OLD MAIDs.-A sprightly writer ex-
pressed his opinion of old maids in the fol-
lowing manner:
II am inclined to believe that many of
the satirlcal aspersipns cast upon old maids,
tell more TO their credit than is generally
imagined. Is woman remarkably neat in
her person, she will certainly die an old
maid Is she particularly reserved toward
the other sex, she has all the squeamishness
Of an old maid Is she frugal in her ex-
penses and exact in her domestic concerns
she is cut out for an old maid And if she
is kindly humane to animals about her. moth
ing can save her from the appellation of
old maid In short, have always found
that neatness, modesty, economy and hu-
manity are never failing characteristics of
that terrible creature, an odd maid

ment Of this emigrant agency commission at
New York nor could the position have been
filled better than it is. It promises to be
literally of untold benefit to the State.
A short time since, at the request of Mr..
Rusch, we urged the people of every county
to send him full statistics of everything ap-
pertaining to the physical nature of their
county, with number of population, towns,
&c. Mr.. Rusch now desires us to request
that he may, soon As possible, be furnished
with map of every county. He finds they
are almost indispensable in furnishing emil
grants with desirable information. So far "a
possible these maps should have on them the
names Of the owners of property, but that is
not absolutely necessary. 1t is important to
the interests Of every county that the Com
missioner should be supplied with full infor-
nation as to everything appertaining to il

Cincinnati Gazette from Washington, Of the

"The Republicans are generally pleased
with the nomination Of Lincoln. Mr.. Stewards

New England representatives are satisfied.

How THE CRowD At CHICAGO BENEFITTED
TIE O1rr.-The Chicago Journal says the
number Of strangers in that city, last week, is
variously estimated At from fifty to one
hundred thousand; fifty thousand, it thinks,
comes nearest the mark. Estimating that
each of these fifty thousand persons spent on
an average $40, it sets down the amount Of
money left in the city by the crowd at
$500, 900, exclusive Of the heavy bills Of goods
purchased by country merchants at wholesale
houses, which would probably swell the
aggregate to about 81, o0o, 900 for the week.
In addition to this, the Convention has
adosrtissd Chicago to degree that win in the
future realize to her millions Of dollars more.

One fact the constitutional Bell must beaware
Of: however Its tongue is wagged by those
who pull the rope, his own past shortcomings

in case Bell should not have his inaugural
ready, to lend him for the occasion, his lee

A PRorosrrloN TO THE DEMocRAr1c SEcE
pERs.-An address to the National Democracy
has been issued by several leading members
of Congress, including both members from
Virginia, both from Louisiana, hessrs.
Toombs, Iverson, Davis and others Of similar
political views. They advise that the Rich
mond secession convention should be deferr
ed, at least for time, and the seeding dele
gates should return to the Baltimore conven-
ton. They think that this course will produce
reconciliation and the recognition of sound
principles by the convention. As the war
against Mr.. Douglas is carried on with as
much vigor as ever, nobody can fail to under.
stand what ''sound principles must mean
in this connection, or to perceive that Mr..
Douglas must be dropped or defeated, as the
condition Of peace.

JuDGE-MADE LAw.-The actual difference
between the Douglas and the National Dem
ocracy is simply, and nothing more nor less,
than this :. The National Democracy claim
that Slavery shall be protected in the terrific.
ries by act of Congress; while the Douglas
Democracy insist that the Supreme Court
can afford it ample protection under the Con-
stitution. Senators Douglas and Pugh and
Ben Samuels, in their recent speeches, each
declared that they were willing to sustain
such protective decisions of the Supreme
Court in behalf of Slavery with all the power
of the National Government. In view of this
fact, we quote from speech of B. F. Butler,
q distinguished Democrat of Massachusetts,
delivered since his return from the Charles
ton Convention. OF the Supreme Court and
Its decisions he said
Nine respectable old gentlemen of the Su-
preme Court mean to say nothing against
them. know them now, but want to ask
who they will be in ten years ? would as

by the Supreme Court. Yes, sooner because

We like, but the decision of the Court remains
The Judges are not amcnable to the popular
will. They sit for life. 1t was the history
Of the world, and in England it had passed
into proverb, that the worst laws were made
not by legislators but by unjust judges.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN Our candidate for the
Vice Presidency is a statesman true and tried
As an evidence Of the estimation in which he
is held by the people of his native State, we
would point to the fact that though less than
fifty years of age, Mr.. Hamlin has been
twenty four years in public life, as member
of the Legislature, Governor, and thrice elect
ed United States Senator. He commenced
his political career as Jeffersonian demo-
crat, and retained membership with the dem
ocracy until 1855, when he discovered the
pro-slavery tendency Of the leaders, and was
one Of the first Of the told guard who sep
arated from the foul party. He resigned his
position in the Senate and appealed to the
people. He was chosen as candidate for
Governor by the anti-Nebraska party, and
elected over his democratic opponent by twen-
ty thousand majority. Mr.. Hamlin is quiet,
retiriag and unostentatious in his habits, in
fact, an excellent representative of a true
American gentleman. Wherever known he
IS respected for his talents, and loved for his
aobleness Of heart. His selection will meet
With unqualified appreciation, and give
strength to the Republican party in the East
I'm States. .
