The PEACE CoNGREss AND ELIHU Bun.
RITZ. We copy from the London Nonconformisl
of August 20, the following notice of the cordial
manner with which the address OF our fellow towns
man EIihu Burritt was greeted at the recent Con.
gress of the Friends of Peace held at Frankfort in
Germany.
The last of the prepared resolutions of the Con.
gress called Ehhu Burri to the Tribune, and at his
appearance, applause again and again renewed.
burst forth from every part Of the vast building and
was succeeded by death-like stiffness as the ora
tor, with eyes fixed aloft, and in clear. measured
tones, developed, and endeavored to show the feast;
blty of, the plan which has absorbed so much Of
his thoughts and energies. To almost all present.
the scene was one of unique interest. The great
apostle OF Universal Brotherhood rapt in the great
scheme before him, seemed insensible to all outward
influences, and hastened away from the present to
the grand future which his poetic mind has already
brought into life. He seemed to realize tho sont;.
ment applied to Shakespeare, that he first exhausted
old worlds, andIIthen imagined new Mr.. Burritt.
like all the opponents great truths, is regarded by
men OF practical character as dreamy enthn
slast; but let any man, sober-mnded as he NAV be
SIT down and estimate what he has already accom-
plished, and he will not only confess that there i
.'method in his Madness but that many Utopia
has acquired a local habitaton and name through
his unring activity and simple earnestness of pur
pose. AS ne descended from the tribune he must
nave ielt although not discouraged by the thought
that ne had come down from the bright world With
er ne had been soaring, that while mountains of diff
iculties and obstacles were vet to be hewn down
before this earth could be lifted up to the region of
his hopes, that the hearty greeting of the hundreds of
friends around him was pledge that he would not
labor alone.

Let not thy young heart be wanting in courage,

Cattle show.

To-day comes off the Annual Cattle Show and
Ploughing Match Of the Worcester County Agricultural
Society. Of course every body and his wife will be
here from the adjacent towns and if the weather is as
pleasant as now promises to be- at the time of this
writing, we may expect to streets crowded with
large concourse of strangers in addition to our own
population. The Farmers Jubilee is always good
day for trade, coming does at the season of the
year when the prospective necessities of the coming
season, warn men to provide for their future comfort
and we believe our merchants were never more able
than at present to supply the of their country
neIghbors newspaper is perhaps the best directory
that one can have to the places where one can obtain
the worth OF his money, and the readers of the Spy
cannot therefore be in fault as to where to make tler
purchases The address Of Mr. Tracy will not be pub
lie as has heretofore been the CUSTOM but will be delv
cred at the dinner table at the City Hail. to which those
only who have tickets can be admitted at ~ oclock.
Tickets can be obtained at the office of the CITY Mar
shai. Those OF the editorial fraternity who would at
tend will be expected as usual TO pay for their tickets
tat courtesy which in other places is usually extended
TO the press, having been adopted in the heart of
the Commonwealth. The Agricultural Society's Ball
will be at Brinley Hail. The Ladies ofthe Union So
cety (Rev. Mr.. Smalleys) will hold fair in tina yestry
under their church in Front ST. and the Ladies of the
onIversalist. Society viii hold another at Warren Hail.
Tor further particulars concerning which, see advertise
ments.
Mr. Adams and DIR. Van Austen will doubtless have
their hands full Of business and their rooms full of
visitors through the day. None can excel them in the
perfection and finish Of their Daguerreotypes
The Horticultural Exhibition will doubtless be the
great centre of attraction for the fair sex especially
and no one should leuye Worcester without glimpse
at least of the splendid display of the choicest pro-
ducts of the fields, orchards and gardens of Worcester
County. There, they will see peaches, bushing with
the admiration that their behoding creates; pears as
melting as bit of DR.. Hayward's ice in dog DAYS
grapes, such old Silenus tasted or dreamed Of
apples, four peck, luscious in taste as tempting
in their looks; plums, that will make people envous of
the who raised them; flowers, only excelIed by the
happy faces and bright eyes, which reflect their lowell
ness; with tremendous squashes, mammoth pumpkins,
huge potatoes, long beets, fair tnips, cabag
es, and delicious MELONS without number.
The ploughing match, we presume, will come of
'omeoae, although up to the time Of going press, We
iad not heard exactly where we trust is not owing
the low state of the Societys funds, that no public
has been made. We would advise all
hose who wish to be present and see "The shining
hare turn up the mellow soil" to DO the common in
God season, and foiiow the erowd.

The Slaves Dream.

By II. w. LoNGFELLow.
Beside the ungathered rice he lay,
His sickle in his hand;
His breast was bare, his matted hair
Was buried in the sand.
Again, in the mist and shadow of sleep,
He saw his native land.
Wide through the landscape Of his dreams
The lordy Niger flowed;
Beneath the palm trees on the plain
Once more king he strobe;
And heard the tinkling caravans
Descend the mountain read.
He saw once more his dark-eyed queen
Among her children stand;
They clasped his neck, they kissed his cheeks,
They held him by the hand
A tear fell from the sleeper's lids,
And fell into the sand.
And then, at furious speed he rode
Along the Myers bank;
His bride reins were golden chains,
And with martial clank
AT each leap he could feel his scabbard of steel
Shifting his stations flank.
Before him, like a blood-red flag,
The bright iamingoes few;
Frem morn till night he followed the fight,
Der the plains where the tamarind grew,
Till he saw the roofs of the Caffea huts,
And the ocean rose to view.
At night he heard the lion roar,
And the hyena scream,
And the river horse as he crushed the reeds
Behind some hidden stream;
And it passed, like glorious roll of drums,
Through the triumph of his dream.
The forests, with their myriad tongues,
Shouted Of liberty;
And the blast of the desert cried aloud,
With voice so wild and free,
That he started in his sleep and smiled
AT their tempestuous glee.
He did not feel the drivers whip,
Nor the burning heat of day;
For death had umined the land of sleep,
And his lileless body lay,
A wornout fetter, that the soul
Had broken and thrown away!

Our Representatives VS.. Texas Boundary
Bill.


The question has been again and again asked why no
effort was made in the House to amend the Texas
Boundary Bill; and last, member, in reply to the
New York Tribune, who to have in his mind the
adage that ga poor is better than none, says
that efforts made but were rendered unavailing
because the speaker would look at any one who
upon the free soil side That gentleman had no eye for
anything but the Texas Appropriations no eye towards
anybody but his party Gentlemen rose as num-
erousy in succession, the phantom kings did before
the eyes of Macbeth, and they spread their chests
and held cut their hands, and hemmed but the
impossible speaker looked only to Mr.. Boyd and so
the most dsgraceful act upon the American stat
ute book carried.
We admire the simplicity of the who could ad-
venture this apology for ofhe fragrant negects
of duty and of the glaring exhibitions of supine
and cowardice that have yet been in the
House Of Representatives and it would increase our ad
mraton to know whether he believed it satisfactory or
not. How would such an apology have sounded from
the mouth of John QuincJ Adams
Hewoud have found means to attract the ewes of all
the speakers in the House, and to have fixed them
too He would have shaken the provisions of this dis.
graceful bill through the seive of comparative analysis
despite of the speakers affected blindness, and of the
moral oPthama that corupts the vision of the majority
in Congress
We have fallen amongst pigmies after all in these lat
ter days. One obuse speaker, because he happens t.
keep his eye fixed upon Mr. Boyd, renders upwards O
seventy men Ihors du combat. He extinguishes thei

flight. We cannot admit this excuse. Whatever ma
be said on the subject; the fact stands recorded TIL
liberty has been betrayed, and the men who did n
combat this bill to the last are amongst her betravers
