It will be eeen that Mrs. Bloomer, late of the city of Mt. Vernon, has got out west a long distance, and is their proclaim ing her doctrine to large audiences of at tentive Kebrasltians. We are happy onour in the opinion of the editor of the Nebradkian that Mrs. B. is "very much of a gentleman." We also think the same of her husband. Krs. Bloomer on Woman's Bight Franchise. Of Last evening, Mrs. Amelia Bloomer de livered a lecture at the State House in this city, on the question of Woman's right of franchise. The Hall of Representatives in which she spoke, was crowded to overflow ing. The lady was listened to with mark ed interest and attention. We think all persons of candor, whatever their opinions may be in relation to the views of Mrs. B will at least acknowledge, that she is cer tainly a most pleasing and logical speaker. and lhal she handled the subject with great ability. Mrs. Bloomer commenced by asserting that it is a principle of all free governments, that the people rule; and as all the people must be subject to the Iaws,all should have a voice in their formation that is, "all who are of sufficient age and discretion, to express an intelligent opinion on the sub ject." It was presumed that none would doubt the correctness of this, when applied to man, but these rights belong not to man alone, but to the race and to each indi vidual member of it without regard to sex Woman is not only entitled to the enjoy. ment of all these rights, which God and nature have bestowed upon the race, but likewise to enjoy the same means of enforcing them as man and therefore she has a right to be heard in the formation of constitutions, in the making of the laws, and in the seleotion of those by whom the laws are administered. This may be thought strong ground to assume, but it is neverti.eless, no more tban the full recognition of those principles of civil liberty, which he at the base of all our ins iiutions, nnd which makes us the freest people in all the worlJ. It is but to carry out in p'ac- tice what all admit, or must admit, if they ill deal honestly with the subject to be true in theory. It ia tut to enforce the great doctrine of innate sovereignty of the people. It is but to vindicate the c iprici y and right of the people the whole peopleto govern themselves. In this country there is one great tribu nal by which all theories must be tried all principles tested all measures settled i ig the campaign, did everything in its and that tribunal is the ballot box. This power in opposition to the Republican move-is the medium through which public opin-jment. We have conversed and had cor- ion finally makes iuelf felt. Deny to pub- lie opinion this instrumentality of making! itself heard, nnd it will be impotent indeed Deny to any class in community the right to be heard at the ballot box, and that class sinks at once into a state of dependence, of civil insignificance, which nothing can save f.om subjugation, oppression and rong. Woman is denied the right of suf frage, and therefore, her condition is one of civil inferiority to man; and civil inferiority too surely begets mental inferiority, because it shuts out from her study and contemplation the very subjects and questions, which above all others, tend to ele vate and dignify man. Woman has the same right to go to the ballot box and vote as man; it is ber duty to do so, and we never can expect to have a perfectly just and upright government until this right is both accorded to, and exercised by her. Although woman is excluded from the ballot box, she is compelled to obey the laws as implicitly as runn. Notwithstanding the sentiment contained in the Declar ation of Independence, that "all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," woman is gov erned without her consent being given or aiiked to such powers, and the is punish ed for the violation of laws as severely as though she had a voice in their formation This is unjust. Women sre in all respects as capable of exercising the elective fran chise, of di-chnrging the duties of citizen ship, of participating in the affairs of gov ernment, as men. Woman is taxed. Her property must bear in equal proportion of the exuences of government. , It is a well understood principle . of republicanism, that tax ition and representation go together or, in oth er words, that alt who pay taxes should have a voice in their imposition. Yet, wo man is taxed, although not represented. tier money ia taken away from her year after year without even the pretence -of asktog her consent for so doing. .' Woman should enjoy the right of. sell government in its fullest extent, because ahe has interests nd rights which are not in fact, and never will be sufficiently guard ed a governments in which she is not al' lowed any political Influence.-. J ' , These and many Vjther points, to which we have neither- time nor1 apace to "advert were presented in a, very plauible and In teresting manner. " la conclusion, said the speaker! th enfranchisement af woman will be attended with the happiest results not for her only, but for the whole race. It will place society upon a higher moral and social elevation than it has ever yet attained." Above we have endeavored as briefly as possible, to give our readers an impartial sketch of the lecture. We will only add, in respect to Mrs. Bloomer, that we think she is very much of a gentleman. Annual Slave letting Vear Washing mu. Our Washington correspondent gives the following account of the annual sale of the labor of slaves near Washington "Last Saturday week many of our eastern men went across the line into Virginia, to be present at the annual sale of the labor of negroes for the year, or in other words hiring out the slaves to the highest bidder. At Fairfax Court House the scene was di versified with many ludicrous scenes, and some too that would have drawn tears from the most stolid of men. The negroes are allowed to go through the crowd and request those whom they would prefer to serve, to bid (br them. Most of the slaves do this, so it is no uncommon thing for a darkey to give a list of bis accomplish ments, and produce every recommenda tion in his favor that he can obtain. A woman whose children were retained by her owner, but who was hired out that year, requested a near neighbor of that owner to lure her, so that she might be near her children. To induce this man to make a higher bid than his competitors, she offered to nay her difference, in ad vance, from her own pocket. One wished to be hired by the man who had obtained the services of his wife ind to bring this about he showed a recommendation from the master of last year, also a license to exhort in the Methodist Church, The men were hired out at the rate of from 990 to $125; the women 130 to $70; and boys from $40 lo $80. The girls were hired out as a general tiling for their board and clothes. XF" The Sciota Gazette takes in hand. in a vigorous and refreshing manner, the Representative of the District in which it is printed, the Hon. Mr. Moore, who recent ly declared in his place in the House that his course as a tcaUere was approved by is constituents. The QateUe savs: "Wu can assure Mr. Moore that instead of his course being approved by his con stituents, it meeis with nothing but thtir unquMlified condemnation. There i but o e paper in the District that supports him, and thai is the G.illupolis Journal, which, dur respondence with many who were Mr. Moore's warmest supporters, and have yet to find one who approves of his course, or accepts of his d fense as at all justifying his opposition to Mr. Banks; and we can a-sure him, if he wishes to represent the Tenth Congressional District, tbe sooner he changes his course the better. If he does not wish to do this, he had better resign and come home. We had rather not be represented at all, than to be misrepresented." Hatter in Kansas. "J. R.," (James Redpath, we presume, known through his letters in the Missouri Democrat,) writing to the N. Y. Tribune on the Istinst., says: We have suffered intensely from the cold- The thermometer has stood at it degrees below zero once; at from 17 to 2d degrees thrice, on different days; and every morning without cessation the mercury has fal len below zero several degrees. Last year at this time, fires were unnecessary, it is said, except for culinary purposes. The Indians say it is the coldest season they have any recollection of. One day last week I was obliged to walk three miles across a prairie. When I entered a house found that my ears, nose, and cheeks were frostbitten, my eyelashes frozen to gether, and my beard concealed beneath a covering of ice. - If it had not been very painful it would have been very comic I tried to laugh, but my cheeks wouldn't stir, and I didn't feel a b'u like laughing when the ice began to thaw. One man lost his feet, and is hardly ixpected to recover. A great number of horts and cattle diwd in this vicinity from cold. SsVRev. Mr. Mar. of Syracuse.took oc casion on Sunday morning to speak of the drunkeness and profanity witnessed at the late firs in thai city as far more appalling and dreadful than the ruin caused by the Conflagration itself.

'Annual Report of the American Coloni-tation Sooietj. From the late annual report of the American Colonisatian Society we learn that the receipts during the past year amounted to 955,276,89. The Soolety sent less than half as many emigrants as the year before. A statement is submitted, snowing the amount contributed by each State to the Society's funds. Massachusetts appears to have given 93,723, and Mississippi 96,643 the latter being the largest amount re ceived of any State in tho Union. David Hunt, of Mississippi, had, in addition to his annual subscription of $600, made donation of 95,000. The contributions of other countries are curious, Choctaw Na tion, 9257,50; New Brunswick, $5; Eng land 91,24; Turkey, 910; North India $56,40. The late Jonathan Colt, of Con necticut, has left a bequest of $6000. The Society commenced the year with a debt of $32,000. They had consequently restricted their operations,so that the whole of that was now paid off. During the year they had only sent three expeditions to Liberia, with two hundred and seven emi grants. The Legislature of Iowa .had granted to every colored person in the State a free passage to Liberia, but the measure had been vetoed by the Governor. The Legislature of Missouri, has passed an act appiopiiating (3.000 a year for ten years, to aid the operations of the Society in that State. The Legislature of New Jersey has made an appropriation for building houses for the accommodation of emigrants, and has also given 91,000 a year towards the emigrant fund. On the whole, the condi tion of the Society is pros-peious, and the friends of colonization have every incen tive to urge them to increase their exer tions. Education Needed. The following actual dialogue occurred in a Court, in a Siate not two thousand miles from New England. A quack doctor of the Thompsunian order was called tu the stand as a witness, and after he had testified to having made "a night vhit," the prosecuting attorney began the cross- examination thus: "Mr. Doctor, to what school of practice An vnn rw-lnnit?" j - e- "I don't belong to any tchool. I never went to any school iu my life, I thank you." "But that is not quiie what I want to know. I mean to what school of mediciue do you belong?" I tell you, sir, I never went to any school of medicine, or practice, or any thing else. I believe nature makes a doc tor. I am a seventh son, sir, ana didn't need to go to school." 'Well, well, what system of medicine do you practice? That is, what kind of medicine do you give. "Oh, that's what you want, ia it? Why, I give the BruUnic medicine always, and everywhere." "The Biutanic? You mean the Botanic system, don't you?" "No, sir, the Brutanic, I say." "Now will you tell me how much you charge for a nocturnal visit?" Sir," (very indignantly,) "I don't give any such medicine. I practice as I told you, to the Brutanic system, and I'll have you and this Court to understand, I don't give any such medicine as that horrid stuff." No more questions were atked. R. I. Schoolmaster. Flain Hints from a Farmer. 'Tis said "a word to the wise is suffi cient." Alwaj s take one or more agricultural papers, for every number will give you in. formation that will benefit you in dollars. Be admonished that a stitch in time saves nine, for the laying up of one rail or nailing one board, may save the ninth rep etition and unruly stock. Colts must have a great deal of exer cise. Don't be afraid to plow deep. A few more oats in the spring will make many more at harvest. Early fruit trees should be protected fiom (he fiost, by i-preading some straw around the roots, which will prevent the buds from starting. Feed your stock the year round if you would make them profitable. Give your calves, which ou intend to ritise, a little fine hay. and as soon as pos sible turn them out to grass. Innovations on old precedents should be rare. Keep clear of Shanghais. Lime should be accessible to poultry. Make the most of everything. Never half do anything; you may thus lose more in one day than a month can restore.Often inspect your stock, and keep a sharp look out for disease and accidents. . Pure water should be supplied to everything. ' ,, ' '..'' Quality,' not quantity, should be . the maxim. . A Rtelt ConoKssMAir. The richest man in Cohorea I. said to be the Hon; Was. Aiketu of South Carolina . His property is estimated at fi,ooo,ow... ;i : . .,;,-,, T Special Keuago from President Pierce. Wa have read this long and not unlnte. resting document. Its points of interest are not however, of a wonderful character, and it wu only pleasing to us, inasmuch as it gave a brief history of the legislative affairs of Kansas territory, with tbe presidential remarks thereon, all of which scented with a strong Sou'hern Aroma. The message occupies over two columns and a third in the New York Times, over two columns of which is taken up as the preamble to the pith of the thing, which is embraced in the following concluding clause: "Although serious and tbreatning disturbances in the Territory of Kansas, announced to me by the Governor in December last, were speedily quieted without the effusion of blood, and in a satisfactory manner; there is, I regret to say, reason to apprehend that disorders will continue to occur there, with increasing tendency to vio lence, until decisive measures be taken to dispose of the question itself, which constitutes the inducement or occasion of internal agitation and of external interference."This, it seems to me, can best be accomplished by providing that, when the inhabitants of Kansas may desire it, and shall be sufficient in numbers to constitute a State, a convention of delegates duly elected by Ihe qualified votes shall assemble and frame a constitution, and thus to prepare, through regular and lawful means for its admission into the Union as a State. "I respectfully recommend the enactment of a law to that effect. "I recommend, also, that a special appropriation be made to defray any expense which may become requisite in the execution of the laws or the maintenance of publio order in the Territory of Kansas." FRANKLIN PIERCE. Washington, January 24, 1856. Prayers Needed. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, in view of the lamentable want of "back-bones" at the Capitol, says. "If the Northern States really care anything about the spread of si very; if they ar : not all willing and ready to take kicks from the South ao long as they can get coppers with them, let the three thousand clergymen who petitioned against tbe Nebraska bill, and ten thousand more unite in appointing a day of solemn prayer and supplication; and kt them unite in entreating Almighty G.id that all the children born hereafter in Free S ales may be born with out doughfaces and with good substantial, strait, stiff backbones. And when that thirteen thousand man power prayer shall be concluled, let the "round world and all thai therein is," cry aloud 'Amen! and Amen!' " How to be Beautiful. Tbe following passage is from one of Prof. Upham's letters to tbe Congregationalism He is speaking of the captain of the steamer in which he sailed from New York: "As we were about to start, I saw him move to an elevated position above the wheel, and it was interesting to see how quickly and completely the inward thought or purpose altera tbe outward man. He gave a quick glance, to everypart of the ship. He cast his eye over the multitude coming on board the ship, amonir whom was the American Ambassador to England, who may be said to embody in bis offi cial capacity a nation's rights and honors. He saw the husbands and wives, the mothers and children entrusted lo his care, aud his slender form as he gave the orders for our departure, seemed at once to grow erect and firm; the muscles of his face swelled; his dark eyes glowed with a new fire; nnd his whole person expanded and beautified itself by the power of inward emotion. I have noticed this interesting phenome non, and have come to tbe conclusion if man or woman either wishee to realize the full power of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing noble hopes and purposes by having something ts do and something to live for which is worthy of humanity and which, by extending the capacities of the soul, gives expansion and symmetry to the body which conuins it." Extravagance. An Illinois farmer, writing to a Chicacro paper about the expenses of a settler, says: tiis living will vary according to size ol hi familv. and Ai propensity to grat'fy pride which it nlwaii an expensive article in a new country." The good farmer might have added that pr de was an expensive ancle anywhere. Certainly, if it is a eoitly an affair on a prairie farm, it is none the less costly in our great Atlantic cities, which are full of the rum caused by pride, ihou- sands are annualy beggared and tens of thousands straightened in circumstances by this same pride. It is pride that makes the father dress his daughter beyond his means. It i pride that ir duces the mother to do the kitchen work, that Mary Anne may sit in the par lor and practice music. It is pride that leads families to live in houses finer th at they can afford, td give showy parties, tb waste tbe surplus of income ill a sarrJmer excursion. It is pride'-that has French mirrors, . French i laces. French China. Frtnch knicknackeries of every sort. It is pride, in short, that Is at the root of half toe extravagance oi ine age. . iruiyuiuinr wise man say, "Pride goeth before de sb action." Embarrassment and ruin are thai prid. .; c; ; : . .' Mr. Bright on the United States At a public meeting of the Marsden Me chanics Institution, at Manchester, on" the 14th December, Mr. Bright M. P., in the course of a speech, depreciating the war, said: "Many of you have relatives or friends in America. That young nation has a population about equal to ours in these Islands. It has a great internal and external com merce, it Has more tonacre in snipping: than we have, tt has more newspapers than we have. It has institutions more free than we have that horrid slavery of the South excepted and which is no fruit of its institutions, but ah unhappy legacy of. the past. It has also a great manufactur ing interest in different branches. That is the young giant whose shadow ever grows, and there is the true rival of this country. How do we stand or start in the race? Tbe United States Government, in eluding all the Governments of all the sovereign States, raises in taxes probably from ,12,000,000 to 15,000,000 sterling ic tbe year. England Ihis year will raise in taxes and loans, and will expend nearly 100,000,000. This population must raise and will spend, probably, 80,000,000 in this year more than that population will raise and spend, and in America there is far less poverty and pauperism than in Eng land. Can we run this race on these terms and against these odds? Can we hope to be as well off as America if the products of our industry arc thus swept away by the tax gatherer, and in the vain scheme of saving Europe from imaginary dangers? Can poverty be lessened among us, can education spread, can the brutality of so many of our population be uprooted, can all or any thing that good men look for come to us, while the fruits of our industry, the foundation of all social und moral good are squandered in this manner? Pursue the phantom of military glory for ten years and expend in that time a sum equal to all the visible property of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and then compare yourself with the United States of America, and where will you be? Pauperism, crime and political anarthy are the legacies we are preparing for our children, and there is no escape for us unless we change our course, and re solve to disconnect ourselves from the po licy which tends incessantly to embroil us with the nations of the continent of Europe.' How to be Happy. I will give you two or three good rules which may help you to become happier than you would be without knowing them; but as to being completely happy, that you can never be till you get to heaven. The first ia "try your best to make others happy." "I never was happy," said a certain king, "till I begun to take pleasure in the welfare cf my people; but ever since theu, in the darkest day, I have had sunshine in my heart. My second rule is, "Ba content with lit tle." There are many good reasons for this rule. We deserve but little, we require but little, and "better is a little with the fear of God, than great treasures and trouble therewith." Two men were determined to be rich.but they set about it in different ways; for the one strove to raise up his means to his de sires; while the other did his best to bring down his desires to his means. The result was, the one who coveted much was always repining, while he who desired but little was always contented. My third rule is, "Look on the sunny side of things." Look up with hopeful eyes, Though all things seem forlorn; The sun that sets to-night will rise. Again to morrow morn. The skipping lamb, the singing lark and the leaping fish tell us that happiness is notconfiued tooneplace. God in his goodness has spread it abroad on the earth, In the air, and in the waters. Two aged wo men lived in the same cottage; one was al ways fearing a storm, and the other Was always looking for sum-hine. Hardly need I say which it was wore a forbidding frown, or which it was whose face was lightened up with joy. 3T As an instance of the- impropriety of giving the names of females to ships, we copy the following announcement ahlch la ely appeand in a London paperl The Princess Alice has gone through a thorough repair, both internally and externally, and her engines have been Overhaul ed and the numerous deftcts made good.

",i The religion of Kentucky is rotten. Like that of the Romish church In the sixteenth century, It is full of mummery and show, but devoid of life-giving power. Wherever a minister goes, he is expected to labor for ah increase of numerical strength in the organization' to which he-belongs, but there seems to be no conception of a holy life of communion with God of being filled with the Spirit. j Southern religion Is a beautiful body often, sorjdetlmes arrayed in gaudy attire, arid, by a sort of galvanic force, is made td perform! sundry exercises of nerve and muscle; but the soul has departed, and corruption has) so far proceeded that a strong battery is required to produce even a quiver. .'
