A NUMBER of radical philanthropists
1,.ll ,,,n.t q, .rc

A SrMBER of radical DhilanthrOpists
in the Eastern cities have held meetings
To express sympathy and raise money
for the Cretans. now at war with Tnr-
key. This is all very well, of course,
hut the Crctans are only rebels. They
are merely striving, rs the people OF the
Southern States did, to throw of. their
allegiance To one government for the
nnrpose of forming new one, anu
doub;less the Turkish ministers OF re-
Gsion, if they nave any idea of the New
T,s,iment or are ut all like their Chris
ian brethren here, are daily thundering
anathemaS against them for failing to
upaold and respect the authority OF
"Ihc powers that be- which are or
LIincd of God" ALI. what vast amount
of Hypocrisy there is in the world
and low easy it is to send good wishes
:, rebels three thousand miles away
while breathing ont threatrnings and
slaughter. chains and death agaS"st
rebels at home. The government the
radicals propose to establish over the
,,,o,,I, of the south will be more OPP
nrcss;yr and uncomfortable than that ex-
,.rcised hy the Turks over the Cretans.

of protest against the wrongs which u

A hunting party in Weathersheid,
VT, q week or two ago, found, rs they
supposed, o bear track crossing the road
near the hotel twice, followed it up a
steep hill for about forty rods, anu came
to kind of cave. The dog was sent in,
but came rushing out at once, with evil
dent signs of fear. The party there
upon closed mp the mouth of the cave,
and went for reinforcements. The fol-
lowing day about one hundred and fifty
persons assembled ut the cave, hole
was broken through the top, and astout
ash stake was thrust in; it was instant
" seized and large piece torn Oft. An.
other was then lowered, the supposed
bear seized it, was drawn to the hole
and received revolver ball In the head
The screaming which followed is dc,
scribed as most terrifying. A second
time this operation was repeated, and
the charge took fatal effect. The hunt
ers were somewhat surprised to find IN
the cave a mails panther, seven feet
long, thirty-three inches high, and
weighing over one hundred and twenty
one pounds, the largest ever killed III

The Test Oath.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes:
learn that the several Executive
Departments of the Government havo
determined to regard the decision of the
Supreme Court prononncing the test
oath acts Of July ,, 1852, as inaplicable
to "civil officers" There can be no
question that the reasoning of the
Court goes the full length of regarding
the statute null and void generally. II
the Executive branch of the Govern
ment fail, under existing eircumstan'
ccs, to respect the authority of the Ju
dicial, how can it be expected that the
Legislative will be obedient to its be-
hcsts. or that subordinate judicial tri
bunals will not scorniully repndiate it'
solemn Judgments, rs has already
been done by the inferior Judges OF thu
District.

A,m.spheric Phc.s mensn.

The Chicago Tmes notices that dur
ing the prevalence of fire in the west
crn part of that city tho other night,
the people In the centre of the town
who were looking at it observed a
strange phenomenon. The night was
dark, but to the west the fire lighted
the horizon for q. considerable space
Above this lurid reflection, there shot
upward pillar of FIRE, strange In shape,
size and color. Its altitude was no less
than seventy degrees, with q breadth
nearly that of the rainbow, even up to
the highest pinnacle. For base was
the dark red reflection OF the fire; then
commenced the pillar, of pale yellow
ish hue; halfway up, it turned to
light red, and the whole surmounted by
o glowing dark red crown. This crown
it would sometimes draw down within
f.self, and then suddenly SHOOT up into
the sky, for u moment giving brilliant
hue to the entire heavens.

Hassachusetts slavery.

A few years ago slavery was tolerated
in Massachusetts,, and the newspapers
were filed with advertisements relating
to negroes, The following specimens,
gathered from old Massachusetts, papers,
are furnished by Mr.. Moore, librarian
of the New York Historical Society, and
recently published by him. One OF them
offers for sale:
VERY GOOD Barbados rum and a
young negro that has had tho small
poH,
Another trader oifers:
LIKELY NEGRO men and women, just
arrived.
Another:
A LIKELY NEGRO man, bred In the
country, and bred farmer-fit for any
service.
Another:
A LIKELY NEGRO woman, about nine
teen years old, and n child six months
of age, to be sold together or apart.
More marvellous is another Of the fol-
lowing tenor:
A NEGRO CHILD, soon expected, OF
a good breed, may be owned hY any
person inclined to take il,
Hese is one sample more. to complete
the assortment:
TO BE SOLD, an extraordinary likely
negro woman, seventeen years old; she
can be warranted to be strong, healthy
and good-natured; has no notion OF
freedom; has been. always used to a
farmers kitchen and dairy, and is moi
known to have any failing but being
with child, which is the only cause OF
her being sold. -
The New Haven Register says: "Ii
seems that in those very pious days ol
Massachusetts,, it was cheaper to buy
negroes there, ready grown. than to pay
for feeding and clothing their infant!
while too young to work. Their good
men were too stingy TO pay for taking
care of helpless children, and 80 sold the
mothers into slavery to get rid of them
They were not then mp to the modern

the influence of "GOvernor Boreman'
and that immortal body of patriots who
are now assembled at Wheeling, we are
to have the registration law changed
so that five men in each comfy of the
State shall say who are loyal and who
are disloyal; who shall vote and who
shall not vote; or in palmer terms, five
men to govern the consciences of the
free men of West Virginia. Now think
if the Legislature of our State would
read the constitutions of West Virgins
/ and the United States, and make them
selves acquainted with the patriotic
savings and doings of such men as
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, &c.
they would repeal the whole
registration act. II there is particle
of honesty or common sense i'll our rep
resentatives we have right to look fol
the repeal of this law, which is dis.
grace to this or any other State. What
say you, Mr.. Lamb and Colonel Lane
In the early days of our Republic men
were declared disloyal for holding to
principles which were derogatory to
the Constitution and laws of our com.
mon country. Now men are declared
disloyal if they hold to sentiments
which are contrary to the dominant
party who bear sway in our once happy
country. Arise, We sons of West Nlr.

incubus: or will We sit like sniveling
kittens, crying "mew"

ocrites upon the face of terra .frmd
They pretend to have large share OF

they can scarcely live. Yes, tax them
OH every stitch they wear and every

pretend to be very loyal, while not 4
day passes over their impious heads but
they are violating some part of the con-
stitrtion Of our country and threaten
violence to tho rights of man. They
pretend to be very economical aud are
every day plunging our country into a
vortex of indebtedn -ss, so deep that
they and their constituents can never
zee bottom. They call themselves the
Union party and oppose every measure to

they said they were going to fight wal

hypocrites are in power. o! ye hypo'
critic, how can you escape the wrath ot

their folly and hypocricy, they talk Of

Extraordinary Scene ON tho Thames


An extraordinary scene was witness

tiers of shipping and large steamer
moorcd on the north side of the river
Great damage was done by collision
and several small craft were sunk will
their crews, who were either crushed tc
death. among the ice or perishsd from
drowning. The fields of ice that had
been accommodating within the last few
days we're formidable. The excitement
among the crews was very great, and
the destruction among the shipping by
collision and falling spars could 6t
heard on both sides of the river. All
the steamers and vessels lying in the
various tiers oil the north side OF the
Thames from the Custom House to the
Tunnel Pier, including the Tower, New
castle. ST. Kathariue's. Dublin, &c.
shared the same fate. The exact nnm
Der of vessels that were lying at the va
rious tiers is not known; but OF those
which were forced from their mooring'
not one escaped damagc-some were
dismasted, others stove and otherwise
damaged, while the remainder were
driven ashore. In one instance tne
masts. which were carried away, fell
and crushed a seaman to death.
