DESTRUCTION OFTHE ABOLITION
NEWSPAPER OFFICEIN ALTON.

~ II w nj En- UT r I'm AL YIN.
We learn from Alton, that the materials
of the Observer office, in that town, were
completely destroyed, by party of the Cit
liens, on Monday night last, between ten
and twelve o'clock. For several weeks
past, the editor OF the Observer has been
repeatedly warned, first by public meeting
of the citizens, and afterwards by conIeren-
ces Of committee with him, and by many
oil the citizens. that the course he wus pur-
suing would bring upon him the Indignation
OF the people and the destruction of his
establishment. He would not, il seems,
stop or change his course, and accordingly
he ha been made TO suffer for his obst.
nance.
The party by whom the act was con-
sumaled, met Mr.. Loveioy, before the de-
molilion of the office. and were disposed TO
nflict upon his person some gross indiGni-
tv; but upon his appeal to them, in supli-
eating tones, 10 be spared, on account of
his family, they suffered him 10 pass I'M
harmed. On their approach TO the Office,
they found il guarded by numbers of the
Abolirionists. Their measures however
were! speedily taken, and availing them
selves Of the protection Of a wall in the
neiglboring building, they poured a vol
ley Of stones upon the persons in and a.
bout the Office. One man received a Sc
we're blow upon the head, and then the q r
iice'wa abandoned, -Tilly or sixty stand
OF arms were found in the ollice--sn attack
having been for some time anticipated
but none ofthem were used. They were
soon demolished. The press was Their
broken into pieces, and every description o
material scattered in the streets and else
where. While the work was going on
the hell of one ofthe churches was rang b.,
one Of the aholitionists, and three or fou
hundred citizens Of The town soon collected
upon the spot; but they evinced no dispo
sition 10 interfere in The affair.

Gov. M'Dufic, ofSoulh Carolina, in re-
ply IN an invitation TO Join in celebrating
the 9TH OF July, 177o, excuses himself ON
account Of positive engagements, but takes
occasion thus 10 express himself:
while | would fam rejoice in conicm-
plating the heroic virtues Ct our ilusrous
ancestors, who achieved our liberty, can
MOI but deplore, with deep humiliation, the
VIDE spread degeDerscy which is so rapidly
undermining it. The Federal Government
has been for eight years administered on
principles Of corruption, scarcely disguised,
il not openly avowed, and the effects have
exceeded any Thing recorded in The ANNALS
OF national degeneracy. My doubts of the
praciicability of reforming this state OF
things have grown stronger and stronger
! for The last two years, and | can scarcely
bring myself to take the Slightest interest
in any controversy Of a party character"
Well may the Governor feel "deep hu-
milisliou," for he, and thousands OF Others

The following, from the Mssourian, q

Missouri, will afford The render some notion
Of the sort Of currency which the Govern
ment proposes to create by its sub-treasury
system throughout the Union:
"a hard working and honest citizen of
Saline county, presented at the land office
on yesterday, draft signed by Kendall,
and upon the Treasury Of the u. States
1t had been paid to him as ''land Office mo-
ney," but the officers of the land Office
laughed al his rag money!" and he was
compelled to shave his "shin plaster" at

being a, par at the counter Of every mer-
chant in town. We advise our farmers TO
beware Of Kendall and his drafts.
