ODD-FELLows' CELEBRATION AT CINCINNATI-
The Cincinnati papers contain glowing accounts of
the Odd Fellows procession and celebration in that
city, on Thursday last, in which number of the
Order from Baltimore, Frederick and Washington
city participated. There were over 1000 persons
in the procession, and it is said to have been the
most imposing pageant ever witnessed in Cincin-
natl. ~ ..
The literary exercises took place in Van Am
burgh's Circus, where the Rev. J. d. Williamson
delivered an Grafton. Odd-Fellowship, he said, has
a conservative influence. When men meet by the
sick bed and the grave, with such purposes as Odd.
Fellows meet feelings will arise that surmount the
prejudices of nations, party, and sect the com
mon bend of holy charity will comprehend them
all So strong is this influence, that if ever evil
hands should, in earnest, be employed in dissever-
ing our glorious Union, the Odd d-Fellows would be
found the last to quit the tie that binds this great
people into one nation.

Cuba.

The New York Tribune, having left Kansas
matters for moment, republishes the follow
ing extract from the address signed by the Min
listers whose names are attached to it, at Air la
Chapeue in 1854. The object of the Tribune
in publishing the article was to show that Mr.
BUCHANAN is not so conservative as some may
attempt to make appear. We republish it for
the same reason, and brief as this paragraph is,
it is full of manly craftsmanship, and thousands
will recur to it with delight:
"But Spain, deaf to the voice of her own
interest, and actuated by stubborn pride and a
false sense of honor, shall refuse to sell Cuba to
the United States, then the question will arise,
what ought to be the course of the American
Government uuder such circumstances? Self
preservation is the first law of nature with
States as well as with individuals. All nations
have at different periods acted upon this maxim.
Although it has been made the pretext for COM
mitting fragrant injustice, as in the partition Of
Poland, and other similar cases which history
recordsryet the principle ITSELF though often
abused, has always been recognized. The United
States has never acquired foot of Territory
except by fair purchase, or, as in the case Of
Texas, upon the free and voluntary application
Of that Independent State, who desired to blend
their destinies with our own. Even our acqni-
sitions from Mexico are no exception TO the
rule, because, although, We might have claimed
them by the right Of conquest, in just war,

Of the three statesman who were made most

his name bcgets confidence in every part of the
Union. For forty years he has lived in The pub
lie eye. He has the largest experience in poll
tcal affairs, and from his long services in the Ex-
ecutive and Legislative department Of the Gov
ernment, he possesses perfect familiarity with ev-
cry branch of administration. In the discharge
of his public duties, his great talents have been
unver ally recognized, and the purity Of his
character commands the respect Of his country
men without distinction Of party In other
countries he is the most distinguished living rep

One Instance out Of n Thousand.
An incident came under our eye, at the polls
in NOttoway township on the day Of the last
township election, which is worth relating, as
showing the change whichis rapidly taking place
in the public mind in reference to the Kansas
question.
Two men, who were formerly good and true
Democrats, but who, for the past two years have
voted with the Fusionists, came up to VOTE
Both Democratic and Republican tickets were
handed to them. The oldest of the two men
"a steady, intelligent farmer-looked over
each ticket dropped the Black Republican, fol-
ded up the Democratic, and quietly started of
for the ballot box.
"Why Mr.---,how is this?' said a
Black Republican, who was standing by; 1

mer, '1or the last two years; but the fact is,
am getting heartily sick of your everlasting ding

talk of nothing else-it is the same song over
and overland am tired of it. 1t is a hum
bug, and am going to vote with the Democrats
again, | always used to act with that party, and
l am going to do it again. 1t is the only party
that keeps straight along, without turning to
the right and left to pick up every ism that pro-
misses vote. You don't catch that party ri
ding hobby one year, then dropping it and
mounting something else--you don't catch that
party changing its name every year or two
1t keeps straight along the old beaten path

all, tire to tie aohole american Intoai It is
good old party-and although you get it down
sometimes, it won't stay down--it comes out

"Those are my sentiments, exactly" said the
old gcntlemans companion. II have heard
enough of Kansas, niger, slavery freedom,

ticket straight" And they both walked up and
deposited their votes.
These are but single instances out of thou
sands all over the country. The public have
been er-dosed-surfeited- The
charm is broken. Reason is resuming her
throne. AndaS a consequence, the National
Democratic party is fast gaining the asccndency.

Black Republican HyvOcricy.

The Republican party had its origin in and
maintains its position by opposition to the Kan
sas Nebraska Bil-the great iniquity Of which
is that it allows the inhabitants of the terrific
ries to manage their domestic affairs in their
own way. Now, if the Republicans think it
such an outrageous thing for men to govern
themselves and attach so much importance to
the Missouri Compromise, as to ignore all other
questions, for the sake Of proving that major
ity of the people of the Union are hostile to
the principles of the law repeating it, why have
they made no attempt in that branch of Con-
grcss in which they have the asccndency, to re-
establish the Missouri Compromise line, which
they affect to think was so essential to the free
dom and happiness of Ehe people of this Union?
Will any of the "shrigkers for freedom" here
abouts answer this questiS1
Until they do, the people will look upon their
''shrieks for freedom as near akin to the mock
calls of the turkey hunter, made for the purpose
of Turing his unsuspecting victims on to ruin
Nothing more is wanting to convince the refec-
ting portion of the people that the great fuss
anu huinfheiy vi tne DiaCk hCpuDlCafS, ABOUT
the Nebraska iniquity" is all for Buncombe,
than the fact that they have not seen proper to
make the least move in Congress to restore the
line they lament so much about being broken
down. 1t is well known that many if not all
| the opposition members of Congress were elec-
ted with the understanding that they would
make an effort, at least to restore this line -
How are they redceming their pledges! What
has the representative in Congress from this
district to say in extenuation of his dereiction
in this respect? No one was louder in his con-
demnation of the abrogation Of the line alluded
to, and if we are not greatly mistaken he gave
| his constituents to understand before his elect
ion that if successful he would doall in his pow
er to restore said line. Better than five months
have elapsed since they met: but we have not
yet seen the first move towards its restoration.
Why is this? They either think the line was
wrong, and that consequently it would be inn
proper to restore it, or fit was right, they show
by their apathy in regard to its restoration they
are not trust worthy conservators of that free
dom" about which they so necessarily prate.--
Take which horn Of the dilemma they please.
their predcament is most wickedly hypocriti-
cal.--J@asoman.

yet we purchased them for what was then con-

acquire the Island Of Cuba without the consent
of Spain, unless justified by the great law Of
