We regret to hear of tie sudden death of

States Consul General in Canada. He led

He had played one game of billiards, and
was playing another, in good spirits, at the
moment he was stricken down by disease,
Can affection of the nerves, operating on the
heart, we believe,) to which he had long
been subject. A bystander reports to US
that in the midst of his game be sal down
and leaned forward. apparently in an insensi.
BILE state. The bystanders raised him snd
carried him to sofa at the side of the room,
and thinking that he labored under q fit of
some kind, they applied water plentifully to
his face-in fact, doused his face with it
They again raised him UP, and for moment
he seemed to rally and recover conscious
ness, but soon fell forward again insensible,
and expired in about eight minutes from
the lime Of his FIRST attack. His medical at

FREEDOMS. TRIUMPH.

Oppression shall not always reign,
There comes brighter day,
When Freedom, bursts from every chain,
Shall have triumphant sway;
Then Right shall over Might prevail,
And Truth, like hero armed in mail,
Tho hosts of tyrant Wrong assail,
And hold eternal sway.
What voice shall bid the progress stay,
OF Truths victorious car
What arm arrest the growing day,
Or quench the solar star j:
What reckless soul, though stout and strong
Shall dare bring back tho ancient wrong
Expressions guilty might prolong,
And Freedoms morning bar !:
The hour of triumph comes apace-
The fate, promised hour
When Earth upon.a ransomod race
Her bounteous gifts sha II shower;
Ring, Liberty, the glorious bell,
Bid high thy sacred banners swell.
Let trump on trump the triumph tell,
OF Heavens redeeming power :

A Tribute to LOYAL Women.

At tho close of tho Patent Office Fair in
Washington, on Friday night, Mr.. Lincoln,
in answer to loud aud continuous calls
made the following remarks:
Ladies and GeutIomen / appear TO sn,
but q word This extraordinary war in
which we are engaged falls heavily apon all
classes of people, but the most heavily upon
the soldier. For i. has boen said, all that
man hath will be give for his life; and while
all contribute of their substance, the soldier
puts his life at stake, and often yields il up
in his country's cause. The his hest merit
then. is due to tho soldier. (Cheers.)
In this extraordinary war, strange de.
velopments have manifested themselves such
as nave not beon' seen in former wars
Among these manifestations nothing has
been more remarkable than these Fairs for
the relief of suffering soldiers and their
families. Aud the chief agents in these
Fairs are tho women of America. (CbeeIs \
II am not accustomed to tho use of Ian.
guage of culogy have never studied the
art OF paying compliments to women. but |
must say that, il all that has been sa ID by
orators and poets since tho creation of tho
world in praise of woman were applied to
tho women Of America, it would not do
them justice for thcir conduct during this
war. l will close by saying God bless tho
women of America!" (Great applause)

Clay, Garrison and Whittier.

John G. Whittier has written lstter to
the Boston Transcript, explaining the man.
ner OF MIR. Garrisou's liberation from prison
in Baltimore, in 1880, which has been as.
cr'bed to the generosity Of Henry Clay. 1t
appears that Mr.. Garrison was the first ed-
tor in New Elgland to nominate Mr.. CLAW
for the Presidency. On his Imprisonment
Mr.. Whittier wrote 70 Mr.. Clay, asking him
to use his personal and political influence to
secure his release. on tho ground that Gar
rison was his ardent supporter. Mr.. Clay
replied some time after that he bad written
to Baltimore in relation to the matter, but
found himself anticipated, aud Mr.. Garrison
had been liberated without his aid. Tho fine
and costs were in fact paid by Arthur Tap
pan of Now York. Mr.. Whittier was him
self an active political friend of Mr.. Clay at
that time. editing a papor advocating bis
claims, and assisting in writing his life
That himself and Garrison differed from
MIR Clay in after life was owing to tho pro-
gress of events in the struggle between free.
dom aud Slavery.

REBEL TALK OF ExrERMINATIoN.-T
rebels are Perpetually telling US that we
will have to exterminate the whole popu.
lalon Of the South before we can bring
their territory back into the Union. Now,
at the late election for Stale officers in
Arkansas. held under the National flag
and authority, there were polled seven
teeen thousand votes-beng one-third
OF the entire vote at the last Presidential
election. Yet, in other days, we heard
the like rebel cry from Arkansas, that we
would have 10 exterminate every body
there before It would submit. Probably
these rebel malignants simply mean that
they they themselves must be extermina-
ted, which is likely to be true. Noah
Webster tells us that TO extermnate
means, $40 drive from within the limits
or bordeIs," and we shall have no peace
until all malignant traitors are driven
either 10 the other side of Jordan or the
Rio Grande.
