IL During the last twenty-five years great
improvements have been effected in all the me-
chanic arts. Steam as motive power has been
substituted in great measure for manual labor,
thus cheapening the cost, while in many branches
II would hardly be called cxtraragant, to assert
hat perfection has been arrived at, both as re-
,ards adaptation and beauty Of workmanship.
The art preservatise Of NIL arts, has not been
,llowed to languish or fall behind. The little
movable peices Of metal which make the i'm
preston which you are now reading, are made a
great deal cheaper, present far more beautiful
outline, and are every way far finer than those
manufactured years ago. But improvement is
more apparent in the Jobbing and Book Depart
,nents. Letter press printing is now done which
is decidedly more beautiful than many of the
Lane Engravings" which adorned the pages OF
Magazines thirty years ago. Types used in large
bills and posters, from the size of the letters
used on dry goods sign down, are now made
Of wood, cut by machinery run by steam. These
types are light durable and cheap, and far less
liable to break than metal, Of which all used to
be cast great and small. One of the largest wood
type manufactures in the United States, is that
of Messrs Day & Brothers, of Columbus, Ohio.
They employ convict labor, manufacture most OF
the type of this description sold out of foundries
and by dealers in printing materials in the North
west. And from using their types many years
we are satisfied no handsomer patterns are got
Up anywhere or finished in better style. They
nave carried the manufacture Of wood type to
great perfection and deserve the thanks of the
craft" everywhere. s

III recent letter of Col. Benton we End the
following respecting the repeal OF the Missouri
Companies and the new sstestn Of Democracy !:
Iconsidcr slavery citation fand its natural OF
spring, sectional antagonism) the greatest curse,
both socially and politically, which could befai
our Union; and that curse is now upon us, and
brought upon us acsignediy and for the worst of
purposes. The Missouri Compromise line the
work of patriotic men, had stood above thirty
years, and there was not one among those con.
irving It's repeal who was not upon the record
lin votes or speeches. for It's support, up to the
time of its abrogatiun; and Mr.. Calhoun himself,
as late is 1913, only two years before his death,
and after he had preached the doctrine of no
power in Congress to legislate upon slavery in
Territories--repudiate the idea of repeal, and
declared that the attempt to do so would "dis.
t,rb the peaee and harmony Of the Union IL
has been attempted and accomplished, and the
peace and harmony of the Union has been des-
troyed.
Out of the repeal of this Compromise has
sprung forth aep test of Democracy, which
consists in exactng party allegiances to the prin-
ciples of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. Tho first
inquiry upon the virtue of this new test, is to
lind out what those principles are; and the re-
suit is Numerically opposite, as 1t comes from
one side or the other of the Potomac River
From the North, the answer is squatter sover-
eighty! as being the inherent right of the peo-
pie of the Territory to decide the question of
slavery for themselves, and to have IT or not,
just as they please. In the South, that dehni-
ton is held to be rank demagoguery, and that
tie people Of the Territory, no more than Con-
gress, have not particle of power on the sub
Hect; that the Constitution carries slavery with
it into every Territory as soon as acquired over
rideing and controlling all laws against it, and
keeping it there in defiance of the people, or of
Congress, until the Territory becomes a State,
and excludes it. Thus the advocates of the test
are as opposite as light and darkness in telling
what it is, and surely they ought to agree upon
it before they require others to believe in it. 1t
is impossible to believe in both; and believe in
neither. / believe in the old doctrine-that the
territories are the property of the United States
and under the guardianship of Congress, and
subject to such laws as Congress chooses to pro-
vide for them, Tor to permit them to make for
themselves until they become States; and after
| that; (the children arrived at twenty-one years
of age, they are out of guardianship and have
all the rights of their fathers. This is my belief
and has been the belief of the whole United
States until lately, and especially the belief of
those who now deny it, and who are upon the
record, land that often and rcccnt) against their
own denial.

boots He took a seat in front of two old maids
who were travelling with three band-boxes and
a pet canary. Shortly after leaving Rochester,
the atmosphere became SO oppressive that 'the
strange looking gentleman said he would hang
up his cloak and "cool off few" He rose up
to DO this, which gave rise to Il screech on the
part of the ladies in the rear, that made the
conductor suppose that he had run over four

1t is only within the last few days that vegeta-
ton has made any material advancement. And
in saying, ''the trees are beginning to look
green" we are influenced more by desire TO be
in the fashion than by strict regard for veraci-
sy. For the verdure that is so easily discerned
IN the incipicnt foliage is rather prospective than
real. While we have been Illustrating on green
peas from the gardens OF Savanna, we have, at
the same time been compelled to use more than
ordinary care in guarding against the unscasoh-
able cold Of this cliate.
In political circles there is at present the most
unbroken quiet. All seem to be waiting for the
meeting and consequent results of the National
conventions. There was, at the time, some ex-
citement in reference to the elections in New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and
the doings of the Maine Legislature. The cleo
tlon in New Hampshire was regarded as afford
ton Of the different parties in the approaching
Presidential Campaign. The Administrator evil
IDENTIFY desired it to be SO considered, judging
from the efforts they are said to have made to
secure result as much as possible in their favor.
Some of the most effective speakers from other
ings. A large number of the citizens of the
State who were temporarily in Boston were in
duced to return doubtless upon reasonable terms,
80 as TO secure the assistance of their ballots.
Il is reported that not a small amount of mdterf-
al aid was brought into requisition. The contest
was close ono. vet the result was triumph in
favor of Freedom. Similar results were obtained
in the other States. II t be true, that coming
events cast their shadows BEFORE it would APP
pear that esea.s are making decidedly Northern
stated, the saadors seem to have a material lean
ing in that direction.
The acts of the Maine legislature, in the reno
val of Judge Davis and abolishing the Liquor
Law and rc-establishins the license system, were
carried by strict party vote. In conversation
with intelligent persons from that State, they
informed me that the doings Of the legislature
are far from being sanctioned by the popular
feeling, and that the next election will manifest
Is r.
the indignation Of the people in terms that can
not well be misunderstood. Soon after the re-
peal Of the Law the State Temperance paper came
out IN strong terms in favor Of organizing tohaye
it re-enacsed. But it is though, hes, to defer it
I'LL another year and not raise the point in the
next election, on account of other matters
which viii there engage the attention of the
people.
The Legislature Of this State have refused to
take any action apon the law at prssen. in force
here. This settles the question for another year;
and although complaints have been made on ac-
count Of the s,ringency Of the Law, ye.isis hoped
that, BY that time. the good results of its work
