THE FREE WEsT.-We are sorry that the
faithful editor of the Western Citizen, publish
ed at Chicago, Illinois, has at last been obliged,
by pecuniary reasons, to discontinue his paper.
1t has always been true to the cause of Free
dom, and conducted conscientiously and eff
ciently. 1t is encouraging TO be informed that
the Anti.Slavery citizens of Illinois are not to
be left without press. The closing number
of the Citizen contains the prospectus of new
weekly, to be called the FREE WEST and to
be published in Chicago as the organ of the
Freedom party of the State. I" 1t is designed"
it is said, "to lead off in thorough system of
organization for the repeal of the late Slave
Law of the State, and for the overthrow of
all parties and combinations of Conservatism
and Hunkerism
"The Free Vest is significant in name of the
principles which it will advocate. It's sphere
of labor is in the centre of the great Northwest,
which was consecrated to freedom by the Or
dnance of the Northwestern Territory. From
this early baptism has this section of the COM
mon country received it's most sacred rights
and its choicest blessings The full tide of
prosperity, the like of which the world never
before witnessed is the fruit of this fixed pol
icy of freedom bequeathed to us by the terms
of the secession of the Territory from the orr
ginal owners to us through the Federal Gov
eminent Tho West shall be free--it is free,
in theory and profession-yet not wholly 80 in
practice. An attempt has been made, and for
time successful, in this and other States, to
nullily the freedom proviso Of that glorious or.
dnancc. The great object of this paper will
be to make this section truly the FREE WEST"
We trust that the new paper will receive a
liberal patronage

STATISTICS OF BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND
DEATHS

According to a law of recent enactment by
the Legislature of New York, the City In,
spector of New York City has begun to keep
record of its marriages births, deaths, &c
The record for the months of July, August
and September, presents the following results
Births.-Males, 2,6O9 Females, 2,468; To
tai, 5,077.
Death,-Males, 1890; Females, 3,22l To
tai, I'LL. Excess of Deaths, 1904
Marriages.-Single Males, l,452; Single
Females, l,4O4; Widowed Males, l76 Wild
owed Females, 1874 Total Marriages, 1923.
OF the births, there are 10 colored males,
and "a colored females of the marriages, 9
colored of the DEATHS 1891 white males,
3 los white females Ga colOred males, s. col
ored females; 1852 of native born males z, 1926
ve-born females; 1899 foreign males, $50
foreign females.
One Of the New York papers, looking at
these statistics, jumps to some very hasty con-
illusions Great cities it says, are thus proved
to be deleterous to human life, and were it not
Tor the constant Importation OF population,
New York would become extinct. 1t is hardly
worth while to generalize 80 broadly upon sta
tistics 20 limited. The record presents the
deaths for the most sckly season of the year
1t shows too that nearly one-third of the NOR
tally is among the foreign population, and we
all know that the process of acclimation is
always attended with considerable mortality.
Besides while the record may be depended
upon as to the number of deaths, we must
doubt its accuracy in regard to births. The
registers of interments furnish the facts in the
former case, but how are the facts in the latter
ascertaned! We shall need much more light,
many more facts, ere we can justify the con-
clusion of our New York cotemporary.

AMERICAN CITIZENS IMPRISONED IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES

10 the Editor Of the National Era:
The public mind appears to he very sens
tive on this subject, even when an individual
was seized who was not citizen but only had
declared he intended to become such One Of
our commanders threatened to rescue him by
force and yet, notwithstanding all this hlus-
ter, we tamely submit to have a native born
citizen of the United States, an cstimable man
and q worthy citizen, incarcerated in u jail in
England, without making any attempt to pro-
cure his release Dat upon such patriotism !
such national pride! that would be ready to 60
to war for a man whom We do not know, and
refuse to do anything to release man whom
we do know, and who is loved and esteemed
wherever he is known We allude to George
Catlin, Esq, the American traveller, who is in
carccrated in prison in England for debt!
Our Government should buy his collection
of Indian curiOsites at a liberal price, allow.
ing him ample and reasonable remuneration
for all the time and trouble as well az money.
spent by him in making that collection, and
bring him and it home triumphanty This
collection, properly arranged in the Smithsoni.
an Institution, would add greatly to the many
attractions already in Washington city
How much better would it be for our Gov
eminent to purchase this collection than to
spend 50 500 for a Scotch carpet fa single
room in the White House! If the Presiden,
Id the patriot and republican which be is be
lieved to be, he would rather see Catlin come
home from England, than to see a hundred
carpets come from Scotland
But the relieving of Mr.. Catlin need not
prevent the purchase of carpets, OF anything
else that may be wanted. We have an over
flowing Treasury and can do both but what
ever We do, We should not suffer that worthy
citizen to remain in foreign jail
VoX PoPULI
If the facts be as stated by our correspond
ent, the case of Catlin is hard one; but We
should like more information concerning it
What is the amount Of the debt for which he
is imprisoned and how long has he been i'm
prisoned! 1t is a case rather for private sym
patty than Governmental nterference-al
though the Government has as good right to
purchase his collection Of curiosities as it had
to appropriate money for Powells Picture, or

wears ago. was firmly built. The corpse
will be inferred to-day in the Baptist butying
ground, near the place where the prisoners
family resides.
There appears to be nc credence in the
declarations made by the deceased as he pre-
viously possessed bad character. He was
in the prison at Alexandra some years ago
for theft, and was said to possess a vindctive
temper. He is also charged with numbering
a boy some years ago. OF this crime we can
not speak, He has paid with his mortality
body the penalty required by law, and his
spirit has gone to the God who gave it.
