Since the loss of Connecticut by the Demo-
cratic party the editor of the New Haven Daily
Register has lost all confidence in the power OF
money. Hear how wisely he desconts thereup-
on:
THE POWER OF MoNEY.-Thc greatest things
which have been done for the world, have not
been accomplished by rich men, or by subscrip-
ton list, but by men generally of small pecuni-
airy means. Christianity was propagated over
half the world by men Of the poorest class; and
the greatest thinkers, discoveries, inventors, and
artists have been men of moderate wealth,
many of them little raised above the condition
of manual laborers in point of worldly circum-
stances. And it will always be so. Riches are
oitener an impeachment than stimulus of action,
and in many cases they are quite as much a
misfortune as blessing. The youth that in
herits wealth, is apt to have life made too easy
for him, and he soon grows stated with it be-
cause he has nothing left to desire. Having no
especial object to struggle for, he finds time
hangs heavy on his hands he remains morally
and spiritually asleep; and his position in So
ciety is often no higher than that of polypus
over which the tide floats.

DOUGLASS PROSPECTS FOR THE CHARLES
TON NoMINATIoN.--Fro a Washington CORES
pondent who seems pretty well posted upon the
party manGuvers of the approaching campaign
we have the following views as to the prospects
of Mr. Douglas =
"The proceedings at Charleston will be likely
to open new paths for marking old points.
Douglas must be entirely out of the question,
as l conceive. If he can be nominated, then
he is beyond doubt, the nearest an Immortal
man Of whom we have any account. Who has
ever succeeded in the Democratic party with
Democratic administration and Il united South
together against him when the North itself was
dividedP The heart, the vital organs of that
party being in the Sonth, they have always been
able to prevent a nomination distasteful to them
Van Buren, carried the whole North to Balti-
more in n, and yet they chrushed him with
very great ease. Douglas is doomed man.
He had the Presidency within his grasp at one
time, but he lacked the courage to take advan-
tage of surroundings. Had he been such n
man as Broderick was he would have raised
the banner of rebellion SO high, and marched
with so bold and firm step, that he would have
forced compliance. But that chance is gone,
and forever. The weakness that destroyed him
is needless distemper of the North 1t is
infectious, and has inundated thousands. Our
air needs publication, and a strong Norther this
fall might do the work"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1860-04-14

labor cannot supply. But the author of the
address is very sanguine on the subject, and
thus towards the close of his remarks gives the
final touch to the description of the character
and qualities of fbriia: -
"Flax was originally the leading product of
fbrous substances. 1t stepped aside for anoth-
er plant to pass, that the great but hidden merit
of its intrinsic worth should but shine the more
by its refraction. Patriarchs and prophets,
priests and kings, have found their nantes in
its CLOTH from the hidden ages of the past to
the present time. Egypt, Greece, Rome, and
Britain have acknowledged its WORTH and have
crowned its use with freedoms mantle.
1t has now come to us in new face, with a
new, though more natural structure. Its form
has been mistaken for three thousand years, and
it stands revealed to you tonight in its own in
dividual beauty. Its rights will be asserted all
over the world, and wherever it goes it will
shine. This is no unnatural birth. 1t comes
freely and simply. Nature has not been dis
turbed, she has simply reproduced herself in
shedding an artificial world and in taking on
the one you see tonight. The machines for the
manufacture of the fibre from the straw to Cot
ton, [fibrilial were made in your own State, and
by your own citizens. We simply ask you TO
improve your own lands, and your own wealth
thereby. The profits are yours, the honor is
yours, and Heaven multiply the increase"

The TABLES TuRNED.-Our readers may re-
member that Miss Carstang, year or more
since, recovered 100000 of Mr. Shaw of St.
Louis, as damages for breach of promise of
marriage. The sum awarded by the jury was
so exorbitantly large that the verdict was set
aside and new trial granted, which has just
taken place and which resulted in verdict for
the defendant. A year since and the broken
hearted maiden was quite licness now she
has left the court with damaged reputation
and with the costs of court to pay. Had the
first verdict been $4,000, or any such reasonable
sum for a rich old gentleman to pay, there would
probably have been the end of the case. The
result shows that law is uncertain and junes
more so. 1t was Daniel Webster, we believe,
who remarked that there were but two powers
or forces recognised of men concerning the OPP
erations of which some reasonable degree of
certainty in their results could not be predica-
ted. The two which baflled human wisdom
were first, the DEGREES of Providence, and Sec
ond, the findings of petit jury.

One of the New York papers publishes the
following advertisement:
"WANTED TO RENT-By he Rev. Henry
Highland Garnet, pastor of the Shiloh Presby-
terrain Church, a colored gentlaman, small,
genteel House, at rent of not more than
S500.-This gentleman has called at fifteen
houses, having bills on them, and has been in
voriobly assured "not for niggers or colored
people" The subscriber desires to know if
there is sufficient religion humanity, and courte-
sy in New York to answer favorably at No. SO
Laurens street." (.
The Buffalo Courier commenting on the above
says:
"The fact thus stated affords an illustration
of the hypocrisy of the politicians who are con-
tinually preaching abot negro equality. They
are willing that negroes should vote, but they
refuse to rent them houses they are anxious to
class them as brothers at the polls, but decline
to afford them a roof for shelter, even for $500
year."
The fact thus stated shows something else
besides. 1t shows to what degree of liber-
atty the public mind in the United Estates has
become reduced through the power and infu-
ence of the Oligarchy. In no part of Europe
would negro be refused the liberty to rent
house merely because he is negro. Slavery
don't stop at the frontiers of slave state; it
ensaves the mind wherever its influence ex-
tends and it is this enslavement, this lliber-
ality, this want of manly generosity, this mar
row, contracted humanity of beli:tling ten
denotes that the Republican party wishes to
free itself from. 1t seeks to throw off the
shackles which an imperious, dictatorial oligar-
chy has imposed upon it and limit their use to
those localities where such constraints are still
considered as blessings. There is no hypOcricy
in our contempt of the African in the United
States. 1t is lesson which has been studous-
ly taught us by our Democratic rulers for many
long years, and which has been incueated with
only too much success.

just been published by ]. T.. Tilton & Co. 1t
is drawn in Grozeler's best style, and printed

the bare feet Swallowed in the water among the
pond lilies the winding river, the distant hills
and the white village, with the high spire rising
in the midst, form a delightful and summerish
whole, that brings us back to barefoot boyhood
