GOVERNOR MEDARY. Tile Chief promoter and
defender of the pro.slavery democracy of Ohio
for many years past has been Sam. Medary of the
Ohio Stateman. He has lately received his re-.
ward in tho appointment to tho Governorship Ct
the Territory Of Minnesota.
Away from Columbus he has been known only
for his INSCRIPTIONS and unprinciplsd support Of
the D,mo;rl.ic party and Of all its pro slavery
measures. Probably no man, inObic has labored
more efectually than he to sustain and perpetuate
the pro slavery sentiment of the State. The Col.
umbus folks say that in addition to his cminence
us a border rufiun politician, he is also distin-
guished among his personal acquaintanccs as a
'joVill, warnI-hearted and generous fellow
In honor of these personal virtues, they had a
parting utilization before he left to carry out
Bu2hanan's principles in Minnesota, when re-
publican Legislators hobnubel with the Jolly
warm hearted" Democrats. and Governor Chase
honored his brother Governor with n eul1yistic
speech. Probably this is all light, as the Repub.
Leans seem well satisfied with it. At all events
Governor Chase has proved his claim to christian
character, for no politician, has ever lied abpu,
another with more pertinacity and meanness than
has Sam. Medary, for the last ten years, about
Governor Chase and his especial friends. We
hope the Miunesotianj may be the gamers by thi.
Republican heapin of Goals of fire on the head OF
their Buchanan Governor. Governor Medary has
been the defender of the administrations of Shan.
non and WoOdson in Kansas. Whether the hen.
ors hoaped upon him by Republicans as we'll as
Democrats. will encourage him TO model his own
administration after their pattern the future will
tell. The probabilities are that it will not materi.
Of these illustrious models, so far as eircumstan-
ces will permit. So that it strikes US that it would
have been better had it been left to the Democrats
alone to rejoice at. and honor the promotion y:
their 'jollg, warm hearted" champion.

Tor evil is his emancipation ; and this is the only
remedy. And to this issue all efforts should be di.
rected. The question is free labor not free aohitc
labor, for we have had, and still have the mos,
abundant evidence, that white laborers cannot be
free under a government which enslaves its black
and tawney laboters. We agree with the writer
that nothing can be done so effective" for the
elevation of all black and white, as''to increase the
number and dignity of free laborcrs." Yes again
we say, free ltbOrers'--not phie laborers. God
has united the race Of man in one cnmmon desti'
ny they hold a common right to liberty and al
efforts OF slave holders, democrats or republicans
to seperate them into masters and slaves, will
bring the penalty inevitably attached to crime
What God hath joined together men cannot with
impunity put osunder.
The charge that abulitionists treat free white
people as objects of secondary consequence is ri
diculOus and false. Trae they seek to abolish
slavery rs The first great object. 1t is also true
that as the slaves are mostly colored people, ii is
colored people they seek to cmancipate. They diff
Ter from the Post in not being willing TO lei
slavery continue, lecnuse the slaves ave colored.-
1t is melancholy to see the Post which has spoken
so many brave words for freedom ignoring the mil
liGns of slaves in this country, and counseliag"the
party for freedom also so to do ; and urging tina,
the true issue before the country is not one Of hu
man liberty but that 1t concerns merely tie rights
and prosperity of a class. 1t is the Post and no
the abolitionists, that narrows down the question
and makes a false issue at this important crisis.

Butchers, W.. Public.

The unusually and needlessly high price
dignation of all orr citizens. Twenty-Five
cents per h., for beef steak is incredible, but
that is the price now being asked by our
butchers. We have before been told that
combination exists among our butchers to
keep up the price of meat, but never believed
it. But this convinces us of the fact.
Such course will prove ruinous to them
in the end, and we wonder at the shortsight-
ed policy which rules them Present extor-
tion will ultimately result in final disaster to
their trade and business. 1t is not the high
price we so much object to, but the needlessly
high price. When good beef can be bought
on foot for 6 and I cents, what earthly ex-
cuse is there for charging over Is cents, let
alone such swindling price as 25 per pound
for a steak2 Such course ought to pro-
duce, in the persons who are thus imposed
on, direct resistance to such extortion.-

and not wishing to stop at the various pla-
ces where the beverage is retailed, conclu-
ded to have barrel taken to my room,n
"Indeed. And have you derived any
benefit from the use of it ."
"Ah, yes, sir. When the barrel was first
taken to my room, two days since, could
scarcely lift it. Now can carry it with the
greatest ease."

No MISTAKES RECTIFIED-An intelligent
Irishman, in the employ of firm in Mil
street, was sent few days since to bank
in State street for the purpose Of obtaining
a sum of money on a check. The money
was passed to the Irshman, who did not
count it until he was in the street. when he
discovered that he had $50 bill too much.
Actuated by desire that did honor to his
head and heart, he returned to the bank and
acoosted the teller 3" IT'S mistake you have
made in giving me the money, sure" he SAID.

the teller; eff your money is not correct,

Pat. with doleful look. "No sir stand ono
side" Then it's meself that is happy to say
that I've got twenty dollars too much, and
long life to sich tilers in gineral" Pat was
allowed to keep the amount by his employ
ers, and now when he goes to the bank his
money is counted twice for fear of mistakes.

CrinOlfne.

Among the causes which are cited to &C.
count for the dec, easing rates of increase OF
the French population, It is thought that the
spread of the crinollne con'agion is proving
most injurious in its effects upon the census.
The mode now preva ling is one of such ex-
trava gance that it is continually demanding 6
fresh sacrifices, md ladies' have to choose be-
tween fine dress and family. for no in-
come but Rothschild's c,n provide for both.
The result is, for the most part, as we learn
by the Examiner, that, <--t..-......-
"Where you would see with English hab-
its, half dozen healthy boys and girls walk
ing with their parents, you see instead in
the Bois &c Boulogne fine lady in hand
some open carriage" ..... ..r
To take broad view of the subject, we
must look at the wide petticoats, and many
widths Of silk which are consumed in cover
ing them: and we shall see at once . proof
that the declinin: census has greatly owed
it's decrease to the crinoline influence. OF
course, the wider grow the dresses, the long
er grow the bills which ladies have to pay
for them, and the narrower in consequence
becomes their means of living. So much
swelling when they arc out, necessitatcs their
pinching somewhat closely when at home |;
and whatever can be done without is given
up at once as not to he afforded. Children
are not in the fashion, and may therefore be
d spensed with SO that as the petticoat ex-
pands the population dwiudles, ard love OF
a new dress supplants th Il Of family Of
children. ...- q (
If the census fails to bring the nation to
its senses, it IS obvious that the Government
will have to interfere, and devise means to
check this forced march of extravagarce, that
which is proving dead march to the nom
rising generation. We should suggest were
we consulted, that censor of crinoline be
forthwith appointed, and hat. the shops Of
all millners should be under bis inspection,
so that no dress be permitted Of extrayagant
circumference, or of such material as might
lmpoverish family.-Punch. -

FISH STUNNED BY STRIKING ON THE Ice.
In autumn, when the frost begins to set

and when he observes fish under the ice
in shallow water, he stri es violent blow

of folks, truly. Why here's this part of the
Pembina district lying east of the Red riv-
er in which there is neither Post Office, pre-
cinct or scarcely permanent resident, that
claims to be represented in the Convention
by six delegates, and these aforesaid Black
Republicans will try to keep them out be-
cause they would neutralize the vote of Fill

Another Arctic Expedition.

1t is now certain that a new expedition is
to sail from England to search for Sir John
Franklin and his companions. or their re-
mains. 1t is in vain that the British Gov
ernment have officially given up the search,
and consider the party as lost from the roll
OF the navy in vain that twelve expeditions
have gone at an immense expenditure of
money, and returned after year of suffer-
ing and loss of valuable ves-the yearn-
ing love of Lady Franklin tires not, and she
devoted the remains of her fortune to ano-
ther search. Call her long persistence in the
one object of her life, for years, against the
advice of friends, the opinions of practical
and scientific men, and the dictates of ordi
nary rea- -oning-call it monomania if we
will, there is no heart that will not respond
to tie following sentiments, uttered by the
N. Y. Mirror, on the subject:
No true man will look harshly upon Lady
Franklin's new expedition. Her ship will
g. forth ftelghted with the good wishes of
the civilized world. 1t will be ACCOMPANIED
by the heartfelt prayers of many a Chris
tian matron, who loves and reverences her
husband next to her God, and compared with
whose pious devotion life itself weighs but
as feather. No one can look without emo
tlon upon woman, laying down all, that
like the holy woman of Judea, that she NAV
follow him whom she loves. There is a
tender chivalry in the act which links the
name of Lady Franklin with that of Flor
ence Nightingale. In the white glimmer of
the sails of this last rover in the Arctic Sea,
We see reflection of that womanly devotion
and faith, which is stronger than logic, or
the solid columns of armed men. Nor can
we measure such enterprise by the princi-
pies OF utilltarianism; there is surplus of
educated energy WHICH can find no better
vent than such an expedition and whether
it be fertile or barren of scientific discovery.
it is dictated by nobler ambition than that
which fills the Courts with diplomatists, or
strews the Crimea with whitened bones.-
Every such mission makes the world wiser
and better.

he was obliged to stretch his aching limbs
on the open prairie for the live long night

to cover him-no food for himself or faithful
beast-his carpet-bag for his pillow, and the
ague defying him to proceed farther at his
peril. On he went, and at the con ;lusion of
the Conference, heard his appointment read

field of labor where he has spent two years

neighbor takes on terribly about it. "He
has not only dsgraced bis calling but dishon-

has such high reverenc, for religion, and
