ARREST OF A YOUNG AND TEARTLBSs DIGAMIST AND
THIEP.-Some time since young man, represent
ing that he belonged in Bangor, Maine, and giving
his name as William Co0mbs, became acquainted
with young lady named Sussnnah Cushman. the
only daughter Of a wealthy farmer in Carver, Mas
sachusetts. and on Thanksgiving eve the couple
were united in the holy bonds of matrmony, the
bridegroom being but twenty -four years of age,
and the bride had scarcely passed the age OF
sweet sixteen" COomhs tarried with his young
wife but very short time, when he stole her gold
watch and chain, together with considerable

city. Here he took board with a female named
Maria Ryan. who kept hOnse on Broad street aud
after stopping there few days, he left. but soon
met her on Hanover street, aud again returned to
her house. He told Mistress Ryan that his people
were rich residents of Bangor, and about two
weeks ago led her TO the hynenial altar and the
twain were made one flesh.

SENATOR CRIrrESDEN on THE UyIoy-In the
course of his speech, on Monday last, on the prop-
osition to take up the bill admitting Minnesota
into the Union, Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky.
said
With all these arguments and views. and in al
most every argument and controvcI sy that | now
witness on this floor, are mingled to give them
strength and point. either prognastics of the over
throw Of this Government, or threats against its
existence. This IL the common Strengthening
means means now thrown into every argument
here. While we prize the Union, while we wouId
am sure, and the very gentlemen who use this
language would do all they couil to preserve and
perpetuate the Constitution aud the Union, there
is not day that we are not doomed to listen here
over and over again, to threats Of its overthrow:
predictions made, little prophecies thrown ont
that to-day, or to morrow, or at some day near at
hand, this Government is to be more. Sir this
is the most unfortunate aud omnious sign that
exists in the whole country in my Judgment
If such language can be familiariy used and
thrown into every argument a make weight
as adjust in the baance-if these threats can be
made here against the existence of the Union, and
if they can have any effect upon the people of this
country, then, indeed sir, We may well apprehend
that it cannot last long. / hope it will last for
ever: and If nobody threatened it until did, it
would last for ever. Applause in the galleries +
Yes, sir, and it will last much longer than gentle
men here. by continual repetition aud reflection,
and meditation, believe to be so at hand; and
III Wouid last inuch longer, perhaps, but for these
meditatioDs. They prize it 81 highly that the re
motest danger affects them; and they forthwith be-
gin to prophecy that its end is near at hand; or
they are provoked at something which is done
which they think is adverse to the interests of the
Republic and the Union, and then they threaten:
but all this is promoting the very purpose and
the very end against which know, in their heart
they opposed, and with their hands would op-
pose.
We should do WALL I think, to throw out of all
our ordinary course of argument these threats aud
these prophecies. l believe the Union is to live
not because wish it, you wish it, sir. but it is
to live for ages; ] believe it is eushrined in the
hearts of the people, and they will be its sustain
ers and maintaners even if We should be recreant
to the part are to act.and desire its overthrow
Ii is not in our power-tbank God il j. not ia the
power of the Senate. or of the Congress of the
United States TO overthrow this Government, and
