The Bitter Fruits.

1t will be recolected that some time since
great excitement was caused in village in the
State of New York by the announcement of the
contemplated nuptials Of "colored" teacher to
the daughter of a clergyman who had long been
preaching the doctrines of Abolitionism The
community was so outraged that thepeople rose
and determined to put stop to the proposed
marriage, and the f,:her vas almost distracted
on account of The wilfuluess of his daughter
For two months, after having professed to have
dropped the matter, the willy pair have succeeded
in their rusc, and now when public attention was
somewhat diverted from the affair, the unholy
compact was sealed, on the sOth ult., in the city
of New York, after which the negro and the wo
man sailed fol Europe. The Lockport New
York; Courier, in some severe remarks, concludes
by saying:
at is well they should emigrate, to show ad-
miring foreigners the beauties Of American Abo-
litionism. Let them attend the receptions of
the Dutchess of Sutherland, the sorees Of En-
rIish acitators, and the orgies Of Exeter IIall.-
Let George Thompson introduce them as the
first fruits of his philanthropic laborsin America
Let them travel among the starving English op-
eratives, who would gladly accept slavery if as
surcd Of peck Of corn week let them wander

The Camden (Ala) Southern Republic, of the 2sd
ult, in speaking of the late Vice Presidents DEATH
says: From F. K. Beck, Esq who was with him: at
his demise, We learn the particulars of his last mo.
ments upon earth. He was quiet and resigned to the
fate which he had seen for some time awaited him.
Shortly before six o'clock Monday evening, while
few friends were sitting around his bedside the only
ones that he would allow in hissick room he suddenly
remarked that he was dying. The watchers arose to
their feet under some excitement, when the Colonel
said-.'Be still-make no nose-let me die quietly y
He refused to have the balance of his household mott
fed of his. dying condition. His physician came in
and examined him. The Colonel said to him-"Doc:
tor, am dying. It seems as though shall never get
through with it. am dying very hard Take the
pillows from undor my head" The pillows were &C.
cordingy taken from under his head but afordng no
relief the Doctor turned him from his back on bis side
when he died in moment"
