THE HON E J0U RNAI
'Pledged to no party's arbitrary sway,
We follow truth whcrecr she leads the way"

In the course of very sensible and
well-written editorial in relation to the
Bankrupt Bill lately introduced into
Congress, by Mr.. Toombs, the Nash
vile Union g. american has the fol-
lowing excellent hit at the injustice of
such law. 1t suits our views pre-
cisely and had we more space, the
whole article should be published:
"The whole thing is to encourage and
relieve rascaIs at the expense OF honest
people. AL that a man has 10 do under
such law is to consume his property
gamble i, away-waste it in vice, prodi
yality, extravaganza or reckless specula.
tion, for the law can make no distinction
between the vicious and the unfortunate
and then go into court, surrender the
drugs if there is anything left, and sur.
render nothing if there is nothing left;
and then walk out discharged OF all his
debts by virtue Of an act Of Congress,
and without the consent Of "a single cred.
itor, many Of whom may be more needy
than the very man who is relieved at their
expense.
What is the basis Of cred. in our
country, where there are no hereditary es
,ates-where few arc born rich, and the
mass Of the people make their own for
tuncs7 1t is not simply property, but
more the capacity to create t-heads and
hands-and the skill and industry to ap.
ply them. YEA this is property ITSELF
What is more the property Of the law.
yer than his protest. on--of the merchant
man than his buslness-or Of the mechan.
lc than his trade? There is the property
which most often gains them credit, and
out Of which they are expected 10 make
payment. And yet the Bankrupt retains
this and is released from the credi, that
was given upon such security.
But few in comparison, Of the industr
al classes would avail themselves Of such
a law. Men who make their money hon
estly seldom pay their debts dishonesty,
and seldom have occasion to. Men who
are content with the simple wages Of their
industry and a gradual accumulation Of
wealth, seldom &c. in debt beyond what
they are able to pay. 1t is generally
those who, unsatisfied with quiet con.
science and competency, take the chan.
ces Of uncertain speculaions with the
hope Of speedy fortune off Of other PEG.

we'd beyond their capacity to pay; and il
is at the expense Of the toiling producers
upon whom they prey, that relief is Civ.

BOQUETs.

The editor of the Shelbyville Elk.
positor gives us, in connection with
others, the following hard cut about
boquets. We've not word to say.
Many Of our exchanges contain mott.
ces Of boquets sent TO the editors by their
lady friends. Some of our brethren have
a glorious time nursing these beautiful and
appropriate tokens Of tender regard
Just think Of the buckets Of fresh water
necessary 10 keep them alive for a few
days! Why. the editor Of the Winches'

ing TO the sprng-he receives so many.--
Reader, did you ever have boque, and
did you know what to do with it? Out
with the truth now, and say whether it
was not in your way until you got out Of
the presence Of the donor. We love
howers-we love to look at them as they
grow-but we cannot help thinking that
all this pretty talk about boque,s is moth.
ing but downright humbuggery: Now,
don't say we speak thus because we have
been sighted in this respect, for we have
had our share of such things. But we do
not take the liberty to place a modest
friends name before several thousand
readers because he or she has shown US
such kindness, however much we appre.
ciate it.

Dramatically speaking, the colloca-

the construction that Fox, daring the
eight months he survived Pitt, did
nothing else except suroiue. Obvious

Ex-Governor Trousdale.

While we were in Nashville las
week, Gov. Trousdale passed through
to Gallatin, his home, on his return
from Rio de Janerio, after an absence
of five years. We were gratilied to
learn that he returned in improved
health, fact which we attribute to
the climate in which he has resided
since the commencement Of PIERCE
administration. We are also glad to
hear that he has saved some money in
the five years, as he is poor man.
We have looked upon him, from first
to last, as one of the most frank, hon.
est, and patriotic men in the Demo.
cratic ranks, either in Tennessee or
elsewhere. He scorns to do mean
thing, and never concealed his real
sentiments for the sake of getting
yotes.-W. G.. Brownl0D.

CRops IN SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA.
From an intelligent planter in South
western Georgia, we learn that the
crops in that section are exceedingly
pros porous, and in advance of crops
oflast year at this season. The effect
of the late frosts are scarcely visible,
and the prospects are favorable to a
large and abundant yield. Corn is
from knee to breast high, and the cotton
has been chopped over once. There
is little wheat planted worthy ofmen-
ton. The farmers are in high spirits,
in anticipation OF a large and flowing
crop.-Columbus Times. ----

The Kansas Niger Question. -'H,'

Everybody is tired ofthis subject,
and we are rcjoiced at it. Now is the
time to keep it up and tear it into tat
tiers, Agtate, agitate! Let there be
no rcpose for the subject until its life
is quite extinct. Get every man, wo-
man and child, North and South, thor
oughly Disguised with the negro ques-
ton, and then tue Union will be safe,
for that is the only question that ever
can menace its existence; and when
all shall regard the very mention Of it
with loathing, and when it is dead be-
yond resurrection, no party will at
tempt to ride into power on it. Kill it
bury it so deep and trample it down
so compactly, that we may never hear
of it again--is the devout adjuration,
or ought to be, of every friend of the
Union.--The Southern Monitor.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

Some of our readers may recollect
thrilling ballad which was written
on the death of a woman who perish
ed in the snow drifts of the Green
Mountains of Vermont. That moth.
or bore an infant on her bosom, and
when the storm waxed loud and luri-
Gus, true to a mothers love, she rent
her own garments, and wrapped them
around her babe. The morning found
her stidened corpse, but her babe
survived. That babe grew to man
hood, and became the Speaker of the
Ohio Senate. How thrilling must be
his thoughts of that mother, if he be
a true, large hearted man! How deep
a mothers love! How many moth
er is there who would die for her son,
if called in Providence to do so! Let
sons. when far away from home, on
the land or on the sea, when the eye
of no mother is upon them, remember
her love, and be restrained by it from
entering the path of vice. Let them
say nothing, do nothing. which moth
er would not approve, and they will
never bring down her grey hairs with
sorrow to the grave.
