Hon. T. W. Tipton, Senator from
this Stale, made a speech on Recon
struction in the Senate chamber on the
1 Oth of Ftbruury, which closes in the
following beautiful and forcible style:
Mr. Pretident, the only path of duty
for us to travel is that marked cut by
the light cf Christian civilization. We
are pledged by the spirit of our institu
tioas by Pilgrim vows and Pilgrim faith,
by interposition of Providence, from the
hour of the Mayflower's peril to the fall
of treason's banner, to do, by our Iegis
lution, all and "everything demanded by
the s'rictest rules cf Heaven's justice.
When we attempted to evade a settle
ment after the American Revolution ol
l.0, we gradually, commenced to
illustrate the proposition, "Whom the
gods intend to destroy they first malte
mad." When we denied the criminal
ity of slavery, nud turnd the Bible's
precepts aside, and iih the emblems
of bread and wire enticed Christ's
humble poor to the table of communion
in order ihit the great sou! driver might,
with greater accuracy, cast the lariat

1 The enterprise of Mr. Merry last
fall in i-hipping corn in bulk from Du
buque to New York, by way of New
Orleans, has brought the question up
prominently. The St. Louis Democrat
says: 'It is stated upon the best author-
ity that large contracts have already
been concluded by certain parties at
Keokuk and on the Illinois river, with
the Mississippi barge company, for the
transportation of corn in bulk lo New
York city via New Orleans, at low
rates of freight, through bills of lading
to New York being given by this com
pany. This will definitely settle the
feasability of through shipments of
grain from this city to New York or to
any port in Europe; and its success
will assure an early and radical recon
struction of the who'e carrying trade
cf the great Musia&ipi valley. Thel
enterprise is one which we trust to see
eventuate fortunately, for great results,

The late.t theory concerning the
authorship of.'Rock me to Sleep Moth
er, is that 11 authoress was a young
Irish womar named Miss Ann O'Dyne
(anodyne), who afterwards married a
talented youig Irishman named Perry
Gorrick (paegoric), and that it was
published inthe Sleepy Hollow Gaz

mation is perpetrated by the Roches

Stoppitg at a village inn, there

a jury of property holders which parti
san motives and feelings of personal
hatred will control, is sublime. For
principle he dares all things. What
ever gentlemen of ihe jury may think,
or profess to think, there is every indi
cation that his motives (in firing the
elevator) were pure.
The Courier puts the same idea in a
different shape, thus:
He (Johnson) has deliberately, with
his eyes cpen to the consequences, ta
ken the very steps for which Congress
had predetermined to impeach him.
This is, in itself, proof positive of the
honesty of his character. - ' "
To which the Express again pointed
ly rejoins:
Suppose we read the above, ; with
merely a change of tha name, thus:
"He (John Smith, who stole a watch)
has deliberately with his eyes open lo
the consequences, taken ihe very step
for which the law had predetermined
to punish him. This is in itself proof
positive of, the honesty of his character."
