ry in Tremout Temple, Boston. Among
the leading citizens present were Gov
Gardiner and Henry Wilson, United
States Senator elect in place of Edward
Everett. At the close of MIR. Burlingame'a
lecture, there was general call for Sena-
tor Wilson, who came forward and spoke
Ias follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentleman. !.
This is not the times nor the place for me
to utter word. You have listened to the
eloquence Of my young friend, sud here to
night l indorse every sentiment he has ut
tered. In public or private life, in MAORI
ties or in minofities, at home or abroad, I
intend to die with bitter. unrelenting hos
tility to Slavery on my lips. / shall yield
nothing Of my anti-Slayery sentiments to
advance my own personal interest; to ad.
vance party interests, or to the demands Of
any State or section Of our country. hope
to be able to maintain on all occasions
these principles, to comprehend in all my
affections the whole country and the people
Of the whole country; and when I say the
whole country, / want everybody to under
stand that 1 include in that term Massa-
chussetts and the North. This is not the
time for me to detain you. You have call
ed upon me most unexpectedly, to say
word. and having done SO, will retire,
thanking you for the honor of this occa-
sion."
We trust that the discom6ted opponents
of Mr.. Wilson. who have been very busy
since the election in trying to make the
people believe that he was no real foe of
Slavery, after all, will find no difficulty in
understanding the above terse and vigor-

Az ARAB LEsEED.-King Nimrod one
day commanded his three sons to enter bis
presence. and caused to be placed before
them by bis slaves three sealed urns.-
One of the urns was of gold. the other was
Of amber, and the last of clay The King
told his eldest son to choose among the
urns that which appeared to contain the
treasure of the greatest price The eldest
chose the vase of gold, on which was writ
ten Empire; be opened il and found it full
of blood. The second chose the amber
vase, on which was written Glory; be open
ed it, and found it filed with ashes Of men
who lad been famous upon the earth.-
The third took the remaining vase Of clay
he opened. and found it empty. but in The
bottom the potter had written one of the
names Of God. (Which Of these three vases
weighs the most % demanded the King of
his court. The ambitions replied, the vase
of gold; the poets and conquerors, the vase
of amber; the ssges answered and said, the
empty vase, because that single letter in
the name of God weighed more than the
entire globe.

MoRE OF THE CoUNTERFEIrERs The
Stale Journal Of Friday evening says Of
|the gang Of eounterfeiters, whose arrest We
recently chronieled:-"Two more OF the
gang Of couhterfrilers were brought in this
morning, for trial before the Commissioners.
The prisoners we're engaged in keeping
tavern at FHchyille in Huron county, about
twelve miles from Norwalk. About $500
in ten dollar bills on The Farmers Bank Of
Orwell, Vermont, together with a cOnsid-
cradle quantity Of bogus quarter dollars,
were found in their possession. The trial
of the other prisoners charged with the
like offence, is still in progress, and the ex-
animation Of every witness brings toilighs
the most astounding facts in relation to the
frauds practieed by these men. The COM
biuaiion seems TO have been vide, embrac-
ing many men Of apparent good character
and Of fair standing in society. Nineteen in
all have been arrested, to wit: FIVE 10 Knox
county. seven in Cuyahoga, three in Rich
land, Two in Huron and two in Hardin
county. Warrants are out for others"
This is one Of the greatest hauIs of
rogues ever made in Ohio. The dsTelop-
uents at the examination show the ins;itu-
ton to have been very extensive oEe, and
embracing among its numbers many here
tofore respected men. The officers who
conducted these arrests deserve great credit
for their sagacity. courage and perseyer-
ence.- SGndnsky Register.

The telegraph brings the gratifying an

The First Steam ship that ever
crossed The Atlantic

crossed the Aalantics
England has long claimed to be Mistress
Of the Seas. In naval point of view this
is doubtless correct. But whilst the sons
Of Albion make this proud claim. they must
give to the sons of Columbia the honor Of
having conceived the design, and of ezecu-
ting the bold protector first crossing the
Atlantic BY steam power; here are the facts
to prove it:
The Steam Ship Savannah" was built
and owned by David Dodd, and was launch
ed at New York City on the 22d Of Au-
gust, A. D., 1878. Her engine was built
BY Thomas Vail. of SpeedweIl, She was
commanded by Capt. Rodgers, and made
two trips 10 Europe. the 6rst Of which was
commenced on the 25.h of Nay 1919
During these trips she visited Liverpool,
St. Petersburgh and Stockholm. The EN-
perOr Nicholas was on board and present
ed the Captain with a silver iea-kettle as
token of his qualification at the bold enter
prize ofcrossing the Atlantic BY steam !
and Barnadota, King Of Sweden, gave the
Captain valuable stone and muller from
like considerations She also visited Con-
stantinoPls and the Grand Seignor was on
board and also made rich presents to the
Captain. The Savannah was afterwards
sold and in attempting TO make trip 10
the South was wrecked of Long Island
Many tales are told of the natives who saw
her on her way from the capes and head
lands of the then Ships Road to Europe,
moving majestically forward through the
battling waves without rag of sal! set,
aud ofttimes in the face of wind and tide,
and they regarded her as a phantom ship,
and threw around her len thousand super
stitious. They looked upon her as selfpro-
PEELED, by the influence of his Satanic Maj
esty. the escaping steam and smoke being
to them evidence Of bis imperial origin; and
they dared not approach her least they
should be spell-bouDd and perish on the
briEy deep. J.
