The young girl looked down, but made no

This was about fortnight after Caesar
Riyolet had taken bunch of yiolets from
Rose. Every day since then he had contrived
to meet her or her way from the gardeners
He always sought to speak to her, but she trip
ped along with out giving him an opportunity.
Every evening, however, when her mother
was away, Rose used to open the blinds to see
if the sentinel was on his post
He was always ON duty. He showed her
bunch of violeis, which he used to kiss, with
out, however, saying word Rose used to
shut the blinds silently, but then she always
took out the looking glass Immediately after
wards On such occasions she was always
pale, and a tear ofremorse would steal into
her eye. She would then sit down by Lili's
cradle, with dpooping brow, and heayin q
breast, and relaxed limbs, for whole hours un-
til the return of her mother
One evening Rose heard the signal at the
blind much earlier than usual. She however

She only remembered single word of all that
Caesar had said-that word was lore, and it
continued to ring in her ears. When she
reached her mothers house, a poor hovel of
one room, with gray walls outside, and white
within, containing bed cradle and three
chairs, and framed engraving above the fire
place, she had not recovered from her agita-
ton.

more fortunate than l was yesterday. The
audience will be large, and / shall probably

no one else in viii tap on the blind "
The mother kissed Rose, who was rocking
Lii, and left.
The woman was the widow of workman.
Her husband had fallen from the tower of a
church about a year before, (just three months
before Lili's birth) To support her children,
whom she loved dearly, as dying man loves
his life, she sold papers in the morning, fruits
in the afternoon, and flowers at night. Rose
never accompanied her, for some one had to
stay with Lii.
This was pretext The mother was pru-
dent, and uneasy on account of her daughters s
beauty.
When she was alone, Rose shut the blinds.
and took from beneath heap of withered
flowers piece of broken glass. This was the
accomplice of her innocent coquetries. Her
mothers was much larger and fastened to the
wall
Rose approached the glass la 1p which shed
its light as spsriu.;s as the mlser yields his
gold, and looked a. - face in the fragment
of glass For the twentieth time she looked
at the little dimple on her chin-its appear
ance gave her as much delight as the discov-
cry of America did Columbus. Suddenly,
however, she looked anxiously around She
fancied she heard light tap on the window
She replaced the gless, opened the door and
looked into the street The sky was blue, and
a kind of profile was visible not far from the
house. The profile seemed to move towards
her; she became alarmed and shut the door,
q It is strange" said she. = There cannot
be a sentinel here; besides the man has no
gum
Sentinel, or not, the soldier, though with
ont his gun, kept watch over the house all
night. or at least till the mother tapped at the
blinds.

UNION DIssoLUTIoNIsTs. The old
line press is giving circulation to what they
say is the oath taken by reputed society
called the third degree Of Know Nothing
ism. If these allegations and oath arc
correct, the object Of the Society appears
to be to bind the people of this country
more closely for the preservation of the
Union. AS the pro-slavery party North
and South denounce such a Society and
oath, we are led to the inference, that that
party, now so exalted at the election of
Henry A. Wise, as Governor of Virginia,
must desire q dissolution of the American
Union. Verify we have fallen upon evil
times, when the party, Of which the Pres
ident of the United States is head, favors
a dissolution of the Union, and denouuCes
the friends of the Union. ... 80

The Mormons and Indians,

We have later intelligence from Great

prevailed. This is good news for the five
hundred and seventy-eight MormonS who
arrived at New York on Friday from Liv-
e.pool in the ship s. Curling, all bound for
the settlements of the Latter Day Saints,
and all in good health and Every clean,"
as is reported. But these emigrants would
do well, setting out on their tedious over
land journey for the paradise of the Nor
mons, to make themselves acquainted with
the actual condition of affairs in Utah. 1t
is regarded as indisputable that the Nor
mons connived at, if they did not actually
aid and abet in the massacre of Captain
Gunnison and party by the Indians. The
government has arrived at this conclusion
from review Of the facts connected with
the trial of the murderers, and it has de.
termined, it is said, to PROSTATE the power
of Brigham Young, and bring matters to
an issue The result can be easily predic.
ted, ind the newly arrived emigrants may
take warning. The age Of martyrs, like
the age of chivalry, ispast. '' ..' ID"
Accounts from the plains, received thro'
various channels, agree that the Indian
tribes are assuming a very hostile attitude
against the whites. 1t is reported, how
ever, that the savages seem inclined to act
on the defensive, although the prepara
tions made are Of such Formidable charac
ter as to leave no doubt but that the indis
criminate slaughter of the whites will oc
cur at the first favorable opportunity. y

Board Of Public Works.--A. L. Frazier

The name Of our friend Abner L. Fra
zier, receives favorable mention in connec-
ton with the Board of Public Works
The following we'll merited notice, we find
in the last Portage County Democrat:
"BoARD OF PUBLIC WoRKs.-In con-
nection with this office we notice the name
of Abner L. Frazier, Esq, of Steuben-
vile, Mr.. F. has been for many years
engaged as Civil Engineer on various Ca
nails and rail roads in this State; aud has
justly acquired high reputation for skill
in his profession, and for his unbending
integrity as a man. While he is thus en-
inently qualified for the management of
the public Improvements which belong to
the State, he is known as thorough re-
former, Of sound political principles, but
who has never sought office. In him the
friends Of Liberty and Temperance, and
the opponents of ecclesiastical and foreign
domination have always found an efficient
co-worker. Mr. Frazier's nomination would
secure many friends to the Republican
ticket, particularly in that part of the
State where he resides, locality which
ought to be we'll represented in making up
the ticket
Upon "the day of election" it will be
found that Mr.. Frazier's nomination will
secure to his ticket those "votes" of which
the Ohio State Journal speaks in the fol-
lowing notice:-
"Many of our friends in the eastern por-
tion of the State desire to present the
name of ABNER L. FRAZER of Steuben-
vile, as a candidate for the Board of Pub
lie Works. He is gentleman of charac-
ter and practical experience as an Engi-
neer. The east part of the State is enti-
tied to consideration as it has votes and in
fuence in the day of election"

MASSACHUSETTS PERSONAL LIBERTY
BILL.-The following is synopsis of the
Personal Liberty Bill, passed by the Mass
achusetts Legislature at its late session, to
protect the citizens Of that gallant old
commonwealth from the brutal invasions
of the unconstitutional Fugitive Law.
Every free State should pass similar law
ItprOyides that "no justice of the peace,
sheriff, constable or jailor shall arrest OIL
detain or aid in arrestihg or detaining, any
person for the reason that he is detained
as fugitive slave, under the penalty O.
imprisonment and fine. Also that thu
writ of habeds corpus may be issued BY
oil courts Of record, judges of probate
and in some cases justices of the peace
and, instead Of the proceedings authorized
by the act of 1850, substitutes trial b,
jury, and that no confessions, admissions
or declarations Of the alleged fugitive agains
himself, shall be given in evidence, an,
that the jury shall have the right to returl
a general verdict. It also depriyes an,
Attorney of Massachusetts, who shall ac
for slave claimant Of the right to prac
tice in the Massachusetts courts oflaw."

was accompanied with heavy hail, which
did considerable domage. The pathway Of
the tornado, as it might be called, was for
tunately very narrow, and was mostly to
the East Of the city.-Dr. Watts reports
that about one half Of his wheat was des-
troyed by tho hail, while the fruit was strip
ped from the trees. The Doctor brought
up mass of kail stones from one Of his
wheat fields, this morning, as large as
mans fist. Such masses were abundant
over the field. Considering that it had
fallen about nine hours before, it must

The PrO.slavery PARTY established.


When the fact was fully established in
Washington City that Henry A. Wise was
elected Governor of Virginia over Mr.,
FlournOy it is reported as Court gossip,
that the President reioiced, the Cabinet
ministers jOincdil neralcOngratulatious,
and the whole train of ofice-holders breath
ID easy and free. Aud it is no wonder
Gen. Pierce, with his so-called Democrat
ic administration and supporters, having
taken upon, them to extend Che area Of
Slavery over our free territories, has, du-
ring the past year been most severely re-
buked by the freemen of the North. Hay-
ing been in great fear lest he should also
be repudiated by his quandum friends in
the South, it is little wonder that the ad-
ministration rejoices even when Virginia
is saved to them by the skin of their teeth.
Such being the feeling at the head we find
that in unison of pulsation, the head or
gan at Washington, and all the little Or
gans throughout tho country, grind cheer.
full music to the triumph Of Slavery. Thus
is it that the national administration binds
its party North and South to the perpetual
ton of Slavery; and in quiet obediance
the little leaders chime in. So is, it that
the administration democratic party, be-
comes permanently the pro-slavery party.
Will the freemen of tho North tolerate
such party, and allow themselves to be
led willing vassals to the nabob of Slave
ry? What say you old fellow Democrats? !?
Slavery or Anti-Slavery is now the ques-
ton. Take heed how you choose. Be-
ware that the administration triumph in
Virginia, does not bind all true Democrats
in the North to the perpetuation and ex-
tension of Slavery. . ....

Virginia Election.

The returns show that Wise has been
elected Governor of Virginia, by major
ity of some s or 10000. Although this
result was rather unexpected by many,
vet there can be no doubt whatever, but
that it was brought about by the position
assumed by tine American party in the
North, upon the question Of Slavery. AL
though it was claimed by some of the Vir-
ginia papers, that supported Flournoy that
the Order was Pro-Slavery in its tendency,
or at least that the members thereof stood
upon neutral ground, yet, it is futile in
the extreme, to attempt to prove the cor
rectness of these assertions. No man pre-
tending to possess ordinary sagacity, will
say that political party, organized on the
basis Of neutrality upon the question of
the extension of Slavery, can ever flourish
as the American Party has done, in the
North, under the state Of feeling that at
this time exists here towards this glaring
evil that has of late, been making steady
encroachments upon the rights Of the
Northern States, and upon soil that should
have been protected forever from its bane-
full effects.
The acts of the American party, ever
since its first organization, have been such
as Indignantly refute the charge of either,
favoring the "peculiar institutions" of the
South, or of standing in neutaal position
in respect to the great question of human
liberty. The strong Free Soil resolutions
of the Americans in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, as well as the aid they lent
in defeating the friends of Douglas "pet
bilp in Ohio, alarmed the Virgihians,
and they dropped back into the arms of the
party, whose former acts had proved them
the, tried friends of the South, in every
struggle in which the extension of Slave
~ was concerned. Notwithstanding all
the cries Of the "fogy press" about the
non-cOmmittalism of the new party, moth
ing can be more absurd than their asser-
tons, which are without shadow of proof
to sustain them. They well know that
their only hope Of salvation depends upon
their ability to create division in the
camp of the friends of freedom. To ac-
complish this end, they are prepared to
adopt any means that promise to be sue
sessful; and no charges,are too absurd for
them 20 make. But we hope, that none
Of the old Free Soilers will be induced by
their Misrepresentation, to leave the only
party by whose help they may be enabled
to defeat those men, whose every act has
shown them to be utterly regardless of the
will of their constituents, in their blind
devotion to the South. m Na...s... r

BAD Workmanship.

~ WOulu really seem as II Monarchs

dom brought down BY the class'of men
who hunt that kind Of game. Louis Ma
poleon, who, after long run Of bad luck,
turned over q better leafih Fpte's volume,
when he escaped from Ham, is certainly
the pet of some potent spirit, or he must
have been ssWiped OUT by Pianori's pis-
tolls on the, Champs Eysee, How thelub-
berly Italian could miss his Majesty at 6
PAGES, especially when he had the Croupe
of the equerrys horse for rest, is truly
marvellous. OF course the French clergy
attribute the Emperor's. safety to divine
interposition, and as there is providence
that shapes our onds,' tits. possible that
the Imperial accident may be reserved for
an exit more beneftting his desert than by
pistol shot. Somehow or other, fellows
who undertake to kill kings almost always
bungle. Ravaillac, it is true, made sure
work with Henry ~; but then he did
not, trust to gunpowder. Since his time,
there have scarcely been half-a-dozen sue
cessful attempts ct regicide. Peg Nichol-
son made complete judy of herself, when
she attempted to give his imbecile Males
ty George I'LL the coup dc grace; the
scheme to blow up the Napoleon failed
Fieschs fired a whole battery of gun-bar-
rels at Louis Philippe, without harming a
hair of his toupee the attempt to knife
Franz Joseph of Austria, resulted in a
mere flesh wound; Queen Victoria has
been twice Intellectually shot at, to say
nothing ofthe late ATTEMPT to give her ma
jesty and Prince Albert railroad sumer-
sault; and now the "Nephew of his Un-
Gle" has been made target of in vain.
If the assassin was an emissary of the
Red Republicans, we can only say they
showed very little Judgment in their selec-
ton of an instrument For mission so
important, man capable of splitting bull
let on a knife blade, at ten PAGES, should
have been employed. Pianori will pr0ba-
bly, be gullotined; and in fact, fellow
who could twice miss usurper on horse
back, at a distance Of fifteen feet, is worth
just as much, dead as alive, for rcgicidal
purposes. Whether the Emperor will think
it worth while to go to the Crimea, after
acquiring so much eclat as the Great Un-
hurt, may be considered doubtful. In the
mcantirr !, however, he carries on the siege
of Sebastopol, on small scale at heme.-
The telegraph wires from Balaklava termi-
nate in chamber in the Tuileries, and in
!
that chamber is plan of the besieged city
and forts, together with circumjacent works
of the Allies. Every movement Of the
troops is reported through the wires; and
the Emperor is kept constantly posted in
relation to the progress of the siege. Un-
der these circumstances, we cannot see any
reason why his Majesty should risk his
precious life in the Crimea, where there
are better marksmen than the tyro of the
Champs Elysee. 1t would BE-. quite a
pleasant amusement to sit in the Tuilerries
and give the word by telegraph for a gen
eral assault.-N Y Leader.
