s~A young chap of our acquaintance
saws that the first time he put his arm
around calico, he imagined the world was
paradise, and himself an angel. Our
friend Bill always wore spike tailed blue
coat. Just imagine to yourself an angel
with such raiment.

KINDNESS.

KINDNESS.
BY ALMA 4. CRAWFORD.
Oh, speak u word OF kindness,
til may heal a broken heart;
And to those who group in blindness.
1t may ne" light impart.
In this sad world OF sorrow,
Assist thy fellow man;
Some bliss from heaven borrow,
BY aiding all you can.
Bind up the wounded spirit
The torn AMI bleeding heart
The soul that is sinking. cheer ii,
And bluat fate's poisoned dart.
'Tis but a day we tarry
With those whom God has given,
Then let US try and carry
Their love with Us to heaven.
There's many soul in sadness,
A kindly word might save
From Gark, despairing madness,
Or an untimely grave.

The Bates Movement.

The movement in the Black Republican
party in favor of EDWARD BATES, of Mis-
souri,, for the Presidency, led by the New
York Tribune, shows how much more es-
sential the mea engaged in the movement
deem mere success, with no matter who as
candidate, than the triumph of principle
which they have hitherto held up as car
dinal. In other words, it shows how much
greater Importance they attach to the pos
session of the spoils of power than to the
establishment of anti-slavery doctrines. A
principle of the Black Republican party,
embraced in the Philadelphia Platform,
and held to be cardinal, is "No more slave
States" From the St. Louis Democrat,
which urges the nomination of Mr.. BATES
at Chicago, we learn as follows:
But Mr.. Bates rejects the motto-''No more
slave States" He argues that neither public
policy, precedent, nor the Constitution, author.
ICES Congress or the Executive to discriminate
between free and slave States, in their applica-
ton for admission into the Union; and in this
we fully concur with him. The policy which
received the sanction of the founders of the Re-
public, and which was carried out by jefferson
himself, needs no defense. and may dispense
with eulogy.

A Hit Between the Ewes.

A German citizen of Massachusetts makes
the receipt of Republican speech, unler
the frank of the Hon B. F. JENKINS, of that
State, the occasion for few pertinent re-.
marks in letter to that gentleman, on the
hypocrisy of the Republican leaders and the
deleterious effects of the doctrines and teach
iDgs of the Republican PARTY on the busi-
ness interests of the State, and the peace of
the country. He concludes in this wise:
A reaction has already set in; the masses of
the people begin to consider their own affairs
a little. In Natick, the home of Senator Viii.
son, hve or SIX hundred men are marching
through the streets, carrying banners with in.
scrptions-of what? "Free Kansas" "No
more Slave States, Free Soil for Free Menu"
No, sir. 8 Bread for our Wives and Children!''
is the motto paraded before Mr.. Wilson's win
doWs. The speech which he has sent on here
IN thousands did not supply his constituents
with I" bread for their wives and children"
They ask for "bread,' and he gives them
"stone." They ask for labor, and he sends his
speech. These anti slavery speeches don't fill
the stomach, though they c0nfound the mind
and drive away the customers who buy our
manufactures. If there is an avengng spirit,
these agitators will have to answer for a grave
offence in depriving their fellow men of their
daily bread.
The workmen who have been imposed on
by their Abolition employers are beginning
to think for themselves.

County Commi sslOners.

By the law which passed the Legislature
providing for county government, the people
Of this county will be called upon, on the
first Tuesday Of April, to select FIVE persons
as a Board of County Commissioners. The
people are SO disguised with the knavery
which has characterized the Board of SUI
pervisors, that they will look scrupulously
into the character and antecedents of all
candidates for County Commissioner. They
should do so; and no man whose reputation
is justly tainted with the plundering opera.
lions of the past few years, can be or should
be elected, no matter what may be bis politi-
cal views or professions. If the Demo-
cratic County Committee will, after mature
deliberation and canvass of the sentiments
of the party, name five citizens as candidates
in whose honesty and devotion to the public
welfare the people have confidence, the gen.
tlemen so named can be elected. If an
opposite course is pursued, and the nominal
lions are made by county convention, we
fear the contest for the candidacy will result
in the selection of men obnoxious to the
taxpayers. This will assuredly be the case,
if our more recent county conventions may
be regarded as any indication of the compo-
sition of future assemblages.
We trust the County Committee will take
the matter in hand Immediately, and select
as candidates five men whose availability is
based upon the public appreciation of their
worth and integrity. A county convention
is totally unnecessary.

We notice that Senator WILSON has in
troduced resolution instructing the Com
mittee on the Militia to consider the expe-
diency of transferring the control of the
Indians from the Interior to that of the
War Department. The Indian Department
was originally embraced within the War
Department, and the transfer OF the former
to the Department of the Interior ten years
ago has immensely augmented our frontier
difficulties. The Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Interior are constantly
working at cross purposes, so far as the In
dians are concerned. The Secretary oil
War equips and sends out armies to fight
Indians, armed, equipped and rationed by

Senator Wilson is very important, there.
fore, as it proposes to give the control OF
the Indians to the War Department, where
it properly belongs.

But this fact sealed

approval or rejection. But this fact sealed
the fate of the House bill and the Repub-
licans, fearful to place themselves on record
against it, defeated the measure in cow
ardly manner, by avoiding direct vote
upon its merits.
Throughout the whole proceedings of the
Legislature on this Railroad question, one
fact stands ritz, ID despite of the equivo-
cation and shutting of the majority. The
Republican party did not dare to attempt
any legislation looking to the liquidation Or
settlement of the state bonds, or the con-
struction Of the railroads. What they did
do, was to still farther destroy the credit of
the one, and delay the building of the other.
The propositton--and it is Reputation
proposition, not directly, but meanly and
indirectly-submitted to the people, asserts
in substance
First, That no tax shall be levied to pay
the interest or principal of the state railroad
bonds, until such tax law shall be submitted
to and approved by majority of the voters
of the state voting upon the same.
Second, There shall be no further issue Of
state railroad bonds, and the loan amend
ment is expunged from the constitution.
Third, The state, while expunging the
loan amendment, and thus depriving the
companies of their rights under it, magnani-
mously asserts that such expunging shall not
affect call rights, remedies and forfeitures
accruing Ito the S ate) under said amend
men.."
The only other Legislative act on this
question, is one directing the Governor in
his discretion, in case of default by the COM
panies, to foreclose the trust deeds given by
the companies to the State, and upon sale
of the same, authorizing the Governor in his
discretion, to bid off and purchase the same
for the State of Minnesota.
And this is the adjustment of our
Railroad difficulties--the settlement Of out
standing bonds and the construction of the
roads-for which we are indebted to the
first Republican Legislature Of Minnesota.
May we not hope, in view of these facts, that
it will be the last?

Democratic Victory at Gnlena.

The Courier comes to us with the Demo-
cratic bird "fopping" its wings and scream
ing in shrill tones, over a glorious victory
achieved by the Democracy of Galena, at
the late charter election. The Courier says
We have the qualification of announcing, this
morning, one of the most glorious triumphs
ever achieved by the Democracy of Galena.
We have carried the city, electing our Mayor,
eight of the ten Alderman, and the entire city
ticket, with the exception of Assessor, by an
average majority of ESQ.
Robert Brand is elected Mayor over the most
popular candidate who could have been
brought into the field, by majority of l78.
Never did the Republicans of the city make
more determined fight, and never did they
have candidates better calculated to draw out
all their strenth and arouse all their enthusiasm.
But they have been Frustrated by the power
and might of united and aroused Democracy.

News of our own state.

A PUBLIC meeting was held at Carver,
Carver county, last week, at which the inn
beclllty of the last Legislature was de-
nounced in fitting and truthful terms. j.
A. SARGENT was President, and s. r.
CLARK Secretary of the meeting. The res
buttons denounce the attempt of SEcoMBE
and his associates to centralize the powers
OF the State government, by comforting au-
thority upon the State officers to canvass
the votes and issue certificates of election to
all county officers and members of the Leg
lslature; the registry law, the attempt to
pardon Mrs. BILANsKY, and the apportiou-
ment law are also condemned. The follow.
ing resolution was adopted on the railroad
question:
Resoiued, That the imbecity of the nresent
Legislature is apparent to every INTELLIGENT
cltlzen; IN their not passing any law which
would have tendency to relieve our State
from its present financial embarrassment in
their not furthering the completion of our rail
roads, so far as at present practicable and ne
ceSsary in their not initiating a comnrehen
sive, practical policy, looking to the ultimate
development OF an entire railroad system, and
with it the interests of our State, and having
IN view the most beneficial and statesmanlike
application Of our magnificent land grant for
these purposes; and also in their vascilating
course in neither relieving the present railroad
companies, nor causing their charters to be
annulled.

The "GOOd-Bye to Speaker Coggs-
well.0

Mr.. Speaker CoGGswELL has been sum-
marily drummed out of the Republican
camp, by the Times and Minnesotian and
Secretary BAKER. The Speaker is an hon.
est man, and we don't believe would steal
$4,000 if be had chance that, we pre-
sumo, has secured for him the enmity of the
gentleman from Ohio. And be has adhered
with some tenacity to certain principles of
legislative justice, courtesy, and decency,
which undoubtedly entities him to the de-
nunciation of the Times and Minnesotian.
Mr.. CoGGswELL defined his political po-
sition, in speech he made few days be-
fore the adjournment /; and from the tone of
that speech, we judge, he cares very little
for the assaults made upon him by the Re-
publican organ, which it happens, very un-
fortunately for its present purpose, was re-
pudiated few days since by its own party
in favor of MIR. OssAworTAM1E BROWN, and
will, therefore, be hardly esteemed compe>
tent to thunder forth bull of excommuni>
cation against any man. Mr.. CoeeswELL
in bis speech, said be believed Congress had
authority, and should exercise it, to exclude
slavery from the Territories. So far as be-
lief in that doctrine entitled him to cons
munion in the Republican church, he
claimed to be Republican but under no
circumstances would be permit himself to
be dragooned into the support of measures
of notification, Of unjust registry or appor~
tionment laws, Of resolutions unseating
members because they are Democrats, ard
of other disgraceful propositions Matched
into life in Republican caucuses. This, we
believe, is Mr.. OoeeswELL's platform. 1t
may not reflect credit upon him as Re-
publican politician, but it certainly throws
no dishonor on him as man.
