have taken i'll the presence of Almighty
God, call upon you to punish the offend
Ell, aud to right the wrong. | presume not
to direct your wisdom in the course it shall
pursue; but, in the name of the men whose
rights your officers have infringcd, and
whose honor has been most barshly and
heedlcssly tramplcd in the dust, call for
the justice it is your high prerogatiye to
bestow
But permit me to conclude by adding
that in all events and under all circumstan-
ccs therear duties and responsibilities from
which and the officers and men repre-
sent will not, dare not, shrink. No ex-
treme of illegal interference amount of
hard words and unjust epithets, can deter
us from following the path which is before
us The functionaries of the Government
may exhaust upon me the cxplctivcs of the
lalnguagc--they may insult the public con
science and degrade their own characters
lDyapplying to US all the cpithets their NOR
bid lmaginations suggest; but, conscious
OF the right and justice of our cause, we
shall not relax our efforts nor be driven into
a violation of the law. As long as there is
Central American exiled from his native
land and deprived of his property and civil
rights, for the services he rendered us. in
evil as well as good report, so long shall our
time and our energies be devoted to the
work of their restoration. AS long as the
bones of our companions IN arms, murdered
under barbarous decree of the Costa Ri
can Government, lie bleaching and unburiod
on the hill sides of Nicaragua, so long shall
our brains contriye and our hands labor for
the justice which one day we will surely
obtain.
Permit your officers, if YOU can to tram

violent invasions of individual rights and
public duties; treat with scorn and con
tempt, if you choose, the demands for JUS
tlce which we humbly and deferentially
place at your fcet--we will not be cast down
or dismayed. We fight for the rights of
our race, which have been denied us by an
ungrateful and degraded aristocracy. We
strive to retain unsullied the device some
of our ancestors have borne on many field
-" None shall wound us with impunity."
And so long as our faith in right endurcs
good-our confidence in the God of our
fathers remains unshaken--so long shall
we use all just and proper means to regain
what has been wrongfully wrestcd from us.

Beyond tho River,


Time is river, deep and wide;
And while along its banks we stray.
We sec our loved ones DER it's lido
sSnil from its sight away--away.
where arc they sped--tlicy WHO return
-, NO more to glad our longing eyes:
They've passed from lifcs contracted bourne
10 land unseen. unknown, that lies
beyond the river,
'Tls hid from view but We may guess
How beautiful that land must be;
For sgleamings of its lovelness,
In visions granted, OF we see.
The very clouds that Ger il throw
Their veil unr0iscd for mortal sight.
With gold and purple timtings glow,
Reflected from the glorious light
Beyond the river.
And gcntlc airs, so sweet so calm,
Steal sometimes from that vicwlcss sphere,
The mourner feels their breath ofbalni,
And soothed sorrow dries tho tear.
And sometimes listening ear may gain
Entrancing sound that hithcr floats,
The echo of n distant strain,
OF harps and voices blended notes
Beyond the river
There are our loved ones in their rest;
They've crossed Times Rivcr-now no moro
They hced the bubbles on its brenst, u
Nor feel the storms that sweep its Shore.
But there pure love can live, can last
They look for Us their home to share;
When VIC in turn away have passed,
What joyful greetings wait us there

Sale of the state Canals.

A large and spirited meeting, composed OF
the citizens of Massillon, representing the ship
ping, mechanical, mercantile and agricultural in
terests of that locality, was held on the evening
of the 10th inst, to consider the subject of the
proposed sale of the public works of the State
Mr.. J. S. Kelley presided. The meeting was
addressed by Messrs Kent Jarvis, 7. W. Har-
vey, and Steese, and Messrs. Thomas Black
burn, j. s. Kelley, Kent Jarvis, D. R. Atwater,
and ]. W Underhill, were appointed delegates
TO attend the Convention at Columbus on the
9Th of January, 1859. The following, among
other resolutions, were adopted:
Resoloed, That while we wodld extend every
proper facility to all other modes of communi-
cation which afford facilities for the operations
of trade, we would be negligent Of our duty as
citizens were we to consent to have these proud
monuments of our States greatness pass into the
hands of private citizens or mammoth corpora
tions.
RcsOlued, That in the opinion of this meet
ING, a sale of the canals of this State would re-
suit in wide spread ruin TO a very large num-
Der of our citizens, very great decrease OF tax
able property upon the duplicate, and deprivation
ofa home market for the products of our soil and
manufactures.
Resolsed, That all experience proves that
system of low tolls makes better market for
the producer, and increases the revenue OF the
canals.
Resoiped, That in our opinion a sale of the
canals would result in their entire abandonment
as a channel of inter communication.
Resolred, That the abandonment of our ca
nails as State property would result in extortions
/ of freight upon various articles which now have
direct and cheap outlet to other markets,
LARGELY decrease the value of our farming and
mineral lands throughout the State-prevent
produce dealers from paying as high price for
wheat and other grains as they now do because
of the high rates of transportation which Rail-
road companies would charge if the competition
of the canals was removed, and thus the effect
of depreeiating the value of the products of
! farm would be to depreeiate the value of the
farm itself, and transfer of so large and impor-
tant an interest into the hands of private lndi-
viduals would render imminent the evils refer
red to, the subject demands of the people
prompt and decided action

Artesian Wen at Columbus.

The appropriation has run out, but the water
does not. The depth reached is 1858 feet, and
the money the State has expended on the Cap
itol Square ornament is $1,000 dollars, which
is nearly four dollars per foot An appropria-
ton of three or four thousand dollars more will
be asked, on the principle that sin for shilling
in for pound" Before the first appropriation
was made geologists put the probable cost OF
obtaining perpetual fountain inside of $4,000,
but the result shows that they only saw just as far
into the milestone as other folks The Gazette,
always in a tremor about the birthstone region,
asserts that the water now obtained is sulphur
Gus, and hints that the hole, for the safety Of
the General Assembly, should be plugged up be-
fore the first Monday in January.
The Journal states that Prof ". W. Mather
has prepared an elaborate geological report on
the samples of borings, and the report will be
published in that of the State House COmmis-
sioners.

The Indiana Senators.

We were led into error in regard to the re-
consideration of the vote in the Indiana House,
by which the bill to provide for the election Of
United States Senators failed to become law
over the Governors veto. The bill lacked two
votes of a Constitutional majority. The election
was then held by concurrent resolution
An indianapolis correspondent writes that
this election is likely to have graver conse-
quences than is probably dreamed by the ma
iority of the public The Senators elect will
proceed to Washington at once to commence
the contest Intimations have been received at
Indianapolis from the Capitol, that their claims
will be recognized by the entire Anti-Lecomp-
ton Democracy in Congress, with the exception
of the Illinois delegation. This will increase
the troubles now agitating Democratic circles
Bright will certainly use with doubled vehe-
mence the weapon furnished to him against
Douglas, by the election of Republican Sena-
tor from his State through the instrumentality
of the latter's friends.

Su1cIDEs-Self-murder occur with startling
and increasing frequency, and the mania does
not exempt any class or condition. Our ex-
changes since Friday contain the following ca
ses:-Mrs. Elizabeth Sweet or Ludwig, of Chi
cago, aged 81, drank poison Wednesday night,
probably laudanum, and died in the morning
Domestic troubles the cause. She has relatives
residing in Ashtabula. Eleanor Van
dyke hung herself with a skein of thread in Ca
naan, Athens county, Ohio, on Thursday. She
had been subject to fits of mental alteration,
and left husband and six children.-Esquire
Morrow, Justice of the Peace in Monroe, Lick
ing county, killed himself on Thursday, by pis-
tol shot in the head. He had fallen into dissi-
pated habits, family difficulties followed, and a
suicides grave.-Miss Sarah Coffman, in
Shenandoah county. Va, recently committed
suicide by taking arsenic. Disappointment IN
love the cause-John L. Berriman, of Erie,
Pa, killed himself with laudanum at Erie on
Thursday He was young man, of the fast

washington News.

The Washington dispatches of the 24th have
the following items OF interest
The motion of Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, to refer
the Navv Appropriation bill to the Committee
on Naval Affairs, was intended to inaugurate
system applying to all General Appropriation
bills, thereby diminishing the power of the
Committee on Ways and Means, and encour,
apiney retrenchment. Although not presented
as a strictly party measure, 1t Will receive
stronq support from the Republicans.
Mr.. Kiigore, of Indiana, will endeavor, after
the recess, to introduce, under a suspension of
the rules, his resolution demanding information
concerning the action of the Administration re-
suecting the landing of the slaves in Georgia
Objection was made to-day by MIR. Garnett,
of Va. to the introduction of the resolution
This is indicative of determination on the part
of the extreme Southern members to smother
investigation.
An editorial in The States, tonight, asserts
that Juarez's envoy here is authorized to offer
concessione which will amaze the country, on
condition that Buchanan will recognize the fac
ton of Juarez as being the legitimate Govern
ment of Mexico.
Among the concessions which The States
is permitted to mention, is one giving dl-
rect transit between Texas and the Gulf OF
California. Another guaranty is, freedom OF
trade, and the settlement of pecunlary diff
culties or terms most favorable to the United
States
Gen. Walkers friends here, deny the receipt
of any information of the landing of the Su-
sans passengers in Nicaragua, although they
do not doubt the fact. They also express the
confident belief that several hundred additional
" emigrants " for Nicaragua will elude the
vigilance of the Federal officers within few
days.
The Unions leader of to-day is significant OF
backing out of the important new doctrine of
the present Administration in favor of the en-
foreement of the contracts of American citi-
zens with foreign Governments. 1t excites
much surprise and comment.
The Committee of Ways and Means have
reduced Secretary Cobbs estimates for the
expenses of the next year, two millions of dol
lars.
A better disposition is manifested toward
modification of the tariff, and moderate bill
is now being prepared, combining the Princi-
ples of specific and ad valorem duties.
1t is the general impression that Senator
Dou6las must be tabooed, if he fails to demand
satisfaction for the insulting letters Of Slidell
and Jones.
The Democrats will endeavor to kill the
House Pension bill in the Senate Committee, in
order to avoid public test.

Overland SfagIng---OSllu Uolo Mlhes'
Staging from the Pacific to st. Louis, even
by the Texas and Mesia Valley route, must be
an uncomfortable as well as dangerous winter
business The stage which left San Francisco
the night of Nov. 25th, with six passengers,
made the trip in few days short of a month
But three of the passengers came through, one
of them being Mrs, Hale, who left England
about year ago, and arrived at San Francisco
recently via Australia. She took the stage at
San Francisco for the purpose of joining her
husband in St Louis
After leaving San Francisco a shock of an
earthquake was experienced for a considerable
distance along the line oftravel. Itlasted some
five minutes At San Jose, As miles from San
Francisco, the plastering was shaken from the
walls in most of the buildings. On the "Des-
ert" quite a sand storm was encountered
He-vy rains occurred between Los Angeles and
Apache Canon. Here two feet of snow was
found, and from thence to the Missouri line
there was more or less snow along the route
At the Apache Pass, the passengers had to
walk u miles, such was the bad condition of
the road The Rio Grande was full of ice, the
weather in the MessilIa Valley was severely
cold, and ponds were frozen so as to bear up the
stage There were three upsets on the route,
but no oae much hurt Mr. Beardslee, pas
senger, had both his feet frozen.
Mr. Beardslee reports the Ga Gold Mines as
rich as any in California. While journeying
along Mr.. B. would stop and prospect, and OBJ
tanned several pieces of gold as large as coffee
grains, as the result of his experiments with
the sand. In the mountains, about 60 miles
from Gila, two or three very rich leads have
been discovered.

CHESS AT PITrsBUReH.--Mr. Paulsen has
been having blindfold tits with the Pittsburgh
Chess Club. He has played two matches, ten
games at time without seeing the board, with
the picked players of the Club In both matches
he won six games and lost four The feat of
playing ten games of chess at once without a
view of the boards, seems to all who know any
thing of the game, little short of miracle

Judges at the examination of Bowman, pro-
nounced the bills the most dangerous counter
feits that have been issued. He claimed to have
received the money in Philadelphia for horses,
and was held to bail in $500.
