THE RIGHT WAY TO READ.-When the late
jeremiah Evarts was in the sixth year of his
age, he came to his father, and asked him for
a new book His father asked him if the
last book he had given him was worn out
/" o no sir" said jeremiah, "bYt | have read
all the sense out of it." He meant to say
that he had read it thoroughly, and had made
himself master cf all the ideas it contained.
This is the right way to read, in order to pro-
fit by reading. BY reading in that way, Jere-
miah Evarts made great improvement, and
became one of the wisest and most useful men
our country has produced. He never tok
book and allowed his eye to rest on the page
while his thoughts were wandering from one
thing to another SO as only now and then to
get an idea of what was written. He never
took up a book for the sake of passing away
time. He took the advice of those who were
wiserthan he, and read only good books and he
read +" all the sense out of them"

JEFFERSON AND THE MISSOURI CoMPRo-
MIsE.-The black republican press, in their
endeavors to break down the moral force of
the Dred Scott decision, have attempted
to make it appear that that distinguished
statesman and democrat, Thomas Jefferson,
was in favor of the Missouri Compromise
declared, in that decision, to be unconstitution-
al. So far from this being the case, Mr.. JET
ferson was strenuous opponent of that COM
promise, and has left on record many express
sions of hostility to it. Among other things,
he said:
"Nothing has ever presented so threaten
ing an aspect as what is called the Missouri
question. The federalists, completely put
down, and desparing of ever rising again un-
der the old division of whig and tory, devils
ed new one, of slaveholding and non-slave-
holding States, which, while it had SEM
blance of being moral, was at the same time
geographical, and calculated to give them as
tendency by debauching their old opponents
to coalition with them. Morally the ques-
tion certainly is not, because the removal of
slaves from one State to another, no more
than their removal from one country to an
other, would never make slave of one hui
man being who would not be so without it.
Indeed, if there be any morality in the ques-
tion, tits on the other side, because, by spread
ing them over large surface, their happi-
ness would be increased, and the burden of
their future liberation lightened, by bringing
a greater number of shoulders under it."
Whenever negro worshiping journal
makes an assertion on any political point, the
presumption is strong that the assertion is
falsehood. Mendacity is an invariable ac-
compartment Of black republicanism. The
faction had its origin in fraud and cotinuous
lying is essential to the preservation of its
vitality.

A New IDEA.-The editor of the Allegan
Journal is to have donation party. Strange
things are happening nowadays, and the
vagaries that possess the human mind in this
fast age are past accounting for; but dona-
tion visit to an Edtoris new thing, certainly.
Below is a notice of the party by the editor
of the Journal:
EDITORIAL DoNATIoN.-Why not have
an Editorial Donation? Many of our freinds
have made such a suggestion in view of the
losses and bad debts we have incurred in pub
fishing THE Journalthe past year. We thank
our friends for the suggestion. Our creditors
no doubt will be rejoiced at this movement,
as it will be guarantee to them OF the pay
ment of some of our notes now coming due for
type, printing paper, &C., obligations for which
we see no immediate prospect OF meeting, un-
less something is done by our friends, who have
already assisted us very materially in the es-
tablishment of Tile Journal. We cannot OBJ
tain a ream of paper on credit-nothing short
of the cash-the very best securities are re-
fused at the paper mills. While many of our
advertisers and subcribers have done the hand
some thing, more have never paid cent
All our freinds are familiar with the desperate
state of our finances, and are determined odo
all in their power to maintain good county
paper in Allegan county. Our friend Marsh,
of the Allegan Exchange, has assented to the
use of his parlors on the occasion, and looks
foran attendance from all parts of the county"

TEARING Down AND. BUILDING UP-Al-
ready we see that preparations are being
made by the removal of the old buildings and
occupants thereof for Mr. LovETT's new Block,
on the corner of Canal and Pearl Streets, and
Mr.. LovErT's known ability, with the energy
with which he makes commencement, as
sures us that not more than half of the COM
ing summer will pass away ere one of the
finest and most orr mental Blocks in the West
will be reared and tenanted. The prominent
location of his stores (there will be three of
them) is such as to add as much, if not more
to the general appearance of the city than
any that has yet been built.
Messrs. LYON and HAKE & VoGT will not
be far behind Mr.. LovETT in the erection of
their Blocks and from present indications,
the coming season will be busy one with
the master builders of Grand Rapids.

ANOTHER WARNING.-We understand that
Mr.. Benham was seriously injured at Messrs.
WnIrE's mill, Mill Point, on Wednesday last,
by being caught in one of the belts. Too
much care cannot be exercised by those who
are laborers in any department about ma
chinery of any kind. Cases of accident are
frequent, and should teach every one to be
cautious and guarded where dangers stand
thick"

finally, and we believe him. And then again
he shows tact in his construction of the query
in the circular /" Have the Grand Havenites ?'
Any ordinary grammarian might have sim
ply construed it have they lived up to their
pledges on file, heretofore p and in regard to
that matter we quote from the HoNander,
of March 18th, and presume it is the words
of an old Supervisor, for he speaks like one
having authority: awe regret to say that
those of the citizens of Grand Haven, who
neglected to perform their own voluntary
proposition, to furnish suitable offices for the
accommodation of the county, and rent them
at reasonable rates after it had been accepted
by the Board of Supervisors, have very un-
wisely laid Grand Haven liable to the impu-
tation of having dishonorably broken an en-
gagement to the county. This will have a
tendency to weaken their cause very much
with many who recollect the circumstances
to which we allude. Nos verrons." Our
incog friend finally winds up ave no more
than done our duty in accepting the chal-
lenge," and all the suffering he has produced
must quietly be borne by the old Pioneer.
P.S. We did omit to notice the capital
hit of Incog for the Berlinites, and.we are
sure they, to man, duly appreciate the
idea, whereby they can save time and money,
too (for mine host), by riding to Mil Point in
the cars, then stride the ferry and that blue
nose race to the commercial emporium and
return same way next day, instead Of going
over a pleasant road, some eight miles to
Eastmanville, in their own conveyance. The
saving in this case is come at by syllogistic
calculation. Wonder he did not give us an
other glimpse of that " Gem of a plat of
Eastmanville, without any road to the river
(D no crossing place (?) no open front of
some twenty rods to the river y a complete
monopoly (9 but all worthless before the
sticking of the county stake there, because
the propretors were willing to giue array ev-
cry other lot to actual settlers and altho they
now continue the same plan, yet there is,
any way, niger in the fence. And as for
those arguments" in that article in the
Times of the 18th inst, demonstrating that
there must be an increase of taxes by remov-
ing the county site from from the Haven
some mystery about that, for then the East
manvilleites pay all rents of buildings-not
the county, as now; and then computing the
saving of travel fees for jurors, witnesses, par
ties, and service of precepts, &c., and there
foots up clear saving of some $500 to
$500 annually and when the county in its
own good time shall build permanent build
ings it will cost decidedly less to build at
Eastmanville than it will at Grand Haven.

Pioneer says as little as possible about his
speaking about nothing except county seats,
and that three or four times in the Constitu-
tional Convention, seven years ago; but he
says or means he was inactive until the sess-
ion of the Supervisors in October last, when
his favorite hobby came within one vote of
being taken away whilst he was "napping."
Ottawa Center was fearful rival indeed, and
it was high time to awake from his former
inactivity-he can not deny his former mac
tivity, as we narrated in the 10000 Circu
lars" bnt endeavors to make us believe he
had been perfectly quiet until the October
session. His movements in the Convention
are upon record, and stand rs unimpeachable
testimony to the contrary, and we refer our
readers to the Times, of March 18th, or the
Convention Debates of 1850, to prove our
assertion.
In reference to their great HJerality, in
donating as much as anybody else, Pioneer
says, "Not wishing to insinuate that Incog
wilfully designed to make a .talse assertion,
this offer came from Galen Eastman, who re-
marked that he did not hold this offer out as
bribe," DC. You are correct, Doctor, we
did not design to make a false assertion, nei-
ther do we think we did. We copied our
propositions from the record, and that is the
only authority for us, or the people of Otta-
wa. That says Timothy Eastman filed his
proposition" &c; Galen Eastman is not men
toned in the record; he is not known; and
he may have spoken two hours, and made a
thousand offers, yet so long as they are not
upon record, the people of Ottawa have no
proof to substantiate them. The assertion
of Mr. Clincher, that the Supervisor from
Georgetown, Mr.. Lowing, received $500 and
an eighty acre lot, to vote for Eastmanville'
is as much bound to be believed as any as
sertions Galen Eastman might make to the
honorable Board, in the absence of proof.
There is no recorded proof in either case, and
