wholesome advice to its party 1t them against put

When Northern Democratic journals thus mstrust The
Administration on this subject, Wing journals may be ex.
cused from placing much confidence in its professions
yet while. We have i, sacrifice the best men OF
the Democratic party, for the sake of conciang the
avowed enemies Of Southern Institutions In the Ian
guagc OF the National Deul5era. -"An Admins
istiaon which has proved recreant to SO many OF H.
pledges, which has thrown aside the true men of th,
country TO heap reward upon the heads Freesolers ant
party traitors, which seems to be without stability aud
guided by the chances and whims of the hour nav wei
be doubted"
We find those Democratic organs at the South to b,
among the loudcs in their advocacy of this bill which
were most jealous in their defence of the Free-so sym
pathes Of the Administration. Alcr aiating with tho
leaders of the Freeso party in the distribution OF the
power and patronage of the Govcrnment-ready to swal
low the appointment of VIM. J. Brown and John A.
Dix to important public posts, and stand by the Adj
mniSraton in its policy" of appointing such men to
Office, they undertake to lecture Wing journals for tar
dy spirit in espousng the of the South on this Ne
braska bill.
When we receive lectures Southern interests, VIC
beg that they may come from other source-from
those who can show cleaner record than party journals
winch o-dny preach Southern Rights hold themselves I'd
as the especial guardian of Southern Institutions and to-
morrow make common with the enemy over the dis
roution OF the public plumber We have seen enough of
the sincerity OF their loud boas,ings TO know how to ap

A Grand Fizzle.

A whig-freesoil-repu6lican.pe people stu.
sion convention was 10 have been held a,
GAINESVILLE, on the l 9th inst, to nominate
a candidate for Congress. The day came
but no nomin alton was made-not even Q
Recommendation" which has become the
fashionable mode Of nominating fusion
candidates. The reason set forth for mo-
making a nomination is that Guernsey
county was not represented. A better
reason is that the fusionists want to know
who the democrats nominate before they
bring their man on the track.
The Belmont Chronicle says "the con
vention was well attended by persons irnn
all parties. and the best Of feeling prevail
ed. We saw enough Of the people in al
tendance, and conversed enough witt
them to know that they were in earnest
Will the Chronicle be so good as to tell u.
how many democrats were in attendance
and how many Of the "people" attended
from Monroe? We would like TO see theil
names.

The Bow of the Times.

We like an active boy-one who has the
impulse Of the age. of the steamboat, in
him. lazy, plodding, small paced chap,
might have got along in the world fifty
years ago; but he don't do for these times.
We live in an age of quick ideas; men
think quick; eat, sleep, court, marry, die
quick-and slow coaches are n OF tolerated.
"Go ahead, if you burst your boiler, -
is tho motto Of the age; and he succeeds
the best in every line of business who has
the most Of ssdo or die" in him.
Strive, boys, TO catch the spirit of the
times; be up and dressed always, not gap
ing and rubbing your eyes. as if you were
half asleep, but wide awake for whatever
may turn up. and you will be somebody
before you die.
Think, plan, effect as much as ouplease
before you act; but think quickly and close
ly. and when you have fixed your eyes up
on an object. spring to the mark at once.
But above all things, be honest. lfyou
intend to be an artist. carve il in the wood
chisel it in the marble; If merchant,
write ii in yourledger. Let honesty of pur-
pose be your guiding star.-Southern Or.
