TUB SANGER PASSED.
Let the Earth be giadl Congress has
adjourned without adopting any degrading
compromise. It has come to its legal end \
it has reached its prime conclusion; it is
functus ojfido ; and the grand old Consti
tution is unspotted with pro-slavery amend
ments I Let the hundreds of thousands
who have nightly gone to their rest
groaning lest the morrow. should bring
tidings of their everlasting disgrace—lest
their representatives at Washington should
cowardly barter away the principles they
were elected to uphold—take heart again,
for the danger zb passed. Manhood still
has its seat in the nation’srouncils. The en
during principles of republican freedom
arc yet graven on the people’s Constitu
tion. Verily the gates of hell shall not
prevail agamst it Now can we offer the
tribute of a fervent gratitude to the Bepub
licansof the XXXVIth Congress. Here
and there a few have fallen, by the way
side. Every storm has its little wrecks—
every furnace yields its Quota of dross—
eveiy battle uncovers a few cowards and
traitors. But the army has been brave and
loyal Manfully have they stood up for
their principles, and manfully have they
won thc_viCtory.
Yet while we accord to them the meed of
praise, fairly earned, posterity will wonder
why the day was ever doubtful Through
the long and painful contest there has been
but one question of vital moment: Shall
slavery be legalized in the Territories?
ShaU the Constitution .recognise property in
man T The American people, by a majority
of two and half millions, have decided at
the ballot bos that slavery shall not be
so legalized—that the Constitution
shall .not so recognize property in
vmm. Why, then, was any controversy
raised about it, after the people’s verdict
had been given? "Why was the question
for a moment entertained by Congress?
Why did not the members indignantly kick
it out of doors? Was ever so direct an in
sult thrust upon ’ the country ? Questions
like these will fill the mind of every reader
of American history when the volume of
1881 is dosed. Let it be recorded, never
theless, that those who watched and wait
ed upon the doings of this Congress, felt an
enormous load removed from their hearts
when it was known that they did not ab
solutely reverse the just decision of the
people. Let it be recorded that
enormous efforts were made, by threats
and promises—threats of disunion and
and bloodshed, promises of power
and profit—to break down the righteous
verdict and to engraft the curse of human
bondage upon our fundamental law. Let
it be recorded, too, as we now joyfully re
cord, that the abomination was utterly de
feated and its advocates put to shame.
Now let us once more have a Goveenmekt
op the United States, and the priceless
boon bequeathed us by the ancestry of
1776 will be transmitted unimpaired, «n
--eompromised, pure as it came into our
hands, to the remotest generations.
EXODUS FB(NS VIRGINIA
A paragraph in one of Richmond
papers says: -
The Richmond Enquirer has private advices
from different parts of the Stale ■which inform
it that & largo number cf the largest slave
holders in Virginia are already making prepa
rations for an exodus. When this prospective
stampede shall once become present and ac
tual, none am predict the extent to •which it
■will be carried. Some opine that some of our
largest and most flourishing agricultural dis
tricts will be left as desolate as the wilderness
of Jamaica. Even if it shall fall far short of
this, it will still involve incalculable damage
to all Our interests. These large slaveholders
comprehend a large quota of the very flower
of our population—representing much of the
wealth, talent, virtue and commanding influ
ence of the State. They will carry away from
ns tntiHnrm of property. They will carry away
from ns what & far mare valuable to the State
i.iinTi property—thousands, and tens of thons
productive iaodr oi- fEe^Sfcifa - "-*—***'•*•■■
If the writers who. lament in the forego
ing language, would turn their attention to
the study of political economy as set forth
in the history of New York and Pennsyl
vania, their grief would perhaps he turned:
into joy, their mourning into congratula
tions. Virginia was once the foremost
State in the Union. In natural advantages
—in pl?m«tp | soil, Tnmfirpiq t geographical
position and harbors—she had the superi
ority over both her great neighboring
States. But from occupying the foremost
rank of States, Virginia is now reduced to
a tenth-rate position, and all her magnifi
cent natural resources lie undeveloped, in
so far as they have not been squandered
by her ruinous and wasteful system of in
voluntary unpaid labor.
The removal of that system, or any por
tion of it, cannot fail in the end to add to
the greatness and wealth of Virginia. Let
her largo slaveholders take no them march
Southward, and their places will soon be
supplied by a free-labor population, with
the institutions and the accompanying
thrift which free labor never fails to bring.
The slaveholder himself, if a man of intel
ligence, refinement and probity, might be
a loss to the State; hut if his place, as well
as that of his hundred or five hundred ser
vile laborers, Is supplied by five hundred
or one thousand persons of the Anglo-Sax
onrace, inspired by its ideas, its civiliza
tion, its energy and its unconquerable de
termination; and if the contact of this.
mass of intelligence and of activity shall
impart some of its own characteristics to
the inert and hopeless poor whites -pf,
Virginia who have been paralyzed by the
presence of Slavery, will not the State be
largely the gainer by the exchange? A
single free school for the benefit of the
children of the poor would be worth more
to Virginia to-day than all the Slaves and
all the Slaveholders of any one of her most
populous counties;.a single manufactory
operated by free, well-paid labor, or a
sing blast-furnace among her mountains of
Iron, would more than compensate for the
threatened exodus, over which the Enquire
cr so sadly laments.' Let such as propose
to remain in Virginia take heart! This is
s world of compensations; and Virginia
will be largely the gainer by the deporta
tion of any considerable number of her
Slave property, even if accompanied by the.
owners, - if their places, as is sure to be .the
case, shall be filled by a. free-labor popula
tion. . ...

—The lonia (Mich.) Gazette states that Rich

ship, has absconded, taking with him pretty
much all the funds of the town, which he had
just collected, amounting to some four thous

from Ohio, advising her that he might never

House, St. Joseph, Mo., on Thursday last.
CoL Mitchell .was well known in the West.
He gained laurels in the Mexican War, in com
mand of the Ist regiment of Ohio volunteers,
and for his bravery-waa made Governor of
Monterey, at the storming of which place he
received a severe wound. After peace, had
been concluded, CoL M. moved West and set*

the time of his death.- He was a native of
North Carolina, and in the 52d year of his age.
—D. B. Tiger, who died at Montreal a few
days ago; occupied a prominent place in the
controversy which led to the Canadian insur
rection of 1837-38. He crossed the Atlantic to
lay the grievances of the Canadians before the
Imperial Parliament When the rebellion
broke out he was seized and imprisoned,
charged with seditions practices. No sooner
was he free to act* again than he regained his
hold upon the popular affections, and was're
turned to Parliament. When Lord Metcalf
quarreled witii hfa Lafontaine-Baldwin cabi
net, Mr. Tiger was asked to take part in the
new government as its Lower Canadian leader,
a task which he accepted. He was raised in
1845.t0 the Legislative Cabinet

to the Some Journal:
“My father, whom 1 had the happiness of

Not to be prolix.
I started out that very morning. -Thefichool

draw up a petition. He used several sheets
of paper before he did it just right
Says hie; “Mr. WUlikins, this ere is a solemn

• Says 1 ‘‘That’s true, but howsomever, I don’t
thfatr it need to commence ‘in the name of
(Tod, Amen,’ which, I take it, belongs to wills
and mortgages, and such solemnities of that
kind.”
Says he, “ Perhaps that is so.” and he took
a fresh sheet of paper. Well, in due time it
was flnfahed, and copied out fair. It set forth,
about right, my semces to the cause, not allu
ding to my pecuniary expenses, which It is not
of my style to make talk about. Then I start
ed ont to procure signatures. Some how or
other Severn I had calculated on didn’t sign.
Among them Squire Moses, who I counted on,
sure.
Says Squire Moses, “ I like you, WUlikins—
bat 1 don’t sign no papers, for that office least

him and select the right man for every office.
He knows Pokeville Is true blue, and will re

about it, and if he asks me about you, I don’t

in my letter, that I should have enclosed a

to lay no temptation before Post Office clerks,
and three cents is three cents. I got no an*

that Sqnire Moses, Simon Squattles, Jethro
Smith, and Joshua Bilkins were all getting up

but personally invite a .contrast between my
self and any of the Smiths, Bil-

who might have done well enough when he

I wrote several letters to Mr. Lincon, mark

Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.
Say si to iny wife,, this was my.aigument;
says I, “ there will be many men wholly unfit
who will go to Washington office-hunting, and
good men should go along.” My wife hung
about my heck, and said something about dis

I wanted tohrlngmy wife, for she might
hare some influence with Mrs. Lincon, but X

gold, and,noteven a chew of tobacco to : be
bought ten miles cast'of Pokeville with Illi
nois money, of which, after ail, I hadn’t much:
so I came alone.
I made ho stop on the way. “The early
bird catches the vermicular,” as Jedediah says,
and I was determined to be in time. I arrived
at Mr. Willard’s Public House here the day be
fore Mr. • Lincon. J. registered, my name -on

privately slipping a ten cent piece into his
hand,** 1 - Please to give me a room eight near
Mr. Lincon’s and do me a favor.” He seemed
astonished a little; and looked at the money.
Says I “neverjnihd young man, that’s for luck

planned on a scale that will not admit of fail

this subject Is .universal and noticeable. The
Mercury bestows much attention upon it; and,
as showing the drift of thought, I. quote the
followingfrom, that paper of this date:
1 “If his [Lincoln’s] declarations'are to be re
lied on, he will attempt to retake the forts
now in - the possession of the Confederate

EFFECT OF SECESSION ABROAD.
Spain and the Southern Confederacy
letter from Horatio J, Ferry.
[Correspondence of the N.T. Evening Post]
Washington, Feb. 2d, 1861-
i Mr. Horatio J. Ferry, the United States
Secretory of Legation at Madrid, whose re
fiistence to the scheme set on foot uy Soule and
others, to annex Cuba, during the administra
tion of Pierce, has given hlmapromlnentplace
in our diplomatic annals, has written along
and interesting letter .to. a Representative in
Congress; on the subject 6t secession and its
effect on the relations of this country with the
nations of ISarope.
I The reader will take pleasure in purnsing
some extracts from the testimony of so intelli
gent and patriotic an observer ■ ot our national
affairs, as regarded by him at a distance from
the scene of tho disorder.

of her admission, setting np a -Southern Re

ed by their'material resources, but by the
sympathies they inspire,- of the amount of hate
which can be concentrated upon them. We.

ocratic institutions has •nothing to do. Purge
us of slave violence and aggression, and our

: Hr. Perry remarks fbxther; that if the North,
abstaining from a war bf coercion, allows the
Cotton States to be the aggressor,the South
is isolated,, deprived or every sympathy and
every resource .in the. good will of other
nations, England will'spit upon. herthe

Southern Trade.

the South meant to cease all intercourse: with
the northern ports, wiU* be surprised to know
that vefiSOlaare-constantly leaving ourwaife

and that the Southern trade is eminently pros

The Charleston correspondent of the N. Y.
JSkening ibd relates the following:
' Upwards of five weeks agojbhere came to
Charleston a young fellow, oetenfclbly repre-,
Renting a mercantile firm on‘the other side of
the Atlantic, intent on the presumed advant
age which might accrue to It’ from free trade.
He put up at one of the two principal hotels,
and availing himself of an introduction to a
feUow-cojualryman, the artist of an Illustrated
newspaper,~obtalned admission to that portion
of society which is accessible to strangers. 1 , I
.saw him thrice,' on successive days, at the race
course, the third time on the stand, to which
only subscribers and accredited strangers are
admitted. On thejbnrth day, however, he did
not-appear, nor, onth j conclusion of-the
races, at the hotel where he had been bidden
to a special dinner, partaken of by one of our
lacing magnates, an editor, the artist afore
said, and others. It subsequently transpired
that our Britisher,* induced by filthy lucre, had
been Indiscreet enoughto write certain letters
.to. a Philadelphia newspaper, becoming in con
sequence, subject" to the surveillance of the
Vigilance Committee; /that within an hour of'
dinner time he had been waited upon by an in
dividual member of it, who advised his imme
diate departure for the' North. Asserting his
innocence, the Englishman obtained this grace,
: that if within a specified number of days he
could clear himself of the charge, he might re
main, during which interim, however, the
Vigilant Insisted on his banishment from
Charleston. He started,' therefore, at once for
Columbia, and it la to be presumed that he ex
perienced .some difficulty in procuring the re
quired vouchers, for he never returned. He

What Capt. Boabdll will Do.
; The New Orleans iu'a long war article,
says:
; “Ifwar be forced upon the South by the in
coming Administration of States,
it will oe the obvious policy of the South to
keep war from her own borders by Invoking
the enemy’s territory. No Southern woman
should hear the discharge of a hostile mnsket;
no interior Southern village should be start
led with the'echoes of a hostile As
the North would endeavor to make the most
of her naval advantages, the South should at
once take steps to get possession of the chief
Northern seaports and harbors, and thus leave
the enemy’s navy without a point d’appui for
its operations, and cut off from, supplies of
men and money, ammunition and provisions,'
and means' of repair. For the South, then, to
construct an adequate war marine would be
only, a question of time; but meanwhile the
privateers, hired from Ncw-England and oth
er shipowners, would form a very effective
substitute. Tins is no visionary project. No
country offers so many vital points of attack
os one that is thickly populated, manufactur
ing, and highly commercial. An ogricnltoral
country, such as most of tbcSouth, is compar
atively invulnerable to invasion. The-dense
population of a large unwalled city augments
its weakness when an enemy has once reached
it. 1 It must be defended atadisiance, If atalL
■ A Southern army, once victorious beyond the
Southern and'in the direction of
Philadelphia, New-Xork and Boston, those
cities would be at its mercy. Commanding
those cities, it would not bo long before the
South would * command the whole Northern
seaboard, and in due time she would command
the sea.”
Haytlen Bmtgatlon,
[From the Boston Journal.]
The brig Mary A. Jones, Capt. Lavender,
which sailed hence yesterday lor Haytl, took
but forty colored emigrants, who go under the
auspices of the “Haytien -Bureau of Emigra
tion,” of which Mr. James Redpath is the
agent. Among the number are families from
Massachusetts, Rhode bland and Connecticut.
Nineteen of the emigrants are- from Charles
ton, 8.- C.r-among them Capt. Craddock,
known as ah expert pilot of that port. These
emigrants are attracted by the offers of the
present government of Hayti to pay the pas
sage of such as are not able to bear that ex
pense, to make grants of land, and to secure
the men from compulsory military service.
They wDI settle mostly in the neighborhood of
St Marks, where they are expected to engage
in the culture of cotton. The same v ess el also
took out nine passengers, of whom six are
colored.
Next Tiling to an Angel upon Forth.
A. gentleman who was walking through
Enigbtsbridge recently, overheard the follow
ing conversation between a man and woman,
who appeared as if just come from some plea
sure trip into the country:
Woman —Blow me, Bill, how tired I do fed.
Pm as miserable, too, as a starved herring.
What a miserable world this is! I wish l°d
- never been born, that I do; and now th ft t lam
bom I wish myself dead again.
Man —Why, Bet, whht’s the matter withyou
now ? What are you grumbling about ?
TTbwian—Why, don’t I tell jer I’m as mis
erable as a rat ?
Jfan—Miserable, indeed! Why, what on
earth would yer have ? You was drunk Mon
day, and you was drunk again Wednesday, and
I’m blessed If you havn’t had pretty near
enough to-day. If that ain’t pleasure enough
for yer, I don’t know what is. I suppose you
wants to be a downright hasgel ’ere upon
earth. —English Hiper.
IN SCATTERS,
B. F. Allen, of Council Bluffs, lowa, lately
brought a suit against B. R, Pegram 'for $12,-
000—the consideration being the charter and
franchises of the Bank of Nebraska. A verdict
was rendered In favor of tho defendant, on the
ground that the Nebraska Bank was not a le
gally constituted institution, and, therefore,
not a proper or legal article of sale.
—The lowa City Reporter says that Qov.
Kirkwood has received several specimens from
Boston of flax cotton of vciy fine quality. A
manufactory of flax straw goods bag been es
tablished at Mount Pleasant.
—A young man. by the name of Mason Eg
gleston, says the the Eau Claire FrceDme. had
his skull broken in on Saturday, by the falling
of a limb while in the pinery. The limb struck
him near the centre of the top of the head and
broke Ids skull into several pieces.
Fatal Accident.—A little boy, son of Ben
jamin F. Belt; near Lyndon, was killed yester
day by the accidental discharge of a gun. The
little fellow, in company with some larger
boys, was attempting to pass a slough or creek
ou the ice, and for some reason the gun was
given into hla hands, which he attempted to
drag across after him, when it was discharged,
the contents passing throngh one ofhis hands
and his breast, killing him instantly.—Mom
eon Sevlind.
Wheat.—Our wheat-fields are everywhere
donning their covering of rich green, and cer
tainly present a beautiful appearance. A great
breadth .of land was sowed in our county last
fell, and the prospects are cheering for a good
yield.. We believe the condition of the people
of Union county is as favorable as that of any
other in the country, yet a good crop of wheat
would do much to relieve many of our fanners
of their* temporary embarrassments, and re
store the good old times of ’oo-C.— Jbnc&oro
(72.) Gazette.
Two Men Asphyxiated by the Choke
damp.—Mr. Christian Relneke, the proprietor
of a dairy, on the Manchester road, near Chou
teau avenue, lately filled a large cistern with
malt, as feed, for his cows. Yesterday morn
ing, a young man in his employ, named Mat
thias Lackner, was ordered to go down into
the cistern to procure the malt. He hod hard
ly reached the bottom before a sense of deep
suffocation overcame him, and he cried for
help. Mr. Christian Relneke, who was stand
ing at the entrance of the cistern, reached his
hand to Matthias, but being unable to raise
him out, he generously jumped into the . malt
to rescue the young man, and was himself im
mediately struck with fatal asphyxia, and fell
to the bottom near Matthias. Help was pro
cured, but too late to remove the two men be
fore life was extinct. Mr. Relneke was carry
ing on a very successful business.— Si, Louie
