 Afraca, p. ID Alas! the Queen of Eng lan'l has survived King Gezo; she has had the pleasure of learning that eight hundred of her colored brethren were clubbed to death over royal grave, and so saved from < the horrors of the middle passage" and she can now take comfort, if she can, from all the balderdash of Exter Hall, but her dreams will be made horrible with the groans of those eight hundred wretches slain to appease the angry ghost of Gezo.
 This very Mr. Bowen is the missionary who, under a mistaken idea of duty and philanthrophy, aided the English policy by stirring up resistance against king Gezo, when the whole slave coast made a desper- ate attempt to sweep out the English and all their friends. This was in 1850, and very interesting account of 1t is given in Mr. Bowen's book.
 Unhappy Gezol he fell upon evil days he lived too late or died too early; his was the very darkest hour, when benight- ed philanthropy covered the earth with a darkness that could be felt; if his span had been prolonged but ten years, he would have brought those Kindred darkies to better market, the land would have flowed with plenty of rum andftobacco, and the people thereof would have looked radient in tasteful breech-cloths from the looms of Lowell.

Sad Accident

We learn that young gentleman nam ed Top, student of the Lebanon Law School, shot a fellow student named Burke by accident on last Friday night. It seems that he was endeavoring to explain to his classmate the manner in which the shooting was done Tn recent rencontre, and used a pistol by way of illustration; and in pulling the trigger provedto be heavily loaded and the contents were lodged in the breast of the unfortunate Burke, who is now lying in critical position. It is sincerely to be re- gretted that persons are so careless in the handling of fire arms, and it is as much matter of regret that students should re- qulre such articles of furniture at all.

 1t IS for the negroes best interest to be proV!det with a master, and every sensible citizen knows it would be one of the most glorious acts of humanity which the nine teenth century could boast off every free negro in the United States were thus pro- vlded for.

Er The three items following are clip ped from the Nashville Union and Ameri- can:
 The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot denies that the South American members of the House have de- termlned that the speakership of the next Congress must be conceded to them. They will be ready to yield that office, he |" has reason to think, " to the free States, "upon condition that just, liberal, and unexcep- tlonabe man shall be selected as the candi- date; one for whom they can vote without compromising themselves at home; such a
 h, for instance, as Mir. Corwin, perhaps Mi Sherman, or Mir. E. $. Morris, or others that could be named.-N. y. Fri bune.
 Of course no one doubts the entire will lngness of the southern know nothing lea ders to sell out, bag and baggage to the black republicans, the moment they can do so without too far compromising at home''
 1t was rumored in Washington on We'd nesday that France and Sardinia had con cluded a treaty with Gen. Miramon, by which he was to cede them the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and they to furnish him with funds. Our government does not believe the story, 1t is said
 The late know nothing platform exhorts the opposition throughout the State to pre- pare for the work of reform. They cer- tainly need reformation, but it is a oues- ton in our mind whether they are not be- yond the hope of amendment. Pope's ssr- want heard his deformed, misshapen mas ter praying most devoutly, on several oc- casions " Lord mend me, Lord mend me- At last he ventured to interrupt the poets devotions by asking, '' master don't you think it would be easier to make new man, than to mend you?"

Gold Images found in New Granada.

The Panama Star of July l4th says:
We saw yesterday, some twenty pounds
of gold images, idols, etc, recently taken
from an Indian "huaco" (burying place,)
near David, in this State, and brought here
for sale, by Mr. Manuel Fernando. 1t is
currently reported that the company who
are engaged in this speculation have taken
out eighty thousand dollars worth from this
same "huaco."
Among the lot we saw some curiousy
wrought allgators similar to those found
in the Indian burying places of Peru and
Mexico. At what date these relics of antiq-
ui;y were deposited here, no one knows.
Some of them look old enough to have been
made by old Tubal Cain. The alligator
seems to have been in great veneration by
the aborigines of the countries, AS we'll as
in ancient Egypt
No doubt large quantities of manufactur-
ed gold lay buried all through North and
South America in these Indian "huacos.'
In all Of the wars between different tribes,
no enemy was ever guilty of disturbing the
resting places of the dead.

NUMBER 40.

Such was the action and such were the
sentiments of the Wing party seven, eight,
and nine years ago. This action and these
sentiments were universally received by all
the Wings of those days. Since that time
the whig party has been dissolved, and most
of those who acted with it have united
themselves with the black-republcan party
here at the North, which is under the in
huence of the aboltionist, as we see it plain
ly is in Ohio. What are they now asked
to do! Simply to declare that "abhorrent
to the moral sense of the civilized world" of
which they approved but few years ago.
This is what they must do if they continue
to act with the black republican party; they
must condemn their own action and vilify
the men whom they have ever accepted as
the rightful exponents of constitutional and
governmental questions. Is not this likely
to prove too hard a dose for the old wings?
Will not they now "dlscountenance all efforts
to continue or renew this agitation, whenever,
wherever or however the attempt may be
made" as they declared in 1882.
