SPEcuLATIoNs IN PATRIOTISM John
A. Washington, the present proprietor Of
MI. Vernon, has it appears, made a very good
speculation in the sale of the mansion and
the tomb Of "lather of his country" and two
hundred acres of the surrounding lands, to
the patriotic ladies Of the United States
For the property indicated they are to pay
him the sum of two hundred thousand dol
lars, or at the rate of thousand dollars an
acre. AS the adjoining estates, of the same
quality of soil, would probably not command
the average of fifty dollars an acre, nor any
thing like it, MrWashington, it will be seen,
has turned the patriotism with which his
place is, and will be forever, invested, to a
very good account.

SHALL Stout BE PARDONED!-The New
York Herald says il is understood that the
ladies' in the Western part of New York are
pelitoning the Governor for the acquiital of
Ira Stout, the convicted murderer of his
brolher-in-law, Titles. The ground of the
petition is that Stout only displayed his affec-
ton for his sister by keeping her from hus-
band whom she hated and who iIl-used her.
OF Stout's affection for his sister there
can be perhaps no question, though he dis
played it in an unusual way, namely, by
sharing her bed. But if every brother whose
sister is uuhappiy married is allowed to muir
der his brother-in-law, this will soon be a
pretty hot world to live m. 1t is generally
supposed that at least two out of every five
marriages are at some period or other very
unhappy; it will make quite difference in the
bills of mortality if the unpopular husbands
are all to be knocked on the head at this
stage Of their connubial career.
We have no doubt however, but Cover
nor King will lend friendly ear to the pc
titions of the Rochester ladies', and will, as
he has so often done already, intcrposc to
defeat the ends of Justice and to screen one
more murderer from his righteous DOOM
To act otherwise would be inconsistent with
his past career; and whatever can be said in
dsparagement of the Governor, it must be
admitted that he has exhibited a consistency
in folly and imbecility which almost rises to
the sublime.

iRAND TRIUMPH!-THE COUNTRY
AND TIE CONSTITUTION SAVED
RY THE AMERICAN PARTY.


Who would look for triumph of the Ameri-
and disaster! Who would have supposed
that the ilustrious "Sam," who has long since
been regarded as doubly defunct, and whose
funeral has been preached by every demo
cratic parson in the land, would rise from TIE
tomb ia an hour of peril to his county, throw
off the pallor and inertia Of the grave, ana
when every other hope had failed, oraveiy
throw himself in the breach and turn back the
tide of luinl Who would have supposed II!
With what supernatural virtue must his 81
oantic I,mbs he endowed. that he should thus
TalIy from the corruption of his "long home,"
and coming TO life again, achieve a victory
which his triumphant enemies and persecu-
tors were powerless to win Yet, it is even
so, and the world should stand amazed at
the spectacle. We have the very best de-
mocratic authority for all we say. To the
proofs:
A few weeks ago, the Senate's Kansas bill
was lost in the House by small majority
twas considered n triumph OF the freesoilers
over the South. The Democrats had ma
jority OF some twenty.six in that branch of
Congress, yet in looking over the list of yeas
and nays it appeared that few southern
Americans were voting against the measure.
Staightway nearly every democratic press in
the South opened the batteries of their de-
nuncation against these few Americans, and
declared TINT they alone were responsible for
the loss os the hil-the shame, the disgrace
and the treason were theirs.
Well, n few days ago n new project the
English bill, came up, and we were told that
the safety OF the South and of the constitu-
ton depended on lis passage. 1t did pass,
by the small majority of nine votes; but upon
the list OF yeas, we find recorded the names
of eight Americans. Had they voted the
other way, the bill would have been lost, the
Administration disgraced, the constitution
over thrown, the rights of the South tram
Piled upon, and the country ruined. Now who
is entitled to all the credit for the passage of
the measure? That is the question which we
desire the democratic press of the South to
answer. The Americans were solely respon-
sible when The measure of deliverance was
lost, is it not their triumph, and is not the
country solely indebted to them, and not
to the democratic party, now that il has
passed?
We call upon the Morning News, the Au-
gusta ConstiiutionaIist, the Columbus Times,
the Athens Banner, other democratic presses,
10 come forward and do the Americans JUS
tice in this latter vote, or frankly acknowl-
edge TO their readers that their denuncia.ion
of the Americans for their connection with
the Senate bill was n SANDER and wrong
