LYNCHING OF MR.. PARK.
HOUSE-BURNING AND BLOODsHEDN

From the st. Louis Democrat of May
5th we make the following SUMMARY
Of events:
On the first CT May, there was large
meeting of Pro and Anti. slavery mon,
near Fort Leavenworth. The meeting
was characterized by much confusion,
pickering and rage, between the two
parties. A vote being taken on some
question, by ordering the ayes TO step to
one side OF the house, and the nays to
the other.
Malcolm Clark, prominent leader Of
the Pro.slavery party, cried out, 1--WE
have majority" to which lawyer ma,
med M'Crea, leader Of the Anti. sla
very party, replied, "it is lie." CLARK
advanced and struck him with club
As soon as M'Crea recovered from the
stun, he drew a revolver, shot Clark
killing him instantly. The friends Of
Clark then rushed on M'Crea but ns
fed, was shot at several times, but Nil
friends took him in charge, placed him

institutions and government. We have
not been slow 10 engage in every contcsI
in which we considered the rights or in
te,ests Of tho people put TO hazard, but
we arc not among the number, that can
by any process Of pnr'y machinery, be
forced TO change our opinions with every
shift Of party tactics, made by corporals
and drill majors.
We have attacked the position and
acts OF our neighbors and friends, when
we saw them supporting an odions land
monopoly, ond taking from the wages Of
labor its Just rcwaIh, and made them
our enemies, so that they spprn US or
tho street and in public places. Polli.
cal ties and associations are no. so
strong as social ties, yet they may all
be snapped and broken. before we will
consent, to approve and advocate anti.
Democratic doctrines. Among the above
list Of candidates there are some men
who cannot be pres5,d into tho service
Of the Know Nolbinys.
Many years ago S. p. Chase took his
position on an elevated promontary, con.
tent to await the rising Of the wa.crs.-
He now occupies a vantage ground,
which many of the politicians OF the
country would be glad to possess. He
has never been factionis. but eminent.
ly national in his views, and in his con.
duct, as leading member OF the United
States Senate. He is the last man in
Ohio that the Know Nothings can con
troll, so they had better leave him out of
their calculations. y
