A WANING 70 Abontsonists.

II gives US pleasure to state that one OF a
gang OF Abolitionists, w.o have, for some
time past, infested Lewis county, with tie
notorious JOHN G. FEE at their head, was
arrested few days ago, on charge of
having persuaded the slaves Of Gen. Thomas
Marshall and Mr.. Jenkins, Of that county,
to run away He was brought up for ex-
animation at the Court House in this city on
Tuesday last, before Esquires Wood and
Collins; and, in default of bail in the sum Of
! 1--WE hundred dollars, committed to jail to take
his trial at the next term Of the Mason Cir
cult Court, but will probably be bailed out
by some Of his fellow Abolitionists, as we
are informed that Fee is on the alert, in
order to find those who will endorse for his
appearance.
The name Of the man arrested is William
Hsines. Cor Hoynes) "A very good same to
irGpsI Oa-and the proof against him being
quite strong, it is thought that he must fee
the country, if he wishes to avoid the walls
Of the pententiary.
There are others Of this band who are
under strong suspicious, and their movements
will be narrowly watched. The people of
the river counties have been long enough an
noyed by these reckless robbers, and it is
time, in all conscience, that the cirii Iavs OF
The State, at least, should be enforced against
them. Mr. FEE himself, would do well to
improve the golden opportunity still left, for
seeking an asylum in some more congenial
cline than Kentucky, for it is impossible for
shareholders to be secure in their property
while such men ara permitted to hold inter-
course with the slave population. Indeed,
we ADVISE him to 6 leave the country for the
country's good, " and 60 where he can enjoy
aegrq society with less danger to his own
peace and safety than in Lewis county.
The man, Haines, who has been arrested,
Processes to be distributing books for the
American Missionary Society, and, we be-
lieve, occasionally lectures the people upon
Christianity; but the general impression
seems to be that he is NOT one Of the Lords
chosen, and that the Missionary Society, in
choosing him is an agent, made miserable
poor choice. This aside, however; the fell
low has been fully committed for trial accord
| ing to the laws Of Kentucky, and we hope,
# guilty, he may atone for his termerity in
the case by expiating his cri.re in tie con-
anes Of State Prison, and that others may
take timely warning from his fate.

The CENSUS OF BosroN.--An enumeration Of
the inhabitants of Boston, has recently been made
under the municipal authorities. From this it APP
pears that the city is radidly increasing in the num-
Der Of its population and the amount Of its trade
The present population is put down at l38, 1888,
Of which 52,96l are Irish, and 10,359 Germans,
English, &C., showing total population OF G., !
800, which will be surprising to most people, as
Boston has been supposed to be principally COM
posed of natives. But when we consider the
put up in and around Boston, we need not be as
tonished at this influx Of foreigners. Besides, a
large number Of our original native population
has been enabled by the excellent railroad dverg-
ing from the city in all directions u remove to the
smaller towns in the neighborhood.
The whole number Of colored persons in Bos-
ton, with all itsprofessed sympnthies for the black
race, is only ALA, which is only few hundred
more than there were in 1920, showing very
feeble increase.--.N Y. Erening Post.

cannot legislate for the territorial districts We
are about to appoint governors and judges for
Oregon, as has been uniformly done in every in
stance from the very frst month Of the first SEES
sion ever held. There ia a provision 10 the Ore
g0n bill enjoining it upon the territorial legisa-
ture not 10 disturb the fundamental rights secured
to individuals or persous by the Constitution Of
the United States-right Of habeas corpus, trial
by jury, exemption Of property from seisure, Of
persons from arrest without affidavit of probable
cause, &C., &c., and no one imagines that Con-
gress is making question about these rights, or
assuming jurisdiction to determine such ques-
ton; but all can see that il is only executing the
Constitution by imposing upon its creature gov
eminent what the Constitution has enjOined upon
Congress itself. Thus, sir, when the object is to
carry out the Missouri compromise north of 500
30', no question is made about the right Of Con-
gress over the territory; but when we come to the
line of 36o 90 and the South demands the benefit
Of that compromise, tis discovered that Congress
has no authority to interfere in such matters.
:. Non-intervention, y is the patriotic maxim.
There is authority TO secure all mnnaapities but
ours. The people Of the territories midst not be
interfered with. h would be contrary to the
Declaration Of Independence of the
maxim Of selfgoyernment. Sir, the territorial
council may intervene to destroy us, but our
Government and our own Constitution cannot in
tervene to protect us. The people Of the South
will have these matters explained.
No paternal and protective intervention from
our Government and Constitution, - which we
have ever been true and faithful! But do gentle
men deprecate all Intervention! No, sir, no.
They invoke the intervention Of a motley crew Of
Mexicans, Mormons, adventures, and trespassers
upon the public domain. These inhabitants
have been wickedly taught that they have rights
paramount to those of the United States, and
among them the right to exclude shareholders.
Should a stakeholder presume to enter the terri
tory, it would be regarded in derogaton of the
rights Of the inhabitants and the opinions Of dis
tinguished characters of the United States would
be referred to to prove it, What shareholders,
therefore, could ever penetrate the country with
out the certainty Of encountering molly mob,
enraged at the idea that some sacred right of
theirs was encroached upon'

lowing resolutions were adopted by the Legisla-
ture ofNew Jersey--by the Senate unanimously
in the House by vote of 40 to IL:
Resolved, That the Union of the States is Of in
estimable value to the people Of New Jersey, to-
America, and to the cause of civil liberty through
out the world.
Resolved, That the advice Of the immortal
Washington in his Farewell address to the people
Of the United States, to avoid sectional divisions
and animOsities, and to frown Indignantly upon
every attempt to ALLEVIATE one section Of the coun-
try from another, is deserving of profound re-
spect and veneration from all patriotic citizens,
and that no existing circumstances will warrant
our disregard Of that advice at the present time I
Resolped, That we regret the systematic at
tempts Of many misguided persons to ALLEVIATE one
section Of our country from another, and that
New Jersey, the battle ground Of the Revolution,
deprecates any action in Congress or elsewhere,
which may have such a tendency, or serve to en-
hanger the Union Of the States
Resokped, That our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress are hereby requested to vote on
all questions Of sectional character in such man
aer, consistent with right construction Of the
Constitution, as will have tendency to allay any
| geographical animosities which may exist and
promote the cause Of harmony in our national
councils. -

makes as exquisite rolls and loaves as any we
have ever seen. Families need moi desire better

mills make the different 'sgratLes'' Of flour, vary
ing in quality according to the quality Of wheat
used, Mine host Of the Pulaski House, 10 whom
a specimen Of this -four has been sent, confirms
the good opinion which we have expressed Of this
| article Our friends, Messrs. Linton T. Co., OF
Augusta, write to us that they are already begin
ming to grind the new wheat in considerable guam
titles. The crop, they say, comes in well, saving
the occasional rust which has touched the article
in certain localities. Last year they were all ready
for the most extensive operations, but the untimely
frost nipped their hopes in the bud Now, the
poulise is good, and, we are glad TO hear it.
Heaven send that the high prices Of cotton may
not divert any Of the labor now directed to the
cultivation Of wheat. But then we have the re-

deserves. We understand that F. Sorrel, Esq,
