10 The Beloit Journal has an editorial urging
upon the attention of the Directors of the Southern
Wisconsin Railroad various reasons why they
should run their road to Beloit instead of to James
vile. We see nothing very conclusive in the rea-
soning of the Journal, and suppose it will hardly
have the effect to change the established line of
the road. Indeed the editor candidly admits he
expects particular effects from the article.

! To- The letter from the New York Tribune, on
the subject Of Gcrritt Smiths speech and Pres
tons reply, will, we think, be read with interest
and satisfaction. Our philosophy is, that no man
desires TO do what he knows to be absolutely
wrong; on the contrary, the instincts of every man
teach him that the right is best for him. and as he
desires his own interests does he desire the right
And we believe further, that men do not object to
having their wrong doing and faults pointed out
To them; their opposition and objection arises from
the spirit in which it is done, and not from the
thing itself. Our southern brethren desire to en-

Of other ATTITUDES, and quite as willing as 9TH

they as naturally revolt at pharasaica pretensions
and dcnunciatiOns, as do others. There are none
Of us pure--no not one. Chattcl Slavery is but
one manifestation of wrongs which fill the earth,
and i'll which we all have more or less completely

evils, and therefore demands more immediate ac-

would seem 10 be necessarily required on the part
of those dealing with it, who have an abundance
correct. We are all brethren with a common in
tcrcst and a common destiny. The righteousness
OF the best of us, is nothing to brag of, and the
wisdom Of the most enlightened is not far removed
from gross darkness. The best we can all do is
to charitabiy aid each others feeble steps, in the
hope and confidence that we shall reach a higher
knowledge and clearer light, and enjoy its better
fruits The gst of all this, with reference to the
thing in hand Is, that we think Smith is the MAJ
to the ear of the SOUTH because of the pre-
valcnce in his nature of the feeling and sentiments
alluded to. He comprchcnds the true state of this
questions full of the very essence and spirit of
christianity, has a presence which Involuntary
commands respect and love, with smile and voice
that attract and win like q mothers Congress
win be much the better for the presence Of Gerrit
Smith, and we have confidence that he will do
much toward bringing the people of all sections
into harmony of action, TO rid the nation of an
evil which Injuries ALL but most those who more
Immediately sustain it, and are connected with it.
CRUsHISG OUT.-We perceive some of our
Southern brethren are rampant to have the Presi-
dent and his man Caleb proceed with more zeal,
in their labors in crushing out Free Sosm, among
the people of the nation. There is no safety, they
say, for Rcpublicansm, until Slavery is by univer
sal acclaim recognised as its corner stone, and the
arch Of this Union they insist upon it, is in danger
of incontincnty tumbng to fragments unless the
keystone of Slavery is more firmly wedged III. If
Mr.. Pierce were in condition to profit by our adj
vice, it would be that this job which he has assu-
med and which his Southern supporters want to
see finished up without delay, had better be let
ont. That he can crush Free Sosm ont of his
office holders and expecants of Office, and the few
timid toadys 10 authority and power that all lands
arc afflicted with, we have no doubt. He can
crush it out, he can crush it in, or he crush
out of or into his dependents any other sentiment
or idea, or notion he picaSes until they get new
MASTER but after he has done it, it is the very
smallest kind of a matter and is without the slight
est pcrccpdblc influence upon the nation. Only
about one man in a hundred can get, or wants or
expects TO feed out of Mr.. Picrcc's hand and how
his crushing process is to reach the balance puz-
llcs us. We believe he either has or intends to
froTo upon those he can't conveniently take by
the collar, but we confess to an entire skeptcism
rs TO that mode Of g crushing" We think the
President has got decidedly hard case, regular
adamantinc on his hands and we suggest to his
Southern friends not to punch him up to too ac-
tive cndeavors, lest he .f.im We possess our
souls in patience for the d" crushing" process to
pass this way.
% JOHN MlrcuELL, the Irish Refugee, is
being pretty severely handled by a large number
of the newspapers fthe country, principally dem
ocratic, for some illusions made by him to the
Secretary of State in his speech at the late ban
quet in his honor at New York city, The objec-
tionabc remarks are contained in the following
passage:
perceive that the Secretary of State at Wash
ington in his last note to the Austrian minister
courtesy, has taken care TO warn all adventures
aud SediIious rropagandiStS, that the United State;
viii IN nowise sanction protect them, if they en-
gage IN fraudulent Vaccinations for disturbing the
internal quiet of other nations and he further de-
clareS that the United States will do as much as
any OF the European powers to promote tranquil
ity.' In all OF lhis there seems to me- confess
more 2t comfy toTardS the Scesered coaSpira;orS Of

Our opinion is that Mr.. Mitchell i, wrong in
the matter, and for want of reflection or judgement
has seriously impaired his strength and standing
in our midst. If the converse OF Marcy's PROPOSE
ton is the one for our government, as Mitchell
seems to suppose, we should have the world on
our hands or backs very soon, and put an end very
shortly to all our ability for good. We may hope
that Mitchell spoke unrchectingy or that his Ian
