tIy Mr., Robert ChriSty. A member of n

Mr.. Robert Christy, member of the
Ohio Legislature from Butler county, has
discovered the origin of the prejudice against
color, which, he says, will never cease to
exist, in the 1st verse of the 18th chapter of
Numbers, where it is recorded that miriam
and Aaron spoke against Moses because of
the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he
had married an Ethiopian woman" But an
Ohio paper says that the honorable member
did not read far enough, or he would have
seen that the Lord was on the side of Moses,
and came down expressly to inflict punish
ment upon his captious relatives for their
indifference in his domestic arrangements.

.vThe Cleveland Herald says that of
the forty men summoned as jurors to try
Bushnell, thirty were Buchanan Democrats,
and ten Republicans; that the prosecution
and the defense each had the right to strike
out twelve names from the list, and that, in
the list stricken out by the United States
District Attorney, every one of the Repub-
licanS were included

The STATE BANK.-As some of the brokers
have attempted, through their organs, to
make war on the State Bank, we copy from
the Desmoines Citizen the following extract.
That journal, in abiding to these assaults in
very sensible article, says:
The sin of the State Bank is that it is too
e en,asRRty it %P aE it don't issue paper
been in operation, to make good times IN i t
The absurdity Of the objection, the folly of
the assault, carries with it all the reply that
is necessary. To the extent of its ability, the
State Bank has provided for Iowa currency
superior to any it has ever enjoyed. All
classes of men receive it with confidence, and
out of the State it is on a par with the best
paper in the West With very limited
authorized circulation, it is impossible for the
Bank to loan large amount of money; and
the least recklessness in this or any other
direction might prove fatal to a system in its
infancy in Iowa. As the number of the
branches increase, and the capital of those in
operation is enlarged, the channel of circu-
lation will be more and more filled, until our
currency will become as much home
currency as that of any other State.

~ The " ashington Union, (now Con-
stitution,) after a long silence on the subject
of Senator Douglas, renews its assaults upon
him. In noticing the fact that x-Governor
Jones, Of Tennessee, is said to be supporting
the Opposition in that State, though he has
been an old-linc Wing Democrat, and opposed
to Buchanan, the Union says:
We remind our read rs that this same "Jim
Jones' is the identical individual that was
heralded last summer as stamping the State
of Illinois in favor of the reelection of Senator
Douglas. The Southern Democracy will
understand from this how far, and to what
extent, sympathy with the anti Lecompton
faction at the North corresponds with the
same feeling for the success of the Democratic
party in the South. At the North, the SYM
pathizers with Judge Douglas claimed to be
as good Democrats as could be found any
where. From the position Of the late Senator
from Tennessee, however, it seems that the
opposition was more vital than mere differ
ence of opinion with the Administration on
the Lecompton question. We opine that this
is only the beginning Of the developments
that will take place, in showing the hydra
headed monster that is to come out of this
rebellion against the Democracy, from which
the Administration would have saved the
party. 1t is not yet too late to profit by the
sagacity and wisdom that the Administration
exhibited on that occasion, by rallying around
the old standard, and renewing our vows upon
that time-honored altar, which is the only
true and safe one for the honest worshippers
of constitutional liberty.

PENNsYLvA>lA.-Att the late Convention of
Forney Democrats, in Pennsylvania, Com
mittee, consisting of fifty-six members, was
appointed to meet on the 4th of May next,
and nominate State ticket, in opposition to
the Buchanan Democracy. Probably, the
Forney Democracy will work, as they did
successfully, last fall, in conjunction with the
Republicans and liberal Americans. Against
such union, Buchananism will make poor
show.

ESCTiSlYI EHlaS.

An earnest attempt was made bya majority
of the Republicans in the last Legislature of
iowa to pass bill for the ''purity of elections"
a few tmorous spirits were afraid such law
might damage the party, and the the bill was
lost for want of their support. If passed, it
would have been one of the best laws of the
session. We are one Of those who believe it
can never damage any party to do right, and
whatever can guard and preserve the purity
of the ballot-box is right, and every honest
man will sustain the party that secures that
end. Ballot-stutting has reached such an
extent that something must be done to correct
the evil. Other States have acted, and to
good purpose. All such reforms must come
from the Republican party, and the sooner it
openly assumes the responsibility the better.
The object sought can probably be best
attained 10y well-drawn Registry law, such
as the experience of other States can recon-
mend. \ law Of that kind-onc that will
sanction the deposit of every legal ballot, and
sfectually exclude all others-is what is badly
needed in Iowa. We hope to see one passed
by the next Legislature. 1t makes no differ
ence if the Democracy do oppose tive
expect them to-but their opposition should
intimidate 40 one. The passage of Registry
law can never damage the Republican party
in the least. We have just had an illustration
of it in Michigan. The last Legislature of
that State enacted a stringent Registry law,
and the cry went out immediately that Mich
igan would repudiate Republcansm. Great
hopes were entertained by the Democracy of
victory on that issue. Well, Michigan has
voted again, and Republicanism and the
Registry law are endorsed by an increased
majority So it will be in Iowa. With the
Hamilton freeman, we go for making the
registration Of voters an issue in the coming
campaign. If the Republican party will
boldly and fearlessly tender such an issue, it
will secure the support of every opponent of
election frauds, and, we venture to predict,
win substantial victory ON that question

- \ lady of Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
spending the winter in Aiken, S. c., with an
invalid daughter, wrote home to her family a
letter in which she spoke disrespectfully
Of slavery. The letter got into print, and
some malicious wretch sent a copy to the
Postmaster at Aiken. The authorship was
fixed upon the lady, and a committee of
chivalrous citizens ordered her to leave the
place within twenty-four hours. She plead
for her sick daughters sake - begged to
remain until her husband could come ana
take them away. But the citizens of Aiken
showed that frmness which distinguishes
them upon such occasions, and refused
while the indignant proprietor of the hotel at
which the lady was stopping commanded her
to leave his premises in half-an-hour. And
so this poor woman was thrust forth with her
dying child, and the sacredness of the insti-
tuition was indicated What is the song
about "the land of the free and the home of
the brave ?"

The Rush OF TRAVEL TO EURoPE.-There
appears to be general rush to the sailing
and steam packets for Europe. They all go
full of passengers, and berths are taken, in
some cases, weeks in advance of the day of
departure. The Passport Office in the State
Department receive numerous applications for
passports by mail, every day, in addition to
personal applications.
LOUISIANA bitter war is in progress in
Louisiana, between Slidell and Soule, for the
control Of the Democratic party of the State.
The latter is captivating orator, and inf
nitely superior IN that respect to his rival,
but the former is the most foxy. 1t will not
make much difference which one gets
thrashed. Both deserve to be.

The Charleston Convention.

The Charleston Convention will re-affrm
the principle of federal non-nterventon with
slavery in the Territories MS we'll as the States ;
it will nominate a candidate who will be
supported by every State in the South, and
be elected next President of this Republic
Washington States.
We concur with Southern conservative
contemporary that the Charleston Convention
will do neither the one nor the other If the
friends of Douglas attempt to cngraft his
squatter-sovereignty, non-intcrvention ideas
upon the resolutions, there will be an
explosion that will blow the Convention into
as many fragments as there are States. If a
candidate shall be nominated upon the non
intervention platform Of the Southern
Democracy, he will not get the electoral votes
of single Northern State, nor of one half of
the Southern States. If an attempt should
be made to repeat the kansas-Nebraska
swindle, it will prove abortive. The people
are tired of platforms and double-faced Presi-
dents that look two ways at once.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, in recent
letter, thus declares, in behalf of the political
school he represents, the ul:imatum for acting
with the Northern Democracy in the Presi-
dental election of 1860:
"Not only is the territorial legislature not
at lib rty to exclude slavery by umfrendly
acts, but it is bound to give it such adequate
and sufficient protection as its nature requires;
and, in default of its doing SO, it is the duty
of Congress to nterpose and compel its crea-
ton to discharge itself. TO these positions
the Northern Democracy must come, Or we
cannot stand with them in 1860. Anything
short of this is mockery and dclusion."
