A more appalling picture Of corruption and

sslyes into every position of honor and profit,

THE Republican party of Kansas owes il TO
,pelf and to its principles to utterly repudiate
md disoTn this hole class Of leeches and para
s;,es. The Free-State party ruined itself, and
bad well nigh ruined the cause, BY attempting
h earry the crushing load Of DRUNKEN CASDI-
nITgs and licentious leaders. The strength OF
he Republican party in Kansas is with that class
ofmen who will not tolerate such candidates, nor
Sallow such leaders The sooner this fact comes
to be realized the better. There are nO'o in

Mr.. Monroe responded briefly but eloqucntly;
Permit me, sir, to express to you and to the
gentlemen whom you represent, my grateful
acknowledgment Of the distinguished favor you
confer in presenting to mc these beautiful and
handsomely embelIished volumes.
need not say that the circumstances sur.
rounding me at this hour, however unexpected,
produce emotions Of deepest gratitude. Even
had never before received any demonstrations
Of your liberal regard, could not, for moment
entertain the opinion that have any claim on
you for this expressive testimonial Of your re.
Spect But when have so recently received a
substantial and highly appreciated evidence of
your generous friendship | should blush to
tnd that had conceived the expectation that
this additional expression and valuable treasure
would be presented
But while il has been altogether unexpected,
| rePeat-lt iniuses into my heart emotions Of
deepest gratitude. "Let my right hand forget
It's cunning, rather than that should cease
TO remember the kindness you have bestowed
upon me. Yea "Let my tongue cleave to the
roof oImy mouth, "-if | call not on the name Of
the God Of the Bible, that its richest blessings
may be yours
But the appropriateness of the testimonial
has much to do with the influence it will exert
on the mind. How can Isuitably acknowledge
your git, especially this magnificent copy of
the word of God? confess, know nothing
you could bestow-lpart from the Bbc-that
is not earthly, and subject to destruction, for
even "(he fashion of this world plSicth away"
But the Bible is most valuable because it teach.
es us that "Godliness is profitable unto all
/ . L...s Al. r
that which is TO come, and because ut is the
word orthe Lord that eudureth forever
receive them as memorials Of true friend
ssip, and they shall occupy prominentposition
among those Imemcntos lsprlze mos, high "
And when separated from you by distance
these shall prove link to bind my heart to
yours.
In conclusion, allow the to express the desire
that the truths OF this loved volume may so in.
tinence our lives, that we may be brought to
that Better Country where our friendships
shall be perpetuatcd, and where love rcigus su.
premc.

Is Man to be Despised for his Calling 2

One Of our contemporaries, in some
personal structures upon brother editor,
accuses him OF having been "tinker"-
as il that were a disgrace to him While
we do not wish to interfere in the per-
sonal controversies Of our neighbors, we
must be permitted to say, that, il they
have nothing worse of which TO accuse
each other, than the pursuit Of some hum
BILE but honorable vocation, they had better
remain silent. Such illusions are un-
worthy Of the press, and are calculated
only 10 pander 20 the corrupt tastes Of the
illierate and vulgar. Should a man be
doomed, in this land OF boasted equality,
without regard TO his native worth OF
capacity, 10 remain in an obscure position,
because, forsooth, he began lie as a
"tinker 2" Such a doctrine would exclude
from our highest official stations, some
Of their most worthy occupants and, we
fear, would deprive even the editorial
profession Of some Of its brightest stars
1t may do very well in a country where
an idle and vicious few rule the industrious
multitude, but it is unsuited to these lati.
tudes. Many an humble artisan has
risen TO eminence, whom riches would moi
have elevated, and who owes his success
in life TO his patient industry. We dc
not regard it as disgrace, or even a mis-
fortune, to any man, that he is master
Of n trade; the future of our country
would look all the brighter, il it could be
said of every young man in the land
The pride Of honest industry is most JUS
tifablc pride; and he who is ashamed c
his vocation, is disgrace to it.
II the press would condemn or derid,
any, let it be those who live in idleness
ignorance and vice, upon the earnings 0
the more worthy and industrious. Let i
proclaim wherever its influence extends
that THERE is NO EXCELLENCE WITHOUT
LABOR, and hold as worthy of all com
mendation, the man who, in spite Of trials
and Disadvantages which would have dis
mayed cowardly spirit, and by virtue o
his own inherent merit, rises from al
humble sphere TO honor and distinction. -
Let it judge men by their real, intrnsi
worth, and not by their stations or cir
cumstances.

Act wei! thy part--rHERE all the honor hes "

An Unjust Measure.

Mr.. English, of Indiana, has introduced
a bill into the House Of Representatives,
which has been referred to the Committee
of the Whole on the State Of the Union,
requiring publishers of newspapers and
other periodicals. to pay regular rates OF
postage on their exchanges. which are
now carried through the mails, free of
charge. We hope that this unjust
measure will fail to become law. Ii the
Post, Office Department does not sustain
itself under the present law, it is not be-
cause editors are allowed to receive their
exchanges free that is but one item Of
expense to the Government, and compar'
atively insignificant one. Could the
mail routes OF the Southern States be
made to pay as we'll rs those Of the
Northern States, we presume the Post
Office Department might be saved from
bankruptcy, without curtailing any priv
Ieges OF the press. Let the remedy b'
applied to the real evil. Were no fret
privileges granted by the Government t'
any class, the press would have no reason
to complain but, since our Legislators
have voted to increase their own pay, anC
expend thousands of the public treasure
in the publication and distribution Of work
which are of little interest to the gen
eral reader, and in various other extrava
gancies, it would hardly become them, t
seek retrenchmeRt by impairlng the eI
ficiency of the press. We trust there ar
wiser statesmen in Congress, than Nj
e English, who will see that their own intel
esls, as well as the interests OF newspapt
a publishers, are not likely to be promote
by the passage Of his bill. Mr.. Englis
!. should content himself with the hone
his Kansas Bill has shed on his nam,
. without seeking the passage of Rnotht
: law which the people do not desire, an
would be sure to cond emR.

PAcTIo RAILRoAD.-TheW Washington cor
respondent of tho Now York Herald writos
that " tho most prominent and almost abb
sorbing subject before Congress and with the
high lobby is tho Pacific Railroad question.
There are at least fifty patriotic capitalists
horo, who are ready to handle tho money OF
tho United States for the great work. While
tho majority admit tho necessity or incalcu
liable usefulness of the Pacific Railroad, there
is very general impression that bill can
not pass this Congress.

DEATH OF Mrs. WoRDswoRTH.-Mrs,
Wordsworth, widow of the poet, died on
the l7th ult. The London Daily News
says There was something mournfu in
the lingering of this aged lady-blind,
deaf. and bereayed in her latter years
but she was not mournful any more than
she was insensible. Age did not blunt
her feelings, nor deaden her interest in
the events Of the day. 1t seems not so
very long ago that she said that the worst
of living in such place as the Lake dis
trict } was its making one unwilling to go,
II was too beautiful to let one be ready 10
leave it. Within a few years the beloved
daughter was gone, and then the aged
husband, and then the son,in law, aud
then the devoted friend Mr.. Wordsworth Is

occasionally by the side of her chair then
