A NICE YOUNG WoMAN.-There is a
young lady editing Free Love paper in
settlement Of Free Lovers at Berlin,
Ohio, and recently she published the fol-
lowing beautiful specimen Of what she
considers justi6able conduct in a woman.
She does not believe in marriage, and
says:
"Never become slave. Never yield
to the mercenary obligations of marri-
age bond, but accept alone the truest I'M
yelling in her own soul; letting q wise
lovingness be ever the only parent power
that shall give her q child; and despite
threats, despite churches and priesthood.
despite the bowling Of the rabble. or des-
pite misrepresentation, and calumny. and
abuse, and yilli6cation, this truth will l
proclaim from my native hill tops, and
send it reverberating through the valleys
where my childhood wandered"
Well, she needn't make such q fuss
about it. There are hundreds Of women
in every city who are regular prostitutes,
and they don't rant about it half as much
as this young lady ~ who wants to be
the same as they. The only difference is,
they know they are shame and a dis
grace to their sex; but she wants to carry
on the trade, and be considered respecta-
BILE!

Mr.. Buchanan wrote a letter to Mr..
English to help him procure a nOmi-
nation in his district for reelection to
Congress. Mr.. English read that letter,
or what purpOrted to be that letter, to the
nominating convention, and it had its
effect. The editor of the New Albany
Tribune published what he said was the
substance of the letter. The New Albany
Ledger pronounces the Tribune's docu-
ment a forgery, andsbther Democratic
papers cry out against It as forgery, but
none of the Democrats, though boldly
and loudly defed, dare undertake to prove
the forgery by the publication Of the
genuine letter. They fully admit the
existence of that letter and the fact of its
having been read by English, but they
have not the courage to produce it and
let the world see what it really is. They
know, well, that, whether it does OF does
not consist of the precise words given in
the Tribune, it was such 9 letter as a
President of the United States could not,
without exposing himself to deep shame
and disgrace, write to q partizan in a
contest for Congressional nomination.
We advise all the Democratic organs
to observe q death-like silence upon the
subject of the alleged forgery until they
are prepared to let mankind see what it
was that their President actually wrote.
If the genuine letter were less Infamous
than the forgery so called, it would
have been forthcoming weeks and weeks
ago. So, if the President didn't write
exactly what the Tribune published, he
wrote what was quite as bad-probably
worse. Lou. Tour.

The PAcKETs.-The st. Joseph Ga
zette says there is general complaint in
regard to the manner in which the st.
joseph and Council Bluffs Packets have
their running time arranged. They both
leave St. Joseph on the same day, and
persons who arrive there after Tuesday
evening, to take passage up the river,
must lay over until the following Tues
day. The Gazette thinks that one boat
could do the business, under the present
arrangement. This is no doubt true
and the same opinion prevails along the
river. But the fault lies with the Wa
tOssa, and with her alone. 1t is the gen.
eral expression, along the river, that her
officers are acting very selfish and I'M
generous part. When the Mansfield en-
tered the trade, the Watossa's day for
leaving St. Joseph was in the latter part
Of the week. The Mansfield selected
Tuesday, expressly that she might not
interfere with the Watossa's arrangement.
No sooner had she done this, than the
Watossa shifted to the same day. Being
the switest runner. she keeps ahead, and
picks up most of the freight and passen-
gers; but the people along the river
ike to see fairness, and now frequently
wait for the Mansfield, when the Watos-
"a is the FIRST boat along. Should the
Mansfield change her time, the Watosss
would do the same. She acted in the
same manner towards the Dan Convers
Her object is to run the other boats out,
and monopolize the trade. Upon several
occasions, numerous passengers came to
st. Joseph on the packets from st. Louis,
with the expectation Of meeting the Wa
tossa upon her regular day; but she had
run out of her time, in order to Oppose
the Mansfield. The consequence was,
rather than remain week in st. Joseph
the passengers had to stage it to the
points above. The Watossa is a good
boat. and so is the Mansfield; but thu
way the former is acting. is an injury t.
the trade. and viii ultimately render hel
unpopular. If any boat must be censur
ed, let the one bear It that is entitled to it

AMUsING.-It is laughable 20 see the
manner in which the small fry Democra-
tic papers of the East attempt to account
for the defeat of the English Swindle.
They are unanimously of the opinion that
it was because the people of Kansas
didn't want to live under Republican rulel
They need not waste their logic in that
way. The reason the people of Kansas
trampled upon that insult, was because
they despised it, its authors, and the
whole tribe of Northern lick-spittles who
permitted themselves to be bought and
driven into its support.

ORDER IN NEW ORLEASs.-New Or
leans papers speak very eneouragingly OF
the improved condition of the city gov
eminent. The Picayune, of the 22d ult.,
says:
Eighteen days have elapsed since the
new police force, as organized under the
present Chief, has been in charge Of the
peace and order Of the city. The result
is encouraging to the public. Of late, no
outrage has been committed without the
arrest of the perpetrators, and petty Often
ders have rarely escaped.
In those quarters Of the city where the
turbulent, in former times. congregated at
night. comparative order and quiet pre-
vail.
So this is the upshOt of the victory of
the outlaws in New Orleans, several
months since. In order to get the City
Government out Of the hands of the
Americans, the Democrats organized a
Vigilance Committee, for the pretended
object of protecting the city. and almost
produced revolution, which would have
been terrible in its consequences. Their
real object was to defeat the Americans /;
and for this purpose, they gOtup a ticket
composed of Democrats, but called it the
-" Peoples ticket" Stith, the American
candidate for Mayor, was called the out
laws candidate; but notwithstanding all
that was done against him, be was elect
ed. The effect Of that outlaw victory is
now seen. Papers of all parties are COM
PEELED to admit that the city was never
more pesceable, nor better governed.
The same is the case with regard to Bal
timore and Louisville, although mobs
were raised and blood was shed, in order
to take their Governments ont of the
hands Of the Americans.

WREECHING OFF LIMBS VS.. AMPUTATION.
DIR. Maisoneuvre's new system Of avoi-
dance of amputation in cases of injured
limbs. has been presented to the Acsde-
ME de Medicine, at Paris, and is said to
have been tried in various hospitals with
success. The invention consists in the
application of machine by which the
limb is said to be torn from the socket
without pain and without loss of blood,
the patient in some cases being complete
ly restored in the course Of few days.
So says an exchange. and it is no doubt
substantially true. Even the head is
sometimes torn from its socket" with
out the slightest pain. In fact, the ope-
rations of the machine" are said to be
extremely pleasant; and associations ex-
list in various parts of Paris, similar to
Gymnastic societies, at which the men,
berS practice the truly delightful pastime
of pulling each others limbs from their
" sockets! !"

The AMERICAN CANDIDATE AT ST:
LoUIs.-The following we clip from the
St. Louis News. 1t says:
Although tho American candidate for
Congress has been beaten, his friends have
reason to congratulate both him and
themselves on the brilliant and gallant
race he has made. His vote in the county
Will be scarcely less than 5000, which is
more than his most sanguine friends clai-
med, and more than any one thought nee
essary to secure his election. Mr.. Brock
enridge deserves the unbounded respect
and admiration Of his friends. With an
almost completely diSorganized party to
rely on without an organ to sound his
praises and publish his speeches with
the damaging cry Of mo chance raised
against him from the moment he entered
the field and laboring under the serious
disadvantages involved in middle posi-
ton between two intensely hostile factions
with all these obstacles to contend
against, he has, yet, received the votes of
six thousand of the most intelligent eiti-
zens Of st. Louis county. He expended
no money in buying votes; he made no
absurd promises. such as Mr.. Barrett's
Rock Island bridge pledge he strobe no
hobby; he preached no humbug. His
personal popularity was his chief strength,
and that has suficed to secure for him a
vote greater than the strength of his party
in its palmiest days. Breckenridge is
defeated, but he is more formidable now
than before the battle. The election only
served to show his strength. Let him be
kept for future trial"
