LEGItt TENDER.—The qqestiop of'" What is a legal tender ?" is so often a.ked, that we have prepared an abstract showing what is legartender: - In the absonce•of any special, agreement, the only payment or legal tender known - to the law is by cash. The tender should-prop erly be - in-cash' and must be so if that is re quited. A' tender of a k ' larger sum than is due, with a requirement of change rm of the balance, is not good. A lawful tender, and payment of the money into Court, is a good defence to an action fq - r debt. But the cred itor may break down this defence by proving that he . denianded the money of the debtor, and the debtor refused to give it subsequently to the tender. Legal 'tender of mciney varies in different . countries.. Thus, in.Enfland, Bank of Eng land notes ..(exeept by the Bank itself) and gold are legal tender fur any amount: Silver to the amount of forty shillings only.. In the United States the gold . and silver . coins of the United States were made 'legal tender_ by the act of January 18,1857, viz: That dollars, half dollars, quartet dollars, (Nines and half dimes shall :be a legal tender, acceading to their nominal value, for any sumewhatever the gold efigleat ten dollars, and the quarter eagle for two and a half dol lars: By the - act of 1849., the coinage of the .donble eagle, vale twenty 'dollars, and of the gold 'dollar was authorized, both of which are legal tender for any amount-- Owing - to the reduced weight of the new . sil; ver coins authorized by Congtess,:34 March, 1851; andAl;tlFebruary, 1853,-they are no 10 - nger leg:4l;ten er except in small suns, viz : Three vent pit;Cei, (Ad Mar., 'b.!, and '53,) $0,30 Half diatom, - 192 grk. each, Feb.2lo, .• Quarter donurs/j6 . u es • - 316.40 • Half dirties, 19.20 " 64 By _the - Act of Febitiary, 1857," all former Act:i autlOrizina the currency of foreign gold ;and silverl..coinA, and declaring the same •a legal tender in in•rnent of debts, are hereby repealed." . • A PiRILOLIS POSITION" ".TO A MAN'TT A '4EF.7—The .

When individuals in the Democratic ranks become dissatisfied with. the ,party, and at tempt to set up for themselves an arrogant right_ to dictate-to- the majority what course should be Pursued, we often find well-meanin'g Democrats who are willing to yield, in a measure, to :the imperious deniands of such would-be dictators, from a desire of concifia: Lion, and when warned against it, will state that they do rilat really approve the course proposed to be yursued by the person in question, but fear if he is: not ennoiliated he will dp,art I. ,h....Jur ..r.e party an injury; while by compromising somewhat, the threatened danger will' be avoided, and the resAilt be productive_of harmony in future. - This policy is an xceetlingly dangerous -one,- and any party that permits its acts to be thus controled- will !find, sooner or liter that it has dug its own grave. Go one step with a false friend, and he obtains control over you Sufficient to take you another, and ere you are awate of it,.he has delivered you into the, power of the enemy. When a Judas or an Arnold appears, let there be no yielding to their demands. If Democrats show a re trsctory spirit, and manifest a desire to " rule or ruin," use - ever means' to gently curb them, taking care in the'm s ean-tirne to intrust them with nothing that can: be construed into a "consideration" to prevent them trom bolt ing, for the moment this is done they begin to feel their power and ! will but continue to make still more exorbitant demattla , upon your fears, and finally, without perhaps really intending it, will be found warring .bittedy with the party, and yet bolding a .portion of it in vassalage. If a Democrat cannot agree with the patty on all the - issues of the day, let him enjoy his own. opinion as an individual-, :and so long as he does'so, approach him in no way except to convince him of his error; if he is not content to differ with others, but 'attemptsto effect a division, then it is time ' to meet hini v and it should be doge promptly; if he,yields the point, it is well, but. if Le throws himself into the arms of the opposition, and wages a war upon /is old friends, then should the most pointed weapons be-brought to bear against him its ,an unscrupulous • enemy. We need not cite instances to prore that there should be no parley with disorganizerF; all who have noted the doings of the politi cal world for even a' short time, hareseen the folly of such a course. . A free interchange of opinions among the members of a party is sot, of course, to be ,It E.hadld 'be encouraged - on all occasions, for it is the life-blood of Democra cy. By this means the organization known as the Democratic Party has always been ena -1;led to dist - over what , measures of public policy would , best Subserve the wants of the maws, and promote the welfare of the trey eminent and the interests of mankind. Our opponents - have failed-to do this; lief only study the.promotion of selfish men, the ad. vantages of causal against labor, the oppres ,6on of the mart', for the benefit of the few ; theref?re it is they_ -- (lomat study the public mind, or propose to place power in the hands of the people.

We notice that our friend Osborne, editor of the Poughkeepsie Telegraph,—one of the best papers on i our exchange list—has just got. through with an interesting libel suit, brought againsti Lim for publishing a -Cr!ti cism of a Fouii i th of July abolition imposi. tion. The resuq is a just vindication .of the rights of the priess. It may be prioper to state that the jury Nthich gave the final verdict was politically composed of six Black Republicans, tour In • dependents, and lonly . .twe Democrats. The following cloth the Y. Y. Post, ex plains the whole affair: - TUE LA NV OF LIBEL A ertn.e of eon i siderable importance on the law of libel "hal been tried at the Dutchess Circuit at Poughkeepsie this week. The Plaintiff is Mitaell Santwd; a lawyer, now orate' of Hud;On— the defendant is E. B. Osborne, the editor of the Poughkeepsie Tel graph. In 1850, the plaintlff was invited by the citizens of 11.1 Hook, in Dutchess conn 't v. to deliver an that at the Fourth of July celebration in dint plate. Mr. Sanford ac cepted, and on tat occasion, after the usual topics - had been iscussed, delivered, as the editor claimed a d stated, "a mean and con m! teptible aboliti ui harangue." The editor, in addition to' hlis comments on the oration, said some thing. . not very flattering to the orator. Mr. Sa ford brought an action for libel. Subjoined is the article complained of: "The orator it the day was again and again requested r t o make slight, if any, allit. ' sions to the pohtieal parties ,nowexisting ‘ among tor; but that a proper reference to the difficulties now agitating the minds of the people, and the recommendation of calmness, I deliberation and! prudence, would be very , i proper. But no! he had only ascended the pulpit about five minutes when he clam mowed a mean,l virulent and contetnptible . abolition harangue, with the affiliated here sies, and treated I is audience to Sharp's Rifle shooting, bloodshed, murder, Am. "Now, Mr. Edi or, has he or any other titan alright, on such day, and under such cir cumstances, to g into the pulpit and deliver inch an oration; ead the storm of fanaticism, which aims to d stroy whatever is venerable and good in the nstitutions of our country, mutilate the Constitution, and destoy the last vestige of liberty, human rights and self government! Had he a right in a pulpit to endeavor to deeiveabyt the grossest tnisrep re,-entations, and agitate a spirit of rebellion 1 against the laws of the land; to discounten ance every idea f compromise, thereby to dismember .the union? Had' he a right to outrage every Cbristisn feeling and sentiment of the heart, and 'nstead of telling them,in a kind spirit, to e deavor to harmonize their views and feelins , to hate, shoot and destroy each other like ba bariansf"' The writer of t e article continued :- 1 `lle °War d+crated the-sacred desk by such an appeal, aid became so odious to the whole audience- to be compelled to - walk from The church f. - . the hotel alone., and there dared not sit at a public dinner provided for the muesli's." . - , The defendan. publication and - apsivered, admitting the tting up as a defence • that y a fairscriticism Upon the of the plaintiff. The canto the article - was on, publio pettornan was tried once, and the judge excluded all evidence in justificatim or mitigation, and the jury gave .a verdict of $450 for the plaintiff. This was reversed by the General Term; on argument, and a new trial granted. The case came on for a new trial before fudge Brown, of the Supreme. Coutt,. on Monday, and was finished on Wednesday.' The whole 1 evidence showing what was.said by the,plain tiff in his oration, according to the memory of the audience, was admitted. The plaintiff himself was , a witness and tried his own cause. Mr. Dean defended • the publiCation as a right of the press to criticise a public speaker, who, heinsisted, occupied the same position as an author, and the publication was privileged. Judge Brown, in a very able and elaborate charge, instructed the jury that the right of 'editors of public journals to criticise either printed publications or extemporaneous speeches was clear, and must' be sustained by the courts; that it was 'necessary, in order to correct public sentiment; that in doing. this, an editor had no right to attack the personal or private diameter of the author or speaker, and that so far as the article in question was an attack upon the plaintiff personally, and not, a criticism upon'his speech, it was libel lons. The judge at the same time told the jury that they were the exclusive judges of whether or no the artiele, taken as a whole, was a libel, end if so, what damages the plaintiff sustained by its publication. The cause excited great interest in the lo cality where the trial was held, and the jury, after a Idal of three days and an absence of about three hours, found a verdict for the plaintiff fur three cents. The Contemplated Coalition, Since the announcement of the programme of the mongrels for a State Convention upon a new basis, various opinions pro, and con. have been drawn out from the opposition pa pers.

For one we enter our protest in advance againltit any affiliation, coalition, union or fusion with such political rhnegatles and trai-i tors as Swoope and Flannigan.

The- Republicans con set it down as an established, fact that the Sanderson Flannigan Swoope faction will nev er keep faith in any political arrangement.-- They are partisan gatrrilas, unfit for associa tion with men who 'are governed by honest motives in political action. They have ebeat ed ns in three canittigni., and it retnnihe'to be seen whether Republicans will allow them selves again to be gulled by such tricksters.

They will find thousands of staunch and true freemen in the North and West who will repudiate any evasive, unmeaning plat form, no matter who the candidates are. We warn the Republicans to beware of the scheme." The examination of Lane 'for the murder of Jenkins has developed these facts Ist. That Jenkins went into Line's enclosure unarmed. 2d. That lie went, not towards the house, but in another direction towards the well. 31. That Jenkins bud been accustomed prev- - iousfy to use the well, though for a few days he had been getting water at a spring near by. The water in the spring having become foul, he re turned to the.well, and had usod it for a day or two before the fatal occurrence. 4th. That the gate 'which Lane had nailed up to prevent Jen kins access to the well, was put in by Jenkins for the purpose of reaching the well. sth. That no weapons were displayed by the Jenkins party uniii•after Lane hadfired and killed his tictim. The- ki;ling is admitted; but it is claimed that Lsne acted-in self-defence. Eminent coun sel is employed on both sides. Gov. Stanton is one of Lane's counsel. This is evidence of a premeditated Murder in cold blood. For the Montrose Democrat Letter froze Caaiada, NIAGARA FALLS, June 8, 1858 Mn. EDITOII :—Dear Sir :--I promised my voting-friends, while iu Canada visiting the Norrnal,Model, Grammar,and Central Schools, occasionally to write them a .few -lines re garding what I might see and hear. After a few - hours ride, this morning, we arrived at the " Suspension Bridge," .which spans the Aver about iwo miles below the Falls. "A brief description of this bridge may not prove uninteresting to many. It was built by John A. Robeling, of Trenton, N. J., in 1852 and % - 3, and is a noble and stupendous structure, forming a communica tion between Canada and the%-linited States, over which steam engines, cars, and wagons of every description, pairs without causing the slightest vibration. 'The road for car. riages is suspended 28 feet below the railway, line.— The Bridge, the length of which is 800 feet, and width 24 feet, is suspended by four enormous wire cables, passing over four towers, each cable being 10 inches in diam= etre, and containing 1000 miles of wire. The height of each, of thelwo towers on the American side, is 88 feet,and the two on the Canada side 713 feet each. The entire strength of these four cables is 12.400 . .t0n5, and the weight of the entire bridge is 1000 tons. Hence, the bridge is, capableof sustaining 11,400 togs, and combines, in an eminent degree, strength, durability, and elegance of structure. It is suspended about 250 feet above the surface of the river, and cost $500,000. - 'Owing our stay here, as 'the day was beautiful, we visited • ..Niagara I the wonder of the world, T A very ocean to destruction hurled ;" but I shall net attempt,to convey to your mind an idea of its ."ceaseless thunder and eternal foam," or of the bold and magnificent scenery hereabouts. No One will • ever otp- , taro ' au idea of thW grandeur almost omnipotent that is: here presented,, until they stain:low " Tablizellock,ft and " Terrapien Tower," and look down- upon the mighty cataract as the -waters -are - lashed- into Any and, withmaddened impetuositywre hurrying to tinSbrinft, and utter their deep roar cloud less melody as they plunge mystically into that cureiling ,sea of molten 'silver fringed with the golden tints of the raiuboW, from which' the white cloud of mist And the deaf ening.:thuuder continually rise above their bead. The waters of Lake Erie, I believe,are'S34 fe..et-leigher than them:, of Like Opted°, sod the channel or river leading 'from the former to thelat ter is 36 miles in length. The Falls are 22 miles front. Lake Erie, and are divided into two by "leis" or "Goat Island.," The American Falls are 900 feet wide, and 163 feet high. The; Horse Shoe or Canadian Fall is 2000 feet wide, and 154 feet high. The first white man that saw these falls was a French Jesuit missionary, by the name of Hennepin. It was in 1678, 180 years ago. The placeS of greatest interest in this victn• icy, excepting the Falls and the 'Eluspension Bridge,are the battleground of Lundy's Lane, the Whirlpool below the 13ridge, the Devil's Hole,and the Bloody Bun, (below the Whirl pool) II a Qieenston s n'Heights and General Ihuek's Monunent. LlAsituox, C. W.,.June 10, 1858 On our passage from Niagara to this place we crossed "Welland Canal," which is sufn ciently wide to allow three-mast Brigs of large size to pass from one lake to the other. This is truly a beautiful farming country and is rich with beautiful scenery. The laud to all appearance is in no wise inferior to tie best land in New York and Penna. We hat's, plenty of vegetables, such as lettuce,raditihes, cucumbers, &Q., that have been grown hero. Hatnilton is located :it the western point of Lake Ontario and contains about 20,000 inhabitants. Some of the stores here are magnificent structures; such as would cost in New York from 100 to 150 thousand dol. lam The "Anglo American Hotel" is in keeping with the best buildings of the city. About one mile west of the business part of the city, a range of mountains, called Bur lington Heights,are to be seen running North and South. These Heights form a beautiful back ground to the city, and upon their geed sloping sides are' many splendid mansions. The Central School building, (we would call it a Graded School,) is situated on a gen tle eminence in the northern part date is built of stone, and cost, I judge, from fifty to eighty thousand dollars. The - yard is large and tastefully laid out, into walks, and orna mented with trees. :The play-grounds fel the boys and girls are separate anu contain appa ratus of carious kinds to induce the pupils to engage in healthful exercise. '-Each play ground has a building about 2po feet long thatOs finely constructed, in which the pupils can exercise duting stormy and, unpleasant weather. Liwnds, June 13th, 1858 London is about 70 miles west of Ilamil‘ ton, and contains 10,000 inhabitants. I scarce ly tealized that I was_out of the United States until yesterday, when a bather charged six pence for ehaving me and in making change kept fen cents.- Said I, you have made a mis take,—you have taken ten cents; but you want only six pence, (6 cents.) Ile seemed much Astonished, and with apparent honesty said, "Yes, cualy six pence,—ten cents." It.. stantly the thought occurred to me that.l was in' Canada; and by the aid of the Rule of "Reduction of Currencies," I at a glance dis covered he was right. Soon after my com panion was seemingly troubled to, know why, when, a boy charged him twelve pence for .an article, be insisted upon receiving twenty cents.

I have heard no more difficulties arising from making change. To day, after visiting the .Central school, in which we found upwards of 1200 pupils, my companion seemed very much depressed in spirits, and proceeded directly to a shoe maker's shop and ordered the heel. of his boots to be "let down a peg or two," (his were "nigh-heeled boots.") The job being done, lie gravely inquired the amount of his in debtedn'ess, and received the prompt reply "a, Yorker," (121 cents.) I`e• again entereci_ the street, and as we scores of ladies; he became still more taciturn and gloomy. After remaining in our room in silence for a time, with much apparenlseriousnesa, he gave expression to his troubled thoughts as follows: " Did you ever see such looking ladies? Fig ures devoid of symmetry and beauty, voices hash and munti:ical„ . " features angular and rag!), and complexions spotted and speckled like Jacobs cattle," d:c. I •do not wonder that my friend is forcibly impressed, and, per haps somewhat• annoyed with the Contrast between the appearance of the ladies we have met with during the past few days and his own BEACTIFIA WIFE, at Lorne. Still I am not. able to sympathize with him very deeply, as fain hot, in the least troubled in that way myself; and besides, he, was not obliged to have such a pretty wife.

BEING - GENERALLY USEFUL-A letter from a traveler who is on the road to Utah. narrates the following : "If such readers of history as delight to imagine Louis XVI clad in the leather apron of a locklsmith, or Charles V. puzzling his brains over the machinery of a watch, could only catch some glimpses of the Utah expedition, I atin unable, to say how great would be their pleasure. I have seen the Governor of the Territory walking gravely up the road toward bis•tent, carrying a piece of stove funnel under each arm; I hah seen the Chief Justice cutting the turf for a chin• ney, and the Secretary of State splitting wood, and the United States Attorney and Marshal plastering the walls of their hut with mud. Yesterday I saw one United States Commissioner, stripped to the buff and riding on horseback piloting a wagon through a•ford across the South Platte, which - he had discovered by wading; while the other Com missioner, having accomplished the passage, sat upon a corn sack on the opposite bank. These pictures may convince yon that the civil offices, at least, in connection with• the Utah expedition, are not sinecures." _ --0111.-4111111.

Tlie -"great ones" of the earth have been justly destgtiated as such for having achieved ends and objects unattained by their fellow men. if we trace the rise' and progress of them, we shall see, that not only has their success been owing to a new idea or original suggestion, but-in a far Treater measure to the systematic mode of carrying the projects, and bringing them to a successful issue. In *no instance has this fact been more truly 'exemplified than in the career And ligh ening speed progress to of Thomas Holloway, and the proportional universal dissemina tion of his "Pills and "Ointment" as a specifics for nearly every disease of the human frame. 1 We have been fortunate enough to learn from his own lips the thodua operandi of this Wonder-working system, which evinces its superiority not only -in having reached•ilie acme of perfection, but in keeping afloat this mighty organization, a 'harp of a thousand strings' to keep-in tune !
