SIGNING PETITIoNs.-A vast amount OF
mischief is done by the inconslderate case
with which many allow themselves to sign
petitions for all sorts of things. The New
York Evening Post has the following para
graph:
"We have heard of bet having been
offered and won by the party offering it, that
twenty respectable signatures could be pro-
cured in the city Of Albany. to a petition to
have the Rev. DIR. Sprague of that city, hang
ed. Reckoning on the carelessness and good
nature of his acquaintance, the sportsman
got his list compete in less than half day,
and then, for Odds offered to get the Rev
Doctors own name to head the list. The
peorson who took the bet, however was alarm
ed, and declined to increase his risk.

INSULT TO AN AMERICAN MINIsTER.-It
is stated that the U. S. minister in Madrid
was grossly insulted, no doubt on account Of
the Cuban affair, at an entertainment given
by the Prince de Carrini, the Neapolitan
minister The insult was offered by General
Narvaez in the presence of all the diplomats
in Madrid. AS the story runs, the American
ambassador approached Narvaez in the ball
room, to salute him; but the latters shouted
out at the top of his voice Il will not have
anything to say to one who represents a ma
ton that harbors pirates and encourages pub
lie felonies." Having uttered these words in
a tone loud enough to be heard all over the
loom, Narvaez turned his back upon the
American plenipotentiary, who was at once
''cut" by all the Spanlards present.
As the Spaniards seem disposed to turn
their backs upon our minister, they may if
they carry their insolence too far. find occa-
sion TO turn the said backs still more uncere-
moniousIy upon our soldiers.-l Lou. Journal.

RAIL ROADS IN THE WEsT.-Ths rapid
progress of the great leading links of rail-
road from the Atlantic cities west, gives those
links which are necessary to connect them
with each other, or with the Mississippi, the
mediate goal of all, an Importance which
they would by no means possess, but, for the
relation they thus sustain. The great trunk
lines from New York, Philadelphia and Bal
timore are certain of being speedily construct
ed 10 the western line OF Indiana. Illinois
now presents obstacles 10 the construction Of
roads upon routes demanded by the business
of the country, but these obstacles we are
confident will soon be removed, and her cili-
Zens allowed to build these works wherever it
shall be for their interest to do SO.
The completion of the New Y ork and Erie,
the Pennsylvania central, and the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads. will give an increased i'm
pulse to the lines which are to carry them
forward to the father Of waters. as they will
find it for their interest to extend the neces-
sary aid for their speedy construction.

For The Journal

" Union, Harmony, ConceSsion-Ererything
for the cause, Nothing for Men,"
In pursuance of call, made by about
twenty-five Democrats of the County, for a
Democratic Mass meeting for the purpose of
uniting on one candidate for the Legislature,
a number of Democrats and whigs-the lat
ter likely to witness the reconciliation Of the
Harmonious cy''--assembled at
the Court House, in this City, on Saturday
evening.
After patient endurance of several hours
silence; and after the immaculate +. y. *****.

able "Stephen Chds,'' the unassuming ***-

actually been called Renegade Whig."-
He hoped the meeting would see his unit

appoint some person in his stead. mo ap-

Mr.. o. " Clark, editor of the Evening
Republican. was then called upon to act as
Secretary, but being a very difRdent young
man, he respectfully declined the honor
stating that he had never acted IN that ca
pacity and consequently had not the neees-
sary experience Mr.. *** was then appealed
to o fill the vacant post, but was compelled
to refuse the nomination, beca use, not antic-
ipating the offer of such an honor, he had in
advertantly left his spectacles at acme and
his natural eyes were not good. No further
efforts were made to elect "a Secretary.
The meeting-now so handsomely organ
zed-relapsed into its former state Of que-
tude, for 10! among them were no orators
no apostles of reconciliation. Mr.. j. X. ****,
who had promised to deliver Numbering
Philippica against Native Americanism, was
not there. Messengers were dispatched ai-
ter him, but the man of promise could not be
found. Ceaser's garments! what were the

and harmonious gathering together of the

Eti0uette OF tne Railroad.

The journal of Commerce" is discussing
the etiquette of Railroad cars. 1t argues
that as a passenger pays for but one seat,
any one has a right to take seat beside him.
Gentlemen being seated. it says, ought not to
be called upon to vacate their seats to ladies,
or anybody. and yet it is demanded as
right. No offence ought to be received it one
should refuse 10 surrender MS privilege
The Journal says:
In hot summer day, gentleman secures
a seat on the shady side of the car, which
chances also to be the windward side. A
gentleman and lady, or two ladies' after
wards enter the car, and coveting his COM
paratively cool position, invite him to give up
his settee for their benefit, and to take va
cant one on the sunny side, which they
might as easily have taken themselves: had
they been disposed Is that civil invita-
ton and, If so, does civility require him to
comply?
How far gentlemen will yield their "reserv-
ed rights" for the benefit of the fair and those
who accompany them, each Individual
must determine tor HIMSELF and his decision
will very likely depend upon his good nature
at the moment. which again may depend up
on the state of his nervous system, and that
upon the circumstances of diet, sleep, &c
If, therefore, ladies desire to see a regular
stampede when they enter the car, it is in
dispensabe that they keep the gentlemen in
good humor at home. All gentlemen are
more or less under the influence of the ladies,
and should be so brought up IS to be civil
without obsequiousness; and the ladies should
learn 10 receive favor with thankfulness,
and not as a right. Some of them, we are
sorry to say, are perfect Doors in this matter,
and deserve 10 be dealt with on the princi-
pies of reciprocity.

The ComprOmise--1ts Opposition.

The compromise question remains unset
tied. Although there seems to be an abate-
ment in the heat of its discussion, still its OPP
position is of a firm, able and unfinc hing
character. Its opposers, aware oil their ina
bility TO set the measure aside summarily
have resorted 10 other means to secure, if
possible, its defeat. They assert and at
tempt to prove, that if the Bill pass, it can
and will be amended at some subsequent
Congress that there will be no solemn COM
pact in the case, and that consequently il
cannot remain undisturbed that its provis-
ions, although they may serve to quiet the
agitation of the country 70. awhile, cannot
restore permanent satisfaction, and that at
tempt alter attempt will be made until the
~faults are remedied.
There is we think a strong probability that
the question will be settled If so, the decis
ion will be respected. 1t will be a solemn
covenant between the North and the South,
and equally binding on each. No one we
presume will attempt to mar the quiet of the
country by provoking alresh the agitations
which the passage Of the measure will calm
Our Union has already been jeopardized, our
free institutions alarmingIy threatend, and
the existence of our Republic endangered by
the heated discussions which the measure has
received. May the past, then, serve as {
warning, and no one endeavor TO arouse the
excitement of the people, by appealing 10 thu
slumbering passions of Northern ultraists o
Southern fanatics. Palsied be the tongue o
him who does.
Should the Compromise Bill pass, the gooc
sense of the people will frown down the at
tempts which dissatisfied politicians may
make to appeal it.

A LOCKER ON.

DA very free discussion is going on in
relation to the freedom of religious worship,
which is forbidden by the constitution of
Mexico. The champion of religious freedom
and. the natural rights of man, not only to
entertain what opinions they please on that
subject, but to worship God according TO con-
science, is the editor of The Monitor Repub-
licano. The existence of such a public dis
cussion forms of itself an epoch in Mexican
