Of the Democrat has grown so fat and lazy,
tugging at the Fat teat he came so near miss

The Philadelphia correspondent OF the
New, York Sunday Dispatch gives the fol-
lowing rather tough aneedote:
We have Methodist preacher here who
is a jolly wag. A few days since Young
man who had long been attached to his
church, and Sho was about to leave for
New Orleans, came to bid his pastor fare
well. "And SO you are going to that de-
generate place, New Orleans, are you?'-
s.Ycs, sir; but don't expect to be inhuen-
ced by any extfaneous pressure of any kind, :
responded the young man, with consider
able carncstness. ''Well, am glad to see
you so confident. hope the Lord will
guide You. But you don't know the temp
tations which exist there?'' '.Not partic-
ularly, sir. "Well, / do. You'll find
wanton women in the guise Of peris, tempt
ing the very elect; and rare wines and ar
dent drinks and you'll find gay company
and night brawling, and gambling and dis
sipation, and running after the lusts Of the
old man ADAM .'Still, sir, hope to
combat these successfully Il hope you
will. And let me give you this much for
your consolation in case you should fall
from grace: the tempter is worse than the
sin, and the greater the temptation the more
merit there is in resistingit. The man who
goes to Heaven by the, way Of New Orleans
is snrc to have twice as high a, place in
eternal glory as he who reaches Paradise

Rev. Mr.. Passive read in the New
York papers of Saturday that the Rev.
Lewis NJ. Pease has permanently closed
his missionary labors at the Five Points.
With broken health and shattered consti-
tuition, he is at last compelled from sheer
exhaustion to give up the work in that To-
cality which he has been prosecuting with
unwearied devotion for the last seven Yeas.
The history of that work yet remains to be
written. If it shall ever be given to the
world, it will prove a record of heroic
achievement such as can hardly be paral-
leled in the annals of American philanthro-
py. Seven years ago, Five Points was,
like Pandemonium, the synonym of all
that is depraved. and accursed, and repro
bate, and abominable; now, it is the ac-
cepted symbol of all that is self-sacrifcing
in Christian principle, and all that is hope
full in social reform.
Such is the testimony in his behalf of
one of the leading New York journals
We can scarcely do justice even in imagi-
nation to the picture of trial, noble endur-
ance and victory which have attended and
crowned his labors. Not crowned, for that
awaits him in the land of rest where virtue
meets its perfect reward.

EE The st. Louis Democrat, in speak
ing of the appointment of Walker, as Gov
ernor of Kansas, says:
So far as Missouri is concerned, the ap-
pointment is the most hostile to her inter-
ests that could by any possibility have
been conceived of. Robert j. Walker has
been identified for lifetime with all the
schemes of those southern statesmen who
have so systematically.:Opposed the advance
cement of the west. His whole fortune in
politics, as well as in financial matters, is
invested in the projected southern railroad
to the Pacific, and in the government lands
donated by Texas to carry out that project.
He is committed body and soul to that en-
terprise, and it would almost be hoping
against hope, to think that he is not sent
to Kansas with the secret object of killing
Oft forever all prospect of the Central Pa
citic Railroad.

NEW oRk, April D.
Private letters received here from Viii
mington, N. c., mention disastrous fires
in the woods in that neighGorhood, and
feared all, the turpentine trees will be de-
troyed. One producer alone had lost tSen-
ty thousand trees.
The Tribune publishes a statement fur
nished by passenger that arrived by the
Texas, native of Nicaragua, and formerly
an adherent of Gen. Walker. He asserts
that the report of Walkers victory, on the
10th, is entirely unfounded.
He was at the Camp of Gen. Canas
just previously to the 18th, at which time
Walkers whereabouts was unknown, hav-
ing few days previously abandoned the
Camp at Rivas, with the intention ofreaeh-
ing the sea coast.
The informant further states that the
correspondence between Canas and Walk
er, which has been tortured into foun-
dation for the statement that Canas was
ready to join the filibusters, was in reality
with reference to the surrender of the latter,
Walker having proposed to submit, pro-
vided he and his men were permitted to
leave the country.
Canas replied, offering passports to the
whole force, excepting Walker, whom he

was arefusal to the terms on
the part of Walkers adherents, and the
flight to the sea-coast.
-- The American Naval officers at San Ju-
an appealed to Canas in behalf of Walker
and his troops. Canas replied that he would
pay the expenses of the whole force to the
United States, excepting Walker, who must
be delivered up.

The Hundred.Mile Race.

The extraordinary trial of horses, and
what may be termed cruel treatment to
dumb beasts, came off yesterday, and caus-
ed considerable excitement in our city. AT
the corners of the streets, all day long,
there were to be seen congregated together
crowds of men and boys discussing the
merits Of the race and the respective quail
tiles of the horses. The telegraph hourly
reported the progress of the race, which,
together with home manufactured reports,
increased the excitement. 1t was not un-
til nightfall, and the result known, that the
crowd dispersed.
Notwithstanding the heavy roads, and
the snow drifts through which the horses
passed, they made eighty-two miles in sew
en- hours and fifty minutes, to Ilion, when
both horses were side by side. At mile
east of Frankfort, Dalton's horse gave out
and WAS put in stable, when Taylor's horse
was blanketed and kept moving on walk
towards Attica. After walking for two
hours. Dalton was seen coming up, when
the blankets were removed, and both nags

Dalton six minutes behind him. Taylor

two minutes. Dalton put up his horse one
mile this side of that place. After stop
ping at Frankfort he was informed that
Taylors horse was staggering along the
road, and feeling assured that his horse
could walk the distance, he was persuaded
to start out, but when within few miles
of Attica he found that he had been de-
ceived. In passing through little falls the
horses took different streets, which some
supposed might lead to a dispute in decid-
ing the race, but this judges, and even Dal-
ton himself, allowed was of no Importance,
was the same. There is no disputing the
fact that the race was cruel one, and the
parties themselves are glad that it is over
with. The horses this morning We're in
one stable, and in as good condition as
could be expected.-Albany Journal.

,hief Justice. in behalf of the majority of

Chief Justice, in behalf of the majority of
the Court, that the Federal Constitution
regards Slaves as mere property, and pro-
tects the claim of masters to slaves to the
same extent and in the same manner as the
rights of owners in property, within the
limits of Free States, during temporary Wis
its, or for purposes of transit, to the practi-
cal consequences of which doctrine no Free
State can submit with honor
4. That the doctrine also announced in
behalf of majority of the Court, that there
exists no power in the general government
to exclude Slavery from the Territories of
the United States, subverts express proris-
ions of the Constitution, annuls the Just
authority of the People of the United
States over their own Territories, and con-
tradicts the whole practice of the govern
ment under every administration from that
of Washington to that of Polk.
5. That, in the PRONUNCIATION of the
doctrines against which we now protest,
We recognize the natural effect of the as
candency of the slave power in the Supreme
Court of the United States secured by that
arrangement of the Circuits which gives to
the Slave States, with less than one-third
of the Free Population of this Union, five
out of nine judges, leaving to the Free
States, with more than two thirds of the
Free Population, only four; and we hereby
instruct the Senators and request the Rep

RoBT. J. WALKER AS GOVERNOR OF
KANsAs.-The following anecdote seems to
illustrate the position of Mr.. Buchanan and
his appointment of Robert j. Walker:
"Sedley," said Charles H., "look me out
a man who can't be corrupted. | have
sent three treasurers to the North, and they
have all turned thieves" "Well, your
Majesty, will recommend Mivert." "Mi-
vert, you dogw said Charles, "why Mivert
is thief alreadyI' Therefore he cannot
be corrupted, your Majesty" said Sedley.
Buchanan has finally hit the nail upon
the head. Walker cannot be corrupted
for there is not an uncorrupted spot about
him. He is the man that framed the cele-
brated ':joint resolutions" which brought
Texas into the Union, and is sufficiently
unscrupulous to override justice and law to
accomplish the enslavement of Kansas
The instinct of the shareholders pointed to
the right man. Under his administration
Freedom has no hopes except in revolution.

DESPERATE AND FATAL FIGHT AT VIM
sToN, Md now hasten to give you an
account ofquite tragical affair that hap
pened on the night of the 9th of this
month. 1t seems that the son of Philip
Pendleton, of this county, and a young
man, by the name of Drain from Chicago,
had some misunderstanding, which result
ed in Drains challenging young Pendle-
ton. He accepted the challenge, and chose
for weapons bowie-knives. They nailed
themselves down to two-inch oak plank
by the pants, and fought until Drain was
mortally wounded. Young Pendleton
was cut nearly in pieces, and is now lying
in critical condition. Part of Pendle-
TONS knife is still in Drains head. There
is no hopes of his recovery. The Doctor
