To those who read any or all of the above

is necessary to shsw their great value, not
alone to the statesman and philosopher. but
also to the man OF culture and the rhilanthro
pist. The subjects discussed in the course of
a year, embrace aimostey topic of interest
to thoughtful minds. But this alone would
be small recommendation. for not what Is
written upen, but what is written, Is the mat
ter of noment. Anybody can write on
great variety ef themes. but only wisdom
writes words to be remembered. This is the
crowning excellcncy Of the Reviews and
Blackwood, every article shows the skillful
hand, and if the sentiments are not always
correct. they are stated with liquid clearness
so that their errors can be detected We eknow
of no other cotemporary literature so uniform
ly excellent an this which makes up these pc
riodicals. Without pedantry, it is full Of
learning without turgidity, il is eloquent and
charming: without bluntness. it is clear and
simple Those who write for these periodicals
seem to be men of marked ability and ripe
culture, upon whose minds knowledge has
produced its most appropriate efects,--im-
parting vigor, guided by taste; giving en-
largement of views, with the genius Of hu-
manity.
OF course. we speak generally. There are
articles which possess slight interest for the
majority of American readers, being discus
eions of local matters, or customs and prin-
ciples not familiar, or relating in any way, to
US. Doubtless, some of the articles contain
sentiments which will not obtain universal
assent, but, as a whole, any one or all of them
offer an intellectual feast to him who is quail
iied TO appreciate it.
One thing should be kept in mind. He
who procures these may be sure Of their per.
manent value. The large majority Of the
publications of to-day are only of passing in

the charm which attaches to living things. vet

Proceedings Of Congress.

In the Senate yesterday the discussion
Of the Kansas question was opened by Mr..
Douglas, the Senate chamber being crowd
ed.
He denounced the message as containing
a radical and fundamental error, but excu-
ses the President on the ground of his alb
sence from the country when the Kansas
Nebraska bill was passed, and had not com
pretended the question nor the cireun-
stances under which the bill passed
J He maintained that he could not endorse
the Lecompton Convention without viola
ting the principles of the bin and stuitlfy-
ing himself
He turns the argument of the message
against the President, and says that nothing
will satisfy him but allowing the people to
decide on all questions pertaining to their
government
He insists that the questions pertaining
to the institutions of white men, the judi
ciary, school, taxation, franchise, &c, are
as important as those pertaining to the ne
gro, and there is no reason for making an
exception in favor of the negro.
He denounces, in unmeasured terms, the
Lecompton proceedings.
His speech has created great excitement

DENocRAcY AND KNow-NoTHrNeIsM.-
It is a significant fact thai the Administra-
ton candidate for Governor of Missouri
was but a short time since an active MEM
Der Of the Know-N othing Order. So plain
is the proof of this that he admits his for
connection with the Order; yet, not
withstanding the admission, the party raj
lies warmly to his support, including the
entire Catholic interests.
The imported editor of the Ohio
Statesman, who leads on the locofocos of
this State, is in precisely the same pre-
dieament. When Know Nothingism was
thought to be popular, he joined the Or
der; and now, none so fl as he to stand at
the head of those whom he then opposed.
Fully one-half of the candidates the De-
mocracy of Holmes county have been vo-
ting for within the last year or two, were
formerly Know Nothings,-when the Know
Nothings were the winning party. They
were acct Nothings"in the Order, and they
went back to the Democracy-and the
Democracy received them.

R-On Friday, the 18th of this month,
ALEXANDER and PERsINA TIDBALL, SONS of

place, were arrested upon a complaint
made before a COMMISSIONS: al Cleveland,
for a~bstracting money from the mails, and
were discharged upon giving recognizance
for their appearance for examination on the
following Friday, in the mean time, it is
said, the Grand Jury found Bills of indict
ment against them, and that warrants have
issued for their arrest, but whether or no,
the boys since are no where to be found.
The parties charged with this crime are
the sons of aged and respectable parents,
and have heretofore borne a good charac-
ter. If innocent, we sincerely wish that
some means may be brought about by
which it can be satisfactorily established,
but if guilty, we hope and trust that this
first trial of the thorny path of vice may
deter them from trying it again. Mercy
for young and first offenders.

INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON.

Hc "L - esd L[
The Cabinet was suddenly called togeth.
er Friday to deliberate upon the the fol
lowing extraordinary letter received from
the Collector of the Port of New York:
NEW YORK, June IA, 1857.
To THE PREsIDENT-Sir. The late in
structions of the Treasury Department, re-
curing me to be vigilant in the execution
of the Tariff act of 1916, with the amend
ments of the last session, have induced me
to rc-examine the Legislation Of Congress
upon that subject-and | have come to
the conclusion that these acts are incon-
stitutional. You are aware that my oath
of office requires me to obey the Constitu-
ton of the United States, as well as the
laws of Congress. Of course, if those
laws are in violation of the Constitution,
| must obey the Constitution and disregard
the laws. Now, l am entirely satisfied
that the Tariff acts of 1916, and amend
ments, are a tariff for protection and not
of revenue-and that they violate the
Constitution of the United States, which
permits Congress simply to raise revenue,
not to project one branch of industry at
the expense of another. Under these cir
cumstances, l have but one course to pur-
sue, and that is to disregard the Tariff, and
to refuse to execute the Tariff laws until
they are declared to be constitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is proper TO say that the judgements of
the District or of the Circuit Courts of the
United States viii not be sufficient to remove
my Const %tution'1 scruples or swerve me fl. m
my duty. Nothing short of the decision
of the highest Court in the United States
will be sufficient. You will please, there
fore, to take notice, hat on the first day
of July next, I shall stand by the Consti-
tuition and uphold the rights of this locali-
ty. No duties will DO collected except
such as may be necessary to pay the sal
aries of myself and the faithful band Of off
GERS who intend to stand by me in this
emergency. l am proud to say that tie
Mayor ofNew York, who, you are aware,
is a master of the constitutional law, APP
proves of this course, and has promised to
aid me with the immense force at his
command in suppressing the indignation
of the merchants, which may naturally be
expected.
Yours respectfully,
H. j. REDFlELD.

aErThe Democrat who anever asked an
office" was in town the other day. At ev-
ry turn, he was "sleeved" by some one
whose "friends" had prevailed on him to
be a candidate this fall. He bore it all
well enough until he got as far as the steps
of the Public Offices, where he was again
approached by one of these 'clerer fellows
and good democrats" who hadn't thought
of being candidate, but was prevailed on
to accept the Office. He could stand it no
longer, and broke out with, "My God are
you all candidates here in town this fall
you are about the tenth or twelfth man /
have spoken to since I came to town, and
all of them are candidates."
This man is green. He ought to be
read out of the party Immediately. He
don't amount 10 a hill of beans in it, and
unless colored tickets are used to prevent
it, shouldn't wonder he'd vote the Repub-
lican ticket. Who should have the offices
if not the 'town peopleg" Who but they
do tie treating? Who gets up the pro-
grains for Democratic meetings? Who
sees that the country folks" vote right,
and keeps them posted up in Democracy ?
Why, the "town folks" to be sure. Then
they are entitled to the Offices, and mean
to hare them, too. The people in the coun-
try can make themselves easy-go on with
their municipalities is for the town,
where they have the leisure to investigate
it. Perhaps, as no n here seems to care
agreat deal about Commissioner, they may
be allowed the candidate, provided there
should be nothing like kicking out of the
traces with them, if they should rebel, they
can have nothing. So mind your P.'s
and Q.'s.

SClassical Caning;'...Testi-
mOny of an Expert.

At the time of the assault upon Sena-
tor Sumner, by the late Preston S. Brooks,
there was no person in the country so en-
tirely delighted with it rs Mr.. A. d. Banks,
editor of the South-Side (Va.) Democrat,
and he gave u%tierance to his overjoyed
feelings as follows:
"The telegraph has recently announced
no information more grateful to our feel
ings than the classical Gaming which this
outrageous a%bolitionist received, on Thurs
day, at the hands of the chivalrous Brooks,
of South Carolina. No punishment is adj
equate to a proper restraint of his inso-
lence but a deliberate, cool, digniied and
classical Gaming.
1t SO happens that Mr. Banks has been
privileged to undergo a similar assault to
that committed upon Mr.. Sumner, and can
now speak with more authority than ever
concerning the merits of a classical Gaming.
He had acquired the i'll will of Mr.. P. Kean,
a Virginia correspondent of the New York
Herald, by some structures he had made,
in the Democrat, upon his letters. Kean
demanded a retraction and Banks refused
TO give one, wherefore the latter proceeded
to administer to the latter a classical ca
ming" pathetically related as follows by the
Broken Banks:
Yesterday morning, while crossing the
head of Bollingbrook street, in the direction
of the Drug store of Messrs. Robertson d
Co., without a moments warning, and
while unconscious of the approach of any
one, I received two successive blows on my
head from a heavy bludgeon in the hands
of Kean, who had stolen up unperceiyed be-
hind me.
Turning round, l Immediately closed
with him but was prevented from repelling
the attack of the assassin by the i%nterfer-
ence of ~bystande;s, who Immediately sepe-
rated us.
Banks bleeds now-he has had a "clas-
steal Gaming" Heis a martyr to freedom of
the press, as "the outrageos a~boltionist" was
to freedom ofspeech. He can now speak
of canings as an expert. He was taken
unawares as Mr.. Sumner was, and he has
now an opportunity to speak of the "chiv-
alrous" Kean-but he in fact uses very diff
ferent language and calls him a drunken
brute who will assassinate as readily as he
will lie" "This change in opinion" remarks
the N. Y. Post, ais the wholesome result of
experience" "Knowledge by suffering en-
tereth" says the old adage. The monkey
who was so amused with the boiling of lob
sters as to put his tail in the kettle TO get
a subjective consciousness of the operation,
is not reported afterwards to have pro-
nounced it GRATEFUL to his feelings.

SLAVE CATcHINe.-We publish in an
other column further particulars of the late
tragical slave case at Cincinnati. Both
negro and the Marshall will likely recover.
"We confess that we feel but little com
miseration for the mercenary s~lave-hunter
who received in his vitals the cold steel of
the victim he was pursuing. 1t is base,
dirty, unmanly, inhuman, business, this
Of slave-cathing. So utterly degrading is
it that, even in the South, no decent, self
respecting man engages in ii, and the slave
holders who profit by his vocation spurn
him as an outcast. In the free States,
with a more ~humanizing atmosphere sur.
rounding him, the creature who can lend
himself 10 such a business must be utterly
abandoned and despieable. He throws his
manhood aside when he puts himself like
abloodhound upon the track of an escap-
ing bondman; and ifhe falls in the pursuit,
he has no claim upon the pity of those
whose nature he outrages. If he act like
a dog, let him die like one"

A Chapter of Murders.

A St. Petersburg letter in the Czar of
Cracow, gives the following extraordinary
story:
ga tragical drama has just taken place
here. The agent of Count Sch, who
had been TO tie bank to receive a sum of
$4,000 silver roubles, lost the packet of
notes on his way home. The money was
picked up by a clerk, who, instead of giving
the property at once to the owner, followed
him to bis house and inquired the name of
the person who lived there. The finder of
the money her returned home, h~esitating
in his own mind how he should act. When
he arrived there, a violent quarrel took place
between him and his wife, the latter wish
ing to keep the money. The clerk, how
ever, on the following morning, went to the
house of the count to deliver the sum, but
the latter would not receiveit, saying that
his agent had committed suicide in the
night in consequence of the loss. > Over
come with remorse, the clerkreturned homo
where he found that during his absence
his wife had hanged herself from vexation
at not having keptthe money. He imme-
cut down the body and hanged
himself with the same rope"

E- Freedom of Speech seems to be
exercised to the fullest extent by some Of
the leading Democratic politicians, in rela-
ton to the former great lights of the party.
At the late meeting in New York, to make
arrangements for the reception of Walker,
Elijah F. Purdy, an old Tammany Sachem,
presiding, the principal speaker let off as
follows.
"Where now is VIM. L. Marcy? 4
stranger in his old home, preparing, rs the
newspapers tell us, to go abroad to inspect
probably tie practical working of that de-
lectable black-coat-and -blu~e-stoeking dip
lomacy, which is the only really American
line of policy which he has in-augurated
in our foreign affairs. Where is Caleb
Gushing? Clarifying himself in maguilo-
quent speeches, as usual-blowing his own
trumpet through the land-parading his
infamy before his old fellow townsmen OF
Newburyport-as did Hester Prynne, the
unhappy adulteress of Hawthorne's tale,
the Scarlet letter ON her breast. As for
poor Frank Pierce, nobody knows and mo-
body cares what has become of him. He
has disappeared mysteriously-but neither
the Times nor the Herald have thought it
worth their while to offer a reward for the
discovery of his whereabouts"
