fortunate as to have his favor.


His language and acts show not a WISE
temperate and conciliatory spirit, not de-
sire to produce harmony, and TO effect his
ends with the general concurrence of the
nation they show a petulant spirit, harsh
temper, whose inevitable effect, when used
towards an intelligent people, jealous of die

arouse n passionate feeling of hostility and
opposition.


Not only does the President thus give
strength to those who oppose the admission

advantage of his mistakes and ill-temper, to
excite still more opposition against the

notice, Republican journals which formerly
supported the admission of the states, have
fallen off, under the pressure of the general
Indignation and passion. The Evening
Post is not accustomed to make such con-
cessions to unreasoning prejudice, and it
will continue now to urge what seems to it
the only sound and safe policy, just as it
did when it was denounced for opposing the

that measure hateful to the people when

In business point of view, as an eff
cient conservator of the interests of the
people of this district, Col. Cobb is un-
doubtedly the best representative this dis
trict ever had Possessing remarkable
cool head, clear judgement, untir;ng per-
severance, a singular aptitude for public
business, and great tact in presenting and
urging his points, we do not think he has
a superior on the floor, as an executive
member, or in actual influence.


In his political predictions, Col. Cobb
has ever Stood in the front rank of the
party of humanity and liberty. He has
always been regarded as eminently sound,
outspoken and consistent. He is now,
perhaps, one Of the most radical republicans
in the State; but his radicalism is tenn
pered with d sound sense that restrains it
from the vagaries of the Greeley stripe of
politicians. In the struggle Of Congress
to resist the encroachment and reasonable
tendencies of an apostate administration,
no man has resisted more firmly, or striven
more faithfully for even handed justice
than the representative from our district.
But it is unnecessary to enlarge upon his
political course, as it is universally known,
and unexceptionably approved by his
party.

present position for at least another term.

The entertaining episode in the Tennessee
Legislature, in which the Speaker threw his
mallet at one of the members, and the mem
ber fired pistol at the Speaker, is new
mode of settling parliamentary questions. 1t
is not laid down in any of the books. The
point at issue was the power Of the Speaker to
compel members to vote, but as the Speaker
did not hit the member with his mallet, nor
the member hit the Speaker with his pistol,
the question remains undecided. If this mode
of decision is to be established in legislative
bodies the members ought to be chosen with
reference to their accuracy in pistol-firing aud
the Speaker for his adroitness in throwing the
mallet We should like to witness trial of
skill of that kind. One of the thickest-headed
delegates might be employed as target, and
the various aspirants try their hands upon
him. The malletng would draw a greater
crowd than the balloting. Some time ago the
London Punch had fancy sketch of q debate
in an American Legislature, during the course
of which one of the members fired four shots
at the individual who had the floor, without
any other casualty, however, than killing
another member, who being asleep, was una
ware of the circumstance. The person shot at
loudly protested against his opponents shoot

the case. II would appear that this is not as

AFFAIRS IN MAScHEsrER.-The question that

In view of the variety of conflicting opinions,
we suggest the propriety Ct calling meeting

public good.

good people.


The Manchester Glee Club complain that
they are not allowed to serenade any Of their

Bacchanalians after bedtime is to be strongly
deprecated, but we see no great harm that can
result from good singing by an orderly and

pleasing to the ladies and we trust that the
police, even if they are old and ugly, will have
too much respect for the female sex to object

The New York Nation says that in Italy,
where the Government exercises a certain con-
troll over the press it is the custom for each
journal to maintain stout laboring man, who,
for a stipulated salary. consents to be cast into
prison in atonement for such offences as the
journal may commit. Consequently this
honest fellow spends half his days in arrest /;
the journalists pay the fines and write what
they please. The Nation thinks that this

the journalists personally responsible in this

THE TWENTY SECOND AMONG THE NEGROES
The Square presented yesterday scene such
as we never before witnessed, and such as we
never could have realized. From midday,
crowds of negroes, of all ages, Sizes and sexes,
commenced to assemble there, and by o'clock
the upper part of the Square was literally
crowded with them. We went in to find out
if there was any object for the assemblage,
and with this view we interrogated an old
contraband as to the cause of the gathering
We could get nothing out of him but that it
was " celebrashun day ; but for what, neither
he nor ourselves could exactly understand.
During the day several fights occurred between
the little whites and blacks, which resulted
in the arrest of several of the former. The
noise kept up by these scamps was hideous,
and rs the captives were marched to the sta
tion-house they were followed by brigade
of urchins of all colors, who kept up 4 hur-
rahing that was deafening.

wholesome words upon this mighty theme.
We cordially commend this movement to our
