Said Daniel Webster to friend in
New York, in 1850:
eff the Internal Abolitionists ever
get the power in their hands, they
will override the Constitution; set
the Supreme Court at defiance;
change and make laws to suit them
selves; lay violent hands on those
who differ with them in their Opt
nions, OF dare question their infalli-
bility, and finally bankrupt the conn
try and deluge it with blood
Mr.. Clay said of the Abolition
party, in 1889, in the United States
Senate:
"NVith them, the rights of property
are nothing; the deficiency of the
powers of the General Government is
nothing; the acknowledged and IN
contestible powers Of the States are
nothing; the dissolution OF the Union
and the overthrow of the Govern
ment, in which is concentrated the
hope of the civilized world, are no
thing. A single idea has taken pos
session Of their mind, and onward
they pursue it, overlooking all bar
riers, and regardless of all conse-
quences.

Dissolution of the Rump ParIim-

The following account of the dis
persion of the rump Parliament, by
Cromwell, may be regarded with
some interest just now:
The Parliament by which Charles /
had been met and overcome had
dwindled down by various p;rgations
to about tifty-three members, who
aimed at becoming Il sort of mild
oligarchy for the administration of
the Commonwealth. They were de-
hberating on Il bill for the future
representation, in which they should
have permanent place, when Crom-
we'll resolved to make an end of them
1t was the last incident III the natu-
raj series of q revolution, placing
military power above all other.
Cromwell, having ordered a com
pany of muSketeers to follow him,
entered the House, in ''plain black
clothes and worsted stockings" and,
sitting down, listened for awhile to
their proceedings. Hearing at length
the question put, that the bill do
pass, he rose, put off his hat, and
began to speak. In the course OF his
address, he told them Of their self
seeking and delays of justice, till at
length Sir Peter Wentworth inter
rupted him with Il remonstrauce
against such language. Then, blaz-
ing up, he said, 1--WE have had
enough of this; 1 will put an end to
your prating.'
Stepping into the floor OF the
House, and clapping on his hat, he
commenced Il violent harangue,
which he occasionally emphasized by
stamping with his feet, and which
came mainly to this: 1T is not fit
you shonld sit here any longer-you
have sat too long for any good You
have been doing lately. You shall
now give place to better men. Call
them inn' he exclaimed, and his
officer Harrison and file of soldiers
entered the House Then preceding:
'1ou are no Parliament. Some Of
you are drunkards' s''-bending stern
eye upon Mr.. Chaloner: ''some Of
you are ---,' word expressive Of Il
worse immortality, and he looked at
Henry Martin and Sir Peter Went
worth; Giving in open contempt Of
Gods commandments. Some Of You
are corrupt, unjust persons; how can
you be Parliament for Gods peo-
pie? Depart, I say, and let us have
done with you. Coz
He lifted the mace from the table
and gave it to q musketeer, to be
taken away. He caused Harrison to
give his hand to Speaker Lenthal and
lead him down from the chair. The
members, cowed by his violence and
the sight of his armed men, moved
gloomily out of the house. ''It is
the Lord that hath caused me to do
this, he said. 81 have sought that
He would rather slay me than put
me upon doing this work Sir
Harry Vane ventured remonstrance
ooh, Sir Harry Naner' exclaimed
the Lord General; 1.-The Lord deliver
me from Sir Harry Vane" When all
had gone out, he came out, too, and
locked the door From that time, he
was master of the three kingdoms
for about five and half years.

bert, and not in her lawful welded Jo-
scph, and connived plan of etopc.
ment with him--taking, to defray all
incidental expenses, the three hundred
and twenty dollars. Mr.. l.. was absent
from home at the time, but upon his
return found no one at home-the chill
dren at a neighbor's. A young man
from this city, an accomplice III the act,
had furnished the carriage and, quo
ting from the Obserrer, who has proba-
bly, been credibly informed of all the
facts, " a brother of Mrs. Liston sus-
pectlng that evening that all was not
right concluded to watch at the road
side in the woods near the house
Some time after dark covered car
rlage drove up near the house, past
where the young man was Keeping
watch, and turned around to go back.
When the carriage came near the
young man, a woman's voice was heard
to cry out, Hold on | want to ride
Unknown to each other the brother
and sister had sought hiding places
near together, and when she advanced,
making the above remark, the brother
sprang forward and caught her, say
ing, No. by Cd, you won't" She
cried for help, and Lashaway jumping
from the carriage, took part in the tus-
sic, which resulted in the release of
the woman, and the couple, getting In
to the carriage, rode off. The carriage
was tracked to De Witt, and it was
discovered at the Gates House that
they had arrived there about six o'clock
in the morning, the gallant registering
the name "A. Lashaway and lady"
The Sheriff followed them up as al
ready stated, and obtained three hun
drcd dollars of the missing money,
which was given to Liston. The hus-
band gave Mrs. Liston $50, and told
her that he "ncver wanted to see her
face again" This she took very cool
ly ; but when, by permission of the
Sheriff, she went to the Jail door to bid
her fiddler goodbye, she was moved to
tears. \ parting kiss was taken, aud
the loving pair had to separate. Mr..
,Liston,, from respect to the parents of
his infidel wife, has dropped the case,
though he could no donbt have the of
tenders sent to State Prison. Both
Lashaway and his devoted Mary de-
clare their intention Of yet living to-
gcther, although he has wife in Cana
da, having come out here to secure a
place to move to. Mrs. Liston gave
Lashaway S25 Of the $50 she received
of her husband. He is now in Jail, and
we have not been informed of her
whereabouts"

The De Witt Iowa) Observer, of the
9th ult., gives an elaborate account of
an elopement that occurred from the
timber north Of that place at recent
date, in the case of Mr. Joseph Liston's
wife Mary and one Albert Lashaway.
Sheriff Hogle, of Clinton County, and
his Deputy, Wickes, arrested the par
ties at Ramassa, seven miles east of
De Witt, on the 9Th April. 1t seems
that Mrs. Mary was given to much
shufliing of the light fantastic toe"
&c, which her husband objected to.
MIR. Liston is an attentive, hard work
ing man, and recently sold farm i'm

piled for their future maintenance

twenty summers, and living in the
neighborhood of Liston's for some

responsibility is attached to that prof.
fession, and the winning ways of one
given to it, as was Lashaway, soon
won the fair Mary. She concluded the
embodiment of perfection was in Al

Although she was nearly crazed over
the terrible blow inflicted, with true
womanly courage she remained true
and faithful to her obligations. I'm the
fall of 1864, having met with great
pccuniary success, the once intended
husband removed from Pennsylvania
to st. Louis, where he rS9fxned until
last summer, when he nsarficd an ac-
complished lady in that city, and after
ward removed to Buchanan county in
this State. His discarded lady friend"
in Pennsylvania Immediately moved to
st. Louis Oh hearing of his marriage to
another, and has been watching him
closely until short time ago, when
she commenced suit against him in
Buchanan county for breach of prom
lse, laying damages at $50, 900. 1t
certainly promises to he an interesting
controversy, as neither party is dis
posed to yield or compromise.

Here is the plea in figures which cx-
hibits at once our suicidal reliance up
on foreign countries and just claim
for protection.
Taking the prices of the products
and articles consumed in the great
market Of the Northwest i'm November,
1850, and November, 1865, on a gold.
basis, thus enumcratcd--wlicat, corn,
oats, barley, mess beef, mess pork, lard,
beef cattle, live hogs, cheese, broom
corn, sorghum, and butter, and they
were slNty-seven per cent, higher.
Taking six examples of articles
made from iron and the advance is
thIrty-t0ur per cent. Five examples
in woolens show an advance of nine
teen per cent, while wool shows an
advance of only fourteen per cent.

In establishing the reciprocity treaty
and tariff policy, it will become the
duty of Congress to offer proper pro-
lection to wool. The Lord Chancellor
of England has for centuries presided
i'm the House of the Lords sitting on a
wool-sack, seat without back or arms,
being a symbolical tradition of the inn
portanee which that nation has always
attached to the wool product. Mar
shall, the eminent writer and agricul-
turist of the last century, embodied the
sentiment in the remark, "As an OBJ
ieet of national attention the coat OF
the sheep is of the first Importance,
and every willful attempt to supplant
or debase it is an act of treason against
the State" Our country has adopted
another policy in a seeming exhibition
of the spirit of the eccentric John Ran
.dolph, founded on the remark attribu
Ided to him, yet never uttered, that "ho
would go mile to kick a sheep.
True, that eminent writer and faithful
friend to the flock, Henry 5. Randall
LII. d., gave to the southern States q
volume in counsel of which they were
not worthy in behalf of sheep husband
ry and labor. 1t did not turn them
to the enriching of their lands, the di
versioning of their industry, and tc
the emancipation of a race, and the
blind homage paid TO King Cotton was
