FREMoNr AND BENroN.---1'ho
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Clipper, referring 10 the
defeat of the Benton party in Missou-
ri, gives rumor that Col. Fremont,
the son-in law of Benton, VIII proba-
bly, resign his seat in the California
Senate, 50 as togive Benton a chcncc
of being elected to the Senate from
that State QO We had suspected
that the old man was looking to the
back benches as his best chance. We
trust California will not elect him,
though we confess the fact that she
has Bear upon her State Arms, is
ominous ofsome such result. 1t will
be some satisfaction however, to have
driven Old Bullion beyond the Rocky
Mountains. His next step, we trust,
will be the Sandwich Islands, and
so on to China, the only people whose
arrogance and self conceit are
match for his -Ccastitutionnhst
Too BIG A BooH!-A man buying
about to purchase young horse,was
fearful he might prove skittish, S the
phrase is; and in order to test his
sondness, or strength of nerve, direc-
ted his boy to go little way off, be-
hind the next corner, and he would
ride the colt down opposite to him,
when he should start suddenly out,
and cry "booh!'' and if the colt could
stand that, it would be proof enough
of his being firm and well broke.
The boy took his station, and the
man mounted and rode along; but
when he came opposite the corner,
and the boy jumped. out and cried
'boohl" the colt threw him off The
rider picked himself up soon, how
ever, and rubbing his shoulder and
shins, asked the boy what he did SO
for. "Why father" said the boy, "you
told me to say boob" "Yes," said the
old man, "but there was no need of
saoing such big boob to such little
horse"
Encourage your own Mechanics
Do not send abroad for help, if you
have work to do-when it can be
done III your own neighborhood-
perhaps at your next door. En-
courage your own honest, industri-
Gus, faithful mechanics. They need
all the work they can get. BY such
conrse, you keep money at home,
assist the worthy, and haue just as
good work performed. 1t is the on
ly way to make a town prosperous,
to support your schools and churches.
Where there is disposition to send
hundred miles for articles that, to
say the least, could be manufactured
as well at your own door, there will
always be little or no business done
in the place-the churches will be
thinly attended and all kinds of labor
extremely dull. Wherever mechan-
les are the best employed, prosperi-
ty is seen-the social virtues FREEDOM
mate, travelling mounted anks and
pedlers retire in disgust, and kidd.
ly, brotherly feeling is experienced,
which is the source of mspeakable
eapplness.
Whatever you have to be done,
look around and see if your neigh.
bors cannot do it. If you have a
house to build or a shoe to tap, a
harness to be made or pump to be
bored, pack of cards to be printed
or well to be dug, just look among
your neighbors, before you under
take to send abroad, and If you have
none around you capable ofthe task,
it will be time enough to look else
where. 1t is wrong idea to suppose
nothing is sesviceable that is made at
home. We know of many instances
where men have refused to purchase
work made by their neighbors, and
sent to a distant city for the articles
| they needed, and paid third more
for them, when behold, they had been
manufactured and sent away to sell
by the very neighbors of whom they
refused to purchase.
