their efforts to save Nebraska; butthe deciara-
top Of the U,sion, which is in fact challenge

Won't such a contingency. If the friends Of
the Nebraska bill are not discouraged they
will find that the friends of its freedom IN the
North, are not asleep.
If would be surprising if the trainers OF the
Nshrasla hill were what they call "discour-
ared.p Persistency is characteristic both
Of very great and very small minds. In the
great. it is called individuality, and is of such
: nature that it moulds other men to its will.
II the small, it is denominated obstnacy, and
: of s,cb character thatit rebels and disgusts
sensible men. The sublime and the ridicu-
lous are very near one another in ethics. Men
in false positions are sometimes as determined
in maintaining them, as moral heroes are IN
maintaining true ones. False pride, self ex-
aggeradon, or sheer unenightened obstinacy,
sustains the former; while the conviction of
truth alone supports the other.
Douglas is insolent, self sufficient, and con-
seauently obstinate. His impudence will sus-
tain him in circumstances that would depress
a better and wiser man, with seh-reproach
and shame. His self-esteem will support him
in an attitude which more sensible man
would not dare to assume.
The people are against the Nebraska bill,
as has been testified byeemonstrance, petitions,
and the recent elections in New Hampshire
and Connecticut, but what do the friends of
the Nebraska bill care for that They are not
discouraged. They mean to put that bill
through, in spite of the people. if they can;
aldif they can get enoughef the representatives
to despise the counsel of their constituents,
they will. The vigilance and courage of the
people can, however, defeat this conspiracy in
favor of slavery, and can teach its aiders and
abettors, that retributiye justice, though slow,
is sure. By vigilance and courage, the peo-
plecan save Nebraska, in spite of Congress-;
and, oy the exercise of their franchise, they
can discharge Senator Douglas and his col
leagues, if they cannot now depress their
courage.

DISTRESSING CASE OF HYDRoPHoBIA-Mr
Hannah Willard was bitten by rabid cat six
weeks ago. She was about 55 years of age.
The cat came by her, under some apparent ex-
element Mrs. Willard put out her hand
with the intention of soothing and allaying
its feelings. The cat instantly seized upon her
hand and refused to let go until forced off,
when it escaped out of the house, and re-
turned again two days after, when it attacked
and bit another person in a similar manner
and was then killed. Mrs. Willard submitted
to the painful operation of having the flesh
cut out around the parts Of the hand that had
been bitten, and the wounds have since be-
come perfectly healed. Early last week she
began to betray symptoms ofhydrophobia, and
the usual characteristics of that disease now
attacked her with all their violence Although
clearly rational, she found it impossible to re-
frain from continual talking-a cessation from
which produced feeling Of smothering and
difficulty of breathing. There was constric-
ton of the throat, attended with spasms, which
became more frequent, violent, and distressing,
to the termination of life. A dread of ali
sorts of liquid, the sight of which produced
painful shudder, was followed by vomiting
She gradually sunk down until Friday morn
ing, when her terrible sufferings terminated
m death. We learn that DR.. Hawley of this
city, was bitten by the same cat He was at
tending upon Mrs Willard, and was there

An Improrement oil the Acc.

The Patent Elastic Horse Shoe, just now
getting into notice in and around Boston, is
made of German Spring Steel and India Rub
be-, andis so constructed as to retain its elias
ITCHY until it is entirely worn out.
This is a discovery Of great Importance. as
every one interested in that valuable and in
dispensible animal, the horse, will, upon
proper examination, perceive. Many have
been the attempts at such an improvement,
both in Europe and America; but they have
not been successful. They have left for use
the hard, stiff old shoe, after all. But this
may now be dispensed with, when such
substitute can be had as the Elastic Shoe.
This reasonably promises to be a positive
preventive, and paramount relief of all those
troubles to the feet Of the animal, which are
caused from constant conclusion upon stone
pavements and hard roads.
Facts illustrative of the worth of this shoe,
are already at hand. We refer to one case as
an instance. A pair of the shoes were put
upon valuable horse, as test of their utili-
ty, and were in constant use for four months.
The horse travelled daily ten miles, two and
half of which was upon stone payements
Previous to applying them, the animal had al
ways shrunk upon striking the pavement;
but with these shoes. writes the owner, q he
strikes boldly and freely, and upon the hard
road, moves with far greater ease and Free
dom" There are two benefits arising from
the use of this shoe. 1t is elastic, and it does
not become heated like the old iron SHOE at
the part next the tender portion of the
foot, the1pdia Rubber being a non-conductor
Of heat; so that much irritation is thus avoid
ed and lameness not only prevented, but
greatly relieved in some instances, where it
had already existed. 1t enables the horse to
travel with more case, and with greater speed.
The shoes are fastened upon the hoof after the
English method, the nails being counter-sunk,
so that the shoe will wear about four times as
long as the common one.
The indications now arc, from trials already
made, aud from expressions Of the Judgment
of the scientific, who have examined the arti-
Gle, that it must yet reach, not only the feet of
our horses In Massachusetts,, where the inn
proyement originated, but throughout the
United States, and all around the globe, and
have on exceedingly long and successful run.
It ought to do SO, not only for the mechanical
improvement, bntfor the humanity there's in
it. It is asubject not only for spectators in
patents, but for the merciful and humane ey
erywherc. our great Horse Convention last
year, could elicit such encouragement and
praise from all classes of our citizens, it would
seem that this invention for the greater useful
ness and comfort of this admirable animal.
might awaken similar interest. The shoe
has been patented in our own country. and in
England Let all lovers Of horse nature and
humanity, take note of it. q.

The Southern lady, whose effort to redeem

linquishcs all her large interest in them, and
calls on the real philanthropists of the world
to put her III the position to do the rest. So
small sum is now necessary for this, that
trust she will succeed.
The following paragraph, on the same sub
ject, is from the Neao York Journal Commerce.

part of this money will inure to the benefit of
the owner, except as it relieves her from the
agony Of seeing her servants (whom she has
promised to protect sold, she knows not to
whom, to satisfy creditors. Another fact
which ought to be known is, that the indebt-
edness which has subjected her to the necessi-
ty of making this appeal, is the result of OBJ
legations assumed in behalf of some of her
nearest and dearest relatives, when in pecu-
MARY trouble. We have the most abundant
testimony as to the excellent character of the
lady Ga member of the Presbyterian church,
who owns these slaves. Her self-denying ex-
ertions to save them from harm, are alone
powerful testimony in her favor BY allow
ing them to be sold, she would realize as much
towards the payment of debts, as she will if
the present attempt should be successful. But
such disposition of them she is most anxious
to avert not for her own sake principally nor
at all pecuniarily, but for theirs. 1t is a no.
bic, generous effort, made amid thousand
discouragements, and peisevered in only from
a sense of duty

Nebraska emigration movement;
"The movement, originating in Worcester,
for colonizing Nebraska and Kansas with free

with ten millions of dollars capital, and by the
aid of subscriptions to this capital, on which
at first but small assessments shall be made
it is intended to set on foot and foster grand

to legislate slavery into, in violation of the
nations plighted faith, and of decency and
