E8y" "CRoToN Journal" is the name Of
a new paper--a copy Of which has been duly
received-printed at Croton, Newaygo Co.,
Mich. 1t rivals, in some respects, at least,
its contemporary and neighbor, the Republican.
We are inevitably led to the conclusion, .iudg
ing from the existence and character of the
Journal and Republican, that the people of
Newaygo Co. are not whit behind those Of
any other part Of the State, in point of enter
prise and lberality, and are, decidedly, a
:" fast" people. We heartily wish our friends
of the Republican and Journal abundant
success in their enterprise.

NEBRASKA ITEMs.-The Nebraska City
News of the ODD ult., says that Judging
from the immigration into Nebraska Terrific
ry, it will be admitted as a State in four or
five years. 1t says further:
1t is our opinion, further, that Platte Riv-
or will be the southern boundary of Nebras-
ka, and that the seventy-two miles of Terri
tory between that River and Kansas will be
added to the Territory or State of Kansas
Such q change would be for the best, both
for Kansas and Nebraska. Such a change
would settle the Kansas difficulties at once.
The weather in Nebraska up to the 22d
ult, had been very pleasant. Atmosphere dry
and healthy.

be run from Milwaukee to Grand Haven, in
connection with the ID. and M. Railway:
"These steamships are to be construct
ed differently from the steamboats, that
now navigate the Lakes, inasmuch as they
are to be without guards, in order to avoid
being disabled in heavy sea, and to run
punctially and safely from port to port, nine
months in the year. Captain l.. I'll. Cotton,
who is not only one of the oldest and most
successful steamboat commanders on the

Pork AND BEEF.-Pork and Beef are now
coming into market in large quantities. The
season may besaid to have fairly commenced.
1t has been very favorably to producers, the
prices being well up. Pork is now quoted at
IS 90 6, and Beef at $3.50 a. 400.
Some idea Of the extent of this business
may be formed from the statistics of last win
ter's operations. Two of our leading mar
kets paid out, during the busy season, from
$1,000 to 81 500 W day, for pork alone; aud
this season their business will probably be
much increased G. R. Daily Enquirer. o

ALMOST A FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE.

A few days since it became known that an Ala
bama slave'catchcr was in this city to obtain pro-,
cess for the arrest of a colored man residing at
Albion, whittier the slavecatcher had been and rec
ognised his human property. While in this city
consulting the high authorities woo a!sasc runaway
negroes, the facts connected with his visit, in n
very mysterious manner, became known 70 some
friends who do not think the chief glory of a State
consists in returning fugitive slaves 20 bondage,
and the slave man was at once informed of what
was going on, and went over to Canada with natu-
raj haste.
The slave.catcher is named J. S.. Gavitt, and he
halls from Mobile, Alabama. from which city they
drive out booksellers by n mob, who may chance
to sell one copy of an Anti, Slavery book.
He is easily distinguishable by a long scar on
one cheek. He registers his name as j. Res, Ev-
aneville, Ind. We presume Mr.. Gavitt has gone
home disconsolate. Even the loyal slavedriving
Democracy of this State wouldn't help him. o
Temporal o Gavitt! How your success would
have helped the political prospects of your friend

THEANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE

For philosophic powers of generalization no less
than for kcenness of discernment ond sharpness
of wit, there is not ore Of our American statesmen
who can be compared to old John Adams. In one
of HE famous Cunningham letters he wrote as
follows;
"If q family which has been high in Office. and
splendid in wealth, falls into decay from profigacy
folly, vice or misfortune, they generally turn DEM
ocrats and court the lowest of the people with an
ardor, an art, n skill, and consequently with q sue.
cess which nc, vulgar democrat can attain"
How strikingly the general truth of this obser-
walton is confirmed by the present political position
Of the families Of Webster and Cll7. If they do not
attain to the success spoken of in the above para
graph, that is not so much John Adams fault ne
their own, or that of nature. John Adams in
making this observation naturally enough suppos'
ed, especially Judging from his own family, tina,
the sons would be apt to possess some s%cinulla,
at least, OF the fathers talent. That is the ease
to which he refers. The case of sons as much the
opposite of their father in intellect MS in politics
had not occurred1to hint iGune.

One hundred and fifteen dollars per year, allow.
ing two hundred and fifty working days, are equal
to ~forty-s,x cents per day; whereas the hired macon
will cost the contractor two dollars or two dollars
and fifty cents--more than four times rs much as
the company who owns the mason.
There is a nice calculation Let our laboring
men read it, and say that thoy "have nothing to
do with slavery" Tha: sweet idea of "a nursery
or repository Of sAapes and mules" sounds Chris.
~tian-like, too! And when the shareholders can
buy negro masons and laborers, and feed and clothe
them at that price, what is to become of those in
dustrious free white railroad laborers who now do
this work, and generally support the slave power
ON election day? Would it not be wise to keep
this system-where men buy laborers so much
more cbeaply than they can hire them--from ex-
tending itself into any moro territory.

SLAVES FOR RAILROAD HANDS-.A
STARTLING PROPOSITION.

It has been so customary to consider all tn G work
of making canals and railr Dads as the perquisi'e
Of the Irish laboring men of our country, that we
had hardly thought of the possibility Of the SUI :.
,%stitution of slave labor; but it is actually done in
Louisiana, and proposed in other slave States. The
President of the Tennessee and Alabama Railroad
Company-a road projected from Nashville south.
westward, in his annual report, which will be
found in the Boston Raiway Times, recommends
that the company JUy negroes to build the road:
or as he .ays. invest a part of your unappiopria-
ted capital in the purchase Of slaves, stock and
implements" DC. He presents an elaborate argu.
ment in favor of the plan, especially its economi-
cal advantages, and cites the fact that tho State Of
Louisiana constructed its public works by slave
labor, owned by the State. The President says:
The question for the company to decide is wheth-
er this plan can be conveniently carried into prac-
ticc. The answer is, from our knowledge Of what
capital, and resources the company have, unex-
pended and what additional stock that might be
procured to be vested in slaves. it can be done.
AT first, from two to four hundred slaves might be
purchases; say three hundred, in the usual lots,
some having families. would at this time cost, upon
nm average, about 81 600 each, which would he
$500. 900. Two hundred and seventy-ive of these
could be placed upon the road, and the balance
upon a farm rented convenient to the road, to pay
their expenses and thu interest upon their ,ost.
Upon this farm Il portion of the provisions 10 supply
the laborers upon the ROAD might be f~rodGeed. and
it could be used as a nursery or repositor y for the
slaves and mules not in n suitable condition for
work, to rest and be recruited.
To sustain the plan suggested, It is proper to
make n comparison of the cost Of labor to a cor
p~oration owning slaves, and n contractor who hires
Shem.
The ave rage hire of negro men to work on in
ternal improvements in this country is about Sl75.
If the company were to purchase at the present
prices, (say 81 ,000,) the yearly cost to the COM
pany compared with the hirelings, will lie as fol.
lows:
Interest on 81, 1000 $50 90
