II ' w as told to leave the )ucq, but he declined. Some said, "Hang bin!" "Tar and feather him!" Rule him on a rail!" Others, more modi rute, proposed to 'end him from town All were in favor of lis leaving; anil those that were the (eael excited advised him lo leave, lie wns asked where be was from; be answered, "Massmbusctts." 1 saw him leave the crowd, and go V the I hotel. Soon he came oul and wulked pist the crowd, go ng in tic direction of the de- ! pot. The leader of the mob, vho(l wsttold) was the Sheriff, swore he anou'd not leave ! the tow n, and w ent in chasf pi him, tallow ed by several others. Not knowing what they might do, I coucladed to follow, aid if I could be ul ui v servicr to tender it, be ap pearing to be a strang.r as veil oa myself. I On my w ay I passed some young ladies , students uf tho Female College. They In qui red what was the matter. I answered, "They ssy I here is an Abolitionist in town." Berne exclaimed, "Tar and feather him!'1 Others, "Hide him on a rai'!" I passed on, and found him in trout of a minister's dwell ing. As soon as 1 srriv.i', I lo'd ibe leader I wished to speak with nfl a moment He aaid, "if it was a 'unlit that ifrn, he would not hear it.1' At this point til man broke, and they after him.

And the recollection of our readers will boat w itness with ours that no portion of tin Union is more moral or more exempt from sanguinary crime than those two St ilea. The chiunpior. of Hang ing is welcome to nu intstn that thtlf moral ity is ciiuse ur consequence of the if diu-eof llie (i allows, as be shall see fit. Michigan was the pioneer State of the Fr e West In the abolition of Hanging. Bight years ago her Legislators eracled its down fall. Immediately thereafter, atreiiu ms ef forts were made to i estore It impelled we : regret to say, by clergymen. But they di I not prevail, and the S'ate has never recoil ed from her advance movement. During the eight years in which her luwshnve utterly ig nored the rule of blood for blood, her popula tion hat averaged some Four Hundred Thou 1 sand; it is in w over Half a Million. Fifteen lives have been feloniously taken within her 'jurisdiction during these eight yenrt; or, at Ihe rate of one per annum for every 'J 1 3 000 of population. In thai CKyt ihe aum oar of human lives feloniously taken exceeds in each year tboae thus taken in Michig.in.with ; a population nearly equal to that of oui City, in the entire periud of e;ght years. And Michigan, though she ha but one large city, has a very full share of Foreign b rn and of ; rude border population miners, pioneers, ietferlng men, Sic We think these facts clearly ebtiblish the' lafttjfut aboli.-hlng the Hallow-. We do not suppose that men will wholiy cease to kill where the Slate ceaaet to hang; we only in sist that no more murders occur because of this abstinence from legal blood-thcdding. And if it be safe to leave man-killing to fel ons, who would n it preler to httve his cbtl dien grow up where the air is never polluted by the spectacle of a gallows bearing its hor rible fruit where the lesson of revenge il never taught by the legal exaction of life for life! The iate Election changed llie political as cendancy in Michigan turned out the pur'y w hich had abolish 'd the gtllowe, and instal led their old adversaries, from Whole ranks the cry for a restoration of legal homicide had mainly if n It wholly arisen. A leading Whig bid i tor thereupon raised the standard of repeal of the humane and humanizing sta tute. But it met with no response from the People nor from the Leg'slature' Not even a show of support for the moment could be got un in either House no report in its fa vor not even a bill. We believe one Sena tor and five Representatives wore t he full extent ot the lorce that, could have been mustered for Rope I had there been anybody to lead tbe forlorn hope. Bui the project fell still-born; und we presume there will ne ver again be a serious effort mailt in Michi gan for the restoration of the Callows: In Indiana, a recent Legislature guve lo each Jurv in a capital esse the power of ad judging u convict to the Callows or the State lrn.oi in avrtfJ .liny should lilt HO, proper. We haven't yet heard of any one sentenced to be bung under this rule, and do not expect to. We do net approve ol this mode of pitching tbe old machine uverbuaid, but none can doubt tbut it indicates the set ut tho current N. Y. Tribune.

We learn from tbe Alton Courier, the editor ot which paper hu recently made a trip across the i .iuti.il portion of Illinois, that, "however short ike crops might have been last year, it has not deterred the farmers of the Stute from seising every portion of favorable lime during Ihe fall for towing their wheal, and the re sult shows that there are at lean twenty per cent, more acrea now in wheal than in any previousyear.

Correspondence of Baltimore American. I Ah Excellent Isvemtiox. Mr. Edwards Campbell, ol Columbus, Ohio, bus made ap plication for a new patent for a new inven tion that we regard of very g'reut utility and j importance. It is a process of making a bond of union hstween cast iron at a voryhigh temperature and 'gluts in a atate of fusion. The purpose to which Mr. Campbell has ap plied tbia invention, and with which it is as- oj-iuCd in iiis cli.i n, is that of in king of glass I the inu''?,iur of ibe boxes in which the axles I o die wheels of carriages and machinery are to relolve. The cdvaatagea of glass for this , , purpose have, long been 'indertood, but we ! , belitve a means of applying 'l lias not here I tofure been known. It retains a tmooth iiurfico, nnd wears but little by friction, and! greoter uceuruiy can therefore be preterved; 1 it requir s but little lubrica'ion.as its temper-1 ! ature it not materially increased by the fric-' tion that would render any of the metals in- I tensely hut: it is economical, costing even I less then cast iron; and, from all these cause', it is a safer reliance than other agencies. I The tests tu which the specimen we have seen lias been snojected at once convinced 1 us thut glass thus embeded in iron could tus- j tain ex'raordinary pressure nnd tho mist; powerful b'oWV but a doubl arose in relutiun l i the inequality in the contraction and ex pension of the twj metals, by sudden changes in their temperature. Iron, however, expan.is' and contracts by heat far more than gl tss, 1 and ihe casl-iron box, being expanded to its utmost when the gluss congeals, all its after tendency by this means mu.t necessarily be I to embrace the glass within it; and this glass i being in the form of an arch, with its busts snd apex both embraced by the iron, it can1 yielJ to no power that is not capable of lit- erally crushing il to powder. i Mr- Cu npbell utTirms that he can at once proceed to the manufacture of those b x -s, ol ull sizes, fruin the fourth of an inch to liventy inches in diameter. They will no d- hi bejirmpily brought inti ms tor all kinds , of machinery and carriages; but it is upon the j railroad thut their advantiget will be m nt highly appreciated, tor it it there that hu-1 mr.n life must dependsupon the accuracy and reliability of every part of the siructu e in w hich we journey at such luriuus speed. ffjt.
