Use my Populeum, and 'twill be Treasured long and dear by thee. Wealth may buy yoa Wig's most fair, We are going to dash at once in to the impa'ssionod errors of probably four out of every five who will read this article. If ever tho present system of criminal law, and the treatment of criminals, offered an instance of one of its fruits, that instance is the precocious monster Freeman, the butcher of five human beings last week in Cayuga co in this slate as wo have already published tho dark and dreadful narrative. Roader 1 you may meet such a remark as the foregoing, with a scowl, or an impatient jibe but if we nro not, in our own mind, clear in its truth, may we never get sight of Heaven hereafter The present excited state of public feeling will, of course, lead the representatives of society in due time to paddle in his blood, as he in that of his victims. The murder will surely bo revenged.

Wo can therefore do no harm by seizing the occasion to draw as profitable a lesson as wo may from the whole case. Il is no inviting task but few tasks are inviting. Let us examine somewhat of the murderer's life: So far as any thing can bo gathered from the facts brought to light, Freeman seems to be an uneducated, friendless outcast. He has never had tho benefit of any kind of teaching or counsel and never lived within any fixed moral or religious influences. His whole character is of the most blindly brutal cast a mere human animal.

At the early age of nineteen, he is accused of a crime of which ho says he is not guilty, and through the influence of Mr. Van Ness, is sent to the Slate Prison for five years 1 Now consider how few of belter fortune, even of virtuous and religious character. would not deeply feel the wrong and injustico of such proceedings, and be roused to the fiercest hate against those who had been instrumental in bringing them to it. How much mure terrible the effect then on this neglected, ignorant and depraved neiro, in whom the brute had been allowed to rule the man. For five long and weary years he is shut up in prison, and loft to brood over his wrongs.

He can make no distinction between the inevitable mistakes of the law and human testimony, and what he imagines is a determination to crush him. He thinks only of his laborous imprisonment day after day, monlh after month, till il has taken possession of all his thoughts; and the purpose of revenge, which to him is justice, has become lo him the very breath of life. If society had dealt tenderly with him during Ibis awful period; if some minutering angel had come and heard his sorrowful story, and sought to bring him under kindly influences, and taught him the beautiful christian law, Love your enemies bless thoso who curse you if this had been done he might have been saved, and his victims been still in the midst of the living. But this was not done. The neglected wretch was left to his fate, left to be haunted by his foul passions, and at last to be turned out to do their own bidding without a word of warning, or one friend to guide or bless.

Is it a matter of wonder then, that the result is what wc have seen Is it strange that the wild beast prevailed That the wretch had worked himselfintoa terribly calm and blind ferocity, appears from the whole account of the murder. The idea of revenue seems lo have swallowed up all things else. He seems to have become bewildered and blinded by his purpose of blood. He not only strikes the object of bis spite, the man who did him the' supposed wrong, but indiscriminately, as though running the bloody muck. With a frightful coolness, he plunges his knife into all whom he meets, sacrificing guilty and innocent alike.

He destroys those wbo never did him harm, whom he never saw, and against whom he could have had no possible hatred or ill feeling; 1 This very horror of the butchery, shows how thoroughly diseased and confused the whole moral being of the murderer had beoorne. What remains then Hang him. In the work of dcuth, let the law keep up with the murderer, and sec who will get the victory at last. Homicides are increasing in every part of the land. We are amazed that the gallows don't stop 'em.

Let its advocates not be backward, however. Let them stick it out staunchly, and kill and slay the faster and, even if the more they hang tho moro they pre 'r (pare lo hang, let them Keep it up sua for is not such The SABSATn. Yesterday was a peculiarly beau tiful day for the season, and our church going people were out in great numbers. Tho conservative in fluences of tho Sabbath were never more apparent. The various places of public worship wero unusually well filled, and the day passed off in harmony, peac0 and good order.

In tho evening, there was a very numerourj audito. ry assembled in the Baptist church, corner of Pierre poni ana lhnton streets to listen to the discourso whioh was announcedby Rev. Dr. Matthews, upon the relation of Civil Freedom to the Scriptures." Arter selting forth the dependence which every thing human has upon the great truths of the scriptures, and that government, amnne tho rest, was an ema nation trom we Almighty, and not the instrument of man, the speaker proceeded to notice tho impiety which now prevails, especially in high places. Civil freedom was, he said, an ordinance of God, and tho rightful possession of a nation and it was high timo that this great subject was rescued Irom the profanity which has long attached to it.

This reckless spirit of infidelity manifested itself in scoffing at tho wisdom of the Bible and a desire to pull down every thing built upon it Tho wise now belicvo that a grand contest is approaching. While he did not believe in a union of church and state, the speaker held that civil freedom and religion are necessarily adapted to each other. They had, it was true, been at times separated but it was only during the captivity of the one and tho disorganization of the other. The great contest was shortly lo be between civil freedom anil piety on the one hand, and anarchy and infidelity on the other. With such a struggle staring us in the face, it was incumbent upon us to fortify our religion.

The first step was to create a general belief in the divine origin of the scriptures; but the proof of this he would defer until another lecture. Tho ecrms of civil freedom had been found in Palestine, Geneva and Holland; but in our own happy land it delights to dwell in all its purity. Here it is superior to what existed in Greece and Rome, inasmuch as it has acquired a symmetry and beauty from Christianity which those countries know nothing of. He would mention a very striking fact, viz: that where a groat change or improvement was designed by the Almighty, its dissemination was provided for by the discovery of some irrcat agent to bring il about. It was so with the Reformation, for in immediate connection with that great era was the discovery of i iunti.nq We are now upon the verge ol an era when Christianity and civilization will he extended to tho remotest corners of the earth and the agent for accomplishing this much desired event is the power of steam.

It was destined to do more than the lover of Archimides. To what extent the character of nations would bo changed by this means he would not say but ho could not think that the in. dicat ions of the present day were intended as an empty display. Every thing showed that tho influence of this country on the whole woffd was to be mighty lor cither ill or good. He trembled at the chance of that influence being unpropilious.

It, therelorc, behoved every christian minister to be at work in time; to speak out and loud; and call upon every man locsiunale the solemn responsibility which weighed uj.on us. Much had been given us, and much would ho required. It was therefore time to be up and doing, and whatever was done should be done quickly. Parents should train their children to take the best part in the approaching drama of nations. We should be imbued with a higher spirit than that which prompted the boast of the Roman matron that she was the mother of the Gracchi." The speaker ended with an eloquent indication of our duties in this respect Alarms of Fire.

There were several attempts last evening to get up an alarm of fire, which wero at last successful. One engine, however, we believed had the glory all to itself; and raced through several streets of the city, much lo the annoyance of several religious congregations. Any other evening than Sunday would be quite as appropriate for this kind of fun. The Streets We are happy to say that the proper officers have employed a small army of laborers, with horses and carts, to clear away tho accumulated filth in the streets. When this important desideratum shall have been accomplished, and the shade trees put forth thoir luxuriant foliage, our avenues will present the appearance, usual in a Brooklyn summer, of as near an approach to Arcadia as is possibl in these degenerate times.

Brutal Villainy; all we have read or heard of cold heaited villainies committed by the lords of creation," there are lew that in deliberate wickedness, surpass the following. Wc get it on the authority of the Philadelphia Ledger. Two men named Buckman and Leatherbcrry, co partners in the carpenter business in the district of Spring Garden, both having wives and children, have for the past thirteen ruonms ocen paying ineir aaurcsscs to two young taking the assumed names of Green and Johnson One of tho females resided in Spring Garden, and the other in tho city, and they were both members of a church in tho district. On Thursday evening last, in consequence of the suspicions of the family in which one of the females lived, in relation to her condition, and information from her obtained in consequence, Lealhcrberry was induced lo marry her. He immediately afterwards decamped, and since that time he has not been seen or heard from.

His partner in business and in crimo was then sus peeled, and upon further investigation arrested and committed, in default of bail, by one of the city Al dermen. Not the slightest suspicions were previous ly excited ut any time against the men, as their ap pearance and demeanor indicated the most honest intention on their part, until tho absence of the one was noticed. The females, it is said, bore irreproachable cha racters, and were highly esteemed in the families where they had resided, one for a year past, and the other for four yenrs. Sir Robart i'eel's great speech. Of Sir Robert Peel's free trade speech, the Euro pean Times says: Old and practised an orator as ho is educated amongst a galaxy of great men the contemporary, yonthiui though no was at the time, ol the gifted spirits who threw a halo round the close of the last, and the first quarler of the present century he was never known to be so sound in argument, so pointed in satire, so overwhelmingly crushing by his facts, figures, and deductions, as on this memorable occa sion.

Taken in all its bearings, tho speech will stand the test of comparison with the most successful ef forts ol oratory in ancient or modern limes. It wag the speech of his life; he has never excelled, and never can surpass it. This great effort, which will bo found at considerable length in our columns must have had its effect in swelling the majority lo ninety seven it must surely have proved an exception to the remark which was once made by a Scotch member I have heard many a speech which changed my opinion, but I never heard one which changed my vote Clergymen, in their stated preaching," do well to inculcate the duties of peace on earth and good wi to man. But they have no business with political allusions, in any way and commit an insufferable impcrtiuenco when Ihey indulgo in them. Com.

oDservca a short time ago, an address to the inhabitants of Kings, Queens and Suffolk counties upon L.

Now this corresponds with my ideas exactly, and I havo tho't of it many years ago but I havo not troubled myself about such affairs, for, as Rusticus says, they were good and proper at tho time they were adopted, and, so was King's College and so was Great Queen street, etc.

4t Are wc never to have any public parka in Brooklyn In the eourse of an hour's stroll yesterday afternoon over Brooklyn Heights, and the demesnes that there adjacent lie," we realized more fullv than ever before, the shameful loss which has occurred to the city ol Brooklyn, and its generations yet unborn," from not having the said heights preserved as a public ground. The expense, twenty years ago, would have formed no great item, and it might have been arranged so as to require only a smalj yearly outlay. But no matter now, of course the ground is mostly built upon, and wo must direct our offorls to what remains unoccupied. A beautiful promenade might be yet mado of the Picrrepont "ground, and the tract immediately adjoining it toward the Fulton ferry, taking part of Columbia street, and up lo the street above. Cleared, graded and planted with trees, and a fine walk made on the verge, it would even then be one of the most beautiful public grounds in the world.

It would go ahead of the famous New York Battery for the view would be immensely wider and farther. It would bo a spot lifted, as it were, out fiom the staled city, and offeiing all the advantages of magnificent prospect, sea air, and a jaunt into the country. On tho other side of the town, the elevated range called Fort Green is just tho spot for another public ground. It is far better than that miserable piece of a place, contiguous to the Navy Yard.jvhich will never amount to anything, whatever amount of money should be expended on it. Of course there would be no fairness in giving only one section of tho city a park, and not the other.

The ready rejoinder to such suggestions is, the expense tho increase of taxes which it would cause. Now we think the two parks we have mentioned would be far moro serviceable to the city than the new and costly Hall they are going to build. But wc are sure that arrangements of some kind might be made to get the ground without incurring a direct and heavy expense to the citizens. Where there's a will, there's a way and wo hope our crude and hasty hints will strike sonic of our readers in a manner to produce from them an elaborate plan which will carry out the desired work. OTejtico ruled by a.

foreign Kins' From tho givings out of the Mexican papers, and also the tone of the leading London press, it ap. pears lo be every way probable that a design is on foot lo make Mexico a monarchy, and place a foreign prince upon its throne. What particular object this scheme intends to accomplish, farther than it bears on its face, is not very clear but there is doubtless a wheel within a wheel," about it. Nop'an of the kind could be hatched, except by tho aid of foreign powers, and to do them some real or fancied good It is not improbablo that there may be a design through a Mexican King a puppet worked by the great European courts to hold the United Stales in cheek. If this cannot be done by Mexico as it is, however, we don't see how it stands any belter chance of success under a royal rule.

The only dif. ference will be that the quarrels of a nursling of France and England might be espoused by the go vernments of those two countries, through some specious pretext or other. There is a phrase, the integrity of the empire," which makes the convenient avenue to all kinds of intermeddling by tho Holy Alliance." Mexico herself tho masses of that country can hardly, wc think, under any circumstances voluntarily consent to bo governed by a foreign king, or any king ut all. They might be forcod or cnjoled into it.lhoiigh wc have not much idea of either agency being sufficient to succeed in the case. The Ferry Bill in danger A bill (vide our legislative report) has been introduced into the Assembly of this State to repeal the act in relation to ferries between New York and Long Island passed at the last session of the Lcgis lature.

The effect of this repeal, if accomplished, will be to again insert in tho charter of the city of New York a provision by which a tribute will be levied upon us for tho use of the waters of the East River a privilego to which we have as clear a right as to breathe the air. Shall this royal usurpation be again revived among us Philadelphia Elections. The Native American party elected their candidates in every ward (five) in Sonthwark, six of the even in Kensington and five of the seven in Spring Garden, on Friday. In the City proper tho Whigs carried fifteen wards, and the Democrats two. Tho four wards of Moyamensing elected Democrats, as did Frankfort Borough, and the unincorporated northern liberties.

Thcro were sonic riots, but nothing serious. Enersry of the Post Office! Very late from Philadelphia and Washington Tho Philadelphia Ledger of last Friday morning, which got in Now York before 1 o'clock P. Al. on that day, hasjust come to hand Monday, 10 A. M.

having made its passage from tho N. Y. Post Office lo Brooklyn, (distance less than two miles) in the unprecedented short period of two days and twenty one hours The same enterprising agency has furnished us with the Washington Union of last Thursday, which arrived in N. Y. on Friday night.

Incredible to tell, this has only been about fifty hours in eretsing the East says he, one forenoan, an du you go and break your clarnal nccusa nam down lull in that hoglroth, and you sco what you'll ketch when I gat hold on you, that's all.

Where's your manners Haint I told you morc'n a hundred times 'bout thai Now, start, one to a time, and when you git to the door turn and make your manners, every one on you. Sy Harrington, come right straight back here, sir! You're a terrible smart feller, aim you Mebby you tho't i didn't see you, when you was a prctendin' to make a bow, bump your forrard agin Reuben John son's nose, on purpose Jest see how you made it bleed don't cry Reuben, it'll feel belter arlcr it's doncachin." I didn't go tu du it; Rube came pusliin' upjesl as I turned round to make iny manners, I didn't have room to du it, Hhoul hitlin' him on the nose." What did you push up in that fashion for, Reuben hadn't you no morse sense than thai?" I couldn't help il Jim Wright stuck a pin into me, and it kinder made me jump forrard a little, and" Well, go long nut, both on you, and behave yourselves, and tell Jcems Wright to cum here I have bisness of importance tu du with And away went the boys, and they hadn't been out tow minutes afore they was both mounted on a hand sled strcaken it down hill like chain lite'nin'. There wasn't a boy in sehool that wasn't a coaslin' in soino way or other. Sonic was on sleds, some on planks, some on logs, some in wooden trays and them that hadn't nolhin' else to ride on, would set flat down on the ice, and let others drag 'cm by two strings tied round their ankles.

But they all remembered what Dr. Phil Ant'ny told 'cm, and nobody didn't tech the big hog trolh. There it stood, right on the starting pint, as crazy as a hair trigger logo off. I've seen a dozen fellers get into it, all twisted together like a streak, and all tumble into a soft snow bank together, at the bottom of the hill, like young rats in a meal tub. Wall, putty soon Dr Phil Ant', ny came out of the school house to look for Jim Wright, but Jim had jest started in his little tray the swiftest craft on the track, 'cept the big hog troth and his red bushy hair was biginnin' to stream back like a blaze sf fire.

cried Dr. Phil, "stop, you little sorpint, or I'll be arier you, and give you the worst lickin' you ever got in your life" "I can't," cried Jim, looking back, the critter's started, and tain't no use to try to stop her, now't shos got tho bit in her teeth. By thunder and lite'nin," hollered Dr. Phil, and stomped down his foot, and up flew both his liecls, and down he went, kcrwhollop into the hog troth, and away he went with his feet stickin' up right in Jim's wake, Jim seed him comin' and put spurs to his hoss, that is to say, he struck his pikes into the ice, and pushed ahead, as if he was 'scapin from a railroad. On went Dr.

Phil like a whirlwind, and as he was overtakin Jim hand over hand, or rather heels overhead, and was a runnin' afoul on lvim, when the troth teched a lump of ice and sheered off al a tangent. Tho boys all stopped and looked at the schoolmaster, some on 'cm eenamoust aston ished out of their breath, and others ready to burst a Inffiin. Whiz wont the troth, down the sloepcsl part of the hill. An old log, half buried in the ice, lay right ac.ress Dr. Phil's path, and the boys all knew mighty well what was comin', some on 'cm had been shipwrecked on that log afore.

He'll git hisled now, sartin," aaid Sv Harrington, jumpin' up and down, and slappin' his thighs there he goes, by hokey and sure 'nuff, there he did go, for tho troth struck the log and leaped six foot high into tho air, throwin' Dr. Phil ten foot down the hill, whirlin' over and over like a buzz, and he never stopped till he went splash into tho bilin' spring, where the cattle went to drink and had trod it full of soft mud. Where's the schoolmaster shouted Jim Wright, crawlin' out of the snow bank where he had landed, and ehakin' the snow out of his hair "crackey! if I didn't think he'd ketch mc at one timo The boys all ran to tho bilin' spring, and there lay Dr. Phil Ant'ny, all kivered with mud and snow, jjroanin' aloud, and tears of anger and agony starlin' out his eyes. His thigh and rib was broke.

Phil was a kind hearted man, and tho boys all loved him. He used tu talk savage tu us sometimes, but then he didn't use tu hurt us. The little boys stood round and cried when Phil told us that his leg was broke, and the big ones took hold of him, kecrful, and kcr zjed him to the schnolhouse, and then pulled bun over to his father's on a hand sled. Our beloved school, master never got up again. Long lingered our dear friend Upon that bed of pain The doctor could not mend His shuttered bones again.

ARB the Days of Chea the Eagle Office, 39 Fulton st, eap Printing, at Plant trees Of a surely, the greatest loveliness of Brooklyn consists in the plentifulnessof its trees those tokens of nature and freshness which are scattered so plentifully all through tho streets. The more we have of them the better.

There are several sections in East and South Brooklyn, which have been much built upon of late, and which retain a bare brick and morlary appearance from the absence of trees and verdure. Now is the time to remedy the deficiency. Now is the lime to plant trees. Don't fail of improving it The willow and tho alanthus seem to be among the best, as they are the most popular shade trees for cities. There aro many others, however, which one can plant, according to fancy and which will richly repay the trifling expense and trouble.

Wo particularly enjoin on the owners and permanent occupants of houses to attend to these hints. Property, with trees and shrubbery, is always more valuable, and hnUs a readier sale, and a readier rentage than without.
