In nothing does the native love Of money
show itself SO plainly as 10 common busi-
ness transactions. In all bargains the native
is all intent on gaining the advantage. To
do this hs will tell any amount Of lies, and
even perjure himself without the least hesi.
tation. 1t is impossible to make them think
that lying is dishonorable. No man con-
siders himself insulted when called liar,
nor does he care the least if the charge is
proved on him. You may prove clearly to
native that he is a rogue, q cheat and a
liar, and he vii laughin.yoor 6aoe hnd tell
you that he is just like all the rest.

Mr.. Bell is II good man, has long served

Just think of the present. Our nation
dsgruced by corrupt legislation, bankrupt
through Governmental extravaganza, our
'octo.ies iJie, agriculture depressed, "a lack
of spirit in all drpirtments of business,
thousands OF laboring men thrown out of
employ, and others working for reduced
wages. 4 more deplorable condition has
not b On known for twenty IyeSs. Twenty
wears ago il had lis remedy, and we propose
the same to-day.
IN the political uptecedents of BELL and
Lincoln wc find no difference except upon
one question. They were both Whigs.-
They both revcred that champion OF whg.
cry Henry Clay. They were both tariff
men. They both have always been true to
the Constitution and the laws. They bave
always stood up as m1des of integrity, not
ony as private men, but as oliliciaDs, but
as we have sid, upon one question they dif.
fercd They both agree upon the question
Of Congressional power 10 prohibit slavery
ia the Territories, but they differ as to what
results that power should effect. Mr.. Bel
is STAKEHOLDER, believes the institution
morally right, while Mr.. Lincoln holds nj
slaves und believes the institution morally
wrong and dstrimen,al to the interests 0
the nation.
