THE RNALDo RNAIDNI OF THE LOBBY
tesCn, the captain of the forty thieves in the
Thirty fourth Congress, is circulating among
his constituents, with the design of procuring
denomination to Congress. This incorruptible
patriot has done so much to exalt the character
of that body that it would be great pity to
see his landable ambition frustrated. 1t was he
who shocked the vcrdant feelings of Reverdy
johnson, by communicating the intelligence
that there were score or two of men in the
House Of Representatives banded together in
solemn league and covenant not to give their
votes for any measure by which private in
terests were to be promoted, without receiving
therefor proportionate division of the spoils;
and that he, the Hassarac of the band, was the
controlling and guiding spirit of this con-
federacy of the forty thieves. Figuring in the
same conspicuous character il was he who,
during the same Congress, advised the agents Of
the "free wool" movement to appropriate
$4,000 for the use of the republican organs,
besides distinguishing himself by other acts of q
like nature too numerous to mention.
Now, it would be quite refreshing if this
most worthy aspirant for fresh Congressional
honors should gain his object in procuring the
nomination from his party, and if there should
result regular old fashioned stump canvass
throughout his district. The voters of Utica
would then have an opportunity of becoming
minutely acquainted with the signal merits of the
Rinaldo Rinaldini of the lobby, and with the
various devices 10 which the band resorted to
put money in their purse and they could not
fail to be deeply impressed with sense of the
honor indirectly reflected on them through
him. By all means let Benajah get the nomina-
tion and let his people have chance Of hear
ing him and his antagonist on the stump The
exposures will be rich, and the contest most

MARK THEM.

The American Missionary Assocla-
ton held its annual meeting recently
in Worcester, Mass. Delegates
from various parts Of the country
were in attendance, and the anti
slavery sentiment seemed rampant
overshadowing the religious or, IN
other words, absorbing it. The fol-
lowing paragraph closes an account
of its proceedings. 1t might be
we'll for Messrs. WORTH and FEE to
con6ne their labors of love to the
free negroes of the North. Men
of their stamp should be noticed
Let the South be On then guard
against all such. The Macon Jour
nal quotes:
"The evening session was devo-
led to remarks from missionaries
and others employed in various for
eign and home fields. Rev. Mr.
Worth, of North Carolina, gave an
interesting account of bis labogs
in that State, and read a portion Of
a sermon, lately preached, for the
purpose of Illustrating the plalnness
of speech in regard to the subject
of slavery, which could be safely
used in some portions of the South
Rev. Mr.. Fee bore testimony to the
same fact, as coming under his owl
observation in Kentucky, and botf

lance Of publishing and circulating
apti.slavery tracts in the South, say

About thirteen months ago bright

preferred slavery to Cincinnati free

that she was sick a good deal
and found great difference in having
q master AMI mistress to take care
of her when sick, and having to take

from Memphis, and had to run away
from Cincinnati to get back. The

Ancient Landmarks.

1t has always been a fundamental /
principle of the Democratic organiza-
ton to allow the party in each State
to select it's own candidates, free from
outside interference and dictation
from any and all quarters. The de-
mocracy of Illinois, in pursuance of
this time-honored custom, met in
Convention, endorsed the eoalse OF
Judge Douglas, and selected him as
their candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate. He is the
choice, mot ola clique of olfice-hOlders,
handful Of "bolters" nor packed
caucus, but Of an overwhelming ma
ljjority of the democratic people of H.
inois. Upon what pretexto or color
! ling Of right, then, does the Washing
|ington Union undertake to interfere
in the local elections Of Illinois, and
to dictate to the people Of that State
whom they shall support? Is it not
an impudent assumption, which may
: well startle the people, and which
should call down upon its authors
! the indignant rebuke Of the }r,ss
, everywhere? Admit, for the sake
l Of the argument, that The position o
| Douglas does not suit the pecaiial
5 views Of those who for the time bsins
J. control the Unions columns; does
that affect the right Of the Demccra

the popular will?
