What has President Buchanan done for
the South!
This question is triumphantly answer
ed by Hon. A. H. Stevens, of Georgia,
in a late electioneering discussion, as fol-
lows -
"Wbat has Mr.. Buchanan done to rec
ommend him 10 the confidence OF South
ern men ? He has appointed four South
ern men as members of his cabinet, and
from the North he had selected three
others who had been distinguished for
their firm, unyielding and unselfsh de-
votion to the constitutional rights of the
South. Two of them, Gen. Cass and
Mr.. Toucey, had sacrificed themselves at
home and been defeated by Black Repub
licans, because they stood by the South,
in her hour of need, and Mr.. Buchanan
has shown his appreciation of their broad
nationality, and his inclination to protect
the Northern defenders Of 4Southern rights
By calling item to high office, and selecting
them as his Cabinet ad visers. What has
he done ? He has, in his Inaugural ad-
dress done more than any man who had
preceded him in the Presidential Office
ever had done, in giving in his adhesion
in advance of its delivery, to the princi-
Piles of the Dred Scott decision of the Su-
preme Court, and proclaiming as rule
for the conduct of his administration, the
true doctrine of Southern equality in the
Territories of the Union. What has he
done He has given us the phole organ.
ization Of the Territory Of Kansas had
recognized the laws of that territory,
against which the Black Republicans had
revolted and had Southern men IN epery
office Of honor or influence in the Terrific
ry; and he has placed no man in Office
in Kansas or anywhere else, who was not
pledged to sustain the Kansas Nebraska
act, and all the other Legislation of Con-
gress which secured to the South her
rights under the Constitution. What has
he not done which Southern man with
any propriety could ask that Presiden
of the United States should do ?"

body in the world But who ever heard
of farmer encouraging his wife to in
dulge in any such ambition BE some
body, indeedl Isn't it her business to
wash the potatoes scrub, bake, mend her
hus bands shirts, make butter and cheese
for him to sell, forget her former self,
put out the light Of her own intellect, and
live only by the glare Of his kitchen fire /?
Of course it is and you will see that
Elsie, with all her education, beauty and
Intelligence, will come down to that level
before ten years are past" sh
1 hope not, Mary. You are sadly
preJudlced against farmers, but thA-a-.'v
tt4asn; and it Will always be SO, while
women can be so easily led to undervalue
their own worth. If they rate them
selves of less account than the pecuniary
of their husbands, who will pre-
vent them from making the sacrifice /? In
the first place, women want more practi
cal knowledge of housekeeping than they
generally have, to enable them to manage
a household properly, and take advan-
tage of the work that must necessarily
fall to them to do. And, in the second
place, there should always be mutual
understanding between husbrnd and wife
that she has just as good right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
as he. A little independence on the part
of the wife, as well as the husband, and
the exercise of moderate share of good
sense on both sides, will generally secure
these blessings to the whole family. Far
mer's wives should not be drudges more
than any other mems wives; but too
many of them are, to a great degree, the
counterparts of Mary's sister Helen.
Some bright and noble exceptions we
could name, which give conclusive proof
that intellect and even high literary hon
ors may grow and flourish among the pro
ductions of the farm, and that when wo-
man has it in her power to "be some
body" she can, if she will, make it evil
dent, in whatever situation she may be.

THE TRUTH DOTH NEVER DIE.

Though kingdoms, states and empires fall
And dynasties decay
Though cities crumble into dust
And nations die away:
Though gorgeous towers and palaces
In heaps of ruin lie,
Which once were proudest Of the proud
The truth doth never die.
Wen mourn not DER the silent past
Its glories are not fed,
Although its men of high renown
Be numbered with the dead.
Wen grieve not Ger what earth has lost

For the wrong alone hath perished-
The Truth doth never die
All Of the past is living still
All that is good and true;
The rest hath perished, and it did
Deserve to perish, toe.

And time rolls over by:
And the wrong is ever rooted up,
But the Truth doth never die

sequence of the non arrival Of funds due
at a distance. they were obliged TO ex-
pend the funds in hand in the redemption
of matured paper, and consequently had
to forego the pleasure of paying their
hands their accustomed week. y allowance.
What did the men do then did they

mechanics, they met, consulted together,
and passed resolutions expressing SYM

six or eight thousand dollars, the pro-
ceeds of their own savings. There is a
great deal of nobility here. This incl

Iowa LAw.-Judge Clagget has de-
cided that the mortgayer in real estate
has the right to redeem piece of pro-
perty that has been sold under mort
gage at any time within twenty -one years
after said sale, unless the court has, bv
decree, cut out the equity of redemption.
The operation of this construction Of
the law is this: A person holding a
mortgage can sell under our statue, bat
the debtor can, within the specified time,
by paying the amount of purchase mon
ey, with interest and costs. redeem the
property 50 sold, unless the purchaser has
obtained decree destroying the right
of redemption.
This is avery important decision, as it
gives to persons having property sold, an
opportunity to redeem any property sold,
and on the other hand gives the mortga-
gee his money. Under this law the pur-
chaser is simply the trustee of the mort
gager to the time of bar of the right
of redemption.-Reokuk Post
