The ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF Lofts
NAPoLEos.-The Cleveland Herald has re
ceived by telegraph. the following account of
the attempt upon the life Of the French En-
peror:
The Emperor had a narrow escape from as
sassination on the evening of the 28th ult,
while on his way to join the Empress in their
usual ride in the Champ d'Elysee. The En-
psror was accompanied by two officers of his
household. and when near the Barriere De
Etole, he was approached by q well dressed
man with an action intimating a desire to pre-
sent petition. He had advanced to within
five or six PAGES Of the Emperor. who had not
observed him: when he was discovered by a
policeman. who, thinking it was his intention
to present some document to the Emperor, ad
vanced quietly to inform him that such an act
was prohibited. AS the policeman was pro-
ceeding towards the man, a cart was rapidly
driven between them, and in the interval the
individual had drawn a pistol. and aiming
poin. plank at the Emperor, discharged both
barrels without effect. He was seized by the
policeman, but not until he had drawn another,
and made second attempt to shoot. 1t is

The PERSONAL LIBERTY B1LL.-A bill en-
titled an "act to protect the rights and liber-
ties Of the people of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. recently passed the legsla-
ture of that State, by unprecedented MAORI
ties. TWAS subsequently vetoed by the Gov
ernor, and returne1 TO the Legislature. 1t re-
passed the Senate by vote of 80 to 3. and
the House by vote of more than } to L.
This law, we understand its provisions,
prevents the State Judiciary from taking cogn-
zance of slave cases, and refuses the use oi
the jails Of the commonwealth to confne fu-
gitive slaves. under heavy penalties. 1t Sc

Furnishes by fine and imprisonment all those
who shall be instrumental in transmitting a
freeman into slave. whether by sending into
slavery any man who has always been free,
or by returning one who has escaped either to
a person other than a slave master from whom
he escaped, or to any one to whom his ser
vice or labor is not due and to enable the
alledged slave who is injured by such unjust
rendition, to recover damages therefor. 1t
prohibits all Massachusetts, officials from act
ing at all for the return of alledged slaves.
These provisions are to be enforced under
the severest penalties. This law is far be
yond any thing which has ever been enacted
in the north, and will be regarded as fanati-
cal by our southern neighbors. 1t will doubt
less be denounced as reasonable by thsn, and
rs great outrage upon the constitution. All
must regret the necessity of such law; but
we advise all who are disposed to condemn it,
to look at the course of the south in regard TO
citizens of free States. Ii citizen of New
York, who is negro, should visit South Car
DINA on pleasure or business he would not be
simply subjected TO fine or Imprisonment,
but he would be liable to be sold into slavery.

1T is a notorious fact that Mt the late Octo-

lies were imported from Louisville, KY, into
New Albany. who shamefully beat and bruised
citizens of that place with brass knuckles and
prevented many legal voters from exercising
the right of suffrage. and that by these infs-

tanned. "-Jsfrsoaian.

they were used to prevent legal voters from

The member may himself have had them to
attack his political opponents. We have seen
no evidence Of the ''outrages" spoken of at
New Albany. by our nsighbor. but on the
contrary the Judges of that election have
come out IN cards and positively denied that
voters were kept away from the polls by lin
ported oullies or mob violence of any kind,
and hence We attribute the charge to the excit-
ed brain of our soc nix friends, who, in the late
election, endeavored to hide the cause of the
overwhelming defeat which befel them, by
charging that foul means were resorted to-

"The Kanzas Howl,

We ask attention to the following crazy ar
tcle from the Charleston Is. O. Mercury:
THE kANzAs HowL.-Never, since the
world began among the demands in Mil
ton IS BLACK abyss" or the damned in Dan
te' S Inferno, has there been heard such howl
as is now sent up all over the North, by the
dogs Of fanatlcism, upon their recent drubbing
in hanzas. The abolition journals pour out
daily diatribes against the hardy Missourians,
who drove away from their doors the horde of
negro stealers that threatened to overwhelm
them Now really, the whole affair is deci-
dedly "the best joke of the season" Bent
upon ousting slavery from this fertile region
by any and all means-not willing that civil
lization should flow in its ma. ural course. and
determine by natural laws its institutions, but
Fastening to fill it up with hireling fanatics,
seize the polls and control the government
the aboltionists find themselves beaten
routed at their own game-their own emi.sa-
ries made to vote the slavery ticket, while the
triumphant Missourians march back TO indie
pendence with colors dying and bands Of mu-
sic, rejoicing that kansas is safer' No won
der that they now howl and rend their gar
ments, for fanaticism has for once met its
master and crouched. 1t is signal and time
ly lesson. Had the south in its past contests
exhibited but half the courage and prompt
ness Of Atchison and his true men, Abolition
would have long since become harmless
thing. 1t is also timely lesson TO the North,
yet which will be scarcely needed in its pres
ent fierce and aggressive mood, that there is a
point at which the South will rise, and wipe
out, with deeds worthy of her hope and des-
tiny, the wrongs and shames OF the past
We have not clipped the above for the pur-
pose of remark. 1t is beneath that. The
reader will recollect that the Charleston Mer-
curry is no picayune paper. but the leading or
gan of the ultra South-long the mouth piece
Of JoHN c. CALHOUN. 1t speaks the senti-
ments Of -a.Hy southern aristocrats. The
editor says there is point at which the South
fciN rise. and acipe out. with deeds. DC. Well,
Mr.. Mercury. you will have good time in
the rising up; and the setting dozen which you
may have TO take may not be so pleasant.
We insert the above to let the people Of the
North know what is said about them bv
southern fanatics nothing else.

One Grand Discovery soc nix neigh
Dor has made the grand discovery as he thinks,
that Gen. Atchson and his ruffian associates,
well our humble self. are members of
the same political secret association. To make
such discovery, our neighbor must have in
voked the aid of spirits divine or the spirits
of Wine" for surely no common powers of
sagacity would have made such discovery.
We incline to think the latter kind of spirits
must have inspired our neighbor. for it is all
in his Imagination, which must have been in
one of its widest vagaries, when he thought
of such thing. We have no afnities, either
secret or public with Mr.. Atchison. He may
be soc nix or he may be a Know Nothing,
for aught that we know-not hAla"5'"s to
eithar Of them. we cannot say. lie always
has been the political associate of our soc nix
neighbor.

state Premium List.

We published in the last and present mum
bers of our paper the List Of Premiums TO be
awarded at the next State Fair. No other
paper in the State, that we have noticed, has
gone TO the expense of doingit. Our object
has been to give it as extensive circulation
as possible It is a liberal hist, far more so
than anE heretofore offered. and it IS to be
hoped our agricultural and mechanical friends
will give It their attention. Almost every i'm
m imaginable branch of domestic industry is no.
ticed; and from the Discretionary authority
given to the committee on Miscellaneous arti-
cles. every article, possessing merit, will be
awarded a premium. The wealth OF our
State is to be found in the productions Of her
fertile soil and her workshops. and such an
exhibition as should be made. and which can
be made under this list of premiums, would
give the highest and best evidence of the sub
santial ability of our State. We ask the
friends Of Indiana TO make the next Sta.e
Fair an exhibition of what be done by
her enterprsing farmers and skillful mechan-
les.
We invite especial attention to the list of
premiums to be awarded to girls under Is
years of age 1t will prove a beautiful fea-
ture in the exhibition. Next year We trust a
similar list will be made out for the boys.
