DARING ROBBERY

mostdaring and outrageous robbery, the partie-
ulars OF which have just reached US was committed
in Wetzel county, recently, not more than ten or
twelve miles from the county seat, and immediate
" upon the public highway, the State turnpike
road leading from here to the Ohio river. An indi-
Vidual called one evening al The house old Mr. Nor
gan, PADDY Mort they call the old gentleman and
requested permission to stay there all night which
was readily granted. Daring the evening, he went
out and returned several times, without exciting
suspicion, he having complained OF being unwell,
and asked The privilege Of unrestrained egress and
ingress The night waned, however, and the vii
lain thought il time TO carry ont his purpose. He
accordingly went out once more, and after staying
some times returned with an mplice-the twain

RIGHrs OF THE cLER CT.

From an crack made by the Union upon the three
thousand clergymen who petitioDfd Congress
against the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, il
might be inferred that the writer for that paper be-
heVed, that in assuming The responsible task OF
preaching the Gospel, cergymen became Invested
OF all civil rights, and that il is travelling out of
their Legitimate sphere for them 10 take eognzance
OF any secular concerns. Now we think different
". We believe that clergymeu have as much right
as others to Observation-Disclosures the passage Of any
measure byICongress calculated, in their opinion,
TO produce internal dissention; leopard The pub
lie welfare;ior to violate the national faith. y
The Unien charges upon the ministers above re-

premise as party measure, and classes those who
hold efficient opinion, as enemies of the repubz
lie" This:is unjust 10 say the least of it, for in
opposition p the repeal may be classed those who
have manifested attachment 10 their country other
wise than ia words. The cool beaded, rejecting
portion OF She community, even in the Southern
States, are opposed to this violation of a solemn
compact and they will not shrink from the open
expression OF their opihicns. They believe thai
the passage of the Nebraska Kansas bill in its pre
sent shape, will once more throw open the slavery
subject for discussion, and that bitter sectional
feeling may b. The result Nav, they fear that the
repeal Of tie Missouri Compromise may induce
Inc aorogation OF various laws which now exist fcr
the protection of Southern rights.
We think that great mistake was made by those
Southern Senators who supported the Nebraska
bill; and we believe that time will convince them
OF their errqr, should the bill finally become law.
In their enteavor 10 obtain shadow they NAV lose

large the boundaries of slavery an inch The Sonih
Is 10 hazard everything for barren privilege which
can never be used. The Nebraska bill. with its
repeating provision, is a Northern trap to caich
Southern gulls; and it has succeeded with many.
Those Southern members of Congress who possess
toe much sagaciiy to be thus caught are 10 be mark
ed for their ohsianacy, and discarded. we presume
from their party. The Union and the Sentinel
pull in unison on this subject, however they may
quarrel over the distribution of the spoils.
