gomery Amendment, while the Governor
and Republican members Of the Ohio Leg
slature protested against their sodoing.
1t is hardly worth while correcting
statements SO contradictory and absurd.
But these papers having no principles left
to,support, and no tenable ground on which
to base an argument to save their party
from utter annihilation, have found en-
ployment Cor theirinyentive genius, in fab
licating these stories. If they find any
benefit from the exercise, we have no dc.
sire to deprive them Of The enjoyment.
We happen to know that both versions
are totally false. That Gov. Chose'wrote
a letter, urging the acceptance Of Lecomp-
ton, is so absurd that it needs no contra-
diction. But if there was any possible
room for doubts on the subject, the sim
pie fact that the "Union' n''--Buohanan s
Organ says he saw the letter, would be,
of itself, conclusive evidence that no such
letter existed. 1t is safe to conclude that
the truth in regard to any statement made
by that paper is the exact opposite of its
affirmation.
1t is true that some of the Republican
members of the Legislature did protest
against the Crittenden Amendment, and
for aught we know, Gov. Chase may have
done the same. And we are happy % say
that every Republican, and anti-Lecomp-
ton Democrat in Congress, concurred fully
in said protest, and changed the Crittenden
proposition, by incorporating into it the
Montgomery Amendment, which is pre-
cisely in accordance with the sentiments
of every Republican member of the Ohio
Legislature, and for which they would
have voted had they been in Congress.
So far then from their being any conflict
between the views ofthe Republican mem
bers of Congress, and Gov. Chase and the
Republicans of the Ohio Legislature, there
is proved to be very remarkable coinci-
dence between them; and their views, we
are glad to say, were cordially accepted
and manfully sustained by every anti-Le-
compton Democrat in Congress, thus max
ing the true friends of freedom and justice
unit on that question. You will hardly
accomplish much by these stories, Messrs.

The Spirit OF Love.

Beyond all question, il is the unaltera-
BILE constitution of nature that there is eff
cacy in love. The exhibition Of kindness
has the power to bring even the irrational
animal into subiection. Show kindness to
a dog and he will remember it; he will be
grateful, he will infallibly return love for
love. Show kindness to lion, and you
can lead him by the name you can melt
the untamed ferocity of his heart into an
affection stronger than death. In all of
Gods vast unbounded creation, there is
not living being, from the least to the
largest, not one, even the outcast and de-
graded serpent, that is insensible to an act
of kindness. If love such as our blessed
Savior manifested, could be introduced
into the world and exert its appropriate do
minion, it would restore state Of things
far brighter than the fabulous age of gold;
it would annihilate every sting, would
pluck every poisonous tooth; it would hush
every discordant voice. Even the inani-
mate creature is not so insensible 10 this
divine influence. The bud and flower and
fruit put forth most abundantly and beau
tifully, where the hand of kindness is ex-
tended for their culture. And if this
blessed influence should extend itself over
the earth, moral garden of Eden would
exist in every land; instead of the thorn
and brier, would spring up the fir tree and
the myrtle; the desert wopld blossom and
the solitary place be made glad.

Am Alleged Seducer Shot i'm New
OrleslMS.

Mr.. Chas. H. G. Stone, of the firm of
Dudley, Nelson & Co., of New Orleans,
was shot at his desk, in the Office, on Sat-
urday, the 9th ult., by Mr.. Geo. w. Har-
ley, an old citizen of New Orleans. Itap-
pears that Mr.. Stone was sitting at his
desk writing, when Mr.. Harley entered the
door and called to him; upon his turning
around, Mr.. Harley, who had his pistol
raised, shot him instantly. Mr.. Harley
charged young Stone, some time since,
with seducing his daughter, and refusing
to acknowledge the offspring; and some
three months ago threatened to take his
life if he did not marry her within GER
tain specified time. That time having ex-
pired, and Mr. Stone failing to comply with
the request of the parent, Tin the mean
time declaring his innocence) the father
proceeded as above stated. Mr.. Harley,
when arrested and taken to the police sta
ton, threw his pistol upon the desk, and
exclaimed, "That weapon has done my
self and daughter full justice this day"
Mr.. Harley has been residing in New
Orleans for a number of years, and in his
position as teacher, educated many young
men who now fill important positions
there. 1853 " a"f -
Young Stone has stated since he was
shot, and expecting to die, that he was in
nocent of the charge. At the latest ac-
counts his wound was not considered as
dangerous as was at first supposed, but
there was little hope of his recovery. The
bali was extracted, having taken an upward
course to the left. There will, in all prob
ability, be some startling developments in
the investigation of this unhappy affair."

Hints Gor the Flower Garden.

AS the time for working in the flower
garden has now come, few hints on its
management viii be appropriate:
1. Clear off all dead stalks Of herbace.
Gus plants, trim and prume shrubs and
roses. Put everything in good order. Z
Ii. Manure rose beds with well rotted
manure; be sure that all seeds it may have
contained are decayed, or they will ger
inmate and fill your beds with weeds.
Throughly rotted manure is the only kind
fit to be used in the flower garden. Leaf
mold from the woods is also excellent as
fertilizer, and is almost essential to the
proper cultivation of many species OF
plants.
III. If you intend to transplant and re-
move hardy shrubs, do il Immediately; no
time should be lost, especially with
spireas, forsythia, &C., as they are now
bursting their buds. Hardy roses should
also be removed at the present time. The
remontantes of hybrid perpetuals, must be
cut down to a strong bud; they will flower
all the better. Roses that bloom on last
years wood should be pruned with refer
ence to this. The tender sorts, especially
such as have been kept in greenhouse,
should not be removed to the open air
until the last Of May. a .n'
w. In selecting perennial herbaceous
plants, be guided by good taste; better OBJ
tain few choice things than host oi
roots with queer names and doubtful repu-
tation. Ploxes, niles, bellfowers and peo-
nies are all good. Add others according
to taste. .ir nJa e' % lTa.
V. Sow hardy ANIMALS In warm bor-
der, by the middle of April, if the weather
is fine. Tender sorts, four weeks later
You may secure succession of blooms
by sowing seeds of the early blowing sorts
at different periods. Many kinds improve
by transplanting, others will scarcely sur
vive the change. II is good plan to
have little plot of nursery ground from
which to supply the places of plants that
are done Towering in the garden. You
will by this means always keep the garden
blooming. H IatHH
vi. Weed your beds of dubious rooted
flowers, and take care that your tulips are
not destroyed by hail or high winds.
Trim your box edgings, and put the gravel
walks in prime order .

TRAGEDY AT 1EcoMproN-A mai

TRAGEDY Ar tEcoMpToN. man
named Roderigue, Deputy Postmaster at
Lecompton, K. t., was killed in that
place not long since, by a young man
named VIM. Thompson, from Ohio. 1t
seems the young men of that place had
been in the habit of making game of
Thompson, on account of some transaction
in which he played an unfortunate part;
and on Saturday, the Sd inst, Roderigue,
with three others, having met him, com
menced to ridicule him, when Thomp-
son, drawing his bowie knife, made an at
tack on the party, and stabbed Roderigue
to the heart. Thompson fled and has
not been arrested. Roderigue was from
Pennsylvania.

Adjournment of the Ohio LeglsIa-


CoLUMBus, April l3, 1853.
The session Of this season is at close
The adjournment took place at half past
two this morning, after most tiresome
session from half past seven. The busi-
ness Of the night was hurried along in such
whirl that it was impossible to follow it,
consisting In a constant interchange of
messages between the two Houses, con-
curing in and dissenting from amend
ments, dc.
The1ittle Bill for the payment Of Clerks
in the Treasurer's Office was carried
through at last, though it was broughtfor-
ward and voted upon, in various ways,
not less than six times. The sum was a
trife over 5000.
1t is neither possible nor useful for me
to give you any detail Of yesterday eve
ning's proceedings. The leading subject,
of course, WAS the Appropriation Bill and
its various items.
The Senate. of course, passed the Bills
for the change of the State House Board.
The appointments of the Governor were
all confirmed except that of Mr.. Gutherie,
as Trustee of she Ohio University.
The objection to him was that he had
been very strong anti-slavery man in
early times--the sages of the Senate not
being able to endure the ''odor of good
name" of that variety. The Republicans
entered their protest against this piece of
petty tyranny. "i
ri serve you with this a list of the Acts
of general and local nature, and the Joint
Resolutions of this session. have not
put the titles in the exact terms of the
bills, but have altered the language so as
to convey better idea of the laws than
their technical titles would convey.
That appropriations are about of the
usual amount, with tolerable leaning to
the liberal side. s.t t..g e..
1t would be needless for me to tell you
that the session closed in an uproarious
frolic, in which school boys at recess would
have been left as far behind as they are in
years. The last scenes consisted of sing
ing Aud Lang Syne, Oft in the Silly
Night, Home, Sweet Home, and Star
Spangled Banner, which was broken into
by a message from the Senate announcing
their readiness to adjourn, when Mr. An
drews rose and delivered his self-prompted
valedictory, and in his best style of the
Crapean Pators of Auglaize-after which
the Speakers hammer fell. CHIsPA.

Gov. Chase -RcpubIicsln Members
of the c-LecOHnpIOn--
The Crittcndem Amend mlent.

A brace or two of very silly falsehoods
are going the rounds of the Democratic
papers, about Gov. Chase and the Repub-
lican members of she Legislature. Some
of these papers affirm that the Governor
wrote to the Republicans in Congress-, urg-
ing them strongly to vote for Lecompton.
The Washington "Union" swears he saw
the identical letter. .-.,
Another set affirm that the Governor
and members of the Legislature wrote to
said Republican Congressman, protesting
against the Montgomery Amendment
which passed the House, and they are
ready to swear that the Republican party
is ruined and collapsed because every Re-
publican in Congress voted for the Mont

Emancipation In Nlissourl.

The New Orleans Crescent comedies
that Missouri must become free State in
ten years. On this subject it says:
"We have frequently expressed the
opinion in times past, that Missouri was
gradually, but surely, approaching a con-
dition that would secure a triumph Of the
emancipation cause in that State, and an
easy triumph at that. The period which
has elapsed since has confirmed those opin'
ions; and we now entertain little doubt
that emancipation will succeed in its work
before the expiration of decade
Hemmed in on the North, East and West
by free soil territory-with slave property
becoming daily more insecure and less val
liable for that reason-and with the extra
ordinary inducements to sell which the
high prices negroes further South readily
command, furnish, it would be wonderful
rather than otherwise if the Shareholders
there did not dispose of their property and
pocket the proceeds, without any regard or
care for its effects upon the existence Of
the patriarchal institution at home. Such
is human nature everywhere.
Missouri is partially freesoilized now,
and has been for some time, the st. Louis
District being represented in Congress by
an open and avowed Freesoller-F. P.
BLAIR, Jr.-and there IS no question what
ever in the minds of intelligent men, that
the Anti-Slavery sentiment is increasing
in all portions of the Commonwealth.
About the time Missouri goes, Kentucky
and Maryland will follow suit, and thus
the South will be shorn of three great
States-deprived of three great frontier
bul lwarkS." ..' ...

ACCIDENT TO Mr.. J. w. GRAY.-J. w.
Gray, of the Cleveland ''Plaindealer, met
with an accident on Thursday evening,
which destroyed one of his eyes. He was
standing near his little son while the lat
ter was exploding percussion caps on a
toy gun. A portion of one of the caps in
bursting, entered the right eye of Mr..
Gray, very little to the right and below
the center Of the pupil, passing entirely
through the corner, giving free discharge
to the aqueous humor, and lodging in the
anterior chamber of the eye. Owing to
the peculiar shape of the piece, the ope-
rating surgeons found it very difficult to
remove it,>but finally succeeded.

A SLAvE-STEALER CHAINED TO SLAVE.

A SLAvE-STEALER CHAINED TO SLAVE.
John Jones Moore, the respectable
looking scamp who was arrested several
days ago at Ashland, Va, (says the Pc
tersburg 'Express,") in company with
VIM. Jackson, slave belonging to Mrs.
Frank Weston, of Charleston, S. c.,
whom he had abducted per the under
ground, passed through this city on
Wednesday evening, en- route for Charles
ton, in custody of the police officers from
that city. The noble Greelyite was
chained by the wrist to his too confding
friend, Bill, who couldn't help blowing
on him at Ashland, and presented an APP
pearance of the most abject shame the hui
man countenance can be capable of ex-
pressing. 1t was most appropriate
method of securing the scoundrel. He
was caught taking the slave to the North;
now it was Vice versa, and the slave was
taking him to the South.-Rich. South.

GIDDISEss, HEADACHE, Sc.-Thosc pains and dsa-
grceable feelings are generally symptoms of some
other complaint; such as dyspepsia, ap0pleXy, and
various others, all OF which caused by corrupt
noxious matter, clogging the various circulations;
hence, stream rush of blood TO the head, and by
the excitement great pressure on the brain. Thus
it will be that all the above painful and dis
tressing maladies owe their origin to the blood. Dr.
Morse's Indian Root Pills acknowledged to be
the only medicine that will thoroughly purify the
blood. They enter the blood, and follow the stream
of life on its journey through the system. They root
out all foulness and impurity, and drive out every
unhealthy obstruction. They should be taken every
night in sufficient quantities to operate briskly by
commencing with two pills on going to bed three the
next night, four the next; if the symptoms not
removed, commence again with two pills and go up
again as before. Continue in like until the
blood is thoroughly purified and all pain and distress
is entirely removed.
