WorkIateilisently.

In order to realize the nature Of any
work, we must understand two things,
viz:--the object to be worked upon, and
the design to be accomplished BY it; or.
in other words, we must havea clear idea
OF the end to be attained.
This is the case with all labor. The
sculptor first studies carefully the most
graceful iorms, the fairest and most SYM
metrical modes of beauty. Then when
bis ideal is fixed in his mind. he selects
the rough, block of marble, measures its
dimensions, studies carefully the grain OF
strata, and endeavors to ascertain whether
his ideal does really exist in that rough
piece Of work. .s a. .s ',lH
The engineer calculates the hight Of
mountains to be ileYeled, estimates the
depth and breadth of the cbasm to be
spanDed, or the distance in the solid gran.
ite through which the iron horse mus
force his way. uniting city with city. ant
hamlet with hamlet. These things HI
must understand before he is ready t
make even b beginning. 80 .sa s,i-
Thus it is with every business Of life
1t must be understood to be &C ccomplished
There must be close calculation, careful
stpdy, and at oil times lul understanding
OF the great end and object to be attained
How important, then, that the teschsr
more than all others, shonld understand
bis work, The material upon wEicl
we actis mind; the breath of God, ths
which places man so far above all othe
creatures. And shall we not study ihi
wonderful thing2 Aye. STUDY, earnestly
thoroughly, then work faithfully, and en-
deayor so toeducaie our pupils as to- &
then, to act, we'll their part in the bus
drama Of life. as good and honest member
Of society; as intelligent, and faithful chi
aens' above all, as responsible beings.

More Clap Trap.1

EE The Democracy are eternally
talking of the right of self-government
as connected with the people of the ter
ritories. How" they ask, does a
man loose his capacity for self-govern-
meDt by crossing an imaginary line be-
tween State and Territory ?" And
yet which one of these blatant, clustering
demagogues ever proposes to grant to
the people of the territories the right to
choose their own rulers--their govern
ors, their judges, their secretaries
Judge DOUGLAS, and every one of his
followers in Congress, have always voted
against proposition to grant this right.
How much less deprivation of the right
of self government is it to say that man
shall not enslave a fellow man, than to
say that he shall not elect his own rulers
These same gentlemen, too-Mr. DOUGLAS
neutrality-suspicious., in the strongest
terms, the course of the 10000 people
at Pixies Peak, and the thousands in Da
cotah and Nevada territories, for setting
up local governments. How did these
people loose their right to govern them
selves ? "Oh," they say, i" Congress
has not given them that right-it must
come through Congress" Indeed But
what becomes of all your humbug about
self government 1t is the veriesi clap
trap that was ever offered to an intelli-
gent people.
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1860-09-11

prepared and passed through the House
by the Republicans in opposition to many
friends of Mr.. DOUGLAS. 1t went to the
Senate, where it received no help from
Mr.. DOUGLAS, and was defeated by the
Democrats, Mr.. DOUGLAS not voting at
all.
The Pacific mail bills were passed by
the Republican House but defeated in
the Democratic Senate.
An excellent Homestead bill was pass
ed by the Republican House but defeat
ed in the Democratic Senate.
A bill for the admission of Kansas
was passed by the Republican House
and defeated by the Democratic Senate,
Mr.. DOUGLAS giving it no aid whatev-
er.
All the legislation called for by the
country was promptly considered by the
Republican House, and passed in shape
acceptable to the great majority of the
people, but was mostly thwarted and de-
feated by Democrats. On the first day
of the session the Democrats sprung the
"nigger question upon both houses,
and kept it there persistendy. JEFF DA-
v1s's new Democratic platform occupied
more time than any. other one subject
before Congress, and its discussion was
participated in almost wholly by Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. DOUGLAS speaking longer,
probably, than any other man. During
the whole time the Republicans sought
every opportunity TO bring up the Home
stead bill and other useful measures.
Nearly the only speeches made by Mr..
DOUGLAS were upon the slavery question.
He ignored almost every other subject
before the Senate, dod ging almost all
other votes. In 1859, both parties de-
clared that they would resist all attempts
at agitating the slavery question in Con
gress or out of it, But Mr.. DOUGLAS
was the man who, in defiance Of this de-
claration, repealed sacred compromise,
and again lighted the fires of discord
And yet he has the unparalleled assur-
ance, in view of this, and his record OF
last winter, to stand before an intelligent
New England audience, and complain
that the business of the country is not
attended to because of slavery agitation
Can impudence wear a bolder face than
this

that no slave should be carried into it
except by the owner, and for his OWE
use as a settler. The penalty in each
case being fine upon the violator of
the law and freedom to the slave. 1t is
thus clear that the right of Congress to
control the question of slavery in the
territories was asserted and acted upon
by the men who helped frame the Con-
situation. Did those men know what
powers were granted by the Constitu-
ton =? Most assuredly they did. Is
their policy identical with the policy OF
the Republican party? Most certainly
it is. Did they subvert the right of self
government No one will so contend.
Does the Republican policy subvert that
right? 1t is "clap-trap to so assert.

Terrible Accident.-3jO Lives Lost.

The steamer Lady Elgin, of the Lake
Superior line, which left Chicago on the
night of the 9th inst, with some 400 ex-
cursionists on board, mostly belonging
to Milwaukee, was run into about quar-
ter after O'Clock the next morning, by
the Schooner Augusta, of Oswego, and
SO badly injured that she sank in half an
hour, carrying down with her nearly all
on board. Twenty-one persons escaped
in the boats, and these are the only ones
known to have been saved. HERBERT

Douglass Enrontcry.

E1- Ii anything was wanting TO prove
Mr.. DOUGLAS the brazen faced dema-
gogue, it will be found in his recent
speeches in New England, while in search
of his mother. The Civilian two weeks
ago published his New Hampshire speech
a repetition of his Boston etfort-in
which he has the unparalleled impu-
dence to complain that the slavery ques-
ton excludes other business from the at
tenton Of Congress. He asks tho peo-
pie Of New England why the revenue
system was not revised why the Paci-
fic Railroad bill was not passed why
the mail system was not reformed why
no proper mail to the Pacific was estab-
lished. And he tells them it was for
want of time, because the slavery ques-
ton was paramount. Now look at the
facts, and see how clearly Mr.. DouGLAs
there condemns himself and the Demo
cratic party with which he acted.
In the last Congress the Republican
House did revise the revenue system,
and sent the bill to the Democratic SEN
ate. But the Democratic members OF
that body were 50 busily engaged in dis
cussing JEFF DAyIs's new party plat
form that there was no time 10 attend 10
the revenue, and the bill failed.
The Republicans Of the House worked
manfully for a Pacific Railroad bill, but
were thwarled by the Democracy at ey-
cry point, they being too busy discussing
the "nigger."
A bill reforming the mail system was

Judson's Mountain Herb Pills.

How strange and wonderful it often seems to
us that medicine composed Of simple noun
tain herbs and roots should SO certainly search
out and cure disease. How surprising that the
Indians should know and preserve so long and
well secret that has escaped the search Of the
greatest physicians the world has ever SEEN
True the ancient inhabitants of Mexico were a
strange race, found by the Spaniards living in
large cities, and allowing for their strange Gus
toms and religion, as well civil zed as their
conquerors. In the words of writer of some
celebrity. +" They have persisted from the earth,
their cities are gigantic piles of ruins, their
Kings and Princes so mighty in their life, are
forgotten /; their ruins and their medicine alone
are left" The united testimony Of all inteli-
gent persons is, that Judson's Mountain Herb
Pills are the most successful in the world in
curing disease.

secure the Presidency-after having ca
ten dirt, and crawled on his belly, court

under the influence of a dangerous agi
tation-after eating his own words, and
denouncing his own record-after turn
ing divers summersaults, and stultifying
himself repeatedly, and all with an eye

zen facedness to tell the country that
he would prefer his seat in the Senate to

that he made sacrifice in accepting the
latter !! This he said to the people of
