the Nebraska question: Some of our country con-
tenporaries. since the elections are very DESTROYS

the Nebraska question since the late elections.
1t is squatter sovereignty? y?-that doctrine is re-
pr,diated by the democracy Of the south. Is il
the introduction of slavery into Kansas and Ne
braska?-that idea is secuted BY all the democia-
cy of the north. Cass and Douglas included Is it
that free labor may expel slave labor from the
new Territories south OF &c 3O!-this view of the
subject agrees with the Scarlet Letter but the
Cabinet organ is silent upon it. As far as we can
figure it out, the platform of the President and
Cabinet at Washington on the Nebraska bill is
that of the soft she'll Syracuse convention-to-w
that the bill was unwise. uneaed tor and mex

AN ABOLITION OUTRAGE.

The cleveland Herald (Ohio) of the goth, con-
tains the following:
We are no apologist for slavery but at the same
time we despise rowdyism and blackguardism when
used by fanatics in their rash and illegal efforts to
carry out their mistaken notions of philanthropy. -
Yesterday when the cars arrived at Salem, in Co.
lumbia county, from Pittsburg, a crowd had gather
ed at the depot despatch from Pittsburg having
informed them that slave girl was on board under
charge Of her master and mistress. When the
| stopped big negro stepped into Them and accost
ing the girl asked her if she was slave She made
no reply, but her mistress answered that she
Thereupon the black ruan seized her. and she, cling
ing to her mistress's neck begged most piteously
not to be torn away; but the black fellow violently
tore her away, and the effort bruised the adys neck
severely and carried the child out of the cars on
arm and hourished revolver in the other hand,
amid the plaudts of the excited crowd
The master of the child was not just than in the
car, and upon hearing of the rescue offered to go
before any officer and execute free papels if the
girl wished to be Free leaving the matter to the girl
But the mob would listen to no such thing. The
chds screams We're heard above the tumult, begging
to go back, that she could again see her mother
who belongs to the same owner.
The life of the owner was threatened, and he dare
not remain over, but went on in the cars to carry
grief to the mother of the girl.
This is outrage, and the people of Columbana
owe it to themselves to wipe out this stain.
That long-haired, brainless c. G. Burleigh was
on hand, and made harangue to the crowd"
We verify believe that the worst spirit out of
perdtion, the spirit of Abolitionsm 1t is COM
pound of ignorance, bigotry, envy, hatred and all
uncharitableness. 1t processes to know better
than the slave does what is best for his good,
for in this case Others the slave torn weep
ing from the owner and forced into freedom
We satisfied that Abolitionsm is gaining
strength. All the evidences We see that way.
Outrages like the above are by means rare. But

ence of portion of the army and navy of the coun

people of the slaveholdng States vifed and

An unprecedented drought is prevailing in Ohio

setts Maine, and other Northern and Eastern States
They have had rain of benefit to the growing
crops since the last of June Fires have been rag.
ing in the mountains of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire in the forests of Maine and New York. and in
the woods and swamps of Ohio The loss from this
cause is said to have been great
The potatoe and corn crop, it is stated has been
materially injured and in localities entirely cut
off, and in Maryland the crop is also suffering.
The accounts though doubtless somewhat exaggera-
ted, are really gloomy. The ensuing year must be
one of general scarcity in the Northern States and
of serious suffering to the poor.
The Southern and South Western States have
generally, we believe, been blessed with good sea-
sons We see no complaint of drought in Tennes-
see Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, or South Carolina;
and in this State far have learned the rains
have been general and frequent. The wheat crop
of North Carolina did not turn out, by twenty-five
per cent, as well as was expected but the corn
crop gives promise of fair yield. The weather is
dry and hot just now and late is needing rain;
but the crop will, upon the whole, be good one.
We have made inquiries of the Sherifs and others
recently in the City from various parts of the State,
and what we state is the result of the information
obtained.
The tobacco CROP we learn, is looking finely.
The demand for breadstuffs in this State will pro-
badly be greater the ensuing year than heretofore,
owing to the mining getting, turpentine, and
Railroad operations. These various departments of
labor have not only added to the number of consul
mers, but many hands have been taken thereby from
the farms; yet we have apprehension of any
thing like serious scarcity of provisions. We think
we may safely say to farming friends that the
increased demand for breadstufs, coupled with the
continued abundance of money, will most probably
ensure amply remunerating if not high prices for
provisions of all kinds during the next eight or
twelve months

If Henry Clay were living now, he would be

now sowed in Granville County produced

VOICE FROM THE WEST

Democrat (says the Richmond Enquirer) wr-
ting to from Indiana, says: at is a settled
opinion of the patriotic Democracy here that there
arc now only two parties, the Democratic and the
Nothern Abolitonists the latter composed of radical
Temperance men Chose in favor of the Maine liquor
law Know-Nothings, and the Anti Nebraskaites
These all combined together to assal and over
throw the Democracy of this State, and to my sor-
row must state that believe that they will give
the Democracy tight battle. The pulpit of the
Episcopal Church is desecrated 10 political discussion
The ministers ofthat Church have laid aside preach
ing the gospel, and walked into the arena of the
present contest. 1 have heard some of the most
able Ministers say that the Nebraska bill was ur-
righteous, unholy unconstitutional and damnable
law and law against God and further, " that they
believed that all the supporters and advocates ofthe
bill were of the punishments of an offended
God and that their souls would be launched to the
eternal confines of dark-seated hell You proba-
oily draw inference from these signs how
the political affairs of this State stand at present"
AS general rule the Democrats of the free States
are still standing firmly by the principle of the Ne
braska BILL and the platform the last national
Convention. But there exceptions, and signs of
disorganization especially in Maine New HAMPSHIRE
Indiana and Ohio. The Wing party, utterly unsound
it is in every part in the free States the slavery
question: is bringing to its aid every ism which pro-
misses to be of service to it in the coming struggle
Abolition Whiggery - Greedy ism- Maine-lawism
Anti-Nebraskaism, Know Nothngism-these consti-
tute the elements out of which and by which the
great Wing party of the free States is seeking
profit and power 1t will require all the energy and
power of the national Democracy to meet and over
come these combinations.
