Ed. FREMoNr JouRNA1-DEAR SiR:-
Not with the wish Of encroachiug upon the
timo Of your regular correspondents | for
ward this communication, presuminr that
a short epistlo although from a student will
not DO unacceptable. My purpose at onco
gives rise to thought-Me value Of
newspaper. No one appreciates newspa.
per more than the student. To him, shut
out as he is from the busy affairs Of life. kept
under tho patrol guard of study, permitted
only to roam in certain directions Of ltera-
ture for the greater part of his time; to him
it comes like golden-wingcd messenger;
ho looks upon it's welcome faco rs upon
that Of friend, and the newspaper satisfies
his curiosity, lots him out as il were into the
busy arena Of life, and causes smile or
hearty laugh, to bring into action those mus
cles Of his face, (apd heart too,) which hours
of study have rendered grave and rigid
With pleasure does he pore over its contents
and review the events of tho day drawn up
in its columns, and as a savory dish steaming
with fatness gratifes the appetite Of the,
famishod mortal, so does the newspaoe,-
steaming from the press, crafty the intol,
lectual appetite of the student. Books arc
indispensable in their places, so are news
papers. Tho engineer as he speeds radidly
onward over the rail, catches up n news-
paper and reads-the traveller hails it
as sent to relieve his dull monotony--tho
backwood's man far from civilizations, bat
Ting with solitudes and prowling foes, pulls
out from his greasy pocket the newspaper
Of yesterday and reads the current news
the exile banished from homo welcomes
with smile, the sheet of his native village
tho mechanic weary with labor sits down
at his firesido and reads to his family from
the newspaper-the prince statesman and
beggar read it as well--reform makes it an
instrument of success; right looks upon it
as guardian and defender; and tho news
paper is at once the bold denouncer Of wrong
and tyranny and the vindicator of justice,
that is, if it is worthy of tho name newspa-
per. Would that oHmigM appreciate tho
Inewspaper, then would it assume its proper
place in literature and meaner sheets like
meaner men sink into oblivion. But shall
transgress tho rules of correspondence, so,
with success to the Journal, Editor, office,
boys, DC, romain
Yours Truly, B.C.J.

ADvKRTIsING.-The Philadelphia Ere
ming Bulletin, noting the falling off in ad-
vertising which has accompanied the hard
'times, says:
Discontinuing to advertise is like taking
down ones sign. 1t is sort Of intimation
Of retirement from business, and the public
treat il as such. Or they may regard it as
evidence OF something having gono wrong
in the business, which requires privacy for
the purpose of investigation, Whatever
construction may be put upon it, the result
is disastrous. Now wc advise all our read
sn who may have fallen into tho common
error Of the season, to como out Of their
holes, to put up their signs once moro, and
70 advertise as much and in rs many papers
as they did in the best. times. While
business creates advertising, it is equally
true that advertising creates business. It
creates talk and stir in business circles,
and reminds people that they have no right
to be leading drones' lives, even though the
times be dull. And even in the worst of
times, advertising always pays well, and
the moro Of il there is, the greater will be
the circulation Of money, and tho sooner will
wo be restored 10 condition Of prosperity

squat'er sovereignty Practically Demon

etrnted.
This patent doctrine is admirably illus
,ratsd by following incidents.
A Boston blackguard leavos Boston for
the good Of Boston; comes to SanduslSy
county squats on tho summit OF the demo
cratic party, absorbs his living out Of il for
about year, knocks old citizons aside, gots
government appointment and in two years
after his appearance finds himself busy in
deciding who tho people may and who they
may not, have for public servants. There
is considerable squatting and a largo
amount ofsovereignty in this. We wonder
if the people Of Clyde don't admire this
mans modosty, graceful squatting. This
agreeable blessed sovereignty--how truly,
beautifully democratic this all looks. Tho
dear, disinterested, good man, to como MI
the way from Boston, and be SO patriotic
and condescending.
You old democrats who for twenty or
thirty years have given your time, votes and
money, without office or reward, for the
sake of the party, ought to feel grateful to
this disintorcsted bcnefactor and the five or
six equally benevolent gentlemen who now in
common own you, control you, as much as
the president and directors Of stage com
pany own the mules that draw them through
the mud. Though this may be none of oul
business, we can't help noticing such events
as matter Of history.
Botefur lets the world know he is study
ing law, which study he commenced about
ten years ago. We npprehend he gave up
that study while he vas studying nature
and preparing to spend his life in tho "StocE
Business" We think he must make goot
lawyer, on The same principle that the Indi
ans dog was a good Bear dog. That is, he
had never tried him, but he knew he was goot
for nothing else, and therefore must be goot
for bear. I

THE PROSPECT.

The history of tho Republican party is
full of encouragement. 1t is scarcely four
years old, but already tho ranks of the cor
rupt democracy, aided though they be with
tho official patronage of the nation, tremble
before it. 1t spraug into existence, not rs
the tool or instrument of designing men,
but as the popular expression of determined
hostility to the spread of slavery. 1t is
based on the assumption that man is man
let his color be what it may; and that it is
equally destructive to tho white and black
race to continue and extend the system Of
American slavery. 1t claims no right to
interfere with slavery in the states, but it
meets all demands for its further extension
with determined negative. 1t plants it
self on the doctrine of the Immortal Declar-
alton, and on the we'll known sentiments of
the men who framed tho Constitution. 1t
believes that this Government was establish
cd to extend liberty and not slavery. 1t
regards the contest between tho free ard
the slave states, or rather between the black
power in the slave states and tho free SEN
timent Of the nation as tho great and only
question in national politics. 1t there
fore invites all who can occupy with it the
broad ground that freedom for all men is
better than slavery, and that the power of
the nation shall never be used to extend
the accursed system, 10 unite in this holy
crusade.
Tho march ofropublicanism has hitherto
been that of an army with banners. The
slave oligarchy, which is as oppressive to
the whites who live by labor as to the
blacks themselves, already tremblss before
it. In the first presidential contest in which
republicanism has acted part, it has made
a mark on its opponents they will not soon
efface. That democracy which is slavery
is bound to 60 down before it. Tho feud
between Douglas and Buchanan il daily
growing moro firm and moro incurable.--
Never more can the northern democracy bo
brought enmass to sustain the niggcr driv-
ers Of the south.

Fish, Fish.! Fish!.

The tyrannic democracy was not polite to
tho people of Clyde. Botefnr was detor-
mined to make them swallow Fish, wheth.
er they desired it or not, just as his master
did towards the people of Kansas With lie,
compton.
Botefar's Fish would not stand inspection
having begun to smell before leaving the
Michigan institution.
But when Buchanan, BotefIr, and Mt
Democratic Messenger order a pooplo tc
swallow sinking fish, it must bo dono in
order to servo and save the tyrannic demo
cratic party, and above all to promote the
great doctrine Of squatter sovereignty.

Tyrannic Dc1nocracY.

Inasmuch as there is two kinds of De-
mocracy it becomes necessary to adopt some
namc by which to designate ono from the
other. Ono branch we shall call the Doug.
las democracy. The other the tyrannic de-
mocracy, by which we mean those boilers
who followed James Buchanan off the Gin
cnnati platform to the niggcr, amalgama-
ton, pro-slavery, Lccompton, ground. This
tyrannic democracy is exemplifed, and ap-
propriately expressed by one word, Botefur.
Botefur is little ont of sight just now, be-
ing rather tangled in tho Bush. But j.
