u Mr.. CLAY grows facetious in his old age.
In the report from the committee of thirteen, he
says it would be unsafe to allow the fugitive
slave trial by jury in any Of the states 10 which
they have fled, as the prejudices of the people
would overcome the just demands of the master,
but thai the person claimed may not suffer, ne
shall have such trial in the state to which he has
been dragged, the southern courts, says Mr..
Clay, always leaning to the side of freedom.
We rather think this idea with regard to the bias
of southern courts, if it does not excite laughter,
will excite good deal of surprise that it has not
before been discovered. Joking aside, the pro-
position of the committee through Mr.. Clay, re-
ferrng to the re-capture of fugitive slaves, is in
famous. All slave hunter from the south has
got to do. is to 60 into the northern states with an
er parte record from a competent tribunal, adju-
dlcating the facts of elopement and slavery with
a general description of the fugitive, and demand
the assistance of any Marshal, deputy Marshal,
Post Master, or other United States officer, to
put in his custody the person so claimed. When
the fugitive arrives at his place of destination in
Arkansas or Texas, he has the right of trial. His
color throws the burthen of proof on him, so he
has TO send thousand miles for father. mother,
sister, brother, or soma one, to come to a state
where the laws prohibit any free person of color
from entering, TO prove his freedom. But is use
less to unravel further, the plot of these hoary
man-stealers at the seat of government to make
an easy and wholesale operation of the misera-
bic traffic. Any person with half an eye will
sec thar with such law there will be strife
among the southern kidnappers as to who shall
first get here with general descriptions of the free
colored population, TO hurry them TO southern
market, and once across the line ofthe free states
that bourne is reached from whence no colored
traveller returns. 1t is simply plan to enslave
the whole colored population of the north, and
when the author of it passes hence the devil can
take play spell, for he will have found one ca
pable of taking charge of his affairs.

D-We would suggest to the Wisconsin Ar
gus that contempt" is a word we are not in the
habit of using and it is simply an untruth on the
part of that sheet to ascrbe to us, as it did, an
expression containing it. God, in his wisdom,
has made nothing for which we or any one else
has right to feel " contempt" and there is Nc
thing so mean, not even the editors of the Argus,
for which we have that feeling. We have puy
for them that they deny themselves the pleasure
which would flow from the possession of ordina-
ry honesty and decency, but as they are intended
doubtless for some wise purpose in this world Of
good and evil, we have no contempt for them.
As to the contempt" felt Tor us BY others, it is
a matter which affects those who feel it, not us
for whom it is intended. Truth is not put up or
down by contempt" and if it be desirable to
overthrow us or our "humbugs," it will be ne
cessary to use some more reliable weapon. We
have just vanity - enough to be entirely imper-
vous to all such modes of warfare.

more or less successful and their receipts varied
in amount as they were allowed TO dig for the

bag, which owing TO the action of the water bad
rotted, and then left its precious contents buried
in the mud of the canal. The poor men who

THE MURDER IN HENRY COUNTY.

II appears from the newspaper reports that
Erck Janson, who was shot dead in the Court
House at Cambridge, was sort Of mongrel,
temporal and spiritual leader of the Swedes, in
that region-for some reason or other which
does not yet appear, he had been the means of
getting Roots wife and children away from him
on pretence of the great danger she was in 'of
going to He'll" if she remained with her at
tached husband. Her husband went to Chicago,
got tout legal Process and tooi the Sheriff along
with him, to help him to rescue his kidnapped
anda secreted wife and child But it seems
1t was to no purpose, as he had to return
to his desolate home, wifeless, childless and
alone-a distracted man. 1t appears now that
despair seized upon him. He was heard to say
that ne had better be dead than alive-and all
who saw him, marked his conduct as the action
OF bewildered and reason-6ereft man. In this
state of mind, he went TO Cambridge Monday
the 18th, and committed the act for which he is
now prisoner. 1t seems from th4 account,
that Mr.. Root walked into the Court House,
recognized the Pous, wife-seducing Janson, and
after lew moments conversation with him drew
a pistol from his pocket, and shot him Just above
the heart, ne died in five minutes Root made
no effort to get away, but surrendered himself
without hesitation or resistance They were
both Swedes. C.

BY reference TO the foreign news in our paper
of to-day, it will be seen that Eugene Sue has
been elected to the National Assembly of France
from the district of Paris Sue was the candi-
date of the Socialists, and represented in his own
person, the most ultra ideas of that party. His
opponent was a moderate member of the opposi-
ton, to some extent imbued with the socialist
ideas, and generally popular with all parties.
Under such circumstances, Sues triumph is an
evidence Of the complete ascendancy of the de-
mocracy in Paris, and we hope throughout
France. The effect of it will be to check the
tyrannies of the present government and its eff.
fort to mould things into shape for the re-estab-
sbment of the empire or monarchy, for Napo-
leon perceiving it to be of no use, will shape his
course more in accordance with the popular SEN
timent. 1t will have tendency too, to establish
more firmly the republic, result gratifying to
every one who desires the spread of republican
ism, for it must be evident to every one if the re-
public of France becomes permanent,itis but the
precursor of European repubcanism generally.
1t is but necessary that the leading minds OF
France should truly understand their mission TO
repubcanize the whole of Europe. National
influence is to be developed as individual infu-
cnce. We can do good just as we are good, and
as it is the business of individuals to cultivate
correct principles in themselves if they wish to
correctly influence others, so must the correct
principles of nation be cultivated to enable the
nation to sustain itself or influence those around
it. Peace and order and liberty must be the ma
tiona characteristics-the rights and interests of
the whole people must be recognized in the laws.
Such appear TO be the ideas and objects of tie
Socialist party, and its triumph conveys to US the
gratifying assurance of the growth of true re-
publicanism, on the continent of Europe.

Land Reform.

A correspondent Of the n Y Tribune, wr-
ting from Washington, says Gen. Shields is pre-
pairing land reform bill which will pass the Sc
nate by ten and the House by thirty majority
This is good news, if true. If Congress will
pass law granting the freedom of the public
lands in limited quantities to actual settlers, we
shall consider the republic safe beyond all con-
tingency. Congress cannot do mischief enough
to overcome the good which belongs to such a
measure. Restore to men their right TO the
earth; give US a nation of land-owners-of men
with homes and the means of subsistence, and
we are safe from within and without Such a
republic can never be shaken, but must grow to
fill the earth. We are confident it would settle
at once the question of slavery extension which
now agltates the country, for there is scarcely
non-extensionist in the land, who does not per-
ceive that it embraces all for which he contends
Under such law we should begin to learn true
freedom and begin to experience its blessings.
Democracy and republicanism would then mean
something, and grow to practical reality among
the people. We earnestly hope the predictions
of the Tribune's correspondent may prove to be
true.

Mr.. EDITOR AS your paper is devoted to

ting is to be held at Jacksons tavern, in Bristol.
early in June, for the purpose of forminga coun-
ty Agricultural Society.
There is no class of men to whom progress is
of more consequence, than our farmers, and what
plan is more likely to assist them than that of
meeting together for the purpose of mutual in
structon in the great business of their lives.
Till within the last few years the farmer has
kept too much in the back ground 1t is time
be began to feel that his calling is an honorable
one; that it placed no real barrier in the way of
his mental improvement, and that it does not I'M
fit him for any office of trust or honor that his
fellow citizens can bestow. Let us hope there
fore. that every farmer in the country will be at
the meeting ready to communicate or receive
knowledge, for it is fact beyond dispute, that
next to taking good newspaper, it is most i'm
portant for every farmer to belong to an Agricul-
tural Society. CLopHoPPER.
We insert the above commr nication and notice
of an agricultural meeting with great deal of
pleasure. We rope the Farmers will turn out
and take the necessary steps for an organization
that has been of so much service TO the Farmers

MENT TO MAINTAIN NEUTRALIrY.-The Spanish
Minister, Don Calderon de la Barca, has deman-
ded the interference ofthe government to prevent
the array of men, and the fitting out an expedi-
ton against Cuba The Minister is convinced
that the rumors in the main are true, and that the
vessels have been fitted out, and that 5 or 5000
men are engaged for the expedition, TO rendez-
vous at Chagres, or the Isle of Lobos.
"Gen. TAYLOR responded to the call of the
minister, by sending dispatches to the gulf
squadron TO see that the Flag of our country is
not violated. There are more than 700 miles of
the coast exposed, and it is by no means impos-
sibIe that landing will be effected, though the
whole seem like fortress.

1t would seem from indications that" compro-
misses are even more distasteful to the south
than the north. They will accept of nothing
short of their whole demand, to take slavery
at their pleasure into all the territories of the 60
vernment, and to have secured for the institution
all the immunities it has heretofore enjoyed,
whether founded in fact or fancy. We have no
objection to this, on the contrary, we are rather
pleased to see it. We have apprehended more
danger from compromises, than from an open
struggle on well defined grounds Altho' the
North has shown a disposition 10 compromise
and give up to slavery fair instalment of its de-
mands, we have confident hope that when this
ultra disposition on the part of the south becomes
clearly manifest, the north will assume its pro-
per place, and become as ultra in its demands
for freedom. 1t looks to us as if such must ne
cessarily be the attitude which the struggle will
assume in view of the demands of the south, and
to US the aspect of the contest looks now more
hopeful than at any previous period.
