Pass him Around!

The Printer is cheated There is no mis-
take about it, we are defrauded out of our
just rights and perquisites Presto veto,

gician, was Of, without paying his Printers
bill. The rapscaIIion was here last week.
and gave several exhibitions in natural mag
&c, in which he made number Of interesting
articles disappear in an incomprehensibIe
manner-but his greatest feat. was in making
himself disappear, bag and baggage, with
out the consent of the city authorities, to
whom he had not paid the proper license, and
of the publisher of the Journal whom he ow-
ed two bills. Prof. Marc is Corn Doctor as
well as a magician. and we advise our breth-
rem of the press to n'ark him, as he is sly
customer He is humbug in the grossest
sense of the expression. He don't know any
thing about magic and as for extracting corns.
he knows nothing about il except what he
may have gained from his intimate knowl-
edge of Corn Whiskey,and from being ''corn-
ed" generally. Pass him around as an ar
rant knave who cheats the Printer evidently
without any compunctons Of conscience. We
hope he may have no rest by day. but enjoy
the nightmare in its most horrible varieties
from the time he hes down till he gets up to
lie the day out.

union thus consummated IS a mockery, yet
the world is quietly endorsing all this legal
lied slavery!
The negro slave can curse her owner. and
in her prayers pray. for deliverance from her
misery, but the fair and confding woman who
marries (a-la-mode) either to please her fam
lily by good MATCH or barter away her in
dependence for wealth. either to young or
old man, is worse than the negro slave. For
is she not the 11ife, the lawful property ofour
civilized man of the world? She must bless
her owner, and intercede for him before the
world, and feign for him respect. She has
sacrificed herself to him. and lost her self re-
spect. And to those around her, not even she
to whom the dear name of mother is due,
must know all; and why? Because that
mother has painted before the young mind Of
that suffering daughter the advantages Of "a
good match.
The reverse of the picture is true, though
the coloring is not so dark as to the mental
disquietude ofthe mae sex. For to woman
love is all )" her position in society debars
all outdoor duties; while man in the rough
contact of the world becomes blunted, and is
forced to conceal his feelings; woman is Join
ed for life to one who may be good husband
but her heart yearns for sympathy, more than
is shown in placing her, like a bird, in a fine
house or cage, and covering her person with
Jewels. To her such a union is 1t moral and
physical death. Go ask the medical man
what are the causes of the increase of nerv-.
Gus diseases and why so amiable loving and
happy wife (to the worlds eye) sink rapid
Nv to the grave? If he is honest and dare
risk the loss of a patient. he will answer that
marriage without love is self murder and the
surrender of the affections and the suppress
sion of love and confidence, with the endeavor
to conceal from the world the disappoiniments
resulting from an unequal marriage, disturbs
and breaks up the delicate machinery of the
nervous system. while the physical formation
succumbs, and the poor sufferer dies from a.
Iega lied suicide! But where is the rene
dy {? Let the youth of both sexes, when
pleased with each other, and before they
mediate marriage, study each others char
acter and dispost on, think less of wealth, and
begin life where their parents began, and not
to commence where their parents left of ; and
let the female portion of our community make
it fashionable 10 marry for character and in
dustry and they will see more marriages and
more happy people than they ever dreamed
of. or ever figured in the world Of giddy dance
or fashionable routs For nothing lovelier
can be found in woman than to study house
hold good, and good works in her husband toI
promote"

EvansviiIe and princeton railroad.

Anefort has been made in the Legislature
to have the charter Of this Road continued TO
Vincennes and Terre Haute. 1t will Ger
tainly be chartered to the former place, but
we regret that the effort was made to extend
the charter TO Terre Haute. We do not
think the Road would interfere with the
Wabash and Erie Canal at all, as some sup
pose it will-butit has met with opposition in
the Legislature on this ground-and if the
charter is thus opposed, the road will also
meet with opposition. We think the princi-
pie has long since been decided, that two i'm
provements of this nature running almost on
the same line, do not interfere. On the con
trary, SO far as this road and the canal are
concerned, we believe that they will mutually
increase the business of each other. But the
public are not yet ready to believe this
Actual facts do not appear SO strong to them,
as the apparently plain reasons for believing
the contrary. After the road is built to Vim
.cennes, or under contract for building, there
viii be time for locating its continuation
The prospects are good for the building Of
the Road to Vincennes. The citizens of
Vincennes, we think sufficiently understand
their own interests, and the good effect this
road would have uron them, to spare no en-
ergy in. having it continued from Princeton
There will be a meeting of the stockholders of
the Evansville and Princeton Railroad next
week, when the result will probably be made
known of their endeavors to obtain the proper
subscriptions of stock.

sneaker Elected.

We issued an Extra or Supplement to our
Daily subscribers yesterday, and it will be
mailed to the subscribers of the Weekly Jour-
nal to day, containing the Presidents Mes
sage, the election OF Speaker, and the new
Constitution of the State of Kentucky. Mr..
Cobb was elected Speaker. He is a Demo
crat and a Southern man. He received 102
votes and Winthrop 100. A resolution was
passed to consider the man elected who re-
ceived the largest number of votes. The
Free Sellers were thus ruled out.

Ills with pleasure that l recommend to the
people of Evansville and vicinity the daguerreo-
type artist, Mr.. Telega. have been travelling
better than a year and half as an operator
during which time l have visited the rooms OF
many of the most noted operators in the States
but must say, in justice to Mr.. Telega, that
have seen no pictures superior 10 his. have
had my likeness taken BY the celebrated Mcclure
Of New Orleans, and several other city artists
but Mr. Telega has taken one for me since he
came to this place, which, for its fesh-like tone
and ife-like expression is far superior to any Of
them. His process of finishing is novel and add.
much to the beauty of his pictures.

The Presidents nEessage.

The long expected Message was received
here yesterday morning by the steamer Gen.
Worth from Louisville. We sent it though
Extras to the Subscribers of the Daily Jour
nal, in short time after receiving it, and
promptly forwarded it to many patrons of the
Weekly Journal in last nights mall We
have been at some expense getting out
this large Extra, bat the subscribers of the
Journal will find that no expense or industry
will be spared to give perfect satisfaction.
President Taylor's Message is an able doc
ument. It is just such a Message as might
have been expected from the man brief
yet conclusive, firm, sound and strong. Inits
details, it is clear and succinct. Every sub
iect coming under its notice is treated with a
dignity and brevity,in strong contrast with the
last message of his predecessor. He speaks
like the President of a great peopIe-not as
the minion of a party. The Message must
give sa abstraction to all. The Wings will view
it as an unobjectionable document-the Dem
ocrats must respect it for the honesty and
frmness marking its every part

"Will Mr.. Sanders please accept from the
children Of the Evansville Missionary Asso-
ciation,' the compliments of the season, and
the accompanying token of their gratitude for
his kindness and zeal in their behalf That

may rest upon him, is the prayer Of
"The Members of the
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

We thank the children and we thank the
ladies. God bless them all
But while we bless the ladies generally.
our particular blessing is for the lady who
sent US the Gingerbread Heart AS it COM
prised full section of gingerbread, we feel
delighted to have won so large a heart, and
one of so much sweetness and general good
ness. We did not like to break such a heart.
but the destinations of our appetite were ir-
resistable. The lady, however, has another
kind of heart, which she may be assured we
shall win if il be in our mower We are a
terrible man when we get excited.
Our old and esteemed friend, Captain
A. c. Monfort, of the steamer DR.. Franklin
No. 2, left US Christmas present of a couple
of Prairie Hens, which shall be demolished
to his memory. We are glad to welcome
Capt. M. to the Ohio river again. He is ole
of the right sort, and should not have his
genius cramped in the Upper Mississippi
trade.

HONEST FARMER-Two Farmers having
a dispute as to some land, an action at law
was commenced to determine it, On the day
fixed for the trial, one of them called on his
opponent to accompany him to the court. that
each might give hisown statement of the case.
Finding his neghbor at work in his field. he
said to him: =" Is it possible that you have
forgotten our cause is to be decided to-day p
. No." said the other Il have not forgotten
it, but cannot well spare time to go. You
will be there, and know you are an honest
man, and will state the case fairly. and Justice
will be done" And so it proved; for the
farmer stated his neighbours claims so clearly
that the cause was decided against himself.
and he returned TO inform his opponent that
he had gained the proper y. Such a c,larac-
ter is worth more than the wealth of the In
dies.
