To the Editor Of tie National Era:

because the subscribers cannot advance the
money. We want to suggest to them our plan.
We found eight of the eleven we sent YOU could
not make the change or could not furnish the
subscription price Immediately; but we pro-
ceeded upon the idea that man that honestly
wanted the Era, would not refuse to paw his
subscription the first convenience and furnish
ed the money ourself
We have not a subscriber in our county for
the Era but that is willing to pay for his read
ing and we trust that the solid men who sub
scribe for it are of this stamp. Therefore, try
your neighbors, brother agents.
We have to say, III regard to the organiza-
ton of a new party, that in our opinion the
day our present Republican platform is aban-
doned, dates the period of our certain defeat
The permanent Anti-Slavery sentiment of our
country will acquiesce in or stand upon no
platform lowering the Anti-Slavery sentiment ;
all political contests must necessarily have a
leading principle or object in view. And the
Anti-Slavery part of our platform is the nu-
cleus around which all others must center. 1t
is upon this issue that have been carried the
States controlling majority of the electoral
college. 1t has carried every free State except
Indiana, and she shows signs ofIspeedy repent
ance. We still have strong hopes that she
Will recover, By the proper application of medi
clne-the Era and other similar documents
1t should be steadily kept in view by the sd
vocates of any great reform, that great ends
are to be attained by the use of great means.
We have a case directly in point-the speedy
growth of the Know Nothing party, and its cor
responding sudden decline.
Before the leaders of the Republican party
sell it out 10 the highest bidder, we want timely
notice, that we may retire from its ranks.

AN INQUIRY.
MONMOUTH, Ill, Jan. 3 1859.
To the Editor ofthe National Era

noNMoUTH, LII, Jan. i 1917.
To the Editor Of tie National Era:
Will you please give your authority for
statement made in reference to the morality of
the people of Scotland IN a late number of the
Era | cannot lay my hand on the number
but think it was one Of the November num-
bers: The statement is, that more illegitimate
children are born in Scotland, and more whis
ky drank, than i'm any other country, or to that
effect. The first part of the statement / really
do not believe, and would therefore be obliged
to YOU for the authority on which it is made
As TO the other part, admit that far too much
whisky is drank yet this is mainly i'm the cities
and there it is not all due to the Scotch but. as
in New York and other cities, also to foreigners.
mainly Irish Another reason for the use ofso
much whisky in Scotland is, that among the
common people it is, excepting beer, almost
the only liquor drank. There is far greater va
riety in the liquors drank in ouJ- cities, so that
the quantity of any one kind may be less in pro
portion to the population than in Scottish cities
toxicating drink is used in our cities than i'm
them. f. Us.
We hasten to acquit ourselves Of all response
bility for the statement. 1t was never made
editorally, but was doubtless inserted as an
item of news. IT escaped our eye, or we should
have taken occasion to decline any endorse
ment OF it. irresponsible statements affecting
national character are very common, and often
find their way carelessly into newspapers.-Ea.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

An interesting question Of illegality is soon
to arise IN the Illinois Legislature. Mr. Norton
the Republican member from Will county. in
that State, is a native-born American citizen ::
but some years ago he removed into Canada.
and became British subject. He swore allie
glance to the Crown, and was elected n member
of the Canadian Parliament. AS the American
Government repudates the English doctrine.
"onee "a citizen, always citizen and insists
that allegiance can be thrown of, was it not
necessary for Mr.. Norton, upon returning to the
States, to take out papers Of naturalization, and
torswear his allegiance to the Queen, before he
could become an American citizen?
kinsley s. Bingham, just elected as Senator
Stuart's successor, was, until the organization
of the Republican party, leading Democrat of
the State of Michigan. While acting with that
party, he was one of the most popular members
of it, and was frequently sent to the Legislature.
No man did more to build up that party, and
he became its first candidate for Governor. He
was twice elected by an overwhelming major
ity, and was long ago looked upon as the prob
able successor of Senator Stuart.
Mr.. Forney, writing from Washington, SAYS
that Senator lverson, of Georgia, has announced
the programme of the extreme South for the
future. He is for war to the knife upon the
doctrines of the Democratic party, as eXpounded
by Judge Douglas. He would prefer the elec-
ton of Seward to the Presidency, to the election
of any man standing forth for these doctrines.
Upon Mr.. Douglas taking his seat several
Senators from the Republican side of the cham
Der came over and shook hands with him, and
SO did the Democratic Senators whose seats
were next to his but it was some time before
any Democratic Senator left his seat to go to
him. AT length, however, Mr.. Clay of Alabama
and Mr.. Davis of Mississippi went up and
greeted him.

HOUSE.

French .Spoliation Billion motion of Mr.
Stephens, of Georgia, the French spoation bill
reported from the Committee on Foreign AT
fairs at the last session of Congress, and post
poned until this day, was further postponed for
two weeks.
Steamboat BiW.-Mr. Washburne of Illinois,
gave notice that, at an early day, he should
move to go into Committee of the Whole on the
state of the Union, for the purpose Of taking
up the steamboat bill reported at the last SEES
sion of Congress- and asked to have substi
tute, which he should offer for the bill at the
proper time, printed to which no objection
was made. M
order of Business, Mr.. Phelps submitted
resolution terminating all debate on the revenue
bill in one hour after its consideration should
be resumed in Committee of the Whole; which
was agreed to.
The Rerenue BM-The House went into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, Mr.. Smith, of Tennessee, in the chair
and resumed the consideration of the bill for
the codfication of the existing revenue laws of
the United States, and for other purposes.
Mr.. Comins, of Massachusetts,, earnestly advo
Gated the passage oflthe bill. Although there
were some provisions in it that did not alto
gether meet his approval, still, if it should not
be passed by this Congress, there could be no
change III theSe laws lOr Two years 10 come, ana
the commercial interests of the country would
suffer in all their qualifications.
Mr.. Giddings, of Ohio, gave notice that, at
the proper time, he should propose an amend
nlent for the prevention of the coastwise slave
trade. and made some remarks in advocacy
thereof.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, replied to the remarks of
Mr.. Giddings, and said, when that gentleman
spoke the other day. he had laid down ideas to
which he believed the people of his own district
could not give their assent. The Democratic
party, North and South, by a solemn vote, in
the House, had declared that it was inexpedent.
The Democratic party was neither Pro-Slavery
nor Anti-Slavery, but always planted itself upon
the doctrine that Congress shall not interfere
either to establish on prohibit Slavery in the
Territories, leaving it to the people thereof to
deal with as they think proper, which was the
largest right of popular or personal liberty.
Mr.. Jones, of PENNSYLVANIA, moved that the
enacting clause of the bill be stricken OUT pend
