GJ=A London paper has tee following in re-
gard to the departure of Abbot Lawrence,
Esq. from England:
"We believe his last act was, by conduct at
onco deciding and friendly, but by stepping be-
yond tho usual rules of frigid diplomatic etti-
quette, to save England and America from the
great curse of a rupture. We have reason to
know that his active and timely remonstrance
and warning induced the British Government to
stay rash hand and curb an il-advice meas
urc.
"Whcn Mr. Lawrence goes, he will deserve
tho regrets of one country, and the welcenie of
another; and whatever may occur, both as a
statesman and an individual, he merits empty
the thanks and suffraees of all good men to
watt him from our shores"

The Great Man.

| If there were any days of the three hundred
and sixty five which seemed moro appropriate
than others for tho Great Man to take solemn
leave of mortality, they certainly were October
days--tho last days of October. Thoughtful
august, and calm,--like himself. No passion
ate Summer sun; no fierce, querulous Winter:
no angry, bleak Novembor no fcklo Spring.
But October, indicative of nobility, maturity.
dignity,--like himself. And so il was ordained
that son the twenty fourth day of October all
that is mortal of Daniel Webster shall bo no
more!" sr .H
The day camo. Those great eyes were look
ing into futurity. Tho lustrous orbs wero fix
cd there, steadfastly, confdingly unfalteriaglv.
At last as if no saw q friendly, beckoning hand
he arose calmly--and making his last profound
obesance to tho world, gathered tho garments
of Immortality about him. "Thy staff, Thy
staff" was in his hand. In majesty. and hu-
mility. he walked forth, and entered the por-
tails of Eternity,-saying, only, as he went, II
still live" And we saw him no more.
And the Great Man knew tho way lie said
the RIGHT Word and saved his own soul. He
prayed: '1Ieavcnly Father, forgive my sins, and
receive me to Thysclf through Christ jesus"
And when the great Secretary, the Great Ora.
tor, had left the earth, what moro fitting, than
that his body be laid OH tho shore whero the
Mayhower lay. whore tho Pilgrims landed and
lived, and where their ashes lie; where the
ocean beats on Plymouth Rock, in hearing--and
among such hearers of Natures grandest Grafton
forever. .
The Illustrous Senator as compared with his
fellows was as the lofty, isolated, granite shaft.
to the tree of tho forest, which had leaf and
prace-and peers When autumn came, when
time came, its foliage faded and fell, its branch
es were broken Its ornaments gone, it seemed
smaller and less comely than before. 1t had
appeared more than it was. Decay came also.
But the towering granite column stood alone,--
erect, unchanged chaste. enduring, and beau
tiful.-"and there it will stand forever.

H. CHANDLER. South Bend Register
Indiana, thus justly speaks of citizen of Dc
troit on whom the vials of Locofoco malice
were emptied with more than ordinary force,
during the late canvass:
"Though Michigan has gone Democratic as
usual we cannot let the occasion pass without
rendering to MIR Chandler. the Wing candi-
date for Governor there, the need of praise
which he deserves from his political friends.
Though engaged in Mercantile business at
Detroit which required all his time and atten-
ton, yet, when tho Whig State Convention
asked him TO leave il to head their forlorn hope
bo promptly compliod; willing to mako any
sacrifice. He was not content with giving
the party his name, but, though entirely un-
used to public speaking, Immediately COM
menced an energetic canvass Of tho whole
State, which he kept up until the very day of
the election. For seven or eight weeks he
was on the stump every day, giving his whole
soul and his whole strength to the canvass
And, whilo no inspiritod his friends every
where to rcdoub!e exertions, ho so alarmed
his opponents that they called into the field
all their prominent speakers, Cass. Felch, Nc
CIelland, &c., to counteract if possible, the
effect of his appeals to the people. We were
up in Michigan last week, speaking at Kalan1a-
zoo, Battle Creek and Albion, and had the
pleasure of hearing Mr. Chandler at the great
mass meeting at the former place. Hc made
an eloquent, stirring, effective speech, and
was greeted at nearly evory sentence, by hcar-
ty applause And he is besides affable, So
ciabie, companionable with every person of all
parties with whom ho is brought in contact
He has been prostratcd with his party therc,
but his large voto ahead of the political
strength is deserved tribute from honorable
political opponents to his worth as man and
to his superiority for the Office that no sought
which is highly complimentary. Michigan
will lose much by not securing him at the head
of her State councils. Pecuniary, of course
the defeat will BIO Mr.. Chambers gain.

The Man that the Mule Kicked.

| Many are the anecdotes and stories which
our volunteers tell, the scene Of which had beer
the Rio Grande, and many yet remain to b.
told. The following good one was recently re-
latod to us by our friend Sewall Taylor:
| On n certain starless night, in the latter par
of July, two volunteers-living editions of Da
mon and Pythias, so sincere were their friend
ships, so mutually strong were their friendships
-wcro sitting on some lumber in the neighbor-
hood of Sewall's (the suffers tent. They had
given pretty strong proofs during tho day Of
their adherence of tho water the Rio Grande
in its primitive state. by mixing it with liber-
oil component part Of Sewall's brandy, which
rs Burns says, made them 'pnco happy"
| Thes sat there for considerable timo and
talked of sold times" and new times--of times
past, present and to come-of the indomitable
power and invincible courage of the United
States volunteers, and of the cowardly, craven
Mexieans Indeed from the mood they wero
in, ''they could" as tho expressed it, "walk in
to Ampuda and his whole pusllanimous host. "
One of them had occasion to withdraw for a
minute, and after making in advance duo apol-
ogy for his temporary absence, he assured bis
friend that but little timo would clapse before
he would reioin him. Not returning, however
ms soon as his friend thought he should, the
lattor 'put OUT too lie who first left, soon,
in zigzag course, returned. but instead of go
ing up to where himself and friond had been
sitting, he approached to where vicious Mex
lean mule was haltered.
"Come Bill,' said he, laying his hand on the
hind quarter of the mule, "lets GO to our tent. :"
"Wee- -ec-iee' cried the mule, letting fly his
left hind leg at him, striking him in the abdo-
men and sending him on the broad of his back
in among tho neighboring chapparel.
After recovering, he picked himself up, and
a vancing towards the mule, said
"Lo 1k here Bill, this is d-b shabby con-
uct!--I wouldn't treat Mexican so, letting
lone an old comrade. If you have any spite
against me. just say so, and I'm your man; but
don't strike follow that way, with the butt
end of your musket in the dark. l tell you,
fclt that last lick as if dragoon'shorse had kick
ed me. Come, now, no more of that, let us
shake hands, and again ho went up within kick
ing distance of tho mule.
"Weo-ee-iee," growled tho mulc, and again
he gave the intruder kick which laid him fiat
OH the ground.
"Murder! Murderp no cried, "Im shot
I'm stabbed-he has run his bayonet Trough
me-he has broken my head with tho buit end
of his musket-Pm killed. Guard! Rounds!
Guard! Rounds!
Attracted by the noise, crowd gathered a.
round: lights were brought, and the great kick
od was picked out of the chapparel. Two of
his ribs only wcrc fonnd to be broken, and his
friend and comrade Bill, was the first to render
him assistance OF course, although he could
not at tho time be made to believe il, it was at
once seen that his enemy in disguise was the
peevish mule, and not his friend and comrade
Bill.

Free Trade and Direct Taxation.

We copy the following from the Cleveland
Plaindealer:-
"First, near approximation to Free Trade.
It is not certain that the period has vet arrived
for abolshing all import duties, and resorting
to direct taxation to bear the expenses of gov
crnmcnt; but that day will surely come, and
the sooner it is brought about the bcttor it will
be for tho laboring classes. Then, instead OF
having to pay per centage on the necessaries
of life, for the use Of himself and his family the
working man will only pay tax upon his ac-
tual possessions"
To this complexion does Locofocoism come
at last, with its progressive Free Trade notions
and n direct tax instead Of even n revenue tar
iff for the support Of the Government. The re-
suit of the late election, with its triumphant
and overwhelming majoritics, emboldens the
"Dcmocracy" to an advanced movement in
their principles Of political economy and the
old landmarks Of duties on imports to sustain
the National Treasury, are TO be swept away.
Young America advances with an army of tax
gatherers To makes direct assault upon the
pockets of the people, In the language of
the Locofoco prcss, the working man, tho mo-
chanic, and tho farmer. will only then pay "a
tax on their actual possessions
On his little homestead, earned by his hons
ost toll, tho Government must have mortgage
and every year the loan fingers Of the hunga'
ry stipendiary of official favor must have his
dues TO replenish the nations Golfers, directly
from tho peoples pockots--no matter if it ID
merely to pay the ordinary expenses OF the
Government, or addition to feed and clothe

quest, as is now favorite doctrine with those
who are coming into power: tho money must be
paid, and the people prepared to hand il over
moro or less, as tho necessity of the country
requires. Arc we ready for this important
changei By the counting of tho votes, II seems
to be tho case. A little practice, however, We
fancy, in this line, will put the voters seriousl,
to thinking upon the subject, and then for the
sober second thought which is "seldou

American Labor---The Present and the Past.

| At the present moment, pregnant with the

American citizen to read the following act
passed in the reign of George III, just previou:

answer which party is now sustaining tho sam,
| British policy, and which the American, as vim.
dicatcd and maintained by that ravolutioni--
| In this act of tyranny we have one of the
struggle of l776. What the arm of power
could not then accomplish, tho most insidoous
means are now employed to effect. The acl
speaks for ITSELF il is as follows:
lin the twenty-third year of the roign OF
George IL.
An act to encourage the importation of pig and
bar iron from His Majesty's Colonie in A.
nherca, and to prevent the erection of any
mill or other engine for Sitting or rolling OF
iron, or any plating forge to work with tilt
hammer, or any furnaces for making steel in
any of the said colonies.
Whereas the importance of bar iron from
His Majesty's Colonies in America, into the port
of London, and the importation of pig iron from
the said colonies into any port of Great Britain
will be great advantage, not only to the said
colonies, but also to this kingdom, by furnishing
the manufacturers of iron with supply of that
useful and necessary commodity, and by means
whereof largo sums of money, now annually
paid for iron to foreigners will bo saved to the
kingdom, and greater quantity of the woolcn
and other manufactures of Great Britain will
be exported to America in exchange for such
iron so imported.
Be it therefore enacted by tho Kings most
excellent Majesty, &C., That all pig and bar
iron from his Majesty's colonies bo admitted
free of duty.
And be it further enacted, That from and
after the 24th day of June, 1850 no mill or

any plating forge to work with tt-hamn1er,
or any furnca for making steel, shall be cree

shall, for ever such mill, engine, forge or fur

of lawful money of Great Britain.
