Attractions Conduct.

We learn from the Daytonian, that on the
18th, a large meeting convened at New Bre-
men, Mercer county, to institute measures for
the expulsion of the colored people from that
region. The Daytonian says:
"Stringent resolutions were passed, and
strong fears are entertained that an armed
mob will remove them by violence from their
happy homes. This determination is openly
and boldly avowed by many. Their plan is
somewhat artiully laid. They have warned
the colored people to leave the county or give
security. They have lone neither. They
do not hold themselves responsible to the
mob. The rowdies under this pretext intend
by violence to drive them from the county,
and they threatened to shoot th.m, should
they return.
Now these blacks were the first settlers
in the county,-when the land was almost
one unbroken forest. Many OF them were
citizens before Ohio was formed into a state,
They arc peAceaOlo and industrious citizens
They have never been convicted Of crime,
They have never been accused of theft. They
have good farms. They have good school:
and good churches, and they are in a pros
porous condition. But these are all nothing
Of no value, OF 10 service, 10 a vicious, lazy
drunken, selfish band of lawless rowdies.-

An Artist

| had a great treat last evening in the view
Of some portrait paintings and fancy pieces
from the pencil of a Negro, who has had no
instruction or knowledge of the art. lie has
been working az a common house painter,
and employed his leisure time in these works
Of art, and they ara really beautiful; one fan
cy piece | was much struck with, a fruitand
vegetable basket. Tho Negro painter was
conveying home to his family from market
a large basket filled with every variety Of
vegetables and fruit. AS he reached home
the old wicker basket parted at one Of the
sides, and out tumbled the good provender.
This suggested the idea of the picture to tho
painter, which is correctly and beautifully
drawn. | saw these works in company with
a lady from Nashville in whose family tho
wife of tho artist was reared and brought up
a slave. She requested her former mistress
and patron saint 10 accept two Of tho paint
ings, in humble testimony of the kind treat
ment always received at her hands-the mis-
tress looked at her and said that she did not
think she would be doing right in accepting
these efforts of her husband, that they might
be disposed of for money, and $25 would be
OF great service 10 her and her family. Tho
Negro burst into tears and said, what do !
care for S352 would rather you should
have the paintings than that | should receive
$685." and she added that if her mistress
did not take them, she would be forced L
believe that she placed no value upon them
! turned from this scene between the mistress
and the slave, and asked myself, wherein d.
the kindly feelings Of gratitude which flow
from the heart aud throb in the bosom Of tn,
Negro differ from those OF the white race p

The Star says the people of Laredo, Mexican

as should extend its government over them, as
they receive little or no protection from their own
government against the Indians. 1t was reported
on the frontier, that Gen. Taylor had ordered

JAMES HOBAN, ESQ.

1t becomes our melancholy duty, says the Tn.
ion, to announce the death of James Hoban. Esq.
late United States District Attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia. He died, aged thirty eight
years, on Monday evening, after short but ex-
tremey painful illness. The deceased was a ma
tive of this city, where he had resided all his life
Unaided, the force of his mind and character ele
waited him from comparative obscurity TO dislinc
ton, which made him, as he was, powerful in in
fluence over society for liberal, benevolent, and
patriotic purposes. His hand was ever open to
want, and the energies of his expanded intellect
and feryid eloquence were freely devoted to the
cause of truth and Justice He stood among us
tower Of strength to the oppressed. His afflicted
wife and children must look to Heaven for con.
ISOLATION in this their bereavement. His relatives
will mourn him as the staff on which they leaned
for support, advice and comfort in distress This
community have lost, in his death, one of their
most public spirited citizens. His memory will
live guide to our youth, who are ambitious
to leave behind them reputation for exalted
public and private virtues.
