LINCoLN's IDEA OF SLAVERY TWENTY
THREE YEARS AGo.-The following protest
was presented to the legislature of Illinois on
the 23d of March, 1887 =
Resolutions upon the subject of domestic
slavery having passed both branches of the
general assembly at its present session, the I'M
dersigned hereby protest against the passage
of the same. They believe that the nstitn-
ton of slavery is founded on injustice and bad
policy, but that the PRONUNCIATION of abolition
doctrines tends rather to increase than to
abate its evils They believe that the con-
gress of the United States has no power, I'M
der the constitution, to interfere with the in
stitution Of slavery in the different states
They believe that the congress of the United
States has the power, under the constitution,
to abolish slavery in the District of'Columbia,
but that the power ought not to be exercised
unless at the request of the people of said
District. The difference between these opin
ions and those contained in the said resou
tons is their reason for entering the protest

REMARKABLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-On
the Hudson River railroad, Wednesday, this
week, an up express train killed three men,
near Peekskill. George Rawcliffe, Henry w.
Hall, and Thomas Granger, were walking on
the track near Peekskill about one o'clock in
the afternoon, when Hall and Granger got into
a quarrel, clinched, and fell upon the track.
This occurred just as the train appeared in
sight, but it was impossible for the engineer to
observe them at that distance. As the train
approached he gave the usual sign of danger,
and continued to blow the whistle up to the
time Of the accident. The warning was how
ever unnoticed by the two men fighting but
the other, George Rawcliffe, went TO them as
soon as he observed the train, and attempted
to separate them, when Hall seized him by the
arm and held him on the track. The engin-
eer, now seeing it was almost impossible to
prevent running over them, reversed the
engine and applied the patent brake, but too
late-as before the train could be stopped, it
had passed over them, instantly killing two
and fatally inJuring the third. Rawcliffe the
young man who attempted to separate the 9TH
ers, was struck upon the head by the cow
catcher, and thrown over upon the 9TH
er track. He struggled hard to free him
self from the grasp of Hail. but the latter
held him so that the head of the unfortunate
young man projected over on the track upon
which the train was. He was instantly killed
Thomas Granger was underneath Hall, and
was mangled in horrible manner He was
also instantly killed. The other, Henry w.
Hall, was struck upon the head by the cow
catcher and thrown to the side OF the track.
He lived nearly half an hour, but was speech
less and insensible On examination it was
found that his skull and side were broken.
The accident was seen by several persons

age, and lived at Oyster Bay, L. l. Granger

The HOMESTEAD BILL.-The two branches
Of congress, at the eleventh hour, agreed upon
very poor substitute for the bill concerning
the freedom of the public lands. 1t is chiefly
valuable, however, as a recognition of the
principle for which the friends of such meas
ure have long commended, and as a step in the
line of its practical operation. The house of
representatives agreed to a bill at an early
period of the session, more liberal in its provi.
sions, and better calculated to develop and inn
prove the vast territories to which it applied
But the senate insisted upon the removal of
many of its beneiicent features, and the house,
rather than lose the whole of their purpose,
were compelled to recede. If it is less than
the republicans, carrying out one of the great
principles Of their party, desired, it was gained
with the reluctant consent of their opponents,
and will be remembered in the northwest,
when the day of reckoning comes. The pres
ent bill opens to settlers all lands subject to
private entry, and the odd.numbered sections
only, of all the government lands which have
not yet been exposed to public sale. 1t pro.
tects the present pre-emption right in Mime
sofa, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, and
the like, against land sales for two years, and
allows them to purchase the land at half price,
namely, 62t cents per acre. The senate re-
fused to allow single men to occupy and pre-.
empt on the same terms as heads of families,
and refused to allow settlers on even numbered
sections to pre-empt AMI buy their quarter
gress, however, will dare to recede from what
has been already gained; probably no future
congress will hesitate to place upon the stat
utes a full and entire approval of the free
homestead principle.

The HAYES Arctic ExPEDITIoN.-The
preparation for this interesting and important
expedition is nearly completed and the de-
parture from the port of Boston viii take
place in few days, in the schooner Spring
Hill which has been purchased for the pur-
pose. The crew will be differed by DR.. Isaac
j. Hayes, commander, Capt. McCormic, sail,
ing MASTER H. W, Dodge, first officer, and
second officer, surgeon, carpenter, artist,
clerk, steward, cook, and six men. The de-
signe of the expedition is as follows -
l. The further exploration of the open polar sea,
discovered by DIR. Kane, with view of determining
its limits and character, and thus settle more posi-
lively this yeXed question.
.. To complete the survey of the northern coasts
of Greenland and Grinnell Land.
8. To determine important questions relative to
the magnetism, the meteoroogy, the natural history
and the general physics of the uneXplored region
north of Smith street.
The vessel will be stored for two years
voyage. On leaving Boston, it will sail direct
ly for Upernavick, the most northern outpost
of civilization, and the last missionary station
on the coast of Greenland. Here they will
procure dogs and furs, and proceed northward
through the middle ice to Smith strait, where
they seek a harbor for the winter. In the
spring the exploring party will proceed north
ward, with the boats on sledges drawn by Es-
qaimeaux dogs. If successful in the object OF
the expedition, they will return before the
close of the ensuing summer; otherwise they
will not be liberated from the ice till the fol-
lowing autumn. DIR. Hayes will be accom-
panied by Mr. Sontag, the astronomer Of the
Kane expedition.

ONE OF OUR "ARTIsT REFoRMERs. THE
Washington Star gives very entertaining ac-
count of a certain great alto-relievo' which
some artist has designed for the front of the
South Carolina state house at Columbia. tits
as follows -
"a reformer who is anxious of excluding
from America the foreign fine arts, with their
old traditions and absurd symbols, does not
know how to represent justice, liberty, peace,
nation &C., except by females OF Greek form,
and dressed in artistic Greek style. There
was on exhibition at the national capitol pho
tograph of great ato-relievo for the front of
the capitol of South Carolina. 1t was place
admirably suitable for the illustration of a
great national deed, and the history of that he
roic state offered plenty of great subjects. The
artist preferred to represent the enslavement
OF the negro race, which is neither great
deed, because accomplished without war,
nor an American deed, for it was achiev-
ed by the English. experimenting a rag
ged band of dirty slaves at work, there
stands a classical female figure, with rude
breast and arms, designed to represent
the Carolina, though it is Greek both in
form and in drapery two other Greek females
seem to have come to aid her in this strange
land. The one on the right has the cap of
liberty with the American stars and the eagle
and to her feet a slave carries the rice. The
other on the left has big sword and pair of
scales, too small indeed for weighing the big
ball OF cotton which the slave rolls at her feet
The mixture Of degraded negro slaves with
those graceful Greek females and lion beside,
speaks for itself"
And the most exquisite part of the joke is
that the design has been accepted with joy al
most unspeakable. It's certainly very appro-
pirate for South Carolina; but, as the work
of reforming artist it is very peculiar pro-
duction.

TEMPERANCE CoNyENTIoN.-The annua
meeting of the Worcester Northeast District
Temperance Union. was held in Westminster

singing by the Westminster Band of Hope,

port was accepted.
Rev. Mr.. Tilden delivered an eloquent and
interesting address, on the general question of
temperance, charging upon home influence,
and the various other influences brought to
bear upon the subject, to the rising genera
ton. Rev. Brown Emerson of Westminster
was selected to deliver the address at the next
quarterly meeting, at Ashburnham, on the

The business committee reported the fol
lowing resolution, which was discussed by
| Thomas M. Brown of Boston, and others -
Whereas, There is reason to fear that in somt
towns represented in this association the vice of in
| temperance is increasing; therefore,
Resolved, That ii is the binding duty of all inter
ested in the temperance cause, to use all fit anC
| proper means TO ascertain, in every case of ntoxi
cation, where the liquor was obtained, and to pros
ecute to conviction in every case of selling.
