nations to speculate in paper towns aud mushS
room villages Towns will then only grow up
from the healthy impulse Of nativial necessity,
aud not by the destructive process Of svpricious
greediness. II will settle the country first and
build up towns afterwards, the only sound snd

also enable the government to sell the inter-
veninR sections, to reimbuue itself for The orig.
inal expenditure, and thus become Just and
equitable to those who do not avail themselves
Of the benefits Of this measure.
IN regard as to whom the grant is to be ex-.
tended, the House bill contains very obnox-
iOus clause, 1t includes every person, male
or female, married or single, Of the age Of 81
years or more, This is wrong. It ought to
be confined, as the Senate bill confines 1t. to
heads Of fsmilies alone II would lead me too
far were to give all the reasons why this pros
vision Of the House bill Is wrong; they are
many and weighty. For brevity's sake will
allude TO bot one. IL offers a bounty Of 100
acres of land to the severance Of marital relaA
tions. To one who like me believes that the
family is the first foundation Of the State and
that the sanetity of its relations, it's benign in,
huence and true appreciation Of it's impor.
lance are the sureSt guaranty of the general
welfare Of the community, this reason will be
convincing. He who SCOTS and mocks at all
these things, will be unable to comprehend the
weight of the objection.
Iu one particular the Senate bill is also obiec.
tionable. II confines the benefits Of the act to
citizens and to those who are nOp residents Of
the United States and cuts off all future immi.
grants. This provision is illiberal and ought
to be amended. With the word "now" in the
sixth section Of the Senate bill stricken out. il

For the SDeet0sog


Messrs. Editors BE pleased to permit me to
say that | ain not at all surprised at the result
of the late election of Clerk for the Circuit
Court
James Cochran, ESQ.,, one of the competitors
for the office, treated the canvass as continue
tion of the one of 1885, and raised afresh the
issues made in that contest with the late Clerk.
They were of serious character, excited deep
feeling, and reduced the contest down to Messrs.
Cochran and Kinney
was at but one farmhouse in the county
during the canvass, and at that the wife of the
owner was relation to my family. l was at
several of the villages to know who could send
my tickets to for distribution, then had them
printed, and forwarded by mail. I uttered not
word, either for or against single candidate
for any of the offices, during the canvass; all
said was that they were gentlemen as far as /
knew. Invariably even refused to say any
thing as to their relative strength in the can
yass. The Democracy thought, as we'll as the
Opposition, that had Offices enough already: a
practicing lawyer, one of the Deputy Marshals of
the Western District, and the Census taker for
the county and in this, am free to confess,
there was great deal of weight. l am proud
and grateful to know that not word was ut.
tered against my character in the canvass but,
on the contrary, there was general expression
OF confidence in, and sincere kindness towards
me, as many good men have SINCE assured me.

The Cry of "No Chance"

The Louisville Journal says some persons who
avowedly wish success to the National Conserv-
atiye Ticket. bat who are of rather respondent
temperament, permit themselves to be halt per-
suaded that we have no chance OF success Inns
is all wrong. very wrong The view taken is
wholly incorrect. A conservative sentiment,
powerful and deep, is at work in nearly or quite
every State of the Union. The Baltimore A
merican reminds the timid portion of the con-
seryatiyes that there are seventy five thousand
national men in New York, eighty thousand IN
the New England States, and one hundred
thousand in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sew. Nine hundred thousand lnen voted fol
Fillmore and Donelson in 1856, and three hun
dred and fifty thousand preferred the former te
Fremont or Buchanan, but voted for one or the
other of the last two because they thought Fill
more had no chance. Add all these together
and we have a vote exceeding Fremonts Id ioo'
by at least four hundred thousand votes. II th'
timid conservative men will remember these
facts, and add them TO other and important 1act
that the Democracy is torn by all manner o
dissentions. that the Administration is odious
and that the known sectionalism OF the Eepnp
sicans has rendered them impotent; and If in al
dition to this the central body guard CT conserv
atism-mea who are conservative at all time
aid in all places, irrespective of all parties what
ever. and careless of all things save the Repub
lief these last can be aroused to thu certalnt
that radicalism is no pigmy in this country, ou
a youthful giant, pert, strong, working, defiant
boastful, fearless-if these two classes can be en-
listed by the considerations We have nance
then. indeed, the proves and prosperity of til
Union party will be ensured beyond per-adver
ture. and the establishment of the Govern
nent in 1860 in its pristine dignity and purt
will follow as matter of course.

The ExoELLENoY OF OUR TIoKET.-That able
and staunch conservative Journal, the Boston
Courier, says that the nomination of Bell and
Everett addressed itself at once to the reasonable
convictions of the people, and was accepted with
earnest and sincere congrstulation, by honest
men who seek the peace and safety of the coun-
try, in an honorable and splendid administration
Of its government. Being soberly and Justly
founded on principle, it will grow more and
more in favor, and will work its own way into
the minds and hearts of the people. Noisy and
artificial demonstrations may attend such nomi.
nations as those offered at Chicago-though as
yet we have seen no evidence of any very ardent
enthusiasm in any quarter, and least of all here
but all this must soon exhaust itself, for want
OF any real vitality. Truth is great, and will
prevail-whle false pretence must stink back
into that obscurity from which the pretenders
have unwisely dragged them to the.uncongenial
light.

For the Spectator

'Ok<OOesx0VSs
Editors Spectator Having been informed,
from various sources, that q phrase in the last
communication of Junius had been construed
differently from the intention of the author it
should be, wish to correct that impression. It
is in regard to the closing phrase of the third
paragraph from tie end.
The whole article was hnrriedly gotten up,
and handed into the Office on Tuesday, the 10Th,
to ensure its insertion with other communion
tons. On Thursday, the 18th, I addressed a
note to the Editors of Spectator, to erase that
portion. which, upon reflection, thought might
be misconstrued. The friend to whose care my
note was sent did not receive it until Monday,
the 21st; upon going to the Office then, be found
the paper was already in press. | wish also to
state now that no part of any of those communi
cations was ever intended to reflect upon the
honesty of N. @. Kinney, decd. This explana-
ton is entirely voluntary, as an act of justice
due those affected by the misconstruction.

SARzA.-We have long supposed this celebra.
ted drug, had come 10 be an exploded humbug
but we are assured by those skilled in the healing
art, that not the Sarsaparla itself is to be blan.
ed for this conclusion, but the miserable worth
less preparations Of it, thar have been palmed of
upon the community-pr preparations which con-
tain about as much of its virtues as they do oil
gold dust. It is commercial fact that almost
ell OF the Sarsaparilla gathered in the world, is
consumed in the old countries of Europe, where
the science of medicine, has reached its highes,
perfection, and where they know the best what
to employ for the mastery of disease Hence
we are glad to find that we are now to have q
compound of this excellent alternative, which car
be relied on, and our community will not need
to be assured that anything DIR. AVER makes, is
worthy of their confidence. He has been fol
years engaged in eliminating this remedy (see
adv'g cols,) designing to make it his '.chef d
ouure," which should add the crowning.g glory to
his already enviable reputation 6sgt

THEY SooRN THE PRoPosITIoN-We see by
our exchanges that Yancey and Rhett scorn the
dishonorable and humiliating proposition to re-
tnrn to the Baltimore Convention, and seek adj
mission at the hands of those whose fellowship
they repndiated at Charleston. Their sense of
honor and propriety recoils st the base sugges-
ton. The same platform against which they
rebelled, still remains the established creed of
the party. They cannot return without admit
ting they were wrong in seeding, and if they
make this humiliating admission, how dare they,
in the presence OF the assembled multitude that
will be at Baltimore, hold out, with faclious
opposition to the majority, and again secede,
and thereby break up the Convention for adher-
ing to the same platform p Wash. States.

Something MoRE."-A letter from Provi-
dence in the New York Times, puts down that
State as doubtful between Douglas and Lincoln.
The same letter adds of Bell and Everett:
mo two men are more respected for their
eminent abilities, their worth and integrity, and
the valuable services which they have rendered
the country. They are both patriots and will
ever be regarded with warm admiration by the
people of the North and South. But at this day
it requires something more than these qualities
to ensure political success and to be popular with
the Masses"
"No men more respected" 'eminent abi-
ties, "worth eDd integrity, valuable services"
and yet something more is wanted. Pray,
what is that something's If SUCH qualities will
not ensure political success, will "nlaullng Dem
ocrats, splitting rails, or putting Sambo above

Mr.. BELLS OPINIoNs.-We point Virginians
and Southerners, of all parties and persuasions,
to the recorded opinions of John Bell, on the
subject of slavery. No charge of unsoundness,
on the "vital ISSUE" can be laid at his door,
he is not only sound, but he occupies ground,
in relation to the moral, economical and politi-
Cal aspect of African slavery, as it exists in the
Southern States of this Union, which places him
far above and beyond even the breath of suspi-
cion. Nor are his opinions on this subject OF
recent formation; but they are the Identical O.
pinions, which he has held and boldly proclaim
ed throughout the whole course of his political
life, which has extended through period of up
wards of thirty years.-RicA. Wing.

CANES FROM OLD ABE's RAHs.-An enter
prising individual OF Boston has secured one OF
the identical rails which Mr.. A. Lincoln split,
and proposes to make it into canes and sell them
at considerable profit. The Boston Transcript
says the number of rails which it will be claimed,
before the election takes place, that Lincoln has
made, with his own hand, would suffice to fence
in the whole State of Illinois; and the canes
which will be offered to the public as having
originally passed under the supervision of the
Republican candidate for the Presidency, would

An amusing lncldent occurred at Mr.. Blunt'e

on Saturday evening, which caused much com.

DEATH OF LADY BYRoN-We learn By the
Glasgow that on the 18th ult Lady Byron, the
widow of the great poet died at London, in the
|sixty-sixth year of her age. She was born in the
year 1894, and was the only daughter and heir
OF Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, Baronet. In 1856
she succeeded to the barony of Wentworth. She
was married to Lord Byron in 1815-the union
proving, as is we'll known, most unhappy to both
husband and wife, as he lived with his wife
only some thirteen days. The marriage was
one prompted by motives of interest
