INDEPENDENCE.

Every day we receive new papers, or
old ones coming out under new auspices,
which boldly abjure all sorts of leading
strings, and repudiatc alldictation but that
Of truth and conviction. INDEPENDENT
Is their motto. The times seem ripe for
developing this fruit. Not many years
ago. and one could not find a paper but
was supporting this or that party, clique,
sect, society, organization, or some cs-
tablished order Printers and editors
Thought they could not get a support I'M
less they became the organ, or mouth
piece of this or that ''respectabllity." But
now men are learning that good, bold,
Independent paper, that shall deyelope
only the individual making it. if tits alive,
and up with the times, will SELL be pop
ular. and exert healthy influence. And
oh the sense Of freedom that is felt in
this position compared with the old har-
ness.
We bid the movement God Speed.
We hope to see the day when all papers
shall be as independents individuals, and
dcyeIope the same healthy growth OIL
manitY.-p.

SENATOR WALKER.

The Meas publishes the Speech of Sen
ator Walker against the Nebraska Bill
The essence and point Of it is good but
it is too fawning, and coaxing, and whced-
ling in tone, too afraid ofofending South
ern Senators, to suit our taste. We like
to see hildness, coupled with firmness,
all avoidance of denunciation, but we do
not like to see man act as if he was afraid
to call his soul his own. Senator Walker
opposes the bill, and says good word
against the denunciation heaped upon
Senators Chase and Sumner, for which we
thank him. but we wish he could have
maintained his own dignity and that Of
the State better in doing it.-D.

Character worth mora than Politics,


We had occasion the other day to men
ton the visit Of CHARLES DURKEE to this
City, his old residence, and to suggest how
well it would be for the State to send him
to the Senate.
Not long since the Madison argus gave
highly complimentary notice of Mr..
Durkee, which we copied, and which we
have since seen copied into almost all of
our State exchanges.
This shows the real worth of Mr.. Dur
kee, and the involuntary tribute paid to
his character. He is the most ultra of
the Radical Reformcrs of the day, a Land
Reformer, Peace Man, and AboIitionist,
and yet IS so good man, that political
opponents join in giving him compliment
tary notices.
There is no man in the State whose
election to the Senate would please so
many, and displease SO few and at the
same time be so able, so true, and so no.

The promise of the Future.

That the Slave Drivers who are now
forcing the Nebraska bill through Con
gress, have Interior designs in view, we
have again and again insisted. But the
proof is now furnished by themselves.
Their organ, the Washington Union,
has been obliged to develop their plans,
in order to rally some hesitant Southern
members to the support Of this infamy.
Hear it. 1t says:
"lf the principles of this bin ended
with Nebraska and Kansas-ifMey did
not mean 10 qppIy to all future ac9uisi-
tioas----THcy did not rally men Of all
sections Of the Union, and prepare
Northern sentiment fer those great
events e0ih achjch the future teems-we
might more fully understand the hest
fancy and doubt Of some Of our South
ern friends. if such doubt and hesitancy
really exist. When Cuba is admiHed
into tile Union, as an the course of
thick coming euents, she as 6o'a,d to be
admitted, and when the South turns TO
the great constitutional party of the
North, already committed to that great
act, for aid and for counsel, let us not
be compelled to find the seats in Con
gr,ss, now occupied by stannch friends OF
the rights of States, filed by Abolition
tionists and Northern Wings, elected to
the National Legislature by the refusal
of the South in the present issue to rec
ognize a grcst principle upon which, in
all time the friends Of the Union might
stand and defy the worst combinations of
Northern fanaticism."

we think it is, small iron rings are sowed

The Eaple

In ancient times the eagle was consid-

of the lightning; and in both ancient and
modern times the eagle has been consid-
cred as the king of birds, and the idea of
the eagle has been expressive of sole or
supreme dominion. Conquerors and kings
have adopted the eagle as the emblem of
despotic sovereignty, and free States, es-
pecially the United States, have adopted
the eagle as emblematic Of the supreme
rule Of liberty.-Potfcc Gazette.
