THE KALIDA VENTU RE

N a government Of men and not ofsproperty-,
the rights of man as possessed of reason and af-
fections--the right of the people to institute 60
yernment, and when it becomes destructive of its
ends, to alter and reform it-equality against pr-
vilege-hostlity to special Legislation for the be-
nefit or for the injury of classcs-the assertion of
the rights of labor, which includes most nearly
the rights Of allan extension Of the triumphs Of
humanity even to criminal law-freo and good
schools for the generation that is to take our
places--the advancement of moral reform, by the
increase and diffusion ofintelligence."- Bancroft.

The NEW NAME for the country continues to be
the topic of the press everywhere. "Allegania''
will not 60 down without a struggle, for we see
new suggestions daily. The latest is Winnie
pisseogiania; - and we do not why the coun-
try should not be called after big lake in New
Hampshire, as big mountain range in Pennsyl-
yania. " "Dismalswamplania," or " Okefenoke-
ana'' are high sounding titles, and if the South
puts in for the honor Of re-baptisng MS, these will
no doubt be duly considered. The Plebeian roes
an for Dollarland, !" which, it saysis good Yam
kee-Saxon word so good, indeed, that the editor
perpetrates the joke in two paragraphs in the snme
paper. All these ore ingenious, but none Of them
compare with :. Yankeedoodedom." ."-New
York Express.
1T We have no amendments to offer to the
above mendments-tbough Buckeycland" or
Suckerdom," or even "Pukedom'' would be
quite as good names if we are to have change,
as any Of those suggested.
We are glad to see that these new-fangled no.
menclators meet with ridcule and rebuff from all
quarters. We have seen no reason urged why
sentence of death should be pronounced upon
our time-honorcd and tme-hallowed national
name, that strikes us as possessing any force,
compared with the powerful rcasons-reasons
that have their seat in the heart-that can be urg-
ed against it. "What's in a namel" A good
deal.-in our Republics name, at least--the OPT
nion of the learned clique of Gothamite "fecloso-
fers" to tho contrary Notwithstanding. 1t was
baptized in the blood of our heros and sages;-it
was nurs'd amid the winds and Graded in the
storms.n The nation's birth and life has gori-
fed our naton's name, beyond that Of any other
in Christendom ;-and nothing but an equally
glorious future of heroism and martyrdom in the
cause Of human rights, can command the same
veneration for any other name. We oppose the
vandalism that would innovate upon the old name
or the old principles as written down by JEFFER-
SON in the Declaration of Independence.
EDITORIAL CoNvENrIoN.-It is proposed in one
of the Mt. Vernon papers to hold a convention of
the democratic editorial fraternity of Ohio, at that
place, during the early part of the coming sum-
mer One Of the chief reasons urged is, that
there is a democratic landlord in the said town
of Mt. Vernon, who is pretty clever fellow, and
wants :. to raise the wind" 1t probably cost him
two or three cents, and perhaps even fiP,'to in
dace ELLIS to make the proposition.
THE PEOPLES FORUM, is the title of one of the
best conducted and best looking democratic pa
pers in Ohio-just established at Bucyrus, by j.

succeed.

BEAUTIES OF STATE BANK.-Alabama
is involved in debt of fourteen millions of
dollars by the operation of her State bank
system; while the debts due the Bank are
not worth more than seven millions. The
people of the state will have to pay the
remaining seven millions from the proceeds
of their labor. If the Wing Banking scheme
for Ohio is permitted 10 60 into operation
the same ruinous consequences may be ex-
pected to follow. Let a universal cry of
REPEAL avert such dread calamity.

AND MERCHANT.

How like you the idea of being compel
ed to pay tax on your book accounts, your
worthless debts, your stock on the shelves,
and in fact every article of trade.
AND MECHANIC.
Are you perfectly willing to pay the bank
er's tax. You will be obliged to do it, if
you should be fortunate enough to amass
money. Every note you possess, of capital,
must go into the assessors hands and be taxed
as your capital--and taxed too in the whole
amounts while the banker only pays on his
100000 of basis, leaving the tax on his
100000 of circulation, out of which he is
making quadruple interest, to be footed by
the people at large.
Men of all classes, are you willing to pay
the bankers tar?--Hardin Democrat.

IAY, FARMER,-Did you know those chick

Thus the people have been relieved by
the little addition ofSIXTY-FOUR THOU
SAND THREE HUNDRED AND Sc
VENTY-ONE DOLLARS TO the expense
of the government.
l3. Tn the above we have not included an
increased compensation to the Secretary of
State, of some four hundred dollars, and
some three hundred added to the salary of
the Secretary in the Executive office, and
also to the Clerk of the Treasurer of State
three hundred dollars, and to the Clerks in
the Office of the Auditor of State, four hun
drcd dollars.
But let Justice be done though the Hea-
vens fall. Let this coon Legislature have
credit for the great retrenchments they have
made, and the offices they have abolished.
Yes! wonderful to tell! The enormous per
diem of the poor little messenger boy of the
Senate was reduced from one dollar to fifty
cents day!! But this is not all. The re-
lief of the people did not stop here. The
office of overscer of the poor IAN office with
out compensatory was abolished! And for
all this the coon majority is certainly enti-
tied to the credit and the thanks due from
the people of the te!-Ohio Statesman.

From our Jefferson City Correspondent.
JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 9Th, 1s45.


MEssRs. Benson & GREEx-The beauty OF
things is sometimes made more striking and daz.
cling TO the senses by the manner in which they
are presented to the view. The Governor
having been somewhat addicted Of late to The
use Of the Ueto power over the acts Of the egisa.
ture, the Senate on this day took it into their
heads to pass that lick round and rejected the
nomination OF that fellow, Mclean, OF the
Platte Argus, for Register, to fill the place Of
Mr.. Heard, the nomination having been sent in
day or Two since by his Excelency. This
fellow, Mclean, has for months past been pub.
fishing all the old speeches and documents with
which his Excelency has heretofore afflicted tho
public, and by that means lattered the executive
into the belief that he was the counter part OF
Amos Kendall or Francis P. Blair; and his re-
ward for toadyism was the Registers office.
The Senate are right. They too, are a part Of
the democracy Of Missouri, and why lavish all
his fulsome praise upon the Governor and no.
even crust OF a erumb be thrown to the Senate.
The Senate has also indefinitely postponed the
resolutions OF the house. instructing the bank 10
finnish an increase OF circulation to the branch
at Fayette.
The resolution introduced into the house, by
Mr.. Knox, 10 borrow money from the bank TO
defray the expenses Of the Convention, and 10
pay the deficit OF the expenditures Of this session
Of the General Assembly, passed the House, yes
terday; the blank being first filled with the sum
Of fifty thousand dollars. The exhausted state
OF the public funds is therefore no longer an
argument with the members 10 hasten the bust
ness OF the session 10 a close.
The two laws, one concerning Justices
Courts, and the other, Executions, have been by
resolutions in the House, referred TO a select
committee, with instructions to strike out all the
several clauses Of capias; the warrant or sapias
having been retained only in special cases in
those laws as reported 10 the House.
The subject Of the tobacco warehouse is likely
to come up again, soon; majority and minority
reports having been made 10 the House. by the
committee appointed to enquire into that sub
ject. The minority is for selling. and the ma.
iority contrc.
The business Of revising the laws is progressing
now quite rapidly, and no good reason is seen
why the legislature may not adjourn by or before
the Goth Of March. X.

Ga1ErY.-There are two kinds OF gaiety-the
one arises from ,cdn; OF heart; being touched by
no pity. sympahzing with no pain, even Of its
own causing, it shines and glitters like frost
bound river in the cleaning sun. The other
springs from eyccJs Of heart; that is, from heart
OVERLOOKING with kindness towards all men ard
all things; and, suffering under no suPeradded
grief, it is light from the happiness which it
causes from the happiness which it sees. This
may be compared to the same river, sparkling and
smiling under the sun OF summer. and running
on to give fertility, and increase to all within,
and even TO many beyond its reach.

FORCE OF PERIODIC VIBRATIONS.

Many curious instances might be men
toned OF the great effects produced by Pc
riodic vibrations, one Of the most familiar
perhaps, is the we'll known result Of march
ing company of soldiers over a suspension
bridge, when the latter, responsive TO the
measured steps, begins to rise and fall with
excessive violence, and, if the marching be
still continued, most probably separate in
two parts. More than one accident has
occurred in this way, and has led to the or.
der 1--WE believe) that soldiers, in passing
these bridges, must not march, but SIMPLY
walk out OF time. Another curious effect
of vibration in destroying the cohesion OF
bodies is the rupture of drinking glasses BY
certain musical sounds. 1t is well known
that most glass vessels of capacity, when
struck, resound with beautifully clear mu
steal note Of invariable and definite pitch,
which NAV be called the peculiar note of the
vessel. Now, il a violin or other musica
instrument be made to sound the same note
the vessel soon begins 10 respond, is thrown
into vibrations, its note grows louder anC
louder, and eventually may break. In or
10 insure the success OF this experiment
the glass should not be perfectly annealed
however the tendency to break is invariabI!

THE WIDOW AND THE COBBLER.

Some time ago the husband Of an ancient
dame, resident in London, died without making
his will, for the want OF which very necessary
precaution, his estate would have passed away
from his widow, had size not resorted to the fol.
lowing expedent to avert the loss OF her prop
erty. She concealed the death Of her husband,
and prevailed upon an old cobblev, her neishbor,
who was in person somewhat like the deceased,
to go to bed At her house, and per.onute him, in
which character it was agreed he should dictate
will. leaving the widow the estate in question.
An attorney was next sent for to draw up the
writings. The widow, who, on his arrival, aP.
peaTed in great affection at her good mans dam
ger, began to ask questions Of her pretended
husband calculated 10 elicit the answers she
expected and desired. The cobbleE groaning
aloud and looking as much like person goiGg
to give up the ghost as possible, feebly an.
swered,-"l intend to leave you half OF my
estate and think the poor shoemaker who lives
opposite, is deserving the other half. for he has
always been a good neighbor," The widow
was thunderslruck at receiving a reply so differ.
ent to that which she expected, but dare not
negative the cobblers will for fear OF losing tho
whole OF the property, while the old rogueI in
bed (who was himself the poor old shoemaker
living opposite) laughed in his sleeve, and di.
vided with her the fruits OF project ws;SSh, The
widow had intended for her sole benefit. "
