In this connection it is right that honorable
mention and exception he made of the Cabinet
officer from Indiana, and as an Indiana man
thank him that his official conduct allows me this
pleasure. | said the history of the Republican
party is being written in public ruin, and does
any MIN hesitate TO believe it? If SO let me re-
fer him to broken institutions, to Il disturbed
commerce and Interrupted trade. to Il derangcd
currency and the low prices of all our valuable
productions, and let me ask, is public rnin not
marked uponall? In whist single thing that we
value are we as secure we We're before
the Republican party came into power? Is it in
dividual? or public credit? Your deprecated cs-
tatcs and the bonds OF Indiana refused in the mar
ket at eighty cents on the dollar, furnish the an
swcr. Is it individual security and liberty?
Hear the response in the grolns OF men confined
without charge, and denied the privilege of II
trial. Is it the honor Of the nation? The sur
render of Mason and Slidcll tells that we
have for the first time in our history bent the
knee to an ancient foe. The times never so
demanded a thorough and efficient organization
of the Democratic party as at the present. Throw
out the banner and upon its ample folds let the
people see inscribed their time honorcd prnc
pies, and they will gladly rally round it as of
yore!

none but a usurper would deprive them Of these

New RECEIPr-We find the following
''receipt for making an Abolitionis," in the
Abba Qowa) Gazette. If it does not accom-.
plish the object for which it is intended, if
taken according to directions, why, there is
no use of trying further. The author should
receive patent and a professorship immedi-
ataly. Here is the receipt:
Take the herbs OF hypocrisy and the roots
Of ambition two handsfull, of pride two, two
ounces of vain glory, bruise them in mortar
of contention with peste of dscord, then
boil it over the fire Of sediton and strain it
through cloth Of rebellion into q bottle of
envy and stop it close with cork of malice,
seal it wit ha cloth of self righteousness;
then let it stand until you see a scum Of
falsehood rise on the top. Then take two
spoonsfulls every night on going to bed.
Work it off with lengthy lecture and a
pitiful sigh, with a hyprocritical prayer and
deceptive groan. 1t will produce such an
effect that YOU will think of nothing but dei
fraudinc and undermining your neighbors
1t is thought tha, this receipt well attended
to, will make leading character among
the Abolitionsts.

The New York correspondent of the San
Francisco CaN telling how people get rich
says:
The Daily Wom newspaper, here has lost
one of its original founders, Alexander
Cummings. The World was started year
or ago as a "pious daily" by IA stock
company composed of affluent men who de-
sired to have religious daily paper. Cum
mngs, who had been the publisher of the
Evening Bulletin, in Philadelphia, was i'm
ported to this city for manager of the
World. Over $l5O,oo0 was sunk in the
enterprise before the saints discovered that
journalism and piety were two distinct things
and could no more protitably mix than oil
and water. Finally the Courier and E'qqui-
rer was about to give up the ghost, when
Col. w bio secured mission abroad. and the
World bought up Webb's paper and "an'
nexed" it. Still it did not pay But Cum
mings had been the bosom friend Of Simon
Cameron, the Secretary Of War; for years.
Cameron, therefore, gave Cummings pri-
vate appoi tmeat to purchase and hire YES
sells, make contracts, etc., for the War
Department, although two officers of the
regular army were here, in health, fully
competent and left with nothing to do by
this arrangement. What cared Cameron?
lie wanted to enrich Cummings, and he did
it, The Investigating Committee shows the
most extraordinary acts in This connection.
Cameron placed two millions of dollars at
Cummings command; asked no vouchars
cared nothing for the prices demanded, and
you can imagine the rest. Cummings is
a millionaire. He has left this World and is
going to better-I mean he ha, retired
from the newspaper aud is going to Europe

WHAT ENGLAND THINKS OF AMERICAN
SHAMEN = I'he London Saturday Reotew is
luaily red in oiscusscne the chances of
II war between England aud the United

"skippers' will make sad havoc among the
British merchantmen, in the event of An
outbreak of hostlitcs. Here are It's admis.
si0ns:
The American naval alventu;er has pen'
tv # shrewdne,s, of resource, and of that
kind of courage which kIn,lIes al the pros
pecl Of porke,iny another persons dollars.
We may rely upon it that he will turn up
where we least ex, ecl him, aud will give
our ships OF war Il vast deal Of trouble, and
intict upon our merchanl!Ies severe losses.
The honor of the British flag must be vindil
Gated, even at the heavy price which we are
certain to have to pay, in trade disturbed,
and property captured and destroyed. No
doubt we shall sometimes enjoy the consoa-
tion of hearing that our cruisers have caught
some notorious privateer. There will be a
fine field open for the skill and activity ofour
naval officers; and if only the Admiralty de-
ternlne to have mono but efficient ships, we'll
manned, disciplined and commanded, there
need be no apprehension that the general
result of the war will not be favorable But
it will be war in every quarter of the world.
The more disturbed becomes the prospect OF
the United States at home, the stronger will
be the temptation to adventurous spirits to
seek their fortunes on the ocean. Eve

DIsUNIoN VS.. ABoLTIoNIsM.-It seems
strange what a delusion has taken possession
of the public mind. In the South disunion
is the "only alternative" while here with
many, Abolltionsm is the 'only alternative" j"
We feel an abiding confidence that the truth
lies between these extremities and that both
sections will and must come to the convc-
ton sooner or later, that the Union must be
restored and Abo|itionism put down. The
North will never consent to two Confed'
eraces except at the conclusion of long,
bloody and disastrous war. The South will
never agree to the rule of Abolitonism
except all her sons and even daughters are
slaughtered What the vast majority on
both sides want is the Union Of our fathers.
We have all the elements of splendid ma
tionality. Why shonld this young and
growing nation thus commit suicide? Shall
it soon cast off its glorious memories, its
heroic achievements? 1t seems incompre
henslble that any sane mind can wish for thu
breaking up Of this grand Confederacy o
States, which has not u single material inter
est that will be benefited by disunion, while
it has thousands to be benefited by the
Union. Caucasian.

deadly weapon has recently been invented
and patented by parties in Sheffield, Eng

instrument of warfare, with bowie and
other useful knives attached; also a box to
contain the charges, which are in one piece,
and the cap, powder and bullet are cast to
eether 1t is loaded at the breech, and can
be charged and fired IL times per minute,
will kill at 100 or 10 yards and is, with
out exception, the most complete aud com
