At late meeting of the City
Council. permission was granted to the
W. Il. X. to occupy any of the streets it
might see fit, within the city limits. With
all due Difference to The City Fathers, we
think there is any thing but justice in
permissions of this character, of which
this is not the first. Our own homestead,
with that of many others, will be about
ruined by these permissions, should the
projects contemplated be carried out and
if there be justice in thus destroying in
dividual property, to gire streets to a
Rail Road Company that it may save the
cost of purchasing the right of way, we
confess an entire inability to perceive it.
We have read someplace, that most men
can bear with stoical philosophy the woes
of other people, and it is probably on the
same principle, that our City Fathers can,
with great iberality, concede to Rail Road
Companies privileges which are to ruin
some one else beside themselves. Such
things ought not to be, and if there be
any Courts in the land. where Justice is
administered. will not be submitted to.

New INvENTIoN.-Mr. Burns, the pro-
pr.etor of the Young America Bowling
Alley. on Main St. has had constructed
a machine for "setting 'cm up'' without

is a cord which passes through pulleys
to the end Of the alley. By pulling on
this cord the pins are instantly set up.

stole his invention and gave at that time
a drawing of it, and a description at
length.

EsA terrible tragedy recently oc-
Cured in cambridge Co. Tennessee. Eli
iah Moore. his wife and wifcS sister were
murdered by slave, the person of the
latter being violated before being muir
dered. The neighbors turned out, hunt
ed the guilty wretch, and next day tied
him up to stake, piled faggots around
him, set fire to them and burned him to
ashcs.
4 short time since, it will be recollcct-
ed. an article almost exactly similar in
its nature was going the rounds of the
northern press, and the southern press
denounced it as a complete fabrication
and base SANDER. We have now the re-
atty of that horrible fancy sketch. 1t is
a law of nature that brutality begets bru-
tally, and such occurrences are Just as
necessarily the result Of the barbarous
institution of slavery, as it is necessary
effect shall follow cause. The horrors of
the French revolution were the result of
the expressions heaped upon the people
by the rulers, and wherever one class
Systematically condemns another to igno-
rance and degradation and oppression, it
is an inevitable result that the brutality
engendered will sooner or later burst its
barriers and vent itself upon those who
fostered it, This is the great abomina-
ton of slavery. Whilst it inilicts meal
cuIable evil upon those who cherish and
administer it. it also brutahscs and de
stroys those to whom it is applied, and
to permit it to spread in this country, to
become national institution and to pos
sess the land, is simply to hand over our
union and constitution, and every thing
we cherish and is worth cherishing to
anarchy, bloodshed every crime that an
imality and brutality can conceive OF, and
eventual destruction and dissolution. As
we love union and constitution which
depend for all their merits upon the in
tclligence and virtue of the people, so do
we abominate and war upon those evils.

Hon. rrun,an sIuilh.

We find the following. well-merited tribute to our bonored Senator. in the Knorvi1le, 7enn. Register:
 We regret that the Hon Truman Smith the distinguished Whig Senator from the State of Connecticut, has resigned his seat in the UDited States Senate. Mir. Smith was one of the ablest statesmen in the Senate, and we shall part with him with the profoundest regret; and the public service will sustain, in his absence from the national councils, an iTeparable loss. He states in his letter to his con sfituentsssthat he is impelled to take the step by the urgency Of his private affairs which have been too long neglected. by reason of his engagements at Washing ton. He finds himself under the neces> sity of being absent several weeks during the present session and it does not con. sist with his. sense of right, to hold a place of SO much responsibility, when he is unable to discharge it's duties; but he is willing it should be understood, he dees not dissolve relation, the honor of which he will cherish to his dying breath, without pang. He therefore embraces now the inevitable lot of all, and return> ing into the midst of the people. will con- tinue to sympathize wi.l, them iK resist- ing what wise and good men regard as evil. and in promoting all that is best adapted to insure the success of our free institutions and the prosperity and hap ,piness of the Ame,ican people.
 Mir. Smith has devoted a long and eyentful life in vindicating and defending the great conservative principles of the Wig party: he has ever been it's right arm of defence. The Wh;g party is more deeply indebted to him for efficient services than to any other man. His ser vices in tie canvasses of lS40. "A, AS, and '52. can never bs forgotten by any Whig who fought through those glorious battles; and we must have him at the head of the Executive committee in '56 i; his place cannot be filled by any one else His Congressional career has been maik~ ed by wise. prudent and far. seeing states manship; a fir m and unwaveting devotion 10 the best interests of his country; and willingness and readiness at all times and under all circumstances. to defend the great conservative principles of the Whig party whenever, wherever and by whomsoeyer assailed.
