PASTALooSs WITHOUT SusPENDERs- Pro
fessor La Borde, Of South Carolina college, in
his recent work on Physiology, says:
"As the women have concluded to dispense
with shoulder straps, some men, especially in
the city, have thought they would prove pan
falcons can be worn without suspenders. The
men now strut the streets with their pantsloons
tightly buttoned side by side with the women,
whose skirts or petticoats are firmly bound
around their persons. Upon fair view the
evil is the same in both cases, pressure upon
the vital organs, impairment Of their proper
action, want Of development, deformity, disease,
and premature death. The New York Phre-
biological Journal says: As we walk the
streets of our city, we see scores of boys
from twelve TO sixteen years old, with their
pants buckled very tightly around their dis
connected bodies, preventing growth at this
rapidly growing age, and the result is gene

A collection of-Daniel websters letters, with
Biographical Notes, is about to be published
in Boston, from which a correspondent Of the
New York Erening Pot extracts a few
passages. Il appears that Daniel while a law
student, helped to support his brother Ezekiel, at
college by copying deeds, &c, the latter also
occasionally recruiting his finances by school
teaching. The correspondence between the
two, on the ways and means, is interesting

Pardon OF DIR. BeaIe, the Dentist.

Gov. Pollock, of Pennsylvania, has extended
his clemency to DR.. Beale, and RENTED the
remainder of his sentence Of imprisonment,
which was four years and six months, begin
ming on the 18th Of November, 1854, He has
served, therefore, about one year Of his term.
The pardon states the reasons which induced
the Governor to extend this favor.
He had received communications from about
one hundred and forty dentists and twenty
three physicians of this city and the country,
stating their belief that testimony as to mat
tiers transpiring under the influence of ether is
usafe and unreliable from a number of other
physicians named, that they believe him inno-
cent; from a large number of the bar, and
citizens Of the various States, including the
names Of governors, attorney generals, &C.,
| that they believe he was convicted on INSULT
cient testimony; from the Mayor of Philadel-
phia and fifty members OF the Philadelphia
City Councils from members of the Legisla-
ture, Judges of the Supreme Court, editors of
Philadelphia newspapers, and five thousand
other citizens Of Pennsylvania and New York,
| with five of the jury on the trial, all asking for
his pardon. After enumerating all these facts,
the Governor says;
sand whereas, the Board of Inspectors of
the said Philadelphia County Prison Gas APP
pears by their communication on file in the
Office Of the Secretary of the Commonwealth
have unanimously recommended the pardon OF
the said DR.. Stephen L Beale, because, in their
opinion, the end contemplated by the law in
the moral reform of the prisoner has been at
tained-because full and ample satisfaction
has been rendered to public sentiment by the
Imprisonment he has already undergone-be.
cause his health is already breaking down un-
der the sufferings of body and mind which he
has already endured, and because the destitute
condition Of his aged parents and bereaved
and sorrowing wife and children, imperatiyely
demand the presence and support of their son,
husband, and father.
"And whereas, after full and careful ex-
animation of the facts and evidence in the case,
aided by the scientific discussions to which it
has given rise, without any intention to reflect
upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt testified to
what she believed did occur-nor to impugn
the integrity of the learned Judge who tried
the case, nor the honesty of the Jury who con-
victed the prisoner,) am now satisfied that
the defendant, DR.. StephenT. Beale, is not
guilty of the crime whereof he stands charged,
and was convicted upon evidence unreliable in
its character and insufficient in amount.
q do, therefore, in consideration Of the pre-
misses, pardon the said DR.. Stephen t. Beale
of the crime whereof he is convicted as afore,
said, and he is here by fully pardoned accord
ingly."

FIRST FRUITS OF THE ANTI NEBRASKA COMB
NATION,


The late and murderous resistance of the law
Boston has two-old significance which should be
fully studied 1t only significant of the unchanged
hostility of the aboonsts to the ugtveslave law but
pointed Enthusiastically to the real purpose for which the
natcal leaders sought to get up agitation upon the
Nebraska bill There never particle of honesty or
sincerity in the abolition clamor raised upon the PROPOSE
ton TO repeal the Missouri Compromise Those who were
oudest in this camor entertained the slightest
spec, for that Compromise They affected be honest
that they might consummate coalition with such wings
and democrats in the free States sincere in regard
ing the act Of 1920 binding compact Their hope
form permanent coalition this question which
would swell the ranks Of abolitionsm, and give them
strength efec, their real obecte succesM repeal
resistoace Of the tpgitre-siaue lar
The arrest Of the fugitive Burns Immediately after the
passage of the Nebraska b enabled the abolition leaders
the permanency OF their coalition from which they
hoped for so much If all the wings and democrats who
had followed their lead in opposing the Nebraska bill
would have followed their counsel resist the enforce
Of the law against Burns the fugitive would have
been rescued than the blood Of one man would
have been spilled The eageness with which the abolition
leaders awaited themselves Of the first opportunity to make
their strength and Of the fidelity Of their
ciaic proves beyond question that Il was not opposition
to the Missouri Compromise but hostility TO the Compro-
misc Of 1850 and especially the ugtvesave law which
actnaed tho Summers, Chases, Giddngses and Stewards
in their hypocritica warfare upon the Nebraska bill
The failure Of their late associates to stand by them in
their REASONABLE resistance Of the law has disclosed 10
them the fact that the coalition which they relied TO
sustain them Ia their work Of treason and murder was not
permanent and perpetual alliance Thousands Of wings
and democrats who occupied the suspicious attitude OF
harmonizng with the abotonists in opposition to the
Nebraska bin win rejoice in the opportunity TO clear their
skirts OF the faint Of the foul association by denouncng
the late murderous riot The blood Of innocent man
rests upon the leaders who oounseed and melted the riot
Tho law may only reach and punish the immediate agents
who shed the blood Of the deputy marshal but just pub
lie viii hold leaders responsible who stood out Of
harms way but couusced the Violence which resulted in
the murder.
What now must be the reflections Of those whg. and
democrats who lately resisting the Nebraska
bin shoulder 10 shoulder with the aboliiioniss What
be the judgment Of all rejecting lovers Of Law and
order upon the Strange combination which numbered in
Its ranks not only abolitionis and northern wings and
northern democrats but few southern wings and one
southern democrat The Boston riot tbe first fruit
Of that continuation the blood Of innocent man was
the consequence Of the riot so melted.
