A Mistake somewhere.

One Capt. Smith has just been tried and
convicted in New York ofpiracy, for being
engaged in the SLAVE TRADE. The Unit
ed States law Furnishes this crime with death.
About the same time, John Ryecraft is tried
and convictedin Wisconsin, he lping 4 slave
to escape, and the United States law pun
ishes this offence with fine and mprison-
ment. Now, if Capt. Smith deserves hang
for making slaves, surely John Ryecraft
ought not to be punished for setting them
free. Orif Ryecraft must be fined end i'm
prisoned for aiding in slaves escape, sure
ly Smith should not &c hung for helping to
catch them. Yet both these things are
done under the United States law. Let US,
for consistency's sake. revive and protect
the Slave Trade, or else repeal the Fugihca

SECRET SLAVE LEAGuE.-It would seem
from the following, which we copy from the
St. Louis Democrat, that the Nebraska null
lfiers of that State are determined to leave
no stone unturned in order to force slavery
into the Territory of Kansas.
Senator Atchison is at present engaged
in the upper country, organizing secret
society to consist Of FIVE thousand persons
pledged to repair into Kansas on the day
of the first election heldthere, to vote slave
ry into that territory. Ofthis we have au-
thentic information, and in few days we
shall expose the whole scheme; for while
we wish to see the people of Kansas de-
termine the question oftheir own domes in.
stitutions, in forming their own State con.
s.itution we cannot and will not tolerate
such an unlawful and Ubiquitous rascalty
as that OF Drunken Davy' which propos
es that large body of men who are not
and do not intend to become, residents o
thatterritory, sha II by force and violence
override the sense and wishes Of its legiti.
mate settlers"

The letter from Mr. E. Thompson would
fail to interest the generality of ourreaders
We regret that he had to travel over our en-
tire State and at last had to settle in the
very southwestern corner. Itreminds us of
young lady refusing all the good offers as
she passes through life and at last content to
accept second-rate husband.

The Upper Rapids.

Hon. A. c. DopGE in his anti" Democrat
c"speech before the Senate favoring the
Improvement Of rivers and harbors, tins al
Iudes to the extent Of the Upper Rapids and
the importance of further appropriation by
the General Government -
"The Upper or Rock River Rapids, so
named from their proximity to Rock River,
are fourteen and quarter miles long, extend
ing from near the foot of Rock Island to lie
Claire, on the right and Port Byron on the
left bank of the river. The fall, according
to Colonel Lee, from the head to the foot
of these rapids, is twenty-five and three
quarter feet, and very much Of the character
of the lower. Iu consequence OF the short
turns and narrowness of he passes between
the reefs, boats cross the current obliquely,
and run great risk Of destruction. Once
let the obstacles interposed by these rapids
be removed, 90 as to afford safe passage up
and down the river over them, and we will
have a continuous navigation from the Gulf
Of Mexico TO the Falls of st. Anthony-a
distance oftwo thol sand two hundred miles"

ANOTHER FUNERAL OF BAKED MEATS
We observe by the Dubuque Express and

of the Post Master of that city, on the 18th
inst, sit was resolved that a banquet be
given by the Democrats of Dubuque to the
Hons. A. c. Dodge, G. w. Jones, and Bern

of the Democratic right Of self government"
in other words, for standing up to the Ne

forciby of the funeral of baked meats serv-
ed up to Judge Douglas Immediately after
his defeatin Illinois. "To man up a tree -
it looks very much like adding insult to iniu-

suppose the real idea is to show that if Ne

neautifpl Extract.

+ The editor OF the Knicksrbocker attrib
utes the following to Ike Marvel. !.
Last evening we were walking leisurel.
along. the music of the churches came float
ing out in tho darkness around us, and the,
we're all new and strange tunes but enc
and that one--it was uIt sung as we have
heard it, but it awakened the tram OF long
buried memories, that rose to US az they
were, before the cemetery OF the soul had
tomb in it.
II was swce, old .sCorinth" they were
singing-singing that we have herad since
the rose color OF life was blanched; and we
are in a moment back again to the OLD VII
lage church, and it was summer afternoon
aud the yellow sunbeams were streaming
through the west windows, and the silver
hair Of the old deacon, who sat in the pull
nit was turned to gold in its light, who we
used to think could never die, SO good was
he, had concluded the application and Eek
hortation," and the village choir were sing
ing the last hymn, and the tune was Go
rinth."
II is years-we dare not think how many
since then, and the "prayers OF David. the
son of Jesse, are ended" and the cholr are
scattered and gone. The girl with blue
eyes that sung alto. and the girl with BLACK
eyes that sang air--the eyes OF one were 'iKe
a clear June heaven at noon.
They both became wives, both mothers,
both died. Who shall say they are not
singing "Corinth'' still, where sabbaths
never wane aud congregations never orea *
up, There they sat Sabbath after Sabbath
by the square column on the right OF the
leader and to our young ears their tones
were the every soul of music" That col
umn bears still their penciled names, as they
wrote them in those days in lfe's June Is,
before dreams or changes had overcome
their spirit like summer cloud.
Alas I. that with the old singers most OF
the sweet tones huye died upon the air but
they still linger in memory, and they shall
vet be sung in the sweet reunion OF song
that shall soon take place in hall whose
columns are beams Of morning light, whose
ceiling is pearl, whose floors are gold, and
where hairs never grow sllvery, and hearts
never grow old. Then she that sang alto,
and she that sang air, shall be in these places
once more.

The AMERICAN IpEA.-- When one ide a
predominates strongly above all Others, it
is key to nations history. The great idea
Of Rome, that which the child drank in with
his mothers milk, was Dominion. The
great idea of France is Glory. In despot
isms, the ide OF the king or the church pos
sesses itself of the minds Of the people, and
a superstitious locality or pety becomes the
badge of the inhabitants. The most inter-
esting view of this country il the grandeur
of the idea which has determined its histo-
~, and which is expressed in all institu-
tons. Take away this, and We have moth
ing to distinguish US. In the refined arts,
in manners, in works of genius, we are as
yet surpassed. Ffom our youth and insu-
lated position, our history has no dazzling
brilliancy. Bnt one distinction belongs 10
US. A great idea, from the beginning, has
been working in the minds OF this people,
and it broke forth with peculiar energy in
our revolution. This is the idea Of human
rights Claiming.

it will be seen that the Commercial Bank
Of Toledo, branch of the State Bank 0!

Much excitement existed there growing
out of the arrest Of a man charged with ne

"MAERrED YESTERDAY Every day in
the journal, that with the first CLEAN Of the
sun is flung within our portals, we read this
little sentence, Married yesterday, So and
So" Every day there is wedding feast
in some Of the mansions of the earth; a
clasping Of hands and union Of hearts in
the dim aisles of some holy temple, a
pie, a pledging ofeternal love and consten-
ey during all the hours that are yet to come
down, like spring flowers, upon life's path
way. Each day some new marriage crown
is put on, and she that bears it, leaning up
on him whose love is the brightest jewel
set amid its leaves, steals away from the
''dear old home" and ncstles tremblingly
in the fairy cot where Loves hand has
trained the honey-suckle over the lattice
porch, and placed Eolan Tyres in all the
easements.

.sy,issinguiIAsd' Visitors!


About fortnight since our city was hon.
ored with the angust presence Of female
Assroloser--a lady who brought to light hid
den shings and revealed lost or stolen treas
ures! Not 6nding our citizens communica-
tive enough 10 furnish her with data from
which to draw her "scientifc" deductions
she left without publicly announcing her
presence and mission.
Last week another female made her ap-
pcarance on the stage and announcedherself
in private circles as the blind goddess OF
Fortune who dispensed gifts to al.-who
paid literally for them. This lady dealt in
something more substantial than words,
though it is said she was by no means def
cient in that attribute so generally awarded
her sex. The wheel over which she presi-
ded contained no blanks, though some very
insignificant prizes. She generally had
about 90 tickets which she disposed OF at
$500 each. The highest prize was six
dress, and the lowest port monaie. Quite
a number Of gentlemen were induced to
make investments in her lottery, but we have
heard of few who drew prizes ofany value.
