And swore that to their own hoart's blood

From thirty to sixty, fair, pain, red and pale,

Cornelius Harris a colored shoemaker, has
been proposed as candidate for Mayor of
Richmond, Virginia. Three blacks and two
whites have been proposed for the Common

that they will be elected. The colored

Ored men have had little experience in Of

Z An An L Item auu Of Political history.

Rev. N. a. Gray, in late slangwhang-
ing speech against the Democracy, gives
this item ofpolitical history: ezfF
"Vallandigham was arrested, and but
for Governor Tod, his wife would have
been widow The Sunday after his ar
rest, was walking with Governor Tod in
the streets of Columbus, when General
Burnside's Adjutant from Cincinnati ap-
preached and said, privately. IF the Gov
ernor makes no objection. Burnside feels
it his duty-in this emergency to hang Val
lanuigham at once.' The Governor thought
itlwould enrage his Southern friends. and
fire the Southern beart,' and though de-
served, policy pointed to the Dry Tortu-
gas.nBo sir ia l758eea5 5s5 .a1 sl5 7.sss7iL ss-
So if this man is to be believed, the
Burnside of Fredericksburg was desirous
to have the highest of all crimes upon his
soul and to do that which sail the waters
of the ocean could not have washed out"
Governor Tod was not willing to wade
quite so far into iniquity, but he went
far enough to cover himself with eternal
execrations and reproach. - If he had the
spirit of a brave man, he would have de-
manded Vallandigham's release, instead of
consenting to his kidnapping and deporta-
tion.r The time will come when adj the ac-
tors in that -rascalfy transaction will re-
ceive their just deserts. a ses~~ -st-g-ss

We may well inquire, what means this?
and pause for reply. Is the anti-whisky
regulation set at Defiance? Are the night
sessions Of the House mere bacchanalian
orgies?s Is the public business to be
transacted under the influences of the in
toxieating cup? Is it an impossibility for
the Hero of Vienna toabe kept sober? Has
the venerable gentleman from Pennsyl-

Crowned Heads of Europe.

| MaXimiliani was cousin to Queen Vic
toria, the Queen of Spain, and the Kings of
Italy and sweden, a brother-in-law OF the
King of Belgium, and brother of the EN-
| perOr of Austria. He was in fact, con-
| nected by the ties of blood and kindred
with all or nearly all the crowned heads OF
Europe. What wholesome lesson the
| crowned heads of Europe have received
| from the Government of Mexico. They
have, at terrible cost of both men and
money, learned that interference with the
rights of The people on the American Con-
tinent is expensive and cannot be under
taken without the expectation of loss OF
| wealth, credit and lite. The execution OF
Maximilian and the failure of the schemes
! of Napoleon to plant monarchy
on the soil of America, will prove not only
beneficial to the United States, but also
| to the whole American -penpla-Haa- tlte
French and English Governments with

\ third the trouble it had in putting lown

were Jealous of the great growth and pros
| perity of the United States, and let no op-
! portunity escape to cripple, and if possi-
BILE TO destroy the American Union. They
put their feet upon the ploughshare, and
! it is no more than Just that they should
suffer part of the calamities they helped to
entail upon the American nation. They
have helped to place this whole land in
mourning by the murder of its people,
and as misfortune loves company it is not
likely that the crowned heads of Europe
will receive a great deal OF sympathy from
the sovereigns of America. Charity be
/ gins at home, and if the American people
have tears to shed, we opine that it will not
be on account of the misfortunes and dis
comfiture of the despots of Europe. There
are Carlottas without number in this coun-
try, whose husbands were sacrificed to the
fcruel lusts of war which would never
have taken place had it not been for the
aid and encouragement EXTENDED by the
relatives of Maximilian to the leaders who
rebelled against, nation of sovereigns.
The lesson the despots of Europe have re-
| ceived will no doubt be q salutary one.
Calamities as a general thing soften the
heart, and in their case may have a bene-
ficial effect in regard to the treatment of
those who are subject to their rule and
power. If Maximlian's death is product
i've of this result, Europe as well as Mexi-
co will be benefited by it.

Presents 10 the Pope.

Among the presents to the Holy Father
at the great ecclesiastical conyocation in
Rome, is one brought by the bishops OF
Canada, in the shape of silver ship, with
every detail beautifully executed. The
ballast of this costly toy is composed of
gold nuggets, and each of the cabins con-
tains heap of gold money from different
country. The masts and cordage are gaily
dressed with bank notes of every color, and
from every country in the world. Al for
eign journal relates that a very old bishop
sought an audience of the Holy Father lean1
ing ON a large thick staff. The master of
the, ,1E ceremonies told him that he
must first lay his staff aside, as etiquette
did not permit of his carrying it into the
Pope's presence. The Bishop claimed ex-
emption from the rule, and the Pope hear
ing what was going on, ordered him to be
admitted. Accordingly be appeared before
the Holy Father, and rendering his homage,
stated that his diocese was so poor he had
nothing to bring him but his stick. This
the Pope took in his hand and found very
heavy, on which he looked at it more closely
and perceived that it was formed of solid
gold. One of the English Bishops pre-
sented the Pope with $50O,000.

y 49,
More than thirty years ago, the British
Home Government in obedience to the
long continued appeals of English Aboli-
tienists, emancipated the slaves inyits West
Indian possessions. The decree of eman-
cfpatior in the then fertile and prod uctive
island of Jamaica was hailed by English
and American Abolitionists as a. grand
.achievement. But from thai day forward
the island began to decline and deteriorate
In her industry, productiveness, trade and
commerce. The freed negroes could not
be induced to work. and rapidly sank into
idleness, yagrancy, superstition and bar
made to n educate. christlanfize and elevate t
them in the social scale. - =, -

who had taken special charge of their vel
fare. that all. that was wanted was to place
these freedmen on an equality with the
white citizens by giving them the right to

the British Government has been conf
PEELED to rescind its former action and take
iron the Jamaica negroes the privilege of
voting and holding Office. The negroes
continued to grow worse-and worse, under
the, new regime of equality with the
whites, until, after a long and unsatisfae-
tory trial, the experiment was recently
abandoned as an utter and hopeless failure.
The freedmen SO abused the freedom and
the eseeIectiye franchise accorded them, so

But lessons like these are lost upon the
negro fanatics of our day. Not because,
as some suppose, they are monomaniacs
on the question Of negro rights; but be-
