A writer in the True Democrat of Wednesday
last has an article headed +" Distinction of Color,
in which he complains at the prejudice manifest
ed by the whites against the negroes in refusing
to worship together, and to send their children to
the same schools, &c. g But" says he, ego to
the 5ar-room, and the grog-shop where sinners
meet for the service of sin and satan, and there
all colors are together, drinking, smoking chec-
ing, s,cearing, fighting, &c. All distinction Of
color is forgotten" Therefore, because the dis
solute and abandoned associate with the negro
all distinction on account of color should be abol
ished, and state of perfect equality, social and
political, established between the races, and they
should be welcomed to our hearthstones and fam.
lily circles. There must be no impediments thrown
in the way of the amalgamation of the races, fol
these are all cut the result of prejudice! 30

Liberal Democrats.

The Free Soil organ that few weeks since came
down on the Democratic party particularly, and
abused the Legislature, denounced the crowbar
law, and gave glory to corporations for the space
of three weeks; comes out in an article under the
head of LIBERAL DEMocRATs," and coolly asks
Democrats to go over and participate With the col
ored Democracy. Cool, isn't it! In the same
number is the following: ~ sssa5 IF zs.4.i.
0E7-lThe following remarks from the Medina
Wing, are characterized by tandor and frank
ness worthy of all commendation. This is the
spirit in which to meet successfully the present
crisis,s and we cannot doubt that these common
sense views that this liberal and catholic spirit of
the Medina Whig, will find ready response in
the breasts of the people generally. -.
From which article we extract the following:
aThe Free Sellers of the State are as firm
friends Of sound paper currency, and as decided
enemies of all the sferow bar" operations of the
present dominant party of Ohio as the Whigs--
determined in their opposition to the
and peculations of the last Legislature, Shall
they then, fritter away their strength and allow
the common enemy to triumph from mere dog
ged adhesion to party nanaes!' 8
! The sentiment embodied in the last paragraph
is adopted by the editor Of the Star, in the first,
and admitted TO be the true position of his party
on that point; and to embrace which Democrats
are invited by the Star in the same number. ssa.

Obsolete Issues.

The Star alleges. that, DID issues are confess
edly obsolete and dead. The emoluments of of
fee, alone exist as an object (and how sordid a
one} of contention between the old parties" 8
That comes with good grace from Free soir'
organ. A party that never was suspected of hav-
ing any principle; but are willing to unite with
the Wing, Democratic, Temperance, Women's
Rights, Millerite, Spirit Rapping, Norman, Dis
unionst. or any other party that will enable them
to get the ascendency. They arenot particular
where their assistance comes from, they are will.

about the loaves and fishes, and like the disconso-

qusites to principles and if it had any of the latter
its organ dare not discuss them. s.5 i aS.i@f

Col. Benton and the Pacific Road.

The Colonel has been speaking at Kanzas upon
the Importance of the central route, to survey
which a party was about to leave for the plains
and mountains west. Our readers are familiar
with his opinion on the feasibility and utility o
the route he commends. But the beginning of his
speech is SO CHARACTERISTIC of sOld Bullion thai
i we give an extract: 49,. g~.....-.-.. ,s-
| "CrT1zENs-I come to speak to you on a sub
| ject which concerns you all-whch is above par.

mont and Leroux. came to speak of that route,
and to see small party start to explore it. There

tendent Beale and Mr. Harris Heap young in
years, but old in experience, and well tried in
all the hardships and dangers Of distant and ad-
yenturous travel. The Superintendent has made
above dozen voyages by land or water to Cali
fornia-has been the comrade of Fremont Car
son and other mountain men-has seen all that
mountains and plains rivers and deserts, cold and
heat, savages and wild beasts, can show between
the Mississippi and the Pacific; and triumphed
over all. But that is only the beginning He
has avigated every sea, and traversed every
land-South America as well as North America;
Europe, Asia and Africa; and never encountered
difficulty or danger that he had not a resource
and a courage to meet and surmount. And yet
he is only of an age (2s) when the career of a
heroic life is still ahead. He if a grandson Of
Commodore Truxton, and worthy of his descent.
Mr.. Heap, still younger, also has been in Cali
forna, and seen Europe, Asia and Africa, and
has done travelling in every form in which it
could be, from his mothers cold-you know what
that is-(sigHs of recognition) up by mules and
donkeys to camels and dromedaries; and is very
sorry that he has not a dromedary here now to
skim it at the rate of hundred and fifty miles a
day over the prairies, carrying his masters food
and finding his own. He is the nephew of Com
modore Porter, and worthy to be SO. -.

= GA Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune speaks of the administration as rex-
ceedingly close-fsted,' - and represents them as
very careful in the allowance of claims against
the government. This is q rare virtue id public
officers of late, and the people will be glad to
learn that it is practised by the administration OF
General Pierce. Economy and prudence in the
expenditure of the public money will always be
commended by the people, and to secure reform
in this respect was one of the motives to those
who are now so well conducting it. We have
no fears that their expectations in this respect
will be disappointed. No Galphinism will dis
grace this administration; of that we feel the ut
most confidence. -..s
The Tribune's correspondent gives case in
point A clerk under the late Secretary of the
Interior, named Williamson, acted as the dis
bursting agent of the department, and upon his re-
moval retained $4,000 in his hands, which he
| claimed as commission on the money disbursed
in addition to his salary. There were forty OF
fifty clerks who had similar claims, and who were
postponing the settlement Of their accounts until
Williamson's claim was settled, in the expecta-
tion that it would be. allowed, and thus serve as
precedent for their own. But the new Secretary
Gov. McClelland, determined that he would no
thus be bullied into the allowance of such claims
and he therefore, told Williamson that unless h
paid over the money in his hands, he would Pu
the penal clause of the sub-treasury law to him
This brought him to terms, and he handed owe
the money. This is the true course-the only le
gal and honest course for public officer; bu
very different from that pursued under the lat
Galphin administration. S.-..., H., -.
Cases of similar nature to this are constantly
occurring, and they afford the surest guarante
the public interests in safe hands, and tha
the days of Galphinism are over Concord q

Affairs i'm Mexico,

SANTA ANNA is now at the head of the Mexi
can government. How long he will be permitted
to remain there is difficult to guess his despotic
tyranny is too grevious to be endured even by the
i'll fated Mexicans.
He has disgraced all the officers who surrender
ed to Gen. Scott imposed exhorbitant taxes on
his people, to replenish the treasury, to be again
squandered in extravagant follies appointed a
censor over the press of his country; and signs
his name God and Liberty" in a land where it is
criminal to lisp the word.
That another war will ensue with this country,
is scarcely to be doubted. Santa Anna is desrous
toengaged his people in active service abroad, in
order to distract the attention of the people from
his peculations at home
The administration looks with favorable eve
on the action of Gov. Lane, in relation to the
Mecilla Valley. and there is no doubt but that
this government will maintain its right to the pos
session of that territory. 1''' -
. There is not perhaps, a great amount of glory
to be gained in thrashing Mexico occasionally, but
it does well enongh to practice on.

RumOred DefalcatI0n--HOw is it.
The Washington correspondent of the Nep
York Tribune makes the following statement in
his despatch of June sth: szs -t-'.: :-7-
"An expected imposing development is the
leading topic in political circles to-day. 1t is re-
ported in high quarters that Secretary Corwin,
furnished a Mr.. Minor, of Ohio, about year ago
a transfer draft on New York for 100000 !; the
said Minor agreeing to deposit the funds in New
Orleans within specified time, which he failed
to do. Mr.. Minor was strongly recommended to
the Secretary by Bank or Insurance Company
as a responsible and honorable man.
Minors excuse for non-payment was the fail
ure of the Institution in which he had deposited
the money. Several letters passed between Mr..
Corwin and the parties in Ohio; only 81, 900 has
been recovered, and some Government officers
express the balance will be lost. -st@<'

T Friend HARRIs:-I ask as a favor, as well as
an act JUSTICE that you will insert in your paper
this brief reply to an article which appeared in it
this week in reference to myself, and my paper,
headed "NEurRAL. 3PAPERs,'' and signed "PRO
BONO PUBLICO.''
Your correspondent says the Harpoon published
| by me in this city, is ''six by nine paper-that
he subscribed for it surprising it to be neutral in
politics, but that I informed him in last week s
paper that it is not neutral in anything, (this is
correct) but that is as much Free soil paper as
It is temperance paper.'' (This is mistake,
for 7 did not say any such thing, on the contrary
said explicitly that it is not s'the organ of any
political party or sect. ")
l did say, and say yet that it advocates the SEN
timents contained in the Declaration Of Iadepen-
dence. ssThat all men are created equal, &c. y
Does yonr correspondent object to that! Do all
persons or papers necessarily belong to the Free
Soil party, that sustain that sentiment! AS for
size | find by actual measurement that the pages
of the Harpoon, exclusive of margin, are just 24
inches one way and inches the other smaller
than the Sentiners are. / think your corfespon-
dents organ of ssize'' must be rather small.
Again he says ssthe Harpoon is professed Free
Soil paper, and not Temperance paper" That
old veteran and pioneer in the Temperance cause
in NJ Y, SAMUEL CHAPMAN, former editor OF the
Rochester Temperance Journal gave an editorial no
tice of it from which the following is an extract
ssTHE HARpooN.-This new Temperance, paper
published at Cleveland, is, see, doing good SER
vice in the Temperance cause-uses sharp instru
. ment, and throws it with vigorous arm into the
yitaIs of the rum sharks. We hope it will be
sustained"
| Your correspondent manifests much anxiety il
behalf of the Temperance cause. Glad OF it.
But he does not confne his anxiety to that alone
He also says:
81 warn the Democrats of the Reserve to be OF
their guard, and not be taken in by these Fret
Soil Temperance lecturers, who only make tenn
peranee pretext by which they surreptitiousl!
introduce their Objectionable Free Soil papers
among Wings and Democrats As he eyidentl.
is Democrat, it is really kind in him to NANTES
so much fatherly care for Wings too, for they d.
seem to need political step-father just now; an
I presume he will be good one

river Gilathere to remain SO longas they choose.
at their own cost, or until areqpisiton shall have
been made upon this State for troops, in the event
