A CoMMENDABLE SPIRIT.-A discussion
was carried on several weeks ago in refeT-
ence to the advisabnity of the discontlnu-
ance of the office of Agent of State by the
General Assembly at its coming session, in
asmuch as the office is said to be almost g
sinecure-paying big salary and requiring
little work. We were much pleased with
the manner 10 which this suggestion was
treated by the editor of the Terre Haute Ex-
press-Robert n. Hudson, Esq. Mr. H.,
though candidate for the office, declared
himself in favor of the abolishment OF the
office if it appears that there is no need OF 1t
and If its duties can be performed more eth-
ciently and cheaply by some of the other
State officers provided, the arrangement be
tween the State and the bond-holderS does
not require that such official shall be furnish
ed by the State to transact the duties arising
from that contract. Mr.. Hudson further
took the position that if it be ascertained
that such an officer is required, and if his
present compensation prove too large, he
will favor the cutting down OF his salary
to q fair figure, even if elected himself
This is the spirit that we like to see pre-
vailing amongst the Republicans. They
have made the most solemn pledges to the
people that if placed in power they will
bring about rigid system of economy and
work a through reform in State affairs, that
need renovating so badly. On the faithful
ness of the party to these pledges depends
their continued success. They have large
majority in both branches and they have
for the next two years the Executive and
administrative oficera Therefore the peo-
pie will hold them responsible for the re-
demptior of their pledges. By a straightfor-
ward course toward reform and retrench-
ment they will gain a firm hold on the con-
fdence OF the people; by an opposite course
they will be in danger of losing the hold
they have already gained.
We have great confidence in our Repre-
sentatives from this District, that they will
cooperate together for reform.

each generation more intelligent, consequently
more the objects of dread" These half-bloods
and quadroons are in the house of every slave
holder; they mingle with the family, cook their
food, nurse their children, and attend to them
in sickness. Mixed up with these mixed bloods,
as they are it is impossible for the shareholders
to feel secure. They have constant dread OF
impending evil, and dare not permit anything
to be said or written against Slavery, or in ia
vor of emancipation. The discussion of man s
original rights is dangerous to the Shareholder.
The Declaration of independence is an incendi-
airy publication, and is condemned by the slave
holders, generally. True, Judge fancy says
that does not include the African race, but this
does not help the matter, as the slaves will not
consider the bred Scott decision as binding
upon them.
More than fifteen years ago, Mr.. Calhoun
denounced the Declaration Of Independence in
the Senate, and charged Jefferson with having
done more injury to the cause Of Slavery than
any other living man. The time has gone by
when the South can support free institutions
Their safety depends upon putting stop to free
discussion North as well as South Mr. Sher-
mons trial in Congress proves this beyond
doubt. lie has committed no offence against
the laws Of any free State, and if condemned at
all, it must be for violation of the laws of
the slave States. So we go, and where this me-
gro-covetng, slaveloving Democracy will final
ly carry US, it is impossible to tell,

Blocking the Wheel Of Government.

A secret league of the Sham Democracy al
Washington, came to light last Thursday
Schuyler Collax, Republcan,) by persistent
heterogeneous, pumped out of several reluctat-
ing Democrats the confession, that 40 opposition
members of the House, mostly Democrats, had
bound themselves by written agreement to
each other, to resist in every possible way, till
the 4th of March 1861, if necessary, vote on
the resolution to elect Speaker by plurality.
We do not allude to this for the purpose of rep
ROTATING the course of these forty men, as we
are quite willing every one should judge of for
himself. We only desire to direct attention to
those who are thus shown to be directly respon-
sible for the state of things at Washington
John Sherman has received l6 more votes than
the highest candidate against him. The Repub-
lcans have at present no purpose Of abandon
ing him. He would not in the event. of the
adoption of the plurality rule receive but two
or three votes more tHan the highest number he
has yet reached, which was Ill, while at least
100 votes would be thrown against him. 1t is
by no means certain chat Sherman would be
elected, if the House were compelled to choose
between him and some Democrat Yet his
friends have from the start, favored Hickman
resolution to elect by plurality vote, and will
cheerfully abide the consequences; it has been
for long time apparent that the House cannot
be organized in any other way. But these for
ty members, by talking interminably, getting
up row every little while, discussing points of
order, with the help of the Clerk who favors
their fllibustering propensities can, as they
have agreed to do, prevent an organization till
the members commissions expire. We hope the
Sentinel can now see who is responsible, for the
further delay in the organization,

A Man Eaten by a Bear!
A FRIGHTFUL STORY.

We have had no definite information nor re-
liable authority for the facts (2) given below,
and we wish therefore to suggest, that In such
items, OF others of interest, our readers should
take it upon themselves to see who will be fast
to give us full report of the same. What we
hear places the affair on a parallel with those
frightful scenes and adventures narrated OF the
early history of the State 1t is too strange
and novel to lie fully credited. 1t happened
that sometime during the week before last, q
German pedler, named Stearns, while hawking
his wares in Stowe, started to cross q field to
reach house, or another road and while so
doing, was met by large bear, and II fight en-
sued, in which the pedler was worsted, and
nearly ea,en up alive, his lower extremities be-
ing almost entirely eaten of. II is reported
that a woman at farmhouse was distant
witness Of the horrible affair, and responded to
the poor fellows cries by blowing horn, and
at last succeeded in arousing some mon, who
rescued him still alive, and In possession of his
senses It's stated that he lived a few hours in
the greatest agony.
Win some one give us the truth Of the affair
Gov. Stewart, of Missouri, vetoed the bill,

Death of Lord Macaulay.

The startling intelligence reaches us from
England, that Thomas Darlington Macaulay
died in London, of disease of the heart, on the
18th of December. Among the distinguished
dead of the year 1859, no name will stand more
illustrious than his. He was created peer of
the realm in 1867, with the title of Baron Ma
caulav of Rothley; but as he was never mar
ried, and died without issue, the title becomes
extinct He was SO years old last October
Whatever distinction he acquired, he gained by
tho splendor of his talent, the wealth of his
learning, and his rare ability to achieve the
highest success in whatever he undertook. He
was the foremost historical writer of the age
He was member of Parliament as long ago as
1880, and secretary of war in the Melbourne
ministry, and at one time in the public service
in India.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1860-01-26

that he might do SO. But it isn't so clear rs
logical deduction from that fact, that A. has
no right to express his disgust at the offensive
odor, or that he must consent that the nuisance
be made higher, and longer, and broader, and
thousand times more dangerous and repulsive by
enlargement every way, without word ofremon-
STRANGE, or an act of resistance. A desire for
peace and good neighborhood might induce A.
to put wax in his nose, and smile, and write
handsome notes to B., telling him that he ad-
mired him as a neighbOr, and on the whole was
inclined to the opinion that saughter-house
was not only a benefcent and benign type of in
dustry, but understanding institution gener-
ally, which would all be very grateful, no doubt,
and tend much to q harmonious state of things
between the parties. But after all, we are of
the opinion that A. would have an undisputed
right to turn up his nose at the vile smell, and
use all legal methods to get rid of it, and stop
by injunction, or by force if necessary, any H.
legal spread of the nuisance beyond the limits
Of the original agreement.
And as far as the right is concerned the Re-
publicans and the shareholders, under the Con-
stitution, stand in very much the position of A.
and B. in the case supposed above. The Repub-
licans cannot abolish slavery where it exists in
State, by any action as national party be-
cause the trainers Of the government left that
to the action of the several States But they
can stop Its indefinite expansion, and this they
have the right if the majority give it to them, to
use the whole power of the government. And
as one of the means of bringing about this re-
suit. they must also have the right both to hold
and to express the opinion that slavery is NOR
ally crime, and politically blight and a curse
in every State where it exists that it is in its
essential character, and in its general practice,
wrong and unjust from first to last; and that
the States whore it now exists, would be in all
industrial pursuits, in all mechanical arts, in
all worldly prosperity, better off to-day, if they
were peaceably rid of the unnatural relation of
master and slave
But Democrats tell us that we must let slav-
cry alone that it is none of our business that
the fact of its existence being recognized in the
Constitution, gives it sacred and immaculate
character, which we have no right to question,
doubt, or even argue about; that on the CONTRA
ry it is our duty to praise ever, and sing psalms
to its honor, and scatter its seed in the virgin
soil of every new State and Territory which has
been or may be conquered by our arms, or
bought with our treasure.
We submit these propositions-the princi
pies of the Republican party on the one hand,
and on the other the charge of our opponents
that we have no right to hold such principles
and leave it to the ireemen of Vermont to decide
whether it is treason to the nation to believe,
and publish, and practice, that there is nothing
in the Constitution and the Union of the Amer
lean State recommending, blessing, consecratiug,
sanctifying, the accursed system of American
Slavery.

Information was received at Washington on
the 18th that 5000 men are now in New Or
leans, ready to embark for Vera Cruz. They
60 out as enigrants, and will be received into
citizenship by the Juarez government, when
they will be mustered into service under Amer
lean officers such as Generals Ring and Wheat,
and will sustain the Liberal government until
the Senate ratifes the McLane treaty.
The Tribune correspondent at Washington
says that Mr.. Sldell advised the President re-
Gently to invite several Eastern Republican Sen
ators to a private conference upon the Mexican
treaty, with view to presenting considerations
which might influence their votes. 1t is now
admitted that if the treaty lails, Juarez must
fall.
