SuIcDr.-Mrs. Kinesland, the wife Of
James kingslaud, a resident Of the PremisesOf
John d. Smith, Of Panton, committed suicide
by cutting her throat with a razor, on Saiur-
day morning last. She had been partially de-
ranged for several months, and apprehendiug
some danger of such a result her friends had
carefully watched her, keeping razor's and
other dangerous instruments as much as posi-.
bly, beyond her reach. With the peculiar cum
ming Of the insane, however, she managed to
procure the weapon in an ungarded moment,
and when discovered had SO far accomplished
her object as to be past recovery, the main ar
teries Of the neck being entirely severed. An
hereditary faint of insanity is said TO have been
transmitted from the grandparents Of the de-
ceased. She leaves a family of six children,
some of them adults in age, to mourn the dis
tressing calamity which has befallen them

uTAH.-The Mormons are enjoying the re-
petition of the ancient Jewish miracle Of mama
from heaven, as they think. The Deseret News
gives an account of a substance found on the
leaves of trees and on the rocks, in scales some
times as thick as common window glass, and VI
very pleasant sweet taste. By boiling aud
siralning it an excellent sugar is obtained. 1t
was at first supposedio exude from the leaves Of
the cotton wood, but being found on all subslan-
ces alike, the natural inference Of the Mormons
was, that it fell from heaven, as a miraculous
lnterposition, to supply the deficiency of the
crops, Notwithstanding the ravages of the
grasshopers the crops are in many places quite
good and there will be by no means such scar
city as was at one time apprehended. Salt is
gathered in immense quantities from small lakes
which when the water is high, connec. with
great Salt Lake, bu, after the water has reced-
ed the salt remains on the ground from three to
six inches thick, clean, white and coarse.

LOST THEIR

Time was when party names indicated GER
tain principles. That time no longer exists.
Twenty years ago-a Democrat meant a man
who opposed a national bank and higher tariff.
AT that time a wing was the very opposite Of
the Demociat,-and meant a person who be-
lieved that a High Tariff and a National Bank
were the only institutions that could possibly
keep the Republic from the alms-house. This
is the case no longer. With the exception of
Greeley, there is scarcely a Wing Editor in the
country who has any faith whatever in a High
Tariff, while the idea of a National Bank is SO
obsolete that We should as soon expect TO see a
revival Of stage coaches and corduroy turnpikes,
as a motion to %revivify a regulator Of the cur
rency.' The old land marks having been de-
stroyed-new platforms must be constructed in
order that people can take sides. Within the
past two years, new issues have come to the
surface, the Importance Of which throws quite
into the shade all matters bearing on trade and
'urninerce. The hInsIs swindle has rt-utvd a
feeling at the North, West and East that has
completely broken up party discipline, and call
ed into existence a platform on which every
friend Of freedom can stand without at all com
promising his consistency. That new platform is
the one erected by the Republicans-on which
Wings and Democrats can stand and wage war
against a common enemy.
Men who suppose that the people can any
longer be eajoled by the utterance Of calcalls-
by unmeaning mottoes-by the rights of man
and the principles Of '9S-'misiake the signs of
the times You cannot put new wine into
old bottles without meeting with loss and dis
appointment. Politicians must hereafter face
the music. they must inform the people-no,
abou, the principles oftheir party bu, the prin-
ciples embraced by themselves. They mus,
let the world know how they stand, not on the
gunny bag and treacle questions, but on the
overwhelming question Of Freedom or Slavery.
The Kansas issue has got to be met. No as
pirant for public office will be permitted 10 talk
around this subject. The people of the North
don't want TO hear about John Adams and sedi-
tion laws, but about the right or wrong of in
Producing Slavery into Territories now free
That is the matter in dispute,-and till that
matter is disposed Of the voters of the North
will not patiently listen to any rigmarole about
the Old Federal Party and the 'Treasons of
the Hartford Convention That gag has been
played OUT Hereafter we have TO fight, not
with a skeleton, but a live giant-a monster
that nothing but unliring vigalence can prevent
from reducing the North 10 a state of yassalaee.

oUR rILInusrERs IN NICARAGUA.

Colonel Kinney has evidently modelled his
Nicaraguan scheme after the pattern OF the lex
as acquisition. lie has obtained some sort OF
title, by a process not known to real estate bro
kers, TO a vast tract Of fertile land has impro-
vised and placed himself at the head Of a gov
ernmant for Creytown, and ihereabouts and thus
shrewdly made himself the legal and military
defender of his own rights to the soil, and is
now said to be busy buying up the claims OF the
Grcyiowncrs against the United States. for dam
ages by the Hollins' bombardment. This oper-
alton gives him an anchor 10 windward with our
government. Ills supremacy at Greyiown also
neutralizes the opposition made 10 his schemes
by the Transit company, which cannot Afford To
fight and mus, therefore make terms with him
Mason, our acting consul At Greyiown, has FOR
mally recognized the Kinney government as le-
Ultimate. while the British consul refuses TO do
so. and intimates that his government will pres
emily find leisure to vindicate its claim TO the
protectoraic Of the Mosquito king. There will
naturally be trouble for governor or president
Kinney from this source. Meantime the grant
to this territory, whether it be good or bad, is
still held by the New York company for whom
Kinney at first acted as agent, and who deny
that there was anybody in Nicaragua who could
have given Col. Kinney any sort Of title to il.
Neither has the Nicaragusn government sur
rendered IFS claim to the country, the justice Of
which it will vindicate by force it its imhecilc
rulers can summon sufficient courage andencrgy.
But il seems to be giving way before flibusier
Walker on the western coast, and the chances
are now that in this fve-sided scramble for pos
session Of the country, our enterprizing flihus-
tiers may snatch the prize, and establish a second
Texas, to be at some future day re annexed to
this Union.
A letter from New Orleans to the New
York Tribune, states that active efforts are max
ing in that region to enlis, recruits for the
Walker and Kinney expedition. Severalwealthy
planters have agreed to emigrate thiIher with
their slaves. The fund already guaranteed to
Kinney, is said to amour, to over FIVE millions
of dollars.
A recent letter from Greytown states that
tho Spanish inhabitants had no hand in el%ecting
Colonel Kinney, and have issued a protest a.
gainst his usurpation of authority. They state
that The election was a farce enacted by the
Colonel and his followers, which was very evil
dent from the original account. But that is not
a matter to give the Colonel any uneasiness, if
only he can maintain his authority Spring

ANEW pooK on AMERICAN SLAVERY,

The N. Y. Times says: We hear from prei-
ly good authority that the Honorable Miss
MuRny, the distinguished English lady who
has been travelling in the United States for some
moths past, is preparing a book Of observations
and criticism upon our people and institutions
ard that she intends 10 rindioaie he institution
Of Slarery from The alleged misrepresentation
Of Uncle TOMS Cabin. Unless we have been
entirely misinformed, Miss marry has como to
the conclusion, as the result Of her personal
observation, that the social institutions Of the
Southern States are decidedly in advance Of
those of any other portion Of this country -
that a higher degree of culture and refinement
is To BE- found there than elsewhere in the I'm
ion that Slavery is a blessing rather than d
curse 10 the negroes themselves, and that the
pictures Of its c%ruoiiies and Atrocities, given by
Mrs. Stowe in her celebrated novel, arc either
very gross exageerations, or so exceptional a:
not at all to be taken into the account, when
forming a judgment of the institution itself
She will make this a prominent feature in hel
forthcoming book, and designs, we understand
to enter upon a special refuia,ion of the view.
and representations Of Mrs. Stowe.
