IL writer in one of the New York papers
apologies rather curiously for Texan slavery
and shows nice consistency in her constitution.
While the importation of slaves from the United
States is tolerated and encouraged, the introduc.
ton of any colored persons from beyond seas,
to be held to service or labor is deemed piracy
and punishable with DEATH!. The difference
seems to be, in the two modes of conveyance
whether by land or water--or else in the coun.
tries groping the negroes, whether free and civ.
ilized or onslaved and barbarous.
If a certain race of mankind, of one hue, be
doomed by the Creator to perpetual scrvitudc tt
their fellow beings of another hue, it seems pass
ing strange to us, that life should be forfeited
from merely fulfilling an agency in perfectins
that doom, under one circumstance more thar
another. In consideration of strict justice, We
are not able to discover why some constitution
trainers and law makers can tolerate the with
holding of liberty from some Of the woolly heads
while they make it capitally criminal in taking
it from others. If the matted head, toad back
mouth and ebony hyde are liccnse for keeping
any of their wearers in bondage, to make profit
in buying and selling,-what possible reason car
there DO for Furnishing white folks, (of comely
features and light thin har,) with severity, no
only, but capitally, who may attempt to get gair
bv taking 10 market the rest Of them.
The reason why we do not sec more clearly
through this matter may be, however. because i
is dark subject.

"A University is established by law at Mil
waukec, in Wisconsn-where bears and wolves
only, instead of students, could be found two
years ago"
" This item is from late Ontario Messen-
ger. For nearly half the aforementioned time
well patronized newspaper has been established
at Milwaukee, and two more are being CON-
menced there. These things may look strange
to eastern eyes, but here, where matters are done
up quick, we discover nothing uncommon. Un-
like old eastern countries, whenever literature
and the press make pitch, in any Of these wilds
of the west, the "bears and wolves" give place
in hurry. Many new conner to these parts
has BEEN astonished, at finding the fields Of wheat
springing up on every hand in our woods, and
the retreating deer scarcely out of sight!
Why-even in our good st. Joseph county,
where Improvement is SO far advanced and the
fields appear so perfect with the old cultivation
of seven years, they tell us-the last Indian has
not left yet.

CONSTANTINE REPUBLICAN.
WEDNESDAY, MAY II, 1897.

" Among the mass of wing attributors of the
present dislocated times to the wrong policy OF
the cx-president, is the old Boston Gazette, that
used to be noted opponent to Jefferson and the
succession of democratic presidents. But let
that pass. Its consistency in the maintenance
of political heterodoxy, from one generation to
another of its proprietors, is Of small account
the matter held forth at present, as argument, is
all respecting it which we care any thing about.
Such attempts to misead, not only the Ignorant
but the enlightened, are lamcntable, unkind and
shameful.
The article to which we allude, begins with
this sentence =" Many have been at a loss to
account for the fact, that, an administration
which has done so much as that of Gen. Jackson,
to cripple the industry of the nation, should have
been SO popular ;"--and then goes on with an at
tempt to account for it, ION very simple princi-
Pies" Too simple to be believed, or need re.
hearsal and their fallacy is clear enough, in con.
trast with the following portion of a paragraph,
from better whig print, the Philadelphia Pub.
lie Ledger -" Overbanking, aud consequent
overtrading, are the mischefs under which the
country periodically suffers, and these are the
NECESSARY results of a monetary system, expan
sible or contractible at the will of its managers
and the power of a printing press. Every mer
chant recollects the memorable panic of 1888 ant
1884, and the severe contraction which produced
it." We shall probably find room for the whole
article from the Ledger on this subject, mex
week, and give also a more full view of the un
sound arguments of the old Gazette.

FRANCE.

Paris, 26M March.--Not the slightest
commiseration has been excited by the
state of misery in which the worlsmen are
plunged, and it does not appear that any
act Of royal munfcence has been brought
in aid Of the starving population of Lyons.
1t would appear that this great city of the
Rhone was destined to endure sieges and
grape shot, but not to receive the gifts Of
benevolence The reports transmitted by
M. Rivet are frightful. 5000 looms arc
without work, and 5000 only half en-
ployed consequently 10000 persons are
deprived of employment and of bread at
the same time.
An ostentatious report has been published
ofthe result of the deposits in the Lyons
savings bank. The sums paid in ex.
ceeded the amount drawn out, but it is not
well known that the savings banks receive
much larger sum from servants than
from workmen? 1t is a misfortune, but
not the less true. This result is severely
felt in Paris, where the continued inclem.
ency Of the season has thrown great
number out ofemploy, and we doubt wheth-
err any assistance will be conveyed to them.
Bankruptcies are increasing, and shops
are closed in greater numbers than hereto
fore the reports of the Project of Police
mention the shutting up of 100 shops in
one week, in consequence of a cessation
of business. The spectators at the
Bourse had been anxiously awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. James Rothschds, in order
to effect rise /; but the large banking es-
Enlistment to which that capitalist belongs
was apprehensive of an unfavorable trans
action, as the present aspect of Europe
was not quite so encouraging to loan
negotiators as heretofore.
March 27.-The Ministerial papers had
prepared the public for an announcement
that the run on the saving banks was dimin.
ishing if not absolutely at an end--at least
in Paris. The Monitem of Tuesday
proves that no ground whatever, existed
for this expectation, and that, instead oI
subsiding, the panic respecting those es
adjustments tab had considerably increased
The returns Of receipts and payments 70,
the week ending on Monday last showed
mat the amount OF Judgments in the Me-
tropitan Saving Bank had been 26O,s9t
francs (flO,435 sterling), while the sums
Withdrawn within that period amounted tc
(G70,640) From Amiens, Arras ant
Toulon, the last returns showed the contin
uance ofthe panic in those places respec.
lively. That for Toulouse states that al
the money lodged had been Withdrawn.
March 26.-The panic respecting the
saving banks was still making progress
The distress of the Lyons manufacturers
and operatives, and, generally speaking
of the manufacturing classes Throughout
France, appears to have undergone NJ
diminution.
The Silk Trade.-Letters received yes
terday from Avignon of the date Of the 22'
of March, mention that the raw article con
tinued to decline rapidly in price the cause
assigned for which were the bad situation
in which the manufacturers were placed
together with the heavy failures whic
had occurred oflate in the London markets
Constantine republican. [volume] (Constantine, Mich.) 1836-1838, 1837-05-17

THE TIMES.-The Ithaca Herald has very
clearly shown, in the following article, who arc
picking at notes in the vision of others, having
beams in their eyes: -
The present unfortunate situation ofour
affairs, the CONFUSION of credit and tho
shock of failure, appears TO lis the natural
and untailing consequence of the insane
spirit Depreciation, stimulated and encour-
aged by over banking, and which needed
not the present depressing events to con-
vince any one ofits result. It is a state of
exhaustion and debility, following wild
and feverish excitement; and the causes in
most cases will be found to have originated
in the imprudcpce and improvidence of tho
parties themselves.
But still it is great reliefto find some
object on which we may cast our burden,
some extraneous cause TO which we may
attribute these peccant humors of the body
polite. 1t releases us from a superfluity
of trouble, and is very convenient reser-
YOUR for our own offences. To the en-.
quiry. Who has done all this 7 how ready,
how easy, how conclusive the answer.
The Observation-Disclosures Jackson
Martin Van Buren-the pet Banks--the
Specie Circular,-Amos Kendall, Francis
Blair and Thomas II. Benton. Thus
should any flour merchant find himself
foiled in his attempt of starving the CON-
munity into his prices-ruined by the ex-
orbitancy ofhi speculations and his bread
stuffs drug upon his hands, what con-
ISOLATION it must be to unpack his troubled
heart and rave about Andrew Jackson and
a arrangement of the currency. And
again when another individual reaps a
failure in his land ventures, when he finds
that the boys and swamps cannot be i'm
mediately converted into lawns and parks,
and that centuries must elapsc before a
ricketty settlement can advance into q
aourishing city, how natural is it for him
TO turn his eyes to the specie circular and
Land office at Michigan. And when the
grasping unrelenting usurer is defeated in
his schemes, and drinks to the dregs Of
that poisoned chalice' which he has so
frequently administered to the lips Of others,
how inveterate does he gorge his malice
on every preventive measure which he con.
siders private injury though it has been
public benefit. But the men of the world
are wise in their generation and notwith-
standing clamor and denunciaiion, people
are already convinced that the specie cir
cular, has no more to do with the misfor-
tunes these individuals than the Alphabet
of Cadmus, and that the administration is
as innocent of their grievances as the man
in the moon.-Ithaca Herald

arrived this morning from Jacksonville,( E.
F.) To Capt. N. we are indebted for the
Courier of Thursday last, from which we
make the subjoined extracts, the first OF

More Murder By Struggling Indiam'.--
On the 9Th inst. the house of Mr.. William
Clemmons, situated on the road from Al
ligator to Livingston's Ferry, on the Su-
wanne, about twenty miles from the latter
place, was attacked by Indians. The in
mates, consisting of Mrs. Clemmons and
four children, and little orphan lad living
with Mr.. Clemens were murdered! Mr.. G.
was from home at the time this awful visi.
iation was made upon his family. He re-
turned on the 10th instant, the second day
after the horrid transaction and the first in
timation of the calamity that had befalen

Buffalo Banks.-The Banks in Buffalo have
been charged with violation of their charters,
and an order issued by the chancellor Of State,
at the instance of the commissioners, to suspend
all further business until the 22d inst, when a
hearing will be granted them in the city of New
York. The banks have not failed, but paid spe-
Gle on their notes till the service of the above
order. The banks in this city we learn, had
previously withdrawn all their funds from Buffa-
10, and will not in the least be effected by this
temporary suspension.
