The RABBIT TRADE IN aBELGIUM.-lt is
almost incredible to what a degree OF
Importance this branch of trade has at
tanned in Flanders within the last six OF.
seven years. There are fifty thousand
skinned ~carcasses Of these animals ex-
ported weekly to England-more than
two and a half millions annually-where
they find a ready market as articles Of
food, while it is difficult to sell them in
Flanders at twenty-five cents apiece.
The preparation and coloring of the skins
give employment, in Gent alone, to more
than two thousand workmen, and, since
the business sprung up a few years ago,
the export Of these skins to America,
France and Russia has become very
considerable. -.&' isss sSss

California that the slave Arohy, who was
delivered up to his owner by the Supreme
Court Of California, Notwithstanding that
oner voluntarily brought tho slave to a

California therefore is in reality a Slave
State. To like uses has our present Dem

Ohio. A Kentucky slave holder can now
come to Ohio with his slaves, keep them
here as long as it suits his convenience,
and then return 10 Kentucky, or, if he
thinks it more safe. during his stay to
put his negroes in Jail he can do so.

structoh of rail road to the Pacific,
will bear National Democracy" aud the
