PROSPERITY OF THE UNITED
STATES

The London Examiner. discoursng
upon this subject has the following:
"lhc prosperity is attractive. and
it is the boast of some of the journals,
that while the members of Congress
are daily threatening Il dissolution of
the Union, ncighboring States and
countries are anxious to be admitted
members of it. Canada talks of an.
ncxa'ion; California is pressing for
admission; Cuba is ready to Join it.
and is only withheld by the power Of
Spain, and the modcsty and integrity
of the United States in refusing to ac-
ccdc to its wishes and to grant some
assistance TO accomplish them. Mex.
leo has laid aside, it is said, its hostile
feelings. and its people are looking
forward earnestly and anxiously to
Incorporation. Central America, too,
is soliciting IL closer connection, and
hoping for the time to come when it
shall form part Of the great republic
that is to stretch over The whole con.
tineni.
Events are advancing rapidly,
though the Congress may stand still.
Society will not wait for its leave to
live, and thrive. and grow. and will, in
some way or other settle the slavery
question; perhaps before Congress has
done talking about it. In America il

SUMMARY VENGEANCE.--Th muir.
der Il month or two ago, by a white
man and negrcss, of Mrs Allen. n lady
living in the vlcinity of Liberty, near
the Missouri river. is remembered by
many of our readers. The murder
was pcrpc,ratcd with a view of ob
tanning $4,000. the proceeds, it was
believed by the negress and her ac-
complete. of the recent sale Of her
farm. Before the preparation of the
crime, 4 regular bargain was struck.
that, as soon as the money was OBJ
tanned, they were to be married and
to cmigralc to California.
From the officers of the steamer
Julia, we ascertain that when it be-
came known that the only proofs
against the guilty parties. were the
declarations of the negro woman her
self. and some slight corrobora1ivc
circumstances. all hopes Of the r con.
viction by regular course OF law
having ceased. the citizens of the
locality determined themselves to al.
minister Justice. The man and wo>
man were secured, and. followed by Il
large crowd Of people, taken to Lib
erty. A jury. composed Of twelve
persons. was appointed. and the case
reviewed from beginning to end when
they were found guilty. and sentenced
to be hung. Another procession was
formed. aud toe multitude, with the
prisoners in their midst. repaired to
the woods. Here the first tree ser
we'd as a gibbet. Both were hung
until they were dead.--St. Louis

THE PowEn or INrEREsT.--ln the
wear 1852, the island which now con.
s,lu'cs the city and county of New
York, was purchased Of the Indians
for sixty gui!dcrs, or twcnty.Ionr
dollars.
This seems cheap. Yet if the pur-
chasers had invested the said sum Of
twenty four dollars at compound in.
lcrosl at per cent. the accumulated
capital on such investment would, in
this wear. 1850. amount to siXty.live
millions of dollars; in other words
twenty four dollars so invested would
now be worth more than the CITY and
county of New York, dcducting what
has been expended upon the real
estate. since it was purchased from
til" Indians. Ergo, the land (or is.
IanD was not cheap, for the purchaser
couIdhavc done better with his money.

On Tuesday tho 2sth inst, Of Scarlet Fever
ALFRED GOODMAN, son of John +. and Matilda
Thomas, aged years and months. Death
comes to us in many forms, and tears from us
our cherished ones; but whca bright happy
childhood falls beneath its stroke, when the lit
tie prattcr, whose innocent spirit is Just drink
ing IN litc's beauties, is ca He'd from us, we feel
lnclindcd to mtrmur at the decree, though our
reason, aud our religion whispers Of another
sphere, where He roi.ns who spake those blessed
words, @'suilur little children 10 come unto me. "
The little one whose death is rcLo ded above,
was a child OF peculiarly interesting disposition
his sweet voice just lsping forth those house
hold words 50 dear to us all, and his infant mud
already expanding with promise OF high inlelIl-
gcncc. But just as his fond parents and loving
friends felt the tcndrlls Of their hearts, twlhinS
closer aroud hun, God saw fit to call him hence
to make one Of his shining iamily above, and III
that thought comes comfort 10 the wounded
heart.
"Ycs thou art fled, ere guilt had power
To stain thy cherub soul and form,
Closed is the soft cphemeral flower,
That never felt storm
The sunbeam's smile, the zephyr's breath
All that it knew from birth to death. :.
