PETERsoS's DUoDEcIMo DIcKENs.-Every lit

first now afoot is the really admirable duodeci-
mo edition of Dickens's works, now being issued
by 7. B. Peterson. The series to which we re-
fer Is exquisitely printed on very thick snow
white paper, and is profusely illustrated by beau
tiful steel engravings, all aeso, and executed ex-
pressly for this work. This set of Dickens"
will be suited for the parlor or library so far as
excellence is concerned, lit being uniform with
the well-known and beautiful edition of Irving's
works. though its cheapness puts it within the
reach of every one. Take it for all in all, the
duodecimo edition of Dickens is beyond ques-
ton one Of the most decided instances Of pub
fishing enterprise which has ever come within
our knowledge. One thing is at least certain
as regards (which is, that whoever the loser
may be, it will not be the purchaser!
The Pickwick Papers, the first number Of the
series, has already appeared. Those who ex-
anime it must admit that we have not over
praised the remarkable merit of this beautiful
edition.

Charlestown, New Hampshire, and studied his

His rare social and domestic qualities, his
devotion to the duties of his profession, his
ready sympathy with every form of suffering,
and his keen appreciation of everything good
and noble, crowned by benevolence as broad
as the wants OF the whole human family, made
him an acquaintance to be coveted, a friend TO
be priced.

Der scarcely gave room to the three couches,
while part OF the ceiling sloped with the roof,
and light came from the window have men,
toned, and one other opening on the ledge, both
securely barred.
"You don't admire the locality. exclaimed
Tom, when he looked at the disappointed coun.
tenances of his guests. "Well, be patient;
you do not recognise, at once, its advantages
The view Is magnificent, its privileges astound-
ing"
They looked from the little window, and saw
only wide expanse of roofs, windows, end
chimney tops. The other easement opened
above the ground, and was equally unsatisfac-
tory. While thus engaged, Tom took from his
box an opera glass, and gazed earnestly from
the little lookout His friends, following the
direction of the glass, thought they saw cur
tain to distant window move. immediately
the face OF the medical student rsdiated like a
full moon; and he repeated, slowly, in French,
as if reading" The first dark night, at ten
o'clock"
"Ah gentlemen" he exclaimed, "what
beauty there is in a true, faithful, and loving
heart Fortune may frOwn, adversely seize
upon you, and con6scate your goods-the world
may forsake-but, as the divine Watts beauti-
fully expresses it,
q The heart that truly loves, never forge,s'n
1t was very evident that the medical student
in his little room had some communication
with the world. If our friends had any doubt
on this score, that doubt was removed. One
dark, rainy night, some time after, Tom, about
the hour of ten, hung his cloak over the win
dow that looked upon the grounds, placed G.
blanket over the closed door, and taking from
the corner walking-stick, said, as he tied a
string securely to the end

us see what is to be caught"
Holding the cane at nearly arms length, he
let the cord drop. In second slight jerk
was felt, and Immediately Tom began hauling
in. The cord brought up singularly shaped
article, which, on inspection, proved to be a
delicate little ham. Again he dropped his
line, and 6shed up cheese. This was followed
by a box of cigars, then an assortment of vege-
tables, and, lastly, bundle, which, when opened,
exhibited pair Of slippers beautifully wrought,
accompanied by note. The first Tom seized
and kissed, and the last he opened and read
with intense delight.

The result Is, there has been a regular STAN.
pede from the ranks of that rotten party-so
much 80, that the General himself is at last
constrained to admit that "a great change is
gong ON IN the minds of the people," The
know Nothings received large accessions from
the Democratic party; and now as that bubble
has burst, a feO have returned to "their wal
lowing in the mire," but large majority, con.
shutting the bone and sinew of the party, have
joined the Republican host, which is destined
to sweep this State like an avalanche next No
vemoer. The remnant of the party, led on by
the Detroit Free Press, still continue to gather
around their deserted camp-ires, endeavoring
to deceive each other into the belief that they
are the "old original" Democrats, by talking
loudly OF the glorious deeds of former cam
paigns. But the people can be deceived no long
er. They ask for deeds, not words, and nothing
less viii satisfy them.
County Convention was held in this place
to-day, In which resolutions sustaining the pres
ent Administration, opposing the Liquor law,
and endorsing Gen. Cass's last manifesto on
Central American affairs, were all voted down.
But Little was said about Kansas, lit is sore
subject with them j but finally concluded they
should prefer to see it come in as a free State.
If the Convention at Cincinnati builds plat
form big h enough and strong enough, to hold
the South, which hope they will do, the Dem
ocratic party in Michigan is doomed.
We intend next fall to wipe out the last yes
tige of Slavery-propagandism from our beauti.
full peninsula. The people are taking matters
into their own hands, and are determined to be
masrepresented in Washington no longer.

Law OF SLAVERY IN LOUISLANA


To the Editor of the National Era:
In your issue of the lst of May, the inquiry
is made by subscriber, if the paragraph going
the rounds of the bunker papers be true that
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana has been fined one
thousand dollars. and forfeited six slaves, for
parting slave mothers and children.
There is law in Louisiana which prohibits
the separation of mothers from their children
under ten years of age-the only slave State
that has a law so favorable to the slave. 1t is,
however, almost dead letter here, for such sep
arations do continually take place l know
personally of very many such, very much under
ten years, some infants. Still, it has a very re-
straining influence, and acts favorably to the
slave.

with Mr.. Hunt and believe that it has no found.

have sprung up from some source, and given
shadow of truth to the report.

PISS. The separation of mothers and fathers
from children take place mostly in the upper
States-Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The mothers are brought here for SALE leaving
their young children to grow, and command a
better price. Some are made to say that they
have no children. This is for your private in

COLLEGE FOR CoLORED MEN.-The Cincin-
natl Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has entered vigorously upon the pro-
ject of College for the education of free col
ored men. The Trustees have purchased
very excellent property near Xenia, Greene
county, Ohio. The establishment, called the
Tawawa House, was built for a watering place,
and cost fifty thousand dollars. The whole
was bought for thirteen thousand dollars.

AN AMERICAN PRINCIPLE REcoGNIsED.-One
ofthe conventions held by the Peace Conference
in Europe. has attached to the treaty the prin-
ciples that neutral flags cover an enemy's goods,
that neutral goods are not liable to capture un-
der an enemy's flag, and that blockades, to be
binding, must be maintained BY a force sufficient
to prevent access to the coast of an enemy.
These principles were first asserted by the Uni
ted States, as necessary to the freedom of COM
merce and the right of navigation. After many
years of opposition, they are at last adopted as
an international law, by the leading Powers of
Europe. The United States, without being en-
gagged in the war, has therefore won victory
for commerce, which will rebound IS much to
the advantage of the world, as it does to the
American character, for never asserting any
principle as an international rule, which is not
recommended by justice and the sound policy
of nations.

INDIAN WAR IN OREGON
WASHINGTON, LINN Co., OREGON,
1nr,J ~ IaEc


april II, 1856.
To the Editor of the National Era:
The Indian war still continues, and with but
little prospect of its termination. Many valu-
able lives of white men, women, and children,
have been taken, property destroyed, and houses
burned, to very alarming extent, and many
persons left in destitute circumstances.
The present war is, to a considerable extent
political war, for the purpose of nanufac
turing big men for Office. Petitions were print
ed by the Administration party, and circulated,
signed, and sent to the Governor, asking him
to remove every officer in the army who was
not a Democrat, and particularly the Know
Nothings, when all alike were fighting for one
common cause, their country; but the Govern
or, like prudent man, put the petitions in his
pocket, and replied that he would attend to that
matter when the war was over.

To tie Editor of the National Era:
The facts given below wish, if you have no
objection, you would publish, and put them in
as strong and striking language as possible; l
hold myself responsible for it.
1t is almost impossible to get the Era through
this post office. One of my club has never re-
ceived but three papers, another individual
never received one of his, until got admitted
to the Office, where, after making considerable
fuss, found most of his back numbers piled
away with lot of other rubbish. Ny own
comes very irregular, sometimes two or three
numbers come at once, and sometimes do not
come at all. 1t is all owing to the present AID
ministration party, which seem to feel very
much elated with the socalled victory in our
late municipal election, and very independent.

PORTSMOUTH, ONO, May rs, 1856.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
Enclosed 1 send you the proceedings of our
(Scioto) County Convention, also of this Con-
gressional district, (10th,) now represented in
Congress by Mr.. o. F. Moore.
You will see both take the ground of prohib-
ting Slavery in the Territories. This ground
must be taken by the Philadelphia Convention,
or it will be useless for US to go into the con-
test, for we shall, assuredly, be overwhelmed.
Even here, this is considered moderate ground.
The outrage on Mr.. Sumner has sent thrill
of horror through our community, which is
sinking deeply; and unless such outrages are
punished severely, you may expect soon to hear
the demand for the removal of the seat of Gov
eminent to the free States.
