| A BASE AND VILLAINous INsULT.-We un-
derstand from the Ohio Statesman, that tho
conductors of one of the new banks in Gin
cinnati, about to 60 into operation under the
new law, have placed the likeness of Gene
raj Jackson on the corner Of their $40 pro-
misses to pay! A more unfeelng and OUT
rageous insult to the memory of that great
man, could not have been perpetrated. The
whole life and history of Gen. Jackson re-
pels such an unwarrantable and infamous
use of his likeness. IT'S ridiculous in tho
extreme for the federal party at this late day
to attempt to identify the hero of New Or
leans with corporate swindling of any kind,
and more particularly with the issues under
Kelley's sea monster, We advise every de-
mocrat to decline taking any notes with the
likeness of Gen. Jackson on their face-the
bank that issues them will certainly blow up
in less than year. Mark that predction.--

The better way, in our opinion, is to remove
the portrait from the bill, and test the ability
Of the bank to redeem it. They cannot,

last federal Legislature Of Ohio, are alarming
to every friend ofrequal rights, to whatever

THE DEMOCRATS OF NEW HAMP-
SHIRE AND THE ALGERINES IN
RHODE ISLAND.

hI1OOE lCLAlNOs M
The Algerines of Rhode Island, in their
reckless and indiscriminate opposition to the
rights Of the people, have not only prosecuted
the friends Of freedom and equal rights in
their own State, but have attempted to sup
press the expression of opinion in regard TO
their conduct in other States. But they find
that the sway which they hold in Rhode Is
land does not extend TO New hampshire
The fearless and indomitable democracy of
that State give no quarters to Algerines.-
Gov. Steele, in transmitting the imbecile and
frothy resolutions Of the Algerine Legisla-
ture to the Legislature Of his own State, ac,-
companies them with the following spiiited
and pointed message, in which the A.,.serines
are treated with the. contempt they de-
serve.
"1o the Senate and House Of Representa-
tires: @'
"By the request Of the Executive of seve.
raj OF our Ester States, herewith transmit
Tor yeIr consideration resolutions passed by
tie Legislatures Of the States making the
requests. Among the number is one of an
extraordinary character from the State Of
Rhode Island. - s,..r rs.a.s.
"lt will be recollected that at your last
session series of resolutions were passed
relative to the unjust and tyrannical treat
ment of Thomas Wilson Dorr. 1t appears
that those resolutions had on the Legislature
of Rhode Island the usual effect of incontro-
vertible truth when spoken in the ear of ty-
rants everywhere. That body, instead of re-
futing their errors, if errors they contain, lost
their dignity, if any they ever had, flew into a
passion, and denounced that which they could
not controvert. Their effusion of spleen
would not have been noticed by me, were it
not for the modest rebuke of his excellency
the Governor of Connecticut. That public
func:ionary has seen fit TO censure you, and
also to praise his peculiar friends in Rhode
Island. They, no doubt, are worthy of each
ether. "JOHN II. STEELE.
"Council Chamber, June l3, ls45."
The following resolution, which is true to
the letter, was passed by the Legislature of
New Hampshire, in a response to the above
message:
Resolued, By the Senate and House of
Representatives in General Court convened.
That the statements contained in the pream-
bic and resolutions of the Legislature Of this
State, at its session in 1914, relating to the
unjust and tyrannical treatment of Thomas
Wilson Dorr by the authorities Of Rhode Is
land are true; that they are fully sustained
by the evidence in the case, and by the rec
ords of the court before whom he was tried
and that the assembly Of Rhode Island never
can, by resolutions denunciatory Of this or
any other legislature, wipe out from the page
of history the deep stain which must ever
attach itself to that State, until full and COM
plete justice be done to that much injured
individual"

Joking people on their defects, too, is a
species of horseplay, which has little to re-
commend it, When you would be witty up
on noses, see to it that the jest tweaks no
present proboscis. Most people are sensitive
about the nose. Talk not of long-legged
gawks," in the presence of those who soar
above the medium height, or Of "the con-
temptible little" 10 such as fall below an
average. No one conscious of like de-
feet, finds pleasure when you laugh at squint-
ing; and SO on, through the whole range of
deviation from beauty's standard. There is
nothing, either, in worse taste, common
though it be, than TO allude to years, or to
speak comtemptuously Of age, as if the one
were disgrace and the other dishonour.
By such rudQness, we oft secure an enemy
or inflict a wound, where it would be far
from cur desire to give offence. Guard your
then; and remember that there
is nothing SO quiveringly alive as the self
love of human nature. The gentlest touch
may give it pain; and admitting it to be
folly, yet it is folly so general, that it claims
to bo respected. Meals Saturday Gazette.

In debate in the French Chambers, in
answer to charge that the French govern
ment had joined England in opposing an
nexation, M. Guizot said, if Texas was de-
sirous of annexing itself TO the United
States, the French government had nothing
to say against it; but he admitted that it
would be more agreeable to that Govern
ment, and more consistent with its interests,
if the annexation did not take place.
Some of the Wing journals have assumed
this language TO deny past interference,
while it is only declaratory Of the future in
tentions of the government; with a very de-
cisive intimation Of its inclinations.

PASSAGE FXoM THE STATES THROUGH
THE RDcKy MoUNTAlNs-Tnough several
parties have penetrated into the O egou
territory from The u nited States through the
gofges and over the towering heights of the
Rocky Mountains, yet II may be safely
asserted from The concurrent testimony OF
The traders, lrappers, and settlers, who have
themselves passed these natural barriers.
that the d tiiculties are SO numerous and
formidable, and the time necessary for the
passage so long, that there is no secure ex-
ped tlous, or commodious track which can
be ever used as a highway So as TO afford
facilities for an influx of en- grants overland.
Several routes have been iied of late, and
each differs only fiom the other in the pri-
vltions which the passengers undergo.
None but The wild and fearless free trappers
can Chamber over these precipices and tread
these deserts with security, and even these
are quitting them as haunls, and now using
them only as unavoidable tracks. 1t is
true there have been published more favor
able accounts, within the last year or two,
by paItjes who have made the journey safe
y, and who encourage others 10 make a
similar experiment. But these accounts
are in such spirit of brarddo, and accom-
panied With expressions of lhankfulRess by
the parties for their own success, that they
are indirect proofs of the difficulty and
danger of the undertaking, and of the uitel
hope!esSncSs of such route for general
purposes. For hundreds of miles the sever
al tracks present nothing bnt trighlful bar
renness underoot, and overhead scorcblnr
heat or piercing cold. The country, even
west Of the Rocky Mountains, is broken
with towering cliffs, deep ravines, and sunk
en- streams, from which the traveller cannot
draw drop 10 allay his burning ihrs; and
the soil is either sandy, IN winch he sinks
at every step, or OF black, rugged stone,
which tears his feet. The travellers have
been obliged To feed on the lean carcases
of their animals, which have died from
hunger, thirst or fatigue. Fa,nhain says,
that his party were at last obliged 10 Kill
their universal fdvorte and pet-their dog.
and economist his flesh. He further says.
that during eight days journey, aud he lad
proceeded with the expedition vi one tTavcll-
lDg for lite, he had not met with single
acre of land capable of gram or vegetables.

:. Oar only food was dried, crumbling meat
which We Carried, and chewed like biscuits
a. VIC travelled. There are two reasons by
which the extreme thirst the way lsrer suffers
in these regions may be accounted for +;
first, the intense heat of the sun upon the
open aud exposed plains and, secondly, the
des:ccatan to WHICH everything here is SUBJ
ject. The air feels like the the breath Of
a siroccc, the tongue becomes parched and
horny. and The eyes. mouth, and nose are
necessarily assaulted by the fine, pulyerized
lava which rises from the ground with the
least breath of air. Bullets, pebbles Of
