Ha-W We would refer our readers to a synop-
sis en- our first page of speech recently de-
livered in Tuscumbia, Ala, by the Hon Jer.
Clemens. This distinguished Senator was
one of the most strenuous advocates of South
ern Rights during the debates on the Adjust
ment bills, and never lost that character, even
in the estimation of Tfre-eaters," until he
refused to peril the Union by schemes of re-
sistance to laws, which however unacceptable
to the South in point of policy, were perfect
ly constitutional.
The fact to which Mr.. Clemens alluded OF
the recent recovery of several fugitive slaves
by citizen of North Alabama, is fully at
tested by one of the most reliable citizens of
this place, who was at the time, on a visit to
hat State. He informs US that not only

Hannibal and ST oseph Railroad

Why is there comparatively so little in

great work. Why should Hannibal and

seph railroad and the same papers catch
the sound, and read long lesson on the
importance of their road. Speak of the ci-
fects on the growth and prosperity of our
city from this road, when completed, and
ut once these papers warn the friends OF
the Missouri river road, and the citizens Of
St. Louis of the dangers which await them
if our road is completed and theirs left I'M
finished. All agree rs TO the grea, advanta'
ges of the Hannibal and ST. Joseph road, the
the facilities for its execution, the adoption
of the country over which il passes for rail
roads, the uhcapnes Of its construction, the
certain,! OF its paying good per cent on
stock, and the incalculable advantages to
our city, We, hut little is doing for it,
Some, indeed, are found, who even oppose
The subscription to the stock On the part OF
Marion county,! Is not this astonishing!
How long will men be found so bind to
their best interests! Why lag behind our
sister states in the noble race for greatness!
Why strive to keep down internal inn
provement, ind drive the cmigrant from

Why no, catch the spirit of the age and
liz our grea, State from the degraded POI
sition she has SO long occupied Even
the prospect o! these improvements have
induced more emigration to settle lerc III

wilderness now stands, wealth for poyer,,

citizens but resolve and the great work is

turn the travel to the railway, q, rates of fare
fifty per cent. above the steamboats,.
The number Of passengers transported on this
railway, only one-half of which is in operation,
for nine months Of tho year 1850, was 500 $780,
The manager of this railway says: 1--WE
consider the question settle! as to the praclca
bility of successfully competing for passengers
with the best line Of steamboats, in the world"
Railways have been constructed on and near
the coast, in all the Atlantic States, are in pro
gress or contemplated along the banks Of the
St. Lawrence, and the shores Of Lake Cham
plain, Ontario, and both sides of Lake Erie.
On all Of these waters first class steamers are
running with great success. Railways are also
being constructed parallel and near to many of
the ua, igable waters of the Western States.
The question as TO the ability Of railways TO
command the travel in all places where they
may come in competition with steamers, appears
to be fully settled.

He has daubNd a red spot near, but not

J. N. j., in regard to his townships, is

s,npendous journey of nine or ten miles, and
il not afraid Of entering the Keeling court house,
he can, in his elegant and expressive words,
get peep at the archives Of the county.
After what has been said, the people must
see the absurdity Of making territory the basis,
in selecting site for the county seal. Until
J. n. j., Jasper Co, can prove that population,
present or prospective, can justly be made the
apology for this change, all their loose state

one Of your agents, a man who has formerly
received public favofs at The hands o. this

OF many persons, expects to ask no more, is now
presenting as an inducement to the credulous,
the suggestion that the new public buildings can.
be constructed of materials from the old This
needs no comment. The damages which the
gentleman expects to hear of in this reply, will
not be spoken of until they shall have beer
created. It will :hen be time.
But the most amusing portion of these effu-
slons is that in which they attempt to do homage
to our hostess. 1t would appear tina, the very
recollection Of her table, with its luxuries,
restores them all at once TO good h,mor and
gratitude. In the very climax of their good
feeling, they even invite her to become resi-
den. of the centre town. This same kind of
gratitn1c-I mean that produced by gastronomic
/ enjoyment, may occasionally be seen in we'll
bred specimens of the canine race.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, that may not
trespass too far upon your columns, lie. me
inform J. N. J.--and it may also some wha.
relieve Jasper - that the writer of this article
owns no property in the town of New London.

Postage.

A friend, on his recent travels through the

cutting, consolotory, funny, curious, philosophi.
cal eps,le addressed by an as,ounded post
master, in answer TO an equally funny and cu-
rous cpistle, inasmuch as the postmaster aiorc-
said was solicited in said first epistlr. TO in
qnire make diligcnt search for, and use other
lawful means and vigorous eyertions, TO recover
certain stolen property, therein specified and
described, all Of which said contents of said
letter, were despatched 10 lhe aforementioned
postmaster without paying tho postage. This
was more than mortal man could bear, from a
total stranger, and the outraged postmaster &c.

IL EMIGRAYrs from slave States, who hold
large property in slaves, generally seem to pre-
fer settling on the Missouri river. They ina.
CINE that their property canno, be safe anywhere
near the Mississippi. This is mistake. Ten
slaves run away from the Missouri river, where
one leaves this section. The negroes in this
part of the State, hardly ever run off, because
they are well acquainted with the difficulty Of
getting away. On the Missouri they think that
all is safe, if they can succeed in reaching the
Mississippi. Not long since, three or four men,
in one week, were over here from the Missouri
river, in search Of runaway slaves.
The Island opposite this city is about six
miles wide, and sixty miles long; and it is
too ,hinly populated, and the people too well
disposed towards us, to adTit of underground
railroad accommodations.

A Curious, but Useful Ordinance.

Mn. Enron:
A few davs ago friend suggested the exist
ence, at one of orr young cities on the river,
of singular ordinance. To-day the following
copy was produced About these times the
idea will suit several fourishng towns on our
river. 1t reads as iollows:-.
SEC. |. BE ii ordained, by the City Council
of the Cit! of r., That, from and
after the ~, day Of March, after the passage
of this ordinance, all male persons over the age
of twenty one years, residing in -------,
shall have and keep, securely locked TO con-
veuient and accessible part of the dwelling
wherein he resides, a good canoe or skill OF
sufficient bearing to convey at least 800 pounds
weight and, except to cross the Desmoisncs
shall neither hire nor loan it in high water, so
as to be OH, of reach at night.
Src. 2. For every violation Of this ordi-
nance by owner of such canoe or skilf, shall be
liable, on conviction, to pas to the city, Five
Dollars for each offence, to be levied, If not
paid as a special levy, on the lot or lots, on
which his dwelling, stan!, or store stands.
Approved, Feb. To- 1851.

AYornER FLoop The river opposite here
is now very full. 1t is said by persons who
ought to know, tina, rise Of fourteen or six.
teen inche. more, would swell the river 10 a
volume equal to that which rolled by here in
1874. Reliable information from the Upper
Mississippi, Us high up as St. Paul, states that
the river is still rising above. On the Island,
opposite this city, the people have become
alarmed, and many are removing their stock ;
the river having commenced breaking over the
bank.
The above was written on Monday. During
that day the river rose three inches; on Tues
day two and quarter, and on Tuesday night
two inches more. This indicates steady as
well us prodigious increase in the quantity o
water, the river being now six miles vide, fol
a distance Of seven miles above and fifty miles
below This point. The river is now within tive
inches Of the rise OF lS49, and within nine
inches Of that Of 1914. Wood cutters, mol
expecting the food so early in the season, have
neglected to remove their wood from the low
bottoms, or cord and secure il, and consequently
much will be swept off
DRowSEp.-W understand that a man wa.
found floating down the river, among som'
drftwood, last Saturday. While those whit
made the discovery went in search Of the coro
ser, the body, which with the driftwood, hat
been temporarily oA.ructed, noa,cd of, en'
could not sgain be i,urd.
