THINGS WE HAVE SEEN.-We have
seen the most worthless and lazy fell
lows dress the most fashionably.
We have seen the most talented
young men turn tiplers and die drunk
ards.
We have seen men who have made
much noise about their bravery and
daring exploits-and
We heve seen the same run away
from goose.
We have seen men urging another
to become a candidate for office, and
We have seen the same fellow vote
against him at election.
We have seen lovely girl marry a
rich old bachelor merely for wealth,
and
We have seen the same girl die
broken hearted within year.
We have seen young men marry
dashy brainless girls, and
We have seen them drag out mis-
cradle wretched life.

PrO.Slavery Aggression.
Great excitement IN Madison County,
10" Charges of Abolitionispa. -
Tioezre families required to leave the
State.
THEIR ARRIVAL IN THIS CITY.
Twelve families, embracing in all
thirty-nir persons, arrived in this city
at eight o'clock, last evening, from Be-
rea, Madison Co., Kentucky, whence
they were forced to move on account
of entertaining anti-Slavery views and
opinions-The entire party took rooms
at the Dennison House, the heads of
families registering their names as fol-
lows: T. A. r. Rogers, John Smith,
John G. Harrison, Jas. L. Davis, John
F. Boughton, Swinglehurst Life, t. E.
E. Hayes, G. w. Parker, w. +. Tony,
G. w. Griffin, ane T. d. Reed.
Most of the number are natives OF
the state, and several were born and
reared in the county from which they
were required by the authorities to
leave. The greater part are young
men, but there are others far past three
score years and ten, these added to
children in arms and defenceless women
comprise the list that have for the past
two weeks created such dread to that
part of Kentucky geographically de-
scribed as Madison county. In con-
nection with the above list, should ap-
pear the name of the Rev. John G. Fee,
native of Kentucky, and whose faith
er is and has always been alarge slave
holder.
The Reverend gentleman founded
several anti-slavery institutions in
Madison county, which induced the
sIaveholding citizens, about two weeks
ago, to notify Mr.. Fee that he must
leave the State. He did so, and is al
present with his companions in this
city. The full particulars of the whole
matter will be found appended. The
party, with whom our reporter had a
lengthy conversation, have no definite
object in view; bereft of their homes
and their firesides, they are driven ruth
lessly into strange State among strange
people, to seek new homes and new
firesides, and. and all for the reason OF
a difference of opinion and its honest
expression.

Utah. a Significant Omission.

The failure of the President to make
the slightest reference to Utah, and the
terrible. state of affairs which exists
there, very naturally attracts much at
tention. 1t is considered significant
fact, that while he is so concerned
about the state of Mexican affairs, and
the anarchy and violence that reign in
that distracted country, he wholly ig-
nores the existence of Utah, and the
violence and outrage, and defiance OF
all law and authority, which disgrace
that territory. But what the Presi
dent has omitted, the Secretary Of War
has supplied. He makes the most
alarming statements in regard to the
condition of things there. The pres
ervation of right and justice, he says,
has been found to be impossible, and
that the territory is governed, practi-
cally, by system which is in total dis
regard of the laws OF Constitution OF
the land"
Murders and robberies of the most
attrocious character have been perpe-
trated upon our citizens, journeying to
and from the States, and the Secretary
says that persons best qualified to
Judge believe that "these murders are
the work of the Mormon people them
selves, sanctioned, if not directed, by
the authority of the Mormon Church"
All these things the President ignores,
while he is eloquent upon abuses trans
piring within the Jurisdiction of an
other government, which he proposes
to redress by military invasion. One
would hardly expect such inconsis-
tency from san old public functionary,
whose first and dearest earthly wish is
to leave has country tranquil, prosper
Gus, united and powerful"

The Responsibility for the Disorganiza-
ton of the House.

The Responsibility for the Disorganiza-
ton of the House.
If there is any one thing more pre.
posterous than another, says the De.
troit Tribune, in the present course Of
the Democratic organs. it is their at
tempt to hold the Republicans respon-
slble for the non-organization of the
House. A few facts will put this mat
ter abundantly right.
First, it has been four weeks since
Congress assembled, and in all that
time only some half dozen Republicans
have spoken, and all the rest OF the
time has been occupied by Democrats,
who would but rarely allow ballot,
for which the Republicans have con-
stantly called. What else has prompt
ed the Democrats toprevent balloting,
by occupying the time in speech-mak-
ing Except to prevent an organization :
There can be no other reason.
Second, the Republicans have not
got majority of members, but only a
plurality and it is therefore impossible
for them to elect a Speaker without
''the plurality rule" which latter they
have steadily asked for, and which the
Disunion Democracy, haze Just. az
steadily refused to grant, or even tc
permit vote upon. If they would
consent to the plurality rule the House
would be organized at once.
Third, on three separate occasions, the
South Americans and the Anti-Lecomp
ton Democrats, concentrating, first
upon Mr.. Gilmer of North Carolina
and then upon Mr.. Maynard of Ten
nessee, have given the Disunion Demo
cracy an opportunity to elect Speak
er, but they refused to do 1t.
The above statements tell the whole
story. That they are facts, we appea
to the public records to prove. They
show thatAin every point of view, TIL,
Democrats gre responsible for the delay
an the orga,Szation. But there is still
another>fact which acts as a clinchel
to all these, and thoroughly exposes tn,
hypocricy of their pitiable trick, in of
1
fering to make Mr.. Corwin of Ohio
temporary Speaker. After that reso
luton had been offered on Thursday
they voted in a body for, and with TIT
aid of some of the Opposition members
carried an adjournment for four days
The Republicans almost unanimousl,
voted against adjournment. The coun
try cannot be deceived as to who is re
sponsible for the DISCRIMINATION.

ARREST oE AN Ex-PosTMAsTER OF
DETROIT FOR EMBEzzLEMENT.-We
learn from the Detroit Tribune that
Ex-Postmaster O'Flynn, of that city,
was arrested on Tuesday and taken be-
fore the u. S. Commissioner, charged
with having embezzled the sum of So
213 20, received by him while post
master. The sum of the matter is,
that this amount is claimed by the
Post o fice Department atW ashlngton,
as a balance due, while Mr.. O'F'lynn
claims that by the acts of his predeces-
sors in office, and the construction OF
the law hitherto, this sum belonged to
him, and not to the department. Ac-
ton was commenced against his bond
men. Charles Moran and Alex. M.
Campau, at the same time.
Mr.. Flynn gave bail in the sum of
$4,000 to appear and answer at the
special term of the U. S. Court next
month.

The Coming Storm.

The tide Oh slavery SeemS 20 De urg-
ing higher and higher. What was
considered piracy and man. stealing by
the whole country, ten years ago.. is
now recommended in the speeches of
public men and the newspapers Of fif-
teen States. Territory that was consid-
cred ten years ago, as inevitably dedi-
Gated to freedom, is. to-day, opened
to slavery by the act Of Congress, and
the decision of our Supreme Court.
The authors of notification speeches,
letters and messages, who, in old Gen.
Jackson time, would have been SEN
fenced to rope of hemp, are to-day
honored with the gubernatorial chairs
of South Carolina and Virginia.
Statesmen, spotless in their integrity
pure and noble in their patriotism, and
lofty in scope and comprehension of
views, and holding the most eminent
position as representatives of sovereign
States are stigmatized as "black heart
ed traitors" and Williams who ought to
be hung.
1t used to be safe for mem women
TO travel in the South, but now we have
the startling facts before us that peace
able American citizens are arrested on
as dim and vague, suspicious, as ever
glimmered in the muddy skull of the
Austrian despot. These things have
crowded on us till liberation has ceased
to be virtue. Slavery is on the ag-
gressive it behooves us to beat this
bold-browed tyrant back.
Let us no longer stnnd mildly on the
defensive, but give back some of the
blows that we receive. 1t is our duty
as true men, TO see that truth and JUS
tice is not crushed in the ''irrepressible
conflict" whose thunders are now
heard in the national capital.
We have quite a vivid recollection
of number of books, pamphlets, news
paper articles, and literature of various
kinds written and perpetrated in de-
nunciation Of freedom and free labor
and in laudation of the superiority OF
slavery and slave labor. Indeed if our
memory serves US, distinguished
South Carolina statesman pronounced
free labor an insurrectionary condition
in and of itself, and prophesied the
time would come when the free labor
of the north would rise, cut the tkrcats
of capitalists-rob capital-and hold a
general saturnalia of riot and blood.
But we do not recollect that any mem
Der of Congress from the North ever
thought it worth his while to make a
noise about it on the floor Of Congress
and particularly to delay the organiza-
ton of the House weeks in declaiming
about it, and declaring the government
at an end and the Union dissolved in
consequence of it. Probably Forthern
members thought free labor and free
dom were strong enough inherently to
survive all such attacks, without any
special effort in their behalf 1t is to
be regretted that Shareholders have not
the same confidence in their institu-
TONS The way they agonize for the
protection of their beloved institutions,
virtually give rise to the suspicion, that
it is something like owning an elephant
a great amount of trouble to keep, and
costs a vast deal more than it comes to.
