been elected in Paris by great majority and
what makes this event more significant of the
defeat Of the secret monarchical designs of Lou

Sue received full half of the votes of the army

helpless. Theirs, VITO has all along favored

Republican principles, are more cheering than
they have been for long time The President
has been continually putting forth his leelers in
different shapes for the last year, and the result
has uniformly been, that whenever any of his
anti-repubcan designs have been developed, he
has been signalIy rebuked by the people, the
first opportunity they had for doing it. till he and
his party have been frightened to forego their
ambitious policy, understanding, by this time,
probably, that few steps more in the line they
had marked out, would result in their overthrow

Clairvoyant and the Parlxman
Murder.

A statement has been forwarded to this
city, and placed in the hands Of Professor
Bfondon, by whom it was transferred to
Mr.. l., Duke, Counsellor at Law, to the
effect that claryoyant named Fritz, in
Northern New York, had recently made the
most extraordinary revelations in relation 10
the Parkman murder.
The clairvoyrnt is youth often years of
age, OF German parentage, and hrs never
left his native place, being pat in the mes
meric sleep.
Young Fritz described with extraordinary
mlnutencss, the towns and cities on the way
to Boston, then the medical college, where
the bloody deed was alleged to have been
perpetrated, the manner in which the act was
committed and finally the precise spot in
Ch1rles River, where the body of DR. Park
man can ROW be found,
The matter will be placed in the hands of
r. G. Shaw Esq, who will pursue the in
vestigtion or not, as circumstances may die
tate. 1t is altogether very singular case,
and doubtless will afford considerable food
for the lovers of the marvellous, before it is
concluded, -New Yrk Globe.

There is good deal Of feeling manifested as
to the course Congress may think proper to take
with regard to the admission of California as
State with her present constitution. The south
ern chiralyy may oppose her admission as much
as they please, but. they never can plant slavery
here.
In the first place, the soil and climate are not
favorable to slave labor. In the next place the
people Of California, to o man almost, are utter
~ opposed to the establishment Of slavery. II
Congress should SO far forget her duty rs not to

10 themselves, their whole conduct goes to show
that they construe it to embrace the privilege Of
meddng with slavery as much as they please.
The North, under their construction, must not
interfere with the interests of slavery, but the
South may interfere continually, by getting up
new and unconstitutona laws to protect, and
push it into free territories. The North must
not discuss or agitate it, but the South seems to
be at full liberty both to preach and propagate
it. We have but little notion of becoming non
interventionists ourselves, but when we do, we
shall insist that the non intervention be not all
on one sidc-and we would respectfully suggest
to the friends Of the administration that, before
they proceed much farther in recommending it,
they look about them little, and see if they full
ly understand the definition Of the term, or at
least the application which the South will be
sure to make of ii the moment they adopt the
policy which goes under that name.

Non whatever How can the Administration
be approved for what was condemned in Gen.
Cass Butt is now said by one who occupies
a distinguished place IN wing councils, tMr.
Webster that the ordinance of 1887 should not
be applied to our territories, that it is wholly I'M
necessary, that the physical geography" of the
country cffecIGally excludes slavery. Sir, this
was not the opinion of the last Congress-, of the
northern wing Of the Wing party in and out of
Congress. Mr.. Clayton's compromise bill, us it
was termed was formed on the basis of ron
Intervention. 1t proposed 10 establish territorial
governments over California and New Mexico,
without affirming or prohibiting the existence of
slavery, and leaving the right Of taking slaves
into those territories to be determined by The
Judiciary. This was denounced by the Wing
press Of the North and opposed by the northern
Wings III Congress, on the ground of Its non
Intervention feature. Then we had Mr.. Walk
or's amendment to the appropriation bill, which
was opposed and defeated for the same reason
Sir, did time permit, should like to read some
extracts from Wing speeches, and from editorial
articles i'll Wing papers Of the North, in which
the non intervention principle of those bills was
condemned in the strongest language. Why,
sir, the distinguished Senator from my own
State, (Mr, Phelps) who supported Mr.. Clay
toms bill in n speech of great power, and upon
the very grounl now TAX N by Mr.. Webster,
was cepsured for his course by very large ma
jority of his own party in that State. In speak
ing Of this measure the Atlas, Of July 26, 1913
rsays:
"The best place 10 put such bills is on the
table. Chorotorm them"
The c2ssDaRAtfUot Of f5y Ete so to io
to the bill, and The vote to lay it on the table
saying:
"Therc is great exultation over the fact, that
while every southern democrat voted against the
motion, twenty one Northern Democrats voted
with them. Williams and Clark of Maine
Binsall Of New York, and nineteen olhel
northern men with southern principles thus
virtually expressed desire to entail slavery il
four great territories in common with Other
friends of Gen. Cass"
This, it will be remembered, was previous tc
the presidential election. Now 1t is passed
our Wing friends are in power-and now they
go for the very measure, in its results, which
they condemned in 1913. So much for lbei
policy and consistency.

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.

Z We would call the attention Of those afflicted
with obstinate coughs bronchitis, asthma, and
all that class of diseases, which, if not seasonal
bly, cured, are the precursors of consumption and
death, to the advertisement of Dr. Aver, which
we are this year publishing.
His remedy does not seem to stand on the
ground of ordinary patent medicines, since Its
use is recommended by many eminent physi
clans, and, indeed, by the Organ of the faculty
in New England, The Boston Medical Journal,
the last TO favor quacke'y in anything. Were
we thus afflicted, we should certainly try 1t, and
that, too, with much faith in its efficacy.

A NEW PRO-SLAVERY PAPER
AT WASHINGTON.

We learn from the National Era, that a meet.
ing Of the Southern members of Congress was
held ut Washington on the 9Th inst, for the a
vowed object establishing newspaper in that
place, to be devoted solely to the advocacy and
defence of slavery and its connected interests.
The meeting, which as usual, when the peculiar
institution is concerned, was composed of wings
and democrats, adopted an address to the
Southern people, in behalf of the object, signed
by Messis, Butler, Morton, Tooulbs and Thomp-
son, the committee appointed at a preliminary
meeting for that purpose.
This is q new and bold movement on the part
Of the South. Teny eurs ago no Southern states
man, though palliations might be attempted, dare
risk his reputation by coming ont openly in the
defence and advocacy Of slavery. Calhoun and
McDuhey were then the fist to venture on the
untenablo ground-and though their arguments
and doctrines were greeted with storms of hiss
cs, ridicule, scorn and adherence, from all CHRIS
tendon, out of their own morally debased and
and perverted South-yet they soon found 9TH
ers 10 back them, and their numbers have con-
tiuucd to increase till the present session ofcon-
gress. when adopting what they and their apollo.
giss have affected SO to despse in the abolition
ists-that of being one idea party, they now
have become, by forgetting all former party is
sues and distinctions. bnndred fold moro par
ty Of one idea in the support of slavery, thar
were ever their opponents against it. And mol
content with going down to the certain perdhior
to which the appalling curse and load ofslayery
is SO evidently reducing rhem,-.they seem de-
termincl to dras the fee States along with
them.
This, and every thing else, al the present time
cousplre to show that the crisis is at hand, wheI
the North must fight and conquer, or submit ant
become the political yassals of the South, scarce
ly less ahject than the slaves themselves-aye

The Omnibus Bill.

THIS infamous compromise bill Is hanging by
the giIls in the Senate, dead, as some say, bat
according to others, soon to be taken in hand
and passed by an already ascertained majority
in that once, but not now, dignifed body. The
flare up of several Southern members against
the bill, may be all 'atse to hull suspicion, and
cntrap Northern Members into its support We
hope this may not be the case, but it would be
so like the Southern system of tactics for over
reaching the North that we are justified il
looking sharply at every white heap that may
appear in that qualter The editor of the Low
ell American, who is not easily gulled, says thai
Notwithstanding all the cry of failure, explosion
&c, of the scheme, there is reason enough t.
believe it will pass the Senate and fear enough
of its passage in the House.

The Useful Avis.

A bill to promote the progress of the useful
arts, lately introduced into Congress, proyides-
l. That a record of all applications for re-
issue Of patents, or an addition to patents, and
all declamers and all the correspondence on the
same, shall be kept in The Patent Office.
g That in case of the rejection of an applica-
cation for reissue, or an additional patent, the
commissioner shall record his reasons, and refer
to the records upon which they are founded.
g. That certified copies of such reasons and
records against any re.issuing &c, shall be fur
nished on demand, on payment of the legal fees
for the same.
d. Provides for fair hearing of any person
opposed to reissue or additional patent, upon
an invention already patented
3. Limits re ISSUE &c, to specifications and
models, and declares they shall not have a ret
respective operation.
s. Provides by writ of scire facius, for a tr-
