Did y'evcr to the Cattle Show go 7What kicking, and pushing, and goring—Cattle in pens—the pens in a row—And Urnal great hogs, there, a snoring.

Thero's shceD too ; ewes, and weathers, andla nibs—

Somo BUCKS, (somo are'nt in pens fur's Iknow ;)

Thero'aiheep of the Dons; tonic Uncle Sam's,Somo Natives—some "real Merino."

There's a tug too, or trial of strength.With hawing and geeing and scolding,Just to twitch a great stone a foot's length—" H a w ! haw buck!—why don't ye!—gee

Then for ploughing they give a reward,And cuto at a squirrel thaU>urrows,Ofl* a'.art the plows, cuts through tho green

There's bonnets, both of struwand of grass,And cloth too, of woolen and linen,And there's yarn, and there's thread, smooth

The World to Come.BY BOWRING.

If all our hopes and all our fearsWere prisoned in life's narrow bound ;

If, travelers through this valo of tears,We saw no better world beyond ;

Oh T what could check the rising sigh ?What eaithly thing could pleasure give t

Ok ! who would venture, then to die—Or who would venture then to live T

Were life a dark and desert moor,Where mists and clouds eternal eprcad

Their gJoomy veil beyond, before,And tempests thunder overhead ;

Where not a sunbeam breaks the gloom,And not a floweret smiles bcuo.ith.

Who could exist in such a tomb—Who dwell in darkness and in death T

And such were life without the rayOf our divine religion given;

*TJ3 this that makes ihe durknees day,'Tis this that makes our earth a heaven I

Bright is the golden sun above,And beautiful the Mowers that bloom,

And all is joy and all is love,Reflected from the world to come !

California.The road from Independence tp the foot of the

California mountains, across the Rocky and Cal-umet mountains, is about as good a road as thatfrom St. Charles to Columbia, (Boon's Lickroad,) and might, with a little work, Le made agood deal better. There is plenty of water andtimber for cooking ; there is no place where wa-ter may not be had—at farthest every twenty-livemiles. From the sink of Mary's river about 30miles to fresn water, are several hot springs andsalt springs. From whe e we strike Truckyriver to its head, (Trucky's Lake,) at the footof the California mountain, the road is rough androcky, but perfectly safe. From the lake to thelop of the mountain, about 5 miles, the ascent isyery steep and rocky, butthelnst emigrants gotiheir y/agoiis over without breaking, by packingtho load up the mountains. The descent on thisride is about 100 miles to t/ie plains, 80 of thatdistance being very rough and hilly. But thereis a proposition among the foreigners who ex-pect their friends from the Siate3,to go und.workon the road ; if so, we shall make quite a passablrood at all events, Out of the 2250 miles fromIndependence, there is but about 100 of badroad. Our party had no trouble from tho Indi-ans, and the emigration had none, except the ocpasional loss of some of their stock, and one mankilled, and that by rushing on the Indions in a

fight for shooting the cattle. As there is but onetavern or grocery store on the road, (Fort Hall,)I would advise persons coming to this country toprovide themselves with plenty of provisions,flour, rice, cheese, butter, lard and bacon.

I can only describe tho gieat valley of theSacramento, from personal observation. Thevalley is about 300 miles long, from 100 to 200miles wide, orossed by several pretty large rivers,many of them navigable to tho foot of the moun-tain ; and from that up, tho water tumbles fromrock to rock, affording • neither navigationnor valleys for cultivation. On all the riversfrom the mountain to tho mouth, there arelarge bottoms irom one-half to aix. miles wide,paoitly alluvium, and of the most fertile char-

acter, covered with grass and the richest vegetntijn, with a skirt of trees near the streammo&tly oak, some buck-eye, box. elderj and wil-low. The oaks grow very large, 4 to 7 feet indiameter, but the trunks aro very short, seldommore than 8 or 10 feet, and then it branches intolarge limbs, good for fire-wood, when seasoned,but poor timber lor farming and building pur-paes. We make no fences, but use the ditch,which stands well, as there is no rain fromApril to December to wash them.

The plains,which form about threefourthsof thevalley, are iclivlly unsusceptible of cultivation,from die fact that they are not only barren, butthe dry weather in summer would not permit a•rep to he raised. They are covered now */ith

small flowers, and somo bunch grass, whichmakes good pasture until the rainy season setsin, though it is entirely dry by the first of July.The population will forever be confined to thebanks of the rivers, A gentleman present says,hat the plains between here and the St. Wan-

kine, are much more fertile, and that very muchof them may bo watered and profitably cultiva-ed. He thinks tho lower part of Upper Cali-brnia much superior to the valley, but the diffi-culty of securing land, and the bad character ofhe Indians, have induced mnny of us to stoplere. This country, taken together, is greatlynferior ta the Western States; but those who;et situations on ihe rivers, where they can easi-y irrigato tho soil, can do 200 per cent, betterhan in Missouri. Irrigated lands here will pro-luce from -10 to 6J bushels of Wheat to the acreevery year. There is no fly, nor rust, nor rot;nd the only trouble is to have moisturo enougho make it head weil. Tobacco. Cotton, Flax,'otatocs, Beans, Feae, & c , grow finely, but notwithout watering. While on this subject, 1 willpeak of tho lab.>r to be performed. A farmervho is fitted with sufficient teams and farming

utensils, may employ as many Indians as hepleases, for nothing but their victuals, and that

cry cheap, and about two shirts and a pair ofpantaloons of the coarsest kind. He may keephem while he wants them, which is only at seedime and harvest, and then send them to theirillagcs again for tho romainder of the year.—They are about half us good as tho negroes ofMissouri, with good looking after. So that far-ncrs with a capital nf 400 or 500 dollars, cannisi; niid gather us much grain as the Missourianvith 40 negroes. The Indians know nothing ofhe use of the axe. but they are good ditchers,nd ditches are the only fences we have.

The timber in altogether in the mountains,vhich are covered with the most beautiful pine,rir, and cedar, very tall and straight, but in mostlaces very difficult to gel into the valley for use,

iom the fact that there is generally 15 or 20.lilts of hills between the mountain and the val-ey, which makes bad roads. Most of the hous-s here are built of adobles or sticks set up end-vise and daubed with mud, sometimes covered'ith boards, and at others with touly (fiullrush.)

So fsr we have not much U6e for timber. The:ountry below is supplied with timber from theed woods near the sea coast, which is very good

ind beautiful timber, much like the red cedar.—The trees grow very large and straight, andplit like cedar.—Letter from J. Sample.

The Royal Plate, &cThe Royal plate, kitchen garden, deer,

logs and ponies, are thus described bylie editor of Smith's Weekly Volume,vho is now traveling in England :

"After lunch, we went to risit theQueen's new kitchen garden, near Frog-more ; Mr. Jesse's station admitted usvhere strangers cannot otherwise pene-rate. One hundred and sixly thousanddollars have lately been expended onhis new garden for royalty ; the forcinglouses are extensive ; the glasses moveiy machinery like watch or clock work.Ye paced the superb graperies, pineries,>each and nectarine forcing houses, andasted fine specimens of the Queen'sruits; the Chasselas grapes and princeAlbert strawberries were certainly neverxceeded for excellence.

On my observing that Dr. Brinckle,of Philadelphia, had solved that difficultproblem in which European gardenerslad failed, of hybridizing the Alpinestrawberry with the large cultivated kinds,and thus producing a perpetual bearer,he head gardner, Mr. Ingram, express-

ed the strongest interest; said he hadnot succeeded in his various attempts,and begged that I would endeavor toforward him a few plants, in order that:ie might serve the royal table with thisdelicious fruit at unseasonable periods.—[ have promised for my friend, Dr. B.,that the Queen shall be gratified; shelias already eaten canvass back ducks fromAmerica with gusto, from a parcel sentover to the late Granville Penn, who for-warded a portion to his neighbor atWindsor. I little thought, when goingto England, that I should suggest anynovelty for the Queen's table. By thefrequency with which the subject wasmentioned, I was impressed with its im-portance, and have written to Dr. B., toinduce him to fulfill my promise made inhis name.

From the library we went to the apart-ment called technically "the gold room ;"it is this to which I wish to call yourattention. I surveyed it leisurely, and Ido not remember to have read a descrip-tion of its contents, nor can I give anoutline of its various treasures ; I com-menced taking notes from the mouth oithe custodo, who with his various assist-ants is every day of the year fully employed in cleansing the plate, but he sakit was contrary to orders to allow anynotes to be taken. What memoranda idid make, and what I romember accurately, 1 will state, trusting that my lette

will not be opened, and I convicted oftreason.

To begin ;—the whole collection isvalued at twelve millions of dollars!—There are glass cases like a silversmith'sshop, and behind the glass are the prin-cipal articles ; would you believe that Ithere saw a dinner service of silver giltof the most gorgeous kind, presented bythe merchants of Liverpool, to the lateWilliam the Fourth, long before he wasking, in reward for his advocacy of theslave trade. Believe it or not, there itis, with the inscription telling the tale.

There is a salver of an immense size,made from the gold snuff boxes alone ofGeorge the Fourth—the lids and inscrip-tions curiously preserved on the surfacein a kind of mosaic of gold; its valuefifty thousand dollars. Then you maysee near it, Nell Gwynn's bellows—thehandles, nozzle, &c., of gold ! the gold-en peacock inlaid with diamonds andrubies from Delhi— not as large as aphesant, but valued at one hundred andfifty thousand dollars; the footstool ofTippoo Saib, a solid gold lion with chrys-tal eyes, the value of seventy-five thou-sand dollars; George the Fourth's cele-brated golden candalabra for a dinnertable, valued at fifty thousand dollars, soheavy that two men are required to lifteach. Piles upon piles of golden plates,sufficient to dine two hundred and fiftypersons, with ample changes, were spreadabout or in the dealer's hands.

If this enumeration does not satisfyyour aching vision, we will ask the cus-tode, who seemed extremely atjxious inthe midst of so much treasure, and wouldevidently bo glad to get rid of us, to openthe long series of drawers. Here are140 dozen each of gold knives andforks of various patterns, of which herepeats the names ; as " oak," " stag," George the Third," and so on. Anoth-er set of dressers !—what can they con-tain ? Only 140 dozen each of goldtable and tea spoons, all arranged in themost perfect order. Take another walkup and down the room, glass cases ontables in the middle, filled with gorgeousgold, and try to impress some form oftaste more elegant than another. It is invain—memory only carries away a con-fused idea of riches, such as must havecost poor underground laborers lives oftoil, and sweat, and pain, to procure,merely to pamper wealth and royalty ; todo no good—to be almost as useless asit was in the mine, for it is rarely pro-duced, and requires a host of humanbeings merely to keep it bright.

A little conversation with this king ofthe gold-room informed us that it was apoor time fo see the plate, because fiftychests were removed to be used by theQueen at Buckingham Palace! He saidit was an awful thing to have to get theplate out for a state dinner, it was soheavy; and the frequent changes madeit a labor to the pages more onerous thanthe most over-tasked worker in iron.—Mr. Jesse asked him if the recently in-serted iron bars in a certain window hadnot relieved his mind from robbers. Hesaid it had ; " but you know," added lie.turning to me, " with so much plate onecould hardly sleep, when we knew oneof the guards outside might be bribed atany time, the walls mounted by meansof ladders, and a great tlnft committed."

Inward Sight.We must not conclude our notice of thismost interesting of autobiographies with-out affording an account of a remarkablefaculty Zschokke possesses, and which hecalls "inward sight." " I am," he re-marks, " almost afraid to speak of this, notbecause I am afraid to be thought super-stitious, but that I may thereby strengthensuch feelings in others. And yotitmaybe an addition to our stock of soul expe-riences, and therefore I will confess!—It has happened "to me sometimes on myfirst meeting with strangers, as I listen-ed silently to their discourse, that theirformer life, with many trifling circum-stances therewith connected, or frequent-ly some particular scene in that life, haspassed involuntarily, and as it were dreamlike, yet perfectly distinct, before me.—During this time I usually felt so entire-ly absorbed in the contemplation of thestrangers life, that at last I no longer seeclearly the face of the unknown, where-in I undesignedly read, nor distinctlyhear the voices of the speakers, whichbeforo served in some measures as acommentary to ihe text of their features.For a long time I hold such visions asdelusions of the fancy, and the more soas they showed even the dress and mo-tions of the actors, rooms, furnitures, andother accessories. By way of jest, Ionce, in a familiar family circle at Kirch-berg, related the secret history of a semp-stress who had just left the room and thehouse, I had never seen her before inmy life; people were astonished, andlaughed, but were not to be persuadec

that I did not previously know the rela-tions of which I spoke; for what I haduttered was the literal truth; I on mypart, was no less astonished that mydream-pictures were confirmed by thereality. I became more attentive to thesubject, and, when propriety admitted it.I would relate to those whose life thuspassed before me the subject of my vis-ion, that I might thereby obtain confir-mation or refutation of it. It was inva-riably ratified, not without consternationon their part.* I myself had less confi-dence than anyone in this mental juggle-ry. So often as I revealed my visionarygifts to any new person, I regularly ex-pected to hear the answer—"It was notso." I felt a secret shudder when myauditors replied that it was true, or whenheir astonishmeut betrayed my acouracyjefore they spoke. Instead of many, Iwill mention one example, which pre-eminently astounded me. One fair day,n the city of Waldshut, 1 entered an inn,''the Vine,) in company with two youngstudent foresters; we were tired withambling through the woods. We sup-ied with a numerous society at the table-d'hotc, where the guests were makingvery merry with the peculiarities andeccentricities of the Swiss, with Mes-mer's magnetism,Lavater's physiognomy,&c. &c. One of my companions, whosenational pride was wounded by theirmockery, begged me to make some replyparticularly to a handsome young man,who sat opposite us, and who had allowedhimself extraordinary license. This man'sformer life was at that moment presentedto my mind. I turned to him, and askedwhether he would answer me candidly,if I related to him some of the most se-cret passages of his life, 1 knowing a:little of him personally as he did of me ?That would be a going a little further, 1thought, than Lavater did with his physi-ognomy. He promised, if 1 were correctn my information, to admit it frankly. 1

then related what my vision had shownme, and the whole company were madeacquainted with the private history of theyoung merchant: his school years, hisyouthful errors, and lastly, with a faulcommitted in reference to the strong bo:of his principal. I described to him theuninhabited room, with whitened walls,where, to the right of the brown door, ora table, stood a black money-box, &c. &cA dead silence prevailed during the wholenarration, which I alone occasionally interrupted, by inquiring whether I spokethe truth. The startled young man con-firmed every particular, and even, whatI had scarcely expected, the last men-tioned. Touched by his candour, I shooklands with him over the table, and saidno more. He asked my name, which Igave him, and we remained together talk-ng till past midnight. He is probably

still living !"

Any explanation of this phenomenon,)y means of the known laws of the hu-nan mind, would, in the present confinedstate of our knowledge, assuredly fail.—We therefore simply give the extraordi-nary fact as we find it, in the words ofthe narrator, leaving the puzzle to bespeculated on by our readers. Zschokkeadds, that he had met with others whopossessed a similar power. — Chamber'sJournal.

ring a five inch rope is passed, which af-ter being carried under the vessel is madefast to a stanchion on deck. The hose

which these are inflated is of thesame material as the camels, than whichnothing can be neater or better adaptedo the purpose. These, when properlyapplied to the vessel, form a perfect cyl-nder, the end of one camel fitting to thenext beyond. The forward one isadapt-d to the shape of the vessel for reasons

obvious. We believe them fully compe-ent to raise a merchantman of the lar-est size, or a ship of the line, and to floathem over bars with about two-thirds oflieir usual draft, not impeding their pro-

gress through the tvater more than thenme additional breadth of beam. Oneiiing which adds materially to the valuef this Invention, is the simplicity of itsrrangftment, and the facility with whichmay be applied in rough weather.—

Each of these couplingsre provided with stop-cocks to cut offtheommunication in case of rupture. The'ommittee were highly gratified with the

experiment this afternoon, and considerhe value of the invention as completelysettled. The time consumed in adjustinghe apparatus under the vessel was a min-ute and a half to eachthem were inflated in

Report on the Marine Camels.

We call the attention of our reader?to the following very important Reponof the Committee appointed by the American Institute, to examine Captain Tay-lor's Marine Camels, for lightening vessels over bars, or offshore when aground— Tribune.

This invention consists of a series ocylindrical India Rubber Camels, fivefeet in length, and six in diameter.—These Camels are composed of Goodyear's Metallic Gum Elastic or Vulcanized India Rubber. The article is noaffected by heat or cold, which adds muclto the strength and durability of the apparatus. The air chamber or interior othe Camel is composed of two thicknesses of the strongest canvass, heavily coateewith the composition alluded to. Out othis, is a covering of duck, somewhasmaller in diameter than the air chamber, in order that the latter may notsustain the whole pressure when inflated.—Externally to these is an ingenious network of ropes, three quarters of an inclin circumference, which come to a focusupon one side like the meridian lines upon a globe. Each of these ropes wilsustain the weight of seven hundrepounds. At the poiDt where they unitethey are attached to a ring; through thi

camel ; two ofone minute, as

timed by the committee. The vessel,measuring 100 tons, was lifted bodily two~eet out of the water, by means of twelvecamels, which was equivalent to beinglightened from thirty te thirty-five tons.The Committee regard the invention as[laving an important bearing upon thecommercial world, inasmuch as it willopen a communication with those portsand places which are now unapproach-able on account of bars, shoals, &c.

Another thing not to be forgotten, inestimating the value of Capt. Taylor'sapparatus, and upon which too muchstress cannot be laid, is this : these cam-els, if placed in the hold of vessels andinflated, are a perfect safeguard in caseof storm at sea, as it is utterly impossiblefor them to sink while they are thus ar-ranged. If the vessel is dashed to piecesthey still offer the means of escape to thepassengers and crew. What an attain-ment—and what an important desidera-tum for all those who " go down to thesea in ships," and trust themselves andproperty upon that treacherous element!Tin's is something which the far-famedhumane society never thought of, or ifthey did, neglected to put it in operation;

More Chivalry.Mr. Somebody at Richmond lately

cowhided a woman with an infant in herarms, because she had spoken disrespect-fully of his wife; and in his earnestnessn strapping the mother, he gave a few

cuts, by accident, to her baby. Some ofhe newspapers in the Ancient Dominionefend him stoutly, and give us to under-tand that, being a " Virgim.y gentlemanf the old school," he was quite too

chivalrous to tolerate any "sarse" againsthis wife, especially from a woman nobetter than she should be.

How notions of chivalry differ withdegrees of latitude ! Up North here, inthe "Free Nigger Slates," striking awoman is regarded as infamous. Andany man who should strike any child buthis own in in parental correction, wouldcertainly be despised. And a man whoshould strike a baby, or any bejson holdinga baby, thus putting it in danger of hisblows, would be stigmatised not only as apoltroon, but as a brute. And whoeversho uld undertake to defend his wife orother female relative against the unbridledlicense of a bad woman's tongue, which'tongue was no slander," would be re-garded as bringing himself down to herevel. Only think of it! A respectable

citizen of Philadelphia, the head of a re-spectable family, cowhiding a she one ofcracked character, for gabbling ill-lookingstories about his wife ! Ha! Ha! Ha !Strike a woman ! ! Among us a manwould not be permitted to hold one un-easy.

But in

Russia.Russia, as to extent of territory has,

during the last century, been making themost astonishing advances. Her subjectsare now seventy millions, and one-seventhf the whole habitabe globe is brought

under her power. Her dominion extendscross the whole breadth of Europe and

)f Asia ; reaching from th e eternal snowsnd glaciers of the North, to the sunnylainsofthe palm tree and the fig. Hereet is ever on the wing—her armiesver marshaled for war and conquest.—>he has swallowed up Poland ; Swedennd Norway are prepared for her repast.

She is now devouring Caucasia, havinglready consumed large portions of Tur>ey, and she has planted her fangs deepnd strong in the Persian empire. Andhe armies of Nicholas are crowdingapidly down, to meet upon the plains ofentral Asia, in fearful conflict with

he veteran troops of Victoria. Russiand England have met in Asia, as twoighway robbers, fighting for the plunderf the helpless; and now and then ahriek is extorted from their victims soiercing—of such fearful horror, that it

makes the ear of Christendom to tingle.—England recently rained down a tempestf grape shot upon the naked Affghans,nd robbed them of their country. Andhe cool apology she made for the crimevas, that if she had not stolen the land'Nicholas would have done so.

Education in Austria.The great object of the Austrian gov-

rnment—that to which its energies areconstantly directed, is to crush the spiritof liberty, to paralize the activity of themind, and lo prevent, if possible, the ideafrom entering the minds of the people,that they have anything to do with thegovernment. During the Congress ofLyibach, the Emperor of Austria said tothe teachers of a public seminary, " I

The Cranberry.Wehave received a circular from Sul-

livan Bates, Esq., of Massachusetts, onthe subject of the cranberry culture, apart of which we copy. Mr. Bates weunderstand to be engaged in growing thisfruit.

"First. Select a situation for yourcranberry field on a clay soil, on such asis not liable to bake, or on a dark loamsoil, or on any moist soil where there is amixture of sand. Most of our reclaimedlands, such as can be made moderatelydry, are well adopted to grow the cran-berry. In fact, most soils that are natural to grow the potato are suitable foithe cranberry; yet the first mentionecsoils should be preferred. I think there areportions of most of the farms situated inthe Middle Stales and their vicinity thaare well adapted to grow the cranberry ;

Much has recently been said respectingthe elementary schools established in Aus*tria. These schools are established inbut a limited portion of the empire, whilethe millions who people the vast realmsof Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, Buc-ornia, &c, are sunk in the deepest igno-rance. And the schools, where estab-lished, are but the potent instruments ofdespotism, for the pupils are not taughtto think, but lo be servilely submissive todespotic authority. Says a foreign Re-view, "The system of Austrian educationis indeed unique in the history of man-kind. The government monopolizes thecharge. No one dares to instruct youth,who has not received an authorization tothat effect. The books employed mustbe written by agents appointed to the taskand every word that falls from a teacher'smouth, is a subject of inquiry and interestand overy word that falls from a teacher'smouth, is a subject of inquiry and interestfor the Council of Stale. The amount ofthe instruction conveyed in the schools ofAustria is, " Servants obey your masters ;and Subjects, honor your king." Indeedmind, throughout Austria, with a fewexceptions, is dead. There is no enter-prise, no desire for improvement. Thereis but one wish through the empire, andthat is to live to-morrow as they livedyesterday. Consequently,there is no eagerrush for wealth, even, but a dull andstagnant tranquility.—Abbott.

plants on different parts of their soil, ancby so doing the better soils may be ascer-tained. As far as I have observed, thereare three varieties of the cranberry, vizthe barberry, the cherry, and the bell.—I have never known any variety of theberry that would naturalize to dry soiexcept the bell cramberry. This specie:grows much in the form of an egg. Whenin tne wild states, it is inclined to grouon the borders of cranberry bog.-?, spread-ing its way to upland soil. This speciesis much larger than the others, in its wilestates. Persons engaging in the cultivation of the article, should commence willthe last mentioned species ; and by commencingwllh those that have been cultivated and naturalized to a dry soil, theywill much sooner accomplish their objectand with much less trouble and expenseas the plants mnltiply and increase abundently. Persons commencing with oneor two thousand will be able to obtainplants of theirto transplantyears.

roots become clinched, and afterwards noother cultivation is needed. The plantsmay be expected to run together andcover the whole soil in two or threeyears. The Cranberry grown by cultiva-tion usually yields from 150 to 100 bush-els per acre; its fruit Js two or three timesas large ns the wild fruit, and of abeautiful flavor ; it readily keeps soundfrom the harvest time of it to the timeof harvest again. The fruit is generallygathered in September. It is gatheredwith wireteeth rakes, made for \he pur-pose. One man will generally gatherfrom thirty to forty bushels per day withthe aid of a boy to pick up the scatteringfruit.

How Can Slavery be Peace-rally Abolished ?

In answering this question, we will fol-low the example of certain preachers, andtreat of the subject first negatively, andthen affirmatively. Before we can seeemancipation, two tilings must be prcviously done :

The control of the National and StateGovernments must be taken from thehands of the Slaveholders :

The Slave Laws must be repealed.Now concerning these prerequisites

to Emancipation, we remark,1. Abolition cannot be attained by mor-

al suasion only. Somebody must vote forthe repeal of the Slave Laws, and theelection to office of antislavery men.—This is a clear case. Every abolitionistwho stays from the polls helps to aug-ment the relative power of the slave-holders. Were half the voters of thenation to turn abolitionists, and yet notvote, the Government would be still moreexclusively in the hands of Slaveholdersthan it now is. The more antislaveryvoters, the sooner will Slavery be re-moved. Without any antislavery voterstheir sway will be undisputed.

2. It cannot be done merely by the ac~lion of religious bodies. Antislaveryaction, in all denominations, is desirable;but, of itself, without being accompaniedby political votes, the strongest resolu-tions will never repeal a,single slave law.Such resolutions at best, are merely ex-pressive of right principles and purposes.They need to be executed to make themtruly serviceable to the cause of theslave

3. It cannot be done by advocating theDissolution of the Union. We do notsay that a dissolution might not be thecause of subsequent abolition : but wesee not how a peaceable Dissolution couldpossibly be effected. It will do to talkabout, both at the North and the South :but it cannot be brought about only butby the joint action of many millions ofpeople. Every additional mile of turn-pike, canal, railroad, and telegraph lines,binds each portion of the country stillstronger to the whole, and renders a di-vision more difficult. Besides, the spiritof the people in the different sectionsmakes them harmonize well together.—The Southerners are ambitions, inso-lent, and overbearing, born to rule : whilethe Northern political men are usuallyservile, avaricious, and ready to pay anyprice for political distinction. This ad-mirable adaptation will prevent the twosections from splitting asunder. But ifthe North should really become antislave-ry, it would be quite as easy and muchless risky to abolish slavery by exer-cising their constitutional powers, thanit would be to bring about the same re-sult by a disunion of the States.

4. It cannot be done by elevatingSlavcliolders of any party to power.—Satan will not cast out Satan. They lie,or are grossly deceived, who pretend thathe will. Slaveholders will not repeal theslave laws. The other portions of thecommunity must act first. All acts ofemancipation in Northern States wereeffected by the influence of non-slave-holding portions of the people. So itwill be in reference to existing slavery.If peaceably abolished at all, it will beby the exertions of the sound portions ofcommunity acting on the unsound. Allreforms proceed in this way.

5. It cannot be done by concentratingail the antislavery men into one perma-nent national party, which will act onlyon the One Idea of Negro Slavery. Anational party, to get general support,umst take the appropriate grounds of anational party on questions of generainterest. The requisite numbers cannotbe otherwise bad. Our readers are familiar with our views on this matter, andwe need not repeat them here. Dr. Bai-ley of the Philanthropist, Birney, Good-ell, Jackson, and others of our best wri-ters, are of the same opinion.

The philanthropic portion of commu-nity,who make the welfare of their coun-try their paramount object, by the great-est efforts, to the extent of a tenth partof the whole, might perhaps, be inducedto join such a party : but the majority ofthe people never would. If rigidly per-severed in,its numbers after a while woulddwindle away, and its members wouldunite with other political combinations.Observe, that our remarks apply only toa PERMANENT One Idea party that shallhave no fellowship or connection with thecandidates of any other party. An at-tempt has been made to constitute the Lib-erty party on this basis : but the disposi-tion of its members to vote for other par-ty candidates has been so strong as hith-erto to be at times insuperable. Observealso,that we do not say such a party mightnot do much for the cause of the slave,by enlightening public opinion, and call-ing attention to his wrongs. What wesay is, that if its principles be strictly fol-lowed out, although it might be an aux-iliary to emancipation, it would never ofitself abolish slavery by its own action,nor by its influence on other parttes.

Neither do our remarks apply to aparty avowedly temporary in its charac-ter, which acts merely as a balance-uf-power party—sometimes voting fur itsseparate candidates, and sometimes uni-ting with other political combinations, asit can best make its influence felt uponthem. A party of this character, whichcombines only to influence other combi-nations, may be instrumental of greatresults. That the present tendency ofthe Liberty party is to become such anone, we will show hereafter.

The propriety of re-organizing theLiberty party on the basis proposed byMr. Goodell and others, we will considernext week.

Railways and the SabbathEvery innovation or change upon the

old routine of society usages has variousand important bearings upon the generalwelfare. Many of these are not very ap-parent at first sight. Take, for example,the introduction of Railways. One wouldnot at first suspect that they would neces-sarily be hostile to the observance of theSabbath. Yet a London paper informsus that the prevalence of Railways inEngland is sweeping the general observ-ance of the Sabbath from the land. Theirnumber is multiplying in every direction :they will soon run through all the princi-pal villages in the kingdom; and theyrun on Sunday, with scarcely an excep-tion. Crowds collect at every depot andmultitudes take pleasure rides on that dayat a penny a mile, travelling as far as theirfinances will permit. In addition to this,great numbers of young men of the mid-dling classes, of good education, amongwhom are lawyers, physicians, surgeons,&c., are seeking permanent situations onthese roads, and will of course live in thedisregard of a Sabbath, and will bring uptheir familes to do likewise. The Lon-don paper tells us that to stop the exten-sion of this anti-Sabbath process " is nowbeyond the power of man." The samecauses and results are being developed inthis country. The Sabbath will not begenerally observed in a "community whereRailways or Cauals are in operation onSunday.

The Jews.The following story, from the Boston

Transcript, is going the rounds of thepapers. There may be something in it;but the article looks to us ver)' much likea humbug, got up to gull the simple.

The London Jewish Chronicle of the12th, publishes the contents of an inter-esting letter from Jerusalem. The breth-ren of the ten tiibes it seems are to behunted out, and for this purpose the Jewsin England intend to exert a hearty co-operation with those settled in otherlands. On the 16th of May a letter ar-rived in London from the synagogue au-thorities of Sapheth, saying that in con-sequence of important information havingreached them as to the country where thebrethren of the ten tribes are to be found,a resolution was immediately passed toelect from among their congregation aman ready and capable for a mission tothat country. They appeal to the Jeru-salem Jews for co-operation, and also toselect in Jerusalem one from the Sephar-dim (Portuguese^) Jews, and or.e from theAshkenasim (German and Polish Jews,)and to send the three messengers together,who will have to travel months throughenormous deserts-

It is said these ten tribes constitute anempire of their own, have their own kingand possess great quantities of ammunition. They^are of high-stature, and havealtogether an athletic appearance. Theyare generally occupied with the study oKabala, are strictly religious, and verywealthy, being in possession of mangold mines. They do not permit a foreigner to settle among them ; even thesojourn of a few days can be obtained onlv by the payment of an enormous ta?with the exception of Israelites, who anreceived as friends, permitted to residamong them, and are altogether recognized as their own brethren. The synagogue authorities in Jerusalem have consented to the mission, though they wilhave to incur a heavy expense, which along a journey requires."

We wonder where these remarkablepeople live, who seem to be so entireljunknown to mankind, and yet their government, religion, wealth, taxation, &c.are all familiar to the writer.

For the Signal of Liberty.To the oft repeated assertion of the op

posers to the immediate emancipation othe slave, viz: thit he is not yet sufficiently elevaled in moral condition to appreciate freedom, we find this apropoanswer in Macaulay's Essay on Milton :—

"Many politicians of our time.are in thehabit of laying it down as a splf-evidentproposition, that no people ought to befree till they are fit to use their freedom.The maxim is worthy of the fool in theold story, who resolved not to go into thewaler till he had learned to swim ! Ifmen are to wait for liberty till they become wise and good in Slavery, they mayindeed wait forever."

Thomas Clarkson.The last arrival from England brought tho

news of the death of Thomns Cl irkson, so longknown in tho aniislnvery enterprize. Tho follow-ing particulars of his life from the London Spae-tator, will interest our readers.

"The venerable Thomas Clarkson wasborn at Wisbeach, on the 28th of March,1760. He was the son of a gentleman

ho held the Mastership of the FreeGrammar School in that town. His edu-cation, which had been under the father'seye, wns completed at St. John's Col-lege, Cambridge. Here Mr. Clarksonhad already attained distinction, when anevent occurred which had a material in-fluence on his future career. In th<a year1785, Dr. Peckhard was Vice Chancel-lor of the University, and he announcedto the seniot Bachelors of Arts the fol-lowing question, as a subject for a prizeLatin dissertation—"Is it right to makeslaves of others against their will ?"

In the preceding year Mr. Clarksonhad gained the first prize for the Latin dis-sertation. Filled with an earnest desireto sustain the fame thus acquired he re-paired to London, and purchased as manybooks connected with the subject of slave-ry as he conld possibly afford to buy.—With these he speedily returned to Cam-bridge, and set himself earnestly to thework of preparing to compose his essay.But so painful to him was the perusalof these volumes, that for a considerabletime he scarcely took any rest day ornight, and he ceased to regard the essayas a mere trial for literary distinction ;his great desire being to produce a workwhich should call fourth a vigorous pub-lic effort to redress the wrongs of theAfrican. Henceforth Clarkson devotedhis whole energies to the abolition ofslavery.

He very soon formed an alliance withthe celebrated Willia n Wilder force, who,in 1787, undertook to bring the subjectbefore Parliament. A Committee wasappointed for the purpose of organizingan Association, and the work of con-troversey began in earnest. Somewhatin the manner of the modern agitators,Clarkson went about from town to town

•from Liverpool to Bristol, and fromBridgewater to Manchester—laboring tomake converts and to overcome the preju-dices, opposed by indifference as well asby self-interest. Years were spent in thisprocess—books were published, meetingswere held, evidence was collected, peti-tions were forwarded to Parliament, suc-cessive motions were made by Mr. Wil-berforce, and lengthened discussions inthe House of Commons took place.—Vigorous efforts were not wanting on theother side, and a violent agitation wasthe consequence. The Privy Councilentered into an examination of the subject,and made a report. Counsel were heardat the bars of both Houses, and witnesseswere carefully examined.

Clarkson's exertions during the wholeof this struggle were untiring. But theywere not before the public, and failedtherefore of being duly appreciated at thetime ! Some years elapsed before thetriumph of the Anti-Slavery cause wascomplete, for the x\bolition measure didnot become law until the 26th March,1807. But much more remained to beeffected ; the slave-trade was abolished,slavery still existed. The year 1834crowned the efforts of the Anti-Slaveryparty with success. In that year a sumof £20,000,000 was granted by Parlia-ment, to the slave-owners,and Clarkson'mission was accomplished.

editor of the True Democrat,the anti-slavery Whig paper of Ohio,being asked to reconcile his practise ofvoting for a slaveholder in 44' with a re-fusal to v.ote for one in future, replies :

"In 1844 our immediate object was tokeep out Texas and prevent slavery'grasping the U. S. Senate and controll-ing its decision and through it the legisla-tion of Congress. We thought it notwrong to use Mr. Clay for this purpose.We remembered that our Savior madeuse of Judas Iscariot to cast out devils,and we thought we might use a slave-holder to keep them out. But they havecome in. We did what we could to pre-vent it. Others did—as they thoughtright. VVe will not now quarrel withthem. It will do no good. The Senateof the United States is in the hands ofslaveholders, and they intend to keep itthere by making four more slave statesout of Texas. Tlie Resolutions of an-nexation agree that they may do it. An-ti-slavery mm cannot make a foot's pro-gress in National legislation until tliipower is wrenched from their hands.—Our object now is, to wrench it fromthem. To do this toe cannot trust a slax-e-holder to lead us. We must attackslavery itself. It must be overthrown.We could trust a slaveholder to preventthe extension of slavery, but we cannottrust one lo overthrow it. We can trustan owner of bank stock to prevent theextension of banks, but wo cannot trustsuch an one to destroy them."

This is all very ingenious : but willscarcely bear examination. Could aBank owner be trusted to act against theextension of Banks, who fully avowedteat he would "be glad to see" that ex-tension on certain comditions ? Buthere is no use in discussing this old affair.We are 'glad to see' the Whig Democratefusing all support to a slaveholder.

From the Army.Major Forsyth writes of the Georgia

Regiment,—" It makes one's heart bleed to witness

the sutferings of these poor fellows. Incamp, you must know, few of the conven-iences considered necessary to the ill athome can he had. A man gets sick andhe is carried to the hospital with his blank-et and his knapsack. Bed and beddingthere are none, and as the country is en-tirely destitute of lumber, bedsteads aronot to be had. A blanket and the groundis therefore the couch upon which thevolunteer lies sick and dies, if he doesnot recover. If he dies the same blanketforms his winding sheet and coffin—plank is not to be had. The Quarter-master at Camargo told me, in answer toan application for a coffin, that everyfoot of plank and every old gun box thatwas to be found had been worked up forthe purpose, and that all the money inhis department would not command acoffin.

"• You will romembe/- that in ascend-ing the river we left seventy of our sickat Mutamoras. I was shocked to learnon our return that twenty-seven of thenumber had died in the short space of twoweeks. Dr. W. told me tho mortalitywas, in proportion to numbers, double thatin any other regiment."

At letter-,writcr thus describes the evacuationof Monterey by the Mexicans : —

And now was presented a scene thatI can never forget. Two regiments ofinfantry led off, with colors flying, drumsbeating, and the trumpeters blowing withall their might; the fifers made all thenoise they could. The men were allwell armed, and the whole division seem-ed to be well appointed, with the excep-tion of shoes, in lieu of which most ofthem wore sandals. Three pieces of ar-tillery were in the centre of the column—one six, one nine, and one twelvepounder. Theline,marching four abreast,extended about one mile.

The army was accompanied by a greatmany females ; officers' wives on horse-back, their faces mufiled, and with hatson, soldiers' wives mounted on donkeysor on foot, some of them carrying bur-dens that I would scarcely think of pack-ing upon mules; young women withshort petticoats and hats, tripping lightlyalong ; young girls trudging with theirlittle valuables in their arms. 1 noticedone pretty little creature, about nineyears old, with a pet chicken on one armand a pirrot perched upon her hand.—The ugliest woman I ever heard of waswalking behind a poor little flea-bit don-key, belaboring him with a large stick.The donkey was ridden by a young wo-man, a second edition of the old one.—A precious pair, that mother and daugh-ter. Most of the soldiers looked sullen,and their eyes gleamed with hatred anda desire for revenge.

A Baltimore volunteer thus describes that partof the 1 attic in which he participated.

"You may, probably,wish lo know howa young, soldier feels when he smellspowder for the first time—I will tell you.At first I felt as though I should like tohave been out of the party, .and lookedfrom one end of the battalion to the oth-er to see if 1 could see any one run.—Yes, 1 felt like running, I must acknowl-edge, but they all stood like men, andI could not bear the idea of being thefirst to run, and therefore kept on witi-the rest. The Tennesseans were abouten yards in our advance, the Mississppi-ans about the same distance in our rearYou will therefore see that I had to" stand up to the rack, fodder or no fod-der."

At this moment an awful fire was open-ed on the Tennesseans. They fell byscores, but the balance stood like veterans. We were fired upon by a cross firefrom nine and twelve poundofs, and amurderous discharge of small arms fromcorners of streets, doors, windows, andtop of houses.

By this time Col. Watson was tryingto get us ahead of the Tennesseans, (hav-ing applied for the advance and receivedfrom Gen. Taylor the promise of it,) andwhile in the act of giving three cheerswas shot down. He was on our right,some twenty paces ahead of us. I sawhim fall, and all apprehension now leftme. I made an involuntary effort to getto him to afford him help, but was borneon by the pressure of the mass behind,and willingly yielded to it, impelled by nthirst of revenge that would have carriedme through a storm of bullets, or laid meout in Montery. We were now withinfifty yards of the wall, behind which theenemy were lying in perfect security,and at this moment Gen. Taylor rode upin gallant style, accompanied by a youngofficer. Now came the thrilling sceneof all. A huge Tennessenn sung out,"Silence, men—here comes Old Zack—three cheers for Old Zack!" Threetremendous cheers were now given until" Heaven's broad arch rang back the sound."

I trembled for his safety, lor I expectedto see him fall every moment. GreatGod ! I never can forget that sight.—The gallant old soldier turned to the youngofficer who accompanied him, and receiv-ed from him a spy-glass, which ho ap-plied to his eye, as if to survey tho scenearound him. There laid at least four

hundred men shot down; the Generalcalmly shut up the glass, rind returned itto the officer, and then riding still nearerthe foe, until he was up even with theTennesseans, gave the order to " retire."I followed him with my eyes till L^awhim beyond the danger of the small arms,and then almost involuntarily uttered anejaculation of thanksgiving to the Al-mighty that his invaluable life was stillpreserved to his country.

Oh ! gen^emen, the sight was fearful.The word may be unsoldierlike—1 cannothelp it, it was horribly fearful. The manwho can contemplate such a scene as fourhundred men dead and dying, and notfeel deeply, keenly feel, he is made ofsterner stuff than the materials of which Iam composed."

Another correspondent writes from Mon-terey :—

" For four or five days past, rs I havealready informed you, we have been onshort allowance of food, and have there-fore had to resort to smuggling ; in otherwords, some fine Mexican steers havebeen slaughtered to appease the hungerof our men. In one case it was delected,and the poor culprit is now in the "guard-house ; " but hunger honors no law, andscores have fallen since. Just be goodenough to give tho Secretary of War ajolt under the fifth rib. and ask him if hewants to kill us all off, for 1 pledge youmy word hunger is producing disease,and that is making more victims than thebullets of the foe.

Our countrymen at home, 1 am sure,have no idea of our suflerings. I amequally certain that they might have beenprevented if proper means were em-ployed by those whose business it is tosee to our wants. It takes a great dealto feed 0,000 men, and the truth of thewhole matter may be summed up in thesewords : Our Government has not sus-tained Gen. Taylor as it ought to havedone, nor in the way and to the amounthe has long since demanded.

I gave you an idea in my last of theexcitement which prevailed in camp inregard to Gen. Butler. It received tentimes the force yesterday by a report thatgot out that Gen. Taylor was about tothrow up the command. This was con-sidered as a confirmation of the previousalarm, and during the whole day clubs offifteen or twenty men in the differentregiments of volunteers might bo seencursing, damning, roaring and pitching.It was finally quieted at night by an of-ficer assuring them that " Old Zack nev-er would give up the command while hecould draw his sword, or until he was or-dered to do so by the Government." As1 feel pretty confident that the Govern-ment dare not recall him, and as I knowthat the volunteers will never let himexpose himself against the enemy's fire,my mind is easy about the matter ; butI must confess I was " pretty considera-bly" alarmed and excited."

The following notice of " the seat of war " isfrom tho Washington Union :

"The State of New Leon (Nucva Le-on) extends over a large part of the plainof Monterey, and the mountain track ly-ing between it and the Rio del Norte.—The plain is very little known. Theplain appears to consist of extensive lev-els here and there intersected by hills ofmoderate elevation, and exhibits a gooddeal of fertility, but is little cultivated.There are a few important mines in themountains of the northern districts.—Large herds of cattle pasture on theplains. The population of this State issmall, about eighty-five thousand, andconsists chiefly of whites.

Monterey, where the last battle wasfought, and which is now in possession ofthe American army, is the capital of theState of New Leon, and contains about15,000 inhabitants ; it is the seat of abishop, nnd derives its importance fromthe neighborhood of the mines.

Saltillo, the late capital of the State ofCohahuiln, which Gen. Taylor has or-ders next to take, is situated at the south-ern extremity of the State, on the side ofa hill. It contains about 13,000 inhabit-ants, and has several gcod streets, com-municating at right angles with the Plaza,('public square,^ in the centre of *whichis a large reservoir, which supplies thetown with water."

Co rrespondence of the Tribune.Execution of a Sailor.OFF VERACRUZ, Sept. 25, 1846.

On the 17th inst., I was one of theedified witnesses of the supremacy of thelaw over natural right.

A sailor named Samuel Jackson, be-longing to the sloop St. Mary's, washanged at the fore yard arm, pursuant tothe sentence of a Court Martial, beforewhom he had been tried for striking nman named Taylor—one of the officersof that ship.

The preparations for the executionwere numerous and solemn, a regularprogramme having been issued by Com-modore Conner and circulated throughthe squadren several days previously.

All labor in the different vessels wasforbidden for the day, and the crewswere directed to assume their holiday at-tire. At 11 A. M. the signal, "Prepareto execute the sentence of the Court Mar-tial," was displayed at the missen of the

umbcrland, when a yellow flag was

hoisted at tho fore yard arm of the St.Mary's. The officers and crews of allthe vessels at the anchorage were thenmustered on deck, and distributed in suchplaces as would best enable them to takeas much of the spectacle in view as pos-sible. Here they were kept on the tiptoe of anticipation for more than half anhour, when the same signal that I beforementioned was hoisted, without the "pre-parative" and the curiosity of the spec-tators was very materially enhancedthereby. In a few moments more thevictim made his appearance on the "top-gallant forecastle" of the St. Mary's, at-tended by two or throe officers and theMaster-at-Armsof the ship, and by Rev.Fitch VV. Taylor, Chaplain of the Cum-berland. Stepping over the forecastle•ailing on the scaffold which had beenerected there for the occasion, the prison-er seated himself on the railing, apparent-ly on account of nervous deficiency.—The machinery fitted up for the principalact was simple, but strong and effective.A thick rope was rove through a blockat the yard arm, leading along the yardinto the foremast, where it rove throughanother block, and was made fast to aweight of near four hundred pounds.

After some additional minutes of sus-pence had been inflicted upon the thous-ands of spectators, a flash issued from thegun over which the scaffold had beenraised, and at the some instant a humanform wns seen flying in a curved linethrough the air, with astonishing velocity.When the body reached the yard arm, sogreat had been the impulse, that the checkthrew it perpendicularly into the air,feet upward, and rebounding against the"fore lifts," it passed over the fore brace,split the halter block, and then, after a fewviolent vibrations, it assumed the usualdangling- attitJde of a hanging man.

The operation, 1 have no doubt, hasadvanced the interests and safety of so-ciety, infinitlely, and exerted a vast in-fluence upon civilization in general. Inwhat manner, however, I cannot say.—This is the first man that has been killed,on the part of the Navy, during the war—not a Mexican having yet receivedthe slightest injury.

A New Orleans paper has tho follow-ing notice of this naval murder :

'The sailor named JACKSON,lately )»ungon board the St. Mary's, was an Irish-man, a young man of seven-and-lwenty,of considerable talent and some education.He was much above the common race ofsailors. Ilis offence consisted in knock-ing down the first lieutenant several limeson the quarter-deck, and uttering muti-nous and insubordinate language. Hewas convicted by a court of eleven offi-cers, Captain F., of the Cumberland,being the President. His case excitedconsiderable svmpathy, and the Com-modore confirmed the sentence very re-luctantly.'

Let our patriotic Democrats no longerexclaim against England for floggingher soldiers to death.

Slate Elections.GEORGIA. This State has returned

four Whigs and four Democrats to Con-gress.

FLORIDA. It is said that Cabell, Whig,has been elected to Congress. This isa novelty under the sun. The newStales, for a generation past, we believe,have been under tho control of the Dem-ocratic party.

NEW JERSEY. The Whigs have elect-ed four out of the five members of Con-gress ; same as last year.

NEW YORK—CONGRESS. The Whigselect 21 in the districts which wo setdown for them yesterday. The Demo-crats elect the remaining 13—includingGen. Petrie, in the Herkimcr, and Fran-cis Seger, in tho St. Lawerence districts,the independent candidates.

LEGISLATURE.—It is probable that theWhigs have succeeded in the 3d, 5th,6th, 7th and 8th districts, and the demo-crats in 1st, 2d and 4th. The latter willtherefore have a majority of 10 in theSenate. There is yet some doubt aboutthe House, though wo are confirmed inthe opinion that the democrats have it bya small majority.

We cannot yet tell tho precise majorityfor Mr. YOUNG. It will be somewherein the neighborhood of 10,000—Pilot.

In N. York City, the majority againstthe new Constitution is 18,017. Thevote on Free Suffrage was for it, 5,429 ;against it, 29,946. Majority against it,24,697.

OHIO. The Liberty vole for Govern-or, as far ns returned, is 10,708. Bebb'smajority, it is supposed, will be about2,01)0.

PENNSYLVANIA. The Whigs have gain-ed 14 members of the House.

IOWA.— This State has been in doubt,but the papers now state that the Demo-crats have the Governor, Secretary ofState, Treasurer, Auditor, Members ofCongress, and two United States Senators.

Michigan Election.According to all accounts thus far, the

Democrats have carried the State aboutas usual.

Tho Senate will consist of 22 mem-bers, of whom the Whigs have two, theDemocrats 20. Last year the Whigshad one Senator, who holds over. Thenewly elected one is Lathrop of Jack-son.

The House will consist of 60 member*,of which the Democrats have elected51, the Whigs 13, two doubtful. Lastyear the Whigs had 14 members in aHouse of 53.

For Congress, McClelland is reportedto have a majority of 1240 : viz : WayneCo. 410, Monroe 850, Hillsdale 150,Lenawee 130. Lawrence' majority inthis county is about 300.

In the Second District, Bradloy has amajority of 600 or 800.

In the Third, Bingham succeeds againstWisner : his majority is unknown.

As a U. S. Senator is to be electedthis" winter in the place of Woodbridge,for six years, the Democrats will sendwhom t^\ey please. Thus the State inall its departments, will be as Democraticas sham Democracy can make it.

The Liberty Vote.We have been looking for returns

from our friends, but they are generallyas silent as the grave : of course they can-not get the news of us, favorable or nof,unless we get it of them. We have re-ceived only a single letter onlhesubject,which reads thus :

CENTERVILLE, NOV. 4, 1846."We have not as yet received full re*

VVe gather from the notices in our ex-change?, that a portion of the party hasdeserted the nominations, and gone overlo Whiggery. Their statements, how-ever, must be taken with allowance. Weciit the following from the DemocraticExpounder, of Marshall

A bargain was made before the election,between Gordon and the Abolition leaders,which has generally been adhered tothroughout the County. Indeed, tho lead-ers of the Abolitionists went so far as tovuthhold the Abolition tickets from allthose of their purty who could be prevailedujion by such means, to vote the Whigticket. In this way, more than one hun-dred Abolitionists were coaxed or drivento vote for Gordon ; and most of them forthe entire Whig ticket. InTekonshaandHomer the Abolitionists, finding they hadbeen cheated of their votes—with oneexception—voted the clean Whig ticket.The exception was M r. , who, notbeing able to find out the names of theAbolition nominees, wrote "Captain Win-ters" on a slip ef paper, nnd threw it in—declaring that he was "certain ho hadvoted part of the Abolition ticket, for fromWinter's .love of notoriety, he would bosure to got nominafed for something." InMarengo the leading Abolitionist, andhis son, and as many as he could in-fluence openly voted the entire Whigticked. In Emmet, we are informed,every Abolitionist voted for Gordon andDixey. There are 28. In Battle Creek,all but 28 (there are said to bo about 40)voted for Gordon."

An exchange says that "the Abolition-ists of the towns of Jackson and Parma,almost to a man, voted the Whig ticket."

Are these things so ; or are they chief-ly the slanders of disappointed partymen ?

In Genesee County, the Liberty votewas about the same as last year.

In Bruce and Armada, Macomb Co.the Liberty vote has doubled on last year.

If our friends don't send us any ncw»*we will try to gather it from officialreports of our exchanges next week.

We should have noticed last weekthe death of Mr. Kirkland, formerly ofDetroit, and subsequently of LivingstonCounty. His body was found in theHudson River, near Newburgh. It issupposed that in the darkness of the nighthe walked off the dock. Mr. Kirklandwas an antislavery man, a good scholarand writer, and a contributor to the firstvolumes of the Signal. Mrs. Kirkland,his wife, is widely known in Jhe literaryworld.

ft?** The True Democrat speaks of th»" utter hopelessness of ever uniting thereform and anti-reform Demccrats of thiscounty into one party." Hence we sup-pose they will co-operale, if not unite,with tho reform Whigs of this County.The lines between the old parties are be-coming indistinct. The next Presiden-tial election will probably again renderthem plain to be seen, and more strictlyregarded.

Massachusetts.—The BostonTranscript notices a new preparation toproduce sleep in patients to be operatedon by surgery. It is the invention ofDr. Morton of that city, and is adminis-tered by inhalation. If this be true, itcertainly is a much easier method thanthe pawing process, to say nothing aboutdelicacy.—N. Y. Sun.

A Lowell correspondent of the Brook-lyn Eagle, after mentioning the differentplaces of public worship in the formercity, adds :

" « The Sabbath Labor Christians,' asone ofthe papers term them—that is, thecorporotions—have service also nearlyevery,Sunday in the canals. The con-gregation is composed mostly of labor-ers, and the exercises consist of digging,drilling and blasting, accompanied withvoluntaries on the trowel, sledge-hammer,6tc, and appropriate selections from thebeautiful chants of masons, hod-men andteamsters. I passed last Sunday one ofthese interesting meetings, so honorableto the puritan land. Though a singlepoor man working by himself would befined, yet these companies go unrebukedand those working under their sanction,however much the neighboring congrega-tions may be disturbed. Might is right.

We understand that Dr. Morton, at theinvitation of Dr. Hey wood, ofthe Mc-Lean st. Hospital, administered admin-istered his preparation to produce sleep,yesterday rooming, to a man who had atumor extracted from the neck. Our in-formant, who conversed with one of thephysicians who witnessed the operation,statos that the rnun, after inhaling thepreparation for a few moments was lostIn sleep, giving no symptoms of suffering,while Dr. Warren was extracting the tu-mor. He was totally unconscious ofvrhat was going, till neai1 the close of theoperation, which lasted longer than usual,when he drew a long sigh.

This is the actwhich we have strong intimations, bothJudicial and Editorial, was plainly ex-cusable if not absolutely justifiable.

Now it in no wise appears that Hoytsought the acquaintance of this lady—that he cherished any designs upon hervirtue, ("such as it was) or was in anyway her seducer or tempter.

Her pas-sion seems to have been the more vehe-ment and overruling throughout; she isincessantly importuing Hoyt to runawaywith her, which he declines to do; andit is very evident that exemption from thelast degree of guilt in the premises is tobe credited to his forbearance.

«Hoyt, it seems, was a single man, liv-ing in Richmond, and keeping a lotteryoffice. At his hotel he became acquaint-ed with Mrs, Virginia Myers, wife of aVirginia gentleman,, herself of a goodfamily of that vicinity. A criminal pas-sion was mutually indulged by them,but itappears not to have proceeded to thatextent which the judgment of the worldregards as absolute crime.

THE SPEAKING AUTOMATON.—Vari-

ous attempts have been made by mechan-ical ogency to inflate the human voice,but hitherto, we believe, with very par-tial success. The praise of overcomingthe difficulty has been reserved for a Ger-man artist. With the ingenuity forwhich his country is famous, he has con-structed a speaking machine, which ut-ters every sound of which the humanorgans are capable, with surprising dis-tinctness ; which whispers, speaks loud,laughs, sings, talks in every language,and repeats any form of words that anyvisHer may require. Prof. Faber is theinventor of this new marvel. He hasbrought it from Vienna, where it wasexhibited with great applause; and has,during the early part of the week,exhibit-ed it in a room in the Egyptian hall, toassemblages distinguished for rank andscientific attainments. The result hasbeen highly satisfactory.

A COACH UNDER SAIL.—The New

Orleans Bulletin gives the following des-cription of a novel vehicle in use on Gal-veston Beach, Texas :

"A coach propelled by wind. The ve-hicle is constructed with four wheels, thefront ones being much wider apart thanthoso behind, and on them rests a bodylike an omnibus. In front is the most,on which the mainsail is placed,and wherethe tongue of an ordinary carriage is, abowsprit for the jib. It is steered by anapparatus which directs the hind wheels.The beach on Galveston Island is as levelas a floor, and as hard almost as a stone,and when there is a fair wind, the car-Eiage runs at railroad speed. When thetrade winds prevail, the wind blowingthen from the Southeast, it runs fromone end of the Island to the other anaback with tho utmost facility."

ANN ARBOR, NOV. 13.—Wheat brings62 £ cents per bushel.

BUFFALO, NOV. 8. The advices bythe Britannia received here by Telegraphon Saturday were incorrect, and as theywere despatched westward by the Hen-drick Hudson, they will no doubt occa-sion heavy losses to persons west whomay be influenced by them. Instead ofthere being an advance of 5 shillings onon flour as was reported, there is not anadvance of a single penny. The quo-tations of flour in Liverpool, received bythe Caledonia were as follows : "Freeflour 34a35s 6d—bonded 32a33." Thequotations in "Wilmer's Tines," receiv-ed by the Britiannia, are free flour 34s6dto 35s 6d—in bong 31s to 33s—Wheatis also precisely the same, 8s 9d to 9s 3d.In corn, however there is an improve-ment.

The London correspondent ofthe N.York Courier and Enquirer, a Whig pa-per, in his letter of Sept. 21st, says thatthe farmers of the great corn-growingStates may depend on a permanent de-mand for Indian corn, at about 30 s. perquarter, equal to 95 to 100 cents a bushelin England, or GO cents in New York.What do Mr. Clay and Mr, Webster andMr. Hudson say to that ? He says thedemand is now for human food, but inordinary times it will be wanted partlyfor animals, to supply the greatly in-creased deimnd for butcher's meat. It istime to begin a stir that shall reduce theexorbitant tolls and charges on the N. Y.Canals. It costs more to bring grainfrom Buffalo to New York, than to car-ry it from N. Y. to Liverpool. TheBoston Journal says that the great demandin New York for ships to send grain toEngland has compelled the New Yerkmerchants to come and buy or charterall tho ships to be had in Boston.—Eman-cipator.

inot cease drawing till the face is free from anymatier that may bo lodged under the skin anyfrequently bieaking out io the surface. It thenheals. When there is nothing but grossness, ordull repulsivo surface, it begins to soften andsoften until the ekin becomes as smooth and deli-cate as a child's, it throws a freshness nndblushing color upon lln> now white, transparentskin, that is perfectly enchanting.

Now let me sny to pumas,that this Salve will alsv.iys tell if a child hasworms. It will drive every vestige of them away. This is a simple and safe cure.

There is probably no medicine on the face ofthe earth nt once so sure and so safe in the ex-pulsion of worms.

pp pyare in health, but ceases when we are sick. Li''ecannot be su?i.ii:u<l without it. Ilia thrown ofFfrom the blood ami other juices of the body,and disposes by this means, of nearly ail the im-

;purities within us. The blood, by ihis meansptyily, works itsell pure. The language of Scriplure is, 4tin the Blood is :he Life." If it ever'becomes impuie. it nuiy be traced directly to thestoppage of the Insensible Perspiration. It never

I requires any internal medicines to cleanse it, nsit always purifies itself by its own heat nndac-tion, nnd throws off ail ihe offending hnmors,through the Insensible Perspiration. Thus wesee all that is necessary when the blood is stug-nant, or infected, is to open t-ie pores, audit re-lieves itself from ell impurity instantly. Its Ownheat and vimlitv are sufficient,, without one par-ticle of medicine, except to open the pores uponthesurface. Tli.i.-J We sec ihe folly al taking somuch internal remedies. All pruciition^rs, how-f ver, direct their efforts to restore the Insensibleperspiration, but it scei.is to be not always theproper one. The Thompsonian, for insiancesteams, ihe Hydropathisi shrouds us in wet blank-ets, the Homopath si deals out infiniiissimals, theAllopaihist bleeds and doses us with mercury,andthe blustering Quack gorges us with piils, pills,pills.

To give some idea of the amount of the Insensiblc Perspiration, we will state that tholearnedDr. Lewcnhock. and tiie great Boerhaave, ascer-tained that five-eighths ot all we receive inio thestomach, passed off by this means. In 'otherwords, if we eat and drink eight pounds per clay,we evacuate five pounds of it by the InsensiblePerspiration.

This is none other than tho used up particlesuf tho blood, and other juices giving place to thenew and fresh onea. To check this, therefore,is to relain in the system fiv,.eighths of all thevirulent matier that nature demands should leavethe-hocly. And even when this is the case, thebl rod is of so active a principle, that it deter-mines 1'iose particles to the skii, where theyform scabs, pimples, ulcers, and oihsr spots.

By a sudden m>nsiiioii from heat to cold, thepores are stopped, the perspiration ceases, anddisease begins at once to develope itself. Hence,a stoppage of this flow of the juices, originatesso many compiaiuts.

It is by stopping the pores, thot overwhelmsmankind wiih coughs, colds, and consumptions.Nine-tenths of the world die from diseases in-duced by a stoppage ot ihe Insensible Perspiration.

It is easily seen, therefore, how necessary isthe flow of this subtle humor to the surface, topreserve health. It cannot be stopped; it can-not be even checked, without inducing disease.

Let me ask now, every candid mind, whatcourse seems tho most reasonable to pursue, tounstop the pores, after they are closed? Wouldyou give physic tounsiop the pores? Or wouldyou apply something that would do this upon thesurface, whore the clogging actually is? Wouldnot this be common sense? And yet I know ofno physician who makes any external applicationto effect it. The reason I assign is, that no medi-cine within their knowledge, is capable of doingit. Under these circumstances, I pressnt tophysicians, and to all others, a preparation thathns this power in its fullest extent. It is McAL-STER'S ALL HEALIXG OINTMENT,

ortlie WORLD'S SALVE! It has power torestore perspiration on the feet, on the head, a-round old sores, upon the chest, in short, uponany part ol the body, whether diseased slightlyor severely.

It has power to cause all external seres, scro-fulous humors, skin diseases, poisonous wounds,to discharge their putr.d matter, and then healsthem.

It is a remedy that sweeps off the whole cata-logue of cutaneous disorders, and restores theentire cuticle to its healthy functions.

It is a remedy lhat forbids the necessity of somany and deleterious drugs taken into the sto-mach.

It is a remedy that neither sickens, gives in-convenience, or is dangerous to ihe intestines.

It preserves and defends thesurface from allderangement of its functions, while it keeps o-pen the channels for the blood to void all its im-purities and dispose of all its useless particles.The surface is the outlet of five-eighths of thebile and used up matter within. It is piercedv.-rh millions of openings to relieve the intcs-...les. Slop up these pores, and death knocksat your door. It is rightly termed All-Healing,tor there is scarcely a disease, external or inter-nal, that it will not beuefit. I have used ii forthe last fourteen years, for all diseases of thechest, consumption, liver, involving the utmostdanger and responsibility, and 1 declare beforeHeaven and man, that not in one single case hasit failed to benefit, when the patient was withinthe reach of mortal means.

I have had physicians, learned in the profes-sion; 1 have had ministers of the Gospel, Judg-es on the Bench, Aldermen and Lawyers, gen-tlemen of the highest erudition and multitudes ofthe poor, use it in every variety of way, andthere has been but one voice, one united, univer-sal voice, saying, "McAlister, your Ointment isgood!"

CONSUMPTION*.It can hardly be credited that a salve enn have

any effect upon tho lungs, seated as they arewithin the system. Bat we say once for all, thatthis Ointment will reach the lungs quicker thanany medicine that can be given internally. Thus,if placed upon the chest, it penetrates directly tothe Iung3, separates the poisonous particles thatare consuming them, and expels them from thesystem.

I need not say that it is curing persons of Con-sumption continually, although we are told it isfoolishness. I care not what is said, so long asI can cure several thousand persons yearly.

HKAO ACHE.

This Salve has cured persons of the Plead Acheof 12 years standing, and who had it regularlyevery week, so that vomiting often took place.

Deafness and Ear Ache are helped with thelike success, as also Ague in the Face.

gThey may bring their Oils far and near, andmine will restore the hair two coses to their one.

OU) SOUKS, MORTIFICATIONS. ULCERS, ETC.That sumo Sores are an outlet to the impuri-

ties of the syBtcrrt, is because they cannot passoff through the nuiual channels of the Insensi-ble Perspiration; If such sores aro healed up,the impurities must have somo other outlet, or itwill endanger life. This is the roason why it isimpolitic to use the common Salve of t'ic dayin such ccses. For they have no power to openother avenues, to let oii" thi* morbid matter, andthe consequences are always fatal. This Salvewill always provide for such emergencies.

Consumption. Liver complaint, pains in thechest or side, falling of the hair, one or the otheralways accompanies cold feet. It is a sure signof disease in the system to have cold fecr.

The Salve will restore the Insensible Perspi-ration and thus cure every enso.

In Scrofula, Erysipelas nnd Salt Rheum, nndother diseases of this nature, no internal remedy-has yet been discovered that is so good. Thesame may be said of Bronchitis, Quincy, SoreThroat, Piles, Spinal Diseases, Broken or SoreBreast, &c.

And as for the Chest Diseases, such as Asth-ma, Pain. Oppression and the like, it is the mostwonderful antidote in the World.

For Liver Complaint it is equally efficacious:for Burns it has not has its equal in the World;also, ExcrcQcnces of every kind, such as Warts,Tumors, Pimples. & c , it makes clean work olthem all.

SORE F.YE8.

The inflammation and disease always liesbackof the ball of the eye in the socket. Hence ihevirtue of any medicine must reach the seal ofthe inflnmation or it will do little pood. TheSalve, if rubbed on the temples, will penetratedirectly into the socket. The pores will be open-ed, a proper perspiration will be created and thodisease will soon paes off to the surface.r iMPLES ON THE FACE, FRECKLES, TAV, MASCD-

nnd tender frames aro unable to bear up ugainstthem? Whole armies aro thus sent to theirgraves merely frjm pouring into their weakstomachs powerful drugs ond physics! It is tosuch that the All-Healing Ointment tenders sosafe, pleasant, and harmless a cure Such canses as Croup. Cholic, Cholera Jnfantum,Worms, and all Summer Complaints, by whichso many children die, the Ointment will re-move so speedily and surely, that a physicianwill never bo needed. Mothers! throughoutall this land, we now solemnly and sacredly de-clare to you that the All-Healing Ointment willsave your children from an early grave if youwill use it. We are not now actuated by thelenst desire to gain; but knowing as we do thatvast bodies of infants and children die early;which is supposed to be inevitable and impossi-ble ti> prevent, we holdup our warning voice,and docl.ire in the face of ihe whole world,CHILDREN NEED 1\OT DIE MORE

THAN OTHERS!!

But it is from the want ef proper nourishmentand the constant drugging they undergo whichmows them down as the rank grass falls beforethe scythe.

Mothers! we repeat again, and if they werethe Inst words we were ever to utter, undo)course past the reach of all interest, we wouldsay, "use the All-Healing Ointment for sicknessamong children."

RHEUMATISM.It removes almost immediately the inflama-

tion and swelling, when the pain of courseceases.

FEVERS.In cases of fever, the difficulty lies in the

pores being locked up, so that the heat and pcr-sp:ration cannot pass off. If the least moisturc-could be started, the crisis ia passed and thedanger over. The All-Healing Ointment willin all cases of fevers almost instantly unlock theskin and bring forth the perspiration.

KK,M,\r.E COMPLAINTS.Inflnmation of the kidneys, of the womb, and

its falling down, weakness, and irregularity; inshort, all those difficulties which are frequentwith females, find ready and permanent relief.We have had aged ladies tell us they could notlive six months without it. Btfi lo females aboutto become mothers, if used for some weeks ante-cedent to their confinement, very few of thosepains and convulsions which attend tl:cm at thatperiod will be felt. Tlysfact ought to be knownthe world over.

SCALD HEAD.We have cured cases that actually defied eve-

rything known, as well as the ability of fifteenor twenty doctors. One man told us he hadspent $'")00 on his children without any benefit,when a few boxes of the Ointment cured them.

CORNS.

People need never be troubled with lhem ifthey will uso it.

As a FAMILY MEDICINE, no man canmeasure its value: So long as the stars rollnlong over the Heavens—so long -ns man treadsthe earth, subject to all the infirmities of theflesh—so long as disease and sickness is known—just so long will this Ointment be used andestt'Oiued. When mnn ceases from off the earth,then the demand will cease, and not till then.

To allay all apprehensions (on account of itsingredients, in possessing such powerful proper-ties, we will state that it is composed of somo ofihe most common and harmless herbs in exist-ence There is no mercury in it, as can be seenfrom the fact that it does not injure the skin oneparticle, while it will pnss through and physicthe bowels.

THE undersigned would inform the publicthat he manufneturcs Horse Powers and

Threshing Machines at Scio, of a superior kindinvented by himself.

Thesa Powers and Machines arc particularlyadapted to the use of Farmers who wish to usethem lor threshing their own grain. The pow-er, thresher and fixtures can nil be loaded into acommon sized wagon box and drawn with onepair of horses. They are designed to be usedwith four horses, nnd aro abundantly strong forthat number, and may be safely used with six oreight norses with proper care. They work withless strength of horses according to the amount ofbusiness done than nny other power, and willthresh generally about 200 bushels v heat perday with four hones. In one instance 158bushels wheat were threshed in three hourswith four horses.

This Power nnd Machine contain all the ad-vantages necessary to make them profitable tothe purchaser. They are strong nnd durable.—They are easily moved from one place to anoth-er. The work of the horses ia easy on thesopowers in comparison to others, and the price isLOWER than nny other power nnd machine,have ever been sold in the State, according to thereal value. The terms of payment will be libe-ral for notes that are known to be absolutelygood.

I 'have a number of Powers nnd Machinesnow ready for sale and persons wishing to buyare invited to call soon.

CLEANERS.I expect to be prepared wiihin a few c?ays to

make Cleaners for those who may want them.•The utility and advantages of this Power and

Machine will appear evident to all on examining•he recommendations below.

All persons are cautioned against makingthese Powers nnd Machines; the undersignedhaving adopted the necessary measures for secu-ring letters patent for the same within the timerequired by law.

RECOMMENDATIONS.During the year 1845, each of :he undersigned

purchased and used either individually or jointlywith others, one of S. W. Foster's newly invented Horse Powers ond threshing uinchines,and believe they are better adapted to the use ofFarmers who want Powers and Machines fortheir own use than any other power and thresh-er wiihin our knowled«o. They are calculatedto be used with four horses nnd are of amplestrength for that number. They appear to beconsiructed in such a manner as to render themvery durable with liule liability of getting out olorder. They nre eisily moved from one placeto another. They can be worked wiih any num-ber of hands from four to tight, and will threshabout 200 bushels whent per day-
