But it became known to her in good time,
and to Storer also. For one day when the
woods were in their summer freshness and
‘beauty, Harry said to his wife and mother,
I expect my old friend, I-..yon Gardiner
he_re tomorrow or next day with his new
wife. You did not see him when he was at
the ‘clearing a few months ago, but he is
coming to live among us.’
And when the next day came,and brought
with it a tall:, fine looking man, and a deli-
cate, lovely woman ; they, to their great joy
found that Lyon Gardiner had bronchi,
back to them Emily Moreland as his wedded
wife. .
Bad-TIZ’l:/(Ill Sen$l'flL£nl.—Jr)hn C, Vvhiuier,
the ‘Quaker Poet, in writing about Irish
Einrgraats among us says ,-_.
“For myself, I confess I feel sympathy
for, the Irishman. I see him as the represen-
tative of a generous, warm hearted and cruel-
ly oppressed people. That he loves his na-
tivc lund—that his patriotism is divided ; that
he cannot forget the claims of his mother is-
land; that his religion with all its abuses is
near to him; does not decrease my estimation
of him. A stranger in a strange land, he is
to me an object of interest The poorest and
rudest has a romance in his history. Amidst
all his apparent gaiety of heart and national
drollery, and wit, the poor emigrant has sad
thoughts of the “ ould mother of him,” sitting
lonely in her solitary cabin by the bog side ,
recollections ofa fathers blessing and a sister’s
farewell—th-at sister loved so devotedly; are
haunting him ; a grave mound in a distant
church-yard, far beyond the “ wide wathers,”
has an eternal greenness in his memory; for
there, perhaps, lrcs“a darlint child,” or a
“sweet crather,” who once loved him ; the
New World is entirely forgotten for the mo-
merit, blue Killarney and the Liffy sparkle
before him; Glendalough stretches beneath
him its dark still mirror; he sees the same
evening sunshine rest upon and hallowed
alike with nature's blessing the ruins of the
Seven Churches of Ireland's apostolic age,
the broken mound of the Druids, and the
round towers of the Phoenician sun wor-
shippers, beautiful and mournful recollec-
tions of home awaken within him ; and
the rough and seemingly careless and light
hearted laborer melts into tears. It
is no light thing to abandon one’s own couri-
try and liouseliold gods. Touchinglybcau-
tiful was the injunction of the Prophet of the
Hebrews. ‘ Ye shall not oppress the stran-
ger, for ye know not the heart of the stran-
ger, seeing that ye were strangers in the land
of Egypt.’ ”
A Tmge(lian’s Dcfvn.ce.—Ari itinerant
player,possesserl of more wit than money,“ as,
a short time ago, driven by the hard master,
hunger, to commit the high critne ofrobbing
hen-roosts in the niegbborhood of Birniing-
ham, and being rinlrrckily detected in the
act, was carried forthwith br‘-fore a bench of
magistratces when the offence was fully
proved. 'l'he knight of the biiskin however
being called upon for his defence, astonished
the learned jllSl.lCf-‘-S by adopting Brutus’
speech to the Romans on the death of Caesar
to his case,in the follrviug manner: Britons,
hungry epicuresl hear me for my cause, and
be silent that you may hear; believe me for
my honor, and have respect for my honor,
that you may believe ;censnre me in your
wisdom, and awake your senses that you
may betterjudge. If there be any in this
assembly, any dear friend to this departed
rooster, to him I say that a player's love for
poultry is no less than liis—if then that friend
demand why a player rose against a rooster,
this is my answer; not that I loved the roos-
ter less, but that I loved eating more. Had
you rather this rooster were living and 1 had
died starving, than that this rooster were
dead that I might live a jolly fellow? As
the rooster was pretty, I weep for him ; as he
was nimble, I rejoice at it; as he was pluriip
I honor him ; birt as be was eatable, l slew
him.” Here the gravity of the corirt was
obliged to give way; prosecutors and all burst
into a fit of laughter at the ready wit display
ed by the “ poor actor.” The information
was withdrawn, and the knight of the sock
and buskin left the court with pockets much
heavier than when he entered it,wir.h the in-
tention of appearing on the stage the same
evening in an “ entirely new character.”
Bosrox. \Ve-zlnesdary, March 5
The citizens of the town of Marshfield, the
place of Daniel Webstcr’s i'e:-idence, adopted
at their late town meeting, held day before
yesterday, March 3, a preamble and sr-ries of
resolutions, by a vote of I20 to 34, pro-
nouncing the Fugitive Slave act unconstitu-
tional. They say it is so in that provision
of the coiistitutiou it violates among others,
that which declares that no bill of attendcr
or re: post faclo law shall be passed;
that which declares that no man shall be de-
prived of life or liberty without due process
of law; and that men charged with crime
or whose interests are at stake in suits at
coriimon law involving a sum equal to $20
shall be entitlr-d to trial by Jury. Further,
they declare that this act is utterly repugnant
to otir moral sensr-,a disgrace to the civiliza-
tion ofthe age, and clearly at variance with
the whole spirit of the christian faith.
The resolutions are very strong. They
maintain that until we are prepared to re-
pudiate the principles of the Declaration of
Independence and abjure all idea of justice
and humanity, we can render no voluntary
obedence to this act. The second resolution
is a_s follows:
Resol -ed, that while we love and defend
the Union that secures the subject flir which
this was said to be establish, we are not to be
deterred by any threats of dr.-union, or by
any fear of evils, immediate or remote, pres-
eiitor future, from using all just and lawful
means to aid and assist those who have the
tnanliness and courage to escape from the
prison house of bondage.
The third and fourth declare that while they
desire liberty fog themselves, and retain a
spark of the sprite which led the Pilgrims
across the Ocean, while they remember the
golden rule and recognise the obbligations of
charity, and love, and good will. their homes
shall be open to welcome the hunted fugitive
as he passes their doors, in his flight from
the national blood-hounds who are haying on
his truck. I
They (‘Ofi1t_Pn(I to every fugitive from
Slavery the ,t__i{forious sentiment of Patrick
Henry—“ Give me liberty or give me
death.”
The preamble and resolutions were order-
cd to be entered upon the public official re-
cords of the town.
(;@- A clerk in the New York Post Office
has confessed the crime of robbing tr letter of
$6,000 worth of Unites States Bonds, in Jan-

Arrest of Eighty-Six Gamblers at
Boston.
The Boston Cou.-rier of Monday says that a
grand haul was made by the police of that
City on Satudday night, 'l‘he gfiiiccrg, sub-
divided into thirteen detachments each de-
tachment under the command of a trusty offi-
cer, made a simultaneous descent upon thir-
tecu of the mosfnotorious of the gaming cs-
tablislimcrits of this city, and succeeded in
capturing eighty-six of the “players,” anil
seizing upon several lots of gaming utensils,
of various shapes, valued at upward of two
thousand dollars. The arrangementfor the
onset were planned by Marshal Tukcy, and
they were carried out in a nranner eviricirig
great courage and discipline by his men —
The officers who executed the Marshal’s or-
dcrs on this occasion were unconscious oftlie
precise service they were to pr_erform, until a
few moments prior to the “invasion.” They
were srimmonud to meet at eight o’clock, and
were then informed of the expedition in hand
Secresy was half the battle. The mode of
manacling the captives smacks of military
genius, at any rate was qriite efr"ectivc.
The gambling houses “stormed” on this
nocturnal canipaigiiwere thus situated: Four
of them in Suu'btiry-street, rlirce in Vlfaslriiig
ton-street, two in Congrcss street, two in Han-
over-strect, one in Boylston-street, (rear
of No.14) and one in Monrgoiiiery-pl;ice.—
These premises were surrounded, and all
the avenues of escape beset by the police.
The ofificcrs in command of the various de-
tachmcnts then eiitei'etl the aparruierits occu-
pied by the garnblt-r's, and after stating the
nature oftlrcir business, and assuring the as-
tonished gentlruir-n of the impossibility
of escape, requested all present, principals
and accessories, to surrender, which most
oftliem did without further alo. One ortwo
endeavored to escape, tlirnugh winrlow.-', but
they were captured imrnediatcly by the sm-
tincls outside In one house in Sudbriry-s.t.,
No. 28, 35 individuals were captured, and
in arrotlrcr est-ablishrtient in the same street
28 more‘.
The prisoners, wbcrr collected, made quite
a caravan. They were manaclerl in couples
with haad cuffs welded (three. feet apart) to
chains; an:l thus marched in “sol-inn pa-
geant”—twenty six to :i chain—-ro l_.iverett-
st piil. It would be impo.-srblo to specify
all the modes in wliich these unfortunate
gentlemen were I.-auglit brcakiiig the laws.
Some were shaking "" props.” S0tIlL' throwing
dice, some shuffling cards, some atfaro, sonic
at pitch-penny, etc. ctr-., accortling to the
taste of the indit-idir-.ils.
The (}'om7non.trr'zz.lllt says that the persons
arrested i‘€‘])l‘C‘St’l')l all classes of society, fiotri
the business men of Stare-street down to
the int-anest Ann-street gairibler. They
gave the officers names, but not tlir-ir right
cries. \Vbat is ino-t iascrrlly, some of them
used the. name of some of the most ester-mr=d
citizcns of Boston. One of the men wlrcn
about being put into the cell, started back,
declaring that he never‘ slept in such it place
in his lifc, and must be r.t:cu.<crl from doing:
so. He was prcssed into service, with the
privil= go to remain awake! Another of the
tender‘ in rved gcrrrleinen said he should «lie
to stay’ all niglrt in such a place. 'l he oili-
cer told him if he did, he should be bUl‘it'(l
the very first thiiig in the niorriing! The
Slflllllll1Il'3f)uSl'()al‘ of about ei_;__rhty of his coni-
rads caused‘ the delicate g£‘l]ll('lfl(.‘ll to suc-
cumb.
A variety of gambling 11’.r-‘Dslle were taken
with these operators and were to bu secrr at
the lVlarsliall’s office yesterday. The Illiril
says there are in the ll.~I of the arr:-;-ter,l the
nziriies of four n-_ tori..us tlreivc.-, two bank
officers, one irott-l keeper, thrce brr lie-rs. irvo
-Jill‘ ti.?iVt=Is, one error, four or five who are
put down in the dirt-ctory as “traders,” one
butter dealt-r, five printers.
On Sunday the C ty Marshall, not under-
stan ling why no arrest was l‘llil.:lL‘. on Satur-
day evening at El certain gainbliiig ll0l1:L‘,
took occasion, about 4 o’clork P. M , to drop
into No. 2 Burnstead-place, where he found
a dozen or fiftocrr uteri playing cards, and
piles of money lying on the table. Being
alone, he did not attempt to arrest, but drovr:
them out of a ivindr-.w sortie ciglrtccri fert
from the ground, and took their cards, dice-
box, dominoes, and a new and significant
implernent. of gainbling, called “ A snake in
the wuss."
Two coats were loft in the. room. which
were carried to the M rrshall’s office, for

Our (‘ongres‘.ionn[- Nomination.
It will be seen that the Congressional Con-
vention for this District, which me-tat Brook-
field last week, nominated for re-election to
Congress our present able and popular Rep-
resentative, the HON. 'l‘iiozrAs B BUTLI.-JR.
Much as we should be gratified under other
circumstances, to see a merriber from our own
corinty representing us in the councils of the
nation, we cannot but express our gratifica-
troii at the results of the deliberations of the
Convention. The patriotism ability, anrl fi-
dr.-lity with which he has performed the du-
tics ofthe high and responsible station for
two years, have rendered him a favorite
tliroughoutthe district. We do not believe
he will losen single whig vote in Litciificld
county. His course has been conciliating
and conscrvative——avording alike the base
subserviency and dishonesty of sortie of his
dough faced colleagues, as the worse than
uselcss “agitating policy,” of Gitldings and
Tuck. The period enrbracr.-.d in his official
term, which closed on the 4th of March, was
one of unusual excitement in and otit of
Cotigre.<s, occasioned by the coriflicting inter-
ests of the North and South-—an cxr'itei'ncrit

The ‘.2d session of the 31st Corigress is now
iii an orrd——tlre tiieiirliers liave deported, and
\Vasliingtori is again as quiet as o'd Fa rfield.
Among the bills passed were the Civil and
>Dl]3lt)ltlElllC Appi'opi'irt:iori bill, the Army Ap-
propiinliori bill. the Navy .-\ppr'opi'i:rliorr bill.
the bill reducing the Rates of I’ost;rgr-, the Post

Post. Offices nird Post: Routes, and the bill
making Appi-opi'iiitions for Light I-lotrses. The
FlHl(:ll Spoliriliorr bill. the River‘ rind Harbor
Ap|)r()|)|'i:lll()ll bill. the Joint R esolution uiziltirig
the new Land \Vai'i'ants assigiiable. the Joint
Resolutions annulling Mr. 'illClll8'S Printing
Coiitract. and the Resoliitiuii creatirrg the
grade of Lieutenant-Gcnei'a| in the Army,
were rlefezrted. The Senate, liowever, lras
now :1 relief bill tinder consideratiori to reintr-
nerato Fartlier Ritchie, to the extent of the
Seiirite’s portion of the printing, which it. is
now thought will pass. Among the things
overlooked or staved off by Congress, was to
provide for the printing of the census for 1850.
No provision having been made for it, we shrill
not. have it priritetl till 1851!.
The amendmetrt to the Navy
bill, iricrezising the compensation of the Collins’
Line of Steamers for r:ni'i'yiiig the Mails be-
tween I\'ew-York and Liverpool, was losr.—
The Appropriation for Novel \Vot‘lis in New
York, were increased $50,000. The land war-
rant Resolution was also defetited.
By proci°astirintion several iniportant bills
were rlefeated; and it was, for it time. seriously

quired to carry on tho Guvei'nriient wouitl fail

continued in session during the whole of the
riiglitof lhetliirtl, and up to twelve o'clock of
the fourth instant. and flirts succeded in passing
those bills nclurrlly necessary. Had gr-enter
