The Pioneer and woman's advocate. (Providence, R.I.) 1852-185?, 1852-10-30

I" Sir, there is a stranger woman,
waits to see you al the door;
So forlorn human being
Never did see before;
One that such a scanty garment,
Or so wild an aspect wore.
Wondringly the little maiden,
Close against the window pane,
Presd her cheek 10 see The stranger.
"None have ever sought in vain
AT my hands," replied the master,
As the servant turned again.
To his door the good man FASTENED,
But the half had not been told.
Twas no strolling, alms-house vagrant-
Twas no beggar taught and bold,
But woman faint with anguish,
Weary with alright and cold.
"I have need of food and clothing,
But 1 ask them not" she cried
otis fugitive entreats you,
Only let me here abide.
Give me but one nights protection,
And a corner where to hide.
Save me for the love of Heaven,
Save me-" and she turned her eve
To the hill top, where it rounded off
Against the cloudy sky.
Moving figures in the distance,
Did her searching glance descry.
Shrieked she then with frenzied gesture,
See them, they are on the track;
Will you give me to the blood-hsunds?
Will you let them drag me back,
To be scoffed at, to be trampled,
To be tortured on the rack"
"God protect you," said the pastor,
"For cannot give you aid
Evil times are fallen on US,
When such brutal laws are made.
But it Is the will of Heaven,
That our rulers be obeyed."
o that look of speechless anguish,
o that art.wrung woman's vail
As the hunted slave flew onward,
Made his very heart to quail
Made his very hair TO sliffen,
And his cheeks turn ashy pale.
But the door was shut and bolted,
And the Fugitive was gone
Ere the strangers from the hill top,
Had decended to the lawn.
Vain good constable and planter,
Vain the errand you are on.
When the moon arose ,hot night
On the evil and the good;
Two poor tenants Of a howell
Thai beside the forest stood,
Found the hunted woman lying,
Where they went to gather wood.
Bore her to their wietched dwelling,
Placed her on their only bed,
Wet her parched lips with water
Strove to make her taste of bread;
Chafed her limbs and watched beside her,
In the morning she was dead.
And the parish lost coffin,
And decent grave was made
And meagre group assembled
And the parish parson prayed
Standing with his head uncovered,
Where the silent dust was laid.
Hitherto in speech so gifted,
Wherefore did his language fail
Wherefore did his accents tremble,
And his cheek iurn deadly pale.
Surely no one had accused him,
And the dead could tell no tale.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE Field
1t would seem that Webster is really go
ing to stand the nomination of the Phila-
delphia Native American and Union
Wings, and will let just as many anti
Seward Wings in other parts of the I'm
ion vote for him as may wish to do so.-
A grand demonstration is to take place in
Boston on his return to that ancient city,
and the Old Cradle is expected to rock a
little on that occasion.-(Aicago Dem.
"The great demonstration has taken
place at Boston to welcome Mr.. Webster.
and it was large and enthusiastic.
We look, however, in his speech in
vain to find any word of comfort for our
neighbor of the Democrat. On the con-
trary, the Boston Daily Advertiser-the
ablest, most discreet, and most effective
advocate of Mr.. Webster's nomination.
comes into the support of Scott with
will, and administers an emphatic rebuke
10 the malcontents whose devotion to Mr..
Webster is prompting them to aid in the
election of Pierce and King.
And the Transcript says: "Since the
frank and satisfactory letter of Gen.
Scott accepting the nomination and the
platform, the Webster men are wheeling
into the ranks, platoon after platoon. The
idea of boiling is abandoned.''

From pembina and Red River.

The advance of the Red river trains
have arrived. A new route has been
opened, said to be shorter than the old
one, which strikes the Minnesota river
at Traverse des Sioux, over which those
who have arrived came. From the
Traverse they took passage on the Jenny
Lind, which arrived here last evening"
Hon. N. w. Kittson, and Chas. Cavileer,
ESQ.,, U. S. Collector at Pembina are
among those who came down.
We hear of no news of importance
brought by these gentlemen. Red river
and tributaries had been very high this
season, and some considerable damage
had resulted to the crops and improve
ments therefrom. The water rose to
greater height than even last year, when
it was higher than before previously
known.

BURLINGTON, VT, July 10.

THE MONTREAL CoSrLAoRArIoN.-
The confagration at Montreal is still
raging furiously. The light can be dis
tinctly seen from this place, though 100
miles distant.
The fire commenced on Thursday
morning the 9th, and was consequently
raging for 4S hours.
A gentleman who arrived here this
forenoon from Montreal, describes the
scene as awful.
The flames were raging unchecked,
hundreds and thousands of families are
wandering about without shelter to COW
er them.
The sparks and burning embers are fly
ing about in all directions, and it is i'm
possible to predict when and where this
awful calamity will stop.
The supply of water has given out,
and the intense heat prevented either the
firemen or citizens from approaching the
scene. Every one seems struck with
terror, and as the wind was very high, it
was feared that nearly the whole city
would fall to ashes.
At the time of leaving, our informant
states the fire had cleared space larger
than the city of Troy. The telegraph
posts have all been burned, which will
prevent communication with Montreal
for some time to come.
There has probably never been such a
destructive conflagration on this continent.
Millions of property has been destroyed.
SECOND DIspATcH-ll A. M.-We
learn from passengers by the cars who
left Montreal this forenoon, that the fire
had been entirely subdued. The whole
number of buildings destroyed was up
wards of 1900, including some of the
best in the city. 1t was impossible to es-
innate the amount of the loss.

STEAMBOAT COLLIsIoN--FoURrEE
OR MoRE LIVES Losr.-The steamer
America left this port last evening, July
18th, with a load of cattle for Buffalo
About 25 miles this side of Fairport she
came in collision with the propeller Os-
wego, bound up, and sunk her Immediate
ly. Fourteen lives of persons on the
Oswego are known to have been lost
The loss of life is probably much greater,
as there were number Of emigrants on
board. The America returned this morn
ing with the crew and passengers, saved
from the sinking vessel. There must
have been culpable mismanagement and
carelessness OH the part of those having
the boat in charge, as the night was clear,
and the Lake calm. The Oswego was
nearly new, this being her second trip.
An investigation has been held to-day, of
which we were promised report, or we
should have obtained further particulars
of the catastrophe. l is claimed that
the engine of the America was stopped
before the collision, and that the propeller
struck the America on her starboard bow
some six or eight feet abaft the stem,
breaking large hole in the America and
smashing the bow of the propeller, which
sunk in about fifteen minutes. The mate
of the propeller was drowned. Some of
the lost were women and children. The
scene is described as heart-rending.-

The NATIVE AMERICA, CoSvrvr,ox

THE NATIVE AMERICAN CONVENTION.
The telegraph has already announced
that this body nominated Daniel Webster
for President, and George c. Washington
for Vice President. This does not seem
to be exactly correct. From the reports
which are published in the Trenton and
New York papers, we learn that, upon the
question of nominating candidates, the con-
vention split into two parties, one of which
retired in body, amid much excitement
while the other remained, forming sort
Of Rump Convention, which made the
nomination referred to- At the head of
the seceders was DIR. Reynell Coates, one
of the ablest leaders in the Native party.
According to the N. Y. Herald, his fol-
lowers i'll the secession were much the
largest portion Of the Convention. The
party which remained and voted for Mr..
Webster consisted of p persons, all told.
They were under the direction of Mr..
Levin, who seemed to be in favor of con-
shutting the Natives into sort of South
ern Union party, to meet the views of
Mr.. Toombs, a gentleman whom he allie
ged, spoke the sentiments of the whole
South. Some of the speakers in the de-
bates inveighcd bitterly against Mr.. Web
ster. Mr.. Oxtcn, of Massachusetts led
off this, and said he had no popularity
in that State outside of Boston. Mr..
Hollowell PROLONGED Webster unworthy
to be trusted and Mr.. Davis said that he
could not get a single Native vote in his
State, Illinois. North american.
