MISCELLANY.

Dir. SHIRLEY-The re election of Mr..
HOLMES TO seat IN The senate Of The United
States tor the period of six years, hotwith-
standing the apparent unanimiy with which
i was made, has disappointed the hopes and
expectations, of large proportion of the PEG
pie. How the members of the legislature can
reconcile It TO the known principles aud feel
ngs OF their constituents, it is not easy TO see.
bnt however they may satisfy their own con-
sciences, it will surely be difficult to shew
tbe consistency of the course pursued by that
gentleman Ia Congress, not only with The opin-
ions OF he state which be represents, on some
very important questions, but even with his
own principles as publicly avowed. Not sat
ished with aiding all in his power in extending
the miesres OF slavery, he has at this session
coRiended for the right, and voted that Mis-
sour should have the power TO exclude all free
blacks and mulattoe. from their limits or in
other words that The rights Of this unfortunate
class OF citizens are dependent on the will and
pleasure of The state.
Now. SIR, by turning TO that valuable manu-
al, The Debates &C. OF The Convention for
forming The Constitution Of Mime" page So.
YOU viii find different expression of bis
views on this subject. The question was up
on admitting negroes 10 the right of electors
for state officers, where Mr.. Holmes thus
expressed himself, know Of no difference
between the rights Of the negro and the white
man-God Almighty has made nonc-Our
Declartlon OF Rights has made none. That
declares that g all men, (without regard tc
coIours) ''.are born equally free and indie
pendent"

Eel OF The common species, but OF extraordinary
Dimensions got entaugled ID The herring cruives

forfeited his life tor his temerity, Aware OF
their danger, they cautiously approached il,
and after many efforts, succeeded in fixing it
with hook, 10 which was attached a cord, and
dragged 1t on shore; where they triunphed
over their victim When measured, 1t was
found 10 be 18 feet in length, and two feet in
