ANOTHER or MADAME REsrsLL's VICTIMS

ANOTHER or MADAME REsrsLL's VICTIMS
Another of Madame Restell's victims expired
about o'clock yesterday morning, at No. Is Oil
yer street. The particulars of the case are as
follows A young girl named Ann Eliza Munson,
native of New Haven, Connecticut, about Oc-
tober last became encientc by william named
James Frazer, of Painfeld, New Jersey, who had
robbed her of her honor. BY him, in the month
OF December last, she was induced to come to
this city and visit Madame Restel, the notorious
female physician, who has once been convicted of
murder, or manslaughter, but was cleared on
technical grounds by the Supreme Court, and
against whom there are now pending two several
indictments for similar offences An operation
was there performed upon her, and she remained
IN the house about ten minutes after. In the
course of a few days she was delivered of a still
born child On Sunday evening the coroner was
informed OF the situation of Miss Munson, and
that it was doubtful whether she would survive
lie Immediately repaired to the house, and found
the Invalid IN such precarous situation that he
deemed 1t expecient to hold an ante-mortem ex-
animation. A jury was accordingly summoned
and the girls testimony taken in ertrenis, after
the usual questions had been asked and satisfac-
torlly answered. She then related the full par
ticuars with the greatest minuteness and distinct
ness, duplicating Madame Restell
The coroner sent subpoena for Madame Res
tell to her splendid mansion in Greenwich street,
where they found Madame Restell, alias Ann
Lohmann, and her husband. 1t was recommends
en- that the subpoena should be obeyed; but Ma
dame slipped out. of the way and was off, having
got wind, undoubtedly, that her victim was at the
point of death, and that if she could keep out of
the way for few hours, she would not be iden-
tilted. Word having been transmitted to the Co
roner that Madame Restell was of, he issued
warrant for her apprehension, which was placed
in the hands Of officers Ruckle and Brown. They
searched her house from top to bottom, but could
not find her; but by threats of arrest succeeded
in making one of the many women in the house
disclose the direction the Madame had taken
Officer Ruckle then slipped out, and drove to a
house in Varick street, above Spring, where he
found her concealed, at about 2 O'clock in the
morning. II"
She was then taken to IL Oliver street, with
two other females, who dressed almost exactly
like her, in every particular, the hair and all, and
the three were introduced into the room, and
placed before the dying victim, Restell being in
the centre. On being asked if she could identi-
fly either of the three persons, she pointed Res
tell out, and said, "That is Madame Restell."-
About two hours after, Miss Munson died.
The deceased was about 26 years of age, ard
must have been very pretty 1t is, however, i'm
possible to conceive how much the body was ema-
ciated at the time of death-t was absolutely a
frightful sight to behold.--N. Y. Aurora.

RAMON ORTIZ, OR THE GENEROUS
MEXICAN

We some time since condensed from Kendall's
Santa Re Expedition, an account of most UNI
mltgaed villain, Salezar, whose conduct to the
prisoners was not only brutal but demoniacal.
In fine contrast with this rufian, is the character
of Ramon Ortiz, young Mexican, the Cura of
FL Paso, % years OF age. He is described as of
mild and benevolent countenance, and as kind
hearted and generous in an eminent degree. He
was particularly profuse in his attentions to Ken
dali, and invited him, well as several officers
of the Expedition, to spend day at his delight
full villa about mile from Ell Paso. Here they
were entertained with an elegant hospitality,
and, having just escaped from the misery, squaor,
and tyranny of the monster Salezar, it was no
small luxury for the unhappy prisoners to be sup
piled with each change Of clothes and linen
tor the people of Ell Psso treated the prisoners
with kindness and liberality. Ramon Ortiz al
most compelled Mr.. Kendall to receive sum Of
money for his use, in the further prosecution of
his journey Of captivity; Mr.. X. having previ-
ously almost forced him to receive a small gold
pencil-case, as memorial Mr.. Kendall parted
from this truly noble young man with much re-
greet, and the excellant philanthropy of his char
acter will be the more appreciated, when we in
form our readers that, on the prisoners, leaving
FL Paso to prosecute their painful march to
Chihuahua, Ramon Ortiz sent strong and well
caparisoned horse for Mr.. Kendall's use, for The
entire 300 miles-also cart load of newly
baked bread, with mules to draw il, for the use
and comfort of the officers, besides large sup
ply OF clothing, medicines, and oher necessaries
for the men. Honor to the warm hearted Young
Mexican Pass his name round, brethren of the
press, for he deserves this tribute at our hands
for his kindness to one Of the craft.--Phi. Inq

PROGRESS OF THE NEW PARTY

The Baltimore Clipper which, a few days
ago, declared in favor of the American Re
publican party, has had enormous occasions
TO its list-shewing the popularity ofthe move
ment in Baltimore. The Clipper of yester-
day. commenting upon notice which we
made offs new position, uses this language
.If the editor had witnessed the sponta-
neous burst of appreciation with which our
declaration was received by the citizens of
Baltimore. he would consider it sign indeed
"a sign that the American citizens mean to
control their own affairs, in despite of all for
eign attempts to the contrary. We perfectly
agree with the editor Of The North American,
TIN "the progress of this cause cannot be ar
rested;" and for the reason assigned by him,
that sit is a true and just cause" 1t ap-
peals TO the patriotism of the American peo-
pie; and inspires feelings similar TO those
which actuated our revolutionary fathers in
their resistance Of foreign usurpation and.
aggression. Our liberties were purchased at
too great a sacrifice of blood and treasure, to
be tameIy surrendered to foreigners, who
threaten TO s'drive us back from the seaboard
as we drove the Indians" We opened our
country as an asylum for the oppressed Of all
nations;" but never have, nor never will, per-
init them to become our masters.
The sentiment appears to be almost Ini-
versal, that the probation of immigrants to
this country, before permitting them TO use
the right OF suffrage, shall be so extended as
TO enable them to become familiar with our
institutions, and identified with the interests
of the country, before they assume the duties
of citizens. To this object we shall lend our
energies, believing as we do, that the inter
ests Of the country demand such restriction.
Justice to ourselves requires it; nor can fu-
ture immigrants complain, as they will know
before landing on our shores, the condition
upon which they will be received as citizens
of the United States.-Daily .Adr.

is wrong to the naturalized citizen, who
wishes to obliteSate all distinction between
himself and the native-thus to perpetuate
the distinction of country and of creed.
1t is cause, and good cause too, for a
union of all who go for our name and our
country, against those who would invoke
any cause and every country for the fur
therance oftheir base party views.
If the Wings and Native Americans
had combined together, there would be
ample explanation and motive for such a
union, in the desperation with which for
eigners are now naturalized, in herds at
the expense and instigation Of Loco FocO-
ism. Thousands, it is boosted here-as
in Cincinnati, it was boasted-thousands
of foreigners, who will tell at the election
against the Wings, are in the process of
being naturalized-and what process
A foreigner, not speaking the language,
often presents himself 10 the Judge, who
examines him, if at all, through an inter-

the applicant himself. to the Judge, and
concerning whose affidavit he can have
none of that sort of assurance which
springs not less from the sanctity of the
oath, than from the manner in which 1t
j is sworn. The whole thing is hurried
indecently over, for the throng is press
ing and the time is short-the fee is paid,
/ and forth comes the foreigner, a respec-
table man, possibly-possibly runaway
thief, or forger; ignorant ofour laws, our
language, our policy, and our candidates,
and By his vote, neutralizcs that of any
native, intelligent, respectable laboreri
mechanic, farmer, merchant or clergy

And it seems to be thought the repe-
tition of this scene can go on for ever
without provoking opposition, without call
! ing forth retaliation.
1t is to abuse human forbearance. Il
