BY So great is the potency of truth,
that the most corrupt are sometimes sup
prised into speaking, and endorsing it,
even when it condemns the practice to
which they are blindly committed. Thus
the Legislature of Mississippi has re-elect-
cd to the Senate, Hon. A. G. Brown, who
denounced alien suffrage in the Senate,
and all over the State; and in so doing,
Mississippi has committed itself to this
important item in the creed Of the Ameri-
can party.
The Washington STATES, a l~ocofoco pa
per, also gives its testimony against the
fitness of foreigners to take part in the adj
ministration of this governments in these
words
The city of Washington was on Saturday night
the scene of riot, bloodshed and pillage. Hun.
dreds of armed ruffians held possession of the
streets, and firearms were heard in various quar-
ters. 1t is difficult TO learn the particular deeds
of the mig ut, or the persons by whom they were
enacted; for the %rufinns operate 10 clans. and
those clans are pro tected and foStered In their or
ganized capacity by the c operation itself.
The New York Commercial, also demo-
cratic, in the following paragraph, about
the "bread or blood" demonstration, en-
dorses the same view:
1t is a fact already sufficiently proved, that not
one out of ten of those which have called loude st
for work would accept II when offered, atless than
the usual compensation Of flush times; while
many able bodied American mechanics have ei :
aerly embraced such opportunities TO relieve their
pressing necessities, The novel spectacle has been
witnessed OF American tradesmen working at 81
cents a day upon the same jobs previously re-
fused by Irish do lar a day laborers. Surely,
among The latter class, desIitutioa cannot be very
severe.
The Washington Star, also democratic,
even more forcibly enforces the American
doctrine, in the following contrast between
natives and foreigners:
The unemployed are holding open mir meetings.
demanding what thoy call their rights. Thank
God! no native born Americans are yet Of the
same opinion as to their rights, because to be Of
that opinion argues ono to hold to the doctrines Of
Danton. Rohespierre, and the quite rs dangerous
socialists Of later times, They talk in their
fierce appeals OF "governipg classes" in Liis coga-
try. which proves that they are persons wholly
incapable of approaching the theory and practice
of cur government--that they are among us, but
not Of US.
We ask sensible democrats to say why
it is that Americans are denounced for
advocating a doctrine which leading DEM
ocrats thus openly endorse2 Party is the
accursed cause, and terrible will be the
effect,

PUBLIC LECTURES.

! r. 4
We announced, last week, that Mr..
shillabcr, author of Mrs. ~PartingtOn's
sayings, viii deliver a lecture here early
next month,-about. the 9Th, and at the
request Of the Literary Association. This
society deserves the thanks Of the com
munity for its efforts,t to inaugarate a taste
for literature, as a pleasing and profitable
entertainment for the old and the young,
Of both sexes-an entertainment that tends
to store the mind with useful knowledge
and wean the affections from habits and
indulgences that too often lead to vice and
crime. Could such associations be or
ganized in every town, whose population
is sufficient to sustain one, there is no es-
timating the amount of good that would
result from them, to the minds and hearts
of the people. And for strengthening the
bonds of the Union, they would be found
IA powerful agency. The best literary
abilities could be brought into active
requesition; the ~literati of the North,
would traverse the South, and by actual
contact with our social institutions, learn
their true character, and return home to
correct the false impressions created by
mad fanatics and designing demagogues.
The South would send to the North, the
best specimens of her literary men, whose
observant minds and honest hearts would
bring back reports and impressions well
calculated to soften-if not eradicate
sectional prejudiees; and both together,
by such Intercourse, can do more towards
giving a proper tone to popular sentiment,
North and South, than any other agency
with which we are acquainted.
However humilating may be the con-
%fession, it is nevertheless true, that poli-
%ticians are too basely corrupt to subserve
any good purpose; and as the sole authors
of all the sectional discord that mars the
harmony of the Union, it would be folly
to look to them for aid in remedying evils
which their debasing sel6shness prompts
them to cherish and perpetuate. The
press, the stump and the pulpit are com
bined for the unhallowed purpose of
fomenting discord, and if the ~literati Of
the country can not counteryail the effort:
of such a wicked combination, we know
not where to seek a remedy. The North
and the South know each other, not as
they are, but as they are represented by
theslying tongues of politicians, and the
distempered fancies of fanatics. But the
literary men of the Union, are, for the
most part, conservative in their views; ant
honest in their desire to promote harmony
and advance. the best interests of the
country. Could they, by means of Literary
Associations, be made acquainted with al
parts of the Union, by personal observa
ton, they could do much, very much, tt
stamp truth upon the heart of the nation
and eradicate those prejudices, to which
falshood has given birth, and politica
corruption, endowed with unlimited power
for evil. ,-,laaI %

sgn We are pleased to see that a bill
to establish the office of county Judge, in
the counties of Knox, Shelby, Davidson
and Montgomery, has passed the lower
branch of the Legislature. The system
is the best ever yet devised, for all the
counties; but since the majority have re,
pudiated it, it is gratifying to know thai
there is a fair prospect for the continued
enjoyment Of its benefits by Montgomery.

gg~ Yesterday was the day, appointed
by Gov. Harris, for Thanksgiving, and as
his proclamation seems to have been
authorised to be published only in the
Union & American, we presume it was a
partizan measure, designed only for loco
focos. IF thanks were to have been given
for abundant crops, all right; but if we
were ordered, in this State, to return
thanks for a deprecated currency, hard
times, and the consummate meanness OF
locofoco politicians, we are happy to say
we "wont in" Every day should be a
Thanksgiving day with the truly pious,
and when it is deemed proper to set part
a special day for that purpose, it should
be done by the dignitaries of the Church,
not by dirty political officials who can not
get to heaven even by the aid of Andy's
ladder. The State has nothing to do with
religious rites, except TO protect those
engaged in their performance, and it is
farcical and detrimental to religion to
permit unscrupulous demagogues to med
die with them. Those who drink and
swear and lie are, usually the successful
candidates for ~gubernatorial honors, and
they are a pretty set to decide when, and
for what the people should be thankful.

on the subject of the Public Printing
Nash. Nelcs.
According TO the report of the Superin-
tendent ofPublic Printing, etc, as was or
dered at the first session Of T~hirtyfourth
Congress, and had deem executed and de-
livered to January IL, 1857, including the
printing Of the Departments, is S743, 100
81
At the time this statement was made, a
number of expensive documents ordered
at the first session wer0 not completed; so
that it may be reasonable to suppose that
when all are finished, the cost of the print
ing for the FIRST session ofthe Thirty fourth
Congress alone, will exceed 81, 900, 600
Ten years ago the cost of the printing
for the two Houses of Congress, for both
sessions, did not exceed s275,000. This
included the paper and binding.

ry suddenly and Unexpectedly has this
pure and gentle spirit escaped from earth
TO the bosom of his God. 1t seems III
accordance with his lovely and peaceful
life that it should cease by the most pain
less of deaths that ever releases the soul
from the body. No days or weeks OF
protracted anguish dimmed his bright eye,
or compressed his smiling lips with pain,
or wasted his heaIthful figure with slow
decay. In the bloom Of health and
strength, he exchanged the beautiful robe
of mortality for that garment of immortal
iiy in which he now stands by tile river Of
Life, fearless Of danger or accident there
where neither death nor sorrow nor
leaIs can reach the redeemed. lie went
ap from the midst Of company of young
friends with whom he bad been singing
songs Of praise to the Saviour Of youth !;
but he went TO join greater host who Gel
citrate His praise, who said "O(such is
the kingdom of God" The transition
was TOO sudden for our sorrowing hearts,
but not for him. From early childhood
his character had been glowing in symme.
try and beauty. Parents, school mates.
and older friends had looked in wonder
and in love upon lis beautiful proportions,
and when the topmost stone was laid,-
when Religion crowned the moral temple
then angels cried with reJoicings Grace i!
Grace unto it ~ The echo Of that cOro-
nation shout comes down 10 us in sadden-
ed music. They rejoice with him, but
we must yet weep for him. We hear il
as vet only in the STORYTELLING bell which
announces that his mortal frame has come
to sleep its last sleep in orr mldst--in the
home of his childhood. We catch some
notes of that angelic hymn in the words
repeated by his loving pastor while weep
ing friends stand around his early grave
Il am the resurrection and the life. lie
that believeth in me shall never die" Let
US pray for faith and resignation that we
may hear more distinctly that joyful an
them which welcomes him TO his Heav-
eny home!
Pale lilies that grew in his early home
are already fading upon the breast OF one
who was as pure as their snowy petals,
and the evergreens above his silent heart
must also repeat the mortality Of all earth
ly beauty; but the blossoms Of virtue that
made his life lovely will still send n,eir
fragrance abroad though the night of death
is around them, and from each one that
loved him the dew of affection will fall
upon their closed petals perpetuaiing their
fragrance until Il e morning break. "Vis-
ilallonibus angelorum parca sJnt."
