against Mr.. Clay. The policy of Mr..
Van Buren,, in opposing annexation, IS SUI
icidal, and the Globe ought 10 understand
that there is too much good sense in the
democratic party, to waste its own ener-
gies in vain attempt to rescuscitate
dead statesman. lnfuriated at the OVER
throw OF Mr.. Van Buren,, it seeks some
object on which to pour out its accumula'
ted wrath. And while the paroxysm is on
him, and his keeper out of sight, he strait
way charges that Mr.. Calhoun negotiated
the Treaty Of Annexation for the purpose
Of defeating it,! After writing out this
stupid charge, the habit Of giving reasons
being ever strong upon him, and finding
it utterly impracticable to assign any, he
is suddenly taken so sick that it is impos.
sidle for him to ,rrite any more! We
earnestly hope that the maIady is only az
fected, for if he be really i'll, we would
entertain serious apprehensions for the
result. An attack OF sickness, in such a
state of raring madness as the Globe has
been laboring under, would not be a sub
ject of jest with US. We, therefore, can
only say, that should such be the case, we
wish him a speedy recovery, both from
the physical and the mental malady.

Otherwise, not only war, pestilence, and

And bitter words are spoken,

Der the graves of the poor heart.

Birthplace Of joy and sorrow!
Happiness for to-day,

In the cold cold earth is lain!
Oh! it is better, fnr,

RIOTS IN KENSINGTON The
riots in Kensington yesterday, Wednes
day the 9th inst, although no; signallzed
with the loss of life, up to seven O'Clock
in the evening, were nevertheless marked
with violence of the most outrageous
character. During the night of Tuesday
large numbers of people remained about
the scenes of violence, and the military
kept vgiIant guard until daylight, when a
portion of them were relieved by rein
forcements from the second and third bri.
gades, and shortly after, the district ap'
pearing to be quiet, the rest Of the mill.

day, crowd of people went to Ninth and
Poplar ST., where number CT Irish fam
lilies had taken refuge in a number Of
dwellings; these were fired and burned to
the ground, the inmates scattered and the
furniture destroyed.
Meantime an immense crowd had ga.
thered in the vicinity Of st. Michael's
Church, and about two o'clock, p. m,
Captain Fairlamb demanded the keys Of
the edifice from the Rev. Mr.. Lochrin,
the pastor, who Immediately gave them
up, and with them the keys Of his own re.
sidence, adjoining the church. Captain
Fairlamb instituted rigid search through.
out the premises and found neither men
nor arms concealed, either in the church
or in the house.
Shortly after this three young men
walked through the detachment OF military
into the church, the front door of which
had been left unlocked. One Of them in
a few minutes afterwards threw out of the
window a portion of the drapery of the
altar. They soon came out into the
street and walked off without obstruction
The flames soon burst out, and spread un'

remained but the bare walls. During the

We'iI not Give up the Bible.

We won't give up the Bible
Gods holy book of truth,
The blessed staff of hoary age,
The guide of early youth,
The lamp which sheds glorious light,
Der every dreary road.
The voice which speaks Saviours love,
And leads US home to God
We won't give up the Bible,

We won't give up the Bible,
For it alone can tell
The way to save our ruined souls

That through the Saviour's precious blood
Our sins may be forgiven.

Shall follow all our days;
For they're engrayen on our hearts,
And still shall guide our ways"

your religion was different from our re-

have been TO see. We cannot help it so
long as the white men will sell whskey 10
the Indians. Our Great Father can
prevent it, but no one else can. We
want he should stop up the barrel and not
suffer any to run GU. to the Indian.
Brothers, as to the school. we canno, do
mnch ; we can talk to our people about
sending their children, but if parents will
not send their children, we cannot help it.
If you get along well with the children
you now nave, parents VIII see It, anu be-
come willing 10 send their children, as
they wish them 10 learn to work and read
and write like white people. Brothers, we
believe that all you have said 10 us is true,
and we wish you 10 carry this talk of ours
home with you, and tell our friends, the
Quakers all about what you have seen a.
mong your Shawnee friends; that many
of them have good farms, raise stock, viz.
horses, cows, sheep and hogs and many of
Them do not drink whiskev but have good
houses, good furniture and live comforta.

twelve hundred. They are situated on
