Chepo, to ascertain all he could there, and base
his future movements in search of Lieutenant
Strain upon such information. At 5, p. m, on
the 18th inst, he started III company with Mr..
Charles Tuchrison and guide.
Instead OF accompanying this expedition, or
going with Captain Marshall upon that he had
requested him to carry out, Mr.. Osborne came
TO this city with the ostensible purpose OF 60
ing to Caledonia bay by sea.
We have heretofore stated that the union OF
the three governments for the survey OF the
Darien route, was induced by pretended ex-
ploratlon, and an incorrect report from Mr..
Osborne, professedy one of the first engineers
of Great Britain; and in a communication,
apparently semi-otficial, which we find in the
Panama papers, Mr.. Osborne is represented
as the head of the combined expedition, where
as neither Lieutenant Strain nor Lieutenant
st. John were in anywise placed under his
control, but had distinct and explicit insiruc-
tions from their respective governments
From this notice of Mr.. Gisbornes course
it will be seen that it has been WHOLLY decep-
tive in its character, from first to last; that he
has shrunk from such labor and such peril as was
necessary, aye, indispensable to the proper ex-
ecution of the undertaking he pretended to
have taken in hand; and that when he had
involved his own and two allied nations in
ridiculous enterprise, and had caused the des-
truction Of four of his fellow-countrymen, and
probably number of Americans of daring,
faithful, and superior character, he has aban-
doned the best clue that offered to the where
abouts of any that might be saved.
We deem it useless to indulge in reflections
upon what he should and we hope will suffer;
but we would simply ask, if the poor ravages
should be punished for the ruthless murder
they committed, how shall he escape?
Washington sentinel., 1854-04-01

CLINTON, MASSACHUSETTS, appears more q
wonder as its history is studied. Ten years
ago it was an obscure part Of Lancaster, with
say 100 inhabitants. Now it manufactures
coach lace, the best carpeting in the world,
counterpanes, ginghams, all by the power-loom,
which we believe had never before been done.
It employs some 1900 persons, with a capital
of s2,OOO,00O invested. 1t has 1000 inhabi-
tants, and seven churches, newspaper, a
savings bank, library, gas to light its princi
pal street. cemetery, a separate town organi-
zation, public park, beautiful public and
private edifices In the winter it has its lyceum,
with the best lecturers in the country. Nature
has done much for the village, or series of vii
lagos, the principal of which is situated on
high table land, surrounded by valley in
which are other villages, and beyond them
ranges of hills, partly cleared, and partly
covered with native forests. From the very
beautiful residence Of III. N. Bigelow, esq, the
mountains Wachusett and Mdnadnock are dis
tinctly seen, and as fine a view as can be well
found.--N, Y Journal Of Commerce. aaF&

ABOLITION MADNESS.

Abolitionism has rarely shown more rank
venom, more defiant boldness, and more con-
tempt for the Constitution and laws of the coun-
try, than are exhibited in the following ex.
tract:
"The preliminary examination of Booth, the
editor of the Milwaukee Free Democrat, for
having aided in the escape of the fugitive Glo-
yer, has been closed, and he gave bail in 50, 900
to answer when called upon hereafter The
following extracts from his speech before the
commissioner will show the temper of the man:
But ! am frank to say, and the prosecu-
ton may make the most of it, that i sympa-
thize with the rescuers of Glover, and rejoice at
his escape. / rejoice that, in the first attempt
of the slave-hunters to convert our jail into a
slave-pen and our citizens into slave-catchers,
they have been signally foiled and that it has
been decided, by the spontaneous uprising and
sovereign voice of the people, that no human
being can be dragged into bondage from Mil
waukie. And l am bold to say, that, rather
than have the great constitutional rights and
safeguards of the people (the writ of habeas cor
pus and the right of trial byjury) stricken down
by this fugitive law, would prefer to see every
federal officer in Wisconsin hanged on o gal
lows fifty cubts higher than Haman's. Loud
cheering. The court said, if it was repeated,
the room should be cleared Of spectators; and
Marshal Cotton elected Mr.. Mcneil from the
room for cheering.
:" May it please the court: understand well,
and this community understand well, why l
have been singled out by the prosecution. 1t
is not because am specially guilty, or more
guilty than hundreds whom the save-catcher's
attorney would not think of prosecuting but
because it is desired to make an example of me,
and the slave powers want me for victim.
That power wishes to introduce the discipline
of the slave plantations among the editorial fra
ternity, to silence their voices in behalf of free
dom and therefore it cracks its lash, or gets
the district attorney and this honorable court to
crack it about my ears, as one taught to be
most in need of such discipline
This is, perhaps, as needless a display of
philanthropy as was ever made; for the slave,
it will be remembered, expressed his willing
ness to return to his master. So the counsel
in the case asserted. But the abolition philan.
thropists are as remarkable for cvincing their
benevolence when it is not needed as they are
for Withholding it when it is.
