SFEECH OF MIR. GEO. PARTRIDG f.
OF MISSOURI:

Mr.. Geo Partridge, of the st. Louis Dele
CATION, responded to Mr.. Lowell, in some very
appropriate ramarks, in which he stated that the
people of st. Louis sufficiently appreciated the
important bearing which the commerce of the
Upper Mississippi has on the future prosperity
of that city, and delegation of it's most influ-
entol citizens was evidence of that fact Re
gardng the position which the representatives,
Of Missouri in Congress occupied in this matter,
the communicated already read in the Con-
vention from the Hon. Henry S. Geyer, Sera-
tor, and Jno F. Darby, Representative,
evinced that they were not only favorable TO
the Improvement, but would be active in pre-
sentng our clai ms to the General Govern

INDIANS AT FoRT LARAMIE.-A private let
ter from Fort Laramie, dated the lth of Octo-
Der, says that about three hundred lodges OF
Indians have settled around the Fort. The In
dams had overrun all the fields i'm the vicinity
of the Fort and stripped them of their corn and
all vegetables. They were very imPerious in
their demands for provisions. One of the lndi-
ans drew his gun on a soldier and threatened TO
shoot him if he did rot give provisions to him.
The Indian was arrested and put IN irons. As
the Indians are not making hunt they proba
bly, will be troublesome to the Fort.

An ACT THAT Notwithstanding Of the
character of the Bigler. who has been elected
Governor of California, may be known from a
little incident mentioned to us by friend, who
formerly did business in Pittsburg. IL was d,l-
ring the year of the passage by Congress OF
that law, loudest blessed and deepest cursed oi
any enactment ever made by tho Legislative
power, known as the Bankrupt law, that Mr..
Bigier came TO the store Of our informant and
purchased on credit goods tn the value of four
dollars. 1t was strictly debt of integrity and
one that any honorable man would have obliga-
ted himself to pay, to the sacrifice of his last
shirt. Shortly afterwards, instead Of the mo-
aey, our friend received bankrupt notice to
the amount of four dollars, in payment Of the
debt Gazette.
At his old trade. The editor Of the Gazette
has discovered another rascaiiy debtor. His
mind is ever on the quivive to detect the "pie-
sysne. If there are any who are in debt to
the editor, or his friends, they had better call
At the captains office and settle, or woe to their
reputation. He will find them out and write
their epitaph on the pages of the Gazette
We regret that Governor Bigler, adopted the
Hon. Henry Clays's plan of paying debts, be-
cause it is many degrees in advance of his more
fashionable plan Of issuing ornamental notes,
secured BY real estate probably western swamp
iands) and payable when the specie was at hand
to pay, which e4perienc has taught us to re-
gard a. mighty Eaeerta,n. How could the GA
zette . correspondent rccollect that "foxr dol

memory and keep mighty sharp look out for

be so unfortunate, as to get in debt to hun, we
should expect to pay the amount, or die a try

Posr OFFICE DEPABTMENT.-A private te-
leghraphic despatch received yesterday, says
that fitz Henry Warren, Second Assistant
Post Master General, is now occupying the
pl1cc of flrst Assistant Post Master General,
havinq been transferred to that post. This de-
partment has the charge of the transportation
of the mails, and if Mr. Warren has taken it
in hand we hope he will turn his attention
westward-at least TO portions OF Illinois and
M,ssouri.-St Louis Republican,
A pretty broad hint, from one Of the promi-
nent administration organs, that the mails have
been miserably managed, and when we reflect
that Mr.. Warren, was sent into the West, last
spring to correct these errors, and left them in
worse state than he found them, we entertain but
light hopes of reform.

KossUTu.- Since the first intimation in this
country that there had arisen some unpleasant
differences, between Kossuth and the officers of
the Mississippi, many of the journals of the
country have expressed doubts as to the propri-
ETY. OF Kossuth's conduct, believing that as he
approaches the atmosphere of freedom and be-
gins to realize the universal sympathy in his be-
half he is disposed to lay aside his character as
an exile and recipient upon public favor and as
sumo that of conqueror.
We are inclined to think that the reports
which have reached this country, deprccatory
of the great Hungarian Chief and sterling pat
riot, are erroneous and that we more in
deb,ed to his enemies, than friends, tor these
alarms.
Let public opinion be suspended, until we
are in possession gilmore reliable evidence, than
that which strongly bares the marks OF d'strust,
fear and hatred before we pass final judgment .
upon this distinguished champion aud sufferer
in the cause Of freedom.

Ii will be seen that Mr.. Milner had on the
first ballot within three votes ola majority, and
that on the second be gained but one vote
But on the second ballot Frederick Douglas
lost all but four-the balance, T-voting for
MIR. Hamilton, which with one from some other
quarter made up his number, viz 81. On the
third ballot Mr.. MiIliner's vote was 46-exacty
majority-and only three more than he had
at first, wnile the "Woolly" delegates concen-
trated upon MIR. Hamilton with the exception
of single ballot cast for Mr.. Tucker. Thus it
will be seen that the character of The votes
originally cast for Frederick Douglas, is con-
clusively shown by the direction they eventually
took. While MIR. Milliner gained but three Mr..
Hamilton gained 25--necessarly embracing in
his final number of "A the 81 votes for Douglas.
The figures show the facts of the case to de-
monstraiion.

Nhateyer may have been the dee sion of the
Grand Jury in this case, there can be no earthly
doubt that the acts of these men were treasona-
bic and that were the reigns Of government
in the hands Of those who are not counting
Abolition notoriety and who neither fear the
responsibility of an exercise Of the pardoning
power, or a, rigid enforcement OF the law in
dealing out just punishment for their offences,

and political decorun, which they and their
friends would not soon forget.

grave offence We are in pursuit Of knowl-

Philosophy of Swimming.

The following rules and reasons, given
many years ago, by Elzur Wright of
Boston, ought to be republished every
summer in every newspaper of the land,
No branch of education has been so
much neglected as this. Man is the only
animal which does not swim naturally.
He sinks in deep water from the size Of
his brain when not properly exercised
That Is TO say, the weight of his brain
above his nose sinks that organ a liuIe
beneath the surface, when he is in an
erect position, before his body diSpIaces
It's weight of wafer and thus finds an
equilibrium. With the nose under, one
must breath water and drown. But when
the brain comes 10 be exercised enough
to throw the head back and the nose 10,
pointing TO the very zenith, and YOU keep
hands and feet carefully under water,
then by the eternal laws of hydrostatics,
the nose will continue above water, and
the person will float like an empty bottle
which is so balanced as to keep its mouth
uppermost No human being can sink
in still water of any depth, lying on the
back, with hands and feet under water.

Gambling,

Let every man avoid all sorts Of gamb-
ling as he would poison. A poor man OF
boy should not allow himself even to toss
up haIfpenny, for this is often the be-
ginning of habit Of gambling: and thisru-
nous crime comes on by slow degrees
Whllsta man is minIing his work, he is
playing the best game, and he is sure TO
win. A gambler never makes any good
use Of his money, even if he should win.
He only CANDLES the more, and he is often
reduced TO oegcary aud despair. He is
often tempted to commit crimes for which
his life is forfeited to his country, or per-
haps he puts an end, himself, 10 his mis-
cradle existence If gambler loses, he
Injuries himself; if he wins, he injuries a
companion or a friend. And could any
