Sad Death of a Student.

The reroit papers give the particular:
of sad affair which took place at the Uni
versiry a, Ann Arbor, Michigan, last week
George w. Brazie, young man who hat
until recently been student of the Univer.
siiy, being anxious to become member oi
some of the various secret societies, of the
college, band of the students conceived
the plan of giving him mock initiation in
to sham society, and beer and whiskey
were provided for the occasion. The GER
emony was performed by a party of nine
students, in one OF the study rooms, and all
who chose partook freely of the liquors.
Brazie drank 50 freely that he became in
toxicated, and sank down upon the floor
Tug company sought to sober him; carried
him out .! doors TO give him the benefit OF
the pure air, and bathed his face and tenn
Piles in water, but without the desired re-
suit. lie was taken back and made as COM
Portable as possible with some bed clothing;
his vomiting precluded the idea of putting
him 10 bed. He was attended to at inter-
walls drring the night, but when morning
came he was still drunk. The students,
thin king he would soon come out of his
drunken sleep, went TO college as usual
When they returned about IL O'Clock the
unfortunate young man was dying, and be-
fore a physician who was sent for could ar-
rive he breathed his last. A post mortem
examination Of his body developed no ev-
idence either of disease or violence, and the
jury returned v,rlct Of "death by intem-
perance." It appears that Brazie had been
without food much more than the usual
time, and also drank freely of beer and
wh:skey before going to the place of meet
ing. The melancholy affair has created
great excitement at Ann Arbor, and the
citizens are making a movement to break
up the sale of liquor in the place.

Mr.. Buchanan's New Test of Of
flee

Tie translation of Judge Loring to Mr..
Buchanan's bosom ought to be agreeable to
all parties. The principal party must, of
course. be gratiied that the mere virtue of
losing an Office in Massachusetts, with sal
ary of $500 gives him the head OF the court
of claims at Washington with salary OF
$4,000 year. Mr.. Buchanan is probably
satlsfed-or ought to be--with finding one
man who voted for Fremont in 1859, (for
Judge Loring did that) who is now willing
to support him and his administration. The
democratic party has gained one man since
1856 in the free states; and he certainly
ought 10 be made jewe. Of for his rarity.
Nor can Massachusetts be otherwise than
confirmed IN her estimate, both of the ad-
ministration and Judge Loring, to find them
coming together so cordially. Her pride is
fed to notice that the man, whom her great
tuneversity though, unfit to instruct its law
school, and her state government unworthy
to hold a petty judgeship, is considered
equal to a seat on one of the most import
ant courts of the nationa! government. The
fact illustrates how high the standard Mas
sachuseits makes for her public instructors
and law-givers in compari on with that
ad opted BY the general government.
| The obvious and more serious remark to
be made upon the appointment is, that ii
was commended to the president, not by
any peculiar fitness of Judge Loring for the
place, nor even by any party services, fol
Judge Loring never was a democrat. bu'

The State Convention.

We give to our readers in another CO.
umn, the able call for Republican State
Convention. Ii is needless for US to speak
of the importance for rallying and erganlz
ing the opposition to the Slave Democracy
in this county. The people know well its
importance. Ohio to-day is crushed beneath
the tyrannous yoke of Federal usurpation.
Our Legislature is another name for slave
propagandists. Our Treasury is drained to
reward the willing tools Of the Slave
party. The rights of the people of Ohio
means nothing but the protection of
slave property in the South Freedom
means slavery, and slavery means Freedom.
I his ductrine is thrust in our teeth as the
doctrine of our forefathers, and we ale asked
to submit. But will we submit will we
yield our independence, and permit this
plurdering corrupt party to drain our Treas
ury, and finally 10 make US slaves! NJ
Verify, we baught our liberties at too dear
rate to yield them for naught. The peo-
pie looked to this party in our own state tc
lower their taxes, reform abuses and re.
trench expences, but what did it do. i
increased the expense in every department
of the state. To abuse it added abuse will

The Spring Elections.

The Lecompton policy of Mr.. Buchanan
fares hard at the hands of the people. 1t is
reputed everywhere. New Hampshire sPu-n

condemned it. ST. Louis would not look
at it. Dubuque drummed it out of town.
1t is repudiateG in Elmira, Portland. Og-

More Business Prospects.

More Specie Business Prospects.
The New York Herald Of Wednesday
last remarked:
The California steamer which arri-
we'd yesterday added million and q
half to the thirty four millions already
in bank. This accumulation of specie
has not yet begun to tell on any part of
the speculative world; but those are
greatly mistaken who suppose that it
will not produce its proper consequen-
ces.
First stocks, as most easily handled ,
and most recklessly dealt in, must feel
the effect of the plethora; next merchan-
disc of all kinds. This latter may take
a year or two to start. but the specula-
tion will begin before then.
As soon as the ball is started. every
body will nevertheless. take the bulk of
the community by surprise. Only the
shrewd ones perceive that this is the
time to buy property of all kinds

"Frailty thy name is-Democrtic
Era"

The Editor of the Era has fairly straddled
the fence at last. He wandered from the
Democratic fold, and for a time, was inde-
pendent as a wood-chuck, but OAat ever
lasting but) he soon got tired feeding on the
husks of honest independence, and now We
find this specimen of honest Democracy
paving his way back to his old hiding place.
In fancy we see him shabby and careworn
astride the topmost rail, one foot dangling
on either side, with plant devotion to the
behest of the imaculate party, straining his
last energies to swallow the obnoxious
Green-ENGLIsH pill. In speaking of this
measure he says. "the bill itself is shabby
exhibition of cowardice" yet he says, "we
are satisfied that our Representative. Hon.
WIN. LAWRENCE, committed no especial
wrong in voting for the ENGLISH .compro-
mise"
He cites its "indirectness," and its "want
of moral courage" which he says, "makes
every honest man despise it," yet he "be'
lieves the future will fully justify Mr.. LAW
RENEE in his course" He says, "the more
Objectionable feature of the bill is this-li
offers to the people Of Kansas bribe," YET
under the consequences which he thinks
will follow, it will result in "grea. good te
the county," such medly of contradiction:
we have never seen cou chei in one article
We think he must have written this with
both hands, each a sentance alternately
and followed closely the seriPtural iniunc
ton, "let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand deeth."

6JWM. M. CoENELLY. has been found
guilty, in the U. S. District court for the
Southern district of Ohio. of the grave Of
fence of providing food and shelter to two
naked and hungry fugitives. Judge STILLo
and Tom CoRwIN, were the council for the
defence. CoRwIN's speech was able, bring
ing out the native fire of his being, but il
was of no avail. CoNNELLY is to be made
an example, his pl nishment will be ..the ut
most extent of the law. His council will
try for a new trial. The Judge refused tc
let the prisoner out on bail, although Judge
STTLLo, offered TO produce any amount de-
manded. Verify, in tie eyes of the Demo
cracy the rights of freemen are of BUT little
consequence when weighed against the de-
mands of the South. Slavery is innipoten
in that degenerate party. Murderers, ans
defaulte rs may go unpunished, but let ,
man cloth tie naked, feed the hungry, anc
give shelter to the homeless wanderer, anc
he is hunted down by the government Of
ficials as worse than "a murderer. If WIZ
CoNNBLLY is guilty of so high a crime, ther
we of Ohio are people of criminals, fo
we do not speak amiss when we say thai
not one in a thousand would refuse to dc
the same act. Who is there with the hear
of man, that when a poor skeleton of hu
manity would present himself, with the
skinny fingers of hungry gnawing at hi,
vitals, would refuse him ioodi Yet this
law would make US do even This.

now an extraordinary stampede of the slaves
in that state. Negroes are daily escaping

They go off, one, two, three or a dozen at a
