ELooUENcE.-Editor Geo. w. Allen is a candidate for county surveyor, in one of the counties of Missouri He should be elected. Too many of us, we fear, have un- dervalued the importance, the responsbili ties and the dangers of the office of county surveyor. George has issued circular setting all these forth. We make an extract therefrom:
 1t requires industry, skill, judgment and an inhexible determination to do what is right. The surveyor must be prepared for exposure to the chilling blasts of win ter, to the scorching rays of summer sun; he must force his way through thickets where insinuating ticks abound; and wade through swamps, where multiplied swarms of gnats and musquitoes will seek his blood; he may be famed by the upfettered breezes that sweep over our extended prairies; or he may breathe the miasmatic exhaltation from decaying vegetation on lake or river margin.
 All these, and many other hardships, he must endure, while he keeps steadily in view, the object for which he survevs-to trace, as nearly as possible, the government surveys, and do, as far as practicable, exact justice.''
 Yet he is willing to brave the ticks, gnats, mosquitoes and miasmatic exhalta- tions. Courageous George. We make further extract:
 "I will here remark that the paper which l control shall not be used in this canvass to advance my interests or to prejudice those of my very worthy competitors; that l intend to say or do nothing in 1t that will tead, in the least, to disturb our friendly personal relations"
 Magnanimous George. We shall never look upon 8 county surveyor again without respect. To think of the dangers he en- counters, especially the insinuating ticks, leads one to admire the heroism required in the officer. Editor George has our best wishes for his success and we only wish we had a hundred votes to give him.
 
 Edward Everett and the .Abolitionists
 A New Orleans paper in an article head ed |" Washington and his slaves" has the following:
 "The emancipation of the slave tenantry of Mount Vernon by pater potrie has al ways been the strong card played by the promul gator of abolition ideas, and indeed, has so plausible an appearance of being trump, and the biggest kind of one at that, that 1t IS not surprising that it has often won from the unrehecting acknowledgement of its potency. Mir. Edward Everett, in spirit of as commendable as unexpected nationalism, has heretofore excluded from his famous lecture any reference to this act of Washington, but unable to repress the rising leaven of his nature-or yielding to the solicitations of abolition confederates- the orator has authorized the announcement that at the repetition of the address in New York in May next he will ring in the eman- cipation affair and patriotically' enlarge upon it. Consequently, the northern press IS ecstatic."
 The writer then goes on to show the req soHS anu luOllNcS tHat lUIlucHCcu w dSHlUS- ton, which were as widely different from the spirit of abolitionism of our day, as good is from bad As the speech cannot be reported, owing to the legal restrictions thrown around it, we hope that synopsis of Everett's remarks in that connection will be given, to show the people of the south how he panders to the black republicans of the north.
