Earthquake. About FIVE minutes before five
o'clock, Tuesday morning, there was an earthquake,
which was very sensibly felt in this city and vcin
ity, accompanied by the usual rumblng noise
The shock was sufficient to cause the rafting of
doors and window shutters and TO render the os-
cillation of the walls Of houses distinctly VISIBLE.
The motion seemed TO proceed in direction from
northwest to southeast and lasted several seconds.
We hear Of the shock at Springfield, al the same
instant, where it is said TO have been of longer du
ration than could have been produced by a canon,
OF the explosion of powder mill. At Worcester,
bells were rung in houses. Brantree, Dedham,
Concord and various intermediate places felt the
shock At Newburyport the time is fixed at five
O'clock At Jamaica Plain, n chimney was shaken
down, A writer from Beverly says, ait sounded
as though dozen railroad trains passing over
my house." The Traveller says The Magnetic
intensity at the observatory at Cambridge, was
greatly disturbed by the shock. The vibration
appeared 10 be in direction north and south, ana
to have continued for cond or two. We sa1
look with interest for r9 fro. South Americ a
which will probably brin. us th1 intelligence of {
severe earthquake in that srction Of the world thj
effects Of which we have slightly felt
| Some early Users assert that there was slight
,hocl fe.t in this vicinity abont half past four
From all the late accounts which hear, il is
probable that the great shock was generally felt
throughout New England BoSiOn Courier Of the

power that have always led 10 the desiruc-
ton OF the liberties Of the people; ard no
man is true and genuine DeaaocrIt who
is 10 favor Of taxing the people for any
other purpose than the economical support
of government. The moment taxation Is
advocated for any other purpose, the great
principles OF democracy are violated, and
the many are plnnderel for the benefit of
the few.
1t is for his opposition to the abuse of
the ta2lng power, that the people OF this
State wish to see him elevated to the u.
s. Senate. All his feelings and sympa-
tbies are with the masses-he is friend
in whom they can trust--a democrat in
whom there is no guile. All admit his Ia.
Tents, and his ffnness and consistency as
a politician. And again reterate the
expression that he is the peoples candi
date, and their choice; and woe be to the
politicians OF the State if they cheat the
people out OF their choice. LocoFoco.

is stated in the Washington correspond
ence of the Richmond Enquirer, that Mr..
A. Johnson, of Tenn, member of the
House of Representatives and a very es-
timahle gentleman, was taught by his
wife TO read since his marriage. He is a
tailor by trade, and, it is said, yet carries
on his trade at MS shop al home. Il is well
added that his standiny in Congress is II
strong illustration of the excelence of
our Institutions. Naive mind and labor,
aided by the opportunities which are at the
commanded OF every citizen, have made
him what he is.

have yet learned except what he has said
since he was nominated. / must acknowl-
edge that in the few words he spoke yester-
day on that subject he talked Just like an alb
o%iifionist. He will perhaps be quite ultra on
the subject when he gets up near the lake
shore, but anli-slavery voters ought to inform
themselves how he was regarded by the anti
slavery people in Butler county, whether on
their side or against them.
Second day next is tho day assigned for
the discussion of the Black Laws in the
House, | shall stay a few days longer than l
intended on that account.
The temperance bill has not yet passed
through, several interesting debates have ta-
ken place upon it. The bill provides that a
majo. ity Of the voters Of any township, &C.,
by demonstrating against the granting of Ii
cense may prevent any being granted and
that the court should continue TO withhold
until a majority should petition for ii. Moro
than twelve thousand persons have petitioned
the present Legislature for this or a similar
law. When this bill came up the other day
A. Foust moved its indefinite postponement.
J. Finn said selling liquor was wrong, and
to license ali evil was erroneous. He would
have the license law repealed and offered an
amendment to that effect. c. L.Vallandigham
asked the gentlman from Hamilton whether
he would vote TO repeal and then to prohibit
The sale of strong drink. He said that gen.
tleman had got himself into this position.-
Finn said he would talk of the prohibition
when it came up-did not seem to relish the
idea Of taking either horn of the dilemma
]. p. Cutler was in favor of the entire prohi-
bition of selling strong drink. B. S. Cowen
was himself in favor Of prohibiting all sales
Of a less quantity than one quart, but thought
the public mind not ready to repeal the Ii
cense law. S. Mason thought it would de-
tract from the ~'.dignity" of the Court to pass
this bill, we ought to repose the greatest con-
fdence in a Court. He was in favor of the
"let alone" doctrine. The act would be a
fearful-a most pernicious one. The Court
by the passage of this bill would incur tho
"stigma of a partizan to the cold water
cause!"
The bill was most ably defended by T.
w. Upton, after which the vote was taken
upon its indefinite postponement and lost
Yeas 81, Nays 80.

proposed end. We would ask such, TO re-
CONSIDER their position, and inquire if there is
not "a more excellent way" a higher ground

WIN the present leaders of the Liberty party,

d~nt-siavery party, and urged good and suli-
