payne's Chief Sham.

The Cleveland Leader says that Payne
eclared. "to take the negro from Africa
and en.lpye him in the South, was all dci OF
h,nqnitg, in~smuch as he was thereby
Jrouchi under tie influence OF CHRISTIANITY
and CIvILIzATIos :"
This is the great sham of all such men.
I, follows, Of course, that the more negroes
we can bring from Africa, and make slaves
OF, the better! The Southern Convention
passed a resolution in feyor of the Slave
Trade; and Payne is supporting it in OHIO
That is right Let the Sham Democracy
take their seats in the car where they be-
l0ng.-O. $. Jour.
This beats the extrenes, nullifier. II
WAS reserved for Sir. PAYNE to advocate
the Slave Trade upon the grounds OF hV
zaanity. The Christian nations have leem
ed the traffic in slaves worthy of DEATH
Mr. PAYNE, on the contrary, would have i
rev viyed, not for gain, not because he want:
more Uegroes 10 till our fields, but TO bettel
,he condition # the poor African. HI
wou ID license traders to go to Africa, ant
steal negroes, sud against their will bring
them TO the United States and sell then
into Slavery, to christianise them. For thi
coeen; argument for the revival of the slav'
Trade, Mr. PAYNE, after the election
should have first class appointment from
The President.

The Locofcco Nominee for Board
of Public Works.

The Toledo Blade, printed at the home
Of A. l.. Backus, locofoco nominee tor
Member of the Board ofPublic Works, thu.
speaks of the antecedents of that gentle
mar, in connection with the canals:
But the most significant nomination is
that of A. l.. Backus, of this county. He
is not only Douglas man but the nomine g
of the corruptionisis. H. represents, in
tha State ticket, the Bresiin interest, which
was SO largely predominant in the late ad-
ministration, and is put forward as the can
ditate of these patriots who were SO very
anxious to serve the State in keeping the
canals in repair, at double pay. He was Of
the firm of Dickey & Co., who were to re-
ceive $4,000 for wit drawing their bid, put
in on No. 6 oi the canal lettings, because
he thought he would make more money
that way than BY keeping the contract; and
the State is thereby made to pay the sum
of S32 200 instead of $4,000; the amount
of his bid. So the State lost $1,000 per
year, and Mr.. Backus and his firm made
$4,000. His financIering in the Board of
Public Works may be guessed at.

A Great Pedestrian Feat.

At fifteen minutes past two o'clock on
Tuesday morning last JAMES LAMBERT, the
English pedestrian completed the unnat-
ural feat of walking one THOUSAND miles in
one thousand consecutive hours for wager,
at Stewards gymnasium, in Boston.
The feat was begun on Tuesday, July 28,
at 10 A. NJ, and since that time Mr.. Lam
bert has not failed to walk one mile in every
hour that has elapsed. At first it was an
easy matter, and he was in the habit OF
walking two miles consecutively, beginning
at the latter part OF one hour and walking
for part of the next, thus obtaining an in
termissIon O # a bout ar hour and half. But
after while tired nature began to require
rest, and he was fain to yield to her demands
at the end of each mile As he went on he
became more and more tired; his muscles
began to swell and give h i'm pain; he slept
very soundly in the intervals OF his task;
and the belief became prevalent that he
could not endure to the end. 1t was neces-
sary to use great drum and other very loud
noises to awaken him, and his walk was
mere like the insenjble action of machine
than the inspired movements of a human
beng. During the last few hours he re-
CURED some assistance in turning the corn
ers OF his path; and whereas at first he
sould accomplish mile in twelve or fifteen
minutes, it now took him half an hour or
more. On the last night the hail was filed
Ia 70, tl,
sion of the task, and brass band was in at
tendance TO cheer the spirits of the pedes-
