The members Of wealthy firm in Cincinnati
are thorough, ultrn-sbolitionists, OF the disun-
ion school This fact Is well-known to their
Southern customers, and yet these very custo-
mers, some Of them from the extreme South,
though bitterly cursing and denouncing them
at home, continue TO buy of them and in fsct
buy more and more largely Ofthem every year.
We understand, indeed, that as the ultraism Of
these Cincinnati merchants has increased, 90
has increased their Southern trade. Men will
buy where IL Is for their interest to buy; and
the attempt to curry favor with pro-siavsry
men by a sacrifice Of Emancipation sentiments
and thereby to promote the pecunsry intsres

BRurAL OUrRAGE.--The Jacksonville, (Fiori-
da,) News of the 18th has the following:
Our readers will learn with regret the iEtell-
gence of the brutal attack upon Mr. Madison
Of Marion county. We understand the cause
to have been this. Mr.. Madison and DR.. b. M
Byrne were riding together past the plantation
of Burleson, and witnessed some inhuman treat
ment Of the field hands by himself and his over,
seer, Meadows. The brutes had actually caused
a roman to be torn in pisess BY their dogs. Bur
Lesson and Meadows were afterward indicted ioi
this cruelty by the Grand Jury Of their county
and seem to have resolved upon revenge. They
accordingly way-lai Mr.. Madison near Orang'
Springs, as he was riding home, attended by
servant, felled him 10 the ground with club
and stabbed him in several places, and left hin
for dead. The servant escaped and procure'
assistance. Mr.. Madison afierward revive'
sufficiently to make a deposition before mags
trate, but relapsed into insenslblity, and 10 no
expected to live. His skull was fractured 4
8 three places, from one of which the brain pro
' truded. BY Yesterdays mail We learn that Bui
. Lesson has been seen in a hammock IN tina
: neighborhood, which b as since been CAREFUL

The w~..ern Q.ar,erIy Review.

The second number of this work has been
published, and we are glad to learn that Its
prospects of success are very fine. We be-
lieve that It already has larger number OF sub
scribers than the North American Review.
Though it is not yet, in all respects, such as
we hope to see il become. yet 1t is as good as IL
could be expected under the circumstances. IL
has had to contend with many dine uities, which
experience will remove. The publisher is de-
termined TO secure the labors Of the best writers
in the country by paying literally for contribu-
lions. With this arrangement, success il GER
tain. There Is talent enough in the West to
produce quarterly Of the highest order. All
the friends of Western literature should be gen.
erous In aiding this enterprise; for 1t will exert
very important influence in bringing out tai.
ent which is now latent. To many it will give
stimulus without which their abilities woulC
be unproductive. To many ayoung man j
will give a concentration in study which viii
exert the happiest influence upon his character
If the Review is generously supported. the pub
lie will be surprised to find talented writer
rising up in all directions.

We received few days since from some la.
dies in Indiana letter containing all Address
to their Sisters Of Kentucky. The address is
principally criticism upoA the plan of Eman-
ciPatiOn proposed by Mr.. Clay. We would beg
leave to state to the fair authors of the address,
for whose intelligence and spirit Of humanity
we have profound respect, that they appear to
misapprehend the state Of things in Kentucky.
The people Of this State are not discussing
plans Of Emancipation, but the great prelin,i-
nary questiOn--shsll slavery cease or shall It be
PerpetuatedH This Is the great. the al-impor.
tant question. Let this be rightly answered,
let the citizens OF this Commonwealth solemn
ly and earnestly declare that slavery must cease,
and then the question Of means and modes will
become the interesting and vital question Then
every plan Of Emancipation will be subjected
TO the most searching scrutiny, and no plan,
We trust and believe, will be adopted which
does not rest upon justice and right, and which
does not aim 10 promote the welfare Of both
white and black.

"The same principle which this day induces

Let the press be free. We confess il to be a very
