vent any act being passed, or measure

creditors. | have right to speak, and
an equal right to be heard. Look over
the books OF your Sheriff, Tor the past year,
and YOU will find there tale, shameful
to your Legislators. You will find there,
sir, the sale OF my plantation of $50 arpents,
for little over 5000 which cost me Sc 900.
Al that sale, sir, there were onlytwo bids,
and this among white population Of Z 900
people. Since that sale, which has thrown
to the winds the labor and toll of years,
have been told BY several citizens, who al
the time would have bid as high as three
thousand, that they knew nothing about
the sale. And as a further assurance Of
this fact, can assert positively, that the
buyer at the Sheriff Sale, who paid little
over $500 for my land has since been of.

1.-THE PILGRIM PRESIDENTS

The Welcome 10 John Tyler on his
arrival III our city Yesterday, was tame
aud Hat affair. There was about half a
turnout OF the Military, looking well, as
usual, and a very good showing Of the
Irish Reporters who rallied rather to ex-
hIbit their strength than from any great
love for the OCCASION Then there was
pretty good gathering Of miscellaneous
people, az there always is when there is q
show 10 be seen--not so many rs there
would have been 10 see a colored gentle
man hung, but still very fair considering.
The spectacle was very late IN reaching
the Guy, having TO stop at New brunswick
and Perth Ambov on has way from Prince

people, TO say nothing Of the babies, were
kept longer standing III the sun than would
have been conducive 10 health or good
temper. Il was ) o'clock when The Pro-
cessiun began TO move up Broadway, and
after when il got back 10 Towards Hotel,

Chatham street, the Presdcn, being placed
as we arc to!d--in the midst of the Spar
tan Band, white Ahasucrus rode horse

that might have been mistaken for cheers,
alarmed his Excolency as he passed Tam
many Hall but he soon recovered bis self
possession end his hai-which had acct
drutaly fallen from his hand. The pro.
ccssion doubled Union Square IN the most
solemn silence. which was well maintain

Aridl Togace across The Ocean Mr..
Wise, the aronaut, announces in the Lam
caster Intelligencer, that he intends to
make an Rrial trip across the Atlantic in
IA balloon in 1914, and cautions all mari
ncrs on the ocean not to be the least
alarmed if they see him floating 10 the at.
ulosphere. He says that his long expe-
rience in aerostatics has convinced him
that regular current of air is blowing at
all times from W. 10 H., with a velocity
of from twenty to forty miles per hour,
according TO its height from the earth /;
and having discovered composition which
will render silk or muslin impcryious 10
hydrogen gas, so that balloon may be
kept ahoat for many weeks, he feels conf
dent, with these advantages, that trip
across the Atlantic will not be attended
with as much real danger as by lhe com.
mon mode of transition.
"The balloon is TO be one hundred feet in d.
ametor which will give nett ascending power
of twenty-five thousand pounds, being amply snt.
fcen, to make every thing safe and comfortable,
A seaworthy boat is TO be used for tho car which

happen to fail in accomplishing the voyage
