Departure of Another Patriarch

Death, the cOnqueror of all, has now cut the
Heroes of the Revolution down to mere cor
poral's guard, and in a few short years more
the last survivor will rest with the great army of
God's-acre. ALEXANDER INsHAM, Sen, who for
the last score of years has had home with, and
been kindly cared for, by his son, Mr.. ALE1AN-
DER INeHAM, at Brooklyn Centre, fell asleep on
the 18th of December, aged 95 years, and leav-
ing four generations to treasure the memory Of
the departed patriarch.
Mr.. INGHAM was of Revolutionary stock, his
father having been killed in Washington's cele-
brated retreat on Long Island. Arnolds at
tack on New London was heard at Hebron, Con-
necticut, and young INGHAMs company was the
first that entered Fort Griswold after Arnold
and his murderers left it. He lived uncared for
by Government, because of the destruction of
the militia records of Connecticut, and the death
of all his associates in arms many years ago.
Mr.. INGHAM enjoyed hale health until about
twelve years ago, since which he suffered much
from deafness and other infirmities incident to

four score he could hoe his row with the mid

ment and his consolation have been reading for
several hours each day in an old fashioned Bible,
carefully treasured from period anterior to the
Revolution, and containing the well filed Fam
lily Record of the generations of the INGHAMs.

Territorial DELEGATES.

If we go on spreading out much longer, the
real and selfconstituted Congressional Dele
gates will become about as numerous at the
Capital as members used to be from the old
thirteen States. From the Pacific we now have
one from Oregon and another from Washing
ton, from Utah one, New Mexico one, and an
other knocking from Arizona one each from
Kansas and Nebraska, and another with hand
on the bell-pull from Dacotah and lately and
lastly the miners and settlers about Pixies Peak
have not only elected members to the Kansas
Legislature, but they have chosen Mr. Davis a
Delegate to Congress, with view to the or
ganizatiOn of the new Territory of Laramie,
and Mr. D. is on his way to Washington. Mr..
MOwry and Mr. Davis are gold Delegates, and
will be more likely to find favor in the Capitol
than the fur-clad Dacotah outsider.

The Old Soldiers, Convention.

At the Convention of the Soldiers of the War
of 1912, held at Painesville, the Hon. David
Kerr, E. D. Howe and Scribner Huntoon were
appointed a Committee for the purpose of draft
ing Resolutions for the Convention, who report
ed the following, which were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Soldiers of the War of 1912
promptly met their Country's call, and bravely
sustained her rights-when she was bleeding
at every pore her sea coast lined with a
British Fleet, and her frontier invaded by saw
age foe; and whereas, large portion of our
companions in arms who survived that glorious
struggle, have since passed from the stage of ac-
ton, without having ever received smile Of
gratitude from the country they so faithfully
served; and, whereas, many of our numbers yet
survive, whose locks are bleached, and limbs
withered with the frosts of many winters; Who
are languishing in poverty and want in coun-
try that boasts of its wealth and honor; and,
whereas, we have long since appealed to Con-
gress for Pension equivalent to that granted
those who were engaged in the Revolution,
which we claim as just reward of fidelity TO
our country in her day of peril and, whereas
she has been deaf to our interests and regard
less of our claims, while the wealth of the Ma
ton has been squandered on insignificant and
wild speculations, and levished on political rem
egades and aspiring politicians to the exclusion
of the pathetic appeal of the war-won soldier
who has been ingioriously neglected and left to
pine in poverty and die in want. Be it there
fore
ResolUed by this Convention, That we most
respectfully and earnestly invoke the aid of our
Senators and Representatives in Congress, in
the passage of a law granting those who served
their country in the war Of 1912, the same Pen
sion allowed those who were engaged in the
Revolution, and be it further
ResOloed, That having full confidence in the
justice of our claim, we will not cease our exer-
tions, nor strike our flag till we obtain our OBJ
ject, or sink to rest in the bosom of an migrate
iul country. Be it further
ResOlUed, That the doings of this Convention,
be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and
Published in the two papers printed in Paines-
vile, and copy be forwarded to Hon. Edward
Wade, our Member in Congress.

A Washington despatch brings US the singu-

A private letter from Washington, written be-
fore the action of the Democratic caucus IN de-

DouglasO chances of getting the Charleston
nomination are just equal to John P. Hale's.-
The same authority informs US shat the recent

Democracy generally, and that they are highly
distasteful to the Democratic Members of Con

his ultra Pro Slavery speeches in his Southern

ton Democrats outside of Illinois, who are al
ready beginning to denounce him.-Chieago

Census of 1seO--censns of minnesota

The Constitution provides that the people
shall be numbered every ten years, and the Sec
retary of the Interior recommends adherence
to the law and plan of census got up with so
much pains and care in 1880 If no other law
shall be passed prior to the lst of January, 1861
superseding it, the Secretary of the Interior
will proceed to take the eighth census according
to the provisions of the law of 1850.
The census of Minnesota was taken under the
supervision of the department OF the Interior in
September, 1857 The aggregate population
was found to be l5O,O92. White males 1895;
white females g., ,425; cOlored males IA; color
ed females l2s; number of families 81, $50; na-
tive voters 26;737; nasuralized voters 22,39S.-
1t appears therefore that nearly one half the
citizens of Minnesota are not natives of the
United States

OBERLIN, Dec. l3, 1853.
DEAR LEADER Our Post Master is in great
tribulation lest the office on which he has be.
come corpulent as an alderman and as slippery
as an eel, should suddenly pass from him and be
conferred upon a certain grand jury man here
abouts, whose zeal in serving the slave power
has come to be notorious.
The fight between these two Democrats has
become interesting, and many are anxious to see
which will win.
That cur present P. NJ has for years done up
mean, dirty work, snch as furnishing " raw ma.
terial' and whole cloth, " out of which that de.
ectable sheet, the Plain Dealer, has manufac-
tured scurrilous articles about OberIin, cannot
be doubted; but it has come to pass that COM
mon meanness will not be accepted by the De-
partment for an Office that netts the snug sum
of twelve hundred dollars a year besides the
stealings SO hO new letting of our Post
Office is to be had, and new bids are called for,
BY the slave power.
1t is decreed that " nigger" must be caught
at Oberlin, and the aspirants for the yearly sal
ary named above are obliged, in order to keep,
or get, as the ease may be, the aforesaid office,
to get down on their ' marrow bones" and vie
with each other in making low bids for " the
thrift that follows fawning."
The bid to keep comes first. Deputy Marshal
dayton comes ostensibly to arrest an industrious
man and virtuous family, guilty of preferring
freedom TO slavery, but really to receive the
rid to keep. The valiant Deputy at the
Iaad of rb4 Il .,F NJ
ISL that he arise from his bed CT slumber and
assist in capturing the unsuspecting Wagner,
his wife and children, that they be dragged into
slavery. Forthwith the unpleasant duty is per-
formed with alacrity and fidelity by our accom-
modating P. NJ. Chat is and although the at
tempt is failure, our sleek and slippery P. NJ.
returns to his pillow and dreams that his bid
must be accepted, and that no one could bid
lower.
Deluded dreamer Little did he think that
the burly grand jury man, (our P. NJ that
is to be,) would bid so far below his low mark,
as to prostitute his own son, lad of II years,
to the mcnnness OF lying TO the poor negro
Price, and thus decoying him out of the village
so that Anderson, the hound of slavery, assisted
BY the Marshal and his posse, could, in the most
cOwardly manner, seize and bind their victim
and drag him away-and then to cap the climax
this same grand jury man (our T. NJ. that Is to
6e) votes for an indictment against those who
prayed for the escape of that victim
Verify our P. NJ. that is, is fairly Out-bid, and
must needs try again, or all is lost.
True he has been smiling in the face of the
very neighbors whose names he has sent to the
District Attorney as proper ones to be indicted,
and he has been engaged personally in serving
subpenas upon Democratic witnesses, to be GER
tain that his neighbors are indicted, but all this
will not do Another attempt at catching 'nig-
gers must be made TO give our P. NJ. another
chance, or our burly grand jury man (our P. NJ.
that is toI be) will take the place of our P. NJ.
that is @.

The Albany Evening Journal appends this
pointed and pertinent comment
The "fugitive Susan" is not the kind of fugi-
tive our Government cares to stop. Let South
ern negro run away from his master, and the
Marshals, Deputy Marshals, Commissioners and
Courts will be after him like pack of blood
hounds. The national vessels" if need be,
will weigh anchor and the national troops shoul-

But when it is only load of fIibusters set

plant Slavery in Central America-why the
Collector "waits for instructions from Washing
ton" the Marshals and Deputy Marshals be-
come invisible, the Commissioners and Courts

national vessels get conveniently "aground,"

EMANCIPATION IN RUssIA.-Aceounts from
st. Petersburgh to Nov. 4, say
"The work of preparing the scheme for the
emancipation of the serfs advances slowly and
steadily. Most of the provincial committees
placed the movement upon the ground ofbenev-
olent condeseension accorded by the nobility to
the serfs; but the military Governor of Kazan,
in his address at the Inauguration of the COM
mittee, took higher ground, and represented it
as an act of strict justice and reparation due to
the serfs, in compensation for what they have
endured during long years of servitude. This
is the sound view taken of the matter by the
Emperor, who does not consider himself en-
gagged in scheme of philanthropy ,Ibut in secur-
ing long delayed justice to the masses of his
subjects"

Pacific RaiIway---Bin of MIR. Curtis.

One great difficulty in the way of the con-
struction of Pacific Railway is the selection
of route The friends of the Northern, the
Central, and the Southern route all have "axes
to grind and are so unyielding in their prefer
ences as to seriously endanger the success of
the great enterprise for some time to come
The friends of the extreme Northern route pro-
pose to start the road from st. Paul, pass
through the north of Nebraska, follow up the
Missouri to its source cross the Rocky Noun
tains at an elevation of 5000 feet, and then
reach the navigable waters of the Columbia
River This would be feasible, pleasant sum-
mer route, but rather snowy in winter if not
impraetcabIe, though Gov. Stevens, of Wash
ington Territory says the road would pass
mostly through a prairie country, and would
not be any more Obstructed by snow in the
winter than the Canada roads.
Mr.. Curtis, of Iowa, has introduced bill in
the House of Representatives, the present ses-
sion, for the construction of Railway from the
west part of the Missouri direct to the nlviga-
bic waters of the Sacramento River, with side
branches to accommodate the North and the
South. This route would pass near Pixies
Peak and thence to Utah, crossing the Noun
tains at the old South Pass The deep SHOWS
of the winter months about the mountains are
the most formidable objection to this route. 1t
would pass along the line of settlements begun
in the great American wilderness, and would
best accommodate all the States east and west
of the Rocky Mountains. If the gold mines of
Western Kansas prove to be what they prom
ise the tide of emigration turned in that direc-
ton will soon carry along the iron horse also.
The Southern route is the favorite with the
South and of course with the Buchanan Ad-
ministration. 1t passes wholly through Slave
or anticipated Slave territory, and in case of
Southern Secession so boldly threatened by the
notification leaders, would be useful only to
the Slave Confederacy. The proposed route is |
through Texas, the Mesilia Valley, Arizona,
and Sonora to Guayamus, or the mouth of the
Gila. Shows would be no obstacle here, but |
the difficulties of the great American Desert
would have to be overcome, such as the want |
of wood and water, and the general barrenness
of the country on portions ofthe line.
The great Central Route along which settle
ments are tending, is the natural and the best
Railroad line from Ocean to Ocean beyond
question. We have but little hope of any de-
finite favorable action on "the great question
of the day." by the present Congress.
