MASSACHUSETTS sLEcIsLATURE.-1here recent
action. of the Legislature of Massachusetts
presents something very nearly approaching to
asLegislatye puzzle. They have passed reso-
slutions declaring the unaltcrable purpose of the
people of that State to resist the extension Of
slavery to the new territories They have af-
frmed, also, that the fugitive slave is entitled
tosthe trial by inry. In one branch these reso-
lutions passed unanimously Yin the other branch
ibypa large majority. AT a subsequent session
OF the same body, resolutions of instruction to
Mi. Webster to vote for the exclusion of slave
~ from any Territorial government about to
be formed, and against the intended bill for the
re-capture of fugitive slaves, have been rejected
by the House of Representatives. This is
rather perplexing in the history Of Massachu.
sets Legislation. 1t leads to much " "guessing"
in the premises. Do these Massachusetts legis-
lators intend their first resolutions as mere
5ru.Hs, fnlaaeu, orr. rs a tub to the whale -
something In the nature of an apparent con
cessio6 to popular prejudice--a compromise
with the rampant spirit of fanaticism, in appear
ins t yield to that spirit by distractions, whilst
they refuse to lie up the hands of their Senator
by something tangible and practical IN the form
Of instructions III this is the proper interpre.
tation or solution Of this legislative riddle, it
confirms the propiiety of Mr. Webster's Ian
guage, in his late Boston speech, when he in.
vokes the people of his State to conquer their
treiudices. The Legislature of Massachusetts
have, however placed themselves in rather q
singular attitude before the world, being willing!
to affirm, through set of abstract PROPOSE
tons, what they, refuse to. put into shape
which would render them Of any effect, except
as mere record Of opinian.

fAsrscf1xe Iscfbssr. The case of Mr..
Archer Brackney, q, passenger on board the
steamer Wayne, blown up on Lake Michigan,
is Of thrilling interest. He was on his way
from Lafayette, Ia., to Philadelphia, with the
remains of his wife and child, recently deceas-
ed Both of the corpses were enclosed in one
box. When the explosion took place, he sue.
ceeded in dragging his two living children from
their rooms, and with them plunged into the
water. After swimming around for short time,
he came il, contact with the box containing his
wife and child. Upon this he succeeded for
some time in keeping himself and children from
drowning, although every wave would roll his
frail support and plunge them in t!;e water, un-
til at last his little boy, two years old, was
drowned IN his arms. After bec. ing salts
fed that his boy was quite dead, lr reluctantly
parted with the body, and turned lis attention
to the rescue Of the remaining chill, who was
clinging around his neck, crying, "Papa! we
shall drowne' He finally succeeded in gaining
the floating part Of the wreck with his little
daughter, and both were saved.

ApoILo-T The most beautiful images we have
ever seen of this deity is now in our city. 1t is
not an oil painting, nora painting in water colors
nor marble bust, but, bright and glorious as
Appollo's SELF, it is a bust in bronze. We did
not know that such an effect could be produced
in bronze As you gaze upon it, the soft beauty
of the richest oil painting appears to be devel-
oped. In every feature there is delicacy and
beauty entirely captivating. We confess that
we have been surprised and astonished, not by
blythe skill-for we forgot that--but by its
product.

Central Railroad-IIIinois.

nected with the organization of the corps of Engin-
GERS, and the location of The road While here, we
understand, he examined our roads being construct

neclion by the union track of the different lines as
we'll with the permanent manner of the construc-
ton of our balasted heavy iron roads, He speaks
with entire confidence of the construction of the
road through Illinois, at early day. Says the peo-
pie the route well the citizens of St Louis
are alive 10 the importance of the work, The En-
gineers, we learn are now actively engaged in the
field locating the road. With the construction of
this road, the Terre Haute road and the Be.lefon-
tame road, will have direct and continuous line
to intersect the Pittsburgh Ceaveland Sandusky Co

in few years. the greatest facilities will be afforded
to the traveller as well as to those transporting
merchandise and produce, between the East and

Newspapers.

Every man should take newspaper. If he is

ged path of life in which he has chosen to walk. 1t
sill teach him to mend his ways, and to mend his
clothes 1t viii point him to the Hymeneal altar,
and learn him to worship at that holy shrine. If he
reads the newspapers, and follows their preeepts,
whether married or single, he will be happy man:
Provided, always, that he pays the printer; for,
less he does, he is conscience-stricken sinner, v
ing without hope in this world, or that which is to
come. But above all, if he is a married man, he
should have a newspaper 1t will endear him to his
home and his freside. 1t will give him the news
from all nations, without his seeking for it at the
hotel or the grog-shop. If he has children il will
be to them like the shower to the dropping and wilt
ed foliage 1t will lead their infant minds to high
and noble aspirations. II will teach them the nature
and character of the government under which they
live 1t viii give them the history of the political
men and measures of the day; and, in our country,
il is beautiful mirror, in which they can see and
contrast our happy form Of government with the
bloated and fostering systems of Europe.
Ii publishes the passing events, and predicts the
future by the history of the past. II is a moving
panorama of the world, upon which all should look
and learn. This is not only the age, but ours is
the country of progress. The sun shines upon no
portion of this habiiable globe where there is so
much intelligence among the great mass of the peo-
pie as in this country. This is to be attributed to
our liberal political institutions-to system OF
education, and to the universal and happy influence
of the newspaper press.
The press is the great centre from which the rays
of light and knowledge radiate. The newspaper,
wet from the press, takes the wings of the morning
and flies 10 the uttermost parts OF the earth, and car

''When the Atlantic reached her wharf the streets in

charge as basely false. He says-''It is false and
false hell that ever, either directly indirectly

"a fellow fcell,s makes him woudroms kind.''

0TTThe Indiana Journal is pouring out its sympa-
thies for fear some indignity may be used against
Mr. Seward, of New York, by the people of the
South. Does the Indiana Journal endorse his ''higher
law doctrines? seems from the editors remarks that
such are his sympathies. His position, with regard
10 Democrats who applaud Mr.. Clay for his course
the slavery que ston, is, that they should support
him for President That position carried out would
now compel the editor of the Journal to support
Seward for the same office. We have no sympathies
with Mr. Clay on the questions of national policy
that divide the Democratic and Wing parties, and
consequently can never support him for President as
long as there is a Democrat in the field But when
ever the editor of the Journal is able TO make an
sue between his favorite Mr.. Seward and Mr. Clay
the only opposing candidates for President, Old
Hal is our man with both hands up. The Journal
however, need not be alarmed about Mr. Clay He
will no doubt soon leave the arena of political life
and ere long 'life's ftful fever' with him will be
over and he TO retire now he would retire with
our blessing, a man that loved his country-that
loved our glorious Union, and that was willing, il
need be, to sacrifice himself in the opinions of such
men Seward and the editor of the Indiana Jour
NAL for his country.
