The RIGHT SPIRrT.-The democracy
of Philadelphia, among whom there was
much difference on the Lccompton ques-
ton, have agreed upon very sensible
course respecting it. They have agreed
10 disagree and treat it as n dead issue.
which in fact it is. A newspaper cores
pondent thus describes how tho plan
works. AT large meeting with refer
cnce to the approaching municipal cleo
ton, "when the Presidents Lecompton
policy was approved by speaker, the
Lecompton men cheered with good will
an expression of the disapproval of the
same policy, when uttered by another
speaker, was answered by hearty burst
of applause from the anti-Lecompton men.
And when the president of the meeting
called three cheers for sentiment ignor-
ing all further separation and party dis
cord about the Lecompton issue, the APP
plause was as vociferous rs the previous
vote for the resolutions Of ratification was
unanimous" This is the right spirit, and
if it prevail everywhere VIC shall soon
cease to hear Of division in the democrat
ic party. bet. Free Press.

STEAMBOAT FROM HOLLAND TO CHICAGO.
We learned from DIR. Goats few days

river steamboat man, Capt. Mixer, is now
absent TO Detroit negotiating for the
steamer Columbia which he intends TO
run between the ports on the Eastern
shore, south of Grand Haven, and Chica.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
The following is an extract from an editorial
in the London (England) Times, Of the 10th Of
April;

The following is an extract from an editorial
in tho London (England) Times, Of the 10th Of
April:
"The conduct Of Napoleon III, in these pre-
liminary discussions which we're intended to pre-
cede the Congress has not been OF character 10
allow much hope that we have been mistaken as
to his ultimate intentions. The present position
OF these negotiations may be thus stated-Aus-
tria long and stubbornly insisted on the disarm-
ament Of Sardinia as a preliminary 10 going in
to Congress. This England and France refused
to ask her to do, saying, : If the other powers
are to enter Congress armed, let not Sardinia be
requested 10 disarm before the others, and alone.
After almost endless discussion, Austria was
moved from this position, and she agreed to dis
arm before going into Congress, if France and
Sardinia would do the same. Nothing apparent
ly could be fairer. France consented to disarm
ms we'll ms Austria but when Austria asked rs n
first installment of obligation that she should
see some diminution in the Sandman levies,
France turned round and stated that she herself
nerer had armed, and that she had no idea Sar-
dimia ,oas included IN the disarmdment. She,
moreover, altogether declined to ask her ally to
disarm. Such we believe, is now the hitch in
the negotiations; and this unexpected obstacle
raised by France gives occasion to the suspicion
that the Empcrorbas no intention Of allowing
the present difficulties TO be settled by diploma
cy. Well informed men now believe that he is
only amusing Europe with the promise Of Con-
grcss while he exhausts Austria and natures all
his own preparations for taking the field.
The position of Austria is, indeed, highly crit
ical. The very worst that could happen to her
is the present state Of suspense. To maintain
those great ornaments in inaction is sure ruin.
The fortune Of battle is uncertain; perhaps she
may be victorious; but, even in the very improb-
able event of her losing rapidly all her italian
provinces, and suffering great successive defeats,
she would not be in worse position than she viii
be under perpetual armed peace. She is bleed
ing 10 death, and she may as weU be Killed By the
sleord as the lancet. But, however this may be,
the policy Of England in this matter must not be
misunderstood. Above all things, our desire is
to maintain peace; but, if this may not be, then
'let him who takes the sword perish by the
sword"

EAST AND WEST FINANCIALLY CON-
SIDERED.

The remark is often made, "why is il
that we so long and so severely suffer the
ruinous effect consequent upon the late fl
nancial crisis, while at the East money is
plenty, business buoyant, and marked
prosperity prevails in trade and commerce"
The answer is simply this: Western
Michigan is comparatively new, and
hence her resources of wealth have been
as yet very imperfectly developed. Her
manufacturing establishments are few In
deed compared with those of Eastern
States. Her commerce is quite limited.
And even her agricultural operations have
necessarily been conducted on a scale far
less munifcent than those Of our Prairie
States, from the fact that much time and
capital are required TO convert the dense
forests into "smiling fields and gardens"
Again, very large class of our citizens
are destitute of any other means than
those afforded as reward of toll and Ia
Dor steadily continued; and all their de-
pendence for the comforts of life, and
moderate competency arises from tho pro-
duct of the soil and the forests that rise
in such stately magnificence every where
around. SO that while the East can look
10 n great variety of resources for an in
crease Of wealth and an almost uninter-
rupted course Of financial prosperity,
Western Michigan is mainly dependent
upon two alone. And il is well known
fact that for tho last two years but little
surplus has been realized from agricultural
operations, and during last year not a
sufiiciency for homo consumption, so that
even Some Of our more extensive farmers
have been compelled to contract debts TO
supply their families with the necessaries
of life.
Again, in numbering operations an
equally discouraging state Of things has
prevailed. Those mill owners who have
continued the manufacture have, in many
instances, done so at loss-whilc others
discontinued business altogether. Now,
with this state of things prevailing, what
course could have been pursued, or what
plan adopted, to make times better and
produce an easier and more abundant cir
culation Of money. Evidently, none.-
But, unmistakablc and certain evidences
Of good not far in the future are plainly
visible. Never were indications Of moro
fruitful season, agriculturally considered,
more cheering than the present, and the
universal language of husbandmen now is
ave are trying 10 see if we can not raise
something thisyear," which augurs astrong
will and unyielding determination to do
all that can be done, TO draw from the
bosom Of mother Earth not only a suffi-
cheney Of her treasured substances for
homo consumption, but surplus to dis
pose Of, the proceeds of which will enable
them once more to stand erect, "free from
incumbrancos."
Again, the numbering interest is assum-
ing n character decidedly favorable TO more
extended operations and more remunera-
tive returns, as the greatly increased and
increasing activity among operations and
dealers surely indicates. Thus with a
degree of industry and the smiles of a
bonefcent Providence upon their labors
the good time so long coming will surely
soon arrive.
Wait a liule longer"

ARE you A GOOD TRMpLARP

1t matters not so much, perhaps, wheth-
er you are or not, IL You are a good, thor
ough-going working advocate Of the tenn
perance reform; only, if you were Good
Templar, you would add the influence of
one more in concentrated action against
great moral evil-and that is the kind of
action we need. An individual may some
times do much single-handed against the
existence Of an evil of small magnitude
in society, but when he comes TO grapple
with monster one, with one possessing
the giant proportions Of Hercules, he
needs "backers," and he will at all times
find them among the Good Templars.
He will not only find said and comfort"
on the part of his fellows, but he will find
thecountenance and hearty cooperation of
woman, whose strong will and persuasive
appeals few men have ever yet been found
ablo to resist.
Now, what are the Good Templars do
ing at Grand Haven? Without subjecting
ourselves TO a penalty for the divulgence
Of tho private matters of the Order we
answer--they are at least trying to nc
complish the following happy results,
which every good and order-loving citi-
zen heartily desires to see existing in COM
munity, with how much success we leave
the observing to decide:
l. A total suppression of the the Ii
quor traffic; closing of every bar; re-
moval of all those decanters and lager
fountains; and an entire discontinuance
of every place where deposit of half a
dime will insure something intoxicating to
drink. Will you assist them in work
so noble and praise-worthy by becoming
one of their number, or otherwise, as you
think your influence will be the moro Of
fectually excrtedl
2. The effectual reformation of the
poor inebriate, by thus removing from his
reach the source Of all his woes, suffer-
ing and infamy; his restoration to socie-
ty rs an honored, Industrious citizen !;
TO his family as beloved husband, kind,
affectionate parent, protector, proyider,
friend. Is not this labor worthy Of en-
couragement9 Will you not give us your
aid in the arduous task, rs a Good Tenn
plar, or otherwise?
8. BY watchfulness, good counsel, and
friendly admonition, save the youthful, as
we'll as the moro mature aged, from fall
ing into the snare that may DO laid TO &C
complish their downfall by the designing
and those destitute of moral worth and
manly principle. Is not this indeed wor-
thy of all commendation-yea, Godlike
Surely, you will not refuse to assist in
this work! You may have son, a broth
er, a friend, for whom the human fowler
may now be spreading his evil net. Join
us and we will assist you in thwarting all
the evil designs that may be formed
against such an one, ere he falls into the
hands of his relentless and ruinous enemy.
The Good Templars meet every Mon
day evening in strong array. But still
there is room and heart large enough for
all. Ladies and gentlemen, please send
in your names. Join our number, and
help us to battle nobly and successfully
for the right, and add to the laurels we
have won for the good already accom-
plished in our village and surrounding
communities.

l. The route by way of Ireland and
Newfoundland, where cable was sue

has failed 10 perform service.
2. The route by way of the Shetland
Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Labrador.
3. The route recently projected by Prof.
MORSE, by way of the Madeira, Canary
and Cape Verde Islands to Brazil, and
thence northerly by way of the West In
dia Islands to the United States.
4. The route through Northern Asia,
from Moscow to the mouth of the Amor
River, thence by the Alentian Islands or
Behring's Straits TO the American coast,
thence down the American coast to San
Francisco, and thence across the CONT
nent to the western terminus of our pre-
sent telegraph lines.

on THE RIVER.

We took passage in the steamer Michigan
Capt. GASo, on Friday last, for Grand Haven
The amount of freight shipped by the steamers,
is large, and is tho reason why the boats pay
more than expenses, even during these dull
times. When hard times have ceased TO press
down the energies Of the people of the Grand
River country, there is no doubt that the steam
crs will prove as profitable investments as ever.
The Railroad does not accommodate the South
side of tho river, at all and but partially the
North side, on account Of the distance which the
track was laid from many of the villages located
on Grand River. Steamboats, viii doubtless al
ways run between this city and the lake, on ac-
count Of the above and other reasons.
