-Rroviding their own Exccutloners.
The slaveholders' convention Of Maryland
adopted report urging the Legislature Of
that State to pass Law requiring all free
negroes to leave the State within limited
time, and in case Of their neglect or refuea
to obey this humane statute to impose upor
them - the penalty Of their disobedience The
mild discipline Of perpetual slavery.
The Egyptians only compelled the Israel.
ties to make brick without straw, and Chris
tian nations generally have censured the
Egyptians for cruelty and injustice in their
treatment of the free people of Israel residing
in their country. The Marylanders, howev-
or, propose to reduce the free people Of Az
rioa residing in their State to perpetual
slavery.
God interposed to deliver the oppressed
and ignorant children Of Israel and to punish
with signal overthrow their proud ant
naughty oppressors. He is no respecter o.
persons, and will not look with any more ia
vor upon the high-handed injustice Of th,
sordid shareholders Of Maryland than be dit
upon their illustrious prototypes in Egypt
He may not hurl destruction upon thei
heads by any special interposition of his man
ifest power, but in his providence every PEG
pie guilty of injustice, tyranny and oppres
sion will be punished for their wrongs. And
q people which, not satisfied with four mil.
lions Of slaves, seeks to add millions of free.
men still to the number, are only increasing
the number Of those who will eventually
wreak vengeance for their wrongs in the
blood of the oppressors.

The Able de Pradt, in his work on the Con-
gress of Vienna, publish ed in 1916, deplored
the disposition made Of Italy by the Holy Al
lance, and virtually predicted the occurren-
ces which have since occurred, as q natural
consequence Of the character Of the people Of
Italy, the policy Of Austria, and the position
OF France. His theory was that q oonfede-
ration Of Italian States should have been es-
tablished, by which the whole country would
have been freed Of foreign dominion. Com
menting upon the settlement by which the
Lombardo- Venetian kingdom was consigned
to Austria, he said:
'sThe King Of Sardinia is too weak against
France, as well as against Austria. 1t il q
dwarf between two giants.
"When the entrance to his States was de-
Tended by the strongest places in Europe,
this jailor OF the Alps cond not keep the
keys. What will he now do, with an open
and defenceless country, and when Turin can
not hold out seige?
"When Austria shall 60 as far as the Tici
no, what will the King of Sardinia do agains
his powerful oppressor2 Will he not nat
urally have recourse to Francep Here We
behold Italy again in copfagration bv The
hand of Frenchmen and Germans, as il this
country never could be emancipated by thu
stead OF those of Brennus.
"Ifit was impossible to prevent Austria tn.

have been kept, so that it should have beer

precluded the passage Of the Pc on the side
of the Legations, and her simultaneous es
Establishments in ell the little sovereignties Of
Italy and Modens, in Tuscany, at Parma
prevented. The King of Sardinia shoud
have been aggrandized, as We have stated
elsewhere, and some correctives Of the evl
inherent in the entrance of Austria into thi.
country attempted. 1t should bethe invari.
able and eternal principle Of Europe not to
permit either France or Austria to set fooi
in Italy. The welfare Of Europe requires
that there should be kingdom established
to commence at the IzonEo and terminate ri
the foot Of the Alps and the States Of the
Pope. Then Italy would form three States

Generalization ors,are Debts.

The London correspondent Of the New
York Courier and Enquirer says that now
the finances Of Europe are disturbed by war,
there will arise an inclination to invest in
American stocks and he advises, as prelimi-
nary to the movement, and calculated to pro-
mote it, that the several States consolidate
their various kinds Of obligations, payable At
different places and times, into one stock, to
be known as Consols. There would then be
one place and regular time Of payment for
principal and interest, the stock would be
more saleable in the markets, and the value
would be higher than the average value Of
the various kinds of stock which they would
supercede. The advice is sensible, ant
worthy the consideration Of our legislator
and 6nanciers. Happily Iowa has no debt Il
bother her. The little she owes will soon b
liquidated, and few Of her citizens have an
ambition to see "Iowa Consols" figuring i
the markets.

The Journal defends DR.. Eads. the noto-
rious defaulter to the school fund to the
amount of some seventy thousand dollars
And, more than that, emboldened by the
state OF Democratic sentiment, in favor Of
Eads, it claims that instead of his being de-
faulser, the State actually owes him twenty
FIVE thousand dollars. And now, so far as
the Journal can influence public sentiment
and the Democracy can carry on. its views,
Eads is to be made to appear before the pub.
lie as nm innocent, prosecuted and much
wronged man to whom the State is indebted
in the sum of twenty Eve thousand dollars
And Of course if the Democracy get in powe,
again they will right the wrongs of their
much abused champion and appropriate the
sum Of twenty five thousand dollars out oil
the State Treasury to reimburse him for the
amount withheld by the State and Justly due
him.
Eow the missing seventy thousand dollars
of which the school fund falls short during
Eads' administration is accounted for BY
these defenders Of the immaculate x-Super.
intendent, We have not heard. Indeed they
do not pretend to account for it. They have
conspired with Eads, not only to swindle the
State out of the seventy thousand dollars al
ready abstracted from the school fund and
squandered upon Locofoco editors and poll
ticians, but to trump up claim against the
State and rob the Treasury OF twenty Eve
thousand dollars more when they get into
power. And they hope to frightcn respecta-
BILE citizens and journals from the exposure

private character and INDUCING in the most
low-fung personal abuse.
We are not to be deferred from the per.
formance Of our duty to the public and to the
school children Of the State by any such
course. We hold it to be the characteristic
OF the highest christian virtue and usefulness
to expose and denounce iniquity in high pla-
ces, and to defend the interests of tho publ;c
against the plnndering crew who have enlist
ed under DR.. Esds. Of course it could not
be, nor would We haveit, otherwise than tina,
the defenders OF Eads should villify us.

Gar,baldi,s wire.

Some OF the most interesting passages in
Garibaldi's life relate to his wife. lie mar
ried a lady OF extraordinary qualities, a ma
tive Of one Of tho South American States.
She WAS trained to Workmanship, AS the
most athletic habits prevail among the fe-
males OF those countries. Though, like him,
noble hearted, afectionate, and disinterest-
ed, she also possesses similar degree OF
personal courage and fortitude which have
seldom been displayed, and still more rarely
depicted, by authentic pen. After her mar
riage, she accompanied him in his battles, by
sea and land and, although usually un-
armed, aud keeping at his side only as his
companion, she sometimes aided in his most
desperate conflicts, by dealing out powder,
loading guns, and even firing them at the en-
envy. The suferings which she endured
among the mountains in times of adversely,
and seasons OF tempests, we're severe and al
most incredible. The short account OF her
escape from Brazilian guard after capture
in an engagement, and her journey of sew
eral days and nights, on horseback and alone,
through wild forests, swimming swollen
torrents, by holding to the main or the tail
OF her horse, is exceeded only by the sad
narrative Of her death, in 1849, on the banks
Of the Pc, when, after resolutely accompa-
nying Garibaldi on his retreat from Rome,
she landed with him, in one Of the boats in
which he was seeking to reach Venice, then
the only place in Italy which had held out
against the enemy.-lN. Y. Courier and En-
