Wives’ Domestic Catechism*
BT THE BARD 07 TOWER HALL.
E'er oclectio in our doctrines—
Wedded not to sect or ism—
We will publish what we ohristen
“ Wives’ Domestic Catechism.”
’Tie ior wives of our Republic*
And may lead to facte surprising,
In responses made by husbands/
When their wives are.oateohißing.
Thus it runs i- My lord and master*
Rid you really lovo me dearly
When we wedded, and were vows, Bir*
From the heart* or lip-words merely ?
if the'solemn truth made saorod
AH the vews that then were spokon;
Break out boldly! have you truly •.
Ever kept those vows unbroken ?
Are the flowors of love still blooming
In your heart, and fondly ohcrisUea ?
Or. by unexpected frosts. Sir,
Have afl’eotion’s blossoms perished ■
Does your heart, in honor kingly,
Keep mo seated on its throne 7
Answer husband! truly answer!
Am I there its quoen alone ?
To the maroh of Love Triumphant
Have you from the bridal altar
Travelled on with no misstep, Bir,
And with not a thought to faltor ?
, Have your words been ever tender,
As if love were phrases moulding ?
Or have earnest tonos of yours, Sir,
Sometimes sounded much like scolding •
Did you in the honey-moon, Sir,
Bay with love-tuned lips, to oheer mo,
Thattheeveningsof oxistenoe
You would pass forever near me f
Have you kept that solemn promise.
Made when first ourvowswereplighted r
Or are you from home at night, Sir-*
Leaving me in doubts benighted ?
Do vou kiss me on returning.
With a breath liko fragrant tulips ?
Or do you neglect to kiss me,
With a breath that smells of juleps ?
Do you think that constant puffing
Of cigars is right and mannish,
When their smoke offends the ladies.
Though it rise from best of Bpamsti?
Do you chew the wood narcotic,
Called tobacco ? Oh ! why do it?
It is poison! will you not then
Promise me you will escheto it?
Listen now! for I’ve some questions
Most important ones of all, Sir—
Do you purchase all tour Clothing
At the Mammoth Tower Hall, Bir ?
if rou do, you save much money—
\ ou’vo a wife and should not stmt her—
Can I have a hundred dollars.

First Bengal European Funilaors, Commandant of Hod

INCLUDING A PERSONAL NARRATIVE
OF THE
SIEGE OF DELHI,
AND CAPTURE OF THE KINO AND PRINCESS,
Edited hr his brother, Rev. G kobo ll.ifonsov.M. A»»
With an Introduction by the Author of
“Sohool Day* at Hughy.”
If from tho chosen one* of each regiment of England’*
brave men in tho Indian war a bravest ortho bravo
were to l>e selected, wo boliovo that Ilodson of Hudson’s
Homo would stan d forth tho repreßcntativo of tho hand
of heroes. * * * Neithor Fernando Perez del Pot
gar, or any Cid, or ralndin, over achioved nobler ex
ploit* than are hero rocorded.—[London Athornirum.
Ask nny soldier who wn* tho b'&vcst man before Del
hi, who most in tho saddle, who foremost? and uine out
of ten in the Infantry will toll you, Hudson.—[Bl&ct,-
Wood’s Magazine.
As long as manly courage—a courage which is
not only in the held or battle, but in the often harder''
contest of peaceful times—is held in honor, Englishmen,
will havo reason to srailo proudly when they speak of
Ilodson of Hodson’a Homo. * * • Many more tui
tions are to como, for thousands are stiil to read m it
the story of a Christian soldier, with whom duty, in iy
full sense was tho one fixed principle.—[London Exa
miner.
With regard to the selection of tho lettorn, and the,
simplo narrative whioh has been contributed to them at
a setting, wc can hardly overpraise the taste, tho
inont, and tho manly sense with which the editor has’
fulfilled his pious task -[Saturday Review.
It is a fitting memorial that his brother has raise*}
over him. Taste and judgment we had a right to
from a Fellow of Trinity. But to these have been added
precisely that manliness anil good horso which Major
Ilodson would most havo desired that his biographer
should possess.—[Literary Gazette.

Tho setonoo of Political Economy, of tho groat
ost national importance, although of comparatively
recent organization, hag found an able exponont in
Mr. George Tucker, forraorly Representative in
Congress from Virginia, and Professor of Moral
Philosophy in tho University of Virginia. Ho has
published an ootavo volumo, of no great bulk, on-
HUod “Political Economy for the People,” which,
it strikes us, is one of tho most oloar and least con*
trovertiblo treatises on the subjeot overwritten. It
is a compendium of leoturoa whioh iie delivered in
tho University of Virginia, yrith such alterations
and additions ns his further experience and reflec
tion havo suggested. Tho best chapters aro upon

Munoy, Published by C. Sherman tfc Bon, Phila

Wo have received, published by D. Van Noa
irnml, Now York, n volume by William Howson,
Civil Engineer, upon tho “ Principles and Practice
of Embanking Lands from TUvor* Floods, as ap
plied tothoLevcosofthoMississippi.” Wonrofree
to confess that tho subjeotof River Embankmont
is now to us. Mr. Ilewson, however, tells us a
great doal upon tho general question, and more
particularly upon tho embankments of the Missis
sippi. lie was employed upon tho dralnago am}
reclamation of the Urent Valley of the Yaxoo, aud.
.thereforewritos with, that .certainty of‘knowledge
which prnoticel oxperionoo and thoroughly scienti
fic acquirements glvo. The subject isonoof very
great publio importance, and Mr. Howson has
acted wisely in showing precisely what tho diffi
culties are, bow they can bo ovorcomo, and what
tho result.
A fifth edition of a book, before the first was woll
advertised, is a novelty, even in this book-making
age. Snob wo havo, however, in “ Gold-Foil,” by
tho writer whose vom de plume Is “ Timothy Tit
comb,” who takes a great many proverbs, upon
which he discourses, rationally and pleasantly. Dr.
J. G. Holland, author of that oxcollcnt book.
“ Bitter-Sweot,” is tho Ycrnoloua Timothy Ttt~
comhy who writes prose almost as well as ho writes
poetry, which Is Baying much. Ilia “ Gold-Foil,”
hammered, he says, “ from a hundred proverbs,”
is really a collection of well-writton essays upon
vnrlous subjects. It is published by C. Scribner,
New York.
A volumo of Sermons, by Charles Kingsley, who
is at once divine, poot, and novelist, hns been pub
lished by M. Doolndy, Now York. Dcspito his ap
proach to Fourierism, Mr. Kingsley has lately been
appointed chnplain to Quocn Victoria. His sor
mons aro tho shortest we ever read—the avorngo
being about nine 12mo. pages to each discourse.
As plain, practical sermons they are scarcely to bo
surpassed.
Tho Life of John Wesley has lately been given,
in tho two opening volumes of Dr. Stevens’ History
of Methodism, ono of tho most satisfactory works
upon roligious history ever written. Wo have long
been determined to uotlco it In full. Meanwhile,
thero is a companion work whioh wo would recom
mend—a rovised edition of Gillies 1 Memoirs of tho
Rev. Georgo Whltefield, with an introduction by
ProfessorC. E. Stowo. It hasjust been published by
Lonry, Getz, A Co., of this city, and should bo
road by thoso who dcalro to know bow Methodism
arose, and what its founders and ministers were,
ft is printed with bold typo, and has a portrait of
Whitcficld. Additional Interest Is conncolcd with
this volumo from tho fact that, even moro than
Wesley, tho cnrncrit labors of Whitcficld woto in
this country. lie died at Nowburyport,on tho last
day of September, 1770, oged fifty-six.
A short time ngo wo noticed, with the praieo
which it fully deserved, tlio first volume, octavo,

REV. HENRY GRATTAN GUINNESS,
oy nunu.N.
SIT GRAYBBABD,
The immense crowds attracted by Mr. Spur
geon’s preaching, on the other side of the Atlantio,
no less than the onormous sales of his published
sermons (by Messrs. Sheldon A Co.) on this side,
have olioitod universal comment, and not a fsw threo
theusaod-mile excursions have been made almost on
purpeso to hear the man; “and behold a greater
than Fpuigcou is hero”—at least so say some who
have heard both in their own country. Like Spur
geon, Mr. Guinness is ayoung man, notyot twenty
five. He arrived heroin the steamer “ City of Bal
timore,” an Friday of last week, and tho day after
preaohed his first sermon in- America, in Jayne’s
Hall.’ He bos prenched either twice or thrice ove
ry day rinco then to congregations measured only
by the capacity of tho churches in whioh ho spoke.
He lias probably had an aggregate auditory of
twenty thousand people within the week.' The
quostion naturally arises, what Is the secret of this
young man’s power? Let us sue. ,
In the first place, he comes before the people,
Ins appearance, tuannor, and utterance, ail bear
ing testimony to his Christian armor, aud His skill
in wielding the “ sword of tho spirit.” Hii trum
pet gives forth no uncertain pound. 110 comes no*
in his own name, but In tho capacity of a “he
rald,” and by his noble bearing in proclaiming
boldly his messoge, the mind of his hearers is at
once carried beyond the man to the Power by
which be Is accredited. A more hold pnql&iiucr
of Gospel truth, In all tha breadth and dopt|» ofiU
tpdtrtfrj I bare 'seldom henrtf. Indeed, for ono of
hfs years, he evinoes a wonderful acquaintance,
not morely with tho loiter of Bcripturo, but with
its broad oatholio spirit. With slight exceptions,
the“graco of God,” and tho “glory of his Son,”
aro at onoe the source and fountain of his preach
ing. Though a study in himself, there is nothing
of seif in his sermons. He feels his mission to be
to tho unconverted, tho back-sliding, and hypo
critical professors, and with this view hojdruws
from tho treasury of God’s Word without stint,
and expounds like a roaster. His provinco is evi
dently that of an evangelist, rather than a pastor,
or oven a teachor.
We oan, perhaps, obtain no better idea of his
stylo than by following him briefly through one of
his sermons. On Wednesday ovening, ho oocupim!
tho pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Broad and
Aroh streets, and preaohed from this text: u lie
ye reconciled to God ßefore entering the pul
pit, there was an ovident interest manifested, by
many, to sco the distinguished preacher. Pre
ceded by three of his ministerial friends, Revs
Cuthbert, Malln, and Alien, he entered, and took
his seat upon the loft of the platform. In personal
appearance, bo is quite prepossessing; above the
medium height; in faot, rather tall; admirably
proportioned, and looks tho gentleman all over.
On this occasion, he appearod neatly attired in
black, wearing a rather extonslve white cravat,
a lino of dark whiskers meeting under his chin,
having his long block hair combed straight back
ovor his head, a la Rev. Mr. Carden, to whose
upper fnco tho brow of Mr. Guinness bears some
resemblonce. Ilia first appearance reminded me
of Georgo Lippard. He has Lippard’a large flash
ing eye, his full-developed mouth, his singularly
prominent and hirsute brow, his walk, and some
of his gestures, and, when he entered upon his dis
course, I was still more struck with tho similarity
of tho genim of tho two inon. Thore was the
satno norvous enthusiosm, tho snmo power of in
tense and exaggerated description, and tho same
play of conntonanco, keeping pace with, and giv
ing expression to opposito emotions, following each
othor in quick succession. Tho calling of Mr
Guinness, of coarse, hns a tendency to modify,
somewhat, these peculiarities in his pulpit efforts ;
but tho gonornl cast of his Intellect is certainly
not unliko that of tho nnfortunalo novelist.
Approaching tho desk, ho opened tho Bible, and
in a cloar, full voice, with a very slight foreign
accent, said abruptly: “Tho fifth chapter of Urn
second cplstlo of Paul to tho Corinthians.” A
bncf pnuso ousned, when hocoramcnccd rending a*
follows, emphasizing every word as if he was as ab
solutely certain of its truth as of his own oxist
onco: “ For we know thut , if onr earthly house
nf thU Sahtruaclc ivrre ditsolvedy tee httve a
building of Gody (i house not made with hands,
eternal in the /•ravens,' 1 Pausing hero again for
a. moment, ho turned to his Congregation nhd ad
ded, in a very impressive manner, “Sooner or
later, your religion will bo put to tho test; tm-l do
you think that with your last breath or so you can
adopt this language? Happy are you if you, can.”
This said, he proceeded to read tho ecoond vorse
of tho chapter, expounding as ho proceeded/ Some
of tho points made in the course of tho running ex
position indicated a depth of research, and a con
sistency with tho tmo spirit of tho Bible, ns a
wholo, evlneod by few ministers of the present day,
of twico his years, weighing the full forco of thi*
expression. This Introductory commentary alone,
which occupied some thirty minutos, would a fiord
sufficient material for anartido; but as tho enunci
ation of his text has not yet been reached, and an
hour-and-a-qunrtor sermon U yet to follow, h few
prominent points can only be noticed. “ The
earnest of tho Spirit,” spoken of in the fifth verse,
was illustrated thus: As in certain countries to Ou
tlay contracts were t-caled by one party conveying
to tho other earth and water as nn “earnest” of
what was subsequently to bo conveyed; so God
gnvo to believers in his Son tho “earnest” of their
spiritual inheritance hereafter, by placing his own
Spirit in tho believer’s heart, tho prosenm of
which alono constituted him a son, nnd a joint
heir with Christ. Ho deprecated tho idea
of men “working out their own salvation,” with
tho view of thereby obtaining salvation; rather
wore they to work because salvation had already
been given them. This view is, of courso, not
new, being held, at least in theory, by all Calvin-
Utio denominations, but tho manner in which it
was presented by tho «peaker was very originnl.
lie believes in a hnppy, cheerful, joyous Christi
anity. Tho declaration of our Saviour, “ thy
wholo body shall be full of light,” was pre.-ented
with remarkable force, showing the fortuity of Hr.
Guinness’ resources for illustration. Turning toono
of tho gas-light globes at his side, he said in sub
stanco: “ Let that globe represent a Christian, in
whom dwells Iho spirit of Christ, who declared
himself to bo ‘tho light of tho world.* Look at
and admlro Us cffulgonco. Now go wrap it round
and round with folds of ernpo, until it is so com
pletely covered with a sable, opnquo garment that
its light is clloctually hid from our view. This
will represent tho Christian in a certain aspect—
a dark gloomy object with no indication* of the
light within But now reuiovo those fuldsof crape,
until there shall bo nothing between the light nnd
tho oye but tho crystal covering, and you havo an
illustration of what the man of Qod should be.
Ho now reflects tho Spirit which God has given
him, nnd thus glorifies the Giver—now “ his wholo
body is full of light!”
Ho next pictured tho significance of “ a now crea
ture in Christ Jesus,” adding, when done, “ I won
der how many new cnatures thcro aro in this ton
grogation.”
Iji prayer, ho is earnest and eloquent, and every
intonation bespeaks tho spirit of devotion. You
neod not hear his words to distinguish that ho is
addressing God, not man. Jlo docs not seem to
dictate to tho Being ho is addressing, but. in tho
attitudo nf a dependent yet confident suppliant, he
presents his petitions in terms always appropriate
and reverential.
Uaving como to his sorrnon proper, he announced
his text, from tho chapter already quoted, “ lie ye
icconcited to Gad” which words ho ropcatcd
slowly twioo over, nud then struck out in a strain of
peculiar descriptive cloqucnoo to show man tho hue
position ho occupied while alienated from God. He
was not long in establishing his title to raoro than
common etninonco as ft pulpit orator. Ho always
extemporizes. Tndoed, for ono nlw preaches twice
ns many times as thoro aro days in tho week, wri
ting sermons would bo out of tho question; yet
this may prove detrimental to his progress in the
art of correct speaking. Even now his stylo is nt
times objectionably florid for tho pulpit; though
much of this is tho result of ft youthful ardor, which
with caro ogo will correct. Ho has a vigorous per
ceptive. intolloot, great powor of language, and an
emotional temperament; his descriptions, hence,
though always bold and strong, incline to tho gor
geous. Tho contrasts between tho lights and
shadows of his mcutal pictures aro too striking.
In this particular his ttfyle admits of no medium
shades. His imagery, though often sublime, i 3 nt
times weakened by excessive ornnment. Ho rovols
In tho portraituro of tho floating clouds, tho out
strotchod landscape, and tho rolling floods. Tho
dawn in his hands becomes tho “ rosy light of
morn;” and tho rising sun, “tho brilliant nnd
burning luminary of day, bursting in a blare of
glory upon tho admiring world !”
Still, it must not bo supposed that it is in tho
powor of words alone that Guinness is great. Ho
poßscssesconsiderablooriginality, and an instinctive
appreciation of tho groat truths he preaches, which,
after all, gives to him his magnotic power ovor his
audiences. Ho pronohes with great plainness, but
(judging from this single effort) doos not indulge in
offensive denunciations, which tho Scriptures do
not warrant. Ab ho approaches tho climax of a
thought or Illustration you seo tho flro of hts mind
running along tho train, till Buddenty it reaches
tho magazlno, and, not unlike Henry Ward Beecher,
ho oxplodes with a concluding avalanche, and then
recedes to gathor up and roll in a new wave of his
subject. This “ cxplosivo” stylo, by tho way, un
less perfectly natural, is very absurd i but, in tbo
TWO CENTS.
subject of our present portrait, it is not a “froth
and fury signifying nothing,” but a culmination of
genuine power.
In his gestures and expression of face Mr. Quin*
ness is r thorough actor. la this respect he may
be said to bo trlpled-tongued. Every thought be
utters is not only couched in fitting words, but its
spirit is depicted on his countenance, and influ
ences every gesture of bis body. He has a voice
of great clearness and volume; under complete con
trol, being quite as effective In the plaintive sc
centn of sorrow, as in the thunder tones which, with
& knit brow and flashing-eyo accompaniment, mark
his more boisterous flights. When his delivery
becomes rapid, which it does as he grows more
earnest, he has a habit of placing his tongue to his
lips and inhaling bis breath wltji a sound that is
distinctly heard all over the house. This he should
ondenvor to correct.
His sermon on this occasion was an impressive
appeal to tho sinner; showing the natural es
trangement of-the human hear! from God; that
God’s goodness, great and wonderful as it was
manifested in his works around us, was insufficient
to induce a reconciliation— as an old Irish Bible
exprossed it, a “ Second friendship” between man
and his Maker. Under these circumstances Re
demption had been provided in the shed blood of
His only Son. God did not come to the sinner
with threats and denunciations, but with the gen
tle entreaties, “Bo ye reconciled,” “Believe and
thou shalt have life.” But he could not conclude
without also showing tho result of nor recoiring
Christ by faith. This afforded a fine field f«r the
speaker to employ his powers of graphio descrip
thing*.tfr-Wue, and so for a moment, leav
ing tho gentle invitations of grace, he resorted to
the suasion of hell-firo and eternal torments, which
the damned wore told, prospectively, would be
their lot forever, and that, too, in a place within
hearing distance of the angolio harmonies of hea
von. Mr. Guinness’ description of hell was cha
racteristically glowing; no lee* poetical than those
of Dante, Milton, and Pollok, and no donbt quite
a* Scriptural.
With regard to the past history of the man, it
may be stated that ho waa bora In Dublin, Ireland,
and entered the ministry four year* ago. He has
linco then,. preached with remarkable success
in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and
up to the lime of his sailing for America, took a
prominent part in tho Accent religious movements
in thoso countries. In ono respect he appears
among us under peculiar auspices. Though invited
hero by several ministers of different persuasions, he
is in the strictest sense an Independent. Ho claims
and admits no affinity with any denomination as
such. Ifo never preaches for money, but labors
upon tho principle that the servant of the Lord
should look to the Lord for his hire, and not «tipa
late with societies or individuals to preach so much
Gospel for so much psy. The message he proclaims
is, tbereforo, given “ without money and without
price.” For this reason his preaebiog at home has
been mainly in public balls, in market homes, and
in the open air. Ho is the son of an officer In
tho British army, his mother being the widow of
Captain D’Estere, who was killed in a duel by
Daniel O’Connell.

INTERVIEW WtTII TIIIS WIFB OF JOHN BROWN.—
A correspondent of the Now York Independent
has rccontly had an Interview with tho wifo of
John Brown. Ho describes her as follows:
‘ I conversed with her during tho entire evening.
But only ten minutes’ acquaintance is enough to
show that she is a woman worthy to be tho wife of
such ft inau. She is tall, large, and muscular,
giving the impression at first sight of a frame
capable of great etrength and long endurance.
Her fsco is crave and thoughtful, wearing, even in
this hour other trial, an expression of soberness
rather than of sadness, as if, I.'ke her husband, she
had long since learned how t? suffer and becalm.
Her manner is singularly quiet and retiring, al
though her natural simplicity and modesty cannot
hide tho evident force of character, and strength©!
will and judgment, which luvo fitted her Belong to
ho a counsellor in her husband’s enterprises, and a
supporter in his trials.
“ She is ft nativo of Whitehall, near Lake Cham
plain, and has boon the mother ot thirtoen chil
dren; but notwithstanding tho cares of her nume
rous family, and her many privations and strug
gle?, independent of household burden*, sho still
appears ns fro3h and halo as if sho wero only cow
in tho primo and vigor of Hfo.”
Tho correspondent relates tho following, as a por
tion of the conversation during tho interview:
“ I referred incidentally to tho design upon Har
per's Ferry as having been promeditated for two
years, to whiohshc immediately replied, 4 Not for
two years, but for twenty! Ho had been waiting
twenty years for some opportunity to free tho
slaves; wo had all been wafting with him the pro
per time when ho should put his resolve into action,
and when at last the enterprise of Harper’s Ferry
was planned, we all thought that tho time had now
come; Mr. Brown was aanguino of success ; wo all
wero equally confident; ho had no idea, or did any
of tho family, that the experiment would result in
defeat; we alllookod to it as fulfilling tho hopes
of many yoars.’
“I wrote down theso sentences a few moments af
ter thoy wero uttered, nud as I repented them she
added: „ ,
“ ‘ For ho has borne tho yoke ofthe oppressed a 3
if upon his own neck for theso thirty years.
“ She mado several and repeated references to
various newspaper accounts, in which her hus
band’s character had boon misrepresented. She
had been pained to soo him described as a cruel
ninn, for, ns sho said, ‘ No man over had a kinder
heart. He is generous by naturo. ll© has
always aimed to impress his family with
the spirit of benerelcnco. Ho has always taught
his children to be unselfish; to always act
for others bofore acting for themselves. His sym
pathies for tho poor and tho oppressed have al
ways been too easily excited.*
“I inquired as to his habit of carrying firearms
about his person. Sho caid that, since the many
threats upon his lifo during and since his efforts

A Coxo sessional Plate Code.—Tie Louisrflle
Courier, » paper which warmly advocates the nom
ination of lion. James Guthrie at Charleston, ex
alts over the resolutions adopted at the county
meetings of the Democracy of Kentucky, against
popular sovereignty. Among them is the following
resolution adopted in Caldwell county:
11 Fetolved, That we hold that under the Fede
ral Constitution the Territories are the oommon
property of the Union, belonging to the South
equally with the North; and that Southern men
have the same right to carry their slave* there
Northern men have to take any description or cha
racter of their property; and that when a Terri
torial Legislature fails to pass laws necessary and
adequate to the indiscriminate protection of all
property, it is then the duty of Congress to inter
vene fur its protection.”
On the other hand, the Chlekasahay (Quitman,
Miss.) Advertiser contains the following article,
which is one of the most sensible and fair articles
on the subject which have yet been written:
“ I* there anything more insane than the seal
manifested by ibe advocates of a measure, which
it i? morally impossible to effect, and from which,
if effected, there could rest no possible good to aay
portion of the country? Or can there be any hopes
more forlorn than those entertained by the ad
vocates of Congressional protection, when there is
three-fourths of Congress opposed to granting such
protection?
Bach are the attempts of sensation politicians,
with their vain and impracticable issues, to dis
tract public sentiment, and disturb the peace and
harmony of the country. The question of reopen
ing the African slave trade is another instance of
these extraneous and forced issues, which are only
calculate! to dit ert public attention from its legiti
mate objects. By admitting that Congress would
assume the right, and grant protection to slavery
in the Territories, what ultimate benefit could the
slave-holder derive from such temporary relief,
when perhaps two months after he obtained it, the
Territory would apply for admission into the Union,
with an anti-ilarery Constitution ?
“ There can be nothing more impracticable
absurd than the idea of a slave-holder setting
a plantation in a Territory, which, in twelve months
at most, is to become a free State. Then, as a
question of policy, to say nothing of the usurpa
tion of such an act, would it be expedient, or sub
serving the slave-holder’s interest, for Congrees to
grant him a slave code daring his sojourn in the
Territory, when the people of the Territory, a few
months after, would revoke and set aside sack
smut ? No; sooner, we say, let the people of tha
Territory know under what institution* they are to
live, ana as they are to be the ones ultimately to
decide what their institutions are to be, the sooner
they exercise that prerogative the better for all
parties concerned.
“ But the Opposition say they object to Gnu, on
the grounds of principle, but the principle and
practice will be the same always; always will
thoro be a maj >rity from the free States in every
Territory of the United States that U opened tor
settlement, ot their emigration will always treble
that of the sl&vo States; and if the elimatewill
not justify slave labor, there will always be a free-
Stato Constitution; but if'ibe climate soil
ore such a* to invite slave labor, then they wilt
havo a slavery Constitution—fbr men’s interests
regulate their actions everywhere.
“If the population of Alabama could be trans
ferred to Massachusetts, and that of Massachusetts
to Alabama, we imagine that the institutions of the
two States would undergo no change; and that
Alabama would continue to be a slave State, and
Massachusetts a free State. All the outside and
extraneous influences that can ever be brought to
bear npon the settlement of these questions, can
avail nothing. The people will regulate their own
concerns, and in accordance with the dictates of
their own interest.”
J ekfkrsox Territort.—The Louisville Courier
of the 11th instant says:
“ AFe had the pleasure yesterday of a visit from
Hon. Beverly D. Williams, delegate elect from the
Territory of Jefferson. Mr. AviXliams made the
trip from Denver City to Leavenworth, a distance
of 655 miles, in seven days and nine hours. He
visited the Territory in May last, taking with him
forty wagons, four hundred mules, and one hun
dred and sixty-men and and laid out the
first road for the express company. The present
population of the Territory is about fire thousand;
many of the miners baring returned to the State#,
with the intention of going back in the spring with
their families. About fifteen hundred, amply sup
plied with provisions, will winter at the tnw»ff
“ No doubt whatever exists of the great richness
of the mines, which yield from two to fifteen dol
lars per day. Russell and Nevada gntebet are tha
richest yet discovered. Mr. Williams die wed us
several specimens of scale gold and nuggets.
“ Mr. Williams is a native of Boyle county, Ken
tucky, a gentleman of fioe capacity, and win make
on able and efficient delegate. It is understood
that tho election will be contested by Dr. Will
ing, but we presume with but very little prospect
of success.
•* A provisional Government has been formed, and
a Governor and Legislature hare been elected.
Tho Legislature met on Monday, the 7th ins!.
“ We havo received from Mr. Williams a copy of
the Rocky Mountain jV>w.». published at Anraria
and Denver City, dated November 3d.
“ Tho inhabitants of tho mines will petition Con
gress at it* next session for tho organisation of a
Territorial Government, to be called the Territory
of JeffersoQ. Wo haTC no doubt the Territory will
be promptly organized, and if so. daring the next
spring there will doubtless be a large emigration
to the mines from tho States. ”
Another Homicide.
[From the Smyrna (Del.) Times, J7tb inrt-1
We aro again called upon to chronicle another
serious affair, resulting in death—the killing of a
man named James U. Wilson, by a man named
James Brown—which occurred on Saturday last,
at tho farm-house of Benj. F. Hurloek, near
Green’s mill, in Little Creek Hundred. The facta
of the ease, related to ns by Sewell Green, £».,
are briefly as follows :
A man named William Dennis had a daughter,
between whom and Brown there existed an at
tachment, to which the father objected. The girl,
on account of tho objections at home, left her
father's house and took up her residence with the
family of Manlovo Jones. On Saturday, the de
ceased, with his wife, on returning from Kenton,
stopped at Dennis's and took dinner, when the
latter engnged him to aasist in taking his daughter
home whither, however, she promised to go
peaceably. While she was preparing her clothes
for the return, Wilson started towards his home,
DcnnN the carriage; when about
a hundred yards from the place where the daughter
was, they saw Brown, (wno was charged, though
wrongfully, with baring persuaded the girl to
leave her home), in the barnyard of Mr. Hurloek,
in whoso employ he was. Dennis uttered an angry
exclamation, at the same time banding Wilson a
stick cut for the occasion. The latter immediately
proceeded towards Brown, as also did Dennis.
Wilson struek Brown with the stick, and Dennis
struck him with a stone, when, as Wilson was in
he act of repeating bis blow, Brown caught up a
bean-pole and struck him on the neck, felling him
to tho ground, and producing instant death, he
(Wil.-on) not being seen to move after the fall.
Mr. Green and others were soon on the spot, and
labored for sometime to restore him to life, but
from too beginning there were no signs of return
ing life. There was no appearance of his neck
being dislocated, as was supposed, nor was the
slightest wound produced by the blow, which is
said to have been a light one.
A coroner's inquest was held on Sunday, and'a
verdict rendered that “Mr. Wilson came to his
death on Saturday, the 12th inst.,by a stroke from
a stick or pole in the hands of James Brown, in
self-defence.” Brown and Dennis hare since been
held to bail, each in the sum of $5OO, for their ap
pearance at the next term of court. Wilson and
Brown, we learn, were strangers to each other, and
the former being of a pugnacious disposition, and
under the influence of liquor, must have acted en
tirely at the instigation of Dennis, who was also
inebriated at the time.
It is a very unfortunate affair, though Brown
acted clearly in self-defence, and is said to be uni
formly a peaceable and quiet man.
KrcEmox of Rev. 11. Grattax Gelvxes?.
—At a meeting of ministers, convened in Sansom
street Church lecture room, after the noon prayer
meeting on Friday of last week. Rev. Dr. Vaughan

Pursuant to tho above, tho following preamble
and resolutions were adopted, after the delivery of
Mr. Grattan’s first sermon in America:
Whbrk **» The Rev. H. Grattan Gninnesa, after laK*r
in« with much acceptance among different Evangelical
denominations in Great Britain and Ireland, though not

R<joiceJ, That the preaching of the Gospel to'the

Rtsolvnl* That as the labors of this brother hitherto
have been frequently among the young men of the
citieswhere he has preached, that we do moat affection
ately eshort him to continue these labors among the
young men of our own city, that of the thousands who
are now going down, in almost unbroken ranks, to de
struction many may be saved in the day ofthe J,ord.
Retolvtd. That jiuMnraeh as it is notiatended to con
fine the labors of Mr. Gomneas to any one city, or to
any one denomination, that hereafter the whole matter
of arrangipg time and place for preachmc be referred

the denominations therein represented.
