WON'T STAND IT.--We understand that
several of our old line whig' friends, who,
at first. were dissatisfied with the nominee
of the Republican Convention for governor,
have been so pestered annoyed, and bedev-
lied by the locofocos to run for office upon
their ticket, that they have been compelled,
in self-defence, to avow themselves in favor
of Mr. Chase in order to escape the impor-
tunities of these desperate politicians.
1t is come to pretty pass truly, when
men cannot express little freedom Of opin.
ion without being subject to such insults!

Eg~The ticket put in nomination by the
republican convention at Columbus on the
18th, must strike every candid mind as pc
culiarly appropriate. 1t is made up Of some
of the best men of all the parties who are
expected to support it. These men agree
upon the one great point of opposition to
the spread of slavery, and that is sufficient.
Because some of them may hold opinions
upon other subjects with which we cannot
agree--such as banking, taxation, Know
Nothingsm &c.---it is no reason why we
should not support the ticket fairly nomina-
ted Ifelected they will represent our views
upon the one great question, and that alone.
This is enough; it is all the reasonable men
of Ohio ought to ask, or will ask. The ticket
is made up of able, honorable men if elect
ed, they will do their duties accurately, hon
estly and promptly their influence will be
thrown in favor Of freedom instead of slave
ry and this is all we want of them.
Gg~Some of our democratic contemporaries
dislike to be called 'Fthe slave democracy
and affect to repel the name as inapplicable
because that party repealed the black laws Of
Ohio We do not see what the repeal of the
black laws of Ohio had to do with slavery,
except to favor it by inviting among us the
refuse negroes of other states. But the black
laws were considered Objectionable and op-
pressive upon the blacks by the freesoilers,
who happened to hold the balance of power
in the Ohio Legislature one winter, and so
the slave democracy made haste to strike a
bargain with the free soilers, by which Mr..
Chase was elected to the U. S. senate, the
black laws repealed, Mr.. Hamline elected to
the board of public works, and Sam Medary
got the public printing That is just how
much of patriotism and freedom " the party
displayed on that occasion.
But when "the party object to being call
ed t" the slave democracy just ask them
who repealed the Missouri restriction and let
slavery into Kansas and Nebraska? What
party was it that clandestinely rushed Texas
into the Union to strengthen the slave pow
er, and made war on Mexico with the same
object in view? What party is it that the
south always unite with as '' the friend and
natural ally of slavery?'

THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

A pro-slavery state convention has recent
ly been held at Lexington, Missouri, to take
measures to advance slavery interests more
Ieffectual,y over Kansas and elsewhere. An
address was voted to the people of the Un-
ion, to put down the discussion of slavery.
Free soil papers in slave states must be sup
pressed, and the Union is in danger if slave
Try is restricted. The Kansas Nebraska act
and fugitive slave law were approved, and
the Legislature of Missouri was called on to
legsate against Massachusetts or any other
state ;hat should disapprove of them. The
Is counties aud $4,000 slaves in Missouri
bordering upon Kansas, made it necessary to
have slavery established in that territory.
Tremendous excitement occasionally swayed
the convention, but its modest and benevo-
lent labors We're finally brought to close
after boisterous sessio of two days.
G3~The recent news from Kansas is of an
Iexciting character. The legislature had met
at Pawnee, the place designated by the gov
Iernor organized, the governors message was
delivered, the free-state members were ousted
and their opponents substituted, bill was
passed to remove the sittings to the Metho
dist Mission, in the neighborhood of West
port, Mo-, vetoed by the governor, and passed
over the veto. The governor refused to fol-
low the legislature or further recognize its
proceedings as legal, and the free-state men,
who compose large majority of the settlers,
will set at defiance the edicts of the repre-
|sentatives chosen by voters from Missouri
They are organizing and drilling military
companies, and are coming to the wise de-
termination to defend themselves against
further outrages. We think the PEOPLE Of
to themselves, and to every throb of generous
sympathy for those who have gone there from
among us as pioneers in the cause of liberty,
10 see that they are efficiently protected and
upheld in this struggle. The government is
against them-the PEOPLE must interfere or
the little band of noble men and women
there are liable to be overwhelmed by num-
bers and crushed by their cowardly assailants.

A most horrible calamity occurred Sunday,
in the town of Brant, Erie CO., NY. About
II o'clock A. NJ. the inmates of the house of
James Thompson, a comfortable farmer, were
aroused by the alarm of fire. The house was
discovered to be in flames, having been fired
by an incendiary in three or four places
Old Mr.. Thompson, who was the first to
discover the fire, rushed up stairs TO alarm
his daughters but became overpowered and
could not return. His three daughters, Julia.
Mary. and Mrs. Elizabeth Carr, with the two
children of the latter, and old Mr.. Thomp-
son, perished in the flames. The inmates
were IL in number, and the rest escaped with
great difficulty There is no doubt of the
fire being the work of an incendiary, and

A little girl six years old, in New Hamp.
shire, was so charmed with couple of large
black snakes, while out hunting berries late
ly, that she could not hollo nor move from
the spot, but took one of them in her lap
and held it till it went to sleep, and then left
it. She paid daily visits to the place, and
fed the reptiles. When her parents discov-
cred what she was doing, they took one of
the snakes and put it in box, and she daily
feeds and fondles it. The disgusting exhibi-
ton is TO be sent about the country.

DEMOCRACY OR DIsUNIoN.--Georgia and
Louisiana have held state conventions and
declared that the success of the republican
movement in the north against the slave de-
mocracy, will be the signal for dissolution
of the Upion, and that the necessary steps
will be taken by those two states to secede
at once. The Washington Union calls this
good democratic doctrine. The Cleveland
Plaindealer warns the people against voting
the republican ticket, because it will lead to
dissolution of the Union.
Thus it seems that the people must have
slavery and the slave democracy thrust upon
them, or else be threa tened with dissolu-
ton Of the Union. The republican cause
will doubtless prevail, when the traitors can
raise the flag of disunion if they have any
anxiety to try that question before the people
A free State Convention of delegates from
all parts of Kansas, will be held at Lawrence
on the I'd Tuesday of August.
