Va '"AoS ~ WsS SAi1Po " SooH, o1isso
the hope deferred sickens the heart,
and the man drops his energies and
along with it bis industry. Many of
our people have been so long suspend
ed upon sthe tenter hook" that they
have just become contentto erist mot.
to live in any just sense Of the word.
Whenevera people fail to realize some
thing like fair wages for labor, they
become discouraged and abandon
themselves to idleness and vice.
While they can do as well as others
they are content to labor, but while
Others grow rich with no more labor
than they perform, discomfort and ev-
cry excess have ever been the prom
inent items in their subsequent histo-
ny. (The price of labor in some Of
the northern cities has superinduced
a state Of things that confirms all we
have claimed) Labor expended in the
production Of our staples is as abun-
dainty rewarded from the soil as in
most Of countries-but the product
being valueless for want of a market,
has the same effect upon labor as poor
pay, and idleness is the result. A
few months ago corn was worth 30
cents per bushel on the Rail Roads
around us-here it was worth 20 cts.
Wheat was there dollar-here it
was so cents on time or in barter, &c.
In view of such facts, where, / ask,
have our people an inducement to ex-
|ertion? Who cares about making an
effort when he can exist without it, and
can only live with it? Who tries to
make his acres produce ten barrels
where they now only produce eight,
when he can realize no profit by the
operation, save "the beholding of it
with his eyes?' Ourneighbors are get
ting rich on poor lands compared with
ours, because they have market
we are getting poorer and poorer for
want of one. Fellow-citizens, let us
quit our INDECENT habits and 90 to
work for better pay than we ever have
received. Let US provide ourselves
with market, and thus put an end
to an enormous evil among us, and
secure to ourselves an important aux
iliary to wealth. Don't think me ex-
travagant in asserting that the time
wasted by our citizens would in two
years provide ourselves with market.
In our next, we will attempt re-
view of the "despicab!e homes doc
trine," and try to show that it is our
interest to make Home attractive. In
the meantime, regard me the iiiend
of the IRON HORSE.

Counterfeit gold dollars are in cir
culation at the West. The Buffalo
Express thus describes them: 1t is
of the smaller of the two sizes OF
the coin. As compared with the
genuine, it is a shade darker and OF
less delicate finish. The points Of
the stars are not so sharp, and there
is ageneral bluntness of the reliefs.--
The date ofthe piece to which we re-.
fer is 1852. There is no ring to it
when dropped on hard substance,
like that which is attached to the le-
gal dollar.

One Of the editors of the South

paper Published at Petersburg, Va,
has been 10 Washington city, for

paper Of the Esd ultimo, We find the
following sentence;
"Of the present House of Repre-
sentatives one hundred and tsceaty-
one members are Know Nothings,
and were elected as such. Ofthess,
over eighty are voting for the most
besotted Abolitionist that ever was in

SAD SToRY--The Troy, n Y, pa
pers tell a sad story. A young lady
of that city was engaged to be marri-
ed to a gentleman from Long Island,
and the wedding day was appointed,
but on account of the death of a
brother the ceremony was postponed.
Again the wedding day was appoint
ed, when the death Of a sister oeca-
stoned another postponement. For
third time a day was appointed,
and before it arrived the intended
bridegroom fell before the 'insatiate
archer, leaving the thrice stricken
mourner desolate indeed.

Speaker Elected!!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The House
proceeded to ballot for Speaker with
following result: Banks 102, Aiken
9S, Fuller 14,-Barcley, Hickman
and Orr voted for Wells, and Dunn.
Harrison, Moore, and Scott for Camp
bell of Ohio--necessary to a choice
los. The next vote, with the exceu-
ton that Fuller lost one, was the
same. The third vote was the same
as the second excepting Aiken lost
one. Fuller of Pa, repeated what
ne had said on two former occasions.
namely that he was not and did not
desire to be candidate. $50 ballots
had satisfied him that be was not the
choice of majority of that body and
on no other terms or conditions would
ne consent to take that position.
Mr.. Barclay remarked that be had
been avefse to anything like a coali-
ton with Know NothiDgism whetherit
came from North or South. He asked
MIR. Aiken whether he stood upon
the Democratic platform and whether
