Brutality OF sI1very.

On the 18th inst young eoIored man aged
about 20, was arrested near Shawneetoxn, Hi
nois, fugitive slave. He stated that he was
free, and that be was born in Vigo county, In
diana. His statements about men and things
in VigO showed that he was well acquainted
there, and so well convinced were the people of
Shawneetown of their truth that they advised
his captOrs to loose his shackles and let him 90.
But without process or legal examination the
kidnaPPers forced the young man across the
Ohio into Kentucky The next DAY the parties
returned and reported that the man escaped
from them, took to the river, and they lost sight
of him The unfortunate negro was found dead
ont he beach the next day opposite Shawneetown
and being out of the Jurisdiction of Illinois, no
means were taken to ascertain the mode of his
death. He was only negro

Ferney and Walker.

Col Forney rctorts upon the Ohio Statesman
for an inpertinent paragraph regarding him,
with much severity. He says: When the
Press espoused the principle of popular sOve-
reignty, We resolved to adhere TO it resolutely
and uncOmpromisingly to the end. What we
solemnly promised VIC shall fearlessly fulfill.
The Statesman started CALAMITY and loudly on
the same track 1t roared immensely in the
index. Now, however, we find it not only bois-
ferrous against its own pledges, but ready TO as
sail those who will not do likewise. Prudence
should teach the Statesman the merit of silence
before a record so full of eloquent self-accusa-
tons" The Statesman, having called in ques-
ton the position of Gov. Walker on the Kansas
question, the Press says;
4" We are authorized to say for Hon. Robert
j. Walker, that he is in favor of the admission
of Kansas as State of the American Union 1t
the next session Of the preliminary arrange
ments can be made,) or whenever the people
present their Constitution to Congress and,
also, that inasmuch as the English bill proposed
to admit Kansas as a slave State with a pOpu-
lation Of $500, Governor Walker is in favor
of the admission of Kansas as a free State,
irrespective of the arbitrary and despotic dis
elimination Of that bill against such a State
In other words as the Democratic party has
been for years pledged to admit Kansas outside
of tire ratio. now 10 insist upon this ratio as
against her people, would be in the last degree
infamous"

NJ yo-,- American state Council.

The American State Council of New York,
or rather the political nOtables of the party, met
at Albany few days ago, and had warm dis
cussion principally on the subject of time in
regard to holding State nominating Conven-
ton Only about two hundred Councils oct
of the twelve hundred formerly existing in the
State, were represented. The Council finally
decided by vote of l63 to 65, to send two
delegates from each Assembly district to a Con-
vention to meet at Syracuse on the sth of Sep
tember, the day and place of holding the Re
publican State Convention. The resolutions
adopted, says the Buffalo Express, declare the
adherence of the party to the BinghamptOn
platform; pitch into the Kansas policy of the
President; favor Registry Law; the use Of
the Bible as text book in our Common Schools;
the completion and protection of the State Ca
mails, and declare their willingness to CO operate
with those entertaining the same views, and to
work for the same end.

All along the stocking and the life there are
black, red and white threads-those are the
way-marks.
When you were knitting the stocking your
mother put those threads in that she might
know when your stent was completed, your
" ten times round" knit, and you could easily
pull them out again; but in the wOof of life they
are firmly woven, and if you brush the dust
away they are as plain as ever; you try to pull
them out, but in vain.
In the stocking those way-maIks are only
threads but in the life they are great joys, and
griefs; graves which draw you down to earth
where hopes and hearts are buried, and jewels
that draw you up to Heaven-yea, even jewels
in our Fathers casket
As you glance back on the way you have
como even to the casting on Of those frst life
stitches, you see a great many knots mended
but not hidden, great many stitches dropped,
the thread held loosely till kinked and tangled,
many needles rusled and broken, and a great
many way-Inarks you would gladly brush with
the dust away.
The knitting goes on, the bail Of yarn grows
smaller, the life dwindles away, the stocking is
almost dOne-then comes the toeing off, the
last stitch is bound of, the thread drawn
through and broken, and the stocking and the
life are done

Life in n stocking.
By Frances A. LEE.

Life has been ikened to almost everything
and has been looked upon in as many different
ways as it could be turned by Fancy's shuttle
IN the rattling loom of the busy brain But in
all the different ways Life has been presented
to you, have you ever seen it compared to a
stocking If not, pause a moment and listen.
AT first the stocking is not stocking nor the
life life, but each skein of yarn, pure clean,
and waiting to be reeled off. Sometimes to be
sure the yam Is clOuded, mixed, and even grey.
but with care it will all knit in and nicely blend
together. There are no breaks, no tancles in
it now as you look at it ere it starts upon its
course, but the thread is frail, the needles nav
bend or break, and steady hand must guide
them, and steady eye must watch them now
their life-work is begun.
Look at the stocking and look at the life
stitch by stitch do they progress, and how
nicely are those stitches all linked together.
held by a single slight thread-the thread of the
stocking and the thread of life-and yet so
long as the thread is unbroken so long will the
stitches hold together.
But see there is a stitch dropped. the
thread broken and tied again, and it leaves an
Ggly scar-a knOt-a mended life The stitch
dropped may be smOOthed over, the broken
thread mended, but the stocking and the life are
marred; the first mis-stitch is made, the first
warning given.
There is magic music in the click of the knit
ting needles when piled with nimble fingers,
and there Is music too in the click of Times |
knitting needles as he knits away at the young
life, now laughing, merry strain, and again
one mOurnful as dirge.
Sometimes the knitting needles grow rusty
and the halfknit stocking is laid away; but the
hands that held the needles first grew tired,
were folded over the still breast and laid to rest
when the stocking and the life were only half
done
There Is great deal Of scanning in the stock
ing, and SO there is in life; more seeming than
doing, the best foot put forward, the bright side
out and the scam stitches uppermost.
There is the widening, tOO-the stocking
grows, the life expands, the purposes grow
strong, the hands grasp for mOre-aBd then
comes the narrowing The thread has been
held so loosely, so many stitches have been
irOPPed along the life-rOad. the thread of hope !
,rOken so many times, that we begin to narrow
n the ife-stOcking, to draw more closely with
n ourselves and guide the needles with more
areful hand. Then comes the foOting-there G

Good Nnminntinn-

The Republicans of lancaster county, Pa,
Mr.. Buchanan's home, have nominated the
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens for Congress, and he
will be elected too by triumphant majority
Mr.. Stevens is one of the ablest men in the
State, and as a member of Congress in old
Wing times made his mark in the House. The
times and the crisis demand such men, and we
trust the Free States will fill up the next Con-
gress with the champions of Free Labor and
sound National policy.

taken a shape which indicates an amicable AZ

arrangement, which is to be submitted to the
Boards of the two Companies. The Tri5Hns
says;
The principal points agreed on are, the re-
ductlOn of speed upon the n. Y Central 10 81
miles IN summer, and 81 miles in winter max
ing the summer passage IN l64 hours the ar
rangenent OF the cattle transportation question,
giving the Erie q chance TO obtain fair propor-

violations of this agreement arc to be submit

charge of the officer committing the violation. if
