PRIME.
BY JOHN SAKE.


IT'S a curious fact as ever was known,
But often in human nature shown,
Alike in the castle AMI cottage,
That pride, like pigs of certain brood,
illmanage TO live and thrive on food
As poor as pauper pottagel
OF all the notable things on earth,
The quecrest thing is the pride of birth,
Among our "ferce democracy"
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save ii from sneers--
Not even couple ofrotten piers
A thing for laughter, filings and jcors,
Is American oristocracy!
Depend upon il, snobbish friend
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason 10 apprehend e..
You may find il waxed at the other end
By some plebian vocation!
Or worse than that, your boosted line
May end in loop of stronger Irvine,
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs
Do not be naughty and put on airs,
With lnsolent pride of station!
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake Of your minds repc
That all proud flesh, wherever it grows,
Is subject 10 irritation!

THE LITTLE FLOWER.
a LEGEND OF HOLLAND.

A little child died, and the guar
dian angel was bearing its soul toI
heaven. Already they had passed
the busy city, the fields Of ripe corn,
the forest where resounded the
woodman's axe, the canals where
glIded the laden vessels, and the an
gel had not looked upon them; but
when they came to a poor village,
he hov cred over it and looked into
a dark alley, running through clus-
ter Of decayed huts. There was
grass growing through the stones;
there was broken pottery, and damp
straw, and piles of cinders and ashes
thrown out. The angel looked
long at tie deserted spot, when, es-
plying suddenly pale flower in the
ruins, which had opened in the
shade, he gave a cry of joy, stopped
from the air, and plucked it.
sThe soul of the dead child asked
him why he had stopped for a sim
gle field flower, without beauty or
fragrance.
"Thou seest at the bottom of
this alley cabin, with the roof bro
ken by the SHOWS, and its walls
scanned by the rain. There lived
once child of thy age, afflicted
from his birth. When he Quilted
his little straw bed, leaning on his
willow clutches, he went two or
three times up and down the alley
1t was all. He had never seen
the sun but from his window
When the Summer brought back its
bright rays the afflicted creature
came and sat in their light; he look
ed at the blood circulating feebly in
his thin hands and said i am better ;
Never had he seen the green of the
meadows Or the forest, only the lit
tie children sometimes brought him
branches of the poplar, which he
laid around him on his bed. Then
he would dream that he was lying
in the shade of the woods, that the
sunshine was dancing through the
leaves, and the birds singing around
One day his Oldest sister brought
him little field flower, with its
root. He planted it in an old earth
en- pot, and God prospered the plant
tended by the weak hand. 1t was
the sick child's garden; the little
flower was to him the meadows. the
woods, the waters, the CREATION
AS long as he liv:d he nursed it
He gave it all the air and the sun.

But when God called away the lit
tie martyr, his family quilted thu
village, the alley was abandoned
and the simple flower surrounded
with ruins. Then the providence
of God preserved it where I hay,

"Who told you all that" deman

WISCONSIN is Free.

The late Convention of the Republican
party of Wisconsin passed the following
resolutions:
ssThat, whoever treads the soil of Wis
coHsin is FREE, and whoever undertakes to
enslaye any of her inhabitants, shall be vis-
tied with the seyerest penalties -
'.That the proper Office and duty of gov
ernment is to protect mems rights, not to
subvert them; to expose and punish crime,
and not to uphold it; and that as slavery is
crime against humanity, of the deepest
dye, it can no more be coNsTITUTfoEALIzED
or LOCALIZED than theft, robbery or MUIR

The Triumph in Missouri.

The election of James S. Rollins as Gov.
of Missouri is now reported by telegraph.
The returns were not all in at St. Louis on
Tuesday, but his majority was estimated at
1900. Unless false returns have been re-
ported IN order to win bets, he can hardly
be defeated.
This is the most important political event
of the year st. Louis preluded it last
Spring, by choosing Mayor avowedly fa-
voring Emancipation and supported express
ly on that ground. Maj. Rollins position
was hardly more equivocal. He is an old
fashioned Clay Wing in politics, and has
recently acted with the American party
He ran, however, in this canvass, as an In
dependent, supported by the great body OF
the Americans and also of the Emancipa-
tionists. He declared ON the stump that he
held the question of retaining or abolishing
Slavery in Missouri an open one, to be de-
termined by consideration of public interest,
and open to discussion like any other sub
ject affecting the public welfare. He made
this a prominent topic in his speeches, dis
cussing it with a decided leaning toward
Gradual Emancipation. Hence, many Pro-
slavery Americans went against him, tho
he is now STAKEHOLDER, while his compet-
itor is not; while many of the Germans,
who are jealous Emancipationists, declined
to support him because of his Americanism.
Some of them went against him, but more
declined to vote at all; while the ST. Louis
Republican, the old Wing organ, did its
utmost for Stewart. The fact that Rollins,
as member of the Legislature, had voted
for stringent Temperance bill, tended still
further to ALLEVIATE the Germans. Many of
these voted last Fall for Fillmore, heading
their ballot ssProtest," to mark their detes-
tation of the Pro-slavery attitude of the
National Democracy" yet Buchanan had
nearly 10000 majority on very full vote.
We apprehended, therefore, that Stewart's
election could not be prevented. But the
BorderRuffian outrages in Kanzas have dis
gusted the better portion of the Missouri
ans; hence Rollins vote is quite large in the
Border Counties. The heavy emigration
to Kanzas passes through the whole length
of Missouri, whose cheap, unwasted lands
proffer attractions to the settler which only
Slavery could overbear. But the Emanci-
patton triumph last Spring in st. Louis
gave cheering assurance that Slavery would
not always lord it over this fair portion OF
Gods heritage, and induced thousands to
rush in and buy while lands worth $95 per
acre in the newer adjacent portion of Iowa
could be bought for $5 or 10 in Northern
Missouri. The impulse thus given to set
tlement and improvement will continue to
be felt until slavery shall have evacuated
the State-N 7. Iribune.

Slavery Agitation in Oregon.

Oregon is conyulsed by slavery agita-
ton, in spite of her high nothern latitude.
Briefy-the s.National Democracy" is full
ly in power therein, and is, there as every
where. q Pro-Slayery party. It has Just
chosen Convention to frame State Con
stitution, and that Convention is about as
strongly Pro-slavery as Democratic. Lit
tie doubt remains that the Convention will
frame clause making Oregon Slave State,
and submit it separately to the People. By
them, however, it viii pretty surely be vot-
ed down-all the Republicans and minor
ity of the Democrats voting against it. The
Democratic leaders viii, however. have ac-
complished one of their main obiects-they
win have commended themselves to the IA
vor of the ruling power at Washington as
eminently conservative and National, and
they win probably secure some fat Offices as
the reward of their jealous though unsuc-
cessful efforts.-N r 7Fi6une.

The Cunningham Affair.

The notorious Mrs. Cunningham, alias
Burdell, is in fair way to get board and
lodging at the expense of the State. This
tragedy is likely to end in comedy. The
last act is peculiarly rich. Mrs. c. claims
to be the lawful wife Of the murdered Bur
dell, and to make assurance doubly sure, -
it became necessary that she should have an
heir by him. Accordingly Mrs. c. gave
out that she was enceinte by the Dr., and in
due time fine little boy was shown as the
child of DR.. Burdell, and the heir to his
property. But one of her physicians put a
damper on the whole affair by informing the
officers of the law. The plan was to bor-
row child for the occasion, which was done
from one of the public charities. The affair
was allowed to proceed, the child was OBJ
tanned, dressed in fine clothing, as became
the ssheir apparent of the Burdell estate.
Mrs. c. was very sick, with the child by her
side, when the officers appeared, the bogus
mother was arrested, and the bogus child
sent back to its true mother.
Thus, Mrs. G. had her labor for her
pains, and is likely to have berth at Sing
Sing in the bargain. What the next move
is to be in this disgusting affair, remains yet
to be seen.

Death of Ex-secretary pobbin.

The Democratic party has lost another
of its prominent men. James G. Dobbin,
Secretary of the Navy, during the whole of
President Pierce's term, died on Tuesday,
August 4th, at his residence In Fayetteville,
North Carolina. Mr.. Dobbin was an able
and an amiable man. He was educated for
the bar, and practiced with distinction at
Fayetteville. He was member of Con-
gress (1845-47), but that was the only
term that he served. He was Speaker of
the House of Commons of North Carolina
in 1853, and was the regular Democratic
candidate for United States Senator at the
same session; but he was defeated When
Mr.. Pierce became President, he rewarded
him for his services and sacrifices by giving
him the Office of Secretary of the Navy
His administration of that Office was ex-
cellent, and he was instrumental in bringing
about number of reforms. His health
has been delicate for long time, assdsths
news of his death was not unexpected. Mr..
Debbin was only about fifty years ef age

Minnesota--Third Week of the Con-
stitutional Convention.

We again call the attention of the people
to the fact that the third week of the session
of the Constitutional Convention will close
tomorrow, and as yet there is no sign of
yielding on the part of the factious minoTi-
ty who meet once day In the Council
Chamber. They have raised the last man
they can procure on any pretext, to take part
in their illegal deliberations, and they only
number ffty-four-just one-half of the
number of members which they claim that
the Convention consists of. Thus they
have met and adjourned doing nothing from
day to day. There they are with six Penn
bina men seated as Delegates" two of
whom never received vote for the place
which they hold, and the third resident of
Hennepin county.
They have finally concluded 10 go on with
this fifty -four-being Tess than = quorum
and make a Constitution. Judge Flandreau
shakes his governmental gold at the Repub
licans, and brags that the administration
and Congress are on their side, and viii
sanction their Constitution let what may hap
pen. These men, in fact, care not what the
people of Minnesota think of their course.
Their reliance is upon Government money
and Government rascality.
The legally organized Convention is still
hard at work, and progressing rapidly with
its business. 1t almost seems that its mem
bers will have their Constitution completed
and before the people before the bogusites
commence work The minority worthies
may rest assured that they have got them
selves into moral warfare with their oppo-
nents, and there will be no letting up on
that side.-dfinneSotidn, July 31St
