Mo Slavery in Kansas.

Our readers may think that we take a
deal Of unnecessary pains to assure them
that there will be no slavery in Kansas
or Nebraska. Unlike certain pretended
friends OF the negro, the fact is to US a
source of extreme pleasure. Earnestly
opposed 10 slavery extension. as we have
ever been, we receive with delight the as
surance that these Territories will be free,
and it does us good to republish every as
surance OF the sort. Besides. we have
said from the beginning that Kansas and
Nebraska will be free soil, and we desire
our readers to know that we never made
positive statements without abundant rea-
sons for doing so. A MIR. s. N, Wool, a
leading Free Soiler of Morrow county. in
this State. has removed to Kansas and
writes under date of August ed, to the Mt.

Wurder at Wheeling.

Between and 8 o'clock last night,
Adam knauer was so severely stabbed In
an affray with George Francis, that he died
in few moments. The fight occurred al
tine upper end of Clinton, near the Mis-
souri, Iron Works. The quarrel seems to
have arisen from a dispute between a wo-
man with whom Knauer boarded, (and TO
whose daughter it is said he was to have
been married next week, and the wife OF
Francis. who alleged to her husband that
Knauer had insulted her. Francis met
Knauer as he came up from the First
Ward, and in the scuffle which ensued
Knauer was stabbed three times; two ofthe
wounds penetrating below the diaphragm
to depth Of about five inches-both pro-
badly reaching the stomach. The third
was punctured wound in the under side
Of the !!eit arm. Aman named John Wood
in front If whose residence the stabbing
took place, endeavored to get Francis
awsv from knauer, and was finally COM
oelled to knock Francis down. His jaw
is said to have been broken in three places
by the blow. Knauer walked some fifty or
sixty feet TO the door of the house in which
he boarded, fell into the doorway and ex-
nirad IN a few moments. Francis was i'm
mediately arrested. and committed by Es-
quire Maclane. In the absence OF tae Cor
oner, Esq. Maclane conducted the inquest
The verdict of the jury was that the de-
ceased, Adam Knauer, came to his DEAN
from wounds inflicted with diEk-knife or
other sharp instrument in the hands OF
George Francis.
Francis had a further hearing before
Esquire McMechen, at | o'clock, to-day.
and was fully committed for trial on
charge OF murder.
Rachel Francis, wife Of the prisoner,
was also committed of being accessory be-
fore the fact.
Knauer was a native of Reading, Pa,
had been in this vicinity for about five
years, and is generally represented as very
mild and inoffensive man. His remains
were placed in an iron coffin, and we are
told will be kept subject to the order o! his
friends in Reading.-Argus, 5th.

The Drought and the Crops-No
Harvest no Taxes,

The farmers are experiencing trying
time with weevil, drought and grasshop
pers. Their crops all but their hay, are
short, too short, almost an entire failure.
They see the fruits Of their summers labor
in stunted fruit. wilhered oats and dried
up corn. In the midst Of this dusty des-
olation, the farmer folds his arms and tries
to study out the means to support his fam
lily and pay his tares. He has got his flour
and pork to buy. That is certain. But
the price he has got to pay and the means
to pay it are quite uncertain. He has got,
too, his tareS to pay. That is certain.
The only two reliable things in this world
are death and tares. Now what is the
farmer going to do! II he only belonged
to the "Priviledged ORDERS" and could
say with the Banks. "no profits, no tares. :"
this circumstance would work relief. But
instead of loafng upon other peoples
earnings end lobbying about Legislatures,
asking exclusive privileges in the shape of
bank Charters, he takes to the fields, tills
the soils, and earns his bread by the sweat
of his brow. He does not ask TO be exon
Grated from the just bur,hens Of Govern
ment when crops fail him. He does not
ask to be insured on profits, as the banks
do, in order TO be taxed. But wet or dry,
cold or hot. sink or swim, he is ready to
pay, without injunction, without protests,
and without any grumbling.
Famine among the farmers affects most
seriously the merchants. Pin-money is
short. Nothing but the absolute necessa-
ries Of life are bought. Old clothes must
be mended and worn thoroughly out. The
merchants silks, satins, and more costly
goods lay upon his shelves uncalled for,
while his notes lay in New York ma.
turing. If he meets his payments it mus,
be, if not at sacrifice, at least to "no
profit" His taxes are enormous, but
profits or "no profits," they must be paid
He cannot plead the Bankers privilege" "
who, after allowing themselves prlncely
salaries charging to "profit and loss" what
they please, declare mo dividend" and
under their charters and the doctrine o
l"Vested Rights" as held by the Supreme
Court. are exempt from taxes.
Between the farmers and merchants the
mechanic will find it dull times, precarious
employment, and small pay. His profits
will bear very unequal proportion to his
taxes. None but the chartered few
the Rag Barons, and moneyed monopo'
lists can be excused in such times as these
and what these privileged orders do moi
pay, the farmers, merchants and mechan'
les must. Thus saith the law, and thus
decides Federal Court.

The Drought.

The Daily Statesman and Democrat
says: The northern and southern portions
of the State appear TO have suffered rather
more from drought than the interior. The
last Elyria Argus says:
"Our exchanges from all parts Of the
country give sad accounts OF the drought.
and many are the prayers for rain. In.
this vicinity the drought is very severe.
There has not been rain enough in long.
time to lay the dust. Grass cannot grow.-
and corn and potatoes are much injured,
and the trees are ..in the yellow leaf"
The small brooks are as if they had never
been, and even Black River is nearly dried
up at this place, requiring two branches to,
make one small stream. &
The Medina Mirror says that streams,
that have been running for years are now
entirely dry" That paper says:
''The effect of the present dry season,
will be felt much more seriously six months.
hence than it is now, when the produce
Of last year is all consumed, and that Of
this year comes in demand WSsmay
consequently look out for hard times in,
are now"
In Ashland county, the Agricultural
Fair has been postponed to another year..
for the reason as Mr.. WOODRUFF, its Pres-.
ident, states. that the pastures are burned
up, the fruit is shriveled and dropping from
the trees. vegetables are withered and inn
matured, the wheat harvest failure, and
the corn crop. upon which. q few weeks
ago, many built hopes Of plenty, will be
gathered without ears. A sad picture Of
the present, and gloomy future.
The state of things in Monroe coun-
ty are almost as gloomy as in Ashland;
and we respectfully suggest 10 the Board
Of Managers of the Monroe County Agri-
cultural Society, that our Fair be also post
poned to another year. We propose that
the Board have q meeting at q very early
day and consider OF the matter, and if il
is not deemed advisable to postpone The
Fair to another year, that they then make
arrangements suitable for the occasion.
Nothing has yet been done towards pro-
curing grounds or buildings. Gentlemen
Of the Board, let US hear from you soon
on this subject.

was discord; and tend to limit, rather
than extend the area of slavery.
5 Democrats have ever advocated and
adopted bold and energetic foreign poli-
,cy, such as would afford speedy and am
pie protection to our citizens. our COM
merce and our rights abroad. Though
peace is desired, it is not bought by
Democratic administrations at the expense
Of the national rights and honor, or the
safety of our citizens, as the wars Of 1912
and l845 will attest. A few events, such
as the Kostza and Greytown affairs, and
the pending demands on Spain, will at
test that on :his policy the Democracy is
the same now as ever before.
Democrats have ever contended for a
moderate tariff,-a tariff for revenue a.
lone, with some discrimin alton for the
sake of protection. They contend for
the same thing still,-a tariff that will
only produce revenue enough for the or
dinary expenses of the government eco-
nomically administered. When it is now
found that the present tariff produces more
than is necessary for that purpose, re-
duction of duties, and an extension ol
the free list are proposed.
Time will not permit us further re.
view at present. But from what we have
written it will be seen that Democratic
principles are ever the same. They are
the same now as they were half century
ago. They are all broad and national'in
their scope; enduring as our institutions
all consistent with our federal constitution
strictly construed; all recognizing the equal
rights OF all sections of the Union and all
favoring constitutional freedom. progress
and national development. That they are
wise and benefcent, the rapid growth and
unexampled prosperity Of our country
under their almost uninterrupted opera
ton for half a century. abundantly at
test. Democrats, when Wings tell you
fthe principles oi our party change. be-
lieve them not. 1t is false. Our princi
pies change not. The ancient landmarks
are not removed. We need no new car.
dinal principles. Those that we have
will suit all times, and all lands where
freedom prevails.

Farms Burning Up.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Of We'd
nesday evening last says the pine swamp
west of Hudson has been burning for sew.
eral weeks, and within a few days the fire
has done an immense amount of damage.
Whole meadows to the amount of several
hundred acres have been burnt out four
feet deep, and will, of course, when the
swamp fills with water, become lake.
The fire would commence eating under,
till whole acres we're undermined. when a
vent would occur, through which the flames
would rush out for many feet in height.
and the whole ground, timber and all,
would be consumed. Large trees would
fall in mass, and be burned to ashes.
President Bierce, of the Hudson College.
was in the vicinity when he saw some
trees apparently on solid ground, but a
short distance from him, commence tumb-
ling, when he started to run. They con.
tinued to fall behind him, and 80 near was
he at one time to the danger, that the limbs
of a falling tree brushed him. The in.
habltants are in the utmost CONSERVATION,
not knowing where or when this terrible
state Of things will end. Like calamities
never before visited this country. and un.
less we soon have rain, the situation o.
many neighborhoods will be worse than i
they lived in the midst of earthquakes
God grant rain may soon come.
