THE GREAT LONDON FAIR-A United
States Tessefto conuey american Produc-
tlonS.-The executive committee, at Wash
ington, of the central authority Of the Uni
ted States, have just issued another circular
to the Governors and committees of the
several States, on the subject of the forth
coming display, at London, of the industry
of all nations. This central committee has
been advised ofthe appointment of commit
tees to act in behalf of the citizens of the
following States, viz: Maine, Rhode Island,
New~York, New Jersey, Mississippi, Illi-
nois, Maryland, Missouri, South Carolina,
Alabama, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Ohio and Indiana. The present
call is made, that the citizens of States which
have not, through their Governors, respon-
ed TO the previous request, may not be dis
on discovering, when too late to
be remedied, that their productions are to
be precluded from the fair altogether. The
committee adds:
The articles must be shipped in time to
reach London prior to the lst day of March,
subsequent to which they cannot be admit
ted TO the exhibition.
To those States which make no report
through their committees before the lst oi
December, specifying the amount Of space
required, no allotment will be made, bul
the entire amount will be Immediately as.
signed to those which may have made re.
port in proportion to tho requirements ol
each and publication thereofbe made accor'
dinghy. The committee is highly grati6et
10 being sble to state that such assurance
has been received from the President of tn,
United States and the Secretary of the Ma
w, as to justify the expectation that pub
lie vessel will be commissioned to convey
to London all articles (destined for the ex
hibition) which may be approved by th,
central authority.
As has been before stated, the space sp
propriated at London to the whole United
States, is $4,000 square feet. one-half o
which will be passage way. All commune
cations must be addressed to the secretary
Of the executive committee, Joseph C. G
Kennedy, Esq.

FuGrTIvE BILL.-Tbat spirited Demo-
cratic paper,ithe Miners Express, thus
speaks of this law:
"Patriots will rally under the cry of
obedience to law 1t is manifestation
of the will of the people, and in accordance
with the express injunctions Of the Con-
stitution. Hear what the Constitution says,
'The fugitive. from'labor or service shall be
delivered up on claim Of the person claim
ing his serviceEor' labor This language
applies to all, whether white or black, who
are bound to service, either as apprentices
for life, as slaves, or apprentices for term
of years. Does the fugitive law say more?
No. Does it. take away from the slave any
rights before possessed? No. Does il
give to the master more than is given BY
the Constitution? No: but it takes from
him ministerial power, and transfers it to
a federal officer. AS we, have shown al
ready, the present law is more impedimen-
tary than otherwise. II gives the master
nothing; but takes from him the privilege
Of making the arrest himself, and transfer:
to duly appointed officer. Why. then
clamor SO much against the law? Aye
why?"

follows: For the roads 4s5-sgsi"st it, 290

scription of 1875. Of those voting in favor
of the subscription all were $lO0,OC0 ex-

Senator Douglas, OF fIIlinois.

This distinguished gentlemen, at a recent
meeting held in Chicago, made speech of
three hours and half, to the immense au-
dience, upon the measures adopted by Con-
gress at its recent session, in which lie de-
clared his opposition to the WILMoT proviso,
and said that his vote heretofore given in
favor of it, was given an obedience to in
structions from his LegisLature!-a vote he
never thought of without mortiGcation!!-
He defended the Fugitive Slave law; urged
its claims to the favor Of the people; advo-
Gated submission to its requirements, and
declared that he toottid hare UOted for IL, if
he had been in his seat at the time Of its
passage. Senator Douglas is one Of the
great men of the present day, whose talents
we admire, and with whose general politi-
cal course We have been much pleased
and We are right glad to find, from thii
speech, that he advocates the equal rights
Of the States, and goes in for his country, its
constitution and laws, despite the fanaticsl
croakings around him. Look at Douglas,
and then look at Benton! Illinois may well

any of them. We have written this article
now, because the friends of Benton are cir
culatihg thousand false rumors in refer
ence to the Senatorial election. They are
insinuating that this anti-Benton member
has been bought over-that that one has
been wheeled-that another is shivering in

other, to the number of fifteen or twenty,
will prove false in the hour of trial. We
can assure the people that there is not q
shadow oftruth in any of these rumors. We
say that it is utterly and basely false that
there is solitary anti-Benton member e.
lected to the Legislature, who has ever in
timated that in any contingency whatever
he would sustain Mr.. Benton. We know it
to be false. There is no anti Benton man
who is willing to render himself at once o.
dious and contemplate to the whole State.
There is no one so debssed that he can for
one moment contemplate such treason with
out disgust. Itis for those Of the party who
were elected as his friends to abandon him
to his fate, as they may -ightfully do after
they have seen his appeal decided against
him, if they regard the principles of the par
ty, and desire its supremacy. Will they do
this? Our hope is that they will-our fear
that they will not.

IEpusTRY of fNAPoLEoN.-No victory al
lured him into moments repose-no lux
.uries tempted him to ease-and no success
bounded his impetuous desires. Laboring
with an intensity and Fapidity that accom-
plished the work of daysin hours, he new
|ertbeless seemed crowded in the very limit
of human capacity, BY the vast plans and
endless projects that asked and received
his attention. In the cabinet, he astonish-
ed every one by his striking thoughts and
indefatigable industry. The form and cere-
monies Of the court could not keep his mind,
hardly for an hour, from the labor which
he seemed to covet. He allowed himself,
usuaily, but four or FIVE hours to rest; and
during his campaigns exhibited the same
almost miraculous activity Of mind. He
would dictate to one set Of secretaries all
day; and, after he had tired them out, call
for a second, and keep them on the stretch
all night, snatching but . brief reposs dur
ing the whole time. His common practice
was to rise at two in the morning, and do
tate to his secretaries for two hours, then
devote two hours more to thought alone;
after which, he would take a warm bath
and dress for the day. But, in the pressure
of business, this division Of labor and rest
was scattered to the winds, and he would
work aliBight. With his night! gown wrip'd
around him, and a silk handkerchief tied
about his head, he would walk backwards
and forwards in his apartment, from dark
till daylight, debating to Caulincourt, or
Duroc, or D'Abls his chief secretary, in bis
impstuous manner, which required the
highest exertion to keep pace with; while
Russian, his faithful Msmeluke, whom he
brought from Egypt, was up also, bringing
from time to time, . strongs cup OF coffee
to refresh him. Sometimes at midnight,
when all was still, the restless spirit would
call out, "Call D'Able; let every one arises"
and then commence working, allowing him-
self no intermission or repose till sunrise.
HI has been knswn to dictate to three Sec
retaries at the same time, 90 rapid were
the movements Of his mind, and yet 80 par
fectly under his control. He never defer
red business for an hour, but did on the spot
what then called his attention, Nothing
but the most ironlike constitution could
have withstood these tremendous strains
upon it. Headly. iaIas ~ ge5s sd

Virtue is both title and an estate; title
the most exalted, because it is God who
confers it !; an estate the most rich, because
it eudures for ever. Envy may not dero-
gate the title, because it is written in the
book of heaven; and fraud cannot diminish
the estate, because no sin can reach it.
