FEEDING THE PIGEONS IN VETIcE.---The fol-
lowing extract from Mr.. Weeds last letter
from Italy describes curious custom. He
says:
At o'clock we returned to the Square to wit
ness the novel and interesting ceremony OF
Feeding the pigeons. Hundreds of people
had collected with the same object The pigeons,
or doves, were coming in from different direc-
tons and lighting about the windows and cor
nices of marble palace, where they sat quite
gravely till the first sound of the clock of San
Marco striking the hour of two was heard, when
the whole Aock simultaneously settled down
upon the pavement, under the window from
which the seed was thrown, and from which
they have been fed, at the same moment every
day, from period so remote that the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary"
To-day we went again to the same place
The pigeons began to collect quarter before
two, evidently as intent upon their dinner as the
same number of children, or children of q
larger growth would have been. Other bells
sounded few minutes before, but not dove
moved until the hammer was heard on the clock
of San Marco, when instantly every wing spread
and the flock again settled to the pavement.
While busiIy picking up their food, dog gam
boiled around amongst them, and children walked
into the ring without disturbing them at all.
Some say that the government provides the
food for the doves. Others say that lady,
centuries ago, provided in her will to the feed.

why the practice originated.

House of Representatives without discussion,
and so intensely odous and wicked, that not
even personal interest nor party discipline could
induce one-half of the members of the Lower
House to incur the infsmy of giving IL their
votes.
The political parties having thus concliated
the shareholders, entered upon new race be-
tween themselves for power and office, and mu-
tuaIiy agreed Go prevent, as far as possible, all
Interference 10 the race by the avowed FRIENDS
of human rights. The anti-slavery agitation
was TO be suppressed Mt all hazards; and every
man who expressed sympathy for the oppressed,
or indignation against slaye-hunts, was TO be
driven from either party. BY virtue of this
CON let. similar in its spirit te that which in
Europe is smothering every aspiration for free
dom, all who protest against the oppression Of
millions of natve-born Americans are TO be
deemed disturbers of the public peace, while
the powers Of shareholders, like those OF kings,
are TO be regarded ms held by the grace of God,

ATRocIrY OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT.

In our opposition to slavery and caste, we de-
sire to use no instruments OF unsanctiied tenn
per, nor have we any wish TO conceal those we
do use. Believing it sinful to compel an inno-
cent man to serve as a slave, we must refuse to
be partakers of other mems sins and hence,
under no circumstances can we aid in catching
or securing fugitive slaves, whatever may be the
penalties Of our disobedience to sinful set of
Congress 1t will be the erdeavor of the A..
and f. A. S. society to dissuade all from Joining
in slave hunts, as palpabe violation of Chris
tian duty Setting aside the moral turpitude of
slavery the fugitive slave act comprises mass
of iniquty in no degree required by the prov-
sions of the Constitution.
We should be fathless to the cause not only
of Christianity, but of civil liberty, did we not
oppose an enactment so detesaby atrocious,
one which establishes title to property in an
intelligent, accountable. immortal being, on ties
timony which in no civilized country would sup
port the claim to dog.
The cruelty and heartessness attending the
execution of this law, the extraordinary zeal
which our rich men and politicians manifest in
its behalf, the sanction given TO it by popular
divnes, and the infdel sneers which many of our
party presses have deemed il expedient to cast
on the advocates of ga higher law" than an ect
of Congress, have unitedly exerted a most dis
astrous influence on the tone of public morals,
One of the most striking Instances of this inHu-
ence is the vile attempt made in Pennsylvania,
under the special countensnce of the federal
administration, to convert resistance to the exc.
cution Of the fugitive act into the capital crime
