as to overlook. Never, since the Jays of oul
early martyrs, has there been time when the
friends of Freedom needed to work so earnestly
so zeaously as noo. Never was there time
when we so needed wisdom as now. There is
great danger that we shall be cheated by deusive

Political MEANNEss. ". H. Patriot, by
way Of accounting fer the defeat of the Admin
istration party in that State, or from meaner
motive, is trying to make out Col. Baker, the
Governor elect, -" not such popular man after
all"!
Now it is notorious that Col Baker is the
most popular of any candidate who could have
been run in that State and even at that he
could not have been elected, if it had not been
known that he was firm opposer of the Ne
braska rascality. And it is this, probably with
the reported fact, that he does not believe fully
in the Instability of Frank Pierce, which have
lead to this foolish attempt to disparage him.

vote stood yeas27 nays 18-two-thirds Of

legations to prevent Indian incursions into
Mexico, upon the payment of $25, 100000 te
the Mexican government. The contest of the
rival companies, holding grants for a railroad
across the lsthmus of Tehuantepec, and the
large sum Of cash necessary to be paid were
sufficiently unpopular to insure its rejection
Besides, the North are not particularly. anx.

the rejection Of this treaty.

THE BLACK WARRIOR CAsE-The New Or
leans Crescent considers the documents recently
laid before the world by the Cuban authorities as
clearly establishing
l. That the seizure and confscaton of the
Black Warrior were under the port regulations
OF Havana, legal and Just
g That Captain Bulloch, his consionees Tvno
" Co., and our consul, admit the fact that il was

8 That they only in reality commended that
they should be let off, LIST, because thew we're ia

they had done so before; 3d. because thew had
no intentions of fraud.
A. That to this the Spaniard replies. 1T was

G. That while the language and statements Of
Bu ock, lying. and our consul, have been violent
and denuncatory, they have been holding to the
Cuban authorities only the language of apology
and supplication, Thus they were at once en-
couraging the Spaniard to pers st in his course

to make war upon him for that course.
T. That the owners, by submitting to take

Hewers of Wood. ard Drawers of Water

The above, seems TO be Il iavorite express
sion of Col. Davis, and we understand that
he says, that the resolutions of the democ-
racy OF Howard expressing preference for
candidates, who deny the power OF congress
to legislate upon the subject of slavery il,
the Territories, and those who admit it,
makes the latter "hewers Of wood and draw
ers Of W -er.- Democrat.
Well, what else does Il make them? The Col
uses that as figure of speech to show that the
Howard meeting declared that democrats who adj
mitted the power might help eec; those who denied
but the deniers would not vote for the admitters--
If il will suit the Banner better, will change the
figure, and say it makes them boot-biackers to the
four year old democrats of Howard, who carried
the new test into the family with them, and showed
the old fashioned democrats aside. The preference
to the non-power men excludes the power men
from Office and should Mr.. Patterson be elected to
the Legislature, he could not vote for listen Polk
nor Gardenhire, for Senator, though they are good
democrats, and worthy and talented men. The
Banner once declared it would support Gardenhire
but the "four year olds'' made it back-wa;er, and
now il wouldn't touch him with forty foot pole!
If Col Davis fayorite expression" is not true your
county resolutions are false.

Speeches in Congress.

There was, perhaps, more speeches made in
Congress on the Nebraska question, than was ever
made on any one subject during the same length
of time. Members have reduced speech-making
10 science. But few of them keep their seats
when one has the floor for set speech. They ad-
journ to the lobby, take drink, write letters, read
papers, or crack jokes "until the hour has ex-
pired,'' and vote is about 10 be taken on some
proposition. In The morning they look at the pa
pers, just an "outsider" would, TO see what was
said yesterday. 1t is not unfrequenty the case
that speeches are printed before they are deliv-
cred, and soon after delivery are laid upon mem
bers' tables. Again, when member is cut short
by the hour rule,he writes out what he would have
said, and publishes il, as did Col. Benton short
time since. II is no uncommon thing, when the
floor is being occupied in regular speech, to find
large majority of members out of their seats, and
opposition members will look to the papers or
pamphlet copy when they want 10 reply. It
certainly would be great bore 10 listen TO all the
speeches made in Congress.

BOMB SHELL.
Michigan Politics Parties

The Michigan Independent State convention as
sembled at Jackson on the 9th, and nominated
Kingsley S. Bingham, Freesoil Democrat, for
Governor, and a coalition ticket. Resolutions 10
repeal The Nebraska and Fugitive Slave laws, and
to abolisl. slavery in the District of Columbia
were adopted unanimously. The Advertiser and
conservative wings bolt, and there will probably
be q straight wing ticket nominated.
The democratic party of Michigan is distinctly
a frecsoil party, anti-slavery in every point Of
view.
The democratic party of New Hampshire, the
home of the President denounce the Nebraska
bill and those who voted for it.
The same party in Ohio are against Pierce and
his administration, save The ofice-holders and trea-
sury-supported presses.
The democracy of our sister State, Illinois, are
also aarayed against Douglas.
Yet We hear ocofocos saying there is no nation
al wing party-that it is abolitionised, &C. They
will not look at home.

D-"Col. Flournoy is sweeping every.
thing before him in every part Of the dis
trict. His election is fixed fact. 1t only
remains for the democrats to prove true 10
themselves to annihila,e whiggery in this
district Banner.
We know the Colonel is doing sweeping bust
ness, first with an anti broom, then with a Benton
broom; Now with test sweeper, anon with a
non-test instrument: And he has kicked up such
dust that he is lost. No one knows where to find
him, and democrats are proving true 10 themselves
by leaving him in the dust he has raised, and are
going 20 vote for Lndley, who can always be found
and whose principles are well known.

Mr.. Lindley.

Mr.. LINDLEY is at his post in Washington, at
tending to the interests of his District and State
His opponent has canvassed the greater portion of
the District and we regret to say, has taken advan-
tage Of Mr.. Lndley's absence, and misrepre,ente d
him. These misrepresentation, Mr.. Lindley's
friends have met, and refuted on the stump: but
they go into private circles, and are talked about
and should be refued there also. Let Mr.. Lind
ley's friends attend TO this. He is not here to do
HIMSELF and it is the duty and will be the pleas
ure Of his friends 10 see him rghted. His speech
on the subject of the Nebraska bill and Internal In
provements has been generally circulated, and can
be referred TO for his position on these subjects
His speech on the Homestead Bill, and his amend
ment, are also understood. His efforts in behalf
Of the volunteers, who lost horses in the Mexican
and Florida war-hls prompt attention to all pr-
vate interests with which lie has been charged at
Washington, his labors 10 increase the post flee
and mail facilities of his District, all point to him
as being working mana man who is attending
with energy and industry 10 the interests of his
constituents. While he is doing this, his friends
must recollect his opponents are straining every
nerve to defeat him in August. They must be met
at every point. He is opposed by politicians and
all the appliances that partizans can bring to bear
against HIM, are put into requsiton. With them
Inc interests of the District are nothing, compared
with the success of party. The people put their
ban upon party tactics, and politicians by his cleo
tion-he has made faithful representative, and
they will re-elect him.

We feel but little concern about the pre-.
sent position of Davis or Robinson. Our
candidates will hold them up to the public
gaze, and The democracy will in August as
sign them position among he missing, by
the election Of Graves and Patterson by al
least rs majority Banner.
You are troubling yourself considerably, your
declaration to the contrary, notwithstanding. How
much funds can the county clerks office, the land
office, the Banner office. ard ether attaches raise

Democrats Internal Improvements

tits quite common nowadays for democrats TO
make great professions in favor of Internal In
proyements. Flournoy is dealing in this kind of
talk, and would create the impression that he is a
great friend of Internal Improyements-tha if he
is elected, when he gets to Congress he will do up
business on different principle. We have shown
hour he stands by Internal improvements in our own
Legislature. The democracy of the Union, as
represented in Congress, are against the granting
Of lands TO the western States as the record shows
When the bill was before Congress for grants of
lands to our State, the House was composed of
80 wings and l42 democrats. The vote stood thus:
For the apPProPriatOn'''''''''''''los
Against 10
Wings for.... ......52 Wings against. ...... 16
Democrats for. 81 Democrats against 80
Sixty to sixteen! That vote shows where the
democracy stand. Is il policy for the people of
this district to elect doubtful man on this great
question? We think not, decidedly. Lindley is
true on this question-his speeches and his votes
show it. Is Mr.. Flournoy? His votes show
different state of affairs. He is not sound, and il
he is elected, on this question our District will be
lmirepyasented

Sunday, and in trying to dive under boat got
caught and was nearly drowned. Upon being la

such manner as to produce death.
