Among all the " accomplishments which

to be regretted that the art Of conversation is
not included. No grace Of person or manners
can compensate for lack of this. In youth
the conversation of our women is apt TO be
trihing and insipid, and in middle age il too
often confined TO complaints of health, and the
scandal Of the day. Lively conversation, upon
instructive and elevating topics, is but little
practiced, but wherever it is found it gives a
charm to the society Of females which nothing
else can. It triumphs over deformity and old
age, and makes ugliness itself agreeable. Cur

A Fair Word from Bitter Enemy-work
ing-meu Read


The Boston Chronicle, a sheet that daily
teens with the bitterest denunciations of the
Democratic platform and the Democratic
candidates, has the maniiness to set at rest
one of the foul calumnies raked up by the
opposition against Mr.. Buchanan. Read the
article, workingmen, and learn that the tricks
and falsehoods of the Democrats are so
base that they cannot be swallowed, even by
their own friends:
ave regret to see that the foolish old
story that Mr.. Buchanan once said that "ten
cents a day were wages enough for a work
ingman," has been revived, and is now COM
monly spoken of as If it were well established
that such is his opinion. TT Mr. buchanan
were so hard-hearted as 10 hold. to any such
opinion respecting the social rights Of the
producers Of wealth-the mighty industrial
classes who love their country disinter-
estedly-he is no such fool as to avow IL.
But he never said, OF Thought, anything OF
the kind, nor anything that would bear any
such construction. Mr.. Buchanan is a states
man, aud he knows that no nation can be
powerful where the mass Of the people have
no more than sixty cents a week on which 10
live. He is man of ordinary humanity, we
take it for granted, and is not pleased with
the sight Of human suffering; and what but
suffering could exist in a country where the
wages of working men should be less than
were those of the poorest laborers of England
two hundred years ago.
To represent Mr.. Buchanan as having
made the remark attributed to him, in the
absence Of all proof, is knavish. To represent
him as having said that the very people
whom he expects to elect him their chef
magistrate should be reduced to a state of
unparalleled pluperism, is foolish. A charge
into which knsvery and folly both enter can
never harm the man against whom it Is d.
rected, in the estimation Of an intelligent
people. 1t can injure onl Sthose who make
it, and those only ought TO be injured by IL.
We bleye Mr.. Buchanan would heartily re-
joice to know that every working man in the
world was earning enough TO live comfort
ably and ID place something aside every week
We believe, too that he would be S ready
as any man to do his part towards realizing
that "good time" that We all hope is to como
for the children Of toll 1t is unfortunate
for him that his position in politics is such
as to cause many Democrats to oppose him
who can find little to object to him as a man.

Slavery or POlygsny, the offspring Of its high

and protect but to make or unmake them, is
beyond its ability. With such views impressed
upon US, we hold that neither in the States nor
in the Terrritories-and no more in the Terri

power 10 prescribe what shall be the domestic

1t IS for the peace of society that such is the

The obvious conclusion intended to be de-
duced from the above resolution is, that Con-
gress has the right To deny admission into the
coniederacy to any State with whose domestic
relations amaority of its members are dissatis.
fed. This doctrine is advocated by writer's
and politicians of both extremes-the South TO
keep rid Of a northern State, under a pretence
of terror at the awful sin Of polygamy ia Utah;
the North with an equally DISTINGUISHED motive
TO shut out all applying Slave States, upon the
pious plea of fear Of the consequences OF the
crime Of Slavery. We confess no present desire
for the multiplication of Slave States: but al
the same time would, with all our might, resist
their exclusion upon false pretences or uncon-
stitutional grounds. When State with re-
publican constitution knocks for admission at
the door Of the Union, showing that it has the
proper number of inhabitants to constitute

fraud or violence used in fixing the provisions
