RECEPTION OF BuRL1NeAME,

Ed. OF Con. JOURNAL: :-On the evening oi
the Sd of July Hon. Anson Burlingame arrived
in this city from Washington. He was on bis
way to your city of Concord to address the peo.
pie upon the Fourth. A few hours previous to
his arrival, the tidings of his coming spread
through the streets, and several hundreds of his
personal and political friends assembled to give
him hearty welcome. They had read his very
eloquent and able speech in defense Of Maasa.
chusetts, and they desired to give some expires.
sion of their gratitude for such noble and fear.
less vindication of right in the face of Southern
rufianisn. When the honorable gentleman
alighted from the cars, he was greeted with cheer
after cheer by enthusiastic friends, just enough
to show him that his unfnching stand for liber-
ty was appreciated. He was conducted to a
barouch on Beach Street, where he was address
sed by Judge Russell in behalf of the friends
assembled. Mr. B. replied in his eloquent and
characteristic manner; after which he was con.
veyed to his residence in Cambridge. Among
those who assembled to welcome Mr B. we un-
derstand there were some of his hitherto politi-
cal opponents. Recent demonstrations of the
Slave Power have made them ashamed of their
company, and they are now upon the right side.
We are glad to see that the resolute efforts of
Sumner, Wilson, Hale, Seward, Burlingams,
Banks, &C., in behalf of freedom, and for the
good of The common country, are appreciated by
multtudes of all purties. Each week brings
fresh encouragement to the friends Of freedom
and Fremont,

THE money of misers generally goes to those
they least love. The McDonough estate, said,
at the decease of tie testator, to be $4,000 900
but now estimated at 82,OOO,OOo, is likely TO be
absor bed in litigation. 1t is said that the income
does not meet the current expenses, and unless
some final disposition is made of it, the various
bene6cent objects TO which it was bequeathed
will receive no benefit from it.

THE SLAVE TRADE AGAIy.-ln the year 1850
some british traders undertook to dodge the odl.
utn of the negro "slave trade" by giving a small
sum of money, about seven dollars, for each
negro who would cmigrate from the coast OF
Afric. as "a laburer." 1t was said 10 be n VOL
untary act on the part of the negro going, bul
it was we'll known that no one was allowed to
trade" on the coast in this way, unless he first
made present to the head man" ard then il
was discovered that the "laborers" volunteered
as fast rs they were wanted, or i'll other words
they were compelled to volunteer. The Libe.
rian government issued proclamation warning
all engaged in it TO cease The traffic. The Brit.
ish government, of course, when their hypocrcy
was exposed to the world were forced to desist.
1t now appears by the last arrival from Liberia
that the French government are trying the same
game, in order to get "laborers" (slares) for
French Guina. The negro President of Liberia
has issued another proclamation, again exposing
the deception, which it is presumed will frig hlen
off Louis Napoleon, who, though he needs no
excuse for enslaving white men, probably, like
England and the Black Republicans in this
country, desires 10 keep up doubtful repnta'
ton as 81 friend of freedom" by pretending 10
have the utmost regard for negroes.-New York

serve twenty days in the Senate without having
a fight with brother Senator for words spoken
in debate And he could not serve in the army

be by George Law, Thurlow Weed, and the

TIE CARNCROSS FAMILY.

This troupe spent three or four days in
our town last week, and we were highly
entertained by their performances. Miss
Rosamond dances and sings enchantingly,
and her comic acting is very creditable.-
Mr.. Freyer's performance on the violin,
would be we'll received on any stage. lie
evidently possesses musical talents of a
high order. Mr.. Wells is number one
low comedian. His song of the "uscd up
man." is inimitable, and calls forth roars
of laughter. Altogether it was the best
show that has visited our town in seven
years. There is nothing in their perfor-
mances calculated to offend the taste of
the most fastidious.

THE FOREMAN IN LUCK.

The English language is too poor to
furnish us with words sufficient to express
our thanks to Miss. Somebody, for pres
ent so beautiful, so delicate, so rich, and
to us, so valuable, that it has raised us,
in our own estimation, far above mediocre
", and which has rendered us so sensitive
that we have refused to associate any
longer with our Editor.
We had Just been listening to an excel
lent discourse from the pulpit, and sat alb
sorbcdin deep reflection upon divine things,
when package, carefully done up, was
placed in our hands by small specimen
Of African humanity, accompanied with
the remark, ''dis am fur de printer. .
We turned to make some inquiries, but he
had vanished. The whole thing was so
uncxpectcd-so mysterious, that for flew
moments we sat gazing at the parcel with
suspicion, thinking of Torredos, Internal
Machines, &c. &C., but imagining that it
gave forth a perfume entirely different
from that which might be supposed to
arise from gum powder, and not believing
that we had an enemy who would wish to
see us take our exit from Pamela in so
abrupt a manner, we vCnturCd to open it,
and found it to contain one of the most rich
and magnificent boquetS that ever came
from the hands of fair lady; composed
of every variety of flowers, from the bdche-
Tors button to the delicate, blushing, rose
containing also a cluster of delicious, ripe
grapes. Thinking there must he some
mistake. we were about starting with it to
the sanctum of the editor, when we dis
covered card, half buried in the flowers,
on which was written, in a fine feminine
hand. our own name, with the compliments
Ola friend.
The fair lady, who ever she is, may rest
assured that her kind remembrance of us
Will be long cherished; while it is our
earnest, sincere wish, that her Friendship
nav endure. long after these howers-now
90 fresh and beautiful-sh have faded,
withcred and died. IL our fair friend will
agree to furnish us her name, we promise
never TO reveal it; we would embalm it in
our mcmory-engrave it upon our heart
and breathe it only in our prayers
We tender to the unknown our thanks
and best wishes, that her future pathway
in Hfo may be strcwn with just such lovely
lowers, and that her heart may always be
as free and happy, as it is pure and good.

SABBATH SCHOOLS.
Mr. EDITOR :

Permit me through
your Col,imnS to call the attention of
our citizens to the Importance of or
ganizing and sustaining Sabbath
School in The town of Pamela. No
one will doubt the utility of such
schools, for every one has probably
experienced their beneficial results.
Why is it then, that Pamela has ne
elected, CT forgotten 50 important an
enterprise! 1t cannot be for the want
of teachers, when there are some four
or five different denominations repre-
scented in the town. 1t will not be said
that there is not sufficient number of
children TO Justify the undertaking,
for we have no doubt but that fifty
children, between the ages of six and
fifteen, conId be found, who would
gladly attend.
1t is probably true, that no one de-
nomination alone can sustain a school,
but let all the denominations join
let them form union school-laying
aside all ScctarianiSm, and unite in
giving to the children religious, moral,
and intellectual instruction, and they
will not only give character to our
town, but they will find it both pleas
ant and profitable employment for
teachers; it will tend to the promotion
of morality and religion in the neigh
borhood, while the rising generation,
instead of spending the Sabbath, list
ening to the vulgarity and profanity
which too often characteristics the con-
versation of those more advanced in
years, would be receiving such in
struction and impressions as would
tend to lead them into the paths of
moral rectitude and virtue, making
them the pride and joy of their parents
ornaments to society. and every way
fitted and qualified to discharge those
duties which they will soon owe to
society and their country.
Let this matter be delayed no long
er. Permit me to suggest the prOprie-
ty of calling meeting of those friend
" to this measure-Of those willing to
take part in it, male and female-at
an early day; appoint Superintend-
emit, fix upon an hour for school, en-
roll the names of scholars, and divide
them into classes, and if you get no
other reward for your 'labors of love-
YOU will at astpossess the conscious
ness of having performed your duty,
in sowing the seeds of morality and
religion, the fruit from which may bless
posterity long after your work on earth
has ceased.
Mr.. Editor, heretofore | have writ
ten to amuse, but if these few lines
shall accomplish the end for which
they are written, / shall feel that my
scribbling has not all been without
profit, and am willing to promise your
readers, that it shall terminate the
correspondence of

Her aim has ever been to give a
Thoroughly practical education-not
however, at the expense of such ac-

rather combining with them; and to
instruct her scholars so that in time,
they may themselves become teachers.
The school discipline has hitherto been
