LETTER FROM PROF. DANIELS.
U. S. Custom HOUSE,

To The Editors Of the Free Democrat; l was
surprised on taking up the Maps this morning, ,c
sec the following statement: Mr. Rogers informs
us that while in Fond du L,c yesterday, on his
way to Ripon, he saw Daniels upon the street.
and walking down to him, told him that he had q
warrant for his arrest, and invited him to walk
down to the Lewis House, Daniels replied, that
he did not know whether ho would or not Mr..
Rogers Immediately Informed him that he WOULD,
&C., &c.
This statement is unquafedly false, it conveys
the impression that was unwilling to be arrested
but was afraid to resist. | received notice from
Mr.. Rogers of Janesville that he had warrant
for me, asked to it, read it, and returned it to
him, quietly remarking, without moments hesi-
taton, that would 90 with him. l then reques-
ted him, if consistent with his duties, to go with
me by Ripon, that might zee my family, and
arrange for my absence. On consultation, it was
thought that he could not legally do 80, and
came without objection to this city. / was at
Fond du Lac examining tho artesion wells in the
prosecution of the Geological surveJ-had not so
much as a pocket knife about me, and had, every

asked, that l should not resist an arrest. had

NEGRO LIFE IN THE TROPICS.
TrOlope in his new work on Jamaica says Of
tho emancipated negro:

TrOllope in his new work on Jamaica says Of
the emancipated negro:
'lle lies under the mango tree, and cats the
lucous fruit in the sun; he sends his black urchin
up for bread fruit and behold ! the family table
is spread lie pierces a cocoanut, and 10 there
is his beverage. lie lies upon the grass, surround
ed by oranges, bananas and pine apples
Is it strange that he should be inactive and Ia
zy ? Is it surprising that arguments about the
blessednese of labor, of providence, Of thrift,
should fall dead upon his ears ? How many of
us would work, if we were not obliged to? How
many of our fashionable id!ers are there whose
lives really amount TO nothing more or better than
the drowsy incidence of these tropical negrOes2
How much better is it to lOll about Newport and
Saratoga IN the summer, and the saloons of New
York iu the winter, doing nothing but vegetate
than it is to roll around under the m ango trees,
and eat cOcoanuts and bread fruit all the day long?
We think that Trollope's statements need some
modification but granting than to be true, there
is large class of Americans who cannot with
much justice criticize the dolce far niente life of the
negro of Jamaica. OF how many men even here
in this bustling land might it truly be said that
they exist, buI Go not live Proridence Journal

TIE OFFICE HUNTER.

If 0 man to man, let him thank his stars ha
he ispot Justice of the peace. OF all the appe
tites that curse young men, the appetite for Office
scems to be the silliest and the meanest. There
is nothing which fills me with greater disgust thai
to see young man eager for distinction which Office
affords. An Office seeker for the sake of honor is
constiutionaly and necessarily mean, | have
seen men begin at twenty-ono as prudential com
mittees in small school districts, and stick to Office
till everybody was sick of them. Whether it rain
ed porridgc or potatoes paving stones or pearls
their dish was always out They and their fami
lies always had to be cared for. Offi1o always
brings obligation and certain kind of slavery
1t bringG something more than this-it brings in
sanity. 4 young man who allows himself to gel
a taste of it very rarely recovers 1t is like tobac
co or opium or brandy, producing morbid appe
tite, and we need, all through the nation, a new
society of reform. There should be pledge cir
culated, aAd everywhere signed, promising tota
abstinence from Office seeking. To this every
young man should put his name. There are chron
ic cases that may be considered hopeless, but thu
young man can be saved Timothy Ttcomb.

wuIrrlrR's POETRY IN GroRqI4-Many of Whit
tiers grand poems are circulated at the South
without his name, and some of the verses are sub
jected to emendations to suit that market. The
Alexandria Georgia. Gazette, in an able article
in favor of Bell and Everett, uses quotation from
the Quaker poets Prisoner for Debt but subsLi
tutes the word Union for freedom, as will be

in Tennessee,

throughout the world, that it had been swept from
Asia and Europe, and now found locality only in
the cotton and tobacco States OF the Americas

ARREST OF DANIELS.

As we supposed would be the case, E. Daniels
was yesterday arrested 6y the United States au'
thorites for aiding in the rescue of Booth, and
locked up in the U. S. Bastle. Whilo we write,
this morning, the prelimiuares for his examina-
ton are being made. We presume his counsel
will wave an examination and produce Ony amount
of bail which the Court may demand, and that for
the present Mr.. Daniels will soon be free again
That he will be convicted provided the trial comes
off before election, can scarcely be doubted, and
III en- be will be set free, either by our Supreme
Court or by the people. We hope the people will
make up their minds fully to this. This internal
despotisrn carried on under pretence of law and
ORDER and paid for out fthe United States Treas
ury ought to come TO an end before great
while.
No man ought to be permitted, op the broad
prairies and under the heavens Of Wisconsin, to
suffer pains and penalties for the practice Of plain
Christian virtues. Such despotism is subversive
of all law and all order and the longer it contin-
uos of course the more danger there is of the des
truction OF all our valuable institutions AS we
view it, however, unless the Supreme Court rever.
ses its position, if the charge against Mr.. Daniels
is the forcible rescue of prisoner, he mus. be
set free by the Court for in the eye Of the court
Mr. Booth could not have been legal prisoner.

abont two hours, 10 which he discussed the
principles and the policy which govern the
action Of the parties now represented by the
several candidates for President aud Vice
President, displaying great ability, and elic-
iting warm concentrations from his hear

The Dawn OF SENsE.-We see it intmated
that the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT is about 10
Withdraw from the Presidential canvass Such
determination on his part, successfully carried
out, would imply that the reign of good sense
had returned. When the nomination Of Vice
President was rendered to him. and he had
every reason 10 suppose that it was the offspring
Of good faith ard honest intention, he hesitated
long before he accepted it, He yielded only TO
the urgent solicitation OF warm personal friends,
who no doubt then supposed that the ticket
was to be supported honestly and earnestly
Mr.. EVERETT must be totally destitute of COM
mon sagacity not to have discovered the plot
Of the play. before this, and become deeply
mortified and disgusted at the part he is made
to sustain in it. To be run as q mere blind, with
a view and purpose of deceiving the public,
and with no higher aim than to elect somebody
else, with whose principles be has no affilation,
and in whose craftsmanship and fitness be can
have no confidence, is q position which Mr.
Everett should not hold before the American
people for one moment. 1t is due to himself
to his we'll earned reputation in public life as
sincere and upright mau-tbat he should wash
his hands of this piece of political uucleanness
with which he is identified. 1t must detract
from the garnered fame of long life, to be
made at this period in his history, a mere stool
pigeon for party against whose principles and
purposes he has been waging constant warfare

A thousand people listened to him here tr'-
day afternoon. Al Kingsville the largest
political meeting ever held in that township
was gathered Saturday evening. They tried
TO get into the Town Hall, but it would
hold not over third OF those present, aud
seats we're prepared in front Of the buil1.
ing, while Mr.. HuTcHINs spoke from the
steps. The farmers from the extreme parts
Of the township, and a good sprinkling from
other towns were there, and altogether was
the most successful meeting we have attend
ed this season. The air was warm and
clear, and the attention aud interest Of the
audience was evidence of the satisfaction
they felt in the discussion of the great
principles which divide and enlist the at.
tention Of the people of the Nation. AT
the close Of the speech three hearty thsers
were given fur LINCOLN aud HAML1N, and
three more for JoHN HUrcHINs after an

The only effectual remedy for lice upon
cattle, that is at the same time safe, which
we have ever tried, is oil or grease. These
parasites lay their nits upon the hair, and
il is only when the hair is dry that they
can make the eggs adhere. II the hair be
kept well fabricated for few days with
sweet oil, or any kind Of grease that will
not become sticky, the insects will de-
camp for dryer quarters. They attempt to
climb the creased poles, and give up in de.
spair. Armed with an oil bottle, you may
efectually rout the enemy, without rsking

PURITY OF CHARACTER. the beauty
OF the plum and The apricot there grows a
bloom and beauty more exquisite than the
fruit tself--a soft, delicate flush that over.
spreads its blushing cheek. Now If youstrike
your hand over that, and it is once gone, it
is gone forever, for it never grows but once.
The flower that hangs in the morning i'm
pearled with dew-arrayed as no queenly
woman ever was arrayed in jewels-once
shake it so that the beads roll off, and you
may sprinkle it with water as You please,
yet it never can be made again what it was
when the dew fell silently upon it from
heaven On frosty morning you may see
the panes Of glass covered with landscapes
mountains, lakes and trees blending in
beautiful aud fantastic pictures. Now lay
your hand upon the glass, & by the scratch
of your finger, or by the warmth cf your
palm, all the delicate tracery will be oblit-
Grated. So there is in youth beauty and
purity OF character, which, when once touch
ed aud defed can never be restored-a
fringe more delicate than frost work, aud
which, when torn and broken, will never be
re-embroidered. A man who has spotted 4
solled his garments 10 youth, though he may
seek to make them white again, can never
wholly do il, even were heI to wash them
with his tears. When young man leaves
his fathers house, with the blessing of his
mothers tears still wet upou his forehead
u he once loses that purity Of character, 1t
is loss that he can never make whole a.
gain. Such is the Consequence Of crime.
It's effects cannot be eradieated, it can only
be forgiren.

In New York, matters are somewhat different
the most serious opposition to union ticket
there coming from the Breckenridge SIDE under
the lead Of Daniel s. Dickinson. The soft fac
iiou, who lead the body Of the country democrats
aud go for Douglas, do not sympathize with the
views Of Douglas himself or bis friends as to the
management Of the campaign they are Tor
themselves first, the party next, and principles
and Douglas last. They would as liefwn under
Breckinridge as under Douglas, provided only
there was a warm place for them by the Kitchen
FIRE. They did not nominate Douglas at Balh-
more because they wanted to, but because they
could not we'll hepti aud they will dispose Of
him now, it they can make "a good thing" for
themselves by the operation. Their state con-
yenlion meets August 9th the Breckenridge
convention has called theirs week earlier (7th)
and there will be a struggle in it between those
who are willing to unite with the Dougles aud
Bell men on common electoral ticket, and
those like Dickinson and his followers, who
"won't do any such thing"
