nothing about the journal Of the House

An EXCESS OF FrpERAL PATRIOTS,

AN EXCESS OF fEDERA PATRIOTISM
According to the wspaper reports o
Congressional proceedings, Thomas Cor.
/ win, formerly Governor, now Senator
from the great State OF Ohio, stated in Z
| speech in the Z. S. Senate, on the llti
| inst
THAT the soil upon which the frs
blood was spilled is Mexican and not A
merican soil, and SO help him God as
| long as he had the power to vote against
giving men or money to prosecute this
war, he would not vote for single man
or single dollar, until it could be shown
that the soil between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande was American SOIL.
In noticing the above extract from the
speech Of the federal Senator, the Penn
sylvanian simply mentions the fact that the
space between The Nueces and the Rio
del Norte, has been proven over and over
to be as much portion Of Texas as Tole-
do is part of Ohio Pitts. Post.
Toms sympathy for the Mexicans is
well understood in Ohio. 1t is founded
upon privily of color. When Tom first
appeared upon the stump it was a qnes-
ton of much doubt among naturalists
whether he belonged to the Monaghan,
African, or Mexican race. AS he NOV
ed about from stump to stump, 1t was OBJ
served, too, that his complexion changed.
In the South he carried the hues of the
Mongolian, but as he approached the
Western Reserve he grew dark, very
much inclined to the Airecan. Thus wa
vering according TO latitude, between
white and black, he has at last settled
down into the Mexican. ..
s'To this complexion he has come at last"
Fruits of Virtne.-If you should see a
man digging in snow bank with the ex-
pectation OF finding valuable ore, or plant
ing seeds upon the heaving pillows, you
would say al once he was beside himself
But in what respect would this man differ
from you, while you sow the seeds Of idle
ness and dissipation in youth, and expect
the fruits Of age will be good constitu-
ton, elevated affections and holy princi-
pies? You are as certain TO be disap
pointed, as he who plants his seeds in a
snow bank or scatters them on the pillows.
II YOU desire virtuous ane happy life,
in youth you must shape your character
by the word OF unerring wisdom; plant in
your bosom the seeds of holiness, and
nourish them by confding faith. Another
course, and all your hopes Of the blessings
Of virtue will perish. True wisdom can
no more flourish in a vicious heart, than
the delicate plants of summer on noun
tain of ice.

The WIFE Of the Christiun.-C Chateau.
BRAND, in his eloquent work entitled
Scenic du Christianisme," has this beau
tifui picture of the wife of Christian:
"The vile of a Christian is not simple
mortal; she is mysterious, extraordina-
ry, angelic being; the fesh OF the flesh,
the blood OF the blood OF the husband
Man. in uniting himself to her, reeans
part Of his substance; his soul as well 40
his body are incomplete without his wife;
he has strength, she has beauty; he CON-
bats the enemies OF his country and iabors
in The fields; he does not understand the
details Of domestic life, bu. his compan-
ion prepares the repasf, and her smiles
sweeten existence. So. sf
He has crosses, and the partner of h;s
coach is there to soften them; his DAYS
may be sad and troubled, bat in the chasts
arms Of his wife be finds comfort and re-
pose. Without woman, man would be-
rude, gross and solitary. Woman spreads
around him the flowers of existence, as
the creeperS Of the forest decorate the ma.
jestic oak with their odoriierc,.s sarlands.
Finally, the Christian pair live united, and
in death are not separsble; in the dus, they
lay side by side, and their souls are re-
united beyond The limits of the tomb"

The Dead.-How little do we think Of
the dead. Their bones lie entomel in all
cur towns, villages, and neighborhoods.
The lands they cultivated, the houses
they built, the works OF their hands are
before us. We travel tie same road,
walk the same path, sit at the same fire.
sides, sleep in the same rooms, ride in
the same carriage, and dine at the same
table; yet seldom remember that these
that once occupied these places are now
gone--alas! for ever!
Strange that the living should soon for
get the dead, when the world is full Of
the mementoes of their lives. Strange
that the heeting cares of lie should 50
soon rush in and fill the breast 10 the ex-
iclusion Of those so near. To-day man
stands and wceps over the grave Of his de-
parted friend; tomorrow, he passes that
grave with cold indifference. To-day his
heart is wrung with all the bitterness Of
anguish for the loss Of one he SO much
loved; to morrow, the image Of that friend
is etfaced from his heart and almost forgot

A Legal Decision .--Its Effects.

a AeSIl Dcc1SAOn ...ltS Effects.
The editor Of the Hawkeye has decided
that the joint resolution for paying the
Secretary of State $500 for superintend.
ing, indexing, and distributing the laws,
empowers that officer to contract for their
publication. He hopes that the Secreta
ry will conclude to receive bids for the
work, SC, &c. -.
This suggests an "idse." tits said that
the Clerk Of the House refuses to deliver
the manuscript journals TO the publishers
of the Standard, on the ground that the
House reconsidered its vote employing
him to do the printing; and it is wei!
known to every man who was at the cap.
ital, that there was no subsequent consti.
tutional action upon the subject. Now,
the question arises, lis it embolical,) il
the Standard is not entitled 10 that Job by
resolution, who is? We sly empha,ically,
nobody! The Standard has at least tie
color Of a title-something to base claim
upon. This no other paper has.
Now, it is TO be inferred that old Hawks
"'otirs for making this legal decision, was,
by implication to en,po,rer The Clerk Of the
House TO contract for the printing of that
journal. And the question again arises,
by receiving bids for the printing of the
laws, two or three hundred dollars can be
saved 10 he State, as he says, how much
can be saved by letting gu. the printing
of the House journal, (twice as heavy a
| job, 10 the lowest bidder2
We do not admit that the Clerk of the
House has any authority to contract Tor
the performance Of that work. He has
not the powers pertaining to the office ol
Secretary Of State, who we think should
have the control Of this matter in the
present case; but, if he chooses to assume
such stretch Of authority, since the
Haw keye has taken this ground and m sde
this proposition, we shall hold him 10 it.
We shall see if, after hat e. ouud being ia
ken, he will take the responsibility OF
contracting with the editor of that paper,
without first advertising and receiving
sealed proposals.
