THE CHRIsTIANA TRAITORS.

The trial of the Christana traitors or parsons en-.
gagged in tbs outrage in which Mr.. Gorsuch of Mary.
land lost his life, commenced at Philadelphia, on the
24h instant before Judge Grier of the United States
Circuit Court.
An extraordinary deafness appears, all at once to
have befaen the Jurors summoned to try these trail
tors. Shortly after the Court was opened, number,
some twenty or thirty-ofthe Jurors came forward
to beg to be excused from serving and the excuse
rendered, in nine cases out of ten, was deafness.
Some had urgent business to attend to, which would
suffer without their personal presence-others had
vertigo-others were too old-but the burden of the
complaints was deafness. Judge Grier at length saw
through it, and said " it seems as if the whole coun.
try is becoming deaf-an epidemic, am afraid, is
prevailing. - ....- ...
About 80 Jurors, however, appeared, and jury
was to be empanelled on the 25th, and the cases
opened.
Judge Grier seems disposed to do his duty, and
able lawyers have been employed on behalf of the
United States and the State of MARYLAND but more
contemplate sDeaking and swearing out of RESPONSE
biilty by members of Jury, we have never heard
nor read of before. Why could not these Jurors come
out like men, and say at that they believed the
fugitive law unjust and unconstitutional, and that
therefore, they could not do Justice in the premises
But no-they must sneak out of the di6icuItv. and
throw the responsibility of indicating the Consttu.
ton of the United States on other mems shoulders
This, Unjust be confessed, is an unfortunate be-
ginning. Some of these traitors nav be convicted
and punished, but we have our doubts on the sinh.
ject. A deaf Jury is dangerous machine to deal
with. Those who are to try are, are assured in
possession of two ears each, and hear very we'll now
but 1t Is to be feared that the epidemc will have
its effect them also. '
What farce will this fugitive-slave law at once
become. if none of those who resisted the law at
Christiana and murdered Mr.. Gorsuoh. sbonld bs
punished !

NORTHERN DEMOCRACY. The conduct of the
democratic party in the free States generally is
gratifying. A whig administration has thrown it.
self upon the compromise, and has been deserted
by its own friends.
The democrats might have taken the advantage
of sectional prejudice, and utterly annihilated the
wing party in the free States. But they have
thought more of their principles and their country
than of party, and have sustained the ground of a
whlg administration against its own friends. Not
outstanding this, they are misrepresented and Ii
beled by the pretended friends of the President
But we shall not waste ink and paper in such
controversy as this any longer. 1t is plain, if the
compromise is sustained at all, it will be done by
the democracy of the free States in opposition to
the wings of that region, and without the thanks
OF the wings of the South. Lou Democrat

PROSE POETRY. The weight of many weary
year rests on my father now, and none but slvery
hairs appear above his furrowed brow; his quiet
life has not been spent in luxury and ease, but
humble scenes, with sweet content, have power his
heart to please. His hands are hard with honest
toll, but they were stained with aught of the
unholy spoil by dark oppression gained for kind
ly thoughts have ever dwelt within his open soul,
and his warm heart has never felt stern Avarice's
dark control. I never from my father heard
through all my happy life, single false deceitful
word Or one of angry strife for power or place he
has not sought but for his countrys veal his heart
has always had a thought of patriotic ZEAL The
world would call him poor indeed, and pass him
proudly by, but his calm soul will little heed the
glance of naughty eye /; he may be poor but at his
side, whene'cr take my place, feel that can
gaze with pride upon my fathers face

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET. Of all parts Of
ought to be carefully attended to as the feet.
Every person knows from experience that colds and
many other diseases which proceed from the wheel
of the SYSTEM that the circulation of the blood may
be very easily checked there.
Yet for all this, although every person of COM
mon sense should be aware of the truth of what we
have stated there is no part of the human body so
much trted with as the feet. The young, and
woudbe genteel footed cramp their feet into thin
soled Pinching boots and shoes-in order to dis
play neat feet in the fashionable sense of the term
There is great evil, against which every person
should be on their guard and It is the one which
Is not often guarded against-we mean the change
Of warm or cold boots or shoes. A change Is often
made from thick to thin-soled shoes, without re-
Election On the consequence that might ensue. In
cold weather boots or shoes made of good thick
leather, both in soles and uppers, should be worn
by all Water-:ights not good if they are air
tights also India rubber over-shoes should never
be wUrn except in wet, splashy weather. and then
not very long at once 1t is hurtful to the feet to
wear any covering that is air-tght over them, and
for this reason India rubber should be worn as sell
dom as possible. No part of the body should be
allowed to have covering that entirely obstructs
the passage of the Car bonic gas from the pores of
skin outward and the moderate passage of air in
ward to the skin. Life can be DESTROYED in a very
short time, by entirely closing up the pores of the
skin. Good warm stockings and thick soled boots
and shoes are conservative of health, and conse-
quently of human happiness

regard to Kossuth. But it will have no effect in

The New York Courier and Enquirer is Wing
concern. Its Editor, Col. James Watson Webb,
is the fortunate individual, believe, who gave the
Wings their present name. He was once Jackson
man but, getting in tight place pecuniarily, he
borrowed $4,000 from the National Bank, and soon
after turned Bank man. 1t is not at all surprising
that such man should abuse Kossuth. He would
no doubt praise him for a consideration"

| Who ARE YOUR ARIsroCRATs Twenty years
ago this one butchered, that one made candles
! another sold cheese and butter; fourth carried
on distillery another was contractor on canals;
Others were merchants and mechanics. They are
acquainted with both ends of socety-as their chill
dren will be after them. For often you shall find
that these toiling hatch butterflies, and they
live about a year.
Death brings division of property and it brings
now fnanciers; the old agent is discharged the
young gentleman takes his revenues, the end OF
which he reaches before DEATH or his children do,
if he do not. So that in fact though there is a

bring them all down, and send their children again

children strut, and use the money; their children
inherit the pride, and 90 to shftless poverty; their
children, Refrigerated by fresh pleban blood, and
by the smell of the clod, come up again. Thus
society, like tree, draws its sap from the earth,
changes it into leaves and blossoms, spreads them
abroad in great glory, sheds them off to fall back

GOLD DUG FROM AN ONION PATCH. Robert
Smith, at the San Jose Mission, California, has
raised two acres of onions, which yielded $500
Sacks averaging AZ pounds each or 2O5, 900 pounds
in all Some of the onions weigh two pounds each,
and the average of the whole is "a ounces each !!
He selling them at 20 cents per pound. If he
gets but cents per pound for his entire crop, it
will amount to the snug sum of $so,75e! This
will do pretty we'll for two acres of wild land. This
is said to be but the average yield of the onion
crop throughout the Santa Clara valley. It ecpses
famous old Wethersfeld entirely, and shows that
an onion patch is by no means despicable gold
placer. Neither indeed is potato patch, nor a
bayfield,, in that most wonderful country. Dr.
Basham of Santa Clara, raised 800 bushels of po-
ta6oes to the acre there and sold them at from six
to seven cents per pound. Gen. Vallejo sold his
standing grass for $4,000 cash. The party pur-
