who Is ON the side orFrcehom


IaVery State in our country, in every
city, town and hamlet, Of the United States,
this question must be answered by every
voter, more than once before the close ol
the next Presidential Campaign. The
question to be decided is, whether the vast
and Increasing power of our national scV.
ernment shall be pledged to the extension
and defence of slavery. The people are tc
say whether the flag OF the Republic has
been justly described as
''The fu.tan flag that proudly waves
In splendid mOckery oe'r land Of slaves. 4"
There is no possibility of svading the is.
sue before US. The South is determined,
BY fair means or foul, TO make one or more
slave States out Of the territory they have
stolen from freedom, and to demand their
admission into the Union. Were il not for
old party attachments and preiudicss. there
would be no difficulty in srrsying the North
10 an unbroken column on the side Of free
dom. The veriest doughfacs the North
can produce, will say be is opposed to the
further extension Of Slavery, under the pro-
lection Of the government. But, still Ike
the redoubtable editor Of the Democrat, be
will support the men and the measures
that ensure this extension.
Who then is on the side Of Freedom .
We answer, None but those who can for
sake fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters,
in old party connexions for Freedoms sake.
He who votes with any party which calls
itself National and expects votes from the
South, is on the side of slavery; because
the South in one unbroken mass will 20
with unerring certainty for that party and
that party only, which will carry the black
flag in their fore front.
The South have said in all their recent
elections that the party for them is the Old
Line Democracy. They say it is "tks nat
urOl ally Of Slavery" The Wings and
Know NOthings in the South, are all going
in body for that party, because they are
sure Of its devotion to the interests of Sla-
very. Every man therefore who supports
Old Line Democracy, is the enemy of Free
dom. His vote adds to the burdens flop
preston and binds the chains of the Slaves.
There is but one course for every honest
lover Ofliberty-it is to ind ont that party
which has no allies in the South, and 90
With it.

A correspondent Of the Milwaukee Ssnti,
mel gives the following description of the
great Black Swamp Of Ohio:
Imagine all the swamps in Wisconsin
eonglomsrated into one, with all the forests,
great and small throughout the length and
breadth of that State mingled into one vast
swamp, and doubt whether it would com
pare for moment with The Black Swamp.
IL reaches from Lake Erie to the head wa
ters Of the Wabash, the Msumee, aRd the
ST. Mary, distance of $50 miles, and its
average width is over 80 miles, embracing
over 100000 acres of the richest land
the sun ever shown upon. Portions OF this
vast swamp have been subdued by the
hardy pioneer, who has Yentured TO- pene-
trsts its unbroken forests, and the land cul-
tiVated by the perseyering husbandmsn, if
health is spared, returns rich reward for
bis tolls in overfowing granaries, and
bountiful hsrvests. The soil is deep black
loan, and is well adapted to corn, oats, aud
grasses, and the timber is the finest ever
saw. Hickory, Elm. White Ash. and Black
Walnut, ell seem to vie with each other in
their vain efforts to reach the skies; still all
of them exhibit commendable enterprise

INC Shooting nt CoIumbus.

The Journal of last evening gives the
particulars of the shooting by the "Turn-
ers." A boy of IS, on Town street, threw
a stone and hit one of the company. A
Turner" threw a stone back, and the boy
followed up 10 High street and the landlord
of the United States Hotel seized him when
picking up another stone, and with another
man forcibly carried the boy across the
street, and while doing so was attacked
with stones by the Turner's" who broke
ranks and commenced stoning indiscrimin-
ately the spectators in the streets, breaking
the windows of the United States Hotel,
and driving the ladies from them. A few
citizens then took up stones to repel the at
tack, and then the turner's" drew their re-
yoIvers and fred some thirty shots. Hen
ry Foster was shot through the lungs, and
died 10 three-fourths Of an hour. Many
Others were wounded eas eds

The ". o. Picayuns publishes a letter
dated Tampico. June Z, 1855, which con
tains the following:
Revolutionary movements are the or
der of the day throughout the Republic,
and on the first day Of the present month

preaching moment Of the total cessation Of

The Lake superior Country.

The Lake Superior Journal says that
section of country is great in mineral re-
scourses. The Journal, speaking of the
public land says:
$50 far flom its being productive in its
mineral wealth alone, it is that the receipts
of those who have devoted themselves to
farming have been much greater in prOpor-
ton to their investment than the mines
One person who cleared l6 acres and put it
into oats, potatoes, turnips, DC, at an ex-
pense Of about $500, realized from the same
over $250o in the first year and the same
during The next. Where can there be
greater encouragement for farmers, their
land, their expense Of clearing and all more
than paid by the products of the first year" !"

DOdging the Question.


The course to be pursued By the Repub

oughly understood. To secure union o

ton, knowing that success is depending up
on such result, and without it their de.

Their only course is to draw of the atten-
ton of the people from that point. and fix
it upon something less repulsive. This
should be clearly understood, and no issues
taken which have for their object any such

that when any party, have SO demean-

The people Of Sandusky county have not

coming more and more apparent The
election frauds in Kansas, than which none
were ever more base, are justly chargs5le
to the perpetrators of that act. And were
they possessed of manliness worthy of
decent respect, they would not fear to
make a manly defense. Every subter-

be elected, instead of trickery aud intrigue

things. We had tolerably striking evidence
last year, that the people of Ohio and the
entire Free North very clearly understood
this distinction. We are equally confident
that they will remember it in Ohio, on the
second Tuesday of October. We are not

that the case requires.-O. S. Journal.

Important Move.

A Kansas correspondent of the New
York Daily Times says that plans are on
foot to colonise Missouri with Eastern Free
Soilers, and make an effort TO abolish 5la-
very there, as an offset to the lawless inVa-
sion Of Kansss by The MiSsourians. The an
nouncement of the fact, however, is very
likely to prevent its success BY stirring up
an opposition ia Missouri The mere sug'
gestion of such plan being conceived shows
the danger Of the examples set By The Mis-,
sourisns.
