Arid newt ye men of the new States of
the South ! You are not of the original
thirteen. The battle had been fought and
won, the rove:mina achieved, and the
Constitution established, before your States
had any existence as States. You came to
a prepared banquet and had scats assign
ed
.fein at table, just as honorable as those
which were filled by older guests. You
have been and are singularly prosperous;
and if any one should deny this, you would
at Once contradict his assertion. You have
bought vast quantities of choice and excel
, lent land at the lowest price;' and if
the public domain has not been lavished
upon you, you yourselves will admit that
- it has been appropriated to your own uses
by a very liberal hand. Amid yet in some
(Obese States--not in all—persons are
found in favor of a dissolution of the- Un
ion, or ofsecession from it. Such opin
ions are expressed even where the gener
al prosperity of the community has been
the most rapidly advanced. In the flour
ishing and interesting State of Mississippi,
for exmnple, there is a large party which
insist that her grievances are intolerable,
that the whole body politic is in a state of
suffering, and all along, and through her
whole extent on the Mississippi, a loud
cry rings that her only remedy is "seces
sion," ..secession." Now, Gentlemen,
what infliction does the State suffer under?
What oppression prostrates her strength
or destroys her happiness ? Before we
can judge of the proper remedy we must
know something of the disease ; and, for
my part, I confess that the real evil exis
ting in 'the case appears to me to be a cer
tain inquietude, or uneasiness, growing out
of a high degree of prosperity and con
sciousneas of wealth and power, which
sometimpa leadsmen to be ready for chang
es, and to push on to still higher elevation.
Uthis be the truth of the matter, the po
litiesl doctors are about right. if the com
plaint spring from overwrought prosperity,
for. tlutt diet-age I have no doubt that seces
sion would prove a sovereign remedy.
But I return to the leading topic on which
I was engaged. In the department of in
vention there have been wonderful applica
tions of science to arts within the last sixty
years. The spacious hall of the Patent Of
fice ie at once the repository and proof of
American inventive art and genius. Their
results are seen in the numerous improve
- manta by which human labor is abridged.
Without going into details, it may be
sufficient to say that many of the applica
tions of steam to locomotion and manufac
tures; of electricity and magnetism to the i
production of mechanical motion ; to the
electric telegraph; to the registration of
astronomical phenomena ; to the art of mul
tiplying engravings; the introduction and
improvement among us of all the important
inventions of the Old World, are strikingly
indicative of this country in the useful arts.
The net-work of railioads and telegraphic
lines by which this vast country is reticula
ted, have not only developed its resources,
but united emphatically, in metallic bands,
all parts of the Union.
The hydraulic works of New York, Phil
adelphia and Boston, surpass in extent and
importauce those of ancient Rome.
But we,have not confined our attention
to the immediate application of science to
the useful sues. We have entered the field
of original research, and have enlarged the
bounds of scieutific knowledge.
Sixty years ago, besides the brilliant dis
coveries of Franklin in electricity, scarcely
any thing had been done among us in the
way of original discovery. Our men of sci
ence were content with repeating the caper
imeuts and diffusing a knowledge of the dis
coveries of the Old World, without attempt
ing to add a single new fact or principle to
the existing stock. Within the last twenty
five or thirty years a remarkable improve
ment has taken place in this respect.. Our
natural history has been explored in all its
branches; our geology has been investiga
ted with results of the highest interest to
practical and theoretical science. Discover
ies have been made in pure chemistry and
electricity, which have received the approba
tion of the world. • The advance which has
been made iu meteorology in this country,
within the last twenty years, is equal to
that made during the same period in all the
world besides.
In 1793 there was not in the United
States an instrument with which a good ob
servation of the heavenly bodies could be
made. There are now instruments at IYash
ington, Cambridge and Cincinnati equal to
those at the best European observatories,
and the original discoveries in astronomy
withiu the last five years in this country,
are among the most brilliant of the age. I
can hardly refrain from saying, in this con
nection, that La Place has been translated,
explained, and in some instances his illus
trations improved, by Bowditch.
Our knowledge of the geography and to
pography of the American continent has
been rapidly extended by the labor and
science of the officers of the United States
army, and discoveries of much interest in
distant seas have resulted from the enter
prise of the navy.
In 1807 a surrey of the coast of the Uni
ted Status was commenced, which at that
time it was supposed no Aine,tic.an was cum
petent to direct. The work has, however,
grown within the last few years, under a
native superintendent, in importance and
extent beyond any enterprise of the kind
ever before attempted.
These lams conclusively prove that a
past &drum has been ma d e among us, not
only in the application of science to the
wants of ordinary life, but to science itself
in its Itqgheat branches—in its application
to satisfy the cravings of the immortal mind.
In respect to literature, with the excep.l
ties of some books of elementary education,
and some theological treatises, of which
rcareely arty bet those of Jonathan Edwards
hare any porotanant value, and some works
on local looter, end polities, like Hutchin
eoe's Atessachnsetta, Jefferson's Notes on
Virginia, the Federalist, Belknap's New
Hasapebtre, and Horse's Geography, and a
Stroe others, America had not produced a
sin& work of say palette in literature.—
We woretdatadit *a ha
;:‘,lloa me Mks mad Testa
' ihr dr ear part, pasted e-
broad. The book trade is now one of the
greatest branches of business, and many
works of standard sable and of high reputa
tion in Europe, as well as at home, have
been produced by American authors in
every department of literary composition.
While the country has been expanding
in dimensions, iu numbers, and in wealth,
the Government has applied a wise forecast
in the adoption of measures necessary, when
the world shall no longer be at pence, to
maintain the national honor, whether by ap
propriate displays of vigor abroad, or by
well adapted means of defence at home.—
A navy, which has so often illustrated our
history by heroic achievements, though re
strained in peaceful times in its operations
to narrow limits, possesses, in its admirable
elements, the means of great and sudden ex
pansion, and is justly looked upon by the
nation as tho right arm of its power; aria
army, still smaller, but not less perfect in
its detail, which has on many a field exhibi
ted the military aptitudes and prowess of
the race, and demonstrated the wisdom
which has presided over its organization
and government.
While the gradual and slow enlargement
of those respective military arms has been
regulated by a jealous watchfulness over the
public treasure, there has, nevertheless,
been freely given all that was needed to per
feet their quality; and each afford the nu
eleus of any enlargement that the public ex-H
igencies may demand, from the millions of
brave hearts and strong arms upon the land
and water.
The navy is the active and ag,gressieeeet
ement • of national defence; and, lettiose
from our own sea-coast, must display its
power in the seas and channels of the ene
my; to do this, it need not be large; and
it can never be large enough to defend by
its presence at home all our ports and har
bors. But, in the absence of the navy,
what can the brave hearts and strong arms)
of the army and militia do against the enc.'
my's line-of-battle ships and steamers, fall-I
ing without notice upon our coast ? What
will guard our cities from tribute, oar mer
chant vesse!s and our navy-yards from con
flagration Here, agaiu ' we see a wise
forecast in the system of defensive mea
sures, which, especially since the close of
the war with Great Britain, has been steadi•
ly followed by our government.
While the perils from which our great
establishments had just escaped were yet
fresh in remembrance, a system of fortifica
tions was begun,
which now, though not
quite complete, fences in our important
points with impassable strength. More
than four thousand cannon they at any mo
ment, within strong and permanent works,
arranged with all the advantages and appli
ances that the art affords, be turned to the
protection of the sea coast, and be served
by the men whose hearths the shelter.—
Happy for us that it is so, since these are
means of security that time alone can sup
ply ! and since the improvements of mari
time warfare, by making digtant expedi
tions easy and speedy, have made them
more probable, and at the same time more
difficult to anticipate and provide against.
The cost of fortifying all the important
points on our whole Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico frontier will not exceed the amount I
expended on the fortifications of Paris.
In this connexion one most important
j
facility in the defence of the country is not I
to be overlooked ; it is the almost instanta
neous rapidity with which the soldiers
of the army, and any number of the militia
corps, may be brought to any point where
a hostile attack may at any time be made or
'threatened.
And this extension of territory, embraced
within the United States; increase of its
population, commerce and manufactures;
development of its resources by canals and
railroads, and rapidity of intercommunica
tion by innumerable steamboats and tele
graphs, has been accomplished without o
verthrow of or danger to the public liber
ties, by any assumption of military power;
and, indeed, without any permanent in
crease of the army, except for the purpose
of frontier defence, and of affording a
slight guard to the public property; or of
the navy, any further than to assure the na
vigator
that in whatsoever sea he shall sail
his ship, be is protected by the stars and
stripes of his country. All this has been
done without the shedding of a drop of
blood, for treason or rebellion. All this,
while systems of popular representation have
regularly been supported in the State gov
ernments, and in the general government;
all, this, while laws, national and state, of
such a character have been passed, and
have been so wisely administered, that I
may stand up here to-day and declare, as I
now do declare, in the face of all the intel
ligent of the age, that for the period which
has elapsed, from the day that Washington
laid the foundation of this Capitol to the
time, there has been no country upon earth
in which life, liberty and property have
been more amply and steadily secured, or
more freely enjoyed, than in these United
States of America. Who is there that will
deny this ? Who is there prepared with a
greater or a better example ? Who is
there that can stand upon the foundation of
facts, acknowledged or proved, and assert
that these, our republican institutions, have
not answered the true ends of government
beyond all precedent in human history.
There is yet another view. There are
still higher considerations. Man is an in
tellectual being, destined to immortality.
There is a spirit iu him, and the breath of
the Almighty bath given him understand
ing. Then only is he tending towards his
own destiny, while he seeks for knowledge
or virtue, for the will of his Maker, and for
just conceptions of his own duty. Of all
important questions, therefore, let this, the
most important of all, be first asked and
first answered : in what country of the in
habitable globe, of great extent and large
population, are the" means of knowledge the
most generally diffused and enjoyed among
the people ? This question admits of one
and only one answer. It is here; it is
hero in these United States ; it is among
the descendants of those who settled at 1
Jamestown;
of those who were pilgrims on
the shore of Plymouth ; and of those other l
races of men, who, in subsequent times, I
have become joined in this great American
family. Let one fact incapable of doubt or'
dispute satisfy every mind on this point.—
The population of the United States is 23,-
000,000. Now, take the map of the con
tinent of Europe and spread it out before
you. Take your scale and your dividers,
and lay off in one area, in any shape you
please, a triangle, square, circle, parallelo
gram, or trapezoid, and of an extent that
shall contain 1 50,000,000 of people, and
there will be found within the United States
more persons who do habitually read and
write than can he embraced within the
of your demarcation.
But there is something even more than
this. Mae is not only an iundlectual, but
be is also a religious being, and his reli
-4iotui hoar and habits require ealtivit
usu.
Let the religiions element in man's na
turn be neglected, let him be influenced by
no higher motives than low self-interest,
and subjected to no stronger restraint than
the limits of civil aathority, and he becomes
the creature of selfish passions or blind fa
naticism.
The spectacle of a nation powerful and
enlightened, but without christian faith, has
been presented, almost within our own
day, as a warning beacon for the nations.
On the other hand, the cultivation of the
religious sentiment represses licentiousness,
incites to general benevolence, and the
practical acknowledgment of the brother
hood of man, inspires respect for law and
order, and gives strength to the whole so
cial fabric, at the same time thatit conducts
the human soul upward to the Author of
its being.
Now, I think it may be stated with truth,
that in no country, in proportion to ita pop
ulation, are there so many benevolent es
tablishments connected with religious in
struction—Bible, Missioisary and Tract So
cieties, supported by public, and private con
tributions—as in our own. There are also
institutions for the education of the blind,
the deaf and dumb ;. of idiots ; for the re-
Iception of orphan and destitute children -•
for moral reform, designed for children and
females respectively; institutions for the
reformation of criminala, not to speak of
those numerous establishments in almost
I every county and town in the United States
for the reception of,, the aged, infirm and des
titute poor, many of whom have fled to our
shores to escape the poverty and wretched
ness of their.condition at home.
In the United States there is no church
establishment or ecclesiastical authority
founded ay Government. PUblie worship
is maintained either by voluntary associa
tions and contributions, or by trusts and
donations of a charitable origin.
Now, I think it safe to say that a greater
portion of the people of the 'United States
attend public worship decently clad, well
behaved, and well seated, than of any otber
country of the civilised world.
Edifices of religion are seen every where.
Their aggregate cost would amount to an
immense sum of motley. They are, in .the
general, kept in good repair, and ocmseora
ted to the purposes OT public worship. In
these edifices the people regularly assemble
on the Sabbath day, which is sacredly set
apart for rest by all classes, from secular
employment, and for religious meditation
and worship, to listen to the reading of the
Hay Scriptures, and discourses from pious
ministers of the several denominations.
This attention to the wants of the intel
lect and of the soul, as manifested by the
voluntary support of schools and colleges,
of - churehes, and benevolent institutions, is
one of the most remarkable characteristics
•of the American people,
not less strikingly
exhibited is the new than in the older set
tlements of the country. -
Ou the spot where the first trees of the
forest - are — MK heir thelog cabins of the
pioneers, are to be seen rising together the
church at d" the school-house. So has it
been from the beginning, and God great
that it niay . thus continue!
"Oa other shores, above their mouldering towns,
In sullen pomp the tall cathedral frowns;
Simple and frail, our lowly temples throw. ;
Their slender shadows on thepathe below
Scarce steals the wind, that sweeps the woodland
track,
The larib'e perfume from the settler's axe,
Ere, like a vision of the morning
His slight framed steeple marks the house of
prayer,
• • • • • • •
Yet Faith's pate hymn, beneath its shelter rude,
Breathes oat se sweetly to the tangled ward,
As where the rays through blazing oriels pour
Oa amble shaft and tessellated door."
Who &en not admit that this unparallel
ed growth of prosperity and renown is the
result, under Providence, of the Union of
these States, under a general Constitution,
which guaranties to each State a republican
form of government, and to every man the
enjoyment of life, liberty, 'and the pursuit
of happiness, free from civil tyranny or ec
clesiastical domination?
To bring home this ides to the present
occasion, who 'does not feel that, when Pres
ident Washington laid Lis baud ou the
foundation of the first capitol building, he
performed a great work of perpetuation of
the Union and the Constitution L Who
does not feel that this seat of the General
Government, healthful in its situation, cen
tral in its position, near the mountains from
whence gush springs of wonderful virtue,
teeming with Nature's richest products, and
yet not far from the bays and the great es
tuaries of the sea, easily accessible and gen
erally agreeable in climate and association,
does give strength to the Union of these
States ? that this city, bearing an immortal
name, with its broad streets and avenues;
its public squares and magnificent edifices
pf the General Government, erected for the
purposes of carrying on within them the
important business of the several depart
merits; for the reception of wonderful and
curious inventions; the preservation of the
records of American learning and genius;
of extensive collections of the products of' .
nature and art, brought hither for study and
comparison from all parts of the world; '
adorned with numerous churches, and sprin
kled over, I am happy to say, with many
public schools, where all children of the
city, without distinction, are inlivided with
the means of obtaining a good education,
where there are academies aud colleges, pro
fessional schools and publio libraries should
continue to receive, as it has heretofore re
ceived, the fostering care of Congress, and
should be regarded as the permanent seat
of the National Government. Here, toora
citizen of the great republic of letters a re
public which knows not the metes and bounds
of political geography, has indicated pro
phetically his conviction that America is to
exercise a wide and powerful influence in
the intellectual world, and therefore has
founded iu this city, as a commanding posi
tion in the field of science and literature,
and has placed under the guardianship of
the Goverument, an institution "for the in
crease and diffusion of knowledge among
men "
With each succeeding year, pew interest
is added to the spot; it becomes connected
with all the historical associations of our
country, with her statesmen and her orators,
and, alas its cemetery is annually enriched
with the ashes of her chosen sons.
Before us is the broad and beautiful river,
separating twonf the original thirteen States,
and which a late President„a man of &Niro
mined purpose and inflexible will, but pa
triotic heart, desired to span with arches Of
ever-enduring granite, symbolical of the
firmly cemented union of the North and
South. That President was Gen. Jackson.
On its banks repose the ashes of the Fa
ther of his Country, and at our side, by a
singular felicity of position overlooking the
city which he designed, and which bears his
name, rises to his memory the marble col
umn, sublime in its simple, grandeur, and
fitly intended to reach a loftier height than
any similar structure on the surface of the
whole earth.
Let the votive offerings of his grateful
l countrymen be freely contributed to carry
higher and still higher this monument.—
May I say, an on another occasion, "Let it
rise; let it rise, till it meet the sun in his
.coming; let the earliest light of the morn
ing gild it, and parting day linger and play
on its summit !"
Fellow-citizens, what contemplations are
awakened in our minds as we assemble here
to re-enact a scene like that performed by,
Washington ! Methinks I see his venera
ble form now before we; as presented in the
glorious statue by Hoodoo, now in the cap
itol of Virginia. He isdignified and grave;
but concern and anxiety seem to soften the
lineaments of his countenance. The gov
ernment over which he presides is- yet in
the crisis of eXperiment Not free from
troubles at home, he sees the world in com
motion and in arms all ground him. He,
sees that imposing foreign powers are half
disposed to try the strength of the recently
established American Government. We
perceive that mighty thoughts, mingled with
fears as well 'as with hopes, are struggling,
within him. He beads a short procession
over these then naked fields; be crosses;
yonder stream on a fallen tree; he ascends
to the top of this eminence, whose original
oaks of the forest stand as thick around him
as if the spot had been devoted to Druidical
worship, and here he performs the appoint
ed duty of the day.
And now, fellow-citizens, if this vision
were a re ality; if Washington actually
were now amongst us, and if he could draw
around him the shades of the great public
men of his own days, patriots and warriors,
orators and statesmen, and were to address
us in their presence, would he not say to
us, "Ye men of this generation, I rejoice
and thank God for being able to see thet
our labors and toile and sacrifices were not
in vain. You•are prosperous, you are hap
py, you are grateful; the fire of liberty
burns brightly and steadily in your hearts,
while non , and LAW restrain it from burst
ing forth in wild and destructive conflagra
tion. Cheriali liberty, as you love it; che
rish its securities, as you wish to preserve
it. Maintain the Constitution which we
labored so painfully to establish, and which
has been to you such a source of inestima
ble blessings. So shall the whole Eastern
World follow the morning sun to contem
[ plate you as a nation; so shall all genera
tions honor you as they honor us; and so
shall the Almighty Power which so gra
ciously protected us, and which now pro
tects you, shower its everlasting blessings
upon you and your posterity."
Great father of your country ! we heed
your words • we feel their force as if you
now -uttere d them /pith life of flesh and
blood. Your example teaches us; your af
feetionate addresses teach us ; your public
life teaches us your sense of the value of
the blessings of the Union. Those bles
sings our fathers have tasted, and we have
tasted, and still taste. Nor do we intend
that those who come after us shall be de
nied the- same high fruition. Our honor
as well as our happiness is concerned.—
; We cannot, we dare not, we will not.betray
our sacred trust. We will not filch from
posterity the treasure placed' in our hands
to 'be transmitted to other generations.—
' The bow that gilds the clouds in the
heavens; the pillars that uphold the firma
ment, may disappear and fall away in the
hour appointed by the will of God ; but un
til that day comes, or so long as our lives
may last, no ruthless hand shall undermine
that bright arch of Union and Liberty which
spans the continent from Washington to
California.
Fellow-citizens, we must sometimes be
r tolerant to folly, and patient at the sight of
the extreme waywardness of men ; but I
oonfess that when I reflect on the renown
I of our past history, on our present prosper
ity and greatness, and on what the future
hath yet to unfold ; and when I see that
there are men who can find in all this no
' thing good, nothing valuable, nothing tru
ly glorious, I feel that all' their reason
has fled away from them, nod left the en
tire control over their judgment and their
actions to insane folly and fanaticism; and
more than all, fellow-citizens, if the purpo
ses of fanatics and disunionists shOuld.be
accomplished, tVe patriotic and intelligent
of our generation would seek to hide them
selves from the scorn of the world, and go
about to find dishonorable graves.
Fellow.eitizens, take courage ; be of
good cheer. We shall come to no such ig
noble end. We shall live, and not die.—
During the period allotted to our several
lives we shall continue to rejoice in the re
turn of this anniversary. The ill-omened
sounds of fanaticism will be hushed; the
ghastly • spectres of seta/aims and disunion
will disappear, and 'the enemies of united',
constitutional liberty, if their hatred cannot
be appeased, may prepare to sere their eye
balls as they behold, the steady flight of the'
American Eagle, on his burnished wings,'
for years and years to come.
President Fillmore, it is your singularly
good fortune to perform an act such as that
which the earliest of your predecessors per
formed fifty-eight years age. Yon stand
where he stood ; you lay your hand on the
corner-stone of a building designed greatly
to extend that whose corner - stone he laid.
Changed, changed is every thing around.—
The same sun, indeed, shone upon his head
which now shines upon 'yours. The game
broad river rolled at his feet, and bathes his
last resting-place, that now rolls at yours.
But the site of this city was then mainly
an open field. Streets and avenues hale
since been laid out and completed, squares
and public grounds enclosed and ornament
ed, until the city which bears his name, alp.
though comparatively inconsiderable in
numbers and wealth, has become quite fit
to be the seat of government of a great and
united people.
Sir,
may the consequences of the duty
which you perform so auspiciously to-day
equal those which flowed from his act.—
Nor this only; may the principles of your
administration, and the wisdom of your po
litical conduct, be such as that the world of
the present day, and all history hereafter,
may be at no loss to perceive what example
you have made your study.
Fellow-citizens, I now bring this address
to a close, by expressing to you, in the
words of the great Roman Orator, the deep
est wish of my heart, and which I know
deeply penetrates the hearts of all who
hear me : "Duo modo lame opto ; unum,
ut tooriens populean Rcnnanum liberal,' re
liNuam ; hoc mihi magus a diis immortali
bus dart nihil potent : altorum, ut ita coi
gne eveniat, ut do republic& quisque mere
atur.'
And now, fellow-citizens, with hearts
void of, hatred, envy and malice towards
our own oountrymen, or any of them, or
towards the subjects or citizens of other Go
vernments, or towards any member of the
great family of man; but exulting, never
theless, In our Own peace, zeourity and
hippiness, in the grateful reoollection of the
puo, and the glorious hopes of the future,
let%e return to our homes, and with all lin
;
mility and devotion offer our thanks to 'the
Father of all our mercies, political, social
and religious.
T THE WHIGS OF MASSACHU.
SETIB THINK OF OUR STATE CON.
VENTION.
. The Boston Atlas—the organ of the
Whigs of Massachusetts--in an anici e.on
the Pennsylvania Whig Convention, thus
refers to the platform laid down at that
time :
"The Whig Convention in Penneylvan
is laid down a platform, admirable in ev
ery part, and upon it every man who is a
Union man, every man who is an Ameri
can, and who desires to see the Constitu
tion and the laws maintained, can stand
firm and erect. It is this fact which trou
bles the Union and its free trade allies.,
They know that by the defeat of Wu, F.l
.1011 . 111170,1 • they break down a strong bur
-1 rier to their future schemes of national'suc
cess, and that his re-election will be to
(hens what the “Bodoch Glass" was "to
the eons of bor,"—the forerunner of mis
fortune and defeat. The contest in Penn
aylvania will be continued, we have no
doubt, as it has been commenced ; the
most unwarrantable misrepresentations
will be resorted to by the enemies of Whig .
measures and Whig success. Of argu
ment they have none to offer, and therefore
they will try to operate upon the fears of
the timid, and the cupidity of the selfish,
by holding up the Whig candidate as dis
loyal to the Constitution and the laws.--
But we feel the deepest confidence that
charges thus devoid of even the semblance
of truth, must and, will recoil upon their
authors,. and that the means by which!
they hope to gain a victory, will in the end
return upon them like bloody inst.ructions,
to plague the inventor."
The article from which we extract the
above is long and able. It is cheering
throughout and shows that the Whigs of
Pennsylvania go into this contest with the
sympathy and warm hopes of the gallant
Whigs of the Old Bay State. What Whig
will be content with doing less than his
whole duty when a victory now will en
sure. a Whig victory next year when a
President is to be selected
SINGULAR AND TERRIBLII ACC/DENT.
We learn iron the Reading Adler, thettiar
ticulars of an extraordinary accident which
occurred on Saturday, the 21st ult., in
Bern township, Berke county. Mr. Eli
sha Davis, a large man, weighing about
200 pounds, and 80 years of age, was en
gaged in making a small hay-stack, and
before he quite finished, cast over the side
a pitch fork, with a handle of the ordinary
length, which stood upwright against the
Stack. After completing hit work, he de

fortunately alighted at the very place where
the fork was standingolie handle of which
pierced his body between the legs, and
penetrated into Me stomach about 17 inch
es, until it toadied Me breast bone !
There was no one present at the time but
a small boy, who endeavored to draw the
handle out of the wound with one hand,
but not succeeding, he .afterwards took 1
hold with both hands, and by exerting
himself to the utmost of his strength,
led it out. The wounded man, in excru
ciating pain, walked some distance towards
his dwelling alone, when a neighbor sip—
proached, and assisted him home. The
handle oldie fort was about 1 inches
thick, and sawed off blunt at the end which
pierced him. Dr. Spartz was called in to
attend him, and what is almost incredible
to relate, he has so far improved as to be
out of danger.
EXTRAORDINARY CARR,—.We find re.
vealed in the Upland (Pa) Union the fol
lowing marvelous ease:
About six weeks since John H. Taylor,
of Edgmont, in this county. was severely
wounded by the bursting of his gun. The
breech blew out, struck him on the fore
head, between the corner of the eye and
the nose, making a wound that was for say
eral days considered dangerous. He re
covered slowly. and was able to go about
upon his farm and give directions about
his business.
On Wednesday or thursday of last week,
Dr. Aitken discovered that the breech of
the gun was in Mr. Taylor's forehead,
having passed in below the region of the
brain. Doctors Gregg and Huddleson
were called. and the three physicians,
after a severe effort by the use of the for
ceps, extracted the iron, which was near
ly three inches in length, half an inch
thick, and varying from three quarters to
an inch in breadth. The removing of the
iron was a severe operation for the pa
tient ; but we learn since that he is more
comlor able than before. and improving in
strength. Mr. Taylor's escape from in
stant death comes within the miraculous,
and the long continuance of such a mass
of iron in his head, go near the brain. is
almost incredible, but it is most certainly
true.
SLAVERY AND STATE Laws.—The cue
of Alberti, who was convicted in the Crim
nal Sessions of Philadelphia, for kidnap.
ping egad belonking to an alleged, fugi
tive slave, is to be brought before the Su
preme Court, and the Attorney General of
Maryland,-Mr. Brent, has been authorized
to institute proceedings. The question
will then be decided whether a child born
in a free State, of a fugitive stave, inherits
the condition of it mother. The question
is an interesting one, and if the Maryland
view of the case is sustained, our laws, or
the decisione under them, will have to be
altered. The mother, in this case, being
seized by Alberti, roused to go without
her child. and so he carried them both off.
Judge Parsons animadverted in strong
terms upon the conduct of Alberti, and on
his conviction gave him a severe sentence,
ten years, to the penitentiary. He also
intimated that if he had been indicted for
carrying off the woman, lie would also
have deserved conviction from his neg.
leeting, we' presume, the legal forms which
the law requires in such cases.

45,000 gallons were sold in the markets, besides
several hundred gallons that were sold by straw

they pursue other avocations ; and thus change

—On Friday, a boy but II years of age,
1 was convicted in Baltimore City Court, o
murder in the first
,tlegree.. The murder
was one of intent, and not the result of an
accidental blow, and the jury, with the
evidence of a dear intent to kill could not
do otherwise than convict him capital.
lv. The prisoner, George Long. who
killed the little boy George Humid; his
junior by some two years, did not seem to
know what was going on around him, but
amused himself daring the trial catching
files and scratchiiig its head, and some-
times falling off in a dose, with his head
against the bar. He seemed to think the
trial a very dull affair, and did not seem to
understand the effect of the verdict. The
Jury and Attorney general. all well Si the
Court, immediately, however, joined in a
recommendation to the Governor to corn-
Mute Ilia sentence to imprisonment for
life—sll agreeing that he should be put out
of the way of an opportunity or again ex
ercising his bloody propensities.
