The Complain, aSnln., Butman.

1t is well known that Butman, the kidnap-
per, is under bail to appear at the Police
Court, in this city, on Monday next, to an
swer to a charge Of carrying concealed wea-
pons." Subsequent to the primary arraign-
ment of Butman, upon the above named
charge, he gave pledge to certain gentlemen
that he would he, err return to Worcester
again, after leaving it that day. Now, there
is no doubt that the great majority of the cit
liens of this city would, for several reasons,
prefer to hold Mr.. Butman to his pledge, and,
therefore, common justice should for once, at
least, be awarded to him, by the withdrawal
of the complaint against him. Let the COM
plainant in the case acknowledge satisfaction,
and, according TO the common practice, the
complaint be discharged, and Butman notified
of the fact. This done, and neither Butman
or his friends can afterwards offer any excuse
for his return to this city, as they have been
urging since his hasty flight. If, after the with
drawal of the complaint, he returns, by the
advice of his professed sympathizers and
friends, then the responsibility of his coming,
and what may flow from the presence of so
vile wretch in our midst, will fall upon him
and his supporters. We do not predict what
the result would be. "An ounce of preven-
tive is worth pound of cure" We hope,
therefore, that Asa o. Butman will never
come to Worcester. The excited state of pub
bic feeling, consequent upon the mere rumor
of his coming, is indicative of what may occur,
should he appear again in our city. In the
event that Justice Green declines to discharge
the complaint against Butman, then he is in
duty bound to appear; and, of course, no good
citizen win object. Let him come and have
an impartial hearing, and depart in peace
Let the citizens be on the alert, while he is in
their midst, that he may have no opportunity
to practice his nefarious business of kidnap-
ping. But we cannot believe, under all the
circumstances, that Justice Green, or any good
citizen, will, by any act, give so obnoxious a
person as Asa o. Butman, the slightest excuse
for visiting this city again. May Worcester
never be disgraced by his presence.

MBMENTo MoRI.-We have received me-
dallion, which is suitable for being placed on
tombs, and which is calculated to preserve
lively recollection of the beloved ore over
whose low bier it is placed. 1t consists of an
ornamented frame, made of what is called
"Parian," and having daguerreotype por-
trait of the deceased placed in it. The sub
stance of which the frame is composed is por-
celain, which has the rich appearance of Pa
rian marble. The ornaments are arabesques,
in alto re9iepo. The portrait is covered by a
medallion, having an anchor on it. The
whole arrangement is tasteful and appro-
pirate. They are kept for sale at Babbtts
daguerreotype rooms.

The ELECTIONS. latest news from
Wisconsin indicate that the Republicans have
swept the State. Spooner, Washburn and
Bellinghurst, Republicans, are elected to Con-
gress. The Legislature is Anti Nebraska.
The returns from Michigan show, almost to
certainty, that Brigham, the Republican can
didate is elected Governor; and they show to
acertainty that Howard, Waldron, Walbridge
and Misner, Republicans, have been returned
to Congress. Tn Illinois the same cheering
results have taken place. Seven Anti Ne
brasca members of Congress have certainly
been returned; and the Legislature is of the
same decidedly Anti Nebraska complexion.
In New Jersey 4 of the representatives to
Congress are Anti-Nebraska. Wherever the
issue before the people, has been clearly and
enthusiastically placed upon the Nebraska and
Anti Nebraska question the success of the par
ty of liberty has been triumphant. The same
result would undoubtedly have been the
case in New York and Massachusetts if the
pride of party had not induced the Wings to
oppose fusion of all the friends of freedom.
The returns from New York give no def
mite idea of the result in that State. The is
sue is between Seymour, (soft-shell democrat)
and Ullmann, (Know Nothing. The latest
report was, that Ullmann leads Seymour's
plurality, in the city Of New York, is 1900.
Baker, OK. Nd is probably elected Mayor
Oakley Hall, District Attorney, and Bradford,
(whig) Surrogate. Guy Patton, (whig,) is
elected to Congress in the Sd district. Strana-
han, (whig,) in the second. John Kelley,
(soft,) in the 4th. Andrews, (whig,) in the
9th. Wheeler, in the 9th. Russell Sage,
(whig,) in the 18th. Matteson, (whig,) in
the goth. Middleton. Csoft,) in the 25th.-
Bayard Clark, (whig,) in the 9th. Miller,
(whig, } in the 18th. Harcourt, independently
in the l4th. Spooner, (soft,) in the 18th
jackson, (hard, in the 18th. Granger, wing,
in the oath. Williams, (soft,) in the 29th.-
Haven, (whig,) in the 32nd.
As far as we have yet received returns, Ull-
mann has $4,000; Seymour, $4,000; Clark
$4,000; and Bronson, 1000 votes for Governor.
The latest accounts are that Ullmann leads
Seymour 5000.

A MAGNIFICENT FARM AND FARMER.-A
Vermont paper says-"Among the conspic-
nous men in the Vermont Legislature, is Mr..
B. 6. Brigham, of Fairfield. He owns and
cultivates 1900 acres of land. Among his
barry ard items are two hundred and twenty
cows, twenty horses, and five yoke of oxen.
In his dairy, he makes butter only. The av.
erage yield of butter from the milk Of each
COW is one hundred and fifty pounds. The
huge dasher churns are set in motion by two
horse-powers, and the butter is worked by the
old-fashioned paddle. His stock of cattle con-
sumo about five hundred tons of hay annually;
10000 lbs. of pork, 500 bushels of wheat, from
400 to 500 bushels of corn, 1000 bushels of
oats, and from 1000 to 1000 bushels Of
potatoes, are among his yearly products
The Man of w. in his best estate, could not
do better than this. Mr.. Brigham himself is
got up with breadth of beam, and in style
of magniGcence proportionate to the extent of
his possessions and agricultural products-he
standing feet in his boots, and weighing,
by one of Fairbanks's patent balances, 300 lbs.

Mn. CoBDEN ON THE WAR.-Mr. Golden, in
explaining to the editor of an English journal
his celebrated expression of crumpling up
Russia like apiece of paper" says that he on
ly alluded to naval operations, and not in the
remotest degree to an attack upon Russia by
land. That operation has, however, he says,
been undertaken by the most powerful army
that ever crossed the sea. If it should sue
coed, as many now anticipate, in easily cap
turing Sebnstopol and occupying the Crimea
If the Russians should fail to oppose to the
invading armies that unyielding obstinacy
which has hitherto always characterised them
when contending with an enemy on their own
soil-and if, happily, another carnage like that
of Borodinc should not plunge England in
mourning for the highest and lowliest of her
sons, it will, confess, prove Russia to be
weaker than even believe her to be. But 1
cannot pretend to the merit of having foreseen
such result in lS49, when | admit should
have considered an attack upon Russia by
land hardly more probable than an attempt on
the moon.

BELOW, we give communication, which,
50 far as we have heard it expressed, presents
the views and feelings of the mass of this
community. When Asa o. Butman came
amongst us, proving about, assigning 10 one
person one reason for his being here, and an
other reason to another, and so conducting
himself as justly to excite suspicion, consid-
ering his well known character as kidnap-
per, the people deemed it right and fit that he
should be closely watched. They would glad
ly have been relieved of that trouble, and they
would now prefer that there should be no oc-
casion for his presenting himself amongst us
again. We trust that wise and prudent
course may be taken, and that nothing to ex-
asperate feeling already in an irritable state,
may be attempted.

Henrr j. Gardner.

A lie is breach of promise, for he who ad-
dresses another knows that truth is expected
of hun. There is a moral obligation to yeraci-
ty upon all men and this obligation derives
its force not only from revelation but from the
very nature of society. Unveracity has been
the parent of too many evils in social life not
to have distinguished itself long ago, as a
moral wrong. In the chivalric ages courage
and an utter contempt for equivoeation, eth
er in speech or action, were the great distin-
gushing traits of public virtue. He was &C.
counted worse than dog who would burden
his conscience with lying thought or defle
his tongue with lying word. And, in our
times, though the dishonor of unveracity may
not be so universal as it was long ago, it is
still as overwhelming and destructive to him
who INDUCES in it.
Henry ]. Gardner designated as, and by his
own virtual acknowledgment, candidate for
the office of Governor of this Commonwealth,
in reply to certain structures upon his past life
and conduct as politician, wrote two letters
claiming for himself the character of total
abstainer from all intoxicating drinks and
also the character Of stern enemy to slavery.
1t has since been proved by the record, that
Mr.. Gardner has habitually drank liquor and
opposed the Maine law; and also that he has
persistently sustained slavery whenever he had
an opportunity to do So In other words Mr..
Gardner has been convicted of gross unveraci-
ty. Can a man so convicted receive any pleas
ure or honor from occupying the gubernatori-
al chair; or can his constituents have any
pride i'll his occupancy of it,
The constituents of the Governor Of Massa-
Chusetts are good men, true men, honest men,
sober, and religious men. The man to repre-
sent them truly, must be himself true, candid,
honest, sober, and religious. He is to repre-
sent the collective wisdom and virtue of the
voters Of Massachusetts. He is to be an ex-
ample to the young men of the Common
wealth. He is to be the guardian of liberty;
he is to watch over the purity of public virtue
and of public education and he is to dictate
the period of the only religious festival which
me-honored custom and deep and holy home
affections and feelings have hallowed to the
heart of Massachusetts,. Is Henry ]. Gardner
qualified for position involving so many deli
cate responsibilities VIII Christian mothers
point to him, and bid their sons try to pur-
chase eminence by following his example in
unveracitys VIII the serious men Of this
Commonwealth receive with reverence the
Thanksgiving proclamation of such an one
as hei He may be elected to the position of
Governor but it will be dearly bought emin-
ence. Years Of regret will be the price paid for
it, both by him who is elected and those who
elect him. g i would rather be right as Presi-
dent said Henry Clay; and Henry J. Gard
ner will yet regret that he did not act up to
the virtue Of his sentiment.

ard agricultural publication, to make it neces-
sary to do it again. Our present object is to
remind those who want such work, that the
December number of the Cultivator closes the
volume. The commencement of new vol
ume with the next number gives a favorable
opportunity to commence subscriptions, and
fifty cents RENTED in advance will secure the
work for year. Address Luther Tucker,
Esq, Albany. Mr.. Tucker also publishes the
County Gentleman " weekly agricultural
paper, at So year. 1t contains all the ag-
licultural matter of the Cultivator, together
with well selected melange of news, litera-

TRIAL OF JOHN MARsHALL.-The trial Of
John Marshall, stable keeper in Manchester,
N. H., for murder, is now progressing in the
Common Pleas Court of Hillsborough county.
Several witnesses were brought upon the stand
on Tuesday, and their testimony corroborated
the evidence which was adduced at the pre-
liminary examination-showing that Marshall
charged two lrishmen a higher price than
they were willing to pay, for the use of two
horses which they had hired. High words
and scuffie ensued, and Marshall struck one
of the men a blow on the head, causing death
in few hours.
