reserves were on their way TO the Crmea from
the interior Of Russia, the object being to oc-
cupy in force all the strong positions between
Khutor-Mackenzie and lnkerman, with reserv-

the Russians would have us believe their Cr-

Without being curiously anxious as to the
future movements, there can be no doubt that
the Russians are bent upon trying their for
tune in second winter campaign. "Mean-
WHILE" it is added, "the transport Of ammu-
milton, provisions and stores, is being driven
on with all possible despatch. The utmost
activity prevails in all the military and other
establishments, and at NicolaieA, where the
Car is at this time present in person, they

A letter from st. Petersburg, in the Wand
erer of Vienna, says: The evening before the
departure of the Emperor council was held
at which it was determined to carry on the
war with the greatest determination; and the
Emperor directed Connt Nesselrode to an
nounce this intention to the political agents
of Russia in foreign countries.

can color too highly the magnitude Of this
question. Its simple statement--Shall those
vast and beautiful, regions be occupied, culti-
vatcd, adorned by the willing arm of free la
Dor, or shall they be given up to the African
and the lash--passes all power Of exaggera-
ton.
Nor i, it in the territories alone Of the
United States, that the South is seeking to
drive on its encroachments. Let the decision
of Judge Kane, Of Pennsylvania, be sustained
and if Slavery is re-established in that State,
it certainly will not be denied that the domas-
tic Slavc-trade may be carried on through it
with perfect impunity and safety;-a protec-
ton not shared by its free white citizens,
who by the Same decision may, by mon
strous perversion of legal proceeding, hith-
erto deemed one of the palladiums Of our
liberty, be imprisoned for an indefinite term,
without trial by jury, and on the mere order
Of a Judge.
Holding these views, in the statement OF
which have occupied much greater space
than intended, it is unnecessary for me to
add, that cannot follow the leadership Of
such men as Pierce, Douglass and Seymour,
but have no fears that the honest and pat
riotic impulses of the great mass the North
ern Democracy viii bring them to any other
conclusions than those at which, have arrived
and separate me from them, or that when the
time comes they will fail SO to exercise the
elective franchise as to give force and effect
to their convictions.
Very respectfully yours,

Drock,s Monument.

The new monument TO the memory of the
illustrious General Brook, on Queenston
Heights, is now raised to about l40 feet high
and the workmen are at present busy with
the fine Corianthan shaft. This with the
crowning entablature of the column, will pro-
badly be complete this fall; though the en-
tire work will not be finished before next sum-
mer. There will be but one column in the
world superior in height TO Brooks monu-
ment, and probably not one exceeding it in
beauty and position. The ground in the
neighborhood of the column is covered with
massive pieces of work. some statutes of war
riors, lions and elaborately carved work, they
are to adorn the cornice of the pedestal capital
and cntablature of the column; among these
stands colossal statue of General Brook,
seventeen feet in height which will be placed
on the top of all. These figures are cut out
of the same kind of stone which forms the
monument and arc executed in bold and
flowing style, that will give an aspect ofmuch
animation to the monument. They reflect
much credit indeed, upon tho architect and
workmcn engaged.
This magnificent column will be an orna-
ment to the Province and fitting testimonial
of people grateful to the menor Of the most
beloved Governor and victorious DEFENDER Of
Upper Canada, and who gave his life for her
security. In comparing the monument now
constructing with the old one, we could al
most thank the Infamous Lett, for having
been the occasion Of SO noble work being
erected on the battle ground at Queenston.

WHAT ARE THE SOUND DUEs.-As these
dues may probably give rise to a serious dis
pute between the United States and Denmark,
it will be interesting to know what they arc
are. The Sound is a narrow strait lying be-
tween the Island of Zctland, belonging to the
Danes, and the Swedish coast, and gives en-
trance to the Baltic SEA. The fortress OF
Cronburg Castle commands the passage, and
exacts payment from all vessels entering the
Baltic; the ships of Denmark herself have to
pay, as well as foreign tonnage.
England, France, Holland and Sweden
pay duty Of one per cent on every cargo en-
tcring the Baltic. Other countries, including
the Unitod States, pay one and quarter per
cent; even Danish ships are taxed at this rate.
In the year 1926 treaty recognizing this
duty was concluded between the United
States and Denmark. This treaty, however,
according TO one of its stipulations, may be
dissolved by either of the parties, provided
they give one years notice of their intention.
This notice has been given by the United
States, and hence the dispute.

Ono AND KENrUcKY.-Capt. Ford, ina
recent speech at Cincinnati, compared tho
states of Ohio and Kentucky. He said:
"That while Kentucky was settled by the
first families of Virginia. Ohio was settled by
the refuse of all the States. The Carolinfaii
came with his flea-bitten, old, gray horse,
and when the horse died, took the bride and
went back, fully persuaded that the spirit of
the old horse was down in Carolina. The
sand-hillers Of Virginia came, (the first FAM
lies had to stay at home TO take care of the
niggers,) with an old wagon that hadn't iron
enough about it TO make a tenpenny nail, and
no tire to its wheels, "for old Virginia never
tires" The singing master from Connecticut
came, with his singing book and birdie, in
ding, if he couldn't get singing school to
teach, TO steal a horse and goback. (Shout-
ing and laugh,cr) Yet we have civilized this
motley crew, and il has become the present
population of our noble State. Compare our
progress with Kentucky, settled by tho best
blool of Virginia, and know that all this Is
the result Of human freedom" prolonged

A Husba nds P0'itress,

How seldom do we meet with people, uni
ted by the intimate relations Of husband and
wife, brother and sister, parent and child who
are habitually courteous-that is to say, un-
selfish towards each Most unusual tbs to
meet husband and wife whose manner to-
wards each other is at all what it ought to be.
All the fornality assumed in company does
not veil the disrcpectful, almost contemptu-
Gus, familiarity Of more private life. We
have seen many men who would throw away
cigars at the approach OF strange lady, but
who would never hesitate one moment TO
make their wifs's sitting room smell lik. a
bar room, and though we should think that
a bally arranged home, whore no arrange
ments are made to keep peoples indulgences
from troubling each other, and her bad wife
who allowed no place for cigar smoking, still
we do not consider that he acts with true
gentlemanly spirit towards his wife who will
give the whole house stale smell Of tobacco
rather than walk ten steps, even if his wife
be 50 truly lady, and acts in so genuine {
spirit Of self sacrifice that she does not let i
be seen that she is sacrificing.

From the Rochester Daily Democrat.
An Important Letter from Hon. James =.
Wadsworth.

We find in the Geneseo Democrat of ycster-
day morning the following correspondence. 1t
was called out by the positive assertions of
the Pierce and Know-Nothing presses that
Mr.. WApswoRrH not only never consented to
be delegate to the Republican Convention,
but that he utterly repudiated all sympathy
with the movement. No contradiction has
been made by the Republican press, because
it was believed that Mr.. W. would prefer to
speak for himself. He has done so, but has
deemed it his duty, as il is the duty of every
patriotic citizen, to utter words of warning in
reference to the alarming strides OF the Slave
Power on this continent.
Mr.. WADswoRTH's Letter, though brief,
is one Of the most powerful documents recent
ly given 10 the public. We commend il 70

JAMES s WADswoRru, ESQ,
DEAR Sm:-At Convention held in Gen
eseo on the Goth ult., over which had the
honor to preside, you were appointed one Of
the Delegates from this county to the Repub-
lcan State Convention. l see it stated in
the newspapers that you did not attend the
State Convention; and it is charged that you
do not sympathise with or approve of the
movement now making in this State to con-
centrate the votes of those who are opposed
to the Kansas N ebraska act, and TO the fur
ther extension of Slavery, upon single ticket
and that your appointment was trick to de-
ceive the public.
Knowing that your opinions upon the im-
portant questions involved in the approaching
election (whatever they may be) are unbiased
by personal ambition or by any desire for
political preference, and that you have al
ways dsapproved of the passage Of the Kan
sas-Nebraska act, am induced to ask how
far the use of your name, in the manner re-
ferred to, was authorized by you'
An answer is desired at your earliest con-
veniencc, in order that any erroneous impress
ions that may have gone abroad may be cor
rected.
