styled the author of the Declaration of In.

mind. And, as il to put in the strongest
light the glaring Inconsistency Of those whe
profess to be his disciples in these more
modern days, lie bequeathed to his country
among his last labors, the ordinance fl787,
precisely similar in its object to the "M
souri, Compromise, upon which self-styled
Democratic Congress and administration
have laid wicked hands and slain. Well
may every honest Democrat exelaim with
the expiring Caesar, "Et tn Brute" as he
sees his party thus cruelty betrayed by
men whom his vote helped into power
Bad as the Nebraska bill seemed at the
hour OF its passage, half its iniquity was
not then known. A new and astounding
fraud has very recently been discovered by
Messrs. Campbell, of Ohio, Benton, Mace
and others in that bill. 1t seems that be-
fore its passage Mr.. Richardson, of Illinois,
stated to the House that his substitute was
the Senate BILL simply, pitiom the Clayton
wociso, when. in fact, he had inserted q
clause providing that no persons, other than
citizens of the United States, should either
vote or hold office until they had ''sworn
to support the Constitu, on of the U. s.,
and the provisions Of this bill" You will
hardly believe, know tina, u fraud SO glar-
inely infamous has really b en- perpetrared.

The Queen Of Song.

The telegraph has briefly announced to
our readers the death of Madame SGxrAc.
gbo died IN Mexico Of cholera. The fol-
lowing tribate is from the Buffalo Err
press.
Often IN the midst Of duties which custom
has rendered mechanical, are we arrested
by some announcement that chlils the
blood, strikes pang to the heart, and Gauss
ua to remember our fraility. Such an IN.
nounccment Ii now bcforeus.
But little Is known as yet of the meian-
ehoy particulars of the great truth that has
stolen, unaW ares, upon US. We know that
Sontag is dead-that the s.Queen OF Song
has put away her s2epter, taken off her en-
broiderad robes and laid her down to rest
upon the bosom whence she came. The
seanty information furnished by the tele-
esanh acquaints US that returning to the
United States from Mexico, and whilst on
board the steamer running between Vera
Cruz and New Orleans, Madame Sontag
vas attacked By cholera, and after q snort
illness perished.
1t is well know that the departed resuNs
ed duty which she had drepudiated, in oue-
dienee to the stern mandate Of necessity.
She had crossed the sea, passed from place
to pace-welcomed when she came, re-
GREETED when she went-seeking to build up
the shattered fortunes of her husband, and

them the mournful story of their Mothers

which they fall. and crush the hearts into
which they sink! Poor motherless cml'

Madame .5ontag was fifty years OF age
Her personal beauty was the theme OF ua,-

class which will never be copied--for the
mould is broken. Her career as wife.

virtue, and the angel that came for her,
never led a sweeter spirit to the skies
That she has found place amid the aten

doubt--for is it not written, "As well the
