With reference to the recent bloody affair al
Carthage. the o. 8. Democrat Of July l, says: -
"From all the facts now before us, we regard
these homcides as nothing else than murder IN
cold blood--murder against the pllghted faith OF
the Chief Magistrate of llinos-murder OF
character SO arocious and SO unjuslfiabe. as to
leave the blacklist stain on all it's perpetrators
their aiders, abettors, and defenders"
The Republican pronounces the deed "unpro-
voked murder"
The Reporter says -" The conduct of the
mob at Carthage cannot be justified"
The Reveille says So" Joe Smith has been
'Lynched,' while under the protection of Cover
nor Ford and the La,os :"
The New Era says -" 1t was cruel and cow
ardly to murder the unarmed prisoners when
they had surrendered themselves, and were in
the custody Of the laws"
In fact, the press OF st. Louis denounce this
bloody deed without dissenting voice.

ANOTHER BRAGGER" BACKED OUT.
We are informedthat Palmer, of Prince George'r,
one of the Globes "braggers " has been backed
out on his proposed bet, and that he came up this
morning for the purpose Of withdrawing the adj
vertisement. We learn that he gave as reason
for proposing the bet, that his spirits were up
raised, probably, like those of the Landlady of
France and her lovers were, by pouring spirits
down. Our informant tells us that he was also
backed out on Virginia.
By-the-bye, the Globe editor, after " crawl
ing in his hole" on that bet mentioned yesterday,
was compelled, by gentleman who would not be
put 1T, to sign the papers to plank the cash on
certain day. 1t is too bad, this compelling man
to " crawl in" and then drag him out again-but

Mr.. ScHENcK, OF OHIo-The Wings in this
gentleman's district seem TO agree without dis

term TO a post that he has filled with so much
cretit to himself and to the State. They have
many good men in that district, but none better
than Mr.. Schenck. His talents and influence
should be secured to the State, and we rejoice to
see our friends of the Warren, Montgomery,

views SO early and SO satisfactorily upon the i'm

unnecessary, that peace and confidence will spec
Oily be restored, and that The community will

and safety. The most unpleasant matter Of yes
terday arose out of the exciting rumors which
were circulated from time to time, most of them
utterly unfounded. The chief topic of conversa-

cry arguments occasionally took place, and thus
individuals were sometimes betrayed into the use
of Incorporate expressions.

Globe says

Globe saysi
"The crime for which this party sought to ex.
clnde Michigan from tho Union, consisted in the
tact. Ito use Mr.. Clays own language,) that
SUE HAD PERMITTED ALIENS TO PAR
TAKE OF THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE I"
Now, good reader, does not this censure Of Mr..
Clay imply that the writer entertains the oppo-
site OF what he condemns! In other words, does
it not amount to declaration that aliens--un-
naturalized foreigners, who have never taken,
and perhaps never will take, the oath of alle-
giance-are entitled to the same privileges with
native born or naturalized citizens! 1t means
that or nothing. 1t means to treat the Consttu-
ton of the United States as dead letter-the
very charge which Mr.. Clay has brought against
the party.
No Wing wishes to deprive foreigners of their
constitutional rights, but every Wing and every
independent freeman in the country must despise
the Globe and its kindred spirits for attempting
to trample on the Constitution and laws of the
land, for the sake Of dipping few ignorant for
eigners into their ranks. We shall ever maintain
the rights Of naturalized foreigners TO vote, and
TO exercise every privilege of citizen which the
Constitution gives them, without reference to the
party to which they may attach themselves. We
are glad to see the crowded masses of Europe

poor, provided they are honest and Industrious
There is room for half of Europe in our West

gent inhabitants. Ii they bring with them any
unfriendly prejudces against our institutions,
which is rarely the case, they are soon forgotten
amid the prospering and cheering aspect of all
things around them, and meanwhile their chill
dren grow up American to the core. We never
could sympathise with those selfish and narrow
views which we have sometimes heard expressed
in relation TO foreigners. We never heard Mch
opinions advanced, however, as the opinions Of
any party, and we trust we never shall. While
we are always pleased to hear Of the arrival of
emigrants, and still more pleased to hear that
they have gone out to people the wilds of the far
West, thereby securing to themselves happy
homes, we abhor the effort that is making to
trample upon the Constitution for the sake Of OBJ
tanning the votes of foreigners before they are
entitled to the franchise.
We shall at another time notice the falsifca-
tons of the Globe in reference to the New Jersey
contested elections. Suffice it to say for the pre-
sent, that the Globe throws defiance at the Con-
stitution, and sets up a test of the validity of
elections unknown to that instrument.
