The Easy Art or Misrepresentation
There IL nothing which gives us more real
distress IN life, and becausefwe find itateyery
turn, than the easy tFst ,aisre1f escrtntion.
Every political controversy bristles with this
annoyance; and reading, which might other
wise be an instructive employment or amin
teresting pastime, becomes an insnGerable ex-
ASPIRATION throtgh what we see In it 80 con.
stantiy Of this crime Of towards in the. mo-
blest arenas Of argument. And then this ART
OF Misrepresentation is go easy; its facility
offers such temptations to those who are In
dolent in their modes Of thought, or cow
ardly In those OF attack. The most indiffer-
ent intellect may do its work. II is only ne
cessary to omit some element in a given case.
to conceal some qualifying circumstance, and
presto, the work is done with due plausibtltt
and effect. -.1 y
Thus, we notice that Mr.. Voorhees, in a
recent speech to his Indiana constituency, by
which he has chosen to supplement his Con-
sresslonal TRADE against Mr.. Greeley, mis-
represents him as the advocate Of the cx.
ttmest abominatien of negro equality; and
does it just by clouding one little but all-im-
poTtant distinction. Tt Is the distinction be-
tween equality and equiuaiency. Now, what
Mr. Greeley did say in his Poughkeepsie
speech, which has been challenged, was that
though he hoped for The time when our
schools, etc., might be opened with perfect
freedom and hospitality to all, vet
ne was persuaded, and he thought It
~" wise " that the negroes; from their num-
hers in the South, and their DISPOSE
non i'll consequence of these very mum.
bels to "prcicr their own, society,"" should
take their equality in the shape of equtra-
tency !. e.,; in having " as good and s,i
hclent schools as the whites; while in the
North, from their paucity Of numbers rem
dering it implacticable to obtain separate ac-
commodation, the negroes there might have
to take their cqualityas literal equaiity. in,
YOlying the absolute contact and association
of whites and blacks! s.-t -
And to this the South responds "Amen,''
Amen" with the fcryor of Il camp-mectinp.

RAILROAD TENS,

The Saline comfy Register OF the
date of January Slst, says Messrs.
Raum & Mitchell have taken the contract
to clear, grade and tie nineteen miles OF
the Cairo & Vincennes railroad, south
from Harrisburg
Work on the Cairo and Vincennes
railroad is to be commenced at once, and
the entire line to be ready for the cars in
one year. The entire road, excepting
about six miles, is under contract. The
lookout for Cairo is brighter now than it
has been at any time since tho close of the
war. May it never grow less.
Work on the Cairo and ST. Louis
railroad drags its slow length along as
fast as the inclcmency of the weather will
permit. When there is change for the
better in the weather, we may expect to
see the road pushed to completion, without
any delay. 1t is almost impossible to do
anything in the low lands of this county
at this time.

court, commenced to-day" says the Sa-
line .county Register of January 81,
