. CoWHIDING.-The morality of the North must
be improving! They have introduced the cow
hide there for the settlement of difficulties This
distinguished mediator in personalities, made its
appearance in bingham, Mass. Mr. William Hum
phrey, President of the South Shore Railroad un-
derstood that Mr.. Alfred IIersey, ex-President Of
said road had made scandalous remark about
him viz. Mr. Humphrey having stumbled and
fallen in attempting to get out of the cars Mr. Her
Sey in very pointed language, attributed said STUN
bling and falling to the personal habits" of Mr.
Humphrey Every body knows what persona
habits" are and that the remotest ausion thereto
is 'tolerable and not to be borne" SO Dir Hum
phrey armed himself with cowhide and pistol and
proceeded at once to Mr.. Herscy, whom he con
fronted and of whom he demanded the retraction
of the scandalous allusion to personal habts"-
Mr. Hersey, like an obstinate man, would not re-
tract, and what is worse, upon the exhibition of
the instruments designed TO punish him for contuma
cousy persisting in the scandal aforesaid he
seized the cowhide from Mr.. Humphrey and ap,
piled it TO the person of that gentleman with great
vim. No body interfered Hurrah for bingham!

TILE nIORMONS.

Brigham Young delivered characteristic
address at the Tabernacle, Great Salt Lake
City, in February. We extract the closing
paragraph.
"The newspapers are teeming with statements
that | said President Pierce and all hell could
not remove me from Office | will tell you
what did say, and what now say; the Lord
reigns and rules in the armies Of the heavens,
and does his pleasure among the inhabitants of
the earth. He sets up kingdom here, and
pulls down another there, at His pleasure. He
walks in the midst of the people, and they know
it not He makes kings, presidents and gov
ernors at his pleasure; hence / conclude that /
shall be governor Of Utah territory just as long
as He wants me to be and for that time, neither
the President of the United States, nor any
other power can prevent it. Then, brethren
and sisters, be not worried about my being dis
missed from Office; for when the President APP
points another man to be governor of Utah
territory, you may acknowledge that the Lord
has done it, for we should acknowledge His
hand in all things"

Speech OF senator Mason.

The Hon. James M. Mason addressed the
Berkeley Democratic Association, and a large
number of the citizens of the town and county
at the Court House on Thursday night last.
The hour at which our paper goes to press pre-
vents us from attempting sketch of his speech,
in which he reviewed the history of parties in
this country, and the issues involved in the
present canvass of our own State. His speech
occupied nearly three hours. In argument it
was profound and convincing, and was received
with great applause. He traced Know-nothing-
ism to the Native American party, the last
hours of whose existence were marked by crime,
In the free States he showed that Know nothing
success had uniformly resulted in the election
OF abolitionists and that their principles APP
piled here would be a palpable violation of the
Constitution and Virginia Bill of Rights. The
consequences of such a state of affairs were
pictured in graphic colors, and it was evident
hada powerful influence upon every we'll dis
posed citizen within the sound of his voice.
The declaration of the Senator that he would
not hold his present position at the hands of
such a party was met with a thrilling response
OF approval. We regret that every man in the
county did not hear Mr.. Mason's able speech,
for which we tender him hearty thanks on be-
half of the Democracy Of Berkeley Martins
burg Republican.

The Kinney CoIoniuing Project.

Colonel Kinney and some of his associates
have been indicted by the Grand Jury upon
the charge of attempting to violate the neu-
trality laws. Of course we know nothing Of
the evidence upon which this action is founded,
except-as in all cases before Grand Juries-
that it is er pdrte. Whatever may be the
ColonePs Interior purposes in Nicaragua, with
the letter Of Mr. Marcy, which we published
the other day, to guide him, it seems scarcely
possible that the Colonel has been so impru.
dent as to subject himself Justly to the serious
charge preferred against him. The Indictment
apparently has been obtained by procurement
OF unofficial parties for 1T is to be presumed
that if the Government we're prepared to initi-
ate steps against Kinney's enterprise, the Dis
trict Attorney and U nited States Marshal would
not have awaited for the action by the Grand
Jury.
III this turns out to be true, an examination
will be likely to lead to their release from
custody, as they certainly cannot be held for
trial upon evidence deemed insufficient to war
rant action by the Federal officers. If. on the
other hand, Colonel Kinney, or any of those
associated with him, has stated that he de-
signs, with the aid of his colonists, to create
q political revolution in Nicaragua, at any
future time, no matter how distant or how
indefinitely stated that avowal-coupled with
the fact that there is necessarily an asso-
ciated interest among the emigrants who pro-
pose to go out there under the Coloners aus
pices-may be deemed to furnish sufficient
evidence Of military organization" to Justify
the holding Of the accused to answer. We are
by no means certain, however that this would
not be violent construction both Of the law
and the testimony-N !. Times Of Saturday.

THE MASSACHUSETTS, OUTRAGE
JUDGE LORING

The outrage commenced in the Massachu-
sets Assembly, has been consummated by the
Senate of that State. The address for the re-
moval of Judge Loring, which passed the first
body by so large a vote, has passed the Senate
by vote Of y to IL. 1t is said that the
speeches made on the subject were character
lied by venom and bitterness that have no
parallel in the annals Of that State There
was an outpouring Of Abolition rancor and
Know-nothing ferocity that amounted to de-
rangement.
The people of the South should attentively
Legislature, the occasion of this outrage, and
the outrage itself. We will present a brief
statement touching these points.
The Massachusetts Legislature, it will not
be denied, is Know-nothing Legislature 1t
will neither be denied that it is an Abolition
Legislature. So much for its composition.
The cause of its passing the address to the
Governor, asking the removal of Judge Loring,
was simply because Judge Loring, as United
States Commissioner, faithfully discharged his
duty in the rendition to slavery of the fugitive
Anthony Burhs-a Trginia slave.
A few remarks OH the outrage itself. 1t is
not only wrong to Judge Loring individually,
butt is a formal legislative approval of the Bos-
ton mob, Of the murder of Bachelor and of
the attempt to set aside the Constitution and
the Fugitive Slave law. 1t is a solemn decara-
ton by the Know nothing Legislature of Mas
sachusetts that no man shall hold office in that
State who does not place himself in an attitude
of hostility to the Constitution of the United
States, and to the people of the South.
Such are the claims Of the Know nothings of
Massachusetts on the sympathy, cooperation,
and support Of the Know-nothings of the South.
How any man in Virginia can remain in the
same organization with people who have thus
persecuted and attempted to degrade faithful
public functionary, for delivering up Jarginia
slave, to his Virginia master, is more than we
can understand.
The Boston Post thus expresses itself in re-
gard to the action Of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature
"Thus has fanatical and party malignity
done its work. The action Of the Legislature
is disgraceful to the State, and affords a prece-
dent which will return to.plague its inventors.
The great conservative principles, which have
so long distinguished the action of Massachu-
sets, are whistled down the wind, and misera-
BILE tricksters and hypocries o'ersway the gov
eminent Of the old Bay State"

lots of ground in beautiful new cemetery, on
the margin of his classic region, Sleepy Hollow.
He said he selected that spot where to repose
when life should terminate, in order that he
might be near the scene so linked with pleasant
memories during life. But we are forgetting a
crowd of delightful "reminiscences which Mr..
Irving recited, with such animated emotion and
pleasure; his NANNY happy interviews at Muir
rays with Jefreys, Moore, Campbell, Rogers,
and other lllustrious men Of their day. He
also spoke OF the generous liberalty Of Mr..
Murray in all his negotiations with him for the
publication of his several works. He frequently
met at Murray's, Sydney Smith, Lockhart, and
Scott. AS in the case of most authors, his
hrst literary essay was met with discouragng
omens. The first volume of the "Sketch-
Book" had been refused by publisher among
the leading members of the craft and it was at
length issued by Miller, of Fleet street, at the
risk of the author. The subsequent favor with
which it was received by the Literary Gazette,
and one or two other journals, soon arrested
public attention; but it was to the high com
mendation of it expressed by Scott, that its
rapid and eminent success was mainly attrlbu
ted. At the instance of this "golden hearted
man as he calls him, Murray at once became
Mr.. Irving's publisher. Miller having failed in
his business very soon after he had issued the
"Sketch-Book." 1t was delightful to hear him
narrate, in his own quaint manner, his loiter-
ings and reveries at the old venerable shrines
of Westminster Abbey, where, it is said, he was
once locked up by the verger all night-of his
literary friendships, with some antique biblio-
poles, whom he found living in the vicinity of
the cloisters of Westminster--of his fresh re-
collections Of the grand old cathedrals Of Milan,
Spain, England, and France-of the moss
grown ruins of Tintern and Melrose, and the
many other brilliant episodes in his liie-story.
His Compromised "Life Of Washington" is ex
pected to be his chef d'eurre, but certainly one
of the most delightful auto biographies conceiv-
able would be that of Washington Irving him
SELF Here must we close our rambling and
desultory recollections of day at Sunny Side;
but its sweet memories will often revisit us, as
we recur to the works of the great man residing
there in his happy exemption from the turmoils
Of life, or as Bryant has eloquently sung, amid
Those shades
Still the abodes of gadness, where The thick roof
OF green and stirring branches is alive,
And musical with BIRDS that sing and sport
In wanionnes- of spirit,
Even the green trees
Partake the deep contentment, as they bend
To the soft winds, the from the blue sky
Looks in and sheds blessing on the scene"

A CONSPIRACY I'm ST. DOMINGO.

Advices from ST. Domingo, to the eth inst,
announce the explosion of plot to overthrow
the Dominican government, with view to
Africanise the republic and place it under the
yoke of the Hayden Emperor The conspira-
tors, to the number Of about one hundred were
assembled in q certain house at midnight. A
body of soldiery surrounded it and fired vol
ley OF musketry into it; the inmates attempted
to make their escape from the windows and
doors, in doing which many captures were made,
and the parties are now in prison to answer for
their acts 1t is further said that several of
those who escaped took refuge at the British
Consulate, where they still continue to remain,
their surrender being refused President San
tana issued proclamation announcing to the
Dominican people what had transpired, and
quiet and order are again said to reign in the
country The English and French consuls, it
is alleged, instigated the conspiracy. One Of
the conspirators was Frenchman, whose re-
lease was demanded and obtained.

tary force engaged in the different wars has
