the Nebraska bill was pending before Con-
gress, visited Washington, and then and
there urged personally and privately upon
% every Loeofoco delegate flom Ohio, the
great importance of voting for this huge
Nebraska swin1le, as it would become the
b ~'coruer stone" in the cardinal principles of
the present Administration.

a delegate to the National Convention

against proposition that the Ohio delega-

The RurIingtOn Tragedy.

A committee of the Joint Board of direc-
tors of the Camdon and Amboy Railway
Company have published report on the
late tradgedy at Burlington, in which they
endeayor to show that no blame can proper
.ly be attached 10 the management of the
road for the accident. The following ex-
tract from il is of interest:
GO "Incipient steps have been taken to con-
estruet two more tracks between Trenton
and New Brunswick; which, including the
Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad, will
provide additional facilities between New
York and Philadelphia; not in the expecta-
ton Of preventing accidents, but to expedi-
ls.e the transit between the two cities
Nothing but the depressed state of railroad
securities in the money market has prevent
5edtbe prosecution of this work.
THE Philadelphia Inquirer says:
q The report is discredltable and outrage
-ous In spirit, all the circumstances consider
ed, will be read with surprise. 1t now re-
mains for the surviving sufferers, and tie
relatives Of the dead to seek due redress al
the Courts Of Law. One passage Of the
report may also be regared as blasphemous
1t is as follows: "If lightning from Heaven
were TO strike our cars,it would be as reason,
able to say that the Company is responsible
for the result, because they had not fixed
lightning rods to each car as to say that
the Company were responsible for the re-
cent accident, because they had not built
double track" Language like this, ad.
dressed to the weeping mourners Of dead
relatives, or to the suffers whose wounds
are not yet healed, is indeed adding insult
10 injury,

Principles Of the Border Rufians

Some one who had no business in sucl
company, introduced bill in the Kansa;
Legislature to prevent the separation o.
Slave Families. This little piece of human.
ity produced an intense excitement among
the rufians, and the prime bully (String'
fellow made the following speech against
"He was opposed to the bill not only be-
cause it unjustly discriminates, but because
It's principals are wrong. He didHot think

pretend 10 be any better than Gods chos-

framed ls0s which allowed the separation
of husband and wife and of families. I BE-
EeUe SIR, IL Is right to sell mother from, her
child or a aOife from, her husband; If / did
not, Il0ouId vote for this 6M' He then
showed that tax sales would nulify the OBJ
ject of the bill, and he thought it would
make the condition Of the slave worse than
il is. This act be said, 'enIails all those
things on the slave you seem to consider
evil. I don't call them evils; TO sell slaves
is right; a right recognized By God him
self; recognized by every Southern State "
y The vote was then called, and the bill was,
d of course, rejeeted-l7 to 8.
A man who believes it to be Gright to

cienily shameless to make the avowal, is

the candidates form portable Democratic

that the oil can is dry and the defeated
candidates won't contribute; and even the

whr non,t theY Redeernl

Last year sundry politicians told the peo-
pie that the Kansas ILL was bill of free
dom that its passage would allow freemen
to settle a Gordon of free States around the
slave States. These gentlemen rolled up
their eyes in horror at the idea that the at
trocious Republicans should say otherwise.
Senator C. E. Stuart, Of Michigan, stumped
Michigan with such imposture on his tongue.
These gentlemen even promised opposition
to any other result, and resign their places
or oppose the Administration if it acted
against freedom. But now that evidences
are overwhelming that Slavery is there and
protected there, they do not one Of them re-
sign their places, or condemn the President.
