BURKING-The new editor of the I'm
ion is busily engaged in letting off bile
upon Truman Smith, whig Senator from
Connecticut 1t seems that Truman who
is never weary in we'll doing, is at Wash
lngtoI, and occasionally sends out circu-
lars under his frank to whig friends in va
nous parts of the country. This is deem
ed great enormity. Burke surely thinks
the public memory must be very frail, if
he supposes they forget that the whole
OF last summer was employed by Dem
ocratlc committee in Washington, con-
slsting of Senator Foote, of Mississippi,
Commissioners Burke, and Second Assis-
tant T. M. General Brown, IN sending off
Democratic documents under the frank of
Senator Foote, to influence the elections
IN the several States. Burke was receiv-
ing $4,000 and Brown $500 per annum
from the Public Treasury, and yet we
heard no complaint either against them
or Senator Foote, for the abuse of the
ranking privilege. If there was sylla-
Bile of the sort let the iocofoco grumbles
now produce it.
The people will know what value to
set upon the abuse of the discarded pack
IN reference to Truman Smith.

MAINE DIR John Hubbard, the can
didate of the regular Democrats, for
Governor, has defined his position, in a
reply to an inquiry from the Waldo Dele
CATION, in regard to the subject of the ex-
tension of slavery, thus:
1st. l believe Congres to have entire
constitutional jurisdiction over the whole
subject of slavery in the teryztoraeS OF
the United States.
Cd. am opposed to slavery in all its
bearings, moral, social and political, and
especially am opposed to its e.ctension.
3D. 1 would adopt all constitutional
and equitable means to prevent the ex-
tension of slavery into territories now free.
Hoping, gentlemen. that this brief
expose will meet your views, L am, with
sentiments of respect and regard,
Yours, JOHN HUBBARD.
Mr.. Hubbard's position is about the
same assumed by the natural allies all
over the North. The coalition between
northern democracy, and abolitionism and
free soilism, will soon be complete. The
marriage contract has been signed, and
the day set apart for the nuptials is not
far off.

WEIR THE ARTIsT.-Mr. Willis, writ
ing to the Home Journal from Cozzens'
new Hotel at West Point, relates the fol
lowing:
"Within stones throw from the por-
tico of the Hotel, upon a knoll half hidden
with trees stands one of the most beauti-
full structures of its kind, in this country
"a stone church, of English rural archi-
lecture, built by the painter, Robert
Weir. The story OF It's construction is a
| touching poem. When MIR. Weir receiv-
ed ten thousand dollars from government,
for his picture on the panel of the Capitol,
he invested it, untouched, for the benefit
of his three children. On the death of
these children-all three-soon alter, the
money reverted to him, but he had feel
ing which forbade him to use it. Struck
with the favorableness of this knoll under
the mountains, as site for place OF
worship, much needed by the village near
by, he applied for it to Mr.. Cozzens, on
whose property it stood, who at once
made free gift of it for the purpose
The painters taste aud heart were set
to work, and with the money left him by
his children, he erected this simple and
beautiful structure in memorial OF hal
lowed utility. Its bell for evening ser
vice sounded a few minutes ago-the
tone selected, apparently, with the taste
which governed ali, and making sweet
music among the mountains that look
down upon it. Mr.. Weir named it "The
Church of the Holy Innocents."

a VIGOROUS RAGE or WARR1ons-

| A VIGoRoUs RACE OF WARRIORS
The st. Paul (Minesota) Register, of late
date, has the following interesting article:
Within the limits of the territories of
the Hudson Bay Company there resides
"a class of men who, ground down by the
tyranny of that huge monopoly, seek to
| place themselves under the protection of
| the United States. These men are usual
ly known as the Red river half breeds.
They are generally speaking of mixed
Indian, English, Scotch, or French blood
| Brought up from earliest youth to feel
| that their subsistence will depend upon
| their skill as horsemen and hunters, they
accustom themselves to every exercise
and privation which can tend to harden
their muscles and prepare them for their
vocation. AS matter of course, the
whole body of these hunters are capital
horsemen and amazingly experl ir the
use of fre-arms Depending entirely upon
the Hudson Bay Company for ammunition
and arms, they must submit to any and
all the arbitrary rules imposed upon them,
and they are heartily tired of these eXac-
tiOns
Twice each year, these hunters, four
or five hundred in number, start for the
American territories after the buffalo.
with from thousand to twelve hundred
carts, drawn by horses or oxen, which
are driven by the women and children.
The men are governed by fixed rules
while at the hunt, which must not be in
fringed under severe penalties. They all
leave the camp together with the excep-
ton of few who are left as guard, and
when a cerne or surround of buffalo has
taken place, the women and children are
sent for to assist in butchering and drying
the meat of the animals. Each cart will
contain the pemican (or dried meat, pound
ed, and melted tallow poured over i) of
ten buffaloes, so That the slaughter of
these animals may be estimated at up
wards of twenty thousand annually. The
meat thus prepared is purchased at
small price by the Hudson Bay Company,
and is used to provision the inland trad
ing posts. Attempt has on one occasion
been made TO prevent the incursions of
these people within our boundaries, but
without effect. Many of these mixed
bloods desire now to remove to Pembina,
which is on the American side of the line,
and settle there, if permission can be
obtained from our Government. They
would constitute formidable and efficient
defence to our northern frontier in case of
Indian disturbances, as they are much
feared by all the different tribes. The
British settlement at Red river in the
vicinity of Fort Gary numbers about five
thousand souls.

The VOLATILE When Bonaparte
put the Duke d. knghien to death, all Paris felt so
much horror at the event, that the throne of the
tyrant trembled under him. A counter revolution
was expected, and would, most probably, have ta-
ken place. had not Bonaparte ordered new ballet
to be brought out. with the utmost splendo, at the
Opera. The subject he pitched upon was "Ossian
or the Bards" 1t is still recoIected in Paris, as
perhaps the grandest spectacle that had ever been
exhibited there. The consequence was, that the
murder of the Duke 'Enghen was totally forgot

A GALLANT JEw-In the ranks of the
Hungarian army, fighting for their liberty,
says a Jewish Chronicle, is Jewish
officer of high merit, M. Dannberg, who
had served under the Americans in the
Mexican wars, but no sooner did he hear
of the struggle against oppression in his
native country, (Hungary,) than he pro-
ceeded from New York to Bremen, and
thence to the scene of war, where he is
now earning golden laurefs.

The Washington Union having fully
scolded at aud rebuked the whole
neutral press of the country as anti
locofoco, the New York Sun on their be-
half thus replies:
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
whole neutral press comes up for Father
Ritchie's denuncia ton. 1t shows that it
is in unity, and that as the representative
of the masses, both it and the masses are
opposed to the pet ideas and schemes Of
the Washington Union.
And here we may add that the foul
mouthedness of the Union for months past
has been shameful example of the pros
titution of the press. Time was when
MIR. Richie, as one of the nobility of Vir-
ginia, would have scorned to fill the col
umns of public journal under his con-
troll with low slang. The Union now
vies in vulgarity with the "Flash," the
"Whip," and other extinct excrescences
of the press. That it should fairly oppose
the administration is natural-no one
can find fault with that-but when 1t de-
scends to such personalities as calling the
postmaster General "Collamer- Morbus,
his assistant. MIR. Warren, "Executioner
General" and Connecticut Senator it
chances to dislike, the ''Wooden Nutmeg
Senator" it shows the lack OF honest
weapons and editorial decency, and a
readiness to adopt the very guerrlllarism it
lyingly charges upon the neutral press.

1T has been stated

POLITICAL FRAUDs-It has been stated
several times lately that a life of the no.
torious Capt Rynders was in preparation,
and we presume is now nearly ready for
the press. The Boston Atlas makes the
following singular disclosure. Ii there
be many more such statements In the
forthcoming volume, it will lay open to
the world course of disgracetul conduct
that the public are hardly prepared for.
The editor of the New York Sunday
Atlas, who, we believe, is MIR. >. >. South
worth, late a custom-house officer, and
formerly the New York correspondent OF
the Boston Post, under the signature OF
"John Smith, Jr, of Arkansas has been
writing life of Capt. Rynders, of the
Empire Club. The writer says that the
organization of the Empire Club cost
Rynders individually four Thousand doi,
lars. The schemers of Tammany t1ali
dsliked to acknowledge fellowship with
Rynders, and would not contribute money
to aid in his operations. But the Captain
knew upon whom to draw and whom to
bleed In the months of September and
October. 1874, upwards of forty thousand
dollars were collected from forced loans
on the New York custom-house, and paid
over to the Empire Club, to be used in
operating on the then pending Presidential
election. This discreditable fact is vouch-
ed for by the editor of the Atlas, who says
he was himself assessed, but upon threat
ening to shoot the applicant, or "Sreat him
as a common foot-pad," he escaped taxa
ton. 1t was in this way that the Wings
in New York were beaten by government
money-Ark. G0z.
