York, men, falsely usurping the name of De-
mOcracy, have been willing to invite the inter
position of the aristocracy of Europe Theg.
men must be made to know that they stand
alone. A nation which has always prOfessed
zeal for free trade, aims at a monopoly of the
International carrying trade for themselves, by
sending out shi)S built in their o vn ship-yards,
to prey upon our commerce. Cheers 1t is
here in New York, more than in any place in
our land, that the Government should be able
to count with certainty upon unanimous sup
port in its ettOr.S to maintain against any for
eign power, the rights and the dignity and the
interests Of the country. So then the love of
the CONSTITUTIONS the love of liberty, the love of
country, proper sense of overhanging dangers
a just appreciation of our resources, conspir> to
demand the patriotic union Of the people as our
security at home and our only protection against
wrongs from abroad. Loud cheering.

that it is the most profitable as we'll as the
safest investment now open to the pub

financial as well as the popular judgment
of the country, as is indicated by the fac,
that over two millions a day are now be-
ing invested in these Government bonds.
In our own town we know that our largest
capitalists, our most successful business
men and our shrewdest spectators, with
out distinction Of party, have invested in
Government bonds. In view of these facts
we very confidently commend the invest
ment to all our readers who have more
money on hand than they have any i'm.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.

One OF he most revolving affairs that
it has ever been our lot to chronicle, nc
Cured in this village on Monday night
last. 1t appears from the evidence, that
a man uuder the influence of liquor, by
the name % Carr, (who has worked in
the St. Croix pinenes for several years
past, ana whose residence is at SILVIA
ter, entered the house Of Charles Ha-
gan, a Norwegian, whose wife has been
confined to her bed bv sickness for the
past three months, aud who was not cx-
pcctea long to survive.
1t appears that Carr effected the en
trance by removing board which cover
ed an aperture in the door, in which q
window had formerly been, and which
was fastened with nails. After his en-
trance. it appears he passed through two
doors to the room OF the sick woman,
getting into he'd with her without awsk-
ing her husband, who being almost her
sole attendant, probably slept uncommon
" sound in his exhausted condition. He
awoke with the impression that his wife
called his name. arose from his bed,
which was on the floor, at the foot of the
one OF v hch bis wife lay.
Upon ascertaining the facts somo Of
the nearest neighbors were called, who
found her corpse, and the two bodies
in such condition rs to furnish almost
conclusive evidence that she had been
the subject Of his loathsome passions, that
had caused her death.
His examination was made and he was
committed to await the action of the Dis
trict court. 1t is horrible to contemplate
this most inhuman affair, ana it forcibly
illustrates the effect of spiritlous liquors
on extreme natures.
