A Disrerutaste MIsrerresentation.— The Baltimore C//pper, though making eternal and vociferous representations of newspaper “early piety’? and constant adherence to it, has never once made a truthful representation concerning an act of a Democratic National Ad- ministration, when there existed the possibility of misrepresenting it plausibly. In its eager- ness so to do, of late. while impudently profess- ing to be a sort of Methodist organ, it makes (through the pen of an occasional Washington correspondent) the following unjust and un- founded charges against the presiding elder here, and a Washington Methodist congrega- tion and pastor : Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper.

(5) Indeed it is a matter of great surprise, that the gentlemen and ladies connected with the Gor- 1 would submit to this arrangement, because of the odium that attaches to it. It is but. justice, however, that we say in this connection, that the arrangement does not meet the approval of some of the most intelligent and reputable of SATURDAY THE WEEKLY STAR.

All the Gwin leaders throughout the State entered into the contest to defeat Mr. Broderick, and so bitter was the hostility to that gentleman, as that they determined that the very man whom he had defeated for the Senate should be the instrument to indicate the popular disapprobation of his election to the Senate and his course towards the Admin- istration. Col. Weller had not returned to the State, and it was well known that he did not desire to be a candidate for the next ¢ jovernor; but he was forced upon the track within twen- ty-four hours after he had landed, and four- fifths of the delegates elected were in favor of his nomination. Mr. Broderick published a letter, in which he endeavored to explain away his course to- wards the Administration and to conciliate the friends of Dr. Gwin. He denied, empha‘ ‘ically, the charge that that gentleman had entered into a bargain with him, to give him the Federal patronage of the State to secure his re-election to the Senate. But this act of justice to his col- If he had put the seal of condemnation on this calumny at its origin, the feud between the Gwin and Broderick parties in the State might have been healed forever.

It is a remarkable fact that Mr. Broderick and his defeated candidate for Governor—Mr. McCorkle—bolted Dr. Gwin’s caucus nomina- tion for the United States Senate, two years ago. They received about a dozen votes, each, on the fifty ballots for Senator; while Dr. Gwin received upwards of forty. Mr. McCorkle was also one of Dr. Gwin’s prominent competitors for the Senate, last winter. That gentleman’s friends must feel highly elated at the complete and unequivocal endorsement he has received from the Democratic party of the State. Laxp ano Liserty.—The price of lands is the thermometer of liberty. The laboring class are freest when lands are cheapest. Lands do not breed any more than money, and rents are the usurious exactions of capital. When a few own all the lands, they can and do prescribe the condition on which the laboring masses shall dwell pon “the earth.’’ These condi- tions in many parts of western Europe have be- come intolerable; and famine is the normal and chronic condition of the laboring masses. They who rear all the fruits of the earth are allowed to enjoy scarcely any of them. The idle and laxurious capitalist has “‘ muzzled the ox that treadeth out the straw.’’ He lives in luxury, and pays the laborers who support him nothing, and does not allow them from the proceeds of their labor half as much as masters in our southern States allow slaves—and hence “ free labor is cheaper than slave labor.’’ Hence, lands are dearer in western Europe than in Russia or Turkey. Land monopoly destroys liberty. Romestruggled for five handred years to prevent the grasping Patricians from mo- nopolising her public lands. Her policy in the disposition of her lands was just the same as ours. She endeavored to sell them only in small parcels. This was the object of her Li- cinian and (miscalled) agrarian laws. But the Patricians evaded all such enactments. Ex- treme wealth, extreme poverty, and universal corruption were the consequences of this mo- nopolising system. Roman senators became usuers and extortionists, living in city palaces, instead of cultivating small estates in the country, like Cincinnatus and the Scipios. The decline and fall of the Empire were mainly owing to these causes. ‘ The Emigration Aid Society is acting over again the fraudulent game of the Roman Pa- tricians, and their silly rhetorician, Sumner, boasts that ‘all its anticipations of pecuniary profits are founded on the hope to stock the country with permanent settlers, by whose labor the capital of the country shall be made to yield its increase.’’ Slave labor can do no more for the southern landholder than this; and we would warn the deluded victims of this company of their ne- farious schemes, and advise them as soon as pos- sible to become independent land-holders, in- stead of tenants or hirelings to these Shylocks, who boast that ‘free labor is cheaper than slave labor.’” Widely as we differ with the soc’alistie no- tions of Horace Greeley, there is a salutary bearing in some of the language which he em- ploys in his controversy on “ Association’’ with Mr. Raymond; language in which he in effect asserts the proposition with which we commence this article. that ‘* The price of lund is the ther- mometer of liberty.” So we Go!—Trave axp Trapve.—A letter in the Baltimore Amerzcan says: ‘A gentleman who came over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, yesterday, says that the aa travel over that road is unparalleled in tsannals. Nine cars filled to their utmost capa- city landed their living eargoes in Alexandria fast evening. He also states that the freight trains brought down about 10,000 bushels of grain yesterday.”’ We have repeatedly endeayored to impress on our city readers the importance to their bu- siness future of ihe great Central Railroad to the Misvisaippi, of which the Orange and Alexan- dria Railroad is the eastern end. The above paragraph, however, embraces arguments to that end far more potent, practical and tan- gible than anythat we have cudgelled out of our brain. Now, out of the nine car loads of passengers, at least one hundred, if not twice as many, stopped over in Washington city. The arrivals at the Washington hotels pub- lished in yesterday's Star prove that fact. They must necessarily expend among us—for some remain over here days and weeks—an average of $5. Say that they spend here but An aggregate of $500 per day—no mean addi- tion to the amount of money in circulation at such a season among the classes among whom it is spent. Those who sent down the 10,000 bushels of wheat to Alexandria, can hardly avoid spend- ing more or less of its proceeds here, or leaving some of it with our neighbors of Alexandria, whose business prosperity must necessarily ben- eficially affect ours. When the great chain of railroads to which we refer above shall be finished, it cannot hap- pen otherwise than that “ nine full car loads of passengers’ will be brought not once a day over them, to Washington, but twico, thrice, or of- tener. Our interests (of Washington) are at this moment far moreintimately bound up with the speedy completion of the extension of this Orange and Alexandria railroad than with any other or all other public works in the United States together; and it is but our duty to our- Selves to leave no stone unturned to expedite that so desirable conclusion. Tue Western Ixpraxs.—Information has been received at the Indian Bureau from the Special Agent at the Sioux Agency, Minnesota, under date of August 3d, of everything being tranquil at that point. The Superintendent informs the Agent that the Indians have dis- persed. The Yanktons, Yanktonees, (or Cut- Hfeads,) and Sexetones no longer remain em- bodied in a threatening attitude, having de- parted to their several homes to hunt. The party despatched to bring in Ink-pah- du-tah and his band, was constituted of indi- viduals selected from each of the several bands representing the seventeen bands of the Upper and the eight of the Lower Sioux. It is conse- quently a delegation from the entire Sioux na- tion. It is accompanied by several of the most influential chiefs—there are two from the Up- per and two from the Lower Sioux, the whole led by “Little Crow.’’ The interpreter, A. J. Campbell, with a number of half-breeds, ac- cothpany the expedition. A dispatch from Campbell, from the “Hole in the Mountain,’ reports that they were about to continue the search first at James river, then to proceed to Spirit Lake, and, if still unsuecess ful, continue on to the Missouri river; and that they are determined not to return without the murderers. This declaration the superintend- ent and the interpreter, Mr. Robinson, are firmly convinced is made in good faith. The country through which, for a considerable dis- tance, their course lies being entirely destitute of gane, the superintendent has been compelled to furnish them additional supplies of provi- sions, at the “Hole in the Mountain,” to en- able them to proceed. The Indians declared to the Superintendent in eouncil that hereafter they would without delay arrest and surrender any member of the nation guilty of the perpetration of any wrong or outrage upon the whites, and thus avoid similar difficulties in the future. ° A letter from the Special Agent, under date of August 5th, confirms the telegraphic intelli- overtaken and killed a part of Ink-pah-duh-ta’s men, and states that (IS sce oral peta are Tanpanyscn FURSDAY attend feat & a 5 VE NGcAmeust sth, SALOON, agus i it of the i x atRo’olock.
