Human Nature.


We live in a world which has repaid,
often with the deepest pain, the hearts.
that have most earnestly sought its we'll
being-a world which awarded martyr
dom to Socrates and Jesus, and which
still bestows, on occasions, its crowns Of
thorns. We live in an epoch in which,
above all others in history, gold has ac-
cumulated among the foremost nations Of
our globe, and in which certainly, the
manifested soul and honor and reflection
of those same nations threatens US with
incessant proofs of a dwindling and dis
appearance in corresponding ratio

or bank accounts. We glorify the man
who sweeps the very horizons of the
nations with some wave of excitement,
however empty its purpose. however false
or even fatal the return he proposes and
bcstows for the popular adulation and
subserviency. And thus We arc in dan.

p1 Henry Clay Dean, after his arrest
at Keokuk, was not taken down to St.
Louis as was reported. He was placed
in the guard house at Keokuk where he
remains at the present time. It will be
remembered that, Immediately after his
arrest, Judge Clagett, Of whom Dean was
an honored guest at the time he was
nabbed, publicly denied all political fel-
lowship with Dean. The Judge declared
that be was not answerable for any of the
offences of Dean. He further intimated
that Dean had gone to his house with
out invitation; and that he DEAN was
an unvelcome guest. We learn that
Dean has lately been meditating very Sc
riously on the ingratitudc of friends. He
declares that he has a pyramid of letters
at home, written By Judge Clagett, which
urged him 10 the strongest terms to as
sumo position of antagonism toward the
Government. He avows that it was
CIagett's influence which has dishonored
his name, and brought him to the guard
house. So at least VIC are informed. The
"Besscd Martyr has become very con-
trite since his arrest. He is anxious to
be released. He says that he will stipu-
late, as a condition Of his liberation, that
he will make no more public or private
peeches against the Government during
the war. He further agrees that he will
remain permanently in any town in the
State where the authorities see ft to 10.
cate him. He asks, however, as favor,
that he may be allowed to make one
speech at Keokuk. His theme will be
THOMAS w. CLAaErT! We are inclin-
cd to the opinion that Dean ought to
make that speech.

TINS ELEcrIoss as the returns come 10, are
more decidedly union than the friends Of that
cause dared TO hope for, Such had been the
d.aaot tone OF the sympsthizers 10 their boast
ful, ess, that the timid, at least, could hardly
avoid the conclusion, that uuionism would bt
left without u fooihold, aud that "prvy conspir
acy aud rebellion" would hold high carnival
throu xhout the land. The elections, therefore
are not little surprizing. They show q differ
eut state Of things, and prove opc'usively the
truth OF what we asserted last week, that the
party so seduously devoted to partizan organi-
cation, and the blocking the wheels Of COVE rn-
ment, and neuiraiizing sfits Efforts 10 stife the
rebellion, had passed the zenith of its Influence
That the furore raised for the quickening of the

impulses OF the true citizen. The influence 81
round with the tide, who had denounced with
ecoming vebemence, the attack upon Sumter
and whose patriotic hearts swelled with 'ndIg'
nation at the causeless initiation OF war
against the government, but the spell soon lost
its potency, and they have, as these elections
now show, made haste TO regain their former,
and true position. The Vailandighams, the
OIds, tue Woods, the Seymours, and the Tou-
seys, have occupied the stage and strutted their
brief hour. Henceforth their ignominny is
fixed, and as enduring and damning as apostacy
and treason only can render it. Rhode Island
New Hampshire, and our own glorious little
Connecticut, and now the local elections of The
present week in this and other States, have
placed the seal Of reprobation upon copper
headsm. The election in Connecticut gives
forth no uncertain note. The issne was made
plain and unmistakable Seymour's letters and
speeches deuouncieg the war, and dema nding
peace on any terms agreeable to the rebels

tnblshes the soundness and ortb bodoxy Of the
sentiment of the State. The State ticket by
$500, both branches of the legislature, aud 3
oxt Of the 4 members Of Congress-one gain,
will not be mistaken, probably. Then, what is
the lesson of the local elections! Cleveland I,
Ointinnati ST. Louis and even Jefferson City
the Capital of Missouri, has elected Union
Mayor. But we cannot go into detail. 1t
is sufficient that the wands of the magicans and
soothssyers have lost their power, and he sen

dropped, aud brokers found it much more diff
