‘Worse than Slavery; ——Professor Stowe of
‘Cincinnati, states the following facts, in a re-
cent.-mimber of the American Biblical Re-
pository :

\‘ \Ve have, in the United States, no idea
of the hopeless poverty to which. great masses
‘of people in other countries are condemncd.
Millions of industrious and virtuous families
in Europe can afford in the severest weather
to-keep a fire only an hour or two in the
morning. Coarse black bread’ and water
alone constitute the usual food of the labor-
ing, people, and happy do they consider
themselves if they get enough of this. The
women bring the produce from the fields
and take it to the markets in long baskets
fastened to their shoulders; and in noneof

‘ the slave states which I have visited have I

ever seen negro aromen druzlging in such
toilsome out of door labor as falls to the lot
of the labo'rz'ng «uvomcn‘of G'crman_r/ and
France. And all this they do for l(‘.SS‘lll5'm
the bare necessaries of life. In one of the
most fertile and wealthy provinces of gay,
polite, and sunny France, I have SCH]
blooming girls from-twelve to eiglitecxi, lug-
ging manure into the vineyards in baskets.”

 

Laughable Incident.---A gentleman of
this city, on leaving New Orleans, a few
days since, in the Maid of Orleans, started
with some fine water melons, as a present for
a lady bright, upon his arrival liere. A
hungry loafer, however, having spied the
melons onthe way up, opened tllfi‘-I11. and
having taken out all the juice and substance,
closed them in such a manner, as to conceal
his depredations. As soon as the boat ar-
rived the gentleman sent the melons to the
fair lady, but ohl mockery, nothing but the
rind was there l———St. Louis Bul. .

Ilfrs. Clinton and llfr. Van Burch.-A
correspondent of the Times, at Snratoga
Springs, gives the following account of a
severe rebuke Mr. Van Buren received on
his arrival, from the widow of the late Gov.
Clinton.

Having been fairly installed, he began to
play the courtier. After graciously giving
audience to some expectants, he saw at a short
distance, in the large public saloon, the widow
of the late Gov. Clinton. Instantly leaving
his company he rushed through the crow
with iinpressment to offer his hand.
lady drew herself up to one of her tirmest
and loftiest attitudes, and bent upon the wea-
zel courtier a countenance of disdain and
contempt, rejected the proffered hand, an
turned with indignation, as if from pollution
itself, from the man who had reviled and

ersecuted her husband during his life. This
indignant rebuke and “cut direct" did not
change the smile on hisimpertuitbable counte-
nance. He has not soul enough to feel it.
The lad wasfheard to say as she left the
room, " ——I speak to the —-— who )€-l‘St1-
ousted my husband to the day of his deaih 2' !”

Common ‘School Librarics.—-The law of
last session -places sit iuithin the ‘power of
every school district-in the state to establish
and maintain a common school library. We
hope that the -friends of schools will move.
early and.efiicientl-yin this matter. We are
behind our sister states in this movement, al-
though a son of Cotinecticut, .now one of the
most liberal and public apiiiited citizens of
another state, (Mr. James .VVadsworth, of
Genese,e,) was the first to originate the plan
of school libraries. By expending the
amount authorized for the first year, each
district may possess itself of a valuable col-
lection of books, which will scatter the bless-
ings, the advantages and pleasures of know-
ledge, broadly over society. The Board of
Commissioners of Common Schools, at their
late meeting, appointed a committee of their
number,_to devise the best plan to facilitate
the execution of the law, and realize the be-
nevolent purpose of the legislature. But in
the latitude now offered for selection, no dis-
trict should hesitate to make the appropria-
tion authorized, and thereby secure an untold
amount of good for allfuture time, to all the

Important from the Indian Counlrg/.-~
The St. Louis Republican publishes an ex-
tract of a letter received in that city, from a
gentleman residing at Fort Snel-ling, dated
July 10, by which we learn that war has
broken out between the Sioux and Chippe-
way tribes of Indians, and that great slaugh-
ter has been -made-ofthe latter.

A large number of the Chippewaytribe’
had assembled at Fort Snelling to receive
their annuities, and the events which follow-
_¢;i,,-related below, occurred a few days prior
to7-the date of the letter. The extract says:

ii“ The ,-Sioux and Chippcways have had a
brush at two different points on the St. Croix.
and again about-'.th_irt_y miles above the Falls
of St. Anthony. The Chippewaysyjust be-

came across a party of the Rum River Band,
attacked them about sunrise the next morn-

men, women and children. This was above
the falls. Big Thunder, a Sioux chief, cross-

Notwithstanding the Sioux killed thirty-six

_ A Goon IVIASTER.

VVlibt pariizan'bf Mr. Van Burcn ever
failed to get his pay, early or late, for servi-
ces rcndcred to “His Republican M.'ijesty,’r
as Bennett most appropriately terms the
present occupant of the Presidential chair?
The scripture adviseth men on this wise—-
“Make to yourselves friends of the innin-
inon of unrig'liteousiipss; that when ye fail
they may receive yotiriiito everlasting liabi-
tations." Ifa heretil: in’ all things else, Mr.
Van Burcu shows ‘hiriiself a Christian in
this iniittcr. For as soon as the people hap-
pen to leave one of his favorites in the lurch,
he takes him up, and there is no end to the
kindness which this “King of Democracy”
is ready to lavish upon the disinterested iii-
dividual.wlio has set at nought the will ofthe
maqny to propitiate the favor ofthe executive.
If the people will not continue to repose con-
fidence in the man who misrepresents them
in the councils of the 1iation—-—-if they will
not reelect him as often as he wishes to min-
ister to the ambitious views of a personal"
friend, and aid him in his attempts to place
his foot upon the neck of American liberty——
he stands ready to compensate him for all
the inortification which a political defeat in-
curs, and in spite of the lamentations of the
people, place him, beyond their reach, in an
otiice of profit, puichased at the sacrifice of

never has done, and never will do any thing
to commend himself to the approbation ol

States; and yet, he is such aicon: mmate mas--
terofthe springs of human action, (believing
most seriously, as we do, in the depravity of
human nature, and in none more dcvoutly
than in his own,) we entertain well
grounded fears that he will so manage as to
rc-elect /timse/fto the Presidency ofthe Uni-
ted States!

These have long‘ been our sentiments;
but our thoughts upon this subject have re-
ceived a new impulse from noticing the fol-
lowing announcement in the U. S. Gazette:

“ W'e understand Geo. M. Dallas, Esq.
tlinister to Russia, has obtained leave to re-
turn home, and is expected in this city in
September next, to resume his profession, in
which he has been so ably and so advan-
tageously known.

“ It is said Mr. Canibreling will succeed
Mr. Dallas as Minister .to the Court of St.
I’ctersburg.”

This is Mr. Van Buren’s policy——-and his
history has provcd it to be, for him, a very
safe policy. The niaifwhoin the people rd-
ject for preferring the interests ofthe Execu-
tive to their own-—-thatman is forthwith des-
tined to receive the highest and most lucra-
tive rewards withiii the gift of that same
Executive whom the people in defence of
their own dear bought liberties, have mark-
ed as a. traitor to the cause of Republicanism.
And yet, the adininistration presses have the
impuclence to land the Executive asa Demo-

of his reelection as Fedcralisls! “That

Common School .Journal.—-',l‘he friends of
common schools have been very impatiently
waiting for the _publication ofthe first num-

resting and useful work. It was issuedfroin
the press last week»; and probably, by this
time, is in the hands of its patrons, who will
duly appreciate its value after an attentive
and intelligent perusal of its contents. No
one who has acquainted himself with the
merits of this Journal will discontinue his
patronage on account of the advance in its
price. The terms on which it is now fur-
nished to subscribers, are barely sufficient to
sustain it, and even at one dollar a year, it
will require an extensive circulation in every
school district in the state to defray the ex-
penses of its publication-

Loco-Foco Democracy vs. Jeflc rsonian Dc-
;nocracy.—The Loco-Foco majority in the
Common Council of the city of N. York,
have removed Dow D. IVilliamson from the

unlimited, and so pure was his character, and
so admirable the manner in which he had
ever discharged the responsible duties of his
ofice. that hitherto no party had attempted
his removal. Indeed, the very Board who
removed him, passed the following resolu-
tion, at the very time when they were immo-
lating him as a victim upon the altar of L0-
co-Focoism :

“ Resolved, That the Common Council
entertain the highest respect for the integrity,
great industry, and close attention to the inte-
rests of the city, of Dow D. \Villiamson,
while Comptroller thereof." -

IVhy then was he removed? Because
"the party" to which a majority ofthe Com-
mon Council owed their elcction “demanded
his removal I”

Mr. Jefibrson, in his celebrated answer to
the New-Haven Rcmonstrance, said——“ For
the appointment to office, the only inquiry
should be, is be honest? Is be capable? Is
be faithful to the constitution? Such was
the Democracy of Jeflkrson.

Alderman Talmadge, who made the mo-
tion for Mr. Williar'nson’s removal, said, in
the course of his remarks upon that motion
“ I know he is capable, Iknow he is faithful,
and vjgilarit--but the party to which I be-
long calls for his removal--therefore I vote
for it.”

337-‘ The Loco-Foco Common Council of
the city of N. York, haviiig been compelled
to asklloans of the Banks, and refused ac-

this measure is adopted, it will sacrifice un-

5?’ A. A. Pcttengill, Esq. has purchas-
ed the Bridgeport Rcpublican, and commen-
ces his editorial career this week. Mr. P.
is a lively and caustic writer, and an ardent
VVhig; and although we have no “good will”
to bestow upon the Tories, we welcome him,
with our whole heart, to the VVhig Editorial
Fraternity.

T/te Elections in N. Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indiana, and Alabama took place
in the course of last week and the week pre-
vious. Partial returns from North Carolina
have been received, which render it almost
certain that the Whigs of that State have
gained one member of Congress. We shall
give the returns in full as soon as they are
received. Rhode Island votes on the 27th of
this month, and Maryland on the 1st of "Oc-
tober. Mississippi, in November, finishes
up the election for the 26th Congress. These
eight states elect 63 members of Congress,
and decide the political character of the next
House of Representatives.

 

The editor of the Norwalk Gazette offers
for sale the “types, press and good will” of
his office. We never knew that he had any
of that article before.——-N. Haven Register.

We are not surprised that the ,Loco-Foco

by Osborne & Baldwin, and edited: by‘—the_

to see thekicking and squirming of the“Loc'o’-

(is a-most wholesome and just law, exactly

such an one as is needed—a law-that will se-
‘cure legal and fair voting, it can not fail to
do this. The Loco-Focos, aware this will
be the operation of the Registry Law, com-
menced attacking it immediately on. its pas-
sage, and have cvcr since kept up it running
‘fire at it, until they h:ivc actually got them-
selves in a foam of rage. The idea of being
deprived of their accustomed f.u.-ilitii-s for
-cheating and siiiiiggling in votes, bv this
"niiconstitution-il enactment,” as l.lH..‘V are
plsased to call it, is too much for tlfein to
bear. Hence their clamor and opposition to
it. It is a “bitter pill” for them, we know,

'I‘i:i-:.\"ro.\', (N. .1.) August 2.

Camp l‘Vusli.i2i.g/on.. -We had quite an in‘-
tr-restiiig review of the U. S. Troops, at Cainp
\'Vashington, on S rtzirdny List The whole
force were in full uniform, under command
of Brig. Gen. Eustis, and made a fine dis-
play. After the preliminaries ofthe review,
the whole troops paraded very handsomely
and went through many evolutions much to
the satisfaction of a very numerous concourse
of spectators. The appropriate airs,_ per-
formed by the two Brass Bands, were splen-
did, and inspired even the most pacific, with
a. burning for military honors.- The review
lasted about 3 hours, and was_ decidedlyf the
best parade that has taken place since‘ the
encampment. .

 

 

Abominable —-Gilman Appleby, captain of
the steamboat Constitution, plying on Lake
Erie, has been arrested and fully committed,
at Buffalo, for an infernal outrage on a young.
girl of 15 who was a passenger on his boat.
She was on her way from Detroitvto her
-friends in Ontario County, and being poor,
had taken a stecrage or deck passage. The‘
monster who commanded the boat," pretend-,
ing that there was no place fitfor‘ her in ‘the,
steeragc, offered to show her toa more suita-
ble apartment, when he took -herto hisown,
room, locked it, and committed the outrage
for which_ he ‘ought Ito suffer'the-severest
penalties of the law.- -. 
The Buffalo papers state that Mr. Justice
Barton (we like to give the na‘m’es,_of~such
Iwnorable gentlemen in full) 'co‘nduct‘éd"'the
examination in such a manJner’asJn_ttrro\t'ly
to escape lynching from thegreat’ coqcoigrse

commenced early in the morning; and, al-
thoughabundant testimony ‘was ‘elicited in
‘one hour to warrant the commitment of the"
villain, the poor girl was kept on the stand,

"good will” to dispose of. Towards tliosi:
