Leading Thoughts.

Not one-not single one-offthe leading
thoughts which now sway the mind OF the
country, is of Wing origin.-[ Wash. Union.
One of the "leading thoughts, which now
sway the mind of the country" is the thought
that the compromise must stand as an ADJUST
ment of the quarrel between the North and
South; and surely the compromise is "Of Wing
origin''-it originated with Henry Clay.
One OF the pleading thoughts, which now
sway the mind of the country is the thought
that the benefits of the pubic lands must be
shared alike by all the States: yet this
thought was opposed and Dattled against for
years by the whole LocoiocO party, while the
Wings maintained it and finally established
it in the minds of all.
One of the ''leading thoughts, which now
sway the mind of the country" in the thought
that internal improvements, such as the clear
National roads, for instance a road to the Pa
cifc, must be undertaken by the General
Government; yet this thought was warred
against for more than twenty years by the
entire Locofoco party, while the Wings main
tanned it and at last succeeded in forcing its
adoption upon their opponents.
One Of the leading "thoughts which now
sway the mind of the country" is the thought
that the United States should not intervene
in the conflicts of the old world; yet it is well
known that the Democratic leaders and Or
gans, only a short time ago. were fierce for
the Republics armed Intervention to regulate
the European and Asiatic dynastieS. while the
whole Wing party insisted, as both parties
insist now. that our country should mind her
own business aud let all other countries mind
theirs.
The truth is, nearly all Of the pleading
thoughts, which sway the mind of the coun-
try" are Wing thoughts. They are thoughts
which the Wings have unswervingly main
tanned, and which the Democracy have at
different times done all in their power to
overthrow.
We really know of but one "leading
thounht," Of Locofoco origin, which is now
"swaying the mind ofthe country" and that's
the thought that the Northern Aboli,ionists
and the Southern Disunionsts are to have all
the Offices of the nation.-[ Lou. Jour.

Old Til mes.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Register
of May, 1927, thus writes:
81 have seen the time when the only boat
that foated on the surface of the Ohio, was a
canoe, propelled by poles used by two persons
one in the bow and the other in the stern.
81 have seen the day when the introduction
of tie keel-boat, with a single roof, was hail
ed as mighty improvement in the business
of the West.
81 remember the day when passage of
four months from Natchez to Pittsburg was
called speedy trip.
81 remember the time when the canoe of a
white man red not be launched on the
bosom of the Allegheny.
.Iremember the day when the borders of
the Ohio were wilderness. aud New Orleans
was literally cut off from the whole world.
81 have Ii, ed to see the day, when a visit to
New Orleans, from Cincinnati, requires no
more pre- paration than visit to neie hborng
county town. l remember when it required
as much previous arrangement as a voyage to
Calcutta.
81 have lived to see STEAMBOATS, of 800 tons
arriving in twelve days from New Orleans at
Cincinnati, and calculate upon living to see
them arrive in ten bays
have lived TO seea number ofsplend:d cities
spring up, where, in my boyhood, nothing ap-
peared like civilization but the hut of the
soldier or of the settler.
Gall these things, and many more, have I
seen, and yet ieel myself entitled to be still
numbered among the young men of the
West"

FREEsoILIsM AND NULLIFIcATIoN.--The
able and reliable Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Patriot, "Patomac," in his
letter of the 25th ult., thus speaks of the an
ticipated appointments by the present adj

The rumor now is that President Pierce
and his Cabinet have decided upon appoint
ing Mr Dix, of New York, the Prince Of
Freesoilism, Minister to France, and Mr.. Dan

The PRESIDENT WITHOUT A SHILLING
The Washington Sun is responsible for the
following:
Not long since, the President, in an after
noon ride with his estimable lady and female
friend, was brought up by the gate upon the
Columbia turnpike, on the opposite side of
the Potomac. His coachman searched his
pockets in vain for the requisite shilling.
The President searched his. But, alas, not
a solitary shilling had they among them.
The toll-gatherer, who is at times annoyed
blythe FRANKS Of the "fast" folks passing his
gate on their way to the trotting course
without holding up to pay toll, began to
think of closing the bar upon the carriage,
when the driver informed him that the gem
tleman inside was the President Ct the United
States, and the gentleman inside made it all
right by promising to pay the shilling when
next he should venture to ride on the Vir-
ginia side.

NEW YORK DEMocRAcY.-We copy the
following paragraph from the Albany Regis.
ter:
1t needs no straining of eyes to discover
"signs Of division. some chance OF rupture''
in the Democratic party. They are near at
hand, palpable to the sight II that runs
may read them. Take our dkn city, and
what exists here is but the type of what ex.
lists throughout the State. TIE Atlas and
the Argus, the leading organs of the Demo-
cracy, stand with their hands ON each others
throats, struggling in the death grapple. No
structures are too stringent, no epithets too
severe to be applied to each other. The
contest is one of life and death, which admits
of no compromise, which will suffer no re-
conciliation; nor do these presses lack sup
Porters. Each has its partizans-each re-
presents an host Of about an equality Of num-
bers-all embittered by hate, and cherishing
towards each other unmitigated and irrecon-
cilable opposition. What is true of this
rs true OF every city and town in the State.

A Model EgOtist.

Gen. Lane of Indiana, whose admirers, i n
the effort to glorify him as the "Marion" O.
the Mexican War, got him nick-named the
"Mary-ann" Of that period, made a speech
at Portland, Oregon Territory, on the 18th of
May telling the people how great man he
was considered at Washington. The follow.
ing IS an extract from the speech as publish
ed in friendly paper:
President Pierce tapped me en- the shoul-
der, and asked me whether | was still deter.
mined TO 60 back to Oregon, to which I re-

mat ne would be highly gratified il would
remain as one of his constitutional aduisers.-
But II was determined to 90 back he hoped
that would accept the Office of Governor nj

Our city is to be lighted with gas in a few
days, and it is an event in the history of the
s.indefnite proeress'' of Evansville that
should not pass unobserved by some sppropri-
ate ceremonies. We do not go in for any
gorgeous display or extravagaht demonstra-
ton, but anything calculated to show that
our hearts are yet as light with that enter
prising spirit which has given us the gas
as our streets will be made by the gas itself.
We also think that Mr.. Keats, the indie.
fatigable President of the Gas Co., is deserv-
ing some public tribute of respect for the en-.
ergetic manner in which he has prosecuted
this great work.

In A PAssroS.-We regret that a little
well intended advice to our exctable cotem-
porary of the Enquirer, should make him for
get even for a moment the ordinary courte.
sizes between gentlemen. We will not
take advantage Of his passion, as betrayed
in an editorial in last evenings Enquirer
Certainly we have wished him happy success
in his new enterprise-so have many other
citizens-bu; ne will no more deserve than
he can secure success, by the exhibition of
60 ungentlemanly spirit as that which char
acterized the article alluded to, and which
we shall most surely not descend to retaliate.
We had supposed Mr.. Hall was allowing
some shallow Drained person to write edito-
rails for him, which were unworthy the man
whose name is at the head of the Enquirer
and which as we told him were well calcu.
lated to injure the paper. After Mr.. H.
reply, we hope he will allow US to take bacl
our advice as by this reply he has convinced
us himself was the author of the editorials
We apologize to third person for Islander
ing his reputation, by mentally imputing &c
him the authorship of the editorials.
