SUMNER TRAvEL.-The Philadelphia
Worth american contains a sensible arti-
Gle upon the subject Of Summer travel. The
advice which it contains is as we'll fitted
for the meridian OF Cincinnati as for that
Of Philadelphia. Those who leave our
city for Summer absence, for the most part
belong to the commercial classes, and the
places which they select TO visit are chiefly
seaboard watering places Would it not
be well to visit places nearer home. and TO
become acquainted with the local beauties
Of our State, and thus become familiar
with people from whom we draw in great
part our real business? There are many
pleasant places in Ohio, Kentucky and,
Indiana, where the Summer weeks would
pass away pleasantly, and at the same time
important acqusintances might be formed
among the merchants of the interior,
which would result in bringing to our city
new customers, aud in adding greatly 10
our material wealth. Gin. Gazette.
The citizens of the Queen city who wish
a pleasant country retreat during the ho
weather need only get astride the Tor
horse that leads to Lancaster, and they will
here find all the heart could wish w,
have the most magnificent scenery, tn
most accommodating landlords, tho mos
hospitable people, tho sweetest" an
"coolest" water, as we'll as one of the mos
healthy localities in the State.

PRESENCE OF MIND.-A thief entered a
house in Sterling, Conn, on Saturday last,
while the family were at church, and was
discovered searching drawers, &c, by a
little lad of the family. Thcrogue threat
ened the boys life if he didu't tell where
the money was; but the youngster shrewd-
" replied-"Meetin' is jest out, and fathers
coming up the road, he'll tell verde knows
better than do" The thief some how
or other, was not inclined to wait.

SLAVERY COMES IT TOO STRONG, The
Northern apologists for Slavery grows
restless. The aggressions Of that "pecu-
liar institutions" begin to awaken and dis
turb those who found excuses, in times
past, for Texas Annexation, the Fugitive
Slave Law, anl tho Nebraska Swindle.-
Even tho Albany Argus, the eady and re-
liable ally Of Slavery for thirty years, ,ques-
ton the right of Missouri to control an
election in Kanzas. Its language and tone
is quite decided
Now this is not the kind of popular
sovereignty to which Democrats OF the
North, in standing shoulder to shoulder
with Southern men in passing the Ncbras-
la Bill, consented. 1t docs not meet our
approval. We repudiatc it. And we call
upon Southern men and Southern presses
to speak out and rcpudate it also. An
opportunity is now offered to the South to
show that to maintain n national creed, it
is not necessary that the sacrifices should
all be on ono side. Northern statesmen
and presses have braved much of popular
condemnation in standing up boldly for
national doctrines, and for defending the
just rights Of the South 1t would have
been muJh easier for them to have hoatcd
with the current than TO have stemmed ii.
An opportunity is now afforded for tho cx-
hbition of somewhat of the same courage
and justice by Southern men We at least
arc entitled to know, most Explicitly, ,wheth,
cr we are to be met by the same good faitl,
which we have extended to our Southern
friends. We say to the South plainly and
honestly, that unless this is done, North
ern men who have stood on common plat
form with the South. can stand there nc
longer Northern feeling will not tolerate

PREP AYMENT OF POSTAGE To BE MADE ny
STAMPS ONLY.-It will be recollected that by
the act of March 8, 1855, requiring the postage
on all letters not free sent by mail within the
United States, and not from or to a foreign
country to be prepaid, it was also enacted that
from and after January ], 1856, "the Postmas,
ter General may require postmasters to place
postage stamps upon all prepaid letters upon
which such stamps may not have been placed
oy the writers.
We learn that the Postmaster General has
decided to require postmasters to comply with
and carry into effect, this provision of the law,
and if not already done to supply themselves
with postage stamps accordingly BY sending
their order for them to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General. Ofcourse. it is not intend
ed nor expected that this regulation shall throw
upon postmaSers the labor Of affixing postage
stamps to letters where the writer's might, with
out Inconvenience have done it for themselves.
The main thing is for postmasters to keep
themselves supplied with stamps that all per-
sons having occasion to use may readily obtain
them Washington Union.
