"Speass for ITSELF" We should think it
did Whether it speaks for Hon Vim.
Kellogg, II. C., is thing to be asccrtaincd
from the resolutions said to have been
adopted by the meeting. It was very gen
orally remarked, after the pork-mol.sses
resolutions were published, that the
endorsement of the Kellogg proposition
had bcea somehow dropped out. Instead
thereof We we find the following article of
faith covering the snbjcct Ct slavery in the
Territories:

Now this Is precisely the opposite Of

Kellogg, 81 G., derives any satisfaction
from lis Chicago comforters, it dedee com
mon perception to see. In subsequent
resolution, it Is true, they declared that
they would sustain him in any honorable

It is equally untrue that the resolutions
in any way endorsed Mr. Lincoln. He was

The cock-and-bull story in the organ Of
tae Chicago Secessionists. setting forth
that Redpath, John Brown Jr., g. Co. are
organizing an army Of free blacks in the
North for the conquest of the seeding
States, is unquestionably [: product Of the
fine frenzy OF. the editors Of that sheet. Mr.
1'edpath is in Hayti engaged in scheme
ii'r the migration OF our co1ored population
to that island-a highly praiseworthy OBJ
ject, in which, for the good Of all con-
cerned, VIC hope he may succeed. The
danger to the Cotton States is no: from the
free blacks Of the North; but, if secession
becomes q fixed fact, We shall not be as
tonished to hear that, in war with Hayti,
they have been annexed to that Sable Re-
public. That, or conquest BY Mexico, would
sooner or later be their fate, unless their
late .countrymen should interfere. Will
not the Secession organ turn its batteries

tempted to lower Derby to his feet, but
found it impossible to let him go. The liv-
ing bearer had frozen stiff, and claspe6
around the arms Of tie dead man. The
two engineers were also frozen about the
hands that they could render no assistance.
Finding it impossible to rid himself of his
terrible burden IN any other way, Captain
Monroe flung himself on the ground. head
foremost, and thus "spilled" the dead man
from his shoulders. But he had escaped
from one horrible dilemma only to find
himself in another. His trowsers were fro
zen so stiff up to his hips that he was as
much unable to rise as if his legs had been
incased in lengths of stove pipe, and his
companions could render him no assistance.
At short distance was the body of man.
frozen in sitting position. Captain Mon
roe managed to roll himself to the body, and
by il climbed to his feet.
Thesli.tle spArtE. Of survivors now set out
on their painful march toward the light
house, which was at no great distance. They
had got safely along until within about three
hundred yards of the house, when a small
creek impeded their progress. First Engi-
neer Manchester ATTEMPTED to cross the
creek, but abandoned it and returned to the
shore, here he sat down, exhausted and de-
sparing. Second Engineer Cummings came
up, and endeavored TO encourage him to
farther efforts, but in vain. Captain Mon
roe begged Manchester to rise and make an
attempt to get around the creek, telling him
the light house was close by. Its of no
use, Captain said the unfortunate man,
81 can't go any father" Cummings placed
his arms around the body of his comrade in
order to lift him to his feet, but at that mo-
ment the icy hand of Death was laid on
both. and, clasped in each Others arms.
face almost touching face. with words OF
friendly cheer frozen in the utterance, these
two brave men-Manchester and Cummings
persisted within few minutes walk of safe
ty. In this position they were afterwards
found by the party in search. Captain
Monroe succeeded in safety, although badly
| frozen. Out of the twenty who had
| formed the crew and passengers of tie i'll
fated Jersey City, but five survived, being
Captain Monroe, two fremen, the wheels
man, and one passenger. The others eithe,
! persisted in the cruel waves, or were frozen
| to death in that awful march. Six of thu
| bodies have been recovered, some being re
| turned to their former homes, and others
buried on the Point.
We are glad to learn that the brave Cap
tain Monroe will not suffer so severely BY
his exposure as was at first feared. Suct
heroes can not be spared. His deeds o
daring and tender care during the fatal wrecl
and march of.death on Long Point, adds
brighter halo to the fame won by his gallan
rescue of the risk: of his own life, at tn;
mouth of Cleveland harbor, some years
since. FL ......r .
