We take the following from a sketch Of Hon.

Mr.. CRTTENDEN ON THE ADMINISTRATIONS
We take the following from sketch of Hon
John j, Crittenden's speech at Covington. Ky.
" lie congratulated the people that the fury
of partisan strife is subsiding. lie thought
there could not be much of contest which is
preparing for the future when the people shall
again choose President Not much Of a contest
Ithink said he with prodigious grin which
brought down the crowd. An administration
that begins by spending ST. 100000 of sur
plus, spends $40, goo, 900 more during its first
year, and loots up at the expiration OF year
an expenditure of $50, 000, 600 with estimates
of &l00, 600 200 for the next year, can stand
long in the favor of the people lie would
frankly admit that Mr.. Buchanan came to the
Presidency at an unlucky time and he had had
an unlucky time of it.
The country had suffered great financial dis
tress commerce was depressed, and it was
somewhat owing to these calamities that the
deficiency in the national cxsfoquer exists.
But still the administration is chargable with
extravaganza; and the inevitable consequence
is great national debt. When it is remem-
bercd that the Administration Of the younger
Adams was denounced as extravaganza, when
the entire expenditure for four years was only
$54 900, 200, and that Of jackson, whose bill
of costs tor similar period was 800, 100000,
what will be the conclusion of the American
people when they consider 500 100000 cxpon-
ded by the Buchanan administration in single
year? 1t is enough to make the people study
seriously.
Mr.. Crittcnden followed this train of thought
in logical sequence until he fell upon the tariff
question, and maintained the necessity of re-
turning to the American system, or submit to
the evils of direct taxation, which must follow
the existing current of national politics. "

The Times is greatly mistaken if it supposes
that the Republicans of this State are about
to relnquish their organization, or lower their
platform. They have taken their ground and
will maintain it, with hearty welcome to all
who will stand with them.-Frec Press
The above from the Burlington Free Press, is
sensible; but when it copies sneer from
journal too much beneath notice to be named,
about the principal Editor of the Freeman be-
ing Private Secretary to Mr.. Slade, if elected

low for an ex-Professor of the Vermont Univcr-

10 PREVENT BAD ODoRs.-Both the fluid
and solid secretions of men and animals con-
tain nitrogen. gass which has neither taste,
smell nor color, while separated from other
bodies, and which has little affinity for other
elements, though it is found that those sub
stances most prone to fermentation are those
which contain nitrogen in some form, or as
an ingredient of their compounds. The
facal matters of all animals owe their
disagr eeable smell chiefly to a COM
pound of nitrogen, known as ammonia. A
curious change is effected, and that spon-
taneousl y, too, in these exertions as soon as
they cease to form part of the living or
ganism. They contain nitrogen, the Gle
ments of water, viz: hydrogen, oxygen and
carben. The carbon untes with the oxygen
of the water and the nitrogen with the hy-
drogen. thus destroying the water These
two compounds being simultaneously formed.
are set free at the same time, when they now
unite, forming what may be termed double
compound carbonate Of ammonia-the odor-
GUS element of privy vaults, cess. pools and
barn-yards.
Most decent people would gladly prevent
these disagreeable odors from escaping and
tainting the whole atmosphere about, if they
could procure, cheaply, some effectual alb
sorbent, or deoderizer. There is needed no
better material for this than every man find
on his own farm in greater or less supply
peat, or turf, mingled with fermenting
mass, Or spread over the heaps. Leaves and
woods mould, and plaster, make excellent
absorbents and deodorizers, aud they will add
immensely to the fertiizing value of the
whole. What better application need be
asked for our soil than barn and privy ma
nure, and the contents Of the cess-pool, all
mingled with peat, turf, plaster, &C., and
well crumbled down? There is no better
general application. Farmer.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Times is responsible for the subjoined bit of Cos
sip respecting Mr.. Douglas and the President:
"Thc rupture between the President and
Judge Douglas has been rendered more durable
by recent occurrences. A number of very cx-
tremc Southern men, not yet prepared to break
with the Northern Democracy, waited upon
the President last week, and represented to him
that they could not afford to drive Mr.. Douglas
into an alliance with the Republicans, or to
permit him to be crushed by them. 1t was
therefore necessary to the cause of the South
that Mr. Douglas should be returned to the
Senate, and that event might depend upon the
patronage of the Administration Mr.. Buch-
anan instantly betrayed strong and vindictivo
feeling. He declared that he would not stay
his hand that it was no longer desirable to
keep terms with Douglas that he had failed the
Democracy on critical occasion, and was no
more to be trusted by it than John P. Hale,
and that he should proceed to turn out of Office
all his followers, whom he could reach He
therefore resumed the work which he had sus-
pended in March, and Immediately removed
three of the most effective and able friends of
Mr. Douglas as a'Senatorial and Presidential
candidate in the Northwest

HARMONY AT HoME.-The feeling manifested
for some weeks past, in choice of candidates for
Governor, shows plainly the growing interest in
the Republican organization, and disposition
to stand by the party and make it efficient for
accomplishing the end for which it was formed
We look with pleasure upon the signs of per-
manent division in the ranks of the opposition
in this State, and through the whole North,
and am confident that great victory awaits us
in 1860.

Contrary to our expectations, Hon. Lawrence
Brainard feels called upon to decline having his
name used as q candidate for Governor. The
following is his letter as it appeared in the 81.
Adams Messenger:
ST.. ALBANs, June Dist, 1858.
Mr.. WHITIEG,-Dear Sir: noticed in your
paper of the 10th inst, that my name is pro-
posed as candidate for the office of Governor of
this State. While feel grateful for the honor
you have thus conferred upon me in thus sug-
costing my name IN connection with that Office,
and for the complimentary manner in which
you are pleased to speak of me, feel it my du-
ty to request you to withdraw my name from
the approaching canvass. | am induced to do
this, not from any unwillngness to serve tho
party in whose cause have so long labored and
the success of whose principles [ cherish SO
strong regard, but from a sense of duty to
those whose names were presented in connec-
ton with that Office at an earlier date than
mine, and who have strong claims for the suf-
frages of the Freemen of Vermont, both on act
count of personal fitness for the office and for
their devotion to the principles of the party,
and the eminent service, rendered in advancing
those principles. At no time since the organ
ization of the Republican Party, has there been
q greater demand for united Counsel and active
labor, than the present. While the principles
of that have strong ascendency in Vermont,
yet for that very reason, distraction or division
here, would impair, in great degree, that in
fluence and strength which Vermont has bad,
and still has in National politics, and with her
sister States. Upon the strength and union of
the party within her borders, depends in great
degree her strength abroad and it is my earnest
desire that no distraction may be permitted in
the approaching Convention, but that its coun-
sells and action may be characterized by great
unanimity and harmony of feeling. 1t is for
this reason, as well as greater fitness in Others
whose names arc before the public for that office,
that desire my name withdrawn, that I may
not in any manner be instrumental in OCCASION
ing division in the action of the Convention
To the candidate selected by the Convention to
occupy the post of Governor, l shall most cor
daily lend my support.
Be pleased to signify through your paper my
withdrawal, and believe me with sentiments of
esteem, Your friend and fellow citizen,
LAWRENCE BRAlNERD.
We are of the opinion that Mr.. Brainerd is
tho last man that should have declined but as
he observes, there was never time when a
complete union of the party was more to be de-
sired, nor where such union promised greater
good to the country. Certainly no one has rem
dered more efficient service in the cause than he,

The PRESIDENTS HosPTALTTlEs.-lt was

prompt denial with which it was met for the

friends. We certainly did not believe it. And

Most of the remaining will join the Repub-
lican forces-and the once powerful leader will
soon find himself donudcd of influence, follow

apparently commenced by Senator Douglas,
has been tried over and over again in this coun-
try by able politicians, and invariably, when
fully carried out, with the same result.
The question, then, @ where shall 60 p is
one which lis we may borrow the language of
dramatic criticsm) Mr.. Douglas has made his
own, by his independent style of acting. He has
seen the Administration is very far from show
ing any signs of reenting towards HIM. He
must be conscious that recantation on his part
will be the beginning of Illuminating expe-
ricnce at which his pride reyolts, even if his
proftssed principles make it prossible. He
will soon learn that the Republicans of Iii
noise do not fear him, and feel under no ne
cessity of making dishonorable alliances either
to fight or secure him. 1t becomes him, there
fore, to choose his political position speedily
If he can continue his creditable course of this
winter, by supporting those liberal and ma
tional principles which are now combining
everywhere the opponents of the National ad-
ministraton, his cooperation will be heartily
welcomed, and new spheres of usefulness will
open before him. But if he fincics that he
can construct a Douglas party pure and simple,
which separate from the other parties, is to
have any life in State or nation, let him try it,

miration for the pluck than for the discretion

Mr Rucbauan and the Assassins.

It is notable fact, and one pointing with sig
ni6canee to the entire sympathy of the Admin
istration with the Pro-slavery party in Kansas
that not 4 single robber or murderer OF Free
State settlers has ever been brought to justice,
nor has the slightest effort been made by the u
S. officials or the U. S. troops in the Territory,
to punish the PrO-slavery perpetrators OF outra-
ges from the tine of the brutal murder of Bar
bet by Clark, down to the wholesale slaughter
of innocent men by Hamilton and his gang Of
outlaws.
On the other hand some of the vilest Of the
Administration rufians have not only been coz
tinued in Office like John Candle-bOx Calhoun,
who is still Surveyor General of Kansas and
Nebraska but some of the most cruel and
bloody have been promoted. George W.
Clark, the well known murderer of Barber, has
been rewarded by Mr.. Buchanan for his eminent
services, by being appointed Purser in the
Navy He was recently Receiver at the Fort
Scott Land Office, and chief instigatOr of the
outrages in that quarter. The n. Y Courier
well says of this appointment
Judging James Buchanan by his conduct
he approves murder, he rewards those who per-
petrate it, and he adopts it as q useful means Of
governing Territory, of which he and his fel-
iow-partisans have solemnly asserted Its people
should govern themselves. King Bomba has
done something to outrage the sentiment of
Christian Europe in his tyranny over the Peo-
pie of his kingdom, but he has done nothing
like this. He has not made his government a
government Of bravos and assassins."

;IaVerv Fxtinction-How Accomplished.

The enemies offree labor in Missouri make .
great bugaboo because the friends OF White
populations do not propose some plan oi paying
for slaves to be got nd Of, and estimate the ex-
pense Of freeing that State at fifty millions, the
number Of slaves in Missouri now being about
one hundred and ten thousand.
The St. Louis Democrat, the able organ oi
the free labor movement, finds no difficulty II
surmounting the obstacle. 1t declares that no
one has ever proposed to liberate the slaves and
turn them adrift among free laboreis OF Ms
SCUM; nor to pay Shareholders fifty millions oi
dollars for such emancipation, CT to tax the Peo-
ple of the State 10 promote such purchase
The substitution Of free for slave labor-the
multiplying of the white race instead OF the
black raee-haye gradually crushed out slavery
in portions of the State, and viii in time re-
Iieye Missouri from the incubus. The Democrat
giyes some notable illustrations of the process
In Gasconade county slavery has been oblIter-
ated without infringement upon individuals
peacefully, and prOsPerOusly- In lS5l' 81 + ran
cois retunned 1926 free whites, and 1921 slaves

l .borers. and in 1855 the census gave 5OSS
free whites, T26 slaves The number OF bond
men had diminished nearly one half under the
influence of free white immigration. SO ofCole
County, in which is located the Capital OF the
State. In 1851, the population was Sly free
whites. and 1887 slaves. In 1856, free whites
9sI0, slaves sos an addition of nearly one half
TO the former, and a reduction of nearly one
fourth in the latter. Says the Democrat
Herein, likewise, it was the free labor element
making itself felt in the social system, just as It
has lately made Its marx there IN the political
system In the same manner We might point
10 St. Louis, st. Charles, Usage, Harrison,
Crawford, or twenty other counties IN which
slavery has been fast vanishing since 1850. AS
the past progression, too, has been conducted
with forecast, so likewise viii the future be
kept free from any insensate policy.
