DEATH OF NEaao's PARAMoUR-
WHAT IT CONES To.-A woman named
Maria Redmond, about 56 years of age,
died suddenly on Thursday night, at No.
10 Mulberry street, New York. Her
history is a melancholy instance of per.
verse inclination. She was engaged as q
governess in the family Of the Livings-
tons, on the banks of the Hudson, about
thirty-four years ago. While engaged
in that occupation she became enamored
with negro coachman in the employ of
Mr.. Livingston, and eloped with him to
New York. Since that period here life
has been aaseene of woo and misery. She
abandoned herseIfto most dissolute and
licentious course of life, and finally died,
miserable. depraved, and neglected OBJ
ject, in the garnet Of the premises where
she resided. The deceased was a woman
of much intelligence and good education.
Upon a bookshelf in her room were
found a number of volumes by fayorite
French and Italian authors, which had
been frequently persued BY the de-

The vote in Oregon against slavery
has not disappointed expectation. In six
counties the vote was. for slavery 252,
against it 024. In Monroe county. not
included in the above counties, there is
800 majority against slavery. The vote
for excluding free negroes is just as large.
The policy of the Territory seems to be
to keep out all inferior races from free

The SLAVE PowER-It is curious to
observe how questions connected with
slavery govern everything in Washing
ton. Robinson of Indiana was a promi-
nent candidate for Clerk of the House,
but it leaked out that he had voted when
in Congress against the Fugitive Slave
Law, and he was dropped. Allen Of
Illinois, his competitor, was supposed to
be against the Kansas bogus Constitution,

he had to declare that he was in favor Of
it, and went with the Administration.
