More .dlrocfiies. The schooner Mary
Chiffon, arrived at Boston from Jeremle
Hsyti, bringing intelligence to the 18th
|ult. Capt. Fales' reports affairs in 9
horrid state at this place. The President
still continued his bloody work Of arrest
ing executing those who stood in his way
Five Of the most respectable citizens Of
Jeremie, had been shot by his orders, pre-
vious to Capt. Fales return from Jamaica,
where he had been to carry number Of
persons who were fleeing from Jeremie,
in order to save their lives. Some fifty
more were in prison awaiting trials. On
the Wednesday after Capt. Faies' arrival,
another trial was had, and four more were
sentenced to be shot. Capt. F. rescued
two Of these latter, and succeeded in get
ting them OH board his vessel in female
clothing, and brought them to Boston, to-
gether with four others who fled for their
lives. The other two were shot in most
brutal manner.
During the execution, the streets were
filled with women, bathed intears, beseech-
ing the President that the lives ofthe con-
demned persons might be spared. He
was however, memorable, and ordered the
execution to proceed. The effect Of I'm
brutal work was such, upon his own SOL
diers, that he became alarmed, and in the
midst Of intense excitement, abandoned
Jeremie, at midnight. 1t was not known
where he had gone.
The only reason given by the President
for his sanguinary acts, was that the con-
demned persons were the friends Of Boy
err. The true reason was bel eyed to be
desire to obtain their property.

The following paragraph from the Troy
N. Y. Bxdga, has travelled the rounds Of
the wing and abolition press. We append
to it the correction Of its false statements
by the Detroit Free Press:
I'm Monroe county. the democratic or.
gan, the advocate, will soon drop Cass and
60 for Van Buren,. Gay Such is the feel
ing in this county that Cass will receive
hardly any support. (b) The same may
be said OF Genesee, shiawassee, and Allie
gan counties. (c) Oakland is perfectly
enraged at the nomination Of Cass, and
Messrs. w. M. McC onnell and w. Coates,
whose democracy is coeval withthe form
alton Of the State, are battling against the
Hunkers. Gay In Lapeer county, Hon.
N. B. Eldreige, the able and efficient Rep
resentative from that county, has renounc-
ed the Western doughface and goes for
Van Buren,. {e) Whole settlements and
colonies, in various parts Of the State,
have declared for Van Buren,. (f) A free
soil campaign paper will be started at
Adrian" (g)
(a) This is false. The Advocate is
one Of the most ardent Cass papers in the
State.
(b) This is false. Cass and Butler
will receive 500 majority in the county.
(c) This ditto. Gen. Cass will carry
all Of these counties. There is no demo-
cratic barnburners in either county.
Gay Oakland county is good for 1000
majority. There is no engagement in the
county.
(e) This is false. Hon. N. B FL
dredge is warm supporter Of Gen. Cass,
and will do all in his power to promote
his election. We know this, for lie has
authorized US to say so. Mr.. E. was an
efficient member Of the last Legislature,
and is now an efficient Cass man.
(D This is false. Mr.. Van Buren, will
not carry single county in the State, nor
a single township. He will fall far short
Of the abolition vote, unless the wings, as
Is rumored, desert Taylor and 60 for him.
Even in that case, he will not get the vote
OF single county, for there is not whig

Resurrection of the Flowers.

We flowers wild, we meet you now,
On the prairie ide, on the sunny brow
OF the steep hill crest; on the weedy brink
OF the purling stream ye seem to drink.
But Why are We found near the ripping wave?
Your beauty needs not the watery lave?
Imourned your death in the year gone by
Aud whispered adieu with fearful eye.
Te died to fulfil the law Divine;
And We rose again. Such death be mine.
And mine TO rise again, like thee,
Clothed with immortality. NJ.

PROSPECTUS
OFTHE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

The subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire new Dress
VIII IN future conduct it jointly, Euiturs
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER PAUL.
The REPORTER win, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though egitimaely resulting from never -Changing,
mmutabe principles-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac.
ter; having for their ultimate object the equalization
both OF the benefits aud burthens of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, Just
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-nWney and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party As long as our party shall adhere to
and enforce these and principles and measures SIM
liar In their character and tendency so long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore,
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dlvldual members of our party-brOught out in con-
formity to its established CUSTOMS for stations of
honor proit-only long they truly ref ct its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established uSages.
The vital importance to party especially at the
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion Of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat Of State government, must,
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci-
ated, to require any thing than bare allusion
To 1t on this occasion. We are now on the eve of
State and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy Of Iowa will, besides deciding W On
various other subjects of vast importance to us as
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has so vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad aided and comfOrted by ingori-
Gus, lily disguised and trairous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will evince their appreciation of the consid-
erations here presented, by their efficient aid and
support. ...
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER will devote it
self with what of energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures Of i'm
in young and lourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens at large
News and Observation-Disclosures and Foreign
Miscellany-the instructive and the amusng-will
receive their due share of space and attention keep
ing in view the fact that while "varey is the spice
of lfe, it serves, in eminent degree to give life
and zest to popular journal.

The Guilt assd Misery OF Large
Cities.

The editor of the New York Herald re-
Gently took Sunday walk through some
Of the purlieus Of that city. At one ofthe
wretched houses in that quarter, he found
a girl Of fifteen delicate in appearance, and
possessing considerable beauty.
She was sitting on stoop, alone. Her
hair was of dark auburn color, neatly
braided, and secured with silver comb;
her features were good, with a Grecian
nose, and dark brown eyes, full and ex-
pressive. But upon that countenance was
look Of sadness, and as she supported
her chin upon her hand, seemed wrapt in
deep meditation. She was accosted by
several rough looking sailors, to not one
Of whom she paid the slightest attention.
She sat for some minutes, when she dis
covered am.n, apparently about fifty years
of age, approaching her. In an instant
her cou.tenace changed, and she looked as
though she feared his very appearance
When he reached the spot where she was
seated, he made use OF some vulgar lang
uage, and ordered her at once to go Out
of.the street. His countenance evidently
bore the marks ofintemperance, and it ap.
peared that through the wretched slavery
Of that young woman, he is enabled to car
nv out his debauchery. Upon inquiry
the startling fact was disclosed that the
girl was his own daughter, and in her
younger days, when prosperity gladdened
the hearts Of her family, been taught the
rAdiments Of music, and was now hired
by the base and heartless father, to the
keeper OF miserable den, to entertain the
gang which nightly assemble, upon The
piano, and by singing songs which shoule
mike the vilest blush. She may have
fallen into the vices which surround her
and thrown herself at the hands Of the
brute whom she calls father, into life o.
inramy. How many are thus forced from
the paths Of virtue by the designing, ane
yet there seems no law by which the de.
signer may be punished.
