County Commissioner.

FRANCIS DANIELS, Esq, of Grafton, has
been recommended as candidate for COM
missioner in this county. Mr.. Daniels is a
man in whom the friends of temperance and
good social order can place entire conf
dence, and if elected will discharge the du-
ties of his office with fidelity, and maintain
the true interest of the county.
During the year past we understand that
our present commissioner has freely grant
ed licenses to class of persons who sell
freely to common drunkards, and to persons
who are known to be dissipated characters,
and not only has the sale been in unlimited
quantities, but the article sold is said to be
drngged and impure. 1t has been sold te
fitch money from those who should have
spent it for their needy and destitute fami
lies. Considerable feeling has been EXCITED
and a reaction is taking place. The election
of Mr.. Daniels we think will tend to cor
rect these abuses, and we trust therefore tina
he may be elected.

ed in perfect accordance with parliamenta-
ny rules and it seems he was peculiarly for
tunate, for he not only secured the benefit
of the wisdom of the men appointed, but
the advice and counsel of Mr. G. himself
in the matter, and the result was just what
every one probably anticipated. But the
Senate also acted according to the parlia-
mentary usage in attaching the bill as an
amendment to the general appropriation
bill and sending it to the House for its con-
currence and which produced such pro-
found sensation and apparent concern of
mind with certain members of the House,
calling forth such patriotic illusions. This
action of the Senate might be uncalled for
and unwise, but we could see nothing that
need excite or alarm any one. On the
whole we think your correspondent will do
well to remember that others may differ
with him in regard to this matter and that
the imputations thrown out by him, are un-
just and unbecoming one of his place and
character. K.

he was simply informed of that fact and

Another state.

There are nov thrty-three States in the
Union. The bill admitting Oregon as a
State, which passed the Senate last May,
passed the House on Saturday last, by a
vote of ia to 103. Fourteen Republicans
voted for, and IS against the bill. Among
the latter we are pleased to find our own
representative, Mr. Morrill,. The constitu-
ton of Oregon is such that we regard its
admission under present circumstances as a
pro-slavery triumph, and it is much to be
regretted that any Republicans should have
lent themselves to the shareholders for the
purpose of its consummation. They have
thereby, as we view it, endorsed the odious
bred Scott decision, besides committing
themselves to course which we are conf
dent will not meet their own appreciation
hereafter, certainly not that of their con-
stituents. No one who has any African
blood in his veins can settle therein without
committing a grave offence against the dig
nifty Of this new State, and if they do en-
ter, then they are to be treated as outlaws
and felons, and any one who shall harbor or
assist them is subject to punishment as I'M
der the Fugitive Slave law. They can
bring no action in courts, can have no wrong
redressed-in fine they are not citizens.
They may be citizens of Vermont or Mas
sachusetts, and according to the constitution
of the United States, "entitled to the priv
ileges and immunities of citizens in the sew
eral States" yet they will not be permitted
to tread the sacred ground of the new State
CT Oregon. We do not rejoice in the adj
mission of State with such constitution
as that. Those Republicans who voted for
admission say they did so on general prin-
ciples. But no milk-and-water talk of s'gen-
eral principles" nor Conservatism" nor
Union saving will go down. The same
principles viii admit Utah and polygamy
or any slave State. The Republican party
must repudiate any such doctrine, or the
people will repudiate the Republican party

ca 1t is not often that literary contro-
versy springs up in Vermont, and our read
ers must make the most of what we pub
lish about Vermont Poets and their poetry.
We cannot of course afford space for the
controversy to proceed much further, and
yet we have reason to believe that what has
been said on both sides, has been read with
considerable interest. "Mansfeld and
aWinooski have made pretty thorough
assault on "Ascutney." We have received
private note from Ascutney this week,
but he won't own that he is routed. He
says the efforts to disparage the pieces at.
tributed to him, are only helping his case

addition TO the other public places. The
keepers of the leading hotels are said to
take great interest in the new Sunday moves
ment, and the proprietors of the st. Mich
olas lay at the side Of the plate OF each
guest a card containing notice of the Sab
bath service at the Academy Of Music,
with polite invitation to the guest to at
tend. 1t is thought that the ministers who
preach in the theaters and other unconse-
Grated places are benefited by it, in the at
tempt to strip religious truth of the theolog-
zeal and metaphysical phases in which it has
been so long embalmed, like an Egyptian
mummy, as to lose all appearance of life and
reality. Clergymen who preach to the mis-
celaneous and unframed crowds that fire.
ouent the theaters feel compelled to use
the language of the present day and OF
common life, as did their Great Master be-
fore them, and to get off from their theolog-
ical stills, which is an excellent thing both
for them and the cause they advocate. A
series of Sabbath evening services is held
in various churches of New York, in sue
cession, for the benefit of the medical stu.
dents, of whom there are about 600 in the
city at this season of the year.
Rev. Mr.. Kenrick, southern minister
who went over from the Baptists to the
Universalists, describes the difference by
saying that " he tried nine years TO keeI
the people out of hell, and has now preach
ed fifteen years trying TO keep hell out o
the people"

Religious Intelligence.

Revivals of religion are recorded in many
places, as progressing with much interest,
so much so that it attracts unusual atten-
ton.
The National theater, Boston, was opened
for religious services last Sunday evening,
and $500 people were present, while as
many more went away, unable TO gain adj
mission. Rev d. G. Eddy preached an i'm.
pressive sermon from the text, " Do thysel

A MANS wife sold TO Pay his debts.

In l843, Stephen Kyler of Kentucky,
born slave, was emancipated by his mas
ter. He was the husband of slave named
Cynthia, belonging to Mr.. Taylor. Jo-
seph Kyler, the former master of Stephen,
DESTROYS of securing Cynthia TO him as
wife, purchased her Of Taylor, but could
not, under the Kentucky constitution, eman-
cipate her without her emigration from the
State, He therefore conveyed her to Ste
phen in 1853 without any valuable consid-
Grafton. The conveyance was absolute on
its face, but the object and understanding
of all the parties was not TO invest Stephen
with title to Cynthia as property, but to
give him his wife. In 1857 one Dunlap
acquired two judgments against Stephen
and attached Cynthia as the property of
Stephen, and proceeded 10 sell her as
slave. To prevent this, action was brought
in the Circuit Court of Girard County, by
Stephen aud Cynthia against Dunlap and
the officer, by which they sought to have
her declared the wife and not the property
Of Stephen, and consequently not liable to
be sold as slave TO pay his debts. The
Circuit Court, after full hearing of the
case, decided that Cynthia was property
a slave-and denied the prayer of their Pc
tition. The case was then carried to the
Court of Appeals where the judgment Of
the Circuit Court was affirmed, and an or
der was made for the sale of the wife.
Had she been his COW or his horse, she
would not have been sold as these are ex-
empt from attachment by the laws of Ken
lucky. Bat as she was only his wife, all
the Courts of the State agreed that she
was only chattel and must be sold. And
this was righteous verdict, agreeing in
principle with the decision of the Supreme
Court that negroes have no rights which
white men are bound TO respect.-Woress-

FIRE IN WALPoLE.-On Sunday night
last, the store of L. B. Buffum & Co., was
burnt with most of the contents. Mrs.
Griswold occupied one part of the building
as millinery shop, and also as residence,
and she and her children barely escaped in
their night clothes, and we learn that the
fire had already reached their bed when
the children were taken from it. The fire
is supposed to have originated in the tailor's
shop kept in another part of the building
by Mr.. Wightman.
