The SeIf-Defensive Association of Wes.
ton. Missouri.

A gentleman just from weston related to-
us the following incident. He states that
while he was in Weston, he went to the
store Of well known merchant of that
place, who was engaged at the moment in
selling to one of his customers, who was a
Kansas settler, and said to be freesoiler.-
While thus engaged, a person entered the
store, and walked up to the customer of our
friend, the merchant, and said to him, "God
d--n your soul, didn't tell you never to
show your face in Weston again clear
yourself, and never show yourself here again,
unless you want a coat OF tar and feathers.
The person who pronounced this ferocious
harangue was one of the "Self Defensive
Association of Weston and he had barely
finished before the merchant jumped over the
counter, yard stick in hand, and commenced
measuring him with it as if he had been a
bolt of domestic, and with as much IA
cilitv. The measured Individual forgot that
he belonged to the self-defensive associa
ton, and took to his heels.
The Weston merchant, however, in ad
ministering the castigation which he did to
the impudent scamp" who was endeavor-
ing to frighten off good customer, was
acting in self f-defence--in defence of the in
lercourse and commerce by which he lived,
and which it was his interest to encourage.
He acted, too, in defence Of the interests of
Weston, for it is quite probable that the
Yankee Freesoiler" by his thrift, industry
and enterprise, will add much more to the
wealth of the country than the lazy fanatic
who spends his time in trying to save it by
keeping away the most energetic class Of
people in the Union. The merchants and
other business men of Weston who recently
assembled in mass meeting and denounced
the falsely called "Self-Defensive Associa-
tion' and its conduct, understood this,
and did but unite in self lf-defensive measure
on their part. The slave bully was too igno-
rant and too much blinded by his fanaticism
TO comprehend the true interests of his own
COMMUNITY. 1t is to be hoped that the
wholesome thrashing he received enlightened
him OH this point-lSt. Louis Dem.

of cheerfulness, of which we spoke on
Thursday morning, was again changed to
that of sadness, upon the announcement III
the evening that there had been some seventy
deaths of cholera during the day.
On Thursday SS deaths occurred, and on
Friday the 22d, there were S0
The Journal of Saturday says: Our COM
Portable antcipations, based upon the ap-
pearance of things on Wednesday night,
were not realized. After midnight many
new cases manifested themselves, and all
through Thursday they rapidly multiplied.
The suspension of business was universal,
and the indications of increased mortality
found crowds of impressible witnesses in
the idle multitude. New alarms were deep
ened into panic by a constant and inde-
ftnsible toling of the bells OF fire engines.
These gave new wings to terror, and of
course swelled the mortality, which, with
out this wanton aid, was frightful already.
Thursday night filled a record of deaths
greater far than that for any preceding day
since the cholera has made its appearance
Since the above was in type, we learn the
cholera has subsidized at Pittsburg.
