Tlte Xcw York corrcspomlfiit of the
Xcw Orleans Crescent gives the following
drscridioii of George Law: " If Hiiytliing
don't pur, George Law respectfully drojw
it. He now owns nine-tenths of the Ei''lilli-
trcnue railroad, v liich tilone is an income
of i prince, and growing more vnluuUe
every dnr. IIo also owns nenrly u II the
stock of the Ninth-avenue, which, when
completed, will run from the- Buttery
througli Greenwich street to the Ninth'
avenue, and thence to Ilurlem river a nine
mile concern. Hnlf the ferries belong to
Law. IIo owns tho Dry-dock Dank, nnd
the Bank owns uliottt forty acres of docks,
houses and lunds almost in the heart of the
city. Law owns the Stntcn Islnnd furry
boats and two miles of water front, nearest
Xcw York, that in a few years will be
worth for docks ten millions, lie really
onus tho Flushing ruilroad, and heaven
knows how much more ho owns. That im
"mense thinking brain keeps accumulating.
I don't think lie goes into large operations
now for the purpose of making money, I
think he works to keep from stagnating.
Though not a politician, ho wields a very
powerful influence upon politics, especially
npon local ufl'airs. Most persons have an
idea that he is an old man. Xo stndi thing.
He is only fifty-one years old, nnd possesses
one of those vigorous constitutions that will
lust him forty-nine years longer."
The Way to stoi Di'klu.vg. If every

when such tragedies as that in which Sena

The Chicago Tribune revives the history of
the first and last duel ever fought in that
State. In the year 1820, Alphonso Stew
art and William Bennett fought with rifles
in St. Clair county, nnd Stewart fell mor
tally wounded on tho first fire. Bennett
Dixie his escape into Arkansas where he
remained two years. Ilis whereabouts was
discovered, ho was arrested, brought back,
mdicted, tried, connicfed of murder and er.
'tuted. Bond, who was then Governor of
Illinois, was constantly besieged by the
Wends of Bennett and the advocates of the
"gentlemen's code," who prayed for his
pardon. But tho Governor turned a dear

Mr. Editor; Foriererul weeks pnst I
have heard of a negotiutiou said to be go
ing on between the leaders of tho Ilcpubli
can pnrty and of the Bush, Xcsmith, nnd
G rover faction of the Sham Democracy, to
effect a coalition In the coming spring elec
tions which shall defeat Jo Lime and Delu
sion Smith, and elect a Republican nnd
some Butdiite to the U. S. Senate. I am
assured thnt the Bushites huve actually of
fered tins plan of the campaign, with a
little )ror'o that the Republican Senator
must be David Logan. Who of the Re
publican lenders have been entrusted with
this precious piece of Information, or how
the voting is to be done, whether by an
oticn coalition ticket or all in the nuiuo of
the Slinms, I am not informed.
It would be well enough, in the outset
of such a joint-stock concern, to know, nt
least, one thing, which is, that although we
Republicans have prominent men In our
ranks whom you may term educators or
lenders, yet every man thinks for himself.
Thcro is no man or set of men in the
Republican party authorized to cnunciute
principles, concoct measures, or construct
platforms for the party, much less to nego
tiate such a silly bargain as this I have
mentioned.
It is said thnt "whatever Bush will
ngrce to, will be nil right with his men."
This may be so, but what a pitiable condi
tion of mind it discloses. Surely Bush
meunt something when he spoke of '.
ical rxcreiiienl."
Suppose tho writings drawn nnd signed,
would tho contract be carried out in good
faith? How do we know that Bush would
not electioneer for Logan nnd vote for
Stout, ns he did last spring? For my pnrt,
I should not like to enter into a compact
with persons who ure known to be guilty
of such political eccentricities. I nth in
favor of labor-saving machines and liko ad
vantages generally, but these do not in
clude those mixnnmod advantages which
arc sure to compromise a party and its
cherished principles. Our duty and policy
are plain. With the facts and c.pericnccs
of the nation for the last quarter of a cen
tury nt our disposal, we can no doubt con
vince pttliPc mind of tho necessity of free
ing the Government from the control of
the slave-driving Democracy if wo expect
to perpetuate our free institutions.

Salkji, Dec. 24, 1859.
R. M. May was appointed chairman and
M. Myers secretary.
On motion, the chair appointed C. Hod,
G. I. Newell, nnd J. Cartwright a com
mittee to furnish resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting. " ;
The committee reported the following,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That the practicability of put
ting a line of steamboats upon the Willam
ette river, to be owned and controlled for
the purpose or lowering the present uih
rates of freight, may bo considered under
the following views:
1. High freights prevent the exportation
of large quantities of produce, causing the
oss of tho otherwise proceeds of that
amount to the country.
2. Ihcy prevent the raising of large
quantities of wheat nnd other produce,
thereby putting tho balance or trade
against the country in advance. This is
evident, because whenever our farmers be-
como satisfied by the experience of the
present that they realize three cents less
per bushel than cost of production, they
will raise less the ensuing year by thou
sands of bushels. High freights cause this
result by increasing the cost of the iron in the
farmer's plow, in his wagon, nnd of every
rtiele of clothing lie wears, and ot the su
gar, coffee, tobacco, nnd foreign whisky he
uses whilo engaged in producing the wheat,
nd Ctmily by taxing more for carrying the
wheat off than it is worth. Low freights
(the same holds true of other non-specula
tions) will teud to remedy these evils.
3. The interests of the working men of
our country require that they protect them-
lves as well lor the nohle purpose ot ae-
.. -'inirt? intelliirence. (rood morals, and gen-
uine'man;;,""., ' tar the dollars and cents.
To degradation is i.'; tendency of that peo
ple who submit to known wrong, whether
it be the tyranny of common government or
the unjust rule of monopoly In Steam
boating. Next: The difficulliet in the waif of a
company arrangement :
1. Men generally are anxions to see
something done for the good of the country,
but are not prompt to do their part; they
prefer to wait " to see how the thing will
work" before they take hold; they are
afraid to net in a new enterprise for fenr it
may not succeed; they have not the moral
courage to hate their names "mixed up"
with the matter till it shall have become
popular.
2. There are dangers from dishonest,
short-sighted managers. Without the right
man for the right place, success cannot rea
sonably be expected,
3. People seem to have a strong predis
position to be hnmbngged. now far the
flaming announcement that after the first of
Januarv. 1860. freieht will be carried from
Salem to Linn City for four dollars per ton
will affect the minds of cot people, remains tin

to be seen. It Is noticeable that this re
duction is proposed after nearly all tho
freight for the present year has been carried
away, and that nothing has been offered on
freight tip river. But if it were proposed
to carry for iiothinir both wnrs. would it
continue? Whnt arc tho promises of such
competitions worth, illustrated by experi-
- . it 'll t . . . . . . '
ence? Still such tricks muke a difficulty In
the way of correction.
Lastly; The. meant of tnccest atcording
in we general vita tuugttkii by tht Part
land Transportation Company :
I. The dclcu'iites appointed to meet in
Sulem on tho 12th of January next, should
develop a complete plan, nnd have it print
ed, so tnai mose swiseriuing stock may
aiiow wnai nicy are uoing.
2. Some one or two cnpublo persons
Mioinci do enlisted in eacli county to can-
vass lor siock.
3. Subscriptions should be taken nnnn
clear conditions, and payment rcouired
without remedy when those conditions be
filled. The moral of contracts with some
men is to pay off with excuses.
4. None should be allowed to hold stock
hnving an interest in other boats, unless
without the privilege of voting.
5. The business should be placed In tho
hand of one competent agent, with proper
securities; so dial tno responsibility mny
not be shifted.
6. To secure the requisite capital, every
one feeling the impnrtunco of the enter
prise should perform his part promptly, nor
wait for others to do whnt is the work of
nil. Ten or forty thousand dollars in small
shares will rpquire a good many stock
holders. With thought, prudence, energy, the lino
of steamboats may be built und successfully
run. What say n thousand fanners, me
chanics, nnd merchants? Shall the funds
bo raisetl?
C. Iloel wns appointed dclc-rata to meet
with others in Salem on the 12th of Janu

'He's a poor crenturc, rejoined Trim.
' How so?' said my uncle. ' Because, in
the first place,' continued the corporal, 'be
cause he must endeavor to please everybody.
In the negligence of a moment, perhaps a
small paragraph pops in upon him; he has

'Go on, Trim,' said my uncle feelingly.
' The printer sometimes,' pursued the cor
poral, ' hits upon a piece that pleases him
mightily, and he thinks it cannot but go
down with his subscribers; but, nhisl sir,
who can calculate tho human mind? He
inserts it, and it is all over with him. They
forgive others but they cannot forgive a
printer. Ho has a host to print for, and
every one sets up for a critic. Tho pretty
miss exclaims ' Why don't ho give us
more poetry, marriages, and bon mots?
away with these stulo pieces.' The politi
cian claps hi specs on his nose, and runs it
over in search of a violent invective; he finds
none; he tukes his specs off, folds them,
sticks them into his pocket, declaring the
paper good fun nothing but to burn. So it
goes. Every one thinks it ought to be
printed expressly for himself, as he is a sub
scriber; and yet, after all his complaining,
would you believe it, sir,' said the honest
corpoinl, clasping his, hands beseechingly
' would you believe it sir, there are some
subscribers who do not hesitate to cheat the
printer out of his pay! Our army swore
terribly in Flanders, but they never did any
thing so bad as that.' 'Never!' said my
uncle Toby, emphatically.
The Tbce Lady. No girl can become a
true lady withont household duties. What
ever may be her literary proficiency and her
social finalities, without the ability to do
housework, if necessity demand, her educa

BROWN EXKCUTEDI
Interview between tht lUabaadaad Wlft

passed quietly, with the exception of a
1 prent military lutlo on the reception of
urown. bite was escorted over rrom
Tf . m
iiarpcrs rcrry ai it o clock lit the after
noon, and the entire military force was
brought out to make a demonstration.
Her companions were not h I lowed to ac
company her from Harper's Ferry. After
remaining four hours with her husband,
Mrs. Brown was escorted back to IInrcr's
Ferry, at 0 o'clock last night, where she
will await the reception of her husband's
body.
Dsc. 2. John Brown was hung at a
quarter pnst 11 o'clock this morning.
Too military assembled nt 9 o'clock, and
were posted on the field leading to the place
of execution, and ulso at various points, as
laid down In the general orders.
Everything was conducted under the
strictest military discipline, as if tho town
was in a state of siege.
Mounted scouts wcro stationed in the
woods to the left of the scaffold, nnd picket
guards were stationed out towiird the Shen
andoah mountains, in tho rear. The mili
tary on the field formed two hollow squares.
Within the inner one was tho scaffold, nnd
between tho inner und the outer lines citi
zens were admitted.
At 11 o'clock the prisoner was brought
out of tho jail, accompanied by Sheriff
lumptteii aim assistants nnd dipt. Avis,
the jailor. A small wagon, containing n
white-pine box iu which was a fine oak cof
fin, was driven up, on which they took a
sent.
Six companies of infantry, a rifle com
pany, a company of horse, and the general
nnd his staff (nuinberinir twenty five offi
cers), headed the procession, and marched
townrd the place of execution.
Beforo leaving tho jail. Brown bade
ndicu to nil his fellow-prisoners, nnd was
very affectionate to oil. except Cook. He
charged Cook with having deceived and
misled mm in relation to tho support he
was to receive from the slaves. He was
led to belicvb that they were ripe for Insur
rection, and had found that his representa
tions were false. Cook denied tho chunro.
nnd made but little reply.
Un reaching the field, the military had
nlreudy full possession. Pickets Were sta
tioned, nnd the citizens kept back at the
point of the bayonet from taking any posi
tion except that assigned them, nearly a
quarter of a milo from tho scaffold, the
order for excluding the press was partially
rescinded, nnd they were assigned a position
near the general's staff.
The prisoner walked up the steps firmlv.
and was the first man on tho scaffold
Messrs. Avis and Campbell stood by his
side, and, after shaking hands and bidding
them an affectionate adieu, thanked them
for their kindness, put tho cap over his face
nnd the rope around his neck. Mr. Avis
nsked him to step forward on the trap.
Brown replied, ' You must lead mo I can
not see.'
The rope was then ndjusted, nnd the
military order given. The soldiers marched
nnd countermarched, nnd took n position ns
if nn enemy was in sight, nnd nearly ten
minutes were thus occupied. The prisoner
remained standing, and Mr. Avis asked if
he was not tired. Brown replied, 'No,
not tired, but don't keep mo waiting longer
than is necessary.' "
no was swung off nt fifteen minutes pnst
1 1 o'clock. There was a slight grasping of
the hands nnd stretching of the muscles,
nnd then all was quiet. The body wns
several times examined, nnd the pulse did
not cease beating for thirty-five minutes.
It wus then cut down nnd placed in the
coffin, nnd conveyed, under the military es
cort, to the depot, nnd put in a car to be
conveyed to the Ferry by a spcciul train
The whole arrangement wns curried out
with a precision and military strictness that
was most annoying. The generul convic
tion entertained wns that the excitement
regarding an expected rescue was caused
by egregious hoaxes.
Brown said he desired no religious cere
monies either in the jail or on the scaffold
from ministers who consent to or approve of
tno enslavement ot their lellow-creaturcs:
nnd that he would prefer to be accompanied
on the scaffold by a dozen slave children
and a pood old slave mother, with their
blessings on his soul, than with all the elo
quence of the whole clergy of the Common
wealth combined.

Mr. Foster, the manager of a theatrical
company playing at Bucyrus, Ohio, was lit
tiug in a hotel, when a stranger, with a bill
of the evening play In his hand, entered the
room, and approaching Mr. Foster, asked
him if ho was the innnngcr of the theatre.
Being answered in the affirmative, he asked
what sum would induce his company to play
Richard III, for him that afternoon, as he
was compelled to leave town and could not
bo present In tho' evening. Mr. Foster,
supposing that the stranger was jesting, re
plied twenty-five dollars, and being asked
what he would add the Itourh Diamond
for, lie replied ten dollars. The stranger
forthwith counted out the money, and the
company, on being consulted, agreed to
grant tho stranger's request. The stranger
desired that the play should begin no later
than 2 o'clock, and we now let the Bucyrus
Journal tell the rest: "Two o'clock came,
and the solitary audience assembled. Choos
ing on eligible position, and cocking his feet
upon the back of tho seat in front of him.
wnUed patiently for the performance to be
gin. I he bell rang, up went tho curtain,
and the piny commenced. Never did actors
do better. They all exerted themselves to
givo their patron nil entertainment fully
worth tho price paid for it, and they suc
ceeded. The stranger applauded vigorously
nt different points, and at the close of tho
play called Mr. Fannin beforo tho curtain,
who responded In a neat little speech. A
dance nnd song followed, after which the
farce of the Hough Diamond was played.
The nudiciico laughed, roared, and ap
plauded, and, as at the close of the first
piece, called out the leading actors.
Sperch ot Zacharlah Hptcer
On the question, "Which enjoys tho
greatest amount of happiness, the bachelor
or the married man?"
Mr. President and gentlemen: I rise to
advocate the cause of tho married man
And why should I not? I claim to know
something about tho institution. I do.
Will any gentleman pretend to say I do
not? Let him accompany me home. Let
me confront him with my wife and seventeen
children and decide.
High as the Rocky Mountains tower
abovo the Mississippi valley, does the char
acter of tho married man tower above that
of tho boclelor? What was Adam before
ho got ncquniuted with Eve? No more to
be compared to his after self than a mill-dam
to the great roaring cataract of Niagnra.
Applause.
Gentlemen, there was a time when I
blush to say it when I too was a bache
lor; a more miscrablo creature you could
hardly expect to find. Every day I toiled
hard, and at night I came homo to my com
fortless gurrct no carpet, no fire, no noth
ing. Everything was in a clutter, and In
the words of the poet: .
" CciifuHion wunnionarch of all I nrvcyeil,"
Here lay a pair of punts, thcro a dirty pair
of boots; thcro a dirty play-bill, and hero a
pile of dirty clothes. What wonder that I
took refuge at the gaming-table and bar
room. I found it would never do, gentle
men, and iu a lucky moment I vowed to re
form. Scurccly had the promise passed my
lips, when a knock was heurd at the door,
nnd iu cauio Susun Sinipkins after my dirty
clothes.
"Dr. Spiccr," says she, "I've washed for
you six mouths, and I haven't seen the first
red cent in way of payment. Now I'd liko
to know what you are going to do about
it?"
"Miss Simpkins," says I, " It's no use
denying it, I haven't got the pewter. I
wish for your sako I hud."
" Then," said she promptly, " I don't
wash another rng for you."
" Stop," said I, "Susan, I will do what
I can for you. Silver and gold I have
none; but if my heart and hand will do,
they are at your service."
" Are yon in earnest?" said she looking a
little suspicious.
" Never more so," said I.
" Then, said she, " as there seems to be
no prospect of getting my pay any other
way, I guess I'll take up with your offer."
Enough said. We were married in a
week, and what's more, wehaveu't had any
cause to relent. No more attics for me,
gentlemen. I live in a good houso, and
have somebody to mend my clothes. When
I was a poor miserable bachelor, gentlemen,
I usc'l to be as thin as a wcazel, now I am
as plump as a porker.
Iu conclusion, gentlemen, if yon want to
be poor ragged fellows, without coats lo
your backs, or shoes to your feet; if you
want to grow old before your time, and live
as uncomfortably generally as a hedgehog
rolled np in the wrong way, I advise you
to remain a bachelor; but if you want to
I've decently and respectably, get married.

The Insanity of Brown In supposing that
with nineteen white ow n aitulive negroes
he could overthrow the Uuited Stutes Gov-
eminent, liberate all the slaves In the South,
and establish a Provisional Government,
with himself and a Cabinet of equal fanatics
nt the head of affairs, was desperate beyond
all human i-xicrienc. But deplorable and

that are trying to make It appear that the
Republican party of the country is respon
sible for old Brown's deeds, and that they
sympathise with the failure of his murder
ous aims!
As we observed, the other day, the Re
publican pnrty polled in the lute Presiden
tial campaign over 1,300,000 votes. The
party has steadily Increased since, and now
would, no doubt, poll l,dOU,l)UU votes. It
is unquestionable, nnd the returns to the
next Congress indicate it, that every free
State in the Union, save two or three, hat
sided unequivocally with the Republican
party, and there it ' no ebb to the tide that
beart public tentiment in the fret Slatel to
ward the principle of tht Republican par"
ty, the only one of which affecting tlavery
it, that it thall not be extended into Terri
torie or Stain already free.
Not a suiL'le organ of the Republican
party, has yet failed to condemn and to ex
ecrate the treasonable madness of old Brown.
No member of the Republican party, from
one end of the Union to the other, hns spo
ken a word of sympathy for his murderous
designs. Such being the fact, patent to all
men, we ask, what but the most amazing
mnihiess on the pnrt of southern partisans
and Southern newspapers can lend them to
charge the Republican party of the country,
and itt million and a half voters, with com
plicity with the horrible crimes inturrection,
treason, rape and murdert Does not every
member of the Republican party know iu
his heart, that this charge is an arcurted
lie; nnd will the million and a half voters of
that party bo so complaisant as to change
their politics or quit voting because of these
base libels on their character by Democratic
partisan prints? We know better than
this, the world knows better. And the re
sult will prove that a party when aygrarn.
ted by titxiiit ana contumely is rendered Inr
more formidable than when lulled to eaco
fulness bv the just dealings of an honorable
and generous adversary.
hat will lie the end of these insano li
bels circulated through tho sluvehohling
Stales by Democratic prints? Why this:
They will not convert tho Republican par
ty. They will not stay its present triumph
ant march. They will not prevent Its oust
ing tho National Democracy from Federal
power, and installing, we trust, a conserva
tive statesman, liko Bales or Bell, in the
Presidency. But when this happens, what
shall we see In those slaveholding communi
ties where the insane libels of theso Demo
cratic prints have circulated? The newspa
pers have told the (tiM that the triumph
of the Republican party will be the signal
for their deliverunco from bondage I They
will have assured the sorvilo raco that the
arms und power of the United States Gov
ernment will, in Republican hands, be used
in their behalf in a last grand conflict with
their niastersl
The credulous and doomed creatures will
believe it all tad, fatal, hell born lit
though it be and they will dance with fren
zied joy around their camp-fires some night,
nnd meet a dreadful nnd exterminating
slaughter beforo the setting of tho next day's
sun I
Such is the solution of the slnvcry ques
tion that the Democratic organs and parti
sans are providing, by their desperate libels
on a majority of tho independent voters of
the Union) If theso madmen do not bathe
the South in tho blood of a self-created ser
vilo insurrection, it will be because the tri
umphant Opposition of 1800 Interposes to
tupprest t'rvile outbreaks, and to preservo
the guarantees of the Constitution and the
Union, in regard to slavery, by all the pow
ers of the Federal Government. St, Louit
