the great Pacific Railroal.
bsay~ The Register says "Let the truth
be toll." Wonder who it expects to
get to write for its columns?
We are involun,arily forced to suspect
the veracity Of ,ha, man, whoever he
may be, that upon the least misun'lcr'
standing, (or even as with the Register,
upon bare difference Of opnion,) cries
out "f,lschool," ""untrulh," and various
other absurd and vulgar cplhets, that
are always at hand with class Of would
be notablcs, as a sort of knock down
argument, when their fund Of "amuni.
ton" has failed. We like TO conform
TO the society we are in, in our acts and
conversation, as far as possible without
sacrificing that sense Of proprlety that
should attend every n,..but so far as
credit or honor is to be obtained by such
a display Of coarse and vulgar cpi,hcts
as occasionally grace the editorials oI
the Register, we say OF ,Ecir author,
ave leave him alone in his glory
Here are two paragraphs that will il
Iustratc the point. That paper publish
es our remarks where the Times Of las
week says ",hc Temperance Convcn
tion Of this state pledged its members tc
raise fund of $4,000 to send ou, spca
kers for the purpose of harmonizing ,h'
conflicting views in this state"
Then the Editor Of the Register, will
all the pomposi,y ofhis peculiar respon
sibility, adds: "Now this is a most un
warran,able st, teinent, and absolutely
false" and says: 1.-THE call (or this fund
is stated in these precise words, to wit
a fund to dcfray the expense Of a thor
ough canvass Of all the counties, /
practicable, before the approaching e
lection in October, TO secure the choice
Of Maine Law Legislature by the Pco
ple." Now il this docs not confirm ou
statement. then we are not judges Of th'
meaning Of wcrls, and Of the facts a
they exist. ri is no. by harmonizinl
conflicting views that they expect Il
elect Maine Law Legislature, then i
must be that majority Of the people o
Ohio arc opposed to temperance, an'
consequently either dfunkards them
selves or the advocates Of drunkenness
in others! A proposition SO manifestly
absurd, unjust. and opposed to the facts
IN the case, that wcdoubt lot the sanguint
editor Of the Register will himself aban
don it when properly considered. Then
If there is not majority Of the voters o.
Ohio either drunkards or adyocats o.
drunkenness, and every sane man know.
there is not, there must be conflicting
views entertained by temperance men
or il would need no such effort TO secure
the election Of a Maine Law Legislature

STATE ELECTI0y.
Senator c hase's Speech In this Place.

Saturday evening We had the pleasure
Of listening TO speech from our distin'
guished Senator, S. P. CuAsE, who in o
few lucid propositions demonstrated the
truth that there are but two great classes
Of IDEAS on which political organz tions
can permanently combine--one comscr.
vatire, tending TO create and sustain mo-
nopolies, and class legislation, and thus
foster the pcrpctuily Of casles in society,
basel on special privilege-the Other
progressive, tending to improvement and
equalization. He traced with clcaTness
the rise and ultimate triumph OF the pro-
gressive, or democratic class Of ideas
based upon individual rights, and tend
ing 10 their preservation. He regarded
the legitimate powers OF government
merely as a means 10 secure those rights
with which all men ore invested at thei
creation, leaving industry and capital tt
take car, of themselves. His style o
speaking is unexcep,ionab|c being plain
arsumen,ative aud forciblc, illustra:in,
his principles, at the same time cvincin!
that tolerance for the opinions Of other
that ever characterises noble spirit
In the Senate Mr.. Chase has advoca
ted the Land Reform bill, AMI is cn,;tle,
to the credit of having reduced to piac
tical usefulness the conflicting PROPOSE
tions for the exploration of the route 70
the great Pacific Railroal.

TAKE MY HAT.

Every one sas heard this phrase, but few,
we fancy, know it's origin. One of our ex-
changes gives an account of it which is GOOD
enough to be true. 1t runs as follows:
About nineteen years ago, fne-looking
old gentleman from western Virginia enter
ed a store in Nashville, Tennessee. sSaid
store was owned by bluff, honest old ira
der, who knew great deal more about the
quality of the liquor sold at the back end Of
the counter than he did about the fi.,eness
OF the fabrics at the other, nevertheless be-
tween the two extremities Of that shelf,
continuing to make both ends very comfort
ably meet the necessity of the case The
old Virginian cast his eyes around the
shelves and finally remarked:
"Well, neigbbor, see you hev got hats"
GA slight sprinkle" was the answer; and
then followed the query, "Whar yer FROM"
cold Virginia" was the response.
fright smart old state," replied the Ten
nesseean, "but getting rather too old to
keep her har on"
"What do you mean % inquired the Vir-
ginian.
"Well, just what 1 say, uncle: it can't
keep her har on-for instance, now, should
think you hev been right healthy child for
the Old Dominion, but she has she'd you at
last, and like Samson of old, that's the way
see is losing all the best har off her venerable
head"
The old Virginian looked around the store
rather bothered with the liberty this Ten
nesscean was taking with his mother state,
and finally remarked:
81 came here to talk about hats, stranger,
and not har''
"Well, we'll, uncle, don't get wrathy now.
l was only venturing political opinion
about population in general, and on that
head we won't quarrel but before we look
at the hats, as they are intimately connected
with heads, 'spose we take mite of bald
| face
The proposition was agreed to, the liquor
was imbibed, and next followed the hats.
The merchant tossed down four or five wool
hats of various sizes, and invited the old
gentleman to select one which would fit him.
He looked at them, examined the sizes, said
they would do. and requested the storekeeper
to hand him down few more
"That's all the sizes I've got," said he,
'but here's few more if you think you'd
like 'em BETTER" and so saying he tossed
down three more.
''Them are all right" said the old vir-
ginian, turning them around, and the stout
old storekeeper, blowing with exertion, de-
scended from his perch, where he was
straddling from shelf to counter AS soon
as he reached the floor, the old Virginian
remarked that he had not got enough yet.
''Oh, you want 'em for y.ur niggers?''
says the storekeeper. "Well, why didn't
you say so when l was up?" and again
proceeded to perch himself up like mer-
camille Colossus. When he blowed himself
into his former position, the old man quietly
Remarked:
"Why, warn't talking any thing about
niggers!''
The fact is, the old man was rather en-
joying the extra trouble he had put the
| TenneSSean to.
"Well, what do you want with so many
| hats 90
