The Way Law is Observed by
the Administration.

The National Rkuigencr states Chat the govern
ment advertisements having been withdrawn from
its columns il deems IL proper nevertheless to CON
tinue to insert them, although IL be qratuitously,
for the information of its subscribers, especially
those who have been accustomed TO look to it for
such information. The InteLtigcn5er does not give
the reasons why the public advertisements have
been Withheld; but the States does. These
reasons as given by the latter journal, reflect no
credit upon the administration but place IL in the
position Of vioator instead of an observer OF adj
ministrator of the law. Indeed, the States de-
nounces the means by which the Intelhgencer is
prescribed, Zone of the most Infamous mscon-
sructions of law ever put in practice" The law
regulating the publication of the advertisements in
question: is as follows.-Ndsh. Patriot
"That in all cases where proposals for any con-
tract or contracts to be made by any of the Ex-
ecatiye Departments or Bureaus and in all cases
where notices of any description issuing from the
same are now required by the law to be advertised
the same shall be advertised in two newspapes in
the city of Washington having the largest permanent
subscription"
''In the face of this law" says the States-"a law
so plain that any school boy can understand, its
true meaning the Attorney General of the United
States, at the commencement of the present Ad.
ministmtion, made n decision which placed con.
struction upon this law that gave the government
advertisements to the two papers in the city o.
Washington publishing the largest aggregate mum
Der Of papers per week, instead of the "two paper
having the largest permanent subscription the
law specifies.
"By this decision, every daily subscriber to {
paper is counted as six permanent subscribers
as one as the law requires
This decision, which does so much injustice t.
journals "having the largest permanent subscription.
the States says, was made in contraventon of anoth
or which conformed TO the law. The States adds
We have protested against the injustice of thi
matter to the President well to members o
his Cabinet and our friends have protested in Gu
behalf; yet all the satisfaction We ever got was
that if different construction was palaced upoI
the law the advertisements would go to the Ma
tional Era newspaper.

Desa When reading the eulogy of the Richmond
Examiner [democraticl upon Gen. Scott VIC could
not but ask oursef if the editor did not blush the
recollection that he helped to defeat such man for
the Presidency, with that fourth rate demagogue
and tenth rate General-Franklin Pierce. General
Scott as a statesman is perhaps second to no one,
and as a Military leader, he is the most distinguish
ed of those now living yet, with honors nobly won
in the service of his country an ungrateful party
advanced above him man unknown to fame-un-
distinguished on the battle field and in the council
chamber and who, as President was mere party
automaton that moved as the wires were pulled.
But Gen. Scott is no longer in the way of the dem
ocratc party, and his bittereS rivers now give the
Iie to their past conduct by acknowledging his
greatness and the value of his services to his
try Such is the debasing influence of party spirit
upon men capable of nober deeds than pundering
the Treasury and dsfaming the good and great; and
when SANDER has done its work, unblushingly pub

two horses can do the work Of twenty men and five
carts. And what is 10 become Of the nineteen men
thus throw out of employment? Labor-saving ma
chinery is doing vast amount of mischief to the
morals Of the country by throwing men and women
out of employment and converting them into thieves
and prostitutes. Yet every new invention Of the
sort is hailed triumph, and its capacity to sub
stitute manual labor is made the standard of its
value. All such inventions grind and multiply the
poor, debase the morals Of the masses, and do more
to perpetuate locofoco rule than any single cause
whatever. The increase OF crime and pauperism in
this country-making an allowance for the imported
articles--has been in proportion to the multiplied
ton of labor-saving machinery. That it must be So

fitted 10y circumstances for nothing but manual
labor can not, when thrown out of employment

no longer support themselves, in competition with
machinery, beggary, crime and prostitution become

RslS~ We are garfield at the election Of S. N.
as Mayor of Nashville. desperate
effort was made TO defeat him, and GAINESVILLE was
held up by his opponents as IA terrible bugbear to
Brighten his friends This was decidedly compli-
mentary to the rapidly increasing importance of our
town, and its formidable rivalry of Nashville, but
it was unkind and unjust to these facts against
Mr. Hollingsworth, whose is not the tax list
of this county, and who can have no interest what
ever in working for GAINESVILLE and against Nash
vile where his business and property centered.

Bay" The Convention of the American party of
New York selected its candidates for State offices
from the tickets nominated by the Republican and
democratic parties Instead Of seperate ticket,
the Americans deemed il the wiser course TO select
the best materials from the other two parties, be-
leving that the best interests of the State would
be thereby subserved-not merely through the
greater capabiliy and efficiency of the officers, but
in the defeat of purely party rule-whether Re-
publican democratic. 1t is at best however, a
choice of evils, as neither of those parties can
furnish materials of an unexceptionable character.

From the Presbyterian Herald
Stewart College,

This Institution opened under favorable auspices
on the 9th inst The number of students reached
20 the first week, with large prospects in advance
for still further acceSSions.
The College goes into operation this time, with
much better prospects for permanence than ever
heretofore. When it passed from the Masonic Fra
ternty under the controls the Presbyterian church
its energies crippled by debt of ten thousand
dollars, that had accumulated, and nothing upon
which to rely except tuition fees for the support of
faculty The citizens of GAINESVILLE and vicinity,
with lberality worthy ofthe church which has
always been FIRST in education in country, not
only liquidated the debt which pressed like an in
cubus upon it, but proceeded to raise endowment
adequate TO the support of the Professors and the
ted by the citizens of Clarksvie, and the Synod of
Nashville stand pledged for $4,000 more. The
Presbyterian Church has always occupied high
ground upon education generally, and an educated
ministry in particular. Now, that we have given
impulse to others, and compelled them to educate
in self-dcfense are not in danger of relying too
much upon the name we have already won, upon
our ancestral glory? The pulpit ofthe Presbyterian
Church of the United States is unsurpassed, may
say unequalled, by any in the country for ability
for scholarship for eloquenee her literature occupies
position of which she may well be proud. The
greatest contribution 10 theology made in this
countryside knowledge of God effectively and
Snectively considered, is the production of one Of
her Divines.
There are all the requisites all the facilities fol
making scholars and to make the period of resi-
dcnce necessary for the acquisition of scholarship
pleasant and agreeable to the student--an able tacu
ty, large and commodious building and cultivated
and refined society. Under such auspices as these
surely the college ought to prosper. Will the Synot
of Nashville redeem their pledge?

Douglass squatter sovereignty and they can yield

HGSE~ Some unknown friend has sent us a num-
Der Of the Richmond EramiRcr containing n part
of a speech delivered in Minnesota, by ex-governor
Seymour. of New York. The object of that friend
is doubtless, to impress with the belief that the
democratic party, North, is conservative and ma
tiona We freely admit thattho sentiments utteredby
the speaker are emiHently conservative and nation
al, and if they were common TO the whole party,
ld were followed by corresponding action sectional
strife would have been unknown. But unfor-
tunately, Gov Seymour is not the democratic party
of the North, and worse STILL it is known to be the
practice of leaders of that party to become suASr-
latycly national and patriotic on the eve ofAa
Presidential election, and, that over to relapse into
ultra partyism and fomcnt sectional strife in order
10 advance their personal interests. 1t costs a
northern democrat no effort TO utter sentiments
favorable to southern views, when the harmony of
the party is essential to its successful pursuit of the
plumber; and with the same motives and aims, it
costs n southern democrat no effort to advocate
squotcr sovereignty and deny the power of Con-
gross to protect the STAKEHOLDER in his constitutional
rights upon the public domain. This playing into
each others hand is the game which has so long
enabled the democrats to win place and power, and
the speech of Gov. seymour and the advocacy, by
leading southern democrats of the "short cut to all
the ends of abolitonism," is but II renewal of the
old game 10y which the people have been so often
and so fatally cheated.

e,cdit for sincerity; but we orc too familiar with
