A Manly Rebuke.

When the leaders Of the Slave Democracy
in the U. S. Senate, in order to getriI of the
New State question forced upon their notice
BY the presentation of the Constitution o.
Kanzas by Gen. Lane, affected not to know
who Gen. Lane was: and when Gen. Cass
who presented the document TO the Senate
having recognized in Gen. Lane an old sup
porter and sound Democrat according to
the creed of '52, declined to speak in behalf
of his friend, and meanly submitted to the
bullying of the Oligarchy: Ben. F. Wade, oI
Ohio, although a personal stranger to Lane
and politically opposed, yet sympathising
with FREEDOM wherever it raised its voice
''faced the music" and boldly told the major
iry that they were dodging the question and
"were acting like ?ettifoggers!''
But who is Gen. Lane that these men
should fout him! He is now Senator elect
from: Kanzas. He was Colonel at the bat
tie of Buena Vista and acquitted himselfg gal
lantly: He was in 1852 Democratic Elector
from Indiana, been Lieut.. Governor of his
State, and was in "a Member of Congress
and voted for the 'Kanzas-Nebraska bill
But he is not in favor Of making kanzas a
SiQUe SAFE, and that settles the question
with the Slave Democracy!
His memorial, with accompanying afida-
Wit of the correctness of the d. aught present
ed by Gen. Cass-abuut which the pettifo-
ge raised question to escape the main
issue--was laid on the table by the manly
Senators, Cass and Douglas of 20 arse agree
ing in action, if not in sentiment. U! the
meaness of owardly demagOgucs
The Washington correspondent OF N. Y.
Tribune thus alIudes to the debate that pre-
ceded the virtual rejection OF Lanes memo
rial. "The debate was abe aud spirited on
both sides, though did not think Pug h made
much headway. 1t is said Lane was a
cassmate OF Pugh's. He should not have
left his old friend, socially and politically SO,
to the defence of stranger. But Slavery
damands the sacrifice of all manhood, both
body and soul.] Wade's remarks were es-
pecially manly and telling, the manner even
better than the matter. When Seward
mildly hinted on Thursday d at the cavils
against the K NJ: S Memorial were worthy
rather of CT oss-examI e:s in a county court
than statesmen in the Sen tie Crittenden
hared up incontinently: but when Wade to-
day told the Slave party plumPly that they
were acting like pettifoggers; not one saw
fit to resent it. don't believe anybody in
that Senate W Il be in hurry to bully Frank

To Teachers.

@For the last week or two the sweet
violet and even the modest little snowdrop,
have plead eloquently with the stern old ty-
rant Winter, and we all thought that his
obdurate, icy heart was melted, and he had
quietly retired to his Northern retreat, but a
day or two since he came back with his
fierce breath, breaking the gentle hearts OF
the flowers, and freezing their tears upon
their checks. 1T is the old story of broken
promises and hearts. We quote as remark
ably appropriate in the present "spell of
weather, those expressive lines from the
pen of /. Donohoo, written expressly for the
occasion:-
The first bird of Spring attempted to sing,
But ere he had sounded a note,

Mr.. Fillmore, and his nomination.
The nomination of Mr.. Fillmore by the
American party has at length reached him
at Rome. A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, writing from that metropolis,
under date of Goth ult. says:
"The news of NJ. Fillmore's nomination
by the "Americans" was received here on
Monday last and caused much rejoicing. Ii
was announced to him by numerous body
of friends, but had rot the least influence or
him, who really seems to be the most imper'

turned the other day from Naples in good
health and fine spirits, and will return early
this summer to the United States. Balls
and festivities have been given to him all
over Europe, and at this distance from home
where party feelings naturally subside, and
American sentiments become the only ones
distinguishable to patriots, it is no exagger.
alton to say, that Mr.. Fillmore has no enemy

THE CINCINNATI NATIONAL CONVENTION
The New York News, one of the org; ns ol
the Hards, says that it is impossible for the
two sections of the Democratic party of tina,
State to sit together or to vote together in
the Cincinnati National Convention. The
editor asks:
sIs it likely that any name can be propos
sed upon. which they can unite, that any
platform can be laid down upon which they
can ..harmoniously stand! Certainly not
and the vote of NewYork.. must, therefore
remain withheld: it can never be cast in
Convention. To admit the two delegl
tons would be virtually to eject New Yorl
from the Convention, for she could s!neve
agree to vote"

The Presidency.

A special correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune writes from Washington under date
of April -, as follows:
Everybody is full of the Presidency
Among the Republicans there is strong
apparent current for Frem, mt. Some say
it is all set running by the politicians, and
wont Go. Mr.. Chase has numerous friends.
So has Banks. Judge Mclean is spoken Of.
Preston King is not much mentioned, but
who is a better mani But amid all the
rivalry of sentiment no hostility PREVAILS
There is an unusual disposition to defer all
personal preferences to the good of the
cause. The aim of ali is for the best and
strongest man. There is need of great wis
dom and caution in the selection. This is
felt bv all, and no desire is exhibited to
crowd anybody as candidate upon an un-
willing minority. This feeling seems now
so strong as 10 insure unanimity at the
close. OF the prominent candidates, Col.
Fremont is the most questionable by his
antecedents, and the one upon whom strong
doubts center. Let there be no haste and
no dropping of the substance in the pursuit
of the shadow. The opposition to Nebras-
kaism stands on principle. In the selec-
tion of a candidate this must be recognized
first of all. Availability is good in its place;
but let all look sharp that we do not aband-
on what we know to be good for that which
though promising, may prove deceptive.
need not argue the point 1t is enough that
! suggest it.
1t needs no extra penetration to see a
rising spirit here at the prospects of Free
dom in the ensuing canvas. The day al
ready breaks which betokens the coming
sun. The question to be decided by the
Presidential election is, ''Shall Kansas be q
Freespr Slave State!" The electricity ot
the question will consume the withes o.
party and flash Liberty over a continent.

COTTON SUPERsEDED BY SILK.-The Pari:
correspondent Of The London Atlas says:
ave hail with delight the announcement
that saUant has just made SO valuable O
discovery in the art of preparing silk, that
this article will become cheaper and more
common than cotton. This Sardnt, it ap-
pears, cne day having nothing else to do,
began to taiRt, which is wonderful for a
saUant says Alphonse Karr-that there was
but one creature capable Of producing silk
there was but one description of vegetable
matter, that of the mulberry tree, fitted for
that creatures food, therefore the silky SUBJ
stance must not lie in the animal, but in the
vegetable matter, so at once the saUant
set about analyzing the composition of the
mulberry leaf, and by boiling it to thick
paste has produced every description of
silk in immense quantities. 1 have seen
several yards of manufacture, and although
wanting little OF the gloss belonging 10
that spun by the worm, can pronounce it as
superior 10 the finest .fou'ard hitherto made.
The price of the silk is five francs a pound
when spun, being one hundred and twenty
francs cheaper than that of the present day.
This new method of procuring silk will at
once be adopted in all countries, as the null
berry can be grown in any country, and re-
quires scarcely any culture. The cultiva-
tion of this new branch Of industry will do
away entirely with that of cotton, so that
Slavery will have a natural cause of aban-
donmeut in the United States, lit lie antici-
pated at the beginning of the century,"
