SUICIDE BY COLT THE MURDERER.

The Lille and death OF this hapless being must
afford a solemn warning to the youth Of our city
and land. Few Of them are entering upon life with
fairer prospects, with nobler opportunities than
were those of John e.. Colt OF a respected and
Influential family, possessing good talents aud a
winning address, enjoying aud profIing by liberal
opportunities for mental culture, he might fairly
have looked forward to a life of usefulness honor
aud happiness, closing at ripe maturity in death.

Tho duties in addition 10 the rro,ecora flordcd
by The charges OF importation, will, in my opinion,
be an ample protection against tho ow priced
woods from Buenos Ayres, or from any other qnur-
ter. The question is, to what point can this for
cign competition reduce the price Of our wool-at
what price per pound can wool Of staple equal
to ours be imported?
The items which compose the cost ofimporta-
ton are

3. 2 cents per pound for freight, Z duties are

5. 3 per cent. for six months interest on cost
from the Time OF the order Of purchase to tho time
OF sale.
6. 10 per cent. profit on cost, charges and Gu
ties
These nre stated as The average rates
Another very important fact s, that the Buenos
Ayres wool is imported in so foul stale that it
takes two pounds to equal one pound of ours, as
washed on tho sheep Our wool loses, in cleans
ing, one third OF its weight; the Bnenos Ayres
wool loses twoIhirds-in other words it takes
I-2 pounds of our wool as washed on The sheep TO
make pound of cieensed wool; while il takes 3
pounds of Buenos Ayres wool, as Imported, to
make | pound of ceansed wool. The question:
then, is at what prices can pounds Of this wool
be imported? The following is the answer, for
wool costing from TO 10 cents:

As some of the townships are fractional, wa
have had to conjecture the number of sections in

a town where the election turned somewhat upon
party grounds. In Randolph three candidates
were run-a wing, ocoIoco, and third party
man-and on The second ballot Judge Parish

that the party lines were drawn, and that the
Whigs succeeded by 40 majority. OF the result
of the Convention it is impossible to speak with
any certainty. Very LILLE Interest has been exhib.
tied by the people, either for or against the pro-
posed amendments; and it is, therefore, fair to
infer that the people moi very much in favor Of
the amendments. We apprehend that very few,
