THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK>-Ihe
Memphis Enquirer, edited by Jere
Clemens and, Solon BorIand. both
formerly United States Senators.
thus speaks of the John Brown af~
fair and the efforts of the Democratic
party to make political capital out Of
it. 1t is the right kind of talk.
If John Brown and bis whole gang,
and all the slaves he could have in
duced to join him, we're to-day loca-
ted in the heart of Memphis, they
could not disturb its peace for six
hours. In less time than that they
would be hung, and their bodies
thrown into the Mississippi, without
calling to our aid single man be-
yond the corporate limits cf the city.
The Richmond Enquirer has par
~ purpose to subserve, and 1T may
suit that purpose to try to create an
alarm in the country, but sensible men
will laagh at the idea that twenty five
desperados have it in their power to
sap the foundations of this Govern
mont. 1fthe Enquirer will convince
US of that fact we will heartily join
with it to break up the Union to-
morrow, and establish q more stable
one in its stead.
Upon the whole our decided opin-
ion is, that Democratic editors gener-
ally are doing their best to convert
a tragedy into farce The voice of
party should be silent over the graves
of the brave men who fell-in defence
of the laws, and in view of the scaf-
fold which looms up for'their murder
ers. Worse still is the affected fear
of disunion from SO insignificant a
cause 1t makes men smile who
would be grave and disturbs the sor-
row which belongs to the dead by OBJ
truding upon our vision a living pic
ture of Bombastes. Let us weep for
the departed as we ought-punish
the living as they deserve, and then
dismiss it from our minds as one of
those sad occurrences of which the
depravity of human nature has fur
nished SO many examples, and which
no human law has ever yet been able
to restrain.

The Democratic journals of the
North are adroitly attempting to cast
upon the Republican party The damn
able o,lium of having melted the bar
per's Ferry insurrection; and they will
attempt to make political capital out
of it, for the coming campaign for the
Presidency.
The sober second thought of the
country, however, will place the
blame where it rightly belongs. This
unfortunate-this sad and bloody ca
lamity. is the legitimate result of the
continued agitation of the slavery
question which has been the life-blood
Of the democracy for the past eight
or ten years. They are always re-
solving that they will not counte-
nance the discussion of this question,

hC"lO C"t~b uep sCd'C CD SieNtiy i'S
free speech prcpensities of certain in
dividuals who have passed over the
Henness and Placerville routes, and
who presume to give the preference
to the former. Some gentleman who
seems TO be well posted writes to the
Marysville Express about the rival
routes and by comparison the Pac-
erville line suffers. The Union takes
him to do about i, in the issue of Mon
day last.
The Union has been the consistent
advocate of the PlacervjIfe route
since 1854, and it cannot be expected
that that paper will discard a six
years fav oriie for any other. 1t is
too conservative for that. 1t has
lashed the State into a favoritism for
the PlaccrviIle route and when SUI
perior route asserts its claims, it cries:
hands off-no inv;dious comparisons 4!
Now, unless more than forty men
who have tried both the Henness and
Placerville routes lie most outrage>
ously the former is beyond compare
son the best either for summer or win
ter travel. In fact we have never
seen one solitary individual who has
passed the mountains both ways who
does not unhesitatingly pronounce in
favor ofthe Henness line and we
presume in the two years past We
have conversed with not less than
one hundred persons on this point
The party just returned from the sill
yer mines has furnished us with cor
ioborative testimony. They passed
over the Henness route and returned
via Placerville. The reason for re-
turning by the latter route is because
on the Henness route the houses by
the road side are as yet farther apart
requiring too long stretches of travel
without rest, and because large droves
of stock had been driven in from Car
son Valley by way of Placerville
whieh had opened the road. We
are assured that but for this stock the
road from Placervile would have
been scarcely passable.
All who have been the Placervill c
route, whom we have seen, unite in
saying the road runs over chop hills,
and into small hollows, up and down
continually, along precipices, and is
sideling, and disagreeable if not dan
gerous while the He3ness road is a
smooth, even one almost the entire
distance. Once the ascent being
made, which is not difficult, and no
better place for road can be found.
AS for the SHOWS those who have
tried both routes report but little diff
ference in the quantity fallen at both
points. The Henness road however
has no hollows to be filled with drifts
The snow when fallen remains, and
when a track is made it is not liable
to be obliterated by winds, or at least
not likely to be covered up to the
depth Of twenty feet.
The coming summer will demon
strate the relative values of the rival
routes, however:
