Now and Then.

Our readers are aware that the Alpha anil
Oinega of the Douglas Democracy is the right
of shareholders to carry their slave property in
to the Territories, the same as any other prop
erty may be carried there from the Free States
This doctrine the Pldin Dealer thoroughly en-
dorses. We now quote from Plum Dsater
of Dec. 5, 1849, in order to show that Doug
las, in bis biggest JUMPS cannot out.jump his
Cleveland organ The article, heading aud all, /,
is as follows
SLAVERY IN THE New TERRITORIES Ger
tain southern gentlemen contend that the slave
holder has the right to go with his slaves into
the new territories, where slavery not only
does not exist, but is prohibited, and to hold
those persons as saves-persons who are only
slaves IN sight of the State law whence tbe
STAKEHOLDER emigrates that is, the STAKEHOLDER
claims the right to carry into the new territory
the local laws of his State so far as the owner
ship of his slaves is concerned, without the au-
thority, and in defiance of the authority of the
layv-n,ating Bower of the territory. This isin-
deed an absurdity. Suppose the citizen from,
| Massachusetts moving to the. new territory
should claim to carry with him, for his owr
use, its laws of inheritance and distribution
and likewise, that the emigrint from LouSian;
should claim to carry the law of that State III

WHAT MAKES eMAN.

p a man never knows what he is capable OF
until Ea has tried his pcwers!s There seems
10 be no bounds to human capacity. Insight,
energy, and will, produce astonishing results.
; How often modest talent, driven by cireum-
stances to undertake some formidable work
has felt its untried and hitherto unconscious
power rising se to grapple and to master, and
aftefward stood amazed Sc It's own unexpected
success.
Those circumstances, those people, enemies
and friends, that provoke US to any noble un-
dertaking, are our greatest benefactors. SOp-
position and persecution do more for a man
than any seemingly good fortune The sneer
OF critics, develop the latent fire Of the young
poet. The anathemas of the. angry Church
iuhame the zeal of the reformer. Tyranny,
threats, fagots torture, raise up heroes and
msrtyrs who might otherwise have slept away
sIothfhl and tEoughtless lives, never dreaming
!. what splendid acts and words lay buried in
their bosoms And who knows but the
wrongs of society are permitted, because d
the fne gold which is beaten out of the crude
ore of humanity
Here is the truth worth considering. Arr
you in poverty? Have you suffered wrong
Do circumstances oppose you? Are You be
set by enemies Now is your time. Neve
lie there depressed and melancholy. Spend nt
more time in idle whining. Up like a lion !
Make no complaint, but if difficulty fight you
roar your defiance. You are at school, thi
is your necessary discipline, poverty aud pal
are your masters-use the powers God ha
given you, and you shall be master at last
Fear of failure at first is discipline. Accel
the lessons trust the grand result; Up an
up again ;sstrike aud strike again, and 20
shall always gain whatever the fortune of t
days or to-morrow's battle.

Horrible Affair--SeS en- Waite Men
Burned to Death by the washoe TE-
dians.
4 correspondent of the Sacramento Union,
writing from Y yirg5inia City, confirms the re
cent tidings Of seven wEite men barring been
burned to death by indians, in the Washoe
region:
1t appears that these victims formed the
party of Norman f. Garfield of Butte corntT
Can6eld s party, about the Sd or 4th of May
Big Megdows with the intention of visiting
Winnemucca at his camp at Pyramid Lake,
and endeavoring TO obtain his peace permission
to prospect for silver IN the vicinity of the
lake. To disarfn the Indians of any thought
of hostility on their part, aud to inspire as far
as possible feelings of Confidence and friendli-
ness. they went without weapons of any kind
with the single pexcepeiensof revolver which
Garfield was persuaded to barry.
A few days after the volunteers were with
drawn FROM pyramid Lake, the regulars being
then stationed there. .somesof TIE latter discov-
cred. among the aeettohwoods, below where the
Indian village had stood, and near the place
where the Trrckee empties into the Lake, tied
to as many trees the bodies or the charred re
mains, of seven men who had been burned to
death. Two or three had been fastened to
the trees with log chains, and the flesh had
been entirely burned fs6rs them the others
had been tied with raw hides; and the apper
portions of their bodies bore traces of identi-
fcation, particularly that of Garfield, who
was a robust and powerful man, remarkable
in for., and features His lower limbs and
theslower part of his frame had been consaIn-
ed, with the evident design to protract suscep-
tibility to pain, till the bones we're charred !
but the upper part of the chest, the arms and
shoulders and the head we're eptire-even the
grim military 1shiskefs worn by the victim
were iinsinged. 7 sa
Suffice it, that the evidence leaves to the
friends of Mr.. Garfield and his companions no
possibility of doubt as TO his identity, and
the horrible process of his and their death.
The remains of the victims of this terrible
deed were carefully inferred in one grave, be
neath u large cottonwood tree, near the spot
on which they died, by the soldiers uLdel
Capt. Stewart.
e They diea-died the most terrible Of all
deaths which it is possible for the imagina-
ationato conceive.
Garfield was from Cambridge, Washing Oh
county, New Y ork, where his family resided
when he carne to California in 1849. He was
about 33 years of age at the time Of his death

The hardest trial of those who fall from af-

many in whom they confded was miserable

POVER TYs

Poverty runs strongly to fun. a man is
never SO full of jokes as when he is reduced
to one shirt and two potatoes. Wealth is
taciturn and fretfi1. Stock brokers would no
sooner indulge in a hearty laugh than they
would leud money on a second mortgage
Nature is a great believer IN compensatiops.-
Those to whom she sends wealth she saddles
