THE AWFUL PLUNGE. The StCatherne, U
c. Journal of the 9Th, states that five men were
swept over the Niagara Falls on the previous
Thursday. The Journal says;
THE only particulars we have been able to
learn, are, that just before sunrise on Thursday
morning last, a boat with two men in it, was dis
covered in the middle of the river, above the falls
vainly endeavoring 10 make their way through
the ice, with which they were enclosed, to the
Canada shore. The utmost exerlions proved un-
avang, and in a short time they were seen to
enter the cascades, when they disappeared. In half
an hour after, another boat, with three men in ii
was discovered in the same awful situation, and
trying too, to gain the Canada side but in few
moments shared the melancholy fate of the other.
Yesterday the body of a man was picked up in
the Whirlpool supposed to be one of those unlor-
tunae men, having about his person two hundred
dollars, and valuable gold watch"

tlully Soulo,
FRANCIS TUFTS,
from the north

We commend to our Alabama friend the an
neXed extract from reply to Mr.. Clay's speech
upon abolition, by DR.. Claiming, Of Boston, from
which we intend TO make more liberal extracts
hereafter:
Mr.. Clay insists that the STAKEHOLDER has a
right of full compensation from those who call on
him to surrender his slaves. | utterly deny such
a right in a man who surrenders what is not his
own. | cheerfuly acknowledge however, that
whilst in strict justice the STAKEHOLDER has no in
demnity, he has title to sympathy and equitable
consideration. A man, who, by conscientious and
honorable REIMBURSEMENT of what he discovers to
be another's, makes himself comparatively poor,
deserves respect and liberal aid. There are few
at the north who would not joyfully acquiesce in
the plan of that distinguished statesman, Rufus
King, for large appropriations of the public land
to the indemrifyng of sufferers under an act of
universal abolition.
cit is believed, however, that compensation,
even on the most liberal scale, would not be a
great amount for the planters in general would
suffer little, if at all, from emancipation. This
change would make them richer, rather than poor
err. One would think indeed, from the common
language on the subject, that the negroes were to
be annhilated by being set free; that the whole
labor of the South was TO be destroyed at single
blow. But the colored man when freed, will not
vanish from the soil. He will stand there with
the same muscle as before, only strung anew by
liberty; with the same limbs to toll and with
stronger motive to toll than before. He will re-
ceive wages, instead of fixed allowance; and
wages are found in many parts of the West In
dies, to get from him nearly twice the labor which
he performed during bondage. He will work
from hope, not fear will work for himself, not for
others and unless all the principles of human
nature are reversed under black skin, he will
work better than before. For what mighty loss
then does the Shareholder need compensation 3
We believe that agriculture will revive, worn out
soils be renewed, and the whole country assume a
brighter aspect under free labor. The savehold-
er in relinquishing what is another's will add
new value to what is unquestionablY his own"

FROM THE SoUTH.-As every ray of light

BROWNSVILLE, April 3, 1899.

Dear Sir-Having seen the result of meet
inc of an ant-slavery convention held at Middle
bury in your State reminds me of the propriety OF
your saying to the members of said convention
and all others of the like faith, that our slaves are
all for sale, and if they are so anxious for their
freedom they can obtain their object by sending
an agent with the cash and purchase them, take
them home, marry them to their sons and daugh-
tiers, as they may wish. This is no more than
they would wish should we attempt to deprive
them of their property, If some of your papers
would make the like propositions to them perhaps
it would have good effect on those so devoid of
a sense Of justice and religion.
Respectfully yours,
EPA NCIS TTTFTC

FRoNTIER.-The last St. Adams Messenger
has the following:
Affairs on our frontier have assumed more
quiet appearance since our last. There has been
no burning. Doubtless this is owing in great
measure to the presence and watchfuness of our
militia, who have, in several instances, frustrated
the plans of the incendaries. The almost night
y disturbances of our guard we fear will yet lead
to serious consequences.
On Thursday morning about 3 o'clock, Capt.
Cadwell's guard, stationed at Johnsons were fired
upon by three men, who Immediately fled Their
firing, however took no effect. On Friday night
the guard stationed near Shelters were somewhat
molested. correspondent from Saxes Mills,
(Highgate,) speaks of it as follows:
"The guard on the outpost about ii o'clock,
saw man prowling about in the lots among some
scattering trees near the post. The guard hail
ed him, upon which the man snapped his gun
The guard then fired without effect. Nothing
more was seen tllabout midnight, when two men
were discovered near the same spot.
Our guard hailed them, and for answer receiv-
cd the discharge of two guns. Our guard then
returned the fire with three guns, but still without
any effect. Having no more cartridges, they re-
turned to the house after ammunition. When they
retired they heard the men say they have left.
The guard aud others returned to the spot, but
could discover nothing At 3 o'clock the picket
saw man approaching, when he hailed him, but
received no answer. He then snapped his gun,
but it flashed in the pan. The man Immediately
disappeared in the woods.
On Saturday nj ght there was some disturbance.
One of our guard seeing suspicious looking per-
son a short distance off, hailed him, whereupon
gun was discharged, which was Immediately re-.
turned by the guard but probably without effect"
