slavery; that you Will be pleased to cOunte-
nance the restoration of liberty to those un-
happy men, who alone, in this land of free
dom, are degraded into perpetual bondage,
and who, amidst the general joy of surround
ing freemen, are grOaning in servile subjection;
that you will devise means for removing this
inconsistency from the character of the Amer
ican people; that you will promote mercy and
justice towards this distressed race, and that
you will step to the very verge of the power
vested in you for discouragins every species
of traffic in the persons of our fellow men"
From that time to this the opposition to the
encroachments of slavery has been steadily
progressing. The growth of the Sentiment
was, however, at first slow. In 1886 Mr..
Franklin Peirce, member of the House from
New Hampshire, said, "He was unwilling
that any impptation should rest upon the
North, in consequence of the misguided and
fanatical zeal of few-comparatively very
few-who however honest might have been
their purposes, he believed had done incalcu-
liable mischief, and whose movements, he
knew, received no more sanction among the
great mass of the people of the North, than
they did at the South"
How great has been the spread of the scnti-
ment since that day may be inferred from the
fact, that the New England which Mr. Pierce
then partly represented has not now in the
House or Senate of the United States a single
member not devoted to the support Of Repub.
lican principles; that the Every few" of
1886, have become in 1859 the dominant par
ty in almost every free State Of the Union !;
and that even the Democracy now acknow.
ledge, in fear and trembling, that the next
President of the United States will be Re-
publican. a1@ss ~ e

Sr. LOUISA gentleman from Sandusky
was among those who honored Piccolomini
with their patronage at Smith 4 Nixon's Hall, in
this city, a few evenings since. From this city
he proceeded TO st. Louis, which he describes
in the following style: 1t is city of poor build
ings, poor streets, and noted for the social and
sterling qualities Of its business men. At pres
ent there are some fine buildings going up here,
but as a generality the buildings are poor. The
streets are narrow, irregular and very rough,
being paved with powders. 81. Louis is the
business center of the West, the great depot fol
merchandise and agriculture. 1t is filed with
men noted for their business liberality. Here
new conner is encouraged, and if a good man
he need not want for friends, for the people ac
on the principle, "the greater number Of good
business men in place, the greater amount o.
business done there''--a lesson that some of GU,
business men would do well to learn. They
seem to fully understand that line in Longfei
lows "Psalm of Life"
Life is real, life il earnest"
but the rest of that verse I do not think theN
understand quite so well.

"TuE law" says Mr. BULwER, " that
binds one man to one woman, is indelibly
written by nature, that whenever it is vio-
lated in general system, the human race
is found to deteriorate in mind and form"
"There are" says learned writer upon
physiology, "more females than males
born in countries where polygamy pre-
walls" If both of these declarations are
true, it must be that, in the kingdom of
nature, there is sometimes conflict of
laws; for if nature accommodates her
productions to the practice of polygamy,
and yet Furnishes polygamy by deteriora-
tion of the race by which it is practiced,
what does she do hut transgress her own
statutes?

The acts of the President of the United
States, which itis safe to approve, are not
very numerous; it is therefore, perhaps,
all the more desirable that he should re-
ceiye credit in cases where it is really
due, His recent veto of the bill to donate
public lands for the establishment Of agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges in the
several States, is an act which the judi
cious everywhere win applaud; and his
message upon the occasion is document
full of sound views and correct conclu-
sions. It should be subject Of congrat-
ulation that, in one case, the principles of
the Constitution have been permitted to
prevail over the suggestions Of interest,
and theurgency neutrality-suspicious.;
and it is no heresy at least to hope that,
in several more cases Of a similar charac'
ter, the same summary but effectual medi
cine will be administered.

HENRY REED, Editor.
Cincinnati, Saturday, March S.
/ CORRESPONDENCE containing important news,
collected from any quarter of the world
No NOTICE taken of anonymous correspondence.
We do NOT return rejected communications.

IT is not easy to imagine more sense
less proceeding than that in the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, to withhold from
naturalized citizens the power to vote
within the State, until after two years
from the date of naturalization. 1t is
evidently party measure, and, what is
strangest of all, emanates from the Re
publican party-its effect upon which will
be most disastrous. A large majority of
tho Germans Of the United States, dis
gusted with the treatment they had re-
ceived in the Democratic party, to whose
power they had so essentially contributed,
hailed the origin of the Republican or
ganization as one that afforded to them
the means to give expression to those ideas
Of civil freedom, which they seem to have
inherited from aremote ancestry. Strange
as it may appear, with party whose pro-
fessed principles are so like their own,
they were received with suspicion, and,
by variety of petty annoyances and acts
of discredit, given to understand that in
the Republican ranks, they are rather
tolerated than welcomed. If they are
willing to fuse with the remnants of a
party founded upon hatred to themselves,
not as bad men, not as enemies to our
institutions, but simply as foreigners, well;
if not, stay away. In some parts of the
Union, this has been the case much more
openly than in others, and in New Eng
land more than elsewhere; but it will not
do for q national party to prescribe por-
ton of its elements locally; and what is
done by the narrow politicians of Massa-
chusetts for their own little purposes, will
be felt by great class at the farthesi
corner of the Union, and not only felt but
resented.

JUDGING from the amount that is trans
mitted by mail and sent by telegraph,
about the recent homicide at Washington,
and the scandal by which it was accom-
panied, the Americans must be people
exceedingly fond of that species of litera-
ture. The papers are filed with dis
patches and communications, which daily
amplify upon the same state of facts
The most trifing details-the mere gossip
of the city of Washington-the trash that
roues talk in saloons, and dowagers chat
ter at the tea-tables-is enlarged upon,
and paraded with startling capitals, and
marks of admiration, as if embodying in
formation of the last Importance. Why,
what are all the facts? A man shoots
his wife's paramOm. Both the shooter
and the shootee were men Of the town.
The incidents, aside from the manslaugh-
ter, are simply what occur every day, on
every street in every city. The rest was
the act of a rash fool, greedy for notoriety.
The sentiment with which the attempt
has been made to clothe the thing is, ia
the last degree, prurient and unclean-
of the same stamp with the interesting
Outcast' literature thrust, by gentlemen
afflicted with the disease of maudlin smut
tiness, in such quantities, under the noses
of this people week or two ago. Th'
wife, now that she is detected, is painted
as the last stages of contritit n and hys
terics. A fancy minister of the gospe
interferes in behalf of the weeping Mag
dalen. The injured husband relents, ant
restores the ravished wedding ring. TIL
world is edited by beautiful display @
penitence on one side and forgiveness ol
the other. Then there are thrilling aC
counts of the heroics in which the leadin
character of the play indulges-his melc
dramatic savageness toward ''the d,
stroyer of his peace" his kindness towar
her whom he still loves dearer than hi
life, but whom he can never see agar
We wonder whether there is really tn
demand there is supposed to be, for a
this indecent exposure.

Balance in hands of Grand Treasurer. .s265, ,2ll

Balance in hands of Grand Treasurer. .S265 2il 81
The report shows the receipts from one hun
dred and thirty mine lodges, but as no lodge Is
required to contribute any thing to the Grand
Lodge until it has been in operation six months,
it is inferred that there are now over two hun
dred lodges, and their membership rapidly on
the increase. When it is understood that only
twenty five per cent. of the net receipts Of sub
ordinate lodges is paid into the treasury of the
Grand Lodge, it must be seen how immense is
the sum that passes through the Golfers Of this
order. The remaining seventy five per cent. of
net receipts can only be distributed in chari-
ties, in the city or community in which the
lodge is located, each lodge having its own
charity committee, whose duty it is to relieve
(if found worthy all cases of distress which
may be brought to their notice.
OF the above receipts, the large amount Of
$58, ,l72 20 is from Cuba, and $33,7S4 " from
New York City alone.
The securities now required of the Grand
Treasurer amount to $500, 900, and it is pre-
sumed that next year they will be augmented
to half million of dollars.
In reply to the very natural inquiry, "What
is to become Of this immense fund, which must
be accumulated by the Grand Lodge in few
| years ?" we can give no better answer than the
| following from n cOtemporary: GAS this is one
of the grand secrets of the order, Of course only
the members, and only such of those as have
taken the Oriental degree, and have passed the
vale of Mysteries are permitted to know
| Suffice it to say, however, that it will eventu
ally be appropriated, when the proper tint
arrives, to some scheme as magnificent as thu
charities Of the order are large; that it viii
contribute to the spread of the glorious princi
pies of American liberty and Christian char
ties, in every nook and corner of this grea

SoMe clerical gentleman devotes col
umn leader, in the Oxford Citizen, to
abuse of us--which he probably mistakes
for argument-for having called in ques.
ton Elder KNAPP's declaration that all
men by nature hate God. We suppose
such is the power of authority-that we
must confess ourselves vanquished; but
would like to ask, if it is not out of order
the author of the article one question: i
all men by nature hate God, why do they
hate him ?

statutes?

THE new divorce statutes in England,
in the enactment of which the attempt
was made to get rid of some of the grind
ing tyranny of the old law, are said to
work badly in practice-that is to say, the
clergy oppose their administration, the
courts delay proceedings, and thereby
render them expensive. In the mean
time, applications are multiplied, and, in
consequence of the opposition of the
clergy and the timidity of the judges,
suitors are disappointed This is what is
called working badly in practice.
