An Italian, Pianori by name, discharged two
pistols at him at the-distance of’from -five "to
ten yards, add had two other loaded pistils
in’ his pocket ready to be discharged, When
he was overpowered and taken prisoner.—
Ptariori, it appears, served in the regiment of
Garibaldi at the siege of Rome. The clrcum
stanqes of the case weieof course thought to
indicate a conspiracy and the hirlng-of a paid
mtirderer, though Piadori says he was actua

a few corps of the allied forces, the main por

interior of the Crimea, defeat if possible the
various armies of the Russians, Cut off the
supplies received bv the garrison of Sevasto
pol, and completely invest the town. No gen

the sed forts, though each night a single sten

A few Words on n

We had intended to say a few words upon i dif
lorodt subject than that which haa occupied us for
soihe weeks past; but that intention, whether good
or bad, has been frustrated. The subject of hunpm
ncTseom of sit ...a; i- u i—
its consideration is a pleasurable thing in which it is
ini possible to grow weary. But all ore not alike
constituted, and nothing i s more certain then that
the patience of readers may not endure with the
zeal of For this reason we thought to
change the subject.
The two great parties that were arc not, and nev
er were the only obstacles in the way of the slave's
emancipation, There is a nondescript class of indi
viduals who, if their absurd twaddle did not influ
ence a certain other class to overlook important con
siderations inseparably connected with Slavery,would
not be wofth the notice of any sensible man- Oc
casionally, one of these individuals sets foot.across
Muaop & Dixon's line, and having seen Slavery ns
it eifsls on onq plantation, slraitwpy conceives that
ho Iras acquired a perfect knowledge of the syslcnt
,and accordingly goes- down on the stool of 1 repent,
aucc at the. confessional, and bewails his former
blindness to the beneficence of the system and the
magnanimity of the slaveholder. They make such
glowing revelations of the cxlatic bliss enjoyed by

But why is (be fVee blank ill-fed and clothed?
Because 1 he'has not recovered IVam ihe abasement of
bis ancestors; because lie is crushed beneath the su
perincumbent weight of caste; because, he is burn
to the worst of fates. North or SoOth^sthe Saxon
under Norman role was bom, to bo collared like s
dog, to be kicked and cuffed like R dog and to be ted
and cared for os a dog! The fide black is only a
nigger !—Thors yotf 'h’svo it.
t The upgrowth ef the Ssxan race after the Nor
man Conquest was not the progress of a generation,
but of centuries. When- freed from the Norman
yoke the Saxon Wab Utile better than the Norman
war-horse, socially and intellectually. He was not
a whit mare intelligent than (he slave at the South.
Before the Conquest be was a rude, uncultivated
being, but daring, jealous of encroachment, impa
tient of restraint, and though by no means far ad
vanced in the arts and sciences, he was neither dull
nor stupid. But after his subjugation and enslave
ment he was remarkable for stupidity and servility.
The Norman habitually addressed him as “Dog of
a Saxon,” and heaped upon him indignities scarcely
equalled by those now heaped' upon the Negro.
What then ? Will any one argoe that the Saxon as
a slave was superior to the Saxon as a freeman, con
trolling tho commerce of tho world, aye, and not
only the commerce, but the destiny of the nations
as he does to-day 7 We presume not.
Tho framer of such an argument strives to im
peach the wisdom and good ness Of tho' Almighty:
lie argues that men are endowed with certain rights
the enjoyment 6f which results In misery. How ab
surdly ridiculous! Such an assumption Is alike in
sulting to reason and common sense. It Is an as
sumption that degrades Character to the
lowest human level-, and then exalts human fore
thought-above Omniscience.
Again, tho existence of misery in Our largo cities
cannot palliate the wrong of Slavery. Is there no
misery in the Southern cities 7 And is misery more

The (insertion thnt there is no aristocracy at the
South, will provoke the contempt of every sensible
man. The Slave Power is at once the mightiest in
istocmcy as well os the most arrogant, in the world.
In no country is the barrier of,caste more jealously
guarded than in the South, and this very oharacter
istic renders emancipation so difficult. Col. Wallace
will do welt to give his correspondent a little neces
sary advice at their next meeting, aud if opportuni

rntnrc Troubles.
The N. Y. Tribune, in anartiele on the
Kansas mischief, thus speculates on the prob
abilities of the future:
But the mischief that is brewing, is not
albino in Kansas. There are deep-laid plots
of treason' to freedom consummating in
Washington. The arch flisunionisf, Jefferson.
Davis, who signalized bis career in the Sen
ate of the United States by advocating an
overthrow pf the Grovernment in case all of
our California acquisition below 86° SOmin
was not surrendered to Slavery by special
stipulation, aspires to the post of Commander
in Chief of the Armjf. He is Mr. Pierce’s
Secretary of War, and a leading man in the
Cabinet. ‘ Thould he achieve his object, all
that we know of his antecedents leads us to
believe that he'would not hesitate to use his
influence to spread Slavery into the West and
North at the point of the bayonet, and if at
tempts were made to resist it in any effective
manner, he would exert all his power to sub
verf the Government. Tbe 'Free States are
surrounded by plots and toils and complica
tions, in respect to tbe subjugation of this
Government by the slaveholders, of which
the people little dreami Next week Col.
Kinney’s expedition to Central America will
sail, in a steamer procured for the purpose,
with every arrangement to overrun am) sub
due the feeble republics of Honduras, Nic
aragua and Costa Rica. When conquered,
their conversation into Slave States will be
auun-accbtirpiisneu. 6 .......
than this, tbe President has ordered a fleet to
the Gulf of Mexico, to bring on a war with
Spain for the possession of Cuba. We aro
approaching the crisis which will decide
whether Slavery or Freedom is to mould the
destinies of, America.
The Slave power is determined to control
the Union and to possess a majority of the
States. They aim not at the economical or
industrial advancement of the nation. They
do not even desire the spread of slavery be
cause of the worth oCthe institution 1 in their
own eyes. On the contrary, it is felt and
known to be the great blight and curse upon
tbe national prosperity; but their purpose in
spreading it is to secure guards and outposts
for the main citadel of slavery in the South.
The slaveholders are determined to cripple
and circumscribe the growth of the Free
Stales, Their action is based upon deliber
ate views of what they' have brought them
selves to 1 believe is the necessity of their sit
uation. They are well fortified at present,
•or have been by Northern doughfaces. They
lean upon Pennsylvania rind Illinois, and oth
er Free Slates, as faithful allies. But they
do not knW haw soon the fires of Northern
independence may' born out the roots of their
power, arid they' aim to be secure against the
time when (liat shall happen. Their-designs
are far reaching and their plots deep. Mean
while the North^—the money-making, busy,
outraged North—secure Inks own tranquili
ty, and prosperity, Slier one spasmodic act of
condemnation for'the atrocity of the Nebras
ka bill, gives symptons of relapsing into a
mere armed neutrality, or what is worse, of
expending its zeal, energy and virtuous in
dignation in disputations and quarrels over the
growihof one among'fifty religious denomi
nations, and the dangers of an increment, by
immigration from-foreign States, of our: free
population.
A Warning to Keep Off.
Thtj Kansas Herald of, Freedom puts
forth the following warning to nil persons
who way be disposed to re-epact, (he scenes

of the Luminary press. 1 '

It appears that for the purtose of arrang-,
ing the compromise, the bees will bo invited
to assemble .in conclave with the spiders in
thq old spider quarters, and jthat the whole
thing is to be done, as if by,spiders, under
their ancient forms of proceeding, and in the
name of spiderdotn so as to like a gen
erous concession on their part, and secure to
spiderdom the whole credit and capital there
by acquired.
Ich. Bins, (the pseudo-nypi of ray said
friend,) ventures several shrewd reflections,
some of which are worthy of record aod.pub
lication at this lime.
BBSXECCIOHS,
“The children of spiders are wiser in their
generation than the children of Bees.”
“The natural vocation of spiders is circum
vention, —the natural infatuation of bees, is
to gel themselves snared in spider’s nets,
their wings nibbled off by spiders, and their
senses chloroformed with spider breath.”
“It ware most commendable wisdom for
bees to have no avoidable copartnership with
spiders—no intercourse beyond mere polite
ness.”
“It is a woste of time for bees and spiders
to negotiate, neither party will beep faith
“The compromise aforesaid is likely to bp
made, or seem lo be made in some form ;
but it can’t work, —both spider law and bee
law are against it, beside (he “baby act,”
which is always good law on one side or lhe
other—ofienest among tho bees, because they
need it oflener-”
- “Judicious bees will eschew compromises
—keep out of spider conclaves—out of spi
der nets, out ol the reach of spider chloro
form, and do their own' work in their own
hive—in the open field—in the pure air—in
the honest sun-sbine. SCIRE -
Thk Violet grows low ari'd covers itself
with its own tears, and of all flowers yields
the most delicious ahd fragrant smell. Such
is humility.
Precipitation ruins the best laid designs.
Whereas, patience ripens the most difficult,
and renders the execution of them easy.
