OF the DE Vernon, for IA very pleasant ride
down to Quincy on Thursday last. Ii was

by their polite attentions, with the ample ac-

board quite number of our fellow citizens,
among whom were Capt. Larkin, the efficient
and popular host of the BILLINGS HousK. and
Mr. Charles Parsons, who was just leaving
home for the tour of Europe.
AT Quincy We dropped into the QulscY
HousE aboct the "witching hour" of din.
ner time, aud were pleased to find everything
t. our taste--and We happened to have Jus,
then good zest for tasting. The Quincy
House is one Of the very few hotels that VIZ

We had the good fortune to finish our bus.

The Sources OF Crime,

The st. Louis Catholic Locofoco Leader.
the Buchanan organ, has long and labored
editorial designed to prove that the crimes
involved in the Burdell case, and in the Dali
ton and kalloch eases, are but a fair index
OF the general character, and are the natural
results OF free society. Bat free society not
only demoralizes mankind, but, according TO
this Democratic organ, "Free society makes
erery member Of IL part Of q machine, and
destroys individuat self control and self-re-
spect. Strange as it may seem, what is call
ed free society tends slowly but inevitably to
political despotism, j. e., the absorption Of
the individual in the State"
Thus it seems from this Democrats au +.
thority, that freedom not only degrades aud
demoralizes mankind, but destroys individ.
ual self-respect and tends inevitably to des-
potism.
What "A mistake our Pilgrim ancestors and
our Revolutionary forefathers committed in
establishing free communities and proclaim
ing the blessings Of liberty. Had they but
waited till our day, they might have gathered
