There is great anxiety manifested by few
individuals to widen Water street wbero the
railr0al is laid, This would be well enough
IL the railroad would incur the expense, or il
it could he done without siddling our city with
an additional debt or expense of SIj 900, being
The sum assessed for maslag il 20 feel Jude, =
The railroaI is satisfied with its present width,
and Of course they viii pay nothing. Then
who wants it widtned2 Answer--some half
dozen individuals to be benefited by adding
10 the value Of their property, or to DO the re-
cipients of property damages. II is more than
probable II majority, or even two-thrds of tho
property holders along the street do not care
or do not wish to have IL widened. Then will
the City Council saddle tho city with an eX-
pense of 5000 when so few are benefited
Ii the railroad wants the change, let them pay,
but do not make the taxpayers pay so enOr-
nous sum when only very few individuals
are TO he benefited. The city has received
over 100000 for water tax in advance of the
usual time. 1t has been Il heavy burthen on
many to pay this water rent in advance, but it
Is now paid and it has enabled our city to pay
her floating debt and have money on hand, and
some may think it commondable to squander
it as fast as possible, but the taxpayers think
differently; they think it ought TO be husband
ed, The opinion of Mr.. Bayard has been OBJ
tanned in regard TO this matter, which will
probably cost 500, and ask who is the wiser
for it1 Nobody that can learn. Tho rail-
road has obtained and paid Tor the right to run
through our city it has done more than any
other enterprise for our general prosperity; it
is daily employing scores Of our population,
and indirectly bcneftting all. Where can a
council be found, or any considerable number
OF individuals, who would attempt to interfere
with it, while il continues to do as ii has done.
If fifteen hundred dollars must he expended,
let two moro school houses he erected In
order to regulate and improve the minds
Of the rising generation. 1t would be well for
tile people to look to this subject. Our public
servants, however wise, may go wrong unless
kept right by those who suffer and pay.

KASsAs.--A specimen Of the fairness with
which the census preparatory to the election Of
a Constitutional Convention has been taken in
Kansas, it is said that Henry ]. Adams, the
newly elected mayor Of Leavenworth, though in
the Territory long before the time fixed, is not
enrolled, and that he will not be entitled 10 a
vote at the election. What folly it would be
for free State men to attempt to vote under
such an enrolment The census list has been
made with the design Of excluding SO large a
proportion OF the ireo State settlers as to give
the pro-savery men majority and now, after
the wires are all laid, and the plans perfected,
the only thing yet wanting is to induce, by
some means, sufficient number of the free
Skaters to participate to give countcnance TO
the thing, The character of the Constitution
al Convention and of its results are all fixed,
und nothing remains but to commit the free
State men to it.

THE JuNE ELECTION IN Naturalization of
The Free STATE Msl.-The NFree State" men in
Kansas have issued an address to the people
of the United States, in which they avow their
purpose to take no part in the June election
Tor delegates to the constitutional State con-
vsntion. They allegc, as an excuse Tor thor
course, that "by the lists of qualified electors
returned by the sheritfs of the different couu-
ties thousands Of free State voters have been
ignored, willie thenames of numerous unknown
and mythical individuals are entered as squali-
fed electors All the machinery of the cleo
e iivIi is 10 DO controlled Ivy pro-slSYely pAtti-
cans, ana it would be- suicidal for the free State
party to go into an election in the face of such
odds, and with their past experience" This
decision OF the free State men renders it certain
that the constitutional convention will be pro.
slavery, and that on assembling in September
next they will form constitution suitable to
their own views. This is conceded by the free
State men, and in view of this contingency the
address says;
awe ask but that Congress may adopt the To-
peka constitution, which has already passed the
House, or that both ii and the one that will he
adopted by the pro-slavery convention in Sep
TENDER he returned to the people Of tho Terri
tory with an enabling act providing for fair
and honest vote Of the bona yfde residents. We
ask no more than this--we can ask no less
None ara more devoted TO our Union and our
constitution than the free State citizens OF * an
sas. For the institutions OF our country none
can have deeper or more loyal attachment.
But we believe tbs purity of our government
and tho institutions can only be preserved by
the admission Of Kansas as free State. =
We wish but that the slavery or freedom OF
Kansas may be settled, once forull, by an hon
est and legal vote of the actual residents, in
accordance with the principles Of the org mic
act.''
Among the names signed to the address are
those of J. b. McAtee, Of Maryland j. A
Wakefield, Of South Carolina; H. Miles Moore
of Mss. j. II. KaAs, of Virginia Prot. " .
Oakley, OF Delaware, and a. A. Griffin, OF
Ga.
Letters from Kansas alege that the deputies
employed irStaliing the census meet with much
opposition from the free State men, who refuse
to give their names, with the view Of keeping
them of the voting list, and thus permit the
election to go by default. In Douglass coun'
ty 1896 voters have been registered in Lea
venworth county LOO, and in Johnston about
800, a large majority in each being pro-slave.

On. HIRAM Cox, chemical inspector of alco-
holc liquors in Cincinnati, states, in an address
to his fsllow-citiEens, that during two years he
has made 2i9 inspections of various kinds of
liquors, and has found more than nino -tenths
of them limitations, and great portion of them
poisonous connections. OF brandy he does
not believe there is one gallon of pure in a
hundred gallons, the limitations having corn
whiskey tor a basis, and various poisonous
acids for the condiments. OF wines not gal
lon in thousand, purporting to be sherry, port,
sweet Malaga, &C., is pure, but they are made
of water, sulphuric acid, alum, Guinea pepper,
horse rldish, &C., and many of them without n
single drop of alcoholic spirit DR.. Cox war
rants there are not ton gallons of genuine port
wine in Cincinnati. In his inspections of whs-
hey he has found only from II to 20 per cent.
of alcoholic spirits, when 1t should have 45 to
50, and some of it contains sulphuric acid
enough in a quart to eat hOlo through man 5
stomach.

Advices from Washington city say that the
Dallas Clarendon treaty, as amended by the
President and Senate, has been rejected sum
marily by the British government as being un-
satisfactory. This news appears to be anthem
tic, and, oddly enough, seems to have surpris-
ed our administration. Then our relations with
England on the Central American question are
all At sea again.

For the Delaware Republican.


What lamentabe weakness it appears to
be in mankind in general, that greatness can
not have the reward it so truly merits, during
the life Of the orator. True greatness is al
ways acknowledged indirectly by all, and yet
party spirit will get the better of mems Judge
ment and fOolishly allow them to deny to the
living what they are all so eager to bestow on
the memoT Of tho same individual when
dead.
What man within the reach of modern date
embodied within his composition, so much of
the elements of true greatness, as that patriot
ic statesman and true orator, Henry Clay and
yet none was more numerically abused.
Some men are great and useful in cases Of
emergency, and can exert themselves in pro-
portion to the difficulties with which they are
Immediately surrounded, and this class Of
men are few in number in all countries. Tho
great and truly useful men in democratic
form of government are those who can see the
dangers Of the future, which will befal their
their country, by using their Judgment, on the
events Of the past. Anl while their patriotism
keeps live their thinking faculties, they have
ever at heart, the best interests of their COM
mon country. No man could stretch out with
loltier height to meet tho greatest crisis than
tho mind and will Of Mr.. Clay, whose patriotic
ardor would grasp with tho ilrmness of adamant
the most difficult position in the contests OF
States, or nations. This illustrious statesman
had all the true oratory OF Cicero, and the elo-
quenco of Demosthenes. Was it in on the
hustings his elOquence was as great as when
he lead the phalanx of tho Senate House in
full array against the most determined opposi-
tion1 Was it in setting forth the interests of
the American manufacturers, and supporting
the labor, and Operative industry Of tho
country at largei His efforts on all such
occasions, were ono continued flow of pure
and patriotic eloquence for tho benefit OF the
- 1T
was horn with him; there was a love OF country
mingng with all his thoughts and actions, sell
flshness could find no room in his heart, and
no abuse, however virulent, and unmerited
could for moment, warp his judgement, or
damp the ardor Of his oratoricalpowers. On ev-
cry occasion, where he had an opportunity to
speak. There was the same display of Ameri-
canism with a flow of orstory and eloquence,
never combined in tho composition of ono in
diYidual in modern times. CUNO.

FROM JAMAtCA-CAPTuRE OF AN AMERICAN
SLAvER.-HORRBLE SGENEs on BoARD.-We
learn from the Kingston Journal OF the 23d :,
That on the 9th Of April, ii. B. N. brig came
INTO st. AIMS Bay, having in tow an American
schooner with 373 slages on J0ard from Africa
bound for Cuba. The name Of the schooner il
not given.
Great excitement prevailed at St. AIMS in
consequence of the affair. 1t was rumored
that another SLAYER was of the coast from Az
iiea, and British steamer had started in pur-
suit.
On boarding the schooner, horrible scene
presented itself. The captives were in most
wretched condition, all of them were naked and
majority of them were on the verge of star
walton They were packed very closely to-
gether, and covered with yGrmin, and it is
stated that l37 Of the miserable captves had
died on the voyage.
AMERICAN COLONIZATION SocEETY.-The re-
ceipts OF this society for the month ending the
Goth nit, amounted to S3S,67 "a, including d
donation from David Hunt, Esq, of Mississippi
and sl2,534 90 from the proceeds of the sale
Of the estate Of the late John McDonogh, of
New orleans, being the first payment on the
legacy loft by him. The society's ship, the
Mary Caroline Stevens will sail from Baltimore,
for Liberia on the 10th instant.
AN ITEM FoR On BuCK.-On Wednesday
night, at the opera, Col. Fremont, and EXPIRE
Sident Fillmore sat side by side in front seat,
listening to Gaz2aniga in 'sNorma,' apparent
ly entirely forgcttul that there had been Pre-
sidental election last fall. If Mr. Buchanan
could have looked in and seen how pertectlv
satisfied and placid these two rivals Of his APP
peared in their defeat, we are not sure but that
he would have enyled them their happy escape
from the tolls and troubles of the White
uonsc.-PhiiadciphiG Sun.

Effect or RAILHoADs.-It is mentioned as
anoteworthy fact, in illustrating the influence
OF railroads on roal estate, that the eight coun-
ties in Virginia Immediately penetrated and
influenced by the Virginia and Tennessee rail-
road, vz:-Bedford, Roanoke, Montgomery,
Pulaski, Wythe, Smith, Washington and Scott,
show an increase of 50, 1916, $50, their aggregate
land value in 1850 having been S14, All, 059,
and now being s23,S22,72S. Tho adjoining
counties, watch have been moro remotely in.
huenced by the road, show like increase, and
give, with those named, total increase OF
S20,O0O,OOO. The same also is true with al.
most every other prominent line of railroad in
the country.
