Hail Repu bic ani&m!

II is only short time, since certain politi-
cal sect arose, whose opinions have spread
like wild6re, throughout the whole of our
country. We have been informed, that,
moro recently, another sect, the articles OF
whose creed differ, not wholly, but in some
degree, from those of the former, has ap.
peared in the West. As to whether we be.
long to either of these, you Ktoic Nothing.
lfyou did, you would Knop ,Somethin ing
But one thing 1ce knolr; and that is, that we
do not knol0 any political party, oil the pecu.
liarilies of which, we would unqualifedly ad.
vOcate; and, we ARE glad to see disposition.
prevailing more and more, to merge all DIFF.
ferences in strenuous efforts to advance the
one great cause of true republicanism. The
pride of American nationality, and the
veneration of native citizens for the free and
ennobling institutions bequeathed to them,
as sacred trust, by their republican FORE
fathers, who manfully resisted the tyranny
OF foreign despots, both temporal and spirit
ual, and purchased our liberties with their
blood, have formed united telegraph along
which from heart to heart, as with tighten.
ing speed, has hurried the summons to rescue
from premature grve, the principles of free
dom and independence, and preserve the
honor and glory of our beloved land from
being laid In the dust; and it is gladdening,
and bope-inspiring to see. that those things
which constitute the sine qua non of true
republicanism, are becoming generally
known and felt as such, not only among ma
tive Americans, but likewise among the
more intelligent portion of our foreign popu-
lation. This is right. And probably, the
hour of the morning indicates that we may
expect to witness ere long the day when all
party prejudices having been laid aside, every
man will vie with his neighbor, to see which
will be the best and truest republican. So
let it be.

commercial climax, and then presumed to
rest upon her laurels, under the illusion
that they never could be plucked from her.
Soon, however, her natural rivals, Cincin-
natl on the one hand, New Albany and JET.
fersonville on the other, provided themselves
with the same and perhaps superior railroad
facilities with the interior, and at once divid-
ed her trade and turned it into channels more
advantageous to the producer and customer.
This was but the natural result of the laws
of trade; and the effect Of a laudable enter
prize and strife for an achievement to which
all had an equal right When the commerce
of Madison was crippled, her trade diverted
and cut off, and, to say the least, failed to
increase, then it was that Madison ceased to
be that thrifty city, which her former history
and friends claimed her to be. Then it was
tina. men who had come to the growing
young city to work out their fortunes, became
Disguised; they saw Madison start down the
retrograde declivity. Then it was that "they
gave it the ungrateful kick and left" Thus
has Madison fully demonstrated the folly of
city attempting to arrive at greatness, and
maintain individual superiority, by encourag-
ing one particular interest only. Her press
and her citizens are becoming aroused to the
Importance of encouraging other branches
of industry; they are now bidding and hold
ing out inducements for the encouragement
of manufactures, and endeavoring to repel
the Islanders" which their own inertness
more than any other cause, has propagated.
The effort is laudable one, and had it been
made in season, the enterprise of our sister
city would have had only to maintain wha,
4 she has now to retrieve.
We would most earnestly appeal to ouI
citizens to know if Evansville is not espe.
cially liable to be sooner or later overtaken
By the same fate that Madison has experien.
ced. If so, let us lock the stable door be.
fore the horse is stolen. Evansville has at
tanned her present enviable position and re-
putation abroad, chiefly by her commerce
and her home trade, which have ever beer
conducted with the most persevering indus
try, and attended with success ..unprecedent
ed in the history ofHoosier cities. But may
it not be as true of her as it was of Madison
that she has nearly attained her climax, un
! less her industry shall become more diversi
, fed, and other interests encouraged and fos
tered! Manufactures and the mechanic art
t in all their branches, should at once be es
) tablished in our midst, and encouraged will
; liberal hand. There is no longer an apol
ogy for Indifference upon this subject, while
, the utmost necessity exists for energetic an,
, immediate action. An example of the re
suit of delay has been presented, and lie
Evansville profit by such demonstrative ex
, perience.

The MEMORY OF THE MoTHER.-Ohl the
memory of the mothers heart-how green,
how fresh it is! No flowers wither there, no
lilies lade. But the dark eyes looked still
through the spirit bars Of each and heaven,
they are "my little babe's eyes" still. Though
the earth covers it, and grass shrouds it, the
fair little body seems often nesting close to
her bosom, and she only adds pair of snow.

home.

WASHINGTON, April IS, ID.
The Cabinet are entirely unanimous upon
the Cuban question. McCaulay's instruc-
lions are not such as to create a casus JeHi.
He will resort to force only if cause should
arise in which the international law will full
ly justify it. The administration is strongly
in favor of specific relations with Spain, and
Spain is fully advised thereof.
The Cuban indscretion and ouirages on
our commerce must stop, and the administra.
ton think they shall stop them without the
least danger of war with Spain.

In Lapeer county, we are informed
by Mr.. Allen, lumber dealer in this
city. that in the center Of the town of
Marathon, about miie west of Me-
Kinster's, it utterly demolished log
school house, struck the dwelling of a
Mrs. Luther, and leveled it to the floor,
and unroofed the house Of neighbor to
which she had fed for refuge. Her
son, seeing the hurricane coming.
caught hold of large cherry tree, SIX
inches through, but the tree was twist
ed from the roots, and the whole car-
ried several rods. Mr.. Luther had his
arm broken in two places. and was
taken up insensible, in which condition
he remained for twenty-four hours
Mrs. Luther's feather-beds were found
some three miles distant, and the cloth
ing lodged In trees along the tract of
the tornado, mile distant from the
house. Our informant had heard Of
its pursuing the same devastating course
for a distance of six miles. Stumps
firmly set in the ground were torn out
by the roots, and logs two feet through
and twelve feet long were carried thro'
the air as though they we're broom
sticks. We shall probably hear of fur
ther disasters from this most singular
visitation.-Detroit Tribune, Esd.
