A SINGULAR SroRr.-A young and
good looking woman was arrested by the
police of Boston, at Ordway Hall, on Sat-
urday evening last, for being in male at
tire. She stated that she belonged to a
respectable family in New York State, and
had been married about three months
Her husband had treated her very badly,
and in Philadelphia, where they went to
reside Immediately after their marriage, he
pawned nearly all her clothing. They
came to Boston from Philadelphia, and
have since been boarding in private fam
lily. Her husband has upon some pretext,
and partly by threats, prevailed upon her
to don male attire. At the time of her
arrest her husband was near by, and in fact
followed the officer and herself part of the
way to the station house. She expressed
much qualification at her detention by the
police, as she hoped it would relieve her
from her husbands cruelty.

How THEY RECEIVED THE MAN WHO
"BAcKED Down" THE VIRGINIA bully
A western paper says an enthusiastic pub
lie reception was given 10 Mr.. Potter on
his arrival home. The Congregational
Church of East Troy was filled to
overfowing, and Mr.. Potter was called on
to address them, which he did in the most
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Elderkin, of Elk
horn, also addressed the meeting. The
Independent says: "Many gray haired
men were among the throng; one, as he
came forward, took Mr.. Potter warmly by
the hand and said, 'God bless you, Mr..
Potter, stand firm to the right" The
meeting was a most pleasant one, and
must have been highly gratifying to Mr..
Potter.

Now the Charleston Convention has ad
journed, we trust that its proceedings in
full will be published in pamphlet form
and scattered throughout the country. A
better document for the Republican party
it would be hard to get up. The people
would Ike. tosbe. refreshed with bold re-
monstrances of Butler and Pugh against
further progress of slavery aggression, as
involving the utter ruin Of the Democrat
ic party North. They would delight to
peruse those gushing pro-slavery ssnti-
ments of Yancey, which were preceded by
weeping on his part, and were attended
with the heartiest applause of nearly the
whole Southern delegation. They would
be deeply interested in. the seven days eff.
fort of great party to define its own prin-
ciples, and which then only succeeded at
the expense of harmony in its ranks. The
manifold offerings and substitutes for the
platform would also be worthy of preserya-
ton aswell as the attempts to bring forward
sundry Presidential candinates.

The Happy Family.

The Boiling Convention at Charleston,
which was par erceHenes, the convention
of Democratic chisalry, adjourned on. Fri
day. The record of its doings will be short

The Washington letters of Saturday say
that the mass of opinion, in relation to the
adjournment to Baltimore of the Conyen-
ton, though carried mainly by the friends
of Douglas to save him from immediate
defeat, has cnly put off the evil day, and
that the Convention on re-assembling-i
it does re-assemble, of which some serious
doubts are expressed-will in no event
make nomination so entirely distasteful
to large portion of the Democratic party.
Douglas, himself keeps a stiff upper lip,
and is far from abandoning all hope. He

''The scheme is full of danger, as it will
increase the enmity with which the South

men of the North who have heretofore been
friendly to his pretensions, will now aban-
don him on the score of unavailability, and
will look around for some one who will
unite all factions of the party, and stand a
fair chanc, of success.
Democrats are now looking with a good
deal of anxiety to the result of the Con-
stitutional Union Convention, and will
strive to turn its action to their own bene-
fit. So you may look out for some sharp

in its wake. A gentleman walking in bis

crash like thunder, which lasted half a
minute, and then plainly saw large body
descending through the air in an angular
direction, with velocity apparently much
greater than it could have attained by its
own momentum. Going to the spot where
it touched the ground, he found rock

The Third Party movement.


Yesterday was the day the convention styled
the Constitutional Union Convention, met at
Baltimore. Asth event now most immediate
" on the tzpis, this meeting attracts much at
tention at Washington and elsewhere. The
hopes of the Democrats. both pro and anti
Douglas, are strong that the Convention will in
some manner commit itself to course benef-
cial to their cause. The rumor that the leaders
of the movement were in favor of adjourning
till after the Chicago Convention, appean, to
have no foundation in fact. The New York
Erpress leading journal in the third par
ty movement and one supposed to be well
Ia the confidence of the managers, makes pos
tive assertion that "the Southern delegates TO
the Baltimore Convention will control its action
nearly as they please" With this fact eonce-
ded by the influential men of the party, it is
not difficult to foresee the tendencies it is in
tended the action of the Convention shall have.

awFatber Cbipioue. whose secession

Father Chinique, whose secession
from the Catholic Church some time since
has attracted so much attention among
Christian people-with his colony, has
been received into the Presbythry Of Chi
cago 20. s.. Their admission to this
Presbytery has occassioned much discus
sion in Presbyterian quarters, owing to the
fact that they were not required to be bap-
tized. The General Assembly of that
branch of the Church decided in 1S45, by
vote of 173 to eight, "that baptism in
the Romish Church is not Valid" and the
action of the Chicago Presbytery is Sc
verely criticised, and will be fruitful
theme for contention. in the next General
Assembly.

Isthis a Free Countrys

We call it so-but is it, or can IL be, un-
der existing circumstances, SO regarded by
the rest of mankind /? A free country
would imply free people-free in thought
free in opinion-free in speech-free in
action-subject always to the laws of the
land and the welfare of society. We are
taught daily that we have ever been free
in these respects, we have ceased any lon
ger fully to be so. A man residing south
of Mason and Dixon's line, or north and
going south of it, who holds to the opin-
ion and expresses it, that slavery now eov-
ers all the soil it ought, and should not be
extended on this continent, is not safe from
insult and outrage, and perhaps DEATH
Lessons which teach US that we are in a
greater or less degree slaves to the peculiar
institutioH, let us live where We may,
are daily multiplying. Free speech and
free political action are no longer tolerated.
The attempt of the Republicans of the
State of Maryland, on Thursday last, to
hold State Convention at Baltimore, was
met by outrage from the Democracy. A
mob gathered-the peace and good order
of the meeting was disturbed-the perso-
nal rights of those present were violated,
and the Convention was broken up by
violence. For what offence? None other
under Heaven, except that of meeting to
give countenance and support to the polit-
ical sentiment of Washington and Jeffer-
son, and provide for peaceful delegation
to the approaching Republican National
Convention. What a picture for a free
country! What commentary upon the
political rights of free people! If there
is one drop of the blood of 1776 left in
our veins, it should VAIN in indignation
at such outrages, and never cool until they
are full and amply redressed. 1t is time
to decide the question whether we are free
man, or are all, white and black alike, in
the bonds of an abasing and degrading
servitude.a. Has it come to this that citi-
zens of one of the States of this Confed-
eracy cannot meet peaceably and in safe
ty, and give uterance to their opinions Of
government and its administration? II
so letit be SO understood. Let the people
know that they no longer have rights as
free citizens, and it will not take long to
re-establish them, though they shall be
first baptized in blood. With Republicans
forbearance has ceased to be virtue

This settles the fate of both the north

organization. As for the party itself, it
was broken up long ago, and the skeleton
of the organization was kept together
merely by the cohesive power of the pub

the old northern democracy are now in the

organizations, or holding back with the
vast reserve of the conservative vote, which
