beaten a negro in the street, who was rescued

AUSTRIA AND THE LATE KING OF NAPLKs-
We find In our files Of the Canada, a strange
piece OF news-a rupture between Austria and the
king OF Naples. The perfidy of the latter towards
Austria appears to be established Ii the statement

AID OF his fleet to Garibaldi to assist him I'm the

JusT LIKE BARRY.-In 1850, when
the Convention to revise the Constitution
met at Lansing, that BODY found that the
Legislature had omitted to make any
provisions for stationery for the Conven-
tion. How 10 buy the necessary paper,
pens, ink &c., for the use of the dele
gates, in the absence of any appropriation
for that purpose, was a question. John
S. Barry was Governor at the time, and
not one cent would he permit TO 60 from
the Treasury without the sanction of the
law. "But, gentlemen" said the Cover
nor, +" There is an appropriation Of $500
standing to my credit for the payment of
a private secretary; and rs I do my own
writing without extra charges to the
Treasury of the State, have never drawn
a cent Of the $500, nor do ! mean to, for
private Secretary while ] am Govornor.
l am able to do all my own writing with
out help, and therefore I will authorize
you to use that appropriation to buy sta
tionery for the Convention" And thus
was the stationery bought, as the journals
Of the Convention will show. Oh, that

How WASHINGTON WOULD BE TREAT
EDS" If George Washington were now
living in Michigan, he would be branded
by the leaders of the doughface democ-
racy of this State ms an 'abottionist,' and
would be prescribed by them as such.'


So says one of the black republican
sheets, but the remark in not worth much,
and it will not pay to stop and dispute
it. But one thing is certain and not sub
ject to any contingencies whatever
Were Washington now living, and should
he chance to travel in Michigan with his
confidential servant, as was his wont when
he travelled in the northern States, he
would be thrust into the penitentiary for
a term of not less than ten years if the
black republican law was carried into ef-
feet. Washington always Travelled with
black servant; the black republicans
have enacted that such travelling in this
State shall be subject to imprisonment in
the State Prison for term of years.
That would be Washington's reception by
the black republicans of Michigan. They
would have him safely housed at Jackson
before the democrats would have time tc
brand him as an abolitionist."

is in sound slumber, they generally alight
near the feet where, while the creature con

to expect that the people of the South will
tamely submit to a position of inferiority

The Union of the States, likca partnership
between individuals, is cemented only by the
interest of the several parties to the compact
of association. So long as they find that
they can best promote their individual ad-
vantage thereby, so long, as sensible men,
will they remain associated: so soon as they
discover that the connection is a losing one,
so soon, as sensible men, will they dissociate
themselves. If a majority of the partners
seize upon the common fund, which belongs
alike to all, and appropriate it, in violation of
every rule of right, to their own individual
purposes, in utter exclusion of the claims of
the minority, the latter, we opine, would
scarcely be satisfied with high sounding eu-
logiums upon the partnership as "the para
mount good" or accept past profits as full
indemnity for future gains.


We love the Union, as it was meant to be; T;
but we have little respect for those who are
perpetually chanting peans to any sort of a
Union which, even by military force, will
hold the States together, without reference
to any question of the honor or the interest of
