The first Of these late phenomena, oc-
Cured on Sunday evening the 26th ult.
The papers speak of the appearance OF the
h eavens to the gazers upon the beautiful
phenomenon, in all parts of the country.
We were in the Franconia Notch OF the
White Mountains Of New Hampshire, on
that night, and rush Of the two hundred
guests out upon the hotel piazza and the
lawn, all with upturned faces, proved
that there was something worth seeing
sIrvighter up, even, than the face of tho
old man of the Mountain.
From circle at the zenith radiated-
like the spokes of wheel from its hub
bright. white flashes shooting down to the
horizon, and SO necessarily. too, were
these flashes as to give to the circle Of
light sol!dity like the fast revolving Of
a wheel when the spokes fly SO rapidly
as to destroy their individuality, Thi is
while color-or rather want of color--cor.
,nued while the phenomenon lasted, not
cl angling so far as we observed--,o
red color as in some parts Of the country.
On the morning of that Sunday little
snow fell at the Franconia Notch and
huge fires were necessary, while along
down through New Hampshire almost to
the Massachusetts line, were visible on
the Monday following traces Of frost.

A RIVAL To BLoNDIN.-Ycsterday, q man
named Grown, painter from Montgomery
county, near TenaIlytown, in moment of
mental dorangemont, rung the large bell at
tho Capitol extension, which caused a very
sudden suspension of work by tho hands,
who supposed it dono to call their assistance
in some matter requiring thoir aid He was
locturod and released, but tho lecture was OF
no effect. Last night by some means, he
got into the building and went to the top Of
tho Senate dome, over which he crawled 10
the large derrick, and climbing to the beam,
walked to the extreme end, and there took
his seat, carclessly poised at that dizzy
hight, over hundred feet from the ground.
He was noticed abot o'clock this morning,
sitting at tho end of tho beam and whistling
tune unconcernedly, quite unmindful that
Il sudden flaw of wind might dash him to
pieces on tho stones below. He was taken
from his bad emincnce," and properly So
cured, to be restored to his friends. .-Wdsk-

Mr.. Greeley In California.

The Tribune editor and philosopher is
the hero OF the hour in California. En-
crossing as is the election controversythere
MIR. Greeley over-rides il, and takes the
crowd away from Gwin and Broderick.--
His progress is triumph march; COM
mittees of reception meet him in advance;
thousands hang on his presence; he is-
welcomed by speech and cheers; spe-
cial trains are run to convey him from
point to point; public dinners are given in
his honor; the churcheS are thrown open
for his addresses; and his personal ap-
pearance, his clothes and even his bag
gage are all minutely described in the
papers. We tremble lest Horace should
lose his natural modesty and affect whole
shirts and pantaloons over his boot legs,
and the bow of his stock under his chin,
amid all this lionizing. How he looks TO
the Calfornians and what his baggage
consists Of for an overland continen al
journey appear in the following para

A Lost Child Starved to Death in the

Tho National of Wednesday last, pub
lished in Lima, AlIon county, Ohio, relates
tho particulars of loss in tho forest, four
miles from that town, of the little daughter,
aged six years of Mr.. King, whose fate
was not known for nine days, and then her

with his children to carry sOmo water to

woods. Two hours after, the children it
went out with, returned. but it was not with
them it was lost. Day and night it was
hunted for nnc days, aud on Friday last il
was found within two miles from where II

its belly over two logs, as if it had fallen and

Judge Gholson and his Slaves,

The Democratic pross of Ohio has busted
itself. for fow weeks past, in misreprcscnt-
ing the position of Judge Gholson, the Re-
publican nominee for Supreme Judge. 1t
has published lettors, and certificates, and
bills of sale, and various other documents,
all to show that Judge Gholson, whiIo a
citizen of Mississippi, did actually traffic in
human flesh. Who ever disputed is 1t was
said at tho Convention which nominated
him. that ho had bocn a stakeholder in
Missssipp and, knowing this, We arc not at
all surprised to learn that, whiIo a slave
holder, ho did sell certain slaves, us is
claimed Docs this affect his position now ;
Do tho Democrats claim that he now owns
slaves, or is in favor Of tho institution OF
slavery ; Cassius NJ. Clay has been slave
holder; but who doubts his Anti.Slavery
principles
We wcro told at Columbus, that Judge
Gholson liberated his slaves, when ho re-
moved to this State, aud VIC thought il a
good evidence that ho was reliable Anti
Slavery man. But, admitting for the sake
of argument, that he did not Iibcrato, but
sold his slaves before removing to Ohio, and
that, when he first sot his feet upon Ohio
soil no was as Pro Slayory in principle rs
ever,--and does this provo that he is not a
good Republican now Judge GhoIson has
the reputation of a man of honor, and, If he
were not Republican in principle, he
would not be likely to allow his namo to be
on tho Republican Ticket, especially as
he kn9tcs Tie sentiment trhjch dctcHted Judge
Swda, and placed him IL nomination.
For one, VIC intend to support Judge
Gholson, and wo trust there arc tow Rcpub.
Leans who would allow any ill-toundcd
prejudice against him to work out tho dc.
feat of their party.

Strange Republican Doctrine.

Thomas Corwin processes to be Re-
publican. and is now engaged in stumping
the State for the Republican Ticket
What he says is, therefore, interesting to
Republicans. In a speech at lronton, a
short time since, he used this language:
" Some people on the other side of the
river, say that they have an inherent right
to take man of my color and whip him.
But | should think they would get
into scrapc in doing it, if they could
not show that he was born a slave. We
hare no Inherent rights. Some people on
my side of the river say that no man shall
take fugitive slave back from here,
because he has an inherent right TO free.
dom. There Is, / tell you, no such MiRg
as az inherent rjgA All our rights are
given us by the compact Of the Constitu.
ton. We see there what rights every
citizen shall have"
So far as we know, Mr.. Corwin is the
first man who ever advocated such n doc
| trinc as this. Even the leaders Of the
| Democratic party never,to our knowledge,
advanced the idea that man has no inhe
rent rights. On the contrary, they have
generally attempted to uphold the iniquity
of their party, on the ground of the inhe-
rent right Of man to do as he pleases, even
though he may please to enslave his
| icllow-man. But Mr.. Corwin, ,-R Republi-
can, as he claims to be,-says there is no
such thing as an inherent right. The idea
is as novel as it is monstrous. Our rights,
; he SAYS, are all derived from the Consti-
tuition. Convince MIR. Corwin that the
Constitution upholds Slavery everywhere
and be will have no more to say--it is al
right. Had our forefathers seen fit tC
Justify murder, robbery, arson, or any
other species of crime, in the Constitution
. they formed this model Republican, Ton
Corwin would now be exhortiEg his broth
er Republicans to approve and sustain
all, for, having no inherent rights, they
could not consistently complain.
We believe that perfect fidelity to th
> Constitution does not require us to for
, get that man has inherent rights, derived
from Higher Power, and not dependen
!. upon any mere human enactment. We be
4 lleve in the Higher Law, and whoever doe
. not, let his professions be what they may
d is IL practical Atheist. Convince us tina
o the Constitution was made to strcngi then
extend and p6rpeluate the "sum Of all vii
lanies," and We will be ready to say
with Garrison, DOWN WITH THE CoNsuTU
a TIoN Thank God, that Thomas Corwi

Republican party, who have ceare
l. perception Of the truth than he, with hi

Sensible Views from an Independent
Paper, ~.

The Columbus Gozette, which main
tains an Independent course towards the
different political parties, thus speaks out
on the subject of Slavery and Democracy:
Our readers have had our views of the
comparative merits Of the systems Of
free and slave labor, in all their bearings
upon tho material prosperity, intelligence,
morals, &C., &c., of the country. In no
single respect can slavery have any
claims TO the favorable consideration Of
enlightened minds. Free institutions are
therefore desirable. The free laboring
people of the land, both North and South,
demand the preGominance Of free terrific
ry and free labor principles in our ma
tional government. They are not for a
moment willing to submit 10 the new and
monsrous dogma, that there is no free
soil out Of the free States, and that all
our mighty territories are just as much
slave soil as South Carolina. They have
been educated by Jefferson and the Faith
ers Of the Republic, the good and great
men who made our CONSTITUTIONS TO believe
that slavery is local institution that it
was the creation of local laws, and that
beyond the limits Of the States where it
was recognized, it had no existence
They know that Washington, and JefFer-
con, and all the Presidents down to Pierce,
have recognized the right Of Congress,
not only 10 declare that it did not exist,
but that it should never be tolerated in
the territories. They have supposed that
our vast possessions were for the inher-
itance of freemen, where free labor could
fnd home without encountering the
domineering insolence Of the slave owner,
or the depraving influence of slave labor.
But our modern democracy has reserved
all this, and has SET up new standard. -
Slavery with them is national. 1t extends
every where, within the limits of the fed.
eral Constitution. Freedom has become
sectional. 1t exists only by vHtue oI
local law. The influence Of the general
government, as we have all seen in Kan
sas, has been constantly, and openly ex-
erted to plant slavery, and to drive out
| and cxtermnate free labor. No man oil
ordinary intelligence is ignorant Of this
fact. The leading men OF that party have
now two darling schemes, which they are
pressing upon the country; the enactment
Of slave code for the territories, by the
general government, and the repeal oI
laws against the African slave trade.
Both of these propositions are the logi
cal and inevitable results Of the position
which that party has assumed by sustain
ing the doctrines of the Dred Scott decis
ion. There is no escape from them
They are as certain as fate, unless WI
can bring the freemen Of the nation to {

DRouTH IN WIscoNsIN.-The Milwau.

The meadows and pastures have the
appearance of mid winter, and the farm

feed out of their barns in order to keed
their cattle from starving. When we
remember that the hay crop was only a

ANNEXATION OF MAINE TO CANADA The
