WHO GEN. WALKER is.

William Walker, the filibuster of Nicara-
qua, was born in Nashville, Tenn, and is
now about thirty-three years old. His faith
cr is james Walker, Esq, q citizen of Nash
vile, of Scottish birth, and very much res
pcctcd. His mother was Miss NOrvell,
an estimable lady, from Kentucky. Walker,
after quitting school in his native State,
which he did with much credit and honor,
commenced the study of medicine in the
University of Pennsylvania, where he gra-
duuted He then went to Europe, entered
the medical schools of Paris as a student,
received diploma there, and after some
time spent in travel, returned to this cOun-
try, went to Nashville, and commenced the
study and the practice of the law. Walker
is thus both lawyer and physician. From
Nashville he went to New Orleans, and was
for some time editor of The Crescent. In
June, 1850, he went to San Francisco, and
became one of the editors of The Herald.
While in this position an article appeared
in The Herald mountaineering upon the Ju
dietary, to which exception was taken by
Judge Parsons, of the District Court, who
forthwith summoned him before his Court,
and inflicted on the editor a fine of $780,
This Walker refused to pay and was ac-
cordingly imprisoned, but was subsequently
discharged on writ of habeas corpus, is
sued from the Superior Court, which acton
was sustained by the Legislature at the next
session. The next enterprise in which
Walker was engaged was the famous expe-
dition to Sonora, with the disastrous result
of which our readers are as familiar as they
are with his more recent history.

OPINIONS OF AN ENeL1sHMAN.

At public meeting of the Mardan Me-
chanics' Institution at Manchester, England,
on the 14th December, Mr.. Bright, Mem
Der of Parliament, in the course of speech,
deprecating war with the United States,
said:
MANY of you have relatives or friends
in America. That young nation has popu-
lation about equal to ours in these islands.
1t has great internal and external COM
merce. 1t has more tonnage in shipping
than we have. 1t has more railroads than
we have. 1t has institutions more free than
we have-that horrid slavery of the South
excepted-and which is no fruit of its insti-
buttons, but an unhappy legacy of the past.
1t has also great manufacturing interest
in different branches. That is the young
giant whose shadow ever grows, and there
is the true rival of this country. How do
we stand or start in the race! The United
States Government, including all the Gov
ernments of oil the sovereign States, raises
in taxes probably from E IL, 900, OOOto fl5,-
100000 sterling in the year. England this
year will raise i'll taxes and loans, and will
expend nearly GlOO,0O0,OO0. This popu-
lation must raise, and will spend probably
9SO,OOO,OO within the year, more than
that population will raise and spend, and in
America there is far less poverty and pau
pcrism than in England. Can we run this
race on these terms and against these odds!
Can we hope to be as well off as America,
if the products of our industry are thus
swept away by the tax-gatherer and in the
vain scheme of saving Europe from imagi,
nary dangers Can poverty be lessened
among us, can education spread, can the
brutality of so many of our population be
uprootcd-can all or anything that good
men look for, come to us-while the fruits of
our industry, the foundation of all social
and moral good, are squandered in this man
ner! Pursue the phantom of military glory
for ten years, and expend in that time a
sum equal to all the visible property of
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and then COM
pare yourselves with the United States of
America, and where will you be? Pauper-
ism, crime and political anarchy, are the
legacies we are preparing for our children,
and there is no escape for us unless we change
our course, and resolve to disconnect our
selves from the policy which tends inces-
sanity to embroil us with the nations of the
continent of Europe

REV. RUFUS w. aRIswoLD.

Ten or twelve years ago, Rufus w. Girls
void, (now Baptist mInster,) the author,
married wife in South Carolina, and re-
sided at Charleston six or seven years
otter which he removed to Pennsylvania,
and made an unsuccessful application for q
divorce. He then sent her paper for sig
nature, acknowledging she had abandoned
him without cause-which she refused to
sign; she was then residing in New Jersey,
with their daughter, of whom she had been
appointed guardian, without any opposition
on his part. This child he forcibly took
from her, offering to restore the daughter,
if the mother would sign the paper he had
sent horse that he could marry again.
Implored by letters from the daughter, and
| advised that signature thus wrung from
her would avail nothing, she reluctantly
signed the fulsehOod to obtain the child.
Mrs. G.. then wrote to the woman her hus-
band was addressing, stating these circum-
stances-but was surprised afterwards to
to see n notice of her husbands marriage.
Having received no notice of any divorce
being granted, she consulted her counsel
who examined the records, discovered that
| the papers in the case had been removed
from the office of the prothonotary, and was
informed by the judge that decree of di-
| yorce had been granted on the representa-
! ton that she consented 10 it. The loss of
the papers prevented an appeal to the Su-
preme Court, but her attorney, David Paul
Brown Esq, of Philadelphia has taken a
rule to show cause why the decree should
not be annulled, on the ground of fraud.
This is a strange case, and put the Rev.
| fore the public.

descendants7 Several years ago more than
BOG, 600 of them were members OF Protestant
evangelical churches in the slaveholding
States, About 10000 American negroes,
trained chiefly ut the South, transpianted
TO Liberia, now rule nearly 100000 natives
IF Africa, and through their schools and
churches are spreading the light and love
of fhe GOSPEL in that land of darkness and
hcathonisrl.
II il true that more than nine-tenths OF
the negroes at the South are still slaves; but
is slavery under Christian masters IN Amerl-
ca, the same evil with slavery under heath
cn tvrants in Africa Degraded as these
slaves may still be, compared with the sons
OF the pilgrims in New England, or even
with the mass of labOrers in some of the en-
fightcnod countries in Europe, can 3,OOO,-
600 or I,O0O,O0O negroes, bond or free, be
found in any part of the world, who can
compare. for good condition, physical IN
tellcctual. and moral, with the 3,OOo,OOO
slaves at the South! Has Christianity, aid
cd by all the wealth of British Christians
done as much during the last twenty years
for the elevation of the 100000 emancipatcd
negroes in the West Indies, British philan-
thropists themselves being the Judges OF
what it has effected there, as it has done
during the same period for the elevation OF
our 5000, 900 American slaves !

THE PAST AND PRESENT CONDI-
TON OF THE NEGRO.

The New York Observer, in the course of
an article on slavery, says: When the an
cestors of those negroes were torn from
their homes in Africa, by the Slayetrndcrs
of Old England and New England and
placed under the influence of Christianity
at the South, they were among the most de-
graded and miserable of the human species,
slaves ofcruel masters, the victims of bloody
superstitions, believers in witchcraft and
worshippers of the devil.
And what now is the condition of their

PARTIES-CONTRASTs.

The voting in the House of Representa-
tiVes, for Speaker, diScloscs marked and
singular condition of parties, which we may
briefly remark on. 1t is known to the
whole country that the Democratic party,
after binding itself by the most stringent
tests and refusing to compromise away any
of its principles, took as its candidate for
Speaker the gentleman who, more than any
one else was identified with the great meas
ure of the last Congrcss-the Nebraska
Kansas bill. 1t thus not only determined to
declare its appreciation of, and adherence
To, that bill, but it went further, and dOubly
emphasized it's cOmmittal to it by taking as
its standard bearer the gallant Democrat
from Illinois, who piloted the bill through
the House of Representatives,. The Demo-
CRITIC party is firmly cemcnted and alto
grther harmonious.
When we look from that party to the
members of the Know Nothing order, we are
struck with an impressive contrast. Instead
of one, there are two Know Nothing par
ties. Instead of one candidate, there are
platform, there are two crecds and two plat
forms.
When we look, again, from the Know
Nothings to the Freesoil party, we behold
another contrast. That party presents as
complete and harmonized tumble of con-
trarieties and antagonisms as could well be
imagined. 1t is made up of men who were
once Democrats, of men who were once
Wings, and indeed, of men who have been
every thing by turns. But hsrmoniEed by
one common instinct into one irm brother
hood, they declare their principles and sus-
tain their candidate. We hear sometimes
of sound and unsOund Democrats, of sound
ind msound Wings, of sound and unsOund
Know Nothings, but no one never hears of
the same distinction being taken in respect
10 Black Republicans. Abolitionsm is their
nnimating, vital principle.
In brief-the Black Republican party is
on unconstitutional nti-slavery party But
they have one virtue, and that IL, they hang
together. Of the few Whigs left a. memo
rails of a once great and triumphant party,
some act with one party, some with other
parties. The Kn"wNothings are split and
divided into two or three separate parties,
and hold, some pro-slavery, some anti-slave-
~ opinions. They cannot agree.
The only party that is thoroughly cOnscr-
yative and constitutional-that has perfect
platform in which all agree, and that votes
to u man for one candidates. the Demo
cratic party. Its. position before the cOun-
try is proud and prominent.-[ " Sentinel.

EXECUTION OF THREE MURDER
rDC

We find i'll the Lafayette Qnd.) Courier,
of Friday, an account of the execution of
three murderer-Rice, Driskill and Stock
ing. The Courier says:
At ten minutes past two o'clock, this p.
NJ, Stocking, Rice. and Driskill were duly
executed by the hands of the sheriff, Tho's
Jefferson Chisom-the first named for the
murder of John Rose, and the two latter for
the murder of Cophas Fahrenbaugh.
At II o'clock they were asked if they
Were ready for diIIuc1 Z: tIUU Irpllru YES,
l am hungry" Driskill said that he want
cd ga good old dinner, as it was the last
he didn't want to die hungry He remark
ed to Rice, ''well get supper some where
else, may bc.'' The dinners were brought
in and despatched with great heartiness.-
After dinner, each Of them in turn washed
and dressed himself for the final moment
They could not have made their toilet with
more deliberation and GOODNESS if they had
been going to a frolic.
Driskill, when washing, remarked through
the window, near which he was standing.
to some one outside, that he was ''getting
a good ready" In putting on his shirt,
Rice discovered that there was q button
missing. Driskill told him to sew one on.
Rice replied that he hadn't time. Driskill
nonchalantly rejoined that there was "an
hour yet. He complimented Rice with look
ing id starchy." Rice, as he finished,
observed, ''v-"il, gentlemen, | reckon there
was never a wininger soul to die than ann
Stocking said nothing, but conducted him
self las he did throughout) with great dig
nifty and firmness.
The sheriff then proceeded TO adjust the
fatal ropes. Rice requested that a stool
which had been placed for his accommodate
ton on the scaffold might be removed, and
on his request not being Immediately COM
piled with, he removed it himself He then
knelt down, inclined his head forward, re-
marking that he had "seen men hung" by
which we understand that he regarded that
as the proper position. Driskill, on obser-
wing it, said. "Abe, are you going to kneel!''
Rice answered Eyes" He then turned to
Stocking and said, ''Stock, which way is
the easiest way to die-kneel or stand I
want to die the easiest way" Stocking re-
piled that he should stand unless he thought
there was danger in the rope breaking
The sheriff assured him there was no dan
ger. He therefore stood up, but DriskilI
kneeled. The caps were then drawn over
thplF faces at yva -fyUn md ho1@
minutes after two O'Clock the bolt was with
drawn and the culprits were launched into
eternity.

LONDON THE GREATEST CITY.-This is
now the greatest city in the world and far
surpasses all the great cities of antiquity
According to Gibbon, the population of an
cient Rome, in the height of its magnif-
cence, was 100000; Nineyeh is estimat
ed to have had 100000; and DR.. Medhurst
suPposes that the population of Pekin is a.
bout 100000. The population of London,
according to recent statistics, amounts to
2,5OO,OO0-414,722 having been added to it
during the last ten years. The census
shows that it contains 307,732 inhabitei i,
and 1880 uninhabited houses.
