COLT AND HIS FRIENDS.

The Sheriff of New York, on Monday
evening, laid before the Board of Aldermen
of that city communication, enclosing a
letter signed w. w. W., containing $1,000
in ten bills $500 each, as bride to in
duce the Sheriff not TO hang Colt, ION the
score of humanity" as the letter says, with
a representation that Gov. Bouck would
pardon Colt when he should come into of
flee, and promising another $1,000 to the
Sheriff if he would not hang Colt.
The Board directed the money to be pla-
ced in the city treasury as special deposit,
the communication of the Sheriff to be pub
llshed, and the matter referred to the CON-
mittee already appointed to inquire into the
cause of the fire which broke out in the
Prison about the time Colt was to be hang
ed.
The extraordinary circumstances which
took place in and about the city prison on
the day fixed for Colts execution, will, we
trust, be fully investigated. Some of those
circumstances indicated a conspiracy for
the rescue of Colt, and the bride offered to
Sheriff Hart is further indication of the
same thing. If the committee having the
investigation in charge. do their duty thor
oughly, they will now be able to discover
and lay open the whole plot.

MARKING NEwsPAPERs.-The Postmas.
ter General has decided that sending news
papers to another with a name written upon
it, even though the sender did not write it,
subjects the paper to letter postage. The
decision is in case where an individual re.
ceived paper directed TO himself on the
margin, the same paper with his own name
upon, was sent to his son, and the postmas.
ter of the place charged it with letter post
age. The reasons signed for it are, that
the name on the margin of a newspaper sent
to the son, communicates to him the fact
that the father was still alive, and in suffi.
ciently good health to write, and he had
sent him the paper, &c.

No CAUSE FOR DIscoURAGEMENr.-S
elated are the superficial editors of the loco
press at thor r0oont successes, that they
talk of the wing party as dead and buried,
and Henry Clay especially,utterly defunct.
In nei Their respect have we ever regarded
the recent elections as any evidence of a
change in public sentiment notwithstanding
the treachery of John Tyler, in prostituting
all the influences of his office, to defeat the
party who placed him in power, and to add
the the strength ofthe enemy. We find that
in nearly if not quite every State, where e.
lections have occurred, the locofocos have
succeeded by less number of votes than
in 1910. This is proved by the following
table taken from the Waterman.
The Middlebury people's press. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1841-1843, 1842-12-06

So with the Wings. Their vote this year
IS but little variant from its aggregate of
last year, and exhibits, of course, about the
same falling off from the victorious vote of
1910.
Now, certainly these facts are conclusive
against any changes of opinion sufficient TO
diminish the Wing strength TO any extent
worth notice, by Mr.. Spencer's published
letter or any other document Here are
three successive years, and the vote of the
third year, Notwithstanding The special eff
forts referred to, is just about the same, for
the successful party,as it was in the second
year, and considerably less than it was in
the first year.
Now, where is the evidence that the let
ter of the Secretary Of War produced any
effect2 The whole amount of effect being
the same, or just about the same, in the e.
lection that came after that letter, as in the
election that went before it, the plain in
ference is that the influence of the letter
was nothing, or Just about not hing.
No-the people cared rot for the letter,
or for MIR. Webster's speech. They were
influenced by far other causes, and those
causes were of an older date than the let
ter or the speech.

OPENING THE WINDPIPE.--A recent
Bucks County pa IntellIgencer makes
the following very interesting and useful
statement.
On Wednesday last, Mr.. James Kerr, an
elderly gentleman, while dining at MIR.
fuckers in our borough, was choaked by a
piece of roast beeflodging in his windpipe !;
his breathing was almost Immediately ar
rested, and IN the course of ten or twelve
minutes the functions of life were entirely
suspended. At this critical juncture, DR..
William S. Hendrie and Chas. Ferguson
arrived, when the former Immediately o.
pened the trachea, land by initiating the lungs
repeatedly, in the course of three or four
minutes respiration was established, when
the obstruction was readily pushed up and
dlslodged from the throat of the PATIENT
We learn that the wound is healing and
that the individual has suffered no inconve-
alences whatever from the operation.
We deem it duty to assist in diffusing
such facts as widely as possible. Presence
ct mind and the prompt resort to such ope-
rations would doubtless have saved many a
valuable life.

The LATMER CASE DEcIDED.-The case
Of Latimer, is decided, and the man is free.
When the question last came before the
court, Latimer's counsel moved for and OBJ
tanned postponement for two weeks for
the purpose of obtaining evidence from Nor
folk 10 show that he was not legally holden
in slavery. But circumstances have bro't
the matter to decision in another way !;
-ofwhich correspondent Of the Courier
gives the following account. Before get
ling into the dilemma described, the claim
ant had refused an offer of 5000, for Lati-
mer. The Courier's correspondent says:
Several members of the bar and others
indignant at the prostitution of the city
prison for the purposes of private slave
hunting, addressed a memorial TO the Sher.
if Of the County, Ia gentleman of the most
kind feelings, who is known to have no
sympathy for the shareholders, and who
has never countenanced the conduct of the
jailor in this instance in which they say,
"that an individual who will voluntarily as
sist in Selling and OBTAINING human being
for the purpose of reducing him TO slavery,
must be destitute of that humanity which
shouldalways be manifested and most with
in the walls of a Jail. and asking him to
request of the jailor the immediate release
of his prisoner, under penalty of suffering
removal from Office. The jailor, alarmed
at this movement, and finding his prisoner
summoned into court as witness, announ-
ces his determination to bring him into
court, and not 10 take him out again. The
claimant being placed in an embarrassing
situation, sells the man for four hundred
dollars, which we are happy to say, will not
pay his expenses"
The subject will doubtless come before
the Legislature of Massachusetts, and pro
badly officers holding commissions under
the authority of the United States will here
after have the exclusive right, in that State,
of aiding the Grays in securing their Lati-
mers.

THE LATTER DAY SAINTS.

The emigration of the "Mormons, or Lat
ter day Saints,'' from this port is daily in
creasing. Notwithstanding the rascalIties
of their apostle, Joe Smith, having been SO
often denounced and exposed, these well
meaning but deluded enthusiasts continue
to leave their native country by hundreds,
in order TO swell the number of his dupes on
the other side ofthe Atlantic. The class of
persons thus emigrating are, in appearance
and worldly circumstances, above the ordi-
nary run of steerage passengers. The bulk
of them are from the midland counties
farmers and farmers servants, with their
wives and families. Upwards Of 5000 have
already emigrated, and an equal number
will probably leave before spring. As no
better freight is offering, the New Orleans
vessels are taking these disciples of the
knavish blacksmith at very low figure
The Syden, for instance, only received
els for $50 of the Mormons, while the
Henry has agreed to carry 14o for flO0-
little more than fifteen shillings head -
All this is clearly indicative of two things;
first, the utter stagnation of trade between
this port and America at the present mo-
ment; and, secondly, the prevalence of su-
perstition and simply amongst a class
of our countrymen who Dug int to know bet
ter than to leave their homes and kindred
in order TO follow the fortunes of one of the
most ignorant and impudent quacks of
modern days, whose knavery is so transpa'
rent as to be seen through by every person
of ordinary capacity.-LiuerpOOl Albion.
