A Blast ON FISK and BowIes.

From the Anti- slavery Standard.
The New York journals are wasting great
deal of excellent Indignation on Mr.. Fisk, for
the course he took in the matter of Bowles, OF
the Springfield Republican. When we remem'
ber the abuse and insolence lavished by Mr.
Bowles, from his towards CASTLE on every true
man for the last fft cen years, we think such
an offender has nothing to complain OF. he
has only been paid in his own coin. The COM
batants seem about equally matched; though,
to be sure, Mr.. Fisk, a new beginner, cannot
expect fully TO equal Mr.. Bowles, who Is vete-
ran in this fine art.
II Mr.. Bowlss had recalled George Thomsons
faithful dealing with him. W hen that gentleman
aud his friends were mobbed In Springfield
seventeen years ago-and the scores OF times
since that he has done his utmost TO poison the
mind of Western Massachusetts, against the
best men in the State. he might have used his
prison hours In profitable. II penitential,
ineditations-a much better employment than
Whimpering.
The Springfield Republi lioan, like the Boston
Advertiser has belonged, in times past, TO q
class OF Journalists noted for abusing those
men whose personal appropriately made It safe
and sometimes profitable, TO abuse them. For

Mr.. Allen j. Hnbbs. for many years a manu-
facturer and dealer in furniture on N. Second

at his residence, near Frankford, aged fifty-

reputation Ia his business but had great ability
for building, and his means and talents so APP

THE LIFE OF JEFF. DAVIS with
Secret History of the Confederacy, by Z. A .
Pollard
We have received the above entitled
book, and given it such examination as our
limited time has permitted. Mr. Pollard
has written a work o. great merit, original
ity and egotism The story of eight millions
struggling for what they considered their
liberty and rights, possesses points of dra-
matte interest. The greatest objection to
the book is that it can never command the
moral sympathy of mankind. On the SUBJ
ject of Slavery it is wholly out of tune, or
will be to future generations, whose moral
susceptihiities will not have been turned
aside by personal interest and vicious school
of politics. This, we conceive, is the greatest
fault Of the book. The history must be very
acceptable to those who are of the same
mind with the author, bat the time is not
far distant when views and feeling will
change on this point when that time
comes, Mr.. Pollard's history will be con-
demned to the dusty shelf of unused and
forgotten books or will rank among the
curiosities Of Literature. Aside from this,
the book has merits; its style is character
lied by clearness, energy and elegance.
Mr. P. claims to be an impartial historian
but we think that he is scarcely successful
rivers show the color of the soil through
which they flow. The history of the Rebel.
lion is yet to be written, and the historian
who shall write the important history of
these days, viii do so when the incandescent
mind, north and south, shall have cooled,
and the prejudices begotteh of the struggle
have disappeared For such history the
present work will furnish valuable material
We think Mr.. Davis is Justly held up TO
the sorn and Indignation of mankind. He
who undertakes to make hero of him has
the poorest and meanest of clay to handle.
lie and his fellow conspirators precipitated
the people of the Southern Stat es into rebel
lion with perjury on their souls, and their
actions are justly judged separately from
those of the people who fought for what
they believed to be o meritorious cause.
But it is evident that Mr. Pollard lets his
prejudices run away with him. and any man
who in any way opposed the confederacy
comes in for rough handling. He leaves
US without q hero unless we except A
johnson the tailor salesman of Tennessee, in
whom he discovers jewel of the first water
Mr.. Lincoln finds no favor at Pollard s hands
and he quilts Davis to the wall for failing
to exercise retaliatory measur against the
Emancipation Proclamation, Which he r.
CARDS as the greatest outrage of the 10Th
century. The book is original and positive,
and many of its thoughts new and worthy
Of consideration. One of Mr.. P's failures is
evidently not modesty. He never loses
sight of his personality. he firmly believes
that this is his greatest work, and contains
such "culiou8 and extraordinary informa-
ton" as will lift his sublime head to the stars.

PRESIDENT OF THE C.&N n. w. R'Y
At an election held by the Directors
OF the Chicago and NorthW estern Rail
way Company in New York last week,
Alexander. Nit chell of Milwaukee was
chosen President of the company in
place of Hon. Henry Keep, deceased.
The bestowal of this high honor upon
a citizen OF our State cannot fail to be a
source of pride and qualification to the
people of Wisconsin, and we may also
safely anticipate that the change of pol
icy in the management of this great
corporation which, if we mistake not,
is indicated by this election will prove
to be substantial benefit to the ma
terial interests of our State, and tho
whole Northwest.

Down through the shady air,
To smile ut lovely pieture,
Which Nature has painted there.

Screens from the curious street,
Bowers Of Jcs5amine and Ivy,

Tall Pines stand in grim displeasure,
The Spruce sits il silence by,
The Naples shake with laughter,
And the Aspens, trembling, sigh.
The Rowan tree bushes crimson,
The Chestnut is frowning black,
The Locusts lean over to gigglc,
And the Lila; turns its back.

Excepting COOP with hearty will,

A mental, 'who can it be ?"
And telegram flies from my window,
Down to the Graces three.

A dash through the sweet-briar boughs,
A tumble thro' library windows,
A rush thro' the rear of the house.

A patter up the back stairs;
A bound thro' the halls-and the Graces
Sink down on the nearest chairs.

Z FALSE PROPHET.

The Jefferson Banner hoDored US
with an extended notice last week
commenting our structures upon the
Madison Regency but claiming that
we should after all be obliged to sup
port r egepcy ticket on the ground
that the pins had been SO set up tina
the defeat of that ingtitution's pro-
gramme was impossible We think
the Banner has seen by this time tina.
it was altogether on the wrong track :;
that notorious piece of furniture known
as the Regency's slate is no more :;
that slate, which was the joy of the
elect and the terror of all candidates
whose names were not written upon
1T, was smashed to pieces, ground to
powder and blown away in the conven-
ton. The invincible Regency has
been met and conquered; it's pres
tige IL lost-its glory departed You
made tremendous blunder, Tousley,
in your estimate Of the Convention 8
makeup, and in prophesying its re-
suits.
It is the theory of the Banner,
We belieVe,stha the Rep ublican party
must have Regency, and doubtless,
under the circumstances, its editor
will soon be expecting to see in our
State journals some such announce
ment as this:
"WANTED-A Regency to take
charge of the Republican party of
Wisconsin in the place of the one late
ly removed on account Of its indiffcr
ence, neglect OF duty and general in
competency, whereby it failed to pro
vide State ticket for the ratification
Of the late Republican Convention, and
thereby left the discharge of that ar
duous duty to the delegates selected
by the people"
How does that reflect your senti-
ments, Tousley
There is one statement in the Ban
ner's article which we wish to correct,
as it does US injustice We have
never said or written a word to our
knowledge intimating that the nomi-
nees Of the State Convention would
not receive our cordial support no
matter who they might be
Such is our estimate of the value of
Republican principles and the vital
necessity Of their success that we can
not imagine a ticket which our con-
vention would have put in nomination
that would not be far preferable, in our
opinion, to ticket composed Of the
best and ablest men OF the Democratic
party endorsing the principles of that
party. But fortunately the dilemma
which the Bonner marked out for us
does not exist, and We can cordially
endorse the nominees Of our conven-
ton and accord to them our unquali-
fed and enthusiastic support, not onl y
for the standard they bear but also for
their own intrinsic merits and good
qualities
