A London paper justly pronounces it a fearful case of "the ruling passion strongin death." According to the latest accounts, poïitical executions had commenced in the Roman States. Seven of the Ivventy individuals sentenced to death by the military commissioners sitting at Bologna, were shot in that city on the 14th inst. The best friends of the Papal government deprécate these executions. It appeara by a letter irom Algiers that the attempt to organize a corpsein Algeria, mounted on camels, which was at first a faikrre,has at length beerr successful. Three hundred men mounled in this manner, accümpanied the last expedition, and manoenvered to the perfect satisfactlon of the officers. Pass it round, That thö slaveaoíders of the South number only about two hundred and forty thousand, while the whole' population-of the Union is ot fax from twenty millions- so that the proportion of the slavemongers is about as one man to eiglrty of the whole people; yet this one manan eighty has ruledthe nation" fortyfour years out of fíie last fifty six, or four fifths of the time sinee the constitution was adoptad. Pass it round, That the slaveholders have ruled lon-g cnough.-Herkimer Freeman.

He was brought before Judge SfraW, by whotn he was set at Jiberty. When asked why he wanted to slay at Boston, he said, "Becausc tkere is more good her e. I want o le free." A wise choice, and a good reason- "because there is more good here." The drama ],M not been (Sr years at eo low an ebb in England, as at the preaent time.

" ' The Catholics expended Home Missions in the United States last year, 138,176. and the American Missionary Society, $9,000. Remember if you vote forBirney, yoü vote fpr the liberation of 3000,000 of your countrvmen who are in bondage for no cnmewhatever; if you vote for Polk or Cïay you rote for thecontmuance of their bondage.

Justice done to hiV characler by the verdict, and honorably and liberally deeKeed receiving the money." Northern farmers continue to flock fo Virginia, where land is so cheap, free labor so effective, and markets so near- The región back of Alexandria, whose importance is now daily increasing, combines the salubrity of an old settled country with the fmitfulness of a ncsv, and is destined ío a high career of improvement", About the best joke of the season is eontained in the Augusta (Me.) Age.- Tbat paper says that 'the South want Texas, not as asa means of extendingand perpetuating slavery, but as the_ only means which human sagacity can discover of geding rid of slavery. This may be the ground Mr. Calhoun takes in bis letter to Mr. Packenham, but weconfess we did not understand it so. More light!
