Don't be discouraged. be dis

not go on smoothly. 1t seldom happens
that the hopes we cherish of the future are
realized. The path of life in the prospect
appears smooth and level enough, but when
we come to travel it we find it all up hill,
and generally rough enough. The journey
is laborious one, and whether poor or
wealthy, high or low, we shall find it SO, to
our disappointment if we have built on 9th.

Etmo,ogies.-The editor of the New
Era, paper recently started in New. York
city, says that the term Milliner is derived
from the name Of the Lombard city Milan,
famous even to this day for its dress-ma-
kers and seamstresses. They were called
Milaners, which word has gradually chang
ed to Milliners. This is probably correct.
Ii is well known that the term Mantud-nad-
kers is derieved from the name of Mantla,
another Italian city, from which the kind
of mantle once called mantua, was de-
rived. So the damson plum derives its
name from Damascus, from which is form.
ed the adjective dan,ascene, gradually
changed to damson. These plums were, !:
is said, first brought from that city to the
west of Europe and thence to this country.
So, also, currants derive their ma rom
Corinth, from which they came, were
originally called Corinths.

words.--Ontdrio Rspos.

near Bombay, left property to the amount
gilmore than 100000. We learn that he

U'The Belmont (Wisconsin) Gazette reads us
the following lecture; than which no castigation
was ever more justly applied. The inconsistency
of those who defeated our admission is indeed SO
glaring, that it cannot be long before the people
will the designs of such blind guides" bring
ing disgrace and ruin upon our state, and will
render that treatment which will shrink them back
to that secluded station, to which just indigna-
ton usually assigns such LADDERS. 1t should be
borne in mind, that the people Of Michigan in
convention resolved or promised, that if congress
conceived they had the right to decide the boun-
ry question, and with that conception should
make decision, even against our claims. we
would submit. In view of thatpromise congress
decided, and asked our submission, according to
promise but we declined, and here we are, a
subject of pity and regret.
MICHIGAN.
The position into which this young and
flourishing State has been thrown, by her
rejection of the terms proposed for her adj
mission into the Union, is such as to excite
feelings of regret in the bosom of every in.
dividual having the least regard for her peace
and prosperity. During that long and broil.
ing contest between Ohio and HERSELF from
consciousness that their claim was Just,
they were resolved on asserting their rights
and maintaining their position, until the
question should be decided by the rightful
power; though portion of the people were
for submitting the disputed territory to the
State of Ohio, rather than throw themselves
into an unpleasant controversy. But no
sooner had she formed her Constitution, its
features exhibited, and the question decided
against her, than a new beam of light burs,
in upon them, and they discover that to
them belongs the disputed territory, and that
to surrender to the decision of Congress
would bring stain upon her character,
which ages of an upright and virtuous adj
ministration Of her State Government can.
not wipe away. They seem to be actuated
only by desire to embarrass the peaceful
administration of the State and National
Administrations.

CONSTANTINE REPUBLICAN.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, isoe.

0-- We give our impression this week on the
enlarged form, size somewhat indicative of the
anticipated Importance of the place of our loca-
ton. Our winters stock of paper of this size is
procured, and part of it received. If Constan-
tine shall soon become place of the business
contemplated, paper of these dimensions will
be needed and literally and efficiently patronscd.
In this effort for the benefit Of the community
where we reside, rather than for our own advan.
tage--whether we be sustained or not, depends
wholly OH the good will and punctuulty of our
patrons. Rather than let this attempt fail, it
would be better for the people of ST. Joseph coun-
ty had no press been started among them, and
for us, had we given our labor, time and OK
penses to some other calling.
That the rise in our terms, which will be found
at tho head of the first column in our outer form,
is hardly in proportion to the additional expense
of getting up our enlarged sheet, when the high
prices of labor and every article of living are
considered together with the great cost of the
long transportations of nearly every thing used
in keeping up our business-of which printing
paper brought three hundred miles, forms no
small item. Patrons who commenced previous
to the present number, it will also be seen, are
not during their first years subscription, effected
in the rise of terms. Such of them as have not
yet mad, any payment, will of course expect to
pay the same as is now required of new subscri.
bers in advance.
voluntary support is all we have ever asked,
and all we expect in future; and whether our
friends do or do not afford us any tokens of an
enlargement of heart, they will not now have il
to say of us, that we have not in their behalf
enlarged our efforts. They will please accept
our best wishes for their welfire, and our grateful
Acknowledgements for all favors hitherto received
