The State Central Committee OF tie

The State Central Committee OF tie
Free Democracy. have published an cd
dress. in which they recommend that the
following questions be propounded to the
candidates for Congress:
!. VIII you oppose the organization
Of any territorial government which does
not contain the principles of the Wilnot
Proyiso!
2. VIII you vote against the admission
Of any slave States,
3 VIII you use your vote and in
nucnce as TO relieve Congress from all re-
sponsibility for the existence and ccntin-
uancc OF slavery wherever its constitu-
tional power extends!
4. VIII YOU vote for the immediate alb
clifton of the slave trade in the District OF
Columbia,
The Committee say that an "aliirma-
tive answer TO which should. we think, be
an indispensable condition to our sup
port This is the platform Of the Free
Democracy then of Indiana. Were we
a candidate for Congress and the above
questions were propounded 70 us, We
should answer, each and all Of Them en-
rhatically and distinctly III the afiirma-
tive, and would have done 50 long before
the present Free Soil party had an exis-
tcncc or a name.

Fanae.-If there ever was a principal
implanted in the human heart, for great
and noble purpose, that principle we
belive to have been the love Of distinction.
1t was desire, holy and ardent desire
TO be the first and the foremost in the
world. But how basely has this been
perverted from its legitimate purpose.
God implanted this love Of distinction for
great and good end. Man has wrongly
applied this principle. He has sought its
use solely for The purpose of elevation.
without regard to the means used for his
elevation, or the end to be attained by it.
The great desire has been, to have the
name "noised abrod." No, true fame
consists in an elevation Ivy good works
and nobledeeds. This is the fame that
God planted in mans heart. But man
has degraded it, as he has almost every
thing else. 1t is now productive of i'm
mence evil. 1t has filled the world with
blood and sorrow, and its effects are seen
in almost every direction.

MARRIED, YET NO WIrE.-The Provi-
dence r. !. Star tells Of a singular divorce
case that was decided before the Supreme
Court Of that State last week. One Mr..
R. petitioned to have the bonds dissolved
between him and his lady love on the
ground that he was husband only in
name-his wife granting him nothing more
than the simplest Platonic privileges. The
lady, it came out on evidence, married for
the sake of company, but had no idea Of
taking any ofthe responsibilities Of the mar
ried state; she had no taste that way, and
SO, to render assurance doubly sure, al
night she would tie herself up in cam
vass bag, to guard against accidents! The
Court took pity on the poor fellow, and
gave him chance to try his luck again,
by granting the prayer Of his petition.

Canadian Sentiments.

One Of the Canadian papers give the
following As fair specimen of the talk Of
the mal-contents there:
/ They say they must and will have an
nexation-for they cannot, and will not dc
without it. One old tory we heard Of the
other day, who, after coming home from
the indignation meeting, id the Queen
and Lafontaine, and swore he could stand
it no longer. "Here," said he, 81 am,

Societies, and l found could, when my
turn came, THAT is, when l would be
goose enough to overbid the jackass who
was borrowing money there, get what
required, at an interest which, when
carefully calculated it, l found would be
about IS per cent" Now" said our
old tory, s'if Canada was annexed to the
United States, l should not take $50, 900,
for my property; and before a week, l
could sell one fifth part of it, clear myself
of debt, and be independent for ever. D

you must bear in mind that this is the

Is but little rain, and therefore but little
sickness; but the balance of the year is
one almost uninterrupted season of rain

What can l say of the inhabitants of this
little neck Of land? Certainly nothing in
their favor. They are mixture Of Span
ish. Indian, and Negro-the latter pre-
dominating to very considerable extent.
They are proud ignorant, dissipated
treacherous, and lying race, and blush
to admit, that little or no effort is made,
by the civil or ecclesiastical authorities Of
the country to mitigate the evil. The most
bare-faced frauds are practised upon the
Americans, and the public authorities
neither disapprove nor punish. This
species of outrage has become SO common
of late, that the Americans have finally
been thrown upon the dangerous alterna-
tive of assuming the functions of Judge,
jury, and executioner. They have taken
the law into their own hands, and when
an imposition is sought to be practised up
on them, they chastise with becoming
severity. 1t has had a most beneficial
effect upon the American interest, for it
has taught the natives that there is a sup
erior race of mes to themselves, and that
while the respect the laws, civil and soci-
al, Of foreign nation. they will not allow
their property to be wrongfully taken from
them, and their persons insulted and out
ragged with IMMUNITY. Of late, they are
as timid of the Americans, as child is
wont to be of cold, misan,hropic parant.
In fact, they are absolutely afraid of them;
and how shovld it be otherwise? They
behold thousand or fifteen hundred men
and boys, literally loaded down with guns,
pistols, and bowie-knives. Really, it is
larcial to witness the enormous load that
old men Of three-score, and boys of tender
years, pack about with them.

circulated all over the city, which set forth
that "John Randolph, of Roanoke, being
on visit to New york, would address

Banking System, from the steps Of the

a crowed began to gather, which increased
to afearful number, when the officers of

dolph his money in gold, who received it
with sardopc smile and apt quotations:

left New-york next morning in stage,
