LECTURES FOR THE People by THE Rev. H.
SrowgE1 BRowN We have received from
Geo. G. Evans No. 439 Chestnut Street, Phila-
lelphia, work with the above caption. 1t is
composed of series of lectures by the Rev.
Hugh stowel Brown. We copy the following
from r. Shelton Mackenzie's preface to the
work
One very touching Lecture, upon the Seventh
Commandment is said, and we can well believe
it, to have created such sensation in Liver
pool that over 40, 900 copies of it were sold,
many of the purchasers being that unfortu-
nate class who constitute the Great Social
Evil' of large populations. There are two
addresses "on the Streets,' full of argument
based on observation, and, for earnest, COM
mon sense, practical statements, and clear
reasoning, commend us to Mr.. Browns COM
ments ON the Lords Prayer, the Golden Rule,
Saturday Night, and the homilies against
Cheating, under the quaint heading of "Stor

CITY ELECTIO

As the time grows shorter and we view
with an important eye the present financial
aspect of our city, we become tile more con-
WINGED Of the necessity of change in the
Council. THAT extravaganza exists, to n great
extent, ana that there is a leak in the money
matters somewhere we are all convinced
That increased taxation is the only mode
whereby this extravaganza can be kept up
and this leak supplied is n matter that need
not he argued. To be sure there are some
people who have the impudenoe to tell you
that the taxes are less now than they were
you that the Sun was not shining at noon, on
clear day If it suited their purpose to do so.
We think that every voter in this City has
sense enough to compare his receipt of this
year with thatof last, and strike the difference.
The Council, itself, does not deny that the
tax has been increased a half per cent this
year. Then, where is the necessity of pub
fishing such a barefaced fasehood. II is to
deceive the people and gull them into voting
for the authors of this extravaganza. II is
far the good of the City that we oppose this
extravaganza. We would have the taxes low,
SO that buildings could be erected by capital
lists and yield them handsome interest. We
want builders to make money by the operation.
There is no use to bubble over it, no man
can purchase land and build houses, to rent,
in this City and make it pay, while the taxes
are so exorbitant. If spectators have an

treasure. thousand pecollections of her
innocent CANDLES may glide through their
excited fancy, and Cause pang of heartfelt
anguish. But their is one consolation to
sOoth the afflicted mind-to raise the droop-

the fact, that a bud so early nipped by the
frosts of death, is only transplanted and will
bloom forever in eternity.
Dull is the eye that once so bright,
Shone on her friends so dearly,
And shed around the spirit light
That fades in death so early.
Cold is the form that promised fair,
To I'LL warm hearts with gladness,
But nipped in bud the blossom rare,
sAnd filled those hearts with Sadness
But far beyond the silent tomb,
Love gamers up her treasures,
Where death, nor grief, nor transient gloom,
Can mar eternal pleasure.

of $50, and another party was robbed Of valuable
gold watch and chain
There being prospect of any more booty in the
saloon, the dis0rderlies again went on deck, and
blowing out all the lights, went to the forward part
oil the boat again among the coored people. One
man and his wife were standing together near the
| bow, and thought they would escape observation
The man. however, WA knocked dOwn, and he was
held while his pockets were riled Of all they con
tained lie was then stabbed several times and his
wife, who had witnessed the whole proceeding was
outraged in his presence while she vainly cried for
help. Some of the passengers again called on the
officers of the boat and the committee who had char
tered her and volunteered, ifealled on, to que the
riot and conine the dsturbers of the peace in the
hold until the boat should return to the city. The
attack was continued until several colOred menwere
severely stabbed, and much larger number horribly
beat Among those that were stabbed was man
employed as drayman by Mr. Welch, in South street
one by Messrs. Smith K Edmondson, ON cleapside,
and one by Messrs I. 7. Martin Bro on calver st.

said one of them died from the effects of his wounds.
About daylight on Sunday morning the boat
approached Cambridge, and the captain, at the
request Of the passengers, landed at that town.
Sheriff Vickers, of Dorchester county, was notified
of the Outrages that had been committed, and sum-
noning two or three of his deputies proceeded TO
the wharf for the purpose Of arresting the guilty
parties At first they defed his authority but
messed the whole of the riot, and some four the
party were taken from tie boat. Two of them
gave their names us Skinner and Robson, but
the names of the others were not ascetaned.,
They were taken before Justice Robert Il. Rolin- |
son, of Camridge and Charles Goldsborough, Esq |
the prosecuting attorney, appeared on the part of
the State. The whole of them were committed TO |
jail for trial Mt the approaching term othe Circuit
Court for that county. The boat then proceeded
to the camp-meeting, where the police force was
SO strong that no attempt was made to create
disorder on the ground. They left again on Sun
day afternoon for this city, but several of the
passengers were obliged to stop in Cambridge,
because their lives were Threatened, and came up
in the kent on Monday afternoon. While the
Express on the way up to the city nm attnct
was made on the engineer who escaped by locking
himself up-in his room, his assailants threatening
to throw him overheard. The whole affair Is
represented by those who witnessed it as having
been most fearful. Females were thrown into

heir sake to desist, but they pad no heed to it,

err Express left Baltimore, says the SUM- for Lloyd 5
springs camp.meeting, on the Choptank river with
between 800 and 400 passengers on board. Shortly
after passing Fort MeIIenry it became evidart that
there would be truoble on board, and alarm took
holt of the passengers Before reaching the Bodkin,
party of disorderly men, who rallied under the
cries of Eubolts, Ranters and Rip Raps went
forward and made an attack on the colored people,
who Occupied that part of the boat. At first they
amused themselves by knocking down the males
and females of the colored passengers when apli-
cation was made to the captain to take some meas
ures to put stop to such proceedings Nothing was
done, and after time the disorderly disposed went
down into the forward saloon where several coored
men had taken refuge. The ASSISTANTS approached
a man. and one of them stabbed him in four places,
the side and chest. They then blew out all the
lights in the saloon, and began indiscriminate
attack on white and colored Mr. Jeremiah Slaughter

NOMINATE GOOD MEN.

Democrats, be wide awake and nominate
good and true men for the Council-men who
will spend the public money as economically
as if it were their own--men who will not
throw ii away for partizan or selfish purposes,
and success must be certain. A large majority
of our people are opposed to people carrying
their politics in their market baskets buying
Know Nothing or Democratic beefand potatoes.
Politics has nothing to do with our City Elcc
tion. What has our Council to do with n high
or low tariff, Bank or no Bank, Slavery or no
Slavery it is a question of good government;
it is question whether improvements shall
he made in our City or whether the money
shall be sent abroad where it will pay. better.
This is a grave matter to be considered, by
the voters, between now and the City election.
Look well to it, foi II may take years to
change the Council and all that time the taxes
and City debt will be increasing

BLOWING OUR OWN TRUMpET.-If the proprie-
tor of public journal does not blow his own
trumpet, a little, it would be almost an i'm
possibility to make his paper succeed. Ad-
vertisments are resorted to to work the paper
into public favor giving tho casual reader
nudge, that the paper in question, is the
greatest family joural of the day. This is all
fair business transaction; ON the same prin-
cipe that shop keeper exhibits the good
qualities of the commodities he has for sale.
We have done very little at blowing the
trumpet ofthe Inquirer yet, but in the future
We intend doing so. We think, that il ever
paper did receive encouragement, from the
public, With but very little effort, it is the
Inquirer It is read by nearly every body (;
It is talked of by every body. If there is
anything good done, they say the Inquirer
did it, if any thing bad is done, the Inquirer
has to bear the blame. We begin to think
that it is becoming an influential paper. We
want the people to talk about it ; ifthey don't
like it, let them condemn it. We would n
great deal rather, a large number of our citi-
zens, would curse us, and our paper, than to
let us pass by and say nothing. If we did
not deserve censure we would not get it if
we did not deserve praise for doing good
action, we would be left in the lurch and not
patronized, Every now and then some
body steps into our Office and says: "What
did you do to Mr., he is abusing you
most numerically We answer him after
this fashion: "My dear Sir, you are very
much mistaken about the intentions of Mr..
-; to be sure we never did any thing to
iniure him directly perhaps we did not play
second fiddle to him some time it might be
that he had an idea of humbugging the DEM
ocratic party out of an office, and we were in
strumental in defeating his object all these
things might be, but at the same time these
croakers know that whatever we did was for

the benefit of the party; not ourselves. w,
ask no favors from the Democratic party every
body knows, and we intend to give no quar-
tiers to the fungus that grows on the paren
stem, and saps its life blood. Mr.
is merely blowing our trumpet "over til,
left" which invariably works right and
brings subscribers from quarters where theil
scandal is transformed into praise" Curse
us and like the rebel grass the more they
tread upon us the more we will flourish
Sometimes, we cannot help smiling, when our
agent comes in from his daily labor, and ex-
hibits his list of new subscribers, to find that
one or two of these gentlemen who blow our
trumpet, over the left, have come in and lit
orally surrendered; yes, intentionally
We say to ourself, these cannot be such bad
fellows after all /; they have answered double
purpose. First they abused us, giving the
Inquirer notoriety, which otherwise it would
not have got, and then turn around and sub
scribe for the paper-giving the lie to their
former actions-thus neutraizeing its effect
and contributing the almighty dollar in the
right quarter. We would not give the toss
of a copper to please or displease any man,
We will print what we conscientiously believe
TO be true if it will make us subscribers let
them conceive will be glad to put them an
our list-if il makes us enemies let il do it
we want no such friends. Let them patro-
nize men born to be slaves fellow feeling
will draw them together.
For the last week our democratic friends
have been blowing our trumpet, over the left,
because we did not put up the ticket, nomi-
mated OH the 18th inst, at the head of our
paper. We want them to understand, that
the Delaware Inquirer is conducted at No. 95
shipley street, by the individual whose name
is at the head of it, and needs none. of their
to manage it. He had his own
reasons for not putting up this placard, at
he head of the paper, which is no member of
he democratic party's business. If the best
nan in the universe, had been nominated on
hat ticket it could not go at the head of the
inquirer. We print this paper to suit our
elf, and If any man, who takes it, don't like

ave no objections to our friends and foes
lowing our trumpet, whether it is for good or
adj. There is one thing certain it will never

James Montgomery
DEAR SlR;-There was an escape happened
here to-day, that has not become publicly
known yet, and they are trying to keep it
quiet. James Rozell, who was convicted for
getting clothing on false pretenses, has been
in the Sherif's good-graces for some time
past, and was allowed to run in the street as
much as he pleased, until he got drunk one
day after being to Wilmington, and told the
Sheriff that he was going back again that
night, which the Sheriff refused, when he be.
come very angry, and swore that he would
go, and picked up chair i'll the Sheriff7s
office to strike some man that he went on at
such rate that it took three or four men to
down him and put handouts ON him, and |
believe he struck the Sheriff; after he was
it took three men to bring him in
to prison, where he has been closely confined
until to-day, when Mr.. Gemmell let him 60
down the Sherifr's cellar to get some oil to
oil the furnace WITH and he stayed so long
that Mr.. Gemmell went to see what kept him,
and he found that he had gone out OF the
cellar window, and has not been heard of
since. ******
