IPOomlim-Ago, faking His Tani The Republican presses always have on hand some one of the prominent tnsn of the country, who for the titrio being, monopolizes tho choice epithets in their vocabulary, and serves as the e-pecial object of their abuse and shin ' tier. In the last few years President Pierce, President 13tielanan, Senator Douglas, and other distingc slates ' men, have been thus honored. Latter ly, remarks the Journal of Commerce, "the ino‘t vile and vindictive portion of their slanders have boon aimed at John Calhoun and the leading members of Congress who support tho Lecomplet I measure. We congratulate the writers who on joy, a monopoly of this style of nowspa- ' per literature on their luck in securing a now subject upon whom to turn their shafts. It affords variety, and divests their productions of the monotony , which was beginning to attach to them. ! The Hon. Mr. English, of Indiana,' chairman of the conference committee' on the part of the House of Represen tatives, is now the fortunate man. From a glorious political saint, which be was in the estimation of these self righteous calumniators a few days ago, ho has suddenly become, if we can be-, neve their assertions now, ono of the basest of political sinners—a man void of principle, a spy, a traitor, renegade,l and all the other bad things which be-, long to the Abolition vocabulary. It is no part of our business to praise or denounce, in strong language, pub-I lie men for their public acts. Whether they agree or disagree with our views, we are usually willing to attribute to , them honorable motives, and a desire to serve - the public conscientiously. As we have not denounced the motives of Mr. English, when he was acting with the Republicans, so we' have no occa sion for personal lauth.tion, now that lie has undertaken the very difficult, but patriotic task, of a recowaliat ion of important differences on a question of great public concern. But we may ap propriately congratulate that gentle , man on the good fortune which attends him. To be the recipient o the whole volume of epithets so forcibly ejected from the Republican press is of more value to a public man than all the lau dation which can be bestowed upon him. It is a most excellent certificate of character." 1 Speetablo citizena of every tow nAI p. ----- The People of Kansas Desire Peace. ; is it possible that a just Judge would MEAD: BEAD I ; thus array the bar of his district against 1 I him, as well as a unanimous political The following letter of Gov.

Thp Opposition declaim vehemently agaiust the ENGLISH Substitute for the Kansas bill, asserting, as theydo that it holds out a "bribe" for the adoption of the Locompton Constitntion. But mark this fart The Crittenden amendment, which was accepted by the whole anti- Leeonipton party, contained a provis ion in regard to land grants to Kansas very similar to the bill proposed by Mr. Emousti. By the Crittenden amendment, if the people of Kansas voted for tho Lecompton Constitution, they secured the land. If they 'reject ed that instrument, they forfeited the land, because it was to be theirs only upon their admission as a State. The, land could only be granted to a State; and in thin particular, both the Crittenden and the Enjlish bills contained substan tially the aR me prorisions !

Ball, of Cook county, 0., says an old lady told him when a boy, that woolen raga burned beneath and on the winward side °Utile tree in the spring, say early in ..tpril i would prevent the black knot appearing and insure prodnetivc nos. This he remembered, and has tried re peatedly, and with the lidst sacreos. He be lieves it an infallible preventive.. One of our subscribers writes os thnt he has used a solution of strong hartshurn, (liquor ammonia of the apothecary shop) an otnce to each pint of water, as a steep for corn. He puts into a dish the quantity of aced want ed, corers it with water, and adds nn ounce of hartshorn for each pint of water. The corn comes up of dark green color, and grows lux uriantly. Drill vs. Broadcast Sowing.—We see in a recent number of the Mark La ne Express, at A meeting of the Oxford Farmers' Club, this subject was elaborately discussed, and that the balance of the testimony of English farmers present was largely in favor of the drill system. This is now generally conceded best by intelli gent farmers in this country. A company of ladies, the other day, dis cussed the following question: '•What is the great duty of man r' One-of them contend ed with success, that it was to pay dry-goods bills. . Shakespeare says, "Frailty, thy name is woman." A French translation has it, "Mademoiselle Frailty is the name of the lady." The ancient Greeks buried their dead in jars.—Hence the origin of the expression—"lle's gone to pot." r When men meet they listen to one another . ; women and girls look at each other.

The first performance in the programme, was a long and gaseous harangue by some spavin-tieeled, broken-winded, dig appointed office-seeking politician, con demnatory of the Kansas policy of President Buchanan, 'and void of all reference to the illustrious dead whose venerated name the meeting was con. vened to honer. Not a word was tit tered from which you could have infer red that HENRY CLAY had any thing to do with the thoughts of the speaker.— It was nothing but "Kansas" and "La compton" and "Calhoun" and "nigger," nothing bat a ranting tirade against " the powers that be." After this-per ferment) was concluded, some other senseless buffoon took the stand, but was' \hissed down by the audience. At this fancture, oar friend retired from the meeting, in disgust, with some very saspicionithoughts in his mind respect ing the honesty and respectability of Anti IrecoraPtonism. Ile says what "riles" him the most, is, that ho was attracted to the " celebration " by the announcoment that JoaN J.

Highly Important.—'T ho Detroit Frre Press states that since the death of Col. BENToN it has boot discovered that. Mrs. FREMONT'S name is not Jtisstr., hut simply and unpoetically, ANN.— Some of the Black Republican papers, however, havo fallen out about tho matter, some contending for JEssts, and others for AN'N. They bare got each otheir by the cars, and it is likoly to be the cause of as great a fend in their ranks as the old question wh Vier JouN C. Parmosv really was JOIIN C. FazmoNT or not, and whether ho sail his prayers in an Episcopal or Catholic church. It is fortunate that this clues : Lion did not come np during the Presi dential campaign, for, combined with thesother, it would mrtainly have rent the Black Republican party in twain - Besides'it would nave severely damaged the Black Republican war cry. "Givo 'em Jessie" would have sounded hor ridly if the literal rendering, "Give 'era Ann," had been substituted therefor.— Erie Obserrer. Senator Douglas and the Republican* of Illinois.--Tho ChicagoTrihuno, which is ono of the most radical of the Repub lican papers of the northwest, reads Mr. Burlingame a lesson for having called upon the young men of Illinois to " stand by these men (Mr. Donglas and the anti-Lecompton Democrats) with all their 'young oritusirism.'"— The Tribune expresses IV the plainest terms its lack of confidence in Senator. Douglas, who, it thinks, has abated not a whit of his hostility to Republican principles. and says that if the Repub licans of Illinois should now sink alt party differences and re-elect Mr. Dou glas, their party would bo so disinteg rated that the State would be lost to freedom in 1860, or if saved, saved only because he (Douglas) allowed it to be saved. It predicts, in conclusion, that his friends will be utterly defeated in the November election.
