Mn. CowAS "A curious scene occurred al
the Court House, near the close Of the court
yesterday, which would have excited some
merriment, had 1t not brought to mind the
admonition of the Father of his Country.
when he was about seeking retirement from
his labors in the war of the revolution-.th
formation of the constitution, and the admin
istration of the government in its first stages.
You doubtless recollect the expressions Of
Washington, in his Farewell Address, where
he refers to the dangers that await Us, and
enumerates among the causes likely to sub.
vert the government, the influx Of foreigners
bringing with them principles adverse to our
government. and fatal to our free institutions.
The scene referred to, had a tendency to
bring to view all these reflections. Now for
the scene:
Between twenty or thirty foreigners were
brought into Court, and took the oath Of al
lesiance; or. in other words. were created
voters to be used at the coming elections, and
/ understand that about fifty voters have been
manufactured during the Court under the
guide and direction of foreigner who was
referred to rece ntly in the Maine Democrat,
aud who, understand. has not been in the
country long enough to claim the privilege
that he is forcing upon Others.
am not disposed to make merry with the
scene, but when the highest tribunal in our
land, publish to the world an opinion that
those natire, Of our country, who happen to
have African blood. belong to race that have
no souls; or. in other words, pretend that
they have no rights that white man Is bound
to respect-aud the advocates of that tribun.
al are found busy in project to place the
government in the hands of class similar to
those who were paraded in Court yesterday
to DO created citizens, one could not help
thinking tina, the danger to the Union did
no, lie in the direction Of the slavery ques-
ton, but was rather to be looked for in the
introduction Of foreign principles into the adj
ministraiion of public affairs, through these
manufactured foreign voters.
Among the peculiar,ies Of the scene. rs
some portion Of the applicants for naturaliza-
ton appeared too young to be considered oil
lawful age. and the question was put to them
to settle that fact-four or Eve Of them an.

Democratic Northern Slaves.

The slaves of the Southern oligarchy are
not only the colored men and women who
toll on their plantations. Thousands of them
are found in all the free States, wherever the
influence of government patronage extends.
The number is happily rapidly diminishing
but so long as there are post offices and GUS
tom houses to be filled by an administration
controlled by the Shareholders, the race will
not become extinct. They submit without
murmuring to all the indignities put upon
them by their southern masters, and SUBJ
missively perform all the degrading offices
required of them by those to whose favor
they are indebted for present, or to whom
they look for future reward. Many Of these
abject beings have heretofore held seats in
the state and national Legislative bodies, where
their services have been of vital importance
to their masters; but fearful mortality in
the pas, few years has so ,hinned their ranks
that they are now unequal to the services at
their hands.
Besides this class Of northern slaves there
is another, lower in the scale Of humanity,
and of which the class we have adverted to
are the drivers and overseers. This is the
class TO which Senator Wade of Ohio alluded
in his speech in the Senate, March 10, in
which he adverted to the remark of Senator
Hammond of South Carolina in relation to
northern slaves. Said he
"But the Senator spoke about a degraded
class i'm the great commercial cities. / have
TO confess there is some truth in that. We
have degraded class in the cities. They
are the otfscourinss generally OF the Old
World-men who come here reduced 10 beg.
gary By their ignorance; reduced TO begcary
by their vice; ignorant, vicious, dangerous.
/ do not deny il. They are incident to all
large cities but the Senator should not conn.,
plain OF them. They are the chief corner
stone OF your political strength in the North.
Find me the vicious ward of any city that
does not uphold your system Of slavery, vote
for its candidates, support its measures, and
labor for its men. No, sir, you should not
complain of this vieiouspopulation. In truth
and in fact they are about the only stay and
support YOU have there now, and you ought
not 10 traduee them, From their very ma
lures. they attach themselves to you, and
do no, think by any treatment you will be
able 20 drive them off. They are naturally
with YOU; they were slaves in their own
countries they do not know anything else
than TO be the understrappers OF somebody
ana when they hear that here are slavehoid-
ets eontending with ireemen. you lind them
with the former all the time"

St. Louis, the metropolis of the far West.
the chief city Of slaveholding State, gave
1900 majority for free labor, last Monday.
Cincinnati. the Queen City Of the West.
one of the strong holds of the Sham Democ.
racy, has been redeemed, by the astonishing
majority of 5000.
Jefferson City, the capital Of border rufIinn
Missouri, has given her allegiance to Black
Republicanism.
Chicago, the home of Douglas, repudiates
slavery and its upholders, by 1900 majority.
These are good signs; and next fall. when
a great battle will be fought in this State,
these propltious signs will be realized.
Douglas will have permission to stay at
home and, in. private, repent the evil he has
done, and there, perhaps. after six years pro.
baton, he can be taken into the party OF free.

promises of the administration, have been true

REMISIscRNcE OF Gel. BESros.-The New
York correspondent Of the Boston Journal. in
writing Of Col. Benton, relates the following
incident illustrative Of his devoted affection
for his family
"For long time before her death, Mrs. Ben.
ton had been an invalid. BY the softening
of her brain her mind was greatly enfeebled.
But from the time of her sickness to the hour
of her death, her husband tended her with
all the care Of a mother towards an only
child. She sat by his side while he wrote;
and at times the old smile would come back
to her pallid cheek. Never did Mr.. Benton
appear greater than on the day his house was
, consumed. He saw unmoved the work OF 20
wears destroyed. But when he knew tina,
with his property, and his valuable papers,
other things had vanished more valuable than
gold, the fountains OF feelings were broken up
and bitter tears flowed.
Some of his friends, anxious to know how
the conaagration had affected his property
made some inquiries about the pecuniary
damage he had suffered. He said little OF
his loss of goods, but with deep feeling al.
luded TO those treasures which could never
be recalled or replaced. lie opened the Sc
cret chambers of his heart. lie spoke of his
wife in Heaven-of their mutual struggles in
early days In the West. How she had sick.
ened and suffered, and how dear she had
been TO him in oil her feebleness-hOw She
died and left him alone, and more alone, that
she had so long needed his constant personal
attentions-how. in the chamber occupied by
him, and now consumed, he had hung all the
| little remembI ances of other aud happy days
the tokens of her life and love-how oil
these had been consumed and he should see
them no more. Hecould replace his house
he could reproduce his words.-but tho
precious relics of his dead companion were
gone forever. No labor. no insurance, ne
tears, could bring one OF them back"

IL The Kennebec Journal says that the
discussion during.the past winter in reference
to the unsettled lands in Maine, and tf''
the methods by which their settlement shall
be secured, has awakened very general In
terest throughout the State. particularly tho
sons Of toll, whose usual supply OF produc'
tive labor has been diminished. Many such
have turned their attention to the advantages
held out to them for settling upon the unoc.
cupied lands in the interior. This Is good
movement, and cannot fail in the end to cause
these men to secure for themselves good
houses in few year,, where they may enjo,
