A Good Suggestion.

The Editor of the La Porte Hsses has
been collecting the literary statistics Of his
county. so far as they can be gathered from
the post Office. There are fourteen post
offices in the county, and he has ascertained
the number Of papers. periodicals, and mag
azines of every description. received at each,
and also classified them according 10 their
character. The Times says:
From the six most important Offices in
the county we learn then-that there are SUBJ
scribed for and taken through the post Offices
of this county, ,461 copies Of periodicals, to
which add 800 for Offices not reported, and
500 for papers and magazines distributed by
other than the post Offices, and we have
5,26l, giving us an average of about one
copy to every three persons in the county
and nearly two copies of some kind OF public
print for each voter in the county.
Imperfect as the above of necessity must
be-iD points of interest which time and at
tention might have developed-it is never
theless highly suggestive of the intelligence
and lberality of our community. We have
taken the initiatory step, and hope our cotsm-
poraries may carry out the design Of exhibit
ing the reading matter Of their respective
districts, in more perfect, and better digestsd
manner however, than we have"
Papers in other counties should carry out
this suggestion.

benton against Calhoun.

We are informed by the New York Even
ing Post, that Col. Benton is industriously en-
gagged in the composition OF the second vol
ume of his Historic Cslumnies. The Post
furnishes a chapter from the forthcoming
work, in which the author attempts to show
that Mr. Calhoun was originally in favor Of
the Missouri Compromise, and that in subse-
quently denying the fact, he displayed
either a disregard oftruth or strangely treach-
erous memory.
Instead of devoting the few remaining
years of an illspent life TO the penitential Of
fees of truth and charity, Col. Benton az
ponds his almost exhausted energies in par
oxysm of fiendish passion; and when he
should be imploring mercy for his manifold
sins, in rendering Justice to Others, he employs
himself in rearing upon the grave ola political
opponent a monument TO his own undying
hate and reckless mendacity. There is no
such sad and humilliating illustration Of the
''ruling passion strong in death, is display
ed in this attempt of Col. Benton TO dishoner
the memory Of John C. Calhoun. But the
enterprise will be AS barren Of result, as it is
shameful in design and remorseless in execu-
ton. Remarkable as is his ingenuity in mis-
statement, and great as are his powers Of in
vective, Col. Benton will not triumph In the
contest with truth and justice, before the Inn
partial tribunal Of posterity. He cannot de-
throne the great statesman Of the South, from
his pedestal Of power and glory. He cannot
blacken the character of Calhoun with the
profuse and incessant stream of his viturpstion,
any more than with its fetid discharge the
skunk can quench the rays of the sun.-Rick-
m0ld Va Enquirer.

Is Mrs. Robinson to be Hung?

The Buffalo Democracy is earnest against
the execution of woman, and we think
touches the true philosophy of the case in the
following paragraph.
The sturdiest and harshest sticklers for the
law of the gallows, and the divine origin of
the death penalty, in this country, instinct
lively recoil from the hanging of female
This national sentiment is part of the ma
tional civilization. The honoring of woman
is an American excellence, ami an essential
and indispensable element in the stability and
perfection of republican government. The
sex is outraged by the rutfianly debasement
OF young female, in hanging her forcibly
up IN public with rope round her neck till
she strangles. No good can possibly be ac-
complished to our penal system, by the exc
cution of Mrs. Robinson, which will begin TO
compensate for the deep injury our venera-
ton of woman will receive, by an act which
puts her upon the same level with men, and
Furnishes her offences with the same coarse
ness and severity with which we punish the
crimes of the male ruffians of the State.
We do not care what Mrs. Robinson did.
nor how she has acted. The degree of her
guilt is of no moment to usher antecedents
are nothing-her conduct during imprison-
ment nothing. She is a woman. That is
enough. 1t will be disgrace to our State to
hang her. We again beg Myron H. Clark to
save the reputation Of New York, and the
credit of his own administration, from the
shame Of executing woman.

The New French Ambassador and the


We have no faith in the depth and sincerl-
ty of the present French and English ALI
ance. If anything were wanted TO prove how
hollow it's, the appointment Of NJ. de Per-
signey 10 the Court of James. and his cordial
reception, prove it He is Ivy all accounts a
low, vulgar, Boosting, passionate man. with
no one quality to recommend him, but an ex-
IRENE, INSCRIPTIONS adherence TO ultra Bona
partisan. He openly advocated the restoa-
ton Of the Rhine the boundary Of France
few years ago; and has been for several
months abusing the Emperor roundly for his
moderate counsels.
1t may be asked why such a man is sent 10
England to keep up the cordial alliance. 1t
is probably only brief appointment intended
as threat to Austria and Prussia giving 20
the alliance the appearance Of cordial sntipa-
thy to the course pursued especially by Aus
tria. 1t is so regarded in that country.
But why does England so cordially receive
such an ambassador? For the same reason
that it so warmly welcomed the Emperor and
Empress, policyl It's cheaper easier and less
trouble to feast these men than 10 fight them.
If the Emperor pursue wise and moderate
course, England is willing to have q cordial
alliance. 1.-The become violent and desperate,
as he is very likely to do Lord Palmeston
knows that he will in all probability be over
thrown by his own people. Any accident
may destroy, as it has raised him. England
will always act up 10 her engagements with
him, and will be cordial as long as possible.
But 1t is difficult to suppose that she has any
regard for Court whose representative must
shock at once all her most settled prejudices.
and even her best principles If things were
! not pretty desperate at home with this EN-
peror, he would scarcely send such an agent
abroad. While England, in receiving him, and
her Queen, in promising to return the royal
visit in August, prove that the whole eItsends
cordiale is only State farce, kept up not out
ofrespect but from policy, as the easiest means
of avoiding any dispute with dangerous
man.
We Americans feel disposed to doubt the
responsibility of all this Court feasting where
there cannot be real cordiality. There is an
ancient book whose maxims are professedly
good deal respected in England, and itseems
to us that one day there will very likely be
considerable difficulty arising out of the for
getfulness Of Its maxims;
"Eat tn on not the bread of him that hath
an evil eve, neither desire thou his dainty
meats. Eat and drink saith he, but his heart
is not with thee The morsal which thou
hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy
sweet words"--PhH. Ledger.

The South Faithful to the North ern
Democracy.

Governor JOHNSON, the Democratic Gov
crnor of Georgia was recently applied to to
join an independent Southern organization;
but he Indignantly refused, and among other
things said:
an the last Congress when one great prin-
ciple of the Compromis Measures, that new
States should be admitted into the Union,
with or without slavery, as their people
might determine for themselves, came to be
practically applied on the passage of the
Kansas Nebraska bill, did not a large portion
of Northern and Western Democratic mem
bers faithfully redeem their pledges? Did
they not aid the South in repeating the Mis-
souri, restriction, under which she had writhed
for thirty years, as degrading to her equality
and violative of the Constitution? If these
things be true why should Georgia dissolve
her alliance with the sound Democrats of the
North? What have they done since We
marched with them to victory in the late
Presidential election, to forfeit our conf
dence? / know that all Northern Demo
Gratis are not necessarily, sound upon the
Slavery question--many of them are rotten
to the hearts centre But do not believe
that the sound men among them govern the
Democratic party North, so az to prevent a
permanent course of policy by that party hos
tile to the rights and interests Of the South.
They are at least the opponents of apower-
full sIbstratum of patriotism and constitutional
conservatism among the masses of the people
of the North, which will crop out in times of
peril and stand like avail of granite against
the tide of fanaticism. Therefore, think,
we are bound in good faith to stand by them
so long as they are true to the pledges to
which have alluded. Let us preserve the
brotherhood of party alliance between the
North and the South while it affords hope
for the maintenance of our rights in the
Union.
"But the preamble to your resolutions as
serts that the gallant band of patriots within
those States who are friends to the South
and faithful to the Constitution. and whom
we remember with gratitude, have been
routed, disbanded and almost annihilated {,
and, therefore, the Temperance Hall meeting
solemnly resolve to 'repudiate all fellowship
with the present national political organiza-
TONS 1t is even true that these, our friends
have fallen. But how and at whose hands?
Fallen in their strife for us - for repeating
the Missouri restriction-for standing by the
principle that the people of new States shall
determine fer themselves the question Of
slavery, and be admitted into the Union ac-
cordingly-for abiding the Fugitive Slave
law-fallen at the hands of the enemies OF
the South, banded together in internal alli-
ancs under the sable Gag of Know Nothing
ism. which, at the North. is but another name
for Preesoil and Abolitionism? Is it for such
reason as this, we should abandon them!
Southern chivalry revolts at the proposition,
Southern gratitude will not permit it to be
entertained. Ours are not the people to leave
the wounded and dying on the field when
they have received the blows for fighting by
their side."

or-rTbs New York H.ro,d saw. tina, At least

GTThe New York Herald says that at least
one-half Of the Platform of the Philadelphia
Know Nothing Council is balderdash. and
mere words and stuff" The resolutions on
Slavery are abundantly satisfactory to the
South in their language, but it is believed
there that they will be entirely unavalllng III
practice, and that the sincerity of the mem
bers cannot be relied on. Some plausiollity
is given to this conviction by the course OF
Northern papers which profess to adhere to
the platform. The New York Express,
Jealous Native American organ, puts such
construction or the Slavery resolutions that
every member is free to vote against the adj
mission of Kansas.
The New York Mirror and the Courier
and Enquirer while protesting to sustain the
order, express great dissatisfaction at the re
suit of the Councils deliberations. The or
gans of the order in Pennsylvania and New
jersey also repudiate the action of the Con-
vention. To say nothing of the seeding del
egates and the States they carry, it is clear
that the nationality of the X. n. party is COM
pletely destroyed. There is nothing left OF
it but the Southern wing, which must Of ne
cessity make the question of foreigners Sec
ondary to that of Slavery, and, of course,
stand in hostile array against their late North
ern Associates. The South will present an
unbroken front to Northern aggression, and
with the aid of the Democracy Of the North
the Ship of State can be held to her moor
ings.
The Know Nothings of the South can
sink the question of foreigners with good
grace; for foreign influence is to them rc
mote and contingent danger. But, car
Northern Know Nothings merge their prin
ciples, OF rather abandon them entirely anC
90 over into the abolition camp to fight diff
ferent battle under another standard? Mil
ton Gregg, and some of his political friends
signed the call for the Convention on tn,
18th. If men of his class appear, we shall
look with interest to their squirming.
But with the Democracy all is plain sailing
Perfect unity of sentiment and action will
like the impenetrable Greek phalanx, al
ways secure victory.

@ proposition was made by some Of
the papers to establish an anniversary in COM
memoration of the Federal constitution. The
proposition was favorably received and went
the round of the press, and died out We
would like to see it revived and agitated un-
til the public feel an actual interest in the
matter. This is time when the value of
the Constitution cannot be too earnestly or
freqently impressed on the public mind. 1t
is not extravagant TO say that the Declare
ton Of Independence and our Revolutionary
struggle would have been of no avail but for
the Federal Constitution, the keystone of the

Prospects of the Democracy in Ken
lucky.


That valuable and reliable paper the Ken
lucky Keoman, speaks in the most encour-
aging manner of the prospect in Kentucky
Letters from gentlemen of the best judgment
who have means of ascertaining public sem
timent, indicate decisive triumph. Clarke,
Magofin and Woolley, express the highest
confidence in the success of the ticket; al
though, of course, the opinions of candidates
are to be received with some grains of allow
ance. In the Louisville District Preston's
election is spoken of as fixed fact, and equal
certainty is expressed in relation to several
other districts
From the same paper we learn that More
head declines to meet Clarke, although he
was invited to do so and occupy half the
time with him. Their plan is to have Clarke
met at different points by different men who
can reiterate stale lies which Morehead
would be ashamed to repeat.
The Yeonsan gives the following statement
of the prospects in the several Districts:
In the First District HENRY C. BURNET,
has really no opposition. He will beat Gen
MoRRow, his Know Nothing opponent, abou
5000 majority, and the district will Civ
about 1000 majority for the State ticket.
In the Second, Third, Fourth. and Fiftl
Districts, the contest is very animated, ant
there is every reason to hope that the Demo
cratic ticket will triumph in all four of them
In the Second it is fully believed that Dl
PEYToN will beat JOHN P. CAMPBELL, ant
that the district will vote for the State ticket
In the Third, Col BATES friends thinks b
will be elected. and that the State ticket vii
triumph. In the Fourth, TALBOT will bea
Fox thousand votes, and that the contes
on the State ticket will be close. In tn
\ Fifth, JEwETT will beat CHARLEY WINTER
SMITH about 1000, and the State ticket vii
carry by about the same vote.
In the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth district
the contest will he hard fought, but we fee
confident that the Congressional and Stat
tickets will carry in all of them. In tn
Louisville district PASSIONS election is cer
tain, and our information from the mountain
speaks in the most confident terms of tn
success of ELLIOT.
In the Eighth district, STANTON will b
elected by about 1000 majority; and in tn
Tenth, HARRIS will beat SwoPE about 800
The State ticket will succeed in the sam
districts by from 1000 to 1000 majority.
