interests of Others"
SEWARD on THE UNIoN-The following is
from Senator Stewards closing speech on the
Nebraska Bill :-"Commercial interests bind
the slave and free States together in links Of
gold that are riveted with iron, and they can
not be broken by passion or ambition. Either
party will submit to the ascendancy of the
other rather than yield the commercial advan-
tages of this Union together; common neces-
sity, and not merely a common necessity, but
the common interests of the empire-of such
an empire as the world has never before seen.
The control Of this national power is the con-
troll of the great Western Continent, and the
control of this continent is to be in a very few
years the controlling influence of the world.
Who is there North that hates slavery so much,
Or who South, that hates emancipation so in
tensely, that he can attempt, with any hope Of
success to break Union thus forged and weld
ed together? l have always heard with equal
pity and disgust. threats of disunion in the free
States, and similar threats in the slaveholding
States. know that men will rave in the heat
of passion and under great political excite
ment but know when it comes to question
whether this Union shall stand, either with
freedom or slavery the masses will uphold it,
and it will stand until some inherent vice in the
constitution, not yet disclosed, shall cause its
dissolution"
At Fourth" celebration among the under
graduates of Browne University, the following
was one of the regular toasts:
Mane-
Her ners are fleet,
Her winters long;
But her maids sweet,
And her men are strong.

Es- The Portland Advertiser say We don't
know what our ofice-holders and o1icc-seckers
will do. Most of the churches are getting to
be rather uncomfortable for them on the sla-
very question, and if they fee from one to an
other, they only jump from the 'fryingpan in
to the fire." They will have to establish q
church of their own-a Nebraska church,

re- The "KnowNothings," says the SPRING
field Republican, are effecting an extensive Or
ganization in the heart of the commonwealth
and the feeling of hostility between them and
the Catholic population is reaching high
pitch. Threats of the most violent character
are made on both sides. In Worcester, the city
is flooded with vague rumors of intended in
cendiarism, poisoning of families, and other
murdcrous outrages, said to be in contempla-
ton by the foreign residents, who now consti-
tute about one-third of the whole population OF
the city; and many of the Irish domcstics en-
ployed in families throughout the city, openly
affirm that such deeds are to be committed at q
time soon to be determined. The Catholics are
known to be arming and preparing themselves
for some anticipated crisis, and the know
Nothings' are taking similar precautions. The
excitement is also spreading to other towns in
the vicinity, many of which have a numerous
foreign population. The rebuilding ofthe burnt
district is proceeding with energy and rapidity,
the foundations Of the immense machine works
of VIM. T. Merrifeld are nearly relaid and rea-
dy for the first floors, and it is confidently ex-
pectcd that this and most of the other indus
trial establishments destroyed by the recent
fire, will be in readiness for occupants by the
LIST of December next. The money which the
city would have appropriated for fireworks on
the Fourth, will now be contributed to the fund
for the benefit of sufferers by the firc-a COM
mendablc act.
Tue CHOIERA.--The cholera. this season, ap-
pears to have developed itself spontaneously in
almost every quarter of the North American
continent including the West India Islands.
In the city of Mexico, in population of some
100000, the deaths are reported as having risen
to 200 per day. Mexico is in valley 1000 feet
above the level of the sea---higher than the lof-
tiest mountain peak in the United States east
of the Mississippi. This altitude according to
all our preconceived notions of the cholera,
should exempt the Mexican capital from the
scourge. But the city of Mexico is an exceed
ingly filthy place, and is surrounded by lakes
some salt and some fresh water-and the exhal-
atoms from the filthy shores Of these lakes, add
ed to the filth of the city itself, will account
for the dreadful harvest there of King Cholera.
Jamaica is reported as undergoing another de-
cmation of its people by the pestilence; but
the heat of it's climate, and the density of its
vegetation, the vegetarian, lazy and filthy hab-
its of the population, and other tropical causes
will account for it. From w-Orleans to the
waters Of the Upper Mississippi, we have re-
ports of the cholera. 1t is a: Cincinnati. it ia
at Washington, it is at Baltimore, it is at Phil
adclphia, it is at Boston, it is here, it appears
