Horace Greely's Present Position

In speech delivered at Ulster, New
York, the leader Of the Republican party
of that State, whose name we give above,
made a speech upon the present aspect
and necessities of politics and parties
from which we quote the following:
"Whatever might be said of The policy
Of excluding slave State, he thought
that they would never be able to exclude
slave State on the ground of its being a
slave State. When community is form
ed, and with slavery, and, says, we pro.
pose 10 come into the Union as a State,
they would not be able 10 60 behind her
own action, or interfere with her sover-
eighty, so far as to prevent her coming
into the Union with slavery, SO long as
she was republican in form. He stated
this, not as bis opinion but as deduc-
ton from history. For instance, suppose
Cuba should come into the Union, land
he did not desire that she should he de-
sired that she should not, and had form
ed State government, they never would
be able TO keep her out because she was
a slave Stale.
"Another point. He thought that ex-
perence had settled the matter, whatever
we might say of popular sovereignty Oh
of the rights Of the people, that the prin.
ciple obliquely laid down in the Cincin.
natl Platform and more deliberately ex.
pressed in the Presidents Message, tina
the appropriate time for a State to decide
for herself when she will have or wher
she will not have slavery, is when she
comes 10 ask admission into the Union
was practically settled. He did not say
he would not like 10 have it Otherwise
but it was SO very difficult to determine
when Territories should decide This ques
ton for themselves. that he saw no othel
course of action :han to say that wher
they come 10 frame State government
they shall decide for themselves whelhel
they will have slave State or a fire.,

For the True American


Lines written during visit to Hopedale
atthe Teachers Institute, August 25th
1858:
! know vale where kindness flows,
A deep and silent stream -
The stranger drinks, his bosom glo We
And sings joyous hymn;
For plenty smiles upon its breast
And with her greeting hand
She gives assurances the best;
You're in a Christian land.
Does disappointment cross your road
And doubts your heart assail,
And darkness leave u heavy load
Which makes your spirits wall.
To Hopedale go soul cheering place,
And light ofjoy shall come;
And you shall feel the social grace
All comforting like home.
Here pride scarce lifts her sickly head
By avarice unfed
And noisy ostentatior's dead z,
For want Of falsehoods aid.
But knowledge here delighted grow
Beside so rich q stream;
And lovely truth forever glows
Beneath true wisdom's beam. ~.
If words have an internal light,
A beauty they convey -
A power to guide the mind Alright
| In learning's beauteous way;
When Eloquence, these symbols, joins,
BY Grammar's noble art,
Each sentence gives immortal coins
A treasure for our heart.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

For the rapid cure OF Coughs, Colds,
HOurseness, Bronchitis, Whoopng- Cough,
Asthma and Consumption, is universally
known as the best remedy ever yet discov
cred for every variety of Pulmonary disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and
so numerous the cases of its cures, that
almost every section ofthe country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been
restored from alarming and even desperate
diseases of the lungs by its use. When
once tried its superiority over every other
medicine of its kind is too apparent to es-
cape observation, and where its virtues
are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote to employ for the distressing
and dangerous affections of the pulmonary
organs which are incident to our climate.
By its timely use many, nay almost all
attacks Of disease upon the Lungs or throat
are arrested and thus are saved many
thousands every year from q premature
grave. No family should be without it,
and those who do neglect to provide them
selves with remedy which wards off this
dangerous class of diseases will have cause
to deplore it when it is too late. Proofs
of the surprising efficacy of the Cherry
Pectoral need not be given to the Ameri-
can people-they have living proofs in
every neighborhood. But those who wish
to read the statements of those whose
whole health has been restored and whose
lives have been saved by its use, will find
them in my American Almanac which the
agent below named has to furnish gratis
for every one.

GR There is trouble already about the
management of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company. Ii is not likely that Cyrus
W. Field would have resigned his posi-
ton as Director of that Company in con-
sequence OF his i'll health, if there had
not been something objectionable in the
style Of managing the business. The
Boston Journal is bitter on the British
electricians at Trinity Bay. 1t says:
'"They seem to be an arrogate self con.
ceited, self opnioned clique with the gen.
uine old fashioned John Bull prejudices
against Yankees and Yankee inventions.
But while British electricians are tam
pering with the cable, and laundering
with inefficient instruments, American
science demands more unrestricted field
for the exercise Of its powers, and Amer
lean interests call for more Independent
line of telegraph to the old world. We
want telegraph which shall be wholly
under our own control, and which our
government can use with q conviction
that its communications are inviolable.
and that it will not be turned against us
in case Of war"
The Travellsr also assails the English
electricians. 1t says: AR5
"There conduct is just like that which
has attended all their movements since
the cable was landed and placed in theil
charge. They may be, and undoubtedly
are, scientific men in their line Of bushes
but evidently belong to that class by fal
too common in society. whose arrogance
and superciIliousness render them Of littlt
esteem in the world, outside Of their owl
mutual admiration circle. Peu

The Habitual use of Spirits.

The British Foreign Medco Chrurgcal
Review shows that the habitual use of
spirits arrests that metamorphosis of lis
sue which is necessary to health, leaving
the effete tissue as a useless burden to The
body, to be converted into that least vital
lied Of all the organic constituents, oil and
fat, till finally life itself is clogged at the
fountain head. Thousands of men. accor-
ding 10 the Review, who have never been
inebriated, annually perish, having short-
ened their lives bye lippling little every
day. The dram arrests the metamorpho-
sis of tissue; another dram is taken before
the arrest ceases; the reaction thus post.
poned, becomes more intense; the depres-
sion is excessive; more dranns are taken;
and so, in the end, without ever becom-
ing intoxicated, the tippler sinks into his
grave a victim Of ardent spirits. II is
different with the man who drinks wine,
it is rarely used except at meals, and the
effects have time to pass awsy before a
second dose becomes due, and hence no
craving for an increased quantity is ex
perieiced. Men are now living in robust
old age in consequence Of having taken
the same Identical number of glasses Of
wine daily for half century without feel
ing it necessary to increase the quantity.
