WHAT ARE CONSOLS? (Most of a column devoted to consolidated English debt. Not transcribed)
A PROSPECTIVE VIEW. - The Huntsville (Texas) Item, in an item on the slave trade, makes the supposition that the southern States have already formed a separate republic and are going it alone; they have legalized the slave trade, and have sent their ships to the coast of Africa for loads of Congoes. On their return they are captured by war vessels and taken to the northern republic, to England or to France, where their captains and crews are hung for piracy. - Of course, then, war must be the result, what would be a war with all the rest of the civilized world, because no civilized nation, with the exception of this southern republic, would sanction the African slave trade. Where, then would be the ????eaters?

OUT OF DOOR EXERCISE.
There is probably not another people to be found that take so little exercise “out-of-doors” as those living the cities and large towns of the Northern States. This in-door confinement is the direct occasion of two great evils, - impaired health, and a destruction of vivacity To be healthful and cheerful, much time should be passed in the sunlight, where oxygen may be inhaled without stint. Stay in the house, shop, store, office, study, sanctum, or other confinement, where carbonic acid gas and other impurities are breathed and breathed again and again, and it would be very extraordinary.

From Hall’s Journal of Health. SEASONABLE HINTS.
At this season many persons contemplate traveling; to do so with the large of comfort and advantage, physical, social and mental, the following suggestions are made:
Take one-fourth more money than your actual estimated expenses.
Have a good supply of small change, and have no bill or piece higher than 10 dollars, that you may not take counterfeit change.
So arrange as to have but a single article of luggage to look after.
Dress substantially; better be too hot for two or three hours at noon than to be two cool for the remainder of the twenty-four.
Arrange, under all circumstances, to be at the place of starting fifteen or twenty minutes before the time, thus allowing for unavoidable or unanticipated detention on the way.
Do not commence a day’s travel before breakfast, even if that has to be eaten by daylight. Dinner or supper, or both, can be more healthfully dispensed with than a good warm breakfast.
Put your purse and watch in your vest pocket, and all under your pillow, and you will not be likely to leave either.

THE COURIER.
There having been something of a hiatus in the publication of the Courier, the first issue of which was under date of June 16, it is perhaps proper for us to say in this the first number printed in the City of East Saginaw, that we were unavoidably delayed several weeks longer than we expected, and could not possibly be sooner on the ground. We gave, in the first issue, a statement as to what would be our course politically and otherwise, and it is hardly necessary to recapitulate in this.
To the press throughout the state, which as a general thing has given us a very cordial reception, we are certainly under great obligations. We will endeavor to merit a continuance o their good wishes.
Excuses and explanations, we are well aware are at best a nuisance, but we must explain slightly, be it “for better of for worse.” In the first place some matter for this issue has been in type for nearly six weeks, and if it has not “an order of sanctity” about it for so long keeping, it is certainly a little musty. In the second place we have no exchange list as yet, and therefore have not attempted to get at even an abstract of current news. In the third place we have been so busy in getting things “to rights,” arranging advertisements &c., &c. that we do not really know what is in the paper. Possibly it is readable; the next issue will be more so.
For the gratification of “the friends we have left behind us” who frequently enquired: “What is there in East Saginaw to induce you to go there? we point with pride and satisfaction to the advertising columns of the Courier, and there is much more under contract to go there, which t is impossible for us to put in type this week. There is no better index of the business of any place than the advertising columns of its newspapers, and if ours do not look as though the people here “meant business” then we are no judge. We have certainly every reason to feel gratified with the prospect thus far, and it will be our endeavor to deserve all the encouragement the people in this section may be pleased to give.

THE FACE OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN EAST SAGINAW AND FLINT. - The opinion generally prevails that most of the country between Flint and Saginaw is nearly a dead level. The following taken mostly from the notes of the surveyors employed by the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway Co., will show the incorrectness of such an opinion. We take Saginaw river as a base.
Commencing at the river and going S. S. E., the rise in the land for the first 3 miles is 16 1/2 feet, it gradually declines toward Cass river at Bridgeport Center, where it is only 1 foot above the level.
At Birch run the elevation is 25 ft.
At Pine Run “ “ “ 104”
Summit between Flint an Pine Run 226”
At Flint city the elevation is 119”
A series of levels taken in Saginaw and adjoining counties would show conclusively that this section is more than sufficiently undulating for good and thorough drainage, in fact just about the thing for agricultural purposes, and in some parts affording fine water power for machinery &c.

THE EMERSON CASE,.
We republish in our issue of to-day the final decree rendered by the Superior Court in the great case of Emerson vs. Samuel T. Atwater and W. H. Green et al., which finally disposes of this, the most important case ever tried in Northern Michigan; involving as it does property amounting in value to over $100,000. It will be seen that by this decision all the points taken by the Complainant’s Bill are fully sustained and that the decree rendered by Judge Turner is substantially confirmed. The legal points, that parol proof may be given to show that a deed absolute on its face, was intended as security and constitutes a mortgage only, and that Green was not a bona fide purchaser, are affirmed, and the decisions heretofore made by Chancellor Farnsworth and Chancellor Manning in similar cases, are declared to be the law of Michigan as it is of the United States and most of the State Courts.
Great benefits to our community will flow from the settlement of this case, as this valuable property, the most beautifully located of any in the city, will now be for sale, and under the control of one of our most public spirited and enterprising citizens.
That this decision is a popular one, and mets the view of the generality of people here and elsewhere in Northern Michigan there is not the slightest doubt, as the “opinions of the press” fully testify. We give below a few extracts.
——
STATE OF MICHIGAN: SUPREME COURT: Curtis Emerson, Respondent vs. Samuel Atwater, et al Appellants. In Chancery: Appeal from Saginaw Circuit Court.
This cause having been duly heard and considered by the Court, the said Court does hereby order adjudge and decree that the decree heretofore rendered in the said Circuit Court for the Country of Saginaw be and the same is hereby reversed and set aside; and that an interlocutory decree be entered in said cause, declaring, 1st, That the Deed from Curtis Emerson to Samuel Atwater dated the 27th of May 1853, described in said Bill of Complaint though absolute on its face, was intended by the parties thereto, to be and is in its nature a Mortgage only with power to Atwater to sell the whole or a part of the premises to pay off the encumbrances then existing on said premises described in said Deed, and also the debt then due and owing from Emerson to Samuel Atwater. 2d. That the defendant William H. Green was not and is not a bona fide purchaser from Atwater of the said premises, and that he holds the same subject to all Emerson’s equities; and must account for all sales and acts done by him, touching the said property to the same extent, the Atwater would have to account had they been done by him. 3d. And that it be referred to a Circuit Court Commissioner, to take and state an account between Curtis Emerson, the Complainant on the one side, and Atwater and Green on the other, charging the Complainant Emerson with what he was owing to Atwater on the 27th of May 1853, and with all advances, (if any,) since then made to complainant and debts incurred by him to Atwater and Green if any or either of them, together with the several encumbrances existing on the property, at the time it was conveyed on the 27th of May, 1853, and also the decree of foreclosure of that Mortgage on said premises against Emerson, which was assigned by the Michigan Insurance Company to said Green, and that said decree be discharged by said Green, together with the rent of the House and Lot on the six Acres occupied by the complainant Emerson from the said 27th of May 1853, and with such other just and equitable demands as should be allowed to Atwater and Green or either of them. And crediting the complainant Emerson with the sale of the old Mill and six Acres of land at the sums of sixteen thousand dollars. $16,000
- and the twenty-one Water Lots sold by Emerson to Atwater at $250 each Lot making $5,250
- and the personal property sold and delivered to Atwater by Emerson on the 17th of June 1853, at $7560 95-100
- Unless it shall appear from further testimony to be exhibited before the Commissioner that a less sum should be allowed.
And also all monies received on sales or contracts of sale of any part of said property, with all payments if any made to Atwater, and all debts incurred by Atwater to complainant since the 27th of May 1853, and with all such other demands of any as should in justice and equity be credited to the complaint.
And that said Commissioner do further enquire and report to said Court what part of said real estate has been sold and the price of each separate parcel, what part is under contract of sale and to show, and at what price, and the amount paid and to be paid on such contract and what remains unsold and not under contract of sale.
The Commissioner to have power to examine the parties under oath, and to compel the productions of all books, papers, and contracts necessary to the enquiry, and to take such further and other evidence in addition to what has already been taken relating to the reference as may be offered by the parties, as he may deem proper and that said decree and inquiry be confined to Emerson’s interest in the land conveyed to Atwater on the 27th of May 1853, and not to include the Jennison interest, whatever that interest maybe; and that this cause be remitted to the Court below for further proceeding in the said cause.
“CURT. EMERSON.,’ - The famous Law Suit between Curtis Emerson of E. Saginaw and Samuel T. Atwater has been decided by the Supreme Court of this State. Opinion was given by J. Manning. This is a victory for Emerson, establishing his rights substantially as claimed by him, securing property at and in the vicinity of Saginaw valued at considerable more than $100,000. His many friends will congratulate him on so favorable a result. Tuscola Pioneer.

AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.- it will be seen by the opinion of the Supreme Court, published in another column, that the great case of Emerson vs. Atwater and others, has been decided in favor of the former. This decision secures to Mr. Emerson property at and in the vicinity of Saginaw valued at considerably more than $100,000. His many friends will congratulate him on so favorable a result.

THE CELEBRATED EMERSON CASE, of which our readers are already acquainted, has at length been decided in favor of the plaintiff. We congratulate our old friend EMERSON who thus recovers bout one hundred thousand dollars of property in East Saginaw which has been kept from his own management some three of four years. Every body is rejoiced over the happy result. Owosso American.
Although we have refrained from expressing any opinion in this case during its pendency in litigation, we regard this final decision of it as eminently just and equitable. Such, we believe, is the general opinion of our citizens, most of whom have been more or less acquainted with the history and circumstances of the case.
This decision settles the title to a large amount of property in the upper portion of this city, beautifully located for residences. - Saginaw Enterprise.

THE TYPES - a typographical blunder in an excellent letter published in the Detroit Tribune, concerning this country, makes the exportation of salt from this region, this year amount of $20,000. - It should read lath instead of salt. - There are several other blunders in the letter as published, but we notice the Enterprise published it in Tuesday’s issue with corrections. We shall do likewise in our next.

THE POCAHONTAS. - In our advertising columns it is mentioned as will be seen on examination, that this staunch screw steamer plies between this city and Buffalo. It happened to be our good fortune to take the Pocahontas on her last trip up, and we found the Captain, officers, crew and vessel all sound. As to Capt. TRAVERSE he is right eery time and can sail a steamer or tell a tough yarn as well as any man afloat.

Not so. The bark Sunshine has been brought to the city of East Saginaw for repairs, and it is only as a matter of necessity that she was allowed to pass Detroit, even; but that is just what all other vessels and steamers do and of course she must follow suit. It is rather pleasant to Detroiters, though, even to see vessels pass.

NEW TRAVELING ROUTE. It may be seen by advertisement elsewhere, that a new route for traveling to the East has just been opened via Saginaw and Goderich. This seems to use a very important movement in its bearings upon the facilities for trade and travel to this section of the State. With the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway open to Saginaw, a pleasant voyage across Lake Huron will make an agreeable variety in a journey from Flint to Buffalo; while a trip to Goderich and back will be an attractive summer excursion. Of the merits of the line as a route for the transportation of freight from the East to this point, we are not informed so as to be able to speak with accuracy; but they will soon be known. So far as the connecting link to be formed by the F. & P. M. R. W. is concerned, our merchants will there find facilities not heretofore enjoyed, and will of course eagerly avail themselves of its advantages. Fr. Rumball, one of the proprietors of the Steam Kaloolah has been in Flint this week.

SOAKING FENCE POSTS. — A number of years ago we published in the Cultivator a receipt for soaking fence posts in a solution of blue vitriol, which is worth republishing at this time particularly as our attention has been recently balled to it. The receipt of Mr. George B. Green, of Windsor, Vt., as formerly published was: - “One pound of blue vitriol to forty pounds of water. If the timber is dry soak it ten days, if green, six will be sufficient. This solution will do for all kinds of timber requiring exposure to the weather - spouts, shingles, bean poles, stakes, &c.” A member of the Farmer’s Club in Hudson, recently informed us, that at a late meeting of that club, the subject was brought up for conversation, and one of the members exhibited a post, which, previously to being placed in the ground, had been soaked in a solution of blue vitriol - one pound of vitriol used to twenty quarts of water. The post was pone, and when taken up was as sound when first put down, eight years since. - Country Gentlemen.

Buy your vests and buy your breeches,
Buy your shirts and fancy fixings,

Buy your garments gib and little,
Hats as high as any steeple,
Or as low as is the bayou,

Dares to sell his traps and plunder,
Opposition, “stand from under!”
Marks is he as who can paddle
His own good ship, his own staunch hooker,
Boots and shoes for gents and ladies,
Children and youth and little babies,
Marks has, and he is bound to sell ‘em
Cheaper than the other traders,
Who can only barely, waddle,
While he’ll “just get up and Kadaddle.”
Work to windward of the squadron,
For he carries piles of canvass,
And “goes in” upon his muscle.
Come along or send your orders
For goods that came by the Kaloolah,
Goods that come v-i-a Goderich,
That’s the route to bring you freight on,
Always sound and always certain,
Far across the raging Huron,
But the God of navigation
Likes the style of the Kaloolah,
Likes her owners and her captain,
And he blesses every package,
Every box and every barrel,
That comes that way, most truly.
But the machine is quite unruly,
So I’ll blow my whistle and
Shut off. H. MARKS.

This company which is a late organization is composed of 21 members and is provided with an excellent “machine” i.e. carriage, ladders, hooks, axes, chains, lines, &c., a most complete rig and got up here at home in as good shape as any thing of the kind we have seen.
By this brief notice it will be seen that the Department is in a most flourishing condition, as regards members, “machines” and all the paraphernalia necessary for fighting fire to almost any extent to which their services could be required here at present, and we hear on all hands the very best accounts as to their efficiency at fires, which have heretofore occurred. A better acquaintance with them both individually and collectively will enable us to do more ample justice to the Department on some future occasion.

NEPTUNE BOAT CLUB. — there has recently been organized in this city a Boat Club named as above and numbering at the present time some fifteen members. The officers are:
JOHN H. MERSHON, President.
J. H. SPRINGER, Secretary.
F. N. BRIDGEMAN, Treasurer.
J. F. BROWN, Coxswain.
Z. W. WRIGHT, Ass’t Coxswain.
The club are now having a fine six oared barge built at the ship yard of Messrs. Campbell & Co., in this city. dimensions 45 feet keel, 3 ft. 9 inches berm. It is their intention soon to order from New York a “fast” four oared row boat. We are in hearty for all aquatic sports, and certainly no locality offers better inducements for their enjoyment than this. Success to the Neptune club.
——
THE NEW HOTEL. —— Workmen are now busily engaged putting this new house “in order” to receive the furniture which will be here very soon, it having been shipped some time since. It is expected that it will be opened about the first of September. It is such a hotel as East Saginawites may well feel proud of, and it has even now almost a National reputation from the many flattering notices it has received from correspondents and others connected with the press. We shall endeavor soon to notice it more at length.
——
JOB PRINTING. — Connected with the office of the Courier is a most complete assortment of job printing material, neat, new and fashionable, and we are prepared to do all work under this head from a line in pear to a two-sheet poster, in such a manner that we are not afraid to warrant satisfaction in every instance.
——
DOGS. — This country beats all Christendom for dogs, we verily believe. — “Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound and curs of low degree” are to be found in rich profusion in all quarters of the city. In the road, on the door-step, on the corners, everywhere; and such a catalogue of names as would do honor to the descendants of our colored friend, George Washington Hannibal Scipio Afracanus Johnson Esq. From Penny, Pink and Beauty up to Julius Caesar, Great Grandee and Satan. “Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart,” wouldn’t stand half a chance on the score of names with our Saginaw dogs, and they are perfect kinds of politeness, for they bow all the time, night and day. Won’t some benevolent individual be so kind as to come out here and start a sausage factory?
——
INDIAN ITEMS.
The items which we publish below are from the pen of an intelligent and well educated Indian residing in this vicinity, who has kindly consented to favor us from time to time with such scraps of news or traditional reminiscences as may suggest themselves. This will certainly form a very interesting feature of the Courier, and we hope to hear often from our friend “Bammenodenokaid.:”
——
O-SAW-WAH-PON.— The aged Indian Chief, O-saw-wah-pon died last spring at Isabella. His native place is on the site of Saginaw City. His father’s name was O-saw-wah-pon, his mother’s name was Ke-ne-wah-nah-ah-no-quay, his original name was Kah-pay-you quod; he being sickly, changed his name to his father’s, which is the custom among the sons of the forest in their wild state. O-saw-wah-pon was a true philanthropist, an attached friend to the Ki-chi-mo-ko-mon, (big knives) a special friend to the Hon LEWIS CASS and would mention his name with reverence; a noble hunter and usually made much thereby. His intellectual faculties were very strong and retentive; he was a natural orator and a familiar friend to Tecumseh. His family consisted of fourteen. He became a convert to the christian religion but his Indian customs were a great obstacle to his being a true disciple of the Great Spirit. At his death bed he gave undoubted evidence of his acceptance in the divine favor.
BAMMENODENOKAID.
——
When an Indian died a good while ago the advice of the chiefs was that they should shed not tears, if they did the departed spirit of the deceased would have a rainy journey to the hunting ground, the home of the Indian. The warrior was to be buried with all his equipage, the Indians then used to burn sugar, whiskey and tobacco so as to feed the spirit. They say the spirit still subsisted on the material when it was burnt.
WOG-GOOSH.
——
HORSE ITEMS. — One day last week a seedy looking individual with his better half in company, drove in here with a span of horses which he offered “on the most favorable terms” as dry goods men say; that is, at a “ruinously low price for cash.” After flourishing about for a time he fell in with a resident by the mane of FALL who is generally pretty keen on a business transaction, though in this instance he fell from grace slightly, and in consideration of the very low figures of the horse dealer, Mr. F. and a friend of his, name unknown, purchased the nags and landed the “spondulicks.” Exit horse trader instanter. On Monday last G. G. Hess, ESq. , received a letter from one E. T. Bell, J. P., of Oxford, Oakland County, containing a warrant for the arrest of ——, for stealing a span of horses from Mr. Smith of that place. Twenty minutes after the receipt of the letter, Mr. Hess had the horses harnesses, etc., which were the same, in his possession, but the thief was non est. It is to be hoped that notwithstanding our friend F. has discontinued “handling the ribbons” over the aforesaid nags, “their lines have fallen in pleasant places” on the old farm ere this.
Moral. — Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap.
——
BURGLARS ABOUT - LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BARN DOORS. — This morning Mr. Mott’s barn door was found open, and two horses, which were left at night safely tied in the stalls were found missing. It is safe to presume they had help in getting out, although the rogue or louts did not get far off with them. The horses were found this morning in the marsh near Mr. Little’s farm adjoining the city. It is supposed that one of the horses being a poor traveler, and the other not wishing to leave his companion, could not be managed with a halter only. Mr. Mott’s barn door had been left shut but not locked.
James Lewis was more accommodating and left the back door of his barn open. - The thief entered without difficulty, but somehow made such a noise that James was wakened, and went out to see what the trouble was. On first entering he saw no one, but the suspicious manner in which his mare stuck out her eyes excited his curiosity. Taking another look, he discovered somebody crouching behind a grain box. Stranger then volunteered to leave peaceably, but James stepped in his way and insisted on providing him with more appropriate lodgings. The stranger was therefore detained until assistance was called when he was provided with a place in the small brick building formerly owned by Glasby as a dry-kiln. The Recorder will doubtless see if he stands in further need of the hospitalities of the city or county. - Sag. Enterprise 2d.
——
MR. I. E. GODLEY, just across the way, was somewhat excited yesterday morning owning to an opinion which he had formed that he was “out” one horse and buggy. It seems that some chap had hired a rig to go in a certain direction and return at a certain time, but on enquiry it was ascertained that the direction he took was very uncertain, and he wasn’t “on time” in returning by some hours. He has since “come in,” however, and Godley is not in quite such an ungodly stew.
——

FEVER AND AGUE,
From which mankind suffer over a large part of the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action in the system, induced by the poisonous malaise of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below the horizon this vapor lingers near the earth’s surfaces, and the virus is taken with it through the lungs into the blood. - There it acts as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to accrete not only this virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate in the circulation, and produce violent constitutional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach sympathize with the liver, and becomes disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, as if in the attempt to expel the noxious infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body in the internal excretories to force them to come out. The blood leaves the surface and rushes to the central organs with congestive violence. This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the central organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort to expel the irritating poison through that other great excretory - the skin. In this also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUE. Such constitutional disorder will of course undermine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an antidote,
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body. - As it should, so it does cure this afflicting disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does what is of more service to those subject to this infection. If taken in season it expels it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the system in health although exposed to the disease. Consequently it not only cures, but protects from, the great variety of affections which are induced by this malignant influence, such as Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics, Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising from this cause, will be found to assume more or less the intermittent type. This “AGUE CURE” removes the cause of these derangements, and cures the disease.
This is accomplished by stimulating the excretories to expel the virus from the system; and those organs by degrees become habited to do this their office of their own accord. Hence arises what we term acclimation. Time may accomplish the same end, but often life is not long enough, or is sacrificed to the attempt, while this “AGUE CURE” does it at once, and with safety. We have great reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer remedy of the whole class of diseases which are caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other which has been discovered; and it has still another important advantage to the public, which is, that it is cheap as well as good.

POVERTY PARTS GOOD COMPANIE.
BY ELIZA COOK.
We love the sayings of olden times,
We quote them in Age, we learn them in Youth;
They fall on our ears like ding-dong chimes,
That experience rings in the belfry of Truth.
But I wonder what people it was in the land,
And I wonder as much where the land might be
So stupidly wise, that the proverb could rise,
Of “Poverty parts Good Companie.”
Twas a woful thing for a man to prove,
And sorrow was in the tale it told,
For it said that Goodness, Worth and Love,
Weighed little without they were cast in gold.
And now in the world ’tis bitter to hear,
And sadder yet to feel and see,
That velvet is shy, when rags go by.
And that “Poverty parts good Companie.”
There’s many a board where laggards sit
Heavy and dull as a Winter’s morn;
Not even red Muscadel brightens their wit,
For how can we nurture what never was born!
Spirit and brain, of a diamond light,
Might quicken the feasting with eloquent glee;
But “Talent” is oft in a beggarly plight,
For ““Poverty parts good Companie.”
Full many a sinner of poor estate,
With nothing to leave but a felon’s name,
Has walked to death through the prison gate -
The example of Law, and the target of Blame.
But seeing the deeds that rich men do,
He could point to many of high degree,
And think they might share the hangman’s care,
But “Poverty parts good Companie.”
We punish the whining rogue, who seems
To be what he’s not, in the open street;
And the judge, in his sapient wisdom deems
The villain in pence is the greatest of cheats.
But hypocrites live in grander guise,
Wily and cunning as rogues can be;
They might rank with the beggar for meanness and lies,
But “Poverty parts good Companie.”
Full many a heart hath made its home,
With Hope and Honesty close by its side;
Temptation may whisper and lure it to roam,
Yet safely it goes with these to guide.
But the beldame Queen of Want comes in,
And Hope and Honesty quickly flee.
While the lone heart groans in its reckless sin -
“Oh! Poverty parts good Companie.”

DEFYING THE DUTCH. - The German Republicans denounce Massachusetts and demand, as the price of their continuance in the Republican party, that her delegates should be refused admittance to the next Republican National Convention. To these threats the Boston Atlas and Office replies:
“As for excluding the Massachusetts delegates from the National Convention unless they repudiate the two years’ amendment, all we have to say is: Let the Convention try it. The Massachusetts Delegates would probably not leave alone, and those who urge such a proposition will find that a Massachusetts Republican is as good as a German one, and they will find also that Massachusetts will take no step backwards in this or any other proposition she can honestly and properly maintain.
We say again that we have no unkind feelings towards the German voters of this country. At the same time, Massachusetts will permit no one native or foreign, living beyond her boundaries, to dictate terms to her. Let it be known, now and forever, that if the Western Republicans submit their party and themselves to be lorded over by a few German voters, that they will break up their organization in their own State, and sow the seeds of another American Party, which will exert a power more vast than those who now traduce Massachusetts to obtain favor of the Germans have the remotest idea of.
Should the National Convention, by resolution or otherwise, be silly enough to attempt to single out Massachusetts and discredit her for having in her own way amended her own fundamental laws, or should they attempt to exclude the delegates from this State from holding seats for any such cause, a storm will be raised such as not been heard of since Conventions had an existence. We hope we shall hear no more of this kind of talk.

HARD MASTERS. - The Memphis Avalanche, in calling attention to the mistreatment of a female slave, who had been most unhumanly abused, say: -
A remarkable fact in connection with these cases of cruelty to slaves is, that in every instance the perpetrator of this inhuman acts have been men raised North of Mason and Dixon’s line, who were nurtured in all the doctrines of abolitionism. The person referred to above is a native of New York. In all our experience we have never known a southern man guilty of such cruelty to slaves as that practiced by the Northern men who have taken up in their abde among us, and become so fortunate as to own slaves. - The worst abolitionist, it seems, make the most heartless and cruel of masters.

JOHN DERBY.
The public are invited to call and see the Lamps in operation. Much of the comfort of every family depends on being able to have, at night, A BRILLIANT, CHEAP, CLEAN AND SAFE LIGHT. Sperm Oil is not only dirty and unpleasant, but very expensive, while candles, of whatever kind, are liable to the same objections in a still greater degree. - Camphene and burning fluids are not only expensive, BUT SO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, that no prudent person will use them at all; so that, in fact, no material has heretofore been offered to the public capable of producing such a light as KEROSENE OIL. it gives a better and more brilliant light than any other substance known, at least than one half the cost of candles and is six times cheaper than burning fluid, and is entirely cleanly, gives out no odor, will not congeal in any climate, and is perfectly safe, in any hands - it being impossible for it to explode or to be suddenly inflamed.
