ASHLAND, SATURDAY JAN. Ia, 1860.
F5YsO are responsible for THE CEtsOr-
ganiSeG condition Of COmgreSS?

| Weinvite the special attention of our read
important question. Every intelligent reader
is well aware that the Opposition have IA of
the 237 members composing the present House
leaving them clear majoritv-a major
! ity competent to control the organization of
the House, provided they were united upon
any COMMON PRINCIPLE-upon any other idea
than that of love of spoils, and hatred of the
Administration and of the Democrats Party
The major part of these factions, embracing
those representing Northern constituencies,
have, since the first Monday of December,
upon every ballot had, given their votes for
JOHN SHERMAN.
Why?
Because SHERMAN is sectional n1an--be-
cause he hates our brethren of the South;-
because, while protesting devotion to the Union,
he dictates terms which he knows the South
of honor and interest, which would involve
their own degradation and destruction, accept
because he is an endorser by his own sign
manual of the ''Helper Book" which teens
with sentiments destructive of the property
and lives of the People of the Slave States.
This man is persistently urged, because his
election would further infamc and insult the
South, and hasten the inauguration of the dread
hour of dissolution and civil war. For no
other reasons can he be urged. If these are
not the true reasons, why do not his supporters
abandon him, and give their votes to man
less politically criminal and more NATIONAL
in his anteeedents?
OF the 237 members of the House of Rep
rcsentatives, the Democratic Party have not to
ercced 90 votes. They are, therefore, utterly
powcrless. During the progress of the contest,
they have offered multitude of candidates,
each one of whom would do infinitely more
honor to the place and be more acceptable to
the country than the prominent candidate
of the Opposition; but all their concessions and
overtures have been factiously rejected The
Democracy, let it be ever remembered by the
country. have made every sacrifice and conces-
sion, within the limit OF adherence to principle
and duty to their country, to effect an organi-
zation. But all their offerings have been
rejected Let the responsibility, then, rest
where it properly belongs.

The RESIGNATION OF GARIBALDI AND THE
REDs.-The Beds are utterly discemftted by
the resignation of Garibsldi, who, by the way,
Judging from his proclamation Agh Haliani,
is not Sc particularly resigned the powers
that he would have US believe. He says the
force of circumstances has sheathed his sword,
and that the weapon will remain in retirement
until called forth by the King. In the mean
while he retires to his Island Capreaja, on the
coast of Sardinia, and Victor Emanuel has
sent him his own futile, where-with to kill the
savage rabbits and raging kids infesting those
countries. Garibaldi is an unwilling Cincinna-
tus, but as matters stood, the sacrifice was
necessary and imperative; it was hard to offer
up Isaac; had it not been doEe, in less than a
week his army would have been amr prises
with the Papal troops. He was essentially a
man of action he could not see that patience
and long suffering were the only means to effect
the Independence of his country. Fortunately
he has a most loyal heart; he is not wise but
true, and at the summons of the King, he at
once left the Legations, where his name and
influence were fast forming party, who, by
their imprudenee and precipitation, would have
hopelessly lost the cause, BY giving an excuse
for foreign interference.

aIPSS.

A friend has handed US a copy Of thu Ypsi-
lanti (Mich) Sentinel, neutral paper, which
gives the following candid and sensible COM
ments upon the late Message of President
BUCHANAN:
We have persued this document with some
care, and can cheerfully say that we approve
its cleamess and national tone. Of course,
our old Whig ideas of the absolute powers of
Congress over the Territories, are somewhat at
variance with the Presidents construction of
the decision of the Supreme Court but that
is simply difference in abstract theory
Whatever notions may form the staple of
stump speeches hereafter, whatever 'fplanks''
may hereafter be put in platforms, practice
will undoubtedly conform to the Presidents
view. Settlers going into new Territories will
go with their property, in the enjoyment of
equal rights and protection, until State Gov
ernment is formed-when the condition of the
State either free or slave will be determined.
Indeed, that has always been our practice, des-
pite all Laws and ordinances. Slaves were
held in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Wis
consin, Notwithstanding the Ordinance of 'S7
until it was abolished by the formation of the
their State Constitutions. 1t will always be
so, as it always has been, and all dispute as to
abstract theory is futile
Upon the question of renewing the slave
trade the President is peculiarly satisfactory
to all conservative men. His views must come
doFn like a wet blanket, on the ultra slavery
men South, while they effectually demollsh the
capital of the Opposition in the North. The
President boldly grapples the whole question,
not merely its expediency, but the Constitu-
tionality of the Law abolishing it; and demon
strates both, the legality of its abolition, and
the expendiency of its renewal. In fact, the
Message is magazine of argument, to which
they can resort with unerring certainty for the
most solid ammunition in their warfare
The President dismises the Cuban question,
by repeating the recommendation of his Mes
sage in a single paragraph.
Our Mexican and Central American rela-
tions, are given, as they should be, a preemi-
nece over Cuba, and in these he is full fair
and explicit demonstrating the propriety of
his recommendations, by fair statement of
the condition of these countries, and our re-
lation with them.
His views of increasing the revenue, Of
eoonomising expenditures, and Of the Pacific
Railroad, are equally sound and satisfactory
A high tone of nationality runs through the
entire document, and its devoidness of parts
anship is such that no one ceuld determine,
from its perusal to what party the author be-
longs; or, if ignorant of the fact, that there
was more than one party in the country. 1t
is, in short, a model Message.

The above significant paragraph ws extract.
from the Journal of yesterday. 1t is a direct.
rebuke to Dir. HARRISON, the able Republican.
Senator from Madison, and discloses the dis
satisfaction of the central junto toward that
Senator, for his action in the premises. We
do not know the contents of Mr.. BARRIsoN'ss
bill, but are quite sure from the unkind and
ungentlemanly fling made at itJby the Jour.
nat that 1t is measure of some moment, andE
we presume some merit. We take it to be a
step in the right direction, although it may
not go as far as We would desire. AT any rates
it must be gall and wormwood to the central
junto, judging from the manner in which the
Journal notices it.-Ohio Statesman,

THE w1FE.-To partake secretly, and in her
heart, of all his joys and sorrows, to believe
him comely and fair, though the sun hath
drawn a cypress over him, (for as marriages
are not to be contracted by the hands and eyes,
but with reason and the heart, so are these
judgments to be made by the mind, not by the
sight,) and diamonds cannot make the woman
virtuous, nor him to value her who sees her
put them off then, when chastity and modesty
are her brightest ornaments. Indeed the out
ward ornament is fit to take fools, but they are
not worth the taking. But she that hath a
wise husband, must entice him to an eternal
dearness, by the veil of modesty, and the grave
robes of chastity, the ornament Of meekness,
and the jewels Of faith and charity; her bright
ness must be purity, and she must shine round
about with sweetness and friendship, and
she shall be pleasant while she lives, and de-
sired when she dies.-Jeremy Taylor.

THE SECRET OF HAPrInEss.

The most common error of women, is that. Of
looking for happiness somewhere outside of use

thus sought; and never will be, while the world
stands; and the. sooner this truth is learned,
the better for every one. If you, doubt tho
proposition, glance around among your freinds
and aequintances, and select those who appeaEto
have the most enjoyment in life- Are they:
the idlers, and pleasure-seekers, or the earHest<
workers? We know what your answer will be-.
Of all the miserable human beings it has been.
our fortune, or misfortune, to know, they were.
the most wretched who had retired from useful
enployments, in order to enjoy .hernselEes.---.
Why, the slave at his enforced labor, or thes
hungry tailor for bread, were supremely happy
in comparison.
Earnestly would we press upon young minds.
the truth We have stated. 1t lies at the founds-.
ton of all well-doing, and well-beings 1t gires-
tranquility and pleasure to. the youth Just stap-

our friend John wont do it. We are afraid
