historians have recounted, with just
indignation, that the bloody Mary cast
two hundred and forty men, women,

her brief andaHocious reign; but they
have not equally prominently brought
forward, that a greater number Of
priests and Catholic partisans we're, by
her Protestant successor, secietly
raeked to the utmost limits which tho
human frame can endure, in that awfi1
scene Of human agony, the Tower of
London.
After the massacre Of St. Bartliol0-
new, the ladies of the court went out
to examine long rows Of the bodies of
the HuguenOt cavaliers who had been
slain during the tumult, and curionsly
turning them over, when half-stripped
Of their garments, said to each ether,
"This must have been a charming over:

The Richmond South has long article,
which attacks Gov. Walker, of Kansas,
for an alleged completely with the Free
State men. The heaviest of its direct
charges against him Is that he is in favor
of submitting the Constitution, to be FORM
by the Convention elected in June, to the
vote of all the actual settlers in Kansas.
Says the South:
Congress aud the President solemnly
abjured the right TO dictate any system OF
Government to the Territory of Kansas
but the Hon. Robert J. Walker assumes
the prerogative of instrueting the Consti-
tutional Convention, upon matter, too
of the most vital Importance. Congress
left the people OF Kansas free to organize
State Government in their own way, and
| upon the principles approved by theil
own judgment; but the Hon. Robert j
Walker informs them that he will ne
allow them to adopt Constitution, bu
upon the condition ofsubmitting it to the
inhabitants of the Territory Thus it il
that he respects the principles of tn,

1t is astonishing to see such an intelli

of rights; for none of you are left out.
and what more can any but tyrants or ar
istocrats ask
We have not ROW time to go into what
is technically called "woman's rights but
VIII simply premise that had the law
making power been in the hands of
woman, as it has been in the hands of
men. they might hare discovered as many
reasons for legislating for their peculiar
interests, as men have found. Indeed,
their ingenuity might have discovered
certain reasons that men never have, and
never can urge in their behalf. Mind,we
do not say they ,could. but only say they
might have urged as q reason for more
carefully guarding their rights, their phys
ical inability to defend themselves against
the encroachIaents of the ruder and more
powerful portion of the human race
Their sensitiyeness might induce them 10
place certain restraints in the way of men
INDUCING 50 freely as they now do in the
use of profane language, the filthy habit
of chewing tobacco. splitting upon stove
hearths, carpets and floors, and tucking
away in the corners of the room old guilds,
might also have been abridged. We say
all this might have been; but as it is, they
now only ask that they be admitted to an
equality ofrights And does any man of
sense believe that if they were, the world
would be worse governed than it is now?
Besides the foregoing, it is now generally
admitted that the practice of selling in
toxicating liquors as beverage, is de-
structiye of the welfare and good order of
any community where it is suffered. This
being the case, what good reason is there,
that the practice should not be put an end
to?
There are but two principal reasons why
laws should be enacted. One is, that they
should be a ''terror to evil doers,'' and the
other,a "praise to those that do WELL" We
venture the assertion that any such law
will never prove injurious to any person
who, If not restrained, would iniure his
fellow men. What, then, should he our
policy with reference to rum making and
rum selling? We say, distinctly, prohibit
it altogether. Let the the rule be, place
no burthen or restraint upon any legiti-
mate article, or business, of trade or COM
merce, and prohibit such as are known
to be hurtfu' We are aware that many
men who are temperate in their habits,
believe that were we to prohibit distilling,
We should ruin the market for coarse
grains. They believe the large de-
Inand created 10y distilleries, 10 be of great
advantage to the grain raiser. We shall
attempt, in another article, to show that
such is not the case. That, on the con-
trary, the less the demand, the better for
all concerned. VERITAS.

Building Cities.

We believe all nations have had some
pretensions to eninence in founding cities;
and from the DAYS of Nimrod, the founder
of Nineveb, TO the town builder of Ne
braska, no doubt each can present evil
dences satisfactory to himself that he was
chief in the work of rearing great marts
of trade and centres Of population. But
from Nineveh and Bagdad, to Rome and
Constantinople, cities owed their pre-emi-
nence to despotie rulers who compelled
empires TO pay tribute to their capitals
1t was not till after that small band of sea
kings left their homes in the German
Ocean, in the early centuries of the mid
die ages, and spread commerce. and free
dom over VI estern Europe, that the peo-
pie assumed the task of building great
cities, and controlling the destinies of
States by the influences of trade. And
it was not until American enterprise was
felt upon the earth, that this power was
fully developed.
Here, we have reversed the order of the
old world-our seats of government are
/ the weaker and less powerful cities-our
commercial towns the potent and control
ling comm mites. The people are their
| own almoners, and control the results Of
| their own energy and industry. What is

In a Dilemma.

The Richmond South, the representa-
tive of the more radical portions of the
Southern people, still supports the admin
istration. 1t has, however, got itself into
q dilemma. 1t took occasion, previous to
Gov. WALKEG's departure to Kansas, to
eritieise his opinions and projects, so far
as they had crept into the newspapers. 1t
went so far as to lay all the blame of
Southern defeat in Kansas TO Gov. Walk
er, because it was reported that lie would
recommend the Convention TO submit the
Constitution to the people for vote. Such
a recommendation the South claims is an
invasion of Southern rights, and an insult
to the people of the slave States. 1t now
appears, according to Gov. Walker, that
Mr.. buchanan and tie Cabinet acre aqree4
upon tti.e point-that the Administration
is pledged to grant the people of Kansas a
chance to vote upon the Constitution
framed by the Convention soon to be
elected. The South, therefore, really at
taeks the Administration. The Peters
burg, Va, MteHigeneer charges it with so
doing, and it replies as follows:
1.-THE Petersburg Inteligenoer might
Justly accuse us of some want of candor in
not directing our structures against Mr.
Buchanan, instead of the Hon. Robert j.
Walker, if it were true that the Governor
of Kansas necessarily speaks the senti-
ments of the President of the United
| States. But tce k7ao,c that such is not the
case Neither Reeder nor Gesry was gov
erned by the instructions of President
Pierce in their Kansas policy, and it is
inst as likely that Walker misFepresents
the views of the present Administration.
In any event, it will be time enough to
hold the Administration responsible for
Walkers declarations. ietes they are ksaO,Us
to be approved by the President"
We have here the the bold and distinct
statement that Mr.. Buchanan does not up
hold Dir. Walker in his course. No one,
we think, viii doubt, whatever the future
NAV reveal, that Gov. Walker stated the
| truth when he declared in his Inaugural
/ that the Administration, before he left
Washington, agreed with him in his
views.
1t is perhaps not strange that the South
with President Pierce's conduct towards
his appointees fresh in its mind, should
venture to believe that President Buchan.
an will disown Mr.. Walker and his sen.
timents; but it may be reckoning without
its host. Whatever Governor Walker:
defects may be--and he has grievous one:
The is not man TO be trifled with, by
evena President-NattOnal Era.
