CANNIBALIsM.-ln to days paper, we have al
luded to the great destruction of life, recently by
steamboats, and other destructive agents. We hope
we shall be pardoned for abiding to another class
of destroyers of the human race, who are lust at
this time busy in laying waste and depopulating the
land We regret to say that there are hordes of
cannibals now roaring through land Sc ekiug
whom they may devour. Thousands of our best
citizens have recently fallen prey to their raven.
Gus propensities. Daily accounts reach us Of some
body having been used-up or "chaw-up" by these
insatiate land sharks. And, strangest of all, no
unfrequenty, two persons are devoured at the same
meal-after the fashion of the Kilkenny cats. We
have had accounts of Mr.. Douglas swallowing Mr.
Crane, and Mr.. Crane swallowing Mr.. Douglas
Mr.. 6otts devourng Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Wise de
vouring Mr.. Bolts Now, this is too bad it is
worse than the blowing up of steamboats,; it is
murder, downright murder; and we trust that
Congress and our Legislatures, while they have
their attention turned to the safety of the human
family, will also add some penal enactments to pre-.
vent these lawful calamities." Such cannibalisrn
such barbarsn, should not be tolerated in civilized
and christian land.

evening Mr.. WIS attention was attracted by the ne
culiar movements of his servant, and upon exami,

very fresh in their character Suspicion VIVA
aroused and search was instituted, the re suit be-
ing the discovery of colored infant boy rewlv
born, lying with CT lshed skull under hoeshead

Lucy, on being taxed with the commission of the
deed acknowledged that she battered out the brains
of the child with brick, with which she had pre
viously killed rat. She manifested brutal indif
ference throughout the recital of her confession
The age of Lucy is seventeen.
Early yesterday morning Coroner Wicker held
an inquest over the infant boy and verdict was re-
turned charging, of course, tina he came to his
death by the hands of his mother. Lucy is still in
the custody of the Coroner, her condition being
such as to render removal to Jail inexpedient.

in order to preserve their personal consequence they prefer
separate organization but which will give effective
aid TO the wing party by attacking Gen Pierce in concert
with the abolition wings Others seem TO be less am

willing to abandon all idea OF distinct organization

mass OF the wing party. The leading abolition journals
wait TO see the resultto ascertain whether third ticket
will be presented whether The union and absorption is
to take place. In the time they assa Gen Pierce

DEAR have just noticed in late number Of the

report OF speech made by General Pierce last December
at New Boston. Nothing could be more false and ca
luminous than the account there given of Gen Perce's
remarks was present al the meeting, with several 9th
from this city, and remember very distinctly the drift
and substance OF his speech This the first popular

voted 10 justification OF the pursued by himself
and the democratic party the year before, in resembling
Mr.. Atwood's nomination for governor in consequence
ofhis opposition TO the compromise In the
OF his speech Gen Pierce alluded the fugitive
slave law, and made strong argument in support OF it.
Ii is wholly untrue that he pronounced it contrary 10
moral right :: bat the contrary, in reply 10 ques-
ton proposed by abotonist present, he said the
present law the same, principle and substance
that which had received the approval of Washington,
and many others OF the wsest and purest among the
founders OF the republic. He thought that these men

patriotic those OF the present day. who were, Tor po
li,ca effect constantly stormng about slavery, without
being able to suggest any practicable plan for Its abol-

The speech was throughout a Thoroughly national
speech, and produced powerful effect No full report
Of it was published though brief abstract Of it appeared
shortly after in the Union Democrat of this city.

We have recently had opportunity 10 examine an
engraving by T. B. Wecb esq, Of Stuarrs celebrated
portrait Of Washington, which is unquestouably of
the finest specimens Of American a presented to the
public attention. We do not remember to have ever
seen perfectly successful effort of engraver.
The expression OF the great picture is preserved with
equalled force and fidelity. We perceive that the most
emnes artists and men of letters 10 country speak
in the most enthusiastic OF the work and we trust
that the artist, and those engaged with him in preparing
this magnificent presenment Of the features Of the
Father OF his Country" may meet with all The en-.
couragement which their audable and patriotic under
taking so well deserves
