GENERAL ITEMS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
The steamship CAMBRIA arrived at Boston
on Friday morning, the 9th, bringing advices
from Liverpool to the 10Th and London to the
18th of November.
The political news is of very little impor-
lance.
Cotton remains about the same as at our
previous advices, and the Grain Market has
heen well sustained, but we do not gather
that -four or grain have actually advanced.
1t is understood that the British Cabinet
has determined not 10 open the ports Of that
country for the free admission Of Grain atpres-
ent.
The failure Of the potato crop in Ireland
continues to create a sensation among States
men as we'll as the poor.
The Railway Speculations had very gener-
ally subsidized, and as the frauds and ma
chinery of the operators in fictitious stocks
are more fully developed, it appears that the
amount of money actually diverted from the
usual channels of trade is extremely small
This circumstance has, to some extent, ten-
ded to quiet the money market.
The American Provision trade does not
present much activity.
American Wool appears to command much
attention.
Trade in the Manufacturing Districts is
represented as comparatively Frustrated.

The following report of the proceedings
of this body in relation to the question of sla-
very and Texas, we clip from the Baltimore

ferred TO thejudiciary committee.

Mr.. Adams presented a petition from New
York against the admission Of Texas or any
other Slave State into the Union. He NOV
ed a reference 10 a select committee, consist
ing of one member from each State.
Mr.. Houston moved TO refer it to the COM
mittee on Territories, which motion having
precedence, prevailed.
Mr.. Adams presented several other petitions
Off similar character, which were referred to
the same committee.
DECEMBER, 10th
Mr.. Douglass from the ommIttc on Ter

was laid on the table by a vote of lis to 10.
This was a test vote.

Petitions to be the order Of the day. Mr.. Adj
ans having procured a correction of the Jour
nal, then presented remonstranc againstth the
annexation Of Texas as a Slave State. He
moved the reference to a Select Committee
of one member from each State of the Union.
MIR. Boyd moved to lay the memorial upon

monstrances against it, he should hereafter
content himself with presenting the mem0ri-
ais forwarded to him and submit to what
seemed to be the determined action of the
House. The Speaker said that unless other

BILE. Mr.. Adams then went on to present a
great number of memorials demonstrating a.
gainst the annexation of Texas, all Of which
were laid upon the table.
MIR. Rockwell, of Massachusetts presented
numerous circumstances against annexation
and took occasion to say that rs a member OF
the Committee on Territories, he had not a.
greed TO the Bill reported. He wished that
the Bill tor the admission of Texas had been
referred to the Committee of the Whole,
where it would have been open to debate and
amendment. The members of Mass. Con.
VT. and II. |. all presented circumstances a.
gainst annexation. All were laid upon the

PLAGIARISM.

The WchsriHe Patriot contains an original
article on SANDER, from the pen and scissors
of a correspondent who signs himself, The
Man in the Moon" which we might perhaps
publish, were it not that a considerable por-
ton of it appeared in the editorial columns Of
the Bugle not many weeks since.

THE LAST HoPE OF DEMocRAcY.-The
CJlored Ciiizen of Cincinnati seems very
much in the mist in relation to the principles
of the non voters, and the character of the
American Union. We were ashamed to hear
one of those who have been so crushed be-
meath the tyrannical power Of that engine Of
oppression, laud it as an instrument of good,
planted the standard of Democracy. Hear
what it says:
=" We are unwilling that the principles Of
true Democracy shall fall to rise no more,
for in the event of this Union being dissolved,
We may give up all hope, and settle down
with the conviction that man is not capable
Of self government"
Oh, fudge!

that itwould have been refused. That church
is still in loving fellowship with the great
Methodist Episcopal, that monster Of abomi-
nations. But Notwithstanding there are many,
very many who are yet in the mire and gut
ter of slavery, yet we concluded upon the
whole, that the mass of the people were ra-
ther better than their neighhors. The Bap-
fist church and the Friends meeting occupy
a somewhat different position from most of
churches. The former excludes Shareholders
from its pulpit and communion, and although
1t still holds fellowship with those who adj
nit the STAKEHOLDER and his abrttor, vet
we were assured that if these churches did
not speedily adopt its position they should
withdraw and hold no further Connection
We give due credit for the good intentions,
but a revival minister once said the road to
hell is paved with good resolutions; we sim
cerely hope and trust however that the rcsc-
luton of this CT urch will not pave that path,
but that they will carry it out, and cut loose
from the accused system of slavery. An
other fact worthy of consideration-we were
told that only one member of that church
voted at the last election; had the election
been one Of more importance, we fear it would
not have been thus. Knowing that they fire.
quently had public discussions in their little
village, we suggested that they discuss the
Disunion question-the reply was, we can
get no one who approves of voting under
the L. S. Constitution to oppose us.
II the true State of the Baptist church was
represented to us, and doubtless the state
ment is correct, inasmuch as it was madei in pub
lie by one Of its members, and no exceptions
society could not be very much benefited by
the labors of their present pastor, being them
selves very much in advance Of him, as he
defends voting, and is attached to a party
which supports the blood stained Constitu-
ton, and the government based thereon with
all Its machinery of torture; and furthermore
he defends the practice of committing viii,
those who do ommun with sliveholdcTs.-
We mentioned these facts but they did no.
seem II feel responsible for his position; said
he was not a member of their church, nor I'M
der their control.
At Friends meeting, Fairmount, we found
matters in a somewhat similar condition.
Two Of its members voted last fall, and a
part of the society are making an effort to
sever their connection with the Monthly
Meeting of which they form a part. If this
is lone they will of course be an Independent
body, free from the Quarterly and Yearly
Meetings.
Upon the whole we thought these churches,
(although not free by any means of slavery
in a better and more hopeful condition than
most others of the same denominations.

NEW YORK.

The Wasiington Patriot informs us that
the vote given for Liberty party in n. V,
this year numbers 1868, while last year it
was 1892, a loss Of only ll9. We very
much desire to know how the official returns
of the Liberty party vote of this year in Ohio
will compare with that cast for Birney and
King in the election of A. Will some one
who can do so, give us the aggregate vote for
each, and also the number polled this yearl

OHIO A LAWS

Governor hartley in his message recon-
mends the repeal of these laws, and on the
end of December, the subject was introduced
into the Legislature By a committee from
Cuyahoga county, and by a memorial from
the Orthodox Yearly Meeting of Friends re-
Gently held at Mount Pleasant, the same that
dragged out Abby Kelley for dariag to speak
against practices ten times as black as the
Black Laws which they petition to have re-
pealed.
AS the session advances, other petitions Of
a similar character will be presented, and as
the Wings have the majority in both Houses,
we suspect it will be rather amusing to watch
tho shifts to which they will resort, on the
one hand, to sustain the character which they
claim Of being the only true Liberty party,
and on the other, TO avoid doing aught that
might injure their reputation in the estima-
ton of shareholders and their abettors. 1t
will require considerable d~eXterity to seem to
play both true and false at the same time,
and in the effort we anticipate some rich de-
velopements of party management.
