ANTISLAvERY FANATIcs.-An Anti.
Slavery Convention, of the Pillsbury stripe,
met at Buffalo, Jan. 10. The resolutions
are emphatic, and embrace the following
ideas:
American slavery is the sum ofal vilanies,
a combination of all crueIties and crimes,
robbery, piracy, adultery, murder and what
ever else is impure, unholy and accursed.
Shareholders have no right to life, liberty or
the pursuit of happiness, and should be re-
garded as criminals and outlaws, and should
be compelled to release their prey. Our
Union with such shareholders is also a sin
and crime. The least threat of disunion
from the South should have been hailed with
joy by all the friends of the enslaved. The
governments of the slave states are but Or
ganized bands of thieves and robbers, living
by plunder and piracy on the avails of unpaid
toll +; and, finally, it is the duty of Senators
and representatives from non slaveholding
states to return to their constituencies and
take measures for the foundation of n orth.
ern confederacy, that should be indeed free
and an asylum for the oppressed of all ma.
tions.

The LOdon Times on the Execution
of John Brown.

The Times, in remarking upon the tolling
of bells and other public demonstrations,
by northern aboitionists, on the occasion of
JOHN BRowN's execution, says -
What, then, is to be the lesson
learned from the recent demonstrations :?
The first thing that strikes us is that the
north did nothing until Brown was executed,
and then it began to make speeches. This
certainly does not give US any exalted notion
Of their zeal or determination of purpose.
The idea of the Boston people preparing
beforehand great meeting, engaging speak
ers and seats, designing Inscriptions against
the day that Brown should be executed, and
when the telegraph brought the news of the
event, rushing to the hall and listening to
fowery speeches, as if horri6ed by sudden
crime, mixes something of the ludlcrous
with the tragic occurrence.
Bells were tolled probably in every town
in Massachusetts,, and many throughout the
entire north. Yet we will venture to say
that in a few days everything was quiet
again, and John Brown, for whom parallels
were sought in history, sacred and profane,
was Judged in his true light, as courageous
old man, maddened by the partisan warfare
of the west, and whom it would have been
as we'll for the State of Virginia to pardon,

The New Texan Senator.

Some events in the life of Mr.. Wigfall,
the new Senator from Texas, who takes
Gen. Houston's seat, strlkingly illustrates
the state of Southern society, and the bar
barous practices of men educated under the
duelling system. Several years ago Mr..
Wigfall Was resident of South Carolina,
and member of the Legislature of that
State. A difficulty arose between him and
Mr. Brooks, the father of the late Preston
S. Brooks, and Mr.. Wigfall posted Mr..
Brooks as rascal and coward, after the
Southern fashion. Mr.. Bird, son of the
then wife of Mr. Brooks, came to town about
the time, but, in ignorance of the difficulty,
called on Mr.. Wigfall, with whom he was
on friendly terms, and invited him to his
then approaching wedding. The two gen.
tlemen were proceeding through the street
together, when the placard in question
attracted MIR. Birds attention. Turning at
once to Mr.. Wigfall, he asked if be, Mr..
W., was the author. Mr.. Wigfall respond
ed that he was. Mr.. Bird then said he
would tear it down. MIR. Wigfall forbade
him at his peril. Mr.. Bird, however, did
it. A shooting affray Immediately followed,
in which Mr.. Bird was killed by Mr.. Wig
fall. A son of Mr.. Brooks, Sen., took up the
quarrel and challenged Mr. Wigfall. They
met. Mr.. Wigfall received Mr.. Brooks
fire unharmed, and then discharged his pistol
in the air. The duel was at this point
arrested. Immediately afterward Mr.. Wig
tall received a second challenge from Preston
5. Brooks, known subsequently for his
assault on Senator Sumner. The challenge
Mr.. Wigfall declined to accept. The quar-.
rel, however, was not allowed to subside,
and to avoid further bloodshed, Mr.. Wigfall
soon after withdrew from the State, and
removed to Texas, where he has since
resided. From his secIusion thence be has
now emerged into the Senate of the United
States.

The Savage and Civilized Man.

Mr.. Higginson recently delivered lec-
ture in Boston, intending to show that high
civilization was superior to barbarism in
developing man in the physical as we'll as in
the moral qualities. That portion of his
remarks which related to physical develop.
ment is all we can find room for.
strength and size of civilized and savage
men were in favor of the former, ada quoted
largely from series of interesting statistics
published in the 18th volume of the jour-
mails of the London Statistical Society, the
results of Investigations made by DR..
Thompson, of the list regiment, among the
New Zealanders-a race just emerging from
barbarism, cannibals within one generation,
with the taste of their friends and relations
not yet off their lips, and therefore excellent
subjects for the experiments. His expert
ments commenced by examining into their
height. He measured LAG. Their average
height was 5 feet seven inches. The ave-
rage height of 800 young men of the Uni
versity of Edinboro' was feet 8 inches
one inch more; and of 80 students at Cam.
bridge, 5 feet 9 inches. His LAG New
Zealanders showed an average weight of
l40 pounds. He weighed several hundred
of his soldiers, and found their average
weight to be l42 pounds; and he ascertained
that the average weight of 2,646 soldiers,
taken in England, was l48 pounds.
The question of weights, therefore, was
settled in favor of the civilized race In
measuring the chest, he found the average
breadth of the New Zealander was 35 &c.
Inn q poooc,1rn1 E00 Of b;o o,,J
found it 35 7l-100-an average difference
of half an inch in favor OF the civilized race.
The strongest man among the New Zealand
ers lifted weight of 42O pounds !; that
tapered down to $50 pounds. His strongest
English soldier lifted 5O7 pounds, and this
went down to $50. The average weight
lifted by the New Zealanders was 367
pounds of the English, 422 pounds. One
of these estimates, it will be observed,
comes up to one half of the weight now
lifted by our athletic DR.. Winship. On all
these points, then, the advantage lies with
civilization. The lecturer added that
" civilization is the domesticator of man.
Domestication refnes man but does not
weaken him. The hand that is strong
within an iron gauntlet will be just as strong
in white kid glove, and any man who is
hero in red shirt in Maine, will be just as
heroic in white shirt on Beacon street.
The difference is that civilization gives, in
addition to muscular development, certain
finer power, to the nervous organization. 1t
changes iron into steel it makes the race
horse as compared with the cart horse.
Every gymnast knows that mere brute
violence of muscle is nothing it is the
quality of the muscle that tells and SO,
accordingly, we know that the English aris-
tocracy are as fine a type Of physical
muscle as can be found in the world.
