MORE CORRUPTION.

On the eve of the adjournment of Congress, a
time always favorable to the accomplishment
of such transactions, Senator johnson, of Ar
kansas, succeeded in fastening an amendment
upon the Indian appropriation bill, appropria-
ting $4,000 for the following purpose. 1t seems
that some emigrants from Arkansas to Califor-
MIA were attacked on the way by Indians, and
that several heads of families were murdered,
but, by some means, their children escaped.
These children are now in Utah, and the Ar
kansas Senator moved the above appropriation
to defray the expenses of their removal to the
place of their nativity or residence in Arkansas.
Senator Broderick suggested that the PROPOSE
ton involved profitable job to some one, and
was therefore opposed to it but Mr.. Johnson,
of Arkansas, assured him that there was moth
ing sinister lurking beneath the face ofthe osten
sibly benevolent motion. Senators acquiesced,
and the amendment appropriating $4,000 for
the object above specified was engrafed on the
Indian appropriation bill.
Some days after the adjournment, the affair
was brought to the attention of the Secretary
of the Interior, accompanied by the additional
information that two persons, one Of them the
brOther-intaao Of Senator Johnson, and the other
friend Of the then Superintendent Of Indian Al;
fairs, Dencer, had already been appointed to pro-
coed by way of Panama, and thence to Utah, for
the purpose of restoring the children to their
homes in Arkansas. The Secretary, to his credit
be it said, at once declared that he would annul
the appointment, and that the parties should not
proceed on their mission. But he was told that
lars each, and that they were then on their way
to California, with nearly onefourth of the ten
thousand dollars in their pockets
We further learn that the Indian agent in
Utah, being DESTROYS of returning to the States,
had offered to bring the children with him at
cost to the Government Of about sac hundred
dollars! We are gratifed to state, what we learn
to be the fact, that Notwithstanding the ap-
pointees had pocketed fonrth Of the appro-
priation, by the hasty and unwarranted action
of the Superintendent, the Secretary promptly
annulled the appointments. 1t would be still
more creditable to the Secretary of the Interior
if he were to make his own appointments, in
stead of suffering them to be made by his ire
sponsible heads of Bureaus. We presume that,
in point of form, the Secretarys name is at
tached to the commissions of the two we'll paid
Good Samaritans; and that he signed them
without reading them, as Secretaries and Off
Gals often do. Mr.. Thompson may carry to
the discharge of his duties an honest purpose
of guarding the public interests; but the people
will require something more. The Cabinet IS
no place for I" a confidence man."

COMPOSING THEIR SINS.

1t is justly said that death-bed repentance
is better than none, and for this reason we
might hail with satisfaction, and as promise
of improvement in the character of the De-
mocracy,'' the following frank and truthful con-
fessions of the Washington Union and SEN
ator Toombs But the party has already been
pronounced dead by those who were once it's
shining lights and according to all orthodox
authorities. there is no repentance beyond the
grave. The confessions therefore come too
late, and will only serve to point the historical
justice which consigns the late Democratic par
ty to eternal infamy. The Union of the Odd
says:
Ambitious combinations are the curse of
the Democratic party They have tainted its
integrity, demoralized it, weakened it, rendered
1t doubtful antagonist even against the open
enemies of the Union. They have stricken
down and degraded all broad, liberal, and com
prehensive craftsmanship; they have substi-
tuted the miserable devices of demagogues for
those great principles of government under
which alone the industry of our country can be
developed"
1t would be very singular if the Black De.
mocracy, which was composed in great part Of
the Southern dispnionists, should be a very
reliable antagonist of the open enemies of the
Union" But this by the way. Mr.. Toombs, in
his speech upon the revenue question, towards
the close of the late session of Congress used
the following language, which is even more
frank and truthful than that quoted above from
the Washington Union. He says
Your appropriations for navy yards have
gone TO the building of houses for officers. anC
making of flower pots, and all that kind of thing
at cost of S2,O00,OO0 and it will be no les
as long as You will pay it, but viii go up II

$4,000, 900 that you have no need Of at all. 70,

Southern people, and has taken the wind out
of the sails of Mr.. Douglas. 1t would be in.
slant political death to the latter, at home and
throughout the North, to assume these positions.
Governor Wise has another claim upon the
Southern wing of his party of older date. We
allude to his reasonable conspiracy of 1856, to
prevent the Inauguration of Republican Pres
ident, in the event of Colonel Fremonts cleo
ton. 1t will be remembered that there was
meeting of Southern Governors at Raleigh du
ring that contest, with this object in view, in
which Mr.. Wise played very conspicuous part
We presume that he still adheres to that policy.
If he win, well but if beaten, he will grab the
stakes.

of going to war in the event of refusal: there
comes to us intelligence that great and free
people north ofus, homogeneous in language and
institutions with us, are discussing the utility
of voluntary annexation to our Union. Does
the proposition meet with warm and hearty
response from one end of the country to the
other? Do the people of the North hold pub,
lie meetings of greeting to the Canadians, anS
do the people of the South re-eeho the welcome 2
We are sorry to say that we have seen no sucl.
evidence of national JOY at the proposed add
ton to the power and resources of Freedom. ;
If we compare the British North America
provinces and possessions with Cuba, or eveN
with Mexico, their superiority must be COM
spicuous on the slightest examination and the
superior value and importance of the British
possessions to the Union, in a military and
commercial point of view, are equally striking,
In the first place, they contain some three mil
lions of active, intelligent freemen OF the Cau-f
casian race, whose commerce is of great i'm.
portance TO the people of the North. This
trade now amounts to many millions, and lfS
entirely unfettered as it would be if annexed,
it would be considerably augmented. One OF
the great rivers of the continent, rising partly.
In our territories, and whose waters are bordered
for more than a thousand miles by American
States, finds It's outlet to the ocean through
British territory. That great naval Power Gang
at any time cut off the people of the Northwest
from what would seem the natural right of nav-
igating the St. Lawrence to its mouth, and
thereby embarass their commerce.
In military point of view, the possession of,
these Provinces, and the command of the mouth
of the ST. Lawrence, is of the highest importance
to the United States. The military advantages
of annexation, indeed, are so obvious, that we
need not specify them, further than to allude to
these geographical features. Ifthe Mississippi
was necessary to the protection of the South
west, and if the acquisition of Cuba, as the
key Of the Gulf, is necessary to the safety of
the South, then is the mouth of the St. Law
renee tenfold more necessary TO the protection
of the North.
We have made these comparisons in order
to illustrate the sectionalism of the ProSlayery
rulers Of the country, and to expose the false
pretences they have set up in order to conceal
their partially for Slavery. We are not the
advocates of lawless agresslons upon the rights
of others and however desirable we may deem
the acquisition of, the British Provinces, we are
be effected by Legitimate and honest means.

THE MORALS OF ADVERTISING.

1t is impossible to please everybody. Last
week, intent alone son making confession OF
wrong doing, and putting ourselves in right
position, we did not dream of committing a
trespass upon anybody else.
WE'LL let us try again. Let every man be
fully persuaded in his own mind. Editors, like
other people, will differ. Every one has, or
ought to have, his own code of morals. We are
somewhat scrupulous as to what we insert in the
Era, even as an advertisement; we may be over
nice still we must act as we believe. The
publisher of the New York Ledger has genius
the plan of having the opening chapters of a
novel inserted as ordinary reading matter in
the columns of his exchanges, and, al the end
of the second or third chapter, apprising the
reader that the rest of the work in which he has
become so deeply interested is to be found
alone in the New York Ledger, struck us at
first merely as an acute device it did not occur
to us to question its moral aspects, and so we
advertised for him, like the rest of our editorial
brethren.
But word of friendly comment from two or
three subscribers drew our attention to the SUBJ
ject. 81 did not think, says one, "that Dr.
Bailey would aid in taking as az this way
The first thing we do, when charged with wrong
doing, is to ask ourselves, Is the charge true
We did so in this case and our conscience
answered, yes We do not say that the editor
of the Ledger intends to take the People in by
snch advertisements, any more that we intend
ed to deal unfairly with our readers by publish
ing them but it is fact, nevertheless, that
the efficacy of the advertisement is made to de-
pend largely upon deception. The chapters
selected are apt to be thrilling" ones. They
are required to be inserted in the reading col
umns. Every suggestion of an advertisement
is to be excluded. The object is to make the
readers believe that they are to be favored with
a new and most attractive story in their paper,
so as to arrest their attention, and engage their
interest When all this is secured, they are
then abruptly told" There; we know you are
interested in this story-that is just what we
intended; but you can see no more of it unless
you subscribe for the Ledger, in which alone
it will appear"
Every reader so dealt with feels that he has
been deceived. So we thought, after having
been led by the complaints of our subscribers
to consider the matter-and therefore we spoke
We do not assume to judge the publisher of
the Ledger, or our editorial brethren; they will
think and act for themselves but we must
think and act for ourselves. We certainly shall
have no objection to advertising whole chap
tiers for him, if he will consent that we preface
their publication with an announcement, say
on this wise:
owe print in the Era the following two
chapters of a novel, as specimens of work
which is to appear exclusively in the columns
Of the New York Ledger.r

in 1882, and which we used effectively in 1856,
as campaign document; but we are opposed
to carrying elections by this corrupt system Of
favoritism, even if Mr.. Faulkner and Mr..
Letcher had always adhered firmly to our
cause, instead of vacillating and retrograding
with every ebb of the tide.
This policy which has been invariably re-
sorted to by the Black Democracy, of using
the employees of the Government, as so many
slaves, to carry elections in cases where the
unfettered and unbought voice of the people
would strongly condemn them, is one of the
most fragrant and corrupt abuses of the times,
and calls for remedy. 1t is at once a fraud
upon the public at large fraudulent means
of securing or attaining power, and most de-
moralizing and degrading species of tyranny
over the employees

INDIAN DISTURBANCES APPREHENDED.-C Chi
cago, March 24.-The Jasper county Qowa)
Free Press, of the 9th instant, says that con-
siderable excitement exists at Spirit Lake,
arising from the fear of an attack of Indians,
numbers of whom are reported as lurking in the
vicinity. Two were arrested, but afterwards es-
capped. They were recognised as having belonged
to In-Paducah's band, which was engaged in the
horrible massacre there, eighteen months since.
Subsequently fourteen were taken, including
the brother-in-law of In-Paducah. A band
numbering one hundred and fifty are reported
as lurking about Heron Lake. Preparations
were making to send out scouts to reconnoitre /;
sentinels were also stationed, and strict watch
maintained both day and night.

himself as an independent candidate, has with

OLD LINE WHIGs-SPEECH OF Ex-GovERNoR
Hunt, OF NEW YoRE.-There was meeting
of the Wing General Committee" at Hope
Chapel, in New York, on Tuesday evening last,
at which Hiram Ketchum, Esq, presided, as
sisted by twenty-five Vice Presidents. Elk.
Governor Hunt made the principal speech, and,
according to the reports in the New York pa
pers, he was attentively listened to, and fire.
quently and warmly applauded." No resolu-
tons were passed, except one of thanks to Gov
ernor Hunt, nor was any specific action pro-
posed.
Ex-Governor Hunts speech was conciliatory
in spirit, but he assumes that the Opposition
can only be united on platform which ignores
the Slavery question. He thinks that there is
no danger of Slavery extension he is for hush
ing up the agitation. He ridicules the idea of
establishing Slavery in Mexico, and thinks that
there is no danger of revival of the slave
trade. Mr.. Hunt has relapsed into incurable
old-fogyism, from having been some years ago
strongly Anti-Slavery. There can be no union
of the Opposition upon any such terms as those
proposed by him, and it is merely idle to talk
of it.
1t is equally idle to talk Of reviving the Wing
party, which died in 1854, when the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise was proposed. Had
that party taken issue upon that great question
with the Black Democracy, it would now prob
ably have been in power, instead of being scat
tered TO the four winds of heaven. But it lacked
conscience and moral courage. Mr.. Everett,
its great champion in the Senate from the
North, thought the question of repeal one of no
practical Importance while Mr.. Badger, the
great defner of Southern Whiggery, joined the
enemy on that vital question.
