We are happy to perceive that our friends
across the Lake are again moving in this matter.
a convention from the counties of ST. Lawrence.
Franklin, Clinton and Essex, was held at Malone,
on Tuesday, for the purpose of "adopting meas
ures to secure provision by the Legislature at its
approaching session for the construction of the
road from Ogdensburgh to Lake Champlain.'
We are not, of course, in possession of the pro.
ceedlngs of this convention; but we shall look
to its deliberations with much interest, and hail
with JOY every favorable symptom in relation to
this important work. This is connecting link

ATRQCIlIrS


The Detroit Advertiser of the Goth ult gives an ac-
count of most atroclous outrage, which took place
at the town of Highland, Oakland county, Michigan
where a Mr.. Phneas l.. Davis had the whole of the
fine stock on his farm killed. DESTROYED or taken
away. He had succeeded in making his farm one of
the best stocked in the country by procuring the best
and most expensive breeds Of animals, II appears
that on Sunday morning. of last week, before day
light, twenty-five men, armed with knives and other
missiles came to the farm in wagons, and, without
any ceremony proceeded TO the barns and out houses
and killed about twenty hogs, drove off twenty or
thirty Others four fine horses, double WAGON and
harness. one bull, wenty-three sheep six hundred
bushels of oats three hundred bushels of corn, be-
sides several hnrrows, poughs and other farming u,en-
sis; and ripped open several fine breeding sows of
the Berkshire breed, destroying between sixty and
eighty pigs. Mr.. Davis, Immediately, on hearing of
his misfortune took active measures to arrest the per-
petrators and in short time succeeded in arrcstng
nineteen of them, and great hopes We're entertained
ofbrngng TO justice the remainder of the gang It's
said that this outrage could have occurred but for
the peculiar character of the sheriff of the county,
who is believed to be an arrant scamp. During the
investigation into the outrage, he made appraisers of
two ofihe robbers! and in another instance, took one
the thieves bail for the safe return of one of the
horses he had stolen. The sheriff has since ran away

Look out for frauds at the ballot box

DEMOCRATS WATCH THEM--THERE ARE
BRITIsH Wines, bella BADGERS AND
THADDEUs STEVENS ALL OVER THE coUN-
TRY.
Democrats beware, or you will be beaten, not in
fair fight but by secret fraud and corruption. Let
the outrageous frauds on the ballot box two years
ago in the third district, and Adams co. Pa. be a
warning to you. The wings are desperate, they
will resort to any means hswever desperate to car
ry the election; they will stick at nothing, it is their
death struggle, and they know it. Their leaders
talk openly of resoring to force, if they do not
succeed; do you believe such men will hesitate a
moment about violating the ballot box to gain their
ends There can be no doubt but what the wings
intend to commit gloss frauds at the coming cleo
tons. Look to it; see that every thing is done to
preserve pure the very palladium of our liberties
the ballot box. Let committees of the staunch, the
true hearted and unhnching democrats watch il
till the votes are countcd let them see that it is
empty when the polls open, let them see that no
votes are put into it after the polls close; let them
see that the votes are counted right. We say again
democrats, watch, be on your guard, or you will
be shamcruy chcated.-Truh Teller.

"We have the confession of Mr. Jefferson, when

Our country is grievously oppressed by prohibl-
tons of trade, wantonly imposed by the govern
ment of the United States, and its measure Of ini
guilty is now filled up by a declaration of war,
impolitic, unnecessary and unjust.
"We declare that our rulers flames Madison

duce them to private life.
"Those representatives who supported and yo-
