Honors Easy-Where is Senator
Seward?

The Albany IN. " argus in noting
the ovation received by Messrs. CritteD.
den and other members of Congress on
their way home from Washington wants
to know what has become of the great
anti slavery leader, Senator Seward
1t asks:
"But what has become of the Senator
from New York; What honors are de.
creed him ? Where are the popular dem
o%nstrations of approval What con
stituency turns out to say, We'll done
thou good and faithful servant2 Where
are the Populations from the cities p
Where the political committees?' This
is the turning point in'the destiny of Mr.
Seward, whence then this apathy of his
friends? Are they SO intent on their
own affairs as to forget his
1--WE have no right to interfere in
matters purely domestic, but it strikes
US that Mr.. Seward is as much entitled
to whatever honors are to be divided
among the routed, bafied and defeated
leaders In Congre s as any {; and that ii
is the fault of his own friends that he i:
suffered thus to make his way home in
silence and obscurity."

E JIM LANE, Of Kansas, is getting
his deserts, right and left. The Chicago
Tribune, a prominent Republican Jour-
nal, experiences a sensation of graft
tude" that it can at least speak its mind
freely of General Jim Lane, of Kansas,
and says the reason why it could never
do so before was its fear hat a "righ.
teous cause would suffer by the exposure
of a vagabond." l. admits having
known all along that Lane was a 'pesti-
lent and ~ineendiary demagauge; )" yet,
strange to say, its supposed duty to his
party sealed it's utterance. But now that
he is a murderer, and therefore DO longer
available as a leader and candidate
for the United States Senate, the Ifib
une, with an immense feeling of relief
casts him off.
The poor devil is in q bad way in these
latter days. 1t is said that his surgeon
had told Lane that amputation of hi
leg is necessary, but that he refuses t.
submit to the operation. TIE bal
struck on the feshy part of the leg
near the knee, was turned aside by tn
bone, and passed up into the thigh, wher'
it is now lodged.
We would not rejoice over the mis
fortunes of any one, but really We thinl
that the country, Kansas and the ''vag
aboud' himself, would suffer no seriou
injury if the amputation should tax
place just where the Dutchman pre-
scribed for the cure of hydrophobia ii
his dog-eJWst behind the ears"

notice 10 the Oshkosh Courier of the
2lst inst. notice of the fact that the stock
of the Phoenix Insurance Company of

per share, let me now add that a few
days after, it sold for Sl35 per share,
ard the purchaser at that price is an
official in another insurance company,
who might be supposed to be we'll posted
in the value of the stock. Since that
time it has sold for Sl40 per share, and
on the Sd inst. the asking price was
Sl45 per share. These facts show the
high estimate that is formed of tho Com
pany by those we'll capable Of forming q
correct Judgment.
There is not at this moment IN unpaid

covering more than three hundred and
fifty agencies. Can any other Company
make a similar statement, doing al
equally extensive business?

They have failed to restore the Mis-

They have failed to procure Congress
sional Intervention for or against Slavery
extension.
They have failed in everything they

Now, what do they propose to fail a
next?

A FEW QuEsr1oNs.-Now that the Re-
publican party-is about to give up the
ghost, it would be we'll to ascertain what
good it has accomplished in its career.
The Ohio Patriot, therefore, asks the fol-
lowing pertinent questions:
What good have Republicans done the
slave?
What good rave they lone the poor
white of the South?
What good have they done Kansas
What good have they done anything
or anybody
In view of their s~-rvice, should the
cause of Freedom-if there be such q
thing-bless or curse them?
Let US have an answer in plain words
and without rant.

each particular. case, as a horse jockey
does upon kis v~ictims-just as they can
/" light o'chaps.p
But we might go further than We did
the other day, aud charge that the Re-
publican leaders were not only in favor
of Negro Equality, but that they are in
favor of accomplishing their object at
the expense of the white man-of the
foreigner first, aud of the laboring por-
ton of the native born white men after
wards. An evidence of this is referred
to in the following, which we find in the
Stark Co. Democrat
THE TENDENCY OF BLACK REPUEII-
cANIsM If there is any creed held
sacred by the Black Republican party,
it is the doctrine of the equality of the
negro with the white race. In proof of
this we need only inform our readers
that the House of Representatives in
Connecticut by a vote of one hundred
and twelve to n~inety-four has passed a
bill to amend the Constitution of that
State so as to allow negroes to vote
Every Black Republican voted for it
and every Democrat against it. An
amendment was proposed by the same
committee so that it SHOULD be required
by tho State Constitution, that foreign
ers should remain iu the State twenty
one years before being allowed 20 vote.
Under the operation of such a law, the
most filthy, ragged or Ignorant fugitive
slave will be allowed to vote at once,
while the foreigner, nc odds how iutelli-
gent, must wait his twenty-one years
The schite foreigner is DISTINGUISHED
while the negro is caressed and allowed
to become a citizen at once. The same
thing has been done in Massachusetts
and other New England States. A
similar amendment has been proposed
to the Constitution of Ohio, by Mr..
Monroe of Lorain. 1t is useless for
Black Republican prints to deny this as
being one of the fundamental doctrines
of their party. 1t is in fact the only
principle upon which they are united,
aud which holds them together as a par
ty.
The whole tendency of this Republi-
can free love" of the African is, to de.
grade the white mau by clevating the
negro. It is a political scheme of a
heartless and silly a~ristocracy aided by
some honest men, who would soon dis
coverand bitterly repent of their folly
if the scheme were consummated..

Democracy.

Some writer very forcibly and justly
says that Democracy represents the great
principle of progress. 1t is onward
and upward i'll its movements. It has
a heart for action and motive for a
world. 1t constitutes the principle of
diffusion, and is to humanity what the
centrifugal force is to the revolving orbs
of the Universe. What motion is to them
Democracy is to principle. 1t is the soul
of action. 1t conforms to the providenre
of God. 1t has confidence in man and
an abiding reliance in his high destiny.
1t seeks the largest liberty, the greatest
good and the surest happiness. 1t aims
to build up the great interests of the
many to the least detriment of the few.
1t remembers the past without neglect
ing the present. 1t establishes the pres
ent without fearing to provide for the
future. 1t cares for the weak while it
permits no injustice to the strong. 1t
conquers- the oppressor and prepares the
subjects of tyranny for freedom. 1t
melts the bigot's heartsto meekness and
reconciles his mind to knowledge. 1t
dispels the clouds of ignorance and su-
perstition, and prepares the people for
-~instEaetioa and self respect. It adds
wisdom to legislation and improved judg=
ment to government. 1t favers enter
prise that yields a reward to many, and
an industry that is PERMANENT. 1t is
the pioneer of humanity; the conserrator
of nations. 1t fails only when it ceases
to be true to itself.

THE CLEVELAND
WOOL DEPOT
Established in the winter of 1854,

Has been in operation over four years, during
which. period, though its progress has been i'm
pcded by the adverse years of 1857, the practIca
bility of the plan has been clearly demonstrated.
That the house affords superior advantages to the
WOOL GROWERS OF THE WEST as a medium
FOR passing their ools into the hands of the man
ufacturer, is now no longer a question. But al
though a very large number of Wool Growers
have awaited themselves of these advantages du-
ring the last four years, yet. surprising as it may
appear to many. gu receipts have been larger from
Merchants and Wool-huyers than from Wool
growers, and this may be accounted for mainly
from the fact, that, as a class. woolgrowers have
been more ca lily Influenced and misled than the
former, by the statements of a few operators who
are wholly opposed to all efforts having for their
object the systematizing of the wool trade, orthe
enhancement ofpriccs to the producer
The past year, characterized as it has been by
the most disastrous fin nciaI embarras sments,h has
been one of the most unfortunate for negotiating
and managing sales of wool, and the fact that the
enterprise has been remarkably successful, not
w1thsta nding these disadvantages. and given al
most universal satisfa ction to consignors, should,
we think, inspire sufi cient confidence to induce
large consignmentsf from wool-growers.
To those who have been preiudiced hi ialse
rumors, and who have manifested a want of con
fdencs we have frequently made advances equal
to the price they have been offered for their wool.
Such advances, however, should not be required,
as the enterprise was started for their benefit. and
this object has been steadily kept in view and we
hope the encouragement will be such as to enable
US to continue our efforts. Indeed, wool growers,
particularly the present year, cannot afford to do
without such influence and facilities as this House
can extendto them.
This ear must be a peculiarly favorable one for
wool growers to test the merits of the TFoolDepot

who are disposed to consign to US, that they will

HoRn1BLE CASE OF MADNESS IN A
HoRsE.-On Sunday evening, MI. Bar
ney went to drive his horses into the sta
BILE, when one, that had hitherto been
very gentle, refused to enter the stable.
After running her about until he was
perfectly exhausted, he concluded to
leave her in the yard. .
About midnight the neighbors were
alarmed by an awful believing and groan-
ing, and coming to the yard where the
mare was confined, found that she had
attacked a calf in the yard, and had lit.
orally stamped it into the ground. She
had also bitten one or two COWS, taking
as much as a pound of flesh out of one
TIE men now succeeded in driving her
into the stable, when she commenced
tearing the flesh from her own fore leg
and stripped it completely off to the
pastern joint, when the owner, having
procured a gun, put an end to the crea.
ture's misery.
The owner examined the other horses
but found no marks of any biting.-Keo

The WAY THEY DO IN EGYPT.-Mr.
Williams, of the Utica Herald, in one
of his letters to his paper, says that
there is one way by which CONSUMPTION
in Egypt can be avoided: "The regula-
tions' require that the person shall have
a left eye and right foreinger. The re-
suit is, that the cunning Arab cuts off
the right hand forefnger and puts out the
left-eye. Over one third of the gre1on up
males IN Egypt are thus mutiAated. He
also states that justice is sold publicly at
The tribunals every day-and goes a beg
giug for buyers. Thus at the Cadi's
Court in Carlo, a ransom for murder cost
the modest, sum of fifty purses, or about
$500; that for putting out an eye in an
ARRAY, $3.50; the knocking out of a tooth
about $25. and so on to the end Of the
chapter. If the litigant is rich, he comes
out of the meshcs of the law swimmingly.

Quoted with marked ability and success,
this old and faithful organ of the De-
mocracy of Stark, has sold the Office to
THOMAS BEER, Esq late of Alliance
In his valedictory Mr.. McGREGoR says:
The present and prospective condition
of the great National Democracy is tru-
ly encouraging to every friend of the
doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson
Everywhere throughout our Union are
the Democracy cordially rallying to- our
standard and to the support of the able
and eminent Statesman now conducting
our National Affairs. The opposition,
heterogeneous, are divided in their coun-
ellis, and discordant in their efforts and
hence lack the confidence of the people.
On the contrary, the Democracy, united
on principle, welded to the Constitution
and the Union, relying with confidence
on the consummate ability and success
with which our National Government
conducts our complex foreign relations,
and administers our home affairs, are &C.
curing a prestige, which to mind,
~insures a continuation of Democratic
triumpbs. The vexed "Right of Search
question, SO long a National annoyance
and trouble, seems to be happily dis
posed of and forever. The Filibuster
the Utah and the vexed Kansas questions
are no longer exciting topics of dissen'
sion, but have all, likewise, been most
successfully and happily disposed Of
No Administration since the commence
ment of our government, ever accom-
plished more signal triumphs in the
same brief period. All honor to thu
true and tried statesman, James Buehan
an. The faithful Democracy of thu

tai predecessors in the Presidential
chair he will, on retiring thence, be re
warded by the approval of his own con

Mr.. BEER the successor of Mr.. Nc
