ing as the creed and indicative of the ten
dency of the Administration Democracy

Democratic Administration
Answer.-To protect. spread, strength
en-, cherish and obey the Slave Power.

Slave Power.
Q.-What is the chief employment Of
the Executive Department Of Government ?
A.-Yetoing measures of public utility,
bribing members of Congress to betray

ular sovereigns on this administration

servants to the public into damnation pre-
pared for charlatans and traitors.

The Arts Of n Demngozue.

Gov. Medill we understand, in localities
where he thinks it will make him votes,
processes the most radical FreesoiI senti-
ments. Particularly is he anxious to i'm
press the German voters with this idea,
fearing if he does not do it they will sup
port Mr.. Chase. Now, we feel disposed to
put this demsgogue TO test
We charge that in 1852, at the Balti-
more convention, (the one that nominated
Pierce,) a resolution was introduced at a
meeting of the Ohio delegation, instructing
the committee man from Ohio who should
be placed on the committee on resolutions,
to oppose tie introduction Of '.fnality"
clause in the piatfOrRs-AED THE REsoLU-
TION WAS LAID ON THE TABLE BY THE
AID OF THE VOTE OF Gov MEDILL.
At the same meeting, another resolution
affirming the adherence of the Democracy
of Ohio to the State platform adopted in
1850, UaS also laid on the ta5Ls-GOV.
MEDILL VOTING WITH THE MA
JORITY.
The State platform of 1850 contained the
huiCu woo dAoO CAuDl
ced in the platform of l84s, to wit:
"Resoivsd, That the people of Ohio, now
as they have always done, look upon the
institution of Slavery in any part of the Uu-
ion, as an evil, and unfavorable to the full
Development of the spirit and practical ben
efts of free institutions; and that entertain
ing these sentiments, they will at all times
feel it TO be their duty to use all power,
clearly given By the terms of the National
compact, 10 prevent its increase, to mitigate
and finally to eradicate the evil"
Now, did, or did not, Gov Med;ll vote in
1852, at a meeting of the Ohio delegation,
as charged above? If he did, what be-
comes Of his boasted Freesoil sentiments
And if he did no! so vote, will he or any of
bis friends by authority, venture on de-

The SIave-drivIng Democracy,


Of Saudusky county, held their primary
elections for the nomination of county Off
GERS, on Saturday the 9th, and on the 10th
the returns from the several townships were
examined and the successful nominees an
nounced. We saw a number of disappoint-
ed ofice-seekers with uncommon long faces,
as the vote of the townships was stated 10
the meeting. The vote was a small one
954. The names of the nominees are as
follows:
John L. Greene-RepreseEtative;
VIM. E. Representation;
George Eng!er-Sheriff;
T. P. Finefrock-Pfosecuting Attorney
John Orwig-Commissioner;
Jacob Snyder-Recorder;
7. W. Clapp-Surveyor;
Peter Beaugrand-Infrmary Director
Phillip Short-Coroner.
The Democracy also expressed their pref
erence for Isaac Knapp for State Senator.
The above ticket has been put up to be
beaten, and it most assuredly will be done,
if the Republicans only do their whole du-
ty. Falter not then in the work. See ev-
cry voter in your district and be sure that
he is at the polls. Do this and we warrant
the triumph Of our cause.

New States.

The Albany Journal says "there are
four territories whose population will, prob
ably within a year, entitle them to admis-
sion as States The ratio of Congressional
apportionment is now one Representative
to every 93,420 inhabitants. But it has
been customary heretofore to admit terri
tories as States with single Representa-
tive when their population amounted 10 co.
900. Minnesota, it appears by her recent
census, has population of over $4,000, and
is rapidly growing. Oregon last year had
$4,000, and probably now equals Minneso-
ia. New Mexico had, at the time Of the
formation of her territorial Government, lin
1850 81, 500 inhabitants. Her population
now must be near 100000. Kansas falls
behind either Of the others in population,
but the facilities of emigration and settle
ment there are SO much greater that if the
preservation of law and order were guar
antced, il would soon oyertake them

Mr. Charles Ingersoll, one of the killed
on the Camden & Amboy Railroad, would
have inherited fortune of 100000 had he
lived until he arrived at the age of twenty
one, which would have been the last of the
present month. A clause in the will pro-
vided that in the event of his Gecease be-
fore arriving at age, the fortune would fall
to another branch of the family. 1t is said
an effort will be made to recover this
amount from the company, as in all proba-
bility, had not this accident occurred, he
would have lived to come in possession Of

Distressing Railroad Accident.

A distressing casually occurred on the
Mad River Road yesterday, three miles
south of Kenton. The morning Express
train, bound North--Conductor Ed. Weih-
erell, Engineer, George Bristol-was run
ming at high speed and when at the point
named the locomotive flew the track, and
the whole train was instantly in ruins The
fireman was killed. Mr.. Bristol was dread
fully injured-fatally it is thOugbt-Mr.
Welherell is BADLY bruised, though it is
thought not seriously, and most of the pas
engers and others on the train were more or
less battered and bruised but not, we be-
leive, manned.
The mishap was caused it is thought, by
one of the oak planks, laid inside the track
for crossing, having been pressed SO near
to the rail as to touch the fange of the
wheel-thus lifting the engine 20 throw it
from the rail. Mr.. Bristol is known as one
of the most careful engineers in the State;
and whatever the cause of the accident, it
is evident there was no cprelessness in the
case, without it can be charged against those
having that section of road in their care, for
leaving crossing plank In such condition
as to be moved.
We refrain from any other comment un-
till the whole fact transpires; but say that,
from all we can learn from passengers on
the train and from Mr.. Wetherel-who is
now with his friends in this city-it was one
of those accidents which no care on the part
of the conductors of the train could antic-
ipate or avoid.
The engine-"Patterson"-and tender
and all the cars of the train are badly used
up. The fireman was new hand on the
road, and was not known 10 any one with
whom we conversed. Mr.. Bristol was re-
moved to his home in Dayton, we believe
and how badly he is injured was not ascer-
tanned by our informants.

Bravo! strinsfeIIow!

Among the black laws brought forward
in the Legislature Of Kansas, was one ex-
empting slaves from execution for debt, and
also forbidding the separation by sale of
children from their mothers, or of "male
and female slaves living together as man
and wife," with their masters sanction -
The object of this law was to encourage the
immigration of Shareholders. But String
fellow, the renowned Slringfellow, opposed
it, and on the following grounds:
ale did not think the principle of separ-
ating husband and wife or child and moth
er was wrong do not pretend to be any
better than Gods chosen people were, or
God himself; and God framed laws which
allowed the separation ofhusband and wife
and of families. l believe, sir, it is right to
sell mother from her child or wife from
her husband; if did not, would vote for
this bill"
