Freedom.
Oh, Freedom, thou art not as poets dream,
A fair young girl, with light and delicate lim!is.
And wavy tresses, gushing from the cap.
With which the lloitt m musters crowned his slave
When he struck off his gyves.    A b^avd-'d man.
Armed to the teeth, art thou.   One mailed hand
Clasps tha broad shield, and one the Hashing sword.
Thy brow, glorious in beauty though it be,
Is scarred with tokens of old wars —
Thy massive limbs are Btrong with struggling.
—Bryant.

A lovesick young pair who had only a dollar,
To pay the priest for a conjugal collar,
Were told by the parson—"Hia regular fee,
For marrying people, was always a V ;"
"Nay. then," quoth the swain, "good parson, now
Dome !
A dollar. I'm sure, ought to marry us some ;
'Tisall I have got; you cau take it., you know,
And marry as far as the money will go!"'

[From tli-' N. Y. KvcnmLj Post  ]
Degeneracy of style is a growing evil
the present race of literary men.   Fastidiousnef
in composition may be carried to an extreme,  and   \^
It  them becomes a crave f-i-ilt ■ wt cnaelcss-wn-T.1
la a much greater fault, because it leads to more
serious consequences.    We have occasionally published communications from correspondents pointing out the use of words that are not English, as
well as the misuse of words that are English, in
the belief that well-considered strictures on those
(subjects will tend to induce a reformation of thej
designated error?.   Experience, however, shows!
that the remedy is very slow in its operation,
For example, we have ot urselvos. or through
our correspondents, shown that predicate does not
mean to found ; that couple is not the synonym
of two ; that demean does not men debase; that
paraphernalia does not mean ornaments or appendages generally; that stand point does not
mean a point of view ; that l'ovcr his signature'-
is a silly attempt at accuracy ; that either atul
neither can properly be applied to but two objects; that the * often added to backward, forward, afterward, toward, &c, is a vulgarism;
that "our mutual friend'' is ten times more a vulgarism ; that beside should never be used as an
adverb ; that the phrase *' Mr. White and lady "
is a very coarse Americanism ; that addition of
ess to such words as director, manager, waiter,
should be proscribed by all who abhor ao affectation of prettines* and precision ; and so forth,
and so forth and so forth. Yet we do not find that
these and many kindred nuisances are perceptibly
abated. Perhaps they never will be abated, although it remains a mystery to us how any man
of cultivation, after seeing one of his inadvertencies thai pointed out, can persist in his error.
We have iu our mind, at this moment, another word that is constantly misused, eveu by goo
writers; namely dilapidate. This word com.
directly from thiiLitiu dilapido, that being i
compound of di and lapido ; alio*, it seems Strang
that any one can know even so much of the origin of the word aud yet misapprehend its exact
and restricted sicni'lr-j-n™. The Latin prefix dt is
equivalent to the English prefix de or dis, a"
cover, discover ; populate, depopulate ; and thus
lapido is to stone, and dilapido to unstone, or de-
stone. The meaning, therefore, of dilapidate i*
exactly and exclusively the falling down or throw
ing down of something—a wall, or a building, o
any kind—made of stone. Anything com-tru;
ted or made of tn'iteri ils other than sione, ma;
be destroyed, or injured, or decayed, but it catinoi
be dilapidated. For instance, a dilapidated boot
iBone of the absurdities involved in the misuse of
this word; atul one might as well speak of employing a lapidary to mend his boot, as of his
dilapidated boot.
Again consequence is now perpetually used as
the synonyme of importance, although there is
little, if anything, in common between the two
words. Consequence signifies strictly sequences,
things that follow; importance means things of
moment, without auy reference to following.—
The familiar phrase, "it's of no consequence," is
always wrong. And, again, the verb leave is coming into constant use as au intransitive verb, as:
" Brown was ad»ised to leave, instantly." " White
left yesterday," " I shall leave to-morrow," &c.
The word reason is frequently complicated with
because, as, " the reason for this is, because John "
did so and so, instead of that John did so and so.
Now, we do aot deny tbat there is an abund
ance of precedent for the above mentioned and
many similar errors; and we admit that, under
certain reservations, the usage of good writers is
the common law of language. Hut we make ■■■
distinction between innovations lhat are founder'
on philological principles, or are introduced t<
supply the necessities ofa language, on the one
haud; and, on the other, those that originate in
ignorance, or misapprehension, and aro officiously
thrust into places already better occupied by
legitimate words. We have manv instances in
English of secondary meanings which have superceded primary significations, by the rule of necessity. For example esteem, respect, regard, con
sideration, which originally all had a transitive
u^e as verbs, and as such were nearly synonymous,
have now, a>i nouns, an intransitive sense which
tacitly includes something "'understood," and that
understood something renders them also nearly
synonymous. But itis to be observed that the
language wanted those words in their present sec-
oncUry signification, because the language bad no
primary word that occupied their place; whereas
the words couple, demean, predicate. Ac. as misused, are not only perverted from their true signification but are obtruded into places not Vacant
and where they are not wanted.
Our conclusion ia, that while innovations may
be permitted in those cases where the necessities
of the language require them, they should be re
etricted to such necessity, and the burden of proving the necessity should test on him who introduces them.
Tbe columns of a daily newspaper are not tlie
arena we would choose for the practice of accurate writinc, and there, il anywhere, inaccuracies
are excusable ; nor. perhaps, are such columns
the mo»t fitting place for philological criticisms,
because people read -'the papers'" for Lhe news rather than for literature ; but the thing te io om
minds, and we have no leisure to seek another me-

On the strength of these the degree was granted. Thi

Sick Head Achea and Want of Appetite.
These feelings whieh so sadden ns, most frequently
arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed eer-

thus disordering tbe liver and stomach. These organs
must be regulated if you wish to be well. The PHlf, «
taken according to the printed instructions, will quickly
restore a healthy action to both liver nnd stomach,
whence follow as a natural consequence, a good appetite
and a clear head. In the Fast and West Indies.scarcely
any other medicine is used for these disorders.

In all diseasesaffecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water, or whether they be afflicted witb stone or gravel, or witb aches and pains set-

PIIOGt It E S S   OF   M a n.
An Essay, delivered by Miss R. A. Pkarson, before
lhe Educational Convention of San Bernardino
County, on Thursday evening, March 1st. I860.
It may give  to some a   novel   idea  lo   attach a
preface to a composition, but I deem it requisite
at the present time, to  answer as an apology for
the awkward attempt I shall make iu the endeavor
to elucidate my tmbject.
It may seem presumptuous in me, to read au
essay ot uiy own composition in the presence o1'
so many, who aro my superiors in every tranch of
education, and cpectally ou this subject, which so
many emineut men have written upon, that I feel
insignificant in attempting to give my unrefined
ideas on a subject ao extensive in its nature; but
as it was one among several others selected hy tue
Superintendent for the Teachers.I have attempted
to write a few tines, though I know not that I can
give any new views upon the suhji-ct; therefore,
craving your indulgence. I shall proceed.
Man is the noblest of God's works! yet, unlike
any other creature on earth, is. in infancy, without
knowledge. The great nud superior powers of the
mind, for the time being, lie dormant; but the
All-wise Being has lelt open numerous ways for
his communication with the world, and spread
out belore him a great universe, tilled wilh rich
mines of truth and wisdom, tor his derelopeiucnt-
As the child advances in life, the eerra of his
existence expands. He searches into the hidden
springs of nature, eager to explore and investigate the deep mysteries, by which he is surrouuded.
Ever and anon be stops to inquire the reason of
this, and the cause of that, but an infinite spirit
within teaches him to look aloft, for strength and
increase of wisdom. Manhood dawns upou him.
atul tie goes lorin to investigate iue mu«cu uijn-
teries of the great and beautiful works of Nature
God hag given hira the intellect and ability, to
carry the vast and mighty works of Art and Science to perfection ; aud what progress has been
made? Look at the scene of a few years ago, and
mark the change ;—the numerous masts of vessels,
mingling with lhe lofty spires and domes of our
great siaport cities ; lbe once uncultivated forests
now wave in golden grain, and yield abundance
I'or his support; and the wild regions that were
once inhabited by the "Red Man." are now blooming in beautiful cities reared by the skillful hand
Of man.
But a few years ago, man by his kuowledge, invented machinery to run by the mighty power of
steam, and by its practical use the great Ocean ia
traversed from one port to another, with ease and
speed ; also the magnetic telegraph, by which we
have news from all parts of the Uuion. with the
speed of lightning ; and the mariner's compass,
by which the ship in guided across the trackless
ocean; and the telescope, through which we are
enabled to view the planets, high in the heavens.
Man is ever progressing, and prying into hidden
mysteries, eager to develope something new and
beautiful.
Let the individual who has been trained uuder
proper instruction***, start out on the journey of
Iiie to fulfill his destiny, and how ardently he pur-
sues his way ; misfortunes may follow hia loot-
steps, yet be falters not, but linn and undaunted
he braves the iuiy of the storm, and stands erect
with a fearless  heart.    Storms of adversity   muy
burl their blasting weapons upon him, clouds
darken liis pathway, and for awhile Btay hiu progress, but be despairs not,—he is uot satistj'-d to
,1','°"tofCorl>I,ti sip from the clear,  intellectual  stream ol Unowl-
Public,that   edge, but eagerly strives to drink from lbe fooo-
the old [ tain head. It is natural lor him to thirst alter that
ing eye the great Ocean of Fternity, whose bimnd-
less expanse is hurely touched."
Again, man moulds the clay, and by his art,
erects gi'uat edilie.i-sof h'-anly and uselulue^s. Substances rough and dingy are dug from the bowels
of the earth, and by mechanism arc formed into
utensils of power, lorce aud usefulness. The Geologist steps onward, searching after natural substances, and investigating their true origin. He
ver prying into the obscure springs of nature.
seeking lor something which has nevei been discovered, tliat he might exultantly lilt it from its
abstruse abode, and number it among the many
other ourioaltiSB of bis ^cabinet. The Botanist
still lingers at the shrine of kuowledge, lo catch
another idea of the beautiful world of flowers;
each succeeding day finds liim progressing in his
wmk of investigation. Through the teles-cope, the
Astrononii'r views in the heavens wisdom, blended
with sublime beiuity and loveliness, lie looks with
wonder and awe. yet lie stops not—his motto is,
pi*«er*naBl()n it,. ™p«RiireH the henvenlv bodies,
learns their motions in their orbits, as they move
on iu their destined course, and gathers choice
wisdom Irom the great dome above. Yet he is enveloped in clouds of mysteries, that ages upon ages
cannot fathom. The Philosopher enters his woik
of iiifcs'.igation of things both natural and moral.
He explain* and philosophizes on things great and
small, lie seizes lhe fiery lightnings amid the
fluctuating elements ol nature, and brings them
harmless to his feet ; and with his piercing eye
penetrates tlie secrets of the deep and trackless
ocean ; and by his untiring zeal of assiduity lias
explored tlie dark and mysterious caverns ol lhe
earth, ever bringing to light something new and
beautiful, which would have remained in oli.-cu-
rity, until the all-destroying band ol Time should
have claimed them for his own, had not man by
his progress revealed them.
Man in his advancement may be compared to a
stream,—at its •-ource it is insignificant, and apparently worthless, running on in its playful meandering course: but as it progresses, it widens,
and becomes a large river, bearing on ils bosom
the mighty commerce of nations, and finally emptying its waters into the great ocean.
Thus it is with man, still achieving knowledge
in the great "school of progress." His motto is
progression, aud hy his knowledge and investigation become a new being ; his soul is transformed
into beauly and loveliness, which strongly attaches him to the God oT all Perfection. He seeks
something higher than this world's treasures;
like the majestic Alps, whose snow capped peaks
tower high in the heavens,—or like the Condor,
in its lolly [light, soars above tbe things ot earth'
so it is with the lestlcss spirit of man, seeking to
commune with the ethereal vault above.
His highest acquisition is to gain a store
of knowledge that shall tit him for a moro glorious and lasting future,—that pence in his bosom,
the world can neither gins nor take away,-—con-
and unshaken by distrust. 0 ! that man's unquenchable thirst for knowledge was satisfied
from the fountain-head ol wisdom ! but he thirsts-
he drinks—and yet is ever dry.
"Knowledge is power," and man ia ever improving and piogrcssing in its boundless extremities, till he passes tho narrow confines of death,
and enters the bright realms of everlasting felicity. There ihe great seals of truth shall be broken, and the secrets of wisdom shall beam their
glorious rays on the eager soul, to develope and
expand, from everlasting to everlasting.

Let us. then, be up aud doing,

Political View* Ofan OM !Slngcr—WhO MoracC
Grerir nun",s win be the CnnriutaUH or tn*
Two Parties.
Daybxi'ort, la., Jan. 29,1860.
I have been looking through and taking notes
in ench of the States northwest of the Ohio, Min-
esota excepted, during the past fortnight; and,
Ihough I seldom place predictions on record, 1
make one which I would not have credited
when I left New York, I predict that Stephen A.
Douglas will be nominated for President at
Charleston nest April, and lhat most of the slnva
States will give him their Electoral votes. Le(
these foreshadowings be noted aud compared with
tbe events. *•*»*•
I see, also, that the Anti-Douglas Eide will have
the advantage in the Convention, first in settling
the contested seatB, then in framing lhe platform.
tin I, iifhT making allowance for these makeweights, I still hold the Little Giant's nomination
to beall but inevitable, because
I. A National Convention alwavs nominates to-
win. It is largely made up of men who would
like to be Cabinet Minislcrs.jAmbassadors, Collectors, Marshals, or at least Postmasters. Thetis'
quite well understand thitif they obtain what
they aspire to, it ia essential tbat they should nom--
inate a ticket that can be elected. National Conventions are often blind to transceudent merit,
rarely or never to superior strength.
IL Mr. Douglas is still in the eyes of tbe Dem-
ociatic masses in tbe free States, tbe champion
aud embodiment of the principles of Popular Sovereignty by which they were reconciled to the repudiation of the Missouri Compact. That repudiation was never relished by them per se; nor
did its manifest object commend it to their approbation. But the suggestion that each separate
community, whether termed State or Territory,
ihottld be at liberty to manage aud dispose of ils
own negroes—to have slavery or noi to have it,
as it should see fit—was and is popular with the
Western Democracy. And having long recognized Mr. Douglas as the author expounder and
champion of that doctrine, (hey will noi be disposed to scrutinize very nicely the platform if he
is placed conspicuously thereon. With Mr. Douglas as their candidate the Democracy will contest
every Northwestern State with energy, and most
of them with confidence. They will uot consider
one of them absolutely lost until its popular votes
for President shall have been cast and counted.
III. But should Mr. Douglas be defeated at
Charleston, the very blindest mole will understand that the principle wherewith his name ia
identified, is ignored and cashiered—that the National Democracy no longer holds American citizens located in a Territory, equally with those in
a State, at liberty to legalize and establish or to
exclude and forbid slavery within their respective
limits. Iu that caBe, the stereotyped Democratic
question of lS54-'5-'G, "Wby should not American
citizens ina Territory have equal rights as to
ofa State?" will be lurueil' against' tn'eiii with"
fearful effect. Mr. Douglas may work—as he
doubtless will work—desperately for any candidate who may be nominated at Charleston, no
matter ou what platform ; but ho cannot secure
for a hearty Lecomptouite one electoral vote In alt
the northwest.
IV. Through all its mutntions, Mr. Douglas has
hitherto stood by the principle of Free Homo-
steads, or the grant of quarter r.ectious of the
public lands to actual settlers without charge.—
That principle—always stronger in the free West
than any party—has gained immensely in power
to control votes from the pecuniary disasters of
the last three years. Thousands who were grabbing all the land within sight of their log cabins
a few years since, and fondly expecting to become
speedily rich by land speculation, bave suddenly
awaked to a realization of the fact that their land
grubbing has ruined them, aud that they have a
hard chance before them of obtaining even a livelihood. To these, aud to lens of thousands beside, the Homestead bill fta'mfl of more consequence than all other topics of political contro-
veisy. No other Democratic statesman than Douglas, unless it be Andrew Johnson, of Ten0-3*866,
could hope for their support. Mr. Joe Lane's ugly
reeord last winter renders him conspicuously unavailable.    Dr.   Douglas,  on Ihis question, could

([^"Residence—At   .Mr. Eaton's  house,  on  the
hill, in front ofthe Bella Union Hotel. de31
iu the great "school of progress." As he advances
iu age, he progresses iu knowledge. He views the
grandeur and beauty ol tbe Universe, amid the
countless manifestations of God's power and wisdom;—he ascends high mountains, views alar olf
the ocean, whnse briny waters dash ugninst the
rocky ttaee; gsxzte on ihe craggy precipices ol
theii black indented sides, or on the great dome
above, ever developing something new and beautiful iu the mighty works of progress.
He  ia  solicitous  at the  shriuu  ol kuowledge,
and persevetingly strives to obtain  it.   His eye
pierces,   and   looks   again,
hearkens again ;—his -"oui
ing up imperishable flowers that bloom in immortality.
A1) be climbs the mgged "llill of Science," he
finds many slippery by-paths, all of which are
watered by the clear streams of knowledge, lhat
flow from ihe fountain-head of wisdom. He stops,
ever aud anon, to drink from the streams as they
flow onward, but they do not quench his thirst ;
he ascends slill higher to drink from om
pure ; yet he thirsts for om
reached, and thus labors faithfully and zealously
until the sands ot life are run, and he exclaims,
in the language of immortal Newton, ''standing
on the shore of knowledge, viewing with a long-
almost enclostd by the North fork of Eel ri'
whieh bet" makes A horseshoe bend, aud includes
the valley in the bend. The centre of the valley
is prairie land ; along the hanks of the river there
is green growth uf black oak timber, valuable fer
fence and building purposes.
Part of this valley Q8i beeu occupied for several
years by the Nome Cult larm, for lhe supply of
the Nome L-.iekee Indian Reservation. Outside
of the limits ol this lann there are about twenty-
made improvements. Of these settlers perhaps
oi*ef,oii--t'ii;--■. married, aad the remainder, or most
of them, live wi*h squaws. Nearly two years ago
(He Department of the Interior Instructed Indian
Agent Henley to issue a proclamation lo warn the
settlers iigaitisi making impi "'--* --'
ley, and iv ' *" J~
    «D(;nls in that val
lected to do so, but when MoDuffle
he issued the proclamation iu Au-
his   ear hears, aud

The Reserve to he laid out wiil contain twenty-
five thousand six hundred mid lifty-four acres, and
will include not only the low land of lhe valley,
but all ils basin ; (hin is all the land draining ino
tlio valley, up to tbe summit ol the adjoining hills.
The Surveyor-General has directed Mr. A. J.
Hatch to make Llie survey, and in a short, lime the
the new Reservation wiil be officially set apart—
IL will probably be tin* largest Reservation in the
State, and certainly the richest in agricultural capabilities.    We have not heard what name will be
jivea to it.—Alta.

V. The minute division of his adversaries gives
Douglas a great advantage in the straggle. Out
of some six hundred votes iu tbe convention, over
two hundred will at all events be thrown for him
ou lhe first ballot, while the opposing vote will
be divided between Hunter, Wise, Guthrie, A.
Johnson, Breckinridge, Jeff. Davis, Stephens,
Cobb, &c. - Dr. Douglas' plurality at the start
must be very large, and this cannot f.iil to tell on
tne sueeeeomg DanotB.
That the events and der elopements of lhe next
teu weeks muy change all this, I fully understand;
but, If mutters move along aatbey are now going,
Mr. Douglas' nomination at Charleston "seems
hardly avoidable.
Ab to the Republicans of the North-west, tho
great mass of their delegates will go to Chicago
determined to make the strongest possible ticket,
without regard to personal claims and aspirations,
I think the largest number of them would prefer
Governor Sewjud, should it appear that he can
carry the States which are to decide the contest j
but there are many who desire to see Afraham
Lincoln's nnme on their national ticket, nnd none
who do not place lhe triumph of their principles
lar above any personal consideration. The merits
of Bates, Daj ton, McLean, Cameron, Chase,
Banks, Bead and others, are freely canvassed ; and
I bave heard good men suggest that alter tho
ground bus been fairly gOBS over, il will be found
that Fremont and Dayton are stronger with tho
masses than any new combination that can he pre-
ented. All are anxious that the ticket should be
strong in personal character and in devotion to
OUI oberlelwd principles; and any Republican
ticket thnt i. -ii will be ■ [il;n;s.a.;l ie:il I y supported by a strong majority of the voters ol the Nortli
west againnt Douglas; und by an overwhelming
;ini"ij|(li.;;,in:e again I any oilier po? ibl iminee
al Charleston,   Should that nominee standano*
ijuivocally upon Mr. Buchanan's platloim, his
vote in the North went will hardly be wortb
counting.; H. G.
