The JubIlatIon OF the victors.


We find the following in the New York Tribune
Of the 9TH inst and in reproducing it, take occasion
to say that we regard It as more significant thar
otherwise. When Missouri becomes thoroughly abo
ltionized, and the Aboltonists expect to accomplish
that object in few years, and Kansas, Nebraska
Minnesota, Oregon and 0ntonsgon shall be admitted
as independent, Freesoil commonweaIths into our
glorious Union," the chances are about fty to one
that the SHAREHOLDERS Of the South will have an
ciatingly delicious time of it. Now listen to the Tr
bune's notes OF triumph
Three eminent Western cities-Cincinnati. the
largest inland town Of the United States ST. Louis
the emporium OF the Far West and Dubuque the
chief city of Iowa and the busiest place on the upper
Mssissipp-held their charter elections on Monday,
Each of these is usually Democratic" in politics and
usually gives large majority on that side at each
presidential election. Yet Cincinnati has now gone
ant-Lecompton by some 5000 majority-a clean
sweep; st. Louis lin slave State) has chosen the
straightont Freesoil ticket by about 1000 while
Dubuque, usually two 10 one /" Demoeraticr has
elected peoples Ticket" over the regular "Demo-
cratic" by 50O Dubuque never before failed to swal
low anything labeled Democrat and lick her chops
for more OF the same sort" We respectfully submit
to Mr.. Buchanan that Cincinnati has given an au
thentc exposition of the Cincinnati Platform, and
that il sustans Judge Douglas to the letter.
Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri also elects
Freesoil municipal officers. and the Michigan towr
elections well several in our State have resulted
in Republican triumphs.

Nor AT HoME-The deceptive art of polite society,
in which "not at home" is employed to convey
false IMPRESSION not unfrequenty fails of its aim.
In classic history the story is told of Scipio Nasca
who was near neighbor Of Ennius, the poet and
calling one day upon Ennius he met at the gate
by the servant maid, who told him that her master
was not at home. But such was her manner, that
Scipio at once perceived that in saying she had
spoken falsely by the direction Of hes master. 1t
happened after that Ennius called upon Scipio
who, instead of sending a messenger to the door.
cried ont " he is not at home.n 70 which Ennus re-
piled, know your voice, | know you are at hOme.n
But Scpio answering, sad You are an impudent
man. believed your maid when she said You were
not at home, but you will not believe me when say
it myself.
But they who resort to this ruse in matter
thought to be trivial, not only expose themselves
to the danger of being detected in it to their mort f.
cation but also falsehoods in matters of graver mo-
ment and of thus foreting their character for vera
city. And the servants and other inmates of their
families who the bearers of these false messages
thus taught to lie not only by anoihers direction
but for their own benefit whenever the Temptation
occurs 1t may therefore be said Of this and of all
other deceptive arts that they are not only papable
violations Of the scripture rule by which speaking the
truth IS eDoned but also that they are entirely indie
fensble on the ground of expedieney.
