Amer1canizing Foreigners.

A gallant officer in rthe United States
Navy communicates to the Drawer an ad-
mirable incident to show the power OF an
American training, even upon the rawest
of British h-born subjects who enlist under
the stripes aad stars:
"In lS4S the frigate United States was
lying in the Bay of Gibraltar, and the
usual ciyilities were passing between the
officers of the ship and ths SO of the gar
risou. Atone Of the dinner parties con-
versation turned upon the various small
arms in use, and Commodore Read spoke
of the American carbine. in terms. of high
praise. Few of the British officers pres.
ent had ever seen the weapon, and gen.
eral request was made that an opportu.
nifty might be afforded Of witnessing its
efficiency The Commodore readily com
piled, and an appointment for the mex
morning was made. t-'
/ "Orderly Sergeant Shaw was instructed
to select man and a weapon for the trial
and he directed Private Lynch to be OF
the ground. They found quite party
of British officers in waiting, who exam
ined the weapon, and made numerous in
quiries respecting it of Lynch, whom they
soon discovered to be a son Of the En-
erald Isle. The trial began. A small
china cup was placed on a post at a dis
tance Of thirty yards. Lynch loaded hi
lcarbine, brought it deliberately to hi
shoulder, fred, and the cup was iu atoms

managing the first election, and that, con-
sequeutly, his proclamation prescribing
the rules and regulations under which this
particular election was held became the
law for this purpose, which he. as Gov
ernor of the Territory, instead of the
President of the United States, was bound
to see faithfully executed. Although
these facts are set forth in the mastery"
report of the minority which he so hearth
y indorses, my colleague still insists that
the Governors neglect of duty furnishes
"no excuse +" for the President. We have
been repeatedly told during this debate
that the conquerors of Kansas invaded
the Territory on one day, and returned to
their homes in Missouri on the next day,
with flags flying and drums beating! The
|unpardonable sin which the President
committed, consists in the fact that he did
not know that kansas had been con-
quered" before the event happened, in
order ':to justify his interference to pro-
tect the ballot-bex !" According to my
colleague and this mastery" report, the
President should notb be forgiven, because
be "coud neither see nor hear of these
invasiops until after the mischief was
done and the invaders had made their
escape; while Governor Reeder, who, by
proclamation, made the law under which
the election was held, and was bound to
see it faithfully executed, was perfectly
excusable in remaining uniformed "'in
relation to the conquest for nearly five
months after the event.
l will not follow my colleague further
in his assaults upon the President of the
United States. 1t must be apparent that
nothing can say can reconcile him to
anything the President has done.
Time viii show whether the President
will be able to survive the assault l am
not in the habit of speaking in the Ian
guage of eulogy. 1t is not my purpose
to do so on this occasion. But feel that
it is due to the subject and TO the occa-
sien, to express my conviction that the
President is entitled to the thanks of the
whole country, and will receive the CRATE
full Acknowledgements of every true Demo
crat in the Union for the promptness,
irmness and fidelity with which he has
performed his duty upon all the issues
growing out of this Kansas-Nebraska
question.
In conclusion, Mr.. President, I feelsi,
my duty to apologize to the Senate foi
the desultory manner in which | have per.
formed my public part in this discussion
My excuse is to be found in the state o.
my health l have cmdeavered to pre-
sent the points at issue between the ma
jority and minority reports fairly and dis
tinctly. They make up direct issue OF
certain great principles which the country
must decide.
When the subject shall have been thor.
oughly discussed and fully understood, ]
shall have no fear of the, verdict the peo
| pie will render on the points stated.

HOW to get Unmarried.

Il : -tH
To help those uneasy men and woman
who wish to escape the moose of matrimo-
n.y. we copy the following from an English
record of many years back:
ga certain lewd fellow Of the baser sort
came from long way off out in the shres,
and married woman who had been whip
ped round our town more than once. The
parish officers were her bridemaids, and
her husband was not afraid Of receiving
curtain lectures, for their sole bed was OF
dirty straw on the dirty ground; never
theless he wearied soon OF his life, and
went to the parish clerk, seeking to be
rid of his crooked rib Solomon was
sly, and replying to his inquiry if the
parson could unmarry them, saidasWhy
need ye trouble his reverence? Have not
/. man ana boy, been his clerk forty years
come aIl-hollow tide? / can do it as well
as e'er a parson Of them all, and as sure
as there is now good tap of ale at the
lseBell" Let us go there You stand two
| pots, and l will do all right for you. .
So, after drinking ont his fee, Solomon
took the fellow into the church by the
priests door. Now said he, 'ye were
married here; so put off your jacket and
kneel at confession, for tits solemn busi.
ness Then. they went into the helfry, and
bidding him take off his shoes, and stand
on stool, he gave him the longest bell
rope. Tie that tightly. my lad, reunl

day in open Court, that they all declared that they
would go singing to the gallows, rather than be
returned to slavery" 1t Is considered tie highest
achievement OF natural courage, and also u the
the Christian faith, to raise tho soul above the fear
OF death. The love of life is ono of the strongest
feelings Of the human heart. The fear Of death is
ot course strong in the same degree. Bot the
condition OF the slave is more dreadful than death.
ana his love OF liberty stronger than his lovo of

the grave, than laid a living sacrifice in the arms
of this LiOody hloloch.

care OF our government; and is baptized rs u
