A SOLEMN ANNIVERSARY 1t was
on Thursday, the 4th day of April
just twenty years ago, that the office
seekers killed General Harrison, and
recent Geographic dispatches announce
that the health of Mr.. Lincoln has
been impaired to such an extent, chief
ly by the opportunities of the same
class that he has been compelled in
self defence to lock his doors against
them.

Spanish Usu,patioa- The Peoples
Protest. news has been re-
ceived from Hayti. The brig Echo
arrived at New York Yesterday, with
advices up to March 9 h.
Tue attempt Of Spain to seize the
island had excited the liYeiiest indig-
notion.
An appeal to the nation has been
published in the papers. Some Of
the passages were as follows:
Santana, since his last elevation
to pos . IS sold the republic.
"Tne plice Of the Yankees did not
snit him. To day he has adjndged 1t
to Spain, and is preparing TO crush
the dominican people under the colo
NAL yoke Tor the vile price of few
peurile dignities, and of the gold
which will be distributed to him aud
five or six principal accomplices:
Tomorrow the Tartars will enjoy
in quiet the riches gained by this
criminal bargain, and will welcome us
with an ironical smile on hearing the
clank of our chains.
"To- morrow shame will settle on
our hearthstones, and the stigma OF
ignominy will soil our brows
"To morrow, our wives will fly
from our arms, our mothers will refuse
their caresses, and our children their
Smiles-a degenerate people merit
them not.
Dominicians Victory or death,
before the fall of the Republic. Let
us pray to God that before this below
ed land of Columbus be dishonored, it
may be engulphed in the ocean.
Dominiciahs, to arms !! to combat !!
to victory Let us wear the crown
of heroes before we clasp the martyrs
palm"
The General of the armies of the
Republicans, Jose Marie Cabral, also
issued an appeal to the people.
These appeals are dated some two
months ago, and have been in secret
circulation.

AS specimen of the progress Of
New York towards the Partisan style
of doing things, we notice the fact
that the police Of that city few
nights since broke up a Drag" ball
there. The popularity of this kind of
entertainment is that it is attended by
a number of depraved men, who have
dressed themselves in ladies' clothes.
Those who were present on the occa-
sion mentioned were attired in gor-
focus style. They wore the NEST
costly silks and satins, and had their
voluminons curls and other feminine
adornments. Some of them were
covered with jewelry. One mar had
on at least Sc, 900 worth of iewelry.

Wisiafs RaIsam Of 1lJilo Cherry.
For the cure Of coughs, colds, hoarseness,
Asthma. influenza. Group whooping cough,
Bronchitis, predieposition to consumption. &c.
This great remedy is too well known, and is
performing too much good to make it necessary
to go into an elaborate discussion of its merits.
Suffice it to say that it still maintains its supre-

character, and that all who suffer from the
above complaints, after having tested this rem
edy seldom have occasion to resort to other ap-
planes to insure perfect restoiution to health

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The st.
Lonis Republican says The far
mers of Illinois have every reason to
be satisfied with the appearance OF
the wheat crop at this time We have
reliable information from more than
twenty counties in Southern Illinois,
giving assurances that during the past
ten years the wheat fields in March
have never appeared so promising as
NOW. The growth is admirably well
set, covers the ground well, is healthy
and strong, encouraging large expect
ations of full granaries at the close of
the season. The amount sown last
Fall unusually large, and 1861 bids
fair to be as distinguished in illinois
for the affluent wheat harvest as was
1860 for the plethoric corn crop in
Central and Northern Illionois.

STRIKE OF Tunnel MEN AND

noon. about 9 O'Clock, some 200 labor
ers in the employ of the Long Dock
Company, who are engaged IN COM
pleting The work on the Bergen tun-
mel, and grading and laying the track
from the tunnel to the river, turned
out ON a strike for an increase OF
wages 1t appears that on Saturday
last the contractor voluntarily raised
the wages Of the men from 70 centst to
80 cents TIE men subsequently de-
manded 81 per day, and accordingly
they stopped work and proceeded IN
a body from the west end OF the tnn-
mel towards the Long Dock. AS the
strikers proceeded towards the dock
each gang of men who had refused to
turn out were compelled to join them
by threats of violence, or driven away.
Word was sent to the Station House,
when Chief of Police Marinus and
posse of police proceeded to the scene
and tie rioters dispersed, threatening
however to return again in the after
noon to drive away any one that at
tempted to work. Some 70 or 80
men, who were compelled to leave
work returned again, and ,duling the
afternoon many new hands were put
on. The rioters made no further dis
tnrbance.

Govcrnor Denni.on,. ne.saue.

Gov. Dennison's message is based on this pro-
clamaton, but it Is not, unfortunately, confined
to the subject matter of it. The President calls
for troops under the law of 1895 to suppress and
put down combinations in certain States therein
named, which are too powerful to be suppressed
by the ordinary course OF judicial proceedings or
by the powers vested in the inarshals. The
Governors message is not simply responsive 10
this proclamation. That functionary scars away
into the slavery question, and but too plainly
shows that the ruling passion in his mind is to
enter into the irrepressible conflict between
" freedom and slavery" That is what the
"irrepressibles" desire. They would not give
straw to cOnfine the action of the volunteer
militia TO the mere duties and objects for which
troops may be raised and used by the President
under the law of 1895. The Cincinnati Com
mercial and the Cincinnati Gazette rebuke the
Governor for what they charge to be digre'sion
on his part, and endeavor to disayow the slavery
part of his message; but these papers are simply
acting the politician in this matter, while the
Governor gives out his sincere utterAnce, horrible
and terrible in import though they be. And the
Ohio State journal, of this morning. inspired
with the same sentiment which actuatel the
Governor, declares that 1.-The issue il unmistaka-
bly, set bet seen Freedom and Slavery"
While all the loyal citizens of the United
States will accord to the President all power that
the Constitution and laws of the United States
will warrant. to enable him to execute the laws
and protect and defend the Government, and
award to him the men and money necessary for
such purposes, yet good men. such as would sac
rifce everything to see the peace and unity of the
country restored, cannot reld the Governor 5
message or the editorials of his organ without a
feeling of the deepest modification and regret.
And il is this aspect of the case-the fact that
weak, vain, fanatcal men, perfectly reckless OF
all consequences, are in authorty-that causes
such dependency among large body of the best
men in the land.-Ohio Statesman.
