A Barren Raron.

We had thought, until reading the Demo-
crat of Monday that the Constitution of the
United States prevented any citizen of this
country from accepting any title of nobility
or Of retaining any such title after becom-
ing citizen thereof. 1t appears we were
mistaken. The Democrat calls particular
attention to the notice of one BARON
Freudenreich, who comes out in card and IN
a sort of dictatorial manner almost com
mands the Germans to vote for Mr.. Rice.
Whether his self-imagined Z" serfs will obey
his mandate or not is the question with the
Rice people. We say no! The German vo-
ters will show this American Baron on the
day of election, that he is only barren OF po-
litical influence. He is the first and last of
the Barons in this Republican country

That Mr.. Rice was for the Land Sales on
the 18th of July, and was against them a
few days afterwards, upon finding that the
people did not wish the sales to take place.
Let it also be understood, that he now pro-
fesses to be against the Nebraska iniquity.
although he made speech in favor of it at
the time of its passage. Let the people un-
derstand that Mr.. Rice is man who in this
emergency "plays on harp of thousand
strings "-none of which accord to the same
music.

SPEAKEKsHIr.-Wa shinston letter writer's
begin to speculate about the Speakership of
the House. The Times writer says:
The canvass for Speakership of the House
has commenced with great animation. The
Republican fusionists have, perhaps, great
er number of members than any other party
or faction. Their candidate is not yet settled
upon. 1t may be Mace of Indiana, formerly
a Democrat l.. D. Campbell, of Ohio, Free
Soil Wing Banks, of Mass, late a Free
Soil Democrat; or Giddings, Independent
The Democrats have numerous competitors
There are Richardson, of Illinois Orr, of
S. c.; Howell Cobb, of Georgia, if elected
by the people; Thos. II. Bayley, and other
Virginians. There are not more than a
dozen Wings proper in the House. They
will hardly run separate candidate. The
preferences of the Know Nothings are divi-
ded between Havcns, of n. Y, late Wing,
and perhaps the most prominent representa-
tive of the Order; Humphrey Marshall late
Fillmore and Silver Grey Wing Extra Billy
Smith, of Va, late fire-eating Democrat
Judge William w. Smith, of Alabama, late
Democrat; and Banks, of Mass, named
above. OF these last five, l consider the
chances of Ravens and Marshall to he near
ly balanced, and practically to absorb those
of all others of the X. N. platform. The
Southern X. n. Wings will ardently support
Hon. Theodore Hewett, of New Orleans, if
he shall be elected which is yet too doubt
full to be confidently spcculated upon.

HENNEPIN.-The Henncpin Republicans
had two fine meetings at Minneapolis on

Hennepin is Republican, certain and sure.

A letter has been received from julius
Rockwell, accepting the nomination of the
Fusion or Republican party for GOVERNOR
He declares his opinion based upon his ex-
perience in Congress that the Wing party as
national party had ceased to exist, and he
expresses hope that the Republicans OF
the Free States may unite and form ma
tional party.
The struggle, if brief or protracted, will
not, he thinks, break up the Union. The
more earnest it be the less danger Of that
but if it results in the establishment of Sla-
very, as national institution, the seeds OF
decay and dissolution will be planted. The
acceptance of Mr.. Rockwell of the fusion
nomination, makes it very doubtful if the
Wings will adopt him at their Convention
Oh Tuesday next.

A young lady in Charleston, S: c., took
laudnum, but did not find the quiet of the
grave therefrom: When fully recovered, she
confessed with tears in her eyes, that her
lover, in parting from her on the night be-
fore the day she swallowed the poison, had
kissed her on the cheek instead of the lips,
as was his custom. He had never been so
'scruel' before, aiid from that moment life
became burden and curse.
