grow more manageable at every attempt to

refuse to turn, although they know that their
leaders have turned. More than eight thousand
of them dare to remember that few months ago
the democracy of New Hampshire declared
against Texas and all the iniquity of annexation,
and although they know that their leaders have
eaten their own words, they obstinatey persist in
opinions which are nearly year old And what
is worse, without the aid of these traitors to de-
mocracy, the democracy of Hew Hampshire is in
the minority. It's we'll that this detection has
not occurred until New Hampshire has aided in
giving to the democracy such new accessions of
power in the South West as will compensate for
this unexampled treachery Such refractory
conduct on the part of New Hampshire, the bull

ANOTHER PARKERsBURGH MovE.

ANOTHER PARKERsBURGH MOVE. Our
Virginia neighbors are not content with having
kidnapped and imprisoned our citizens, and hold
ing them in prison. under pretence of having by
construction, committed a crime in Virginia al
though they are known not to have been without
the limits of Ohio. They are not content with
violence and outrage upon the rights of the citi-
zens OF the State and we are now informed that
the Grand Jury at Parkersburgh have found bills
for aiding and assisting in the escape of Harwoods
Slaves, to wit: Burden Stanton, Titus Shotwel,
and Joseph Romaine. The Governor of Virginia
has been solicited to make a requsition upon the
Governor OF Ohio, to deliver these men up as fu-
gitives from Virginia. True these men have not
been In Virginia, nor done any act without the
limits of the State of Ohio; but what of that
Certain men in Wood County have, no doubt, de-
termined to seek redress for the loss of several
slaves, from the three citizens of Ohio, or TO pun
ish them according to the laws of Virginia for
acts done in Ohio, and to make the Courts, the
Executive OF Virginia, and the forms of law sub
servlent to their views. The feelings of the citi-
zens OF Ohio have been Justly excited by these
violent and outrageous proceedings, and we had
hoped that when the time had elapsed for passion
to subside, our neighbors would more carefully
regard our rights, and adopt some course of pro-
ceeding less offensive and conforming in some
degree at least, to the forms of law and Justice
but we are disappointed. The determination
seems to be to push these wrongs to their limit.

The CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS The St.
Louis Republican OF the goth, contains another
letter from the editor, at Warsaw, giving further
accounts OF the disturbances at that place. 1t
will be seen by the following paragraph that there
is now prospect of an adjustment OF the diff
culties between the contending parties.
The Twelve Elders, Or principal men of the
Mormons, have addressed proposition TO the
Ants, which was received this evening. and
which, trust, may put final end to this war
The Twelve propose that they will leave Nau-
VOC and the county next spring, provided hostili-
ties are suspended, and the yexatious suits which
they change the Ants to have instituted against
them are withdrawn, and they are allowed peace
lully to dispose of their property and prepare for
their removal. They have appointed commit
Tee OF i've to correspond with committee of an
equal number on the part of the old settlers.
ms proposition was well received by many of
the citizens of Warsaw, and if they do not reject
tOecause OF the language in which it is addressed
10 them, Qhey thinking it disrespectfuI it will
most likely lead to settlement, and to the remo
val OF the Mormons from among them. It is
very desirable that this should be the result
The editor Of the Republican thinks from
careful observation that from seventy TO one hmm
dred houses have been destroyed by the Ami
mormons.

HEDGEHoGs.-One of the most interesting
facts in the natural history of the hedgehog is that
announced by Mr.. LEM, and which is now con-
firmed by Professor Buckland that is, that the
most violent poisons have no effect upon it--a fact
which renders it of peculiar value in the forests,
where it appears to destroy a great number of
noxious reptiles. MIR. LEM says he had once in
his house femal hedgehog, which he kept in a
large box, and which soon became very familiar.
He often put into the box some adders, which she
attacked with great avidity, selling them by the
body, the head or the tail, and did not appear
alarmed or embarrassed when they coled them
selves around her body. Neither herself nor the
young she was sucking seemed to suffer from
the bites of the venomous reptiles. Palles, also,
assui es US that the hedgehog can eat about one
hundred cantharides without experiencing any
of the effects which that insect taken inwardly
produces on men, dogs Or cats. A German ply
stefan who had made the hedgehog peculiar OBJ
ect of study, gave it strong dose OF prussc acid,
of arsenic, ofopium, and of corrosive subimate,
none of which did it any HARM The hedgehog
in its natural state, only feeds on pears, apples,
and other fruit, when it can get nothing it likes
better. Its ordinary food consists of worms, sugs,
snails and adders.
