A SwNDLER AT LARGE-An Old Resident
of Ohio Detrauds his Neighbors of $4,000
and Takes Figh.-The last issue of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
A shrewd individual named w. Fl. Seaton,
and an old resident Of Richland County, has
succeeded in doing the people of that sec
ton out of some twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars, by obtaining their signatures to
drafts on banks. He sold large drove of
cattle last week to man in Lancaster,
Penn, and borrowed money from a man in
Mansfield to pay the freight on them, but
instead of paying said freight he put the
money in his pocket. He was suspected of
fraud, and telegraphed after at this city on
Saturday last, he being quartered at the
American at that time. But he succeeded
in getting away before his arrest could be
effected. The police have ever since kept
the telegraph wires hot in their endeavors
to ascertain his whereabouts, and yesterday
he was heard of at Harrisburg, Penn. To-
day Officer McKinstry received dispatch,
stating that Seaton was safe in Canada, but
had been overhauled at the Suspension
Bridge, previous to crossing the line, and
made to disgorge portion of his ill-gOtten
money. Why he was then permitted to go
does net appear. He has always lived in
Richland County, and had borne an unblem.
ished character up to the time Of the above
specified developments.

THE CAUSE OF LAMARTINBis HATRED OF
AMERIcA-Hts Intense Vanity, ErtrGDaqaRee
and Mendicancy.--The PREss recently con-
tanned an account of an Interview between
our American poetess and Lamartne, during
which he expressed the greatest hatred for
this country. The sole reason that he gives
for this is, that the Americans did not sub
scribe for certain new publications Of his,
and raise an enormous sum to relieve him
from embarrassments, brought on by his
own inordinate extravaganza. For this one
sin, the whole nation is condemned TO the
eternal hatred of NJ. de Lamartine; and nm
der such a condemnation what is the nation
70 do2
"Lamartine first became known" says the
Philadelphia EDeRiag Bulletin, ITO the gen
eral public of the United states in the
stormy days of lS4S. Before that he had
only been known TO the literary few, who
could appreciate very graceful poetry aud
prose in foreign language. When he
turned up as a politician, and represented
Republicanism in a great political crisis, the
Republican heart of America was excited to
enthusiasm, and Lamartine, for the moment,
became demi-gOd in our estimation. But
when il was found that the man who acted
a part so noble, albeit slightly theatrical, in
a revolutionary crisis, could not direct tho
storm that was raised around him; when it
was fully proved that Republicanism, as in-
augurated by him, was total failure, very
naturally American enthusiasm for Lamar
tine subsidized. The French themselves fell
away from him; he showed no real, practi-
cal, administrative talent; the republic we
had reioiced over went into other hands, by
which it was converted into despotfsm.
Lamartine left political life forever"
This lamentable failure of a political ca
reer, begun so showily, operated, of course,
on the popular mind everywhere, and es-
pecialy in this Republic. But NJ. de Lamar
tine seems not to have comprehended this.
He faDcied that he, as hero of very few
days in February, l848, was entitled TO the
lasting admiration and gratitude of the
world. He set himself up as an object of
public charity; had subscriptions opened to
pay debts contracted in a most luxurious,
extrayagant and reckless mode of life, and
in certain parts of his own country his ap-
peals were literally responded to. But the
Americans, ninety-nine in a hundred Of
whom cared nothing for his literary talent,
and all of whom were disappointed at his
political failure, refused to be influenced by
his mendicant solicitations. Such thing
as a successful author begging for aims dis
gusted them, and it is rather a satisfaction
to learn frSm NJ. de Lamartine that his agent
sent here to beg for him returned without
one subscription.

THE IMPossIBILITY OF SPEAKING THE Truth
FROM TIE PULPIT.-At the recent Unita-
rian Convention in Massachusetts, Rev. Mr..
Pierpont expressed his sentiments on the
freedom of the pulpit with great boldness.
No man who is man (he said) can stand in
mind. If he attempts it, there will be found
three men in his congregation who will use
their efforts with success to unhorse him.
One shall be manufacturer or seller of in
toxicating drink, and another a political
trader, and the third interested in some way
in cotton. He alluded to his own labors as
a pioneer in the West; but maintained that
there is everywhere want OF freedom on
the part of the preachers. They can not at.
tack sin that now exists, but are only allowed
to denounce the Seribes end Pharisees. Hs
would thank any body who could see how
there can be a free pulpit to tell him of the
way.
