THE n. y. EVENING posr.

We were in error in stating that this Demo-
cratic paper had come out in favor Of the Know
Nothings. We peruscd only the first two para
graphs of the article in question which certainly
carried the impression that the Post was in favor
of the order. The Satanic of this city, in hopes
to disguise the truth, copies the article, mithout
these paragraphs and inlulges in its slang of
-:j~.L~.." So This le. sr aa;os Of ;a~..aisr, ho
longs exclusively to the Democrat and its alder
and abettor, the Minncsotian, both Of which seize
upon every opportunity to pervert the truth to
suit their own sordid ends. We do not wish to
do injustice to the Post anl therefore correct the
error into which we have fallen. But read the
paragraphs:
"BEwARE OF FOREIGN INrLUENCE!-Our readers
will bear witness that this is warning with which
the columns Of the Eve. Post are not familiar.
We have never before indulged in the expression
of any apprehension of danger from the alien
emigration to the United States. On the con-
trary, we have invariably treated it as import
ant source of national wealth and prosperity
But we can no longer shut our eyes to the ex-
istence of dangers from this source, which hithcr-
10 we have deemed only worthy of smile or a
sneer. The facts which have wrought this change
In our convictions we will now proceed briefly to

Minncsotian continues to grind out fslsehoods
concerning the Times. 1t wont play any other

THE TRIUMPH IN ILLINoIs.-The election Of
Lyman Trumbull, as United States Senator from
Illinois, is considered great triumph by the Re-
publicans. He is a Democrat, but rcpudiates
Douglas and his iniquitous scheme, for which the
people very kindly placed him in the U. S. Sen
ate. This is all right. The Galena Advertiser,
speaking of him says -
"He is man of superior talents and unblem-
ished character. As a Man, he is popular as a
Legislator, he is shrewd and consistent as a
Judge of the Supreme Court, he has proved HIM
self to be enlightened and just. He is now men,
Der elect of the next Congress, having been
chosen Representative from the Eighth District
last November, by majority of 9, ,l22 votes over
all other candidates."
The Advertiser adds -
"With Iowa and Wisconsin, Illinois plants her
self firmly, and trust forever, against the fur
ther extension of slavery. Two Of those Sena-
tors who voted for the violation of the Missouri
Compromise have been displaced. Stephen A.
Douglas only awaits the time appointed by law
to receive his sentence, ALSO"

Company employed about one hundred men, on
Monday, to clear the track of ice. The laborers,
consultation, refused to work for less than 81
so day, or at that rate. The Company refused
to pay at the rate demanded, and the laborers
stopped. The employees of the road then took
hold and did the work themselves.-N. Y. Tsib.
GT There is food for reflection in the above.
If laborers would only consult their interests,
they would not stop to cavil about work, when
there are thousands ready and willing to labor
for even their beard. When times are good, the
case is different. Then 81 so or even $500
would be no more than right, but now half of
that sum should not be spurned by those who CRY
out SO loud against sshard times" Never refuse
half a loaf because you can't get a whole one
it's bad policy.

HOW Is 1T 2


The Times complains of Mr.. Fridley, sheriff of
Ramsey county, for charging five hundre! dollars
for hanging the Indian Uy-ha-zy, and says the
sum of 500 would have been sufficient to have de-
frayed the expenses of the execution. Probably
the editor would have performed the service for
that sum !-N. Cr0tr Unton.
Cy- "Probably the editor" would have done
no such thing, but if he were sheriff, and en-
dOwed with power to hang a human being, and
the law justified him in the act, and he considered
hanging right and gloated over it, he would charge
no more for performing the service" than he
would do for any other amount of labor, which
required but a few hours time. If capital pun
ishment is right, in the eyes Of God and of man,
why, in the name Of Heaven, is it made a matter
of dollars and certs? Why charge $500 for
putting human being to death, and - for the
same labor performed in any other way-why
Simply that the sheriff may make money over the
dying struggles of his fellow man. This is the
reason and no other, and this is the beautiful
workings of the system termed the Death Penal
ty. We arc we'll aware that men speculate in
real estate and in merchandise, but this is the
first time We ever knew of an officer speculating
in the death throes of the murderer! oh! en-

THE REASONS.


The reasons assigned by Hon. Joseph
R. Brown, of the Council, for striking out
the names of WILLIS A. GoRxAN and j. TRAVIS
RossER, from among the incorporators of the Ham,
line Institute, were, sthat the House of Represen-
tatvcs at Washington had given as principal
reason for annuling certain charter, that the
names of these two persons we're embodyed in it
as corporators. He was opposed to placing the
name of any government officer in acts of incor-
poration of any character. He disclaimed all
motives of personal ill-feeling towards the Gov
ernor and Secretary, BY the introduction of the
bill.r
MIR. Brown may seek to disguise the fact, yet
it is very evident that this motion was one of re-
taliation, and not merely because che was oppo-
sed to placing the name of any government officer
in acts of incorporation of any character or
otherwise he would have moved to strike out the
names of these gentlemen a long time ago. We
esteem Mr.. Brown as man, but in this case he
has allowed his Sire" to get the better of his
judgment. We think he will live long enough to
see his error. ~'oa
