"MR. EoKLEY ON EcoNoMY. Mr.. Eckley, of
Carroll, is patriot and no mistake. He has
given notice of his intention to introduce q bill
TO reduce the compensation of members of the
Legislature, and other officers. The patriotism
of the Carroll member can be seen in the fact
that the reduction is not to take place until af-
ter Mr.. Eekley returns to his constituents, and
another election is had-in other words, he will
pocket hi' iour dollars a day during the session,
and leavehs successor to draw but two or three.
Mr.. Eckiey finds patriotism an easy thing ,wAen
it puts money in his own and takes ii from his
neighbours pocket."-O. s. Dem.
"Truly said of this man Eckley, Bro. Knapp.
Such me.serving hacks are understood by the
people, and from the last election of MIR. Eckley

USING THE RIGHT BAr-All expert fish
ermen understand the Importance of arnins
their hooks with bait suited to the tastes of
the fish which they expect to catch The
importance of such bait has had new
illustration at Rome, as we learn by the fol-
lowing from the Utica Herald:
Since last spring many of the groceries in
Rome have been denied license to sell whis-
key. This has had very serious effect upon
some of the "bruisers.' Last week one of
this class having by some means secured one
of Bob. Edwards beer bottles full Of the
critter, was carrying it home, when, crossing
the canal bridge, it slipped from his hands
and fell over the side of the bridge upon the
edge of the towing path, and broke in pieces,
the contents running into the canal. The
old chap jumped in and drank canal water
in his desperation until he was drowned.
His body was "raked" for in vain for long
time, until some one suggested the idea Of
" trolling for it. 1t was done in this way:
A bottle of whiskey was attached to the end
of rope and drawn through the water of
the canal. In short time jerk was felt,
and in pulling up the rope Mr.. Bruiser was
drawn up, clasping the bottle tightly to his
lips. He was Immediately cared for" and
will recover, though he had been in the wa
ter over thirty minutes.

Slavery Eternal.

1t is all a halluclnation to suppose that
we are ever going to get rid of African
slavery, or that it will ever be desirable to
do so. tits a thing that we cannot do with
out, that is righteous profitable and perma
nent, and that belongs to society as in
herently, intricately and durably as the
white race itself. Yes, the white race itself
will emigrate from the Southern States to
Africa, California, or Polynesia, sooner than
the African. Let us make up our minds,
therefore, to put up with and make the most
of the institution. Let us not bother our
brains about what Providence intends to do
with our negroes in the distant future but
glory in, and profit to the utmost by what

people did not attend. He made his speech,
which was patiently listened to, and coldly
received. When he had finished the crowd
called Justify for esquire Jones', firm

forward and read series of strong anti-Ne-

HEREDITARY TITLES IN CANADA A.-The
Hon. John Beverly Robinson and the Hon.
Louis Hypolite Lafontaine, chief justices,
respectively, of the two Canadas, have been
created Baronets Of the United Kingdom and
Ireland The Montreal Herald, while ad-
hitting the propriety of acknowledging dis
tinguished merit by honorable testimonials,
says:
1--WE must be permitted to doubt the wis
dom and expectancy of attempting to intro
duce any hereditary titles of honor into
country essentially democratic in all its in
stitutions, political and social. Whatever
honors and distinctions Her Me- jesty may be
pleased to confer upon her Canadian subjects,
we would with the utmost Difference, sug-
gest, should be personal and not hereditary /;
bestowed by advice of her Majesty's Canadian
responsible advisers. That the chief justices
Of either section of this Canada should,
er-oficio, enjoy the rank and dignity of Baro-
net of Great Britain and Ireland, few would
object to but that their descendants should
form socially privileged class, irrespective
of any merits, is principle which as few
will ever consent to recognize. The respect
which we feel for the present reci pients of
Her Majesty's favor, prevents our treating
this eleventh-hour attempt to create hered.-
tary aristocracy in Canada, with the ridicule
which, under other circumstances, we should
have felt justified in doing

SQuATTER SOVEREIGNTY ILLUsTRATED.--
1t has been already stated that associations
have been formed in Kansas territory to reg
ulate the location and settlement of lands.
The " Lawrence Association of Kansas Ter
ritory" have formed government with
view to " the settlement of Kansas by the
free people of the North" We give the
description of this sovereignty" as stated
by one of its members writing from Kansas
Territory, fifty miles west of Missouri:
To-day we proceeded to the election of
officers under our new constitution, with
the following results: For president, d. c.
Robinson, of Rochester, New York; for
ice-president, f. Fuller, Worcester, Mas
sachusetts; for secretary, G. S. Pratt, Bos
ton, Massachusetts for treasurer, L. Gates,
Wore aster; for register of deeds and claims
aud lerk Of the court, L. ID. Ladd Milwau
kle, Wisconsin for surveyor, Scarles, Brook
field, Massachusetts for marshal, J. Grover
Richmond New York for arbitrators, (any
one Of whom to hold court,) j. Mailev,
Lynn, Massachusetts,; Taylor, Boston /;
Bruce. Worcester; for council, Mallory,
Lincoln, Willis, Emery, Tappan, Morgan,
HaSkall, Harrington, Johnson, and Crack
linz,
1t is stated that this party, on the ground,
made an arrangement with another party as
to terms of union, and they now divide pro-
fits in the sale of claims to land, and choice
farm claims were sold to the amount of 81, :
013. After showing the inducements to
speculation, the writer proceeds to state that
"aspirants to the office of delegate to Com
Gress are appearing, among whom is Dun
ham, of Westport, who processes to be in
favor of making Kansas a free State" An
other, on the same side, is Lieutenant al
Fort Leavenworth. 1t is rumored that the
Governor will not order an election this fall
and this is regarded as favorable for the free
party" 1t is further said that nine-tenths
of the Missourians in the territory are op-
posed to the introduction of slavery, but the
writer dlstrusts them.
In regard to The character Of the immigra
ton which has already reached Kansas, the
Kansas Weekly Herald of the 29th ult., says
"A majority of our population up to thi:
time are from Missouri though the prepon
derance is fast diminishing By the arrival o.
people from other States. Pennsylvanians are
probably next in numbers. The immigration
from Massachusetts,, New York, Illinois ant
Iowa. is very great. Indiana and Ohio arr
also represented. The population from Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Virginia and other South
ern States, is very limited. A few from
Arkansas are settled in the southeastern par
of the territory Bait. Amer.
