THE 8 T. CLOUD DEMOCRAT JANE Q. SWISSHELM. EDITOR Thursday, January 31st, 1860 WOOD.—We want wood, and as there are a number of our subscribers who were to pay in wood, and the season for getting iu crops i» OVcf, We hope they will make it convenient to bring along our wocd just as loon as possible. WANTKI*—In payment of subscriptions, wood, flour, meal, meat, butter, or anything else good to eat, especially wood COUNTY ORDERS FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE. Mr. Seward's Speech* We should have been glad that this speech were a little easier to be understood —that it had a little more of the Ben Wade Ting in the metal 5 but it may be that it is a very good speech, very manly, and fully up to the requirements of the time. The following passage favors this view. "I dread, 111 my Innermost soul I abhor, civil war. I do not know what the Union would be worth it' saved by the use of the sword. Yet, lor all this. I do not agree with those who. with a d»sire to avert the great calamity, ad vise a conventional or unopposed separation, with a view to what they call a reconstruction. It is enough for me,first,that in this plau, de ttruotion $oe9 before reconstruction and sec ondly, that the strength of the vase in which the Lopos of the nation are held consists chief ly in its remaining unbroken. Congressional compromises aro not likely to save the Union. 1 know, indeed, that tradition favors this form of remedy. But it is essential to success, in auy case, that there be found a preponderating mass of citizens, so far neutral ou the issue which separates parties, that they cau intervene, strike down clashing weapons, and compel an accommodation. Moderate con cessions are not customarily asked by a force with its guns in battery nor are liberal con cessions apt to be given by an opposing force not less confident of its own right and its own strength. I think, also, that there is a prevail ing conviction that legislative compromises which sacrifice honestly-cherished principles, while they anticipate future exigencies, even if they do not assume extra-constitutional pow ers, are less sure to aveit imminent evils than they are certain to produce ultimately even greater dangers. Hut we do not exactly know what to make of this one: Cengresx, in the present case, ought not to be impassive. It ought, if it can, to redress any real grievance of the offended States, and then it ought to supply the President with all the means n«cess«ry to maintain the Union in the full exhibition and discreet exercise ol its authority. Beyond this, with the proper ac tivity on the part of the Executive, the respon sibility of saving the Union belongs to the peo ple, and they are abundantly con. pettut to discharge it. By ''offcnde!" here, does he mean se ceding States and if so why did he omit all allusion to the slight causes of offence which Union States might claim to have, in the "unreasonable seizures and search es" to which their citizens are subjected in the "offended" States—in the laws of those "offended" States which make it felony to bring suit before a United States Court to test the Constitutionality of laws which imprison and sell free citizens of other States, for the crime of landing at their ports—in the amiable practice of tar ring and feathering and hauging men for a suspicion of holding opinions inim ical to Slavery—in the pleasant practice of imprisoning and fining ladies for teaching children to read, and other acts of paternal solicitude. Is Mr. Seward in favor of upholding the con stitutional rights of freedom of speech and the press in the "offended" States in con sideration of the offending States repealing the laws designed to protect their citizens from kidnappers. Does Mr. Seward pro pose to change his last classification of the States, as "Labor and Capital" States for that of offended and offendirg States Does he mean by the terra "real grievan ces" to say that South Carolina has been really aggrieved by the election of Mr. Lincoln or some other act or acts of the offending States? Not by the election, for in another passage he distinctly denies that said election is sufficient cause for se cession and of course he does not admit that it is a grievance to be redressed. He says a very great deal about the in estimable value of the Union, and inti mates that without it the ships and citizens of the free North would be treated with contempt by the civilized world. So, the Union must be preserved. The Cotton States say to us—"We de spise, abhor and Ionthe you. We spurn, spit upon, defy, and tar and feather you. You are a low-bred, contemptible, negro stealing, wooden-nutmeg selling set of tin pcdlan, who would sell your souls, if you had any, for a dime. You are a set ofto greasy mechanics, and small-fisted farmers —the mud-sills of society, not fit to asso ciate with a gentleman's body servant.— We will have nothing to do with you.— Get out dog" To all of which Mr. Seward very bland Jy replies, with a low bow: "True, myup dear sir, but your Adherence gives us im portance in Europe. Deprived of y'rcounte nance and partnership we should fall into fter contempt in the eye* of the civilised world and so my dear friend, permit me still to call you so, we cannot afford to part with you." This is very polite—very like a mer chant who has anew stock of goods on handj and it may be that it all belongs to a higher state of civilisation than wo are able to comprehend but to tell the truth we like the dk of the Cottonites the best of the two. We can understand it butmediate we cannot understand how Mr. Seward the announcer of the "Irrepressible Conflict," has suddenly come to the conclusion that "the different forms of labor" in the of fended and offending States, "if slavery were not perverted to purposes of political ambition, need not constitute an element of strife in the Confederacy Pity he did not mention that saving 'i in his oth er announcement. In that Irrepressible Conflict speech he certainly took ground that the strifo was inherent in the two sys tems, or forms of labor. Now it is in the perversion of one of them. We think this a very "liberal concession" to be made by an "opposing force confident of its own right and its own strength and t-hould think more of the courage of the conceder if it had been made some place else than in the face of "a force with its guns in battery It appears to us that Mr. Seward in playing coon might have stayed quietly in his tree until Captain Scott examined his powder to see if it were dry We do not believe the Captain's gun wilt go off after all—have an idea the cap is not waterproof —think the gun dropped in Charleston harbor, and that the barrel is rusty, the lock full of sand and that it will certainly miss fire iu spite of the skill of the gallant Captain—think Mr. Seward should have given him a chance to pull the triggeronce, before coining down. On the subject of slavery in the territo ries, we cannot tell whether Mr. Seward is in favor of maintaining the Chicago plat form, or Mr. Adams' proposition to divide it, giving slavery one half and letting free dom take her chance for the other. We have read what he says about it three times but are doubtful of understanding him.— So, we copy the passage in hopes our read ers may be clearer headed. Thirdly. While I think that Congress has exclusive and sovereign authority to legislate on all subjects whatever in the common Terri tories of the United States, and while I cer tainly shall never, directly or indirectly, give my vote to sanction or establish slavery in such Territories, or anywhere else in the world yet the question what constitutional laws shall at any time b« passed in regard to the Terri tories is, like every other question, to be deter mined on practical grounds. I voted for ena bling acts in the case of Oregon, Minnesota, and Kansas, without being able to secure in them such provisions as I would have prefer red and yet I voted wisely. So, now I am well satisfied that, under existing circumstan ces, a happy and satisfactory solution of the difficulties in the remaining Territories would be obtained by similar laws, providing for the organization, if such organization wero other wise practicable. If, therefore, Kansas Were admitted as a State under the Wyandot Con stitution, as I think she ought to be, and if the organic laws of all the other Territories could be repealed, I could vote to authorize the or ganization and admission of two new States which should include them, reserving the right to effect subdivisions of them, whenever neces sary, into several convenient States but I do not find that such reservation could be consti tutionally made. Without them, the ulterior embarrassments which would result from the hasty incorporation of States of such vast ex tent and various interests and character would outweigh all the immediate advantages of such a measure. But if the measure were practica ble, I should prefer a different course, namely: when the eccentric movements of secession and disunion shall have ended, in whatever form that end may come, and the angry excitements of the hour.shall have subsided, and calmness once more shall have resumed its accustomed sway over the public mind, then, and not until then—one, two, orthreeyearshei.ee—I should cheerfully advise a convention of the people, to he assemoled in pursuance of the Constitu tion, to consider and decide whether any and what amendments ©f the organic national law ought to be made. A Republican now—as I have heretofore been a member of other parties existing In my day—I nevertheless hold and cherish, as I have always done, the principle that this government exists in its present form only by the consent of the governed, and that it is as necesessary as it is wise to resort to the people lor revision of the organic law when the troubles an*l dangers of the State certainly transcend the powers delegated by it to the public authorities. Nor ought the suggestion to excite surprise. Government, in any form, is a machine this is the most complex one that the mind of man has ever invented, or the hand of man has ever framed. Perfect as it is, it ought to be expected that it will, as often as once in a century, require some modification to adapt it to the change of society and altera tions of empire. We do wish Senator Wade or Thaddeus Stephens! or some one else of that ilk would translate this whole speech into good,«pluin Anglo Saxon. No doubt they understand it all and as Mr. Seward's speeches have great influence with the people, they should be carefully rendered into tho ver nacular of the people. This speech ought be translated into both German and English. His plan of so amending the Constitu tion as to forbid the North ever.interfer ing with slavery in the States, looks to us like a formal surrender in all the States, of what has already been virtually given in one half of them, viz, freedom of speech and the press, and the equal use of the mails. Insert such a clause, and who cannot soe that a pro-slavery Supreme Court may and will decide that any utter- ance of anti-slavey sentiments is an inter ference with slavery in tho States.— Would not this establish a censorship as rigid as ever was maintained in Austria? Oh, for a little senatorial back bone Diptheria. During the past week there have been several new cases of diptheria in our im neighborhood. They have bean promptly treated according to our plan, and were all cured. This confirms our be lief that in the earlier stages at least, the diptheria is only that form of putrid sore throat with which we have been perfectly familiar from childhood and an attack of which has long ceased to cause us the least uneasiness. For fifteen years we havo used no other remedy than to put some slight bandage up around the cars to protect them and that part of the throat immediately below the ears from cold, in going into a cold room or out of doors, to hold a handkerchief lightly over mouth and nostrils so that tho breath we inhale cd should be warmed bv the heat of that just exhaled. Then, every few hours wash out the throat by dropping a few drops of spirits of camphor on brown su gar 1 etting it diesolvo iu the mouth, run down around the tonsils, when we gargled with and threw it out and next time we ate the sugar and camphor, ate as much acid fruit as was plcasaut with soil cooked fresh eggs, and tender, boiled steak as much as satisfied all demands of hunger, and drank half a glass of good beer, por ter or pale ale two or three times a day.— But all drinks must be taken at blood heat. We cannot understand how cold can be otherwise than fatal in diptheria, for just so far as the throat is diptheritie it is dead. Decay, after the death of an organized body, is arrested by cold or heat. If the body is to remain dead, cold will preserve it in statu quo but if it is to be restored to life, as in the case of a drowned person, or the extremities of a person dying, it is always heat that is applied. Our old Pittsburg doctors were impera tive in this matter of heat in putrid sore throat, but after we began to study mod ern isms, we ba'f concluded that this was but apart of an exploded system which denied cold water in all cases of sickness. We had read nearly til the Hydropathic works published, and were half converted to the opinion that cold water was a gen eral panacea. We tri»d it on putrid sore throat, and have no idea we could have survived it twelve hours—do not believe we could recover from the slighest attack, if we took an occasional drink of anything cold, or inhaled an occasional breath of cold air. Time and again we have brought on a now set of ulcers by a drink of cold water or a draught of cold air be fore the throat was sufficiently hea'ed to bear it. With us ?hc first symptoms of diptheria are a general languor and feeling of fatigue, with a dry spot in the throat. This spot has a tickling or itching sensation. To one looking in the throat there is an ash colored spot visible just where wefeeJ this dry itching. Sometimes in a few mo ments another and another spot will appear and soon this spot will begin to protrude not liko a pimple raised in the centre but the entire- surface of the spot flat, and raised up from the surrounding parts like a knob. Then it feels like a bone or some other hard substance sticking fust and the itching gradually becomes a slight stinging pain. The throat swells, and swallowing becomes painful sometimes im possible. If we are in the kitchen, when we feel the first spot we wet a finger, touch it en salt and apply it immediately to the spot—if in the office we wet a fin ger in spirits of turpentine, and apply that—if in our chamber we touch it with camphor. Wc arc careful never to let it have two minutes of a start. Spirits of Camphor, as sold by apothecaries, should be made one half or two-thirds water to be used on sugar as a gargle. ACCIDENT.—The Mercer (Pa.) Dis patch, of the 16th, gives an occount of a fatal cccurrence whereby one friend was innocent cause of the death of another.— On the Thursday preceding, the deceased, A. M. Trotter, a young man aged 20, with a friend, James Young, each having a gun, repaired to a wagon shop near their board ing place, previous to starting on a hunt. While Trotter was engaged, Young picked up the former's gun, not knowing it wasthorities loidcd, and pointed it at him, when it went off the chargo entering Potter's left breast, killing him almost instantly.— A coroner's inquest was held, when it was proved that the young men were the best poesiMe friends, and that the accident was the result of culpable carelessness. Per sons handling firearms should be extremely careful in what direction they point them as this same practice and carelessness has cost many lives ,.** Advertising. Asa majority of our Merchants and business men either do not know enough or are too penurious to advertise, we clip the following remarks from prominent papers, that the first class may know what is for their interest, and that the other may know they injuro themselves more than any one else by their "wont pay-to-advertise" system. Tho Philadel phia Daily Enquirer says: BONNER made a fortune by advertising, and scores have followed his example with entire success. He knew that the time had gone by for the slow, easy, plodding business habits of our ancestors, and that tact quickness and enterprise ruled su preme. The public are exacting. They are not content, as formerly, to ransack a number of unassuming stores to satisfy their wants, but rattle along our streets to the establishment of the dealer who has made himself known through the col umns of the public press. We repeat, then, ADVERTISE Every dollar spent in giving publicity to your business is re turned, with profit una interest, by the consequent increase of patronage ADVER TISE! Hunt's Merchants Magazine, among other pieces cf advice to mercchants and traders says: Notoriety or publicity is an indispensa ble element of success to the merchant, the manufacturer or the mechanic, who would give a wide and speedy circulation to the commodities ani productions which he seeks to exchange for money. Ho may have capital, skill, convenient posi tion, punc uality, industry and honesty— every possible fitness for his business and all is nothing if he has not sufficient notoriety. This notoriety, let it cost more or less he must purchase or provide for as he purchases his stock of goods. And it must, in extent, bear a certain relation to ths business he would do it must be both positive and comparative. People must not only know him and his business, because otherwise they will find and trade with those who are better known. To do a succeastul and profitable bnsiness, a merchant must advertise—no matter what he sells. The example and precept of one of the most successful business men' America has seen, may be worthy of attention at the present time Mr. GIRARD wrote: "I have always considered advertising liberally and long, to be one of the threat mediums of success in business, and pre lude to wealth. Aud I have made it an invsriable rule, too, to advertise in the dullest time?, long experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out as, by keeping my business continually before the public, it has se cured me many sales that I would other wise have lost. From the Salem (Ohio) Republican we clip the following instructive paragraph: LOST A SALE.—A gentleman came into our office, the other day, as they frequently do, for similar purposes,) to look up the name of roine Book Merchant iu Alliance. He glanced over the Times, and not such an advertisement could he find. The result was, more than likely, that be procured elsewhere what the Alliance man might have sold, had he been sharp enough to advertise. In this day, people expect to find such inform ation in newspapers. What magnificnt managers these "penny wise and pound foolish" business men are who don't advertise. They know so much! The Chatfield Republican contains the following item which serves as a fruitful lesson to our St. Cloud business men They should understand that the business prosperity of a town is generally reflected through the columns of its local papers and in that way Eastern persons judge almost entirely of the activity and thrift of a town. The following is the paragraph: Wonder if Eastern people judge this town by our advertising columns? If they do God help those who arc waiting for an Eastern emigration. A man look ing over our paper finds that the business of Chatfield is done through two stores one milliner shop, two hotels, two tailor shops, and half a dozen law offices.— Prjuiising towu ain't it? But then we assure our friends east it is better than this show of business would indicate. The very same is true with regard to St. Cloud. Merchants and others appear to forget that not only their business, but their real estate is benefited by a good show of advertisements in their local. Let our pcoplo begin immediately and rectify their mistake, and we will guaranty them a full return. —The last official act of Mr. Holt be fore leaving tho Post Office and going in to tho War Department, was to shut off the mails to the State of Florida. This was done in consequence of tho .v tate au intercepting U. S. Government letters. Mr. Holt abolished the Post Of fice at Pensacola, which was the only dis tributing office in tho State, and conse quently all Florida mail matter will have to be sent to the dead letter office. KANSAS.—A bill for the admission of Kansas as a free State, passed both houses of Congress, by a largo majority, and will, no doubt, receive the signature of the President. Letter from Superior. SUPERIOR, LAKE SUPERIOR, Jan. 18 Ed. SL Cloud Democrat: I hand you a few extracts from a report published in the Detroit A dvcrtiser, show ing some of the items shipped from De troit in 1800 to the Lake Superior region, viz: Butter, 329,824 lbs Candles, 3.805 Cattle, 2,275 head. Corn, 11,117 bu. Kgtrs, 533 bbls. Flour, 22,947 bbls, Hams, 499 tcs. Hogs, live 423 do dressed 87. Lard, 496 kegs. Pork, 2,548 bbls. Malt, 8,740 bags. Meal, 2,813 Meal, 2GG bags. Oats, 107,»8 bus. Peas, 421 bbls. Potatoes, 20,750 bus. Sheep, 552. Soap, 1,705 boxes Whiskey, 1,219 bbla. Wagons, 53. I am unable to furnish the items ship ped during the same period from Cleveland and Chicago to Lake Superior. There has been a very large increase over the ex ports of 1860. From these facts Minne sota Farmers may judge of the extent of the future demand for produce, cat'le, &c. upon the completion or paTt completion of a Railroad to Superior. Of course the population of the copper region will increase in a rapid ratio from year to year. Navi gation opens on the Lake sometime before the opening of the St. Mary's river and the ship canal. The miners are generally short cf fresh beef, hams, pork, mutton, butter, oats, corn, wheat, hay, potatoes, eggs, &c., &c, and numeious cargoes of these articles would meet with a ready market at fair rates before the arrival of the fleet of steamers and vessels from the lower lake ports. People who have been feeding upon ham and salt pork for a month or so before the arrival of a steamer, would hail with delight the arrival of a fine drove of Stearns County cattle from Superior. It would please me greatly to see the Nep tune leave our harbor on the first week in April, with a full load of cattle, feed, &c. for Ontonagon, (160 miles distant.) Last year the first drove reached there from Superior several days prior to the arrival of the steamers from Cleveland and Detroit. The amount of copper shipped from Lake Superior in I860 exceeded 9,000 tous, worth about $3,000,000. The Minnesota mine raised copper ore and produce to the amount of $712,500. In former articles written for the DEMOCRAT, I urged upon merchants and drovers of Stearns County visiting Superior at the opening of navi gation, and sailing per first opportunity for Ontonagon or Portage Lake, aud prove to the Mining Agents and merchants there that, for cattle, produce, &c., Stearns Co. and Minnesota cannot be beat. Hoping to sec a large delegation from St. Cloud to make contracts with (he miners, I remain, &c, J. S. RircHiE. —We have received from the Tribune Association the Tribune Almanac for 1861. As a work of reference it is very valuable. It contains the platforms of the parties in the late election, eletion re turns from all the states, popular vote for President in 1852, 1856 and I860, table of temperatures for North America, and a large amount of other valuable matter. Price thirteen cents, postpaid. It car. be had at the Book Store. LIBERTY AND THE UNION.—Mr. Sew- ard tells us that "public liberty, our own peculiar liberty, must languish, for a time. a~d then cease to live," if the Union of the North with Southern men-stealers is dissolved. He goes en 4And such a liberty free movemen* everywhere thro' our own land, and throughout the world free speech, free press, the freedom *f ev oiy subject to vote on even/ laic, and for re against eve agent icho expounds, ad ministers, or executes." That is to say, our rights in these various particulars de pend on our beiug confederated with men and communities that systematically deny and trample upon them, and who hang or tar and feather us on the bare suspicion that we intend to exercise them Is this statesuunship?"»J.nti-Slavery 8tandard. CONCESSION.—P. and W. met on Main Street the other day, just after afresh batch of "Crisis" news had come in, and says P.: "I have been studying hard to think what concessions we can make to thebe South more than wc have already de.— We have conceded everything demanded, and everything imaginable Wo have granted all they ask of us politically, and us to social compromises, we have sent them preachers to tar aud feather—wc have sent them 'schoolinarms' to insult and imprison we have—in fact, I don't know what we could do for them that we have not done, and overdone." "But I have thought of one more con cession I suppose we might make," says W. "And what is that anxiously demands P. "You observed the item in this morn ing's paper, that they barreled up en Ab olitionist, and rolled him into the Missis sippi ltfver the other day "Yes—well?" "Well, if that thing is to be continued, it will cost them considerable for cooper age. Don't you think we ought to make one more concession, just for the sake of fraternal peace, and—furnish them with barrels?"—JCem'a (O.) Alrjwt, TfcLrCPAPKIC. PENSACOLA, Fla., Jan. 24.—The vol* nntcers arc engaged in mounting and ar* ranging the'r cannons. Carpenters are making ladders, and the utmost tnustJa prevails.

W AMI INGTON, Jan. 27—The rumor was rife here to-day that Gen. Sectt has received new intelligence relative to tho designs on the Capital by secession inva ders, which caused him much anxiety. The Grand Jury has made three pre sentments of ex-Secretary Floyd first, for maladministration iu office second, for complicity in the extraction of bonds and third, for conspiracy against the Gov ernment It is expected that the indict ment will be ready on the acticn of the Jury to-morrow. WASHINGTON, Jar. 28 [SeralcTr Correspondence j—I loarn from a gentle man who had an interview with Mr. Lin coln, at Springfield, within the past week, that the latter in discussing the existing state of affairs, expressed himself as fol lows: "I will suffer dealh before I will consent or will advise any friend to con sent to any concession or compromise which looks like buying the privilege of taking possession of this Government, to which we have a constitutional right be cause, whatever I might think of the mer its of the various propositi us before Con gress, I should regard any concession iu the face of menace, as leading to the de struction of the Government, unless it is the wish, and at the consent of all hand* that our system shall be brought down to a level with the existing disorganized state of affairs in Mexico But this thing will be thereafter as it is now, in the hands of the people, and if they desire to call a Convention to remove any grievances com plained of, or to give new guaranties for permanence of vested rights, it ia not mim to oppose." In this conversation, Mr. Lincoln urged no objection to the Border State of Ether idge proposition as a future basis of agree ment, if the licpublicaus, as a party, de sire it. The most intense excitement exists in certain Congressional circles in conse quence of the fact leaking out that tho Howard select Committee of the House has positive evidence befoie them of a conspiracy existing in this city and vicini ty to overturn the Government, in which certain p-ominent officials and citizens cf Washington were implicated. It is not true that Mr. King, the first assistant postmaster general, refused to hold any communication with ex-Senator Yulee. lie simply declined to show him the papers he asked to see, relative to the abolition of the post office and discontinu ance of the mail to Pensacola. The inter view was respectful on both sides.
