OUR NEXT l. :. SENATOR.

MEssRs Rs:-Since the death of that bold
and ever watchful public servant the Hon. A. p.
Butler, politicians, as well as newspaper Editors,
have been busted in their efforts to point out q
successor, one calculated to meet their highest
expectations. This being fact, l cannot i'm.
agine why the retired illcr of the soil should not
express his wish and claim that privilege which
is generally enjoyed by others.
Althoug h am thorough going Secessionist,
(Nulliier il you please, and opposed to Ma.
tional Caucusscs or Nominating Conventions, I
AM impressed with the propricty Of leaving the
State in the kand Of that party to which it was
surrendered in 1852, and if possible aid the
members of that party 10 work out the problem
of our future existence and Sovereignty.
am entirely opposed to the formation of op-
posing parties when principles are no,inyolved,
;lili it is 10 be hopel that gentleman who conf
hincs purity Of character, ability as statesman,
;lud vi unoubted courage, will be selected to fill
lhe vacancy in the U. 5. Senate. Although am
not, nor have been, an adnrrer Of the principles
Of the National Democratic party, yet will not
hesitate in declaring what know is the sentimen.
of many leading States Rights Democrats, that
the Hon +. W. Pickens is admirably qualified,
aud will receive their unwayerng support.

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE.

We find in the Washington Daily Union thu
following correspondence, which speaks for it.
self. The arrogance and ilnpertinence of tht
ntermeddling Abolitionists are properly rebuk
ed bv the President, and in manner highly
| dgnfed and worthygo of his high office. II
should satisfy all tuat Mr.. Buchanan is fully
impressed with his sense Of obligation to the
confederacy, and intends to act up to his duty
TO his Erctllency James Buchanan, President O
the United Sia'es:: g.
The undersigned, citizens OF the United
States, and electors of the State of Connecticut
respectfully offer to your Excellency this their
memorial:
The fundamental principle of the constitution
of the United States and OF our political inSti-
tutlons is, that the people shall make their own
laws and elect their own rulers.
We sec with grief, if not with astonishment,
that Gov. Walker, Of Kansas, OPENLY represents
and proclaimS that the President Of the United
States is employing through him All army. one
purpose of wlchlis to force the people OF Kan
sas to obey laws not their own, nor Of the
United States but law: which it is notorious,
and established upon evidence, they never made
and rulers they never elected.
We represent, therefore, that by the forego-
ing your exccllency Is openly held up and pro.
claimed, to the great derugation Of our national
character, as violating in its most essential par
tlcular the solemn oath which the President
has taken to support the constitution of this
Union.
. We call attention further TO the fact that
your excellency is, in like manner, held mp to
this nation, to all mankind anil to all posterity,
in the attitude of I" levying war against IL por-
ton of the United States" by employing arlus
in Kansas to uphold body Of men, and code
of enactments purporting to he legislative, but
which never had the election, nor sanction, nor
consent, of the people Of; the Territory.
We earnestly represent to your excellency
that we also have taken the oath to obey the
constitution; and your excellency may be as
sured that we shall not refrain from the prayer
that Almighty God will make your adnlinistra-
ton an example Of justice and beneficence, and
with His terribly majesty protect our people

A LONG TERX-A convict was discharged
from Sing Sing prison on the 5th instant, who
had spent thirty years in the State prison. He
was sent to the old city prison in 1923, for the
term of fourteen years. He was one of the
chain-gang sent to Sing Sing in 1928, to build
that prison. At the expiration of his term he
was out about three years, then sent back for
ten years. He was out only three months was
drunk all the time; was then taken up and sent
for six years that time expired on the fifth He

TIE GREATEST STEAM INVENTION Yfr.-The
Baton Rouge Gazette, under the above heading
mas the following:
"Wm. S. Martin, ofthis city, has invented an
engine which can be constructed, boiler and al,
for about $50. The machine is so simple that we
might propriety say tits merely an escapepipe
taking up no more room. The steam is admitted
into the centre OF drum or cylinder, in .yhich
the shaft works from this power is applied directly
without further friction. The other day we saw
the perfected model Of the engine pumping water
about 20 feet and throwing it into reservoir at

Equality OF WHITES AND NEGRoEs.-1r
Iowa, in submitting the new constitution, the
question of equality Of whites and negroe;
as to political privileges was submitted tc
the people. Nearly the whole vote OF the
State was against the assumed equality. After
al the prttences of Black Republicanlsm III
favor of negro equality, nearly the whole party
voted against it. Few men in Iowa were found
voluntarily to vote themselves the equals o
negroes. When brought to the test their ne.
gro professions were found to be mere political
expetents which honest men despise. Black
Republicanism is dead in Iowa, as well as al
most everywhere else, and only needs its merit
ed burial to be finally forgotten, unless remem'
bered for the wanton mschiefs it has brought
upon the country.-Washington Union.

THE LITTLE "TRUNDLE-BED."

THE LITTLE TRUNDLE-BED"
By DIR. A. HILL.
We have fond little treasure,
Joyous and bright US the morn,
Loved without stint or measure,
Ever since it was born;
'Tis dear little girl, and her golden hair,
Falls in ringlets bright, DER her forehead fair.
& And close by the side of our bed,
J, This precious little bundle,
Every night is laid,
Spur in her little "trundle;"
Smiling so sweet, that it sometimes seems,
Good Angels must talk to the child in her dreams
And every night she comes,
Weary.of froc and play,
Then softly her vesper huns,
And knecls by her bed to pray
And then, as soon as her prayers are said,
She nestles right down in her trundle-bed.
The clothes are all folded neat
In Winter, all snugy tuckd in,
The" coverlct," blanket and sheet,
Drawn under the darling chin;
Then all you can see is her baby-head,
AS she sic, rs for the night in her trundlcbed.
And often we come to knecl,
Where our little treasure lies,
And prayers such as parents feel,
We send up to the skies;
For We hear OF de.th, and we come to dread
The loss of our child from her trundle-bed
We think-yes often we think,
And what if the child should die!
The heart for moment will sink,
And tear-drop moisten the eye;
Fond hearts are now bleeding, as others have bled,
While they gaze on vacant, but dear little bed.
Affection hath reared her shrine,
By the lowlicst things Of earth,
And the holest feelings entwinc
Round the spot that gave us birth;
Thus We love the place where our baby sleeps,
And affection her nightly vigil keeps.
IT'S plain, old-fashioned thing,
That little baby bed
Where love her offerings bring,
And angels lightly tread;
Yet cord may be touched by the mcreSt toy,
That shall dcluge the heart with tide of joy
We love it, and who shall dare,
These holy feelings deride,
Like that precious /" Old Arm Chair =
And thousand things beside;
So, whether our child he living Or dead,
A dear little thing is that trundle he'd.

TrE OBLIGATION OF a FREiMAsoN.-A clri-
Gus case has just been brought before the Su-
lrror Court of New York city, i'll which one
French FrcemaSon named Emile Pierre sues
another of the craft nancI Antoine Bunnard
for slantlcr, having procured his expulsion from
the lodge TO which they both belonged, and III
uring his business, which is that of shoenla-
ker, by speaking malicious words. These re-
proacful terms consist in styling NJ. Pierre a
pckpckct and thief, and asserting that he
ilu exacted from VI. Bnnna-d sham mortgage.
NJ. Pierre swears that the defendant has circu
lated these reports among Il great portion OF
the French community of New York city,
which is quite numerous and has expressed 4
fixed determination to ruin him, and that since
the saunders were uttered, he has been unable
to obtain work to maintain his family. But the
most curious rart of the complaints affidavit is
that stating that both parties were mctnbetS OF
, French lodge Of FreemasonS in New York,
wherein Bonnard in his absence, made false
and malicious charges against him, supporting
the same by his Masonic oath, in consequence
! Of which he (Pierre) was expelled, and cannot
enter any otkcr Masonic lodge Oh the face of
the earth. Upon this charge, Bonnard was ar
rested and held to bail in s. 900. The case is
striking one, and illustrates the power over
evil docrs exercised by the Masonic fraternity

THE PRINCESS ROYALS WEDDING DRESS.

The Princess Royal of England is now the
"obscrved of all observers" The time rolls On
which is to take her to her new home and her
new country. While it is passing, she is looked
upon with that interest it is natural to feel i'll
tuu<c we are about to lose.
The wedding robe in which she is first to be
saluted inithe character Of wife is progressing,
to be ready for the day on which is to be enact
ed that most heart-strring and engro>sing event.
The Princess Royal is 10 be married in dress
Of llonton lace, as was her august mother be-
fore her. Those who know the tedious nature
Of the manufacture will not he surprised to hear
that its cost amounted to one hundred and fifty
pounds. We are not able to say what is to be
the price of the robe now in preparation, but
arc happy to he able to speak Of its artistic de-
sign, which has been approved as well Tor taste
as for patriotism. Its pattern is composed OF our
national cnbleriS, the rose, tie thistle, and the
shamrock, beautifully interspercd; and dproducins
ELECTS equally light, graceful, and elegant.
When it is remembered that every bnd anil
H. wer, spray and Sprg, are each aud all formed
| by the young lace-makcr on the pillow resting
on her knee, tue amonnt Ul female labor will
appear StupenduuS. Not the nlost tiny leaf. Or
the Swrlin. OF a single line Of meandrrng stem,
but has cost 80 much Of human time; which, is
inie.d, nothing less than human life.
At the same time that this exquisite and
elaborate work is progressing, another robe is
also engaging the time and thoughts Of the
Ioniton lace-makers. The design E,r this second
piece of goSsamer might also ir,,l to the expcc-
taton that it was intended TO enwrap the youth
full form of a IrinceSs' bridesmaid. 1t is
