thus far no satisfactory clue has been obtained
likely TO lead TO the recovery of the money
Yesterday a negro, we'll known TO the public
&c Bob Moore, and one of New Englands fair
daughteEs, young woman who gave her ma me
as Maria Hutchinson, were arrested a. house
on Mulberry street, on suspicion of having
committed the robbery. On questioning the
latter respecting her acquaintance with Moore,
she sta ed that she was the daughter of res
pectable AID influential citizen of Vermont,
and that about SIX weeks ago, in consequence
of an alteration VIII her father, she ran away
from home. and in Bosom got aquainted with
a colored sailor, named Hutt hInson, whom she
married, and avowed her intention oil return
ing hone with him. in order to notify her
parents as much as possible, on account o. the
course Of conduct which they had pursued to-
ward her. After being married to Hutchinson
about fortnight, he shipped on board a vessel
- s"e'rn rather precipitately, having previous
az become acquainted with Moore and intro

OLD lack IN THE HOMES OF HIS 0PPosEErs.

OLD lack IN THE HOMES OF HIS OPPONENTS
Detroit, the home of Gen. Cass, and hereto
fore a stronghold of locofocoism, has given &
heavy majority against him and in favor oil
Gen. Taylor. Carroll county, KY, the home
of Gen. Butler, decided locofoco county, has
gone against him and in favor of Old lack by
handsome majority. And last, not least,
yanderburgh county. Indiana, the home OF
Gen. Lane and several other heroes Of thy bat
tie Of Buena Vista, where in August last tile
locofocos had majority of SO, the Wings have
now carried the county by the handsome ma
jority of 81! Better yet,-Kuight township

the locofocos had majority of 10, the wings
have succeeded in tying their opponents, and
but Tor an accident would have carried IT, one
of the Old Hero's friends, who served with him
at Buena Vista, having cut all the electors
names off his ticket and voted for Gen. Tay-

a commentary this is upon the course pursued
BY the those unprinciped demagoeues who
have been for months stumping it over the
country abusing and slandering Gen. Taylor
How contemplate they must feel when re-
viewing their past course and when they refer
to the verdict that has been recorded against
them. Verify, they have their reward

IRELASD.-The sentence Of Smith O'Brien

lRELAND.-The sentence OF Smith 0'Brien
has awakened feelings of pity and indignati ton
in this country. He is to be hung, his head
cut off, and his body to be divided into four
quarters-the bloody fragments TO be dispose
OF as her Majesty shall think fit! There is an
extra touch Of savageism about this, that
should bring the blood to the face of every En-
glishman. As to the righlfulness OF the sen
tence, (leaving out Of view the butchery alter
hangins) opinions will be different. Tbose
who believe that England has rightiul author
ity over Ireland, that it was acquired Justly
and has been maintained righteously, viii re-
eognise in Smith O'Brien a rebel against his
legitimate Sovereign. and in the sentence pro-
nouaced against him, vindication of the ma
jesty Of the law. But even they will incline
To the side of mercy-even they will find in the
wretchedness of Ireland, and deep sympathy
excited in such heart as that of O'Brien, his
generous delusion, as they may deem it, and
in the suppression Of the movement to which
he gave life, reasons foT the interpostion OF the
clemency of the Sovereign.
Ga the other hand, they who (as we do) be-
lieSe that England has 90 other right to rule
Iceland than that which fraud and force can
confer, will admire O'Bren as generous self
sacrificing patriot, lament his misfortunes,
and abhor the sentence against him. as murder
under the form of law. We deeply regret
that he and his associates resorted tn violence
10 accomplish a glorious purpose-not that

insiate himself BY force in the rights God has

deeds of our revolutionary fathers?-but the
people of Ireland were not prepared for such
an attempt; besides we think that revolutions
accomplished by moral instrumentalities, al
though longer in the porcess, are more substan-
,ial in their issues.
There is hope that the unfortunate prisoner
may be pardoned. There is no reason to be-
Iieve that his execution will give peace to Ire
land, or security to British domination.

Away, away through the sightless air
Stretch forth your iron thread;
For would not dim my sandals fair
With the dust we tamely tread;
Aye, rear it up on its million piers
Let II reach the world around,
And the journey We make in hundred years
Ill clear at single bound!
Tho | cannot toll like the groaning slave
Ye have fettered with iron skill,
To ferry you over the boundless wave.
Or grind in the noisy mill;
Let him sing his giant strength and speed;
Why, single shaft of mine
Would give that monster flight, indeed,
To the depths OF the ocean brine.
No, no. I'm the spirit of light and love,
To my unseen hand tits given,
To pencil the ambient clouds above,
And polish the stars of heaven
/ sea- tier the golden rays of fire
: On the horizon lar below
And deck the skies where storm expire,
With my red and dazzling glow.
The deepest recesses of earth are mine
traverse its silent core;
Around me the starry diamonds shine,
And the sparkling fields of ore;
And oft leap from my throne on high
To the depths of the oceans caves,
Where the fadeless forests o. coral lie,
Far under the world of waves.
My being is like lovely thought
That dwells in sinless breast;
A tone OF music that ne'er was caught

l burn in the bright and FURNISHED halls,
Where the fountains of sunlight PLAYS
Where the curtain of gold and opal falls,
Ger the scene of the dying day.
With a glance cleave the sky in twain,
light il with a glare,
When fall the boding drops OF rain,
Throughout the darkly curtaned air;
The rock built towers, the tUrrets gray.
The piles ola thousand years,
Have not the strength of poters clay.
Before my glittering spears.
From the Alps or the highest Andes cras,
From the | ais of eternal snow,
The dazzling folds of nv fiery flag
Clean DER the world below;
The earthquake heralds my coming power,
The avalanche bounds away,
And bowling storms, at midnight hour,
Proclaim my kinsly sway.
Ye tremble when my legi ons come
When my quivering sword leaps out
Der the hills that echo my thunderdrum,
And rend with my joyous shout:
Yequail on the land or upon the seas,
Ye stand in your fear aghast,
To see me burn the stalwart trees,
Or shiver the stately mast.
The hieroglyphs on the Persian wall,
The letters ofhigh command,
Where the prophet read the tyrant's fall,
Were traced with my burning hand;
And oft in fire have wrote since then,
What angry Heaven drcrceI-
Bat the sealed eyes of sinful men
Were all too blind to read.
At last the hour of light is here,
And kings no more shall blind
Nor the bigois crush with craven fear,
The forward march of mind;
The words of truth an freedoms rays
Are from my pinions hurled,
And soon the sun OF better DAYS
Shall raise upon the world.
But away, away, through the siShtless air.
Stretch forth your iron thread;
For would not soil my sandals fair
With the dust We tamely tread;
Aye. rear i. upon its million piers
Let ii circle the W orld around,
And the journey We make in hundred years

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. %.

nEWhen it was in contemplation to NOM
mate Gen. Taylor, and shortly after his nomi-
alton, many of his opponents asked in sheer
ing manner, what would foreign nations think
Of us, were we to place such man at the head
of the Government. But it now seems that
even people of foreign nations recognise his
virtue and his worth. And at once the plan
of attack is changed. The English press speak
we'll of him, say the Locofocos, and, therefore,
he is an enemy to his country--an aristocrat--
a, Heaven knows what, that is terrible be-
sides. These gentlemen forget however, with
what delight and complaceucy their presses
noticed the approval, BY the English Press, of
Folks message-especially the part contain
ing his free trade doctrines. They forget that
Folks Secretary's report was republished entire
in England, with great laudation. They are
also unmindful, that during the last Presiden-
tial campaign, Englishmen sent over money
here, 10 circulate free trade documents, and
thus assist in the election of Polk, 1t appears,
then, that it is perfectly right and proper fol
Englishmen to send money to this country
to aid the election of Mr. Polk, but it is a
sort of mark of high treason in Gen. Taylor-a
kind of "giving aid and comfort pretty
sure evidence that he is foe to his county
that the English press commends his talents

TELEGRAPH BY SoUND.-The Norwich ICon.
Courier says-s.We have just been called upon
by gentleman who has visited our city for
the purpose, he tells US, oftesting an invention
for conveying sound to an al most unlimited
distance, at the same time retaining the artic-
ulation so perfectly, that two men standing,
the one in Norwich and the other in Boston,
shall be able to converse with the same ease as
if standing face to face. The very idea strikes
one as almost preposterous, and yet the gentle
man alluded to seems very confident of its en-
tire practacability. He states that he has the
necessary machinery.no constructing in this
city, and that, ina few days it will be COM
pleted and ready to be submitted to the test Of
experiment.

The CRISIS IN IRELAND.-The last news By
Telegraph informed US, that the blow for Ire
lands emancipation was about being struck
that the Privy Council had assembled in Dub
lin, and that the air was heavy with cries for
Ireland's redemption. That the time has ar
rived for striking decisive blow is beyond
question-to procastirate is to give the op-
pressor additional strength. The government
has instituted system of persecution-impu-
IDENTIFY styled Trial by Jury-which in six
months will rob Ireland of every lrishman- on
her soil, and force them into an ignominous
and interminable submission The Harvest
being in, now is the time to strike, and we
have every assurance both public and private
that, before the fall is over, the eventful strug-
gle will commence, may God! The dispenser OF
justice and truth, assist the struggling patriots
and enable them TO redeem themselves and
country, from the incurable tyranny of their
heartless oppressors.

nEThe Louisville Journal says: The Loco

OCEThe Louisville Journal says: The Loco
foco editors in Indiana are continually engaged
in denouncing Gen. Taylor because, in making
up his official report of the battle of Buena Wis
ia in accordance with the reports of Generals
Wool, Lane, and others, he alluded to the fact
that the second Indiana regiment retreated du-
ring the action. They do not pretend to deny
the fact that the regiment retreated, while they
utter bitter and malicious denunciations against
Taylor for mentioning the fact as inoffensively
as possible.
The Indiana State Journal states that Gen.
Cass, in 1914, in speaking of the conduct of the
militia called out to defend Buffalo, de-
clared that they sail, except very few of
them, behaved in the most cowardly manner,
and fed without firing musket." Gen. Tay-
iors language was much less offensive, and,
if he is to be censured for abusing volunteers,
what ought 10 be said of Cass?
