The Horn of that Dilemma.

The Republic finds fault with US, for
disappearing of the extravaganza of the
present Legislature, in spnding the PEG.
pies money for the purchase of a large
No. of Green's Reports, FOR the use oil
the members, and pirates Justify about the
horn of dilemma in consequence of a
discovery which they think they have
made, that two of our friends, Cook and
Wright, were the main movers in the
matter. Does the Republic mean TO ad-
vance the doctrine that if '.friends do
wrong, they ought not 10 be blamed."-
Il would seem SO at least. We mean 10
oppose extravaganza, no matter from
what quarter it comes. But we think il
will require Title stronger effort, on the
part Of our neighbors to convince its
readers that two wings have so much
control over large majority OF Demo-
Gratis as TO influence them to squander the
public funds. If this is so we need verv
different material, from that now in the
Legislature. II won't go down gents
Your friends have unlimited control OF
both The Legislative e. executive branches

may, the people will hold them respon-
sible for all that's done; to ask for any
thing less than this, and attempt TO cast
the odium of the majority on small mi.

Gov. rfempstcad's inaugural.

We were somewhat surprised at the
section reported by the Revising Com.
missiohers in relation 10 Corporations
after reading the Inaugural of Governor
Hampstead, who was one of the Com.
missioners. 1t may be, that he voted a.
gainst putting in that section, and was
over-ruled by the good sense of Mason
and Woodwork. Be this as it may, the
Inaugural breathes spirit of hostility
and death 10 all Corporations, and de-
clares with much seeming gusto, thai
they are Numerically opposed to De
mocracy, and TO liberty itself. .
The people need not be surprised,
when they see majority of the House
passing measures destructive to theiI
best interests, while the Governor ex.
horts them to it and gives them their cue,
especially men who never differ much
from their party leaders.

graphIsts OF this country In country has this beau

Gross and Thompson in hazy Edinburgh, Scotland.
The enterprise OF our daguerrean artists is the chief
cause of their excellence. Any one who has seen the
instruments and appliances Of American daguerrean
establishment, and compared them with those Of an
European one, will not fail to note the difference.

81 We learn from the Boston Traveller that a
strange and unusual exhibition off in that city,
at the City Alarshals office, on Monday morning The
Police received orders to unrest, in all parts OF the
city, such persons from actual knowledge they knew
to belong the somewhat fraternity in that
city, who obtain living by illegally preyng upon the
community. Accordingly before noon, delegation
some sixty strong were assembled. They were placed
in the large of the Marshas office, in rows, and
seated fronting the entrance door. Some were well
dressed and of respectable appearance generally, while
others bore unmstakabIe marks of their ways Of life.
Some indignant at this summary deprival of lib
erty; others laughed, and others (probably new be-
ginners in crme) were anxious and frightened. The
exhibition caused large crowd to gather about the
office from motives of curiosity. In the Marshal's pri
vate room, some half dozen well dressed females we're
placed. They known suspected of being what
termed "panel thieyes that is enlicng persons to
houses Of ill-lame, aud then robbing them.
The motive Of the arrest is stated be- to make all
the Police acquainted personally with the thieves and
rogues OF Boston.

ERRATA.-ln our account of the proceedings Of the
Free Soil State Convention, our compostor made us saw
that motion Of Mr.. Alden of Cambridge it was voted
10 appoint nine delegates at large to the National Com
ventIon of the Wing party; whereas, as everybody
who was present knows, the motion was for delegates
at large to a National Convention of the FREE Soil
party. The only excuse he has to offer, is, that il
seemed SO much like of the ol-fashioned enhusias-
tic gatherings of the wing party in other days, and the
meeting was SO filled with the old familiar faces of mem
bers OF the late wing party, that for he forgot
the mutations which the past few years have wrought,
and the word Wing instead of Free Soil, inadvertently
slipped into the composing stick Heaven knows that
there was no desire in that Convention disgrace any
members Of the Free Soil party by sending them to
Wing Convention.
