PATENT LIGHTNING RoDs.--Many Of the
modern patented and improved lightning
rods afford no protection, but actually en-
danger the&uilding upon which they are
placed. The principal defect is. tina, the
insulators, SO called, are no insuators at
all, but conductors. having metallic con-
nection through their centres. thus uniting
the rod at many points with the building.
The rods being too small TO conduct any
considerable amount of electricity, it pass
es off upon the wet surface Of the building,
through these sham insulators, and. as its
manner sometimes is, runs through into
the interior, if it finds anything attractive
there.

The SlaYnOcrncH.

Tow ofen has the stirring announcement
been made, that the American Democracy
was the chosen instrument to spread the light
Of Freedom over the world, and strike off the
fetters of oppression from all nations. How
many brave and strong spirits have been kin
died into rfptures OF enthusiasm, by this grand
idea, and given hand, heart and soul TO the
cause. Men from the down trodden principal
tiles, Kingdoms and empires Of the old world,
have enlisted and served in the grand army Of
Freedom. Suddenly their chosen leaders have
betrayed, disgraced and sold them. They are
fighting for Slavery! They are the chosen life
guards OF those who buy and sell men, women,
farmers, arts ans, mechanics and musicians as
they buy and sell cattle in the market! More,
they have driven Liberty from her homestead,
in Nebraska and Kansas, and are now putting
slaves in her room.
"What a fall was there, my countrymen!-
then you and /, and all of us, fell down; while
treason nourished over u.s."
Let not the perpetrators and supporters Of
this foul wrong, any longer claim the honorable
name of Democrats, or lovers of Freedom. -
They are the SLAvEOCRACY, henceforth,

apolishes freedom in the territories, with.
drawn from the influence Of slavery by the
Missouri Compromise Of 1920. and that we
will oppose by every constitutional means
any further increase Of slave territories or
slave States 10 this Republican Confeder-
alton.
Resolved, That In order that public SEN
timest on this great subject may be con-
centrsted and developed in this State at
the earliest possible period, we will pro-
ceed TO place in nomination suitable candi-
dates for the Supreme Bench and Board
Of Public Works, and invoke in their sup
port at the coming election the votes of all
good citizens, without reference to political
parties.
RESOLVED, That we concur in the RECON-
mendation of the people Of Michigan, that
there be called a general Convention Of
the free States, orsuch portion Of them, as
may see ct to send delegates, with view
to adopt more effective measures 10 resist
the encroacbment OF slavery, and that a
committee Of Eve be appointed to cross
bond and cooperate with our friends in
other States on his subject
Resolved That Committee be appoint
ed as pro tempore State Centeral Commit
tee, with power to call another Convention,
should il be deemed necessary, to carry
out the designs Of this Convention.
Resolved, The soil of Nebraska and
Kansas, shall be appropriated to free homes
for free men.
Mr.. Spaulding in presenting these reso-
latiors, made som pointed remarks in which
he denied that the object Of the convention
was a fusion Of freesoilers, wings and abo-
litionists, but union of the people of Ohio
for one grand purpose-to stay the pro-
gress OF slavery. He said he was demo
crat himrelf, of the Jeffersonian school, but
not Of the Pierce and Douglas stamp.
Mr. Probasco followed, and pledged
Miami county against slavery.
General Eckley next took the floor, and
spoke 10 favor Of the resolutions.
Mr.. Grower, from the Committee on
Nominations, reported the following as the
unanimous choice Of the committee:
For Judge of tie Supreme Court

Whal,S the use.

"Whars the use of making fuss about the
Negro Slaves going TO Kansas and Nebraska7
We need not trouble ourselves about il, we are
not compelled to go there, and Slavery then
won't hurt as. All this agitation disturbs the
harmony of the great Democratic party, with.
out doing any good"
The above is kind of stupefying dose pre-
pared BY politicians and retailed by office seek
ers in these parts, 10 the people. These doc
tors would fain keep the people asleep, while
they take a little more money from their pock-
cts, and the Shareholders steal more territory
from Freedom.
Now, Reader, suppose the men of '76 had
reasoned after the above fashion, and had said
"What's the use of making so much fuss about
little tax on tea2 we are not bound TO use tea
the tax is a small matter any how, and DOM
hurt any body unless they choose TO be hurt;-
war is terrible, now don't let us raise any dis
! turbance."

Among the presents sent out by the Gov
ernment TO the Emperor OF Japan, were so me
bottles of American Whisky. II was doubtless

a desire to trade with people who could man.

Wedon't see how President Fillmore could
consent to the sending of those few "bo:iles
of american WAisky, for he is and for
years has been a thorough temperance
man. If the japanese could be persuaded
to pass the Maine Law, aud an anti-opium
law. what incalculaole evils il would pre-
prevent When the white man first land
on the shores OF the American Continent,
he gave to his new found red brother, the
cursed SIRE water" and how fearfully has
it wrought his downfall. The white mans
whiskey has been the destroyer of the Indi.

nation Of the cviliz ed world will be visited
upon the first Yankee who carries thither
Intoxicating liquors. Let the mark of Cain
be stamped upon him; let him be treated
as an ontlaw among the nations; let him be
classed among pirates; for he would deserve
no other punishment than that Of the muir
derer Of the Japanese.

ExactIy so.

The Sandusky Democrat of last week.
has the following ominous paragraph in its
article on "Know Nothngs"
alt requires no prophetic vision to foresee
that il will require united de mocracy TO defeat
this assembage of Cog and Magog whose di-
mensions are looming up so portentousIy on the
politca sky. Is il wise. then, to ALLEVIATE that
portion Of our party who conscientiously oppos-
ed the repeal OF the Missouri Compromise by
pursuing them with opprobrious epithets AM
denuneiaiions. as is being done by the dema-
gognes in our ranks?"
Here in the words Of an old writer, is the
account Of an occurrence that "locmed up
rather "portentiously." There was gres,
feast. and they drank wine in the halls o.
Belshazzar, and praised the gods of gold
and Of silver; and
ain the same hour came forth the finger, o
mans hand. and wrote over against the can
dlestick upon the plaster of the wall OF the
kings palace; and the king saw the part Of the

bled in Neil's New Hall, the largest in the
city, and then there was not room for one
half who sought entrance. The meeting
