TIE CRY pREss-In the brief space of tim

THE Cry PKEss--In the brief space of time
at command this morning, we can merely re-
fer to the leading articles in the city papers
1t is much cheaper to buy you copy of
the Uaion and let you read for yourself, than
to give you the argument of the leading and
ooily editorial article in the Union. 1t is
about Gov. BIssELL, of Illinois," and his
rascality in turning out of the penitcntiary at
Joliet, negro convict, who was fugitive
slave from Kentucky, and for whom Gov Ma
COFFIN had sent him a requisition. Before
running away from Kentucky. the negro bad
been convicted of burglary. He went to IL
llinois and Was sent To the penitentiary for
stealing. A few days-say couple ofwecks,
or a couple Of year,, il you like 4 longer Pc
riOd better-before his term was out, Gov,
MAGOFFIS, the same gentleman who recently
vetoed bank bill aud wrote message about
it mile and half long, demanded him of
the Governor of Illinois The Governor of
Illinois, wanting passenger for his under
ground railroad The is the owner Of seyeraD
secretly sent a pardon down to Joliet for the
negro. had him turned loose, and run off to
Canada before Gov. AAGoFFIN's messengers
reached the prison There's the sum and
substance of the whole thing in hickory
nutshell The Union copies from the Boston
Psa an article on the subject of Lecture
on Irish Emigration" The Know-Nothings
used 10 lecture the Irish on emigration; but
they quit il long ago, finding that the mort
they lectured, the more the Hibernians kept
Ion emigrating; and now the Democrats, it
seems. have taken up the subject with fresh
S,series of lectures Had the Constitution of
the United States denied the right of suffrage
to the Irish and other transatanticians "a new
word, pronounced haHSatIH4tishyans, and
A,means the imported raw material Of Democ-
racy). the LOcOiocOs would have been the
best Know-Nothing party in the county
nThis remark should have beeh made five or
six years ago, but We did Mt happen to think

Governors Residence is still engaging
the attention of the Gazdte. Our cOtempoIs-
inry wants to have n house of bis own when he
gets To be Governor Instead of having TO
hboard aud pay large bill at hotel. He
thinks the prospect of the adoption of the
proposition TO convert the old Asylum build
Wing into a house for the Governor is very
I
| idattered by the pro -pect. The Gazette has an
! Particle on political Affairs in Nicaragua -
sIrom which we infer that in Tennessee the
! tGazete is a neutral paper, and in Nicaragua
sa political one. ..HENKY WINTER DAVIS"
S,ays the Gazcts, "has been burned in efigy
1by the students of Georgetown College, Dis
ytrict of Columbia MIR. DAVIS. no doub.,
finds some consolation in the hope that the
Dickins may burn them in reality of
these days.
The Banner has a brief article on The Free
Negro Bill" We heard few days ago that
his free Negro BILL had been killed down in
Mississippi during a fight between the two
Houses OF the Legislature. We are sorry to
ind that he has tnrned up here again. He is
rot in good health, however, and we have no
dea shall he troubled with his presence
three weeks longer. He is not fit TO live in
J. Christian community, aud il is great pity
ne did Mt die when he was an infant. The
principal article in the Banner i triumphant
~ pointed at by very large fist. considering
he size of the type, and has immediate refer
snce to MARTIN VAN BUREN, Senator HALE.

finding by-touch, n touch en- t,assiI.i up !
al Mr.. BUCHANAN, KindeThoOk, the Kansas-
aIebraska hill, and other iTifes.
The Mus has an article Ol some length ex- |
L lanatOry of the little row among the Prcsi /
kent and some of the Directors of the Louis t
File i Nashville Railroad. We hope the 4
djustment Of thi> matter will be sufficiently /
1erdy to prevent an interruption in the speed /
III the road. Quarrels don't do any good no
f'ow, and when you get into one, the sooner 4
h on get out the better it will he for you.
~ The local Of the Nelrs does Mt like Miss ST. !

Macs Office who, If doomed to do so, could .
lake q much better tragedy Gus Of the story /
The House that Jack Built" He then
\pes on to say a good many first rate things
'3out the play, to which We have ut time to
lJ5ter. Two others of the city papers lifted
IS their voices and wept and cried out against
f5le Hidden Rand-why are they silent now
Io'er The Doom Of DeviiIe , Miss ST. CLAIR ID /
