our own free white working men, tends to depress

made forthwith to organize in solid pbalanx, and
give new inputSion to the cause at the approaching
contest. 1t is essential in view of the great polit-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Lieuts. Bell and Will
iams, who had a collision on Sunday morning, 10
a barber shop. had a meeting this morning at five
o'clock, beyond Bladensburg, where they were
accompanied by their respective friends. II is
reported that Bell fired at the word one, the ball
penetrating Williams hat. Williams who was
the assailing party. having given the satisfaction
demand, discharged his pistol in the snow. A

SLAVERY IN ILLINoIs.-A White Nan Sold
The State Register has the following:
THE Peoria Union, which has hitherto opposed
the Lecom pton fraud, now thinks the Presidents
view of the subject is just the thing. and that the
Democratic papers of this State which oppose the
fraud are 'treacherous' to principle! The latest
quotation of adult male negroes at New Orleans is
LOCO a $1,000. but il seems that an article of
white man can be had at Peoria for S4l7."
We object to this depreciation of laborers in
Northern Illinois. The post'ofice at Peoria is
worth $4,000 per annum, and a promise of that,
with SAT- cash in hand, exceeds the quotations in
the New Orleans market.-Ch Chicago Times.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Ledger writes:
Gen. Calhoun's statements amount to nothing.
The administration by the late coup d'etat, have
drawn q distinct line between it and the Douglas
Democrats. They have turned out a Douglas
Postmaster at Chicago, as q warning to all other
seceders from the party. The effect is visible al
ready. The power of the administration will be
felt in the House. is
If the Senate can rassAhe Kansas bill within n
month, it will certainly pass the House. Furtherl
delay tcould be dangerous"

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 24-The correspond

good deal of comment upon the fact that Gov.
Robert j. Walker is taking such slight part in the

DEMOCRACY DYING ouT.--We learn from the
Washington Republic that since the LIST. of Janu-
1856, three thousand school houses have been
built in the state of Illinois. The Republic adds:
this fact taken in connection with the detection
Of Douglas, is a most ominous one to democratic
prospects in that state"
SHAW, THE MANsTEALER.-A correspondent
writes to US from Mahoning county, Ohio, under
of the 22d. of February, that;
"On the 9Th. Of present month John B. Nessle,
Of Lowellville, o., travelled from Enon to Pitts
burg in company with a man calling himself |.
Shaw-who told Nessle that he was on his way
home, after delivering up a fugitive slave in Tus- J
Alabama, Tor which he had received five
dollars and his expenses. He said the !
slave was as white as Nessle, had escaped from !.
slavery in 1852, lived in Pittsburg and had a fami- !
ly, that he SHAW had worked on the same plan /.
tation where the slave belonged and knew the !
slave, that when the slave found that be lShaw)
was after him, he ran of, and went to Missouri,
and that he followed him and caught him on the
line between Missouri and Kansas and delivered
him to his master. Nessle says he would know
Shaw anywhere"
The facts as far as hitherto disclosed in this
case have been already published and extensively
upon in this city. The only value
the above article has, and that is great, is to
direct the attention of the proper officers of law 10

and justice. lie is in the hands of the law and
