The Market for linseed oil has been
much Affected .:by troubles in Europe.
The following from the N. Y. Price Cur
rent will interest many readers:
The market for Linseed, before the
arrival Of the Africa, was quiet, but firm
with sales Of 1880 gallons English
at 70 to 80 cents /; since then, in view
Of unsettle state Of politicald affairs in Eu-
rope, the probable blockade Of the Rus
sian Ports, BY which tho supply Of seed
will be prevented, the large falling off
in the shipments of oil from England
to this country, being only about one
third the quantity exported to this time
last year, and the confined advance in
prices in England, the market here has
been excited, ana the operations have
been large at.an advance Of three to fivs
cents per gallon, closing bueyantly, " it'll
still higher rates demanded.

Britain last year imported from all pla
ces about 0,280,00O bushels Linseed
seventy five per cent Of which was re-
ceived from Russian Ports; as they vii
probably receive little or none from that
quarter this year, holders are very san

GLASS MALLEABBE.-Of late years
quite number of improvements have
been made in the manufacture Of glass
and the coloring OF it. The ancients.
however, possessed far more knowledge
Of this business than the moderns. They
could impart to it malleability, and ex.
tend and form it into variety of shapes
by the hammer, without Injury to its
orllliancy or Transparency and also
paint upon it in the most beautiful and
durable manner. To make glass MALE
able is matter Of the highest importance
IN many points Of view and as this has
been done in centuries long since passed
away, it can be done again. The art of
spinning and weaving glass with silk, is
already known and practiced abroad, and
this brief article has been written with
d view TO draw the attention of some of
our chemists or manufacturers to the
subject of irnparting TO viterous fabrics
the same admirable quality which the
ancients gave 10 them, viz: malleabili,y.
Our coantrymen have but TO discover
the old mode, or invent new one, 10
accomplish this great desideratum. -

Nh. SANpERs:-Sir:-It 10 with an un-
bounded degree of satisfaction and pride,
that witness the entree Of our staunch old
citizens into the political arena. At the ur-
gent solicitation of friends innamerable, Mr..
WIN. BATES, the gentlemanly proprietor
Of the wOrld.renowned SaIt Well, celebrated
for his suavity Of manner and versatility Of
talent, has consented to step from the retired
shades Of domestic life, and devote portion
Of his inestimably valuable time to the inter-
ests of his adopted country. Ebulitions Of
disinterested patriotism like this, are only the
index to the feelings and sentiments that lie
deeP-rooted in the bosom of our community.
am also gratiied to hear Mr.. Bates correct,
so emphatically, an error which seems to
pervade the public mind from Maine to Geor-
gia, in relation to his connection with the
Known othings. 1t will be absolutely ne
cessary for Mr.. B. to make this disavowal
from the stump, the forum, and Iwouh also
suggest the expediency of having it announ-
ced from the pulpit, as the impression will be
difficult to eradicate from the public mind
1t is also limited about by Mr.. BIS enemies tina,
he is in favor of the Maine Liquor Law
This, with the general belief that Mr.. B.
favors the abolition ticket in toto, should urge
him into the field at period sufficiently early
to prevent the public mind from being fore.
stalled by his opponents.
1t is reported that Mr.. Bates contemplates
calling a convention at the Salt Well, at nc
very distant day, to make him regular nom.
inee.
Mr.. 8. Swellhead expresses himself highly
gratiied at having a foe to contend with
worthy of his steel, and hopes that his antag.
onist will be able to answer satisfactorily the
following questions:
LIST. Are you in favor Of the dog law,
End. How are you on the goose question!
3rd. Are you in favor of the amelioration
of the condition of the human race!
4h. How do. you view the town clocki
9th. Should the price Of sausages be raised
on account of the scarcity of dogs!
9th. Are you in favor of holding baby
cow entioni
7th. Do you from personal motives favor
a total repeal of the vagrant actl

" Mr.. Cross, thinking that the report Of
the police item yesterday relative to himself
was not according to the evidence, but cal.
culsted to do a respectable lady and himse II
injustice, has requested US to publish the fol-
lowing card:
On Saturday last at about 4 o'clock, being
on Main street, was told that e. +. Sulli.
van had been speaking against me. found
him q short time after at the Washington
House, and was about to chsstise him there.
But through the influence of others did not
then do it. Att o'clock, in company with
Mr.. l.. Freeman, called at Mrs. Cowl's, to
fulfill an engagement go to the evening
entertainment at the Apollo Hall. As
was opening the front gate, saw Sullivan,
and as advanced, heard him use my name
gave him a cuff, and he made his exit
through the back yard over the fence. We
then went to the exhibition.
He was not sent for to call there; he came
ofhis own accord and was engaged in speak
ing against me when We came there. OF
course he could expect to get what he did
The above is a true statement OF the facts
in the case. e. CROSS.

The Mass Meeting.

Among all the letters and verbal messages
we have received from almost every part of
,he First District of Indiana, the only objec-
ton we have heard to the Mass Meeting OF
the opponents of the Nebraska Bill, to be
held at Petersburgh on the 25th, for the pur-
pose Of nominating candidate against Smith
Miller, comes in a letter from Spencer coun-
ty. Maj. Robinson has been making several
speeches in that county, and SO strong is the
feeling in that section against Miller and
against the Nebraska Law, that many Demo-
Gratis and many Wings there are disposed to
support him. They are probably right in
doing SO, in the absence of any other anti
Nebraska candidate-but this Mass meeting
is intended to give the opponents of the Me-
braska Bill candidate who will be unobjse-
fionable, at the same time as strong in faith
against the Nebraska Law, as Maj. Robinson.
We hope Spencer county will be strongly
represented in this convention, and thus that
views may be compared and a free inter.
change of opinions take place. 1t will be a
meeting of consultation, and no immolation
OF men will follow because they have the in.
dependence to express their honest opinions.
We promise our friends of Spencer they
will meet a large crowd there--and not a
crowd of demagogues and ofice-seekers and
the friends of such-but of men meeting to-
gether for an honest interchange of opinions,
and to preserve the very freedom of senti.
ment and action, which late Democratic
Conventions have sought in their tendencies
to crush. Every county in the District will
be represented. and we hope every party,
sect and nativity in our midst.

Government has been at the expense Of
building Ave large and substantial snag boats
and two dredges, for the purpose of clearing
out impediments in Western rivers. These
boats have been successful in doing much to
remove obstructions in certain rivers, but
while in the midst Of their usefulness, their
operations are suddenly stopped by the Pre-
sidential veto of the bill! making appropria-
tons for this object, in common with others
promising some advantages to the West
OF the old appropriation there 10 not enough
left to keep these boats aAOat, and they will
probably have to be sacrificed one at q time
to pay the expenses of keeping them
These boats cost $3.50. 900, and unless an
appropriation be made soon, they will be
dead loss to the government. They will be
sold for mere triAs like the old snag boats
were, one Of which now forms a wharfboat
at our city.
But what cares the Pierce administration
for this! What does it care for Western in.
terests at all! We told the people of this
region, that if they voted for Pierce, they
would vote for man, who in Congress had
always opposed the West, and to prove the
truth of our words, we quoted freely from
his speeches and votes. We said too, that
judging him by his antecedents, no river and
harbor appropriation bill that could possibly
pass Congress. would receive his approval.
This was what the Wing press told the peo'
PIE again and again, yet this unknown man
this opponent of Western interests-this
second rate lawyer-was elevated to the
head of the nation. And there he is! Look
at him! What pride the Democratic party
must take in regarding this great man Of
their own manufacture. We wish them joy
in their ef6gy Of President.

the stomachs Of some Of these gentlemen
He had made them gag good many times
before, but the last draught 10 Indignantly

Here 10 a specimen. The Daily Democratic
Press of Chicago, a leading Democratic pa.
per. thus concludes an article on the veto:
Facts and figures have shown most clear
y that the commerce on our Lakes alone ex.
ceeds the entire foreign commerce of the
Union. Why the sea coast is to receive all
the fostering care of the government, and
our internal seas and magnificent rivers are
to be entirely ignored, it will require all the
casuistry at the command of Mr. Pierce TO
show.
Why, for instance, should the removal oil
the distractions at the rapids of the Missis-
sippi not be regarded as national work.

and their commerce for several months in
the year is crippled or entirely cut off BY

would accrue to the nation at large if these
obstacles to continued navigation were re-
moved.
We did what we could to elect Mr.. Pierce
President Of the United States, and we sup
ported his administration as long as we could,
consistently with our duty to the county,
But when the faith of solemn compromises
was recklessly violated to crafty the vault

sustain them in their treachery to freedom,
was sought to be made test of Democratic
orthodoxy, there was but one course left Us.
Tha, was to stand by the Baltimore platform

who are ambitious to be considered leaders
would impose upon the party. We repeat.
let Democrats stand BY their principles and
their party, and elect men to Office who will
carry out their views in reference to this and
all other subjects.

Ehe Gcrhna ne and the Democracy.
We make the following extract from an
address recently delivered in Cincinnati, by
Mr.. r. HAssAUREK, Editor ofthe Hochwsech-
ter, of that city.
"ln some brief bot cutting sentences, Mr..
H., alluded To the manner in which the Ger
mans had hitherto allowed themselves to be
led by mere party demsgogues: and exhorted
them TO shake off the yoke and 60 for only
such principles as are consistent with the
broad conceptions Of universal liberty and
truth. By their fruits, said he, you will know
the men who come among you with their
loud professions OF Republicansm and Chris
tanity by the stones their Christian charity
casts; by the ca!umnies with which they
cover their opponents; by the light Of those
sacrifices that the so-called Democratic par
ty has kindled before the Gods il worshps.-
OF these fruits need mention but two, and
they are the FUGITIVE SLAVE Law and the
NEBRASKA BILL - great cheering 1.-THE
man-hunting law which treads under foot the
,haIeas corpus act, fundamental institution of
the Republic, the law which gives the Judge
ten dollars when he decides against the poor
fuqatiue and accords him but fue W hen his de-
cISlon Is Oh the otner SlOes Tue law WHICH,
makes Northern States a human hunting
ground for cotton lords; the law by which,
already, republican blood has been shed in
Boston this, this is one fruit we find grow
ing on the Democratic tree The other is
the Nebraska bill. which desolves a treaty
that had stood for thirty years, and opens the
free territories of the West, which were for
ever, promised to freedom, TO the 'divine,
biblical, and peculiar institution of the
South :"
These are the fruits of a party which has
so long deceived the Germans, by whom we
were so long trained in leading strings, and
which, within yenr or two past, has adopt
ed one more principle besides the extension
Of slavery-a principle that would hurl this
Republic into dishono ed grave-the mon
strous blasphemy that slavery and freedom
have equal rights.
Mr.. Hassaurek closed amid. thelapplause of
an audience who had listened TO him with
marked attention, notwithstanding repeated
and per<evering attempts made at the out
skirts OF the Hall TO interrupt him.
