AX HOME AND ABROAD.
The horrible in newspapers. —W v art* often
asked why we do not publish detailed accounts
of murders, robberies and other horrid crimes )
the history of which toooften disgraces the col
umns of many of our cotemporaries. \Y e now
propose to give an answer to the inquiries made
in reference to this subject, which we hope will
forever exonerate us from the unpleasant task ot >
writing on a theme which so vividly brings up
to our consciousness the weakness and depravi
ty of human nature. We decline burdening
our columns with this kind of matter lor several
ve ry good and sufficient reasons. We believe
that if vice be continually'held up to the gaze
olthe people.it will become so familiar to
their eyes that its hideonsness will no longer
repel them from its embrace. We believe in
the doctrine of that poet who tells us :
•>Vice is a monster of such frightiiil mien
As to be hated needs but to lie seen,
Hut teen ton oft, familiar with its fare,
It's first i admit, then pity, thai em!,race
We believe, further, that it is the duty ot the
nevvspap.-r pi ess, to endeavor toro/sethe stand
ard of m-.u als, inst-ad of making it an object to
d-press it, or of conniving at the depraved
taste of those wh > have unwittingly imbibed the
poison they ask to have administered to the
public indiscriminately. Therefore, we can
not find, il Ul our heart, to give place in our
paper to the thousand and one shocking and
obscene stories which make up the criminal
romance ol our country. YY e couid not issue
our paper without a blush, were we to do so,
nor could we refrain from thinking, should we
hear of a crime committed in our community,
that, perhaps, the criminal was strengthened in
his evil resolve, by the exciting description of
some deed similar to his.own uoic.. may have
met his eye in our columns. I his. then, is one
reason,and an al:-s ifficie.it one it is; for excluding
from the newspaper toe sort of matter under
consideration. It is a reason which morniitij
assigns and one which will he readily acknowl
edged as perfectly sound and valid by all good
and honest people. Another objection to this
system of retailing accounts of revolting crimes
jn the columns ofa public newspaper, is suggest
ed by the fact that tin-re isalwaws enough use
ful and amusing reading matter to be found by
the editor to fill his sheet, and such, too, as will
possess a deep interest for all well regulated
minds. Hence, if even the criminal literature
(if we may be allowed the expression) were not
noxious in its influence, the editor would still
be in duty bound to exclude it, in order to make
room fir that which demands a place in his
journal, bv virtue ot its ministration to the hap
piness of the people.
Let none, therefore, expect us to tatni.-ii our
pages with a weekly recud of all the horrible
crimes that hang a cloud ol blackness between
heaven and earth. Rather than thus violate
our sense of propriety, we would sell our type
to a broken ironmaster and sink our press under
the waters of the Juniata.
_Vetc Democratic /inju r in Mer'pr. —We have

Novel Intuan Ceremonies at the fxni*\ i
B' reae. — On Wednesday afternoon the Pawnee
delegation (whose arrival we noticed,) accompa
ni-d bv Major Demson, their agent, and his
daughter, who lias been adopted bv the tribe,
and Samuel All i<, their interpreter, ha I an in
terview with Acting Commissioner Mix. Thi
delegation represents four bands ot Indian*,
numbering three or four thousand souls, located
some forty or sixty miles west of Omaha oitv.—
The occasion .of their visit is a promise made bv
Gen. Denver, last September, on the occasion < f
making the recent treaty, that a portion of their
leading men should have an opportunity shortly
to visit their Great Father, the President, ami
also to see the settlements oflheir white breth
ren. in order that they might note the be: efiiert
etf'erts of civilization.
The interview was a singular affair, and fu
the three hours that it continued, resembled ra
ther a Quaker meeting, than the visit of an ordi
nary Indian delegation. Instead of the usual
warlike approach and declamatory harangues the
Pawneesapproached the Commissioner rever
ently, bestowing on him hoggings, kissing*, an!
endearing looks. It appears to have been a re
ligious ceremonial on their pait. The pawm- *
have great reverence for theSnpreme P.. ing, arid
for the officers of Government, whom th\ i >ok
upon as the medium ofthat Being. Fourteen or
fifteen minutes at a time tliev gazed fixedly up. n
the* face of the Commissioner, accompanying; j
their gaze with gestures resembling mesmeric
passes, but which however tailed to mesmer
ize the wary Commissioner, and at the end of
the interview, he had sustained no other harm
tfian some discoloration of his face an ! shirt
collar, through their contact with the paint- .
faces of the braves in the course of the i -p. ated
huggirigs they bestowed upon him.—

Ttie Corn Rottino at tub Wot. —The Mis
sonri Democrat has news from Ohio Indiana
and Kentucky, that the corn is rotting to .1 ,!i
-a*trous extent, both that which i* 011 lb- stalk
and in cribs. The Kvansviile / Indiana) J< urnal
savs that the injury to the corn hv the early
frosts of November, and the subsequent rains,
has been very serious throughout all the mid
land and northern counties of the State. On
the upp-r Wabash, the damage extend® to a large
part of the crop. The injured crop serves t 1 feed
stock, and to increas" the quantity of heel and
pork that will be thrown upon the market. The
price of corn will he affected by the disaster,
and the value of wheat and flour will be raised
in the regions where the corn has been rendered
unfit for food.
THE NEW YoriK" Tribune, on to • mrrni'l: of
the Presidenti-iI election, declare*) that "n.v sure
as there in a (iotj in 11< riven , il" James Buchanan
is elected President,'* Oregon will lie made a
1 slave State. James Buchanan v:os ejected, and
j Oregon has been n:ac!e a free State ; the infidels
I of the Tribune will probably be confirmed in
: their infidelity hy (his fact, and will regard it
: as conclusive proof that "there is no God in
; Heaven."
' But it is interesting to .see, in the ca*e of ()r-
I egnn, how beautifully the doctrine of popular
! sovereignty operates among honest, s i silde
' and patriotic people, and how completely the
| result has falsified ail the predictions ami as-
I serf ions of the black republican agitators.—
j Smarting out on the willfully false theory that the
| Nebraska act was designed to force slavery upon
j all Jhe territories, they liaw never halted in
. their persistent assertions tfiat micli was sure
to be jhe fruit of the great and glorious princi
-1 p|e which that act was designed to carrv into
effect. And determined that their false theory
, should prove true, they have floored constantly
ito make it sl in the caseol Kansas. If the peo
ple of that IV rritorv had acted is sensib'y and
) as honest ly as 'he people of Oregon have—if
j they had gone to the polls ami voted, the resn't
; there would have been tfie same a- m Oregon.
' But no one can doubt that if these "Mack
rascals" could hart* influenced the pcple of
| Oregon a.s they have those of Kansas, Oregon
i would fiave been mar.'e a slave Stale. Ji those
hi favor of making Oregon a free State hadst.iv
[ .-r? awav from the polls, of c >tu\-.e the f. w pn>-
i slavery men tji-re iconic' have carri-M the elec
tion, and Oregon would fi or l e> n a slave State.

AN END TO KIJSING.
A sliurt time since the atf*c Donate public was
astonished hv the story of a vo'ing lady whose
neck was dislocated in cowrjue ice ol the ill
aflvised resistance which she offered to tfie
amicable salute of an admirer nut - ardent than
discreet. Gnr la*t exchanges Tom Europe now
match this tale wtth another of an jnrjuesf held
at Leeds on the body of a voting man ot xJI, who
fell down stairs and killed himself in th" course
of an attempt to snatch a kiss farm the unwill
ing hps of a girl of fifteen. Some of on . cotem
poraries deduced fiom the first of these occur
rences, the wholesome moral that voting ladies
should never oppose th" advances of their .admi
rers. — In common fairness we are now bound
to infer from the second accident that no man
should ever attempt to take a kiss until! it is
orf'ered to nim. Between the lessons th'-p- t>
reason to fear that an ancient and not altogether
disagreeable custom may .be summarily abolish
