the right Of selfgovernment to every State? A
vote OF two-thirds Of the States can change the
Constitution says Seward. And 40, in order TO
carry il out, the Constitution is to be amended,
and the South is to he deprived Of the right Of
selfgovernment.
This is the true aim OF Seward and his unseru-
pulous followers, and tomorrow the vote If the
free men Of New York is to be taken on that
question. The personal qualifications or dis
qualifications Of the candidates have nothing to
do with it. 1t behooves every man in the COM
mercial metropolis Of this great Union, and in
the Empire State of New York to look well
where such doctrines as Seward has enunciated
at Rochester will lead him in the end. Every
merchant every manufacturer every mechanic,
every laborer is deeply and personally interested
in the question And on these active classes OF
society hang all the Others and the value OF our
lands, our railroads, our ships, and everything
that we possess. Let them look to it, then.
Every vote in favor of Morgan is vote in favor
of carrying sword and fire into the South. We
ask every man the question: Are you prepared to
vote for civil war throughout the length and
breadth of this fair land? That is what you will
vote for if you vote for Morgan.

The contest in the Third Congressional district Of
this city is warmly carried on between the adher

Sickles and Hiram Walbridge. Open air meetings
were held on Saturday night when Mr.. Sickles i'm
proved the opportunity on his side by pitching

returned the compliment by showing up Mr..
Sickles. As personalities are usually pquant, and

from the canvass.

preached beautiful and impressive sermon, Of
which we supply report in another column.

LOVES DEvIoE.-The Hartford Press in par
agraphing the recent elopement of a railway
brakeman with the wife of rife maker, dis
closes the following novel way Of carrying on
a clandestine correspondence:
ssThe neighbors have noticed that it was a
very common thing for stick of wood to tall
from the train upon which this brakeman was
employed, as it passed the house where the
woman resided. 1t is said that tie husband
hearing that the wife always took particular
care to pick up the fuel, though he would ex-
anime one stick of it himself; and found that
it was the vehicle bearing note addressed 10
his wife. The woman is represented as oeing
only twenty and good looking She leaves
four children. Between her husband and her
self there have been chickering's fot year or
two. There appears to have oeen hquor IN

He was Immediately reelected to Congress,
and at once eng ged in his favorite work of
maturing, perfecting, and perpetuating the lib
critics secured by the sword. His first work
was the preparation of that celebrated address
which Congress presented to Washington when
he resigned his commission as commander-in-
chief. Next he originated our money system,
our decimal currency. AS chairman of COM
mittee on the national debt, he wrote an eab-
crate report on the finances of the confeder-
acy and the states. He was the author of
that wise and salutary plan for the government
of the Western territories, which continued
in force until the passage of the odious Kan
sas bill, with its illusive popular sovereignty.
Under Jefferson's plan the territories were
peacefully settled. and in due time admitted
into the Federal Union as sovereign states
Under the plan of our modern politicians we
are threatened with civil war.

ONWARD.

Cease this dreaming. Cease this trembling
Still unwearied struggle on!
Though thy strength should almost fail thee.
Onward is the word alone.
Dare not tarry, though the Present
Scatters roses in thy way
Though to thee, from out the ocean,
Syrens sing their Turing lay,
Onward Onward without turning,
iGainst the worlds sharp griefs contend,
Till upon thy cheeks hot burning.
Golden rays from Heaven descend.
Till thy brow the thick-leaved garland
Like halo shall surround:
Till the Spirits flame, all brightly.
Hovering per thee shall be found.
Onward. then, though all opposing,
Onward still. through Death S dark pain
He must wrestle on unyieldins
Who the bliss of Heaven would gain.

DIoGENEs.-In his old age, Diogenes was ta-
ken captive by pirates, who carried him to
Crete, and exposed him for sale as slave.
On being asked what he could do he replied
'tGovern men; sell me, therefore, to one who
wants a MASTER" Xeniades, wealthy Corin-
THAN, struck with his reply, purchased him,
and, on returning to Corinth, gave him his
liberty and consigned his children to his edu-
cation. The children were taught
to be cynics, much to their own satisfaction.
1t was during this period that the world re-
nowned interview with Alexander took place.
The prince, surprised at not seeing Diogenes
joining the crowd of his flatterers, went to see
him. He found the cynic sitting in his tub,
basking in the 81 am Alexander the
Great" said he. 81 am Diogenes, the Cy-
nc,' was the reply. Alexander then asked
him ii there was anything he could do for him.
ssYes, stand aside from between me and the
SUM-" Surprised at such Indifference to prince
ly favor-an Indifference so strikingly contras-
ted with everything he could hitherto have
witnessed-he exclaimed, ssWere not Alex
ander, | would be Diogenes 80 One day, be-
ing brought before the King, and being asked
who he was, Diogenes replied, ga spy your
cupidity;" language the boldness of which
must have gained him universal admiration,
because implying great singularity as well as
force of character.
Sngularity and insolence may be regarded
are exemplified in the anecdote of his lighting
lamp in the daytime, and peering about the
streets, as if earnestly seeking something be-
ing asked what he sought, he replied, ga
man. The point of this story is lost in the
usual version, which makes him seek ssan hon.
est man." The words in Leartius are simply,
81 seek man." Diogenes did not seek hon.
esty, he wanted 10 find man, in whom homes
ty would be included with many other quail
ties. 1t was his constant reproach to his CO.
temporaries, that they had no manhood. He
said he had never seen men; at Sparta he had
seen children; at Athens, women. One day
he called out, "approach, all men," When
some approached, he beat them back with his
club, crying, 81 called for men ye are excre-
mentS.'' e.
Thus he lived till his ninetieth year, bitter,
brutal, ostentatious, and absteinious; dsgra-
cidg the title Of ssThe Dog,' for dog has af-
fections, gratitude, sympathy, and caressing
manners,) yet growing over his unenvied vir-
tue growls over his meatless bone, for
ever snarling and swapping without occasion
an object OF universal attention, and, from
many quarters, of unfeigned admiration. One
day his friends went to see him. On arriqing
at the portico under which he was wont to
sleep, they found him still lying on the ground
wrapped in his cloak. He seemed to sleep.
They pushed aside the folds Of his cloak he
was dead.-Geo. II. Leces.

A NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The Pa
ciic Railroad project, Notwithstanding the a
mount of discussion it underwent, had become
a matter of comparative indifference not only
in consequence of the lack of a feasible plan,
but principally from the want of motive Suf-
fciently immediate and pressing for its con-
struction. But at present new element has
come into action, in connection Herewith,
which bids fair to awaken new interest in the
subject. We allude to the gold discoveries at
Frazer's river and vicinity. Emigration to
the new auriferous region, says the Brooklyn
Times, is even now going on at a rapid rate.
At St. Paul, meetings have been held to or
ganiZe an overland route, and doubtless before
long numerous companies will cross the Con-
tiuent to the ssGolden shores of the Pacific"
by the head waters of the Missouri and through
the northern passes eff the vast Rocky Noun
tain chain. San Francisco may be found to
be not the only eligible place forsthe terminus
of Pacific Railroad. The mouth of the Co
lumbia affords a capital harbor, and there are
MANY such in Oregon and the vicinity OF Van
couver's Island. The Missouri is navigable
to the Great Falls, seven hundred miles above
the mouth Of the Yellow Stone, which can
easily be reached by steamboats, in thirty days
from ST. Louis. From the Falls to the head
of navigable water on the Columbia is but a
bout two hundred miles. To open military
road across that short distance would require
but small expense and it will be easy for the
reader to perceive the facilities it would afford
to travellers along the route. Along the course
of the emigrants, settlements will spring up,
which will naturally tend to the construction
of Northern road. Certainly the building
of such road will not be delayed one day
longer than the interests of commerce, and
the demands of Anglo Saxon enterprise call
for. We shall see.

CALHOUN INDIGNANT--The last rumor ia that
the illustrious John Calhoun, of Kansss, is in
dignant at his removal from the office of Sur
veyor General, and is about to print certain
mysterious documents received from distin-
guised gentlemen in favor of the doctrine OF
popular sovereignty. 1t is stated that he will
also show that while he is supposed TO have
been the prime mover in the desertion OF Gov
ernor Walker, he has simply been used to pull
the chesntuts out of the fire.
