The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-10-13

A ToUaH SroRY.-Henry Black, Of
Newport, Pa, who undertook to serve
the head of hen, was attacked by .
rooster, which spurred him on the hand
into an artery. About two weeks after
the accident he was attacked with in
tense pain, sickening sensation of the
heart, and his sufferings became insup-
portable. At this date remarkable
occurrence took place. He drew his
entire frame together, as though to
gain strength for an act, and his voice
broke forth like the growing of zoos
ter! This was repeated from time to
time, and snch was the similarity of
voices, that outside listeners asserted
their belief that it was rooster. After
four days of indescribable suffering be
died, and crowed no more. -

Madame Jumel, Widow of Aaron Burr

Madame Jumel, Widow of Aaron Burr.
We have heretofore announced the
arrival of this distinguished lady in our
midst, whose visits to Saratoga are as
regular as the seasons, and whose an
nual return is looked for with as much
pleasure as that of a long absent
friend.
Shecame here ostensibly to look after
an estate which she owns, located near
our village, but like all other ladies she
ningles with, and seems to enjoy, the
festivities of this gay watering place
with as much delight as if she was the
reigning belle of the season.
Madame Jumel, once the wife and
now the widow of the celebrated Aaron
Burr, is indeed very remarkable
woman. Although she has outlived
most of her contemporaries, having at
tanned to upwards of eighty years, she
seems to be just as full of life and vi.
vacity as she was forty years ago, and
apparently possessing all her faculties
uBimpaired.
She still keeps up her slendid country
seat, which is located at Washington
Heights, on the Island of New York,
and which she has owned for upwards
of halt a century. This residence,
which is unsurpassed for the beauty
of its location, was at one period during
the revolutionary war the head-quar-
tiers Of General Washington. The
mausion and grounds have been
adorned by Madame Jumel, by many
rare objects of art, collected by her dur
ing her travels in foreign countries.
Nothing seems to afford this lady
more delight than to sit down with a
friend and recount the vicissitudes of
her long and eventful life, and the var
led scenes through which she has
passed, both in her own country and
In Europe. She has no hesitancy in
giving her life. as the wife of Aaron
Burr, and although she has voluntarily
dropped his name and appears to take
no pride in having been associated
with one who was so distinguished
among American statesmen, yet whilst
sojourning in foreign count tries, she has
usually travelled under the name of
Burr.
This lady, with an ample fortune at
ct her command, dispenses it for the
encouragement Of benevolent and
praiseworthy objects and to benefit her
frisnds-with a consciousness that she
has glided thus far down the stream of
time without anything on her part to
cause regret for the past or fear for
the future. She seems to be happiest
when contributing to the happiness of
those about her. We hope the evening
of her days may be as happy and
serene az her past history has been
prosperous and that she may continue
TO make her annual visit to Saratoga
Springs for long years to come.-Sar-

Douglas next quotes him, it is to be
hoped he will refer to his Speech in the
Senate, in 1856, in reply to Senator
Foote. I'VE quote passage:
81 am extremely sorrysto hear the
Senator from Mississippi say that he
reouires first the extension of the Mis-
souri, Compromise line tosthe Pacific,
and also that he is not satisfied with
that, but requires, if understand him
correctly, positive provision for the
admission of slavery south of that line.
And, now, sir coming from slave
State, as l do, / owe it to myself, / owe
it to truth, rowe it to the subject, to
say that no earthly power could induce
me to vote for a specific measure for
the Introduction of slavery. where II
had not before existed, either south OF
north of that line.a- Coming as | do
from a slave State, it is my solemn, de-
liberate and well-matured determination
that no power, no earthly power, shall
compel me to vote for the positive in.
PRODUCTION of slavery either south OF
north of that sline.A Sir, will you re-
proaeh, and justly, too, cur British an
cestors for the introduction, of this in.
stitution upon the continent of Americs
/ am for one, unwilling that the poster
ity of the present inhabitants Of Cali
fornia and New Mexico shall reproach
US for doing just what we reproach
Great Britain for doing to US. If the
citizens of these territories choose to
establish slavery, and if they come
here with sconstitutiens establishing
slavery, / am for admitting them with
such provisions in their constitutions
but then it will be their own work, and
not ours, and their posterity will have
to reproach them, and not us, for form
ing constitutions allowing the institu.
ton of slavery to exist among them.
These are my views, sir, and l choose
to express them and / care not how
extensively or universally they are
known" e
Hear him further; he says:

rent to flow through my veins, | will
neuer, NEVER, NEVER, by word OF
thought, by mind or will, aid in admit
ting one rod of free territory to the

The San Juan Island Controversy.

The San Juan Island Controversy.
The controversy between the United
States and Great Britain respecting this
Island, renders it point of interest.
In running the line, under the Oregon
treaty, between what is now Washing
ton Territory and the British posses
sions, the main channel of the Straits
Of Juan de Fuca was set down as our
northern boundary. But it had not
then been discovered that there were
two main channels, one to the north
and the other to the South of the Is
land of San Juan, and that the lat
ter, which would give the Island to
Great Britain, was the inferior one.
More careful surveys, however. have
revealed the fact that strict construc-
ton of, the. treaty would carry the
boundary line through the northern
channel, and throw the whole of the
Island of San Juan upon our side.
The island is valuable in itself; but
scarcely worth going to war about. 1t
was occupied by the Hudson Bay Com
pany prior to the treaty of Oregon,
and since that has been occupied by
both British and American settlers
the latter having eltthemselves more
at home there, probably, since the OPP
erations of our Coast Survey seems to
have established the fact that it was
the rightful domain Of the United
States. This discovery of the Coast
Survey was made several years ago
but the boundary question which it
suggested has remained in allegiance,
awaiting, as such matters are too apt
to await, some such necessity as have
now arisen for the final adjustment.
The immediate quarrel at San Juan,
as we understand the matter, grew out
of some disorderly conduct, of one or
more of the American settlers, OF
which the British authorities took cog
nizance and claimed jurisdiction and
arrested the offending parties. With
little regard, probably, to the merits OF
the case, the Americans generally re-
sisted this interposition of authority,
and attempted rescue and had the
audacity even to make requisition
upon General Harvey for military as
sistance, which requisition the officer
had not the sagacity, or the prudence.
or the courage, or the sense of duty
and propriety to refuse. Hence his i'll
advised, ultimate step of taking militia
ry possession of the island, and estab-
lished himself in sort of extempora-
neous martial authority.
Our Government, with a perfect
knowledge of its rights, is confident
that an unbiased examination of the
matter in controversy will convince the
Government of Great Britain that San
Juan is our property, and that the con-
troversy will end by fair and definite
settlement of this boundary question,
so that it may never again come up to
disturb the peace and good feeling OF
the two countries.
