Mr.. STEPHENS says, in his Incident of
Travels-speaking ofthe Bedouin Arabs
aThe sons of Ishmael have ever been the
same, inhabitants Of the desert, despising the
jewellers under a roof, wanderers and wild
men from their birth, with their hands against
every man, and every mans hand against
them. ssThere is blood between u.s." says
the Bedouin, when he meets in the desert
one of . tribe, by some individual of which
an ancestor ofhis own was killed, perhaps
a hundred years before. And then they
draw their swords, and new account Of
blood is opened, to be handed down in leg
acy to their children. "Thy aunt wants
thy purse" says the Bedouin, when be
meets the stranger travelling through the
wild domain. "The desert IS ours, and eve
~ man who passes OVERT must pay us tri-
bute.' =

tits, perhaps, not generally known, that
it will deyolve on the neN Legislature of
this State to elect Senator in Congress, to
succeed RobertJ. Walker, whose term of
service will expire on the 4th day of March
1871. All Wings will acknowledge the
Importance of securing to this State an able,
honest and unflnching Wing representative
in the highest Legislative body in the ma
ton. To accomplish this object with the
greater certainty, an individual who has
the confidence of the friends of correct prin-
ciples should be fixed upon, and our Wing
representatives, about to be elected, virtual
ly instructed to give him their support.
In the counties of Madison and Adams,
the Wings have held meetings, and express
ed decided preference to the Hon. S. S.
Prentiss; and have invited an expression of
opinion by their Wing brethren of other
counties.
We trust the example Of the Wings Of
Madison and Adams, will be followed in all
the counties ofthe State. They have Sc
lected the man, of all others, best calculated
to advance our cause, and secure in this
State, the triumph of our principles. His
name would be tower Of strength: He il
himself host. Our party would 60 into
the contest with confidence, under such q
leader It would secure unanimity and
concert Of action And the name of PREN

Let the Wings, then in every county take
steps to raise his banner; and to select can
didates for the Legislature who will give hin
an efficient support. viii any Of orr friend

The whole of the military proceeded the
President; they presented very imposing
appearance; made splendid display, and
went through their evolutions and require
men:s in most admirable manner. AT the
tale end of the long line of military. came
His Republican Highness, supported by
Field Marshal Wetmore, Mayor Varian and
Orator Edmonds. Then came the barouches,
and the horsemen; but soon after the pro-
cession began topass down Broadway, the
omnibuses and carts cut in the line, and cut
off all the barouches but one. and two-thirds
Of the horsemen, and the President and his
tail or body guard, therefore, looked remark
ably small at the end Of the really splendid
display OF military in the procession. This
was great oversight. As j: was, however,
there was enough cheering and smiling, and
waving of white handkerhiefs to last him
bis lifetime. Glory enough FOR one day -
All along the line of Broadway, Chatham
street, Bowery and Broome street, there was
one mass Of human beings, and every win
dow contained as many handsome female
faces, as it would afford room for.
Every now and then dozen dirty loafers
would rush into the line and grasp his High
ness soft hand and squeeze It savagely.
Immedia tely after this movement, he inva-
riably lifted his bald head and, restless eyes
to the fair face looking on him like so many
angels from above; and this sight seemed to
soothe and sustain him under his aff1ictions.
All along the Bowery and Broome street he
was cheered necessarily and Justify, down
Chatham street the girls laughed, winked
and nodded, and waved handkerchief al
him; down Broadway they smiled aristocrat-

His Excellency was exactly % minutes

FREEMEN OF VERMONT,

The time is fast approaching when freemon VIII
be called upon elect officers, who to fill the
highest stations within their gift for The ensuing
year If the State of Vermont cannot boast OF nu'
merical strength at the ballot box-she may never
the ess, pride herselfupon her political morality
and feel Justly entitled to all the respect, when
purity Of purpose and patriotic efforts must, and
will confer upon her citizens. II is worthy OF re-
mark, that while most Of the other States IN our
Confederacy, have been under the direction o' Po-
lilica supervisors ,-Vermont has remained untram.
meed Of that party discipline, which has forced
upon the people of the United States long cata-
logue of evls-whch the future historian Will at
fix as a blot upon our National Character.
The time has arrived, when the dictates OF rea
son ought to control the people with respect to
their political interest. If abuses of power-il a
wanton expenditure of the public reasure,-it a
blind devotion TO party principles are hurtiul and
dangerous to our republican institutions, enough
has been within the last ten years, to con
vince even the warmest partizan, that chunge in
the affairs of the General Government IS necessary
to secure the welfare of our country.
1t is a duty (which is inseparably connected with
political existence, that obey the calls of the
ballot box This is our only principle of safety
against profigacv and corruption 1t is the rnOdus
operandi by which tho Wings of this State have
hitherto said to their opponents "thus far shalt thou
go, and no farther Your politics, are not congo
NAL to those pure principles Of devotion, which
cost the sacrifice Of blood, and w hch will lead us
10 eXclaim
Where Liberty dwelIs. there is my Country"
We hope the pecuniary interests of our citizens
will not absorb the public good. Without some
personal sacrifices our patriotism will avail moth
ing in the hour Of danger-and again repeat to
our Wing friends Forget not the Ballot Box
IF perseverance is great moral virtue, let MS
make it political one-let us strive to initiate the
founders of our rights and privileges, when strug-
ling against oppression. When General Washing
ton with his band of followers, was beset with dan
gers, and obliged to keep aloof from the disciplined
enemies of his country, some of his worn out com
panions- the partners of his tolls and hardships-
the partners OF his tolls and hardshps--aImost dis
| couraged at the prospects of the campaign, ex-
claimed--''when shall our Ilabors cease ?" Mark
tho reply OF this great and patriotic man.-'Nover!
while the soil and waters of America openly har-
bors foe TO oppose National Freedom" Let
us initiate this example Of patriotism, and the
cause OF the Wings will be onward to victory

THE CASE OF HOLMES.

The Superior Court have given their decision
in favor Of giving up DIR Holmes to be tried for
murder by the Canadian Government He is to
he delivered up the 30th inst, giving the pris-
time to appeal to the u. s. Court. IL will be
recoectcd that the Government OF Canada de-
mandcd the delivery of Holmes Of Governor Jeni-
son--fhc Governor referred the demand to Presi.
dent Van Buren,, who refused to act in the CASE
The Gov ernor felt hositency in acting in tho
account of the uuclearncss of the law up
on the question, and asked the opinion of Chan.
celor Kent, Judge Story, and other distinguished
Judges Of the Country, all of whom decided that it
was the Governors duty to give him p,according-
ly he issued an order which was arrested by
Of hebeus corpus for decision of our Court.
1t will be recollected that Holmes is guilty Of
one the most outrageous murders recorded in the
annals Of crimeof holding Illicit intercourse
With Tache's wife IN his absence and then OF
blowing ont his brains with pistol while riding
with him. AS light be expected the locofocos are
attempting to excite the prejudccs of the people
on the frontier against Gov. Jenson, and to make
political capital out Of the case If murderers and
rogues not to be given up 10 be tried by the
law they offend, State would soon be overrun
with them, and should find 1t necessary to go
armed to protect our lives and guard our property
We expect that extras from the locofoco offices
will be scattered along the frontier TO affect the
election. We hope they will be promptly met

received by express The day previously respecting
Fo'' ftarneys detachment, promptly determin-

this, however, it became necessary to shoot two
OF the Indians, who made an attempt to escape.
The Charleston proceeded TO Castle Pickncy.
where the Indians will doubtless be imprisoned
until orders can be received rs her'fnal desti-
ma ton.
We must express our qualification at the course
pursued by Liuet. Hanson, and hope that the
promptness and decision he exhibited on this
occasion, will be followed up by other officers,
should like opportunity offer. No confidence
can be placed in any treaty or arrangement with

of Florida hope for sofety.
