10 The wings of New York, at their re-
cent convention, nominated for governor
MYRoN IL. CLARK, for licutenant.govcrnor
HENRY j. RAYMOND. The latter is editor
Of the New York Times.
The wings expect to make clean sweep
in New York this fall in consequence of the
disafectiOn among the democracy. 1t is for
this reason that SEWARD and THURLow
WEED persist in keeping up an independent
wing organization. We should not be sur
priscd to find them disappointed. and if nc
feated now, Seward is down forever, for it is
one of those efforts which, lacking both sense
and honesty, if it meets not with success,
must ovcrwhelm its authors. We think
SEYMoUR's chances much better than
CLARK's.

The American Board of Commissioners
for foreign missions, at their recent session
in New York city, by vote of So TO 49,
washed their hands of slavery" as the
Evening Post expressed it, The particular
action of the Board was the severance of all
connection with the Choctaw Missions.
Those familiar with the business of the Mis-
sonary Board will understand the full effect
of this better than we do, though we infer
from what the Post says that it is a separa-
ton of the Board from all connection with
slavery. The Post says:
The debate upon the report, which was
carried by the decisive majority of SIS to 10,
was protractcd and exciting to an unusual
degree. The importance of the decision
seemed to be fully realized on both sides of
the discussion, and, Notwithstanding the re-
mOnstrances of the more conservative men,
bers, such rs Chancellor Walworth, Rev
Drs. Tyler of Connecticut, VIM. Adams of
New York, and Riddle of Massachusetts,
the Board has deliberately resolved to risk
its hold on the support of the slaveholding
churches and to throw itself unrcscrvcAly
upon the churches of the North and West,
which i'll many cases have been alicnatcd
from its support on account of its hesitatiug
conduct in former years relative to this ques-
ton.
The Post concludes its article as follows !:
The lesson to be derived from the action
of the American Board is of no ordinary
significance. 1t shows steady advance on
the part of the great conservative religious
bodies of this country, corresponding with
that which is observable in our political af-
fairs, in the application of common sense to
the solution Of the difficulties so frequently
presented by the vcxatious slavery question
There is nothing like marching right up and
calmly facing Il question, and the main
cause of the troablc from this matter hereto
fore has been the failure to look at it as We
would any other subject, and then dispose Of
it. Had this been done before, an infinite
deal of useless talk and distraction in the
church would have been saved We CON
graduate the Board, and the vigorous and
enlightened body of clergymcn who now di-
rect its counsels, upon the auspicious exam

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE.-The number
Of languages spokenin the world amounts
TO 3,O23.-5S7 in Europe, 500 in Asia,
27G in Africa, ,2G4 in America. The in
habitants of the Globe profess more than
1000 different religions. The average
of human life is % years. One quarter
die previous to the age of years one
half before reaching II and those who
pass that age enjoy felicity denied TO-
one-half the human species. To every
1000 persons only one reaches one hun
dred years of life; to every one hundred
only six reach the age of IS; and not
more than oHe in five hundred lives to-
see 80 years of age. There are on earth
1,000,OJ0,OO0 inhabitants; and of these
81, 1873, 1873 die every year, 1884 every
day, $3.50 every hour, and sixty every
minute, or one every second. These los.
ses are about balanced by an equal num-
Der of births. The married are longer
lived than the single, and above all, those
who observe a sober and Industrious con-
duct. Tall men live longer than short
ones. Women have more chances of life
in their favor previous to being 50 years
of age. than men have, but fewer after
wards. The number of marriages is inv
proportion of rs to every ] 900 individ-
uals. Marriages are more frequent after
the cquinoXes; that is, 4uying the months
OF june and December. Those born Ire
the spring are more robust than others.
Births and deaths are more frequent by
night than by day. The whole number
of men capable of bearing arms is calcu-

WHAT is TO BE EXPEcTED.--It is hintef
from all sides that Milwaukee as usual, will
be sure TO cast her vote for a Milwaukee
man. That Wells will be nominated there
is but little doubt, and if he is nominated it
seems TO be forcgonc conclusion that the
Republican nominee cannot depend upon
the vote of that city any farther than a few
hundred of the ancient, firm and consistent
friends of freedom -Rdcine Adrocate.
We have strong faith that the Racine Adj
vocatc, and the friends of the Republicans
cause throughout the First District, will be
agrceably disappointed in the vote Of Nlilwau-
kec this fall. Unless all signs fail and the pop
ular rentsets suddenly back, Judge Spoon
er will get a heavier vote in this city and
county, than any opposition candidate for
Congress ever obtained heyc- Aud this, no
matter who is nominated by the Sham De

The Fugitive Law.

We have frequently had occasion to re,
mark that this law was binding on no man
for the simple reason that it was itself a
concentrated mob,--a violation of all law
Let one of its expounders speak for it. A
short time since three bullys from the South
on Sunday, in public thoroughfare in Chi
cago, setupon acolored man, and with bludg-
cons and pistols attempted to kidnap and
take him into slavery. He escaped from
them and fed to Canada. They were ar
rested and bound over to appear at trial. -
and subsequently the Grand Jury of Cook
county found an indictment against them.
In the mean time however, they were taken
on writ of Habeas Corpus before Judge
Treat at Springfield, who discharged them
for reasons as follows
Mr.. Justice Treat discharged the prison
SIS on the broad ground that the prisoners
were authorized 20 make the arrest wherever
and Whenever they might find him, and TO
use such force in doing so as they might
deem necessary. That is, if the slave at
tempted to escape they were justified in
stopping him with bullet, if they deemed
it cxpcdicnt.

Reciprocity.

In all probability our readers have not
forgotten that Reciprocity treaty with
Canada was one of the acts of our glori-
Gus administration during the last ses-
sion of Congress. This treaty provided
that our products should go into Canada
free of duty, and theirs in turn should be
received in the same manner in this coun-
try. What we have to send there. and
the manner in which we are to be bene-
fitted, our readers can guess full as well
as we can tell them. What they have to
send here, and how they expect to be
benefited. and how it is to affect us, the
following ''eye opener" from resident
of canada published in the Tribune will
furnish the necessary information:

ready annexed us, So far as pocket inhl-
ence is concerned, by the late treaty, in
receiving every kind of Agricultural Pro
ducts free Of duty. You have given us a
free market to your whole Union. You
have conferred a greater boon on Canada
than was ever before known in her his
tory. You have advanced Canadian lands
to the plice of those of Western New
York. You have conferred bounty on
us to the immense loss of the farmers of
the Western States. We can ask no
more at prcscnl. All are contented with
the prospect of the future.
