her bright but troub-

led eye scanned the air with ardent but va-

rying glances. .Suddenly a light like the sun flashed out

from the Heavens, and Faith and Hope hail- -

with exulting songs the ascending Star ofBethelem.- -

Years rolled away, and a stranger was

seen in Jerusalem. He was a meek unas

suming man, whose happiness seemed to

consist in acts of benevolence to the human

race. There wore deep tracts of sorrowon his countenance, though no one knewwhy he grieved for he lived in the practiceof every virtue, and was loved by all thegood and wise. By and by it was rumoredthat the stranger worked miracles! Thatthe blind saw, the dumb spoke, and the dead

leaped to life, at his touch! That when he

commanded, the ocean moderated its chafing

tide, nnd the very thunders articulated he is

the Son of God. Envy assailed him with

the charge of sorcery, and the voive of impi-

ous judges condemned him to death. Slow-

ly, and thickly guarded he ascended the hill

ofCalviry. A heavy cross bent him to theearth. But Faith leaned upon his arm and

H,po dripping her pinions in his blood,mounted to the skies.

J. C Fremont.We call the attention of our candid Fret-Soi- l

end y friends to the recordwhich we present below, and which consti-

tuted the political history of this distinguish-ed but recently discovered statesman.

The Uluck Republican party, whose pe-

culiar candidate Col. Fremont is, will find

in it food for reflection. Honest minded

men who act with the political organizationthat has brought about his nomination, have

been led to believe that he was selected as

their cantiidjte. on account of the strong at-

tachment to the principles which they pro-

fess; that in his distinguished efforts to aid

the cnuse of human freedom they had dis-

covered an able advocate of the y

sentiments which constitute the basis of

their political principlesSurely, he is worthy to be the chosen

leader of fuch a band of sage patriots and

disinterested philanthropists. His anti-sl- a

very principles can no longer be questioned;hey cannot fail to enlist for him the cordial

support of the anti-slave- men of the North.Born in a slave State, reared among slaveholders, he has really no interests or feel

ings in common with those whose supportthe wire-worker- are aiming to secure.

Again we call the attention of anti-sl- a

very men to this brief but satisfactory history of his distinguished services in their

' 'cause: ;

Is Senate, Sept. 11, 1850.Mr. Underwood of Kentucky, called up

the bill for the relief ol the American Colonization Society. The Slaves that were re-

captured on board the barque Pons wereturned over to the Colonization Society, bythe authority of the United States, sent toLiberia, and there kept at the expense ofthe Society for one or two years. Most ofthem were children of twelve, fifteen andsixteen years of age. The Society thinksthat the expense of feeding, clothing andeducating these people which was thus de-- ,volved on them by the action of the Gov-

ernment, ought to be repaid them. It wascertainly an expense incurred by the Socie-

ty, through tho action of the Government inthrowing these young negroes upon themfor muintainance, instead of taking them, osthe Government was bound to do by. law,and providing for them. That ia the natureof the claim. They simply ask that so muchshall be paid them as the. Society, from itsown experience, pays (in reference to itsown emigrants. The claim was reportedupon favorably two years ago. A similarreport has again been made; and as the ne-

cessities of the Society require that theyshould have the money, I hope said Mr. U..the Senate will consent to take op the bill.The Senate agreed to take up the bill andproceeded to consider it as in Committee' Of

Personal Appeiiranee of Premiss-e- m

men in tiie (Jotivciition.

' The Chairman, John E. Ward, of Geor-

gia, is stall gentleman whose figure would

by an artist be culled good. He is dressed

in dark clothes, and hid complexion is swurthy, his voice shrill and usually very dis-

tinct; but it gives out, cracks, at a highpitch, His manner is ordinarily very dec-

isive, and he inclines to be rigid in the en-

forcement of the rules. Many knotty Parliamentary points are tied ond tangled forhis solution, and he occasionally defersmiich to members of Congress on the floor

but is a very efficient presiding officer.

Harry Ilibbard, of New Hampshire, seemsto be his preliminary adviser. Hibbard hasa scat near the stage, on tho Speaker's left,

and gives the votes of New Hampshire.

He is tall and slender, wears glasses, and is" decidedly intellectual in nppearance, his

forehead being high and fair, his cheekslean and his lips, thuugh not thin, tightlycompressed. His voice is strong and full ofemphasis. Ho has served eight years in theHouse of Representatives, and lost his seatin consequence of his vote for the Nebraskabill. He is a fast friend of Frank Pierce,and is the organ of his corner of the Hall.

Under the Gallery next the eastern nislc,

(to the left of the Chairman,) is B. F. But-

ler, of Massachusetts, a short, nervous mun,with a bald he ml, and light sandy moustache.About the back of his head and above his

enrs are a few dry looking foxy hairs, which

seem to hove been parched' by the excessive

heat of his brain. He is intense end inflam-

mable as a Chinese cracker, and makes his

points wilh a sharp ferocity of utternnce al-

most startling. His voice is not strong,but keen and piercing, and yet occasionallyis husky with the vehemence of pasxion,which seems ready to blaze from him in dire

combustion'.Close to this peculiar personage is B.

r. Hullet, ' who reported the Platform.He is a short, hoavey, rather peacable look-

ing gentleman, whose general appearenccsuggests many good dinner and considerable

intellectual vigor. He read the Platform ex.ceedingly well.

Near the Eastern aisle, and within a few

seats of tho front on the Western side ofthe aisle Hits John C. Breckcnridge, the im-

personation of Democratic Kentucky chival-

ry, who won a high reputation in the lastCongress, and declined to be a canidate for

ed young man, with delicate .features, andwould be singularly handsome if his profileline was more prominent. Looking at himsideways, and his forehead, nose and chinare nearly in a straight line. But his eyesbeam with intelligence, his nose is handsomein outline, and the habitual compression of

hit lips indicates a resolute will. On thewhole there is a poetic glimmer about him.And. that there is something of this in hischaracter, the fact that he has purchased anisland in Lake Superior for a summer home,would Indicate. .

' His manner in speaking is,proud, defient and full of passion temperedby educated discretion.1

In the Kentocky Delegation, near thefront, is C. L Wickliffe, Esq., who looks toperfection the .old Kentucky aristocrat.The pnly thing democratic about hira is thehandkerchief with which he wipes .the persplratioa from his brow, and which appears

V. Fremont by the Republicans, and, though

complimenting his success and capacity asan explorer, of the wilderness, expresses4ofgrave doubts as to his fitness to be entrustedwith tbe chief control of tho affairs of theGovernment ol the United States.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the same got

journal, writing in a like vein, say's:

"It is indeed a matter of grief to witnessthe condition of the country, and to see the to

intrigues and motives of political manogers,who, withou.. regard 0 the interest of thecountry and of the Union, can in such analarming crisis be governed exclusively bysuch petty, personal, and interested motivesas they so evidently are. When talents,patriotism, decision, energy, and national cdfeeling are such important requisites for theChief Magistrate that is to preside over thedestinies of country for the ensuing fouryears, which will be a period of such difficul.ty and danger, to hear the names that arementioned and urged as suitable for such a instation under existing circumstances, and '

merely because such parties would favor thepersonal views of their backers and advo-

cates, is really humiliating and discouragingeven to those who are never willing "to de-

spair of the Republic." Men comparativelyobscure, wiihout taent, without experiencethat would lead any disinterested person todream of them for such an exalted and re-- ,

sponsible stution, are brought forward andrecommended in tho strongest terms. In thelast twenty four hours I have heard of at

aleast a dozen such persons mentioned by dif-

ferent delegates to tho Convention for thefirst and second office of the country, who weare about as fit for those stations as tho most S.unfit man in either House of Congress, and

how unfit some of those are I leave you to a

judge who are on the spot where the "wis-

dom of the nation" is collected."

lu uence of a Newspaper.

A schol teacher, who has been engaged a

long time in his-- profession and witnessedthe influence of a newspaper on the mindsof a family of children, writes to the editorof the Ogdenaburgh Sent'nel as follows :

I have found it to be the universal fact,without exception, that those scholars ofboth sexes and of all ages who have had ac-

cess to newspapers ot home, when compar-ed with those who have not, ore :

1. Better readers, excelling in pronunci-ation, and consequently read more unde-rstanding. ...

2- - They are better spellers and definewords with ease and accuracy.

3. They obtain a practical knowledge ofgeography ,in almost half the time it requiresothers, as the newspaper has made them fa-

miliar with the location of the most impor-

tant places, nations, their governments anddoings on the globe.

4. They are better grammarians, for hav.ing become so- - familiar with every varietyof stylo in the newspaper, from the com-

mon place, advertisement to the finished andclassical oration of the statesman; theymore readily comprehend the meaning of thetext, and consequently analyza its construc-tion with accuracy;, i '.

Or The Montreal (Cannda) CommerciaAdvertiser, io speaking of the people of thicountry, holds the following very complimentary language: ... ,

"The men of the Revolution are dead;their1 inferior children of 1812 are in theirdotage; tho present generation, raised onhot cakes and sweet dxins, and stimulatedwith tobacco juice, is all talk and no cider

as destitute of the stamina on which courage is foundedas its mothers are of flesh.Look at the women: "charming at sixteen,faded at twenty, toothless at twenty-fiv- e, hid-

ble of exertion',' incompetent to exerciseever-ailin- g, listless," lazy, straight up ' anddown, like an old fashioned clothes pin j ma-

and votes recorded, to stick In the throat ofmost of those who cannot swallow anythingpolitically unless It tastes of "wool." Hereis Mr. D.'s record for 1843:

"Congressional Globe, page 619, April11, 1848, in his 'remarks on "CaliforniaClaims," Mr. D. said he "disclaimed any

with Abolitionists, and enlarged a lit-

tle on the misunderstanding between theNorth and the South on the exciting topicof slavery."

March 3d, 1843, Mr. Dayton in presentingthe resolutions passed by the legislature ofNew Jersey in favor of the construction ofa railroad from lake Michigan to the PacificOcean,took occasion to give that project thecold shoulder. "Without," said he, "givinging to the subject any careful consideration,I may be pardoned for saying that, as at present advised, my impressions are altogetheragainst the scheme of Mr. Whitney as bnwiseend impracticable." See CongressionalGlobe, page 23.

April 25, 1848, Mr. Dayton defended therailroad monopoly of New Jersey against anattack made upon it by Mr. Clayton, ofDelaware. See Congressional Globe, pase676.

July 26, 1848, Mr. D. voted against thebill establishing a government over the ter-

ritories of California, Oregon and NewMexico.

August 5, 1848, Mr. D. voted ayainst anappropriation of $30,000 "for continuingand completing the surveys and explorationsto be made by JOHN C. FREMONT inOregon and Calitormi."

August 8th, 1848, Mr. D. said "tho ques-

tion of Free Soil and slavery were not thegreat questions of the Whig party. Thtyconstituted loo narrow a ledge for that parlyto stand on."

Aug. 10, 1848, the Oregon bill being bo-fo- re

tho Senate, "the question was taken onthe amendment embracing Missouri Compromise, and it was decided, yeas 33, nays21; o?d in the negative is the name of Mr.Dayton." Congressionol Globe, page 1,061.

Verily, is not Mr. D. a capital candidatefor these "freedom shriekcrs."

The "Kill-e- m' Doctrine.In the Pittburgh Convention, a few months

ago, after prcyer by the Rev. Mr. Lovejoy"The Rev. Mr. Brewer, of Connecticut,

said he was iu fuvor of usingcc-flrms- , andfighting for freedom in Kansas."

"Rev. Mr. Chandler said he believed thatSharpe's rifles were the best peace makers,there was no danger too many of them wouldbe introduced in Kansas."

"Rev. Mr. Lovejoy was willing to go ei-

ther as a captain or private. He would useSharpe's rifles, and fire wilh good aim!"

In the North Church, soon after, the Rev- -

Henry Ward Beecher said:"I hold it to le an everlasting disgrace to

shoot at a man and not hit him!"On the same occasion, the same reverend

gentleman said "he had never heard of butone compromise which he thought was agood one;" and that was contained in an

answer which ho alleged Robinson the bo- -

gous Governor of Kansas, had made to Gov.Shannon's demand for a surrender of theSharpe's rifles held by the people of Law-

rence; which answer he stated to be

"Well, 6ir, in regard to the rifles, I pro.pose to compromise we will keep the wea-

pons ourselves, but give you. the contents!"'.'That compromise," continued Rev. Mr

Beecher, I think would work!"The New Haven Palladium says:"The champion of freedom will see that

the slave-holder- s are kept busy and they

williee that the slaves arelxbetaled and put in

a condition to take care of themselves."

The Lowell Courier says:"jjrooKs oiigni to . De snot down like a

beast."In one of the churches of Detroit, last

Sunday evening"a fearless and faithful min-

ister of Christ" as tho Tnhme terms himpreached an abolition sermon, in which he

remarked as follows: ;

"Before I would see popular sovereigntywrested by force from the people of the Territories, (referring to the determination ofthe authorities to enforce obedience to. thelaws.) I would have the plains of Kansas silent wilh universal .death. Before I wouldhave the lips of our Senators and Represen-tatives sealed in craven silence by the handof southern violence, (referring to the casti-gatio- n

bestowed upon Sumner by Brooksfor personal, not political, reasons) wouldsee the halls of Congress ankle deep in blood--"

A vessel with pig lead lay at the leveedischarging her cargo; a nigger would get apig on his back, and before he could getashore the lead would melt and run all overhim, so that he'd have to be dug out withcold chisel. . "... , .,

of them, relying upon the Government ofthe United States to refund the cost ofthem. ,

How would an anti-slaver- y man be expected to vote on this appeal to Congress forJustice. Upon the question of paving theseclaims we find Mr. Fremont's name record-ed as voting in the negative, along with oth-

er distinguished men whose namei are free-

ly used aa "border ruffians" look at thispicture! .

Look at the company he keeps look atthe names recorded with his, and see if youfind Hale Chase or Seward.

Soon after tho above vote was taken, abill was introduced into the Senate to pre-

vent enticing slaves from the District ofColumbia. Upon the motion of John P.Hale to instruct the Convention so to

the bill as to abolish slavery in theDistrict, we find this Free Soil candidatefor the Presidency voting in the negative.

Verily Old Bullion must have appreciatedtho character of this candidate. "Sir" sayshe, " I did not think him fit for a son-in-la-

much less for President."

Whig View ol Fremont's Nomination.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, alwaysthe leadimg whig journal of that city, having a reputation for much political signcity,announces the nomination of Fremont asfollows :

"The 'bright, enterprising young man'has been rewarded for 'handsomely explo-in- g

the Rocky Mountains' by a nominationfor the Presidency. ' Of course no one an-

ticipates that he will be elected in this 'yearof our Lord' to that high offije. The peopleof the United States, or any considerableproportion of them, are not likely to pass bymen of years, and experience, and wisdomrecognized statesmen and leaders andplace a young man, u ithout antecedents aslegislator or statesman, in the high office ofChief Magistrate. We do not believe therepublican leaders have any anticipationthat Col. Fremont will be the next President of this republic. He will serve, whatalone could be expected from their candidate, to keep the 'conglomerate mass' (thusone of their own speakers designated theparty)together through the campaign, andthat is the object for which he is nominated.We will not do the Convention the injus-

tice to suppose that if they really believedtheir nominee would be successful, theywould have passed by so many senior andmore eligible citizens, and put forward soyoung a man, and one so entirely withoutantecedents. '

"It will be apparent to the reader that,deeper and more lasting than all the shouting and hurrahing over the nomination ofCol. Fremont, lies d feeling of dissatisfac-tion, which will probably manifest itself erelong. . The harmony of the party ia morenoisy and pretentious than sober and real.

"Altogether, we Imagine the republicansespecially with their present candidate, arenot likely to prove very potent in November next, against men known to history andexperienced in statesmanship." '

- Beautiful nnd True.

In a late article in frazier's Magazine thisbrief but beautiful passage occurs:

"Education does not commence with al-

phabet. It begin's with a mother's lookwith a father's smile of approbation, or signof reproof with a sister gentle pressureof the hand, or a brother's noble act of fo-rbearancewith hands full of flowers in greenand daisy meadow with bird's nests admir-
