The Sauth American Forests.

The forests of the AmaZons not only cover the
basin of that river, from the Cordilera OF ChIquI-
tos to the mountains of Parma, but also its limiting
mountain chains, the Sierra Dos Vertentes and Pa
rima. so that the whole forms an area of woodland
more than six times the size of France, ying be-
tween the eighteenth parallel OF south latitude and
the seventh OF north; consequently, lnter-troplca
and traversed by the equator. According to bar
on Humboldt the soil, enriched for ages by the
spoils of the forest consists of the richest moulG
The heat is suocating in the deep and dark reces-
ses of fthese primeval woods, where not breath OF
air penetrates, and where after being drenched by
the periodical rains, the damp is so excessive that
a blue mist rises in the early morning among the
huge stems of the trees and envelopes the tangled
ereepersstretchng from bough to bough A death
like stilnes prevails from sunrise to sunset; then
the thousands of animals that inhabit this forest
ioin in one discordant roar, not continuous but IN
bursts. The beasts seem to be periodically and
unanimously reused by some unknown impulse, Ill
the forest rings in universal uproar. Profound ST.
lence prevails at midnight, which is broken at the
dawn of morning by another general roar OF tEe
wild chorus. The whole forests often resound'
when the animals startled from their sleep, scream
in terror at the noise made by bands OF its mhab
itants flying from some night prowling foe Then
anxiety and terror before thunderstorm are ex
cessive, and all nature seems to partake in tht
dread The tops of the lofty trees rustic omlnousy
though not a breath of air agitates them; hollow
whistling in the high regions OF the atmosphere
comes as a warning from the black floating vapor
midnight darkness envelopes the ancient forests

EE- Whenever the Freeman wishes to discuss
any principle, or question of fact about which we
chance to differ, in courteous manner, and will
give to the party whose principles advocate its
true instead of nickname, at its service
But we cannot make any direct reply to such rig
marole and billingsgate its article of last week
headed "ocofocoism' In the first place our self
respect forbds it. and secondly, there is nothngin in
the said article worthy of reply
The above is part of the Democrats answer to
our article headed "Locofocosm,'' p in the Freeman
of November oath In our article we used as mild
language as the circumstances Of the case would
admit and had no intention TO say any thing that
would seem dscourteous or out of place, and if we
have inadvertently done so, we beg to be excused
1t is true we used some severe language in spea-
king of the Locofoco press generally, but did not
intend to have it apply particularly to our friend of
the Democrat We stumbled upon some home
truths, which no doubt "hit" the Democrat in a
ore place, and as he was unable to successfully
disprove them he falls back upon his dignity, and
refuses to toe the mark
| The request of the Democrat that we will cease
to call the party, of which he claims to lead BY the
nose in this part of the loco vinyard, by the name
of Locofoco we must decline It is undoubtedly
the most appropriate name that can be applied to
it; and we cannot see for the life of us, why any
one can take exceptions to it. There is, per-
haps, a great many Democrats-true, "simon-pure"
Democrats-in the Locofoco party, where they
have got by mistake or accident to which the name
of Locofoco does not apply, and wish it distinct
" understood that when we use the word, it is not
intended to apply to them, but to the lazy tr"ckng
sbserviency and Office hunting class, which infect
the whole country, and to majority of the editors
Of the Locofoco press.
But while our friend asks this favor of us, he ap-
plies nickname to the Wing party, one which
we are proud Of too, in the very article from which
the above is an extract But there is as much
consistency in this matter there is in any act OF
Locofocoism, or the press which represents that
party here,
We do not desire to get into discussion which
may lead to unfriendy feelings with our neighbor
nor do we intend to use any language, which may
be considered insulting or ungentlemanly. Here
( tofore we have been on the most friendly term:
with him, and hope nothing may occur to disturb
or mar the harmony, which exists between US; bu
} at the same time we shall not be deferred from
speaking our honest convictions treating Loco
foco ISLANDERS as they deserve.

The Senate YeSterday--COurtesy and
Fairness.

Every observer in the Senate yesterday must
have been forcbly struck with the vast difference
between the two sides of the chamber IN gentle
manly bearing and fairness of movements When
Mr.. Myers, very improperly as we think called ca
Hamilton county first, it looked very much like
trick. 1t was very small attempt to get an I'M
proper advantage before the Wings were sworn r. IN m
The great struggle on the part of Whitman @ 90
WAS to yet vote on Johnson's case before the 9TH
er Senators were qualified, and as he claimed be-
fore they had Il right to vote. This was rascaIy
trick. but it did not win. And when Mr. Beaver
endeavored to get the parties to agree to stand
aside till the new Senators were sworn he was met
with an emphatic no by Whitman. The course
that was right and proper, and which had been
agreed to in the House. was peremtorily refused IT
the Senate.
We ask the people of the State to note these
things. The Wings proposed to yield their cleal
ripht under the law and to have Mr.. Broadwel
stand aside till the balance of the Senate woulc
pass upon the case if Mr. johnson would also stane
aside Was not this fair? Was it not all tha
honorable men ought to ask? And yet it was no

San Francisco sin Slices"

Some one that has an eye to the ludicrous writes
to the Boston Post his last impressions OF San Fran
CISCO thus:
LANDED at a muddy, rocky, and dusty sort of
landing, and assembled sort of a small hill, and
there was with San Francisco city before me-
What a scene! | shall never forget it, such
crowd of humanity, dirty, squalid, lazy, drunken,
lounging, ragged, well dressed, altogether-mer-
chants spectators blaeklegs, sailors nggers, In
dans-people from all parts of the world all per-
fectly at home in each others company-all distlct-
ions levelled by gold-Jack and the cook as good
as their master-so democratic about it. too with
out being actually insulting. / think can correct
one or two erroneous ideas which, perhaps, you as
well as all others entertain. One is with regard
to the almost magical creation of city, giving you,
perhaps the idea of new place, town, or city, such
as is built in the United States in no time. This
is an orror. Instead of neat white wooden houses
cleanliness &c. here you see the greatest collect
ion of pigsty looking shanties ever behed. little
shanty about the size of your aunt's hen-house
would be esteemed good property-would be dig
nified with sign it Of so and so, general mer-

Organization of the House Yesterday.

The organization of the House yesterday was a
rebuke to the lawess and anarchical spirit of the
I.ocofeeo party last year. 1t will be remembered
that at the last session this party stole into the
House two hours before the usual time; that they
proceeded to call the Cincinnati members at once,
and the first on the list; that these men were
sworn in by Judge Reed when no quorum was
present, and that for four weeks Messrs. Pugh and
Pierce backed by the whole party, refused to stand
aside and permit their right to be determined
hy the other members elect. In the most solemn
and emphatic manner they declared they would
,,eper relinquish their rights as members OF Ham
iton county But after four weeks of violence and
outrage, they were finally compelled to stand aside
and permit the other members to pass upon their
claims Who does not kr1ow that this is what the
Wings proposed in the beginning of the difficulty?
| And who does not know that Locofocosm was COM
peHed to come TO that at last
Yesterday, having learned wisdom from experi-
ence for once, they agreed beforehand to the very
matters about which they fought long last year.
Yesterday they agreed to go in at 10 O'Clock,
and to take no steps before that time They agreed
that the Hamilton cases should be called hast IN
stead of first They agreed that the men they
claim as elected from Hamilton should not Vote up
on theirsown case, but let the other members de-
eide their rights To their honor, be it said, they
lived up to these agreements. The House was
organized peaceably. No bad blood was manifest
ed there. Now, we ask the country aCho were IN
the RIGHT last year? Who caused all the turmoil
and confusion of the first four weeks last year r.
Have not these men by their course now ADMITTED
that they were rioters last year? They are forced
to that conclusion or must admit that they have
tanaely yielded rights now. The people will put
the proper construction upon these acts.

The senate--The HamIIton County Case.

The discussion in the Senate yesterday upon the
Hamilton county case was very full, able and inter-
esting. We are glad to announce that the Wings
sustained themselves most tnumphantly IN that de-
bate The proposition that person having
regular certificate of election from district known
to the law is clearly entitled to seat in the Sem
ate, was not controverted. But it was claimed,
and shown most clearly that the certificate of Mr..
johnson did not come within that rule. He held
certificate under law. He had nothing that en-
titled him to a seat more than any other person
from Hamilton CO. The whole array of cases where
persons had been admitted to their seats on their
certificates failed here because in the cases cited
the claimants had certificates from districts known
to the law It is all idle to talk of the certificate
| of johnson being in conformity to the law. No
man of thimble full of brains, who examines
/ the statute for moment, will come to any such
conclusion. Ali analogy then fails It is a new
case 1t involves the right of a clerk to fix
Senatorial districts different from and in opposition
between certificate given in conformity to the
law, but which is false in fact, and one given IN
opposition to the law, and founded on votes gwen
in territory known to belong to another district and
which is fully shown by the very abstract itself
must be willfully blind Here is the whole point
| in the case Breadwell presents an abstract show
| ing that he has thousand majority in the first
district of Hamilton county for Senator johnson
presents certifcation showingnot that he is chosen
from the first district but from Hamilton county
Which shall the Senate take: Clearly neither
has certificate of election under the law from the
clerk The fact then, of election must decide
Broadwell is elected He must then keep his seat
and we are very much mistaken if he does till the
end of the session. State Journal of Tuesday

The LEGISLATURE.

The House is organized, with Letter, Speaker;
Blair, of Brown, CLERK; and Bell of Sandusky Ser
ueant- at arms. Mr.. Bell was elected this morning
on the sth ballot The disgraceful speratlon OF
"doubLe rotiaq' was resorted to during number
of ballots. 1t became so odous that it resolv-
ed to have each mans name called and to have him
comeforward and deposite his vote at the CLERK 5
desk, in the presence of the House. Mr. Ball OF
Muskngnm, very properly asked Mr. Bresn If all
this double voting was to kick up tnss r II
such infamous conduct is net hawned down by the

between right and wrong. If cgsmes like this are
to be perpetrated with impE1s then has the

regret and repudate this whole affair of double Vot-
inc. We call upon them to use their influence to
save their friends and the State from the deep dis
grace that such scenes will surely bring upon them
In the Senate upon the reading of the minutes
this morning motion was made by Mr.. Lawrence
to amend the Journals. They were palpaby de-
fectire They conveyed no idea of the true hlsto-
ry of Yesterday No notice was taken OF the Cln-
cnnati contest No notice was taken that Mr.
Broadwell had presented credential; had been
sworn in. and claimed to be a Senator upon that
floor. The Clerk has earned for himself an unen-
viabe reputation by this most miserable par'lzan
mannuver. But it will fail The true history VIII
