THE CRAWFOKIXSVlLliKCHMETEIlY. \Ve understand that this Cemetery is sadly in need of repairs. Some few years ngo a sum of money was raised by subscription amsng our citizens to dil'ray the expense of enclosing the grouidi with a suitable fence. The amount raised being more than sufficient for the improvements made, tin surplus, some fifty diU.ir.^, was loaned with interest to Andrew P. Linn,at that'time Clerk of the Montgomery County Court. This, loan w.vs made by :i committec, consisting of Messrs Joseph Earl, Andrew Mitchell and Benjamin Galey, (t'telatter since deceased,) who wore appoiutod hy tli P'F.i-/MIS n'id authorized to Joan the surplus fundi. On the decease of Mr. Linn, the funds passed into the hands of his administrator, .James W. Linn, who wc understand is anxious to place the nnnoy into the ban Is of the committee.— trust that these gentlemen Messrs Iv.irl 1 Mitchell will attend to this matter immediately, and if necessary, call a meeting of the citizens to instruct them in the future use of the funds, which, with its accujuulatcd interest is amply sufficient to keep the Cemetery in excellent, repair.

Gov. WRIGIIT.—A gentleman from Terre Haute, who has been two years in Europe, writes from Berlin that Gov. Wright is very popular with all Americans in Berlin, and with the Court and 'citizens. His house in Berlin, as it was in Indiana, is welcome to all, and lie has spared neither pains nor expense in rendering it a pleasant retreat for overy one.

8@~0nc of the richest incidents connected with the capture of Canton, is the fact that upon examining the papers of the Imperial Commissioner Veil, were found the original ratifications of the treaties with England, France, and America. Mr. Yeli was interrogated as to the presence of these documents—why they had not been sent to his master, the Emperor What were they doing in Canton when they should have been in Pckin? Ych laughed and remarked in the most pompous style that thsse documents were so unimportant ihat it would not be worth while to trouble the Emperor with them. Only important documents were transmitted to the Emperor. The probability is that his imperial majesty will not be troubled with the information of the capture of Canton by the barbarians.

0SF"IIu.sband murder is becoming very common in France: French juries, however, seem to consider it as justifiable to a certain extent. A woman by the name of Jauje was tried at. Monthlcry, near Paris, for having made way with her worse half, in order to marry her paramour. This was viewed in the light of an extenuating circumstance, and the young woman was only sentenced to twelve years hard labor.

A DECAYING TOWN.—The Clinton (111 inois) Transcript says: "Two years ago, Clinton contained twelve dry good stores—now we can boast of but six, and all the' goods. :n all these six would scarcely make one respectable stock."

few days ago a woman who cohabited with a mm cut off his f've .ngiT while he was asleep. She placed the finger upon a stone, and applying the knife, struck it with another stone, severing the finger, which hung only by a piece of skin. The man subsequently received surgical treatment at the North Dispsnsary, but is maimed for life. It appears that the man had threatened to enlist in the army, and the woman, from the strong affection she entertained for him, committed the act in order that he might not carry out his intention, which would re.suit.iii theis separation. —Liverpool Mercury,

We have had the opportunity du­

ring the past week of conversing with a great many intelligent. Democrats from different portions of the county. The feeling seems almost unanimous against the aecoptancc by Congress of the Calhoun swindle. The idea that pervades the masses is, that the Democratic .party should stick closely to its time-honored principles, and not dissipate its moral power by the adoption of doubtful expedients. They tliiuk there is as little wisdom displayed in burning down the temple of-Democracy to get rid of Kansas as was displayed bv the farmer who destroyed his barn to get rid of the rats.—T^axerence Democrat.

WASIIIXRTON'S BIRTHDAY IN BERLIN.— Wo learn from German papers that Minister right, on the 22d of February, gave an entertainment to the Americans resident and temporarily sojourning in Berlin. Appropriate speeches were made by several of the guests, and also by the host, who, in the course of his remarks, alluded, to the good feeling existing between the United States and Prussia.

EXTILATING CHAIRS.—A mechanic in New York has invented a chair for hot weather, by which the person who occupies it is refreshed by an artificial breeze, produced by- two pair of side bellows.— The effort required to use. it is slight* and the relief afforded is said to be effectual under the most oppressive heat.

PRUSSIA AS .VKEN BV GOV. WttlttllT. Our American Minister to Berlin, Governor Wright, lately wrote to Judge Law, of Evansville, a quite interesting letter, from which we make brief cxtracts:.y

While there are many things to condemn in this country, there are also many things to admire. One thing in the management of tl.e State Prison in this place has struck me with much force as worthy of imitation. While the happiness of society is sought in the punishment of crime, the reformation of the criminal as a member of society should also be sought. Pardons are seldom granted hero. Every convict is kept at hard labor. A strict account is kept of the cost and profit of his work. At the expiration of his sentence a balance is struck. If he has been diligent in his work it is almost always in his fav.r. .lie is thou rnqiiii-ofl to rnt.nrn fn the place of his conviction and endeavor to regain his character, in the place where it was lost. The balance due him on account of his labor is accounted for, and paid over to liiin upon his producing a certificate from the tribunal by which lie was convicted, that he is conducting himself as a good citizen and is attentive to" the wants and necessities of his family. Thus during his term of imprisonment, and after his dishargc an incentive is given him to be diligent in business"—one of the greatest safeguards against crime.

The Government here docs everything, is everywhere. What would our people say if government monopolized all the carrying trade of all packages under a certain weight. I have seen passing my window postoffice wagons loaded with game, fish and other ariicles of food. Oue of the things which most astonishes an American is the number of soldiers he meets, and especially the number of officers. A story is told of one of the smaller countries which is amusing. Every kingdom, how ever small, has its standing army. It is said that in that little kingdom the number of the cffcctive was fifty men. A'/tor the general, with his staff, the colonels, the captains, and other officers had received their commissions, one solitary soldier was left—forming the grand army of the. kingdom.

TIIE WINTER ABROAD.—The winter appears to have been very severe in all parts of Europe. The papers by the Europa furnish the following items:

In Scotland, a man on his way to his wedding was lost in tho deep snow, and when found was frozen to death, within a mile of the residence of his bride. For the first time in the present century the river Po has been frozen over at Fcrrar, in Italy, for some time admitting the constant passage of man and beast. The unusual •severity of the winter in that part of Italy has caused great mortality. ^.Accounts from Asia Minor describe snow storms, in one of which a Greek monastery was buried, and the five monks had to be excavated by the Turks. At Malta, the snow which had not fallen since the llussian campaign of 1811, was some feet high, and accompanied with hail and tempests.

Constantinople, Feb. 3., —Snow has fallen, until yesterday, without any interruption tor fifteen days. There has not been a winter ot equal severity for more than twenty years. The snow'has extended to Smyrna and the adjacent district'of Asia Minor, and even the Greek Islands are clothed with white, an appearance most unusual and remarkable. The navigation with Odessa is entirety- closed. The di asters in the Black Sea, Sea of Marmona, and the neighborhood of the Dardanelles, have been numerous. The casualties have been chiefly among native crafts and Greek vessels but there have also been a few losses of British ships. The sufferings of the poor are very acute their habits and habitations are not prepared to resist so inclement a season. Many of the poorest dwellings have tumbled down from the weight of snow on their roofs, for they are little more substantial than castle of cardboard, aud very few are weather tight.

rk$ vTiai M#a«dpiA^1 The mbi^orial of titt'meiibers|ppd offir, cers of th£ Legiiteture^bf Utah, jn^entect to the House of BeproentIUvew.Xu£s« day, ia a most remarkable paper, and illustrates forcibly the singular character and the dcep-seaitedi hostility* {q (itm (SpVqrni rnent" of the people of 'thai territory The paper in question is the- mostcurious compound of. sophistry, insolence, fanaticism which it has been our lofc,to reaid, and affords considerable insight into the motives iand intentions of the leaders of the' Mormons. ID ?"'dj

They set out complaining that their previous resolutions and memorial sent to Washington have not been answered, unless "the appointment of ..a full set of- offir cers for,the [Territory, backed by an a riny to force them upon us," [them} "is to be deemed an answer." They say that if officers had been appointed in accordance with the voice of the people, therewould have, been no need of sending an, army ivith them. They demand that the army shall be withdrawn, and that they- shall, have a voice in the. choice of their officers, and then proceed as follows: "Bestore uuto us our rights in Missouri and other States, of which wc are inhumanly robbed reinstate and guarantee unto us the peaceful possession of lands for which you have taken and yet retain our money bring to justice the. murderers of Joseph and lliram Smith, who were massacred, while in the custody of the law, under the pledged faith of a sovereign State punish the assassins of Parley P. Pratt, who slew their unresisting victim beneath the portals of the court which had pronounced him guiltless restore unto us our political, religious and inalienable rights, that we may have reason to believe that you are our friends and not our enemies execute justice and judgment upon the guilty, and spare the innocpnt let truth, honesty, industry, love of right and liberty stand unmolested and protected by your acts as they are by the very genius of our loved institutions. Do that, and you will do more toward rescuing our beloved country from its foul pollution and its fearful doom than can be accomplished by endeavoring to destroy a people who, under the broad folds of the Constitution, deem it no sin to unite in worshipping God according to the dictates of their own consciences. Pay us a few hundred thousand dollars which Government honestly owes us for suppressing Indian hostilities aud maintaining peaceful relations with the native tribes, instead of expending millions to deprive a portion of our citizens of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Try on tlie plaster of friendly intercourse and honorable dealing, instead of foul aggression and war. Treat us a3 friends, as citizens entitled to and possessing equal rights with our fellows, aud not as alien "enemies," lest you make us such."

They complain that although they adopted a republican constitution and form of government in 1850, and sent them to Congress, together with a census report and petition for admission into the Union, their delegate found no member of Congress willing to advocate their petition, or to urge their claim to admission. This is attributed to the "unhallowed prejudice-' existing against tliem at Washington.

Tiie petitioners (who, it will be understood, are the Councilors and Ilepresentativot. of the Utah TI'ITItoi-i:u Legislature.) placc a -very low estimate upon the officers who have been appointed to proceed to Utah, and are now with the army, awaiting its advance to Salt Lake in the spring.— Tiie following extract will show that either from gross misconception of the character of those officers, or from a design to invent a reason for hostility to them, they have placed a false estimate upon their character:. "You have appointed, the newspapers state, a full set of officials for Ut:ih from among entire .strangers, and to do so were obliged to hawi ^ibout the ollices from State to State, every honorable and principled

It will be remembered that the same complaint was made against the previous officers ot the Territory that they were denounced for drunkenness, and for every sin in the decalogue, and as unfit to associate with the saints in that land of promise. The policy now undoubtedly is, to convey to their followers the impression that the Government is imposing upon them men without character or qualifications for the duties of the offices to which they have been appointed, who arc to be sent there to persecute them on account of their religion. From the accounts which reach us, there can be little doubt that this opinion is very generally entertained by thc Mormons.

The memorial complains'that the citizens of Utah have not had their constitutional rights that they have been denied the choice of their own officers, and that no investigation of the wrongs of which they complain has been made by the Government. The United States soldiers, they aver, have no occasion to go to Utah to protect the rights of the citizens, because those rights- have never been infringed, except by the Government itself. The closing sentence of the-memorial is particularly severe upon the "enemies" of whom they complain.

"Withdraw your troops, give us our constitutional.rights, and wc are at home." The Journal says that the above referred to do'cument furnishes another evidence of the peculiar difficulties with which this question is hedged about.,.'The ground taken by the President is, that these people are in a state of rebellion against the United States Government. With their religion he has nothing to do, and wishes to have nothing to do. The people profess to be governed by a higher authority than the laws of the United States, and they have, therefore, declared against any Unit ed States officers being sent among them in an official capacity. The Journal thinks it would be well to seud among them persons of different religion, to settle in the Territory. But they will not allow such to remain. All such are regarded as spies and treated accordingly.

Congressional.

MONDAY NIGHT'S PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, March 23.

SENATE.—The Senate re-asscmblcd at seven o'clock. Mr. Douglas, on entering the chamber, was greeted with applause, which he depreciated by shaking his head and making gestures to the multitude to stop.

Not afoot of vacant room was left in the galleries,- and the reporters were overrun by the invading "border ruffians." All the seats on the floor were also occupied, and the windows near the roof were filled.

After alluding to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, he said that Congress had eventually decided that new Territories should choose their domestic policy for themselves. lie was one of those who, for the want of power to carry out his own measure, agreed with the new lino of policy, with the view of healing the sectional strife and restoring peace to the country. The object was to localize, not nationalize slavery. The people of Illinois approved of his course, and the Legislature passed a resolution to that cftcct.

As a Senator from that State, he felt it to be his duty to apply the Kansas-Nebras-ka Bill, the principle which had been substituted for the geographical line.

Now, said Mr. Douglas, the question arises, is the Lccomptuu Constitution in accordance with the principles of the Compromise of 1850, and in accordance with the organic Act. Have the people been left to manage their own affairs in their own way subject only to the Constitution of the United States? D.ias the Lccompton Constitution embody the will of the people of Kansas If it docs, you have the right to admit her into the Union under it.

The whole action of this Hou^e turns on

man indignantly declining your appoint-j this, whether or not the people have had a insert the following Whereas, the people incuts, until at length you succeeded finding the requisite number from among the reckless, the drunken, the unprincipled, the dissolute, tho houseless aud penniless, who alone feel the need of the backing afforded by bayonets, aud for thi's reason had far better remain where society is more congenial to their depraved and corrupt tastes. No doubt such is the character of the present appointees, for what other class would accept offices among a people where they well knew they were not wanted, and hence, had no right officially to be? All we have further to say of them is, they had better tarry with their friends if they really have any."

air expression of their will in that Act but what evidence have v,-e that it is so?— At a subsequent election the vote against it v.-as 10,000. This was evidence, to h:o mind, that the Lccompton Constitution is not an expression of the will of tho people. It has been said that the election of December 21st was legal, and that on January 4th was not legal. The Legislature possessed as much power on the 4th of .January as it did on the 21st ot" December, and on the 20th of February.

If you can judge this Constitution by the technical form of law by which it was voted down, you are now called on to give it vitality but if you approach it in a spirit of statesmanship, you find that it was not the embodiment of the will of the people hence I deny your right to make it the organic law—and if it becomes so, it will be by an Act of Congress, and not by the will of the people.

We arc told that the Constitution may •be changed, and that it is a small matter. The principle is the same, when you set the example of violating tho principles of free government for a day, as for a year, aud give precedents to unscrupulous men.

Further, it is said that the people may change their Constitution when they will, and that they had uo right to tic their own hands until 1864. He held it as a fair interpretation ing it was prcs was proscribed, and it could not be altered until 1804. lie did not objcct to it because it bound them until 1864. If it is the will of the peoplo, and if it is not, you have no right to bind them to it for a single hour. ••••,

To 'inculcate the idea that the Government is making war upon the people of Utah on account of their religion is doubtless the object and motive of Brigham Young and his confidential agents. They know what the history of the world clearly proves, that the people will .fight for their religion, their faith, more earnestly and perseveringly than for any other object, aud if this feeling can once be fully aroused the population of that Territory will be completely under the control and direction of their leaders. In the "memorial" they ask: "Do you wish us to deny our God and renounce our religion? That we shall not do. "We are at the dcfiancc of earth and hell to prove that wc have done aught to offend he go

What right has Congress to annul the provisions prohibiting a change until 1864? If Congress can change one clause, it mayannul or alter another and another, until the whole instrument may be subverted.— Tou have no right to anuul it, or alter, or construe it. Lay not your sacrilegious hands upon it. Farewell to State llights and State Sovereignty, when Congress undertakes to construe

State Constitutions.—

States would become provinces, with no more independence than their counties have now.

The latter portion of his speech was devoted to the Washington Union, attributing its hostility to his declining to vote for the publisher as a public printer.

Mr. Toombs went into a puerile attack on Mr. Douglas's course in relation to the Missouri Compromise, and asked how many of his present confederates then voted'with him. He then retorted on the Douglas party whereas, they had said that no slavery Constitution could be imposed'upon the people against their will, they had

Adjourned. TO-DAS'S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE.—The Senate is again crowded to-day

Mr. Green replied to Mr. Douglas, denying the assertion of the Senator from Michigan, that the friends of the Lecompton Constitution have been driven from their position. Jo 'r.

The Spnaior from Illinois' implied the same thing but it is not BO. Committee's report stands unchallenged its cvery-individual dliargc is sustained by official evidence, and the only exception taken to the report is by the senior Senator from Vermont who objects to the harsh appellation of rebels.

The Senator from Illinois, says that the only reason why he did not submit the whole Constitution, was because it was said it would be voted down. Who said so?— No one cxcept the Senators from Illinois and Michigan.

He hiade some desultory and preliminary remarks in reply to the Senators from Michigan, Illinois, and Vermont, and then went into the main line of the argument, saying that the Kansas government was the government de facto quite as much as in the case of California even if you admit that the alleged frauds were committed

He drew a parallel betweon the cases of Kansas and California, citing Mr. Douglas* opinions on the latter, in support of his views on the former.

He said that the statement that nineteen counties were disfranchised in Kansas meant to deceive. Those counties were a wilderness without inhabitants. He defended the legality of the early steps for the formation of the Lccompton Constitution and denied the assertions of the Senator from Vermont, (Foster) that there were broken pledges on the part of Walker and the President. Everybody knows that Walker was in favor of submitting the Constitution to the people. He advocated it, but had no power to pledge it.

:'5

The great question is, does the Constitution embody the will of the people. We cannot take the flying rumors and opinions of Governors as evinencc. That is fraught with a danger, that if carried out in its ultimatum, would bring bristling bayonets and cannon, pointed at the walls of the Capitol, to substitute the opinions of the mob for the forms of law. All the legal forms having been complied with in completing the Lccompton Constitution, it was a completed enactment and the people had no right to vote whether or not, it was a Constitution.

Mr. Crittendon said that he would not rc-opcn the debate, but would make an explanation that his statements were made from ofiic'al rccourds, and not on the conversations of the Governors of Kansas.— lie thanked God that lie could distinguish right from wrong, and had the courage to say so. lie wished neither to build up nor break down any party.

A SAD IIONEYMOON.

Our readers, remember tho trial, conviction, and sentence, at the United States Court in Cleveland, of Charles Albaugh, of Mount Gilead, for robbing the mail.— The Columbus Gazette gives the following:

Charles Albaugh is only twenty years of age, and the events of the past few months will fill an important chapter in his life's history. On Christmas day he eloped with a landlord's daughter, a Miss-German, in her sixteenth year, went to Alexandria, Pennsylvania, and was married. An effort was made to keep the affair a secret, but it was discovered by the girl's parents, who were highly incensed at,tbeir daughter's imprudence.

On the 28th- of January, Mr. Prentiss, the United States Mail Agent, arrested Albaugh upon a charge of robbing tho mail, lie was taken to Cleveland tried,, convicted and sentenced before the United States Court, and upon reaching Cardington, on his way to the peptcntiary, tho young wife came aboard the cars to bid farewell to her convict husband. Th« meeting was a painful, and affecting one.— She begged him to keep up his spirits, to make firm resolve to do his whole duty while in prison. She vowed to stick to liun though all the rest of the world should forsake him "for," said she, "Charley, wc are both young, we have years of happiness in store for us, and when your timo has expired, wc can go to some other land, where the offencc is not known, where w* can live happily together and earn an honest livelihood."

The car was full of passengers, who witnessed the sccnc with tearful emotion The conductor, who at tho request of tho officers, had kindly delayed a few moments to give the young couplc anepportunity of meeting each other, at last notified them that he could delay no longer, and tho
