In the year 1836, speculation ran high—as many
of onr business men, in " all parts of the union, re.
metither to their sorrow. The good old Mods 'of
honest industry were covered with grass, while.
men were hurrying into fortunes on the steam cars
of speculation. City lots were the rage. The old
• , ,
cities were extended on paper, to limits that they
will not reach for centuries to come ; and' new
ones veto snrveyed; and some where deep waters
flowed, or rocky Mountains rose. Yet they were
all mapped out, laid down in regular city lots, and
duly.numbered; and such were sold and bought
- It was a swimming time: Money was plenty, and
ex:Changed hands freely. Fortunes were made in
a day, and thousands completely and hopelessly
ruined. Mr. Orton, father of our heroine, was
drawn into this whirlpool. He bought and sold
:fiouses and lots, both at home and abroad, and
was engaged in a moat promising speculation,
- when erash came the stupendous : building, which
was erected upon-a sandy foundation, and thou.
sands were buried beneath its unsightly ruins.
The' glowing but visionary prospects of property
holders were suddenly blasted. Property which
was exalted tenfold beyond its real value, fell as
- far helow when the circulating medium of the
country was tested.
Poor Mr. Orton was nearly ruined by this ma
nia. He had secured several fine tracts of ground,
far which he paid an exorbitant price, but which,
during the rage, would have sold at a good per
centage. Indeed, he was offered fifteen thousand
dollars for his bargain, but (expecting to realize
twenty•five thou/and dollars) refused the offer.
This refusal was the worst act of his life. At the
purchase of these low, he .borrowed ten thousand
dollars from Mr. Van Eisley, Henry's uncle.
Mr.. Van Eisley Soon heard of Mr. Orton a fail
ure, and wrote to him in regard to his money.—
This was nothing more than Mr. Orton expected;
consequently he made a fair and candid exhibition
of his financial affairs to Mr. Van Risley. He in.
formed him that he was completely insolvent ;
that he - still held property, but the change of times
bad so reduced its value, that if it was sold, it would
Scarcely cover the half of his liabilities; and he
iidviiied Mr. Van Eisley to exercise patience, and
await;the-turn which might take place,Rromising
to exett himself for .thit- redethiticm of his pledge.
This satisfied Mr. Van Eisley that it Would-be
useless to expect his money soon, and that it was
folly to enter upon a process for its collection.—
Trusting to Mr. Orton's honesty and exertions, be
took measures to have it more permanently se
cured. For this purpose he sent his son Henry to
have a mortgage executed, and recorded. Henry
Van Eisley, in accordance withhis fathei's direc
tions, iepaired to called upon Mr. S. and
stated his business. He_ Was answered favorably
to the proposal, but two or three days elapsed be.
fore he could accoanplish the object of his mission
- On one of his visits he fell in with Kate, and was
charmed with her beauty. On takioghis leave, he
found himself deeply in love with the fascinating
Miss Orton. After this he was not so urgent upon
Mr. Orton in regard tohis businessoind in one inter-
-view*MerelY spoke_of his affection for Sate, and
- the piobability that the matter could be arranged
,by their marriages _ sking; at the same time, privi
lege to address the lady. This was'eold to Kate
by her father, and proved anything but acceptable,
' for young Mr. Van
.Eisley possessed‘none of the
qualifications necessary to attract her attention
and secure her.love. The next evening Mr. Van'
jr., presented himself, and inquired for Miss
Orton.
_Kate was in her room when the serlrant
presentedthe young gentleman's request.- - Tell
him," said Kate, " that father is away , from
home."
This message was duly delivered, and Kate's
lover took his hat and leave forever more, deter
mined that the proud beauty should suffer fof her
insolence: That evening he took passage for
home. On arriving at his fatheiii, be gave a bad
account of the honesty of Mr. Orton, stating that
he had exerted every means to obtain the molt
_ gage to no effect ; and gave as his opinion, that the
money could be made out of Mr. Orton's property .
Tbus the piqued lover endeavored to carry his de
termination into - execution. His father was more
generous and ingenious, for be saw that his son's
'course would be a bad one, as well as a cruel
one. Henry-then proposed taking the note from
his lather, and colleciing it. To this the old gen
tleman objected on the same principle. Young
Mr. Van Eisley, being foiled in every attempt to
execute vengeance upon Kate Orton for treating
him so cooly, determined to perplex his father for
frustrating his designs.
For the accomplishment of this dad he wrote to
-Mr.Orton, and stated that he need not put himself
to any, trouble "about the mortgage, as his father
felt hituselt perfectly secure.. This letter had an
effect directly the opposite of that designed by its
author; for,in one week after, the ; mortgage and
bond came to hand, and a letter from Mr. Orton
stating, that he had received Henry's letter, but
thopght it betta to give the mortgage.
This produced a misunderstanding between fa
ther and son, but Henry cleared all up,by charging
Mr:Orton with duplicity. Henry was completely
nori.-plussed by the reception of these papers, And
resolved to await a convenient opportunity, to' Ob
tain satisfaition for the unpardonable slightfrom
Miss Orton. Nothing short of Hate's sending tor

Emancipation.
We are amazed at the progress of anti slavery sen
timentin the South. 'All at once a great party, in
'favor of emancipation has started into existence—
members residiOg in every state in which slaver' are
held.' A . few years ago no man dared to raise his
voice against the institution of slavery within any
of the states south of the famous boundary line. The
prosperity .of these states Was regarded as ao knit
with slavery Oat he who proposed emancipation
was denounced as an enemy ofpublic order, and hins.
tile to the interests of both races.
But now we behold a change. How it has been
bronght about we are not prepared to say. Doubt
less the agitations of the North have had their influ
ence. The action of certain civilized and barbarian
governments, of the east, have,, we are satisfied,
awakened our southern fellew-citizens to a sense of
:their true interests. Emancipation is now boldly
proclaimed in Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Ten
nessee, Maryland, Virginia and Texas. In all the
other states where slavery exists, men of influence
have come out with appeals to their:neighbor' in be
half of freedom. Even in South Carolina, where the
great Calhoun has ruled as with - diapotic power,
light is breaking in, and the sentinieut o: freedom has
taken deep root.
We cannot speak of the benefits which the consu
mation of this grand movement is to confer upon
the unfortunate race that is now so low. "Whether
freedom will elevate or degrade is a question which
the future, not the present, must decide. Amon be
the hope of all that they may mount upwards to a
high place among the people of the earth. But we
have doubts lotto any immediate good awaiting them.
It is a fixed fact that they will be trodden down as long
as they persist in mixing with the whites. Will they
then seek a land where they may know no masters t
They seem to be averse to a change of ccnintry ; but
.we have hopes that we may yet Ike to see the dny,
when the now infant colony of Liberia will bare
spread its free institutions over so much of Africa, as
to make a desirable home for the entire negro race.
But we commenced this for the purpose of intro-
ducing the proceedings of a meeting, lately held in
Lexington, Ky. We publish them to exhibit the
spirit which actuates the friends of emancipation in
the South :
Public Meeting.—ln pursuance of notice, a meet.
ieg ol those of the citizens of Lexington, and Pay-
Otte county, 'opposed to the_ perpetuation of slavery
in this commonwealth, was held in tae City Hall, on
Saturday, the 14th of April, when, on motion, Mr.
Edward Oldhami was called to the chair, and. W. A.
Dudley appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been explained
in a few eloquent remarks by Hon Henry Clay and
Rev R 8 Breckenridge, on motion of the latter gen
tleman, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted 7.
I. This meeting, composed of citizen!' of the coun
ty of Payette, met, in pursuance of previous notice,
to consider the question of the perpetuation of
slavery in this commonwealth, considering that her.
editary Domestic Slavery, as it exists amongst as:
I. Is contrary to the rights of mankind;
3. Is opposed to the fundautentar principles of
free government;
3. Is inconsistent with a state of sound-morality.
4. Is hostile to the prosperity of the Common-
wealth, are_ of opinion, that it ought not to be
made perpetual, and that the Contention/boot to
- meet to amend the Constitution of Will:tete AVMS
a proper occasion on which steps should be taken to
ameliorate the condition of Slavery, in Such way
as shall be found practicable is itself, just as regards
the masters of slaves, and benefiew to the slaves
themselves.
IL In order to concert with who agree with
us, throughout the state a plan of action suitable to
be adopted on the occasion, and to agree with them
upon a common platform of principle, this meeting
appoints the following citizens, and recommends to
as many others ofirimilar sentiments, and can con
veniently attend to meet at Frankfort on the 25th

Steubenville Rail Road Convention.
It was out of our power to attend the Steubenville
Rail Road Convention, in the capacity of a Delegate.
We are pleased to learn, however, that it was very
numerously-attended. .1n fact, the Court House was
found too small to accommodate all who were pres
ent. Delegides were in attendance from Indiana,
Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Mt4,Vernon, Coshoc
ton, and nearly every place of importance on the
prepbsed route. Mr. Rinowsy, of Columbus, pre
sided, assisted by a large number' f Vice Presidents
and Secretaries. The:first day was occupied, chief.
ly,in hearing and discussing the report of the Com
mittee on Resolutions. There was no vote taken.
The Convention adjourned over until yesterday,
(Friday.) We learn from one of the Delegates from
this citythat it was an exceedingly interesting Conven
tion; and that there was a general determination
minirested by those present, to take decisive meas-•
urea to have the work commenced west from Steu
benville at as early a day as possible.
The Scrip.
While standing in a Broker's office the other day,
we saw a number of poor people enter with city
and county scrip, submitting to a shave of twenty
per cent. Is not this heart sickening t It is in effect
reducing the wages of every working man, woman
and child, twenty cents on the dollar. Should the
city permit this outrageous wrong to be committed.
We are not blaming the 'Brokers: But we blame
the city Councils, who in defiance of law and all
sense ofjustice, put the Shinplasiers in circulation.
But we are now suffering. The' remedy is the
matter for consideration; 'wad to it we would rather
direct public attention, than complain of theerrors
that are put. We propose that the city negociate a
-loan of $50,000, which shall be placed in the halide,
of the Treasurer for the purpose of redeeming
small sums that may be presented. This will at
once prevent the frauds upon the poor. Those
who arerich can take the bonds and be gathering
the six per cent. The poor want the specie at once
and the - city is'bound by every law of God and man
to'preteci them from loss.

We despise personalities as much, nay more
than the editor of the Gazette can possibly do; and
we have ever endeavored to preserve a courteous

human nature rebels, and forbearancp ceases to be
a virtue.
It is gross "personality , :is the , lacobinical, ,,

but it is no " personality" with the sanctimonious
hypocrite of the Gazette to misrepresent, traduce',

ponent from their true meaning into what be knevi
they were never intended to mean; and to strike,
not withthe bold front of a man who possessed any
greatness of soul, but with the poisoned knife of a
'calking assassin. We do not fear the Editor of the
Gazette, or,any of his tribe. We have borne with
the malice of such wretches as him too long to

a happy conceitond it may please his masters too,
to compare us to , abionsieur PrOirdhon,” or the

The citizens of Greensburgh met on Wednesday
evening last, at the house of Andrew Lowry, and
partook of a supper given in honor of Mr. Drum , _ as
a testimonial of esteem for his services as Post Mas
ter. The assemblage,—composed of hoth parties
—was very large and respectable. A number of
addresses were made and toasts drank, which add
ed interest and feeling to the occasion.
It seldom happens, that "at the close of official
life, we lee so conch respect (+hewn for an individir•

kind suggestion to come from such a source I No
doubt the Democrats will attend to their, own burli
ness, without the officious intermedling of base po
litical hypocrites. The removal of Mr. Drum has
effectually damned the administration of Zachary
Taylor, and no subsequent act of the federal party,
will wipe out the remembrance of the infamous act.
Kr We are authorized to say, that the statement
made in the Dispatch of yesterday morning, of the
Rey. Mr. Panavant refining poor Tuttle a place in
the Infirmary under his care, is wholly without foun
dation in truth. No application whatever, was made
to him by the Committee or any other person, and
consequently there could be no refusal on his part.

the case, Mr. P. at once requested a friend to make
the necessary arrangements for his lecunediate remo-

Enclosed in the above, Capt. Hart sent us an ex

dated April 9th, which we give to our readers in full,
as itcontains late and important news front the gold
regions • -
Important from California.
The following letter, received by Mr. Z. Leonard
of our county, can be relied , upon, concerning the
true state of affairs now existing in California, as
the writer is a man of well-known veracity, and
was for many years, a resident of this county.
SAN FRANCISCO V. C., Oct. 28th '4B.
Dsao Sea t I take this, the earliest opportunity
to inform yoii of my safe arrival here. I found
California in another revolution, not of blood but
of gold. If I should attempt to give you auything
like a true account of the, condition of this coun
try at the present time, I would fail for I have not
langnage to express, nor descriptive powers to de
li:teeth its true condition, if I had, you would lack
faith to believe. We arrived at the gold mines on
Weaver's creek, a branch of the American fork of
,the Sacremento, where my family is at Ihis time
after a toilsome, tedious and perilous journey of
five months andfive days, but thank, Providence,
without loss or injury. Providence has guided and
directed my course, and kind fortune has taken
me by the hand et every step, I lost: but one ant:
mat on the route, I brought every species of prop
arty I started- with, which is worth more here in
gold than 0111 ever was worth put together;in all
my life; I sold when I landed in the minesrhe
wagon I bought of Oldham and three yoke of oxen
for $lOOO in gold, and was offered $l2OO for the
other wagon and oxen, but I would' not sell her.
It h worth as much to me as a steamboat is to

halves, he hauls: from the Embarceden, a town,

deuce, he hauls-from 30 to 40 hundred the price
various from 20 to 30 dollars per hundred lbs. so
that -betclears for himself over fifty dollars per day

sold off all my horses 3 at $lOO apiece, the coin.
mon price for boreeaand mules varies from one to
four hundred dollars per head, a great many sold
at the latter price, the great demand is for trans•
porting provisions and tools, I sold the pistols I
bought of Henry Childs for $2OO and the belt for
75 dollars in gold. I have been in the country
some 3 weeks and have raised the , rise of three
thousand dollars its gold. The prices quoted above
you will feel disposed to doubt, not being twins.
tamed to such high prices, but they are nothing,
let me give you an idea of the prices of provisions
clothing &c, at.themines. Flour 40 to 100 dollars
per hundred lbs., Beef 90 cents to one Mgr per
lb. Bacon ham°, one to sone dollar and a'half per
lb. ; Sugar 75-' cis; coffee 50; tea 5Q to $1; shirts
from $l6 to $32 apiece ; coats $5O to $lOO -boots ,
$l6; shoes $8; pickled pork 250 dollareper barrel
—these are the mine. prices..
Now let me give you some account of these
mines. Theyare scattered over a region of area
of from 500 to-1000 miles, the richest ever known
upon earth. The 'overage calm - dation for the
amount of per - tons engaged by men of superior
judgment, including. Indians, Mexicans, runaway
sailors, disbanded-soldiers, Connacers from the,is-,
lands; and all kinds of emalgatione4 men and mon.
eters, are set down at $l5 per day, thOugh .you
.can hire no man for''iet amount; you-can hire
some men for $250 per month, but not NO. I.—
They will not thinkof less thin Tram $lOO to 500
800 and 1000 per day, and two men have taken
from one hole forty pounds in two days. This is
the most I have heard of; there are more new
discoveries ,beingmadeeveyday, and God only
know' where it will end. Gold is nothing mote
thought of than dirt, There is - no credit asked or
given, the transactions are all acted upon in gold.
I do not like the production of this country—l do
not like climatet taxi more. than all I abhor and
detest the society';, never evict to sow a sect
or pletnt a grain ilithiiecountry. I expect to con
tinue in the minea, - myself and family, each one
doing his best, until:we - all get a sufficiency to live

The Snow Storm.-Inietry - toothe Veteen.
The southerscpapers speak of the heaiy snow
which unexpectedly fell on last Sunday week, and
the damage it has inflicted on the growing crops'
The Camden (S. 'O,), Journal says:qt commenced
with a slight fall early the morning, and con
tinued to increase in quantity until two <or three
o'clock in the afternoon; when it fell in large . ffakes
asin mid-winter. The prospect of the green trees
and forests near the town, covered with snow,
was as novel as it was beautiful to the , admirer'of
natute's works. The house-tops were covered
with snow, which had not melted on Vondly
morning. A mid.winter scene in early spring is
,ti
eight that we do not remember to have seen at any
former period:*
A letter ffom Entaw . states, it has "undoubtly
killed the cotton which bad made its appearance
above the ground;" but the corn may . recover, or
be replanted. A' letter from Edista; says, "that
the crop of cotton in that vicinity, which was but
partially up, had been mowed down by the frost .
of the previous night, and the planters were engag
ed in replanting, such portions of their fields as had
vegetated.",
A letter from Hambargh, 16th inst, say s: ""ire
had a killing frost last 'right, which ' has done greit
damage to what cotton is ,up." A letter from
Georgetown says: "The snow covered the earth
three inches thick. This morning presents air
awful sight to us planters. .111 i, corn that was
growing on Saturday beautiful, and four leaves
high, is this morning, the 16t of April, covered
with Snow. This has been the severest snow .
storm I have ever seen in Carolina.: I*,lur fruitrind
garden all gone. ' * '
"P. S. AU the rice that was riot covered with wa
ter is lilted."
T. S. HART
The Augusta papers of Thuesday express great
fears of the cotton and grain crops. -
The Alilledgevitle Recorder states that the frost
of Sunday night in that neighborhood totally ruin=
the early cotton To sucliniextent has this'des

ed for a replanting.— Wash. Union 24.
The result of the various phases through which
the popular sentiment has latelyTassed in the
German States, is the election, as is known, of the
King of Prussia to the throne of the German Erni:
pire, by the Frankfort Assembly. The Philadel-'
phia Bulletin has the following striking remarks'
on, the subject :
"The title of 'Emperor of the Gerrnans' is
worthy of a moment's reflection and no one can
help comparing it with that of fAmis Philippe of
France, who, when raised by the people t 6 the re
gal throne, took his seat with no other - title than
that of King of the French.' In the case of the
French monarch, it was a compulsory homage to:
the great piinciple of popular government—an um
t~ filling acknaWledgment of the rights of the peo
ple. In the case of William of Germany, it is a
similar acknowledgment,rendercd necessary by the
gradual but certain growth of a similar sentiment,
throughout Europe. It is. a source of pride among
republicans to See their favorite ideas thus recog.
nized by monarchists and aristocrats, but the in
sincerity of these classes,•as displayed °Benin suc
ceeding events, is equally a source of uneasiness.
Who can fail to recall the continual encroachs
ments of Louis Philippe upon popular freedom,
until, from being the king of the people, with sup
posed limited powers, he became one of the most
-overbearing and absolute of European monarchs.
We are much mistaken in Williarn,.the Emperor,
of the Ger Maris; ifhe does not eadeavai tO - ..fasten
upon his snbjects similar fetters, and under the
mask of sovereign of the people, to hide the fea
tures of iideterrnined and unbending despot. Re'
may. not possess the cunning, the tact, and the
ptausible address of the dethroned French monarch,
necessary to accomplish such an, end, but we can
not avoidseeing that such is the design of the Ger;
man monarchists, in giving ; a title thatshall tickle
the public palate, 'and gild the pill of deapotitim
ablut to be administered
The Frankfort Assembly has adoptedit coastitu
tion ' which contains some further tributes to the
-
cause of liberty: Among these is . a provision m
relation to elections, conferring the right of uni
versal suffrage, and vote by ballot. The contest
on this point betweekthe ministerial and mod&
rate parties was spirited, and the former yielded
the point to the latter for the purpose.of securing
aid in the more difficult question of the hereditary
sove:eignty. The latter project was carried. after
a severe contest, and we find the strange contra: .
dictions of a sovereignty hereditary and universal
suffrage existing in the same country. 'The veto
of the Emperor upon the proceedings of the
gislative body :was els& Modified by makiag it
suspensive instead 'of absolute. .Amendments to
he constitutions may also be adopted, under cer
tain restrictions; withonttlii; Emperor's Co:insult.
If they pass both houses by a vote of two-thirds,
two-third of all the members being present, during
three consecutive sessions, they take effect without
his approval..-- Tkis provision reconciles the sepal).
lima to 'imperial rule, as there is a probability
that, under it a democratic government may ulti
mately be reached."
ANNEXATION REPUDIATED IN TUE CANADA
Lxorst.A.Tonz.--In the Canada • Legislatute, on
Saturday last. while the tariff question was under
liscussion,_the subject of annexation was casually
alluded to, when Mr. Blake, Solicitor General, rose
and spoke as follows :
" He deqlly..regretted that such a proposal should
have emanated from any politkal, party, or from
any section of the province. The darkest day for
Canada would be thaton which the last of the Bri•
tish troopi should leave her shores. .He'-trusted
that he should never see that day, and he believed
the sentiments he had uttered would be reiponded
to by every Hon. member in the House."
This speech was received with Todd cheers from
all quarters of the House, and Mr. Blake,is one of
thejlisaffected.
