A Bank established by the triumph of

could do no real good, could not main

with disfavor by the vanquished party,
would be so essentially unstable and
precarious that no solid good could be

The following recipe for curing hams
is recommended as the very best in use,
"by one who knows ":
"For 1000 lbs. of pork, take 40 lbs.
of salt, 4 lbs. of tine saltpetre and 4 lbs.
of brown sugar. The hams are to be
first rubbed with the proper proportion
of the saltpetre, then the sugar is to be
rubbed in, and then the salt. Pack
oloecly in a tight vessel, and let them
remain for three weeks, at which time
they will be ready for smoking. The
great, mistake made, in most instances,
in curing hams, is using two with salt,
whereby the Juice of the - spout, is dis
placed."

We know is di , lllicult; whet times
are hard, business dull and financial
affairs diserranged r as they have been,
for persons to pay promptly, small
amounts of indebtedness. We ease
heard a very shrewd, prosperous man
remark, that he never considered mos
ey on hand his owp if be was owing
anything to other people ; and, there
fore, he held Ins surplus in cash merely
in trust until it could be paid over to
those who had been kind enough to
give him credit. The sooner accounts
could be adjusted, the more certain was
he of being relieved from the responsi
bility of keeping safely other people's
property. If robbed of it, banks broke,
or any misfortune intervened, the loss
fell upon himself, and he was obliged
to replace the nmouut with new earn
ings.
To be on the sate side, therefore, in
the light of self-defence, his clerk was
directed to liquidate all bills of a tran
sient character on presentation, pro
vided money enough could be found on
band to do so. This, whilst it served
greatly to accommodate creditors, also
saved both him and them much valua
ble time lost in dunning and being
donned, including other annoyances for
more profitable appropriation. Attend
to business in the hours of business,
when business is trammeled, go about
your bualnees, so that others may at
tend to their business, is a wholesome
maxim, and if the paying of small bills
—or indeed bills of any kind—were
viewed In this light, great advantage
would be experienced all round. As
well might a merchant refine to deliver
on demand a package of goods bought
and paid for, as to withhold the pay
ment of a bill justly ; due, if he had the
means available towards itsadjustment.
We are aware that the monetary djf
ficulties . and business interruptions
which pressed upon all classes of society
during the few past months, have ren
dered it not only inconvenient, but al
mestimpossible for many to settle bills
promptly as they otherwise would have
done. Thus the evil consequences
spread from olio to another, affecting
more or less the entire community.
Mr. B. offers as an excuse, that Mr. C.
did not pay him, and therefbre Mr. D,
goes unpaid ; whilst on the other hand,
if Mr. B. had paid Mr. C. he could have
paid Mr. 4 D., and so ad infinittn. It is
surprising, when we contemplate bow
much indebted nese can be liquidated by
the simple instrumentality of a five dol
lar note. Passing from one to another
it may pay thousands, be the means of
affording partial ease to each individ
ual, and finally perforpi a similar
cir
cuit, doing alike good, coming at last
to the , very same source whence it
started.
As in small matters of indebtedness
so does this same principle apply to
larger ones.—There are some persons
who have a natural aversion to parting
with money. Their very souls are
wrapped up in it, and to pay out a few
dollars is like losing so many drops of
Life-blood. Though they may have an
abundance at command, perfectly able
at all times to meet every financial ob
ligation, yet it is such as these who say
" call again "—and they, indeed, who
are readiest to avail themselves of
"hard times" as an apology for non
paympnt. •
We‘mnicetie it a duty which all good
citizens owe the community, to use all
laudable exertions towards paying their
small bills.—Let the practioe be earnest
ly adapted and ite effectual operation
will tend greatly towards general ease,
coming back at last in salutary evi
dences of good to the class of individ
uals who were its strenuous opponents.
This done and in a very brief period
hence, the lamentations regarding mon
etary oppression would measurably
cease, and " hard times " be no longer
offered as an apology.
One man would not tell the other he
was unable to pay because his neighbor
failed to pay him. On the other hand,
we might boar the welcome salutation:
"I am glad to see you. Mr. so and so
has just sent me some money in adjust
ment of accounts, and I shall be most
happy to liquidate yours." Thus each
would be substantially impressed with
the idea that times were getting better;
and, if all were to do in like manner,
the fact could not fail of being fully re
elized in the complete restoration of
confidence. This is a subject of vital
importance, and if all good citizens will
unite heartily in putting it into practioe,
we will guarantee, not only a re-anima
tion in business generally, but an easi
er, more cheerful, and vastly improved
oondition of things in all departments
of.trule and throughout social society.
We say to all, if you wish to obviate
the fruitful cause of grumbling, and be
instrumental in bringing about a genet
s! relief, nothing better can be done to.

there is just as much money in the hands of the

disposition on the part of some to neglect the
payment of debts.

The undersigned have been appoint
ed to address the Public upon the per
manent establishment in Gettysburg of
a Young Men's Christian Association—
to explain the purposes sought, and the
means proposed therefor—and to re
move nusapprehensionsconeerningboth.
The Association ut not intended to
embrace only the , immature, or snob as
are commonly understood as Young
Men. It is intended for all of active
habits, who unite with the necessary
moral standing the willingness to aid in
promoting the loading purpose. nil
other qualification lbr active or associ
ate membership is required, than good
moral character, interest in the objects,
an election by the Association, and 1%
complitune with unimportant matters
of detail.
The object of the Association, is to
throw guards around, and exert a good
influence Il k in, mainly the Yocso Men
—as those whose° most easily Impressed
and are most in need of protection from
seducing influences. But the care of
the Association is not confined to this
class. It embraces all within the cir
cle of the activity of the members:—
That this work may be the more readi
ly, faithfully and systematically per
formed, an Association-has been formed,
whose members may be constantly
Ittirnulated to duty by the recurrence of
the monthly meetings and those other
efficient agencies winch cannot be exert
ed with much power, except by com
bined action.
The means proposed are chiefly these:
First. The establishment of a Read
ing Room, in a convenient locality, with
a well-assorted Library always accessi
ble, and made so attractive and agreea
ble as to draw the Young from vicious
?laces of resort. "
Second.. A series of Lectures designed
for the instruction and improvement of
the members said the public; and as a
stimulus to the formation of steady and
studious habits.
Third. The formation ofaßible-elms,
under'oompetent instruction, for those
who wish to increase, in this manner,
their knowledge of the Bible and its
precepts.
Fourth. The personal influence of the
members among their follows, to the
end that a higher standard•of morality
may prevail, that vice may diminish,
and that the practice of Religion may
advance with belief of its truths.
Those are the leading mean* used by
similar Associations elsewhere--whieti
have effected great good, and have been
gladly encouraged by ,the intelligent,
the orderly, end the mstuoits, of the
community. There is no reason to
doubt that similar results would flow
here from like fidelity; and we are en
couraged, by the spirit already mani
fested, to predict , that the , movement
will not Sagan the hands ofthe Young
Men of Gettysburg.,
To carry out the first and second of
the series named, funds will be, nocessa
ry--not an extravagant sum, (for the
tdrthe 'Association will be man
aged as economically as possible,} but
such a sum•as will enable the .Associa
tion to supply those periodicals and
books demanded by the various tastes
of those who will resort to the Boom.
A committee has been appointed to call
upon citizens for eontnbutions, that all
debt maybe avoided, and that vigor
and promptness may characterize the
early mtretiments of the , Association.
It has been made our duty to second
the efforts of this committee by a state
ment of these facts, and to appeal to the
liberality of the public for generous as
sistance in the laudable work proposed.
No citizen is without interest in the
subject; for no one is beyond the roach
of consequences which it is the aim of
the Association to avert. And it is con
fidently believed that the public have
but to consider ' to see how largely the
common welfare depends upon the
healthfulness of the influences, which
are daily moulding the character of the
young of the land.

The great qneetion, which hit SEAS
ted the country from centre to circum
ference for the last three years, was
whether slavery should or should not
exist in Kansas, and whether that Tdr
ritory should come into the Union as a
free or slave State. This was the ab
sorbing question, which entered into
and overrode all others, in the last
Presidential election. Growing out of
this question and intimately connected
with it, was the doctrine of popular
sovereignty. The Democratic party
strongly advocated this doctrine, and
the Bepublitans opposed it—the latter
contending for the right of Congrss to
legislate for the people of the Territor
ies. The Democracy were victorious,
and the leading principle embodied in
the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the right of
the people of Kansas to determine thei
question of slavery for themselves,
abundantly sustained.
The Convention of Kansas, the mem
bers of which body were elected under
an act of Congress, met at the time and
place fixed upon, and, after a somewhat
prolonged session, have brought their
labors to a close by presenting to the
people of the Territory a constitution,
republican in form and modeled after
the fashion of many of the old States,
with a clause in the schedule for weer
taining the sense of the people on the
much mooted and troublesome slavery
question. Those who want slavery will
vote for the provision which would
make Kansas a slave State—those who
are opposed to slavery will rote agains t
the provision. It a majority (as we
have every reason to believe will be the
ease) shall vote against the provision,
then it will be stricken out, and Kansas
will come i nto the Union as a free State.
Now wo respectfully ask, what farther
guarantee of the expression of popular
soverignty can be asked than this ac
tion of the Constitutional Convention
- provides for? The question of slavery
is to be fairly submitted to the votes of
the people of Kansas, who hereafter
will hey° the decision of the question
in their owe hands. If it is not decided
in aooordenoo with the wishes of the
majority, the majority alone will be
hold responsible for the result. There
can be no wore boy's play in this mat
ter. The Territory of Kansas' must
soon become one of the sovereign States
of the Union, clothed with all the rights,
immunities and responsibilities of every
other member of the oontederacy. The
Democracy of the country have from
the first opening up of the measure, in
sisted upon the right of the people or
Kansas to make their own institutions
and government, and they will see this
principle carried out at all hazards, re 7
gardleas of sectional elainoror prujudie
ed partizanshir. Lot abolitionists and
fire-eaters rave because a sensible course
prevails, the masses of the people in
every State must acknowledge the fit
miss and patriotism of the stand taken
by air. Buchanan's administration.—
we think will be, as the Demon.
racy have always contended, a free
State, and abolitionism will have to fall
hack upon the Garrison platform or
give up the business of negro agitation.
In a government like ours, the truth
must. ultimately prevail, if the people
possess striation& intelligence to appro..
ciato it. •

The most arrant hypocrite to he
found-is the Black Republican, who
pretends •to bo horrititxl because the
whole of the Kansas Constitution is not
submitted to the people of the Territory
for ratification or rejection. This same
Black Republican was, and is, the ad
vocate of the Topeka Constitution, that
was made by a body of irresponsible
fanatics, litho assembled iu open defi
ance of the laws of the Territory,
usurped the power to sit us a (h►netitu
tionui Convention, made a Constitution
in open hostility to the legal authori
ties of the ,Territory, refused to submit
any portion to the people for ratification or
rejection. but sent it to Congress, and
there insisted that it was the true and
legit innate Consti t don of Kansas. The
hypocrite now pretends to he shocked
that the legally constituted Convention
of Kansas has failed to submit any oth-,
er than the Slavery clause for the judg-•
ment of tho people. Such bruzen-faced
effrontery and shameless hypocrisy de
serve to bo scouted and despised by ail
true national men.— ;Washington Unto'
