Good Advice.

The following good advice was
given by Hon. Thos. Corwin, to q
young man who applied to him for
a clerkshp, during his seat in the
Cabinet:
Thrice was he refused, and still he
made the fourth effort His perse-
verance and spirit of determination
awakened u friendly interest in his
welfare, and che Secretary advised
him, in the strongest possible terms,
to abandon his purpose and go to
the West, if he could do no better
outside the Departments. "My young
friend" said he, "go to the North
west; buy 160 acres of Government
land-ol if you have no money to
purchase, squat on it; get you an axe
and a mattock; put up a log cabin
for habitation and raise little corn
and potatoes; keep your conscience
clear, and live like free man; your
own master, no one to give you orders,
and without dependence on anybody.
DO that, and you will become hon
cred, respected, influential and rich.
But accept clerkShip here, and you
sink at once all independence; your
energies become relaxed, and you are
united in few years for any other
ami independent position. may
give you a place to-day, and | can
kick you out tomorrow; and there &
man over at the White House who
can kick me out, and the people BY
ably can kick him ont; and so we 60
But if you own an acre Of land, il
is your kingdom; and your cabin il
your castlc--yow are sovereign, and
you will feel it in every throbbing O
your pulse, and every day of youl
life would assure me of your thanks
for having thus advised you"

ing some rooty ground, at which he
swore very wickedly every few pa

up to the end Of his row, when he
accosted him: u H.

sticking point nearly ierked him out
of his boots, and finally tossing his

it about forty times, when the boy
becoming impatient, took hold Of the

The Faga case. Many were armed on

Through the whole night, they guard

ry examination commenced on Tues

excitement seemed to be subsiding.

knife upon Hallor, while he was be-
ing conducted from the Court House
to his lodgings; but fortunately for
himself was restrained, Haller's
political and personal friends were
still on guard, day and night, and
stated that they should acquiesce in

biassed men, after an impartial trial
but that any attempts at irregular and
violent proceedings, would be resisted

From the Lawrence Republican. ]
Beware.

Tho letter of a reliable correspon-
dent giving an account of Walker d.
Co.'S performances at the land sales
at Paoli will be read with intense in
tereSt.
Does the Governor consider it a
part of his official duties to 60 around
through the country as a political
stump speaker?
Does he think it to comport with
the dignity Of Governor to indulge
in coarse invectivc, and to stigmatize
nine-tenths of the people Of Kanzas
and their sympathizeis east as black
Republicans and "Royalists?"
What does he mean by thus excit-
ing and arousing the people? Is he
anxious to bring on another contest
and embroil the Territory again in
civil war? We cannot think so, and
yet we warn him, with all kindness
and respect, that the course he is pur-
suing in going about the country
with his satellites, and with such
politicians as Senator Bigler, denoun-
cling tho State organization, lauding
the selr-styled Democracy, and stig-
matizing all who may not think as he
does upon the great questions of
Freedom and Slavery as Black Re-
publicans and Tories, and above all
in allowing his friends to attempt to
gag dom Free-State men, we warn
him, wc say, that he is taking the
sunst and most direct course to raise
such q storm as was never before
known in Kanzas Or in our whole
country. This series Of politica!
harangues commence at Big Springs,
and bad blood was engendercd there.
And now, at Paoli, a general row
and the loss Of life was prevented
only by the moderation of the Free
State men, Twenty revolvers, we
are told, were drawn at the time the
rui6ans raised the cry, "down with
Foster" and a general conflict was
barely avoided. These things are
begctting bad feelings they are ex-
citing men already smarting under
repeated insults and continually re-
minded of the loss of all their rights,
and breath may kindle flame
which blood alone can quenchl We
do hope Gov. Walker and Secretary
Stanton will hereafter confne them
selves to the legitimate functions Of
their Offices, and not interfere with
the people, especially in such man
ner as ut Paoli. CH.l

Judge Taney's Decision.

The now famous and abominable
sentiment, that the African race has
no rights that the white man is bound
to respect, uttered by Judge Tarey,
in his opinion in the Dred Scott case,
may be found on page 400 of the
officially-published copy Of that opin-
ion, and occurs as follows -
"They, i, Q. tho African race, had
for more than century been regarded
as beings of an inferior order, and
altogether unfit to associate with the
white race, either in social or political
relations and so far inferior, that
they had no rights which tie white man
pas bound 10 respect, and that the
negro, might Justly and lawfully be
reduced to slavery for his benefit"
Judge Taney will be diShonorably
remembered for this declaration longer
Than hc will be hontrably remembered
ior any act Or sentiment Of his life.

With wonder sNuMs, and swows, and cries
"By golly"
The youth with jack knife sharp and stout,
Will try trade to whittle out,
And shaving, query, what you beout,

With brass enough his way to win,
However much he gets of "tin,"
He "swows he'll have as much agin,
By golly"
If luck attends him, and he makes
A happy hit, he sweeps the stakes
With arter all, faint no great shakes,
BY golly!"
But if he lose the luck he had,
May be he'll get "most proper mad"
And "guess as how, this ere's tew bad,
By golly"
Whate'er he tries, it is his rule,
If once he failed to reach his goal,
To rate himself "a tarnal fool,
By golly"
For the "main chance" he ever tries,
And thinks that "take things as they rise
'Twont do to be more nice than wise,

And so the Yankee "staves along"
Full chisel, hitting right or wrong,
And makes the burden of his song,
