This amendment prohibits the payment Of 20

A gentleman on the Republican side OF the
House had said that he wished to arraign the ad-
ministration for extravagance. Yet We found Re
publicans voting with Democrats in favor OF the

justify this course with their professed desire for
economy
Mr.. II. COBB denied that the Democrats were
in favor Of giving the printer 20 per cent addi-
tional The gentleman from New York was there
fore endeavoring TO create erroneous impression
against the Democratic party. He did not believe
there was any diversity Of opinion on this subject,
among the Democratic members
But he was opposed 10 uniting subjects Of sp-

Hon. q. w. Jones. of Teunesse~. /.

This gentleman has written ponderous letter
Of Ave columns TO the Nashville Union, on the sub
ject of the organization Of the House. The Nash
vile Banner states that Mr.. Jones has boldly and
unequiyocally located himself with :" the Free-soi,
or Abolition, or Republican party, now commonly
called Black Republican party" He has done
this, and most significant and onnous is the fact,
that SO far as we have observed, not one Demo
cratic paper in the State has raised its voice in
buke and condemnation Here is the proof. In
his speech in the House of Representatives, De-
cember 2sth, 1855, Mr.. Jones said
/" In his opinion, the Kansas and Nebraska act
recognised the full force and power, in all its vigor
Of the right of the people of the Territories to le
gslate over this subject, slavery, prior to their
organisation as State Government, fully and
completely as was recognised the power OF the
people of the States over the subject of all domes
tic questions not delegated to the government
Gentlemen might call il what they pleased, non
Intervention, squatter sovereignty, or popular SOW
ereignty, it was power of the people which they
had never delegated to the government, and, in
his opinion, they, and they alone, should exercise
it as WeU while an Territorial condition as IN a
State Government" 5e f fs-
The late Robert IL. Stevens has left IN estate
of several millions to his brothers. He was one of
the richest men in New York or its vicinity.
For many years previous to his death he had
been engaged in constructing for government a
floating steam battery, for the defence of New
York harbor The sum of 100000 has been eI-
pended on this work. It's construction was car
ried on in secreta high board fence enclosing the
whole work. a e#H ~
Mr.. Stevens was a member Of family distin-
gushed for its enterprise in connection with steam
navigation and ALWAYS. His father, John Ste.
.vens, was associated with John Fitch in the in
fancy of steam navigation, and presented to the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, fifty years ago, an
original plan for railway.

Bile Know Nolhings and Wings voted
against him, some on account Of his sup,

he was falsely charged with being an

was regarded as an ultra Democrat-a

For the True American.
School Examination.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is to be regretted
that interests Of the highest character are
the most likely to be neglected among
these is the education of the youth both
male and female. Without other fortune,
with a sufficient knowledge Of science
and proper industry, the young gentleman
or lady is qualified to work their way
through the world, both to the advantage
of themselves and society.
Then, with what interest should the
means of such an education be regarded
by those who are capable of approaching
the interest of the multitude of youth grow
ing up in our midst, and the welfare of
our common country.
The common school system of our State,
although not perfect, is one of, if not her
brightest ornament, and of the most prac-
tical importance 10 her welfare as on the
proper education of the masses, depends
the safety of all her republican instilu-
tions.
Now with these facts generally admit.
ted, is it not surprising, that parents and
citizens should treat these schools in their
midst with cold Indifference, especially
on the occasion of an examination, when
they are politely requested to be present
to witness the progress of their own sons
and daughters, but do moi attend, thereby
saying, that is matter of no great inter-
est to me.
Mr.. editor, please say to all those neg,
ligent ones, that they missed quite treat
last week, by being absent from the ex-
animation of the High School Of this city 4;
the most satisfactory one the writer ever
attended-conducled by the gentlemanly
instructors, Messrs. Lindley and Buchan-
an.
The examination closed on Friday af.
tcrnoon, with a rescitaton in music, which
was also very creditable to the teacher of
this delightful science, Mr.. McClain.
