and Brindle were a well matched yoke of cattle,
says the Newark .Americaa, though they differ
somewhat in color. So of BUCK and Brown.
They are of different colors and aims, but in
other respects are not so badly matched, and
Gov. Wise should consult the ends Of justice
by serving both alike. Buck, to forward his
own selfish Objects was bent on making society
'eOrss Brown on making it better. Buck vio-
lated the Constitution and the laws of Kansas;
Brown violated the Constitution and the laws
Of YiygiHiG. Buck invaded State to make
men siaves !. Brown invaded State TO make
men free Buck was determined that the peo-
pie Of Kansas should take slavery whether
they would OF no : Brown was determined that
the people Of Virginia should take freedom +;
whether they would or no. Buck was laying
up capitol for future political glory Brown
was laying up treasure beyond the reach Of
moth and rust for future immortal glory. In
short with different aims, they were both pull
ing In the same yoke, and Il Brown Is 80 swing
Il is very evident that Buck should honor the
other end OF the halter

Management under Marshal johnson.


A convention of the democracy of Cuyaho-
ga county met at Cleveland on Saturday to elect
delegates to the district and state conventions,
to appoint delegates to Charleston. CuyahOga
has been specify manipulated by the admins
tration under the management of Marshal
johnson. 1t has q national democratic press,
founded on the government offices which have
been filed with an eye single to their influence
and patronage being used for Buchanan and
against Douglas, 1t might be expected that

safe for the administration, Cuyahoga, munifci.
emily endowed with government patronage, and
all under the control of so energetic worker
as Marshal johnson, should be the faithful
one.
But the convention assembled, the county be-
ing fully represented, and the first move made
was resolution instructing the delegates to
vote for delegation to Charleston, favorable
to the nomination Of Douglas The vote on
this, taken by yeas aud nays, was 129 yeas to
10 nays. Besides there was found to be trea-
SOD in the administration household. Collector
Parks asked to be excused from voting ON the
resolution, and then was appointed delegate,
TO vote for Douglas. The Herald says
"When his detection was made manifest, Mar
shal johnson shook his fist al Parks 'd-n YOU
said the Marshal-you shall be removed,

FLOOD, Of the Democrat, in looking round
and counting the noses Of the faithful, declares
that p. NJ. HARRINGTON and Marshal JOHNSON,

is sorry aspect Of LecOmptonism, and still more
sorry when viewed iD its influence npon jour
nalism. Even JAMES BUCHANAN will find friends
in the persons of those who live upou his boun-
ty, but the test Of that friendship, by requiring
that bounty to be devoted to the support oil
Buchanan organs, is little too severe for po-
Iical fidelity as it goes in these days
A meeting with similar results, and equally
encouraging and aattering to the administra-
tion, has also been held at Painesville for Lake

NEw AMERICAN CYCLoPEDIA - The agent
for this work, g. G. CALKINs, Esq, has laid the
first volume upon our table for examination
and we have given It what attention our en-
gagements would permit. OF course, we need
not discuss the benefits of such dictionary OF
knowledge at the present. Every one, wheth-
er engaged in active pursuits or not, has fire.
quent occasion to consult some manual of uni
versal reference For the great majority of
such persons it is much more important that
this manual be full and comprehensive, than
that it shall contain extended discussions upon
learned and scientific questions.
So well established is the reputation of this
work, and its merits so universally conceded,
that we deem it superauous to say more than a
word or two in commentator of it. The scope
and design are so comprehensive, so practical
and useful, that we must infer, that every man
who desires to keep up with the knowledge of
the day, who wants to be informed upon sub
jects which, in the general walks of life in the
pursuits Of business in the social relations, or in
the privacy and retirement of the study and H.
brary, are continually suggesting themselves,
will provide himself with a copy. To that
class of people who cannot, or who are not dis
posed to,.provide themselves with large and
necessarily costly library, this work will be an
invaluable acquisition. 1t is, in truth, what it
processes to be-a popular Dictionary of Gen.
eral knowledge, and from its extent variety,
and exactness Of Information, is better adopted
to the wants Of the American people than any
similar publication heretofore issued The ed
itors have discharged their dilficult duty with
signal ability, fidelity, aud impartality for the
latter quality they are especially to be commend
ed. They have in no instance admitted any,
thing into their pages that can be offensive to
any rational being, their object being to con-
vey facts in lucid, readable style. 1t should
be added, that most of the articles of any
length are as pleasant to read as they are relia-
BILE as authorities.
The work is to be comprised in some Is vol
umes, of which are already out. The cost is
ssh cloth, or $50 in sheep.

COOKS CONFESSION. oN.-The n. Y. Tribune
publishes the confession of Cook. 1t reveals
nothing important; nor does it furnish any real
grounds for duplicating any one outside the
party actualy engaged in the outbreak. Cook
evidently wishes to put the blame on Brown, and
represents himself as an incocent youth, led
astray by more powerful minds, but he seems to
have been easily persuaded and to have taken
the most active part in first entering Virginia
aud obtaining information about the negroes
He crhages knowledge Of the II arper's Ferry
enterprise upon four ndividuals-Gerrit Smith,
Howe of Boston, now in Canada, Fred Douglas
also in Canada, aud fourth whose name has
passed from mind.
The following be gives as the conclusion Of
Browns address to his men the night before the
action:
"And now, gentlemen let me press this one
thing on your minds, you all know how dear life
is to you, and how dear your lives are to your
friends; aud in remembering that, consider that
the lives of others are as dear to them as yours
are TO you; do not, therefore, take the life of any
one ifyou can possibly avoid it; but if it is ne
cessary to take life in order to save:your own,
then make sure work Of it,"

From the New York Tribune Of Monday

Bulls HEAD-There was Tuesday at Forty
ninth street from the Erie and Hudson River
Roads, 1886 beef cattle. generally of better
quality than we have had lately. To this add
the receipts by the Harlem Road, and scattering
lots that come in Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning, probably have about 5000 head
or no material variation from last week. The
price, however, at which all the first sales of the
opening day of the market were made, was de-
cidedly better for drovers than it was at the last
market. There are very few bullocks in market
this week that will sell at over 10 cents, but if
such as are really worth lOa or II cents q
pound, as compared with those sold at lower
figures were in the yard, they would find ready
purchasers to-day. The demand this week for
good beeves at fair price, is better than for
many weeks past, but the poorest will drag at
any advance upon former rates. There was
about the usual proportion of the cattle sold
yesterday and when the market closed, drovers
felt in good spirits.
