Hon. JOIN J. CEITTENDEN.-The fol-
lowing glowing language from Wash
ington correspondent of an exchange, is
but the echo Of the general voice:
Mr.. Crittenden's noble speech in New
York is the the theme of general admira-
ton. Crittenden is EltiDauS Romanorum
No other man in Congress at the present
time. stirs up. like him. the depths of the
human soul with his glorious appeals to
the nobler faculties of our nature. Take
Crittenden from the Senate, and you re
duee it at once to the level of an ordinary
debating society. He is the leaven which
leaveneth the whole lump. Without him
it is lumpish enough, and "barren all
barren all u May the old friends of
Henry Clay add one more claim to the
eternal gratitude of their fellow citizens
by rallying around the gallant Crittenden
in the next Presidential contest, and bear
ing him aloft on their triumphant shields
to the very portals of the Executive man
sion. Let them thus revive the memories
of the past. and give us all an opportu-
nifty to partake in one good old fashioned,
up and down fight for the Union and the
Constitution before we depart from this
wearisome world.

THAD. STEVENS MAKES llIT.--On
the principle that looming events east
their shadows before" we may expect
that the advent Of Thadleus Stevens,
from the Lancaster district in Pennsylva-
MIA. in the next Congress. will be the
source Of some little annoyance to Mr..
Buchanan in the way Of rldicule.
Mr. Stevens has been in the city for a
few days past He was in the House on
Wednesday, when the bill providing
against changing the names of vessels in
certain cases. was under consideration.
A member from New York was opposing
the bill, when Mr. Stevens remarked that
he was surprised, under the circumstan-
ces, that any man should object to so
reasonable proposition. "Why, sup
pose" continued he, "that vessel should
bear the name Of james Buchanan, who
in h--ll would go in her ? You couldn't
hire enough to risk themselves to make a
euchre party ]" the roars of laughter
which followed this volley Of wit some
what disturbed the equilibrium Of the
gentleman addressing the House. which
fact being observed by the Speaker,
brought that officers hammer down with
a vim that compelled harmony out of
chaos Washington correspondence NsW

NEW STEAMBOAT ARRANGEHEXr.-A
contract has been agreed npon between
the Hannibal & st. Joseph Railroad
Company and four gentlemen Of this City
-namely-P. L. Mclaughlin. John f.
Barrow, A. NJ. Saxton and Capt. Ker-
cheval. to put in daily line of first class
Steambo to run between St. Joseph
and Council Bluffs. in connection with
the Railroad. The service to commence
on the opening of navigation.
This is great glory for St. Joseph. and
will do everything to build up her whole
sale trade. This line should be sustained
by the merchants, by every means in their
power-such as giving decided preference
to these Railroad boats (which are to stay
in the trade all the season. over transient
boats. IF the merchants will sustain the
line, they will of course build up a trade
from the upper country, that would 9th
erwise go to points below. Snch an en-
terprise, as the above named gentlemen
have undertaken, is worthy of encourage
ment. and with the patronage Of the road
their boats will have the decided advan-
tage over outside boats to sustain them
selves. We hope, for the sake of the
city of St. Joseph. that every shipper
will patronize the new packet line. St.

Have We Democratic Party Among
Usf

The Washington States is beginning to
think we have not. It gives the following
good reasons for its doubts
In the first place will any man pretend
to affirm that Democrats are agreed upon
basis of principles In respect Of which
one among the political issues before the
country is there so much even as an APP
proach to unanimity in the ''party." Not
surely in regard to Squatter Sovereignty.
The disagreement between the President
and his Secretary of State on this subject,
is the symbol Of an equivalent difference
among the Democracy. Not in regard
to the Pacific Railroad. for here again the
chief of the Administration is at points
with his Secretary of War. and the class
of strict construction Democrats dissent
from the faith Of their less scrupulous as
sociates. Not in regard to Federal ap-
preparations for the improvement of riv-
ers and harbors, since the divisions Of the
Cabinet on this issue is likewise respon-
sible to a similar division among the mass
of the Democracy. Nor yet is there any,
thing like rnanimity in the "party" in
regard to that most important matter Of
all, the Tariff question, in respect Of which
Mr.. Buchanan afirms one belief, while
Mr.. Cobbs maintains directly the oppo-
site.
The course Of the present Democratic
Executive has been signalized by the in
discriminate ostraeism Of the surviving
office-holders of its Democratic predeces-
scr. And in respect of future promotion,
the rival factions in the party" are more
intent each on the defeat of its rival, than
on the overthrow of the common enemy.
Unless these domestic discussions be har-
monizcd by the prevalence of more fra
ternal councils, or suppressed By the pres
sure of an overshadowing peril, We are
not warranted in anticipating the cordial
cooperation of the various factions among
the 'party" in the struggle for 1860
Even the potent spell of the spoils will
not now avail to subdue the demon OF
discord among the Democracy.

GES. ScoTr FOR THE PREsIDEzcY.-
Bennett. of the New York Herald, is out
for General Scott for the Presidency in
1860. He says:
In the midst Of all party demoraliza-
ton, Reorganization and confusion. we
recognise in General Scott the proper
embodiment of the conservative septi-
ments of the great body Of the opposition
masses of the country, North and South.
He stands in that relation toward4he OPP
position which Mr. Buchanan occupies
toward the Democratic party-the most
conspicuous basis for q sound and states
manlike political organization. Each Of
these men. in his sphere. is faithful ex-
ponent Of the good and trusty public SER

LADIES OPPOSED TO ANNExATIoN.-The
Prenss of Havana publishes an address
which the ladies of Havana have resolved
to lay Eat the royal feet of Her Majesty
isabella H." in protest against the IDA
enunicated in the recent Message of the
President of the United States on the
subject of the purchase of the Island Of
Cuba. This document, which the Prem
sa introduces as,"very expressive and ell
oquent." and as "doing honor to the fair
sex of Cuba" concludes as follows -
"The ladies Of Havana are as loyal. as
Catholic, and as Spanish in December.
1858. as were their ancestors in August,
1852; that they desire to die under the
glorious flag which they saluted at their
birth and that the Island of Cuba. the
first American land discovered BY Chris
topher Columbus, shall remain to the last
united to the Grown of Spain. since her
sons are Spanish by birth and feeling"
White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1859-02-24

CuBA AND TUE WEsT.-To show the
commercial value Of Cuban annexation
to the West one single fact will suffice.
The island now consumes half million
barrels Of -four year, OF cost Of eigh-
teen dollars barrel. Not ten Thousand
barrels 90 from the States. there being a
duty of ten dollars barrel on American
-four. The annexation Of the island to
the United States would reduce the price
of -four to six or seven dollars barrel,
when we have every reason to believe the
Cubans would purchase million Of bar
rels for their use year. For this single
article they would annually pay our ag-
riculturiSts six or seven millions Of dol.
lars. In other commodities, such as
meat, butter, lard and olive oil and whis-
key, their trade would be equally large.
What an impetus such a trade would
give to our commerce and agriculture

PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TARIFF.-PeDn-
sylvania is twitted by the Washington
States, the Louisville Democrat, and 9TH
Ter squatter sovereignty journals, for being
attached to the doctrine of protection.
1t has always been Democratic doctrine
there Polk received its vote rs q better
tariff man than Henry Clay, and Mr..
Dallas lost the confidence of the people
Of the State by giving the casting vote
for the tariff of lS47. But for that vote
he would now have been President instead
of Buchanan. as he was far moro popular
twelve years since, and it has been his in
fluencc that always defeated the aspira-
tions of Buchanan's friends. and we have
our strong conviction that had he not been
absent as Minister to England in 1856,
Stephen a. Douglas would have been the
Cincinnati nominee instead of James
Buchanan.
: Pennsylvania has been gulled and fool
ed on the doctrine of protection; the
Democrats there would not believe this
when the Wings told them so, but now,
when Governor Packer, Judge Knox, Col.
Forney. and the State Rights Democrats
of the Keystone State have fallen out with
their old federal leader, the people, hear
ing the truth and accepting it, are forced
to acknowledge that they have been cheat
ed. What pretty platform Col. Har-
ney and Col. Forney will be able to con-
struct for Douglas in 1860, when the for
mer speaks of the "obsolete heresy of pro-
lection" and the latter says it is true De-
mocraey. and that Pennsylvania will in
sist upon the Jacksonian incubation that
protection issthe very essence of all tariff
legislation.-LouisviHe Journal.

WAETED.-A gentleman is preparing
to discover gold on the Nemaha River,
somewhere near the Falls. He desires to
make an arrangement with any returned
Californians who may have a small qnan-
tity of the dust about them. He wants
to employ them to proceed to the princi-
pal towns along the river, there to exbib-
it the dust, and report that they dug it at
the Nemaha mines. If any of them have
nuggets, he desires them to produce one
occasionally, to make the thing brisk.
He viii pay literally for this service. as
be expects to make a fortune out Of it.
We give notice, beforehand, that
White Cloud is the nearest place to the
contemplated mines. and the only prac-
ticable Quitting point. The gentleman
who has charge of the arrangement, has
already laid off three towns within half
a mile Of the mines, has an exclusive
ferry privilege, and has a large stock of
second hand goods for sale

RT We find the following among the
editorial items in the Falls City Broad
Axe
Efforts are being made to annex White
Cloud to Brown County. The only objec-
ton we can see is putting White Cloud
20 far from the river.
This is just as sensible an argument as
any which was urged against the annexa-
ton It's by opponents. Some of the peo-
pie Of Doniphan County feared that il
White Cloud were cut of. they would be
sthrown too near the Nebraska line! -
