Devotion to the Constitution Rewarded

Devotion to the Constitution Rewarded.
We do not know why the Massachusetts
Legislature denied statue to DArlEL WEB
srER. Probably for the same reason that
she excluded him from FaneuIl Hall. But as
the resolutions authorizing the statue seem to
have gone through the deliberate ordeal of di-
vision, rejection, and reconsideration, we may
assume that the refusal was the result of polil-
cal animosity. t a1 aHa
We might deplore such an exhibition Of ma
lice if we did not reflect that it is impotent to
effect its purpose. aH
The Lion of the North and the Bulwark of
the Constitution can wait for monume nt, as
the fame of EMMETT can wait for an epitaph.
Fanaticism forbids the one and Despotism de-
MES the other. Architectural monuments and
Mandatory inscriptions are but Insignificant in
cidents to the renown of such men. The
obscure detractors who would extnguish
fame by Withholding their own acknowledg
ment, will be only redeemed from oblivion by
the record Of their malevolence.

LATE From ST. HELENA.-The baroue Arthur
Pickering, Captain jackson, has arrived at Salem
Mass, with advices from Zanzibar to the 9th OF
March, and ST. Helena to April 23d
Letters from Zanz bar mention that the Ameri-
can brig Camargo, from Rio Janero, previously
reported as having left the Cape of Good Hope for
Zanzibar, had not arrived there, but SLAYER of
that name had been on the coast, and succeeded in
running off two cargoes of slaves. The English
cruisers had started in pursuit of her.
H. NJ steamer Harlequin, at St. Helena, from st
Paul De Leando and Benguela, April 9Th, reports
several cruisers souh of the coast though there
had been no recent captures.
Captain Wilmot, of the Harlequin, had succeed.
ed in concluding treaties with several of the chiefs
for the further suppression OF the slave trade; the
King of K ahenda was the most obstinate, but finally
signed the treaty.
The Harlequin was to leave for England in about
six weeks. The admiral was at Ascension
The United States brig Perry, Captain Page,
sailed from St. Helena, for Monrovia Africa on the
22d of April. Henry Williams one of the crew,
aged 30 years, died on the 10Th Three of the
sailors had attempted to make their escape, but
were recaptured.
The Portuguese brig Elizabeth, formerly SLAYER,
reached this port on Saturday from Para; also the
Haywood, from Sierra Leone, April 22d. The lat
ter reports leaving in port brig Monica, for New
York, to sail on the Goth.
The schooner Elizabcth had arrived at Sierra
Leone after run of 81 days from New York. She
arrived on the l4th, with her mainmast sprung.
The barque A. J, Harvey, of Philade phia, sailed
on the 18th for Moarovia.

opposits the Aqua. about seventy milss. u to
cross the Paaapsco, near Baltimore, and pass
throughihe productive forest OF Prince George
county, leaving Washington some ten miles to

more; and it may answer instead Of an airline TO
New York. But it seems not unlikely that New
York will have its airline road to Washington.

Northern Exploring Expedition,

Governor Stevens, who heads this expedition,
and J. M. Stanley, the artist, arrived here on
Tuesday, on the Michigan, and left for ST. Paul
yesterday on the Nominee. At St. Paul they ex-
pect to find their party rendezvoused and nearly
ready for movement towards the Rocky ountains.
We hear that the expedition is prepared with every
thing essential to complete survey of the country
through which they are to pass, and will consist of
about eighty persons. Governor Stevens is young
man, OF no very imposing appearance, but we shall
be disappointed IT he does not prove to be most
thorough and efficient officer. He is evidently
ambitious, and it will require strong propeling
force of this kind to do up the job intended by this
expedition thoroughly. Whatever may be the re.
suit with regard to a route for a railroad it is
hoped and believed that report favorable to q
great common thoroughfare will be made, justified
by iacts, by which Oregon and California may be
reached at much less hardship, peril, and expense
than by the present route.
As stated above, our friend NJ Stanley is the
artist of the expedlton and we had the high salts
faction of meeting him in health once more. No
one could have been received more hea rtiY by his
numerous friends. 1t revived the recollection of
former times, when he first started out in the
world foil of life and ambition and here in Gale.
it may be said he took his first s.fair starts as
portrait painter. Since then he has travelled far
and seen much, but he returns the same resoIute

before he had tried 80 efectually the world Since
he left Galena he has spent much time in travers.

made. In many of his travels he was alone, Oh

Oregon. In conversation, he remarked that gooo
conduct on his part had always secured him au

services of Mr.. Stanley for the responsible posi-

him may the years of his life be many and his
pathway be as brilliant as his hopes.

CoTToN AND CEREALS FROM THE RIVER GILA.-
Some samples of cotton, wheat corn, and the seeds
of vegetables, from the River ella, which are Gull
tivated by the Indians that river have been left
with us by MIR. j. R. Bartlett. The cotton seems
to be of very superior quality. He has also left
with US come blankets and sashes, the manufacture
Of these tribes. The cotton seed will be sent to
the South for cultivation. He has also given us
sample OF cotton, with the seed, from Parras, in
Central Mexico, about two hundred and fifty miles
west of the Rio Grande. where it ia cultivated to
considerable extent, and manufactured into heavy
sheeting. There are three small cotton mills near
the town of Satillo, doing very good business in
making these goods from the cotton raised in the
country. The superintendent of one of these mills
is from Providence The operatives are all Mexi.
cans. and are found to acquire the art of tending
the looms and other machinery with great facility.

MURDER AND LYNCH LAW AT CoUNcIL BLUFFS
In party of emigrants near Council Bluffs, Iowa,
a person named j. c. Samuels, said to be of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, having been shockingly murdered,
and his body robbed Of some 800, suspicion fell
upon bis messmate, named Baltimore Muer, who
arrested by the sheriff for the crime, but was
subsequently seized by the emigrants, tried by a
Lynch court, sentenced to death, and the senence e
carried into execution at five O'Clock Of the same
evening. At the hour appointed the man was
taken to the apot, rope thrown over the limb of a

ment in the Cleveland Herald of the 9th May that
the jury in the case, unable to agree upon ver-
dict, had been discharged, and that new trial
was to be commenced. The jury are said to have
stood, for conviction two, for acquittal ten. The
killing not denied, and no provocation at the
time alleged Moral insanity, or the right of
an injured woman TO slay her betrayer, was alone
the ground which verdict Of acquittal could be
based. The Common W alth We have heretofore
inths ted, has the power to prevent such moral
insanity, and to spare to friendless women the
unpleasant duty of being executioners in their own
b, half, by enacting and enforcing laws for the
punishment Of the first offence. But three States
of our Union have thus far complied with this
duty, manifestly incumbent upon all.
