Give your Chilli a Paper.-A child beginning

cause he reads the names Of things which are We

A newspaper in one year is worth a quarters

slider that substantial information is connected
with advancement. The mother of a family, be-
ing one Of the heads and having more immedi-
ate charge of children, should herself be instruc

would have given hundreds to reclaim a son or
daughter who had ignorantly or thoughtlessly
fallan into temptation.

AUSTRIAN CoMMENrs.-Der Lloyd and the
official Correspondent both devote a column to
the message of the American President; the
former, however, directs its attention chiefly to
the reception given to Kossuth, and the effect
likely to be produced on the policy of the States
by the Hungarian agitator. The writer states
that Koss,lth may think himself most fortunate
if he can amass half the sum raised by Jenny
Lind to retire upon. In the course Of the arti-
Gle the writer gives it as his opinion that Amcri-
ca is too wise to commence a war of aggression
in Europe until she has got lid Of Spain and
England in her own hemisphere, toboth of whom
he kindly accords another half ccntury's enjoy
mcnt of their positions in that quarter of the
globe. The Corresponding is only halfsatifed
with the Presidents disvowal Of the Cuban Ex-
petition, which should have been forcseen and
prevented. As to 'Kossuths reception being
made the subject of parliamentary deHberation,
the Austrian organ consider it not only perfect
ly out of place, but highly offensive to friendly
power, and calculated to produce much evil in
the end, but of apiece with the policy that de-
spatchcd an American agent to the seat Of war
in Hungary. American institutions will have in
the opinion of the writer to 60 through fiery
ordeal ere they can be pronounced sound or wor-
thy Of imitatioH.-iSouM Caroliaian.

President Making.

The wre-pulers have for length of time, been busi
ly engaged in arranging their maneuvrcs and perfect
ing their plans of operation for the beginning OF the
great national game of President making. Visible op-
crations at head quarters give proof that the time is
not long Off before the work will commence openly and
in good earnest As soon the national democratic
caucus meeting for nominating shall have taken place,
then will come the tug of war. The people OF the
States will have to choose between two or more evlsi
either a Democrat Whig. or Frcesoilcr. We pre-
all these schools Of political swndlers will turn

likely that Gen. ". o. Butler, and Senator Douglas,

right wing of the national army the great Demos

but who will receive the nomination of either party l.

General Pierce, Oh Slavery.

A correspondent wishes 10 demonstrate through
our columns with those Wings "'eho oppose Gen.
Pierce account Of his anti slavery Vie,cS" and
asks il he is not entitled to entertain his honest
convictions on any subject, without offence to tho
constitution of his country.
We think the publication OF the article sent ut
would do no good, and therefore withhold it; but
we will cheerfully reply to the writer that we do
not understand the objections urged against Gen.
Pierce to be based upon either his pro or anti
slavery opinions, but upon the well-attested fact
of his duphcity. He stands before the nation nm
avowed Northern man 'cih Southern principles"
while he is seeking popularity in New Hampshire
by assuring his neighbors that he loahes slavery,
regards it as a moral evi, cannot look upon a
slave, sc. This is discrimination, and dissimula-
ton is TREAcHERY The man who will play the
traitor TO become President is not likely to keep
good faith afterward. We would not trust him
