Extravaaance is wickedness.

We may call it the impulse of generous soul,
we may palIiate it under the name of regard to
the decencies and proprieties OF life--a regard
for the tasteful and elegant-a love for art and
literature--a disposition to avoid the charge of
being sordid and mean; it is always the same,
when we look at the naked fact. No man or
woman has right to live beyond their means.--
Iii very easy thing to be generous and benevo-
lent with money that one has never earned, to
acquire the reputation OF connolsseur IN arch
itecture if it is done at the expense OF the unpaid
labor OF the carpenter, the mason, rthe painter
Whenever man lives beyond his means, he al
WAYS must do it at somebody's expense-some-
body must pay the bill; and SO complicated and
related are the dependencies OF trade that we can
never know whence this expense will in the end
be drawn In the great majority OF cases, 1t IS
borne by those who are least able to bear it, by
the hardworking and hard-faring poor. Many
failure in business, which is charged to the
chances of mercantile life, is traceable directly
to extravaganza in living. Many wife or
daughter, sailing in thoughtless gaiety down the
tide of fashion, dreams not thatthe means which
support her useless and wicked expense are
wrung from the poor laborer, or wormed by the
"law's delay and the thousand tricks that are
| matured in the marts of trade, from the widow

1 itself becomes in such circumstances the strong
est temptation to draw the husband on to vice
and crime. Thoughtless extravaganza is the
foibe of the one he loves. The husband cannot
meet the reproaches of the idol of his heart, he
cannot bear to see her put to shams (talse though
| he knows it to be) by weather. rival in the
race of fashion, and he yields when his better

For the Kenosha Telegraph
The next county south of Bureau is Putnam
once large county, but which has been par
ed down by successive prunings until but little
of its former self remains. Ten miles from
Princeton, and on the east side of the Illinois RI
yer, is Henncpin, the county seat of Putnam CO.,
and so named from one of the early French ad-
yenturers. The road TO this place for some dis
lance before we reach it, is across the bottom
land of the Illinois river, and is frequently al
most impossible. just before we travelled on it
there had been tremendous rain Storm in which
there was an almost continual roar of thunder
and unbroken fash of lightning, and in which
the rain literally poured down, that the travel
ing across the fiat was anything but good. The
river sometimes rises so high as to overflow its
bank opposite Hennepin and suhmerge the low
land between it and the bluff. A raised turn
pike is now being thrown up for some distance
across this low land, but even when completed
a boat may at times be necessary to cross from
the bluff to the river. The warehouses on the
west bank of the river are sometimes surrounded
and partially filled with water.
Hennepin contains about 1000 inhabitants,
and, like Princeton, has ccmmodious brick
courthouse which does honor to the village and
the county. The village is built on the table
land several feet above the river, and hence the
landing and shipment Of freight is effected with
difficulty. The Illinois is crossed here on a fer
e ~ IL ho-
tween Ottawa and Peoria, the boats being pro-
PEELED partly by the current and partly by human
strength.
Seven miles east Of Hennepin is Granville
sort of Farmers village-minus merchants and
lawyers, but possessing one Of the best schools
in the country, under the superintendent OF
graduate of Knox College. The country around
Granville, and indeed in most of Putnam county,
bears evidence of having been settled longer than
counties farther north. The orchards here are
loaded with fruit, and the delicious apples and
peaches of home production which are offered &c
the visitor, remind us of the days of Aud Lang
Sune. Three miles southwest OF Granville is
place called Union Grove, but the appellatior
is a MISSIONER as there is all but the union here
The Presbyterian church here has been rent If
twain, and the pastor driven from his pulpit FOL
one half OF the time by the fanaticism OF comeou
ers. A like scourge has afflicted the Presbyte
rian church at Granville, which is at presen
without pastor on this account.
On the extreme eastern line of Putnam coun
/ ty is Mount Palatine, a small village settled bl
a colony of Baptists. A literary institution ma
been established by the denomination here, ant
the fine brick Academy standing as it does OF
the high open prairie, may be seen for mile
around. In the south part of the county are thu
villages of Magnolia. Fiorid and Caledonia Tn
first contains about 600 inhabitants. The sec
ond is smaller and inhabited partly by Germans
and the third is ga wee bit of thing"

WHAT THE WING PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE
DoNE.-The National Era, paper which was
disposed to look upon Mr.. Fillmore with favor
and not to condemn his measures rashly, speaks
thus Of his course on the Fugitive bill:
Mr.. Fillmore has been censured for yielding
his sanction to the act. On careful considera-
ton, WE THINK THE cENsuRE DESERVED. 1t vir-
tually sets aside the habeas corpus; it denies the
right Of trial by jury; it disallows the right of
appeal; it leaves the great question of a mans
liberty in the hands of single irresponsible per-
son, tempting him to a decision in favor of sla-
very, making no provision against mistake. igno-
rance or dishonesty. For these reasons, and be-
cause the act was forced through the house of
Representatives, under the screw of the previous
question, without any chance for discussion, de-
liberation, or amendment. the President ought to
have interposed his VETO.

THE ARCTIC ExPEDITroN.-The piece OF rope
found at Port Riley turns out to have belonged
to Sir John Franklin's party. The Daily News,
on competent authority, says, "that there can
now be no doubt that Sir John Franklin has
passed up Wellington Inlet; that his ships are
probably frozen in there; and that the encamp-
ment at Port Riley was formed by a detachment
sent to be on the lookout for vessels who return
ed to their ships when their provisions were OK
hansted. or when the winter set in" There !:

StNGtrAR fNtfDENr-A long tthi1e IN dying.
Considerable excitement exists in Kensngton,
N. H., in consequence of the finding of Mr..
Gilman Lamprey, oil that place, apparently dead
in his chair, several days since; but who, after
keeping week, exhibits none of the signs Of
real death. Mr.. L., up to the time he was thus
found, had been as well as usual; and no salts
factory cause for this singular state of things is
yet found. We are told that, at the end Of the
week, the countenance retains its full color; and
that, aside from the Inconsistencies which has
prevailed from the FIRST there are no indications
of death. A few years since brother of this
person, his wife and their son, all come to their
death by suicide!

Interesting Letter from Ex-Governor
shannon.


Gov. Shannon of Ohio, in a letter to his fami-
ly, dated San Francisco, August 26th, gives the
following dark picture of California:
"That California presents at this time bad
prospect for those DESTROYS to emgrate to that
country. And he hopes that no more of his
friends will be found coming there. The great

cheney to support them. All the localities where
gold is found are becoming SO greatly crowded
that it is with difficulty place can be secured.
Every branch Of business is becoming crowded.

more are expected. One individual failed for

is, there must be one grand crash here. Ihave
lost some fees by these failures.

ANOTHER CASE UNDER THE FUGITIVE LAWS.
"A Southern man at Pittsburg who came to
arrest slave named Jones, who swore that the
negro whom he pointed out had been his slave
two years since, but had run away, and who
claimed his delivery up to him by the "commis;
sioner," was thwarted in his purpose under the
the law. He got hold ofthe wrong man, for all
the old residents in Pittsburg knew that Jones
had lived in that city for over twenty years.
The claimant was committed to prison for per-
jury and Jones went on his way rejoicing. At
ter laying in Jail four days, the claimant was re-
leased on $1,000 bail.

THE MoRMoNs AT BEAVER IsLAND--A Muss.
Beaver Island, as our readers are aware, is an
island in the Western part of Lake Michigan,
settled by the aLatter day Saints, under the sPr-
tual temporal and physical government OF Proph,,
ct Strang, formerly of Voree, in this State, and
Adams, another worthy of the same class. only
not quite so much so. Strang's ideas of family
obligations, and of the rights of property being
quite peculiar, and as he generally carried out his
views, as he had opportunity, some of the breth-
rem became dissatisfied with him, and made
choice of Adams, to lead on the revolt. There
upon, Strang had himself proclaimed .'King of
the whole earth" Some Of the more democrat
ic Of the brethren, however, applied to the proper
U. s. authorities and the King and prophet was
arrested, consigned to the jug in Mackinaw, on
complaint for bigamy, theft, treason and other
choice crimes Indictments were found against
him and he gave bail to appear.

| HE WoMAN's RIGHTS CONVENTION. COLI
vention ofpersons friendly to the elevation ofwo-
men was held at dorchester, on the 23d ult-
There was very large number Of delegates pre-
sent. Mrs. Pauna Wright Davis, of Rhode Is
land, was chosen President of that body, and
William H. Charming, of Boston, and Sarah
Tyndale, of Pennsylvania, Vice Preside nts.-
Hannah Darlington and Joseph C. Hathaway
acted as Secretaries.
The President, on taking the chair, made an
eloquent address, in which she expounded the
doctrine of human rights at great length, and as
serted the perfect equality OF the sexes and their
Joint right to all the blessings of existence. The
address was somewhat more abstract and meta
| physical than is usual at such meetings, but was
received with applause. Mrs. Lucretia Mott
objected to one or two phrases, but approved OF
the general sentiment and STYLE ssaes
The business committee, in one of the various
sessions, reported the following resolutions:
| Whereas, The very contracted sphere of ac-
ton prescribed for Women, arising from an I'M
! Just view OF her nature, capacities, and powers,
and from the infringement of her just rights, as
an equal with man, is highly injurious to her
physical, mental and moral development, there
fore e - tANR a
Resolved, That we will not cease our earnes
endeavors to secure for her political, legal and
social equality with man, until her proper sphere
is determined, by what alone should determine it,
her powers and capacities, strengthened and re-
fined by an education in accordance
Resolved, That every human being, of full
age, and resident for proper length of time on
| the soil of the nation, who is required to obey
the law; is entitled to a voice in its enactment;
that every such person whose property or labor
is taxed for the support of the government, is en-
h..
fore,
Resolved, That women are clearly entitled to
the right of suffrage and to be considered eligible
to office, the omission to demand which on their
part is palpable recr eancy to duty; and the de-
NAL of which is gross usurpation on the part
of man-no longer to be endured-and that eve
ry party which claims to represent the humani-
ty, the civilization and the progress of the age,
is bound to inscribe on its banners, equally be-
fore the law without distinction of sex or color.
Resolved, That civil and political rights ac-
knowledge no sex, and therefore the word "male''
should be stricken from every state consttu-
ton. ve-
These resolutions were discussed with more
or less force by Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Mott, Mrs
Price, Mr.. Charming, and Wendell Phillips
The aim of the various speeches was to establish
the following points.
lst That women have the same right to de-
velope their whole nature, as men, and there fore
should have the same opportunity.
Cd. That all professions and trades, with the
rewards of labor, should be made as free to fe-
males as they are to males.
3D. That political rights and franchises should
not be held as the exclusive possession of one
sex. fa
The proceedings appear to have been conduc-
ted with harmony.
