In the present apportionment of tn,
census of 1859, the Eastern States have
o2, and the Nor tn Western States So
AT this time, the Eastern States have in
Congress one-tifth more power than the
North Western States.
Under the apportionment made upon
the population as it now is, the Eastern
States would have 81 Representatives,
ana the Northwestern States rs, without
including Minnesota. This would rive
TO the Western section majority of IL
Representatives. The ratio of increase
tionably, the political power of the North
Western States will oyerbalance the East
ern States by at least one third. 1t will
have, in proportion to other sections, in
the Congress under the new apportion-
ment, twice the number of votes it has
in the present. Those who associate ma
tional prosperity with the action of Con-
gress, may well consider what will be the
effect on the policy and prosperity of the
Union, of this ascension of political pow
er In the North West.

Triumph of American Genius.

AT the opening of the Mechanics In
slitute at Richmond, Virginia, Gov. Wise
delivered an address, from which we ex.
tract the following eloquent passage =
There was problem in Mechanics to be
solved, grade to overcome by locomo-
i've, with certain weight to be transport
ed. British machinists and mechanics
and science gave itup. A premium was
offered i'll the form of contract. the
terms of which an American mechanic
RRRfEfffc RRRftEffffcff f l6t5jnddefllFplh lb6th5jnddefllFplha1tqp qps l,v He
was shipped; it reached England /; the
trial railway was prepared. But jealousy
threw every obstacle in the way. What |!
American impudence dare to do what
British skill failed in! The calm consci-
business of strength in the mein and bear
ing OF Mr.. Norris seemed to say that he
would do it without fail. The Custom
House interposed obstacles /; combina-
tions of English artizans were formed
against the trial. AT last all Instructions
were removed liberality and justice pre-
vailed, and the engine was allowed the
test of It's power. The day came for it !;
crowds of spectators went to the scene
Apart from the crowd, near the locomo-
tive, stood a few anxious hearts-a group
of Americans-full of fear, but full of
hope. Norris applied the steam /; the
machine, like "A living, moving, breathing
thing, seemed to become impatient Put
on the weights, said the great mechanic.
Ton was added to ton. What no mur-
mur of too much? The envious critics
We're surprised. They expected some
Yankee plea for less than contract bar
gain but no, there Mr.. Norris stood si-
lent until the English ceased to add more
Are you content, gentlemen, said he,
that the locomotive shall draw so
much p 1t will never draw that, thought
they, and so feared the friends who look
ed on, but one moment more and the
friends had all doubts dissolved, but not
by the engine. Add on double so much
more said Mr.. Norris 1t was DONE
He then calmly took his station, gave
signal, and the mechanics giant, like a
greyhound on the slip, bound at the
wave of its masters hand, and walked
away with double its burthen, like a
thing of life.

A JUsT CORD OF WooD.-We once
heard an intelligent gentleman, of high
character, remark that no class of men
were more dishonest than farmers, when
they sold wood. Our conviction is that
his remark was too sweeping and yet we
fear that great fault may justly be found
in this respect. There is no more Justice
in selling three -fourths ola cord of wood.
and taking pay for full cord, than there
is in selling forty five pounds of wheat,
and taking pay for sixty pounds. If the
man who cheats in the size of his loads
of wood, were to get his pay in quarter
dollars which were worth but twenty
cents, he would be paid in his own
coin" But he would make some com
plant about it, and would surely demand
that the money should be all it professed
to be. All right. But it should be re-
membered that the cord of wood, also,
should be what it processes to be.

Tbs Count de Tendilla, while beseiged
by the Moors in the fortress of Alhambra,
was destitute of gold and SILVER where
with to pay his soldiers, who began to
murmur, as they had not the means of
purchasing the necessaries of life from
the people of the town. :" In this dilem-
ma, says the historian, what does this
most sagacious commander? He takes
number of little morsels of paper, on
which he inscribes various sums, large
and small, and signs them with his own
hand and name. These did he give to
the soldiery, in earnest of their pay
How will You say, are soldiers to be
paid with little scraps of paper?' Even
SO, and well paid, too, as l will presently
make manifest; for the good count issued
a proclamation, ordering the inhabitants
to take these morsels of paper for the
full amount thereon described, promising
to redeem them at a future day with gold
and silver, Thus by subtle and most
miraculous alchemy, did this cavalier
turn worthless paper into precious gold
and silver, and make hisp.la impover-
ished army aboundd,s Professie@ The his
torian adds, ''The Count de Tendilla re-
deemed his promises like a loyal knight /;
and this miracle, as it appeared in the
eyes of the Agapida, is the first instance
on record of paper money, which has
since spread throughout the civilized
world the most unbounded opulence.
This happened in 1884 aud thus we
see that paper money, Notwithstanding
all the maledictions that have been be-
slowed upon it by the ignorant, the un-
believing and the faithless, was the ad-
Junct of the invention of printing, the
discovery of the Western World, the
Protestant Reformation, and the increas-
ing impulse given to civilization, indus
try, and learning. The more intelligent
and prosperous people, the more it has
abounded, and though it has, like all the
other attributes of civilization and liber-
ty, been occasionally abused and degen-
Grated into excessive license, yet the good
it has effected has outweighed hundred
fold all the evils, and from the rashest and
widest accelerated stages of its progress,
we have never been driven any where
near the point from which the forced and
premature march began. 1t needs wise
regulation, like personal liberty and po-
litical right, and like these last it can be
subjected to the despotic control of no
governmental action among free and
enlightened people.

Poor Richards Maxims.

These maxims, by Dr. Franklin,
though often printed, lose nothing of
their value by repetition
Plow deep, while the sluggard sleeps,
and you shall have grain to sell and keep.
Pride is as loud IA beggar as want, and
a great deal more saucy
Silks, satins, scarlets, and velvets put
out the kitchen fire.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Pride breakfasted with plenty. dined
with poverty, and supped with infamy.
Extravaganza and improvidence end
at the prison door.
1t is easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one in fuel.
If you would know the value of money,
so and try to borrow some.
The eye Of the master will do more
work than both his hands.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
He that goes a-borrowing returns a
sorrowing.
Rather go to bed supperless than rise
in debt
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than
labor wears.
A life of leisure and life of laziness
are two different things.
Three removes are as bad as a fire.
Creditors have better memories thar
debtors
The rolling stone gathers no moss.
If you would have your business done,
go if not, send
1t is foolish to lay out money in the
purchase of repentance.
Buy what thou needest not and then
thou shall sell thy necessaries.
We commend the above as being well
worthy of the study of the young read
ers of this department; they may be
worth hundreds of dollars to them in af-
I ter years. -.a

wealth and Luxuriousness of the ENG.
lish AristOcracy.

iIsh AristOcracy.
The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch think.
that the Fifth Avenue New York; would
be-aristocrats are very small potatoes to
compare with the high English gentry
Ii gives an account of the latter as fol-
lows:
About sixty miles from London is
the estate of the Earl of Spencer, which
comprises 10000 acres, divided into
parks, meadows, pastures, woods and
gardens. His library contains SO. 900
Nate iluldry III tnc n6fICr. 1rTo ".
Richmond s home farm consists of %. 900
acres, or over thirty-fve square miles,
and this is in crowded England, which
has in all an area of only so, 900 square
miles, or just $4,000. 900 of acree, Civ
ing, were the land divided, but two acres
to each inhabitant. The residence of the
duke is fitted up with oriental magnif-
cence. Twenty five race horses stand in
his stables, each under a special groom.
The dishes and plate upon the table are
all of porcelain, silver and gold. His
ayiary is supplied with almost every va.
riety of rare and elegant birds, and large
herds of cattle, sheep and deer are spread
over the immense lawns.
The same authority from which we
gather these facts, says that the Duke of
Deyonshire's palace at Chatsworth excels
In magnificence any other in the kingdom.
lie spends the whole of his enormous in
come. In the grounds about the house
are kept 400 head of cattle, and 400
deer. The kitchen garden contains 12
acres, and is filled with almost every spe-
cies of fruit and vegetables A vast ar
6oreton connected with this establishment
is designed to contain sample of every
tree that grows. There is also glass
conservatory 289 feet in length, lie feet
in breadth, 81 in height, covered by
$4,000 square feet of glass, and warmed
by several miles of pipe conveying hot
water. One plant was obtained from
India by special messenger, and is val
ued at $4,000. One of the fountains
near the house plays l67 feet high, said
TO be the highest jet in the world. Chats
worth contains 5000 acres, but the duke
owns $4,000 acres in the county of Dew
onshire Within, the entire is one vast
scene of painting, sculpture, mosaic
work, carved wainscoting, and all the ell
egancies and luxuries within the reach of
almost boundless wealth and highly re-
fined tastes.
Fivesixths of the soil in England is
divided among scarcely thirty thousand
propretors. There are twenty nine bank
ers in London, whose transactions yearly
embrace six or seven millions sterling.
This is one side of the picture. The
struggles between capital and labor are
fearful-the rich always becoming richer
and the poor poorer Three hundred
thousand persons die of famine in year
(?) and three hundred thousand volun-
tarily emigrate to escape the same dis
NAL doom.
