GratuitOus Work.

There is no class Of mechanics. labor
ers, or citizens of any kind, that do more
gratuitous labor than publishers of coun-
try newspapers; and in view of this fact
an eastern exchange has the following
just remarks, which we CONNIE nd to the
attention of readers generally
"REsoLvED, That the foregoing be
published IN the county papers," In these
words, the proceedings Of public meetings,
private assemblages, parties, pic mics, &C.,
to the end Of the chapter, are generally
ended. People imagine they have only to
meet and resolve, and the printer will
publish their preambles and resolutions
without remuneration or objection. If
companion dies, he must be embalmed ia
u long set of resolutions at the expense of
the printer. If a few spectators NEE,
for the purpose of devisiug ways and
means to plumber the public, the printer
is expected TO endorse their movement
and applaud the movers, gratu;tously. If
an aspiraat for favor manages to get the
endorsement of few personal friends
the printer is called on to spread the as
~,':-s &C.,. q. - -1uilition of enthu-
sastic demand, and suck his thumb for
pay. The fact is, we are getting tired of
putting other people and their plans. We
are weary of this constant draft on our
time, labor and resources-and il is about
time tie publishers of newspapers under
stand their own interests and themselves
We are always willing to second any move
ment for the public good, but this con
slant drain on our liberality merely to be-
neht and elev ate individuals. is more than
We are able to submit to. We must live.
We have mouths to feed and backs to
cover, and they will not be satisfied, as we
have often been compelled to be, with
promises. Of all other working men in
the country, the publishers of country
newspapers have insuperabe difficulties to
combat. Their labors, besides being
poorly appreciated, are poorly paid. They
are expected to advocate the local inter-
ests without local support or encourage
ment, as many Of the men who are engag.
ed in home enterprise treat their local
journals with neglect and q contempt
congenial with their vanity and ,ngrati-
tude. We ask for nothing but what is
just, and will submit to nothing but wha,
is right. We ask only to be paid for our
labor. And it is labor, nay, a struggle of
mind and muscle, to keep q country
newspaper ahoat. Therefore, those who
wish to use our columns for their own be-
nett, must pay-psy cash. Is they pay for
their bread and batter, their raiment, their
pleasures, and their preaching.

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

We will send THE REGISTER to subscrb
ers from the commencement Of volume
two until the first of November, for so
cents in advance. As The REGISTER is the
only Democratic paper in this Represen
tative District, the friends of the party
should secure its introduction into every
family III the District, to the end that
sound Democratic doctrines may be freely
disseminated among the people, that they
may have = thorough knowledge Of the
qusstione at Issues between the political
parties Of the day. In making this pro-
position We expect to meet hearty
second from those who desire to see Dem,
ocratic principles triumph. 1T is not
enough for them to read this notice, and
hope that the " Campaign Register" may
succeed, but it is their duty to 60 to work

In the report Of the committee ap
pointed to examine the Niobrarah route to
the gold mines, published in our last
issue, several important errors occurred,
which We desire to correct. The party
reached the North Platte, eight miles be-
low Fl. Laramie on the lth day Of June,
instead Of the 18th, aud travelled only
trenty days, instead Of twenty five, as
printed. We hope our readers will com.
pare these corrections with the printed
letter, BY which they will perceive that the
distance Travelled in the time specified es,
tablishes the Niobrarah route a. the most
feasible from the Missouri river TO Fort
Laramie, tho new gold fields, and any
point on tho Pacific coast via the South
Pass.

Party Formation.

Just now there comes up from various
quarters and from various elements OPP
posed to the Democracy, . cry of combi-
nation and union. Broken down politi-
clans q defunct parties-renegade Dem
ocrats- mole-eyed fanatics and ambitious
Republicans, oil join in the rally. Such
political phenor ena have occasionally
been witnessed, but under far other and
more favorable circumstances than now
exist.
Federalism and Whiggery both surren q.
dered after long and arduous struggle
but not until they had lost very standard.
Republicanism sought to retrieve their
fallen fortunes, and with flaming appeals
to passion, prejudice, local interest and
feeling, renewed the attack-but still the
Democratic columns are unbroken.-
Therefore anxious spokesman, clamor, com.
bine the opposition, and
"To the breach once more dear friends,
Grant that it we're affected, what kind
of an opposition would this combination
present7 Certainly not one of principle
for each Of these elements differs wide
Iy from the other on vital issues. Even
Republican ism itself processes to be one
thing in the East and another thing in the
West on important questions. Who then
are to surrender their opinions or political
integrityy Shall genuine Republicans
sue for an armistice with the Se"sh and
pray ...
While yet We live but one shsrt hour perhaps
Between us two let there be peace"
Shall Americans break up their secret
conclaves, or the disaffected Of the South
compromise their constitutional rights -
Or will they forget these difficulties in
that common sympathy which always
springs from common misfortune. A
feeling Of envious hostility to the Demo
crazy pervades all, and by that sign viii
they seek to conquer.
This becomes more apparent from the
fact that the opponents Of the Democracy
no matter what their pedigree or protested
ground Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rejoice
together over their successes, and sorrow
over their reverses. This congenial oppo-
sition in New England demands mo more
slave Slates,' and deneunces Democrats
as slavery propagandists. In Georgia, at
late Convention, it charged the Demo.
cracy with being abolitionized.
At the West it processes friendship for
the adopted citizen; in Maryland and
other localities it shows the foreign.born
no other favor than the indulgence of the
mob. At the late election in Virginia
this opposition was bitter against Letcher,
the Democratic nominee, alleging that he
was not sufficiently pro slarery-and yet,
the immaculate, freedoms hrieking Re
publicans of the North, were praying
daily for the defeat Of Letcher. Such
will be the hydra. headed monster of the
opposition, nothing for principle but
anything for the spoils Of Office. What q
consistent, patriotic, harmonious combina
ton, these elements would constitute. Let
it be formed and put an end to sectional
---~e~ - "--'-~-~ s~-..-- s,.v -saos~ ga voa
OF demagoguism and the Democracy will
bury them so deep that we shall be dis.
tursed no more by their false alarms Of
danger--tLeir fanatic walls, and clamor
for spoils.

Of Baldwin, the Republican candidate

WAsHINGroN, July IA

WASHINGTON, July IA
The Constitution, Of this morning en-
tains a copy of dispatch from the SITE
Department recently sent to our Miniter
at Berlin, on the subject of naturalzat,n.
The case is that of a naturalized citizen
of the United States, who is q native Of
Hanover, and who, when he left his native
country, was neither in actual service in
the Hanoverian army nor had been draft
ed to serve in it, but who has yet, upon
his return to Hanover, been deprived OF
his liberty and compelled to perform mil
tary service.
The President and Cabinet concur in
the views expressed, taking the ground
that the moment a fore gner becomes ma
turalized his allegiance to his native coun
try is severed he is no more responsible
for anything he may say or do, or omi, to
say or do, after assuming his new charac-
ter, than if he had been born in the Unit
ed States. Should be return to his native
country, he returns as an American ei,i-
zen, and in no other character. In order
to entltle his original Government to
punish him for an offence, this must have
been committed whilst he was a subject
and owed allegiance to that Government.
The offence must have been complete be-
fore his repatriation and it mus,
been of such character that he
have been tried and punished for i
moment of his Departure Our Min
is instructed to demand the. Sc Oh.
naturalized citizen in question.

From the Upper Country.

On Tuesday last We conversed with Nj
R. B. AVERY, just down from Fort w.
which point he left on the I'd day Of June,
and was II days in making the trip in .
Mackinaw boat. He reports the Indians
in the upper country to be in = very bad
humor towards the whites, and for long
time refused to receive the good, taken to
them by the Agents. They finally cooled
down, however, aud receipted for the goods.
The upper Sioux tribes are greatly d.
pleased with the Yanctons for ceding their
lands in Dakota Territory, they clail z,
that these lands were the commod pro.
perry Of the several tribes Of Sioux, and
that the Yanctons had no right to sell
without the concurrence Of all parties in
terested. They protested against the
passage Of Lieut. REYSoLD's exploring
party through their country, and threaten.
ed to destroy his party if he made the at.
tempt. The country for great distance
west of Fort Pierre had been burned over
it is thought for the purpose Of defeating
the advance of the party by the destruc>
ton Of the grass. aaa
The Chippewa left Fort Union on
the End Of July for Fort Benton. She
was under the charge Of the veteran Capt.
LABARGE, who was confide t that he wcu!d
complished by steamboat on the Nilsson.

1t is the opinion of Mr.. A. that Lieut..
Reynolds party will make important gold
discoveries in the Black Hills and the
country north, A. many fine specimens
have been found by hunters in that region.
He saw. one specimen that weighed i've
ounces. There is little doubt but that
large quantities Of gold exist in the upper
Missouri river country. and an interest is
now being awakened in regard to it, which
will rapidly develop its capacity.
