Della Webster.

lhe case Of Della Webster was closed on
the l9inst. by granting the writ Of hebeas cor.
pss, and the discharge Of the lady. The facts
oi me analr were as follows: Some ten wears
ago MISS Webster was tried at I.sxingfonn fof
assisting slaves 10 escape. She way convicted
and sentenced to ten years Imprisonment went
to the Kentucky State Prison, and was IN =
short time pardon ed By Gov. Crittenden. on
The representation of Craig, the keeper. She
wentto New York and commenced business an
daguerreotypeist and afterwards through
Sraig,s influence, moved to Louisville. Craig
Placed ms children with her to be instructed
ana hnaliy made improper proposals, which
were rejected. Miss Webster then moved IN
iarm she had purchased IN Kentucky. and
was arrested on Suspicion, through the infu.
ence OF Craig, but Was discharged bv the
Judge. She then Escaped to Indiana. where
she was arrested by her prosecutors under a
requistion on the old indictments; but Judge
walker decided that the acquisitions were in
valid-wanting in some one or two points,.
and granted writ of habeas corpus to Miss
Webster. Craig and his companions, on ap-
Fearance m Indiana, assumed staggering, base
fui exterior, hourished the weapons thew wore,
and aroused the Indiana blood so that thew
whipped the negro drivers, and a Kentuckian
who lived on the place Miss Webster owned.

ships ranges nine and seventeen. then,.e nv
st. Paul by the most practicable route to
the eastern hne Of said Territory in the di-
reeti6I OF lake Superior, every alternate
section of land designated by odd numbers
for SIX sections in width on each side Of
said road acithin said Ierritory.n
So that, neither the grant nor any of its
incidents operate upon any lands not sswith-
an sad Territory" and no lands can be ia
ken for said road; nor is the price of lands
IN Wisconsin raised, though they NAV lie
within six miles of the road. Bv the terms
OF the proclamation of withdrawal, it wo'd
seem that you or the President entertain
ed different idea, and that the Minneso-
ia bill grants land to that Territory, lyino
within Wisconsin, and that it may be sold
under the direction of the legislature of
that Territory. If this is not so, where
fore the necessity of Withdrawing the land
from sale! But dissent from your views
OF this matter, as expressed in the procla-
nation above alluded to, in toto, and for
the following reasons:
Because neither of my colleagues in the
House OF Representatives were consulted.
Because no land lying in Wisconsin has
been granted for any such purpose as that
stated in the proclamation.
Because, in the event of any GRANT be-
ing made for road in Iowa, Congress has
no power, nor, if it had, would it exercise
it, to grant land in one State to be dispo-
sed OF py another State to aid in the con
struction of railroad in State in which
the land is not situated.
Because no reservation of land sho'd be
made until grants are absolutely made by
Congress.
80 far as my opinions are concerned, the
same objections exist against the withdraw
al Of seventy-fve townships, containing one
million seven hundred and twenty-eight
thousand acres, in the Menasha land dis
trlct, Wisconsin, ordered by you on the
18th Of May, sat the solicitation of a ma
Jor4ty Of tie delegation an Congress from
the State Of Michigan,o son the routes off
the Oakland and other proposed railroads, y
for 1t seems to me to be but ordinary cour-
" Ooiiouio VIC representative from the
district in which the lands lie before any
action is had in the premises. But as my
colleague is satisfied with the action of al
majority Of the delegation from Michigan,
and as it is presumed his acts reflect the
views OF his constituents in the premises, l
90 not deem il my duty to interfere mi
the Matter. But to be correct, in fact. II
apprehend you should have added, "ouaI
also a member Of the cabinet from MatI
State, :" for it seems that wherever the in
terests of that State are involved, howey-I
er remotely, there is little difficulty in pro-
curing the speedy and favorable action of
that high functionary, although it should

For the reasons above stated, | respect

A Brief Discourse

iExT--'Ihere is way that seemeth righ
unto man, but the end thereof, '&c.
i We hope it viii not be deemed sacrile.
'lg1ous to quote here this sublime precautior
/ from the oracles of Divine Truth. as a text te
discourse from, in the manner that follows
although in aid Of subjects of somewhat
secular nature, appertaining, however to
morality.
i 1t may seem right to man to NEGLECT
paying his debts for the sake of lending or
specializing upon his money, but the end
thereof-is bad paymaster.
1t may seem right to man to attempt
to live upon the fashions of the times but
the end thereof-is disgusting to all sensi-
BILE folks, and ruinous to health reputation
and property.
1t may seem right to man to attempt
to obtain a livelihood, without industry and
economy, but the end thereof-iti is hunger
and rags.
1t may seem right to man to keep con-
stantly borrowing of his neighbors, and new
er willing to lend, but the end thereof is
very cross neighbors.
1t may seem right to a man to trouble
himself about his neighbors business but
the end thereof is neglect of his own.
1t may seem right to aman to be always
trumpeting his own fame, but the end there
of is-his fame don't extend very far.
1t may seem right to man to be CON
stantly slandering his neighbor, but the
end thereof is-nobody believes anything
he says.
It may seem right to a man to indulge
his children in everything, but the end
thereof is-his children will indulge them
selves in dishonoring him.
1t may seem right to man to put off
every thing which ought to be done to-day
until tomorrow, but the end thereof is
such things are not done at all.
1t may seem right to man to attempt
to please everybody, but the end thereof is
he pleases nobody.
1t may seem right to man to excel his
nelghbors in extravaganza and luxury but
the end thereof is-he excells them in fol-
ly.
1t may seem right to man not to take
a newspaper, but the end thereof is-that
man and his family are totally ignorant Of
the ordinary occurrences of the day.
1t may seem right to a man to obtain
his news by borrowing and stealing of his
neighbors, but the end thereof is-1fraud
upon the Printer.
1t may seem right to man to worship
the creature more than the Creator, but
the end thereof is-an idolator.
1t may seem right to man to be inces-
sanity occupied in boarding up treasures
OF this world, but the end thereof is-he
has none in the world to come.

People here are disappointed with the
character of the Pioneer Party. They
find it composed of the very first class me-
chanics, farmers, DC, and mostly men o
means; and want to know if those to come
are of the same class. We told Them
much better. The truth is, this Pioneer
Party commands the respect of all witt
whom they come in contract. No drink

as preventive of diseas, eand but one in the

Interesting to Parents-The following
paragraph from London publication sho'd
arrest the attention of parents:
Poisonous Colored ConJectionary.-
The 'sLancet'' Commissioners, in reporting
the result of their investigations respecting
eolored confectionery, express their surprise
lat the extent to which deadly and virulent
poisons are daily made use of by the man
ufacturers of these articles. One hundred
and one samples were analysed: and of
the yellows, seventy contained clromate of
lead and colored gambroge; seventy mine
of the reds contained cochineal, red lead,
and bi-sulphuret of mercury; eight of the
browns contained ferruginous earths, either
Vandyke, brown, lumber, or sienna; two
of the puppies contained Prussian blue and
cochineal, thirty-eight of the blue contain
led indigo, Prussian blue, Antwerp blue,
and sulphluet Of sodium or aluminium
nineteen of the greens contained Bruins
wick green, consisting of mixture of chro-
mate of lead and Prussian blue, verditor
or carbonate Of copper, Scheele's green or
arsenite of copper. The above colors were
variously combined in different cases, three
and even four pcisofs occurring in the same
parcel Of confectionery. In four Of the
samples the colors were painted on with
white lead or carbonate Of lead; thirteen
of the samples were adulterated with by
drafted sulphate of lime; seventeen sam
pies were adulterated with wheat flour,
three with potato flour, and one with ar
row root.

BRUTAL SPoRT.--The San Francisco Her
aid gives an account of the extraordinary
performance of man named Hughesin Of
that city, by walking so consecutive hours on
a. plank Is feet long and feet wide. The
time occupied, was four days and three nights
during which the sum of $500 was taken at
the door for admittance. During the last
hour, it was necessary to whip him, to keep
him awake. He ate and drank very little
while walking, but kept bullet in his mouth.
He averaged about miles an hour, and wal.
ked o4o miles without once stopping, and was
in considerable distress after COMPLETING his
task; being allowed to sleep ten minutes and
then kept awake the space of time for fear
that if allowed to sleep any longer, he would
never awake again. 1t is an instance Of hu-
man endurance never before known, and we
trust never to record another similar one
