The facilities with which one can perform
q journey now between the Eastsnd West'
have become so easy, and the bonds OF in'e'-
est and social intercourse so intimate, '""'
we are all alphabetically one people. Inere
exists now, re ally, no East or West soc'aiy
or commercially, and only geograpn'''.s
are such terms known. BY the ingenuity
and power of human enterprise our wnoi'
country is fast being blended into one COM
mon and glorious whole, one IN INTEREST," one
in sympathy and in destiny.
Tho facilities for travel and social inter.
course are now approaching such degree OF
perfection and adaptation to the necessities
and circumstances of society, that all can
avail themselves equally Of their advantages.
IT'S but few years since the medium Of COM
muncation between what was then known
a. the East and the far West,was such as for
bid in great me asure the man Of ordinary
means to attempt so long journey, on &C
count Of the necessarily large investment OF
both time and money. At present the "light.
ming lines of travel have become so extend.
ed and the connections so perfect and few
that thousand mile trip partakes more OF
an excitable recreation than tedious jour.
ney. A citizen of st. Louis boasts of hav.
ing left home on Sunday, made the trip te
New York where he spent two days ant
nights in business, and found himself com
foTtably supping at his own board in ST. Louis
on the following Saturday evening. Such ,
feat as this illustrates in unmistakeabl,
terms the beauties and bene6cent effects o
the great internal improvement system
Yet this same system, which has and is des
tined to revolutionizs the world, to enricl
and civilzs it, has yet generation of pur
blind politicians and old fogy enemies to out
live before it can achieve the fullness of it
perfection and its advantages.
The schemes which are to connect Ne,
Orleans and Halifax, New York and Sa
Francisco by railway. are already within
re asonable expectation of being realized
even during the wane OF life of those VIII
witnessed the laying of the first track in tn
United States. Ths agencies of communi
cation between one part OF the world and an
other are hereafter to be lightning and steam
and whoever fatters himself with any othe
idea, or contents himself with any othe
mode, will soon find himself distanced in tn
great race of human life.

the law in Ohio known as tho "Crowber
Law" SO far as it relates to the branches OF
the State Bank of Ohio, unconstitutional.
The court decided in effect that the old char

other words, the Legislature has not the
power to annual or amend contracts which
were enacted, without the clause reserving

o. The last Baltimore Democratic plat
form, and the President in his inaugural, de-
precated all agitation on the slavery question
and pledged the democratic party to dis
countenance and oppose all such agitation
Hasn't it exhibited beautiful consistency in
abiding by its pledges! The next National
Democratic Convention should pass resolu.
ton pledging the party to get up slavery
agitation on every possible occasion, when
there might be some hope it would display 9
little consistency.

A project is on foot in Qecinnati to raise
fund of $4,000 to purchase one hundred
acres of land near the ci,y. to be appropriated
to park or garden, the land to be laid off in
carriage drives, and house to be erected for
the reception of visitors. Evansville will
some day want such an arrangement both for
ornament and use, and there is not the re-
hottest doubt but that similar organization
could be effected here, that W ould secure spa
cious public grounds which would be both
advantageous and profitable. Let US suppose
that one hundred acres Of land be purchased
within one mile or less, if possible, of the
the present limits of the city, TO be ultimate
ly devoted to city public grounds. Let it for
the present be rented, for horticultural pur-
poses, cultivated and improved. Let both
the city and the citizens take an interest in
the project, and by the time such grounds
were really demanded for the health and con-
venience of the city, they would be owned
and paid for. At the expiration of FIVE, ten
or more years, when we may become arous-
ed to the Importance and necessity of such
an arrangement, the price Of eligible proper.
ty will very likely discourage the attempt.

Pilin1 on the Agony.

From the following extracts, an idea may
be gathered respecting the kind Of argument
that prevailed with the Hardin county Jury
in the Ward case:
Says Tom Marshall:
1t were pitiful that he should die 90 young
now in the full flush of his early manhood
one so loved in the social circle--one looked
upon 30 hopefully by she church-one who
has proved himself SO glorious genius and
SO fit to lead the young men of America-it
were pity that he should die, even by the
unrelenting hand of disease, and when sur.
rounded by all he loves on earth. But to be
cut off thus-in such q cause-to be sacri-
feed in response to such wild, in atiate cry
Tor blood as has been raised by this prosecu-
tion-oh, it were pitiful, it were marvellous
ly pitiful! But if you think to mitigate his
punishment, will you immune him within the
walls of Pententiary! Will you cut those
flowing locks-will you shave that classic
head-will you snatch him from the bosom of
his loving family-tear him from the arms of
his girl-wife, and rudelv sunder every lie that
makes life dear! Will you do this, and call
il mercv!
Says Gov. Helm:
Even the father of your country, who barred
his noble bosom TO the sword in defence OF
your liberties, did not escape the shafts OF
calumny; and you remember that the Re.
deemer of the world was spit upon and rebu-
ked, and buffeted, and put to death, in ebedi-
ence to the wild cry: "Crucify him, cruelty
him, whether he be guilty or not"
Says Mr.. Wolfe: aIt1
The achievements Of this young man in the
field of literature are part and parcel Of the
greatness of Kentucky. The emanations o.
his mind have added fresh glory to the histo.
ry Of our State, which the patriotic devotion
of his ancestry had alrea iy rendered so illus
trious. Shame not the history of our State
with the pronunciation of guilty, becaus,
neither Justice, law nor humanity demant
such result.
Says Gov. Crittenden:
Again ask you to consider it well, before
you pronounce verdict which shall consigI
this prisoner to grave Of ignomy and dis
honor. These are no idle words you hav,
heard so often. This is your fellow. citizen
a youth of promise the rose of his family
the possessor of all kind and virtuous an,
manly qualities. 1t is the blood OF Ken
tuckian you are called upon to shed. Tn
blood that flows in his veins, has come dow
from those noble pioneers who laid the foun
dations for the greatness and glory OF GU
State-it is the blood of race who hav
never spared it when demanded by thei
country's cause. Il is his fate you are to de
eide.

Whipped I'm.

A few days since we published an extract
from the New Albany Ledger, Democratic
paper, giving its position few weeks ago on
the Nebraska bill. In this extract, it occu-
pied as strong position against the Dill a.
any Wing paper in the State. knowing 'ne
Democratic State Convention would support
the bill, and that consequently every Locoto'
CO editor in the State having no indePen'
dence of his own, would have to sacrilce un'
der partv tyranny his honest opinions on this
subject. we said if the Ledger continued 10
occupy the position it had taken' we would
devote a column week to an eulogy OF the
editor. We are saved that trouble. He al
ready feels the party lash on his back, dread
full az the Russian knout, and is squirming
horribly. Ii ever man regrets past homes
~, he seems to do SO now. He would give
the world il the natural political roguery in
him, had not for a time been overcome by a
sense of duty and decency. He has publish
ed Mr.. English's speech in favor Of tho bill,
as a preliminary run to turning tremendous
somerset on this question. He is now in the
air, whirling around vigorously, and trying
to alight on his feet, but thr eatening TO come
down on the parts which have been hereto
fore pleasantly resting in his editorial chair
He has suddenly discovered that the Adolf
fionists are going to do some terrible things
under the dictation of the New York Tribune
such as killing and eating all the supporter.
of the Nebraska bill they can lay their hands
on, burning the capitol, and indulging in 9th
er pleasing and innocent amusements at the
expense Of the nation generally and the
Democratic party particularly. In view Of
this horrible aspect of affairs, he INDUCES in
more rage and mental tribulation, than pro
badly ever before were suspected of bein!
pent up in one little body, or than one littl
body could ever entertain for moment with
out being torn up into little bits Of pieces
He evidently tries to make himself believe
that there are no persons opposing this right
loving Abolitionis,s, forgetting that nearl
half the Democratic Representatives fror
the North in Congress voted against the bill
and oil the Whigs-in other words abor
two-thirds Of the Northern representation
Now we hope he will at once complete tina
somerset satisfactorily to an agonized publ
just .wheel right over and land among tn
advocates Of the bill he so lately denouncet
and acknowledge that he has been whippe
in like dog, and dare not longer give ute
ance to an honest bark. II by doing this !
lose the respect of good citizens, he will I
least secure the approval Of doughfaces.
