may be well enough to remind these gen.
tlemen of the facts as they appear on re-
cord. -. -..
d 1t might be we'll for them to remember
that the Locofoco Legislature of 1859,
commenced its regular session on the fifth
day Of January of that year, and closed
on the Sd day of May following, making
a session Of four months, lacking two
days! That this same Locofoco Legisla-
ture commenced its extra session Of that
year, on the 18th day of November, and
closed on the 14th day of March following.
being q session of four months, lacking
one day. That the next and last Loco
cofoeo Legislature, being that Of 1854,
commenced its session January Cd, and
closed May lst, making another session
Of four months lacking one day-while
this outlandish Republican Legislature
commenced its first session January 7,
1856, andcontinued to April lth, peri
cd Of only three months and four days,
and commenced its extra session January
5th 1857, and continued TO April 18th, a
period of only three months and thirteen
days, or less than three months and half
thus showing the two sessions Of this
Republican Legislature to be the shortest
of any held in the State, by any Legisls
ture since the year l849, or for the last
nine or ten years. The session Of 1850
81 continued from Dec, Cd to March 26th,
just four months lacking seven days.
That Of lS48, from Dec. 4th, to March
Goth, nearly four months. -aHh
The above stubborn facts we copy from
the Xenia Torchlight. They are per-
feet and complete answer to the senseless
clamor Of the Locofoco press of the State,
about the waste Of time. and the length oil
the session. We have read every day for
fortnight. in the Statesman, railing ac-
cusations against the Republican Legisla'
ture, and have been treated to daily
promise in the same paper, of scathing
review of its enormities; but as yet, no bill
of particulars has been fled. AS we said
when the session closed I'VE would not

undone by the Legislature yet we are

sfar back in The ny The world as
the days Of the Roman empire, this idea
Vas almost universally entertained. No

Was endowed by his Creator with the
s9Il$ natural rights as the Patrician.-,
This fundamental error appeared 10
darken the minds Of men OF all Glasses,
long after the downfall of the Roman
empire. The leudal system, embodying
the same principle, became spread over
all the kingdoms of Europe. The bond

tiIlers Of the soil were transferred by the
leudal lords, with the land they cultiva.
waited, like SO many cattle. .
This system of oppression effectually
destroyed the liberties Of the entire la
boring class throughout Europe, during
that period known in history as the Dark
Ages. Historians inform US that our
sturdy Anglo Saxon ancestors were new
er so fully subjugated by this system as
most ofthe other nations Of Europe. The
position taken by them at the time of the
/
granting Of Magma Charia, may be con-
sidered the first bold stand that had been
taken in favor Of the inalienable rights OF
man, for The past thousand years, The
writ of Habeas Corpus, and the right Of
trial by jury, two oI The grants conferred
by the charter, have come down 10 our
times in their full vigor, and are still re.
Egarded as the main pillars Of civil liberty.
That restless yearDing for liberty
which characterized the Anglo Saxon
race in the days Of king John, was trans.
mitled TO their descendants, and brought
with the colonists TO the Western Cont,
nent. 1t was this inherent love of liber
ty, rejuvenated on the virgin soil Of thf
new world, that caused the destruction
ofthe tea in Boston harbor. Ii was thi,
love of liberty that nerved those iron men

The WAY TO GET ON In THE WoRLp.-To
get on in this world, you must be content to
be always stopping where you are; to ad-
vance you must keep down; following rich
es is like following wild geese, and you
must crawl after both on your belly; the min
ute you pop your head up, off they go whist
ling before the wind, and you see no more
Of them. Ifyouh haven't the art of sticking by
nature, you must acquire it by art; put n
couple of pounds Of brimline upon your
office stool, and sit down on it; get chain
round your leg, and tie yourself to your
counter like a pair Of shop scissors; nail your.
self up against the wall Of your place Of busi-
ness like weasel on a barn door, or the
sign Of the spread eagle; or, what will do
best of all, marry poor honest girl with.
out penny, and my life for yours If you
don't do business. Never mind what your
relatives say about genius, talent, learning,
pushing, enterprise, and such stuff; when
they come advising you for your good, stick
up to them for the loan Of an eagle, and you
will never see them on your side of the
street again. To do any good we tell you
over and over again you must be sticker

That DUEL OPPOSITE VIcKsBuRa.-T
Vicksburg Sentinel, OF the Sd inst, gives the
following account Of the duel fought oppo.
site that place-already announced by tele-
graph:
Our city for the past two or three days
has been in state Of excitement in anticipa-
ton of .an affair of honor between R. H.
Purdom, ESQ.,, editor of the Port Gibson
Herald, and Col. w. D. Roy, editor of the
Southern Sun. In accordance with previous
arrangements, the parties repaired to the op-
posite side Of the river yesterday, and at
about 8 o'clock the duel came of. The Mis-
sissippi rifles were used, distance forty PAGES.
At the first Ere Mr.. Purdom received severe
wound, the ball Of his adversary striking his
left arm just below the elbow, ranging up
to the shoulder, shattering his arm 10 most
terrible manner. 1t is feared that amputa-
ton will be necessary.

The SABBATH DAY IN CHIoAoo.-The
following from the Chicago Daily Times
shows how the Sabbath is observed and un-
observed in that city:
"Here in Chicago, on Sunday we have
ffty-six churches open during the forenoon
and evening, but at the same time there are
no less than eighty bathrooms, in each of
which the band plays from morning till mid
night, and waltzing goes on without intermis-
sion. In addition to these festivities we have
two theatres, each with its performers in
tights and very short garments, rivaling Els.
Ter in their graceful evolutions. Saloons
have their front doors closed by proclama-
tion, but do a thriving business through side
entrances"

MEETING OF CoTTON PLASrERs.-The
Holly Springs (hlississppi) Herald gives no.
tice of meeting of the cotton planters Of
Marshall county to stake such steps as may
seem best in regard to the monetary derange-
ments throughout the country, and the con.
sequent reduction Of the price Of cotton, re-
sulting alone from such financial derangs-
ment." The Herald remarks that "there is
no cause for such a state Of things; and II
the planters will store their cotton-bags un.
der their own cotton-sheds, and withhold II
from market for few weeks, the gold and
silver will be shipped by tens of millions Of
dollars from every important port in Europe"

HEALTH IN YouTH.-late hours, irregu.
lar habits, and want of attention to diet are
common errors with most young men, and
those gradually, and at first imperceptibly
undermine thdhealth, and lay the foundation
for various forms of disease in after life.-
It is very difficult thing to make young
people believe this. Indeed nearly all the
shattered constitutions with which too many
are cursed are the result of disregard te
the plainost precepts Of health in early
life.

MoDEsTY AND Wrr.-A few days since, a

police court, charged with having stolen a
watch. It was his first error, and he was
ready to plead guilty. The judge addressed
him 10 very gentle tones, and asked him what
had induced him 10 commit the theft. The
young man replied that, having been very un-
well for some lime, the doctor advised him
to take something, which he had accordingly
done. The judge was rather pleased with
the humor Of the thing, and asked him what
had led him TO select watch. "Why," said
the prisoner, III thought if only had the

people of the lower part of Sussexocontinue
to pick up silver coins along the coast. A
friend informs us that, according to the best
information he can collect, there have been
from eight to nine thousand dollars collected
altogether. The coin dates as far down as
