the liquor shops within that limit, were found to
operate favorably. Intoxicating drinks were
imbibed, however, in fearful quantities, as can

The Administration do not intend to abandon
the fight against Douglas, as has been alleged.
They claim three members of the State Senate
among the number IF those holding over, who
are sufficient to prevent the election, if that pol
icy should now be adopted. This trio is said
to be resolutely anti Douglas, though classified
in the general count as democrats" There
are power and patronage enough here to com
pass this object, undoubtedly, for such "moral
suasion is far more practicable upon a few
selfish members of Legislature than upon the
masses of the people. The only question that
will be considered is, will such step be injuri-
Gus or beneficial to the future interests of the
man against whom it is proposed to be taken
If decided in favor of the former the means can
readily be found to attain the end. Nothing is
easier. The examples of recantation in Con-
gress, after the most solemn pledges, bear wit
ness how open to conviction are the consciences
of Democratic politicians, when tempted with
sufficient inducement.

SENATOR sRwARr,s SPEECH.

Of all the contemplate methods of misrep-
resentation in which some men indulge, the
most despicable is the practice of quoting q
passage so separated from the context as to
make it appear that the VIZ ter or speaker has
said what be did not say. i not unfrequently
happens that sentence even is broken, and
some single clause of it quoted in order to wing
a falsehood. Any one who could be guilty Vi
such an act deserves to be Iilloried. He Justly
sinks himself beneath the yotice of an honest
man. Senator Seward is just now suffering
somewhat in this way, through the misrepre-
sentation of one or two venal and partisan
sheets, whose statements are copied by other
papers, who may believe thbm TO be true. Mr..
Seward, in his Rochester speech on last Mon
day, made the following reIaark:
On the other hand, While do confidently
believe and hope that my country will yet be-
come a. land of universal Fl eedom, / do not ex-
pect that it will be made so otherwise than
through the action of the s, veral States, coop
Grating with the Federal Government, and all
acting in strict conformity yith their respective
This extract of itself shows how far Mr. Sew
ard was from indulging in the Abolition TRADE
and reasonable sentiments Shat some have been
prompt to attribute to him. Where is the trea-
son contained in that parag aph? The speaker
had just before expressed his conviction that
slave labor and free labor are SO opposed to
each other that they cannot forever continue to
exist under one Government. A struggle be-
tween the two has been going on, silently or
openly, ever since the forms ton of the Govern
ment and one or the otIer must ultimately
triumph. Senator Seward believes that free
labor is destined to achiew, that triumph, and
he has good grounds for his opinion. 1t is
only contemplate journals, like the Missouri
Republican, that descend p the low falsity OF
separating parts of sentences, and commenting
on those alone, in order tc make plausible
show of objection to such belief-&. Louis

The National Era is about to enter upon its
Thirteenth volume.
/ Twelve years ago, when the Discussion oil
the Question of Slavery was practically pro-
hibited IN this District, the Era was commenced
for the purpose OF asserting and defending the
Rights OF Discussion, and of giving fair ex-
preston to AntiSlavery Sentiments. la the
House of Representatives, John Quincy Adams
and Joshua r. Giddings alone gave il moral
support in the Senate, it found not a single
well wisher; while outside OF Congress it stood
here, solitary and unsustained, under ban and
menace A conflict followed in which an excited
populace undertook to suppress it by violence,
but it resisted the storm, maintained its posi-
ton, and from that hour the Liberty of the
Press was established in the District of Co
lumbia. If. 90
Twelve years have passed, and to day, the
Era finds twenty among the most distinguished
members of the Senate, elected TO carry out the
Principles it was instituted to advocate, and
the House almost controlled by Representatives,
with whom it can consistently and heartily act
as a cO-worker.
While the cause it has advocated has ad-
vanced so rapidly, am constrained to say that
the Era, since the advent Of the Republican
Party, has suffered somewhat in its circulation.

extensive Local Press, unfolding kindred SEN

This was to be expected, but still think
there are good reasons why the Era should

of the Republic. For twelve years it has been

Professor Scheitzer, of Zurich, has discovered
that various textile substances can be dissolved
in solution of sulphate of copper into which an
excess of ammonia has been poured. In this
solution cotton becomes sticky like gum, and at
length disappears. The liquid being filtered,
and treated with an excess of hydrochloric acid,
the cotton is precipitated under the from of a
substance resembling the hydrate of alumna.
Silk and wool will also dissolve, but the latter
only by the aid of heat.

A letter in the New York Herald, dated Fort
Clark, Texas, thus refers to a thriving German
settlement:
Some thirty miles from San Antonio is To-
Gated the hourishing German village of New
Braumfels, an oasis of thrift and industry amidst
dSsert of genuine Texan laziness. The
main street of the village is very wide, and
lined on either side by neat painted cottages,
with tasty grass plots and flower gardens in
front, Here you find an excellent hotel, a
bakery some fine stores, and no less than ten
wagon factories These German settlements
abound in educated neutrality-suspicious., Poles,
and even Austrians, rivalling the Germans
themselves in education and refnement-al or
nearly all, exies from the fatherland, on &C.
count of their political opinions. As have re-
marked in previous letter. these Germans are
doing for Texas great work of civilization,
gradually convincing the people of that State
that industry and economy carry wealth and
prosperity along with them, and form the sure
foundation of powerful and influential COM
munity."
