tSFWe have received number of the Madi-
son Democrat, with the leading article marked
doubtless by the writer to secure notice or re-
publication here. The article is dirty, black
guard, vile attack upon the personal character
of Charley Baymiller, the editor of the Ban
ner The author of the piece is disgrace to
his profession. We thought there was but
one community in the State which would pa
tiently submit to such displays of blackguard-
ism on the part of Democratic editor but it
appears there is yet another which has at least
to suffer- whether patiently or not such in
fictions. Mr.. Baymiller was at one time our
opponent here, and we will say this much of
him-that there was more of the gentleman
in him and his course than has marked any
other Democratic editor who has controlled a
paper here the last six years-and much more
of gentleman than we can possibly conceive
the editor of the Madison Democrat to be, after
reading his malicious and cowardly article on
the subject of Mr.. Baymiller.

OF The Louisville Democrat does not like
the contemplated American Convention to be
held in that city this month"; and to which all
the Ohio Valley creation have been invited,
and about half of which will try to attend.
Nobody expected it would like that gathering.
1t never liked the good old Wing gatherings.
But we suspect it might just as well take
things coolly. 1t may choose good many
lesser evils than this convention will be in its
eyes, but it is bound to bear the infiiction. The
Kentucky Americans are wide awake, and
their Indiana neighbors will show them there
are "a few more of the same sort'' left on this
side of the creek.

Adams Erpress Co.. Agency.

Messrs. Conyngton & Co., have been acting
as agents in this city for Adams & Co.'s Elk
press for long time, and discharged their
duties to the entire satisfaction of this commu-
nifty. They took the office on a mere nomil ii
salary anticipating that with the gradual in
crease of business it might eventually prove a
desirable Office. Butafter doing all the pioneer
work in a manner, for salary which did not
repay them for their trouble, they have been
suddenly removed, without reason, or with
out assignable complaint just as the office
was beginning to be worth something. Those
ofour citizens who have been transacting bust
ness through this agency, have been entinely
satisfied with the agents. They have been
prompt and faithful, and had individually done
much to advance the business of the Express
Co. The gentleman who has been appointed
to supercede them, is so far as we know, all
that an agent should be. We are not finding
any fault with his appointment if a change
had to be made, nor do we doubt his entire
-capability-but it is matter of concern with
our business men, that the old agents with
whom they had transacted business so salts
factorily, and who have the entire confidence of
the community, should have been removed
The charge made incidentally in a letter from
the General Agent at Cincinnati that the
agents here had been seeking to aVure the
business Of the company lately, is not only en-
tirely gratuitous, but as we are informed, en-
tirely false.
The advertisement of the new agency will be
found in another column. The new agent
will no doubt do his best to accommodate our
citizens, as well as promptly attend to the
business of the company. His advertisement
will tell where he can be found.

a MAN KILLED,-James Clark, who resided
in Harrison township was killed on last Satur-
day. by one Richard P. Hager, his brother-in-
law. From Hager's own statement Gas yet
there is no other positive evidence) it seems
that difficulty arose between them in the
field q short distance from the house; that Clark
drew knife, and that Hager, in self defence
struck him with pitchfork which killed him
almost instantly. This statement did not
hold cut very WE'LL however for on examining,
the Coroner's jury decided that several blows
had been inflicted, and that one prong of che
fork had been thrust into his head Hager

OF The Democrat says that multitudes of
tenements in this city are vacant, and, that
rents have greatly deprecated. There is no
truth at all in this We hear the Democrats
landlord say two or three days ago that he
has twenty-six tenements in the city, that
they were all occupied, that inquiries for houses
are made of him daily, and that his rents have
not gone down a single half-dlme upon any

LUcRErIA MorT.-A correspondent of the
State Journal denies that Lucretia Mott, a
talented lady who is figuring extensively but
nodestly at the Woman's Rights Convention,
is Quakeress. The correspondent'says:
Permit me to state in behalf of the Quakers,
most especially in behalf ofthe women of that
society, that Lucretia Mott is not Quaker
She has not belonged to the society of Friends
for number of years. having come out from
us, because she was not of us. No one who
speaks disrespectfully Of the Holy Scriptures,
or the marriage covenant is Quaker. The
mere garb of a disciple does not make dis
cipleship.
The Quakers do not permit any of their peo-
pie to occupy the public position Lucretia
Mott is filling at the present time, much less
as an advocate of such doctrines as she is
maintaining.

The be,t platfor.n for the Union.

Gen. James Bell. of Afkansas-brother to
Col. Yell, who fought ard died so gloriously at
Buena Yista-has for many years been one of
leading pillars of the dominant party in that
State. The New Orleans Crescent says ofhim
that he never fiinched in his fealty to his par
ty, as long as there was anything like princi-
pie to fight for; and that he could have enjoy
ed any Office within the gift his party, had
he desired it. Recently he was invited to adj
dress a convention of the so called Democra-
tic party, at Camden. We copy one or two
paragraphs from his reply to the committee Of
invitation, which must have the effct upon the
Convention of a wet blanket being thrown
around them:
accept the thanks of heart warmly and
keenly alive with gratitude for the compliment
tary terms in which you allude to the services
have rendered the democratic party in years
that have gone by. [ am happy to know that
the great principles for which then contended
have all been settled by the country, as | so
much desired.
You state in your letter. that you believe
am zone ever ready to battle in the cause of
Democracy, under any and jail circumstances
the platform of the so-called great American
party to the contrary, notwithstanding. If you
mean by this that am always ready to battle
under the bare name of Democracy, without re-
gard to principles, or when there are no great
principles involved under the name, you are
wrong. If however, you mean that am always
willing to do battle for such principles as were
once advocated under the Democratic banner
when contending against the Wing party, you
are right.
But all those old issues are now settled
And, ifthose parties only existed upon princi-
pies isl both parties eontended they did the
question being settled, they no longer exist as
parties"
After speaking of the platforms the differ
ent parties, and the duty of every good man
to array himself upon the one best adapted to
the safety and welfare sof his country, he
says:
he isnoao the best Democrat aclso stands upon
the best platform for the saior Of the States That
in my opinion, is the great American platform
When new parties are formed the party in
power, by the ascendancy, holds the popular
name, but the bare name will not answer their
purposes long, when the people find they have
no principles to sustain the name.

From the london Ahu slavery: Advocate.
MR. PILLSBURY IN LIVERPOOL.

On Friday evening the llth May, Parker Pills
bury Esq. met number of ladies at the house Of
the Rev. Francis Bishop Liverpool, to explain the
position and character of the an,i.savery cause in
America. In a quiet but deeply earnest address
of some length. Mr. Pillsbury went down to the
root of the question, cXpounding the philosophy OF
the antslayery movement in the United States, in
such a way as to give his hearers clear conipre-
hension of the nature of THE WORK to be done;
and the singleness of purpose, the deep faith in
God, and the undivided allegiance to truth and
humanity indispensably required at the hands of
those who would aspire to do it. 1t was cause
that scared far above all the sitting expediences
and evervarng schemes Of worldly and selfish
pOlti clans. 1t was too sacred to be made the
tool Of sect or party 1t was worldwide in its
sympathes, uncompromisngy catholic in its spir
it, holy in its objects and it could be promoted
only by moral and religious means. 1t appeals
to mems hearts and consciences, on the ground OF
the essential and inherent sinfulness of slavery.
wherever and by whomsoever practised The men
who carried forward such cause in such spirit
must mako up their minds to be denounced as
nfdels and disorganize-s. Such had been the fate
of reformers of moral wrong in oil ages but if
abolitonists-were true to their position, God would
prosper their work, and prosperity would bless
their memories. The names OF Garrison and Phil
lips and Parker would be held in the highest rev.
erence, when those of Moses Stuart, Orville Dewey,
and Nehemiah Adams would be utterly forgotten,
or remembered only to be execrated.
Mr. Pillsburys address was followed by general
conversation, and it was ultimately resolved to
form Ladies' Anti-Slayery Society for Liverpool
and the neghborhood, and to meet again that day
fortnight, when it was hoped Mr.. Pillsbury would
again be present. 1t was an interesting feature in
the meeting that two admirable portraits of Theo-
dore Parker and Wendell Phillips, which had just
arrived from America, adorned the walls of the
room, forming an additional link binding the little
gathering to the true and nobly band Of abolition.
lists on the other side of the Atlantic.
Bsdes these meetings, Mr., Pilsbury attended
social anti slavery meeting in Liverpool, two in
Manchester and one in Warrington, since our last
report.
