Yankees who 90 into Slave States often
times turn slave holders and outlo the
Southern men themselves. l have no
doubt they Guido them if they do anything
in that line at all. Laughter. The
Yankee has never become a Shareholder I'M
less he has been forced,to itsby the social
relations of the Slave State where he liv-
ed; and the Yankee who has become a
STAKEHOLDER, has,every day of his life there
after, felt in his very bones the bad econ
omy of the system. 1t could not be 9th
erwise. Talk about our Yankees, who 90
to Central America, becoming slasehold-
ers!
Why,sir, we can buy a negro power in a
steam engine, for ten dollars Qaughter),
and we can clothe and feed that power for
one year for five dollars ire
newed laughter; and are we the men to
give $1,000 for an African slave andsl5o
a year to feed and clothe him? No, sir.
Setting aside the arguments about senti-
mentality, and about phila~nthrophy,on this
question; setting aside all poetry and 6c-
ton, he comes right down to the practical
question-"Is it p~roitable?" The Yankee
replies, "Not at all" There is no danger
Of men who 90 from Boston to Central
America ever owning slaves, unless they
are compelled to, by their social relations
there.
p IF a mar goes from Boston into LOUISE

The WAY JoHN JACKSON Cor Orr
SMALL Pox VS.. JUsT1cE.-A man named
John Jackson was brought before one of
tile Courts of Brooklyn, New York, on
Tuesday, charged with beating his wife,
The Court2 as usual was crowded. The
prisoner was tried and found guilty, and
was awaiting his sentence, when
Several bystaaders observed, at this
time, that the prisoner had the small pox,
which was breaking out with great virul-
ence, all over his face. The fact being
communicated to others in the room, a
general stampede commenced, while those
not aware of the course of all this commo-
ton, imagined the building to be on fire,
and shouted Justify.
TheClerk at last discovered the trouble,
turned CHASTITY white, and then made a
somerset out of the window, at the immi-
nent risk of breaking his neck. TheJudge
thinking the building was falling, went at
ter the Clerk in a most u~ndigniied man
ner, while the Deputy Sheriff and Others
off GERS climbed the posts, and took refuge
amongst the ~rafters.
The sight was laughable in the extreme.
People rushing out of the door; Clerks
and Judge followed by constables and
lawyers, Jumping out of the windows, and
the prisoners escaping amidst the general
tumult, while poor Jackson, unable to
speak, was forced out of the door, and bid
den. % clear away, never to return. AS no
one would venture in, the Court was pro-
nounced to stand ad journed.

RECOVERY OF CRowN JEwELs.-A Gu
rious dispute which has been pending for
many years, has just been settled. 1t ap.
pears that the regalia Of England, consist
inc Of the crown and jewels, estimated at
a million sterling, (s4,ss5,ooo,l were bro't
into England by the King Of Hanover
When The Duke Of Cumberland became
King of Hanover, he claimed them, and
from that preriod till very recently he and
bis son yainly insisted on their rights. Al
length the Hanoverian Minister accredited
to our Court, offered to refer the matter to
three of the English Judges, and abide by
their award. They have decided in favor
Of the King of Hanover, 50 that these pre-
cious gems will be removed frow the Tower
to grace the place Of Herenbausen, and
probably John Bull will be taxed to re-
place them. Probably the Queen will
be permitted to have the use of them on
the occasion of the marriage Of the Princess
Royal.

MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN, CoNvENTION-TuE Ar
LANrIC TELEGRAPH AND PACIFIC RAMBoAD-
The republicans of Michigan held their State
Convention at Detroit last Thursday, and noml-
mated their several candidates for State Offices.
We see by the resolutions adopted that they
have not yet dropped the subject OF Kansas, but
still make il. one of the planks in their platform
Az a set off to that, however, they have auo-
Their resolution connecting the establishment OF
an Atlantic telegraph with the building of .

1t is not at all improbable that the subject of
the Pacific Railroad will be made one of the
foremost Issues in political contests for soac
time to come. II would be certaialy mote
practical and Ineligible Issue than the absurd
cry about Kansas, upon which 30 many changes
have been rung for the last foar years.
We wish that our own and other States could

Its State affairs has been conducted for the last
four years. II declares it to have been emiaeotly
honest, promotive Of the happiness of the people,
and creditable to the wisdom and integrity of
those into whose hands the government Of the
State had been committed. We are afraid that,
with the example Of the republican administrs-
ton of New York and Of Wisconsin before our
eyes, we must take this certificate of character
with many grains Of allowance for party preju-
dices and party purposes. II the certificates

SENATOR TRUMBu1L AND THE WASHINGTON
USIoS-DoEs HE BELONG TO THE LoDBY?-The
Washington Union, in replying to Senator
Trumbull's Chicago speech, in which he dis.
sected the Custom House statistics of reccipts
and expenditure in various ports of no sccoaat,
does not deny the facts, but charges that
the Senator has been always one of those who
vote for all sorts Of jobs and extravagances 1t
says that the honorable Senator is guilty of in
t6ablc meanuess, and that his speech indicates
vsgrant partnership between the corrupt lob
byites and the various branches Of the opposi-
ton. These are bold words, and as the Uaioa
has the reputation of being pretty largely
mixed up with the lobby and knowing good
deal about it, plans and operations, we must
take II as good authority. What saith our re
publican Senator from Illinois? Does he admit
or deny the soft impeachment? Is Mat,cson ais
chief, and Simonton his brother? We pause Tor
reply.

Our WATERING Place CoRHEsrospEScE.-It
IL evident that the suicidal course Of the pro-
priotors Of watering place establishments, per-
sisted In for many years past, OF shutting MP
their guests in cells which they called bed
rooms. and In stinting them at table, has had its
inevitable effect. With the exception of Sara
togs, which will be always sought for on sc-
count Of its waters Of health. all the other
summer retreats seem to have been doing rather
a small business this season. Even as to Sara
toga itself, It Is remarked that there are fey
fashionable people or notablcs there. Between
the grasping avariciousness Of hosts and the yul-
garity Of the people who used TO flock 10 such
places, they have been, with great popular una
nimity, declared low, and It will require many
years and much effort TO rosuscitate that ele-
ment Of our GUNNER society We publish to-
day some wateringplace letters, but their con-
tents cannot be said to be very cheering
