Answer to this bright dream

THAT is true philosophy of q true woman.-
The woman who will marry you because OF your
beauty, would about as readily transfer her af-
fections to your carriage, if its varnish were
brighter or its proportion more in accordance
with the taste of her millinery.
in winning admiration, personal beauty is
not the equal of grace Of manner; and grace Of
manner is not the equal of conversational power
Indeed, Shakespear has said
The man who has tongue is no man,
If with that tongue he cannot win q woman.
But personal beauty, grace of manner and
conversational power, however much they may
get admiration, will not winlove. 1t is peculiar
gifts of character will do that and they only.

every move that is made that does not
suit them personally and individually !;
they imagine every man their foe that
does not subscribe to their plans or
yield to their leadership. They carry
their dislikes and personalities into
society, business, churches, conventions
Into everything-and their carping
always ends with threats of direful ret
ribution OF. vengeance by or from the
people upon the heads of those who are
the favorites alike of the majority of
their own party and the people. Both
and all these classes of political wealth
er-cocks, fault-fnders and carpers are
alike dishonest and yenal; self-consti-
tuted arbiters of public opinion, who
are only needed by such as are weaker
or more dishonest than themselves.
The party and the public should spurn
such men, and go back to that earlier
and those better examples, when o''l'a-
ciples were the stake, and men played
the game; when to be a partizan was
to be an honest and true believer and
exponent of its policy and economy,
and to be politician was not sugges-
tive of dishonesty, knavery, fault-fnd-
ing, untruthfulness, and all descriptions
of sel6shness and venality.

public support, or the public respect.
1T mends its Kansas atrocities by giving
out wagon contracts and sutler jobs.
1t creates an army of patronage-depen-
dants, and relies on these to sustain it.
We trust the people are not thus to
be humbugged, and though they may
buy ZIP party favorites, it will take
more money than James Buchanan can
borrow on the credit of the United
States to induce the people, the masses
to say this is all right. We believe the
result of the elections this fall in some
of the strongholds of the Democracy
will make this fact evident, by the
election of true Republicans in place OF
some of the Democratic demagogues
that now sit in the halls of Congress.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY


We last week mailed, prepaid, to
our subscribers throughout the county,
supplements to this paper containing
descriptions of the land advertised to
be sold on the 2sth of July next. We
have since learned that some of our
subscribers in the southern portion of
the county, were obliged to pay post
age on taking them from the post Office.
This happened through an oversight of
the postmaster here, who, in the hurry
of making up the mail, neglected to
mark several of the packages prepaid.
We say this much in justice to our
selves, having no doubt but that many
of our subscribers might think it strange
in having to pay postage on matter
they were entitled to receive free.
In order to avoid this heavy tax of
preparing each supplement, amounting
to quite sum in the aggregate-we
being obliged to pay three cents on
each supplement, which would consume
nearly the entire amount we receive for
advertising the lands-we have made
arrangements with the following gen.
tlemen to distribute the remainder of
the supplements:-At Cassapolis, at
the Office of G. w. Clisbee; Sumner
vile, w. L. Clyburn; Edwardsburg,
Nathan Aldrich; Pickett's Corners, M.
J. Gard; Brownsville, L. j. Garwood I;
Vandalia, G. d. Jones; Little Prairie
Bound, E. w. Dixon; Adamsville, l..
r. Reed. We will visit, during the
latter part of the week, the following
places and make the necessary arrange
ments Liberty Church, Lagrange,
Union p. o. and Newburg.- If our
subscribers in these towns will call as
above to receive their supplements
for the, next three weeks, they will be
doing us a great favor besides saving
us considerable expense

As the time approaches for holding
the next State Convention, we notice
that number of Republican papers
throughout the State are discussing
the matter, as to the time, place and
number of delegates composingthe Con-
vention. This is as it should be, as it
is but proper that the voice and wishes
of the people should be known before
the Committee act in calling the Con
vention. The Jackson Citizen pro-
poses that the Convention be held in
the city of Jackson, which we consider
a good point, as it is central and easy
of access; but so far as the place for
holding the Convention is concerned,
we do not think it will make any ma
terial difference whether Detroit, Ann
Arbor or Jackson is selected, as either
point will, no doubt, give general salts
faction. AS regards the time for hold
ing the Convention, we believe that an
early Convention-say the first or Sec
ond week in August-would best suit
the people throughout the entire State.
This will only leave little over two
months for the purpose of canvassing
the State, which we should judge was
quite short enough. AS to the number
of delegates composing the Conven-
ton, we believe with Citizen that the
number should not be less than three
delegates to each Representative in our
State Legislature. Then we should
be glad to see from five to ten, or even
more, good Republicans attending the
Convention as delegates, who would
have direct voice in the proceedings.
A large Convention always gives
better satisfaction, because the people
feel as though they had more voice in
the matter. 1t gives the people an OPP
portunity to meet each other, cultivate
a profitable acquaintance, give more
confidence in their action to the people
at home, and concentrate degree of
unity and diffuse feeling of enthusi-
asm throughout the entire State.
From the opinions that we have
heard expressed by the people here,
we are confident that an early conven-
ton, with large delegation from each
county, at any point the Committee
may select, will meet with general ap-
proval, and be fully represented from
all sections. s

from members of the order, and has
succeeded to some extent, through that
section of country, in obtaining what
he desired. AS he may accidentally
get up this way some time, we would
caution the members Of the fraternity
to beware of him, and treat the scamp
as he deserves. The Masonic Revieso

Election ON the Lecompton Constitution

ELECTION on the LecOmptOH COnSusuIlOHs
The I'd of August next has been
appointed by the Election Board OF
Kansas, as the day upon which to play
the farce of Lecompton for the third
and last time. This we consider the
best day in the whole year upon which
the election could take place, as it is
same day that the general election is
held in Missouri, and consequently the
worst time to suit the fraudulent de-
signs of the slave power. Slavery not
being so strong in Missouri but what it
needs the presence of all the border
rufians at home to prevent the State
from going Republican at the coming
election So they must either abandon
the idea of making a pilgrimage to
Kansas, to carry out the Buchanan
programme, or else turn Missouri over
to the tender mercies Of the Republi-
cans. This state of things was brought
about by the aid of Mr.. Wier, the At
torney General Of Kansas, whom Blu
chanan was about to remove, because,
like so many of the Kansas officials
before him, he was traitor to the
slave power. 1t appears that the Pres
ident in his instructions to Governor
Denver, as Chairman of the Board
which, as our readers are aware, con,
sists of two officers elected by the
people and three appointed by the
President, who have the power to APP
point the election day, canvass the
returns, and, of course, if there was a
majority of the right stamp on the
Board, to return majority for Lecomp-
ton-made the request that he would
allow no action to be taken until he
had appointed a new Attorney General
But Mr.. Wier and the other two free
State members saw the trap that the
Presidents party had unwittingly SET
for him, and they thought they would
spring it. Accordingly a majority Of
the Board called meeting to decide
upon the time of voting. Gov. Denver
was in the minority. He showed then
the Presidents direction not to fix The
time till he had removed Mr.. Wier, bu
they thought they would manage thei
affairs in their own way-as in tina
instance the English bill gave them thu
power-independent Of Presidential
dictation. So they voted to hold thu
election on the above day. This is ;
sad state of affairs for the President
scheme of making Kansas slave State
but that it is consummation devoutl,
to be wished' by the entire North, is ;
gratifying thought.

Carping and Carpers.

There are large class of people in the
world who are ever given TO fault-find-
ing, to whining, to grieving and to
carping at their superiors, or at those
they may happen to regard as their en-
emies. To meet one of this class is to
submit yourself to boring process
almost insufferable, or to incur a jeal-
ousy and enmity, that viii make you
the object of suspicion, falsehood and
Misrepresentation for all time to come.
These are general characteristics, and
we find them scattered in greater or
less plentitude, through all the relations
of life. But in no relation does the
carper so flourish and expand and de-
velope, as in the political relation.
Here this effete and self-debased genus
is perfectly at home, and here it as
sumes its widest importance and exer-
cises its most deleterious function.
1t used to be the boast of American
politics that its opponents were able
men, who relied upon argument, and
experience and truth for the success of
their economy. 1t was the privilege
of the people to decide questions OF
public policy, and express preferences
for men upon their merits. Their poll
tics and craftsmanship were synony-
nous of dignity, ability, honor and
truthfulness. Mere personal pickering,
enmity, carping, was entirely put aside
and the test confined to the question OF
principle in the issue. Those were
halcyon days in comparison to the pres
ent. Now the attempt is only made to
cover up and confound, when then ii
was to reason and decide with judg-
ment.
The present policy of the Democratic
or pro-slavery party is to find fault and
malign-to mis-interpret and misrepre.
sent-in every possible manner the po-
sition of its opponents, as we'll as to
mystify and mislead the people as to
disposition and principles. To do this, il
mustneedsresort to any and allmeans Of
accomplishing its purpose. It's, there.
fore, that we see and hear so constantly
reiterated the cry of fraud, robbery
corruption, plumber, swindle and the
like, from the pro-slavery party and
organs. There is no argument of prin-
ciples-once in while there comes a
homily on popular sovereignty, a TRADE
against bank, furry against or in
favor of some local interest," who
ever saw or heard one that quietly and
candidly sits down to discuss the mer-
its of the repeal of the Compromise,
the Kansas Nebraska Act, the Fugitive
Slave Law, or the Lecompton 'Consti-
tuition This is not their style. They
must not, for they dare not undertake
such task. They resort to inuendo,
to falsehood, to charges of corruption,
swindling and the like for it is their
only refuge. w ssa 49,
( Akin to these, are another class OF
men who are distinct from the Demo
cratic party, though their influence nee
essarily goes out towards it. These
are the dissatisfied and disappointed
harpies who hang upon the skirts Of
every successful organization. They

self.suficiency, claim to speak on all
subjects for the mass of the people,
