i ififf In if MOUNT VERNON, OHIO, TUESDAY MORNING, J'UNE 8, 1858. VOL. IV. HI r Mil 4 ; I: .1 I i 1 5 Grow vs. Keitt. ' From the New London Chronicle. The "Southron" came down llko a Jiitt on UU proy; And tueohivulry followed, to 100 tho affray: And he cried with an oath, while he iliuok liko a mouso, r . 'What business have you on thin lido of tho bouio?" Then spake Mr, Grow quite easy and cool (Re knew hima bully, andthoughthiuiafool.) "My rights I'll maintain, In this hall of the frco, To 'object,' when I please, and whorovor I bo!" 'What mean you" enid Koitt; "by the answer you made?" Bald Grow, again cooly "I moant what I said!" In language unliko tbepolito "Mr. Guppy," Koitt said, "you're a Black Ropullioan puppy!" Answorod Grow, with the wordd and spunk of tho free, "No driver of ilavos crocks nia lash over me!" Said "ohivulrous" Koitt, "Wo'll seo about that," As ho sprang at Grow's throat, like ft wild mountain eat Just then came a "stunnor" boncath his loft onr, And "the gentleman from South Carolina" felt queer; 1 ('Tis whispered that "stunner" waa planted by Grow: But "Chivalry" fancies bo just "stubbed his too,") Then on ruslied tho south, in a terrible plight And on rushed the North, to " back up " tho Right; Virginia "fired up" like afire-fly in Juno: Pennsylvania "caught up a stono-waro spittoon;" Ohio "stepped 'round," and it seemed very plain Was wishing "friend Grow" would "hit him again." Wisconsin was thoro, "strikingout right and loft " Illinois Mississippi of reason beroft; Tho South hit tho North a "terrible dig" ' ThoNortb madoa "grab" and off wont a wig," Then ascended a shout and up wont a roar, When the wig was replaced with "backside before;" And the North, looking on and enjoying tho rig, Thought tho head was turned 'round as well as the wig. Now, peace is restored; so, when Congress adjourns, And the "Member" from South Carolina returns; His friends may declare "bo has lost all his wits" That "Northerner" gavebim "particular fits," Yet we'll hope that the ladies, forgetting the blow, Will prosont him a cano, and then lind w; hit toe. The Minutes. MOM "POND-LILLY 6T0MES." We are but Minutes little things 1 Each ono furnished with sixty wings, Wi th which we fly on our unseen track, And nota Minute overcomes back. Wo aro but Minutos yet each ono bears A little bunion of joys or cares. Tako patlontly the Minutes of pain Tho worst of Minutos cannot remain. Wo aro but Minutes when we bring A few of tho drops from pleasure's spring, Taste their awoetness whilo yot we stay - It takes but a Minute to fly away. Wo aro but Minutos use us well For how wo aro used wo must one day toll, Who uses Minutos, has hours to uio Who losos Minutos, whole years must lose. The Holyoke Paper Company. This company waa formed about a year ago ' and has consequently been obliged to combat with all the embarrassments of the financial revulsion, yet the work of building has been i pushed steadily onward, and now they have as fine and substantial a mill as the county can boast of, and are prepared to enter tnto successful competition with any paper man ufacturing company in existence. A force of about sixty hands is now employed, and the paper is beginning to be turned out in largo quantities. There are several reasons why tho paper manufactured at this mill will be of a superior quality, and other reasons which we will endeavor to state, why the paper will certainly be widely sought by dealers and consumers all over the United States. . In the process of manufacturing, we notice f everal excellencies, and among others that all the paper mi da is to be pure white (unless by special order,) and we might as well nay here what gives us much pleasure that we see indications that public taste is coining mora and more to favor the exclusive use of white papor. ftnthing can be half so neat as the line pearl white, and wo long for the time when the coarse and odius colored paper, so much in vogue for the past few years, shall bo wholly discarded. And the people are beginning to understand a fact, well known to manufacturers and extensive dealers, that it takes much bettor stock and more care in the manufacture of white paper than in colored Much stock that would make only second And third class white paper is, with the help of a little coloring, worked off as first class paper to an evident disadvantage to the consumer. The custom of ruling paper upon only three pages, to which attention has lately been called in some of the public journals, will receive attention from tt is company, and the paper that is ruled at all, will be ruled on all sides. Another most important improvement, because demanded by justice, and one which every manufactory will be compelled to adopt, il that of putting up all perfect quires. In the old method two quires in every ream are nearly worthless, but yet they nave to be bought and paid for the same as the perfect . quires. : Let purchasers remember, when looking for paper to call for the " Holyoke Paper Company's " paper, and they will not be subject to the loss of two quires in a ream a tenth part of the whole'. The paper like that put upon the outside of the quires by most manufacturers, will be cut up, and what i good, wilt be made into envelopes, all in the same building and the rest will go back nd be worked over. The small sizes of gilt edged paper will be put up in boxes, after the English and French method, which will be much neater, without any additional cost. The large sizes of common paper will be put up in wrappers, of the most elegant dosign and workmanship. The name of the company wi'l be stamped upon . all paper put upatthismitl.and no paper.so poor as not to do credit to the company, will be palmed off "Under assumed and fictitious names. We have thus, wholly without solicitation, briefly stated what appear to us to be improvements now being inaugurated by this new company, not because we do not suppose the merits of the paper will not be seen and appro-oiated by a discerning public, but because we love to record indications of progress and ira-. provement in any branch of manufacture, so vitally concerning the public interest a the production of writing paper. Holyoke Mirror. the Printer. The Belfast Mercury givea the following In rotation to the printer: "From nich to low they are the thesame careless, clever, well informed, reckless fellows, knowing how to act better than they do -nothing at times everything it occasion reariircs, or the lit takes them. JNo sooner ore thoy com for table- in one town than they make tracks for another, even thougli tliey travel on "hair space" means. And to what will they not turn their hands? We have seen, says an American editor, one and the same individual of the craft, a minister in California lawyer in Missouri, a sheriff in Ohio, a boatmen on a western canal, Bulling a priva teer, and a pressman in a large printing ollice. Nor are the characters confined to any one country they are everywhere the Bame. We have met thein as lecturers, actors, travelling preachers in fact everything. We havo met on a tramp in this country, members of this intelligent , restless ana roving prolession from all parts of the globe Frenchmen, Span iards, Portuguese, Germans, and Swedes, and all, apparently, feel as much at home hero as in thoir own country. Ardent lovers ol liberty, king-crafts and priests find but little favor in their eyes thoy are always with the poo-pla. When the Chartist excitement was ra ging In England, the most spirited leaders in the movement were printers, wnen tno barricades were raised in Paris in 1818, the compositors cast their types into bullets and tired them at the royalist troops. v lien tne Americans wero at war with Mexico, ono of Gen. Taylor's regiments was composed almost entirely of Printers, and they were the bravest of his troops. Home Manners. Wn enmntimea meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affectionate Tliov will return (rom a journey, and greet their families with a dis tant dignity, anil move among uieir ciinuren with the cold and lofty splendorof an iceberg, surrounded by its fragments. There is hardly urn unnatural siirht on earth than one of theso families without a heart. A father had better extinguish a boys eyes than take away his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friendship, and values sympathy and atlection, would not nthcr lose all that is beautiful in nature scenery, than bo robbed of the hidden treasures of the heart? Cherish, then, your heart's best ailections. indulge in tkn ti-n rtn am 1 n-nvhinc emotions of filial. Da- rental and fraternal love. Think it not a weakness. God is love. Love God, every-nri ouArvthinc that is lovelv. Teach your children to love; to lovo the rose; the rob in; to love their parents; to love ineir uou. let it bo a studied object of their domestic culture to give them warm hearts, ardent affections. Bind your fumily togother by those strong cords. You cannot make them too strong, lteligion is love; love to God, to man. Beeciieb Confesses.

The Free State Convention of Kansas which assembled to put in nomination a candidate for Congress and ft full State Ticket, and closed its labors on tho 30th ult., was marked by a greater d -grce of harmony than was an-ticipated. The resolutions adopted were signed by a Committee supposed to reflect dif-erent sentimonti.and passed through the Convention with only two dissenting voices. The question which'it was thought would form a bono of contention in tho deliberations of he Convention, was the much vexed quostion of the negro suffrage. Tho resolution, omlwdy- ing this question, as it passod, reads as follows : Mfreas, There are in different localities different interpretations of those portions of the Constitution pertaining to suffrage and schools; therefore, "lletolved, That at tho election upon the Constitution the voters of Kansas be requested to voto for or against negro suffrage; and for or acuinst separate schools for white and negro children, and if the majority of the votes cast be against negro suflrage, it shall oporate as instructions on tho first Legislature to submit to the people atonco an amendment of tho Constitution prohibiting negro suffrage; and if a majority of the votes cast bo in favor of separate schools, it shall oporate in like manner as instructions to tho first Legislature to submit an amendment providing for scp.v rat schools for whito and negro children, except in districts whero tho people, by general consent, shall allow the schools to be in com mon. This action is cortainly fair enough. The resolution, it will bo seen, concedes, by infer ence, that negroes are now voters; but then the question whether they shall remain voters is proposed to be submitted fairly and unequiv ocally to a voto of the people. The fact is the whole of tins hue and cry raised against the negro suffrage feature of the Leavonworth Con stitution is simply an attempt of Pro-Slavery- ism to cot up a new issue in the canvass. 1 no Free State men of Kansas, in their Nominating Convention, havo declared, as the above reso- ution indicates, that they are willing the ques tion shall bo decided by the votes of the people of the new State. SandutJcy Register. lvim'et. Millet is a rapid growing crop, requiring but a few weeks to mature in, and when sown on a light, warm, well prepared soil, will yield more hay per aero than the best timothy meadows. It may do sown1 during any lew-sure spell from tho middle of May to the last of June, though probably the best time to sow tho seed in the first good, moist season that occurs after the middle of May. Ono bushel of seed is sufficient for two acres. Xo attempt should be made to secu. from the same crop both seed and hay. When it is desired to raise seed, a half or two-thirds of tho abovo quantity of seed is sufficient to sow. wnen seen is tno opiect, it is mucn bettor to grow it in drills. For hay, it should be harvested while the seeds aro soft, and before but a small portion of the stem has turned yellow. In curing, it should be exposed to the sun only so long as is neccessary lor it to wilt, and expel the external moisture ; it should then bo put up in cocks until cured, which in good weather will require but a short time. Millet cut up and wet and sprinkled with a little corn meal or wheat shorts, makes good feed lor milch cows thoy not only thrive on it, but it will greatly increase the quantity of milk. We have no doubt that if the common millet was sown on tho prairies of Iowa, where the "Hungarian Grass," which is only a variety of millet, very nearly allied to tho kind under consideration, has mado such a stir among tho farmers, it would yield as abundantly, npd hay of as good a quality as tho Hungarian variety. Valley Farmer. The Yankee Pedlar. The importance of importing your own stock, if you are going into tho wool business is very emphatically enforced iu the following capital story: 'Some years ago. I was traveling on the eastern shore of Maryland, and stopped for tho night at the house of a gentleman named Jones. Ho was not at home but his wife received mo very politely, though I was in I ho capacity of a traveling merchant, a peripatetic vender of notions, vulgarly called a pedlar. She made a few purchases of articles useful in tho family, and might havo bought more, had not Mr. Junes returned unexpectedly and commenced abusing ine most roundly, and said ho didn't want any pedlars about his house. 1 gave hi in bick clnina in his own coin till hu cooled down, when I asked him what mado him mad at nil "gentlemen in my line of business." lie told ine: "A few months ago, a Yunkeo pedlar was about here soiling his tin ware and taking pay in anything ho could got. My neighbor lar-mer, Mr. Brown, had a very troublesome ram. One time ho jumped the fence and got into tho wheat, and another day into the corn and was always whoro ho had no business to be. Ono day just as tho farmer had got him out and tied him up, this pedlar came along, and wanted lo sell his ware." " Mr. Brown said he would sell him tho old ram and take his pay in tin. The pedlar took him up and offering him two dollars' worth of his truck for tho ugly old sheep. The farmer agreed, picked out his tin things; the pedlar hoisted tho ram, with legs tied, into his confounded old cart, and drove right along hero to my house, and had tho impudenceyes, the scoundrel had to tell me the ram bad" been imported from England by order of one of tho rich farmers, Jeffers, down the country, iinj ho ha I agreed to take it to him; it had cost $0iun hindin.'. and he was to havo $2f0 f.r it whon ho delivered it to Mr. Jellers, but he was so tired of having tho plaguy thin in his wagon that lie would tnke $100 for it the first chance be could get, I was quito anxious to improve uiy stock, and thought this an opportunity to buy an Imported fuil blood, as the rascal warranted it to bo, that I paid the fallow $jlUO, and he cut the strings and let the ram run. Sure enough he did run, full split right over the fence, and I after him, and my niggers come on in fifteen minutes my ram, niggers and I fe'ehed up in Brown's yard, whon I found I bad been sold as well as that rascally old sheep. Before I got bick, the pedlar had sold ten dollars' worth of wooden nutmegs and nonsense to my wife, and bad gone off to parts unknown. He nover came this way again; and if you are one of that sort you had better put up your traps and be moving." : "Finally I prevailed on him to let me stop till morning, and to accept a few Yankee Notions without fee or reward. But he will never forget that $100 and his neighbor's ram." rVt A vnunir lailv un that 'ifa cart-wheel has nine fellows attached to it, it's s pity that a girl liko her can't have one' Waggery. Some timoago on the Sabbath day, we wended our way to ono of our churches, instead of a sermon, heard an address on missions. After the address was concluded, the brethren wont around with the baskats for contributions, Parson L , who had one of the basket, took the side on which we set Immediately in front of us, and upon the next seat, negligently reclined our friend, Bill 11 , a gentleman of humor, and full of dry jokes. Parson L , extended the baskets,and Bill slowly shook his head. "Come, Wiliiam, give something, said the parson. "Can't do it," replied Bill. "Why not? Is not the cause a very good onef" "Yes; but lam not able to contribute any thing." "Poll! I know better; you must give ft better reason." "Well, I owe so much. I must be just bo-fore I am generous." "But you owe God a larger dobt than any one else." . "That's truo parson, but then ho ain't a pushing mo all tho time, like the rest of my creditors." Tho parson's face got into rather a curious condition as he passed on, and Bill continued at bis ease. Cmcusir.ocuTonr The following is the next thing in evidence concerning the stone as ' big as a small piece of chalk:" "Were you traveling on the night the affair took place?" "I should say, sir." " What kind of weather was it?" "I should say it was a pretty considerable kind of weather." "Was it raining at that timo?" "It was so dark I couldn't see it raining I felt it dropping though." "I low dark was it?" "I had no way of telling but it was not light by a jug full." "Can't you compare it to something?" "Yes if I was going to compare it to anything, I should say it was as dark as a stack of black cats!" (7- " I say, friend, your horso is a little contrary is be not?" 'No, sir-ee!" "What mikes him stop, then?' "Oh ho alraid somebody will say 'whoa,' and he shan't hear it. frr A tonder-heartod widower fainted at tho funeral of his third beloved. "What shall we do with him?" asked a friend of his. "Lot him alone, sa'da waggish bystander, he'll soon re-toive." 0" Did the defendant approach the plaintiff seriatim? Inqui red an attorney, in a caso of assault and batter'. "No. sir-ee," was the reply, "ho went at 'em with a poker." OT A contemporary inquires il the young ladies of the present day are fitted for wives. We think it a much more important question whether they are fitted for husbands. 05" "Jury," said an Arkansas Judge, "you kin go out and find a verdict. If you can't find ono of your own, get the ono the last jury used." They returned a verdict of suicide in the ninth degree. 05" "Grandma. I hopo you will die first." "Why so my child?"

Senator Brodcrick, who wns elected as a Democrat, thus delivered himself on tho floor of tho United States Senate, a few days ago. In speaking of President Buchanan, he said : " I hope, in mercy to tho boasted intelligence of this age, tho historian, whon writing the history of these times, will ascribe tho at-tempt of the Executive to force this constitution upon an unwilling people, to the fading intellect, the petulant faision, and IreiMing do tage, of an old man on the verge of the grave."

TO THE PEOPLE OF OHIO. Republican State Convention. The delegates to the Republican Slate Convention for the nomination of State Ticket, and tho transaction of such other business as may be presented, will assemble in ,the City of Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, the 13th day of July next, at 10 o'clock A, M, Nominations will then be made for tho following officers : Ono Suprome Court Judge, Attorney General, Member of the Board of Public Works and Comptroller. Tho basis of representation in said Convention will be the vote given for Governor Chuso at the last annual election. Each county will bo entitled to one delegate fur every 600 votes so given, and each' fraction abovo half that number will also bo entitled to a dolegate. It is recommended that tho several County Conventions for the selection of delegates be held at the county seats of each county, on Saturday, the 3d of July, at two o'clock P. M. It is hoped that each county committee will immediately issue the call for the county convention, and if tho above suggestion is not adopted, that they will make such changes of time and place as they see proper. In the midst of tho great contest which is now so fiercoly waged by the slave power of the Nation, aided by the President and his party, against free labor and free institutions, it is perhaps needless to remind the people of Ohio of tho vast importance and vital character of the issue, and of the overwhelming necessity of concerted and vigorous action on the part of all who prelor freedom to slavery, and free to slave labor. The desperate and persistent attempt of the Administration to force upon tho people of Kansas a slave Constitution, the frauds, forgeries, murders, and uncounted villainies, which havo been perpetrated, and upheld, and attained in that teri-tory by tli3 present dominant party; the alarming encroachments that have been made upon the rights of the free States by the Drcd Scott decision; the monster error that Slavery is national, and extends to all the territories of tho Union, while freedom is sectional and can never exist in our territories, even if every Ireeman therein shall demand it, and every legislature enact it, and can only bo established by positive law, when they shall emerge from tho pupilage of Federal Government and control, and tho zealous support given to these heresies by the President end his party, all conspire to rouse the freemen of the frco North to a sense of the danger and degradation which must follow a tame submission to these encroachments. The base and cowardly desertion of our equal rights which is involved in the passage of the, English Swindle, by which Congress declares that 40,000 inhabitants may coine into the Union as an equal with Ohio if they will adopt a Slave Constitution, while if they re sist in prelerring to bo a J) rce State, ihcy shall waitoutside, and be governed by the ap pointees of the Slave Power, till they have more than double that population, admits of no excuse or apology, and must merit the stern condemnation of every patriot, and friend of even j ustice and equal rights. The English liill gives to the appointees ot tho president the entire control of the ballot boxes and all the machinery 0; the proposed vote in Kansas, on thequestionof the admission to the Union under the infamous Lecompton Constitution The bitter experience of tho past has taught tho world that no fraud is too monstrous; no villainy too wicked; no corruption too daring for the pliant instrument to despotism. For presuming to be fair and honest, we havo seen lleeder, Geary, Walker and Stanton, in rapid succession beheaded at the imperious com niand of the Slavs Power. That samo power still controls the destines of the Republic, with progress and plans unchanged, lot tho Freemen of Ohio are called upon to acquiesce in a measure of this character, ond to tamely submit to thio new and bitter insult and disgrace. Auded to all theso national evils, the legisla tion of the past winter in Ohio; tho principles of action announced, and the acts pertoi med. aro of such a character as to demand, as they will receive tho condemnation of tho voters and tax payers of the State. In view of all these causes, wo ask the froe- men of Ohio without regard to their former political associations, to unito with us in ad ministering such a storn rebuke to arrogant Slave Power as the empire Stato of tho fair and great West so justly demands. Let us then select our wisest, ablest, purest men as delegates; and let tho Gbasd Council ok the UKl'HESENTATIVES OK t RES LABOR, On the Bll nivcrsary of the passage of the glorious ordi nance of 1787, which dedicated tho soil of Ohio, and tho North West to freedom, and Irco institutions forover, bo such a demon stra tion as tho cause anuh times demand.

For tho purpose of co-operating with all who oppose the extension of slavery and the domination of the Slave Power, and who seek to extend and perpctuato tho blessings of Liberty, we have associated ourselves together under the title of tho National Republican Association, and adopt as the general basis of our action the following principles : 1. The Federal Government has no power over tho system of Slavery within the States; but within its own jurisdiction it has tho power, and ought to exert it, to secure life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness to all mon. 2. There should bo neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for the punishment of crime in any of tho Territories of the United States. 3.

Florida his been badly treated. Tha volunteers have been disbanded, although it is satisfactorily proved that the grand total of tho enemy numbers full 32, including ut course) women and and children. This abandonment of the State in the face of such a foe, is without s precedent in the history of Indian wars, on the frontier. Hero is an opportunity for the expenditures of at least a million or two, annually, and there is no precedent, sines th days of Jackson, for the surrender of so promising an opening. Tbirty-two Indians, including the squaws and papooses, soma of the latter very savage, ought to be worth to Florida at least a million and a half, which ii estimating them at less than $50,000, head, an unreasonable low figure considering th price at which Indians have generally, uvea exterminated and the country pacified. It strikes us that thia abandonment of Fiords is matter that ought to be brought before the southern Convention: or it might M still belter for Florida to get up a convention of her own and threaten to secede from th Union, in case her reasonable demand should not lo be complied with.

The "Southron" came down llko a Jiitt on UU proy; And tueohivulry followed, to 100 tho affray: And he cried with an oath, while he iliuok liko a mouso, r . 'What business have you on thin lido of tho bouio?" Then spake Mr, Grow quite easy and cool (Re knew hima bully, andthoughthiuiafool.) "My rights I'll maintain, In this hall of the frco, To 'object,' when I please, and whorovor I bo!" 'What mean you" enid Koitt; "by the answer you made?" Bald Grow, again cooly "I moant what I said!" In language unliko tbepolito "Mr. Guppy," Koitt said, "you're a Black Ropullioan puppy!" Answorod Grow, with the wordd and spunk of tho free, "No driver of ilavos crocks nia lash over me!" Said "ohivulrous" Koitt, "Wo'll seo about that," As ho sprang at Grow's throat, like ft wild mountain eat Just then came a "stunnor" boncath his loft onr, And "the gentleman from South Carolina" felt queer; 1 ('Tis whispered that "stunner" waa planted by Grow: But "Chivalry" fancies bo just "stubbed his too,") Then on ruslied tho south, in a terrible plight And on rushed the North, to " back up " tho Right; Virginia "fired up" like afire-fly in Juno: Pennsylvania "caught up a stono-waro spittoon;" Ohio "stepped 'round," and it seemed very plain Was wishing "friend Grow" would "hit him again." Wisconsin was thoro, "strikingout right and loft " Illinois Mississippi of reason beroft; Tho South hit tho North a "terrible dig" ' ThoNortb madoa "grab" and off wont a wig," Then ascended a shout and up wont a roar, When the wig was replaced with "backside before;" And the North, looking on and enjoying tho rig, Thought tho head was turned 'round as well as the wig. Now, peace is restored; so, when Congress adjourns, And the "Member" from South Carolina returns; His friends may declare "bo has lost all his wits" That "Northerner" gavebim "particular fits," Yet we'll hope that the ladies, forgetting the blow, Will prosont him a cano, and then lind w; hit toe. The Minutes. MOM "POND-LILLY 6T0MES." We are but Minutes little things 1 Each ono furnished with sixty wings, Wi th which we fly on our unseen track, And nota Minute overcomes back. Wo aro but Minutos yet each ono bears A little bunion of joys or cares. Tako patlontly the Minutes of pain Tho worst of Minutos cannot remain. Wo aro but Minutes when we bring A few of tho drops from pleasure's spring, Taste their awoetness whilo yot we stay - It takes but a Minute to fly away. Wo aro but Minutos use us well For how wo aro used wo must one day toll, Who uses Minutos, has hours to uio Who losos Minutos, whole years must lose. The Holyoke Paper Company. This company waa formed about a year ago ' and has consequently been obliged to combat with all the embarrassments of the financial revulsion, yet the work of building has been i pushed steadily onward, and now they have as fine and substantial a mill as the county can boast of, and are prepared to enter tnto successful competition with any paper man ufacturing company in existence. A force of about sixty hands is now employed, and the paper is beginning to be turned out in largo quantities. There are several reasons why tho paper manufactured at this mill will be of a superior quality, and other reasons which we will endeavor to state, why the paper will certainly be widely sought by dealers and consumers all over the United States. . In the process of manufacturing, we notice f everal excellencies, and among others that all the paper mi da is to be pure white (unless by special order,) and we might as well nay here what gives us much pleasure that we see indications that public taste is coining mora and more to favor the exclusive use of white papor. ftnthing can be half so neat as the line pearl white, and wo long for the time when the coarse and odius colored paper, so much in vogue for the past few years, shall bo wholly discarded. And the people are beginning to understand a fact, well known to manufacturers and extensive dealers, that it takes much bettor stock and more care in the manufacture of white paper than in colored Much stock that would make only second And third class white paper is, with the help of a little coloring, worked off as first class paper to an evident disadvantage to the consumer. The custom of ruling paper upon only three pages, to which attention has lately been called in some of the public journals, will receive attention from tt is company, and the paper that is ruled at all, will be ruled on all sides. Another most important improvement, because demanded by justice, and one which every manufactory will be compelled to adopt, il that of putting up all perfect quires. In the old method two quires in every ream are nearly worthless, but yet they nave to be bought and paid for the same as the perfect . quires. : Let purchasers remember, when looking for paper to call for the " Holyoke Paper Company's " paper, and they will not be subject to the loss of two quires in a ream a tenth part of the whole'. The paper like that put upon the outside of the quires by most manufacturers, will be cut up, and what i good, wilt be made into envelopes, all in the same building and the rest will go back nd be worked over. The small sizes of gilt edged paper will be put up in boxes, after the English and French method, which will be much neater, without any additional cost. The large sizes of common paper will be put up in wrappers, of the most elegant dosign and workmanship. The name of the company wi'l be stamped upon . all paper put upatthismitl.and no paper.so poor as not to do credit to the company, will be palmed off "Under assumed and fictitious names. We have thus, wholly without solicitation, briefly stated what appear to us to be improvements now being inaugurated by this new company, not because we do not suppose the merits of the paper will not be seen and appro-oiated by a discerning public, but because we love to record indications of progress and ira-. provement in any branch of manufacture, so vitally concerning the public interest a the production of writing paper. Holyoke Mirror. the Printer. The Belfast Mercury givea the following In rotation to the printer: "From nich to low they are the thesame careless, clever, well informed, reckless fellows, knowing how to act better than they do -nothing at times everything it occasion reariircs, or the lit takes them. JNo sooner ore thoy com for table- in one town than they make tracks for another, even thougli tliey travel on "hair space" means. And to what will they not turn their hands? We have seen, says an American editor, one and the same individual of the craft, a minister in California lawyer in Missouri, a sheriff in Ohio, a boatmen on a western canal, Bulling a priva teer, and a pressman in a large printing ollice. Nor are the characters confined to any one country they are everywhere the Bame. We have met thein as lecturers, actors, travelling preachers in fact everything. We havo met on a tramp in this country, members of this intelligent , restless ana roving prolession from all parts of the globe Frenchmen, Span iards, Portuguese, Germans, and Swedes, and all, apparently, feel as much at home hero as in thoir own country. Ardent lovers ol liberty, king-crafts and priests find but little favor in their eyes thoy are always with the poo-pla. When the Chartist excitement was ra ging In England, the most spirited leaders in the movement were printers, wnen tno barricades were raised in Paris in 1818, the compositors cast their types into bullets and tired them at the royalist troops. v lien tne Americans wero at war with Mexico, ono of Gen. Taylor's regiments was composed almost entirely of Printers, and they were the bravest of his troops. Home Manners. Wn enmntimea meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affectionate Tliov will return (rom a journey, and greet their families with a dis tant dignity, anil move among uieir ciinuren with the cold and lofty splendorof an iceberg, surrounded by its fragments. There is hardly urn unnatural siirht on earth than one of theso families without a heart. A father had better extinguish a boys eyes than take away his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friendship, and values sympathy and atlection, would not nthcr lose all that is beautiful in nature scenery, than bo robbed of the hidden treasures of the heart? Cherish, then, your heart's best ailections. indulge in tkn ti-n rtn am 1 n-nvhinc emotions of filial. Da- rental and fraternal love. Think it not a weakness. God is love. Love God, every-nri ouArvthinc that is lovelv. Teach your children to love; to lovo the rose; the rob in; to love their parents; to love ineir uou. let it bo a studied object of their domestic culture to give them warm hearts, ardent affections. Bind your fumily togother by those strong cords. You cannot make them too strong, lteligion is love; love to God, to man. Beeciieb Confesses.

The Free State Convention of Kansas which assembled to put in nomination a candidate for Congress and ft full State Ticket, and closed its labors on tho 30th ult., was marked by a greater d -grce of harmony than was an-ticipated. The resolutions adopted were signed by a Committee supposed to reflect dif-erent sentimonti.and passed through the Convention with only two dissenting voices. The question which'it was thought would form a bono of contention in tho deliberations of he Convention, was the much vexed quostion of the negro suffrage. Tho resolution, omlwdy- ing this question, as it passod, reads as follows : Mfreas, There are in different localities different interpretations of those portions of the Constitution pertaining to suffrage and schools; therefore, "lletolved, That at tho election upon the Constitution the voters of Kansas be requested to voto for or against negro suffrage; and for or acuinst separate schools for white and negro children, and if the majority of the votes cast be against negro suflrage, it shall oporate as instructions on tho first Legislature to submit to the people atonco an amendment of tho Constitution prohibiting negro suffrage; and if a majority of the votes cast bo in favor of separate schools, it shall oporate in like manner as instructions to tho first Legislature to submit an amendment providing for scp.v rat schools for whito and negro children, except in districts whero tho people, by general consent, shall allow the schools to be in com mon. This action is cortainly fair enough. The resolution, it will bo seen, concedes, by infer ence, that negroes are now voters; but then the question whether they shall remain voters is proposed to be submitted fairly and unequiv ocally to a voto of the people. The fact is the whole of tins hue and cry raised against the negro suffrage feature of the Leavonworth Con stitution is simply an attempt of Pro-Slavery- ism to cot up a new issue in the canvass. 1 no Free State men of Kansas, in their Nominating Convention, havo declared, as the above reso- ution indicates, that they are willing the ques tion shall bo decided by the votes of the people of the new State. SandutJcy Register. lvim'et. Millet is a rapid growing crop, requiring but a few weeks to mature in, and when sown on a light, warm, well prepared soil, will yield more hay per aero than the best timothy meadows. It may do sown1 during any lew-sure spell from tho middle of May to the last of June, though probably the best time to sow tho seed in the first good, moist season that occurs after the middle of May. Ono bushel of seed is sufficient for two acres. Xo attempt should be made to secu. from the same crop both seed and hay. When it is desired to raise seed, a half or two-thirds of tho abovo quantity of seed is sufficient to sow. wnen seen is tno opiect, it is mucn bettor to grow it in drills. For hay, it should be harvested while the seeds aro soft, and before but a small portion of the stem has turned yellow. In curing, it should be exposed to the sun only so long as is neccessary lor it to wilt, and expel the external moisture ; it should then bo put up in cocks until cured, which in good weather will require but a short time. Millet cut up and wet and sprinkled with a little corn meal or wheat shorts, makes good feed lor milch cows thoy not only thrive on it, but it will greatly increase the quantity of milk. We have no doubt that if the common millet was sown on tho prairies of Iowa, where the "Hungarian Grass," which is only a variety of millet, very nearly allied to tho kind under consideration, has mado such a stir among tho farmers, it would yield as abundantly, npd hay of as good a quality as tho Hungarian variety. Valley Farmer. The Yankee Pedlar. The importance of importing your own stock, if you are going into tho wool business is very emphatically enforced iu the following capital story: 'Some years ago. I was traveling on the eastern shore of Maryland, and stopped for tho night at the house of a gentleman named Jones. Ho was not at home but his wife received mo very politely, though I was in I ho capacity of a traveling merchant, a peripatetic vender of notions, vulgarly called a pedlar. She made a few purchases of articles useful in tho family, and might havo bought more, had not Mr. Junes returned unexpectedly and commenced abusing ine most roundly, and said ho didn't want any pedlars about his house. 1 gave hi in bick clnina in his own coin till hu cooled down, when I asked him what mado him mad at nil "gentlemen in my line of business." lie told ine: "A few months ago, a Yunkeo pedlar was about here soiling his tin ware and taking pay in anything ho could got. My neighbor lar-mer, Mr. Brown, had a very troublesome ram. One time ho jumped the fence and got into tho wheat, and another day into the corn and was always whoro ho had no business to be. Ono day just as tho farmer had got him out and tied him up, this pedlar came along, and wanted lo sell his ware." " Mr. Brown said he would sell him tho old ram and take his pay in tin. The pedlar took him up and offering him two dollars' worth of his truck for tho ugly old sheep. The farmer agreed, picked out his tin things; the pedlar hoisted tho ram, with legs tied, into his confounded old cart, and drove right along hero to my house, and had tho impudenceyes, the scoundrel had to tell me the ram bad" been imported from England by order of one of tho rich farmers, Jeffers, down the country, iinj ho ha I agreed to take it to him; it had cost $0iun hindin.'. and he was to havo $2f0 f.r it whon ho delivered it to Mr. Jellers, but he was so tired of having tho plaguy thin in his wagon that lie would tnke $100 for it the first chance be could get, I was quito anxious to improve uiy stock, and thought this an opportunity to buy an Imported fuil blood, as the rascal warranted it to bo, that I paid the fallow $jlUO, and he cut the strings and let the ram run. Sure enough he did run, full split right over the fence, and I after him, and my niggers come on in fifteen minutes my ram, niggers and I fe'ehed up in Brown's yard, whon I found I bad been sold as well as that rascally old sheep. Before I got bick, the pedlar had sold ten dollars' worth of wooden nutmegs and nonsense to my wife, and bad gone off to parts unknown. He nover came this way again; and if you are one of that sort you had better put up your traps and be moving." : "Finally I prevailed on him to let me stop till morning, and to accept a few Yankee Notions without fee or reward.

Some timoago on the Sabbath day, we wended our way to ono of our churches, instead of a sermon, heard an address on missions.

Is not the cause a very good onef" "Yes; but lam not able to contribute any thing." "Poll! I know better; you must give ft better reason." "Well, I owe so much. I must be just bo-fore I am generous." "But you owe God a larger dobt than any one else." . "That's truo parson, but then ho ain't a pushing mo all tho time, like the rest of my creditors."

TO THE PEOPLE OF OHIO. Republican State Convention. The delegates to the Republican Slate Convention for the nomination of State Ticket, and tho transaction of such other business as may be presented, will assemble in ,the City of Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, the 13th day of July next, at 10 o'clock A, M, Nominations will then be made for tho following officers : Ono Suprome Court Judge, Attorney General, Member of the Board of Public Works and Comptroller. Tho basis of representation in said Convention will be the vote given for Governor Chuso at the last annual election. Each county will bo entitled to one delegate fur every 600 votes so given, and each' fraction abovo half that number will also bo entitled to a dolegate. It is recommended that tho several County Conventions for the selection of delegates be held at the county seats of each county, on Saturday, the 3d of July, at two o'clock P. M. It is hoped that each county committee will immediately issue the call for the county convention, and if tho above suggestion is not adopted, that they will make such changes of time and place as they see proper. In the midst of tho great contest which is now so fiercoly waged by the slave power of the Nation, aided by the President and his party, against free labor and free institutions, it is perhaps needless to remind the people of Ohio of tho vast importance and vital character of the issue, and of the overwhelming necessity of concerted and vigorous action on the part of all who prelor freedom to slavery, and free to slave labor. The desperate and persistent attempt of the Administration to force upon tho people of Kansas a slave Constitution, the frauds, forgeries, murders, and uncounted villainies, which havo been perpetrated, and upheld, and attained in that teri-tory by tli3 present dominant party; the alarming encroachments that have been made upon the rights of the free States by the Drcd Scott decision; the monster error that Slavery is national, and extends to all the territories of tho Union, while freedom is sectional and can never exist in our territories, even if every Ireeman therein shall demand it, and every legislature enact it, and can only bo established by positive law, when they shall emerge from tho pupilage of Federal Government and control, and tho zealous support given to these heresies by the President end his party, all conspire to rouse the freemen of the frco North to a sense of the danger and degradation which must follow a tame submission to these encroachments. The base and cowardly desertion of our equal rights which is involved in the passage of the, English Swindle, by which Congress declares that 40,000 inhabitants may coine into the Union as an equal with Ohio if they will adopt a Slave Constitution, while if they re sist in prelerring to bo a J) rce State, ihcy shall waitoutside, and be governed by the ap pointees of the Slave Power, till they have more than double that population, admits of no excuse or apology, and must merit the stern condemnation of every patriot, and friend of even j ustice and equal rights. The English liill gives to the appointees ot tho president the entire control of the ballot boxes and all the machinery 0; the proposed vote in Kansas, on thequestionof the admission to the Union under the infamous Lecompton Constitution The bitter experience of tho past has taught tho world that no fraud is too monstrous; no villainy too wicked; no corruption too daring for the pliant instrument to despotism. For presuming to be fair and honest, we havo seen lleeder, Geary, Walker and Stanton, in rapid succession beheaded at the imperious com niand of the Slavs Power. That samo power still controls the destines of the Republic, with progress and plans unchanged, lot tho Freemen of Ohio are called upon to acquiesce in a measure of this character, ond to tamely submit to thio new and bitter insult and disgrace. Auded to all theso national evils, the legisla tion of the past winter in Ohio; tho principles of action announced, and the acts pertoi med. aro of such a character as to demand, as they will receive tho condemnation of tho voters and tax payers of the State. In view of all these causes, wo ask the froe- men of Ohio without regard to their former political associations, to unito with us in ad ministering such a storn rebuke to arrogant Slave Power as the empire Stato of tho fair and great West so justly demands. Let us then select our wisest, ablest, purest men as delegates; and let tho Gbasd Council ok the UKl'HESENTATIVES OK t RES LABOR, On the Bll nivcrsary of the passage of the glorious ordi nance of 1787, which dedicated tho soil of Ohio, and tho North West to freedom, and Irco institutions forover, bo such a demon stra tion as tho cause anuh times demand.

For tho purpose of co-operating with all who oppose the extension of slavery and the domination of the Slave Power, and who seek to extend and perpctuato tho blessings of Liberty, we have associated ourselves together under the title of tho National Republican Association, and adopt as the general basis of our action the following principles : 1. The Federal Government has no power over tho system of Slavery within the States; but within its own jurisdiction it has tho power, and ought to exert it, to secure life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness to all mon. 2. There should bo neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for the punishment of crime in any of tho Territories of the United States. 3. The people are the rightful source of all political power : and all officers should, as far as practicable, be chosen by direct vote of the people. 4. Candidates for political offices should be men of undoubted integrity and sobriety, and pledged to support the principles of this Platform by all lawful and constitutional means. 05" The old lady who behoves overr ca-latnity that happens to bersolf trial, and every one that happens to her frionds ft judgment, is not yet dead.

Florida his been badly treated. Tha volunteers have been disbanded, although it is satisfactorily proved that the grand total of tho enemy numbers full 32, including ut course) women and and children. This abandonment of the State in the face of such a foe, is without s precedent in the history of Indian wars, on the frontier. Hero is an opportunity for the expenditures of at least a million or two, annually, and there is no precedent, sines th days of Jackson, for the surrender of so promising an opening. Tbirty-two Indians, including the squaws and papooses, soma of the latter very savage, ought to be worth to Florida at least a million and a half, which ii estimating them at less than $50,000, head, an unreasonable low figure considering th price at which Indians have generally, uvea exterminated and the country pacified. It strikes us that thia abandonment of Fiords is matter that ought to be brought before the southern Convention: or it might M still belter for Florida to get up a convention of her own and threaten to secede from th Union, in case her reasonable demand should not lo be complied with.
