An Explicit Statement OF the Diner-
eMCc between the Republicans and
Democrats.
IAN extract from leader in the Cincinnati Conf
The Republicans believe in letting sla-
very stay where it is, and take care OF
itself The Democrats believein agitatlnG
for its pcrmaneuce, and gratifying all its
demands for extension. If there Is any
one thing in our political history clearer
than another, it is that slavery has always
been aggressive, while freedom has always
stood on the defensive. The Democratic
party has always joined the slave interest
in pushing its claims TO new privileges.
This is too familiar a fact to be denied;
and it places the responsibility of the
eternal discussion of ''the negro question"
at once and forever on the shoulders where
it belongs. The demand that slave labor
shall be spread over territories now free,
asserted by the Democracy. necessitated,
in sheer self-defeuse, the existence and the
action of the Republican party. II free
labor WAS to hold its own, If our white
industrial classes were not to be driven TO
the walls by the black, then il is plain to
any man who can reason. that resistance
to the extension of slavery was logical
necessity.

this, they seek not to go. Believing in
the benefits of white labor. they strenu-

looks to the colonizing of the territories
with negro labor.

Mrs. Smith asked-no, she told
her husband, about the arrangement,
and he said:
"Just as yeu like, 1 don't care"
Time wore on. Robert drank and
smoked, and worked; he worked slow,
but he worked sure, for, by and by,
he brought in the new article of par
lor furniture; the contrivances for
saving carpet remnants. Mr.. Smith
thought them good looking; and sent
them up stairs.-Mrs. Smith was de-
lighted with them. "They were
beautiful-just the thing-exactly
what she wanted-such a match to
the parlor carpet, she was really
proud of them" And we may be
allowed to say, proud also Of her
economy of housekeeping. "Some
folks would have wasted that carpet,
or let the moths eat it, or let it lay
around loose, of no use"
By and by, business over in the
shop, Smith came up. Smith must

could not see quite as much beauty
in them as his wife, did; and in fact,
they did not look near as well as they
did when he first saw them, as for
the economy of the thing, that he
couldn't see bit of; but he looked,
and said nothing. He thought
swell they are a woman's bauble

MISCELLANEOUS,
REMARKABLE PROCEEDINGS
MARRIED TO THE WRONG
MAN.

The Port Clinton CO., Democrat
of the 7th, reports the following ex-
traordinary case.
AS we have been informed, quite
an excitement prevails at Plaster
Bed, in this township, owing to the
fact that a young German girl of
that place was unconsciously mar
ried to a young German, of the same
place, on Wednesday evening last,
without her knowledge or consent.
The facts are these: The young lady
was engaged to be married to a
young man whom we will call b.,
and the evening set for the event
was Wednesday last. Accordingly
B. made the necessary preparations,
such as procuring license, &C., and
was to come to this place to have
the matter solemnized. But the
sequel shows that B. had rival in
the affair, whom we will call G. O.
getting wind of what was about to
transpire, came to this place and
procured a license to marry the same
girl. At early evening, and before
B. made his appearance, some friends
of @. who were concerned in the
plot, repaired to the residence of the
lady, who was attired and waiting
for her expectant husband, and in
formed her they were sent to convey
her to Port Clinton, where her hus-
band in expectation was awaiting
her arrival.
She Immediately complied with
the request, and was conducted to
the 'sIsland House," where she wa.
induced by the friends of G. to take
some refreshments in the shape O.

scicus of where she was, or what she
did. Abous this time G. made his
appearance with Justice, and bu

WHEN LADIES SHOULD BE
LOOKED AT.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
thus enlightens the bellies of the
street concerning the iualienable
rights of men to look at their pretty
faces:
"There are some very pretty, but
unhappily very ill-bred women, who
don't understand the laws of the
road with regard to handsome faces.
Nature and custom would no doubt
agree in conceding to males the right
Of at least two distinct looks at every
pretty female countenance, without
any infraction of the rules of cour-
tesy, or the sentiment Of respect.
The first look is necessary to define
the person of the individual one
meets, so as to avoid her in passing.
Any unusual attraction discovered
in frs. glance is sufficient apology
for second-not a prolonged and

'Just under an island, mid rushes

Ne'er suffered the sun to gaze

Where the daisies and violets fair
Were shaking the mist from their

And pouring their breath on the air.

And FURNISHED my tremulous breast!
"My memory can now return to the
time
When the breeze murmured low
plaintive tones,
While I wasted the day in dancing
away,
Or playing with pebbles and stones
"It points to the hour when the rair

Oft resting awhile in the trees;
Then quickly descending it rufled

And whispered to me of the seas!

ting homage of the eyes, such as d
stranger may inoffensively yield to a
passing image. 1t is astonishing
how morbidly sensitive some vulgar
beauties are to the slightest demon
stration of this kind. When a lady
walks the streets, she leaves her
virtuous indignation countenauce at
home; she knows we'll enough that
the street is picture gallery, where
pretty faces framed in pretty faces
framed in pretty bonnets are meant

MRS. SMITHS ECONOMY.

Mrs. Smith was a saving woman.
She was not mean-she was saving.
Mrs. Smith bought new carpet-a
nice carpet "a pretty figured carpet
that cost, we suppose, twelve shil-
lings a yard, herhaps fourteen.
With all due care in buying an ex-
act quantity, there was a remnant
left Of, we should say, somewhere
between yard and yard and a
half. Of course it was not only sa-
we'd, but carefully laid away. Oc-
casionally, in the course of the next
two or three years, Smith saw the
remnant of carpet out for airing. A
bright idea at lenght struck her how
to make something out of it.
Among Smiths customers was a
iourneyman cabinet maker, who low
ed to come in of an evening and en-
joy taste of good old Scotch whis-
key punch, and have chat and a
smoke. Now the bright idea of Mrs.
Smith was, that she would get Bob,
the cabinent-maker, to make her
pair of footstools, ottomans, or some
thing else-little nondescript things,
that the ladies have in parlors-
neither chair, bench nor stool-good
for nothing to sit on, and of no ac-
count for anything else, except to
stumble over. A pair of these she
would have made, and that would
save the remnant of carpet.
So she called him in, told him
what she wanted, and showed him
the piece of carpet saved so long, and
now to be at length appropriated tC
G profitable purpose.
"Yes, it win make very nice tops,
and there is plenty to make large
sized pair. VIII you have them o.
mahogany, black walnut, or rose
wood?"
"She was not particularly she wan

the floor with it in their arms, and
then he would not be within call.
In short, when "the baby" slept,
the whole house was under a spell,
whose enchantment consisted in pro-
found silence an1 unbroken stiffness,
and all who came within the magic
circle were at once laid under the
influence.
On the other hand, when the "ba-
by" was awake, the household vas
equally subject to tyranny which
seemed to be condition of its exis-
tence. If Mr.. Vincent's watch
chain attracted its attention, the
watch must come from the pocket,
and be delivered ever, at the immi-
nent risk and frequent smashing of
crystals and face. If "the baby"
cried for the porcelain vases on the
mantel, or the little Sevres card
baskets on the table, they were i'm
mediately ON the floor or in the crib
beside it, and, soon afterwards, in
manT pieces. If it wanted papa's
papers, either they must be fol thwith
given up, or both baby and mother
would concur in raising domestic
storm. If any important paper, oil
anything else of peculiar value was
missed, when inquiry was made fol
it, the chances were twenty to one
that it had been given to "the baby
and on all such occasions Mr.
Vincent's cEagrin or vexation was
treated with merited Indifference
If, as often happened, after obtain.
ing everything within its mothers
reach, and breaking everything that

THE FIRST BABY.

In novel, "The Glens," recently
published, occurs the following strik-
ing pictures of domestic felicity,
which crusty old bachelors will read
with great interest:
If E'the baby" was asleep no one
was allowed to speak except in a
whisper, on pain of instant banish-
ment; the piano was closed, the
guitar was tabosed, boots were in
terdicted, and the bell was muffied.
If Mr.. Vincent wished to enjoy a
quiet cigar, he must 60 out Of the
house, lest the smoke might hurt
"the baby'-and, lest the street
door might disturb its slumberbers,
he must make his exit by the garden
gate. The doctor was scarcely ever
out of the house; not because "the

alarmingly healthy-but because she
was afraid it might be taken with

THE POWER OF SILENCE.

4 good woman in New Jersey was
sadly annoyed by termigant neigh
Dor who often visited her and pro-
voked a quarrel. She at last
sought the counsel Of her pastor,
who added sound common sense to
his other good qualities. Having
heard the story of her wrongs, her
wrcngs, he advised her to seat her
self quietly in the chimney corner
when next visited, take the teigs in
hand, look steadily into the fire, and
whenever hard word came from
her neighbours lips, gently snap the
tongs, without uttering q word.
A day or two afterwards the wo-
man came again to her pastor with
bright and laughing face, to COM
municate the effect of this new anti
dote for scolding. Her troubler had
visited her, and, as usual, commen-
ced her TRADE. Snap, went the
tongs. Another volley. Snap. An
other. still. Snap.-''Why don't
you speak?" said the termigant,
more enraged. Snap. ado speak;
1 shall split ifyou don't speak," nnd
away she went, cured Of her malady
by the magic of silence.
1t is hard work fighting a Quaker,
IL is poor work scolding deaf man
fit is profitless beating the air. One
sided controversies do not last long
and generally end in victory for TIL
silent party.
