RELATION OF THE SEXES.

Strange, and passing strange, that
the relation between the two sexes,
the passion Of love, in short, should
not be taken into deeper consideration
by our teachers and our Legislators.
People educate and lcgislate as if
there was no such thing in the world !;
but ask the priest, ask the physician
let them reveal the amount of moral
and physical results from this one
cause Must love be always discus
scd in blank verse, as if it were u
thing to be played in tragedies or sung
in songs subject for pretty poems
and wicked novels, and had nothing
to do with the prosaic current Of our
every day existence. orr moral wei
fare? Must love be ever treated
with profaneness, as II mere illusion !?
OF with coarSeness, as mere impulse!
or with fear, as disease? or with
leyity, as mere accident Whereas
it is q great mystery, and great ne
ccssity, lying at the foundation of hui
man existence, morality, and happi-
ncss-mystcrious, universal, inevita-
BILE as death. Why then should love
be treated less seriously than death !!
1t as serious a thing-lLs. Jameson.

Birthday Of Robert Burns.

The 25th of January was very gen
orally celebrated throughout the Unit
ted States as the Centennial Anniver-
sary Of the Birthday of Robert Burns.
In Rockford, Illinois, the Burns Club
held a celebration at the Holland
House and, from a report in the
Rockford Register, we judge the ex-
crciscs were of high order--instruc-
tive, and exceedingly crcditable to
that Scotch-Yankee Western town.
The speakers We're VIM. McGregor,
President of the Burns Club ; Hon.
Anson II. Miller Rev. Il. G. Smith
VIM. Hulin, Esq; His Honor Mayor
Perry DR.. r. p Lane Judge Church
and others.
In Chicago the celebration is repre-
scented to have been brilliant affair.
One of the most attractive features
of the occasion was a grand process
sion, consisting of the military, fire.
men, mayor, aldermen, and other city
officers, knights templars, masonic
lodges, odd fellows, &c. The feature
Of the evening was concert at Me-
tropolitan Hall, which was attended
by nearly three thousand persons, one
thousand being turned away for want
of room. The celebration closed with
a banquet and ball at the fremont
House, which were largely attended.
In New York great preparations
had been made to give eclat to the
occasion, and the one hundrcdth ami
versary Of the birthday Of "Scotia's
Bard" was celebrated in o style Of
magniliccnce seldom equalled ia that
city. Dinner was served at the Astor
House, and William Cullen Bryant
presided. Among the CATER dinner"
speakers we notice the names of the
President, Mr.. Bryant James T. Bra
dy Rev. DR.. Osgood Gplian c. Ver-
planck ; E. NJ. Archibald, the British
Consul ; VIM. Young, Of the Albion

tions, one at the Parker House and

BY LORD BYRON.

How full Of sentiment and pure affection ar
he following lines Walter Scott once declar
II that Byron never wrote another piece $,
wcct and beautiful as this:
There is mystic thread of life
So dearly weavcd with mine alone,
That destiny relentless knife
At once must sever both or none.
There is form on which these ewes
Have often gazed with fond delight,
BY day that form their JOY supplies.
And dreams supply it through the night.
There is a voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills of rapture through my breast
/ would not hear seraph choir
Unless that Voice could join the rest
There is face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the check,
But pallid at one fond farewell.
ProClaims more love than words can speak
There is lip that mine hath pressed
And none had ever pressed before
1t vow d to make me sweetly blGsS'd
And mine, mine only pressed it more.
There is bosom all my own.
Hath pllowcd oft this aching head,
And mouth which smiles on me alone,
An eye whose tears with mine are shed.
There are two hearts whose movements thrill
In unision SO closely sweet,
That pulse to pulse responsive skill.
That both must heave or cease to beat
There are two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams SO calmly run,
That when they part. they part all no!
They cannot part, these souls are one.

Indignation Meeting at Spirit Lake.

At large and enthusiastic meeting
of the citizens of Dickinson County,
Iowa, held at Spirit Lake City, Dec.
Goth, 1858, II. NJ Wiltfong, Esq, was
appointed chairman, and +. 4. Blake,
secretary.
After listening to addresses from
several citizens, tho meeting appointed
Hon. l.. Congleton, +. A. Blake, and
r. + Parmcntcr, committee to re-
port resolutions embodying the sense
of the meeting.
The committee reported the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted
IIhereas. The people of the counties
of Dickinson, Clay, and Buena Vista,
having in view of the wholesale de-
struction of life and property during
the winter and spring of 1851, and
the fact that last winter a band of
Indians of equal size of lnkpadutah's
band, appeared in their midst, COM
hitting acts of hostility, such as burn
ing dwelling houses, destroying prop
erty, and firing upon our citizens ::
and that band of Indians in the
character Of spies showing evident
signs of hostility; and considering
the sparseness of our population scat
tered over many miles Of territory :;
that no barrier is interposed between
them and numberless tribes of Indians
scattered to the North and North
West, and that there is no Fort or sta
ton of Soldiers, or even settlement
to which we could look for succor in
time of need, therefore,
Resolred, That the citizens Of Dick.
inson, Clay and Buena Vista counties
acted prudently and wisely in petit
tioning the Governor as they did to
exercise the power vested in him for
the protection of our frontiers.
ResOlred, That we, the citizens of
Dickinson county, condem the manner
and matter, spirit and tenor Of the ar
ticles which lately appeored in the
public prints, over the signatures of
}. S. Prescott and WIN. b. Zerby, and
we pronounce the same as gross iiJeis
upon the citizens of Northwestern
Iowa, and that the same were dictated
by spirit of personal revenge and
mcrcenary motives on the part of J.
S. Prescott, and pail poitrOoaery on the
part Of VIM. b. Zerby.
On motion, "a committee consisting
of Mcssrs. Il. Kingmar, G. w. Clark,
and Chas. L. Hill, were appointed to
wait upon the j. S. Prescott on his re-
turn to the settlement, and demand Of
him public statement Of his reasons
for publishing the scandalous false
hoods which have lately appeared in
the public prints over his signature.
On motion, the proceedings of this
meeting were ordered to be published
in the Iowa Citizen, Hamilton Freeman
and St. Charles City Intclligencer.

Senator Trumbull.

Hon. Owen Lovejoy, member of
Congress from the third district in
Illinois, has sent us Senator Trumbull's
great speech in answer to the disun-
ion speech of Mr. Ivcrson Senator from
Georgia. He exposes in strong terms
the utter fallacy of the claim put forth
! by the Southern men to the effect that
the rights of the South are invaded if
Slavery is not permitted to go into the
Territories of the Union. The cxclu-
sion of Slavery, he argued, did not in
volve discrimination in favor of one
section against the other. The dis
elimination was in favor of system
of labor merely, and in no sense to be
regarded as affecting political rights
In the slave states there were only
$50, 900 Shareholders against 5, 100000
of non-slaveholders. Suppose a non
Shareholder goes from Georgia into a
Territory-askcd Mr.. Trumbull-h
he not as much right to say that slav-
cry shall not come there, as the Gcoi-
gia Shareholder has to take his prop
erty there? What nonsense was it
to insist that the 100000 non-slavc-
holders in the South, and the l3,OO0,-
600 Of frcemcn in the north had moth
ing to say in regard to the system of
labor to be established in the Terrific
tics,-no voice in the settlement of
question which so materially affects
the material interests of each and all
of them, even leaving out of view the
moral aspect of the subject.
The Senator also revived Mr.. Web
stcr's argument denying that the Con-
stitution extends to the Territories of
the United States. That instrument
was a compact between States, not
Territories. This proposition he main
tanned was admitted in the Kansas
Nebraska bill by the insertion OF a
clause expressly extending the Consti-
tuition to the Territories created there
by. So, too, Judges in the Territories
are appointed for term of years,
whreas, if the Constitution extended
itself to Kansas, the Judges under it
would necessarily be appointed during
good behavior. Taking this view of
the case, MrT. secuted the idea that
slavery is carried to the Territories
by the Constitution at all, and cspc-
cially that it is maintained there by
State enactment. Finally, he ridicul-
ed, with much power and excellent
effect, Mr.. Ivcrson's determination to
go out of the Union unlcsss $4,000
Shareholders are permitted to rule it
in utter disregard of the sentiments
and interests of all the rest.

Moscow to Irkutsk is generally con-
vsycd in about 25 or 80 days. The
mail communication between Russia
and China is carried on by a horse
post between Pekin and Kyanchta, a
frontier town in Trans Baikpl, close
to Mongolian China, once every
three months. The distance between
kyanchta and Pckin is reckoncd
about 900 miles, and is traverscd in
about 80 days. The China mail is con-

100000 loan as substitute is under
consideration.
The French spoliation bill, which
passed the Senate some weeks ago,
is patiently waiting the condescension
of the House to take it up. The bill
is of vast interest to many of our citi-
zens, whose just claims upon the Gov
ernmcnt have been but too long treat
ed with shameful neglect. 1t is desi-
rable to know what the judgment of
the House will be upon it.
Another subject awaiting Congress
sional action has reference to the Post
Office. We are all benefited by the
Post Oflice-Dcmocrats, Republicans,
Americans, "North" and "Sou.h :"

that something should be done to ren-
der that department Of the Federal
Administration as far as possible a
paying conccrn-but without adopt
ing the wholly Objectionable PROPOSE
ton of the Postmaster General to
charge us five cents, instead of three,
for our letters. Still, as nothing can
be done properly in the way Of re-
form without discussion and dclibcra-
tion, if the thirty million abomination
is to have all the "talk" and all the
time, the post Office as well as the tar
iff, the Pacific Railroad and French
must go to the wall.
Oregon is knocking at the door and
desires admission into the Union.
There is no good reason why her
demand should not be complied with.
But she may keep on knocking, sim
ply because there is no time to consid-
er her application. Cuba, the foreign
or, must have precedence to the mem
bers Of our own household. For our
own part, we desire to see not only
Oregon, but Kansas too-our own
progeny safely in the Union, before
the outsider, Cuba, is invited to come

A LONG MAIL RoUrE.-Our Overland
Mail Route, from St. Louis to San
Francisco, is pretty extensive one,
but that from St. Petersburg to H.
kutsk, in Siberia, beats it.
The Siberian mail is conveyed from
st. Petersburgh to Moscow by rail,
and from thence to Irkutsk, the capital
of Eastern Siberia, in carriages drawn
by horses. The distance from Moscow
to Irkutsk is 1926 miles, and there
are 2l0 mail stations on the road for
changing horses. The mail communi-
cation is semi-wcekly and the expense
Of it to the Russian Government is
about $4,000 a year. The mail from
