soutnorn ideas OF soundness.

We give the following passage from Mr.
Pugh's speech in reply to Iverson:
inasmuch as we have not been able to
furnish the South with more slaves where
by she could populate new Territories, the
Senator calls upon us by some hocus po-
Gus for en- act of Congress 10 make some
new slaveholding States for the benefit OF
the South. Well, sir, in the present state
of things it is more unreasonable than the
demand upon the Hebrews, who were re-
7uired to make bricks without straw
Therefore, sir, all the pretexts that any
thing has been done by any Territorial
LEGISLATURE since the year 1913, attacking
the institution of slavery, or excluding 1t
from their limits, are wholly untounded,
and if may say 90, without personal dis
respect to the Senator, unjust.
In fact the Senator's ideas Of soundncss
seem to be that the North has not only 10
wait upon the South as an obedicnt vas
sal. and whenever any candidate for office
in a Southern State, wishes to crafty To-
cal prejndices or promote his own success,
deigns to PROFOUND some new dogma With
regard to slavery, more offensive to North
crn sentiment, if possible, than any ono
else ever proposed, that dogma is to be-
come forthwith nm incontrovertlbte article
of Democratic faith. The Senator will
not even tolerate US in doubling whether
or not slavery be, as he alleges, altogether
faultless institution: He says:
The Southern people do not admit that slavery is
moral wrong. social evil, political curse; on
the contrary. they believe it right in the sight OF
Heaven salutary in its social bearing ana enects'
al blessings. They must. therefore, Look upon NIL
men who take tho opposite ground. and VINO Con-
denim slavery in the abstract as enemies OF their Pc
cuIiar institution and committed sooner or later to
its final destruction"

Bennett u1ld Pryor.

The New York 7rjJune says of the re-
cent assault of Pryor upon Bennett and
family:
In the House of Representatives ycstcr-
day, Mr.. Pryor assaulted Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett of the n. Y. Herald, in terms Of
uncqualcd vituperatiOn. Not content with
his lnvectives against Mr. Bennett, he
went on to heap the foulest assaults upon
members of MIR. Benefits family, whose
name no gentleman would drag into snch
a controversy. The cause of it all seems
TO have been some published remarks of
Mr.. Benuetts upon Mr.. Pryors course in
his colloquy with Mr.. Hickman in the
House on Tuesday last. In that colloquy
Mr.. Pryor used language and exhibited
manners which filed the country with dis
gust, and Mr.. Benefits observations,
though severe, were fully justified by the
facts. However, if they had needed any
other justification, it was afforded by the
speech of yesterday. We are anything
but admirers of Mr.. Bennett, but between
him and ar. Pryor, the difference is large
ly in his favor, not only in respect of
brains, but in every other respect also.

The editor of the Clay County QndiAna)
Democrat humorously alludes to fight he
had last week with a Republican, in which
he got the advantage, that is, he got a
whipping and the other got nothing.
ANY lack of editorial on our part this
week, may be attributed to the fact OF our
thumb getting badly "worstcd' while en-
gagged in civil set to with daFned Re-
publican. W. were making energetic cf-
forts to 'put him out" but he got us
down and would have ''walicred" US,

THE New York Post says that during the
past week the massive marble steps of the
Blocker Street Savings Bank have been
covered from morning till night with men
and women. Many have noticed this fact,
and that each person had bank book,
and wondered Mt the meaning of it. The
cause of the rush was the anxiety of the
depositors to receive their semi-unnual
dividend. There are over fifty-one thous-
and depositors, and most of these have
called for their dividend during the week.
Some moneys are still on deposit which
were put in the bank nineteen years ago,
when it was founded. The present assets
of the bank are Slo,OO5,649 SO.

Nh. CRITTENDEN made an able speech at
the Peyton dinner in Philadelphia. He
wishes the slavery question to be left out
of the political discussions of the day. 1t
IS a pity he can't be gratified, but the dem
ocrats will persist in "agitation," BY which
they live as completely as did the late Mr..
o'Councll. If an English statesman of
1860 had requested his countrymen not to
discuss the Reformation question. he
would have stood the same chance of be-
ing gratified as Mr.. Crittenden stands of
Obtaining his very reasonable wish.

AN artist friend gives the N. Y. cores
pendent of the Philadelphia Press bit of
fresh and reliable news about Rosa Bon
henr. That triumphant specimen of
manly woman is about to visit the United
States professionally. An opulent French
gentleman, an enthusiast in the art, some
time since commissioned her ladyship to
cross the Atlantic, proceed to the great
prairies at the far west, and paint, from
life, herd of wild buffaloes. She was to
take her own time, accomplish it in her
own way, and for her own price. At first
she declined to entertain the proposition,
but finally, after turning it over in her
mind, and rejecting upon what an original
and splendid work she could make, she
has accepted the offer, and comes over in
the spring to make the picture.

Wnnted-A Lame, Blind or Cheap
Niger.

The Union newspaper having called the
attention of the Legislature to the fact
that persons hereabouts, and elsewhere,
wore circulating Helpers book among
"non-slaveholding whites i've think this
was in .stheir issue of Dec. 2lst) we
understand, that company of persons are
organizing here for the purchase ola cheap
sniiIgger-either young one, lame one, or
"a blind oue-something cheap-the only
object being to become niger owners, and
thus secure the liberty of speech, the
press, and the liberty to read whatever
YOU want to. tits estimated that niger
of some sort can be had for about five
hundred dollars, and trifiing outlay of
that sort for a couple or three hundred
persons, dubbed together, is as nothing
when compared with the quiet enjoyment
of an undisputcd right to read anything
you want to. For our part, we intend to
20 into this company, and they can write
us down now for Eve dollars, anyhow.

FIFTH AVENUE BENEvoLENcE.-The New
York correspondent of the Boston Post
thus explains the workings of fashionable
charity:
ga few lady patroncsses tell the May
whom to help and how it. An object
of charity, or subject Of patronage, being
found, the game of benevolence begins by
each OF the lady leaders subscribing loud
ly aud boldly fifty, one hundred or two
hundred dollars. A plan is then decided
upon for q fair, concert or some private
theatricals for which tickets are issued
the patroncsses, Of course, taking their
moneys tcorh of the pastcboard. These
cards they shuttle, at a fixed price thigh
enough always) into the pockets of the
gentlemen whom a luckless fate throws in
their way. BY this means the original
subscription is soon wiped out, the lady
patronesses secure free admissions, reap all
the glory, and finally pay over the pro-
ceeds To the charitable ohjcct-nnd all
with pervading sense of having per-
formed noble deed deserving of first
rate notice from the pen Of Stcrnc's re
cording angel AS this game is of con-
slant recurrence here, to the infinite dis
satisfaction of the young male Pipestems
who frequent the brown stone fronts of
Fifth avenue, have thought it would bear
ventilation, ann at the same time furnish a
recipe for the benefit of those who wish to
practice very cheap charity.

A New York paper asks ''whether the

blood into the veins of woman was re-
Gently performed in Kilmarnock: Ayrshire,
Scotland. The woman, although in the
prime of life, had become so weak from
the loss of blood that pulsation was at
times imperccptible. The blood of a

her arms, and the most cheering results

tinued to improve rapidly, and at last oc-
