HARp TINES IN WIscoSsIN.--A
Minister Of the Gospel Stealing Pro
visions The Milwaukee Wisconsin
saws that minister, residing and prea'
ching in Waupacca county, previously
of good moral character, recently stole
some provisions near Ripon, Wiscon'
ain. Ae gave as his reasons for his
strange conduct, that he had been
preaching, for which he received moth
ing, until he was reduced to the neces'
sity Of taking the property of Others
to sustain life. No prosecution was
commenced against him for the oifensc
but "bag Of flour was given him and
he went on his way" ltwould not be
avery unchristian move if some oft those
missionary societies which send hun
cred Of thousands yearly for the con-
version Of the heather, would appro
pirate tride to keep ministers at home
from the necessity Of stealing in order
TO sustain life.

CITY on DAVENPORT.
THU1sDAY MORNING, JUNE a, 1857
NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Art. XII. Section II. reads rs fol
lows: AT the same election that this
Constitution is submitte to the people
for its adoption or rejection, PROPOSE
ton to amend the same by striking out
the word white from the article on the
right Of suffrage, shall be separately
submitted TO the electors of the State
for adoption or rejection, &c"
The above is the grand overshadow-
ing reason for a Constitutional Con
vention. II is the only article which
the Black Republicans have been anxi-
Gus 70 add to our present Constitution.
1t was the moving cause of all the
lAbors Of the Convention. Niggcrology
ran riot like whirlwind over the
State, at the time the question of new
Constitution was started. One political
party found all its nutrimcnt, all its
zeal, all its strength in the..curly patcs Of
the blacks Of the South, and conceived
the sublime notion of providing land
OF refuge for all the black vagabonds
OF the South, where they
could come and find ample fields for
committing rape upon white girls, horse
stealing and other petty and grand
larcenies, and prowl around the coun-
try ready for every species of mischief,
that would injure and annoy Society.
The same party that would have
enslaved the white foreign born
citizen, are the most anxious TO elevate
the negro to fall and complete equal
ity ofpolitical rights, and as necessary
corrollary, TO the enjoyment of social
equality that admits of amalgamation
This morbid spirit of nisgcrology is
the worst foe Of American liberty.
II is frcbrand that threatens
perpetual conflagration. 1t enters
into the Legislative schemes of oul
party, and gives direction to Their
every act. II is employed as the best
means Of political agitation in til,
absence Of more important measures
But this question, as presented in on
Constitution is too serious to be treatc,
slightly. II comes home to every IN
terest Of Society. II affects ever,
citizen. Shall Iowa become the hos
pital, the luggcr house, the campin.

runaways Of the Slave States Shal

unmanageable! Canada is alrcad
taking steps to cxpel these pests frol

worse than any plague. She find
that those settlements where the M

LOOKING GUrLrY.-Nothing can be
more abused that the idea that "loo.
king getty" proves guilt. An honest
man charged with crime is much more
likely to blush at the accusation than
the real offender, who is generally pre-
pared for the event. and has his face
"ready made" for the occasion. The
very thought Of being suspected Of any
thing criminal will bring the blood to
On innocent mans cheeks in nine ca
80 out Of ten. The most "guilty loo
king person We ever saw was a man
arrested for stealing horse-which
turned out to be his own property!

From a length article in the Nsw Orleans Delta
by Col. J f. Il. Claiborne, we make the following
interesting extract:
The importance attached to The Cabinet is very
much exaggerated. Those who are curious as to
the origin Of the departments nay refer to Laws
of the u s Vol. Bicrsu & Dusne's edition. Ia
England the Cabinet is everything aud the Crown

He was never" as he said Of himself in l77S,
"much of a John Bull" II was John Yankee,
and IS such shall live and die" This bold, high
spirited, but pig beaded man, got on badly with
his Cabinet. His jealou.y Of Hamilton made m
distrustful Of every one about him.
Thomas Jefferson threw his Cabinet into deep
shadow There we're very able men in it, but his
views, not theirs, we're stamped upon the Admin
