HINTS TO LOVERS OF FLowERs-A
most beautiful and easily attained show
of evergreens in winter may be had by
very simple plan. which has been
found to answer remarkably well on a
small scale. If geranium branches
taken from healthy and luxurious trees
just before the winter sets in, cut as for
slips, and immersed in soap and water,
they will, after dropping for few days,
shed their leaves, put forth fresh ones,
and continue in the finest vigor all the
way. By placing a number of bottles
filled in flower baskets, with moss to
conceal the bottles, = show of ever
green's is easily insured for whole
season. They require no fresh water.

California; Strong Horse.

The Slavery propagandists in Congress have

case have strength enedgh to bear It, the pros
pective now slave state in Texas, the territorial
bills of New Mexico with the door vide open
Inviting the introduction Of slavery-of Deser-

penalty of fine and imprisonment

The Wing Platform.

The new Wing organ at Albany, the
State Register, has defined the position of
its party in what the Journal Of Commerce
calls an able article" and in the course
of it thus lays down what we are now bound
to consider as the Wing platform
The attempt TO make the Wing party an
Anti Slavery party is not only Impractical
bic, but if possible, would be, according to
Washington and his present worthy success
sor, fraught with the worst consequences to
our country. In its operation upon the
party the movement thus far has been most
pernicious. Beyond all question it lost US
the election of 1874, and well nigh wrecked
us IN 1913. 1t portends nothing but un-
happiness and evil to US in the future. If
there has been any party purpose in the a.
dopion by Wing conventions and legisIa-
lures of Anti-SIavery doctrines, it has most
,ignaly failed. Instead Of gaining the sup
port of the Abolition party, we have received
only their bitert hostility, and time and a.
gain they have given the victory to our
antagonists, even when they know that by
SO doing they would defeat the objects they
professed
As the Register is a new paper, it proba-
bly, feels that ii is making no confession Of
personal hypocrisy in admitting so coolly
that all the Anti-slavery professions ofWhigs
hitherto were only meant as gulls for Apo
lition fiat but we should like to know
how older papers like this betrayal of party
secrets-open secrets though they may be.

CONCEDED AT LAST.

"t is a remarkable fact that every Wing
paper in the country, that sets up the least
claim to responsibility and influence, has
given up the Wimot Pto9iso and fallen back
upon the Democratic Cass platform OF lS49
NON INTERVENTION.
We wish we could induce the Editors of
,heIPiusburgl Ga.ette and Jonrnatto re-
publish some of their Editorials in favor OF
the Wllmut Proyiso, aud forward them To
Washington City to be read by the slave
holders who manage the affairs OF govern
ment We rather think there would be some
talk about stopping supplies 'rPtts6urg
Morning Post.
"There certainly is vast chang in the tone
of the public press on the subject mentioned,
and we must be allowed to say that it is not
confined othe" Wing party" 1.-two years
ago, or one year ago, any Democratic paper
in this part OF the country distinctly and a
vowedly opposed the Wlmot Provlso, they
we're few and far between. We have nc
doubt that many editors, of both political
parties, were less favorable to it than woulC
have been inferred from the tone oftheir re
murks, or what they omitted to say some
deeming expedient to let the wave pass BY
them without attempting to resist it, ant
others allowing themselves TO be borne TEN
porarily upon its bosom, For the sake q
them all, we are glad that this tyranny O
public opinion has come to an end, and tina
they can now speak freely, what their judy
ments dictate journal of Commerce.

knowing the extension of human slayeryto
be the sure fruits of such policy. He
never s,ught for rest, quetness and peace
at the expense of freedom. He did, TO be
surt.. urge sacrifice to maintain the Union
of these States, because he believed the
PURPOSE of the Union 10 be the security and
extension of liberty. So Icing as the govern
ment of the Union is confined to such
purpose peace and harmony may well be
urged but when it is sought by the slave
power to subvert the government OF the
Union from its original intention, and to
turn it into means for the extension and
perpetuty of bondage, quietness and sub
mission and concession can no longer be
ulged with propriety. No one hardly can
doubt that were Washington now living he
would be found amongst those most siren
uous in in opposition TO The slave power
All his sympathies and opinions would lead
him to Join with these who resist the design
Of the Shareholders to usurp entire control
of the national policy. 1t was Washington
let it be remembred, who declared that II
slavery could be abolished, his suffrage
should not be wanting. What an outrage
it is that the language Of one stood by the
cause of infant Liberty in her weakest and
darkest hour, should be quoted to justify
the treachery of the man who has gone over
to the enemy at the height of the contest,
when the battle seemed turning against the
host Of slavery.z;zEsse1 County Freeman.

The Dreadful Disaster on the
Ohio.

We have futher accounts of the loss by
fire of the steamer Belle of the West, on her
way from Cincinnati to ST. Louis. A des-
patch from Madison. Indiana, says" The
steamer was discovered on fire in the hold
about half past ~ o'clock, on Monday
night 22d inst, and was Immediately run
ashore near Warsaw, Illinois, and made fast.
Up to this period the flames had not burst
forth, and the after hatch was opened for
the purpose Of getting water into the hold
but such was the rapid Roadway Of the fame
that all efforts to check them proved fruit
less, and ID few minutes the entire boat
was a mass Of FIRE. The total number of
passengers on board was about 400, among
whom we're two California Compani es aud
81 families, who were removing father to
the West. From the register Of The boat il
is ascertained that over 60 have persisted,
and the probability is that many have been
lost whose names were not enrolled thereon.
Before the passengers could get out Of their
state-room after the FIRST alarm, all commu.
nication between the after cabin aud the
forward part of the boat was cut off, and all
were compelled either to jump into the wa
ter or TO perish in the flames At the tim e
of the deck falling in, lady aud gentle
man, with child, were standing between
the chimneys, There we're on board large
number of horses, which we're mostly burn
ed TO death; the reminder we're so badly
} burned that they were killed to put them
out Of misery.

The Louisville Earthquake

The Louisville papers, of the 9Th instant,
all speak Of shock of an earthquake felt
in that city, on the previous evening. The
Louisville Courier says: ga,
Last evening about FIVE mittutes past eight
o'clock, the shock of. an earthquake was
distinctly felt all ovet the city. We were
in our sanctum writing at the moment and
the building vibratcd aud trembled for the
space of twelve or fifteen seconds, to such
degree as to cause Us to experience sensa,
ton similar to the shock Of sudden dis
charge of heavy artillery, combined with
claps of thunder or the rumblihg and iatring
of dozen stage coaches rafting by The
shock was SO violent Ii! MANY portions of
the city, as TO create considerable alarm,
and the inmates Of various houses precipi-
lately fled to the streets in the utmost con-
fusion.

The National Era, and other leading Free
Soil papers, propose that National Free Soil
Conrent'on shall be holden Oh the 4th Of July
next, or at least sometime within the ensuing
summer. In reference to this subject the Port
land Enquirer remarks
But National Convention we must have;
ard we must have it this year. and before the
present tession Of Congress closes. The call
must embrace all who are opposed to slavery as
moral and political evil. and who have deter
mined net merely to prevent its extension, but
to remove it where it can constitutionaiIy be
done. The call, too, should make special refer
ence to full discussion Of the exact character
of the Constitution as guaranty Of liberty and
as opposed to slavery Ga this subject there is
great diversity of opinion, ard much anNety
and it it be in the power of the great minds OF
this Union, who are duly impressed with the
idea of liberty, to relieve the whole difficulty BY
accurately explaining the nature and design Of
the Constitution, they surely will not fail to be
