of any foreign vessel into the port of
that country.
More of the crew OF the Manhattan
was permitted to land, and after receiv-
ing provisions they were escorted to the
open sea and warned never to enter the
port again. Concer was an object of
curiosity to the natives. 1t was the
first time they had ever seen colored
man, and the sight of him created great
CONSERVATION among those who visited
the vessel.
Concer had accumulated considera.
BILE money, and having no relatives, he
left his entire property to religious al d

SENATOR LINDSAY, OF Kentucky, VINO
was foolish enough to desert his party
in its dire straits last year, now says Dc
thinks sit was very unwise" for the
democratic committee of Pennsylvania
TO depose their chairman, who was luxe
warm last year. In view OF the effect OF
the action of Mr.. Lindsay and the other
democratic deserters, the less those
gentlemen say about the wisdom or un'
wisdom of democrats, the better tor
them. Men in their positions, who
pursued the course they did last year,
should, for their own reputation, re-
sign, and either join thsrepublicans in
name, as they did in fact during the
late Presidential contest, or go into po'
litical retirement. If they be reason
able, they certainly can't expect any
more favors from the party they desert
ed, and the advice they presume to give
to that party is impertinent etrontery
and is received as such.
