/ We believe in Calhoun living, and in
Webster and Clay dead.
We believe the Declaration of Indepen-
dence self-evident lie, for niggers have no
rights that Democrat is bound to respect;
and Adam and Eve we're alone "created'Ss
equal, and all the rest of mankind are born.
We believe that mechanics and laborers"
are the ''mudsills of society," only fit to be
regarded as the capital of the rich"
We believe in ''Squatter Sovereignty" du-
ring a Presidential election, but after the

come partner of the Union, unless she
have 93, 900 Inhabitants s lslz5Esi
We believe Buchanan and Douglas De-
mocracy is as old as Noah's Ark. fsF.is.e
We believe in hard money generally, with
an occasional issue of treasury rags, which
ought not under any ordinary condition of
government to exceed forty millions per
year.
We believe to the ''vietors belong the
spoils, - and if there be more victors than
spoils, spoils should be made TO order.
We believe Jefferson was asupersnnuated
old fool, and that Republicanism which takes
its roots from him is ''6lack''
We believe that this is a great country,
but South Carolina is greater.
We believe. in a National party if it in
cludes the South, and leaves out the North.
We believe in the great principle of fsvo-
ting early and often," for if one vote be
good, then TWO are better.
We believe in the estimable right of Dem
ocrats, when on a stump, to change their
principles with the degrees Of latitude and
longitude.
We believe the history of political parties
establishes the fact that there is no cohe-
siveness equal to tie cohesiveness of public
plunder. fta
We believe there are no principles so dear
to the thousands ofofice- keepers that swarm
the hosts of Democratic Israel, as the Eve
loaves and two fishes. ie.H a.lhaa
We believe in the missionary enterprise
of Walker and his followers, and secretly
enjoin all TO pray for its success.
We believe Kansas needs another Cover
nor, or, she will soon commence bleeding,
and no physician will be found 20 staunch

We believe Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and LosOa are. ''outside the pale of healthy
organization,'' y and we humbly pray the Pres
ident to appoint a fast day that they may re-
turn to the true faith, the mighty faith of
the President. ~ui aHJf Gla5T ~
Finally, we believe Democracy, Whisky,
and Niggers, are one and indiyisible. Uni
ted they viii stand, divided they must fall.

RICHARD RANnoLPH.-A cousin of John
Randolph, of Roanoke, died in Greene coun-
ty, o., on the 31st of January. The de-
ceased, who was as eccentric as his more
celebrated cousin, was an old bachelor, and
had resided on the Randolph tract, Ohio, for
twenty-five years. He leaves property,
mostly in land, valued at $50. Goo, to be
expended in the purchase and freedom of the
slaves now owned in the Randolph family,
and those, with their ofsprings, formerly
owned by the Randolph family, which slaves
are to be set free; and if the estate is not
exhausted In this purchase, the balance to
be applied to the use and benefit of said

CAPITAL Sermon.

A writer in the Sierra (Cal.l Citizen, un-
der the title of Young Men and Tree
Frogs gives better lecture on morality
and better essay on mental philosophy. all
in a few lines, than are sometimes found in
as many volumes of standard authority:
1.-THE tree-frog acquires the color of what
ever it adheres To for short time. If it
be found on the oak, it viii be the color of
that tree; if on the sycamore or cypress, 1t
will be whitish brown; and when it is
found on the growing corn, it is sure to be
green. Just so it is with young men; their
companions tell US what their characters
are; if they associate with the vulgar, the
licentious and the profane, then their hearts
are already stained with their guilt and
shame. and they will themselves become
alike vicious. The study of bad books, or
the love of wicked companions, is the broad
est and most certain road to ruin that a
young man can travel, and a few well dl-
rected lessons in either will lead them on
step by step to the gate of destruction
Our moral and physical laws show how i'm
portant it is to have proper associations of
every kind, especially in youth. How dan
gerous it is to gaze on picture or scene
that pollutes the imagination or blunts the
moral perceptions, or has a tendency TO
deaden sense of our duty to God and man. !"

WHOLE No. 66.
New Idea.


Tie st. Louis Democrat has started new
project for opening up to travel, trade and
settlement the interior of our far Western
Territory, and especially the newly discoy-
cred gold placers about Pixies Peak. There
are number of large streams which rise in
the Rocky Mountains, and which unite TO
form the Platte, the Kansas and the Arkan-
sas, three rivers which, if estimated by their
length alone, enough to be reckonedl in the
first class. But at present they are of very
little use for navigation, being too shallow,
for large portion of the year, even in their
lower portions, to float even the lightest draft
steamboats,. 1t viii be seen by inspecting
the map, that the several branches of these
rivers run nearly parallel, and at no great
distance one from another. Thus, the South
Platte is separated by only a narrow divide
Ito borrow the phraseoiogy of the plains
from the Republican, or Northern Fork of
the Kansas, while the Arkansas is similarly
situated with regard tothe Smoky. or South
ern Fork of the river. These divides are not
only narrow, but of a formation easily work
ed, and nowhere of any great elevation, and
form the general slope of the whole country.
A channel running transversely across these
divides might in that way avoid, to great
extent, the necessity of deep cuttings. So
swift are the currents that even a small cut
would soon work out for itself sufficient
channel to effect complete transfer of one
stream into the other. 1t is upon these ge-
ographical facts that the scheme of the Dem
ocrdt is based. 1t proposes to turn the wa
ters of the South Platte into the North Fork
of the Kansas, and those of the Arkansas
into the South Fork of the same river, thus
finally uniting the waters of the three rivers
into one channel, and rendering the main
Kansas, as far as Fort Riley. navigable all
the year, and, for the greater part of it, the
two branches almost to the Rocky Noun
tains. t.,.9- .r ia 4 tt .s..
There seems, however, to be one objec
ton to this scheme, which the Democrat has
not taken into account. The shallowness
of the Platte, Kansas and Arkansas, is much
more owing to the rapid descent of the chan
nels of those streams, than to the want of
a suficiency of water to fill them at an or
dinary level. Give to the Ohio or Upper
Mississippi, the same rapidity of current,
and the water would run off so fast as great
ly to impair if not entirely to destroy their
nayigabihty. Suppose the new river made,
we should greatly fear that its volume of wa
ter in the Spring and early Summer would
produce current too rapid for any steam
boat to stem, while in the larger part of the
year, even were the three rivers united, the
waters would still run off. too fast to have a
navigable channel-N T. I1ibune. yr

Suspicion. and Confidence.

John De Witt, the eminent Dutch states-
man, said to Sir VIM. Temple that che had
been very suspicious when he first entered
on the administration of public affairs, but
he had been so often deceived by it that he
had cured himself of that quality" The
boys at Rugby used to say, ''It's no use to
lie to Arnold, for he believes every word
you say" Yet few men of their day had
higher reputation for sagacisy and pene-
tration into character; few men were more
seldom deceived than De Witt and Arnold.
The statesman and educator, each of the
highest eminence in his own sphere, acted
in this manner from reflection and obsefv-
alton of mankind. We must never put our
selves in the power of others to such an ex-
tent as to endanger our own independence
or tranquility. Charity never requires this.
Wisdom never permits It. But generous
confidence in dealing with men is doubtless
nous policy. 1t often inspires the truth
and fairness which it supposes. Whereas
a suspicious demeanor causes not unfre-
quently the very aggression and wrong
dealing which it apprehends and implies
Just as man provokes an attack by throw
ing himself into posture of defence
And at the worst, generous heart would
rather suffer occasionally from the wrongs
and deceptions of others, than endure the
perpetual torture of its own suspicious
The moral effect of a suspicious habit on
ones own heart would induce him, in the
language of the great Hollander, to 'tcure
himself of that quality" Let the flowers
of hope and joy open under the genial
beams of confidence. They viii. alas, be
sometimes nipped by The frosts of treach-
cry and iDgratitude. But even that is bet
ter than to have them forever blighted by
the deadly shadow of suspicion. 3assslfa

A newspaper editor must, like the poet,

sons are able to write ''leaders, . or .'litera-
~ articles,'i for newspaper few can be en-
trusted with its editorial control, few can

The coming Billiard match.

The New York Correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says: ''
"The public interest respecting the ap-
preaching great BILLIARD match between
Michael Phelan, of this city, and John See
reiter, of Detroit, is constantly increasing.
When the announcement of the match was
first made, bet was offered at Lafayette
Hall of 500 to $50 on Phelan. Now the
Detroit people are Offering 800 to $75 on
Seereiter. Phelan is not now in good con-
dition, and his adversary knows it. He is,
and has been for some time, suffering from
rheumatism in the shoulders. AS soop as
the match was made he placed himself un-
der the care of physician, and taking up
his abode at quiet retreat near Harlem, he
will prepare himself for the great event as
if he were in for prize fight.
Seereiter, the Detroit player, is said to be
in capital order Since his match with
Barney Chrystal, which he won, he has
been practicing and laboring to arrive at
that state of perfection in the game so as to
beat Phelan. If his friends are to be be-
lieyed, he has lately made some extraordi-
nary displays of science and skill. In the
carom game, he is said to have made run
at one time of 40 points, and another, 18O.
Phelan frankly admits that he never did
anything like this. His highest run at ca
roms, as he tells me himself, was points.
If Phelan only gets rid of his rheumatism,
he does not care how many points his aG-
versary has run, but he will endeayor to
make just few more than he does make
in the match game for S5,O 600. -f'-i9f'
AS yet there is very little betting on the
result. All the players in this city will go
their piles on Mike, if he is only in good
condition, and no doubt they viii offer odds;
for he is in billiards what Morphy is in
chess-tnyincible. IF what hear is true,
the denizens of Detroit have similar un-
doubted faith in their player" a rraa

American Locomotives triumphant

American Locomotives Triumphant.
Two years ago, two splendid locomotives,
called the "Cairo'' and the ''Suez," were
manufactured at the works of Messrs. Will
son, Mason d Co., in this city, for the Al
exandria and Suez Railroad in Egypt. The
Pasha, who is President, Director, stock
holder aud something else of his own road,
also ordered two engines of English con-
struction, and Yankee and English engin
neers went out to run their respective ma
chimes. The rivalry has not been trif1ing,
but the result is another triumph for Jona-
than. The English engineers, through their
Consul, undertook to fiatter their patrons,
and to disparage Yankee workmanship, and
tried every method to get rid of their com
petitOrs. At first they were successful
The Americans were told by the railway
company that their engines were not going
to be used, and that their services would
not be needed. The excuse for hauling
them up was that they were not strong
enough to haul the heavy trains. One of
the American engineers getting an opportu-
nifty to speak. with the Pasha, told him he
could haul as many loaded cars as would
reach from one end of the road to the 9TH
er. Accordingly seventy-fve heavily load
ed cars (Which was all they could muster)
were put into the train-the Pasha's own
car attached-and the whole taken through
TO Suez, distance of two hundred miles.
