Brooks Monument.

The new monument 10 the memory of the
illustrious General Brock, on Queenstown
Heights, is now raised to about one hundred
and forty feet high, and the workmen are at
present busy with the fine corinthian shaft
This with the crowning en,abIature of the COL
umn, will probably be completed this fall !;
though the entire work will not be finished
before next summer. There will be but one
column in The world superior in height to
Brooks monument, and probably not one ex-
ceeding it in beauty and position. The ground
in the vicinity is covered with massive pieces
of work, stone statues of warriors, lions and
elaborately carved work, that are TO adorn the
cornce of the pedestal capital and entabla-
ture of the column. Among these stands a
feet in height, which will be placed at the top
of all. The figures are of the same kind of
stone which forms the monument, and are ex-
ecuted in bold and flowing style that will
give an aspect of much animation to the mon
ument. They reflect much credit, indeed, up
on the architect and workmen engaged. This
magnificent column will be an ornament to
the Province, and a fitting testimonial of a
people grateful to the memory of most be-
loved governor and victorious defender of Up
per Canada, and who gave his life for her Sc
curity. In comparing the monument now
constructing, with the old one, we almost
thank the Infamous Lett, for having been the
occasion of so noble work being erected on
the battle ground of Niagara

ILL CALL AROUND AND PAY.'-What a

easy matter TO work--ihe only real glory in

force there is in s1il call around and pays TO
the laboring man who depends upon that pay

only pay at once, it would place hundreds and

prevent much misery and distress. 9 ~

Norwood next comes in for share of our
notice. He commenced by speaking of that
provision of the Constitution which provides
for the establishment of a Board of Swamp
Land Commissioners, TO be elected by the pco-
pie. He argued that the legislature had viola
ted the Constitution, in that, the power was
given to the Governor to appoint these officers,
when the constitution had expressly fixed that
they should be elected by popular vote. He fur
Their showed the abuses which the State had
suffered from the mal-practices of the commits
sioners, and concluded with the deduction,
that this thing should be remcdied..
The remainder of his speech was taken up
with discovering many of the blunders COM
mtted by Mr.. Jones, several of which he hit
OFF in very happy and witty manner. Mr..
Norwood makes No pretensions to oratory and
processes to take only a, plain common sense
view of matters, in which he sustained himself
very well.
Our urbane friend, Mr. Haynes commenced
his speech with full blown panegyric upon
the past deeds of the old democratic party,
with all of which, after making the proper al-
lowanccs for oratorical painting, C) we agree,
most heartily; but when he thinks to appropri-
ate all of this glory to himself, and to his anti
Americans, we must join issue with him forth

we deny that he has right in his new posi-

Fusion BETWEEN THE HARDs AND AMERICANS
OF NEW YoRK.-lt is reported that the Hard
shell Democrats and the Native Americans of
the State of New York, have been carrying
on courtship for some time, and it is proba-
bic these two parties will unite upon one tick
ct to defeat if possible the combined hosts of
abolitionists and freesoilers The Hards, it is
known, is the only national wing of the de-
mocracy in the northern States. If this fusion
takes place, a ncucleus will thus be formed
around which all the national men of all par
ties may rally. Such a consummaion is enc
devoutly to be wished by every true friend of
the Union, and more particularly by every
Southern man. "Danl s. Dickinson was in
attendance at every meeting Of the delegates
at the Know Nothing Convention at Binehamp-
ton, and also at the speech of Chauncy c.
Burr-a ilardshcll Know Nothing speech
with which he expressed general assent to
the doctrines aud sentiments, and pronounced
them sound and democratic" But subsequent
intelligence render it probable that this good
move will prove an abortion, and the coalition
between these two national wings Will not be
formed.

DISTRESSING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-LaSt Sat
urday evening, as the train was returning to
this place from Port Hudson, the boiler of the
engine bursted with the most violent explosion;
killing our old friend A. Eggleston, the engi-
neer, instantly. His body was found at the
distance of some feet from the car, mangled in
the most horrible manner. His leg was bro
ken Just above the ankle, and blown almost en-
tirely off; his arm was broken in two places.
his left side was sca'ded in the most shocking
manner, and his head was literally broken to
pieces. The report Of the explosion, SO vio-
lent was it, was heard several miles distant,
and large pieces of the boiler-one of them,
nearly mile from the engine 1t is not pro-
bable that the deceased breathcd after the
stroke was given. A negro, the fireman, was
on the engine at the time, but escaped with
being somewhat scalded, and is out of danger.
The remains of Eggeston were brought
to town on Saturday evening, and were in
tered on the next day at o'clock. The flu
neral was largely attended, and all seemed
anxious to pay the last tribute Of respect to
one, who in life had been so universally pop
ular.
A. Eggleston was native of Vermont, and
has lived in our town some two or three years.
He was man of unexceptionablc moral char
acter, gentlemanly and social in all his inter-
course with his fellow men, and perhaps had
not an enemy in the whole circle of his ac
quaintance He was just such man as one
likes to know.
Cut off in the prime of life, his loss is a
great calamity to the community in which he
had fixed his adopted home, one too which is
severely felt and will not be easily repaired
He leaves young and interesting wife to

Mr.. Jones completed his story in about three
quarters of an hour, and took his seat. We
give him such an extended notice 0or which
we know he will feel obliged to us,) because
he is new man, and occupies that kind of
position before the people in which he seeks
notoriety, which we are perfectly willing to
confer upon him as far as in us lies.
We must add in conclusion, respecting Mr..
Jones, that he was too much busted with
things and topics of discussion outside of the
political issues of the day to notice the princi-
pies of Native Americanism, not one of which
he deigned to touch. Had he condescended to
have done so, however, we are convinced he
would have touched it off ina bold and graph
ic manner Were We to undertake to report
the arguments he advanced, for or against any
thing, it might be appropriately done thus: -

Just as we Expected.

Mrs. Sarah Young, one Of the wives Of Brig
ham Young, in Utah territory, and Miss Eliza
Williams, are about TO travel The United States,
on a lecturing expedition against Mormonism.-
We supposed that opposition to Mormonistr
would be specnlating scheme in the hands Of
some lecturer or~strong minded woman, before
long, and the announcement by these two wo-
men of their intentions, proves our conclusions
right. Mormonism at first, was, and is still, a
vile hoax by which snple-mindrd people are
led 10 the adoption OF system at variance with
every principle OF christianity and social order.
II was designed TO enrich some at the expense
of the credulous, and thus far has worked admI
rably.
What, however, strikes us as exceedingly
strange, IS that Mrs Sarah Young shonld live
50 long with Brigham Young, and not find out
the iniquity of the whole system. We think
she was a long time coming TO her senses, that
is if she had any desire at all to know the OBJ
ject and intentions of the leaders OF the Nor
mons. 1t is either so, or being a strong-minded
woman, fancirs by running off from her leige
lord, and coming to the States, she can, by pat
terning after Lucy Stone and the Rev. Antol-
nette Brown, amaSs fortune. The latter con-
cusion, we are inclined to think, Is the rnline
one. ii is only within the last year that Nor
monsm is beginning to be discussed, and as it
will likely be exciting topic, in which all
various congregations Of Christians will take
deep interest, Mrs. Young no doubt surposeS
that by rcturing, and thus toinistering 10 the
excitement Of thu people, she can make herself
comfortable for the balance OF her life.
