LET THERE BE No AGGRESSION We would
have every American at the pslls on Tuesday from
morning until night, and we would have all to be
firm, determined and uuyielding in the exercise of
their constitutional rights; but while We would
advise thus, we would also urge upon them to be
peaceable, moderate and cenciliatorY in all their
conduct. Let them, in their acts, exhibit the true
character of American freemen, who will accord to
all their just rights, aud who claim nothing for
themselves that they are not willing to accord to
others entitled to the Same. Let there BIO no ag.
gressive act, no wrong done, but let 1t be the aim
Of all to be in the right. Conscious of beHg in the
right, let them maintain it at every hazard, for
thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just.

The COLD TBRM.-We have not received
any information from Franconia, Fryburg
Hollow, Maine, or Lebanon, N. T., the places
most celebrated for freezing quicksilver. as to
the state OF the thermometer ON the 9th and
10th lnsis. There is, therefore, some reason
TO suppose their ancient reputation has not
been this year fully sustained.
The greatest degree OF cold we have seen
recorded in this month was g deg. below zero
on the 9th, at Mongaup Valley, Sullivan Co.,
New York. In the city of Chicago, as is
stated. the thermometer tell during the night
OF the 9Th, to 80 deg. betbso, and probably on
the prairies in the neighborhood, yet lower.
AT Lat rosse, Wisconsin, in the latter part
Of December, the Thermometer fell to 40 deg.
below, but whether it VAS filled with alcohol
or quicks liver is not stated Ii with the lat
ter,its indications in such extreme depressions
cannot be relied on Traveller.

A STRANGE SToRy. The Boston Bee Of
yesterday. states that early on Tuesday morn
ing last, o lady in that city, v 18th a small pack
ct of papers in her hand covered by her shawl
when passing from Washington to fremont
street, saw two men a little in advance
She soon came up with them, when they sud
denly stopped, turned round and one of them
called out in q loud tone of voice, q There
comes the thiefF' The lady turned her head,
when one of the men suddenly seized her by
the shoulders with both hands, holding her
arms with strong grasp, while the other
drew aside her shawl, caught her bundle of
papers, and was gone ere she could utter q
word. There, MADAM, exclaimed the 9TH
er, g do that again if you dare" The lady
called in vain for the police. The men were
both well dressed and had The appearance Of
gentlemen.
The bundle contained, among other arti-
Giles, manuscript exposing the g Mysteries
horrors, and cruelties of Convent Life" A
nun fed ftoin the Gray Nuunery in Montreal
and after being twice caught and CARED
back, tortured and starved until she was ac-
tually insensible,sh at length succeeded in
making her escape. She came to the city Of
Worcester, MISS, where she related her story
to the lady who gave her employment. When
it was known she had done this, her life was
threatened and again sue was compelled to
flee. But the narrative was written, and when
nearly ready for the press. the room of the
writer was secretly invaded one Sabbath day,
and the manuscript carried off, Again the
narrative was written, and now when it is
nearly finished, it is once more stolen.
Such is the substance Of the story, as given
in the Bee. Tile name of the lady is not
given.
