Frepdom's Cause Revining.

The defeats which the reactionary or
"conserratiue" parties Of this country and
Europe have recently suffered in the States
of the South and West, and in Hungary,
are indeed cheering to the friends of free
dom. In Europe the barbaric hordes
of Russia and Austria, fighting for The
cause of 'law and order" there, have been
defeated by the noble and immortal Mag
vars, and the prospect is that they will be
overthrown and annihilated. The droop.
ing cause of liberty in Europe revives. and
republicanism again holds up its head
The glorious spirit of liberty may yet re-
animate the people of France. and rouse
them to a contemplation of the degrada-
ton and disgrace to which her reactionary
conservatives have brought upon her, and
stimulate them to arrest the treason of her
betrayers before it is too late, and before
France again shall have been manacled
in the letters of despotism.
In the same way is the patriotic cause
reviving in this country. The reactionary
conservatives, calling themselves wings,
but who are real tories and monarchists,
are suffering defeat and disaster from the
brave defenders of freedom here. In al
most every election their mercenary le-
pions are scattered or overwhelmed
Here, like their prototypes in Europe, they
have been guilty of duplicity and treeche-
ry. They gained the confidence of the
people by false promises, which, after they
had obtained power, they shamelessly
violated, treating the people as though they
were dupes, who could not detect deceit
and falsehood under the assumed garb o
honesty and truth. The people have dis
covered the fraud, and have risen upon
their betrayers
The signs are indeed encouraging in
both hemispheres. The friends of liberty
are everywhere taking courage and rising
upon their betrayers and oppressors. Let
the great work Of political redemption and
renovation 60 on. 1t will 60 on. Victo-
ry will succeed victory. until the great
democratic party Of America and Europe
shall rise triumphant over. their foes, who
are the friends of conservatism. aristocra-
Gu, and monarchy, whether they fight un-
der the whig banner of this country, or

Free Soil Whigs,

The Geauga Wing, Taylor paper,
seems in peck of trouble about the free
soil" nominations on the Reserve. 1t thus
speaks of the free.soil nominations in
Summit and Portage counties:
"The Free-Soilers, in Summit county,
nominated H. B. Spellman, an old Lib
erty man, for Representative. Spellman
is a locofoco on the Apportionment, Tax
and Bank question"
"The Free-Soilers of Portage county,
have nominated Friend Cook, an old loco
foco. for Representative"
The same paper has correspondent
from Warren. that gives the following ac-
count of the free. soil convention of Trum-
bull county, and the defeat of Senator
Beavers resolution:
ga short time before their convention,
and previous to that of the wings, Mr. Lee
was in very good grace with them, not
withstanding the bold and manly letter
which he wrote in answer to inquiries of
the central committee. But he had ac-
cepted nomin alton from the wings, which
made his 'damnation Deep" and the ju-
nior of the Chronicle pours out his vials
of wrath upon him. The Free-Soilers
cast about them yesterday for candidate
for Representative, and finally centered up
on John Hutchins, Esq, of this town, who
was originally locofoco, then liberty
man, and finally rests in the arms of the
Free Democracy. AS might be expected,
he is bitterly opposed to the apportionment
law, which Of course gratifes one wing Of
the leaders here. B. F. Hoffman, Esq,
offered set of resolutions among which
was one in reference to the Apportionment
Law-leaving the matter with the Repre-
sentative to follow out his own notionswhich
in the present instance was equivalent to
taking firm and .fred stand against its
constiiuiionalny. J.F Beaver drew up an
amendment the effect of which was that
the law should be regarded and adhered
to, until it was out of limitation This
called out a speech from Mr.. Hoffman of
some length, and the resolution prevailed
over the amendment. Beaver evidently
fe,t sore to see so plainly, which side of
the house prevails, even in his own imme-
diate vicinity"
We record these things as part of tho
history OF the presen; campaign IN ohlo,
which is opening rapidly Iii all parts 'f
the State |
One thing is already settled, and that is,
that the "fee ,soiers'' of Ohio have re-
solved to have no further connection with
the wings while they follow the lead of the
owner of 1900 human beings" as slaves.
The separation appears to be Gred, if not
mutual, for some of the wings groan terri
bly, at the loss of allies that have given
them power in the State for years past,
and for which favors the Ohio Stat, Jour.
nal has been returning with the most CRATE
full abuse we have been pleased to read for
years.-Ohio Statesman

Argument Against Early Marriages

A writer in the National Intelligencer,
ofyesterday notices a communication from
the Richmond Republican signed Nv. w.
Y" in which early marriages were advo-
Gated, and presents 1.-The other side Of the
PICTURE" as follows:
"Says w. w. Y. 'Allknow or should
know, the opinion of the good and wise
Franklin upon this subj ,ct who was a
warm advocate in its favor Perhaps
Franklin was philoyophicallv right in his
opinion, but facts 60 to prove that he was
practically acrong. For instance gentle
men all know. or should know that the
children of very young parents are gener.
ally deficient fstrength ofbody and mind,
and commonly die young. 'All know, or
should know that Franklin was the ff-
teenth child of his father, and the eighth of
his mother; and more still, he was the
Youngest child for fue SUCCESSIVE genera
tions on his mothers side from whom,
more than his father. he inherited his emf
nent talents. Pitt. Fox and Burke, were
each the youngest child Of their respective
families. Daniel Webster is the youngest
by second marriages.; so also was Lord
Bacon, whose father was fifty, and his
mother thirty.two years of age athis birth.
Judge Story's mother was forty-four at his
birth; Benjamin West was the tenth child
of his parents; and DIR. Doddridge was the
tDentieth child by one father and mother.
1t is proverb that the youngest children
are the smartest.' And why? evidently
because the parents are mature in mind
and body, and consequently transmit a
higher order ofmentality to their offspring.

would obviate much of the vice and wick
edness which is now almost unavoidable,

Great Administrat on Mars Nest.

We could hardly suppress laughter, yes
terday. while reading the Presidents Pro-
clamation in relation to the invasion of
Cuba. 1t is evidently an administration
trick, nothing more, to divert the attention
of the people from certain other matters,
which lust now afford no aid and comfort
to the powers that be. We refer to the late
election.
The Administration has been so sud-
denly let down by the people, wherever
the latter have had chance to do so, and
the tide of public opinion is just now set
ting in so strong against the new Govern
ment, that something dark and suspicious,
and that which will demonstrate the cour-
age anil patriotism of the new Administra-
ton, must be hatched up to tickle the pub
lie ear.
We do not believe one word in this noise
about Cuba. There is nothing even pro-
bable in it. If there is move on foot to
annex this Island to the United States, by
first helping the inhabitants through rev.
olution, this is not the Administration to
put down the movement. But the Presi-
dent does not seem to know exactly what
is on foot. He says:
"There is reason to believe that an arm
ed expedition is about to be fitted out in the
United States, with an intention to invade
the Island ofCuba, or some ofthe Provinces
of Mexico"
Fudge! The Government organ, the
Republic, says:
"That bodies of men were in course OF
being lepied and drilled in New Orleans
New York, and other cities, that money to
considerable amount had been contributed
that arms have been provided, and ar
vancements made on large scale with a
view to some military expedition. Their
movements have been conducted with
great secrecy, and the object of the enter
prise has been concealed even from indi-
viduals who have embarked in it,"

The Boundary Question.

By the following letter published in the
New Orleans Picayune, it will be seen that
the Mexican Commissioner, Gen. Condee,
has at length made his appearance at San
Diego, where Col. Weller, the Commits
sioner on the part of the United States
has been awaiting his arrival, in order to
run and mark the boundary between the
two countries, as provided for in the Treaty
Of Peace. 1t is unfortunate for the whig
editors that Col. Weller had to wait for
the Mexican Commissioner, instead of the
Mexican Commits. waiting for him, as false
lv charged by the New York Tribune, for
nolitical effect, and to pave the way for
Col. Weller's removal. The fact that it
was the Mexican, not the United States
Commissioner, that was in default, has
snoiled a vast amount of whig thunder,
and places the Administration who re-
moved Col. Weller, upon the Trlbune's
charges Of being behind his time, in pre-
dicament supremely ridiculous.-S.atesman

@An exchange paper says that five
dollar bill came into the possession of the
editor lately, with the following good en-
dorsemcnt from the speech Of Daniel Web
ster, delivered in the Senate Of the United
States, in 1882:
"Of all the contrivances for cheating
the laboring classes Of mankind, none
has been more eff3ctual than that which
deludos them with paper money. This is
the most effectual OF inventions to fertilize
the rich mans field, by the sweat of the
poor mans brow"
As we have the whole of this speech of
Mr.. Webster, we may take occasion to
make some quotations from it in future.
We have it in Gales & Seaton's Register
of ofDebates-unquestionable authority with
wings.
