the Barnastable Patriot, from the East, where
the sun first rises on our globe. If it be gen

rubbish he had been able to find in Massa-
chusetts a single jewel which should be shown
to the country.
The proceedings of the Union meeting in
Barnstable were read, declaring the duty of
obedience to the Constitution as the supreme
law of the land, condemning Browns raid and
his sympathizers, and those preaching or Incl
ting Instruction as guilty of moral and q :tual
treason
Mr.. Elliott asked that the call for the meet

Mr.. Cobb said that it was not in the paper.
He loved Unicn meetings, but he wanted them
to declare such sentiments as had been r adj
He believed that many abolitionists wtr simply

say anything new to Mas, or TO the citizens

purpose Of bringing home the rem inns of his
nephew for in iermeut. On his way hsne he
was detained at Wellsyilie for u couple OF
hours and there had a conversation with Mr..

The Wool a

CLEVELAND WooL DEPOT, Jan. 1, 1860
December is almost invariably a dull month
for the sale OF woods, manufacturer being ac-
lively engaged in closin. their years business.
The past December may be recorded as uRu-
sually inactive ; indeed, for the last two months
of August and September the prices of woods
were advanced by dealers, since which, they
have remained high; but woods have moved
very slow, and only been taken by manufactur-
ers when their wants were such as to crowd
them into paying the prices asked. Most of
the large manufacturers have supplied them
selves early in season, the demand has been
limited, and newspaper reports. with a view of
bolstering up the market, have been higher
than actual transactions.
The price at which woods will sell in this
market, may be regarded as high at the pres
ent time, ranging from 35 to 60 cents for fleece,
and 30 to 80 cents for pulled.
The prices of woods at the Cleveland wool
depot during the last year, have ranged from 33
to go cents, with the exception of some extra
fancy clips, which have ranged from 60 to 70
cents. The amount handled by us during the
last year is 1,276,537 pounis.-Ohio Farmer.

Endorsement Of the Helper Book

Whatever the ~ollowers of the apostle of the
Higher Law may think proper to deny or dis
claim about the incendiary Helper Abolitionis
book, Mr. Senator Seward himself is precluded
from denying or diselaiming. anything. We
have it under his own hand that he read the
book carefully, and pronounced it altogether
unobjectionable. On the cover of the Com
pendulum" the author quotes Mr.. Stewards GER
tifcate, as follows:
81 have read the Impending Crisis of the
South with deep attention. 1t seems to me a
work of groat merit, rich, yet accurate, in sta
~tistical information, and logical in analysis,
This was sufficient for the Black-Republi-
cans generally. Hence, the sixty-eight mem
bers of Congress who signed the Recommended
ton could do without question, without read
ing the book, as some of them, including Mr..
Sherman, the Republican candidate for Speak
er of the House of Representatives, now de-
clare they did. This declaration is made in
extenuation of their signatures. but would seem
to indicate more than any thing else en- entire
recklessness of action in their zeal for party
and promotion of self in that connection
Baltimore SIN.
OF course it was sufficient to know that Sen
ator Seward eneorsed the Helper book, as he
is the great leader and expounder of Re-
publican principles. And now, since the
"Helper Book" has been officially endorsed by
Republican leaders, as an authoritative work.
it will be useless for auy portion of that
party to escape the damaging effects it may
have upon them.-CEermont Sum-.

Miserable Death Of a Man of eenia

The recent death at San Francisco of ED.
RIDGE F. PAIGE, formerly q brilliant writer
for the New York press. and the author of the
famous Patent Sermons by Dow, Jr.," was,
an exchange says, under the most miserable
circumstances imaginable: When a police Off
Ger, hearing that u man was dying in his pow
erty stricken quarters, arrived in the room, he
found a scene too indecent for description. a
prostitute had just-closed his eyes and mouth
for the last time. The Ted was innocent of
linen Of any kind, and was saturated with wa
ter. The floor was indescribably filthy, and
the walls dark with moisture and filed with
fungi. Ga the table stood two tin plates that
had probably been used for some time, and
never cleaned from the moment they were first
soilcd these contained the. remnants of his
last supper. In IA corner of the room was Il
small key of picked h~errings, the maggots in
which were far more numerous than the fish,
and almost REVEALED them in size. On IL small
table near his bed were two bottles containing
liquor-the curse of his latter life, and I'M
doubted cause of his death. His feet were
restiag on. the footboard of his loathsome cot
and no portion. of his clo:hing had been re-
moved except. his hat.
