his nature, and apparently seeks the advan

serfage, and invited his bearers to think
about the means Of abolishing it. "You
know" he said, &" that hate the institution
of serfage, and am sure you dislike it also.
Let us, therefore do our best for slow

wisdom. Should the Gar abolish serfdom
during his reign, he will do more for the
welfare and true glory Of Russia than would
accrue from hundred victories on the battle

RALLY IN BLAcKsToNR.-There was a great
Fremont and Dayton gathering in Blackstone
last Monday evening, SAID to the largest meeting
of any kind ever held in that town, numbering
from $500 to 5000 persons. At Z II o'clock
splendid new national flag bearing the names of
Fremont and Dayton, was flung to the breeze,
amid the shouts and cheers of the mass gathered
there to remain till the election of the Peoples
candidates in November next. After the raising of
the flag, the Milford Brass Band played the tune
OF the " Star Spangled Banner" and the crowd
then formed procession, and marched, accom-
panied by the music of the band, through seve-
raj of the streets of the village to Blackstone
Hall. 1t was found that but small ortion of
those present. could get into the Hall, though it
is the largest in the place. The meeting was
therefore held in the open air. in front of the
Union House, from the balcony of which they
were addressed by the speakers. The first of
these was Sullivan Ballou, Esq, of Woonsooket,
and he was followed by Jerome Kimball, Esq
eff Providence. They both made eloquent and
effective speeches, discussing, with ability, the
great issues involved in the pending election At
the close, three cheers were given for Fremont,
three for Jessie, and three for the speakers.
The meeting was great affair for Blackstone,
and augurs well for the Peoples cause Among
the most active participants in it, were many
leading members of the old Wing and Demo.
cratic parties, who have now enrolled themselves
actively on the side of Freedom. We shall look
for good report from Blackstone and the neigh
boring towns, on election day.

A SOLEMN WARNING TO HOUSE
BREAKERS.

On Tuesday morning, says the Columbia
S. G. Times of Wednesday last, Miss c.
Mordecai, q sister of Mr.. l. d. Mordecai,
was awakened by noise in her room. She
quietly slipped out of bed and lighted the
gas. She then discovered man under her
bed, and with great GOODNESS and presence
of mind stepped to the next room and called
her brother, who was the only other person
in the house. Mr.. Mordeca, with a revol
yer in his hand, called to him but he did not
reply--accidentally the pistol went off,
which startled him, and on Mr.. NJ. repeat
ing the question and getting no reply, he
shot at him i'll the act of rising. He then
saw he was negro, who answered him that
his name was Jim, and that he belonged to
Mr.. II. Lyons. The ball passed through
his lungs, and he died almost instantly.
A jury was empannelled and All inquest
held, when the following verdict was found:
THAT at the time the said wound was in
ficted, the deceased was in the dwelling
house of the said Mordecai, with intent to
commit Of accomplish burglary, las the
jury believe;) and therefore deem said l.
d. Mordecai justifable of the homicide
aforesaid, &C.

PoIITICA i.
LETTER OF
HON. Il. H.. CEHN GE9 a N,
TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.

IL 11lS CONS1 IL OIN l. ..
Mr.. CLINGMAN has replied to Letter of
the Hon. E. G.. READE, some time since
written, and published. we believe, in every
Known othing paper of the State. We copy
al. the concluding portion of Mr.. CLING
MANS Letter. After alluding to the un-
fairness of Mr.. Reade, in selecting GER
tain sentences from speech which he (NIr.
c. delivered some time since, and emitting
to give other sentences material to a correct
understanding of his remarks, Mr.. Cling
man says:
"If this sentence had been copied by my
colleague with its fellow Immediately pre-
ceding, it would have been clear to every
one, that, even at that time. was utterly
opposed to the formation of any such par
ty as he belongs to. On the contrary, /
regarded such party as more mischievous
than the abuses which / was condemning.
Those who have read the whole speech,
know to what l had reference. Nearly
twelve months previous, there had occurred
a very serious disturbance in Philadelphia,
IN consequence OF collision between some
of the foreigners and Catholics and native
citizens, during which some were killed on
both sides, and Catholic churches burnt by
the mob. In the midst of that excitement
a nativeAmerican party was formed, and
Mr.. Clay was adopted as its candidate
This circumstance, taken in connexion with
the violent war waged against the foreign
ers and Catholics, very naturally drove
most of them into opposition to Mr.. Clay.
Under the excitement of that very heated
canvass, those foreigners and Catholics
were guilty of the excuses which | con-
demned, and l did, therefore, say that if
they continue banded together, with
view of controlling the elections of the coun-
try" they would create successful oppo-
sition to the party with which they were
associated. But, in point of fact, this was

SCENE IN A CHURCH.
SLAVERY EXCITEMENT.

OnSunday night last the Episcopal church
of the Epiphany, Philadelphia, was densely
crowded to hear the rector-Rev. Dudley
A. Tyng-discourse upon the TROUBLES of
the country" He opened by denouncing
the 'outrages" in Kansas, and the present
administration. The Bulletin says:
1.-The sermon was listened to with breath
less attention, and without interruption un-
til the speaker spoke of slave breeding
rearing immortal souls (who were made for
heaven) for bondage, when DIR. Casper
Morris, formerly a church-warden, rose
from his pew, and, as one of the original
church-wardens entered his solemn protest
against the desecration of the place and
the day by such services. The preacher
continued his discourse without noticing the
interruption, and at the conclusion of his
sermon respectfully suggested to the gen
tleman who had interposed his objections,
to point out the wrong which he had com
mitted in using the Sabbath as the time
and an Episcopal pulpit as the place, for
the utterance of anti-slavery sentiments.
We should state that at the commence
ment Of the remarks of Mr.. Tying several
members of the congregation left the church.

THE CHILD AND THE DEw-DRoPs.

ooh, Father! dear father, why pass they away,
Those dew Drops that sparkIed at dawning of day,
That guered like Stars by the lght of he moon
Oh: why are those dew drops dssolving go soon
ah the sun, in It's wrath, chased their brightness
away,
As though nothing that's lovely might live for day?
The moonlight has fade d, the flowers still remain
But the dew drops have fade from the petals again.
" My chd,'' said the father, 'ook up to the skies,
Behold yon bright rainbow, those beautiful dyes!
There, there are the dew-drops, in glory reset,
Mid the jewels of heaven they're gllterIng yet.
And thus are taught, by each beautiful ray,
t. mourn not for beauty though ladIng away!
For if youth in its freshness ard beauty bo river,
Iiz-but bn. .ne from th.s earth heam brighter in

Alas, for the father! how little knew he
That the words he had spoken, prophetic could be !
That the beautiful child, the bright of his day,
Was cen Ike ihe dew-droP, dssolvng away!
Sad sad was the father, when low in The skies
The rainbow again shed its beautiful dyes;
And then he remembered the maxims he'd gwen,
And he thought Of his child aud the dew-drops in

TRAGEDY IN ELIZABETH CITY, NJ C..

The 'Norfolk Argus" states that Mr..
Spencer Sawyer, of Elizabeth City, N. c.,
was shot on Wednesday last by William
Davis. He expired in few minutes after
receiving the wound. Davis had been one
of the principal witnesses in the recent trial
of Sawy er, for shooting William Charles.
His testimony against Sawyer led to an al
tercation which has thus resulted trag;oaily.
The rencontre took place in the street, in
the presence of number of persons.
A correspondent of the Raleigh Standard
gives the following particulars of the mur-
der above referred to:
''Our town elizabeth city, has been the
scene of another homicide. This evening,
about four o'clock, Capt. Spencer Sawyer
was shot at a house he owns, and at which
he has boarded since his acquittal in April
last. He was shot by William Davis, who
was one of the principal witnesses in his
trial. 1t seems that the deceased had en-
tertained strong feelings of animosity a.
gainst the Davises, at whose house he board
ed at the time of the murder of William
Charles, last November, on account of their
statements as witnesses; !; and this morning.
while William Davis was at store on the
