" Act for Forming and Conducting the
Military Force,” passed May session
1854, on or before the fifteenth day of
October in each year.
SEC. 9. It shall be the duty of the as-
sessors of the several towns, annually,
at the time of assessing the taxable prop-
erty of their several towns, and in the
same list, to assess ubon all able-bodied
white male citizens, between the ages
of twenty-one and forty-five yaars, resi-
ding in their respective towns, excep
members of the active militia, and per-
sons by law exempted from miilitary
duty a tax of fifty cents each ; distinguish-
ing said tax in the assessment, as a tax
in commutation of military duty ; and
said tax shall be collected at the same
time and in the same manner as is by
law provided for the collection of town
taxes; and no person shall be so assessed
as an able bodied niau, who is known
to have any disability wliicli' would in-
capacitate him for the performance of
military duty, such as metal imbecility,
great deformity of body or limb, per-
manent lameness, loss an eye, blindness
total or partial deafness, epilepsy, hernia
loss of a "thumb or finger, permanent
feebleness of body or limb or other man-
ifest disability.
Si«:c.I0. any person claiming to be ag-
grieved by the doings of the assessors of
any town, in assessing _upon _him a tax
in commutation of military duty, may
make his appeal to the board of relief
of such town, at any of its meetings held
for the purpose of hearing appeals,
which board shall bear and determine
all such appeals, and may abate such
assessment,~and may add the said com-
mutation tax to the list 'of any person
upon whom the assessors have, omitted
to assess the same ; and may add to the
assessment list the name of any person
whom they shall find liable by law to pay
the said cmmutation tax,‘ whose name
may have been omitted from such list by
the assessors, and may assess upon such
person the said commutation tax. " But
before proceeding to add to the list of
any person the said. commutation tax,
or to add to the assessment list the name
of any person omitted by the assessors.
- they shall leave with such person, or at
his usual place of abode, a written no-
tice, at least two days before increasing
-his list or adding his name to the list, to
. appearbefbre said board, and show cause
. if any he have,,why increase or addition
should bo made. . ,
SEO. 11 Itshall be the the duty of the
adjutant general to cause _so much of
. the militia laws as are not inconsistant
with this act, together with this act,
also such explanations as he may deem
to be printed in pamphlet form, and to
distribute one. copy of the same to each
commissioned officer of the militia, at
the expense of the State.
Sec. 12 The second, third fourth and
fifth sections of “ An Act for Forming
Conducting the Military Force,” ab-
proved July 1st, 1854, and the first sec-
ion an act, entitled “ An Act in addi-
tion to and in alteration of an act for
Farming and Conducting the Military
Force approved J une 29, 1855 and all
other acts and -parts of acts inconsistent
with this act, are hereby repealed.
Approved, June 28, 1856.
Land Warrants.
To-quote Land Warrants would be,
we fear, leading the public astray, for
until Congress is through with its dona-
tions to railroads. no safe price can Vbe
made; in the meantime, in buying, we
shall be governed by the demand and
supply. .
We have ascertained that lands are to
be granted to all the following States for
railroad purposes;
Iowa, 3,000,000 acres.
Wisconsin, 2,000,000 acres.
Michigan, 2,000,000 acres.
Minnesota, 2,500,000 acres.
Arkansas, 4,000,000 acres.
Florida, 1,500,000 acres.
Alabama,‘4,000,000 acres.
Iloifisiana, 1.500.000 acres
Missouri, 1, 500,000 acres
' The acts for the first named five States
have been signed by the President-
Luisiana has passed both houses of Con-
gress, and Minnesota, Arkansas and
‘Missouri, are to pass. The total amount
of the lands given to railroads will not
«vary much from twentyfive -Millions of
acres.
The roads take every other section for
six miles each side of the line of the road
and whereland has been pre-empted or
snteted within the six miles, then the
mad can select alternate sections any-
where within fifteen miles of the line of
the road, until it gets a‘ quantity in the
aggregate equal to what it would have
been had no entry or pre-emptions been
made on the six miles. The land re-
'.served to the government within six
miles doubled in] price. These grants
necessarily shut up all the principle land
-oflices in the above States for a year or
“two; this has caused the great decline
in warrants. When the offices ‘open,
the government’s alternate sections are
to be offered at auction, under a limit of
952,50 per acre, cash ; after which, what
is not sold, can be entered with one half
tvarratits a_i;id one half cash.

There is a revolution in Spain.~ The

It is stated that Mr. Dallas is empower-
ed W Pl’°l}0Se t_o the British government
the establishment of Sen J uan as 3 free

serving to the republic of Costa Rica
the right of trafiic through it, and through
such portions of the river San Juan as
may be necessary, the Mosquito Indi-

of the river San Juan andlthe town ;but
their rights tobe guaranteed, and an an-
nuaity foréterm paid to their chiefs ; the
Bay Islands to be restored to the "state
of Honduras, but Belize to remain a
British possession with the same terri-
torial limits as in 1850.
In reference to this the London Times
remarks as follows :
- “That we lose anything material by
such an arrangement no one can believe ‘-
but still the arrangement, should be
clearly understood to be a comprmise,
in which this country does not give up
its construction of the treaty, but only
makes concessions corresponding to those
of the American goverment, in abandon-
ing its own extremeviews.
“ A fifth point in the "proposal of Mr.
Dallas is that the Central American
States shall make grants similar to that
proposed by Honduras, respecting any
nication between the two oceans, If
the consent of these republics can be ob-
tained to such an arrangement, it will
no doubt, be a great advantage to the
cause of civilization, and cause, us less
to regret the temporary differences which
shall end in such a result.”
Robbery at an Empress 0fice—,-$2000
in Gold and a. $5,000 Package of Bills
StoleM.— Capture iftlte Thiefrmd Prop-
erty.-— On Monday last Bradely S. Os-
born, a young man employed in the ex-
press office of Wells, Fargo &Co., clan.
destinely left that establishment. He
was soon missed, and it was discovered
that two bags of gold, containing each
$1,000, had disappeared, and as these
bags were seen just before, and missed‘
just after the sudden departure of Os-
born, it was at once suspected that he
had taken ‘them.
Cap. Wm. Stokely, formerly of the
police depatment, but now of the “ In-
dependent Police,” was applied to, and
immediately started in persuit of the
fugitive. He learned that Osborn left
for Philadelphia on the 11 o'clock train,
and he at once started for that city. He
found that he had been there, and stop
ped at several hotels, anteriug a different
name at each, but the h_and-writing on
the books was easily detected. From
Philadelphia be traced him to Washing-
ton, Del., and learned that he had been
through that place on his way to Balti-
more, but had returned that day to Phil-
adelphia. He was represented, as being
armed with a Colt’s revolver and a huge
bow_ie knife. ‘
Cap. Stokely, and the man with him,’
immediately returned to Philadelphia,
and found that Osborn had put up at
the Girard House early that (Thursday) "
morning—had taken a room, but soon
left and had not been seen since. Itap-
peared, however, that he expected his
wife to meet him that night, and there
was but little doubt that he would return
at night. .
Accordingly, Mr W. E. Bissell, an
officer from Norwalk, Conn., was placed
in his room, and in the night Osborn re.
turned. He expected to find his wife
awaiting him, but instead of this he
found himself in the hands of the officer,
and was arrested without offering any
resistance. $1,780 of the gold has been
found in his possession—-also a package
of bank bills marked " $5,000,” This
package had not been missed‘ but he
said he stole it from the safe. The bills,
however,‘ were worthless; though he
was not aware of this fact when he stole
them. The remainder of the gold, 3220,
had been expended for clothes and trav-
eling expenses. He did not deny the
theft, but owned at once that he was
guilty, He was brought before Justice
Conuoly this morning‘, and held to an-
swer for the oflence.
N. Y. Evening Post.
15§*The above is all avery fine account of
the affair, only the credit of the rogue’s]cap- '
rest is due entirely to Wm. E. Bissell of this
town, instead of Capt. Stokeley, who was
several miles from Philadelphia at the time of
his arrest. It appears that the youngculprit
was a temporary resident at South Norwalk,
and ofiicer Bissell was early put on . track for
him, and after ferreting out his whereebouts,
and fearing that he could not reach New York
in time to take the Philadelphia train, he tel-
egraphed the company, that he had learned
his place of rendezvous, and for them to send
an officer in advance of him. Capt. Stokely
was thus sent, but failed in the capture,which
was effected by the perseverance and caution
of Mr. Bissell, who by the way is getting to he
as great a terror to evil doers as the immortal
Hayes. On the return of Mr. B. with the -
prisoner and the “rocks,” he received not only
stheatres, church pews, opera boxes’, &.c.;
The morlus operrmdi we cannot’ explain
shut since the French Bishop ’ reminded
‘his fair flock that the gates of Paradise
were narrow, the pious modisles of Par-
is ‘have set their wits to work to find a
substitute for the unyielding whalebone.
VVe hope they have succeeded.

The Dog Noble and V the Empty
Hole. »
Tliellfirst summer which we spent in
Lenox, we had along a very intelligent
dog named Noble. He was learned in
many things, and by liis_dog.lore excited
the undying admiration of all -the child-
ren. But there were some things which
Noble could never learn. Having on
one occasion seen a red squirrel run into
a hole in a“ stone wall he could not be
persuaded that he was not there for ev-
ermore. »
. Several red squirrels lived ; close to
the houseiand had-become familiar but
not tame. They kept up a regular
romp with Noble, They would come
down from the maple trees with provo-
king coolness: they would run along
the fence almost _ within _ reach, they
would cook. their tails and sail across
the road to the barn ; and yet there was
such a ‘well-timed ' calculation " under all‘
this apparent rashuess, that'Noble ar-
rived at the critical spot just as the
squirrel left it. ” 4 ' ‘
On one occasion Noble_ , was so close’
upon his red-backed friendVth'a_t, unable
to getup the maple ‘tree, hej dodged into
a hole in the wall, "ran "through the
chinks, emerged at a littledistance, and
sprung into the tree. Tflé V intense en-
thusiasm of the dog at ’ that hole can
hardly be described._ He filled it full of
barking. He pawed and scratched as
if undermining a‘ bastion. Standing off
at a little distance he.would ' pierce the
hole with a gaze as intense and fixed as '
if he were trying’ magnetism on it.--
Then, with tai_l extended, and every hair
thereon electrified, he would rush at the
empty hole with a prodigious onslaught
Tfiis imaginary squirrelV haunted No‘-
ble night and day. The very squirrel
himself would run up before his face in-
to the tree, and crouched ina” crotch,
would sit silently watching the whole
process of bombarding the empty hole,
with great sobriety and relish. ‘But No-
blewould allow of no doubts. His con-
viction that that hole‘ had a squirrel. in
it continued unshaken for six "weeks.-
When all other occupations” failed. this
hole remained to ' him." When ‘there
were no more ‘chickens to" hurry, no
pigs to bite, no cattle. to‘ chase, _no chil-
dren to ramp *with, no ' expeditions .to
make with the grown folks, and when
he had slept all that his dog-skin would
hold, he would walk out of’t_he ‘yard,
yawn and stretch himself, and then look
wistfully at the .hole, as if thinking-to.
himself, "Well, as there is nothing else
to do I may as Igwell try that hole again.”
We had almost forgotten this little
trait, until the conduct of the New .-York
Express, in respect to Col. Fremont’s
religion brought it ludicrously to mind
again. _Col. Fremont is and always has
been, as sound a Protestant as John
Knox everlwas. He was bred in the
Protestant faith and has never changed.
He is unacquaiijted with the doctrines
and ceremonies of the Catholic Church,
and has never attended‘th'e. services of
that Church, with two "or. three ‘excep-
tions, when curiosity, or some extrinsic
reason, ledhim as a’ w'it'n_ess.
not state this upon vague belief, We
know what we say. ' We say it upon
our own personal honor and proper
knowledge’. f Col. Fremont never was,
and is not now n‘Roma.n. Catltolic. He
has V never been _ wont to_ attend that
Churcli..,Nor'.has he irifany way, di-
rectly orlindirectly, given . occasion for-
this report. _ _ ,
It is a gratuitous falsehood, utter, bar-
ren, absolute, and’ unqualified.‘ The
story has been got_up for political effect.
It is still circulated for that reason, and
like otherlpolitical lies, it is a sheer, un-
scrupulous falsehood, fiom top to bot-
tom, from the core to the skin, and from
the skin back to the core again. In all
its parts, in pulp, tegument, rind, cell
and seed, it is a thorough and total un-
truth, and they who spread it bear false
witness. And as to all the stories of
the Fulmer, etc., as to supposed conver-
stations, with Fro.-mont,'i_,ii which be de-
fended the mass, and what not, they are
pure fictions. They never happened.
The authors of them are slsnderers;
the men to believe them are dupes;
the men who spread them become en-
dorsers of wilful and corrupt libellers.
' But the Express, like Noble, has
opened on this hole in the wall, and
can never be done barking atVit., Day
after day it resorts'to_ this empty hole._
. When everything elseifails this resource
remains. There they are, iudefatigably
.—the Express and Noble—a church
without a_ Fremont, and a hole without
a squirrel in it! , V
. In some respects, however, the , dog
-had”. the '-_a_dv,antage,. Sometimes we
though,t.that- he r,eVal.Iy believed that there
was a squirrel there. But. at other times‘
he apparently had an inkling of the ri-
diculousness of his conduct, for he would
drop his tail, and walk towards us with
his tongue out and his eyes a little aslant
seeming to say,V"My dear sir, you d_on’t
understand adog’s feelings. , Ishould of
course much prefer a squirrel, but if I
can’t have that, an empty hole is better
than nothing. I imagine how I would
catch him’ if he was there. Besides
people who pass by don’t‘ know the facts
They thinkvthat I have gotsomething.
It is needful to keep up ’my reputation
for sagacity. Besides, to tell the truth.
I have looked into that hole so long that
I have half persuaded myself that there
is a squirrel there, or will be,'if 1 keep
on.” ‘
Well, every‘dog must have his day,
and every dog must have his way. No
doubt‘if we were to bring back Noble
now, after two snmm'er’s absence, he
would make straight, for that hole in the
wall with’ just as muchzeal as ever. A
We never read the Express, now-a-
days, witliout thinking involuntarily,
‘Goodness! the dog’ is'leV'ttiV'ng’ off at
that hole again! ‘ ‘ '1 ‘

last week. .. _ .
‘ The regular delegates in attendance on the
Conventions numbered over nine hundred and
fifty, and an equal number of substitutes were
present. _
Hon. Hsivnx DUTTON was President of th -
American Convention, with L. G. Goodrich,
Walter Booth, William T. "Crow, N. B. Smith,
David Gallup, Hiram Welles, L. 'J.- Hendee
and William Fowler as _VicejP_resid'ents, and
o.,rI. Platt and E. s. Butler, as Secretaries. -
The ‘Committee on Presidential Electors was
the following: W. J. _Goodsell, Hartford Co~

. - The result was. that in both Conventions,
the Ticket which we have given above, was
reported,- and adopted by acclsmation. There
was an entire unanimity of opinion in -regal-d
to the Ticket, as representing fairly the Amer-
ican and Republican sentiment of our State,
and there was further a "determination that
the Ticket should be elected. .
Mr. Ferry of Norwalk was called ‘ upon to
make a few remarks. until the several com-
mittees were prepared to report. ' ._
He spoke of the character of Fmtitoivr as
beinggenerous, _iioble,who1e-sonled. He said
that Fremont knew the evils arising from
slavery —he had lived amongst them, and his

in the way of this; no - personal feelings, no

Addresses were also made by Hon. Messrs.
Foster, Dutton, Harrison, J. Adams, H. T.

immense gathering at the Fremont Camp,
where Speeches were made by Messrs. Brew-
ster, of Boston, and Spalding o\f Ohio. This
Camp, (so cslled,l was built by the Hartford
Fremonters for their meetings. It will seat
3000 persons. It was thronged, and out doc;
meetings were also organized. The union so
happily effected during the day, was regarded
as a. certain promise of success, and the enthu-
siasm ranged as high as in the days of 1840.
' w,_We have received acominunication from
South Norwalk severely commenting upon the
strictures of our last - weeks’ correspondent
concerning roads, &o.,_ which ‘we hadiutended
to publish, but, having been ‘.‘ short handed”
all the week, in consequence of the absconding
of one of our lads vvhotook it into his hcadlto
oamose, we find, ourselves ‘compelled at the
last moment to give it the go-by. We are sq-
. isfied however that nothing but evil could grow
out of its publication. It wrong was done ~.by_
the first article, this will but makh the matter
worse. Then again we are confident that not
the least allusion to the author was intended,
although written in an unguarded manner.-
We sincerely regret that any semblance of in-
justice has._been done aiiyoue, and have the
charity.to,be_lieve that our Reporterwaa actu-
ated by a sincere desire to subservelhe public
Interests, and yet may have been betrayed llllo
an unintentional and injudicious onslaught
upon those not guilty. We think the public
goodwill be greatly promoted by the action
of the Special’ Meeting, yet regret that any
one should have given the strictures a section-_

There was it grand rally of‘ the ' friends of
Fremont and Freedom at Phoenix Hall, on
Friday evening last. Considerable effort
seems to have been put forth to circulate the
rumor that our Speaker would not be pres-
ent, and many were kept away in conse
quence. Notwithstanding the Hall was filled.
and those who were induced to stay away by
these stories-of the ‘enemy, certainly consul-
ted their physical comfort, if they did lose a.
rich intellectual treat. At the opening of
-the meeting, and the reading of the names of
the ofiicérs,'the'no.nie of Mr. Guthrie appear-
ing among the Vice Presidents, he rose, and
in a neat and telling speech stated his former
connections with the Democratic party. his
love of democracy, &c., but that slavery and
Democracy were antagonistic terms, that a
party whose sole platform was Slavery Ez-
tensionc_oul_d not be deinocra-tic, and while
still claiming to be a. true democrat, he could
have no part or action with the sham democ-
racy of the present day. He loved Democra-
cy and be loved -F5-e¢dom,*but he hated Slave-
ry in all its forms, and he listed a Slaveocra-
cy in -a Republican A government, to. His
speech was pointed,‘ chaste and eloquent, and
was listened to with the greatest interest and
attention, and loudly applauded at its close.
The influence of one such true man will tell
-for. the Eight. -At its close Hon. A Oakey
Hall was called to the platform and enchained
the audience for nearly two hours in one of
the most thorough and convincing arguments
.in_ favorof free meVu,V free speech, and Fre-
mont, we have yet heard. He gave a rapid
review of the politics of the country from the
days of Adams and, Jefferson down- to the
present time, and traced the demands and ag-
gressions made upon free labor and free terri-
tory by the Deliltih of Slavery. His address
abounded with ‘ logical arguments and co-
gent reasonings, and will not soon be forgot-
ten by hi__s large auditory. ' The severe thun-
der storm which arose just‘ before its close,
had a tendency to ,_ disturb some {who had
walked a distance. ‘But one converted Dem-
ocrat who hadwalked four‘ miles to‘ hear.Mr
H., assured us that he was well paid for his
exertions, although he did notreacli home till
after 12, and well drenched at that. The
meeting adjourned to Wednesday evening the
20th inst.
Re-Opening at St. Mary’s.
The exercises at the re-opening services of
_St. Mary’s Church oVn_Sun_dayV last were of
an _exceeVdi_nglyV interesting character. The
perforinanceslof the Choir were highly credi-
table to all concerned. Mr. J. Hess'ion presi-
ded at the organ, in a manner which stamped
him as a first class performer ; Mrs. . Hessian
-who has a voice of remarkable power and
sweetness,.as Soprano ;.Madam Gonzales, a
vocalist of superior merit, as Alto ;Signor R.
and Carolo Gonzales as Basso, and Tenor;
and a Miss Dunn, a young lady possessing a
soft, melodious voice, constituted the orches-'
tral troupe, and rarely, if ever, has a finer
musical repast been furnished the citizens of
this meridian. ‘ " - ‘
The ininistrations before the altar’ were
two priests from abroad, who also administered
the Sacrament of the Eucharist. I The sermon
was preachediby Rev. Hugh T. Brady of New
York, which was an unafiected ofi‘-hand ad-
dress, showing the speaker to he a gentleman
of education, and indicating ability and zeal
in the cause of his church. The parts of his
discourse were 1st, The unity of the Roman
Catholic Church; 2d, Its Purity ; 3d, Its Ca-
tholicity or universality; ,4th,. Its Apostolici-
ty. Our protestant faith was not shaken by
his deductions, yet we - were not prepared
either for the sentiments of candor and libe-
rality towards dissenting denominations, or
the talent and research evinced by the Dis-
course. A discourse was preached by the same
gentleman again in the evening, which we
did not hear. The receipts on the occasion
must have been quite equal to the pastor-’s
most sanguine expectations, as the house was
crowded to its utmost capacity, comprising a
large number from Protestant denominations.
The society has now ‘a fine and ‘commodious
house of worship, and seems in a flourishing
condition, which I may be attributed to the,
popularity and zealous efibrts of Father
O’Reiley.
3- The heavy mine of the past week were
very opportune, in ‘all ' respects. Although
the unrepaired roads have been sadly washed
(much more tlianthey would have been ‘had
‘they been worked at the proper time, and the
ptupnwaters renewed,) yet the earth has been
so thoroughly moistened that it will now be
very easv top the Superintendent to carry out
-at once, the vote of the late special Town
Meeting. The friends of good roads, of the
Superintendent, and of the phblic prosperity,
_look to him for a faithful and energetic per-
formance of his duty. There should be at
None can afford to wait. ,
It is reported that the Turnpike Company
have concluded to abandon their road. This
is right. It has been evident for a long time,
ihat their receipts were not sumcient to keep
the road in repair, a that it was for the interest‘
of the town to take the road before it had run
down so far that the cost of repair‘ would be
about equal to the cost‘ of construction.
' In justice to the Director who resides here
it should be stated that he has advocated this
course for a long time, as might be expected
from his known public spirit. This has been
well understood,’ and the strictures of our
correspondent last week, were in no ways ap-
plicable to him, and in fact were intended to
spplyonlyto other members of the direction.
We have the assurance frontour local Di-
rector that the Turnpike.is_ now . abandoned
by the Company, and such being the casefthe
Selectmen sl1ou1d.forthwith_put it in thorough
repair, pursuant to the vote of the town.-
Thereis nothing so much demanded by the
public interest as good roads, and there are
no measures that can be carried out by our
boardvof Selectinen, which will redound so
much to’ their honor and glory as the making
and keepiug’,them's"o. “_"" p '
Q- We have received-; a communicition
from an Irishman living in New Canaan and.
whose clad was killed at theireoent deplorable
explosion in that town,’ ‘making it serious
charge against the pastor of St. Mu-y’s
Church, of driving him from the grave of it s‘
him, &.e.,-winding up with the grave charge
that after walking many miles, lie’, with nu-
merous other Catholics, warrefused admis-
sion into the Church without paying 50 cents.
_IVn-the latter case, it strikes us, that had our
correspondent read the papers, he would have
seen that an admisiion was to be charged,
and some eight hundred of his - own people
seem to have assented to it, and if he did not
feel willing to accede to this arrarrgeuient of
the majority, he should have stayed away from
the church. As regards the first charge, we
have always looked upon the pastor as pa
amiable and gentlemanly man, and from our
personal acquaintance with him, we - are loth
to believe that any such. assault wa made
without some serious provocation. We are.
confident that there is sopiething connected
with the matter not stated in full by ,0,ll,l‘
correspondent, and therefore decline to give
publicity to his communication.

Daily details and duties in Camp.—Th'e
first day will be devoted to the school of’ the
Soldier or Squad. The 2nd day to the school
of the Company. The 3d'day to the school of
the Battalion. The parades, guard mounting,
and all duties in Camp will be announced
daily in orders. No Oflcer will _be allowed to

commanding Officer. No Omcer is on any
account to sleep out of Camp without permis-
sion. The “Reveille” is to sound or beat at
day-break, and is the signal for the men to
rise. The “ Troop” is to sound or beat at 65
o’clock, A. M., for the purpose of assembling
the Officers for the morning parade. The “Be-
treat” is to sound or beat at sunset, for the
evening parade and reading the Orders of the
day. The “ Tattoo” is to be best at 10 o’clock
P. M., after which all lights will be put out,
and no Ofilcer is to be out of his tent or quar-

As the law of the State provides for the
payment of‘ the Oflleers on the last day of the
parade, they will be mustered according to
array regulations at 3 "o’clock, P. M. for that

to strike the tents and the parade dismissed.
Buchanan Rally.
-' The Buchanan men are to have a grand ral-
ly on Thursday evening the 14th inst; at Phoe-
nix Hall, when Lorenzo B. Shepherd, J. B.
Lockwood and Capt. Isaiah Ryndera, of the
Empire Club, James Galligher, James D. Kees
and Franklin W. Fish, of New Haven, are an-
nounced as to be present and speak on the oc-
casion. There is a grand combination of tal-
ent in these speakers, but we presume it will
require it all to satisfy any honest Democrat
that there is any true democracy in slave dri-
ving or slavery extension over territory con-
secrated to freedom, which is the cardinal doc-
trine of the sham-democracy of to-day. ,
Waked up the wrong Passenger.
We learn that Mr. A. E. Kroger, one of
our adopted fellow citizens, who has hereto-
fore been a ‘staunch democrat, and whose
name ' appears in the Farmer as one of the
Vice Presidents of their Club, has addressed
a- letter to the President, thanking the
party" for the intended honor, and stating that
he is from principle attached to true Democra-
cy, but has witnessed with pain the departure
‘of those who now usurp that honored name from
the wisepolicy of the founders of Democracy,
and their surrender of everything to the pur-
poses of‘ slavery extension, &c. We“reckon”
there are many more ‘instances where they
“reckon without the host” in this town.

ing distinct organizations in the two vil-
lages, while for the purposes of mutual
-aid and co-operation we recommend the
appointment by each Club a committee
of three persons to be styled the Union

- For the Gazette.
Ma. Em-roa :—With your permis-
‘sion I should like to fill a nook in your
paper for a few weeks onthe subject of
American Slavery. As this is the ques-
tion of the day, your readers may like to
see it as it is, that they may know their
duty in regard to it. I propose to define
American Slavery, to show that it is
not sanctioned by the sacred volume.
and to prove that the spirit and princi-
ples of the Bible are entirely opposed to
it. The reasons why I wish to discuss
these points at the. present time are, first
because, duringlast May and June the
arguments of several pro-slavery cham-
pions (especially Dr. Ross and Dr
Rice.) from the _South, and of some of
their coadjutors at the North, (for ins-'
tanee‘Dr. Joel Parkeraud Dr. S. I
Prime) were ‘extensively circulated over
the country, and were calculated to
make simple minded people believe that
Slavery is sanctioned by the Almighty,
and is better than freedom in its, place.
Second, should these plausible argu-
ments produce these effects, people ' will
not feel the same abliorrence of Brooks-
ism and Border Ruffianism, hthpt they
men of Kansas. And third. the people
need tobe correctly" indoctrinated on
this subject to prepare them to do- their
duty at the next Presidential election.
WHAT IS AMERICAN SLAVERY?
It is that state of things in our couptry
under which men act on the principle
that mtg/it makes right, that the strong
have a right to compel obedience from
the’ weak, that Europeans and their des-
cendants have a right to treat Africans
and their descendants as things, as
goods and chattels. As some may’ wish
my authority for the above definition, I
will give it :
"A slave is one who is in the power of
a master to whom he belongs. The
master maysell him, dispose of his
person, his industry, and his labor, he
(the slave) . can do nothing, possess
nothing, nor acquire anything but
what must belong to his master!’
Lousiana Code.
"Goods they are and goods they shall
be esteemed.”—Ct'vt'l Code, Taylor’:
Elements, p. 429.
"Slaves shall be deemed, sold, taken,
and reported to be chattels personal in
the hands of their owners and posses.
sors, their executors, administrators, and
assigns, to all intents, constructions, and
purposes whatsoever.”-—Laws of South
Carolina. Strand, 7:. 22-3.
"The dominion of the master is as
unlimited as that which is tolerated by
the laws of any civilized community in
relation to quad.mpeds.”— Strand p 26.
“In case the personal property_of a
ward shall consist of specific articles,
such as slaves, working beasts,‘am’mals
of any kind, stock, furniture, plate,
books. ll-c., the Court, if it, shall be
deemed advantageous for the ward,
may, at any time, passan order for the
sale thereoVf.”—Laws" of Maryland.
1798. ‘
Hence it appears that the distinguish-
ing principle of American Slavery is
this; slaves are not to be ranked among
rational beings, but they are to. be
onsmsn, HELD, and rnnsrsn as things
as articles of property, to all intents,
constructions" and purpose: whatsoever.
Consequently Slavery, as defined by its
own laws, does not allow to the slave
the rights of his own reason and. cons-
cience. ‘ 2
Of course, it annihilates the family
state, prevents the parents from obeying
the commands of God with regard to
their children; it prohibits or nullifies
the marriage ties, one prevents Jina-
bands and wives from obeying God’s
commands in regard to each other.
It sanctions promiscuous intercourse
between the sexes, without the rites of
marriage.
It holds all the religious priyileges of
the slave at "‘ the mere mercy of his
master, whether that master be infidel,
papist, or protestant.
It prevents the slave from obeying
the Saviour’s command to "search the
Scriptures.” «
Its direct tendency is to crush the
minds of God’s intelligent creatures, by
forbidding.aud preventing all schools
for “mental instructibn.”
It withholds the hire or proper com-
pensation from the laborer.
It sanctions the slave trade, which in
other cases is treated as piracy. .
It originates and justifies "mansteal-'
ing."
It tends to crush all manhood out
of man. ’ »
This as Americqn Slavery. Look a
it. Turn it over, and look on the other
side. Look it in theface. Look at its
back. Examine all its parts. See what
kind of tracks it makes. How do you
like it? Are you disposed to wish its
continuance? Do you wislf its ezten
_ F
stop ? ' -
For g coiisiderable portion of what is
said, in this definitionwof Slavery, I am
i'ndebted~to a small book called “‘Ah;i
Slavery Manual,” by Hey, ‘(,9 gay
