x In copying the remarks Of Senator Dodge
of this State upon the election of Senate Prn-
ter, the Detroit Free Press makes the following
remarks:
SENATOR DoDGE OF lowA.-Senator Dodge,
of Iowa, is known as bold, straight forward
man, and equally straight forward democrat
niways. He has never, during all the slavery
agitation, sent for moment 10 the demands of
the free soil faction and it is evident that he
will not now bend to the purposes Of any other
faction. Immediately after the election Of
Printer to the Senate, the other day, in which
certain democratic senators formed a coalition
with the wings and free sellers to defeat Gen.
Armstrong, the democratic candidate, and elect
n man who was an open mouthed whig in 1913,
MIR. Dodge expressed himself thus:
As we have heretofore copied the remarks o.
Senator Dodge upon that occasion, it is unRec-
essarv to repeat them

THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
BIT FELICIA HEMANs.

The breaking waves dash high
On a stern and rock bound coast,
And the woods against stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.
And the heavy night hung dark,
The hills and waters DER,
When band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.
Not as the conqueror comes,
They, the true hearted, came;
Not with the roll Of the stirring drums,
And the trumpet tina, sings of fame.
Not as the flying come,
In silence and in fear -
They shook the depths Of the desert gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm thsy sang,
And the Stars heard and the sea
Aud the sounding ai,les Of the dim wood. rang
To the anthem OF the free.
The ocean eagle scared
From his nest by The white waves foam.
And the rocking pines of the forest roared-
This was their leone hume!
There were men with hoary hair,
Amidst that pilgrim band -
Why had they come T. witller there.
Away from their chldhood's land
There was woman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep loves truth;
There was manhood's brow serenely high.
And the fiery heart Of youth.
What sought they thus ATARI
Bright Jewels of the mine?
The wealth OF seas, the .spuils Of war;
They sought a faiths pure shrine
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod
They have left unstained what there they found
Freedom to worship God.

FATAL TERMlNATlONO OF AN ATTACK
BY THE MOB AT HARBOR CREEK
BRIDGE

DuihlTK' Lee. ~, y, 4. NJ.
AS no Telegraph report can be relied on, be-
ing a glrbled report intended TO deceive the
public, The following statement of the ARRAY can
be relied on as being correct: As the morning
tram was about starting from Harbor Creek, the
mob commenced taking up the track in front Of
the train. Mr. Coffin, the conductor, proceeded
ahead of the engine few rods, as a iooker-on,
Some of the mob discovering him cried out
spy.-there was then a general shout, "klI
him, "cut him down" He was then attacked
with shovcls, pick axes, aud whatever missiles
they could reach. He told them to keep off
and let him alone, but his appeal was without
effect, and being in danger of losing his life,
he drew his revolver and shot one dead, and
wounded anotaer. His life being in danger, he
jumped on to an engine and proceeded to Buffa.
