ANOTHER KIDNAPPING CASE.

The good people of Akron, Ohio, were aston
ished, yesterday morning, to discover not only
kidnappers in their midst, but in the very act
Of carrying off their prey. 1t seems that those
. amiablc Kentucky Strangers" of the Dealer,
who have been growing about the city for a
wick past, to " admreits beauties and recuper-
ate their health" failing to recover any prop
erty' here, under cover of the fllsehoods thrown
out by the Dealer, concluded to make descent
on the rural districts. One Of them went
down to Akron, ingratiated himself into the
confidence of a colorod citizen, aided by another
stool pigeon, under the pretext that he desired
to purchase the man S house. While this fraud
was progressing, the other two-legged hound
was besetting the commissioners for warrant,
which he failed to obtain, much to the chagrin
of certain officers.
At last some sort of paper was trumped up,
purported to have come from Judge Leayitt. A
lie was Matched, and the posse, ol6cered by De-
putty Dennis, whom. Fitch had imported, started
for Akron on Wednesday evening. They lay in
wait all night, aud in the morning, fifteen min
ntcs before the train was ready to start, they
deeoyed the colored man from his dwelling,
bounced uponh him, and hurried him three quar-
ters of a mile to the depot They charged him
Nth passing counterfeit money. lie begged for
counsel, or to be brought before magistrate,
but the wretches laughed him to scorn. The
victim managed to make known his desperate
situation to friend, who Immediately ran for
counsel. The train, accidentally, of course, was
delayed beyond its time In fifteen minutes
Attorney Wilson was on the ground, and de-
manded to see the warrant under which WORTH
ington was arrested 1t was found to be sham.
The alarm flew over the town like wildfre,
and in few minutes thousand men poured
around the depot. The people demanded his in
slant release "If he is guilty, said they, +" of
breaking any law, let him be tried and convic-

THE NEW TEST OF THE PIERCE OR
SHAM DEMOCRACY.

If there was any doubt before, there is no
longer any, that the support of the Nebraska
Bill, or the unmolested introduction of Slavery
into all the territories of the Union, is hereafter
TO be made test of the Pierce Democracy, by
the Administration and those who are now in
the ascendant in the control Of that once pure
and powerful but now betrayed and ruined
party.
The Washington Union, the mouth-piece o.
the apostate Administration and the Slavery
propagandists controlling it,has at length broke
ground, and openly and unblushingly proclaimed
to the cid Democracy of the country, that the
support of that measure whose great and only
distinguishing feature goes directly for the I'M
limited extension of Slavery, is hereafter to BIT
ga test of Democratic orthodoxy" Here ii
what it says in one of its last issues, just come
to hand !;
sit is these circumstances that have contrib
uted to make the Nebraska Bill test Of Demo-
cratic orthodoxy The majority have spoken,
and in this country the majority must be obeyed
tits not necessary that an Administration should
say, what is, or what is not, test of faith but
the ,cW of The majority Of the Democratic party
IS no less potential in making nomination q
test, than an making principle a test, and IN
constituting that principe an article Of the Dem
ocratic creed"
There, honest Democrats of the North, you
see what is before you, if you longer renal min
the ranks of that party which has been soldDdt
by its false leaders at Washington, and made to
change places with the old Federal party, with
all its worst features and the principle of Slavery
propagandism superadded. Can you 60 that I!
IF not, where will you go You once professed
to DO party of principle, and those principles
were laid down in the pure and noble creed of
your illustrsous Jefferson. There is but one
party, these days, who profess and practically
adopt that oreed-that party is the Free De-
mocrucy, whose platform is directly based upon
it, and embraces all its essential principles. Can
you then hesitate to decide where, and in what
political association you can find a congenial

The Wing State Convention Ass ,mhlas next
week and considerable discussion already ap-
pears to be going on among their jodrnals, on
the question, who shall be nominated as candi-
date for Governors Several Of the papers in the
west and south part of the State are urging the
claims of Holbrook but with the rest, and
greater portion of the Wing Press, the current
is very evidently setting strongly in faver of
Judge Royce.
There is no doubt, we think, but that they
will take pretty strong ground against the Ne
~; when they VIII doubtless renew their long
since relinquishod claim "to be the only true
free soil party" Anti-Slavery men, however,
who.havo heard them tell that story before, may
wish to see them undergo a little probation
hay till after they have settled on their next
presidential candidate-botorc they put full
faith in their professions. Although the friends
Of Freedom have nothing to hope, and every
thing to fear, from the present Administration
yet they will not take the professions of the
Wings on trust at once, or without asking them
What Suarantee--as you formerly made strong
free soil pretensions, and forgot them ALL in the
sapport Of Fugitive-Slayc-Law Fillmore, and in
tho adoption of the Baltimore Pltiorm--wat
guaranty can you give US that you will not do
so again? You once carried out your anti
slavery principles by electins man for Presi-
dent owning 800 Slaves, You are now laying
claim to the same principles again, but how do
you propose to carry them out next time7" Let
the Wings but once convince the Free Democ-
racy that their sins against Freedom are at an
end-that thcy have forever repudiated their
old pro-slayery compromises with the South,
ana their neutralizing connection with Slave
holders, however liberal, and they will at once
be bailed as brothers in the great work now in
progress-the realization Of the Declaration of
Independence.

A PRETTY Observation-Disclosures Toucey, the
Connecticut apostatc Democrat in the closing
debate of the Nebraska Bill, acknowledged he
had received instructions from the Legislature
of his State, to vote against the bill, but said
he should not obey them! So it seems the old
favorte doctrine of obedience to the instructions
of constituents is openly rcpudiated by the party
at Washington.
