Simple-Heated lloxestt or A CURST*
MAX. —Rev. Mr. Derwcll, a pious old Meth
odist minister, went from Tennessee to Ken
tucky in 1812, to visit his relative, tbe lion.
Wm. Bolton. Tbe man was not a religious
man, but was a gentleman, and invited the
minister to have family worship every eecn
ing. While he was visiting there. Judge
Cone and his wife, from Nashville, arrived
there to pass the night, and Mr. Bolton, be
ing a little embarrassed, said to tbe minister
as lie bcougbt out the Bible, that he had bet
ter be short, as the judge was probably not
accustomed to such things. “Very well,
very well,” laid he, and reading a single
verse, he knelt down and prayed : “Oh
Lord, we are very poor and needy creature*,
and we know T boti art able to supply all our
wants, bat cousin William #av# that Judge
Gone and his wife, from Nashville, are here,
and are not used to family worshio, and
however needy we arc, there ts no time to
spare in telling our wants. Amen.” The
was taken all aback, and so was cou
sin William. They both pressed the old
gentleman to conduct the services in his own
way, which he did to their gratification.
Miss Fraxob* Piiilax, quite a young la
dy, recently assumed the white veil at the
hands of Archbishop Alemany, at the Pre
sentation Convent, Sun Francisco. A Ibtjc
number of ladies and gentlemen present, ly
invitation, witnessed the ceremony. At
8} o’clock Mass was sung by the Archbish
op assisted by several clergymen. The no
vice, who has been an inmate of the Convert
during the past six months, wi- led by the
Superioress* and Sisterhood into the chapel,

in white ami wearing w reath?, all of whom
carried lighted candles —herself being attir

Mat night
Union Maas Meeting at FanenilHali* i
Bostox, Dec. B.— The Union meet
ing; at Faneuil Hall today was* pre- j
sided over by ex-Governor Lincoln,
assisted by one hundred and twenty
nine Vice Presidents, including four i
ex-Governors of the Mate and six !
Secretaries. The principal business
localities in tbe State were repre- j
sen ted in the organization The
hall was packed in every part,
and many hundreds were unable to
gain admittance.
Kev. M r. Blagden, of the Old South
Church, invoked the Divine bless
ing on the nation, the State, and the
audience assembled.
The President, ex-Governor Lin*
coin, made the opening address, in
which he briefly alluded to the event
which seemed to call for the present
demoristration.
Ten Resolutions were then read,
the third of which is as follows :
Hesolnd, That we look with in
dignation and abhorrence upon the
recent invasion of the Common
wealth of Virginia ; that however
narrow or however comprehensive
was the clandestine and iniquitous
scheme in its instruments or its ex
ecution, it was an undisguised as
sault upon the peace and welfare of
the whole country ; that we deeply
sympathise with the’ people of Vir
ginia in the trying sconces which
they have be. :: called to pass
through, and proffer them and their
civil authorities and those of the
Federal Government, our unfailing
countenance and support in the
maintenance of the laws of the land
and the public peace.
The Gth resolution reads :
Resolved, That the unchangeable
union of these Stales is indispensa
ble to the prosperity and glory of
each, and of all, and even to our con
tinued existence, as a civilised and
enlightened nation, and that in
! league with our patriotic brethren
| throughout the Union we solemnly
pledge ourselves to uphold it with
our lives, our fortunes, and our sa
cred honor.
The 7th resolution declares fealty
to the Constitution, and that we will
faithfully and unreservedly carry
out all its obligations and require
menls.
The Bth resolution declares that
we will discountenance everything
tending to produce alienation offeel
ing between the North and South.
The oth resolution denounces the
apologists for the late raid upon
Virginia and holds as guilty before
God and the country those who in
duce it.
After the resolutions were read
Hon. Edward Everett was introduc
ted and made a lengthy speech.—
He was followed by Hon. Caleb
Cushing.
Letters were read from ex-Presi
dent Pierce, ex-Governor John 11.
Clifford, Prof. Felton, lion. B. F.
Butler, E. I>. Beach, Judge Manton,
B. F. II ailett, and numerous other
prominent citizens of the State. As
a public demonstration the meeting
was one of the greatest that has ever
occurred in New England. The
sentiments uttered by the speakers
called forth repeated marks of ap
proval from the immense audience.
The resolutions were adopted and
the meeting adjourned.

and the children are at school. Now, if there
is a meeting of the family out ever}’ evening,
what time is left for household teaching?—
There is much truth, with perhaps a slight
coloring of exaggeration in the anecdote,
given in a recent serial, of one who had fail
ed iu business, and, when asked what he in
tended to do, replied, “I shall remain at
home a while, and get acquainted with my
family.”
We believe this constant drawing away
from home and home-udluence is demoraliz
ing; and that it is lime Christians should
inquire whether one reason why they do
not grow n; -re rapidly in grace and knowl
edge is not that they are ever hearing and
never meditating on what they hear; ever
running from meeting to meeting, and nev
er at home. Is there not great danger that
“home” inflneno s will lose their charm when
we come there only to eat and sleep, offer
ing. indeed, the morning and evening pray
er, hut never sitting down with the house
hold in the sweet communion and the pre
cious instruction that were always found in
the olden times, when families had some
“evenings at Home.”

Tin* Harper’s Ferry Affair.
We haye, fiom time to time, published
telegraphic rejairts and articles from our ex
change", in relation to the Harper’s Ferry
foray, its inception, progress, murderous re
sults, arrest of many of the outlaws engag
ed in it, and thetr trial. ;.nd f: al execution
on the gallows. Oid J,_, l: m Brown, known
as Ossowattomie Brown, the ringleader, was
hung on Friday the 2nd ir.st., and four of
his accomplices, Shields 6tfH and Jonx
Capelaxd, negroes, and John E. Cook, and
Edwsu Coppie, whites, were hung on Friday
the 10th in at. Two of the party, by the
names of Stephens and Hazlett, are under
arrest, and will be tried next May.
Those who are known to have been en
gaged in this affair, and who mad# their es
cape and have not been arrested, are F. J.
Merriatn, C. P. TiJJ, Barclay Coppie, Ov
en Brown, and a u< g-o by the name of Au
derson. It is generally admitted that An
derson, ('be negro,) Merriam, Tidd, and
Coppie, whites, succeeded in effecting their
escape to Car-ad*; while Owen Brown is
believed to be somewhere in one of the
northern States.
We give a very brief description of those
who were executed :
Old Ossowattomie John Brown was born
on the 9:h < f May, 1800, in Uie State of Con
riecticut. lie was over six feet high, of
slenitr form, and was executed at Charles
town, Ya.. on tbe s -condos December, for
murder, insurrection and treason.
John E. Cook. wa about thirty years old,
ar.d a native of Connecticut He was about
five teet e,g!>t mem s I srh, well educated, and
renpectd>!y cornice eti in family relations;
had light h ,ir and fair complexion, and was
executed on the 16th of December.
Edm Coppie was born in Ohio, was
about twenty lour years old, five feet nine
I inches high, and with a swarthy visage. He
expiated Lis crimes on the gallows in com
pany with his confederate, John E. Cook.
Shields Green was a black negro, about
t twenty two years old. and was bom in the
i Stare of New York.
John Copetind was a mulattonegro. about
I twenty two years old, and was hung at the
same time with his accomplice Green, on
i the 16th of December.
The body of John Brown was taken to his
, former residence at North Elba, in New
York, and was there interred. Coppie and
Cook’s remains were taken to the West, and
tae two negroes were buried near Charles
town.

Adjournment.— The Georgia Leg
islature adjourned, tine die, on the 10th in
stant, having passed some 200 hills, and
leaving several hundred on the table, beside#
those consigned to the “tomb of the capu
lets,” by Executive veto, or otherwise. Very
few acts of a public nature were passed. We
shall continue the list of bills passed, until
the whole is published, though we fear that
it will hardly pay our readers the trouble of
reading.
A Fair Hit!—Prior to the adjourn
ment of the Georgia Legislature, the Hon.
Mr. Tatum, of Dade, moved that 200 blank
veto messages be printed for the usa of the
Governor, which motion, we believe, pre
vailed. Another motion ought to have been
carried, that Joe Brown be authorized to
prepare anew eodificution of the laws of
Georgia, with power to alter and amend,
according to his own superior and immacu
late judgment, and that both branches of
the Legislature be henceforth altogether
abolished, before this “one man power.”
Viva la Humbug !
As we Expected.—By a private let
ter to tbe Editor, from Alabama, we learn
that the bigoted clergy of Montgomery were
at the bottom of the recent legislation of
that State against “Spiritual Manifesta
tions.” Finding that the people, generally,
were rushing to Dr. Redman’s rooms, and
that church members, and even the more
liberal portion of the clergy, were becoming
interested in the demonstrations of the great
fact of immortality, the “Lords Spiritual” I
petitioned the General Assembly to prohibit
all further opening of celestial light to the
benighted children of humanity, and the leg
islators, pliant tools of priestcraft, did as
they were bid, without argument or reason
assigned for their intolerance! So it has
always been. The orthodox clergy, for the
most part, arc the heavy clog* and brakes
on the wheels of progress, even in spiritual
things, and have been, ever since the days i
of the Ephesians, when they amassed wealth
by making silver shrines to the goddess Di
ana !

Congress— No Speaker Yet !
We have received a letter from an able
Representative from the 3d District, which
explains, very satisfactorily, why the South
! ein Americans have not united with the De
mocracy in the election of a Speaker of the
House. 3lr. Hardeman thus sets forth the
facts of the case, and tho reasons for the in
dependent action of the Opposition member#
from the South:
“ We cannot l and it i* daily and hourly
admitted here,) elect Bocock, could we give
him every vote. They (the Democrat#) can
onlv control for their candidate 90 votes.
Add to that our whole vote, 23, and you see
we only have then 113 votes, not enough to
elect; and it has been definitely settled here,
that the moment we go to them, the Anti-
Lecotnpton Democrats, who have been throw
ing their vote# away, will, in order to pre
vent the election of an Administration Dem
! ocrat, vote for Sherman. They have sid
jhis oa the floor, again and again. You
see by the paper I sent you to-day that Fth
ridge, of Tennessee, made a distinct propo
sition that we would go for Bocock. when
ever they could get enough votes, with ours,
to elect him, provided they would agree to
come to one of our party, whenever we
would swell his vote, so that, with them, he
could be elected. But this fair proposition
is indignantly rejected, because we are not
recognized as a party. They surely should
control tbeir own party, before we are called
on to abandon ours, to save their siuking
fortunes. The truth is, every move made by
them has been, not as would be iaferred, not
at the Republicans, but at the Southern Op
positionist*. They wish, by threats, to drive
us’in to the Democratic ranks, and after we
have voted for their man, use it that we
have disorganized our own party.
Every Democrat here admits that our
votes will avail them nothing, unless they
can get some of their own men who are vo
ting against them, and they have no hope
of this, and so admit. Still, they and their
papers charge upon us a delay of the organ
ization. I think an American from the
South or Sherman will le elected. I would
not be surprised to see Mr. Boteler, of Vir
ginia, settled upon as a compromise man.
Briggs, of New York, is as true as steel He
is an eminently conservative man, and will
vote for us to the bitter end.
You now have a little insight into the man
agement of Democratic affairs here. The
first duy of the session the) began an in
flammatory debate upon the slavery ques
tion, intended alorfe for home consumption,
and they are still consuming time, speaking
to empty benches. I have heard the *jleak
ers denounce Sherman as unfit to live and
as unfit to die, and have -ecu them, at the
conclusion of their remark*, arm Sherman
and walk off in eociui glee! So much for
their sincerity and honest indignation.
I tell you tb p-Jiti” ;aus of *h D rr.o
orutic party are making Black Republicans
every day, by menace* and threats, arid the
South will yet learn that their Represent!!
tives, by imprudence, have added fuel o the
flames. The moment you say you are no
Democrat, you are denounced as an enemy
to Southern Rights, and ruled outol South
ern organizations. But enough. I write in
haste. Your, Ac.,
T. HARDEMAN, Ju.”
Macon A Western Railroad.
We are indebted to Isaac Scott, Esq,
President of the Macon A Western Railroad,
for a copy of his Fourteenth Annual Report
to the Company, just published—the fiscal
year closing the last day of November. It
makes the extraordinary exhibit of a Rail
road Comp my out of debt—not owing a
dollar, either of floating or funded indebted
ness, and with a cash balance in the Treas
ury, of $130,541 94. In closing up a sum
mary of tbe results of the twelve years of
his administration, the President says:—
‘ During this whole period, the credit of the
Company has always been maintained.—
More than the entire capital has been paid
back to the Stockholders in Dividends, and
now, at the close of this year, it stands un
encumbered by either floating or funded t
debt, and worth fully its cost to the owners.’
During this time, upwards of three and a
half millions have been collected and disburs
ed under this lunctionary, with a loss of less
than one half one per cent, and a certainty
of the ultimate reclamation of the larger part
of this small deficit. Such illustrations of
judgment, economy, integrity and fidelity in
Railroad management, are beyond all praise.
They are no less an honor to the State and
to the business community, than to the offi
cers of the Company themselves.
From the Report of the Superir.dendent,
Alfred L. Tyler, we see that the Road rc_
cepts for the past year, were : From Pas
sengers, $131,730 95; Freight", $231,973-
15; Mails, $10,201. Total, $373,905 85.
The expenses for the same period were 44
percent, on these faming*, leaving a nett
balance of $209,784 22. The increase iu
the business of tbe Road over last year, a
mounts to $48,073 15. The operations for
the year were conducted without accident,
save the burning of some cotton on freight.
The Report is voluminoii", and exceedingly
minute and thorough in its informat on upon
every point of possib!* inter st to Stockhol
ders. If it fails to satisfy them that their
interests have been dil _'<-.itly studied and
skillfull} - administer! and ’• y will show them
selves more unreasonable than men ten
get to be.— Geo'~'j ; a Telegrop ; , of the 20th.
JnjSU’We publi>h tin- following truth
ful testimony to the condition of souri
ern slaves, from the “Kpisc pal R -
cord, (Chicago, Illinois.) whose editor
attended the late General Convention in
Richmond, Va.
Without entering at all upon the qttes
tion of slavery, we wish to say that af
ter a fortnight spent among the masters
and slaves of Virginia, and seeing the
latter under all circumstances, au 1 in
every condition—in the house and in the
field—in the city and in the country, we
give it as our unqualified opinion that
nine-tenths of the slaves in the Oid Do
minion are tnfini.ely happier and sub
jected to fewer privat is than their free
brethren in ihe North—that, except in
rare, very rare instances, they are, from
motives of interest, if from no other,
treated kindly by their owners or em
ployers. In regard to the slave auc
tions, which occur daily in Richmond—
the largest slave inart in the world, the
number changing hands annually vary
ing from twelve to fifteen thousand—we
are able to say that the slaves, in many
instances, from their love of change and
desire to travel, look forward with pleas
ure to being sold and going South ; and
that mothers are not, as has been rep
resented, often separated from young
children, nor are husbands and wives
separated except in rare instances, such
as the forced sale of a person’s proper
ty who lias failed, by order of the cred>
itors, very often Northern men, who or
der them to be sold in the manner in
which they will realize the largest a
mount.
Our friend went to the tobacco facto
ries also and he says :
In all the manufacturing establish
ments wehave visited,either in England,
Scotland, France, or the northern States,
we have never teen operatives looking
so happy und comfortably as the slave
engaged in pressing tobacco in the Ruh
mond factories. They are generally
found singing or with a broad grin on
their faces. Each has a certain task al
lotted to him for the day, which they of
ten finish by three or four o’clock iu the

Tn k accusation against Dr. J. C. Ayer,
of Lowell, for stabbing R S. Fay, Jr., the
Treasurer of the Middietex Mill*, ha.* been
withdrawn because the prosecutor f< und
that no complaint against him could be ?u
----miued. Tbe fact is that Dr. Ayer merely
defended himself as best he might, with u
penknife be happened to have iu hi* hand,
against a cowardly assault made on him from
behind, with the premeditated intention to
dishonor and punish him for the exposure he
has made, and is making of the wrongs prac
tised by the officers upon our manufacturing
corporations. This community not only up
hold* the Doctor’s successful defence of his
l>erson, but it heartily approves bio course in
publicly denouncing the Titeßarmncle Fam
ily management—tbo abuse of our public
property for private ends. Dr. Ayer’s med
icines, however valuable, .are rot all for
which the masses of our people hold him in
regard.—Boston Hi raid.
For the Georgia Citizen.
“To the Victors Beloug the
Spoils.”
Mr. Editor :—There is not to be found in
the Engltsh language a sentence so full of
ruin and devastation to political morality, as
the one that heads this article.
To whom belongs the “bad eminence’’ of
introducing this principle in the Govern
ment? Let history answer. Let one of
the immortal trio answer. Hear Calhoun,
ns he speaks in 1834, in the Senate of the
United States, and tells the country that the
Democratic party “ was only held together
by the cohesive power of public plunder.” It
was then and there, in reply to Mr. Cal
houn, that a partisan friend of the then ex
isting administration announced the doc
trine that “to the victors belong the spoils.”
From that period, Mr. Editor, is to be dated
the commencement of the political degene
racy and corruption of the present day.
Prior to 1834, the qualifications for office
were, “is he honest, capable and faithful?”
After 1834, the only qualification for ofiice
was, “is he a faithful party man ?” Is he
devoted to the party ? was all that was ne
cessary to be known to secure office. Pas
sive obedience, then, as now, was the order
of the day. All fell down, then, and wor
shipped the political Juggernaut of that
dav, but a few independent, daring and Ro
man spirits. Who were they ? Ihe most
prominent of these were the three immor
tals of the United States—Clay, Calhoun
and Web ster—men who stood above the pos
sibility of price—men who lived alone for
the good of their country.
To return and analyze the doctrine, “To
i the victors belong tbe spoils,” is my pur
! pose. 1 said the Democratic party did in
: troduce, and was responsible for, the past
: and present corruption of the Government.
I will now proceed to prove it.
The first time this terrible principle, “ To
the victors belong the spoils,” was ever an
nounced and carried out, was by a Demo
cratic administration of the Government;
and from that dav to this, this “ time hon
| “ #
! ored” principle of the Democratic party has
been faitbfnlly adhered to. Corruption,
from that day to this, did enter into, and is
in the Government. The result of evciy
election confirms all I say. “To the vic
tors belong the spoils.” Spoils of what?
Spoils of high public duty; spoils of the
solemn responsibility of administering tbe
law; spoils of the powers and attributes of
sovereignty; spoils of the pledges ol rneu;
spoils of oaths made before men and to Hea
ven. How hateful! how full of turpitude!
How terrible the effects of this principle
upon the political morality of the country 1
It has destroyed the moral independence of
the people. Your elections are now scram
bles for office. What is your representative
system, now? It neither represents mind
nor material interest. Personal needs and
j desperate fortunes arc only represented now.
“To the victors belong the spoils.” This
I villainous principle is the end of Demo
j cratic success. It carries the basest ele
ments of interest into the Government. It
makes an obligation. It binds the citizen
to party dictation and party support. What
is the language of the principle? I have
worked in the election ; lam paid; it was
a bargain ; I am tied hand and foot. A
distinguished Statesman said, it made the
political action of the country “mesmeric.”
It takes away from the individual proper,
I personal freedom, and puts him under the
mesmerizer—the caucus, the party. The
caucus of the Democratic party is like a
galvanic battery, and the nominations of
that caucus are the wires that convey the
influence which is to strike those elected
with palsy, or move them to irresponsible,
•galvanic action. The only law of the Dc
mocratic party is this : “ The parly, right
lor wrong.” Public h.mor is distinct from
private worth. Now, according to Demo
cratic principle, a man may be publicly dis
honest, yet privately honest ; that is, it is
right to steal the public money, but very
wrong too atcal private money. Again :
you may use tbe vilest means to succeed in
politics, and the loaders of (he Democratic
party say there is nothing wrong in it.
They say you may do that publicly which,
if done in the private walks of life, would
sink the person doing it so low that no re
pentance would ever raise und put him back
where lie stood before the act was done.
So man is privately honest that is publicly
dishonest. AN’hat is it to be publicly dis
honest ? It is, in plain language, to lie, to
defraud, and to deceive. What is it to be
privately dishonest? It is to lie, defraud
and deceive. Where is the difference be
twixt the two? The tendency of the pres
-1 ent age to political immorality and corrup
tion, is an awful and alarming fact. “To
the victors beloug the spoil*.” The effect
of that doctrine and principle has coma
nigh, if it does not yet bring about, a terri
ble und stupendous catastrophe.
LOWNDES.
Returning Reason in Exgland. —Some
| of the London journals, according to the
New York Express, take a much more na
tional view of the Harper’s Ferry outrage
than the “irrepressible conflict” men in this
country.’ The Morning Herald has an arti
cle on the subject, the substance of which
is this: Slavery is an institution planted in
the South, not by the present generation ol
Southern men, hut by “ we, the people of
England.” The American colonies made an
effort to rid th iuselves of the institution
while they were British colonies, hut British
influence picvauted. And to-day, it is the
same “wo, the people of England,” that is
the main prop and pillar of the same slave
ry—supporting it by buying of it, as it did
lust year, over $100,000,000 worth of slave
s grown cotton, rice and tobacco. Hownin
just, then, how unfair, and above all, how
inconsistent, the Herald suggests, for Exe
ter Hall to be joining in any crusale, or in
any apotliesis of Old Brown.
Excited Southern Feeling against the
North—Northern Traders Compelled
to Return Home. —A speciul telegraphic
dispatch from Washington, to tbe Boston
Traveler, states that thirty-two gentlemen,
agent* of Nw York and Boston houses, ar
rived at the Capital from the South, and re
jKirt the feeling of indignation so great
against the Northerners that they were com
pelled to return and nbundon their business.
These gentlemen have bean known for many
! years as traders iu the Sou ill. They also rc
i port that Northerners of long residence in
the South have been disfigured and driven
from their homes. Eleven business men,
who were on their way South, returned
again, after having reached a station in Vir
ginia, being turned hack by a vigilance com
mittee. They say the feeling in six of the
States through which they have pussed is
very intense aguinst the North, and again*t
the continuance of the Union.

laudanum to overcome waketulness,of which

was sufficient to do its deadly work, and bus
cut off, in the prime of life, a man qualified
