HAYTI-A large meeting of our color,
ed population was held on Monday last, j.
L. Griffith in the chair, to take into con-
sideration the propriety Of adopting meas,
ures for removing to llayti. Considerable
information was elected respecting that
country, and we understand preliminary
steps taken for forming an assoeiation with
a view of sending out few persons to ex
anime into the soil, climate, government,
&c. We have no doubt that country of
iers strong inducements to emigrants, both
in climate and productions, and that once
settled there and their houses in order few
would wish themselves back in the United
States. The hope of the colored man must
be III himself, for although respected here
when worthy, yet his position must always
be an inferior one, because popular preju-
dice instead of favoring his advancement is
actually retarding it.

Glorious Union Victory I'm Kentuclky.-
John j. Crittenden.

The returns from the Kentucky election
indicate that the Union men have made a
clean sweep in that noble State. They
have probably carried all the ten members
of Congress, save, perhaps, the First Dis.
trict, in which BURNETT, secession, is elected.
The majorities are enormous. Those oppo-
sing the Union polled the feeblest kind of a
vote, and made wonderful exhibition of
weakness.
The venerable patriot and statesman,
Hon. JOHN j. CR1rTENDEN, is elected by a
splendid vote in the Ashland District. His
success will in an especial manner gladden.
the hearts of Union men from Maine to
California. From bis talents and influence
we have much to hope for in the Congress
which is soon to meet. After service in
the Senate of half century, Mr.. CR1rrEN.
DEN, at the age of seventy-six, goes to the
House Of Representatives, where he will
occupy position similar to that of JOHN @.
ADAMS and Colonel BENTON, who, in their
old age, were returned to that body.

STAND FROM UNDER.

WISCONSIN WILD Oar COMING DOWN.
On last Saturday, in Milwaukee, the first
batch of Wild Cats came down with q
smash upon the business men. The Bank
ers of Milwaukee, who were the originators
of the scheme to protect Wisconsin money
until the first of December, broke their
agreement with the business men, by giving
notice, that from and after that date, the
following named banks would only be re-
ceived as special deposits, viz:
Bank of Columbus,
Bank of Green Bay,
Bank of Portage,
City Bank of Kenosha,
Dodge County Bank,
E. r. Hnckley & Co.'S. Bank,
La Crosse County Bank,
Northern Bank,
Waupun Bank,
Wisconsin Pinery Bank,
The compact having been broken by
those who inaugurated it, there is no hope
that the Wisconsin list will stand for any
length of time. All should stand from un-
der, or suffer the consequences.
Since the above was written, we have
received news of terrible riot in Milwau-
kee, produced by the action of the Brokers.

Officers on Wednesday last:

han, Van Wrinkle and Lazar.
The election of Attorney General was
postponed until Saturday.
Gov. PIERPoNT was inaugurated on the
Goth, taking, in addition to the usual oath,
one of stringent opposition to the usurpers
at Richmond. He then delivered an adj
dress to the members of the Convention,
urging vigorous prosecution of the work
Of redeeming the State from the hands of
the rebels.
The Convention then adopted an ordin.
ance " to authorize the apprehension of sus-
pected persons in time of war;" which pro-
vides as follows:
If the Governor shall have just cause to be-
lieve that any person in this state, claiming to
be subjects or citizens of the said Confederate
States, or adhering to and supporting the said
Convention or the said Confederate States, or
PROCESSING to owe obedience or allegiance to
the same, are about to assemble together, for
the purpose of drilling or receiving military
instruction, or to organize themselves as a
military force, or to attempt any military ope.
ration, or to do any act which may endan-
ger the safety or welfare of the good people of
this commonwealth or any portion of the same;
he may cause such assemblage to be prevented

said, to be apprehended and secured, or may
compel them to depart from this state, and for
this purpose he may issue his warrBnt or order
directed to any sheriff or other officer, civil or
military, which warrant or order shall be exc
cuted as aforesaid, and any assemblage or two
or more persons for any purpose inimcal to the
government of the United States, or of this
state as organized by this Convention, shall be
deemed an unlawful assembage, and the per-
sons so offending may be proceeded against and
punished as provided in chapter l95 of the Code

The following resolution was offered on

81 to II:
Resolved, That the geographical position and
business and social relations of Western Vir-
ginia are such that her vital interests demand a
division of the State; that the proper time to
make such demand will be when Virginia has a
legally constituted Legislature and that then
we will use our utmost endeavors to consumate
that division.

Help for the Union Men of Tennessee.
The Louisville Journal says there can be
little doubt that the Union men of Eastern
Tennessee will appeal to the Federal au-
thorities for recognition and support as an
organized provisional government repre-
sentipg the State. The adjourned Union
Convention of the eastern counties was to
reassemble at Greenville last week, THOMAS
A. r. NELSON, President, and it was gen.
orally understood that its action would be
to assume the same powers which the voice
of the whole country has already ratified in
the Wheeling example. Senator JOHNSON
has therefore FASTENED to Washington to
induce the Cabinet to do in some way for
his own State and people what is being
done for Western Virginia; and it can
hardly be that his mission will fail of sue
cess. He will return to Tennessee at once.
The correspondence of the Herald, writ~
ing from Washington, on the 22d, says:
Gentlemen here who are in communication
WIN OQlOnlSG Oh EdSI 1tuucSSct, are VI tHC
opinion that the Convention called to meet at
Knoxville, will pursue course similar to that
adopted by the Wheeling convention in Virgin
ia. They will repudate the usurpers at Nash
vile, elect Governor and State government,
as near as possible, in conformity with the
provisions of the State constitution, and call
upon the loyal men of Tennessee to rally to
their support. The Union men there are at
the fighting point. All they want from the
Government is arms, when they have these
they will take care of themselves, and close
the Cumberland Gap Railroad against the reb-
els. 1t has been the main avenue for rein-
forcements and supplies to the rebels in Vir.
ginia. This movement will supply another
segment to the circle of Union men that is be-
ing gradually frightened around the rebels in
Virginia.
The majority 10 Tennessee for secession,
is triling, compared to the vote in other
Southern States. The Memphis appeal
contains the returns of the recent election
in Tennessee, from all the counties and
makes the following footings: For Seces.
sion, 1925; for the Union, 46,OS5. In
Eastern Tennessee the vote is-for the
Union, 81 40; for Secession, 1923;
Union majority, 1927. The call for a
convention is defeated by considerable
majority.

Douglas MOnument--HOw a Large Sum
of Money May be Raised.

The Douglas Monument Committee met
at Washington, on the 10th, Hon. John B.
Haskin in the chair. 1t was ANNOUNCED
that Col. Forney would deliver the eulogy
on the deceased statesman, and that Prof.
Henry had kindly profered the use of the
lecture room of the Smithsonian Institution,
of which Judge Douglas was one of the
Regents, for the delivery of the eulogy on
the Sd of July. Prof. Henry was selected
to preside. The Committee had under con-.
sideration the use to which the Douglas fund
should be appropriated; but it came to no
faal conclusion. The following resolutions,
proposed, were adopted:
Resolved, That an address to the citizens of
the United States be prepared and publisl Led,
setting forth the objects of this committee.
Resolved That the President appoint an
auxiliary committee for each State, to consist
of not more than eleven nor less than three
members, such committees to report to this
committee.
Resolved, 1t is recommended that the friends
of the late Senator Douglas, without distinction
of party, assemble in their respective towns,
cities and villages, on the evening of the Sd of
July next, for the purpose of forming relief and
monument associations for their several local
tiles, when donations and subscriptions will be
received and forwarded to the Treasurer here
after to be appointed.
The New York Times publishes propo-
siton which shows how much can be done
in the aggregate by small effort on the
part of each individual. 1t p, opposes that
every man who voted for Mr.. Douglas in
1860 should contribute one three cent post
age stamp; and that contribution alone
would realize $4,000. If one half of those
persons would send two stamps, the total
would be 100000. Ii those who can spare
it add to the stamps one, two, five or ten
dollar bill, there would be but little labor
in raising round 100000. We mention
this to show how little from each, where
all contribute, would soon contribute
handsome fund.

The Death Of Count CavOur.

The obsequeies OF Count Cavour were
performed on the 7th, with almost royal
pomp. All the great bodies of State, and
in fact the whole population of Turin, took
part. All the houses were draped in black.
The Turin Opinione afirms that the mind OF
Count Cavour was perfectly composed
when be died, and says that in bis delirious
moments he frequently give utterance to
the words, "Italy, Rome, Venice, Napo.
leon," and added, II will have no state OF
siege. Italy must regenerate herself by
liberty. Italy cannot perish"

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "The New
York reporters tell me that the censor who
sits in the telegraph Office here, and revises
all dispatches, is making awful work with
the "news." If they happen to get the
facts about movement, the dispatch be-
comes contraband of war and is con6scated.
IT the matter Is utterly erroneous, it passes
freely"

The Measures Of the Next Congress

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press expresses the opinion
that Congress will not remain in special
session longer than three weeks, and that
the action of the Houses will be confined to
the following subjects:
l. A full sanction of the Presidents meas
ures in connection with the war;
II. bankrupt law.
III. tax upon tea and coffee. as recon-
mended by Gov. Walker during the Mexican
War, when he was at the head of the Ire asury
Department.
