How TO Do T.-Ifyou want to keep tho
town from thriving, refuse to take your
home paper. Turn cold shoulder to every
young mechanic or beginner in business;
look upon every new conner with Jealous
scowl. Discourage all you can; If that
won't do, decry their work, or rather 20 a.
broad for wares of their kind, than to givo
them your money. And-dont advertise.

The Hon. John G. Kuukle addressed the
citizens of Lewisburg, Pa, on last Tuesday
evening, upon the political questions of the
day, and especially on the contest between
the slave holding aristocracy and American
Liberty. 1t was an earnest and able Re-
publican speech, in which the demands Of
Slavery were summed up as follows:
First it clamors for the enactment Of eompete code
Of laws and regulations for slavery within territories
thus ratying and einchipg by act of Congress the
Dred Scott dogmas Second that the African slave trade
shall be tolerated and reopened by removing its penalties
On fact the trade is this day carried with impunty

justly heap upon us for that execabs tre Third the

"NEvER ATTHMPT TO Ger Our OF DEBT"
We don't know what hereto had the
courage to indite the following advice with
the above head. 1t contains some good
points:
The man who owes nobody is poor,
miserable being; nobody cares contiuen-
tai "red" whether he lives or dies. He is
lean, hungry, and generally as poor and wilt
ed as were the pin feathers on Jobs turkey.
Look at our great men they are all debt
ors-owe everybody-our men Of science,
our authors, our sensation miuisters--all,
the whole Doodle of them, are deeper in
debt than Pharaoh's army were in the Red
sea. Debt ennobles man; gives him more
exalted and liberal views Of human nature
keeps him moving, especially if he never
pays rent. Nothing will cure consumption
quicker than a strong dose of debt properly
taken. To owe, is human; to pay is divine.
Therefore, till man becomes superhuman
he shouldn't attempt to emulate divinity.
The science is to get in debt to somebo-
dy enough to pay somebody else whom you
owe. BY this means you avoid getting out

paying. The greatness Of a nation inc1eas-
es with national debt Make a note of
this at ninety days.
BAD News FOR Chilly PEoPLE.-Ac-
cording to the views of distinguished as
tronomer, the earth is gradually increasing
its distance from the sun, and in the course
of six thousand years the distance will be SO
great that only an eighth of the warmth
we now enjoy will be communicated to tho
Earth from the Sun; the Earth, therefore,
will be covered with eternal ice and snow,
as we now see the plains of the North, where
the elephant formerly lived, and where
there is neither Spring nor Autumn. In
this case, We recommend rheumatic and
gouty people to lay in stock of flannels
and sec to their drawers Six thousand
years will pass away very soon, and there
is no telling how expensive flannel and
"sich" will be at the time mentioned.

Lieut.. Gurden Chaplin.

1t has afforded us much pleasure to learn
that this gentleman, the son OF our excellent
County Clerk, Charles Chaplin. esq, is ad-
vancing with sure and steady steps iii his
arduous profession. and las attracted the
marked commentator of his superior officers.
Lieut.. Chaplin was appointed a Cadet III W est
Point in Feb. lS41. on the nomination OF the
late Gov. Mcdowell. AZ that time our repre-
sentative in Congress. Graduating with
great credit in July ISL, ne was appointed
Breyet md Lieut.. of 9TH Infantry, and was
promoted to md Lieut. ou Aug. "A. lS5l.-
He was soon attached to Capt. Marcy S
expedition on the Brazos river and was
promoted TO lst Lieut. in March lSj5.--
In 1858 he was appointed Quarter-Master TO
the 9TH column of the Utah forces. respon-
sible and important position, and IN October
SO, was detailed for service as Commander
of an escort for survey of Il Northern route
to California. In the discharge Of this last
duty he has exhibited the fortitude and reso-
luton BETTING good soldier. and has re-
ceived the applause due his merits. The oil
ficer in charge of the survey thus speaks OF
him in his official report.-RocLdridg" STIR.
in closing my report in relation to this
last reconnaissance, cannot torbcar bear
ing this testimony to the zeal which Lieut..
Gurden Chaplin 9TH infantry displayed in
continuing in command Of the escort Of the
expedition when the impaired state Of his
health on the morning OF his departure from
Camp Floyd evidently made it advisable for
him to 90 on the sick list report Before
starting on the expedition | warned him OF
his imprudencc, but he said he had been de,
tailed by his Colonel for the duty, and as he
considered it compliment, he could not

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Saturday, Mr.. johnson
of Tennessee, offered resolution requesting
the President to require the heads of Depart
ments to furnish estimates for the expcndl'
lures of the Thirty-sixth Congress. On basis
not to exceed fifty millions of dollars per an.
mum, exclusive of the public debt and the
interest thereon and referring that part Of
the Presidents message recommending econ
omy to the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Gwin moved to amend by referring to
!. select committee of seven, one from each OF
the principal committees which report appro
priation bills.
This resolution gave rise to discussion, in
which Messrs johnson, Trumbull. Wilson,
Davis, aud Chandler participated.
In the House of Representatives, the con-
sLeration of the Oregon bill was resumed.
Mr.. Yallandigham avowed his determine
ton to vote for the bill. He was opposed to
all the amendments.
Mr.. Lane, related the circumstances under
which the Oregon constitution was framed,
and repeated his declaration that he believed
thu population very nearly $1,000.
Mr.. Staunton opposed the admission on
the ground of the unconstitutionality of that
clause in the Oregon Constitution which eX-
cludcs the introduction of negroes, and pre-
vents their bringing suits III courts of the
State. He contended that III voting for this
admission the Republicans would and must
endorse thu bred Scott decision, that negro
cannot he citizen of the United States.
Mr.. Stephens advocated the admission
He first showed the Inconsistency of the Re
publicans in bringing up the population
questions; then referred to the negro eXcln-
sion clause, and asserted that the Topeka,
Kansas. constitution. contained similar one.
In relation To comforting the right OF citi-
zenship, he contended that this was the right
e the sovereign State alone To provide for.
1t was the dearest right Of the States, which
they should last surrender 10 the Federal
Government. He next proceeded with a
general argument on the subject.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Stephens remarks,
the substitute of Mr.. Grow, authorizing the
people Of Oregon TO call a Con, ention to form
a State Government in case it shall be the DE-
sire of the people fthe Territory toloTm such
government, was taken up. This substitute

Obstruction of the General Government

The Intelligence we received from Washing
Ton Yesterday, relative to the state of affairs
now e1istisg in the federal capital, indicates
that the President is almost abandoned in his
efforts to carry on the government of the coun-
try. All the politicians who have any direct
interest in the Presidency DISCO, are engaged
upon that question, and those who are too
small to Nv at that game are either preparing
10 feather their own nests with the spoils un-
der the new administration, or are bargaining
for the sale Of their influence to Presidential
aspirants.
In this exigencv it is surmised that the
President will have to resort to the extreme
measure of general clearing out of all the
federal Offices from the Cabinet down. and
institute anew orderot things, and moreover
will ask Of the next Congress, at the extra
session which seems now inevitable, To insti-
tute a rigid examination into the country for
twenty years past. in order to get at the bot
tom Of the corruption which is believed to exist
extensively in all departments of the govern
ment.
IfMr Buchanan has the pluck to adopt this
course, he will be effecting the most whole
some revolution which has taken place since
the foundation of the goyernment.-N. J..

A Just Claim on Congress

| Haym Salamon. of Philadelphia. held in
! finance much the same rank among the de-
voted and unpaid servants OF the Contincn,
tai Congress, which La Fayctte occupied in
the army, and Paul Jones on the ocran.--
/ They all had to pay their own expenses, and
from their own private means they all con
! tributed the bread Of life for our new born,
struggling, and mnnev-lcss Union. The
wealthy French noble was not ruined BY his
generous devotion to the cause of the young
/ republic. but Paul Jones and Haym Shannon
were utterly sacrificed. After sixty-years Of
vain application and ruinous delay, the heirs
! of Paul Jones, or the persons who had
bought up their large claims for mess of
pottage, received something from Congress:
but Haym Salamon's descendants have not
! to this day obtained one dollar for the $780,
900 which he advanced. 10 his own ruin, for
the salvation of our country in its darkest
hour of tribulation.
| The Senate Committee on Revolutionary
claims has investigated this case of Haym
Salamon, and its exceedingly lucid and con-
elusive report must 60 direct to the heart of
every Man who has u spark Of pride in the
fair dealing-we will not say liberality or
patriotic spirit, but simply the common busi-
ness honesty-of our public servants.
F.. These IRE the facts of this unparalleled
/ case {: lIaym Saamon, Polamdcr by birth,
and an ardent Liberal in principle, had
made Philadelphia the home Of his choice,
and at the opening Of the war of indepen-
dence was a rich banker and prosperous
merchant. Such man was prime n"crS-
! sitv to the Continental Congress. His Eu-
ropean facilities and connections enabled
| him to negotiate war-loans in France and
! Holland. and on such favorable terms as
have rarely been obtained by Il feeble colony
| in the early stages of revolt against pow
erful mother country. In one instance the
French agents received 100000 Us a fair
| business commission for services similar
TO those which ilaym Salamon was render
ing for nothing.
| Salamon also thought il was desirable T"
make the hostility Of Spain to Eng land
available for the recognition and advance
ment of our national independence. and
mainly though his skilful management Don
! Francisco RcndoE was commissioned by the
! Spanish government to reside near Congress
and carry out this policy. Documents exist
to show that this enroy Of Spain cas retain
ed and supported here By the iberut purse Of
Haym !Salamon: but for this no charge was
ever entered by the patriotic banker. Again.
there is evidence under the hands of James
Madison and Robert Morris, that during
the sessions of Congress Of Independence,
many of the members we're reduced to such
pecuniary distress that they would have
been obliged to return home. but for the
open purse of Haym Salamon. Yet these
ranging between $4,000 and
SIC. 600 unpaid--are not charged 10 the
government. The heirs only ask for the
$500, 900 advanced, in cash for the indispcn-
sable operations of the army and govern
ment; and yet this undeni"d and undeniable
act of Justice il withheld = Wash. NdieS.
