That Sugar Tree, Again.

We are indeed sorry to be under the neceS-
'si,y Of again adverting 10 this subject, but the
low, filthy and contemplate course pursued
by "Prctesscr Skeesichs," the present editor
of the Register, renders it necessary, and if it
were not for one thing, we would give q re-
view of his course on this subject, that would
lay his purified hide upon the fence to dry,
with as many holes Pierced through it as there
were when we layed him in the debate last
summer on the constitutionality of slavery
But The position into which he has gotten him
self upon this subject, is so low, so !oully blot
ted with depraviIy, meanness and li,tleneGs,
that il is utterly impossible for words or acts
10 place him any lower; hence, anything that
we might say would actually have q tendency
to elevate him, merely by the kicking him into
notice. This we do not choose 10 do, for as
he has wrought out this sink Of corruption and
infamy himself, in which to deposit The little
remains OF his literary character, il would be
very unchari!able in US 10 disregard his last
and dearest request, 10 wit, the liberty OF les
.tifying 10 The world that lie died as he lived, 8
foul scab on society, and lies buried in q toni
Of corruption, wrought out with his own hands
The position in which he is now, is precisel!
like that of the skunk, he is stronger after be
is kicked than before. Skecsicks very ap'
propriate indeed, when applied 10 the editoI
Of the Register.

A FishY Suspicion

Our black republican neighbors Of the Ev-
ening p st, in discussing the prolracted farce
in Congress upon the Speakership, throws OUT
the following suspicion concerning the "Neak
sisters OF the sn.i.Slayery coalition Of the
House:
"Where is one danger, however, TO which,
we ought not 10 shut our eyes. 1.-THE admin
%istrAtion should find among those by whom
Mr.. Banks is supported any member capable Of
being Influenced by The promise that if he,
should fOrsake his integrity, beirOy his consti-
tuentS aud in ur their displeasure, the Prcsi-
dent will take care that he loses nothing, he
will assuredly be bought over. That was
done 10 o shameful extent, as our readers re-
member, n the case Of tie Nebraska BILL
One reason for perS sting in The support of
Richardson may be that il gives time 10 discov-'
er who among the supporters Of Mr.. Banks is

Cost Of the Public Printing.

The Washington Union publishes tables de.
rived from our off 'ial source, showing that
the entire amounts received by the printers OIL
the Senate and House respectively for two
years were: Senate printer, $50, 1923 25, or an
average Of s34,6ll 50 per annum /; House
printer, Sll9,2sS As. or an average Of $50,
644 22A per annum. The entire amount paid
for the printing ofboth Senate and House fol
two years is SlsS, Sill ca, or al average O
"a, 1928 844 per annum. The last session o
the 32d and the LIST o the 33d Congress onl,
are given in the ia bles because the report io
the second session Of the 33j Congress is not
yet made, the work not be ing finished. Those

My SuppoSilion that affairs in Kansas were

Did you ever see Horace Greeley? He has

than most people from town or country. A
distinguished Freesoiler has said the North
wants "backbone." Greeley has re-echoed
the sentiment. The remark applies to Horace
himself, though moi precisely in the sense in
which it has been applied 10 The North. He
goes numbering along the Avenue, with his
hat stuck on the back of his neck-where his
backbone would begin if he had any-bis
head down, and his arms thrust 10 the elbows

The Election Of Sneaker

The editor Of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
who has just returned from Washington, says:
"From all we saw and heard, we ore Saiis-
fed that Banks will finally be elected ander

be that Know-N othingiSm in The North will
succumb 10 Repablicnnism in the North, ann

self into the imposing sentiment Of the South,

sectional, the latter national. TO this con-
plexion hav9 we come OF last; the very State
of things feared and foreto.d by Washington
himself, and which he warns US against in bis
Farewell Address.
"The issue is, in fact, made up, and it mai
tiers but little in such a contest who the cppo-
silion candidate for the Presidency may be,
because the country will be found all one wa,

Presidential Arrangement Wise and Blu
chanan,

An important letter from Washington do
led the 10th inst, appears in the Richmond
Enquirer. We copy the paragraphs which
strike us most iorcibly as Of Importance in The
present exigencIes Of the Democratic party
1t will be seen that The leading paper in Mr..
Wise's interest gives currency 10 q report
which virtually wilhdraws him from The field.
The writer says:
"a feeling seems 10 exist throughout the
country al this time 10 bring Buchanan once
more before the country as o candidate for the
Presidency in 1856. This sheen determined
on by his friends, without knowing whether
il will 5e agreeable 10 him or not, indeed, il
is known he has written 10 his friends that he
has no wish ever again 10 enter into public
li(e-that for the la lance Of his life he desires
20 be exempt from active political turmoil.
His friends, however, think they have claims
on him, and on his noble State, which has
never yet had q candidate be fore the people
for the Presidency, and has never had but one
Vice President. 1t is conceded on all hands
that the Democratic party TO succeed in 1856,
must have at least one OF The three large
States, Ohio, New York or Pennsylvania. No
certain calculations can be made on the Two
FIRST, and il is therefore indispensable 10 Sc
cure the last. The majority which she has
recently given is one which can be relied Oh,
if her voice has its due height, but it is not
large enough 10 be tampered with.
Letters have been received here from Gov.
Wise. giving il as his opinion, in the present
stale Of parties and attitude OF the country,
that the South should present no candidate
for the Presidency in 1856. lie thinks (t is
said and believed) that there should be a cor
dial union of the arty on Buchanan. Never
have | seen the democrats in finer spirits, or
more confident OF success in 1856, and The ul-
innate and perpetual triumph Of sound prin'
ciples.
The names OF neither Gen. Cass or Judge
Douglas will be presented 10 the Cincianntl

season when fleSide comforts and enjoymentS

placed beyond the reach Of want and many
the sorrows TO the poor. Those who have
enough and 10 spare, while the wild piercing
winds are sweeping around their happy homes
