Chase has returned to Ohio after a long visit to New England. He made a speech at the "commencement" at Obcrlin, on Wednesday. S3" E. C. O'Hagan, well known to the Mercantile community hereabouts, was accidentally drowned in Philadelphia, on Saturday last. Off With-- . Their Heads. William Florence, Douglas Democrat and Post Master' at Big Plains in Madison co., has been removed and Dr. B. F. Welsh, Bu- chanan Democrat, appointed in his place. ' S3T Among the ' new Presidential combinations js .that of Senators Bright and Sltsxll one to be President aud the other Vice President. Which is to be which and which tother, has not been ascertained. Texas Senator. Gov. Runnels has appointed Col. Matthew Ward U. S. Sen ator, to supply the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Henderson. Ward was a defeated Democratic candidate for Con- gress in 1855. stST The first News Despatch by the Atlantic Cable was received in New York on Friday last. It anuounced that the Al- lied Powers bad made a peace with China, by the terms of which all the ports of that country are to be thrown open to the Com- merce of the world. 3T The Filibuster folks feel little inter- est id the present movement of Gen. Walker looking to another series of piracies. The Filibusters themselves have lost faith in the blue grey-eye-d man of destiny. His manifust destins is bftnepforlli tr Vnn mil j r cf the way of honest men and enterprises, or be crushed like a spider. t3T The ' ' Democrats in the Zanesville District have a little more grit than they Have in ours, there they have put in nomination CoL Masnypenny, a very excellent man, as their candidate. The Lecomptonitcs have nominated a can didate of their own and the Republicans have put in nomination a third man. -- r ST'The Washington correspondent of the N,' Y. Timet, says that a deputation of Hard Shells from Ohio arc now in that city to induce the President to turn out of of fice more of the Douglas men. One by one the heads of the Douglas men drop into the basket and there is no one asks why 'tis so, or wheu the avenger will be satisfied. tST Secretary Cobb is in trouble. He does not know anything about the manage- ment of the Treasury. He expected the revenue from customs about this time to be enormous. But it is still slender, - and be feels that an end must come, and that speedily, to this borrowing business. The trouble is to decide what shall be the fi- nancial policy of the Democratic party. It won't win. Dimmock may lnake-- a great display of "Horse Type," over Burns' nomination, and talk about tha en- thusiasm with which it was received, &c, but it's ail for nix. Nobody believes it. You can't get up any enthusiasm on Burns. Ho has - been tried in the scales, and found wanting. He has proven him- self a bad egg, as the boys say. The pa- pers that support him 'may talk and hur- rah over his nomination, bat the heart . of the people ain't with them. ; Burns has lost caste among them by his base be- trayal of the North, and though they may not like to vole for a Republican they won't vote for Bceso. Burns Defies the Will of his Constituents. When the Bill for the admission of Kan- sas under the Leconipton Constitution was first introduced into Congres, there was scarcely, a Northern man to be found that favored its passage. It was looked upon in the North as a base attempt to-- fasten upon a people institutions aud laws that were odious to them, aud in the framing of which they were allowed no agency. Gen. Burks was then in Congress from this District, aud from all parts of it letters were sent him asking him to exert himself, to defeat the BilL As to his own vote being cast against it, no man entertained a doubt. In his Address to his Constitu ents before his election, lie declared him- self in favor of Kansas being left free to say whether she would have Slavery or not, aud on the eve of starting to Washington, he was heard to declare with emphasis, that though every other member voted for the Leconipton fraud, he would not. He de- dared he would suffer death before he would vote to inflict upon Kansas so great a wrong. Now what was the result ? A little later in the session, but before a vote had been taken in the House npon the Bill, word was given out that Burns was himself a little shakey upon Lecompton. His friends denied it. One man declared to us that he had then in his pocket a let- ter from the Gen., declaring his determina- tion to vote agaiust it. In this letter he blated that he was urged by the South and by the Administration men to vote for it, but that he would not do to! Dozens of letters from prominent Democrats in this town and county were addressed him, eve ry one of which, urged him by all means to vote against the Bill and to help defeat it at all hazzards! Did he vote against tt? Tell us ye Democrats who were so loud in denunciation of this Lecompton iniquity who were so positive that Gen. Burns would Vote as you talked and felt llien. How did lie vote? Was It in accordance with your much boasted doctrine of Pop- ular Sovereignty of letting people have the privilege of framing their own Consti- tution, &c, or was it in accordance to the bidding of the South I He repudiated the will of his constituency, made a sacrifice of the honest promptings of his own heart, and voted to fasten upon the people of Kausas a Constitution that they have just rejected by a vote of nine to one! Is this the kind of aReptesentative the free voters of this District wish to have represent them ! We do not believe it, we cannot believe it, J3T William IIklmice, Esq., the Re- publican candidate for Congress in this Dis- trict, paid our town a visit on ' Wednesday last He was called upon by a number of citizens of both political parties, and it our opponents did not go away resolved to vote for him, they could not but confess' that in Mr. Helmick, the Republicans bad a can- didate every way worthy of their votes. In tho evening he was serenaded by the Milllersburg Brass Band, and the ingather ing at the American was quite large. Mr. Hslmick, being called upon, made a neat and appropriate Adddress, returning thanks for the kind manner in which he had been received, and assuring the voters there as sembled, that if elected, be would not be found saying one thing before the election and voting contrary to those pledges after wards. '. J& The Mt. Vernon Republican sug gests that the Republicans of this District, employ the "Eloquent Stambatjgh" to take the stump in favor of Burks. It thinks this is all that would be necessary to elect Hslmick the Republican candi date. We object to the arrangement. We want Burns beaten, but want him fairly beaten, not chawed up by a friend. If there was any man living that we hated right bad, we could wish him no worse punishment than to be praised by the "El oqueut Stambaugh." If that didn't pizen him nothing else would. More Nice than Wise. Almost every nighborhood has some men iu it who are so awfully pious that they cau't read a political newspaper, and so fixed iu the bo lief that they are right and everybody else is wrong, that they would as soon set their foot into the fire as into the church dooi of any denomination but their own, yet these men will talk to you for hours about the bigotry, ignorance and intolerance of the Catholic church. We much fear that when they die, the load of hypocrisy which they will carry to Heavens gale, will be so large as to preclude thoir gaining an there. ' g When the English Bill was intro- duced into the House, Cox tho Locofoco Representative from the Columbus District, wrote a letter to the Ohio Statesman iu which he pronounced it "a damned bight meaner than the Senate Bill !" But Cox like BCkns had to cave in before tho de- mands of the South. Burns used worse language then this against Lecompton, and voted for it! 2THon. Geo. E. Pugh, is posted to address the Democracy of Holmes county on the 30th, day of September. How fit- ting a selection to send into this Congres- sional District, Pugh made a speech for Lecompton aDd voted against it. Burns pledged himself against it and voted for it. Pugh and Burns, glorious pinks of con- sistency, talking one way and voting the other. JtTheman with the "spike-tailed- " coat, built, it is supposed, about the time Noah and his family landed at Ml Ararat, was in town the other day looking for a copy of Burns' speech accepting the nom ination for Congress. He said he "dinks Burns will carry German township.' ' A Poor Apology,- - Gen.' Burns gives as a reason for voting for Lecompton and all tha other iniquitous measures of the Administration, that if he hadn't done so. be would have been in bad repute with the President, and consequently could have got no appointments to office for any of his con- stituents. He sold himself then, for of-- fi. e. not for himself, but for others. He voted contrary to his own honest senti ments and contrary to the Inown will of his constituents, to oblige a few office seek ers in his District. This he acknowledges to. 'We have no doubt of the truth of it. We have no doubt but lien. Burns was promised appointments for those he had made application for, if he would help carry Lecompton through. He says himself, and we hardly know which is the most to his shame, the selling of himself and betrayel of his constituents or his ac knowledging to the fact now. Well, the sacrifice was a great one, and should hav been well rewarded. Principle is some- thing that every man should hold dear and when he concents to sacrifice it for gain, the price paid should be a largo one. How many offices did Uen. burns suc- ceed in fretting for his censtiluents. Jibt one! JVb, not one! He had applications by the score, and good encouragement was given him until tho English swindle was consumaled, when he was cooly told that the posts he was seeking ifter for hi; friend's were already filled.' Gen. Burns then sold himself as it turned out for nothing. Cheap enough. Interesting. One half of the Clerks in the public offices at Washington city have been sent West to assist in re-el- ting the Lecompton Members of Congress. This explains what the President meaut in his letter to Bill English, promising to aid him in his if he could only secure the nomination. Tho pay of these Clerks still runs on, whilst their expenses are paid out of the National Treasury. Thai's the way the Peoples Money goes, pop goes the Weasel. We have not heard of any of these im ported electioneers being in this Congres sional District as yet. Perhaps they read Burns speech accepting the nomination, and thought him qualified to hoe his own roe. That speech! How it would sound on the "whangdoodle," set to the tune o "Poor Mary Biane." Gen. Joseph Burns. We see that the democracy of Knox count v instructed their delegates to sup port Gen. Burns for to Congress, and the probability is that he will be re nominated and We have no desire to meddle in the af fairs of our neighbors of the loth district, but we must be permitted to say that the renominatiou of Gen. Burns would be hailed with great satisfaction by the Democracy hereabouts. It is true be voted to admit Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, but in that he was honest, and acted with a large majority of the members of Con T 11 I. ". gress. Liecompton is now uunea tei 11 rest. The above is taken from the Wayne County Democrat of July 28. We call attention, to the acknowledgment therein contained, namely, that Gen. Burns DID volo to admit Kanssa under the Lecomp ton Constitution. Burns, now denies it and some of his friends deny it also. Probably they had better deny that he ever wa3 in Congress at all. Go in Cripples. Tho unterified De mocracy of Mt, Vernon took a new way of adjourning their Democratic Club Meet' ing, one evening last week. It broke vp in a fight! They have two rival Democratic papers there, aud at the meeting referred to, tne iLUitor ot tne one, uaston, was called on for a speech. Objections were raised by Harper's friends, compliment ry epithets were applied to each other, and then camo blows. They fit and they fit, biting off noses and gogueing out eyeses, until the outsiders interfered and restor- ed order. gST Burns' speech on accepting tho nomination was composed of just sixteen words. As soon as the Sub-Mari- Tele- graph under Killmck is. completed we shall send it, (tho speech, not the Tele- graph,) to Zackstown, where it will doubt less be appropriately received, and after being set to mus e will be sang through the principal streets aud alleys of that town, accompanied by the whang-doodl- e Swienett, S3T It is said by the knowing ones, that when the Democratic members of Congress from Ohio all concluded to go for the En glish Bill, tbey pledged themselves to each other to throw all their influence for the of all the present dele gation. Ihey have succeeded in carrying out this purpose in the districts until the meeting of tho Sixth District (Clermont) Convention the other day, wheu Cocker- - ill, tho present member was overthrow u aud Howard nomiuated. Captured. We recently noticed the escape of the notorious Barnes, a patdoned out penitentiary bird, and two or three other criminals from the Coshocton county jail. Tho Sheriff offered a reward of $300 for their capture, and Burns and Gest were taken last week in a cornfield in Licking county. Barnes, when discovered, tried flight but was headed off and taken to jail again. Shame. Throughout ' tho State Gen. Burns is called the ushirt-tai- T candidate. The Gen. did not tear his own shirt, but requested his constituents not to tear theirs. Thev didn't, lint nrfl uutt.innr the second Tuesday of October for a chance to tear his. They dislike boin' betrayed into the hands of tho Slave oligarchy, and then wuen tbey remonstrate, to Lo cooly told not lo "tear their shirts" about it. Hon. L. D. Campbell Nominated talks right out in Meeting. Congressional District, composed of the counties of Butler, Preble and Montgomery, was held on the 24th ult at wbicli the Hon. Lewis D. Campbell was not only nominated unanimously but eutnusiasticai ly. John G. Lowe, of Dayton presided, and after the vote of each county had been declared for Campbell without a dissent, some delegate moved to make the nomin- ation unauimous. A delegate replied "He's got that already." When the Chair added "That's so, but some of these gen tlemen want to shout. I put the motion say aye; now holler. lhe "boiler beggared description. Mr. Campbell was brought before the Convention, and we find him thus reported in the Cincinnati Gentlemen of the Convention: I have just been informed by your committee that 1 bave received by acclamation your nomin- ation to represent the people of the Third District of Ohio in Congress. This Con- vention represents those people who are known as Republicans, and all others who oppose the present Administration 1 (turn ing to the chair) Am I right 1 Chair "Yes." Has any platform been laid down? Chair "A one." You have then seen proper to designate me as the standard bearer of the opposition to a most perfidious Administration, in the coming conflict. My record is well-know- n to you all. I have heretofore during ray whole political career, both iu Congress and iu my district, opposed the extension of slavery to territories now free. I am no novice in politics. It is now 30 years since I commenced my public career; thirty years this month since I left the humble roof of my parents on the banks of the Mi- ami, and entered into politics. Some may doubt this statement, because it is said I have rather a youthful appear- ance. Chair "Well no matter about that now, Mr. Campbell, there are no ladies present." Mr. Campbell continued : In 1828 I became carrier in the office of the Cincinnati Gazelle, and was what is generally known as the printer's devil. That was 30 years ago this month, and from that day until the latter part of May last, he had .been mixed up in all the po- litical contests of the time, aud had always advocated the great doctrines of human liberty. But in May last his political ca- reer had been suddenly and unscrupulously arrested by a course unparalleled in the his- tory of the world, or iu that part of it at least, where civilization and law prevail, or the popular will is respected. The people of tho third district were told that they had no right to elect their representative that right belonged to Congress. By that act his polilcal career was not however ter- minated ; it was only suspended for a while ; ho was switched off the track laughter because he refused lo bend his knee to exe- cutive power. To-da- y he had again received the ap- pointment of their standard-beare-r. He was wearied and worn out by political life aud quite willing to have retired. . There were many others in the district, well wor- thy to represent it. Here he named a long list of Congressional aspirants. "This nomination is tendered me," con tinued Mr. Campbell, "without any solic- itation on my part. If there is any man direct or iudirect means, this high honor, then I am bound to decline it. Is there anv such i" Two voices crie'd "No ! No !" Then I'll lake it, come weal or wo come victory or come death. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, to use the language of the immortal John Adams, I'll embark in this cause, and I'll carry it through.'' Applause. As you have passed no resolutions it may be well for me to tell you what I mean to do if I am elected. My record is written iu the memories of the men around me, who have heard me in this District for the last eighteen years, and for the last uine years, iu the history of tne turouient congress. First, then, I'm opposed to the exten sion of slavery (applause), because when our government was founded, it was uni versally recoguized as an evil by our fa thers, ana was expected that the States should tolerate it until they could free themselves from the evil, and by no means liould it ever be extended into territory then free. I will oppose, as I have hereto fore, the extension of slavery into territory now free. 1 will oppose tho admission of all new btates witb froslavery Constitu tions. I will vote for the admission of Kansas, whether she has ten thousand or a hundred thousand inhabitants when she applies with a Constitution making her a free State. That is the material issue in this canvass, and to that issue I am com mitted. Mr. Campbell then reviewed the histo ry of tho Missouri Compromise spoke at Wngth on its repeal ot the Crittenden amendment the English compromise bill the misgovernment of Kansas the JJred Scott decision the revision of the tariff the profligacy of the governme- nt- its sharp nuauceeriug, and its expenditure for tne current year of one hundred mil- lions. Ho staled that he had been assured by prominent Democrats in Congress, that he should not be disturbed in his seat, if he would keep quiet on the Lecompton bu siness, uuu aiier iiis rejection a proposition bad been made to bun to come over to tho Democratic party aud they would take care of him. To this proposition ho replied by telling the gentleman who made it the following STORY. Monsier Foix, a Frenchman who went to Jamaica to embark in business, had been sadly abused there. He had been robbed, whipped, put iu prison, his properly con- - nsticated, and every species of indignity and outrage ottered 111m. U11 bis return to JNew Orleans, bo told the story most puituiiy to uoi. rite, ot Arkansas. "Why, Jttonseur Uoix," said the Col., 'according to your story Juuiaca must bo as bad a place as Iho infernal regions !" i "Ma loi it is worse. "Now, Monseur, do you really moan thatr' "C'est vari" it is true. "Well now, Monseur Foix," said Col. Pike, "suppose you were on your death- bed and the Lord should appear to you and say you might go back to Ja- - inaca or go the infernal regions, what would vou sav !" "I vould say, Monseur good Lord, if it beez all ze zaiue to you, if it makes no difference at all I should very much choose to please, to prolor much razor to go to b 11." ue ioiu nia democratic iricnaa turn it it is made no difference, he should prefer the Frenchman's choice to joining the Demo- cratic party. Mr. Campbell spoke for over two hours and his speech was received with great en- thusiasm. The Swindle Rejected--9,5- 12 Majority! The Board of Commissioners by the English Kansas Bill, have issued a proclamation declaring the proposition to accept the Lecompton Slave Constitution rejected by 9,512 majority. The whole vote was 13,088. The returns of a few precincts were thrown out on account of informalities, but no fraudulent returns were made. The election passed off quiet- ly, and the largeavote, as well as the trium- phant majority, indicate the fixed determi- nation felt by the free settlers throughout Kansas to bury the last swindle too deep for a resurection. The Buchanan African Democracy, North and South, must be willing by this time to write down the people of Kansas as the most stiff-necke- d under the sun. No people in the Republic has been so tried no people have been. so true. They have thwarted the efforts of the Pierce and Buchanan Administrations to establish sla- very in tho Territory at all points and on all occasions, aud with a persistency against Executive influence, patronage, power, in- trigue and treachery, such as the world's history very seldom records. Tbey have been seven times, tried in the Lecompton furnace, aud seven times have they come out pure gold, the seventh brighter than ever. In the first place the Free State men utterly refused to rote for delegates to form the Leconipton Constitution. Then they condemned it by electing a Free State Legislature. Next by refusing lo recognize the detested Constitution, or any election connected with it, when John Can-dleb- Calhoun ordered the "cheating sub- mission" to be made. Then under the reg- ular election on it ordered by the Free State Legislature on the 4th of January, when it was voted down five to one. Next they condemned it in rather a round about way but pretty conclusively, by electiog delegates to enact the Leavenworth Con- stitution; and again in ratifying the Leav- enworth Constitution. They have just had the seventh aud the fail est blow of all at the detested thing, and they have "laid it out cold as a wedge !" We should think, in all conscience, that the African Democracy would make no fur- ther effort lo believe their boasted doctrine of popular sovereignty by forcing the "col- ored individual " into Kansas against the oft expressed wishes of the sovereigr s of the Territoiy, and would be willing to let the free white men of Kansas come into the Union at once under their own Consti- tution, made in their own way.- - But such is not the Democratic progaamrae; and the party, North and South, will not labor quite as industriously to keep Free Kansas out as tbey bave heretofore to force blavo Kansas in. Cleveland Leader. Kansas as a State. The Washington Union cyphers out and .stales, the Kansas Free State Constitution cannot get betore Congress the comiug winter, the session ending March 4th. The Union adds: "The votes cast at the recent election in dicate that there is now a population in tho territory very nearly approaching seven- ty-five thousand, which the coming sea son will run up far above the representative ratio of ninety-thre- e thousand, thus remo ving all objections to the admission of Kan sas by the next Congress." So ho! the South now having been du- ped into the silly "English Bill," sees the result! free btate, winter alter next! The Richmond Whig, an ultra, but yet a lair Southern journal, says, in reply lo the Kicbmond JLxanuner (Adin. The Examiner wants to know whether our "opposition friends iu the H ree states will consent to adhere to the "solemn con dition of the English Bill." We answer that as the Opposition iu the Free Slates were opposed to the Bill at first, they are under no manner cf obligation lo abide by it in any particular; and we therefore, take it for granted that they will desire and struggle for the repeal of that "condition." Nor can any one blame them if they do; tor that "condition involved an odious and unjust discrimination between the Slave and Ike Free States, which no free man it the J ree Males ought ever to sub mit to. We ourselves, upon that ground, are in favor of the repeal of that "condition," and in favor of the admission of Kansas upon the same terms, as regards popula- tion, under her new Constitution as under the Lecompton Constitution. We went for the admission under the Lecompton Constitution with a population of only thir- ty or forty thousand, and we are not going now to turn around and stultify and dishon- or ourselves by opposing her admission un- der her new Constitution, with a popula-rio- n greater than she had last December, as and upon the alleged ground that her pop- ulation is too small to justify her admis sion I We leave all such disgraceful nnih- - bliug, all such unjust and dishonest prac- tices, to the Bogus Democracy. But we oppose the English Bill, and we are, there- fore, at liberty to pursuo such course in re gard to it as we may think proper. Not so, however, with tho Democracy. The English Bill was their measure their crack measurtj their test measure ami thev must adhere to it, through thick and thin : and especially must they cling lo that "por tion of it which rendered it tolerable lo the South," or they must stand convicted as swindlers of the sharpest stripe, aud have of visited upon tbem the stern indignation of the bouihern people, whom they will have deceived and defrauded as men were never deceived aud defrauded before."

This gentleman has been selected as the standard-bear- er of tha Republican party in this Congressional District. It is no more than right, that we should let tho people know something about the man they are cal- led upon to sunort. Mr. H. is a selfmr.de man. Fifteen years ago, with the labor of nis own uands, he was suporting his family on a small farm in Union township, in this county. He afterwards, with limited means and without friends, located in New Phil- adelphia, and commenced thestudy of Law. After his admission to the Bar, he form- ed a Partnership with Mr. Cummins, and became one of the pillars of the Democratic parly. As evidenc of his position in that party, he was nominated as candidate for the Constitutional Convention, and in 1851 when the Democrtic party carried the coun ty, was elected Prosecuting Attorney, in 1854 when the Democratic party repealed the Missouri Compromise when they vio lated a solemn compact and opened our fer- tile territories to the curse of slavery, Mr. Helmick was one of the first to bolt, and as sist in the formation of the Republican par- ty. No sefish motive can be ascribed to him are these change, because at that time the Democratic party was m tho ascendancy in this township, County, District, and State. Mr. H., is also an enterprising citizen. Within the last few years he has construct- ed a number of good buildiugs, and has made sacrifices for the prosperity of our town. He bas been of great benefit to our Mechanics and Laborers, and we have often heard it remarked, that no man in search of work ever came to him, without he got employment. The people of this town are under obligations to him. Will they dis- charge the debt f The strugglo between him and General. Burns,will be a desperate one. All the Post- masters, and all the Loco, aspirants, will fight with a spirit of desperation to secure bis f roin nrst to last, Burns, supported the Lecompton swindle, and his defeat will be a signal rebuke to the Administration. Tuscarwas Advocate Drowning of Mr. O'Hagan. Madison Miller has received a letter from Philadelphia, giving the particulars of the death by drowuing of Mr. E. C. 0,Hagan. The letter says : On Saturday evening, the 28th, E. C. O'Hagan in company with two friends, set sail with a sail boat for a pleasure excursion from South street wharf, Philadelphia. They came in contact with a large eonl ves- sel and became frightened and jumped over- board. E. C. O'Hagan was drowned, the other two were rescued by the crew of the vessel. Mrs. O'Hagan late Miss Merchant is in this city, deeply afflicted. Our readers will remember the marriage of the deceased to Miss Merchant while the latter was a pupil at the Canaudiaue Fe- male Seminary. Cleveland Herald. Old Buck's Table for the of Federal Money. The monstrous expenditures pf the De- mocratic party under tho reign of Mr. can be properly secu aud fully ap- preciated by au examination of the follow- ing table. It spends $00,000,000 a tear! $7,500,000 a' month!! $1,875,000 a week!!! $267,859 a day ! ! ! ! , $11,160 an holki:::! $186 a minuts!!!!!! $3,10 a second !!!!!!! Is uot this view of the case startling? The people's money is shelled out by the Slave Democratic Administration, at the rate of three dollars and ten cents or eve- ry tick of lhe clock. No wonder the na- tion is getting over head aud ears in debt. Urbana Citizen. EST If the mortality among Democrats has been as great throughout the couutry as in Kansas, abcording to the returns of the late election, as compared with those of October aiid January last, why, Demo- - ciacy has pretty much died out. At the precincts of Oxford and Shawnee, at the late election, the result was as follows: OXFORD For the English Bill 16 Against " 13 Thtal 29 SHAWNEE For the Ehglish Bill 14 Against " " 80 Now, Mr. Calhoun who was considered good authority by the leading Democrats last winter, was ready to swear did swear we believe that about eighteen hundred Democratic votes were cast at Oxford, and eight hundred at Shawnee, on several occa- sions within a year! What is the disease among the Democracy out there ? Brutality of Slavery. On the 15th mst. a young colored man aged about 20, was arrested near Shawneetown, Illinois, a fugitive slave, lie stated that he was free, and that he was born in Vigo county, Indiana, iiis statements about men and things in Vigo showed that he was well acquainted there, and so well convinced were the people of Shawneetown of their truth that they advised Ins captors to loose his shackles and let him go. But without process or legal examination the kidnappers forced the young man across the Ohio into Kentucky. The next day the parties re turned and reported that the man bad es caped from them, took to the river, and they lost sight of him. The unfortunate negro was found dead on lhe beach the next day opposite Shawnetown and being out the jurisdiction of Illinois, no means were token to ascertain the mode of his death. He was only a negro ! XiTThe Lecompton Democrats of Mus- kingum county, met at Zanesville, and nominated Jounthan fawank as tho admin islration candidate for Congress. Col Manypenny is the regular nominated can didate, but he has been touched with Anti- - Lecomplon; tho touch of which kills a uian for Administration fellowship. So oes; in the District where an out and original Lecompton man is nomiuated, shirt-tai- l Burns, in tho Capital Dis- trict of where a once n man, Cox has, hog-lik- e, relumed to his wal- lowing God in the mire, and stuck his snout, eyes deep, in the filth of English-billis- to is all well, but in a District where a man ins nominated whoso skirts are uot clear from tho heresy, the Bu chanan men repudiate the nomination and that up one of their owu. Aud the Ohio Douglas meu stand 11 vie vet ana Herald. the ST Tho Chicago Times says that the vote of lhe Buchanan Democrats in that ly State cannot reach six thousand.

' Douglas himself has lately expressed similar views, and hia friends in this State, who are now without au organ, will be glad to see what opinion is entertained of the measure by Douglas men elsewhere. The Press say : The English Bill which was substituted for Lecompton "pure and simple," is au expedient which only aggravates the injus- tice originally contemplated. ' It provide that, because the people of Kansas would not submit to the outrage of having a Con- stitution imposed upon them against their will, they must be punished for their con' lumacy by being kept out of the Union. " Because they would not tamely acquiesce in the infliction of one wrong, another is to be melted out of them. The highway rob- bers of Mexico made it a role lhat if a trav- eler peacebly submits to the plunder of his. pockets, he is in other respects treated as a gentleman, but if he resists the robbery-h- e is murdered. The English Bill Kansas-polic- is based upon a principle equally just and humane. It is worse than idle it is wicked, foolish, and unjust to persist in a course founded on such an idea. Wherr the people cf Kansas peacebly and honest- ly form another Constitution, bave it rati- fied at the polls, and ask admission into the Uuion under it, woe to the roan who by a blind adherence to the English finali- ty, may endeavor, for attempting to drag Kansas into the Union as a slave State, with a Constitution obnoxious to her peo- ple, to add to the measure of their injustice by voting against her admission as a free State, under a Constitution ratified and approved by her people! The will be doub- ly coudemned by their outraged constituen- cies, and fall from the high stations they have disgraced, "like Lucifer, never to rise again." . Of course, every regular Democratic can- didate for Congress in this Stale, occupies precisely the odious position thus denounc ed. It is doubtless the position of Mr. Burns. Kansas is to be punished for - re- fusing to come into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution, by being kept out as a free Stale. As the Press says 'because they would not tamely acquiesce in the infliction of one wrong, another is t be meted out of them." So says the Ad- ministration so say the resolutions of the Ohio Slate Convention what says Mr. Burns 1 ' The Coming Election. Within about two months important elections will take place in Vermont, Maine Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iudiana, Illinois, Wis- consin, Iowa, New Jersey, Michigan, Mas- sachusetts, and New York. The results of these elections will probably le decisive of the political character of the House of Rep- resentatives, and will strongly indicate the Presidential result in 1860.

ST'The Washington correspondent of

the N,' Y. Timet, says that a deputation ofHard Shells from Ohio arc now in that city

to induce the President to turn out of office more of the Douglas men. One by

one the heads of the Douglas men drop

into the basket and there is no one asks

why 'tis so, or wheu the avenger will be

satisfied.

tST Secretary Cobb is in trouble. Hedoes not know anything about the manage-

ment of the Treasury. He expected therevenue from customs about this time tobe enormous. But it is still slender, - andbe feels that an end must come, and that

speedily, to this borrowing business. The

trouble is to decide what shall be the fi-

nancial policy of the Democratic party.

It won't win. Dimmock may lnake-- a

great display of "Horse Type," overBurns' nomination, and talk about tha en-

thusiasm with which it was received, &c,but it's ail for nix. Nobody believes it.You can't get up any enthusiasm on

Burns. Ho has - been tried in the scales,

and found wanting. He has proven him-

self a bad egg, as the boys say. The pa-

pers that support him 'may talk and hur-

rah over his nomination, bat the heart . ofthe people ain't with them. ; Burns haslost caste among them by his base be-

trayal of the North, and though they maynot like to vole for a Republican they won'tvote for Bceso.

Burns Defies the Will of hisConstituents.

When the Bill for the admission of Kan-

sas under the Leconipton Constitution was

first introduced into Congres, there was

scarcely, a Northern man to be found thatfavored its passage. It was looked uponin the North as a base attempt to-- fasten

upon a people institutions aud laws thatwere odious to them, aud in the framing ofwhich they were allowed no agency. Gen.

Burks was then in Congress from thisDistrict, aud from all parts of it letterswere sent him asking him to exert himself,

to defeat the BilL As to his own vote

being cast against it, no man entertained

a doubt. In his Address to his Constitu

ents before his election, lie declared him-

self in favor of Kansas being left free to say

whether she would have Slavery or not, aud

on the eve of starting to Washington, he

was heard to declare with emphasis, thatthough every other member voted for theLeconipton fraud, he would not. He de-

dared he would suffer death before hewould vote to inflict upon Kansas so greata wrong. Now what was the result ? Alittle later in the session, but before a vote

had been taken in the House npon theBill, word was given out that Burns washimself a little shakey upon Lecompton.

His friends denied it. One man declared

to us that he had then in his pocket a let-

ter from the Gen., declaring his determina-tion to vote agaiust it. In this letter heblated that he was urged by the South andby the Administration men to vote for it,but that he would not do to! Dozens of

letters from prominent Democrats in thistown and county were addressed him, eve

ry one of which, urged him by all means

to vote against the Bill and to help defeat

it at all hazzards! Did he vote against tt?Tell us ye Democrats who were so loud in

denunciation of this Lecompton iniquitywho were so positive that Gen. Burns

would Vote as you talked and felt llien.

How did lie vote? Was It in accordance

with your much boasted doctrine of Pop-

ular Sovereignty of letting people have

the privilege of framing their own Consti-

tution, &c, or was it in accordance to the

bidding of the South I He repudiated the

will of his constituency, made a sacrifice

of the honest promptings of his own heart,

and voted to fasten upon the people ofKausas a Constitution that they have justrejected by a vote of nine to one! Is thisthe kind of aReptesentative the free voters

of this District wish to have represent

them ! We do not believe it, we cannotbelieve it,

J3T William IIklmice, Esq., the Re-

publican candidate for Congress in this Dis-

trict, paid our town a visit on ' Wednesday

last He was called upon by a number of

citizens of both political parties, and it our

opponents did not go away resolved to vote

for him, they could not but confess' that in

Mr. Helmick, the Republicans bad a can-

didate every way worthy of their votes.

In tho evening he was serenaded by theMilllersburg Brass Band, and the ingathering at the American was quite large. Mr.

Hslmick, being called upon, made a neatand appropriate Adddress, returning thanksfor the kind manner in which he had been

received, and assuring the voters there assembled, that if elected, be would not be

found saying one thing before the election

and voting contrary to those pledges afterwards.

'. J& The Mt. Vernon Republican suggests that the Republicans of this District,

employ the "Eloquent Stambatjgh" totake the stump in favor of Burks. Itthinks this is all that would be necessary

to elect Hslmick the Republican candi

date. We object to the arrangement. We

want Burns beaten, but want him fairly

beaten, not chawed up by a friend. Ifthere was any man living that we hatedright bad, we could wish him no worse

punishment than to be praised by the "Eloqueut Stambaugh." If that didn't pizen

him nothing else would.

More Nice than Wise. Almost every

nighborhood has some men iu it who are

so awfully pious that they cau't read apolitical newspaper, and so fixed iu the bolief that they are right and everybody else

is wrong, that they would as soon set theirfoot into the fire as into the church dooi

of any denomination but their own, yetthese men will talk to you for hours aboutthe bigotry, ignorance and intolerance ofthe Catholic church. We much fear thatwhen they die, the load of hypocrisy whichthey will carry to Heavens gale, will be solarge as to preclude thoir gaining an

there. '

g When the English Bill was intro-

duced into the House, Cox tho Locofoco

Representative from the Columbus District,wrote a letter to the Ohio Statesman iuwhich he pronounced it "a damned bightmeaner than the Senate Bill !" But Coxlike BCkns had to cave in before tho de-

mands of the South. Burns used worselanguage then this against Lecompton, andvoted for it!

2THon. Geo. E. Pugh, is posted toaddress the Democracy of Holmes countyon the 30th, day of September. How fit-

ting a selection to send into this Congres-sional District, Pugh made a speech forLecompton aDd voted against it. Burnspledged himself against it and voted for it.Pugh and Burns, glorious pinks of con-

sistency, talking one way and voting theother.

JtTheman with the "spike-tailed- "

coat, built, it is supposed, about the timeNoah and his family landed at Ml Ararat,was in town the other day looking for acopy of Burns' speech accepting the nomination for Congress. He said he "dinksBurns will carry German township.'

'

A Poor Apology,- - Gen.' Burns givesas a reason for voting for Lecompton andall tha other iniquitous measures of theAdministration, that if he hadn't done so.

be would have been in bad repute with the

President, and consequently could have gotno appointments to office for any of his con-

stituents. He sold himself then, for of--

fi. e. not for himself, but for others. He

voted contrary to his own honest senti

ments and contrary to the Inown will of

his constituents, to oblige a few office seekers in his District. This he acknowledges

to. 'We have no doubt of the truth of it.We have no doubt but lien. Burns was

promised appointments for those he had

made application for, if he would help

carry Lecompton through. He sayshimself, and we hardly know which is themost to his shame, the selling of himselfand betrayel of his constituents or his acknowledging to the fact now. Well, thesacrifice was a great one, and should hav

been well rewarded. Principle is some-

thing that every man should hold dearand when he concents to sacrifice it for

gain, the price paid should be a largo one.

How many offices did Uen. burns suc-

ceed in fretting for his censtiluents. Jibtone! JVb, not one! He had applications

by the score, and good encouragement was

given him until tho English swindle was

consumaled, when he was cooly told thatthe posts he was seeking ifter for hi;

friend's were already filled.' Gen. Burnsthen sold himself as it turned out fornothing. Cheap enough.

Interesting. One half of the Clerksin the public offices at Washington cityhave been sent West to assist in re-el-

ting the Lecompton Members of Congress.This explains what the President meaut inhis letter to Bill English, promising toaid him in his if he could onlysecure the nomination. Tho pay of these

Clerks still runs on, whilst their expenses

are paid out of the National Treasury.Thai's the way the Peoples Money goes,pop goes the Weasel.

We have not heard of any of these im

ported electioneers being in this Congressional District as yet. Perhaps they read

Burns speech accepting the nomination,

and thought him qualified to hoe his own

roe. That speech! How it would sound

on the "whangdoodle," set to the tune o

"Poor Mary Biane."

Gen. Joseph Burns.

We see that the democracy of Knoxcount v instructed their delegates to support Gen. Burns for to Congress,and the probability is that he will be renominated and

We have no desire to meddle in the affairs of our neighbors of the loth district,but we must be permitted to say that therenominatiou of Gen. Burns would be hailedwith great satisfaction by the Democracyhereabouts. It is true be voted to admitKansas under the Lecompton Constitution,but in that he was honest, and acted witha large majority of the members of Con

T 11 I. ".gress. Liecompton is now uunea tei 11

rest.The above is taken from the Wayne

County Democrat of July 28. We call

attention, to the acknowledgment therein

contained, namely, that Gen. Burns DIDvolo to admit Kanssa under the Lecomp

ton Constitution. Burns, now denies it

and some of his friends deny it also.

Probably they had better deny that he

ever wa3 in Congress at all.

Go in Cripples. Tho unterified De

mocracy of Mt, Vernon took a new wayof adjourning their Democratic Club Meet'

ing, one evening last week. It broke vp ina fight! They have two rival Democraticpapers there, aud at the meeting referred

to, tne iLUitor ot tne one, uaston, wascalled on for a speech. Objections were

raised by Harper's friends, compliment

ry epithets were applied to each other, andthen camo blows. They fit and they fit,

biting off noses and gogueing out eyeses,

until the outsiders interfered and restor-

ed order.

gST Burns' speech on accepting tho

nomination was composed of just sixteen

words. As soon as the Sub-Mari- Tele-

graph under Killmck is. completed weshall send it, (tho speech, not the Tele-

graph,) to Zackstown, where it will doubtless be appropriately received, and afterbeing set to mus e will be sang throughthe principal streets aud alleys of thattown, accompanied by the whang-doodl- e

Swienett,

S3T It is said by the knowing ones, thatwhen the Democratic members of Congressfrom Ohio all concluded to go for the English Bill, tbey pledged themselves toeach other to throw all their influence forthe of all the present dele

gation. Ihey have succeeded in carryingout this purpose in the districts until themeeting of tho Sixth District (Clermont)Convention the other day, wheu Cocker--

ill, tho present member was overthrow u

aud Howard nomiuated.

Captured. We recently noticed theescape of the notorious Barnes, a patdoned

out penitentiary bird, and two or threeother criminals from the Coshocton countyjail. Tho Sheriff offered a reward of $300for their capture, and Burns and Gest weretaken last week in a cornfield in Lickingcounty. Barnes, when discovered, triedflight but was headed off and taken to jailagain.

Shame. Throughout ' tho State Gen.Burns is called the ushirt-tai- T candidate.The Gen. did not tear his own shirt, butrequested his constituents not to teartheirs. Thev didn't, lint nrfl uutt.innr

the second Tuesday of October for a chanceto tear his. They dislike boin' betrayedinto the hands of tho Slave oligarchy, andthen wuen tbey remonstrate, to Lo coolytold not lo "tear their shirts" about it.

Congressional District, composed of thecounties of Butler, Preble and Montgomery,was held on the 24th ult at wbicli theHon. Lewis D. Campbell was not onlynominated unanimously but eutnusiasticaily. John G. Lowe, of Dayton presided,and after the vote of each county had beendeclared for Campbell without a dissent,some delegate moved to make the nomin-

Gentlemen of the Convention: I havejust been informed by your committee that1 bave received by acclamation your nomin-ation to represent the people of the ThirdDistrict of Ohio in Congress. This Con-

vention represents those people who areknown as Republicans, and all others whooppose the present Administration 1 (turning to the chair) Am I right 1

Chair "Yes."Has any platform been laid down?

Chair "A one."You have then seen proper to designate

me as the standard bearer of the oppositionto a most perfidious Administration, in thecoming conflict. My record is well-know- n

to you all. I have heretofore during raywhole political career, both iu Congressand iu my district, opposed the extensionof slavery to territories now free. I amno novice in politics. It is now 30 yearssince I commenced my public career; thirtyyears this month since I left the humbleroof of my parents on the banks of the Mi-

ami, and entered into politics. Somemay doubt this statement, because itis said I have rather a youthful appear-ance.

Chair "Well no matter about thatnow, Mr. Campbell, there are no ladiespresent."

Mr. Campbell continued :

In 1828 I became carrier in the officeof the Cincinnati Gazelle, and was what isgenerally known as the printer's devil.That was 30 years ago this month, andfrom that day until the latter part of Maylast, he had .been mixed up in all the po-

litical contests of the time, aud had alwaysadvocated the great doctrines of humanliberty. But in May last his political ca-

reer had been suddenly and unscrupulouslyarrested by a course unparalleled in the his-

tory of the world, or iu that part of it atleast, where civilization and law prevail, orthe popular will is respected. The peopleof tho third district were told that theyhad no right to elect their representativethat right belonged to Congress. By thatact his polilcal career was not however ter-

minated ; it was only suspended for a while ;

ho was switched off the track laughterbecause he refused lo bend his knee to exe-

cutive power.To-da- y he had again received the ap-

pointment of their standard-beare-r. Hewas wearied and worn out by political lifeaud quite willing to have retired. . Therewere many others in the district, well wor-thy to represent it. Here he named along list of Congressional aspirants.

"This nomination is tendered me," continued Mr. Campbell, "without any solic-

itation on my part. If there is any mandirect or iudirect means, this high honor,then I am bound to decline it. Is thereanv such i"

Two voices crie'd "No ! No !" Then I'lllake it, come weal or wo come victory orcome death. Sink or swim, live or die,survive or perish, to use the language ofthe immortal John Adams, I'll embark inthis cause, and I'll carry it through.''Applause.

As you have passed no resolutions itmay be well for me to tell you what Imean to do if I am elected.

My record is written iu the memories ofthe men around me, who have heard mein this District for the last eighteen years,and for the last uine years, iu the history oftne turouient congress.

First, then, I'm opposed to the extension of slavery (applause), because whenour government was founded, it was universally recoguized as an evil by our fathers, ana was expected that the Statesshould tolerate it until they could freethemselves from the evil, and by no meansliould it ever be extended into territory

then free. I will oppose, as I have heretofore, the extension of slavery into territorynow free. 1 will oppose tho admission ofall new btates witb froslavery Constitutions. I will vote for the admission ofKansas, whether she has ten thousand ora hundred thousand inhabitants when sheapplies with a Constitution making her afree State. That is the material issue inthis canvass, and to that issue I am committed.

Mr. Campbell then reviewed the history of tho Missouri Compromise spoke atWngth on its repeal ot the Crittendenamendment the English compromise bill

the misgovernment of Kansas the JJredScott decision the revision of the tariff

the profligacy of the governme- nt-its sharp nuauceeriug, and its expenditurefor tne current year of one hundred mil-lions.

Ho staled that he had been assured byprominent Democrats in Congress, that heshould not be disturbed in his seat, if hewould keep quiet on the Lecompton business, uuu aiier iiis rejection a propositionbad been made to bun to come over to thoDemocratic party aud they would takecare of him. To this proposition ho repliedby telling the gentleman who made it thefollowing

STORY.

Monsier Foix, a Frenchman who wentto Jamaica to embark in business, had beensadly abused there. He had been robbed,whipped, put iu prison, his properly con- -nsticated, and every species of indignityand outrage ottered 111m.

"Why, Jttonseur Uoix," said the Col.,'according to your story Juuiaca must bo

"Ma loi it is worse."Now, Monseur, do you really moan

thatr'"C'est vari" it is true."Well now, Monseur Foix," said Col.

Pike, "suppose you were on your death-bed and the Lord should appearto you and say you might go back to Ja- -

ue ioiu nia democratic iricnaa turn it it is

made no difference, he should prefer theFrenchman's choice to joining the Demo-

cratic party.Mr. Campbell spoke for over two hours

and his speech was received with great en-

thusiasm.

The Swindle Rejected--9,5- 12

by the English Kansas Bill, have issued aproclamation declaring the proposition toaccept the Lecompton Slave Constitutionrejected by 9,512 majority. The wholevote was 13,088. The returns of a fewprecincts were thrown out on account ofinformalities, but no fraudulent returnswere made. The election passed off quiet-ly, and the largeavote, as well as the trium-

phant majority, indicate the fixed determi-nation felt by the free settlers throughoutKansas to bury the last swindle too deepfor a resurection.

The Buchanan African Democracy,North and South, must be willing by thistime to write down the people of Kansasas the most stiff-necke-d under the sun.No people in the Republic has been so tried

no people have been. so true. Theyhave thwarted the efforts of the Pierce andBuchanan Administrations to establish sla-

very in tho Territory at all points and onall occasions, aud with a persistency againstExecutive influence, patronage, power, in-

trigue and treachery, such as the world'shistory very seldom records. Tbey havebeen seven times, tried in the Lecomptonfurnace, aud seven times have they comeout pure gold, the seventh brighter thanever. In the first place the Free Statemen utterly refused to rote for delegatesto form the Leconipton Constitution. Thenthey condemned it by electing a FreeState Legislature. Next by refusing lorecognize the detested Constitution, or anyelection connected with it, when John Can-dleb-

Calhoun ordered the "cheating sub-

mission" to be made. Then under the reg-

ular election on it ordered by the FreeState Legislature on the 4th of January,when it was voted down five to one. Nextthey condemned it in rather a round aboutway but pretty conclusively, by electiogdelegates to enact the Leavenworth Con-

stitution; and again in ratifying the Leav-

enworth Constitution. They have justhad the seventh aud the fail est blow of allat the detested thing, and they have "laidit out cold as a wedge !"

We should think, in all conscience, thatthe African Democracy would make no fur-

ther effort lo believe their boasted doctrineof popular sovereignty by forcing the "col-

ored individual " into Kansas against theoft expressed wishes of the sovereigr s ofthe Territoiy, and would be willing to letthe free white men of Kansas come intothe Union at once under their own Consti-

tution, made in their own way.- - But suchis not the Democratic progaamrae; and theparty, North and South, will not laborquite as industriously to keep Free Kansasout as tbey bave heretofore to force blavoKansas in. Cleveland Leader.

Kansas as a State.The Washington Union cyphers out and

.stales, the Kansas Free State Constitutioncannot get betore Congress the comiugwinter, the session ending March 4th. TheUnion adds:

"The votes cast at the recent election indicate that there is now a population intho territory very nearly approaching seven-

ty-five thousand, which the coming season will run up far above the representativeratio of ninety-thre- e thousand, thus removing all objections to the admission of Kansas by the next Congress."

The Examiner wants to know whetherour "opposition friends iu the H ree stateswill consent to adhere to the "solemn condition of the English Bill." We answerthat as the Opposition iu the Free Slateswere opposed to the Bill at first, they areunder no manner cf obligation lo abide byit in any particular; and we therefore, takeit for granted that they will desire andstruggle for the repeal of that "condition."Nor can any one blame them if they do;tor that "condition involved an odiousand unjust discrimination between theSlave and Ike Free States, which no freeman it the J ree Males ought ever to submit to. We ourselves, upon that ground,are in favor of the repeal of that "condition,"and in favor of the admission of Kansasupon the same terms, as regards popula-tion, under her new Constitution as underthe Lecompton Constitution. We wentfor the admission under the LecomptonConstitution with a population of only thir-ty or forty thousand, and we are not goingnow to turn around and stultify and dishon-or ourselves by opposing her admission un-der her new Constitution, with a popula-rio- n

greater than she had last December, asand upon the alleged ground that her pop-ulation is too small to justify her admission I We leave all such disgraceful nnih- -bliug, all such unjust and dishonest prac-tices, to the Bogus Democracy. But weoppose the English Bill, and we are, there-fore, at liberty to pursuo such course in regard to it as we may think proper. Notso, however, with tho Democracy. TheEnglish Bill was their measure their crackmeasurtj their test measure ami thevmust adhere to it, through thick and thin :and especially must they cling lo that "portion of it which rendered it tolerable lo theSouth," or they must stand convicted asswindlers of the sharpest stripe, aud have ofvisited upon tbem the stern indignation ofthe bouihern people, whom they will havedeceived and defrauded as men were neverdeceived aud defrauded before."

William Helmick.This gentleman has been selected as the

standard-bear- er of tha Republican party inthis Congressional District. It is no morethan right, that we should let tho peopleknow something about the man they are cal-

led upon to sunort. Mr. H. is a selfmr.deman. Fifteen years ago, with the labor ofnis own uands, he was suporting his familyon a small farm in Union township, in thiscounty. He afterwards, with limited meansand without friends, located in New Phil-adelphia, and commenced thestudy of Law.

After his admission to the Bar, he form-ed a Partnership with Mr. Cummins, andbecame one of the pillars of the Democraticparly. As evidenc of his position in thatparty, he was nominated as candidate forthe Constitutional Convention, and in 1851when the Democrtic party carried the county, was elected Prosecuting Attorney, in1854 when the Democratic party repealedthe Missouri Compromise when they violated a solemn compact and opened our fer-

tile territories to the curse of slavery, Mr.Helmick was one of the first to bolt, and assist in the formation of the Republican par-ty.

No sefish motive can be ascribed to himare these change, because at that time theDemocratic party was m tho ascendancy inthis township, County, District, and State.

Mr. H., is also an enterprising citizen.Within the last few years he has construct-ed a number of good buildiugs, and hasmade sacrifices for the prosperity of ourtown. He bas been of great benefit to ourMechanics and Laborers, and we have oftenheard it remarked, that no man in searchof work ever came to him, without he gotemployment.

EST If the mortality among Democratshas been as great throughout the couutryas in Kansas, abcording to the returns ofthe late election, as compared with thoseof October aiid January last, why, Demo- -

ciacy has pretty much died out. At theprecincts of Oxford and Shawnee, at thelate election, the result was as follows:

OXFORD

For the Ehglish Bill 14Against " " 80Now, Mr. Calhoun who was considered

good authority by the leading Democratslast winter, was ready to swear did swearwe believe that about eighteen hundredDemocratic votes were cast at Oxford, andeight hundred at Shawnee, on several occa-sions within a year! What is the diseaseamong the Democracy out there ?

Brutality of Slavery. On the 15thmst. a young colored man aged about 20,was arrested near Shawneetown, Illinois,

a fugitive slave, lie stated that he wasfree, and that he was born in Vigo county,Indiana, iiis statements about men andthings in Vigo showed that he was wellacquainted there, and so well convincedwere the people of Shawneetown of theirtruth that they advised Ins captors to loosehis shackles and let him go. But withoutprocess or legal examination the kidnappersforced the young man across the Ohio intoKentucky. The next day the parties returned and reported that the man bad escaped from them, took to the river, andthey lost sight of him. The unfortunatenegro was found dead on lhe beach the nextday opposite Shawnetown and being out

the jurisdiction of Illinois, no meanswere token to ascertain the mode of hisdeath. He was only a negro !

The New DemocraticForney's Preti shows dp the iniquity of

the English Bill, which is the corner stoneof Democracy in Ohio. ' Douglas himselfhas lately expressed similar views, and hiafriends in this State, who are now withoutau organ, will be glad to see what opinionis entertained of the measure by Douglasmen elsewhere. The Press say :

The English Bill which was substitutedfor Lecompton "pure and simple," is auexpedient which only aggravates the injus-

tice originally contemplated. ' It providethat, because the people of Kansas wouldnot submit to the outrage of having a Con-

stitution imposed upon them against theirwill, they must be punished for their con'lumacy by being kept out of the Union. "

Because they would not tamely acquiescein the infliction of one wrong, another is tobe melted out of them. The highway rob-bers of Mexico made it a role lhat if a trav-eler peacebly submits to the plunder of his.pockets, he is in other respects treated asa gentleman, but if he resists the robbery-h- e

is murdered. The English Bill Kansas-polic-

is based upon a principle equally justand humane. It is worse than idle it iswicked, foolish, and unjust to persist in acourse founded on such an idea. Wherrthe people cf Kansas peacebly and honest-

ly form another Constitution, bave it rati-fied at the polls, and ask admission intothe Uuion under it, woe to the roan whoby a blind adherence to the English finali-

ty, may endeavor, for attempting to dragKansas into the Union as a slave State,with a Constitution obnoxious to her peo-ple, to add to the measure of their injusticeby voting against her admission as a freeState, under a Constitution ratified andapproved by her people! The will be doub-

ly coudemned by their outraged constituen-cies, and fall from the high stations theyhave disgraced, "like Lucifer, never to riseagain.". Of course, every regular Democratic can-didate for Congress in this Stale, occupiesprecisely the odious position thus denounced. It is doubtless the position of Mr.Burns. Kansas is to be punished for - re-

fusing to come into the Union under theLecompton Constitution, by being keptout as a free Stale. As the Press says'because they would not tamely acquiescein the infliction of one wrong, another is tbe meted out of them." So says the Ad-ministration so say the resolutions of theOhio Slate Convention what says Mr.Burns 1 '
