she was not permitted 10 do so-unseat that
little domagogue who had betrayed her, and

We regret that any occasion for Mr.. kel-
logg's speech or c,r this article has arisen;
but if the truth Of history is vindicatcd BY
either, We shall be content. The Republicans
OF Illinois have nothing to fear BY laying open
all the facts. Their course was stra'ght-for"
ward from first to last They made 20 bar
gains, treaties or compacts with tho enemy;
they desired that. none should be made On
their account. If any number OF them were
mislcd, they ,,Scro misled: by their trusted
friends. IF they were beaten, they wero beaten
by those who should llavo been fighting with
thom side by side. They mnaoa gallant battle
against immense odds; and bu1ying by-gones'
they are ready to do SO again. Advising
| those who at that time assumed to direct 3ron1
Washington aud New York the movements
Of the Republican party in Illinois, to femem-
her the mistake then made, and to be q tF'no
moro modest in their argaignments Of The

The season is opening curly aud favornb1y.
After wiuter Of unusual mildness, remark
ably favorable for the prosecution Of all out.
o::loor enterrrizt-, Spring has come upon
us month III adraEcc Of its usual advent;
and from every quarter the hum Of industry
and Of business reaches uP. From the coun-
try around us--trom Northern Indiana, North
crn Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
-we learn that the farmers a1e now in the
midst Of Sowing their Spring Wheat, many Of
them in tLis vicinity expecting to get their en-
tire crop in the ground By the close Of tho pre-
sent week, With !: continuance Of the pre-
eeat favorable weather, this business will be
completed III all Of the States named, at least
by tho first Of April next. Our Information
leads us to believe, also. tllat moro than the
usual breadth will be sown in spring wheat;
and that, should the weathcr prove favorable,
in the next two mon:hs a very largo area
will be put down in corn and oats.
There is general impression among far
mcrs that the present year is TO be one ofgood
crops. They say they feel "that it will 10 SO
in their bones;" and they arc wisely prepar-
ing to profit by it. 1t is salo to say that the
farmers Of the entire Northwest arc in better
heart to-day than they hnve been at any time
since the crash Of 1857.
There appears to be = general Improvement,
also, in tho business Of the city. Our mer-
chants are filling larger orders than usual at
this season Of tie rear. Country MGR
chants are not suffering 80 greatly from
the pressure Of Indebtedness, aud they
arc buying moro freely, aud paying n
larger per ccntage in cash. Our manufac:ur-
crs are in better heart, with better business
now aud better prospects allead, than they
have long been accustomed to. Thtre is a fair
prospect also that our architects and builders
will hayetheir hands full during the season
now opening. Navigation is month earlier
:ban customary, and expectations are cnter-
ta;ned by vessel owncrs Of an active seasor.
In word, men in every department ef
business appear to bo inspired with fresh
courage; everybody is hopeful, and "chock-
full" Of Industry and energy; everybody BE-
licycs that the West will bo lairly set upon
its legs the present rear by . good crop and
good prices for it. We trust TINT MI these e1-
pectahona may be more than realized; and
that VIC shall bare but few laggards among
US to csoak over hard times when prosperity
Is within tho reach Of all,

Great Men Always Know Each Other.

When Mr.. Clay visited HopkinsVille,
Kentucky, the first year Of the admins
traliou OF John Quincy Adams, TO defend
himself against the charge Of "bargain,
intrigue and corruption" he was called
upon by his friends at a large and spa
cious saloon. DR.. Ii, then Of
that place, and great friend Of Mr. Clay,
was by his side, presenting him to bis
numerous friends as they came forward.
Presently the Doctor saw the tall form Of
the eccentric Governor Pittsur enter the
door Of the saloon. Instantly he en-
braced the opportunity TO point him out
to Mr.. c., and then whispered TO hpi
that the tall man at the door "is Governor
Pittsur, OF Pond River, a most worthy
friend Of yours, whom You must know
without an introduction; and you must be
certain before he leaves, TO wish that he
may never have another invasion Of squir-
rels." Thus posted, Mr.. Clay stood his
ground in The centre Of the saloon, while
the Governor, unconscious Of the iuno-
cent trick, approached him by degrees,
and saying, as he came:
Don't introduce me to MIR. Clay; he
will know me, and know him. for great
men know each other on sight"
The Governor, looking everywhere but
in the right place, asked, as he passed on:
"Where is the god.like MANI" and
saying, IL shall know him on sight; for
great men like us never fail to know each
other. l beg Of you, genllemen, not TO
introduce us; we will know each other,
though we have never seen each other.
You say he is in this room, good shall
find him!" and away he slalked toward
the place where Mr.. Clay stood.
Presently he drew himself TO his lo(tiest
height upon beboding Mr., Clay, and eyed
him for some time in unu,terab!e admira.
lion. Mr.. Clay stepped forward with
his blandest smile, and sweetest voice,
and exclaimed:
Chow are you, Governor Pittsur Of
Pond River? | am rejoced TO see you"
Hear that '' said the Governor
didn't l tell you that be would know me,
and that Pittsur would know him? Yes,
yes, gentlemen, he is the greatest man
that lives.
After cordially shaking hands, and
telling few OF his happy jokes, Mr.. Clay
said:
my dear Governor, wish that you
may live a thousand years, that health
may abound throughout your wide do,
main, and that you may never have an.
other invasion of squirrels"
"Bless mel" said the Governor, "did
you hear that? How did he know that
my people lost their entire crop of corn
last year by squirrels? Bless my soul. he
knows everything! Wonderful wonder
iul! always told you he was the greatest
man in the world-didn't l. boys?"
AND the Governor left in state OF per-
feet admiration Of the great salesman

Curran.

Currsn, the irish orator, when youth,
had strong defect in his articulation, and
at school he was known as "stuttering
Jack Curran." While he was engaged
in lhe study OF law, and still struggling to
overcome his defect, he was stung into
eoquence by the sarcasms of a member
OF a debating club, who characterized
him as "OraIor Mum :" for, like Cowper,
when he stood up 10 speak, Curran had
not on previous occasion been able to
utter word. But the taunt raised his
pluck and he replied with a triumphant
speech. This accidental discovery in
himself Of the gift of eloquence encouraged
him TO proceed in his studies with add.
tionai energy and vigor. He corrected
his enuucalion by reading alcut, en-
phalcally and distinctly, the best passages
in our literature, for several hours each
day, studying his features before mirror,
adopting a method Of gesticulation suited
to his rather awkward and ungraceful
figure. He also proposed cases TO him
self, which he detailed with as much care
as if he had been addressing a jury. Cur
ran commenced business with the quail
ficatou which Lord Eldon stated to be
the first requisite for distinction as bar.

SPEAK WELL OF OTHERS tho disposi-
ton TO speak we'll of others was universally
prevalent, tho world would become perfect
Paradise. Tho opposition is tho Pandora
box, which, when opened, fills ovory house
and every ucighborhood with pain and sor-
row. How many cnmities aud heart burn
ings flow from this source! How much
happiness is interrupted and destroyed En-
w. JEALOUSY, and tho malignant spirit of owl,
whom they find vent by tho lips, go forth on
their mission like foul fionds, to blast tho
reputation and peace Of others. Every one
has his impcrfections and in tho conduct
of tho best there will DO occasional faults
which might soem to justify animadversion.
1t is a good rule however, when thore is oc'
casion for faul,-fnding, to do il privately
1t is proof of interest in tho individual,
which will generally be taken kindly, if the
manner of doing it is not offensive. The
common and unchristiau rule. on tho con-
trary, is to proclaim the failing of others to
all but themselves. This is unchristiaD, and
shows despicablo heart.

MEMORIES.


Ye como, 20 como, to my spirits throne,
And yo leave your footprints there,
To sing to INC songs of mirth and CLEO,
And many a saddcncd air;
Unbiddcn sc bring on memory's track,
The treasures of buried years,
And 70 leave spell in my dreaming heart
That strs it's fount Of tears.
Yc come, &c come, to watt mo back
To the dancing, waving stream,
To tho woodland bower where tsncy rovcs
In chiIdhood's chequcrcd CLEAN;
Ye steal on my spirits silent nsles,
With those tales Of lovely things
That tho southern brcezo at ovon;ide
Oft bears on its fragrant wings.
There arc treasures rich in momory's dome
And shining wealth in hcr hulls,
Bright shapes float up in tho dreamy past
When her geam through its curtain falls
Bright stars in her beautiful sky,
And gems or her brow that eIcom
Like tho wavclct's hue when tho sunshine
plays
Gu tho glecsomo, flashing stream.
She may whisper, too, Of many timcs,
With thoir crushing weight of caro-,
When liio seemed fruught with a darkened
hoo,
And tho bending skies less fair;
But tho spell she leaves on tho humblod
heart,
When tho ccho's passed away,
Ia haIlowcd as dear in it's silent depths,
As joys moro dazzling ray.
Tho past, tho PAST. who loves it not,
When memory seeks its strand,
And its pillows lave the pebbles bright,
That arc gathered by mcmorys hand :
Oh, sweet tho chime of its music tones,
AS they weave round our hearts theil
viles,
And Swcot tho sound Of tho billow;ngs
That roll by its cchoing isles.
TIe may dream as VIC will of to morrow,
And of many day tipped golden,
That tho future shows to our eagor hearts,
In lis haunted shades unfoIdcn;
No tones, no spells, no dreams so sweet
Are over our spirits cast,
AS the toucs, tho spells and cherished dreams
OF tho memory tinted past
Oh, momory's touch is syLil's touch.
And her cunning fingers play
On tho tunoful strings of our lyric hearts,
AS only o SYPHILIS mny.
We may marvel we'll if tho delicate chords
Breathe unresponsivo strain,
When tho Sybil!ne hand with gontlo touch
Hath on them quirering lain.
