BEAUTIFUL lNsCRlPTIoN.-We observe,
from the Chicago Journal, that number
Of the tribes of Western Indians propose
to contribute a stone to the Nation Monu-
ment, with the following inscription:
"This step the red man gives to the pale.
face, to build him path to better hunt
ing ground" The stone is TO be taken from
the "Starved Rock" in illinois, as the In
dams havs no quaries from which it can
be taken. The Legend of the "Starved
Rock" which is doubtless familiar to our
readers, gives additional interest to the con-
tribution and the inscription.

HYBRID COTTON.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I have been asked by
several friends, and written 20 by others, for
my opinion about the crossing and mixing
Of cotton. ] proceed to give il 10 them
through your paper, and, as usual, beg
leu to remember that il is the opinion Of
only one man, and that do not pretend to
bS~perfect.
think cotton will mix, and that thus
cross breed may be raised, but only done
through The bloom, My reason Tor stating
thus plainly iS, that I have been asked il
there could be a mixture by roots. think
Il possible only, that the wind might blow
the reproductive matter from one plant, up
on the proper organs in another plant, and
thus qualification might take place; but this
iS barely possible from the shape Of the
bloom. feel we'll assured that this docs
taAe place by The means Of bugs, flies or
insects in general, passing from one bloom
TO another, but not to the extent that many
suppose. Thinking that so soon as the
bloom opens, or al that time, the slRmens
(male apparatus Of fower) burst, and
give out the dust, which is received by the
pistil (ihe female organ) and Is thus ffuc,i-
fed. This PisIil, or Pistillum contains the
OYules, or young seeds within the Ovary,
and must be lructifed by the dust contained
in III, stamcns. Thus a bee, If entering
the blooms early enough, may bring about
q hybrid. La some genera Of plants, we are
told that il is necessary TO open the bloom
aud cut away the stameus, (as they burs
and fructify the Pislil early) il we wish Il
make a cross; and why not so in the cotton
plant?
My own opinion is. tina; the varieties are
not caused BY hyhridizing; that it is only the
result Of nature, in throwing off myriads q
varieties. have seen cotton, on one place

webster Mob in Springfield.

Instigntcd by the Springfield Republican,
the swell mob of Springfield have been bav-
ing little excitement about George Ehomp-
son. Thompson, Garrison and Phillips were
announced to speak at Hampden Hall on
Monday night :" for the purpose, we presume,
said the Republican, of denouncing the
American Constitution, libeling the Christian
Church, aud abusing the greatest and best
men, living and dead, that have ever inn
pressed their names upon our country's his
tory" What right had the Springfield iiun-
ky TO presume any such thing? Thompson
has never, in any of his speeches, denounced
the American Constitution or the Christian
Church. Ii he has attacked men, he has
done no more than the Springfield Repnbli-
can does every day. The Republican also
publishes a copy of handbill containing
the lie that Thompson is paid emissary and
spy of England, aud similar stuff. The Re-
publican knew that the lie was dend and rot
ten months ago, aud that none but knaves
aud fools would publish il again, yet Il has
no word of rcbuke for the filthy authors of
Il. On the contrary, while hypocrltically
talking about law aud order il Is evidently
aiming to raise n mob. Its language is al
most exactly like that which the New York
Herald and Globe used when they got up the
New York mob.
The dcvoutly religious disciples Of the
Springfield paper were so eager to have the
"Chrsinn Church" properly honored, that
OF Sunday morning they hung Thompson
aud John Bull in efigy from one of the
trees in Court Square, where the images
remained until noon.
The result of all this Websterian fuss was
that the proprietors of llampden Hall were
notified Ivy the Seectmon that they should
not be responsible for any injury to the Hall
hy the mob, aud they decided not to allow
MIR. Thompson to speak. No meeting was
held. A great crowd of men and boys,
however, assembled and mude the evening
noisy aud turbulent until n late hour.
Yesterday Thompson, Phillips and Qnin-
cy spoke, in the forenoon, without being
molested. In the evening the rowdies were
out again, and burnt Thompson il efligy a
second time. A great time for the Spring
field grog-shops.-L LotreI american.

SPRINeFIELD, Mass, Feb. 25, 1851.
The instigators of the riot here are in hot
water. Mr.. Simmons Unitarian ninister)
gave Homer Foot g. Co. one of the most
scaIhing, demolishing discourses from his
pulpit last Sunday ever heard, from Acts
10: "a. lie took his stand side hy side with
Thompson aud bis associates-declared his
own rights were invaded in their persons
showed the people that Messrs. Thompson,
Quincy, Phillips, &c., were gentlemen
'ncither robbers of churches nor blasplem-
ers of their rcligion'-and were engaged in
a Christian, plnlnnthropic work. That the
whole town wns pow dangling, with the
ropes (which hung the efligies around its
neck, TO the gaze Of the Whole world. The
insligators of the riot-the Regulators self
appointed Committee, Selectmen-ull were
whipped soundly and though he deprecated
the riot in Boston, in Shadrach's case, yet he
held il up as all that was honorable, just, hu-
name, manly and bold, compared with the
meun, cowardly, inhuman aud night-work-
ing rioters of Springfield. Mr.. S. fully iden-
tilted himself with the abolitionisls. lie
was urged TO abstain from preaching as he
did before he went into the pulpit, and yes
terday committee waited upon him TO urge
him to take back what he had said; but he
remains steadfast and lmInovable, and he
told the committee that he considered well
what he did before he committed himself.
Well, last evening the Regulators howl
ed again, for the miseries that do come upon
them. Henry Ward Beecber lectured oil
Character; and we suppose his feelings,
wrought up by the recent proceedings, led
him to modify his lecture TO suit this region,
and the way he came ont upon slavery, the
Fugitive Slave Bill, and the defenders Of the
Union, was caution; and when he closed
his lecture, he advanced in front of the desk,
and poured forth torrent upon the hends
of the inhuman wretches who sustain slave
nv and the Fugitive Slave Bill.
Things are working finely. Agitation IS
all over town. We are getting up petition
for George Thompson to return, and are go
ing to ask the leading men TO sign ll..Labe-

Limitations of Obedience 10 Law.


I4 10 deny that there is limit TO obedience
z one among the strange propositions which
tle great struggle of the time has brought 10
ihe light Of day. Why, even the noted apol-
oRlst OF Slavery, the Reverend DIR. Fuller,
PIE champion of Slaveholding morality, was
Fiuctantly driven to confess that he could
notpay obedience to the law of Carolina
winch prohibited all instruction 10 the slaves.
And shall the reverend Divine incur blame
ior tllls decision from his swilter-footed
brethren of the North? Are they prepared
70 tell linn that, had they been in his place,
thcr duty to God would hive prompted them
% do differently? Why, the conscience even

scriptures, taught them better system of
morality than this. ln one Of the most beau

considerations, what is the answer of Anti
gone TO his demand? Let the translation of
the play speak as well as il can for her.
When Creon asks how she has dared TO
transgress the laws, she thus replies:
" For this just cause, that not the voice Of Jovc
Nor holy HIGHT that with the gods below

OF every render around the horrid lhte of her
who suffers the penalty of the law for doing
what she believes to be her duty, and has
left, lealhen though he was, to learned Doc

OF saving the "leg,inate authority" from

Who is the Infid.li

Tho New York Observer, advising a man
who has two fugitive slaves in his employ,
what to do if they are claimed, teaches the
following;-
"If the master has done nothing to forfeit
his claim, the slave who flies from his SER
vice, does him torong, for tehich he Is bound 10
make repnrdtion."
"Wrongs" his master, by assuming to own
himself and denying that he is a chattel!-
The New York Observer has respectable
horror of infdels and favors sending mis-
sionaries to convert the heather. 1t will he

than itself, if this is fair specimen of iii
practical Christianity. II would be well, il
il could have just sense of it's own hea-

ANSWER OF JESUS TO THE CoMPRoMIsER.
MANY OF the respectable clergy who find
something solid ia this argument that the
Fugitive law ought TO be sustained on ac-
count Of IFS association with something that
is betterl will do well TO refresh their rccol-
lection Of u cerinin conversation reported in
the fourth chapter OF Saint Matthew'S gospel,
wherein the tempter is represented as prOpos-
ing contract OF just the same nature to the
fasting aud hungered Savior. From an tex
eeeding high mountain" the arch fiend show
ed him "ull the kingdoms OF the world and
the glory of them," and all those things he
offered 10 him, if he would only do one lit
Gle thing that would cost no great labor. A
single sign of worship, a mere acknowledge
ment of submission was all that was requir-
cd TO obtain the reward. To this " fair bust
ness transaction" what was the Savior's an-
swer? Did he stop TO reason about the ex-
tent of the sacrifice required-did he dwell
upon the value OF the consideration? Did
he think that in exchange for the good TO be
obtained, he might acquiesce in tittte evil
No. His answer was instantaneous, and II
wns short, but ii was highly Significant
acct thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shall icOrship the Lord thy God, and
Him OyVL y shalt thou serpe." The reply is
worth volume of that kind of casliistry
preached In many of our pulpits at the
present day, which is doing much TO thin the
shurches, andto increase the lukewarmness
Of attendance upon preaching, which so
