NE. oamuels' Bpeech

On Friday last We published the
speech of Ben NJ. Samuels, delivered a,
Dubuque, in which he briefly consid
cred the several subjects that will be
discussed in the pending canvass, and
boldly defined his position. We desire
every voter to read this speech care
fully, for it contains sentiments honor
ed by democrats Of all the States since
the adoption Of the Federal Constitu-
ton. The principles Mr.. Samucls
discussed without reserve, aud we defy
even the libellcrs of the Gazette to find
any Inconsistency in the speech. 1t is
a complete epitome Of what the Dem
Ocrscy Of the State will sanction. and
what it will oppose. We shall publish
this speech in our Weekly and hope
that every democrat will have it in his
pocket, to thrust into the faces of those
INSCRIPTIONS Black Republicans who
will not fail to misreprcsent Mr.. Samu-
els wherever they think they can do so
without detection. Mr.. Samucls could
not have more happily spoken, than
he has done in this speech, and Judge
Lowe might as will prepare for the
contest with all his armor on, so that
when he meets this Young lion, he may
not he literally annihilated.

press their unalterablc determination to al

pointed toward setting that Government in
motion In legitimate manner at an early
day.
The above is one Of the resolutions
passed at the Grass Hopper Falls Abo'

shrikcn. The "Topcka Constitution
and Government" is to be adhered to,
in all events; the Territorial Act and
laws are to be resisted, at ali times; and
this treason is backed up by the whole
pack Of treason breeding Journals in
the Black Republican party, who so
6ercely denounce Brigham Young, for
has treason and his defiance Of law, and
call loudly for troops to reduce him to

troops designed for the Utah rebels,
clean out and weed out the rebels along
their route, commencing in Kansas
with Jim Lane and his cut throats, and
then marching to Utah to subdue
Young and his nulli6ers. Young says
Ne 10 Govesaor BY divine right. Rob
inson says he is governor BY right Of

in rebellion, to put down Young and
his rebels hundreds Of miles inland

Our neighbor Of the Gazette, is like

WONDERFUL AFrEcrIoN.-The af-
fcctionate disposition of the African
never received nobler exemplication
than in the following incident, vouched
for by the Washington Union:
On Sunday morning last an intcres-
ting and lovely child, little over a
year old, of Mr.. Paulus Thyson, in this
city, died after few days illness. The
nurse, negro slave, who was devoted
ly attached to her little charge, was
present when its angel spirit took its
flight to happier realms, and was so
completely stricken down with grief
and anguish that she had to be borne
away from the chamber of death, al
most in state OF insensibllity. Every
care and attention was immediately
lavished upon this faithful slave that a
good master and mistress could bestow.
A physician was called in, and all the
relief his art could render was united
to the tender solicitude of her masters
family. 1t was in vain, however, for
before the infants corpse was removed
from the house, the spirit Of the faith
full nurse had taken its flight from this
earth. The remains Of this devoted slave
were on Tuesday followed to the grave
by the members Of the family she had
so faithfully served, with every suitable
d. Of respect and sorrow.
The deceased was not over thirty years
Of age.

upon about a. strong . representation
of Pandemonium rs We ever expect to
witness. The dancing party had been
interrupted in the midst Of their hilari
~ by the sudden entrance through the
side Of the cabin of the vessels jib
boon, at a distance of some twenty feet
aft of the forward end.
As the boats closed up together, the
whole side OF the cabin was torn from
its place, as far eft as the engine, to-
gether with part Of the roof. This
left the whole party exposed to the
open air on the sides. The side Of the
boat between the upper and lower
decks was also torn Oft to nearly the

thus employed were busy screaming
with all their might. There mnst have
been at least hundred and fly per-
SONS in the forward cabin at the time
of the entrance Of the vessels jib boon,
and the effect of the interru ption may
be much better imagined than dcscri'
bed. Although no one was severely
injured, yet the escape must he consid.
cred as almost miraculous. The cabin
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
and the very seats that were occupied
by some fifty or sixty persons were
torn from their places and rent into
pieces by the shock. One lady receiv.
cal some scratches from splinter, and
a great many tainted, beyond which no
harm was done.
