IA tailor, who was married to a very sickly
woman got enamoured of a young girl who
lived in the neighborhood, and, on certain con

ing, to marry her Immediately on the demise of
his vile in consequence of which MIR. Snipp

ed the above note, she died, leaving, it endorsed
to female friend, who also CHANGED to take a
fever and died, before the tailor's wife; however,
on her sick bed, she also endorsed the note and
gave it to a cousin, whom the tailor absolutely
married, agreeably to the endorsement, in two
days after the death Of his wife, and it is said
the tailor and his wife are now living happily
in the city Of Kilkenny.

P1TTsBuRe, Sept. 2l.-There is some excite
ment here among the colored people, owing to
the passage by Congress of the fugitive slave
bill, and the power it gives to the slave owner.
to enter the free States and take possession OF
his runaway property wherever he finds it.
Many of them are preparing 10 leave for Cana
da in order 10 escape from those that they ex-
pect will soon be after them. On Saturday, a
large number of them left the city, and some OF
the first hotels are left very bare of servants by
this sudden movement. Many have gone who
were never suspected Of being fugitiyes until
the passage Of this BILL and many others are pre-.
pairing to join the general stampede.

THE METHODIST DOG.-In the early days
of Methodism, about fifty years ago, meetings
for preaching and prayer, though not near SO
frequent as at the present period, were, how
ever, somewhat regular and about Bristol, usu-
ally well attended. The people who frequented
the meetings at that place, had repeatedly OBJ
served dog that came from distance and as
at the house to which he belonged, the Metho-
dists were not respected, he always came alone.
At that time, the preaching on the Sabbath,
began Immediately alter the service OF the
church concluded and as this remarkable ami
NAL, on those occasions invariably attended, he
acquired the name of the 'Methodist Dog."-
Being generally met by the congregation re-
turning from the church, he was constantly a.
bused and pelted by the boys belonging to the
party.
His regular attendance had often been the
subject Of public debate and merely to prove
the saeacty OF the animal, the meeting for one
evening, was removed to another house. What
ever were the thoughts entertained concerning
him, surprising as it may seem, at the proper
and exact time, he made his appearance
A few weeks after this, his owner returning
intoxicated from the market at Leeds, was in a
narrow, shallow stream, unfortunately drowned;
and astonishing to relate, the faithful dog no
longer attended preaching.
Diversity of opinion may prevail on this SUBJ
ect, but good john Nelson used to say concern
inc Il: ssThe frequent attendance Of the dog at
the meeting was designed to attract his masters
curiosity, and engage him thereby to visit the
place where hearing the gospel, he might have
been enlightened, converted and eternally saved.
But" added he, ''the end to be answered, being
frustrated by his death, the means to secure it
were no longer needtul."

AN HISTORICAL FAcr.-The Missouri Com
promise line of So 80, was forced upon the South
in 1920, North The Nerths vote in the Senate
was yeas 20, nays gin the House yeas 95,
nays 5. The Souths vote in the Senate was
yeas ID, nays Sin the House yeas 80 nays 81
The North therefore, polled 115 votes for, and
only against, the measure-being majority
Of 100, while the South polled SO for and IS
in favor of the bill. In other words, the North
polled 1903 more votes for the bill than against
it, while the South polled only more for, than
against it. 1t is in the face of these historical
facts that it is attempted by some to hold the
South responsible for the surrender made in the
Missouri Compromise.-St. Louis Daily Times.

THE OLD FEDERAL DOCTRINES ASSERT
ED BY THE WINGS.

The State Gazette, of New Jersey, is the organ
of The Federal Wing party of that State, and is a
thorough going partisan press of the old Federal
stripe. We find in late number of that paper,
the following paragraph:
s'This is the very doctrine contended for by
the reasonable men of the North; that the ma
ority are restrained only by the Constitution, and
mag do all acts qghich are not IN uolataon OF that
instrument"
This doctrine is the genuine old Federal doc
trine, against which the Democratic party has
always commended, The Federalists have held
that this was government of almost unlimited
powers. The Democracy have maintained that
it was Government limited to the exercise OF
those powers only which were conferred on it
by the Constitution.
The 10th article of the amendments to the
Constitution says:
The powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are resefved to the States respectively, or
to the people.
The general Government can only act within
the limit of its delegated powers. Ii cannot "do
all acts which are not in violation of that nstru-
ment )" it must have the warrant of the Consti-
tuition for all it does. IN. Y. Globe.

We call the attention of Southern Wings to
the recent course of Mr.. Winthrop in The Sen
ate Of the United States. In the debate the other
day upon Mr. Pearce's amendments to the
District Slave trade bill, he took violent grounds
against them, and did not hesitate to declare his
opposition to any distinction Of color-that
freeman was freeman, and entitled 10 equal
privileges and immunities as such, whatever the
color of the skin-that the constitution makes no
distinction between white freemen and black
freemen, and that the law should not makeany! !!
Mark these facts Southern Wigs! Mr.. Win
,hrop was the Wing Speaker of the House of
Representatives but year or two since, and
was considered the "pride and ornament of his
party. He was boldly defended in the South,
and extensively talked of in connection with
the Vice Presidency! The Richmond Times
now frankly admits that he is the 'suJortunate
and abortipe successor of Daniel Webster.o But
the sentiments of Mr., Winthrop are the senti
ments Of the entire Northern Wing party.

ACCIDENTAL AND MELANCHOLY DEATH.-On
the morning of Saturday, the 7th inst, party OF
gentlemen, numbering persons, lett the village
of Christiansburg, Montgomery CO., Tor the pur-
pose of participating in deer hunt. Gu arTlv-
ing near the hunting ground, the whole party
dismounted for the purpose of loading their guns.
This step had been rendered proper, because it
was known that another hunting party were ex-
pected to drive the deer on the opposite side OF
The mountain, and shot might be reasonably
anticipated before reaching their fellow hunts
men. Having loaded, the party prepared to re-
mount One of the gentlemen, MIR. Doran, of
Hampshire,) experiencing some difficulty III
mounting, owing to the restlessness OF his horse,
the other gentleman proceeded slowly upon the
road. Col. E. D. Williams being in front, Mr.
BENJAMIN w. Curtis next, and Mr.. Albert G.
Williams Immediately in the rear. They had
not proceeded over fifty yards, when they were
startled by the report Of a gun Mr.. Curtis horse
sprang forward, but he speedily checked HIM,
turned around and saw Dorau thrown from his
horse, and A. G. Williams fall from his. AS ne
approached Mr.. Williams, that gentleman! cried
out, ooh, Curtis, Pm shot-Pm killed !" he
was living on his back, supporting his head and
shoulders by propping his elbows under him.
Mr. Curtis Immediately sprang from his horse 4
to the relief of the dying man, who continued as
he sank rnournfully to exclaim, 81 shall die, l
shall de,n and in about ten minutes afterwards
he breathed his last. Subsequent investigation
showed the shooting to have been purely acct
dental In mounting his horse, Mr.. Doran's gun
exploded; the muzzle unfortunately ranged with
the body of Mr.. Williams, consequently the
whole charge of nine buckshot-except one
which struck the saddle-entered the body OF
that gentleman; six of theshot entering just above
the hip on the left side of the back bone, and
two entering his hip. Six of them passed en-
trely through him, one entering the back bone
The victim, Mr. Albert G Williams, was res
pectable and wealthy farmer, residing in Bed
ford county Mr.. Abraham Doran was strang
er in strange land. He had been spending
day or two in the village, and had joined the
hunting party by special invitation. Personally
he had no acquaintance with the unfortunate
gentleman who lost his life by the accidental dis
charge of the gun.
This melancholy accident adds another warn
ING to those who use and carelessly handle fire
arms-RichmonM Times.

- Tho Brandon Post is greatly mistaken if
it supposes we shall copy half column of its
comments on the Presidents Message. Any
intelligent reader of that "reyiew will see at
once that the main drift of the former part Of it
| Gf had any meaning) was precisely what we
represented namely, an attempt to show that
the President had avoided taking any positive
ground on the Slavery question. In the con-
| GLIDING paragraph, (which we quoteG,) he is
| represented as having taken ultra pro-slayery
ground. The Pos, charges us with misrepre-
sentaiion, in pointing out this inconsistency.
We have simply to say, that the article in ques'
ton alleges three "grcat and absorbing" Sla-
very topics which were chiefly agitated during
the canvass the boundary between Texas ana
New Mexico, Slavery & the Slave Trade in the
District and the prohibition Of Slavery in Cali
fornia and New Mexico. On the first t'cO Of
these topics B. proceeds to say, the President
"says not one word and on the third recon-
mends Congress to wait for the presentation of
the State Constitutions which hose Territories
are expected to bring forward which, of course,
was not regarded as Southern ground 1t is,
in fact, quite the reverse. Every body knows
that California and New Mexico are already
afree soil, "and they arc, beyond doubt, determin-
cd to remain so. The recommendation to wait
until they form governments for themselves"
is altogether in opposition to the course the ul-
ira Southerners are taking, who view this dis
posal of the matter as even more odious than
the Proyiso. The Post, therefore, could not
have meant that this was "cOmplete Southern,
pro.slavery in its tone and aspect" Where,
then, does the charge of misrepresentation lie
We did notottempt to correct all the mlsrep-
RESERVATIONS of Gen. Taylors views made in
that article 1t was not worth the pains. The
Message speaks for itself, and answers fully the
expectations of Northern Wings, and all that
ue ever claimed for its author.
We wish the corresponding editor to
understand, further that VIC never deprecated
personalities" for our own sake, nor do we
object TO his filling the Post with articles of that
nature 10 his hearts content The charge Of
q wbimpering is easily made-and "B." has
illustrated it, too, in the same Parasraph-but
we never did moro than to intimate that per-
sonalities were unacceptable to our readers,a
that we should avoid them.
