WoRru Observation-Disclosures says
the Huntsville Advocate, when obsta'
cles interviewed and the "coursc oftrue
love did not run smooth" it has been
the custom for the anxious pair to Wis
it Tennessee to be made one. But the
last Legislature Of Tennessee has put
a veto to such marriagcs-Tenncssee
can no longer be a Gretna Green for
our North Alabama fair ones, whose
parents or guardians object to their
wishes. The law. the license and the
bond taken all require, as condition
precedent, that the woman to be mar
ried, must be an "actual resident" of
the county where the ceremony is to
be performed, and if she is not then
the whole is declared to be null and
void. So marriages of Alabama wo-
men in Tennessee cannot now take
place--such marriages are not legal.

OUR FLAG.

OUn CLhU,
Most Of our exchanges are teeming
just now with matter relative TO out
RACES perpotrated upon the American
Aagby British cruisers, and the APP
prehcnsion is that war between the
two nations will be the result. Some
of the ablest journals and prominent
statesmen urge that our national hon.
or and rights have been too shamefulx
ly and cruelty disregarded and tramp
led upon to avoid war, unless Eng
land make reparation greater than it
is supposed she will. Indeed, many
loudly proclaim that reparation is and
should be impossible,--that the ag'
gressions are intolcrable, and nothing
short of war can satisfy our insultcd
nation. Other journals equally able
urge that we be satisfied with ces-
sation Of her improper practice, and
indemnity for the future.
Now, as for US, we would most GER
tainly deprecatc war with England
more than with any other nation. No
two nations on the globe ought to be
more closely bound together in inter-
est and feeling than Great Britain and
this country. Nor do we believe there
is. War between them would be a
fulGllment of what is most desired by
the dcspots of Europe. Both are pro-
testant countries, both enlightened,
and to see them mutually engaged in
destroying the power of each, would
be hailed as n glorious sight by ma
tons engaged in the effort to reduce
mankind to former serviIity to the
Court of Rome.
Yet still, we are unable to see how
war with England is to be hono'ubly
averted. American vessels engaged
in lawful trade have been fired into and
searched by British cruisers, and so
often and outragiously too, that it re-
ally would be cowardly and wrong in
the United States to be satisfied with
a trivial indemnity. We have been
lorbca ring until lorbearance is no
longer a virtue" and now it behooves
us to ask for reparation boldly and une-
quivocally. True, US the Louisville
Journal observes, "thc exercise Of the
right of visit, well guarded and strict
ly defined, and under full responsible
ty for its lightcst abuse, is absolutely
necessary to the maritime interests OF
all nations" but this right has been
daringly transgressed by John Bull
Some 25 or 80 American schooners
and barks have been ovcrhauled and
searched, and fired into by these British
cruisers, and now it seems right that
if the stars and stripes are inadequate
to protect our peaceable merchant
vessels from English bullets, few
fast sailing war steamers should be
rcsorted to, and that forthwith Wcare
young, and our navy is deplorably
small, but fright is might" and there
is no nation that can cope with our
power when continued aggressions
impcl it to action.

Horrible Accident.-Men Boiled
in Liquid Iron.

A French Exchange has the following:
From Cherbourgh we have the details
of frightful accident. In the naval work
shops Of that town, there is foundry for
the manufacture of heavy iron castings
An immense crucible hangs over the fur
mace, and when the metal is in a state of
fusion, this crucible is removed from it by
means Of machinery, and the glowing ore
poured into moulds which are formed in
the sand. 1t happened that some twenty
workmen were engaged in the operation Of
casting, when suddenly the screw which
held the handle of the pot gave way, and
in a moment the liqued metal flooded the
workshop like the lava from a Volcano
Ten of the workmen were overtaken by the
flaming torrent, and their feet and ligs lit
orally burnt to ashes. Some of the men
were more fortunate than their fellows,
and escaped by climbing upon the beams
which supported the root, where, safe them
selves, they beheld the fearful race between
their unhappy comrades and the molten
iron, which overlook the poor wretches,
shriveling up their limbs with its fiery
touch. A subscription was opened for the
unfortunate men, while waiting for the
hospital at Vissinet to receive them. The
Russian officers at cherbourgh, to whom
the authorities were about 10 give ball,
subscribed literally for the support Of the
victims and their families.

Nine Months of Mr.. Buchanan's
Reign.

As was well remarked by a friend, in
our hearing, few days since, President
Buchanan's Administration bids fair to
render that of President Pierce respectable
by contrast When the latter began his
official term, and before he became the
property of the fire-eaters, his administra-
ton was marked by several acts which COM
mend themselves to the good sense of the
people of the nation. But in Mr.. Buchan-
ans case this has not been so. He has
been, from the first, body and soul, entire
ly under the control of the most violent
and fanatical counselers-in and out of
his Cabinet-that can be found in our
country; and during the few short months
his administration has lasted, he has been
guilty of acts by which he has not only
disgraced himself, but also our government
and nation. In viewing his Presidential
course, one is struck with amazement at
the egregious and palpable weakness which
has characterized his official conduct; and
our surprise is heightened by the consider
alton that up to the time Of his Inaugural
ton Mr.. Buchanan was thought to be
man of shrewdness, caution, and of consid-
cradle firmness. But the veil has been
lifted, and we see the man as he is,-a vas
cillating, inconsistent, imbecile and plant
person, without will or principal, and hav
ing no claims to the respect or allegiance
of those whom he has been called to gov

storm at New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Jan.

NEW ORLEANS, jan. 10.
We had sudden wind storm this after
noon, accompanied by rain, which was
nearly a hurricane. Fifteen ships broke
from their moorings and were considerably
injured. The c. S. Pennell of Bath, and
the Ellen Stewart were badly injured
Several houses were unroofed, and the
buildings at the lake end of the Ponchort-
rain Railroad were half destroyed. The
damage to steamers by breaking loose,chim-
neys blown down, &c, was immense
Two lives are known to have been lost. 1t
is impossible to give full particulars, names
of boats &c, tonight. The storm, which
only lasted about half an hour, blew down
some fences and injured the verandahs of
houses in the city. 1t is not known
whether it extended to the Gulf, but ma
ny fears are expressed with regard to its
effect in that region.

From Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IL.
A gentleman from Kansas by last nights
train states that Calhoun was to commence
counting the votes of the election of the
21st of December ON Tuesday last, in the
presence of the presiding officers of the
Legislature and Gov. Denver. As soon
as this was done, a messenger would be de-
spatched to Washington with the vote and
the State Constitution. Calhoun would
not leave the Territory until the result of
the election for State Officers were in.-
The result of the election of the 4th is still
uncertain.
Col. Henderson of Leavenworth was
forcibly taken from the Stage a few miles
from that city by a party of Free State
men on the 18th, and has not been heard
from since.

Frauds inKansas Elections.

1t is given out from Washington that
between 5000 and 1000 of the people OF
Kansas are for Pro-Slavery, was shown by
a recent election,-but Gov. Denver, for
some unknown reasons, makes no publici-
ty of the returns. If the following from
the Chicago Prsss be correct, we have
good reasons for the suppression for the
present:
At two precincts in the county of john
son, on the 21st ult-Shawnee and Ok
ford-a majority of 1000 votes was thrown
for the slavery clause, and this in the face
of the fact set forth by Governor Walker
that the whole country does not entertain
more than from three to four hundred
votes! twill be remembered that through
the enterprise of the Dictator Calhoun in
copying names from the Cincinnati Direc-
tory, from fifteen to sixteen hundred pro-
slavery votes were polled at the latter in
October.
All Kickapoo, 1,O17 pro-slavery votes
were polled where at the outside there
were not more than 400 legal votes, end
where many pro-slavery Democrats, dis
gusted at the open frauds practiced, refus-
ed to vote.
Taking these wholesale frauds in conec-
tions with the minor one perpetrated by
Missourians at Leavenworth and most if
not all the other border town, there is good
reason for believing that not more than one
third of the votes cast at that election
were legal. The question naturally arises,
Will the Administration take any steps to-
wards the reputation of these barefaced
frauds? Will Gov. Denver, who on the
eve of the election announced his deterlnin-
alton to prevent foul play, take any pains
to ferret them out?

Spirit Of Washington Letters.
The New York Times letter saws:

WARRINGTON, Jan. IA.
It is found that the. Minnesota Consti-
tuition sent to Congress is not the one sign
ed by the entire Convention and ratified
by the people, but the one adopted in the
minority Democratic segment of the Con-
vention, while it was divided, and before
the two segments united. It is signed BY
only the Democrats of the body, who
numbered less than majority of the dele
gates elected. There is little substantial
difference in the two instruments.
This palpable and astounding fraud evi-
IDENTIFY has two objects-frst, to ignore al
together the Republican majority in the
Convention, and second, to involve the
Minnesota case in irregularity, so as to fur
nish an excuse to hold it back until its ad-
mission can be made the price of the ad-
mission of Kansas.

COLUMBUS, Jan, Is.
Mr.. Slade spoke two hours in the Sem
ate yesterday; the Democratic Senators
refusing to take recess, or allow him
any other opportunity to express his views
on the Kansas Resolutions. He went over
the entire ground of discussion, touching
on all its vital points, and elaborately
showing the dishonesty and inconsistency
of the Democratic President, and leaders,
on the Slavery question. During his
speech he held in his hand, and at inter-
walls read from inexhautible little book,
containing all sorts of curious facts in re-
gard TO the men he was scoring; and when
he drew to close, he turned to the Dem
ocratic Senators, and reaching the book to-
wards them, demanded: "Does any gen.
tleman want to see this book?n
Mr.. Phelps-"No! no! we don't want
to see it" Laughter.)
Mr.. Slade-"You are very welcome to
it, if you would like to examine it. 1t be-
longs to that .yaller-kivered literature that
every democrat liks to read. Come, gen
tleman, take look at its contents"
But the unselfish Democrats virtuously
forbore to avail themselves of this gener-
Gus offer. They pressed the previous ques-
ton; the resolutions were adopted BY a
party vote, and the Senate took recess.
During the afternoon, there was very
spirited debate on Brooke's anti-jaiLlaw
bill, in which, among several other gentle
men, Mr.. Monroe participated so far as
TO demolish a couple of friends of the

The News by Telegraph from
Kansas and Nebraska.

The Legislature OF Nebraska has passed
resolutions strongly protesting against the
action of the Lecompton Costitutional
Convention, which "fact' is power in
the hands of Douglas. The Lecompton
Constitution, submitted to the people of
Kansas as whole by the legal Legislature
of the Territory, called together for that
purpose by Secretary Stanton flor which
wise and patriotic act he lost his head
has been voted down by an overwhelming
majority. That "factious majority" has
made itself felt. Now let the Admins
tration insist upon the admission of Kansas
into the Union under repudiated Con-
stitution, if it dare. The news is, also,
that the ticket of the Free State Boiling
Convention for State officers, under the
Lecompton Constitution, has been elected.
This is as we expected, and is right. 1t
was not reasonable for the Free State fire.
eaters to refuse to vote that time. The
resolution of the majority of their Conven-
ton to do SO was carrying the policy of
mastery inactivity little too far. The
Free State Boilers ticket is as follows:
For Governor, Geo. w. Smith, of Law
renee; Lieut., Governor, W. T. Roberts, of
Wyandotte; Secretary of State, P. B.
Schuyler, of Burlingame; State Treasurer,
Andrew ]. Mead, Manhattan; Auditor of
State, Joel R. Goodwin, of Centropolis;
Attorney General, IThos. Ewing, Jr., of
Leavenworth; Congress, Marcus J. Par.
rott. If the Lecompton Constitution is
forced through Congress, these would be
the officers Of the new State; but if that
Constitution breaks down in Congress,
then the election of these offers will be
null and void. Perhaps the election of
Freesoilers under that document, which is
despised and rejected by the people for
whom it was made, will cool the ardor of
the Southerners in its support. The 'facts"
are coming to light.

wT The Legislature of Ohio has alrea-
dy laid out work enough to keep them go
ing the remainder of the winter. Because
the last Legislature was Republican, is a
sufficient reason for the present one, to re;
peal all it did. The Locofocos were very
hostile to an extra session of the Legisla-
ture when they were in the minority, but
since they got the power, they have sud-
denly awakened to the necessity of annual
sessions. The truth is, the "Bienial Ses-
sion" clause in our Constitution is hum
