great rage. and laid hold Of us, and threa.-
ened to put u7 out Of his office, (bat We
rather guessed he didn't, )And that he wou!d

that he did. We told him then that We

ANOTHER REvEhNED WoLF.--The Pu-
laski (Oswego, county Democrat says
that the Rev James Hudson, "A member Of
the Methodist Conference and stationed at
HomesYine, in that county, astheir preach
er, left there some time in November last,
with his wife, and it was said, on a visit to
her friends in Madison County. Since he
left it was discovered that girl about sew
enteen years Of age, and member of his
church, who had been living at his house
for some time previous, was enciente, and
inquiry being made by the proper author
ity as TO the facts, she admitted it to be
the case, and swore it on the reverned
gentleman; but he is among the missing
E1chaage.
Had a Catholic priest committed this
outrage it would have furnished the know
notbings indignant thunder for month OF
two. This instance of scoundTclism, con-
nected with others Of similar nature that
might be cited, shows that men Of debased
passions get into the protestant pulpit, and
under the garb of piety outrage decency,
morality and religion; but it does not prove
that religian is a cheat, and no devou
member would think Of leaving the church
in consequence, If bad men even get in
TO the pulpit, is it unreasonable that bat
men get into politicsl-though this Is nc
reason why man should abandon party

Know Nothing Ticket.

The following ticket for city officers was
manufactured in the Know Nothing coun-
Gil of this city, on last Friday nigh;. 1t
will be seen that the Maine law wing of
that order have things pretty much their
own way; as the ticket, excepting the
candidate for Market master, is composed
of men whose political prejudices are
known to be strongly in favor of stringent
prohibitory liquor laws. 1t appears that
the threat made by certain Main law
politicion of this city not long ago, that
he "intended 10 ase the ruaning-geers Of
Rao@-Nothingism to Jaytaer the election
Of Temperance men, 6ereqtter," was not
idly made, nor made by one who did pot
kroW the men with whom he had to deal.
But, here is the ticket:

AID AND COMFORT FROM SOUTHERN SLAVES.
"A few weeks ago we noticed the fact that
several slaves in Mobile had made liberal
donatiobs in aid of the suffering poor at the
North. The following from the New York
Journal Of Commerce speaks for itself:
we yesterday received taOcnty dollars
and Gty cents from Columbus, Mississip-
pi, accompanied by the followingcommun-
ication and list of donations. In several
points of view this is very interesting af-
fair. 1t shows becoming sympathy be-
tween colored men North and South. 1t
shows that southern slaves have money to
spare, when free coored men, and free
white men are in distress for the necessar-
les of life. This is one Of the aGeviating
features of slavery which should be taken
for what itis worth. We know OF no bet
ter way to dispose of the money SO as to
meet the wishes of the donors, than TO
place it in the hands of Rev. Charles B.
Ray, missionary atlarge to the colored peo-
pie of this city, with instructions. to dis
pose of it according to his best Judgment,
for the relief of such Of them as arc suffer-
ing. We shall dispose Of it accordingly"
The communication referred to covers
the list Of the slave donors, some fifty in
number.

A Sad Sight.

'Tisa sad sight to witness in these de-
generate days, men who once stood as
bright and shining lights in one or the
other Of the great parties of the country,
prowling around with cadaverous conten-
ances, seeking the spoils almost ere the
smoke of battle has passed away. Men
who once boldly walked their path of hon
or, and who Of right have demanded emol-
ument, now, with downcast eyes, and
looks Of painful anxiety, tread the sinks of
Know-Nothingism, bowling with syco-
phantic air to the men who deal out the
petty favors of that. proscrptiye and ty-
ranical order.
Tis strange that men who have hereto.
fore occupied prominent positions in the
councils Of the State, and elsewhere should
be so near sighted as not to see deception
in every movement Of these fusiontsts.-
Are those who were once democrats fool
ish enough to believe there is anything lei
for them? Where will they be found, af
Ter wings, Abolitionists and fanatics, polit
ical haks, Office seekers of twenty years
and unsatisfied cormorants of every hue
striped as Jacobs cettle, have fed at tn
public crib? Methinks wanting.
Let certain democratic fusionists re
member that the old liners have less sym
pathy for them than others, for theirs ho
been the greatest sin, the lofliest fall, an
therefore tee deeper their degradation.

Veto Of the spoilation am.

The veto Of the French spoilation bill
by President Pearce, has provoked an in
digpant protest from the persons who cal
culated on rcalising the profits of shame
less speculation at the expense of the gov
eminent, and will be portionably ap-
plauded by the people, whose interests gre
promoted by the judicious and salutary
exercise of executive power. 1t is for.
tunate for the country that at this time We
have President of integrity and courage
to stem the torrent of corruption which
threatens to break through the safeguards
of the constitution, and to sweep away all
the barriers of public virtue.
The argument in support of the veto is
equally candid and conclusive. The OBJ
iections to the bill are of the weightiest
character, and will satisfy the country thai
the President did his duty in preventing
its passage. President Pierce expounds
the power of executive veto in the sense
in which it has always been understood
by the democratic party, -and in which i
has been repeatedly approved by the coun
try. His theory is undoubtedly the trut
construction of the constitution.
For time the clam6r of claim agent!
will fill the public ear, but afterward tn,
voice of the people will be heard, sustain
ing and applauding the President in hi
resistance to profigate expenditure 0
the. national treasure. In Ohio, what
ever may be the affected indignation o
partisans, there will be but one opinion O
the veto among all candid people.
