SLAVE STATE FRArERSIzING WITH THE NORTH.
The Norfolk Argus of late date in the follow
ing paragraph points out serious break in the
Northern line of the defence of slavery:
Maryland, by position and interest, is not ell
titled to be classed among the slave States. Her
politics show that her press is fast bringing
about determination between her and the free
States, called. On each side Of the Bay her
people are sound, but north and west of Balti-
more, there is but shade OF difference between
the inhabitants of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
1t is through Maryland that most of the slaves
now escape from Virginia. Her laws on this
subject are wholly Intellectual, and public opin
ion will not tolerate one that is worth straw.

As an illustration of the abuses and extraya
gances at Washington, We find that Congress
has appropriated trenty-seven thousand dollars
more than the whole salary OF the President
for lighting the Presidents house and the
grounds for the year 1857. That is, they give
Mr.. buchanan more to buy his candles, than he
is allowed to feed and clothe his whole house,
hold and maintain the external dignity and pro.
prieties of his office. The people, who pay for
so much light, ought to have an enlightened Adj
ministraton, and such wasteful acts oush, to
reflect some light upon the character Of the men
who represent US in Congress, and hold the
purse strings. Mr.. Buchanan at the time, be-
longed to the party that condemned ]. Q. Adj

published at Macomb in McDonough county,
says that quite hubbub was kicked up in that
quiet little town, on Wednesday Of last week.
by the eIopement of Mr.. VIM. Z. Owens with
his wifes sister, Miss Julia Tungate. Mr.. Owens
was horse and cattle dealer. The day before
he left he borrowed all the money he possibly
could from his acquaintances in town, promis-
ing to return it next day; in the evening he
borrowed a buggy, and span of horses from
friend, and during the night, lifted the fair but
frail Julia out of her bedroom window, placed
her in the borrowed buggy, and drove off at the
best speed of the borrowed horses. The guilty
pair were followed, overtaken at Pennington,
Iowa, and arrested st their room at hotel
where they had retired for the night. They

was restored to her friends, and the gentleman

At that time the boys and girls we're kept in one
apartment, only the middle aisle separating
| them. One day this Vermont stripping who had
just been helping one of the girls througha hard
sum, thought. it not more than fair that he
should take toll for his services; accordingly he
| threw his stalwart arm around the rosy damsel
| and gave her sly but rousing smack which
startled the whole assembly.
'Jedediah Tower, come up hore!" roared out
! the preceptor.

with bushes like red hot warming pai,,-and

| "Hold out your hand, sir" said the peda-
gogue. I'll teach you not to act thus in this

| The huge paw was extended in horizontal
line towards the instructor, who surveyed its
broad surface with mathematical eye,--calcu-
lating how many strokes of his small ferule it
would take to cover the large number Of square
inches which it contained.
"Jedediah,' at length he said, ''this is the
first time that you have been called up for any
delinquency; now sir, if you will say that you
are sorry for what you have done, I will let you
off this time without punishment"
Sorry" exclaimed the youngstcr, striking an
attitude of pride and indignation; "sorry! No,
sir! l am not. And l will do jest so agin eff

ton OF these persons as they appeared in tic

Daring the preliminary proceedings, Mrs.
Cunningham and her two daug hters, Helen aud
Augusta, were seated behind the railing on the
right hand of the Judge. They were richly bui
plainly dressed in mourning gsrb. Mrs. Cum
ningham wore black silk. All the three
ladies wore impenetrable brown wells, which
were never for moment removed, and sat i'm
movable, with q downcast air. A lady friend OF
the family sat with them,
John j. Echle occupied a seat wthiE the bar
behind his counsel He was genteey dressed,
in plain black sui, and black cravat, and wears
n rich set of shirt studs. On the little finger OF
his left hand CLEANS valuable ring. His beard
and moustacAe are full and black, and he wears
handsome brown wig or toupee. He converses
freely and cheerfully with his counsel and other
friends around him, and apparently regards the
whole proceeding with the Indifference of one
conscious OF his innocence. His long imprison-
ment does not seem to have worn upon him,
and no one looking upon his placid and rather
prepossessing features and mild hazel eye, can
well imagine him to have been guilty of the
terrible murder with which he stands charged.
His stature is rather light, and features are
smaller and more delicately formed than was
represented in the engraving.
