SAMUEL BRADY AND CORNPLANTER
LEGEND OF THE ALLEGHANY RIVER.

ALEGEND OF THE ALLEGHANY RIVER.
Many Of the wild legends Of border strife
and Indian barbsrity ,hs, have been enacted
along the shores Of the Allegheny and Ohio
have never been rescued from the dim and
fading remembrsnces Of a past age. Bul
occasionally a story Of ,hrilIing in.eres. is
sns,ched from the lingering records Of the
red man.
The story lam about to relate, ] receiv-
ed from an old Indian pilo. of the AIlegha-
ny. It was many years ago, when Iha. stern
repose in silence and loneliness on the banks
Of ,hst beau.eous river he loved so we'll
was in his glory. His tribe rosmed over
the dense and unbroken forests along ils
banks, fearless, unmoles.ed and free.
His people were hostile 10 the whites, end
never lost any opportunity to lie in ambush
and seize the lonely vov sger as he descen-
ded the river, and consign him 10 the stake
and the torture. But the wa,chful, shrewd
and deadly foe Of Cornplan!er, and the hole
",swny Iace," was the indomitable end fear
less Capt. Samuel Brady. This veteran pi-
oneer and Indian hunter was one of those
noble specimens Of the hardy fores,ers who
plunged fearlsssly into The in.erminabIe for
ests that then overspresd SO large portion
of the Western States. , =. i
Like Dsniel. Boon, Louis We,zel, Simon
Ken.on and others who made Indian hun,-
ing a pas,ime, his deadly hate Of The Indian,
and his burning passion for hunting them
down, amounted to- q monomsnia. This
hatred was in consequence Of the wrongs
they had inflicted on his fsmiIy-his father,
Capt. John Brady, and his bro her having

ARCTIC DOVE.

AhC DOf l..
Ride on-the ark majestic and alone
On the wide waste Of the careering deep,
Its hull scarce peerng through the night of clouds
Is seen. But 10! the mighty deep has shrunk,
The ark from its terrific voyage, rests
On Ararat. The raven is sent forth
Send out the Dove, and as her wings far off
Shine in the light, that sreaks the severing clouds
Bids her speed on, and greets her with song
Go beautiful and gentle dove,
But whittier wilt thou go?
For though the clouds ride high above,
How sad and waste is all below.
The wife of Shem, moment to her breast
Held the poor bird, and kissed it. Many night
When she was listening to the hollow wind,
She pressed it to her bosom with tear,
Or when it murmured in her hand forgot
The long loud tumut of the storm without,
She kisses It, and at her fathers word,
Bids it 60 forth.
The dove flies on. In lonely flight
She flies from dawn till dark;
And now amid the gloom of night,
Comes weary to the ark.
Oh! let me in, she seems to say,
For long and lone hath been my way,
Oh! once more, gentle mistress. let me rest
And dry my dripping plumage on thy breast.
So the bird flew to her who cherished it.
She sent it forth again out ofthe ark;
Again it came at evening fall and 10!
An oliveleaf plucked of. and in its bill.
AND Snem'S Vile TOOK the green lea from ltS Dill,
And kissed: its wings again. and smilingly
Dropped on its neck one silent tear for joy
She sent it forth more; and watched its flight,
Till it was lost amid the clouds of heaven;
Then gazing on the clouds where it was lost,
Its mournful mistress sung this last farewell
Go beautiful and gentle dove,
And greet the morning ray,
For 10 the sun shines bright above,
And night and storm are passed away.
No longer dropping, here confined,
s.sse- In this1cold prisondwel!,
Go free to sunshine and to wind,
Sweet bird, go forth and fare-thee-well -
Oh! beautiful and gentle dove,
Thy welcome sad will be,
When thou shalt hear no voice of love,
In murmurs from the leafy tree;
Yet freedom, freedom shalt thou find
From this cold prisons cell,
Go then, to sunshine and the wind,
Sweet bird go forth-and fare theewell,

The OVERLAND MAIL TO THE PAcIFIc,-A
misapprehension exists in the public mind on
this subject, arising rom Col. Benton's letter,
lately appearing in the newspapers The
route has merely been made mail route
No direction has been given by Congress to es-
tablish service upon it. It's the custom ofshe
Department to ADVERT for service on all new
routes, and to let them. il, in the judgment Of
the Postmaster General. the lowest bid is not
too high. That is, If it's not so high as to ex-
ceed the probable benefit to accrue TO the pub.
lie interest from running the mails over the par
tcular route. Our hope is that in this case il
may turn out that par ties will perform the ser.
vice at rate which the Postmaster General
will feel at liberty to pay; inasmach as we be.
leve that service upon that route will speed

THE LATK EmcrIcss.-The political cam.
paian Of 1855 opened With the memorable con
test in de old Granite State, the resolnte. anI

emens appeared 70 be in favor Of is remaining
an sdmfoisuation State. All the influence Of
the General Government Nas brought to bear

the fraudulent and outrageous set OF repeating
the Missouri Compromise, AID The indentily Of
tbe AdminIslFahon wish lhis eel, parslyEed 81
the efforts Of is friends. New Hampshire
swung from Ice old moorings. and took position
in the ranks Of states which have not forgotten
that there isa North. The defeat OF the Ne
braska, prO.slavery Democracy was total and
terrible. Everything was lost to them. Gov.
ernor. both branches OF The Legislature. all The
members Of Congress, and two Uniled States
Senators. were thus secured to the opposition.
Since this blUw, upon the slready reeling
and inc mpetent administration, elections have
taken place 10 Connecticut and Rhode Island
Both Of these States cut loose from the admin
istration year ago. aud elected opposition
Legislatures. There was faint hope that the
tide, having left the Slave DemOc acy without
a single free State, would now return and they
would again be greeted with their old familiar
shout OF victory. But this privilege is not yet
vouchsafed them. The fruits ofthe vile barter
between the pFOslavery interests Of the South,
and The traliicing. unprincipled men Of the
North. who sold themselves for price, are yet
too palpabIe to be overlooked OF forgotten.
Connecticut sends an undivided anti Nebras-
ka, anti administration delegation TO Congress.

Rhode Island has also spoken, and in no un-
certain tone. Like Connecticut it took ground
against the Nebraska swindle in the spring of
1854, and like Connecticut,it has confirmed that
record by a similar verdict in 1855 There is
scarcely asemblanee of pro-SlavAry DemOcFcy

The Governor, both branches Of The Legislature,

people everywhere confirms the acts and the

follows
SEcr1oN I, No court created by the author
itv of this STATE, however extended its jurlsdic-
ton, or By whatever name designated, nor any
functionaiy pertaining to said Court, shall here
after, hold or execute any Jurisdiction in the
administration of the laws of Congress com

shall said Court take cognizance of any
application of any alien to be admitted
| to become citizen TO make any record or
grant, or issue anv certificate or other docu
ment or paper, whereby any alien shall be nat
urali2ed or made citizen OF the United States;
provided that all cases where application has
already been made and filed in any Court, shall

proved March T7th. 1855.
ANSoN P MORRILL,,
From the above act it would seem that the
State Of Maine is disposed to confue the exer-
else of the power of naturalization where the
Constitution has placed it, to wit; the Courts of
Il the United Stetes. Il is protidtd that Con-
| gress may establish uniform rule OF natural
izatiol;' but it is not provided that the State
may do so, nor may Congress require the State
Coarts to act under Jaw of Congress Nat
lralizatiou can properly only be granted by
1.-THE Federal power. a;ting through its owr
accountable agents. This is new doctrine
Maine is declining the exercise of pOwel
which does not of right belong to her.
j. The New York Tribune calls this a bad kline
Of legislation on the part Of Maine, an abdica
tion Of the proper functions of the State in re
gard to most important subject, the right o
voting Has not the Tribune mistaken th'
question Naturalization does not confer th
Unqualified power of voting. The State ma
impose conditions in spite Of naturalization, ,ant
may confer the right without naturalization, a
more than one of the States have already done
4 When shall it be conceded that naturalization
confers the unqualified right Of suffrage ia vev
of the constitutional provision confering OF
Congress the sole power of regulating natural
ization, it will be time to raise the question o
