MURDER OF FAMILY A NEGRO BURN

IptelIigencer Of the 9Th, that family by the

Col Johnson will come into the Con-
vention with a very considerable strength,
but we trust he will not obtain the nomina-
ton, for he has more real, positive strength
with the masses than any other candidate
Loco-Focoism can scare up. With all his
faults and deficiencies, he possesses gener-
osity of character and magnanimity of soul,
like his brother Kentuckian our own Har-
ry Clay, though very far inferior to him in
talent and capacity. He would be hard to
beat if nominated as we are thankful he
cannot be.

The nomination of Mr.. Marsh was then
reported TO the Convention, and concurred
in. with very few exceptions.
We have at present no Knowledge Of
any unfairness in The organization of I he
Convention, or the means used in brig
ing about the nomination of sufficient
weight to be mentioned. Still we believe
that full representation from Addi-
son county would have cventuated in The

PUsEYisM DR.. Hawks of 81. Thomas S

in holy writ which could be claimed as au-
thorizing ecclesiastical jurisdiction. was
that dir ction of the Saviour, Math. XVII,

TIE News FROM ENcLAND.-By the
Acadia which left Liverpool on the 10Th of
MAY, we learn that the Anti-Cor Law ex-
citement is on the increase in that country,
and that the general impression was that
Government would be compelled to yield
to the demands of the masses, unless an i'm
mediate revival of business should occur.
By reference to the summary of news in
this paper, it will be seen that quite an ex-
citing scene occurred in the House of
Commons on the 18th inst, between the
friends of the ministry and the opposition,
on the subject of the Corn Laws.
The subject of Repeal is also agitated in
Ireland with great fury the Repealers ill.,
creasing in boldness and strength every
day. Future arrivals from England will
therefore be awaited with great anxiety,
until the present seeming crisis in her af
fairs shall be over. The old and once
steadfast foundations of that ancient realm
are at present sadly shaken by various caus-
es, and we may well doubt whether they
will be able to "stand the racket" If they
shall, they will prove themselves firmer
and stronger than the foundations of any
other monarchy in Europe-Troy Wing

MODERN DEMOCRACY.

We know not when we have seen more
graphic picture Of modern democracy, ali,
as Locofocoism, than is contained in the
following paragraph of a speech recently
delivered by Mr.. Fuller, of Monroe
County, in the Assembly of New York! II
is perfect portrait.
"Modern Democracy consists in all the
officers of the Government, from the Presi

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF FOREIGN MAN

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF FOREIGN MANU-.
FAcTURED GooDs.-A seizure has Just been
made by the officers of her Maiesty's Gus.
toms, of the large quantity of 400 bales of
foreign manufactured goods, imported by
the house of Barring and Brothers, in the
ship Niagara, from Boston, now in the st.
katherine's Docks, London. 1t appears
the entry was passed in the name of that
firm, for warehousing the goods at the ware
houses Of Taylor and Bell, at the legal
quays. and 375 bales were in course of tran
sit in the lighters belonging TO that estab-
lishment. The discovery was made through
the simple incident of one bale being lan>
ded on the quay of the dock in error, when
the officer on the station caused it to be o.
Pened, found each piece to bear the brand
of STARK Mills, Manchester" The 400
bales, each containing 20 pieces of thirty
yards in length. are now in the hands of the
Customs. There seems TO have been an
extraordinary mistake about this transac>
ton, which has been explained by Messrs.
Barring in letter TO the Times. and also in
statement made by the Manchester Guar.
dian, from which it appears that there is no
STARK Mill, in that town. and that it is a
bona fide transaction, the goods being man>
ulactured at Manchester New Hampshire.
