ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. The Iewisburg
(Pa) Chronicle announces the marriage on the I4th
inst. Of John Johnson and Mrs. Mariah Miller of
Chlisquaque township, and tells the following ro-
mantle story respecting the happy pair:
The groom, who now works at the boat-yard here,
was formerly sea-farng man. The bride is from
South Carolna and her father, and her former hus-
band, both Of whom have been dead many years,
were wealthy planters. Some five years ago, the
young widow made visit to England, in company
with her brother, Southern gentleman of fortune.
and on the return voyage they embarked in vessel
IN which the groom was serving as a common sailor.
BY some accident she was knocked overheard in the
harbor of Liverpool sank to the bottom and was Civ
en- up for lost Our hero, however, did not abandon
the search. slight change in the position of the
vessel discovered her, the water being remarkably
clear, lying on the ground twenty feet below the
surface, and apparently dead. He instantly pung-
ed to the bottom, seized her by the hair and brought
her to the top; large lock of hair being pulled out
IN the attempt and which is still preserved After
some hours of perseyering exertion she was finally
brought to and perfectly restored. She was deeply
grateful to the preseryer of her life, and on the
homeward voyage she formed strong attachment
for him and union for life was resolved upon Their
plans were, however, frustrated, and for several
years they never met. In the meantime her fortune
became impaired. Some three or four months ago
she heard of his location here and Immediately came
on from Charleston to see him. Her uncle, however.
overlook her and carried her back She came on
again, some three weeks ago, but was confined to bed
Tor some time by sickness. Recovering, on last
Sabbath evening the long deferred nuptial knot was
tied, and the rescuer and rescued are now united in
hle-partnership, for better or for worse

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW.

Don't tell me of tomorrow
Give me the man who'll say,
That when a good deeds to be done,
Let's do the deed to-day.
We may all command the present,
Ii we act and never wait;
But repentance is the phantom
OF the past, that comes too late
Don't tell me of to morrow!
There is much to do to-day
That can never be accomplished,
If we throw the hours away,
Every moment has its duty
Who the future can foretell;
Then why put off till tomorrow
What to-day can do as well?
Don't tell me of tomorrow
If we look upon the past,
How much that we have left to do.
We cannot do at last !
To, day +! it is the only time
For all on this fraI earth;
1t takes an age to form a life,
A moment gives it birth.

IMPORTANT TO SHIPPERS OF LUMBER TO
CALIFORNIA. The following is an extract from
letter dated San Francisco, Feb. 27, 1850:
81 have been talking with gentleman this morn
ing who owns a steam mill Just below Ell Pueblo
about thirty-6ve miles from here. He is occupied
in saving up the redwood, a species Of mahogany
in color and beauty of grain, yet soft as pine and
splitting true and easy. He has just taken con-
tract to furnish 1000, 900 feet at his mill at $50 per
M. This, he says, gives him profit. Now if he
can do ti'is, iio,v many mills. think Won will start
up? He has circular saw running, i,is orSinr
is twenty-five horse power, and he can run two cir
cuiar and TWO upright saws. He can saw 5000 feet
in fifteen hours 1t only takes three and half cords
of wood per week, to run the engine The wood is
all around him, and the slabs are worth 4Oper cord
for fire wood. Here is a heavy competition with
Oregon and the the States. He has also water pow
er seven months in the year, sufficient to equal ten
horse power, and to run the mill. He has also
shingle machine, which splits shingles thirty -four
inches long, and six to eight inches wide at the rate
of 1000 per day. only tell facts, which think
show that we shall not be entirely indebted to the
J States for lumber. The mountains are covered with
this redwood, and the trees must be enormous for
have seen boards three feet wide often; thew use
them for counter tops. Two feet is very common
width. II beautiful cabinet and furniture wood
also. ''-BOSton Journal.

Slave Catching.

Mason, fugitive slave bill, now before
the Senate, provides that all the proof nee
eSsary for taking person into slavery, is
on the oath of the master and his descrip~
ton othe slave, with the identification of
the person claimed. The question is to be
decided by commissioners without jury,
and their decision is to be final, without ap-
peal, and without the benefit of the writ of
Habeas Corpus! The bill further provides
that ifany slave is rescued from claimant,
after being delivered to him by the COM
mssicaers, the slave shall be PAID FOR
OUT OF THE TREASURY OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Letsach bill pass, and it will not be
long before the United States will have to
pay the value of all the slaves within the
limits OF the Union and if many of them
do not have to be paid for two or three times
over, it will be lucky for u.s. The escape
indendfcation, and rescue, Of slaves, will
become regular systematized business,
and Uncle Sam will have to foot the bills
1t win beat California gold digging, two to
one. The slave, by special arrangement,
will only have to escape 10 an adjoining
county, and the whole process OF indentlll-
catsop, restoration, and rescue, may be the
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1850-09-26
TIE NEW OFFICES.

The recently passed Fugitive Slave Bill pro
vides for the appointment of three commission
ers in each county, "to hear the demands and
grant certificates to the claimants of fugitive
slaves" and to be on hand, at all times, at the
BEG of the slavcnoIder, or his agent. Each OF
our counties being entitled to three oppolntees
of these honorable and lucrative posts, tremalns
to be considered who shall be preferred 10 the
ty conventions, or mass meetings in this STATE,
to discuss claims, and designate individuals to
be recommended to the Hon. U. S. Secretary OF
State for these appointments; Instead OF the
old test questions, Is he hJnest" :" Is he ca
pable?" which, in this age Of crab like progress,
have become uniashlonnble, and nearly obse-
lete. we would respectfully recommend the fol-
lowing very opposite ones.--WiIl he have any
false delcacy about breaking over the supposed
sanctity The domiciI, and into the private rooms
of our wives end daughters? Would he be fear
ess and expert in knocking down syIop0thizIng
fanatics? Would he be able to outrun negro
escaping into the fields Or woods? &c. &c
Though these are the principal questions in the
newte,~code which should lie adopted, yethere
are many Others OF the same character that with.
out further hint of ours, will readily suggest
themselves to the sagrcious and po.roic con
clayes assembling 10 deliberate upon the import
ant subject.
In The spirit Of honorable frankncss, with
which we would treat this matter, we cheerlully
admit, that the Free Democracy Of our own
STATE can pi esent reasonable elnims TO any of
these Offices, and that The dispensing of them
very ceasly belongs exclusively to the party Of
that administration which has been SO instrument
tai in creating them.

The Balance of Power,

The ultra pro slavery men have crochet, for
which they are indebted to the late Senator from
South Carolina, Mr.. Calhoun, upon the subject
of the relative strength of the free and slave
States, which we propose 10 examine 1t no.
ton oftheirs, that an equality of political power
can be and ought to be preserved between the
two sections though they have not very clearly
explained how The thing is to be done. We arc
not informed whether the Southern States are
TO be cut up into smaller ones, or the Northern
to be amalgamated into larger. We are only
told that the Constitution is to be changed, in
order to consumute the desired object without
being furnished with the particulars of the plan
proposed. 1t may be that they may demand not
only an equality in the Senate, but also in the
House OF Representatives, and, consequently, in
the electoral colleges. To effect any of these
changes, will require the assent of majority,
in some cases Of three -fourths of the States
and unless the suppeness of General Cass were
more predominant quality in Yankeedom than
we have reason to think it is, we are not likely
to witness such a settlement of the balance Of
power. The absuldity of the proposition is too
great 10 entlte 1t to moments consideration: :
and the mind whith gave birth 10 1t must have
been in very unhealthy condition. or it must
nave been unduly excited by contemplating the
effects which the gasconade and buster Of the
chivalry was likely to produce upon the phleg-
matte people Of the Moth.
Considering it, therefore, as out of the cues.
tn preserve the balance of power by a reorgon-
ization of the Federal Government, we will pro-
coed to consider the effect which the progress
of Populrtion is likely 10 have upon the relative
strength of the North and South. In 1890 the
population of the slave States was almost equal
to that OF the free, there being only 7,l53 per-
sons more in the latter division than in the for.
mer, according to Jesse Chickenng, Of Boston,
a gentlemen distinguished for his accurate ac-
quaintance with statistics. This triAing differ
ence, amounting to less than the population of
small county, has gradually risen to between
three and a half to four million; and the recent
great aceeleration which has been given to for
eign emigration will in twenty years cause the
North to number twice as many inhabitants as
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1850-09-26
The d" Settlement"

Can it be possible that the compromisers
themselves believe they have settled the Sa
very Question" They SAY they have settled
it, and their echoes all about the country, repeat
what they say. But do they really believe it?
No! They only think and try to draw atten-
ton from it, and they would not hesitate to 40
any thing to accomplish this object
The Free Soil men OF the country never had
more work TO do than at present.
LIST In the first place they havoc nand a
Stern reckoning with the doughfaces and traitors.
Make war on these creatures everywhere, and
let the war be stern and steady. Show them
up, Scourge them. Vote them down
d.--Congress must prohibit Slavery and es-
tabilsh Freedom in The Territories. Notice of
bills to this effect has already been given in both
| Houses.
3rd.-Slavery must be abolished in the Dis
trct Of Columbia. Long enough has it been
there to disgrace the nation. Let there be an
end Of it. The National Government must be
delivered from this abomination, The attempt
to nauralize Slavery must be fought until it is
thoroughly defeated. If this chattesm of men
is Slate institution, let it be driven to the States
where it belongs, and there let it die.
| 4th.-.There must be no more slave States ad-
ded to this Union. Not another of these swet-
ering bodies of death, these nurseries of oppres-
sion, treason, bowie knife civilization and Pitch
Pine ChWalry, must come in to increase the de-
bauchery Of public sentiment in this country and
add to the influences that transform our Aneri.
can democracy into clustering sham. "No
more slave States !" Speak, write, agitate and
vote with this watch, word.
| This battle cannot end until slavery withdraws
| to its own place. They who have undertaken
to end it by passing that Fugitive Slave Bill aud
that swndng Texan boundary Bill, will discov-
er their mistake. When that right honorable
army Of Slave Catchers is appointed they will
be likely TO hear from it again. Friends watch
these appointments, and send us the names as
fast as you hear Of them. We are anxious to
see a list of the Slave Catchers for Connecticut.
We would nominate certain gentlemen for the
office, if we were sure that they would get the
appointments Hartford Republican.

Professor Webster,

The Springfield Post of late date has
the following in regard to Professor Web
ster
For years we have considered him capa-
bic of almost any crime which seemd to him
necessary to the qualification of his private
sellishness and ambition. Some II years
ago, DR.. Webster's father died leaving an
annuity Of dollar per week to neice,
destitute and feeble woman, of most excel
lent character, for whomghe had great re-
spect Prof Webster, the principal heir,
was also Executor of the will, and 10 him
was entrusted the payment of this trlflng
sum, yet sufficient, with the industry of
the woman, to render her comparatively
comfortable. Prof. Webster made one
semi-annua payment, and then refused to
continue the annuity, He was often and
earnestly appealed to; he knew that this

A New Torch of Discord.

Since the defeat Ct Benton in his own
State, disposition is manifested in certain
quarters to bring him out for Presidency
A prop, sltlon is also made to send him TO
the House of Representatives from the Con-
gressional district of st Louis, in 1852. and
being member ofthe House he would soon
become a candidate for the Speakership. p
Good, we say, Benton can't long be kept
from the field.
But in view of this movement the Editor
of the Union at Washington, raises his lugu-
brlous eyes and thus mourns over another
source of distraction and diSunion. Non.
paiel.
The montrosity" of this project requi-
res but very few words to expose it. Here
we have scheme which, under the pre-
teuce ofrallyjng th democratic masses on
the great demo ratio principles, is intended
to combine all the elements of discord-
free. solism, Van Burenism, Bentonism, g.
Sewardlsm, into one monstrous mass-tc
crafty the ambition OF a disaffected and as.
piring individual. This coalition cannot
press his pretentons without reyiving the
contest which has long agitated the count
n.y. They could not elect him on the prin.
cipIes of lreesoiIism without arousng the
whole South, and sacrificing the Union it
sell. Yet is this monslrous plot now to be
Matched at a moment when there were san
gune hopes of passing the bills before the
House, and giving peace TO the Union. L

LoolE out Cor Breakers.

The Washington correspondent IF the Bati-
more Sun, a whig paper speaking Of the bills
recentl sent down TO the House from the Sen.
ate, thus disposos those wings who venture to
entertain any scrup!es of conscience in relation
to the passage ofuny Of then:
Seward anil his gang Of followers, are mere
wrcckers among the navgaers OF The wing par
ty, as the WiImois, the Preston Kings, the Dur
KEGS &c, are mere pirates in the ranks Of the
democracy; and whelher'he whig party Or the
democratic party is in power, the free soil fac
tonsts will be looked upon as traitorons rebels,
not entitled to quarter.
The administration is most undoubtedly in
earnest and sincere, and Gov Seward is no
doubt dead man. He will in a short time be
a political Pope without church. The North
ern democrats have for some tire past unchurch-
ed the free soil faction and by that means pre-
served the Integrity of their party. President
Fillmore is too wise a man not to profit by the
exampIe."-E man. & Rep.
