A BAD Trick. - The Tribune notices an
insidious attempt to foist into the House Bill
for the Government Of Oregon virtual &C
acknowledgement by Congress Of right to
carry slaves into Territory South of the Mis-
souri, Compromise line. 1t is contained in a
preamble attached to the Wilmot provlso
clause, assigning as reason for the insertion
of that clause, that the territory lies north of
the Compromise Lne-36 deg 80 min.
Mr.. Douglass of Ills, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories is the author of this
characteristic piece of servility. We hope
the Senate will reject the amendment, but if
it goes to the House, the Free Soil majority
of &c will take care Of it.
OREGoN--THE New DoDGE.-NIr. Doug
lass's caveat with regard to the Introduction
of Slavery in Oregon is worded as follows
"That inasmuch as the territory north of
SO degrees 80 minutes is declared free by the
Missouri Compromise, be it enacted" Sc

KILLED AND EATEN.

Political CANNIBALIsM,' says the
last number of the Ludlow Genius of Liberty,
has sacrificed that paper to the remorsclcss
nav of the Green Mountain Freeman. Its
dying squeals, as it disappears in the horrid
thorax of Mr. Poland, the Montpelier Ogre,
are among the most pathetic things which
ever narrowed mp the soul. Hear 'em
"The Genius dies, but dies martyr to the
cause of humanity. Its cxccutioners are the
leading spirits Of the party protesting to be
the embodiment of the principles it was es-
tablished to support. Its destruction was
conceived in avaricc, and accomplished by
the operation Of an assemblagc Of all the low,
sordil, and base passions that ever wranged
in the bosom of a JudaS or n Catalina. 1t
was not merely fratricdcl act, but a species
of political cannibaliSm which, perhaps, was
never exhibited in more disgusting manner
than it has been in this instance, by the pure,
patriotic, wire-workers Of the liberty party i'll
Vermont"
Well, the Genius people ought to know,
better than we, the character of their former
political associates; but really we shrink from
such an exhibition of total depravity as ap-
pears in the expose given by them of some
Of the unprincipled and reckless leaders of
this Oiberty) party" and especially of the
treacherous, a,aricious, remorseless and
unscrupulous Editor of the Freeman"
In fine, one editor retires from the Liberty
party, while the other goes with it, plump
into the Free Soil" cauldron, and will try
to publish newspaper from the Genius Of
fee called the Free Soil Union.
All very good, Asthe Anh-Slayfy Stand
ard says, it will not require very large
tub to catch such a whale," and VIC sincerely
rejoice that these folks can be induced to
trust their hopes of building political fortunes
on the ruins of the United States, to contro-
yersy as sure of speedy, righteous and
peaceful settlement, as is this of Free Soil.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GIRL IN ORWELL.


One of the most singular and melancholy cases Of
suicide which have ever come under our notice,
occurred in Orwell on Sunday morning, the 18th
inst. Miss Harriet Pardoc, beautiful, spriShtly
and intelligent girl of SIXTEEN formerly of Shoreham,
but for three years past an inmate of the family OF
Bella Buel, Esq, of Orwell, went out as she was ac-
customed to do, to read in the shelter of some shade
trees on the premises, taking newspaper with her.
As she did not return in the afternoon, alarm was
felt, and 4 search commenced. Mr. Buel, in COM
pany with Mr.. ]. L. Tenncy, to whom we are IL
dcbtcd for these particulars after seeking her with
out success, in Shoreham and elsewhere, at length
on Monday discovered Her lifcless form suspended
by the neck, by means of her apron, to branch ola
tree, in small wood at short distance from her
home. She had piled wall ofstoncs around the tree,
by which to reach the bough and from which she
launched herself into eternity. The newspaper lay
at her feet and the grass and leaves where her feet
barely approached the ground. were much disturbed
by her vain struggles, after it too late, 10 release
herself. Nomotvc or cause for the act can be con-
jectured, save temporary arrangement Something
slightly fantastic was noticed in the arrangement of
her dress on that morning, which confirms this sup
position.
