JOHN mitchell REBUKED.

Some time since, the Forest City Lyceum, o,
Cleveland, invited John Mitchell to lecture before
their association. Since his prayer publicly offered
for an Alabama plantation the Lyceum has recon.
sdcred its invitation, will be by the follow.
Ing preamble and resolution adopted by the asso-
citation last week. We copy it from the Democrat

appreciation OF his supposed devotion to the prin-
clples OF human liberty extended cordial and
unanimous invitation TO lecture before the citizens
of Cleveland.
AND WHEREAS, The only claim he has to tho
sympathy and support of tho people of the United
States, is that he struggled and suffered in the same
cause in which our fathers fought.

are still fresh upon his limbs he denies the very
principles which lie at the foundation Of all liberty
and which alone can ever justify resistance 10 "

CoNTENPTInLE.-Thosew who read Douglas speech
will not fail to be impressed with its weakness,
when they see how far he is compelled to resort to
popular prejudice. For lack Of reason and argu-
ment, he cries out against the "aboliton confeder
ates." An old device so old, that in this part Of
the country it has lost all power though 1t has not
at tho South. Here, every unprincped shack who
hopes for Office, has to make out some how or other
that he is abolitionist 1t is too late for this
thing to work at the North. This ruse won't save

slaves. BY the same will they were also provided
with $1,000 in money, together with horses wagons

RsS~Wc heard a distinguished lawyer give the
following answer to the question
"Judgc-,do you know why the Senate expell-
ed Mr.. Day?"
81 do not; but suppose it was because he had
better education ana more intelligence that those
who voted to expel him At any rate. would
rather trust my legislative interests in his hands
than thoirs -
We heard another man offer TO bet from IS TO
$50, that Day could make better argument either

tsat would display more learning and research
than any Senator that voted for his expulsion!

A FAIR BUSINESS TRANSACTION.

TIE Era, represents Southern Democrat as
discoursing as follows:
"What are VIC to do, sir?" There is a law; the
North and South arc parties TO it, 1t is bargain,
sir, between us. We, of the South, have got our
share; and now you Of the North, propose TO give
US your share. What are we to do, sirl North
ern man makes this proposition-to give up to us
what we bargained the North should hayc--a Nor
then PIesidcnt sanctions the prOposition--yOu
have large majority Of Northern Representatives,
and they seom TO favor the proposition. Well, sir
what are we TO do? Ii you arc willing not only
that we of the South should have our share Of the
bargain, but are determined to force upon us your
share too, do YOU expect us to fling back the offer
in your iace?"
Thomas IL. Benton is opposed to the repeal Of
the compromise, but he says,
Let the responsibility of the repeal of it rest
where it belongs. Sir the South dictated the terms
of that compact. Sir, the South must do her part
Of the bargain, u required. But, sir, ii the North
desires to give up what it obtained. the South can
not be blamed for taking back the Territory for
Slavery"
That we suppose would be called fair business
transaction. And Benton it is said is waiting to
see whether the North will throw up her share OF
the profits of the bargain.

We in common with = majority Of the cit.

ing with exemplary p~aticncs the report Of the
committee Of correspondence, appointed 1t a
meeting held some time sincc, to determine
the possibility and expedicncy OF boring an
artesian we'll within the limits Of the town Of
Gonzales, From tho feeling manifested then
with regard to the prjvct, We were very san
yuinc Of = speedy commencement Of the work.
We are aware that two or three propositions
have been received by tile committee, but they
have not been made public as yet, and VIC
knew not what action, II any, has been tn
Ken on them. We have recently convcrscd
With several OF our leading merchants, plant.
crs and others, and they say that they arc viii.
ing to'contribute very literally, and IRE have
no doubt they are. We know that every citi.
zen OF the town would render what assistance
his means would allow, for every one sees the
ncccssitysof having good water. Many fam.
lilies depsndNndrcly on their neighbors' wells,
or tho rives, for q daily supply Of water, not
because they donot wish TO dix wells Of their
own, but simply because the risk they run Of
not finally succeeding Is SO great. The river
water is pure and very healthy, and In cool
weather we believe ID generally preferred, but
thon II is no little trouble to haul a barrel Of
water every day or two, and in the course Of
a year 1t amounts to quite a respectable item
in " household expenses" whom you have to
pay 90 or 20 cents per barrel for It. We SEQ
that many persons arc building %cistcrns: that
is very well, but the supply Of water from an
a~rtcsian well would DO purcr, cooler and more
abundant. II could easily DO conducted by
means Of pipes to any part Of the town, and
would DO vastly more convenient either for
domestic or public purposes. AS we said be-
fore, the friends Of the enterprise await with
anxiety some measure which win sccure to
them the completion Of this well. Thoy arc
willing to pay for il, and we sincerely hope that
we will not remain long in our present state Of
impatient suspense. 1t would at least be graf
flying to know on what terms, and when an
| operator GOULD bo obtained.
