The following telegraphic account of an abolition
outrage in sWorcestcr, Mass. will furnish idea of
the vile dsunion spirit by which many of the people
of the free States arc actuated:
Abolition Riot at Worcester, Mass.
WoRcHEs1ER Oct 3O.-Asa O.. Batman. the per-
who arrested the fugitive slaves, Thomas Sink
and Anthony Burns, was discovered at the Ameri-
can House yesterday, and the fact was Immediately
posted throughout the city. In the evening the vi
GLANCE committee of the citizens surrounded the
hotel, and threatened to mob it. whereupon war
rants were issued and he arrested this morning
and brought before the court charged with carrying
+ concealed weapons The case was then postponed
for two weeks and he was required to give bonds
for his appearance.
A large and excited crowd soon gathered round
the courthouse, and it becoming evident that his
life was in danger, George F. Hoar "a freesoiler)
the son of the venerable Samuel Hoar,. appealed to
the crowd to etthe kidnapper' as they called him,
60 safely out of the city Upon this the crowd gave
way, and Batman, accompanied by strong guard,
went to the depot, followed by the populace. Here
the colored men in the mob fell upon him. and would
undoubtedly have taken his life but for the interfer
cnce of Martin Stowell, Sames A. Howland, Mr..
Hoar, Rev. T. W. Higginson and Stephen G. Foster,
all active abolitionists.
In the midst of the excitement Batman was hus-
tied into carriage, accompanied by Mr.. Hggnson,
and thus escaped with his life.
Higginson was considerably cut by the missiles
thrown at the carriage. Batman pelted with
rotten eggs stones, &C., and kicked and beaten
almost to death. He promised never to visit Wor-
cester again.
We submit the foregoing to our readers without
extended comment. 1t is obvious that the people Of
Worcester for instance and the people of the slave
holding States are deadly enemies; and what is
true of Worcester is, we fear true of very many To-
calities in the New England States. The day is
not distant, if these things permitted, when no
STAKEHOLDER will be safe in his life or limbs, if found
in Massachusetts.

THE WEATHER,

The drought continues in this region. We do not
recolect any like it for duration. Still we hear no
complaint of failure of water-the wells, We believe,
continue their supply.
This condition of the weather operates materially
against the farmers in getting in their wheat. The
earth in many places is too hard to be poughed to
a proper depth !; and if the grain were sowed there
cause it to take root.
The mornings are cool, the middays balmy and
pleasant, and the evenings mild and gorgeous. The
forests fecked with yellow, and green and GRIM
son. and the leaves falling to the earth. Veget-
alton in its decay is not less beautiful to US than
when putting its first attire. Let be thankful
that after all the apprehensions that have been
tertained, Plenty will crown the year; and that
Want, at least, will be unknown among u.s.

THE FAIR AT RICHMOND.

The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday, says:
The Fair is progressing with success beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its friends. Never
before has there been such concourse of strangers
in city. Yesterday notwithstanding the grounds
were only partially open, the large space of many
acres were literally crowded with highly delighted
people. To-day, the grounds at O'clock, will be
fully thrown open to the public, when spectacle,
if the present auspcous weather continues, will be
presented, exceeding in interest and grandeur all
previous calculation. We should be pleased to ad-
vert to many of the prominent features of the Fair
but space is not allowed to-day to indulge our
inclinations. Hereafter we shall take occasion to
speak of this great Fair it deserves. At present
advise all of our readeas who have the opportu-
nty to visit the Fair and view its extent and beau
ty. There will in all probability be twenty thou
sand people on the Fair grounds to-day

Salutary principle were established by the pas
sage of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill. First that
for the future Congress not to interfere in ques
tons of establishing prohibiting slavery in the
Territories of the United States
Secondly; that the future existence or non-exis-
tence of Slavery in these Territories was to depend
upon the action of the people inhabiting the lands,
so far as they may have power to act upon the SUBJ
ject their Territorial Government and at all events
when they come into the Union as States.
But whatever difference of opinion there may have
been touching the policy of passing these acts,
think hazard little in saying that upon the main
tainance of the principles involved in them nou de-
pends the future existence of this glorious Union
1t is but too evident, however, that an effort is be-
ing made by deluded fanatics and designing politicians
| at the North, to build up purely sectional party
based upon principle but that of opposition to
slavery as existing among the people of the South
1t remains to be seen whether this effort will be
successful. 1t is to be hoped it will not be. But
