Reply TO IAN Old settlers W lie. y

EDITOR ARGUs--In reply to an article in
the Union OF last Saturday, signed, 'Oid Set
tiers Wife," | would say that women are ad-
mitted to all the privileges OF the association,
and they are exempted from ell its hard
ships, while the constitution requires male
members to sign 1t and pay 81 90 and 81 90
thereafter. annually and such other assess
ments as may, from time to time, be imposed
BY tie society, and to do all the work of Or
gsni2ation, getting up festivals, &c, 80, it
excuses the females from all this, but invites
them all to the privileges of the festival oc-
casion without money and without price
If any wife of an Old Settler" desires to at
tend the festival, and all ara invited, she can
do So if she has DO money. Nor does the
wife of q man. eu titled to mem bersnip herself,
make her husband member who would not
be otherwise She only brings him to the
privileges ot the festive occasion, merely to be
her company.
Perhaps the article in the Union was writ
tren by an "Oid Settlers Wife," but it don't
read that way to me- Will the outsiders be
good enough to lot the old settlers alone? We
will take good care of all "Old Settlers
Wives E" We think we appreciate their early
tolls, privations and hardships with US, quite
well these outside intermedlers

A Dream.

A few nights since friend of of ours, while
wrapped in the slumbers of midnight, dreamed
q dream, and imagined he was a pleasure ex-
cursion to the internal regions. His sight was
RECALLED with many scenes novel; strange and un-
dreamed of in the philosophy of man. While IN
the reception room of his majesty, the pleasant
little imp who acts as usher announced f'Thad-
deus Stevens ~
Satan actually trembled in his sulphurous
boots, aud quick uprising asked:
"What, that noisy fellow from Pennsvlva-
mia:
YEA responded the usher
''Send him back send him back :" cried
Satan. ''There ia no place for him here"
But" responded the little devil, who seemed
to enjoy an event which promised to knock the
sand from under his imperial chief, "You must
receive him he can't 90 anywhere else"
Satan walked the floor with rapid strides for &
few moments, when suddenly he stopped and
said Il hsyeit He may have few bushels of
birthstone ana box of matches and go off and
start little hell of his own. "Natchce Courier.

What is Congress Doing.

The farmers are frequently asking what
congress is doing. They are anxious to know
if anything is being done to relieve them
from the heavy weight of taxation that is so
previously weighing them down, or the bur
dens that are saddled upon them by New
England extor,ionists and monopo!ists; and
they may ask in vain.
Congress has now been in session over two
months. and not a bill has been offered or a
word spoken in favor of the tsx-ridden, down
,rodden people of the great northwest. The
time of the members is taken up IN glority.
ing the everlasting niger, comforting civil
and political rights on him, and teathering
the nestp of Yankee manufacturers. And no
relief will be had till the people come togeth-
ar and resolve to hurl from office the band of
pestiferous, blood-thirsty fanatics who are de-
termined to perpetuate their fanatical power
or utterly destroy the country and the best
interests of the people.-NomnouM Rerie'o.

COunterfeiting.

The counterfeitlng of the national currency
has become so fearful and growing an evil
that it is proposed in congress, as remedy,
to make the crime punishable by death. In
view of the movement, the New York Post.
stauDch republican paper. says that con-
gross ought to be reminded that it's own &C.
sion has offered a premium to counterfeiters :;
and it adds
Under our former banking system every
bank In the country had its own devices, it's
own plates, and took especial precaution to
guard iss notes against forgery, Great skill
and ingenuity were developed in this way !;
and though we had hundreds of banks, the
tribe of counterfeiters had a hard time of it,
and a false note could not long pass undetect-
ed. But since the national bank system has
obtained, it is complained that counterfeiting
has increased fearfuiiy. No wonder. The
system seems to have been devised for the
accommodation of rogues; and the national
currency act might be called, without MUS
tiGe, an act for the promotion of counterfeit
ing and the encouragement OF false issues.
Compare the note of a national bank in
Maine and one of national bank in Nilsson
II, of the same denomination, and you will
find them exactly alike. They are printed
from plates mace from the same QloS lace
and back, lettering, scroll work, figures, all
in every particular alike. Only the name of
the bank is peculiar to each There are. it
is said, some two or three hundred persons in
the country whose chosen profession is the
manufacture and circulation of forged notes.
These men must have been generally delight
ed when they became aware of the national
currency scheme. There are amongst them
skillful engravers, who had given years of
practice to initiating the work of their honest
rivals time after time they had seen them
selves defeated and exposed, their most skill
full limitations thrown out, their secret and
hazardous la5ors lost Often they had been
discouraged, for the skill and ingenuity of
the honest engraver, constantly encouraged
and rewarded by the numerous banks, defeat
ed all their attempts. We remember reading
year or two before the war that counterfeit
ing had ceased to be profitable business.
But congress came to it's aid, as it did to the
help of some others which were likewise declar-
ed to be Improbable. Congress ordained a ma
tional currency which should all be alike No
amount of protection ever demanded and carried
by Mr.. Morrill, did so much for q manufacturer
as this measure did for the counserfeiter. Be-

Interesting to Pork Eaters.

Whether pork is wholesome and agreeable
article of diet or whether it is a dangerous and
detestable carron, depends entirely on the food
on which it subsists. If cattle and sheep are
not properly fed, they viii not fatten; but pro-
verbally clean feeders, and the sharpest pangs
of hunger will not induce them to degrate from
that character. Pigs, on the contrary, are ON
nivorous they will eat anything and everything,
from roots and beanmeal to Sinking fish and
small babies. They will eat each other With
greatest relish; indeed, thanks to pigs, the pub
lie have no choice but to consume, in one shape
or the other the diseased meat watch is now so
abundant in our markets. If it is too bad to be
sold as butchers meat-if it is too bad to be
chopped and seasoned into sausages-it is still
good enough for pigs, which eat it and fatten
upon it and the public eat them. Carrion-fcd
pigs are not indeed very healthy; they are liable
to all sorts of strange diseases, which kill them
off in large numbers; but then the survivors eat
the pigs who have pre-diseased them, and the
pnblic eat the survivors. 1t stated in evil
dence before a committee of the house of COM
mons, that the pgfeedArs in and around London
never themselves eat pork or allow their families
to do so.

guides are much more free than they can
we'll afford to be in Offering for intellectual
consumption and the general enlightenment.
This Is Mr. Madison's summary:
at is fundamental principle of the proposed
constitution, that as the aggregate number OF re-
representatives. allotted to the several states is to
be determined by federal rule, founded on the
aggregate number of inhabitants,-so the right OF
choosing this allotted number IN each state IS to De
exercised by such part Of The Inhabitants as the state
itself may Designate"
Here is exactly the position taken by President
Johnson, in steadily refusing to employ executive
power for supplaptng state authority IN estab-
fishing qualifications for electors. he holds the
sound constitutional ground, as the trainers and
fathers of that sacred Instrument all did, that
this was the province of the state alone and that
the imposition of any sort of conditions upon the
local governments by the general government, in
the exercise of fundamental authority, would
be an act of unqualified usurpation and tyranny.
But hear Mr.. Madison still further:
''The qualifications on which the right of suf-
| frage depends, are not perhaps the same in any
two states, In some of the states the difference
is very material. In every state, a certain pro-
portion of inhabitants are deprived of this right
by the constitution of the state, who will be III
cluded in the census by which the federal con-
stitution apportions the representatives. In this
point of view, the southern states might retort
the complaint by insisting, that the principle
laid down by the convention required that nc
! regard should be had to the policy of particular
| states towards their own inhabitants and con
sequently that the slaves, inhabitants, should
have been admitted into the census according
to their full number, in like manner with othel
| inhabitants, who, by the policy of other states
are not admitted to.al the rights of citizens
| A rigorous adherence, however, to this princi
pie is waived by those who would be gamers b.
it. All that they ask is, that eqsal moderation
be shown on the other side
This was the part of Mr. Madison's paper 70
the Tribune to reproduce, and thus save the dem
ocratic press the trouble. Can anything b
palmer than that the writer was advocating
nothing like what the radicals would impute t
him, and particularly that he did not defend
project, to which state then in existenc
would have submitted a moment for enablin
the general government TO override the loca
governments and comforting citizenship on whor
it might choose ?--B0stOa Post.

He may fail once, but he can afford to try again
and again, for he knows that if he once hits that
mark the whole currency of the country Is open
to him he is made for life; he may break up

Therefore counterfciting has increased, by act
of congress, and now congress Is asked 10 punish
the counterfeiter with death. Half century
ago this was the legal punishment for the crime
in England; counterfeiters and forgers were
strung up by the dozen; but counterfeiting was
not stopped; and at last the death penalty was
repealed because it was acknowledged to have
