that it is high time they were showing

paid here at present are from IS to $3.50
these are the figures for immediate delivery,

most unanimous opinion that pork will not

DESERVED TRIBUTE TO SOUTHERN STATES
MEN.-The following is from the eloquent
pen of A. S. Mitchell, Esq, the accomplished
editor of the st. Louis Ners: .s1
The continued dominancJ of the Nation
! al Democratic party in. the Government of
! the United States, if fraught with no other
evil, would, in this respect at least, be ANA
! tional calamity, to-wit: That j. would os-
! tracise forever from all stations of public
rust and political leadership, many of the
i brightest and strongest intellects of the
I country. s.. f..a-.t .........f II
What can be more deplorable than that
| such an orator, patriot, and statesman as
John j. Crittenden, venerable in years and
! honorable in service, should have TO retire
| from the Senate house of the country, to
give place to some devout worshipper of rad
ical Democracy .,'--i II. -, .....,-,.- ~,
What more sad than to know that such
eminent sages as Edward Bates, of Missouri,
and VIM. c. Rives, of Virginia, have been,
for quarter of century, out of the pub
lie service, wherein they would have been
such ornaments to civilization, and such
benefactors of nations. frs sets-l 81
And, TO come down to the most recent
instance, what deeper grief can q patriot
feel than to know that the country has no
longer the steady hand, the clear head, and
the honest heart Of John Bell, of Tennes-
see, to attend the national councils and keep
the Government in the path of the fathers.
And what may be felt and said of these
men, may be said also of all the younger
and brilliant spirits of the South who fol-
4 low the political faith of the Opposition.
What is to become of Humphrey Marshall,
the astute logician, the inyincible deoater,
the profound political economist, and the
wise dapIomat2 Is he not hereafter to fill
the eye of his country, in the most eminent
stations at home. or at-the first Courts of
Europe 2 Not if the Democracy hold their
unbroken sway as now. And what is TO be
the fate of the gifted Etheridge, holding his
! present seat by a HercuIean canvass, and
Wrestling victory from dominant host2-
| And what of his able conlpeers of the Ten
nessee Opposition And what of n. Winter
Davis, of Maryland, and others like him, who
stHnd as g the last of the tribunes,'' IN that
| gallant State
Are all these men to ground their arms to
Democracy and go into lasting retirement
at the close of their present terms of Office 2
Surely so, if the national Democracy succeed
in the next Presidential campaign. But not
50, if the.stupendous Opposition hosts Of the
country shall rush en- n.asse upon the de-
moraliZed Democracy, and suppress it as
the first and greatest enemy oft the national
peace and prosperity. ,aT-4h .o2epdaR
Give us this latter result and the South
will again shine in the halls of federal leg
islation and in foreign diplomacy, in the
persons of Bell, Bates, Rives, Crittenden,
Marshall, Etheridge, and like true men; for
a crushed demagoguism and reconclled
North and South will be the first holy fruits
of the return of such men to power.
