THE GAG APP.IED,

CHAs. SUMNER asked of the Senate of the L.
States, to take up resolution introduced by him
self involving the erpedency of the repeal of the
fugitive slave law, which was refused by the fol-
lowing vote:
1EAs-Messrs. Clarke, Davis, Dodge, wis. !
Foote, Hamlin, Seward, Shields, Sumner, Il pham,
Wade,-l0.
NAYs-Messrs. Borland Brodhoad, Brooke,
Cass, Charlton, Clemens, DeSaussure, Dodge,
Iowa Douglass, Downs, Fitch, Fisher, Geycr,
Gwinn, Hunter, KING, Mallory, Mangum, Ma
son, Merrwether, Miller, Morton, Norris, Pcarce,
Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Smith, Spruancc, Tou-
cey, Wcller-33.
1t is instructive to remark that the name Of
VIM. r. King, the democratic nominee for Vice
President, is among the number who refused to
allow Sumner to speak, and it can't be doubted
had Pierce been there his vote would have been
on the same side, no act of his life has been
out OF harmony with such course These are
the men sustained by those who profess to love
liberty; and with free speech thus cruci+ied in the
national capitol, partisan editors and office expec-
tants will 60 on shouting hosannas to those who
do it. Tie success of these men will be an en-.
dorsement by the people of this tyranny, anu the
beginning of the end of our repubIicansIn.

Henry B. Stanton will carry some of the old H.

that side about as many votes as Arnold carried
soldiers to the British, when he deserted the

and Stanton's has hardly gloss enough to deceive
any person.

Cheering FROM Wisconsin.
The Albany Atlas has the following intel,i-
gcnce from Wisconsin by letter, dated Milwau-
kee, July %. 1852:
The prospects in this State are most cheering
| for Pierce and King. OF the II 900 votes cast
for Mr.. BROWN in 1913, Pierce and King will
the ensuing fall receive at least 900. Slch is
the opinion of the unp-ejudiccd and candid of all
parties. You may set down Wisconsin as GER
tain for at least 1000 majority for the Democrat
c ticket Yours, very truly.
We have been cogituling to know who this
Nr. BRowN is, alluded to, and can come to no
other conclusion than that it is the great "dono
5ro,rn"-Mr. Cass lie, however, got some Is
instead Of IL 900 votes, and we think it quite
possible Mr.. Pierce may get 5000 out of the
number We are not aware of any law against
setting down the state before election as certain
for 7 or 10000 majority for Mr.. Pierce, if any
person chooses to set himself down as great

MYSTERY THE AMERICAN LaKEs-Lake
Erie is only sixty or seventy feet deep, but the
bottom of Lake Ontario; which is 452 feet deep,
is 230 feet below the tide level OF the ocean, or as
low most parts Of the Gulf of ST. Lawrence;
and the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and
Superior-although their surface is much higher
ARE all, from their vast depth. a level with
the bottom of Lake Ontario. Now, as the dis
charge through the River Detroit after allowing
for the full probable portion carried off by evapo-
ration. does not appear by any means equal to the
quantity of water which the three upper great
lakes receive, it has been coniectured that sub
terraneau river may nun from Lake Superior to
Huron, and from Huron to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is by no means improbable, and ac-
counts for the singular fact that salmon and her.
ring are caught in all the lakes communicating
with the st. Lawrence, but in no Others. As the
Falls OF Niagara must have always existed, it
would puzzle the naturalistS to say how these fish
got into the upper lakes without some such SUBJ
terranean river; moreover. any periodical obstruc-
ton of this river would furnish not improbable
solution of the mysterious flux and relax of the
lakes.

T'iae Warrior Candidate.

General PIERCE is rapidly becoming a great
man. In week he will be at the apex of news
paper glory. Editors, of the Democratic and De-
mocratic neutral strip pc, who did not know how to
write his name correctly when the news of his

he IS a marvellous proper man''4-thc man for the
occasion.
The Democrats are famous fellows for making
much out of a little. They have no equals in
Misunderstanding process. They can construct
apatiorm out of one plank. just as easy as out of
thousand feet of cypress lumber; and if they
haven't any lumber, nothing at all answers their
purpose admirably! They can make a full-grown
statesman out of a tyro in governmental affairs
warrior. terrible as Mars out of militia Col
onel-and declaration of fundamental principles
out of of words which mean everything,
anything or nothing just as may suit the interests
of the party in different latitudes Before the late
nomination, it was conterded that the country was
indebted to Mr.. BUCHANAN for his great military
services during the war of 1912. 1t was said that
he actually marched to Baltimore, and then
marched back again, without smelling the enc
my's powder, In 1913, General CAss was repre-
sented a warrior equal to Wellington or Ma
poeon. and superior to TAYLOR. He too, used a
sword during the last war with Great Britain and
broke over-not the head of an enemy, but over
log stump or across his knee, it has never
been ascertained which He broke it, however.

PIERcE's argument will appear to possess more
legal eruditon depth of reasoning, force of express
