The LADIES AND THE HIGHER Law!


We find a singular narrative copied from
the Winchester (lndiana Emblem, of a recent
date:
DIT appears that one Thornton Alexander, of
that place, died victim Of the whiskey seller,
leaving behind wife and five children, in alb
iect poverty. He is represented to have been
. man of more than ordinary talent and Of q
warm and generous heart His death occa-
stoned great excit ,ment against the liquor eel
lers, and the ladies of the town took the subject
in hand, and instituted a prohibitory law,
which they proceeded forthwith to put into OK.
ecution At about four o'clock in the after
noon, some forty or fifty of the most respecta-
BILE ladies in the town marched to David Aker's
grocery, handed him pledge, and requested
him to sign it, the pledge was, Not TO sell
any more liquor in Winchester He remon-
strated, but finding that nothing else would
satisfy them, he subscribed to it, opened bis
doors, and about four barrels of old whiskey,
and six or eight kegs of brandy, gin, and wine,
were rolled out and emptied into the street
The liquor was valued at ono hundred and ten
dollars; the amount was made up. They then
marched to VIM. Pages, presented the pledge
he refused to sign it--they asked admittance,
he refused to admit them; they chopped his
II,
barrels into the street, and poured his wbiskey
out. They then marched to James Enises-he
signed the pledge; thence they went 7, Ed
ward Retter's, who subscribed to the pledge;
thence to Way g. Kizcr, administered the
pledge; thence to Henry P. Kizer's drug stora,,
and he pledged; thence to Bineer's--here they
met with opposition; he positively refused to-
subscribe to the pledge The ladies hesitated
but moment; his daughter, who possesses q
warm and generous heart, and had been act-
lively engaged in the evenings work, pushed in
to her fathers grocery, and brought out keg
whose head was stove in and its contents
wasted upon the ground Thence they march
ed to Mr.. Wilson's grocery, and after admins
tering the pledge unto him, they proceeded to
DIR. Craig's drug store, administered the pledge,
and then adjourned to meet to-day, at half
past two O'Clock, p. M, when they will come
together TO destroy the Brewery, the only place
in town in which they have not introduced and
established the Maine Law.

NrcARAGuA.-This State has formally an
nounced her severance from the Central Amer
lean Confederacy, and constituted herself a
Republic, thus abandoning all hope of reform
ing the old league. A new Constitution has
been adopted, which increases the Presidential
term to four years, and gives him almost I'M
limited powers. The army has greatly in
creased and tho pay more than doubled. The
Commissioner sent TO arrange the boundary
dispute with Honduras failed 10 do so, as Hon
duras still insists upon her ultra territorial
pretensons. Another revolution was at the
last dates apprehended in Nicaragua, the re-
suit Of which upon property was much feared.

To the Editor of the National Era:
It is rumored here that Charles Reemelin
and Timothy Day have purchased the Folks
bla,t, the German Democratic paper of this
city. They design to make it the organ Of the
Anti Nebraska and progressive Democracy.
The prospect now is, that in the coming fall
election in this State, we shall have strong
organization Of the friends of Freedom On
the Western Reserve the Wings and Free-soil-
ers are cordially uniting. Several of their pa
pers have already been united The Daily
Forest City, Whig) and Daily True Democrat
Free .Democratic,) have been united, and is
now called the Morning Leader The Wing
and Free.soil papers in Trumbull county and
in Portage county have alSo been united, and
the Wing paper in Medina county has been
converted into Free Democratic paper. In
the northwest several Democratic papers, such
as the Paulding Democrat, Defiance Democrat,
and Kahda Hsnturs are boiling the old organ-
ization, and urging the organization of Free
dom party. In all parts of the State men all a.
throwing off their old party trammels, and ma
king Freedom the great our stion, The pros
poet now is that next fall we shell have but
two parties in the field, the Slavery party and
the Freedom party; and when the contest is
thus narrowed down, we cannot doubt but that
Freedom will obtain great triumph over Sla-
very.
The Western Christian advocate of this week
contains bold and able editorial against the
Nebraska bill. The editor, DIR. Elliott joins
Issue with Mr.. D0uglss on the duty of the
clergy in this crisis. DR.. Elliott reads the pc
tition Of Cincinnati clergymen against the Ne
braska bill. His paper has circulation of
twenty-five thousand in the West, and will do
much to awaken public sentiment upon the
question.
| will continue to communicate to you such
items Of interest in this region, as may OCCUR,
bearing on the cause of Human Freedom. Z.
