he had made for his own! Now was
Mr.. Birney pursued by the rapacious
Shareholders of his native State with Bit
ter hate. Every avenue TO elevation,
prosperity, or even practice in his pro-
fession, was cut off. Nor did their ma
levolence stop here. His very life became
in danger, and he was compelled to flee
for safety TO Ohio. Fired with the love
of liberty and justice, he commenced
paper in the city of Cincinnati called the
Philanthropist. devoted to the advocacy of
the greet rights Of mankind. Was he
unNolested here2 No-in the free State
of Ohio the slave spirit found him out,
and stirred up the mob to destroy his
press and life Twice was his press
thrown into the river, and on the last
occasion he had 20 flee for his life. He
came 10 the city of New York, and there
devoted himself to the advocacy of the
sama great principles until, from abso-
lutte necessity, he was compelled to retire
to his profession and his wild land farm
in Michigan, to secure for himself and
family the necessaries of life. He is now
the farmer OF Saginaw, a candidate for
the Presidency, BY the unanimous voice
Of the true friends of Liberty in the U.
States.
Such, then, is the brief history and
character of James G., Birney. As con.
trasted with the candidates of the slave
parties, how does he look? How do
you like him! Will you vote for linn or
for them? Aye or nay. No lodging.
Be honest with yourselves your better
natures, and sell yourselves no more to
slavery or the tools of slavery. G.

Burning ofthe Kentucky State
Prison,

Correspondence Of The Tribune.
FRANKFORT, Ky. Aug. 81, lS45-7 o.
clock. A. VI.
H GRErLY, Esq.-Den Sir: have
just arrived in the city. Last night one
of the greatest scenes of excitement took
place here that has ever been witnessed.
About 10 o'clock the State Prison was
discovered to be OH fire. There are in
the Prison more than one hundred and
sixty convicts. The flames spread so
rapidly through the workshops that there
seemed to be but one way to save the lives
OF the prisoners, and that to open the cells
and allow the all to leave the prison
walls. The young men ofthe City rallied
at once-repaired to the arsenal-broke
it open without ceremony took out four or
FIVE hundred stand of arms-organi1ed at
once and put themselves under the com-
mand f the Governor. The imploring
cries of the prisoners for relief grew more
and more earnest. Every building with
in the walls was in flames except the bull
ding containing the cells, and the pro-
vision house. The reservoir which sup
plies the city with water had been partially
cleaned out ON Friday and the water was
no; let on until the alarm was given and
the flames were permitted to move on
unchecked. The Governor arranged his
men, entered the prison and addressed
the convicts. lie told them if they at
tempted to escape every man would be
shot. They fell upon their knees and
begged but to be delivered from the horrid
death that threatened them and they would
submit TO any thing. Just as the Cover
nor was about to open the doors Of the
prison to the conricts, 4 supply OF water
was obtained, and the engines began TO
play upcn the building containing the
cells. The Governor then left, assuring
the prisoners that they should be rescued
If tic building could not he pr reserved.
Fortunately for all, they were successful
in preserving the buildings above-naned
and in keeping the prisoners within their
cells.
have just visited the ruins. Nothing
has been saved of the machinery or mate
rials Of the workshops. About fifty of
the convicis were at work in exiinguish-
ing the fire in different parts Of the yard.
Most Of the were from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-fre years ofage. They look excedeeing-
IL detected. We have Icing been of opin-
ion that it is much cheaper to prevent
crime than to punish it :: and we most
sincerity hope that the attention Of our
Legislature will be directed to this sub
ject. The true object Of punishment is
not attained by our present mode of State
Prison disipline. Respectfully yours,

My DEAR SIR: You will be a little
surprise TO receive letter from me da-
ted at this place. | came, of course to
witness the Young Mems Mass owen
tion. with a few friends, from the Upper
Mississippi, and it was indeed "A MON
STER A.EETING." The city of Balti-
more was once famed for the splendor of
her civic and military professions bu,
no exhibition of the kind, in her palmiest
day, surpassed this of the noble N hig
youths Of Tennessee. The operation Of
the mechanic arts was carried on beauti-
fully the press throwing off perfectly prin-
ted forms, and the loom its fine faDrics.
The attempt to describe the magnificent
pageant would be worse than foolish, for
have neither the time nor the talent and
| sincerely deplore nv utter incapacity to
give you even faint idea Of the great
beauty and sublime effect of the part
which the ladies, God bless them, so gal
lantiy bore-I say CALAMITY, for they bore
aIofi, on satin banners, fine and chaste
and lovely as themselves, and white as
the driven snow, the full array Of all the
States of all this grand Ccnledracy.
Twenty-six open carriages, drawn by IF
ty-two SPLENDID horses, bowling the neck
and champing the bit, were crowded with
passengers, the noble mstrons and pretty
maidens of this beautiful land.

BY the above it will be seen that this
Black Wing Tariff, which Mr.. Polk has
pledged IN destroy, has increased the reven-
ne at the port of New York alone, for the
first six months of Al, nearly seven millions
Of dollars. II will also be seen by the same
table that The export of domestic goods has
increased during the same period, little up
wards of six millions of dollars.
What better evidence can be wanted that
the tariff promotes foreign aud domestic trade

ofthc SJh inst. is received. AS to your first
inquiry, can safely say, as far as my obser-
walton extends. there has always heen friend
| ly understanding between the employers and
employed in the manufacturing IS ahlsh-
menis of this town. | have never seen petty
tyrarny exhibited on one side nor slavish sub
mission on the other. The operatives are
generally well paid, believe. and are at lih-
ery to purchase their goods and provisions
where il is most agreeable TO them; and
consider their moral, social and intellectual
condition good as compared with other class
es of our industrious citizens: and l have
never known any one discharged from any of
these establishments Gu account of his pro-
Tossing different political opinions or voting
in opposition TO his employers.
So far from thinking the manufactures in
imical to the farming interest here. have al
ways considered them the main source of az
ricultural prosperity i'll this Town. Since the es
tablishment OF manufactures here, the price of
land has materially advanced; farms that were
hardly worth the expense Of cultivation are
now among the most productive in the coun-
try; and consider the immediate location Of
the factories in our midst a specidi advantage,
inasmuch ds j; furnishes ready market for
our vegetables. fruit, and other products.
which would afford less profit if transported
greater distance. Ii is a common remark
when the factories are in a prosperous cen
diiion, thai money is more plenty among the
people in Stockport than in auy Other town
IN the county: aud this is easily understood
when il is known that over Sl25,0D9 a year
is paid out by the factories for wages, a great
deal Of Of which is expended in The town;
in addition 10 which. large sums are paid by
them 10 the farmers for wood, lumber, wool.
&c.
You allude TO my political associations. |
have always been member of the Demo
cratic party, but there is great difference
between MIR. Van Buren, and opposition to
the Annexation OF Texas. and Mr.. Polk, the
Iwothird rule, no protection and the imme- |
Giate Annexation of Texas, which will tend |

which, if carried out. would give the tew the
power over the many. principle not TO be
