A MAN Run OFF IN BALLooN.-Prof. Ell
lott was to have made balloon ascension
from Richmond, Va, on Thursday, but wan
persuaded by a young man named Carrier to
let him go up a short distance. The Despatch
says that Carrier got into the car and rose
above the heads of the multitude when, to
the establishment of every spectator, he cut the
cords which held the balloon to earth, and
waving his hat, sailed off rapidly towards the
sky. The disappointment of Mr.. Elliott, who
was anticipating magnificent aerial voyage,
so affected him that he tainted, and during
the evening two physicians had to be called in.
The spectators were also quite indignant.
Carrier, when last seen, had assembled to a
great height. twas subsequently ascertain
ed, however, that he descended safely on the
farm of Mr.. E. Snyder.

outspoken representative of its servility to
slavery. Is it by voting for such man that
Freedom can be indicated, and the Nebras-
Gals condemned? No, verify no 4! Even if his
own impulses and principles were right, he is
the nominee of an organization, having slave
holding wing to which it must succumb and
which rejoices in having but recently defeat
ed Benton, the representative of the Anti
Slavery sentiment of Missouri.
There is then, but one course for true men
to take. They must cast their votes for those
who stand committed, openly and unroserved-
ly, to the cause of freedom. Objections
have been raised to Gen. Wilson, on the
ground of his connection with the "Know
Nothing organization. But we think that
Gen. Wilson has so explained his position
as to take away much of the force of this
objection. When he joined the Order,
it was before it made distinct nominations.
He went it is true, into the Convention of
that organization, but it was by advice of po-
litical friends, and, for the purpose of making
his own position unequivocal. He there stat
ed that he was the nominee of the Republican
party, committed in good faith, to their organi-
cation, principles, and purposes, and that if
he were to have the nomination of the Know
Nothings, by the vote of every delegate, he
could not accept ii, to commit himselfto their
purposes, so as to compromise the posi-
ton he had already voluntarily assumed.
And he now solemnly affirms, that he is in
no way committed to any other organization,
in dereiction of the duty he owes to the Re-
publican party, as their nominee. Consider
ing this and llis unwavering fidelity to Anti
Slavery principle under all circumstances and
on all occasions considering, too, his ability
and political knowledge, as compared to the
other candidates, can we hesitate to give him
our votei
At all events, whatever may be our individ-
ual views of men, let our votes be so given as
to tell on the right side, in the great struggle
now going on, between Freedom on the one
side and Slavery on the other.

JEW MERoHANTs.-Ther are so &any
French and German Jews, now, among the
merchants Of New York, that Jewish feast
or fast day, produces a marked dullness in the
market, on account of the absence of so many
operators. 1t is wonderful how the Jew ira
ders, as a class, thrive the world over, and no
oppression or eXtortion can drive them from
any land. Under the most tyrannical exac-
tons and contributions, in every age and every
country, they have steadily pursued their
schemes of gain and traffic; and while in past
ages they have everywhere been despised, per-
secuted, and plundered, yet after all they have
made secret accumulations of gold, which
have rendered it necessary for many of the
highest rank IN society, princes and potea-
tates, as well as the humblest classes, compell-
ed to raise money, to resort to them and pay
them roundly for pecuniary aid.
1t is this propensity and the successful de-
velopment of it, which, under Providence, has
been used to keep the Jews, for nearly 1000
years, a distinct and independent race, not
withstanding they have had no land, no home,
and apparently nothing to prevent them from
becoming merged speedily with the people
among whom they have been scattered 1t is
seldom you will find poor Jew, though many
OF them outwardly appear poor and are ex-
tremely frugal in their habits. Every Jew
the water, and he is almost always successful.
Indeed, in all our inquiry on the subject, we
have found but very few who were unsuc-
cessful and these were uniformly dishonest
persons, whose animal appetites led them to
more profuse expenditure than the race gem
orally INDUCES in, however strong may be the
animal and sensual propensitles of any of Its
members.
As class, the Jews are quite as honest,
perhaps more so, than the traficers of any
other race. They are often hard, and exact
the literal fulilment Of the letter of the bond,
even to the pound of flesh, where the power
rests with them, but this is not by any means
uniformly the case, and there are many bril-
liant examples of generosity among them, as
signal as those of the Touros of Newport and
New Orleans. Probably many of the hard
cases among them have been made so by the
harsh dealings which they themselves and
their ancestors have received.
We cannot look upon the perpetuation of
this race,so exclusively,as class of merchants
and money changers, and their wonderful diff
fusion in every mart of trade throughout the
world, as well as their signal success, and the
separation from all other races, caused by their
own habits and the prejudices of other people,
without attributing it to that Power which
works out its DEGREES though nightly and IT.
resistibly among men yet so wonderfully,
silently, and seemingly from spontaneous
growth, that only He who watches the feeble
and the humble germ, and the delicate tex
ture of buds, and flowers, and fruit, liable to
innumerable contingencies, yet guided and
protected, or perchance destroyed by invisible
agencies,-as surely as the rise and fall of emu
pires,-is able to discern its Omnipotence and

BARN BLOWN UP.-On Friday night last, a
few minutes before midnight, the inhabitants
of the village of Apponaug, in the town of
Warwick, were aroused from sleep, by sud-
den and terrific explosion, which shook the
ground for a great distance, and was distinct
ly heard for upwards Of five miles. On hur-
rying into the streets, they found them light
ed up by the burning of the barn of Mr.. John
IL. Kenyon, highly respectable citizen, who
resided within the limits of the compact por.
ton of the place. They instantly repaired to
the scene of the confagration, but found it
impossible 10 save the building, and were only
enabled to prevent the destruction of the great
err part of the village, by the fortunate circum-
stance that gentle rain was falling, unac-
companied by breath of wind The explo-
sion had broken a great deal of glass in the
neighboring houses, but the flames were hap
PLY confined to the building in which the fire
originated.
Mr.. Kenyon was aroused by the explosion,
within few minutes of twelve O'Clock at
night, and hurriedly dressing himself, hasten
ed to his barn. The tmbers were then well
on fire, which plainly shows that the fire must
have made considerable Roadway before the
explosion took place. He had barely time to
open the barn and rescue a couple of cows and
a valuable horse, before the scaffolding above
them fell with crash, and the whole build
ing was blaze of fire. The building was ter
ribly shattered above the second floor, and one
end was thrown off, by the explosion but as
the explosion, fortunately, occurred before the
fire was discovered, mo person was near enough
to receive injury. 1t was undoubtedly in the
calculation of the incendiary, that Mr.. Ken
you would discover the fire before it reached
the powder, and would lose his life in attempt
ing to extinguish it.
Mr.. Kenyon was friend of Temperance,
and had acted for and with the friends of the
cause in Kent county, in bring the rumselers
to justice. He had been warned for months,
that he would receive personal injury for this
interference with the "rights y of RUNS vo-
taries and yenders.- Providence Tribune.

a MISSING STEAMBR.-The Toronto Globe
says there is now no hope of the safety of the
steamer "Her Majesty" which was recently
built in the river Clyde, and sailed from Cork
eighty or ninety days since, for Quebec. The
steamer was of iron, two hundred feet long,
between three and four hundred tons burthen,
and of the strongest possible construction, and
was built for the Niagara and Toronto route.
When she left Cork, she had on board coal for
thirteen days consumption, which, had no ac-
cident occurred, would have brought her at
least to Newfoundland.

The ADVANTAGES OF ADvBRTIsING.-A man
may sit in an obscure alley offering pearls at
two cents apiece, and yet find no purchaser !;
but, if the same man were known to have
pearls for sale at reasonable prices, under the
shade of a rock in the desert, caravans would
be formed, and companies would go to buy
his wares. So 1t is with manufacturer. His
wares may be ever so good, his prices ever SO
reasonable, but unless he employs proper

he cannot expect appreciation. -Ne,obwyport

to fill i'll the interstices or spaces between the
pumpkins, till the receptacle is filled, or until
