The Union Savers met at Baltimore
and nominated, for President, john
BELL Of Tennessee, and for Vice Presi-
dent, EDWARD EVERETT of Mass. They
made no platform, but passed a rcsolu-
tion endorsing the Constitution, the
absurdity Of which will be apparent to
every one when he reflects that all par
ties profess to be devoted to the Consti-
tuition and Union. The Seccdcrs from
tho Charleston Convention will be lust
as loud in their cxutation of the Consti-
tuition as the Republicans So We cannot
see wherein any preference should be
given to the Baltimore nominees. 1t

Judge because he is spend ns the peo.

Court House This may be all right,
but we know tina. in these "hard times"
private citizens have to rctrench in their
expenses, and delay contemplated i'm
provements, and we cannot see why the
course necessary for a private citizen is
not just as necessary for the County
Dictator, especially when no loss can re-
suit from a delay. The Democrat and
Democrats, as we'll as others, have COM
planned of high taxes and we expect that
ere three months shall pass away we shall
hear much, III regard to Republican ex-
travagance,' from Democratic organs
and speakers. Taxpayers should bear
in mind that the great bulk of their taxes
result, not from their State taxes, but
from their county and other local taxes
We should like, if it was right, to have
the County Judge pave all our street,
and sidewalks, but as it is not right, WI
do not think it expedient especially whcr
no other block in town has a haygce

PAPERING RooMs.-The Scientific american
remarks that many lives have been lost from
the carelessness ignorance of paper hangers,
who have laid one paper above another, in
stead OF tearing off the old before hanging the
new. There was very handsome house near
one of our best provincial towns, which could
never keep its tenants. A ready-witted OBJ
server promised the owner to find out the
cause. He traced the mischief to one room,
and presently coDjectured what was the mat
ter there. He let slip of glass into the wall,
and found it next day dimmed with foetid.
condensed vapor. He tore down a strip of
paper, and found abundant cause for any a.
mount of fever. For generations the walls
had been prepared afresh, without the remo-
val of anything underneath. And there was
the putrid size and the fermenting old paper
inches deep! A thorough clearance, scraping
and clearing put an end to the fever, and re-
stored the value of the house.

DEMocRArIc DoornINE.-Beni. II. Brewster

DEMOCRATIC DoorRINE.-Benj. II. Brewster,
a leading Democratic lawyer of Philadelphia,
in public speech made few days ago, gave
the following opinion of human slavery:
''Then, say again that which have before
said, this institution of domestic seTvitude is
great political necessity, social and CONNER
cia necessity; and 1 will also add that firmly
believe it to be politically right, socially right,
and morally right. IL is the ia,o of God, as 1Ueil
We have not seen this doctrine disavowed
in any Democratic paper, but it has been pub
lished with commentator in many of them.
We must therefore accept it as part of the
democratic creed, that slavery is s'the taU Of
God as well as the law of man.

AN EXPENSIVE Law SUIT.-The st. Louis
Democrat states that Mr.. Shaw, in defending
himself in the great breach of promise case
brought by Miss Carstang, paid the sum of
1925 for single deposition taken in New
York, and that he paid the expenses of a wit
ness from Charleston to st LOUIS, her support
since the 9th of January, and her expenses
back to Charleston. Various other large sums
were paid to secure the attendance of witness
ses from distance, to say nothing of heavy
fees to lawyers, constables, &c. Other in
stances afford an example OF the use of money,
though it is due to truth to say there is not a
syllable in all the evidence read on the trial,
indicating improper use of wealth to pro-
cure testimony.

The question of itinerancy in the Methodist
Church is elaborately discussed by Rev. DR..
Curry in the Independent. The Methodist de-
nomination are considering the expediency of
extending the term during which minister
may remain in the same place. and the subject
is to be brought to the notice of the next gen.
eral Conference. DR.. Curry, after careful
review OF the arguments for and against the
project OF extension, considers that the pres
ent arrangement will be so modified that the
maximum of three years. pastorate will be
allowed, as measure at once desirable and
safe. Such as are asking for more will accept
this, hoping hereafter to gain all they ask !;
and those who deprecate any change will yield
so much, hoping that this concession will sat-
isfy.
