ATRooIoUs MURDER IN ILIINo1s.-l

ATRocIoUs MURDER IN ILLINoIs.-A
day or two since we gave an account of a
supposed murder committed at Kankakee,
in this State. Since then we have learned
further particulars, with an account of the
discovery of the murderers, from John P.
Waddock, Esq, by whose exertions the
murderers were discovered. The murder
ed man was mulatto, and the murderers
three young men belonging to some of the
Oldest and most respectable families in the
county of Kankakee, and negro. 1t ap-
pears that Nicholas Simmons and another
young man named Stratton, on Friday
week last, purchased the property of the
mulatto, whose name we could not learn;
it consisted Of a small farm. They paid
him $3.50 for the property, and shortly af.
ter paying him followed him out on the
prairie, and basely and cruelty took his
life and robbed him of the money Just paid
to him. They then returned to his house
and informed his wife that they had pur-
chased her husbands property, and that
he had started for Michigan, On the way
to Canada. After tea they took with them
q young man named Sloan, and a negro
named Green Wilson, and went out to
where the body was lying, put it into the
wagon, and taking it to the Iroquois river
filled bag with saud, and fastening tho
bag to the body of the victim, cast it into
the river. In a few days, however, on
account of the heat of the weather proba-
bly,, the body partially rose to the surface.
and was washed to the shore, 1t was dis
covered in this situation by a boy who
was in the habit of driving some cattle to
water in this part of the river. On the
day Of the discovery he noticed that ami
mails refused to 60 near the water, and on
going to the bank himself to discover the
reason, he was shocked by seeing the body.
The young man Stratton, who has wife
and child, has confessed his guilt, and i'm
plicated the three others. Simmons as
aiding him in taking the mans life, and
Green Wilson and Sloan as accessories af-
ter the Chicago Democrat.

The Office Seekers.

The Democratic State Ticket now be-
fore the people is made up mostly OF the
present occupants of the State Offices, who
want to be elected again. More than half
the number, viz: Gov. Medill, Auditor
Morgan, Treasurer Breslin, Secretary
Trevitt, and Steadman of the Board of
Public Works, were on the State ticket
and elected to Office in 1851, Been in
office ever since the organization of our
State government-undcr the present con-
stitution-and now want to be elected
again. These Democratic ofice-holders
and office-bunterS, certainly have one quail
ity well developed-they stick aceN to office.

One Of the Governors Claims.

In his speech in this city, last Saturday,
Gov Medill said many people thought
that we in Ohio are indebted for our free
dom from Slavery to the Jeffersonian ordi-
nance of 1887. But he would correct their
mistake. "When in the late Constitution
al Convention of Ohio in 1850, he, Gov
Medill, labored in committee, and in the
Convention, and succeeded in having en-
grated into the new Constitution clause
by which Slavery and involuntary servi-
tude, except for punishment of crimes"
should forever be prohibited in this State
To this clause in the Constitution are the
people Of Ohio now indebted for their free
dom from Slavery" To besure, the Gov.
in a previous part of his speech had CIV
en- the Irish and Dutch credit for making
Ohio free State. But second thought
reminded him of his own arduous labors
in the Convention! Oh indomitable Gov
ernor! Oh hard-working Medill! Oh
thou anti-Slavery man ! Thou lover of
Liberty Sizty-three years after Jeffer-
son had secured it-forty-eight years after
free people had used it-thou good man,
kind Governor, secured to Ohio an anti
slavery Constitution Bravo!

Hold the President Responsible.

1t appears from the newspapers, that for
some time past, companies of men have
been organizing and equippiug in Texas
and marching into the adjoining States OF
Mexico, for the purpose of revolutionizing
the government, and for 6llibustering gen.
orally. There are several things worthy
of note upon these facts
lSt The fllibusteriDg spirit practically
working--a fit scheme Of the Slaveocracy
to extend their domain and power.
I'd. The determination of southern peo.
pie to conquer more territory for the pur-
pose Of extending the area of Slavery,
aud thereby securing additional slaveocrat-
10 influence in our national government.
Sd. The apathy with which the nation
al administration observes this infringe
ment Of our neutrality laws, with the weak
power Of Mexico, for the con9uering of
three or four States, while prOclamatious
quickly issued when it was expected that
the fllibusteriug scheme against the SIN
gle Island of Cuba, would involve US in
war with the governments of Spain, France
and England.
4th. These Mexican States are inbabi-
sod by poor, degraded, ignorant people,

THE AMERICAN PARTY IN TENNESSEE
Whilst the Anti Americans are growing
very loudly over the result in Tennessee,
it would be we'll if they would let the
world know what cause Of graduation they
can find in the result. When Merdith P
Gentry received the nomination, of the
American party at Nashville, the Order
was not over $4,000 stroug in the State
Three months ago the American party in
Tennessee would have been defeated by
twenty thousand votes. In that short
space Of time, they have added over three
thousand per week to their numeral
strength, and had this election been post
poned two weeks longer they would have
carried the State by larger majority than
it has gone against us. To day the Amer.
can order is strong enough to elect its can
didate, if the Americans will only prove
true to themselves, at the next election in
1856 it will be hard matter to find the
man who will acknowledge that he Tough,
against us in 1855.

DEMocRATIc DEMONSTRATION IN STEU

De MocRATIc DEMONSTRATION IN STEU-
BENvILLE.-Gov. MEDILL, PuGH AND
TAYLOR ON HAND-THE UNION AGAIN
SAVED BY TIMELY INTERPosITIoN.
According to expectation, the above
troupe descended upon our quiet city on
Saturday morning last, at about ten and a
half o'clock, at full rail road speed. Great
had been the efforts put forth for weeks
preceding the day OF their arrival, to Sc
cure for them an audience of large dimen.
siOns. The day came, and the speakers
came, but the masses of the people came
not. Still, the speeches mustbe delivered,
and we are glad they uere delivered. So
far as We are capable of judging, about
onc.half of the hearers, were members of
Sans family; and the other half were
bunker ofhce-seekers, Irish, and Dutch
Catholics, and quite sprinkle Of boys,
Gov. Medill first took the stand. He said
she was blamed by the people of Ohio for
the heavy taxes by which they were bur.
thened, 1t was an unjust charge-had
nothing to do with levying the taxes
the legislature, and the local authorities
were alone responsible in this department
of State policy" The Governor then
proceeded to the main object of his visit
to our city-the complete overthrow Of
Sam, and the consequent salvation of this
GLORIOUS Union" "The object of the
Know Nothings was to divide the Union,
and to establish q Northern Republic.
Their principles were at war with the Fed
eral Government" This he proved by as.
serting that Joshua r, Giddipgs would not
vote for Mr.. Brinkerhof, who was a Know
Nothing for Governor Of Ohio, for the
reason that said Brinkerhoff was Third
Degree member of the Order, and as such,
sworn to protect the Constitution of The
United States, and the Union" The
Governors logic did not appear to be very
clear at this point. "He was in favor of
freedom for all men, whether black or
white, Thought a white man nearly as
gool nc nigrer. The Americans Of Ohio
True American. [volume] (Steubenville [Ohio]) 1855-1861, 1855-09-05

arc MueDteu W tne 1Tlsn Unu Outcn IOr-
eigners, for all the freedom they enjoy in
the State the foreigners were the pio-
neers who first came to the North Western
territory, cleared out and titled the soil,
and erected our Aourishing towns and cit,
les lit was through them that Ohio was
made great and free State" The Gov.
must at this time have confined his thoughts
exclusively to Fairfield cOunty,-if indeed
the statement is applicable to that county,
iva thought the remark inapplicable to
every other portion of the State but he
is the Governor, and of course knows.
He then proceeded to :ell us of the out
RACES of the Missourians upon the people
of Kansas. "The mob was headed by
Know NOthings, they laid their plans in
secret councils, and carried them out by
the agency Of Atchison and StringfellOw.
Query How does it cCme to pass, that
men like Atchison and StringfellOw, la
boring to support tOttering administra-
ton, the avowed object Of which is to put
down the American party, should lead in
to Kansas a troupe of Know Nothings,
for the purpose of sustaining the admins
tration in its attempt to crush freedom in
the territory?
Major Pugh was next introduced to the
audience. We heard but few sentences
from this orator, as we were necessarily
called away we learn however with pleas
ure, that he likewise, in the benevolence
of his soul, saved this GLORIOUS Union"
His harrangue consisted in TRADE of
blackguardism and SANDER against the
American party; charging them with all
the riots and murder which have disgraced
the country for years past. There was
neither truth, reason, or common sense in
anything he delivered.
In the evening, We are informed, the
audience were bored, in the Court House,
by little man named Taylor. His speech
also consisted in TRADE of hard names
and soft arguments against the Know Moth
ings. Still he was mindful of this "glo-
rious Union," and by the putting forth Of
all bis gigantic powers, he again saved it
from dissolution. Thus it is, that no less
than three times in one half day, in the
city of Steubenville, by the disinterested
labors of Col. Medill & Co., has this "glo-
rious Union been saved.
Personally we entertain fer Gov. Medill
a high degree of respect, but he is con-
nected with party which is pro-slavery
to the core, and if he was our natural-bon
brother, we would by all fair and honora-
BILE means oppose his reelection to the
Gubernatoral Chair of Ohio. With the
men who accompanied him we have no
personal acquaintance, but if their conduct
on the stump is fair specimen of their
private character, we are of opinion that
their kindred element would be that of
some low doggery, rather than the COM
panionship of the Governor of Ohio.

Our CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE oE THE

is so well, and so favorably known in this
judicial district, that it is only necessary
for American Republicans to know that
he is on the track, to secure their undivi
we'd support. OF his opponent for the po-

however of the fact, that the General will
