candidate for Congress in the 10th dis
trict. Mr.. Kidwell is gentleman of fine

faithful representative of the interests Of
Western Virginia. We congratulate the
Democracy of that district upon the Sc

for the coming Congressional canvass, and
bespeak for the doctor an election by a
triumphant majority. We learn also
that he has entirely recovered from his
late indisposition, and now enjoys unusu-

half of large amount of money collected
for violations of the revenue law, in the
shape OF penal duties. was about to be di-
vided among the officers of the customs
at the several ports of entry. This is the
first step of the new administration to-
wards checking the spirit of Galphinism
that ran riot during Gen. Taylor and Mr..
Fillmore,s management. The people eve

Our Foreign Affairs.


We hope and believe that the foreign
affairs Of the United States will be ma
naged with more firmness and manliness
for the coming four years, than they
have been during those just past. war o,
no war. As valuable as is peace to this
and every other country, it is purchased
too dear when bought at the price of ma
tional dishonor. We copy the following
from Washington correspondent ofthe
Baltimore Sun
The discussion of the foreign policy of
this Government, and especially in re-
lation to the British interference in the
Central American affairs, was renewed
in the Senate to-day by Mr.. Mason The
position which he holds in that body as
Chairman of the committee of Foreign
Affairs, gives to his views, at this time the
utmost Importance. Il viii be assumed,
that whatever he says, will express the
views of the new administration.
The responsibilities of power tend gee
nerally to a cautious policy, but It cannot
be doubted that the present administra-
ton have assumed and will maintain a
much higher tone in regard to foreign aft
fairs than has been heretofore DONE
They are particularly pledged to redeem
the country without delay. from the al
lodged dishonor resulting from the timor-
business ofthe late administration.
The speech of Mr.. Mason to-day was
chiefly confined to reply to Mr.. Clayton
upon the single point heretofore made by
NJ IL. IL -. 81 -
jurisdiction of Guatemala. Ifso. British
Honduras is in Central America, over
which, Great Britain has. by her treaty
abandoned any jurisdiction. Besides,
the extension of her pretension from that
of transient and limited to permanent
jurisdiction, is of recent date; and is an
aggression upon the rights of Central
America, and inconsistent with the Mon
roe doctrine, and our future peace and
safety. E.ya 9
The possession of the Bay of Islands is
also another act of open aggression, and
we have just received advice of fresh
aggression in the same quarter. Mr..
Mason closed his speech with solemn
declaration that England had gone as far
as she could be allowed to go in her ag-
gressions upon Central America, and that
this continent, and the whole continent
must be made free from British aggres-
sion. He alluded to and accepted the
alternative ofwar in preference to any po-
Icy that would jeapordize national safe
ty and national honor.
Thus we are drawing nearer to an is
sue deprecated by some. but desired by
many, between :. Young America" and
old England
MIR. Douglas late speech also repre-
sents fully the policy of Young Ameri-
Ca" and calls for immediate action, and
it is considered as fair reflection of the
sentiments of the Inaugural.
The British Government, as we learn
from late proceedings in the New Found
land Legislature. are solemnly pledged to
enforce their extreme construction of the
Convention of 1918. in regard TO the fish
cries, and we know also that they will not
abandon their occupancy of the Bay of
Islands. War is therefore inevitable
within a year; and perhaps a state of
things may arise that will demand an ex-
ira session of Congress during the sum
mer.

RESOLUTIONS AS ARoYE.

On Saturday. the 99th day of January,
1853, the ladies OF Carrollton, held a mec-
ting for the purpose ofendeavoring to pre-
vent the sale of ardent spirits in this town.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted $500 80 rac.i baG
Besol0ed, That it is not less our duty,
than 1T is our high privilege to extend ali
the aid and influence in our power, for
the purpose of DISCRIMINATING the LIQUOR
traffic.
RESOLVED, That we will not encourage
or patronize any person. let his occupa-
ton be what 1t may, who is opposed TO a
well organized Temperance Sociaty, and
who will make use of ardent spirits.
ReSOlOed, That we will not patronize
any merchant in this town who keeps or
sells any kind of intoxicating drinks, il
known TO us. 4h liff
ReSoloed. That we will not enter n store
where we will be met with the perfume
of alcohol. !I
ResoIUed. That a copy of these reselu-
tlous be left at every business house in
this town, and handed to every profess
sional gentleman gratis. ,s-aua
Bah The ladies had better be mt home
attending to their children; or. If they
have none. preparing themselves to be
worthy of that honor. They have per-
feet right to refuse to marry whom they
please, and trade where they please, but
the public street is the last place we wish
to see our wife, mother. sister or daughter
exercise her influence. m aE sEes

A ToUcH OF NAruRE---A car full of
passengers recently passed over the wes-
tern hallroad, in which occurred n simple
but touching scene, worthy Of record
One OF the passengers was a woman car
rying in her arms chiIdiswho annoyed
every one with its petulance and cries.
Mile after mile the passengers bore the
infiiction ofits noise, which rather increa-
sed than diminished. until at last il be-
came almost furious. and the passengers
nearly so. There were open complaints.
and one man shouted-rTake the child
out" The train stopped at a station,
when an old man arose and made the sim
pie statement that the father of the child
had died recently, away from home. that
the mother had been on a visit to her re-
lations, and had died while on the visit.
that her dead body was on board the
tram, and that the child was in the arms
OF woman who was a stranger to him.
1t was enough, There was a tear In near
ly every eye. and all were melted into nj
~ and patience. All selfishness was lost
IN thinking of the desoIation of the poor
little wanderer. who would have found n
warm welcome in the hands that a mo-
ment before would have visited il with a
blow.-ISpringtfeld ,eep, Il .s.t,'g,-,
