quested that no notice should be taken of
his death in either house Of Congress. He
has been writing an abridgment of Con-
gressional debates and wrote up to within
day or two of his death. He would
write when it was utterly impossible for
him to sit up and when he could barely hold
a pencil in his hand. He brought his work
down to 1850, and the last sentence is a
paragraph complimentary to Henry Clay.

Gsg> The Lecompton democratic prints
are trying to drown their defeats in Con-
gress and in the recent elections by raising
a cry that the Republicans are on demo-
cratic ground in supporting the Crittenden
amendment. Now the Republicans are OPP
posed to the Lecompton constitution. The
question came up to reject the bill, or IN
other words, to cut off its head at one blow
This was the first proposition to kill 1T, tor
which every Republican voted If that
does not set the Republicans fair and square
against Lecnmpton we would like to know
what would. But the House chose not to
kill the bill in this form. 1t was then pro-
sposed to send Lecompton back 70 the peo-
9ple of Kanzas. This was simply another
Fform to kill the bill, and as the Republicans
failed to kill il outright on the first PROPOSE
ton, they very properly voted to strange
it in this form. If the bill had been slaugh-
tered at the first outset the democracy would
have congratulated themselves that the Re.
publicans didn't get the amendment. But
if Republicans have taken democratic ground
where is the administration They all
voted against the Republicans and conse
quently they must have been acting agains
the democratic party. So the late demo
cratic administration party are now the

Having failed to consummate scheme Of
forcing slavery upon Kansas, it has now
wreaked its vengeance on a colored citizen
of Boston. Dr.S. s. Rock, colored man and
a citizen of Massachusetts "to all intents
and purposes" applied through Senator
Wilson for a passport TO 60 abroad. He is
known as man of culture and popular
lecturer, and wishes to travel in Europe
for his health, which cannot safely be done
without passport such as is usually grant
ed to citizens of the United States when
travelling in foreign countries. Mr.. Secre-
tary Cass refuses to give passport and
asserts the ridiculous falsehood that no
passport to colored persons has ever been
granted since the foundation of the govern.
ment. Passports have been granted to col
ored persons. Rev. Peter Williams, a col.
ored preacher in New Jersey received a
pdoepOIt III lou, III WHICH ilt was tdiitu u
''citizen of the United States" This Of
course was before the democratic announce.
ment in the bred Scot case. In 1884 Bob.
ert Purvis and wife, of Philadelphia, both
colored, asked and obtained passports to &c
abroad. A passport was also given to Mr.
/ Raymond, colored lecturer well known il
this state, in 1854, and also another to on,
Mr.. Putnam of Salem. The State laws Of
the south do not recognize colored mar
as a citizen, Massachusetts laws do. Blu
the state laws of South Carolina must pre-
vail not only in that state but in Massachu
sets also. That is states rights and de
mocracy. And if any free state demurs t
this the general government backs up tn
! slave state. Thus slavery is, to-day ma
tional institution, fostered and petted by
democratic slave-holding administration.

Quite recently, surgeon of Northampton,
England, becoming enraged at the care
lessness Of a boy-servant, attempted 10 pun
ish him for his misconduct by placing him
in the dead-house, where a corpse dressed
in suit of the lads clothes, was lying in a
coffin. After his master had left, the boy,
to revenge himself, propped the dead body
against the wall, and getting into the coffin,
covered himself up. Presently the surgeon
opened the door, and asked Nov. boy, do
you want any supper" No answer was
returned, and the questioner, seeing what
he supposed to be the sulky prisoner lean
ing against the wall, repeated his query,
with the same result. In a moment after
ward, the boy started up in the coffin, and
said, If he won't have any, | will ?
Quivering with terror at beholding What
appeared TO be an animated corpse, the
surgeon fled a short distance, and then fell
down in a at, He recovered from that,
but is said to have died the next day, from
its effect upon his nervous system.

ALL FOR LoyE-A LADY MURDERED
BY her LoyER.-Robert Schmidt, a young
German, was engaged TO marry Harriet
Seidler, of Theresa, Dodge Co., Mich, an
estimable girl of twenty summers; and the
attachment existing between them was as
romatic as that of heroes and heroines in
the novels Of old times. Schmidt was poor,
and resided in ST. Paul, where be worked
at trade, encouraged with the hepe OF one
day applying his scanty earnings for the
comfort and welfare of his much loved Har-
riet. They had been engaged one year and
Robert went TO Theresa, expecting 10 take
from thence, bride; but the parents of
Harriet forbade The marriage, and in the
first flush of despair, the lovers determined
TO die together. 1t was arranged between
them that Schmidt should first shoot her,
and then himself: accordingly, on Saturday
the 18th inst, he shot her with double bar
relied gun and attempted to commit suicide,
but lost the cap from the remaining barrel,
and foiled for the moment. Raving ike a
mailman, he rushed to the river and plunged
in; but was rescued and placed in Jail
The first charge of shot entered Harriet's
brest, and she expired on the following Sun
day at two o'clock, acquitting her lover of
all blame, and charging her parents with
being responsible for the tragic deed. What
will be done with the wretched man, is not
known he lies in prison, piteous object to
behold. Such fearful events should be q
warning to all parents, that they attempt
not to thwart nature, by acts of domestic
/ tyranny, or attempted regulation OF the
young hearts most passionate impulses.
