Before the world Mr.. Clay stands
acquitted of the calumny which Buch-
anan endeavored to heap upon him.
The history of his country will do him
ample justice. His name will stand upon
its pages, Illuminated by a well-earned
fame for patriotism and faithful devotion
to public interests, when those of his
accusers will be lost in merited oblivion.
But there is another and meaner phase
in Buchanan's slanderous course in der
rogation of Mr.. Clay, in which he ap-
peared as the tempter of Mr.. Clay, and
made himself the thing he asserted Clay
to be, which the length of this article
will not permit us now to touch upon
This we may do at a future time
Enough has been said to illustrate the
innate heartlessness, unscrupulousness
and defaming spirit of James Buchanan
and bring the tinge of shame to the
cheek of the venerators of Harry Clayr
who now are willing to lend themselves
to his advancement. Let the base
calumniator descend to merited infamy
Let him not reach the position his cruel,
intriguing arts denied to a man the
latchets of whose shoes he was unworthy
to unloose

AMERICAN Mass MEETING. = Gov
Foote and A. B. DibbIe addressed the
people of Nevada on Tuesday evening &.
As usual, there was goodly attend
ance. Gov. Foote delivered a courte-
Gus, patriotic and earnest speech of up
wards of two hours in length, which was
listened to with profound attention
throughout. He addressed himself to
the understanding and sober judgment
of the assemblage, with marked effect.
The Gov. does not travel in the track
too frequently pursued by politicians, Of
abusing opposing candidates, but speaks
of them with much courtesy and as much
charity as their political course will
admit of. In this respect he has no
equal on the stump.
He was followed by A. B. Dibble,
Esq, in a speech replete with telling
points. Mr. Dibble is SO well known in
this community that no words are neces-
sary to enhance his estimation by the
people. The vote in November will tell
how Nevada county appreciates her son,
and the honor conferred upon her by
nominating him for Congress. He is
about setting out on tour through the
northern counties of the State, and if
they have any favorite locofoco stump
ers up north whose mettle is up, they
will find foeman worthy of their steel
in the person and intellect of A. B.
Dibblc. Where's Joe. McKibben p

Douglas to engraft upon the party plat.

Popular sovereignty" is said t. be
.he cornerstone of democracy. We en-
phatically deny it, in the sense Cass uses
it. The cornerstone of Jeffersonian,
Jackson radical state rights strict con-
struction demoerac, and the great mas
ter-key toall its rules of acton is that
vital principle which was born in Phil
adelphia with the Declaration of Inde-
pcndencc-that principle consists ina de-
NAL of absolute power in government. be
it republican or monarchical. Jefferson,
and every true democrat. is above forms
of government. The vital spark of dem
ocratir thought and democratic feeling
is the assertions of the supremacy OF
right over might. and of the further as
sertion that tie rights of man are not
granted by government, but that they
exist.
What an aesurdity is it in Cass to per
sist in the doctrine that the people of
Kansas are to settle the slavery question
"a question which many friends of the
country must. regard as settled eighty
years ago. What heresy to propose and
and to argue that either the rights of
property or man ) inalcnable rights are
to be periodically settled through ballot
boxes, as my be the whim of popular
feeling. The South-we meal the hon

when they assert that the question is set
tied. W. say so. too But not for sla-
very. as they clam-we claim it is settle

take a vote in Kansas on the question
involves the fact that it makes it an open
question. and therin lies the treason t.
freedom
Limits to power" is the democratic
motto-not who shall rule. is the demo-
cratic inquiry The democrat asserts ev-
cry man is free by inalienable right. and.
if not so free. he is a slave by superior
might, but never by right To adm t
that popular sovereignty can establish
slavery as right, involves the admis-
sion, that every man in New York is
free only by the grace of popular sove-
reisaty. and that our Know- Nothings
might, if in a majority, rightfullv make
slaves of our Irish and Germans. Out

II two persons wishing to have some pri-
vatc conversation 90 into room by them
selves. 90 in, seat yourself between them and
try to catch every word. If they rise and
leave the room, follow them; their conversa-
ton may be profitable to YOU and of course
the old saying three spoils company is not
at all applicable to your case. If you see a
person writing, never fail to stand behind and
look over his shoulder, or if a letter should
happen to be lying on the table, take it up
and read it, He must feel highly flattered
to see you manifest such friendly interest
in his affairs besides it will illustrate YOUR
iaudable determinations to know all that is
going on. Always whisper in company. 1t
will show your good manners and of course
no one will think you are whispering about
them, If you are sitting in a room with two
or three others and any one else enters begin
to laugh immoderately as though you had
just spied out something excessively funny
If he turns and asks you what you are
laughing at don't tell him; it's none of his
business if yon are laughing at him. In con-
vcrsation always talk upon some subject
which you know will be disagreeable to one
or more of the company. If you can say
anything to hurt any ones feeling, say it by
all means; it is nothing to you whether
they like it or not they wont say anything.
If a young lady takes a walk with gentle
man, or has a social chat with him. talk to
her on every occasion about being in love !,
ask her when she is going to be married and
so!orth. Love is not delicate subject and
yon will show both your wit and delicacy by
testing upon it. IF you areata public meet
