THE LAUNcH.-On Saturday last the
schooner Blue Bell was launched from the
ship-yard at Ferrysburg, owned by Capt.
JAMES DALTON. She has been rebuilt from
keel to rail and the whole work has been done
in thorough, workmanlike manner, under
the direction and planning of THOMAS Nc
CARTY, master builder.
That Grand River is the point on this Lake
we are more convinced of now than ever
With position nearly central of the length
of Lake Michigan, the best harbor on the
Lake, the outlet Of river draining eight
counties, and an unlimited amount of the
best oak for building purposes, convenient for
hauling to the river and to float down to
ship-yards, mills as good as any in the Unit
ed States, for saving and preparing the tim
Der and plank for use, and positions to be had
most admirably adapted for docks, railways
and yards.
All we ask now, is, that the right kind of
men will look at this matter and visit this
place and take hold of such inducements as
are now being held out to ship-builders, and
our river will soon be noted for the number
as well as for qualities of vessels built of the
Grand River Oak. At the ship-yard, at
Ferysburg, there has already been built three
fine, new vessels, and one steamer. The
Telegraph, Magic, Experiment, and steam
er Olive Branch. The Geo. G. Dreac, THO
Charles, and Blue Bell, thoroughly rebuilt,
besides flat boats and scows, not few. There
is now building, under the direction of WIN.
M. FERRY, Jr, fine boat, to be used for
steam ferry boat between Mill Point, Ferrys-
burg and Grand Haven-WM. HAYDEN, mas
ter builder. The engine and machinery from
the Ottawa Iron Works.

mite, or convention, Or individual, ever pre-
sented, in a proper and legal manner, to the
Court necessary and competent to decide it,
the question of the validity Of that Legisla-
lature, and the binding force of its enact
ments? Never, NEVER! And now, aft
er living under its laws for three years, and
acknowledging them (being compelled, we
will admit, in some instances, to do SOY, never
having legally tested its validity, they refuse
to vote under fair election law it has passed,
and refuse to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered to GUST corrupt Legislature,
by forming State Constitution and electing
a new one upon its adoption. Admit that
the Legislature was not Of their choosing,
that it was forced upon them, still it has been
recognized by the General Government and
by themselves in many instances, and resist
ing they resist the whole force of the Govern
ment. If they have the majority claimed,
are not the Pro-Slavery men caught in their
own trap, under the present election law?
and have not the Free State men now an
opportunity of crushing them in such man
ner as to settle the question forever? No
fault can be found with the law; it is as well
guarded, as liberal and just in its provisions
as any ever passed by legislative body; and
the refusal of Free State men to vote under
it, will prove by combinations strong as
holy writ" that they are more anxious to sub
serve party interest than the cause of free
dom. Here is the secret Of their refusal
knowing, as they do, that the control Of the
election is with them. They won't vote be-
cause then the prophecy of Republican lead
ers that Kansas was sold to slavery would be
proven false; because then the predictions of
Democrats that Kansas must be free State,
by force of natural laws, would be proven
true; because then bleeding" Kansas could
no longer be used by demagogues to pro-
mote sympathy with Abolitionism; because
then the political leaders of sectionalism and
fanaticism would lose their chief support
and die swift and shameful death. Wheth-
er the Free State men in Kansas vote or not,
their doom is the same, for if they do not
vote then it will be seen that rather than
stop an agitation which was helping them as
partizans, these Liberty Loving, Freedom
Shriekes have, with cool hypocrisy, betray-
ed their cause on the soil where, they aver,
its last battle is to be fought and given Kan
sas to slavery. To vote kills; not to vote
dainns them.

/ believe in woman's right to keep silence
in public assemblies, and to leave the task of
public instruction to those better fitted by
nature and circumstances to fulfil that impor-
tant duty.
/ believe that most women, if they listen
reverently for the voice of God and nature in
their own souls, will find themselves drawn
rather to acts of love and mercy in private
or domestic life, than to grand public schemes
for ameliorating the condition Of the race.

sistant to man.

reservedly to her husband in everything, save
in matters of conscience between God and
her own soul.
l believe in mans right to love his wife
even as himself to regard her interest and

her as the apple Of his eyes.

A PREVENTATIVE TO THE FEVER AND
AouE.-Lieut. MAuRY, of the National OBJ
servatory- at Washington, states that he has
discovered an infallible antidote to the fever
and ague in districts exposed to malarial in
fluence, arising from the proximity of stag
nant pools or ponds of water. 1t consists in
planting row of sun flowers near the dwell
ing, and between it and the water. The sun
flower absorbs the malaria which arises chief
ly during the night, and thus effectually pre-
vents the deleterions influence that might
otherwise be exerted upon the human system.
If this is in reality preventative to that un-
welcome and protracted malady, the expert
ment will cost but little to those exposed
thereto.

HOME TRUTHS FROM THE "HoME JOUR
NAL."-The following condensed opinion Of
woman's rights" will remain true and in full
force long after the feminine misanthropists Of
the day shall have been forgotten:
l believe in woman as the equal of man,
in that she equally with him was created in
the image of our Creator. And l believe
that the dignity and worth of human nature
consist in this likeness to God, so essentially
and only, that after this all other distinctions
fade and are lost.
I believe that woman is inferior in position
to man, in that she was created after him, for
him, and dependant upon him.
believe that man possesses strength and
comprehensiveness of intellect, which enables
him to grasp vast and complicated subject,
and reveal its intricate relations, which wo-
man can only comprehend after they are once
unraveled.
/ believe that many women surpass many
men in intellect.
l believe that many men surpass many wo-
men in feeling.
l believe that neither the vigor of mans
intellect, nor the accuracy of woman's tact,
can avail to preserve them from error if the
will be not bowed before the DEGREES of God.
l believe in woman's right to careful devel-
opment and cultivation of all her natural
powers and capabilities, 80 as to render her in
the highest degree intelligent, useful, and hap
py in the sphere which God has assigned to her.

ment." Said he, "Come in here along
with me come in and see my wife,"
/ went in and stood by her bedside.
The face was ghostly pale, the eyes
large, and sunk deep in their sockets ;
and with her long thin, and bony fin
gers She grasped my hand, and with
the other took the hand of her husband,
and began to tell me what good hus.
j. ind shc had Luke" said she, lis
"a kind husband and good father; he
takes care Of the children, and is very
kind to them; but the drink Oh! the
drink makes terrible difficulty" That
difficulty God only, and the crushed
wife OF the Incorporate man know
anything about it.
The man shook like leaf; he
snatched the hand from the grasp Of
his wife, tore down her night dress
from the shoulders, and said, "Look
at that !" and on the white, thin neck,
close to the shoulders, was blue
mark. Said he, "Look at that |" and
when l saw the mark of a bruise,
felt my flesh creep. "Look at that,
sir! ! did it three days before she
was taken down upon the bed; and
she has told you that she has good
husband. Am /? Am l good hus-
band to her? God Almighty forgive
me /" and he bowed over that woman
and wept like child, gripped the bed
clothes in his hands and hid his face
in them. And she laid her thin hand
upon his head, and said, "Don't cry,
Luke /; don't, please don't; you would
not have struck me if it had not been
for the drink. Mr. Cough, don't be-
lieve him 6; he is as good man as
ever lived +! Don't cry Luke"

TIE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION. cours, /
there is great hurrah made by the papers
Of the Foreign party about their victory in
Philadelphia on Tuesday, The Ledger, how
ever, which has always been favorable to To-
eofocoism says in regard to it:
The Ward elections did not excite much
interest Yesterday, and the vote is, therefore
very small one. The Americans and Re
publicans, although they had candidates in
the field, gave them q very indifferent support
and seemed by common consent to leave the
field to the Democrats, who will have the
sway in the next Councils and the burden of
carrying the city through another year of
embarrassed finances, without the ability 70
add anything to the present rate of taxation
There was but little to stimulate mere parti-
san feeling in the contest yesterday. There
were no party principles involved, and no
prospect Of getting the city patronage or dis
tribntion of offices out Of the hands of the
Democrats for at least another year. The op.
position to the present government therefore,
husbanded their resources for the municipal
election in 1883 when the term of Mayo,
Vaux expires, and there will be prospect OF
getting al! the police and other appointments
