TIE GABBLE or THE UNION.
BREAKERS.

Mr. Calhoun was very able man, bat Slavery,
which includes meaner intelects in one general
dtbauchery did not spare even bs. He was inca
pabe of saying what he did not believe, but he
was incapable also and very often of dstn gushing
between sound and a sophi,tcal premise His
temper, We think, was not very unequsble; and
yet he was sometimes betrayed in the heat Of de-
bate and through the poverty OF his resources into
saying things which coming ffon other lips would
have been aughable. The vice of paradox had
pretty complete possession OF MS mind, and kept IL
without any violation Of natural laws; for those
who act continually up1n the defensive, and plant
themselves upon s,eci,ms, have no resort bat
strategy, and that of no high or scientific charac-
ter Thus Mr. Calhoun could not have been think
ing either accurately or calmly hen be sad 10 Mr.
John Quincy Adams that if the discussion Of the
slave question should produce dissolution Of the
Union. which be thought not improbable, " the
. South would, ffOm necessity, be compelled 70
" form an alliance, offensive and defensive, with
" Great Britain" This remark, which was sn
exceedingly weak one when il was made in leo,
add long before the question Of The Abolition If
Slavery had asi'ated the Imperial Parliament
would sill lees bear sober repetition today; and
YET this childish presumption, which Is half Il
threat and half wild hope me 3elusion OF despair,
ia repeated in psrro like way BY the present feeble
generation Of slave owners, who, catching also at

Abolition Talk.

A State Anti Slavery Convention was
held at Albany, N. Y, on the first inst.
at which a number of speeches were
made, and resolutions adopted. The fol-
lowing is one of the resolutions, which
we copy TO show how fanatical, and unde-
serving the name of, and unworthy pro-
lection as American citizens, some men
can render themselves:
ResolUed, That in the dissolution of the
Union, abolitionists are justified by every
precept of the Gospel. every principle Of
morality, and every claim of humanity
that such Union is a covenant with death
which ought to be annulled, and an agree.
ment with hell which a just God canno
permit to stand, and it is the paramount
duty Of all to seek its immediate over
throw.
They then quote the language of VIM
H. Seward respecting the irrepressiblt
conflict between the slave and free States
and found on that a resolution that any
party is unworthy of confidence, no mat
ter what its professions, if it refuse to at
tack the institution Of slavery itself.

Hard Times All the West.

Mr.. S. S. Keyes, of Jefferson County,
Wis, has written to the Hon. Charles
Billinghurst, a Republican member of
Congress from hat State, requesting Mr..
B. to procure for him an ofice-any office
in fact-under the Buchanan Administra-
ton. At the same time Mr.. Keyes avows
himself a Republican, and says he is COM
PEELED to resort to this course to support
his family. The family of Mr.. Reyes
have our profoundest sympathy. Their
prospects of support must be small in
deed. .oE .ciJ3I
1t is difficult to believe that in the pre-
sent state Of politics, an opponent of the
Administration should expect an office at
its hands. The time for such events has
gone by. And yet this Mr.. Reyes would
seem to be in earnest. But whatever may
be thought of his v~erdancy, there can be
no doubt that his application. is the most
convincing evidence yet presented of hard
times in the Western States. When Re.
publicans are driven to beg office of Buch.
anan to sustain their families, things mus
have touched bottom.-N. Y. Times.

Decds from ~Pre.emntOrS.

The SupfemerC Court of Minnesota has
decided that a deed made by a pre-emptor
at any time before the entry and receipt
or his duplicate certificate from the Dis
trict Land Office, is avalid deed, and con-
veys the fee simple to the purchaser
The case before the court was this;
Anson Northrup in 1856 pre-empted
40 acres and a fraction in Minneapolis,
embracing the ST. Anthony Falls water
power on the west side of the river, now
of immense value. He sold and convey
ed this property by a w%arrantee deed to
Isaac Atwater, whore-conveyed the pro-
perty again TO Hon: Robert Smith, of IL
linois, and others, composing the Minnea-
polls Water Power Company. After the
issuance of the patent, Northrup again
made deed of conveyance to George A.
Camp, who, accordingly entered into pos
session of certain lots in Minneapolis laid
out on a portion of the property pre-emp-
ted. Smith brought a suit in the District
Court to eject him, and gained the cause
in that Court. The case was appealed
to the Supreme Court with the result
above stated. 1t was contended by the
defence that the conveyance by Northrup
to Atwater was void by the act of Con-
gress 1S41, which declares that any as
signment or transfer of pre-empted land
before the actual issuance of the patent
shall, be absolutely void. The Courts held
otherwise, and the Minneapolis Water
Company was put into full possession of
its valuable properly.

WhE Donglas Went to Havana.

The Free Trader, a paper away off in
Natchez, MISC has discovered the cause
of Senator Douglas recent visit to the is
land of Cuba. 1t says: jdL
His visit to Cuba was solely to establish
an entente cordidle with the Havanese,
that they might come into the Union af-
ter 1850, as they must, if the annexation
is not sooner accomplished in a quiet or
friendly way, or, from personal observa-
ton, become acquainted with their
strength and condition, their means of de-
fence, and the extent Of their belIicosltv,
in order that when the power becomes
his, be may, by-bold, prompt, and efficient
measures, accomplish by a coup de main
what the idle diplomacy of the present
and past puts at a greater distance from
US, and renders US almost, if not quite,
contemplate, as a nation, in the eyes Of
the world.

E. A. Muir returned TO this city from
the gold mines with oxen quicker than
the triphas ever been made on any other
route with mules or horses.

The same paper in another article
states the time in which Mr.. Muir made
the trip was thirty days. In reply to the
above we have only to say that Messrs.
Lawrence, Kunkle, Winner, and Hall, left
the gold mines taCo days after Mr.. Muir,
and reached Brownville eight days before
he reached Nebraska City, making the
trip in twenty days. Only ten days diff
ference! that's all.

FnnTpeedentpd Verdaney.

Messrs. PHILLIPs, SAMPSON & Co, a
Book Publishing House of Boston, Mass,
sent US for publication, two advertis-
ments, each to be accompanied by an
editorial notice Of about one square. One
Of these advertisements would, at the.
regular advertising rates Of our paper
as well as all Others in the West-amount
to s~irfy-tr0 dollars, and the other forty
seUen dollars for one insertion. For this
service rendered the said publishing
house, they kindly offer US a copy each Of
the books advertised, on the following
very liberal terms: One of the-books re-
tails for l,75; this zee cal have for 81.
The other retails for 1925, bat zee can
have It for the small sum Of 60 cents.
There is hberality and enterprise for
you, rarely TO be met with! We wonder
if the press IN the immediate vicinity of
this book publishing house have been as
literally dealt with as is proposed to US
Western editors and publishers! or are
we peculiarly favored?
The modus operandi by which this ex-
ceedingly shrewd business house propose
10 secure advertising on the above men.
toned terms, is this: They select an In
complete, and perhaps the most interest
ing chapter from the book they have fol
sale, preface it with a notice stating tina
it is an extractfrom a certain book, pub
lished by a certain house, in a certain
city, and can be had for a certain price
lxhis, printed on a convenient slip fo'
compositors, is sent cut to the pres
throughout the country, with the ide;
that it will be published; the reader be
come interested in the story, and send 70
the book. This mode of advertising j
good enough; but men only ought t
adopt it who have soul and literally I
carry it out better.
4 We tell Philips Sampson Go, if the
wise to advertise with us, they can do 81
and we will be pleased with their patror
Lage; and if any particular object to then
we will take a portion or ever all the pa
in good readable books. But if they thin
we will advertise for them to the amour
Iof one hundred and mine dollars, and TAX
one dollar and sirty cents in books as pa
. in full, they must be unprecedented
verdant, or imagine Western editors al
publishers are.
