HORRIBLE.-On Saturday evening, llth ult
tragedy occurred at Dubuque, Iowa, almost too
horrible for belief IL seems that young man
named Arnold Harlin, employed as aclerk ia Mr..
Thednga's drug store, on that evening called tina
attention Of Mr.. T. to a liquid which he was heat
ing in ladle at the stove. On Mr.. Thedinga's
looking up Harlan dashed the contents in his face
the liquid was the oil Of vitriol. George Stras.
ser, young man in Mr.. Thedinge's employ,
spraDg forward between Harlan and his victim,
when the rufan dashed in his face the contents OF
phial of the same burning liquid. AT first it was
supposed that the young man must have been la
boring under fit Of insanity, bat the discovery Of
his dead body next morning on common nea-
the town, with the following note upon his person,
showed that the diaboical outrage perpetrated
by him was premeditated 1t is supposed that
the wretched young mGn committed suicide by
taking prussie acid:

could not Indulge this natural instnG without
paying due regard TO the feelings and rights Of
others. This reasoning faculty is the parent OF
conscience, if not conscience itself and if man
were as he was originally created in the likeness
Of his Maker, he would require no other guide,
and no other restraint. But until he shall return
once more to that state of perfectibiity, he is
rot to be trusted when under the guidance o.
reason and conscience alone. He requires a

The preceding remarks are principally appli
ca bic to those " no sincerely, and in good faith,
strive to obey the dictates Of conscience, andto
curb the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the passions. But
how many are there of these, in comparison with
such as make conscience mere cloak for the
indulgence of those very passions !--who sub.
stitue their stubborn will, their personal inter
ests and feelings, their njudices, their ambition,
their revenge, their love and their hate, for con-
science who make it only an excuse for doing
rs they please, and convert that which was in
tended as a restraint into letter of license for
its violation! Some of the greatest scoundrels
have ever known, were, if you believed them,
the most conscientious rascals in cxiste. ce-
Their. conscience was the most plant tool in the
world, and they, for The most part, acted as if

The adoption of : the higher law" US the gen.
eral rule of action in any State or community.
would therefore, according to the view have
taken, operate to produce complete subversion
of the present state of social organization.
There would be no rule of action applying
equally to all, for no two consciences are alike
in all respects, being framed or modified by an
infinitude Of circumstances, many Of them en-
tirey accidental, and consequently no two men
would be governed by the same principles.
There would be 20 punishments, for there would
oe no crmes-snce it would be the height of
cruelty aud injustice to inhict penalty for act
ing in accordance with our conscierccs; and
.here would be u RIGHTS Of property, because it
would undoubtedly suit every mans copsciencs,
in this happy state Of nature, to help himself to
whatever he wanted.
1t may be- said am going to extremes butt
50, am only following ianaticism, which never
>tops in the middle. 1t can never be ex,in-
gushed till il has burnt itself ont, or can find no
more fuel to light It's fires. 1t is now in strict
alliance With socialism; and those who believe
there is no danger from their c mbined efforts in
the United States, must shut their eyes to the
Progress Of both, within the last few years. That
progress, so far as relates to Abolition, will be
.ketched in a succeeding letter.

sheep has Just been imported into Rhode Island,
by NJ. B. Ives, of Potowomot. The sheep came
from three hundred miles in the interior Of the
east coast of Africa. The variety is entirely
new, and is dist inguished by the enormous fat
ness of the tai, and singular dewap resembling
that Of cattle, and the absence Of horns in the
ram. The wool is very coarse, more resembling
hair than the article which is beginning to form

weeks ago instructions were sent to Mr.. Owen
on the subject, and more recently to MIR. Sharkie,

Instructions have now, it swell understood, been
sent to Mr.. Berringer, our minister in Spain, to
use every proper means to indnce the Queen S
government to release Mr.. Thrasher ..
| am informed by persons just arrived here
from Havana that the Cuban authorities were
quite determined that Mr.. Thrasher should never
return to the United States-for, after the treat
ment he has met in Cuba, his energies or in
iuence would be exerted here with great effect,
in favor of revolution in Cuba, as Commodore
Stockton said to-day, in his introduction to q
call for information as to the proceedings against
John S. Thrasher, it is much to be hoped that
the bad laws and bad manners OF this depen-
dency on the old Spanish monarchy, will be
amended. ....:
Their acts are of nature that require some
inquiry, aad unless their aggressions be noticed
by this government, they will become entirely
too frequent for our taste or for their own bene-

that the President cannot furnish any satisfac.
