FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1854
Legislative.
The Legislature ‘‘makes haste slowly” in or
ganizing permanently. It will be seen by our
reports, that the House yesterday morning
perfected its temporary organization merely,
and adjourned. Previous to doing any other
business, the House—very properly, and at the
Buggcstion of its temporary presiding officer—
cut down its number of sworn members to the
legal complement.
V The Council permanently organized in the
afternoon—electing the caucus nominees with
great unanimity.
Tue Fox Du Lac Mixixg Company.—As will
be seen by the advertisement in to-day's paper,
this Company has completed an organization
under the general law of Wisconsin, in relation
to corporations. From what we learn on the
subject this Mining Company has oue of the
best, if not the best, locations to commence
work upon on the south shore of Lake Supe
rior, having two distiuct and well defined veins,
with perfect walls, bearing native copper, trace
able across the whole tract of their location.
Ihe main rock is trap, of the gray amygda
loidal character, so well known as being the
best copper-bearing rock on the Lake.
The) Baldwin School. —ln consequence of
the seriously impaired health of the Principal
of this Institution, Miss A. M. Paul, she lias
been compelled to withdraw her connection
with it. We learn, however, that iu a few
days one of the Trustees will visit the East to
procure a Principal and to make arrangements
for the enlarged usefulness ot the School. For
the present tlie school will be conducted by
two female teachers, under the special super
vision of Dr. It. 11. Ewing, who has been trans
ferred from the Academic department of the
College of St. Paul. The College department,
until spring, will be in the charge of Mr. 11.
Hayes, a graduate of Bowdoin College. The
School will be opened on Monday, Jauuary 8,
ISao. Pupils are requested to present them
selves, if possible, on the first day of the terra.
“She Always Made Home Happy.”
Such was the brief but impressive sentence
which a friend wished us to add to an obituary
notice of one “ who had gone before.”
What better tribute could be offered to the
memory of the loved and lost ? Eloquence,
with her loftiest eulogy—poesy with her most
thrilling dirge, could afford nothing so sweet,
so touching. 60 suggestive of the virtues of the
dead, as those simple words—“ She always
made home happy” ■
Hear this, mothers, wives aud daughters, and
think ot your own duty. How many could
have the same said of them with truthfulness
and sincerity ? Ask that woman whose splen
did residence attracts the gaze of every passer
by. Thousands have been lavished on these
imposing walls, long colonnades and high, arch-
V( 1 windows; and now then you obtain a
glimpse of costly hangings, rich carpets and
tall mirrors, which dazzle with their magnifi
cence. Often you pause a moment, and look
wistfully in through the half-closed blinds and
murmur to yourself asyou pass on : “ I should
think the possessor of all this miirht eniov
life.” b J :
But you are sadly mistaken. The dove of
Peace never folds her white wings by that fire
side : the gentle spirit of content never sheds
her holy influence there. The master of the |
mansion, though yet in his prime, seems prema
turely old ; there is an expression of habitual
suffering around his firmly compressed lip. and
his broad brow bears many a trace of care.
Ah ! there is a vulture at his heart, which like
the hero of the olden story, he would fain con
ceal. Ten years ago he married a beautiful
girl, with a thousand beautiful visions of do
mestic quietude and bliss. But his dreams
have faded ; the rosy hue of romance is lost in
the eold. gray dawn of a bitter reality.
His wife presides over his household with
surpassing gracefulness; she is the idol ofsoci
ty and a leader of fashion. She goes and comes
through those spacious halls, dressed in gar
ments that might befit a queen ; she gives bril
liant dinners, where 6he shines the brightest
star, and parties, which everybody pronounces
charming. But she is never the kind, devoted
companion—the loving, trusting helpmate,
sharing every joy and sorrow, cheering him
when be desponds, and counselling in trials
and perplexities with winning delicacy and
tenderness. In short, she never makes home
happy. But it is not alone to the frivolous that
our subject speaks the language of reproof and
instruction ; there are others to whom it may
be applied with equal force. Ask the would
be reformer of the nineteenth century, whose
loftiest aim is to step beyond her appropriate
sphere, how she performs her duty iu this re
spect. She is often seen in the debating hall
and lecture room, where strife and confusion
prevail. Her voice is heard ringing out in de
fence of the rights of her sex ; she allows her
name to be bandied about, linked with the
coarsest epithets ; she takes long and tedious
journeys in behalf of the cause she has espoused
You may hear her talk enthusiastically of all
that is pure and elevating in woman's mission,
and sublime in her destiny. Indeed she ap
pears ready to suffer any hardship or privation
if she can only aid in the glorious work of re
deeming oppressed females from their terrible
thraldom.
But you do not find her the “ bright, presid
ing genius of home.” Her smile and cheerful
welcome do not greet her husband when he re
turns from his daily toil; her hands do not
draw his arm-chair to that favorite nook ; her
society does not charm away his weariness and
make him forget his cares. When he is ill, she
is seldom near to smooth his pillow, or bathe
his favored cheek, or whisper of hope and con
eolation.
Can it be, that she, with all her pretended re
gard for the best interests of humanity, even
realizes her own responsibility? Alas! we
fear not.
Ask the peevish, complaining wife, if she has
ever thought seriously of this matter. What a
neat, cosy little cottage hers is! How many
comforts she has. Her two bold-looking boys
and their fair sister are as beautiful a trio of
children as ever graced one household ; her
husbaud is kind and indulgent, but her fretful
disposition will not allow her a moment's tran
quillity. She is in perpetual anxiety ; some
times it is one thing, and again another, that
causes inquietude, but she is never at rest.
The children yearn forUie sunshine, which they
sec in the homes of their playmate?, and invent
all kinds of excuses to get away from the trou
bles which haunt their mother. They have al
ready learned that pleasure cannot be found
under their own roof-tree, and the gambling
hall, the theatre, and the club-room, hold out
temptations, which they can scarcely resist.
Aye. think of these solemn considerations and
be wise.
“ She always made home happy.’’ What
more fitting inscription can be engraven on the
tombstone of the estimable woman of which this
was said? It will stand, perchance, in some
church yard, where birds warble and flowers
open their starry eyes, all unmindful of the si
lent sleepers below. Other monumental tab
lets will rise around it, bearing the high-sound
ing epitaph, but nothing there can speak a
sweeter lesson than the brief sentence, “ She al
ways made home happy.”

Matters and Thing* at the National Capitol.
Washington, Dec. 22, 1854.
Mkssrs. Editors :—Washington i&,jnstatthis
period—the ere of the holidays—desperately
dull. Both Houses have adjourned over till
Tuesday. Many of the members have left;
some—those who live conveniently—gone
home ; others, to the different cities to spend
their Christmas, i don't know, but this, ad
journing over three days, is well! I like the
custom ; for, even with those who pay little
heed to the day, as the day of the Nativity, it
is a day of social meeting among friends and
relatives—a day for the gathering together of
families—a domestic day, promotive of a do
mestic feeling; that feeling which chastens the
soul and throws a softened shadow over the
asperites of the outer world. Even in this re
spect, it is a holy day ; lovely in the holy calm
and sanctified sentiments to which its observ
ance, in any form, gives birth.
During the present week, there has been a
question before the Senate, in which your peo
ple. at one time, felt a deep interest. This
question has arisen upon the proposition to es
tablish a Commission or Court for the adjust-
ment of claims against the United States, in
the bands of citizens. Mr. Clayton, of Del., a
sound and able lawyer, upon the subject of the
tenure of the officers composing this Commis
sion or Court, took the position, that the tribu
nal-call it by what name you please—was a
judicial tribunal, and that the tenure could not
be limited —that its officers would hold their
offices during life or good behavior, and that
Congress had no power to create a judiciary of
limited tenure. Mr. Clayton said, referring to
the article of the Constitution respecting the
establishment of a judiciary, that such an idea
as a judiciary with limited tenure, never en
tered into the contemplation of the framers of
that article ; nor, at that day, had such an
idea entered info the contemplation of any rea
sonable man. He said that the fathers of the
constitution had always before their minds one
great and fundamental principle—that the
Government was composed of three distinct
branches ; and their greatest anxiety was, to
make these three great arms of power, entire
ly independent of each other.
In this he is indubitably right; and during
some of your quarrels in the Territory, I often
wondered, that any lawyer, familiar with the
constitution and the great principle referred to
by the Senator from Del., would claim for the
President the right of removing your Judges.—
For, not only had he no right to remove, not
withstanding the opinion of his learned Attor
ney General, and subsequently the resolution
of the Senate, sayingithat he had, but Congress
had ne right or power to limit their term of
office ; and had they seen proper to test the
question, there is no donbt but they might yet
hold their places upon the Bench.
But, gentlemen, this is an nge of mutation j
and change ! By the bye, speaking of change, j
reminds me of a most remarkable one that has !
taken place in your Territory. lam credibly i
informed, that 11. 11. Sibley, your old Delegate
here, and Gov. Gormon, are not only intimate,
but bosom friends. Can this be possible?— 1
Can such changes take place in the hu- 1
man mind—the human feelings ? Are they the
mere things of the will ? Why gentlemen, in
Nov. or Dec. 1853, Mr. Sibley was in this city
(to use a vulgar expression) “moving heaven
and earth'’ to procure Gov. Gorman's remov
al, and succeed him in office. Is it possible,
that this was not known in your Territory?—
Why, lie preferred formal charges and laid
them before the President. His denunciations
of Gov. Gorman were unmeasured ; and to ev
ery one whom he met, high and low, Senators
and Representatives,President and Ministers,
he used that, of all other weapons, the last to
be overlooked, forgotton or forgiven by a man
of any feeling or pride, ridicule ! In street or
in parlor, in bar-room and in barber shop, in
Senate Chamber and Hall of the House, he
abused him, as man has rarely been abused;
and publicly proclaimed it, as a notorious fact
in Minnesota, that Gov. Gorman was wholly
and totally unworthy of belief. Yet, I am as
sured, that after all this, they arc now confi
dants—bosom companions! The fact, that Mr.
Sibley used his whole influence to effect Gov.
Gorman's removal, and his reputation as a man
o? truth and confidence, is susceptible of proof,
and at that time, he, (Sibley) was not without
some influence here. But here again is anoth
er evidence of “change.” When ho was here a
few weeks ago, his principal friend was his
barber (so says the barber,) and he now alludes
to him with an affectionate melancholy that
is truly pitiful to behold. lie says that his
friend is a very great man and ought to be
President; and that the .reason why he is less
influential than he was, and has fewer friends,
is, because fqw men appreciate him. The bar
ber docs!
Since the news of the decision of your Su
preme Court, in the M. and N. W. R. R. case
reached here, there has been a good deal of
fluttering among the friends of the opponents
of the Company in your Territory. They have
become desperate, and declare that, even if
the Supreme Court of the U. S. afiirm the judg
ment of your Court, which they think very
probable, the Company never can obtain the
title to the lands; that the Government will
withhold it, and that its officers cannot be com
pelled to issue patents for the lands granted.
They go further, and say, (wise men, and hon
est, are they !) that Congress will step in and
prevent the execution of the grant, in defiance
of the Supreme Court and its decrees ; that it
has been done in other cases and will be done in
this. But to what‘-other cases” they have ref
erence, unless to the Wheeling Bridge Case,
I cannot imagine ; and they will find a mater
ial difference between this Grant and that
Bridge. But these meu, from this declaration,
evince their true characters—that they are
unscrupulous revolutionists, and would, not
only imperil, but sacrifice the weal of the Fed
eral Government itself, to effect their selfish
ends. They thus show the extent to which
they would not hesitate to go—their willing
ness and readiness to defeat the objects of the
constitution, by arraying themselves and Con-
gress in hostile opposition to its greatest safe
guard—the Supreme Court of the United States!
Let the people look at this, and reflect; and
then say if they will countenance such men in
their infernal designs.
The only remaining bill, introduced by your
most worthy Delegate at the last session of the
present Congress, has become a law. On the
19th, it received the President’s approval; and
beford many months,by virtue of its provisions,
the last remnant of the Chippewa title, in your
Territory will be extinguished ; thus throwing
open to your energetic people an extent of ter
ritory, unequalled in value aud importance by
any yet acquired from this people. This Act,
a copy of which I enclose yon, is also impor
tant in another particular. It provides a
scheme for the domestication and civilization
of this wretched people. By the way, a ru
mor has reached here, that Hole-ln-thc-Day—
the head chief of the Chippewas is dead. Is this
true * [-Vo.— Eds.]
Among other things of some interest, there
has been some hard sparring both in the Sen
ate and House, on the subject of “Know Noth
iugism.” It is said that there is a majority in
the House, strongly impregnated with this or
der ; but this is almost incredible ; yet, when
wc see the triumph it is obtaining East, West
North and South, it may be true. So strong is
the American feeling in the staid and uncon
querable Old Dominion, that his friends already
concede that Mr. Wise will be defeated for Gov
ernor. The Pretidcntial question is little agi
tated, and we “know nothing ” about who will
be candidates. One tbing is certain : there
are plenty of aspirants, who are willing to be
called any thing, to receive a nomination. God
speed Minnesota? Yours, Mohawk.
Slavery Eternal.— lt is hallucination to sup
pose that we are ever going to get rid of Afri
can Slavery, or that it will be desirable to do
so. It is a thing that we can not do without,
that is righteous, profitable and permanent,and
that belongs to southern society as inherently
and durably as the white race itself. Y'ca, the
white race will itself emigrate from southern
States to Africa, California, or Polynesia,soon
er than the African. Let ns make up our
minds, iherefore, to put up with and make the
most of the institution. Let us not bother our
brains about what Providence intends to do
with our negroes in the distant future, but glo
ry in and profit to the utmost by what he has
done for him in transplanting him here and set
ting him to work upon our plantations. Let
the politicians and planters of the south, while
encouraging the “Baptists and Methodists/’
and other denominations, have a less number
of votes, in christianizing the negroes, keep
their slaves at hard work, under strict disci-
pliue, out of idleness and mischief, while they
live and when they come to die, instead of
sending them off to Africa or manumitting
them to a life of “freedom,” licentiousness and
nuisance, will them over to their children or
direct them to be sold where they will be made
to work hard,and be of service to their masters
and to the country.
True philanthropy to the negro begins like
charity at home, and if southern men w'ould
act as if the canopy of heaven were inscribed
with a covenant in letters of tire that the ne
gro is here and here forever, is our property
and ours forever, is never to be emancipated,
is to be kept hard at work, and in rigid subjec
tion ail his days, and is never to go to Africa,
to Pelynesia or to Yankee Land, far worse
than either, they would accomplish more good
in five years than they boast the institution it
self to have accomplished in two centuries.and
cut up by the roots a sort of evils and fallacies
that threaten to drive the white race wander
ing in the western wilderness sooner than Cuf
feo will go to preach the gospel in Guinea.—

From Thompson’s Bank Note Reporter, Dec. 25.
The condition of the Money Market has not
changed materially since last week. Money is
more abundant, and the amount of unemployed
capital held by Banks and individuals, is ac
cumulating. Nothing is wanting but confi
dence to make money easy. Specie shipments
have entirely ceased ; the imports of foreign
goods are falling off every week, and the li
quidation of indebtedness at home and abroad
is going on rapidly. Our banks are in a very
strong position, and an expansion of a million
of dollars could be made with safety. We think
that in New York, and in all the large cities,
we have seen the worst. There will undoubt
edly be more failures in different sections of
the country, and it will require months to re
move the feeling of distrust that is now so prev
alent ; but the danger of a general commercial
crash is, in our opinion, over.
Foreign Exchange is heavy, and rates arc so
low that specie can be imported at a profit.
Bankers arc asking 108 to 108$ for sterling,
buf good commercial bills arc in the market,
without finding purchasers, at over 10G to 107
per cent. The supply of cotton is not large ;
low' water and low prices have prevented as
large an amount as usual coming forward.
In Uncurrcnt Money the business has fallen
off considerably. The public is recovering
from the fright caused by Indiana Bank
failures, and there is not so much dispo
sition to run to the brokers with everything
that docs not happen to be bankable. Curren
cy is in more demand, and there is less accum
ulation at the redemption agencies. Country
Banks are easier, and their balances here are
increasing. In New'England, a ease of Suf
folk-ation occurs occasionally, but the number
of actual failures have been much less than
might have been expected.
The redemption of the public debt this month
will be much larger than usual. Over half a
million of Government Stocks have been sent
to W ashington during the past week, by Sav
ings Banks in this city. The amount of specie
put in circulation this way during the month
will probably be over a million of dollars, and
it will give timely relief.
The amount of public debt outstanding on
the 20th day of November, was $44,975,456. Of
this, $5,000,000, Texan indemnity, is not yet
issued. There is no other nation that has so
small a debt, compared with its population and
resources, and there is no other uation on the
face of the globe that is redeeming its public
debt before maturity, and at a premium.
The Wheat Market.— The Davenport Ga
zette says: ‘-Davenport as a wheat market, we
presume, will excel any point on the Upper
Mississippi this season. There are several
firms purchasing here,but the largest we should
judge to he that of Messrs. Burrows «fc Pretty
man. Last Saturday this firm took in from
wagons 2,G00 bushels of wheat and although
they are grinding at the rate of 1,000 bushels
per day, they have now accumulated ou hand
over 25,000 bushels. When the season is over
we will compare statistics with any city above
St. Louis.”
pB~ A Southerner gave a party to a few
friends, who happened to converse about Sam
bo's power of head endurance, the gentleman
said he owned a negro whom no one in the par
ty could knock down or injure by striking on
the head. A strong burly fellow laughed at
the idea, and as Sam was about entering the
room with a caudle, the gentleman Btood be
hind the door, aad as he entered struck his
head with all his force. The candle flickered
a little, but Sam passed quietly on, remarking
“Gentleman, be careful ob de elbows or de
lights will be distinguished.”

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
DAILY $6
SEMI-WEEKLY... .$3 WEEKLY.... S2
ALWAYS IN ADVANCE.
The Weekly Tribune commences its XlVth annual
volume with the month of September—commences It
with a circulation of (115,090) larger than was 3 ver be
fore accorded to atw general newspaper whatever. This
circulation has been gradually and laboriously attained
by concentrating upon the Tribune the best efforts of many
editors and correspondents and by a greater liberality of
outlay in each department than was probably ever be
fore risked on any Journal. It has been attained, not by
sailing smoothly in the curreut of Opinion before the
wind and basking in the smiles of majorities, but by an
earnest, fearless devotion to Truth and Progress ns above
all partlzan exigencies, all temporary interests, all mo
mentary illusions of popularity and success. Its tho
rough advocacy of Temperance and Liquor Prohibition,
of Justice to the despised and down-trodden, and of the
equal and inalienable Rights of the Human Race, Irre
spective of Sex or Creed or Color, have from time to
time repelled many sunshine friends, whose prejudices
or seeming interests were thereby contravened, but have
combined to form a character which it will endeavor to
maintain and assign it a position among Journals which
we feel that it will be henceforth a success not to impair.
The leading ideas to which the Tribune is devoted may
be briefly set forth as follows: 1. Flu id. m, to do what
ever is essentially right—not alone for white Americans,
or Anglo Saxons, or Caucasians even—not for one Race
to determine whether they will or ..will not hold another
Race in abject bondage—but for every Race and Nation,
and every adult rational human being. This Freedom is
rightfully absolute in the broad domain of Opinion, and
involves the equal and imperative right to Political Fran
chises; 2. OItUER, or the necessary right of the legally
indicated majority to interdict in the sphere or Actional]
practices which it deems demoralizing, therefore preju
dicial to the Lonimon weal; 3. Blneficence, or the
wisdom and policy of employing the resources aud cred
it of the community to accomplish works of general and
unquestioned utility to which individual means are inad
equate or which, though eminently conducive to the pub
lic good, do not promise to reimburse by their direct in
[ come the outlay required tor their construction. 4. In
duntrial Dev elopement, as the corner-stone of a true
and benignant National Policy,‘counting the naturaliza
tion of a new and valuable art or product of the coil as
more important than the acquisition of a lresh province
or island, and equally within the legitimate sphere of
National concern aud National effort; 6. Peace, as a vi
tal condition of true Progress, to be cherished by the
most anxious, assiduous study to protfer as readily as we
are prone to require redress for every wrong, and never
to be surrendered except at the call of endangered Lib
erty. Such sre the chief landmarks by which TUB TRI
BUNE directs its course.
But a small portion of The Tribune is allotted to what
is currently distinguished as light reading; but Reviews
of New Books of decided Interest, with choice extracts
illustrating their quality, are freely given, while the
great body of our paper is devoted to a lucid aud careful
digest of the News of the Day, with Editorial comments
thereon. We have reliable Correspondents in each
quarter of the globe, and in nearly a'.l the principal cities
of Europe and America, and their letters will aid our
readers to a clearer understanding of the causes which
are now gradually converting the Old World into one gi
gantic arena fur the death-struggle of rival Interests, pas
sions and ambitions.
THE TRIBUNE contains reliable reports of the Mark
ets. Cur Cattle Market reports alone are worth more
than the price of the paper to those who are engaged in
raising and selling Cattle.
No paper involving so great an expense as our Week
ly and Semi-Weekly could be atlorded at the price of
these sheets except In connection with a Dully, nor
could our Daily be sustained at its price without the aid
ot our Country editions. Large as onr circulation is, it
would involve us in ruinous loss but for the receipts for
Advertising. We believe thatiu The Tribune is realized
the largest variety and extent oi solid information con
cerning the events of the day which has been or can be
combined with extreme cheapness; and in that faitli we
commend it to the favorable regard of the reading public.
We offer no premiums for subscribers, tempt none to take
Itby gambling prospects of winning farms or mansions in
a lottery in which tickets arc furnished to its patrons,
employ no traveling agents to Importune people into tak
