An UnoOntradiCted Allegation.

The grave allegations. made by Mr..
Lincoln, in bis Springfield Speech, against
Mr. Douglas, remains unanswered uncon-
tradicted. Mr Lincoln charged. upon the
evidence before the public, that the Senator
was party 10 the conspiracy by which
the old and timehonorcd policy of the Gov.
ernment in relation to Slavery was rever.
sed, the Constitution Of the country v'rtu
ally amended, and the "peculisr institution"
nalionalized by the agency Of partizan
Supreme Court. He made it apparent
that the Kansas. Nebraska bill was the first
step in the execution Of the cunningly de-
vised plot; that it was followed by the
oracuar enunciations Of the Cinoinnaltl
platform; that the heralding OF the expect
ed decision of the Court in the Inaugural
Of President Buchanan, was preparation
of the public mind for the astonishing abb
ter ditG of that tribunal; aud that the de
tison itself was the climax, the cap shief,
in the succession Of events that had their
origin in some caucus or combustion Of
which Senator Douglas was par:
The facts upon which this conclusion
rests make chain Of evidence that is ire
frsgible, and though in the heat and ex.
cilement of the present they may be over,
looked, the historian. in dealing with the
events Of this period, must adopt them as
sufficient proof of the conspiracy against
Liberty which they establish. Mr. Doug
las has hardly yenlured to notice the
charge as it stands. lie is 80 busily en-.
gsged in deluding the people with Popu.
lar Sovereignty. which is a NTH, aud with
defending the Dred Scott decision. which
is a mournful reality. that bis attention
cannot be diverted to a minor matter like
this. At Springfield be dsnissed it with
a sneer; elsewhere he has not noticed it at
all. We take it that silence before an &C
cusation Of such magnitude so vitality af.
fecting the Senator's reputation, and 40
nearly concerning the welfare Of the coun.
try, is the worst possible answer, it it be
not indeed confession of guilt. It was
Mr. Benton's belief that what Calhoun had
planned, Mr. Douglas had contracted to
execute; that the cool and wary intellect
of the South CaroIinian saw tho danger
to which his fayorite form Of despetism
was exposed from the awakened concisnce
and educated self.interest Of the North,
and that he provided the remedy that Mr.

order ir a louder tone, without the least

drive the cattle in there. The son didn't
even deign to look up, and disobeyed the

positively shocked the Judge, who, look

The AristOCraOy Of Money.

With all our boosted democracy, money
exercises more undue influence 10 the
United States than any other country on
the globe. From Infancy we are taught
to believe il the source Of every earthly
good. The excessive homage which il ex
acts, is The very pareut Of unuumbered 80.
eial and political evils-for il too often
ovsrrides talent and virtue, aud with 6 man.
tie broader than charity, it covers every
sin: When kept by higher and purer 10
6ueuces within Legitimate limits, It is the
nurse Of economy and Independence and
adds springs to industry and enterprise, but
let'it once break over these bounds, it then
perlneates and corrodes the social system.
Few persons understand the true use Of
money, hence its possession is rs often .
curse as a blessing. Meu will sacrifice
health, happiness aud honor to acquire that
which, when acquired, can afford no solid
satisfaction. II il adds to the rational en-
joymsut Of life-if it enables struggling
genius to surmouut the steps Of poverty
il il administers to the sick, clothes the na.
ked and feeds the hungry, then it is bles.
sing; but II it only increases our pride, ex.
travagaLce and dissipation, it is then the
greatest Of curses.
Our real wants are few-our imaginary
are as numberless as the sands on the sea
shore. The most wrstched creature we ev-
or saw, was an old miser, surrounded with
his bags Of money, coined from the tears Of
widows and Orphans--the happiest man
we know is our friend Tom Parish, the
shoemaker. Tom owns a wife, several
fla1en. headed children and fiddle When
not engaged in mendiDg bis own soul and
the soles Of his customer, he tortures out
Of bis fiddle, songs d |bve and war. He
says when bis thread Of life is clipped by
the fatal shears and he is asked to peg out,
that he expects to obey the summons
"NOt like the galley slave at night,
to bis dungeon
But like one who wraps around, the drapcry
Of his couch,
And lies down to pleasant dreams"
Tom is philosopher and we hope in
these hard times that many Of our readers
will profit by bis example, Such men
alone, in these days Of broken banks and
wrecked fortunes, can
"Doff the world aside and bid Il pass."

There are several other plans for uniting

One is for carrying the wires across ouT

quinng very little submarine work. An.

Europe. Still smother is 10 carry one from

Scene in a Court Room.

A correspondent Of the Fsirmont True
Virgtnion gives an smusiug description Of
q singular scene which occurred recently
in the Marion county court house:
Mr.. F. H Piermont Eat IN rather reeBm-
bent position, with the back Of his chair
against the enormous stove near the clerks
desks. From the stove aseends perpen.
dicuIar 10 the ceiling, stove pipe Of great
length. Some one. perhaps Mr.. Watson.
the clerk, haIloed to Mr. P. to take care, or
the stove would be upset; tbereapOn Mr.,
Neeson and Mr. Raymond rather abruptly
aud loudly seconded Mr.. Watson; and as
il TO assist in creatiDg The alarm, the stove
pipe ratified against the ceiling. Like
lightning Mr.. Pierpont Sprang from bis
seat, ran across the room, and jumped out
Of q window bead foremost.
A panic Immediately seized all-amosi
unacOuutsbe panic. Some one said the
ceiling was about to fall; tLis capped the
climax; every one took Is his heels; Judge
Camden jumped up on the window sill,
the clerk jumblsd out Of the window next
the desk; Messers, F. B. Hall, AS. Hay
den, G. D. Camden. jr,AllisOn Flsmming
VIM. P. Thompson, and Ellery X. Hall,
all made for one window, and panic strick-
en-, like flock Of sheep, tumbled out heels
ovOr head after Mr., Piermont--some On
their hands; some On the backs Of friends,
and all presenting q most ludicrous ap.
pearance as they rolled about the court
house yard, to the great terror ofthe young
laiies enjoying the "al fresco" Of the jail
porch, convenient 10 the window.
John Ksan as il the devil we're at bis
heels, made for the door, upset two old
men. who yelled terrifcalIy, in the ball.
cleared the ratings n the yard, and never
looked back till he got to the other side Of
the street. Meanwhile Others fell upon
their knees and prayed, some were petri
fed with fear, and others stood aghsst
with wonder. 10 about five minutes, how
ever, the Whole scene ended. The stove
did not fall. the stove pipe stood erect, the
ceiling was firm; loud laughter succeeded
despair, good bumor once more prevailed,
and every one, looking little foolish and
a great deal pleased. took his sent IS be
fore, and the business Of the court went on
as usual.
