will strive to complete their line before the
Eastern companies extend theirs westward
TO Salt Lake, to join the California portion.

The Repubnc Is Peace.

If an extreme anxiety on both sides to
preserve peace between the Confederates
and the Government of the disunited States,
will do the business, we need have no fear
that the dogs of civil war will be let slip.
When men are anxious to be held, there is
but little danger of fighting. On one side
the Government is crying peacel peacel
when the peace is all on one side, and is do
ing every thing to avoid shedding that drop
of fraternal blood which is to FIRE the South
ern heart, rally all the slave States to make
the Confederate cause theirs, and make re-
construction impossible.
On the other, the Confederates, although
they don't care any thing about shedding
fraternal blood, except their own, are just
ss anxious for peace, for they know that TO
them peace bath its victories more renowned
than war; and they know if they should &C

Removing Park Temptations

Judge Key has introduced a bill to repeal
the act authorizing the City Council of Gin
cinnati to borrow money to buy parks. 1t
passed the Senate unanimously last week.
The House should pass it in the same sum-
mary manner. This grant makes it osten-
sibly the duty of the Council to buy a park,
or parks. Of course, there are always pleoty
of patriots, with magnificent real estate
projects, ready to aid them in discharging
this duty. The city has escaped thus far,
though it has had some splendid opportuni-
ties offeIed it. The temptation should be
taken away, before it is too late. The Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad swindle is enough
to show that if the opportunity is offered, a
combination will be made strong enough to
improve it; and when the circumstances
are favorable, journals which are quite viz
tuous now on this park matter, may become
as public-spirited for parks as then for rail-
roads.
There ia no ground within reach of the
densely populated part of the city that can
be bought for a park. A park outside the
S1N1 lOL pSOpiS w ueV WhO AaNO SdlILdBcot OF
to be reached by railroads, would be simply
an imposition on the people. Furthermore,
for this city, almost destitute of sewers, and
with many of its streets smelling to Heaven,
to spend money enough for some insccessi-
BILE place for a park, to sewer the leading
streets of the whole city, would be as if a
man should spend all his money for a rufled
shirt, when he had no shoes on his feet.
Thorough sewerage and clean streets are
vastly more important to this city than any
possible or impossible parks. We are to
have the Orphan Asylum Lot for a parade
and play. ground. That is excellent, both
for the military spirit and for the rising gen.
Grafton. If we had a few more squares Of
the same sort, for play grounds for the boys,
where baseball, cricket, wicket, running,
leaping, wrestling, pitching the bar, and all
boys play could flourish in their natural
state, it would be worth more to the city
than any park. We don't require any power
TO borrow money for this. Let the Legisla-
ture take away its grant, that it never had
any power to give, and lead US not into
temptation.

Veteran Patriot.

Medsry, the veteran editor of 1.-THE periodical
Crisis, says that to lease the canals on the
proposition which has passed the House
would be a very big swindle; but if the Leg
islature will let him and his company have
them, it will be all right.
This is something like the chap who
wanted TO know, whats the use ofbeing a
fellow unless you can be a hell of a fellow 2"
What's the use of having a swindle unless
you can have, &c2"-we don't like to use
profanity in the PRESS.
The veteran getter-up of crises also offers,
If the Legislature will put him over the
Board of Public Works, to reduce the ex.
penses vastly, and make them Day.
The Legislature can judge of his capacity
for making things pay by reviewing the
State-house contracts while that magnificent
work was under his charge. That was made

The CazetIe,, ProvIdepce.


The following sound and devout views of
slavery aOd Providence we find in the Ga
zette:
"The origin and progress of the cotton cul-
ture in the United States has been more sud-
den than the growth of the Hebre VS. 10 the
land of Egypt, and its end may be as sudden
as their exit. Providence, in history, shows
many similar examples, whose moral pur-
pose was mysterious at the time, but which
was made clear in after times. Why were
the Hebrews in Egypt2 To preserve them,
and educate them 10 the arts necessary for
the conquest and culture of their own land.
If cotton ceases to be profitable, and there.
fore ceases to be a staple in this country,
what use have we for negroes, except to re
store them TO the land where that culture is
profitable We believe the negro is, of all
men on earth, the proper one to cultivate
cotton"
So, we zee, God purposed to make a favor
lite people of the Hebre We, and to bless them
above all people; SO he put them in slavery
to the Egyptians 600 years, "to preserve
them and educate them in the arts neces
saTy for the conquest and culture of their
own land"
So we are doing to the negroes, to pre-
serve and educate them. AS it took 600
years to prepare and educate the Hebre VS.,
the negro will see that he has not half
served out his time. He should see the
ways of Providence, and be obedient to his
matter.
The moral purpose Of Providence Used to
be mysterious at the time; so the writer
saysi history revealed it; but he can see
right through Gods neral purpose with the
negro. 1t is to raise cotton here until it
ceases to be profitable, and then take the
negro back where the culture is profitable.
II seems Divine Providence is chiefly en-.
gsged in raising cotton. Cotton is king
above as well as below.
From this we derive sundry moral reAec-
tons. Gods method of preserving and edu-
eating his chosen people is to enslsve them
600 years or morei the longer the more
thorough the education. Having educated
them BY this thorough course, he leads them
about the wilderness until all the Egyptian
graduates have died; then be begins anew
with them under bis own personal tuition.
The purpose of God with the negro, is to
raise cotton. This, like a wise planter, he
will do where it is profitable. So long as
cotton planting continues profitable il
America, it is the will Of Providence tina
the negro Should remain here in slavery
His destiny is in~dissOlubly bound up in cot
ten and cotton Is Providence with a sharI
eye 10 its profits.
Nothing is so eccentric as the Provl-
denee people make for themselves. The In,
alA-EneeeF man is nothing, compared with
the contortions aud metamorpbOses people
make their PrOvidences perform. The old
lady thought that TO reverse the English.
Was to speak German, So people reverse ali
common sense and make the theory uttel
folly, and then call il the mysterious work
ing Of PIoVidenoe.

among whom were Timothy Mahon aud
