- The appointment Of Ike Cook
as Postmaster at Chicago, and remov-
ing Price, Douglasite, came up for con-
firmation in the Senate on the LIST, and
was warmly debated for two hours
During the discussion, Douglas is re-
ported to have declared on his word of
honor, that Cook was personally and
politically dishonest, and a man of nei-
Their reliability nor character for any
position under the Government. Previ-
Gus to two years ago, Douglas and
Cook were fast and intimate friends
both feathered one nest, and slept to-
gether,-so they must know each 9th
er's character perfectly. But it is no.
table fact that all the while Douglas
know Cook to be ''personally and po-
litically dishonest" Cook was appoint
ed to the Chicago post office as his
friend, and retained in it by Pierce as
such. The Senator's own statement
tells hard against his own recommend
atoms and associations.-Ike Cook,
Postmaster at Chicago, and James Cor
don Bennett, Minister to Austria =
What eminently fit appointments to be
made by Buchanan administration.

MEAT MARKET.-Our citizens will be
glad to learn that a meat market is soon
to be opened at the old hardware store

that he will be literally sustained, if be

to be taken in contravention Of the de-
liberate opinions of the most enlight-
ened sages?
The motives of the Southerners in
this last brilliant movement are obvi-
Gus. The North, free from the Bill ht-
ing effects of Slavery, has outstripped
them in material wealth and prosperity,
and they now stand superior to them in
everything that constitutes a free and
enlightened people. The South is con-
scious that there is, and ever will be, a
war Of determination waged upon their
peculiar institution. It cannot be 9TH
erwise in the nature Of things. Thus it
is, and thus it should be. An innate in
dolence, a false pride and a grasping
avarice, forbid them to yield to what
they know to be right; and they have
sworn to perpetuate the institution of
slavery, even at the expense of human
ity and justice.
Yet avarice is the prevailing and pre-
ponderatlng motive. 1t is conclusivelv
shown by the article to which we refer,
that the profits Of this barter in human
flesh are enormous. 1t is there stated
with the greatest "s0aay .troid," and
proved by a mathematical demonstra-
ton, that the net profits Of one voyage
would, at moderate estimate, amount
to the neat little sum of s2OO,OOO!
The editor concludes by thoroughly
committing himself and his coadjutors
in crime, in the following language:
"Where the profits are so exhorbi-
tant, we can well understand why the
business has been begun in the South.
We can well understand the impossi-
bility Of closing the trade now begun,
and most of all, we now can understand
that the great question is not whether
there shall be for the South supply of
African labor, because that is now set
tied, and the great and absorbing ques-
ton is, whether, according to Hughes
method, the supply shall be SO modified
as to be legitimate, fair, regular and
equal"
The method referred to is Labor
immigration Movement" designed to
equalize the supply Of slaves, and to
give to each Of the slave States its le-
ultimate share of human s'chattels.'
We are astonished that such brazen-
faced villains can be permitted to exist
upon the face of the earth. But let
there be no more compromising with
tyranny. We should meet it upon its
own grounds, and defeat it there. 1t
matters not that they have got weak
and imbecile administration that they
can control at pleasure. If one portion
of this Union are unwilling to remain
within its pale, and be governed by the
dictates Of universal justice, let them
go; and if they will not go, but persist
in fostering and nourishing a serpent in
tho heart of tho nation, let oursolvoe
throw off the incubus that is drag
upon our national prosperity. Better
to cut loose from its bonds than to sub
NIT to such degrading tyranny; better
to dissolve in strife than to suffer such
humiliation, and endure

ST. PATR1cK's DAY.-It has just oc-
Cured to us that our paper issues, this
week, on the anniversary of a very inn
portant occasion. This day some gears
ago, St. Patrick, the patron saint of the
Emerald ISLE" was ushered into the
world. 1t was indeed momentous
day for the sons of Erin. Upon that
day the light Of heaven first dawned on
the astonished vision Of the man whose
efforts in behalf of suffering humanity
were to eXterminate on the soil of Ire
land those monsters of nature that are
a blot on her fair face. On that dav
began the glorious work of the purit-
cation Of the boys. From that time,
Paddy was no more to be shocked by
the sight of hidcous monsters and Shiny
reptiles; no more to be terrified by the
hiss of angry serpents; no more to lis
ten to the midnight music of the bull
frogs, and no longer to be pestered by
the countless troublesome creatures
that infest less favored climes, and prey
upon unhappy man. Henceforth he
was to live in peace and prosperity, and
drink his grog, and flourish his "shilla-
lah" in perfect security. Let every true
PATHFINDER remember with respect and
reverence his benefactor, and drink a
social "glass O whiskey' to his memo
ry, but refrain from repeating this GER
emory during the year.

THE DRoUGHT IN MARTLAND.-There is
a general complaint in This State of the
want of rain. Phe Marlboro Advocate
says:
At least one half Of the growing tobac
CO crop consists of small underling plants
which can never get t. the house. and The
remaining portion is sickIy and spindling
for the want of rain. The corn crop too.
is sufferin. severely. and full crop can
not be made. Our must experienced
planters think that it is too late for much
improvement in tobaccn. no matter how
reasonable the weather may become.
The Somerset Union also says:
We are suffering severely from drought.
The corn crop must be materially short
ened. and vegetation of every kind looks
parched. Unless we have rain shortly the
stock in many parts of our county must
suffer for water. Our farmers-or those
who have not already tiuished-are bus
lily engaged thrashing out wheat and oats.
The hum of thrashing machines may be
heard in every quarter but we under
stand that the yield of both these crops
is very poor.
