Our readers have no doubt noticed in
our Geographic column that Mr.. Slidell
of Louisiana. has introduced into Congress
resolution contemplating the repeal of
our neutrality laws with Spain. The rea-
son for this important step is not vouch-
safcd. and we are left in entire ignorance
with reference toit. Spain has made apo
logy fer her share in the Black Warrior
difficulty. and rendered, it is said, ample
pecuniary indemnity Gor all injury sustai-
ned 50 that there does not appear to be
to an ordinary eye the least ground for
any animosity on our part toward Spain.
The reason must be looked for else
where than in any matters Of public or
official character between the two nations.
1t is ruucrcd on good authority and cur
rently believed, that the Captain General
of Cuba has in his pocket a royal decree
manumitting all the slaves on the island
to take effect as soon as the Captain &c
neral chooses officially to proclaim it.
which probably is the reason for this
move by Slidell and renders the necessity
of orr taking the island and going TO war
with Spain, and as consequence with
Great Britain and France, urgent and i'm
MEDIATE. What will be the result Of it
all it is difficult to tell There is no ques-
ton but the Pierce and the whole Admit
nistration are ready for whatever the
South demands 80 the fear of disastrous
war for the purpose alone of unfolding
slavery. is by no means idle.
1t Is instructive to remark in this con-
ncction. that these men who are willing
and anxious to go to war with Spain TO
prevent her from exercising, not only her
unque>tioned rights, but the ordinary die
tatcs of justice and humanity, are great
sticklers for the application Of the Mon
roe doctrine to our soil, as also the doc
trine of letting every community manage
its own affairs.

Sinrular Phenomenon.

About seven o'clock last evening. such
Of our citizens as happened to be looking
into the sky little to the north of west
a few degrees above the horizon. witness
ed what appeared to be a sudden burst
ing Of ball or mass cc fire of considera-
bic diameter, which as it appeared, fell
rapidly toward the earth, leaving a.bril-
liant train in its descent. After falling a
short distance it became stationary but
expanded into what seemed small lu-
minious cloud. When we saw it, which
was a few minutes after itfcn, at the point
FROM which it started as also that where
it stopped, was this luminous cloud ike
appearance the two being connected BY
a yery bright but exceedingly crooked
line Of light. 1t looked like an immense
fiery serpent in the heavens. expanded
however at either end INTO what seemed
cloud Of fire or exceedingly luminous
smoke. As we looked this line of light
grew more and more crooked but still
retained It's connection with the two lu-
minoUs bodies which maintained their
distance apart. For at least half an hour,
this singular appearance was visible, it
very gradually fading from sight until
quite lost We have heard of mcteors
bursting blazing, and disappearing but
we never either heard Of or saw. phe-
nomenon like this.

A Mr.. Ira BLooD, of Mukwonago. a re-
spectacle storekeeper, of that place. wrote
letter to the Waukesha Democrat. say
ing he had taken the Press and that the
Democrat had come to him in its place
that he would be glad to continue it if he
thought it what its name implies. a dem
ocrdfic paper-and asks if paper Is dem
ocratic which condemns as tories those
who speak in commentator Of nation
that offers an asylum for slaves. if Amer
lea deserves credit for Offering any asylum
to millions Of the oppressed of Europe
ought not the nation which offers an asy-
lum to slaves also deserve credit, and if Il
Fugitive Slave would not find safety in
Ireland, and protection and sympathy in
the true Irish heart
The Democrat replies to this by de-
failing the conduct, in its version, of Mr.
Blood as a juror, accusing him of perjury,
and the most criminal peryerseness.
This attacking the personal character
of an opponent, in answer to his political
arguments, inquiries, and positions, to
our minds is characteristic Tyranny and
oppression and is unworthy true man
hood and common decency.
Ifpeople should treat YOU so, Mr.. Dem
ocrat, would you not think them despica-
bly, mean?
