should not be surprised if majority of the
legal voters in all the places where proper
effort is made, should petition the Legisla-

the Legislature will have hard work to re-
sist this general demand, to Danish from our
State the cup of devils. In Sandusky City
the people are petitiouing according to pro-
fession or occupation thus ministers are
on one petition, lawyers on another, physi-
clans on another, merchants, mechanics, and
all the different crafts on petitions by them
selves. This is done TO give additional in
fuence to the petitions-a good move, and
must greatly increase the power which
they will have on the Legislsture.-TIfi

NANCY FERRAR.-We yesterday visited this
young woman, confined in jail under sentence
of death. Previous to her trial, she was buoyed
up with the hope Of an aequittal, and was, most
Of the time, playful and cheerful. Since her
trial, her hope has been in eommutatiOn OF
punishment by the Governor, and she has been
sad and thoughtful. But since her sentence,
she has apparently given way to despair, and
appears to feel the awful reality Of her position.
The first question she asked Us was, t Do you
think the Governor will send me to the Peniten-
tiary7' She still has that hope, and from her
conversation, we judge she is fearful Of the re-
suit.
Many persons have visited her, since she has
been sentenced, some Of whom have told her
that the Governor would not interfere, and
that she must be hung. We have not as yet
heard Of her making any confession. On the
contrary, she always eyades a direct question
as to her guilt. She has repeatedly said that
she would commit suicide before she would
suffer death upon the gallOws and the turnkey
is obliged to watch her closely, for fear she will
take this means to escape the puRishmentOf Of the
| law.

Esau, in vain sought space for repentance
and found it not, though he sought it care
fully with tears2 Mol need not tell you this.
Nay it is a tale that cannot be told-let it
sleep. But l will tell you, that for the last
time, he renewed as with dying struggle
the terrible conflict with his enemy. In
vain he looked on this side and on that for
help. Help there was none, but on every
corner stood the tempter in bright array.
All around him were men-men in the
image of their God-men whom the law called
good moral men,, licensed by law to send
his soul to hell, and his body to the worms
All, too sure was their work, for as he had
lived so he died. In an instant, and when
he looked not for it, death claimed his vic
tim, and he was no more No sympathizing
hand smoothed his dying pillow No daugh-
ter's kiss assauged his last death throes
No son was there to hear his last com
mands His body fills drunkard's grave
His murderers may meet his soul in a world
to come.
And now tell me, ye honorable men, ye
whom God has commissioned with power
to avert from others the doom which awaited
my once loved husband-tell me, have no
voice in this matter Of life and death l
have not told you a tithe of that which till
now has remained all HRtOId-and | am but
one Of tens of thousands whose griefs are
untold on earth, but are daily poured in the
ears of the Almighty.
OF wrongs and outrages--of cruel and
barbarous murders-of suicides and homi-
cides, you have full surfeit day by day
but Of the deeper, darker sufferings of the
unprotected hel pless females, you have lit
tie Almost within sound of your legisla-
tive halls, within the week last past, poor
lost victim, hopeless of the relief for which
we pray, madly rushed into the presence OF
his God, declaring as his last words, that
he did SO rather than longer bear the tor
mentors sting on earth. You can hear the
explosion of the death-dealing weapon, but
the groans of the widow and orphan you
cannot hear. You cannot bring the dead
to life You cannot restore to me, nor to the
tens of thousands whom like me rum has
deprived of our husbands, our loved ones
again but you can, yes, you can hurl this
demon from his high places! You can put
the brand of Cain upon the man who enga-
ges in this accursed traffic. You can take
away this temptation from those who would
if they could avoid its snares You can save
the lives of tens of thousands of precious
husbands, brothers, and sOns-and 'tis for
this we most humbly pray. Will you turn
to us deaf ear, and spurn us from your
doors We trust not-we hope not-we be-
| lieve not and in this faith we will wait.
Meantime our prayers shall go up to Him
Who is Father to the fatherless, that He
will guide you in His own way to accom-
| plish this great work. A MOTHER.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT Wat
terston, Secretary to the Washington National
Monument Society, is out in card to the Amer
ican people, asking aid to complete this great
work, which will have to be suspended unless
the people contribute more LIBERAL y than they
have the past six months. We make the follow
ing extract from his card;
To the people, the army and navy, Masonic,
Odd Fellows aud other associations, the col.
leges, academies and schools Of the United
States, banking Institutions, city and town cor
porations &c., applications urgently requesting
pecuniary aid have been made BY circulars ad-
dressed TO all, and still the contributions re-
ceived have been insufficient to raise the monu.
ment beyond its present elevation. This is a
painful aud notifying fact. II will now be-
come the duty Of the different States Of the
Union to show the interest they feel in this
noble undertaking, and to evince the estima.
ton and respect in which they hold the charac.
ter and services Of Washington By contributing
to the completion Of his monument, that the
States, as well as the people may have the hon.
or Of raising structure to his memory which
will be an imperishahle memorial OF their ven
Grafton and gratitude.

friendship, and a becoming zeal in the
cause of Virtue, Love and Temperance, as
far as her health would admit.
Resolued, That we tender our sympathies
to the family and afflicted companion of our
departed Sister, whose loss is only des-
cribed by sad experience, as the household
hearth made desolate by the absence Of
such companion, and sweet is the reaec-
ton, that in the last moments of her life,
she was enabled to trust in her Savior, who
had been her support in her atHiction, that
he would be a friend to her bereaved hus-
band and relatives.
ResoiUed, That as tribute of respect to
the memory of our departed Sister, as a
token of heartfelt sympathy with the be-
reaved husband and family, we tender to

bless the affective dispensation; to the be-
reaved husband and friends, God grant they
may at last meet in that blest realm above
where there will be no more separation.
