extraneous aid, and there we see no fraterni-
zing, hear no Land Reform Professions
There the dominant party clearly detests a
Van Buren, Free SoIler far more than Taylor
Wing. Can any one fail to perceive the
grounds of this discrepancy
1t is remarkable that the Vermont coalition
preserved studied silence with regarl to the
Tariff, and declared the old controversies re-
specting National Bank. &c. completely at
rest, SO as to form no excuse for further dIvIs-
ion or demarcation. What marvel that this
was never discovered by the Loco-Foco party
in any other State Wherever vote can be
made by playing upon popular preiudices a
gainst u. S. Bank, we have the old story
annually repeated; bat Vermont is to be car
ried only by the aid of those who were wings
! throughout the Currency struggle. and there
the Bank bugbear is unceTemonlously pitched
overheard 1t is no longer valuable =
The coalition load their craft very lightly, and
are careful to take aboard as few reminiscent
ces as possible.
The main reliance of this new combination
is the averment that the National Admlnlstra-
ton favors the extention of Slavery into the
newly acquired Territories. This charge IS
sustained by no fact. and is contradlcted by
many. That the President and his southern
advisers would greatly prefer that the cues
ton should settle itself, and so obvlate all
pretexts for sectional distraction and alienation
we do not doubt; but that single act OF the
New Administration has been impelled by a
desire to extend the domain of Slavery, we
have seen no reason to believe, and do moi
believe. The President is plainly anxious Sc
to discharge his duty as to merit the apProba-
ton Of the whole American People, and thus
far has done well. His one reprehensble act
is the liberation extended to the fraud which
made +. A. flanagan Plenipotentiary to
Berlin after Mr.. Folks legal right to nomin-
ate had expired and when there was noquorunl
of the Senate to confirm and even that has
been redeemed by the irmness with which he
has resisted combination and importantly ii
making his own Diplomatic appointments, in
sisiing on fitness as the first and controlling
consideration. Gen. Taylor is no favorite
with us; but we never doubted his honesty
and he has evinced higher qualities in Office
than we believed him possessed of. And i
does seem unfair that his Administration
should be embarrassed at the outset by fac
| tious outcries against it at the North as toe
Southern while it is successfully assaulted a
the South too Northern. as the Virginia E.
lection demonstrate. IfVermont should now
strike hands with Virginia in opposition, i
would be to her sons modification, to the
Country misfortune. But we trust she vii
not SO stultify herself.-N. 7. Tribune.

The following which we extract from a
lengthy article in the New York Tribune, is
recommended to the perusal of our readers, it
contains much truth in relation to the sspow-
er that moves" the Democratic party in va
rious parts of the country upon the Free Soil
Question.
How comes it that the Loco-Focos of Yer
mont, Wisconsin and Connecticut have all at
once renounced the doctrines of their late lead
er Cass and taken ground in favor of the pos
tive statutory prohibition of Slavery in the
Territories How come they to take ground
so heartily in favor of Land Reform and 9TH
er Progressive measures If this Difference
to the might of ideas were general, far be it
from US to discredit it; but when we see it
confined to those States wherein tina, partv
can have no rational hope of success save thro'
the aid of Aboitionsts, how can we help un-
derstanding it 1t is manifestly the old
trick
when tie devil was sick, the devil monk would be
but whenever he feels hearty and strong, he
has no notion of it. Just across the Connec-
ticut, in New Hampshire, the sham Democ-
racy are strong enough to succeed without.

A TEMPERANCE PHYSICIAN

Is very much needed in this place. The
practice is now In great measure In the hands
of the merest penny-catchers, who infct
greater evils upon community than they can
ever hope to remedy, even had they the dis
position to do so. There are those who, for
the purpose of retaining practice, pander to
diseased appetites, and thus effectually thwart
the efforts of humane reformers. Instances
are not rare where habitual drunkards have
been reclaimed from the lowest depths of deg
radiation only to be stricken down again un-
der the specious prescriptions of physicians
who hypocritically profess temperance and
christianity. Better, far better for both, would
be the operation of a quick and deadly poison
which would at once relieve their victim from
the individual would be less murderer
We speak warmly upon this subject because
we have been stabbed nearly and feel keenly.
The assassin who murders outright our bo-
som friend, we could love when compared to
that man who, under the guse of an honora-
bic profession, uses the confidence of his fell
low man to degrade him below the level of
the brute-a living hell to himsefand friends.

MURDER AT PRAIRIE LA CROSSE.

We learn by the Franklin, that murder
was committed few days since at Prairie
La Crosse, Wisconsin, under peculiarly re-
voting circumstances. A man named p. II.
Cameron killed another named Allen, as we
understood, with amaze. The circumstances,
as related to US, were as follows: Some time
previous, Cameron had lost raft of lumber
and he accused Allen of stealing It. We did
not hear that he had, or had not, any proof of
the charge On the day Of the murder, A len
had arrived from above, with a raft of his own
which Cameron demanded in place of the sto-
len one. Alien denied stealing his raft, and
refused the surrender. Upon this, Cameron
struck him on the head, inticting frightful and
fatal wounds, from which he fell. He then
repeated the question, II he would surrender
the raft q Allen replied, that Cameron might
have his raft, but that he had not stoed that
of Cameron. and as dying man he could not
acknowledge to a lie to accommodate him.
Cameron again immediately struck him break
ing his leg in two places. Allen soon died.
Another man who ATTEMPTED to interfere was
also badly wounded by Cameron. The muir
derer was immediately arrested by Mr.. Snow
a deputy Sheriff who happened to be in the
village: and the above are the leading facts,
as we learn, disclosed on the examination
Mr.. Allen. we also understand, resided when
at home, near the Upper Rapids.-Gal. Gaz.
