ExcoURAOg lnNlGRArloN.-Th 10 no
city on the Mississippi River from its
source thereof even to the delta, that pos
sesses that beauty Of locality that Daven
port does. Nature has done her share
she has poured out her favors most bounti-
fully, and left but little for man to do by
way Of improvement. This fact alone draws
and will continue to draw q great many
people to this point. But Notwithstanding
all that nature has done, our citizens have
duties still to perform 10 induce people to
come here. The first thing man does af
ter coming here to settle is TO look up .
home-to invest in property. Az . pur-
chaser he sh 3uld be treated with considers
ton, and though = stranger, he should not
10 "taxen in''-in . financial way. We
have heard Of citiss where they are in the
habit of doing such things, but we hope 70
hear Of nothing Of the sort in Davenport
Property holders are not expected to give
away their property, but they should gives =
stranger al tho chances in purchasing that
would be given to the Oldest inhabitant.
Another thing: the citizens Of Davenport,
in order to encourage immigration, should
show Hat We hase sot : lice city thak VI,
as people, are not waiting for outsiders to
come in and make all the improvements in
the way Of building up manufactures, but
that we are earnest and active in that
branch Of industry ourselves. II fstrangers
see for themselves, or read in the papers
that the people Of Davenport are taking the
advantage Of their natural resources, and
srs erscting manufactures, they will argue,
very naturally, that this Is thriving place
that Davenport has 6attering future iu
store for her, consequently they will feel "a
anxiety to take tue advantage u the rising

RENrs-Don't crowd matters too rashly,
Messrs. Landlords, lest you overstep the
bounds Of reason, drive men away who
would like to stay in Davenport; aud finally
bring yourselves up with ''round turn"
and lay yourselves out Hatter than you were
five years ago. Lot your moderation be
known, lest you kill the goose that lays the
golden egg. Wekave known of instances
where men made more by being moderate
and pursuing An even tenor in the matter
Of supplying ttadesman and others with
stores and dwellings. It may be al right
and profitable, when you get tenant into
sharp corner, where you know be cannot
get out, to crowd him to he wall BY raising
your rents rapidly, and beyond reason. II
history vindicates such policy it will be
something new. We don't apply these re-
marks to al landlords, but wherever the
coat fits-why put it on. The renting bus
,ness is nov At its height. To those who
hsve shown mercy let US be mercifdl. To
those who have not, let them slide. There
will be no reason to complain Of scarcity Of
dwelling houses in town after the next three
months. We wish to zee brisk demand
again we must 60 to work like sensible citi-
zens to create it.

HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF FAGREEABLE.

Il
Ifyou want tomake yourselfvery agree
able in aprinting Office, step into the sane
tum first. If the editor is writing or proof
reading, take seat alongside of him, and
tell him how you startedin business, about
your dog, your horse or your wife and ba-
by, or all you can remember about school
boy sports. Should the editor manifest a
disposition to be inattentive to your story,
stick to it, and go through with it Should
one of the compositors, or the "devil," step
up and ask for copy, or whether the proof
is read, or if either is done, you should,
by all means, ask what the articleis about,
and insist upon seeing it. Of course the
editor viii read it for you, and profit by
your opinion as to Its fitness TO go into the
columns of the paper.
The following bit of information will
be of interest if you desire to 60 a step
further, to entertain the printers:
Step into the composing room and ask
each one of the hands as many questions
as to the cases, letters, DC, as may be agree
able to yourself Then begin to whistle.
All PRIMERS are louHu VI mnlslllhS' NiFe
them at least three or four jigs. Then ask
the foreman whether he hasn't quarter or
SO, to treat. If you don't do that he will
feel sighted if he is true man. Before
leaving the office you should take hold of
the hand press-give it pull and let it
fly back, Just to see how it works. fpos-
sible give the power press turn and don't
forget to examine everything in the shape
of matter on the stone, even if you should
knock some of it into pi-that will only
put the patience of the printer to fair
test. When you leave the Office be sure
to promise another visit by tomorrow or
next day, and our word for it You will not
be forgotten by the printer for al long while.

CoNsOLiDATION.

The fear of consolidation or centraliza-
ton which haunts some honest minds in
this country curiously obscures them
They seem to suppose that in some III
scrutable way the city of Washington and
the national Government may play the
same part among us that Paris and the
central Government play in France. The
bugbear of decentralization" vexes their
sleep. 'sWhat," they cry, 'would you
touch the local governments, the muuici-
pal system which is the very palladium Of
our hberties!"
Hereis palpable confusion. The Gov
ernment of the United States is the peo-
ple Of the United States. 1t is not pow
er Independent of the people and hostile
TO it and maintaining itself by standing
armv-it is the whole body of the peo-
pie themselves; and no natural right, like
that of personal liberty, for instance, is
auv where safe if it be not guaranteed by
them. Indeed, ifthe principle of a popu-
lar government be sound, that the people
ought to govern, because such method
is the surest pledge of popular liberty, why
is that liberty endangered by confiding it
to the whole people instead Of part of
theml
If the national Government stood in the
same relation to the States that medieval
feudal baron did to his dependents, or
prince to a circle Of free cities, the fear of
naturalization or of some form of govern
mental tyranny would be more natural
But as it is, it is misconception of the
necessary character and tendency of our
system. The counties Of State might
as well fear the ceatralizing power of the
State as the State for that of the Union
The people are the source of power in
al of them.
Asa matter of fact the local State gov
eminent have never been the security of
our personal and political rights. All the
assaults upon the principles of our institu-
tons, all the signal overthrow of personal
and political rights have been the work of
States. For the whole people iswiser and
nobler than any portion of them. And
hence the overpowering importance of the
Emancipation Amendment. Its very OBJ
ject is toplace the personal liberty ofevery
American citizen beyond any local or sub
ordinate power whatever, because such
responsibility cannot be safely delegated.
The population of State has rights, but
the people of the United States have rights,
and the protection of citizen of the Uni
ted States cannot be intrusted to any other
authority than that of the Government Of
which he is part-Harper's Weekly.

A London paper publishes description
of curious invention designed to catch
safe burglars. The deprator no sooner
commence, in perfect ignorance of the Sc
cret arrangements, to force upon the door,
drill the lock or move the safe, than by
so doing he sends a telegraph message to
the nearest possible office, exhibiting the
number of the safe he is attacking, and
this number, registered in the police books,
has opposite to it the address Of the house
in which the robbery is being effected.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1865-12-15

The local editor of the Richmond In
diana) Telegram recently passed a COM
Portable corner residence in that city, and
from the open windows Of the parlor the
notes from a piano came pouring forth,
accompanied by the inevitable, "Oh, who
will care for mother now I" Passing around
the corner, his way led by the window of
the kitchen, and over the steaming cook
ing-stove, and surrounded with all the
appurtenances of cooking, he had the op-
portunity of witnessing "dear mother"
caring for herself and all the family besides.
His admiration for the daughters musical
talents underwent collapse.
