Gov. SeXvnrh.

We learn with great pleasure that this gen.
tleman, who seems to be to the Republican
party, what Martin Van Buren once was to
the Jackson organization, is preparing him.
self for a speech, fully defining his own posi-
ton and defending the Republican faith
He refuses to interfere in any of the skirmish-
es that are going on from day to day, but
will in due time make a pronuaciameato,
which will be his only effort during the ses-
sion. We predict it will be the great speech
of the age. @
For his opposition to Know Nothingism when
it was riding rough shoe over the country,
and also for his manly and independent de-
fence of principles of human liberty, Gov
Seward has always commanded our warmest
admiration and respect, and we have been
hoping that it would be in our power to aid
him to the Presidency. We have at times
yielded to the impulse of our hatred toward
the present administration. and felt willing
to take almost any man, North or South,
who could unite the opposition elements,
merely for the sake of a reform. But the
course Of opposition in Congress affords but
poor proof that our disposition to unite all
the elements of the opposition is reciprocated
1t viii be impossible to unite the whole OF
the opposition upon any out and out free
soiler, or upon any man tnctured in the
least with Know -Nothngism, from present
indications. 1t looks very III, then, as il
the Republicans had better take a man who
fully represents the Republican idea, and
share their fate with him, rather than sur
render everything to unite an opposition. and
then be beaten at last We are inclined to
think that such will be the drift of Governor
Stewards speech. In this region Of the
country the treatment FISHERMAN has ten
ded to make Seward votes, and we are salts.
fed that Seward and Lincoln would be the
first choice of an immense majority of the
Republicans in this region, on,-leaving out the
question of availability, concerning which
there will always be more or less difference OF
opinion. Seward is as strong as his party
principles. So is John Sherman. 1t re.
mains to he seen what will be the effect OF
dropping Sherman. Possibly the Withdrawal
will organize the House, but there is often tn,
worst kind ofdefeat in victory.
Besides. the.'South threatens to dissolve
| the Union ifGov. Seward is elected. Now
we are free to say. that our first choice fol
President would be the man who would put
the courage of these tire-eaters to the test
Ii is time that these Southern men hrd al
opportunity to show out the hollowness o
their reasonable threats. We want to SEE
whether any Of these Southern tire-eater.
will suffer execution as manfully as did Ole

a FACT OR TWO TO KNow-There are us
ually twelve ribs in the human body, though
sometimes eleven or thirteen. The skull con-
sists of eight bones, four in pairs at the sides.
There are three kinds of teeth, the incisors,
the tearing and the grinders, and in many,
three kinds are opposite to each other, above
and below. The number of teeth at niaturi-
ty is thirtytwo, or sixteen to each jaw. The
perspiration ofa man in health is about
twenty-eight ounces in twenty -four hours
This fact alone shows the necessity of bath
ing and washing the skin. The quantity
diminishes while eating, but increases dur
ing digestion and sleep. The blood is about
the fifth weight of the body. The heart
by its muscular contraction, distributes two
ounces of blood from seventy to eighty times
in minute The lungs, owing to the con-
tinued reception of fresh cold air, are the
coldest part Of the body. In sleep the res
piration is less frequent than at other times
4 respiration may be held for minute and
a half even longer if it be taken deep and
long.

The N. Y. Tribune, of the 9Th, has the
following highly personal item:
The new Republican Chief Justice of Iowa
is a spiritualist, and it is stated that he has
"a castle at Keokuk for the reception Of in
visible ghosts"
We are at loss to know how the Tribune
became possessed ofthis piece ofinteliig ence.
Ex-Governor, now Chief Justice, Lowe is no
more spiritualist than the editor of the Tri-
bune; and the nonsense about the "casIle !"
FOR invisible ghosts is . fction.---Hapk-

As the sunlight tints the flower and colors
the rock-as it alternately sparkless in the
dew drops and shines in the broad OCEAN
so the true religious spirit is present in the
humblest bargain, the lowliest world of kind

brew bards and the profound teachings of
st. Paul, the apostle, those ancient head
lands of Christian thought.

MIR. Pennington.

Mr.. Pennington was elected to Congress by
the Peoples party of New Jersey. His ante
cedeats are Whig. He is warm friend Of
protection 70 American industry, and holds
with tenacity to the old fashioned doctrins
of Jefferson, Marshall, Tompkins, and Web
ster, upon the power and duty of Congress
to inhibit Slavery in the Territories. Though
he has held hi,h public positions, having
been Chancellor and Governor of New Jersey
for six years, vet, doubtless, he has had less
experience in legislative bodies than any
man ever chosen to the Speakers chair
Many years ago he was a member, for a
single year, of the Lower House of the New
Jersey Legislature; and, as Governor, he was
er-oticio President of the Senate Excepting
of course, Mr.. Muhlenburg, the Speaker of
the First Congress, and also Mr.. Clay, he is
the first gentleman of the twenty-Six that
have occupied the chair, who has been called
to it on his first appearance in that body
Though Mr.. Clay was chosen Speaker ofthe
XIIth Congress without having previously
held a seat in the House, yet he had often
been member of che General Assembly of
Kentucky. had been its presiding officer, and
had served three sessions i'm the United
States Senate. ....
Mr. Pennington brings to the responsible
position he now occupies commanding
presence, equanimity of temper, genial spir-
it, undoubted integrity, fidelity to friends, lib
erality to opponents, a clear and capacious
mind, and extensive legal attainments. By
his urbanity, impartiality, and weight Of
character, he will challenge the respect of
the body over which he is called to preside.
Nevertheless, he will need the support, not
only of his political friends, but ofall the con-
servative and orderloving members of the
House, to enable him to keep its appropri-
ate work one of the most stormy and way
ward deliberative assemblies in the world.
