The famous home organ Of the late
President Pierce, the NesU Hdnap-
shire Patriot, is shrieking for freedom
most vociferously in view Of the re-
cent action of the Kansas Convention.
That Kansas constitution must contain
: . dreadful dose Of niggers to cause
nausea to such a stomach as the Pat
riots.

The BRIDE.-I know Of no sight
more charming and touching than that
Of young and tender bride in her
robes Of virgin white, led up trembling
to the altar. Wien I thus behold a
lovely girl in the tenderness of her
years forsake the house Of her father
and the home Of her childhood, and
with the implicit confidence and self
abandonment which belongs to woman,
giving up all the world for the man Of
her choice; when I hear her, in the
good old language Of the ritual, yield
ing herself to him 'for better or worse,
for richer, for poorer, in sickness and
I in health, to love, honor, and obey,
till death us do part it brings to mind
the beautiful and affecting devotion Of
Ruth-sWhither thou goest I will go,
and where thou lodgest will lodge
thy people shall be my people, and thy
Gea my God. - Washington irving

the subscription price also reduced to one

THE New York Day Boob, one OF the
Northern organs of President Buchanan,
has taken ground as boldly as the Wsshing-
ton Unio,, for the maintenance Of the opin-
ion so elaborately set forth by the Supreme
Court in the bred Scott decision. The idea
Of making Slavery the corner stone of Free
dom may seem somewhat paradoxical, but
it is now the Democratic doctrine. The
Day Book says:
sNegro snbordination, or so-called sla'
very, is the basis, the foundation, the ''cor-
ner- stone of our republican edifice," and
the time hascome when this must be openl,
avowed and boldly proclaimed as the dis
tinctive badge of Democracy'

PLAIN TRUTH.-Some one who seems
to understand the subject describes the
education Of young gentlemen and
ladies, of the would be fashionable sort.
which tends only to mental weakness
and physical decay, as follows
" A young gentleman "a smooth
faced STRIPPING with little breeding
and less sense, ripens fast, and believes
himself nice young man. He chews
and smokes tobacco, swears genteelly,
coaxes embryo imperials with bears
grease twirls rattan, spends his faith

back and in sulkeys-double and single
drinks Catawba, curses the Main law
and firts with young ladies' hundreds
of which are just Ike himself, though
of a different gender and this is the
fashionable education of our day. The
fathers and mothers of these fools were
once poor. Good fortune has given
them abunadnce. Their children will

and into the poor house. Parents you

sons and daughters to work, and lei
