FANATICISM RUNNING RIOT.

Petitions were circulating in New York for sigma
lures praying the Legislature OF that State 10 pass
laws against the OF tobacco and strong tea. The
vegetarans, too, contemplated peitionpg the Legs
lature for law against the further OF meat. In
the present age 1t is impossible 10 tell what eX-
tremes may not be reached by legislation. Indeed,
sometimes inclined TO think our whole govern
ment bnt great ylurp, where the keep
crazy as the inmates.
When Connecticut passed her stringent laws rea-
tatve strict observance Of the Sabbath, she
committed an act which done more 10 destroy rev
erence for that day than anything else. When Mas
sachusetts enacted laws for the punishment OF witch
craft and brought to the stake hundreds OF innocent
persons under pretence that they were practising lt
she assumed that to exist which had existence !;
and the consequence was, Teyulsion in public opID-
ion, which consigned the alders and abetIors in this
persecution TO eternal infamy. And so il has been
and will be, until by strong and powerful conbina
ion the really good in community set their face a
gainst the lanatcIsm OF the present age. Religion
is made mockery-Chrstianity is turned into "a
business TRANSACTIONS and the secialtes OF lite en-
bttered by the cool and deliberate hypocrisy of men
VITO have clothed themselves in the 'livery of hea-
10 serve the devil n''
The people of the United States talk as hnently a.
bout the progress OF the present aye school boy
talks about his LESSON bu il is a truth, the times
clearly Indicate, that we are but TetrOgrading and
going back 10 the dark ages, when fanaticiSm and
superstition serum riot, in the world. And whe rs TO
blame in all this work Let any man 60 to the
temples dedicated 10 the worship of the living God,
and there the pulpit turned INTO the political
rum and be who should preach the Gospel lecturing
poiitcs-see the legislator basey catering TO the
fanatical notions of set of fools, and passing laws
both inIqutous and uniustso 10 the courts and see
the Judges who should administer the laws IN truth
and justice, wheedllng, twisting and turning 10 meet
this that popular clamor, and then tell US who is
TO blame! The time has come when all this must
cease and the sancnonious whining OF the hypocrite
be powerless in influencing pnblic opinion, the
assumed whine of the beggar is in procuring penny.
We know some men who have made their BEANS
in this humiiatng transaction. Let them make the
most of It. When they get another chance the peo-
pie Will be bigger OF tools than take them 10

e From reliable information in possession,
have TO believe that nearly all the Demo
Gratis in Bedford County who joined the Know Moth

Democratic Line, in days of old. They were
grossly deceired and, like honorable men, willing
To admit the fact. The best of men may err, but
of pure morals will never adhere TO after he

earnest and it affords pleasure 10 find some of our
old and substantial friends who left last fall,

Party will rejoice 10 meet all such men on common

ways heretofore acted with the Wings believing that

unwilling 10 be sold to a midnight conspiracy like

Great Excitement.

We are indebted to passengers on the Missouri
river packets down, last evening, for the follow
ING account Of homicide al L-avenworth City,
which has created the most intense excitement
in and around that town. il seems that there
was meeting of squatteFs and citizens OF the
town and neighborhood generally, IN LeaveD-
worth City. on Monday last, g0i together for
the purpose OF making a public demonstration
ol opinion with regard TO the claims OF the
squatters, the election, the slavery agitation,
and other prominent questions agitatrd IN that
section There was large attendance OF both
pro-savery and antl-slavpry men, and the mee-
ting was characterized by nproariousnpss, hick-
prng, confusion and ehulhions OF aEimoSliy
between the two factions.-
A question, among others, was PIT to vote by
the Chairman, and the vote being close, dlvs-
ion was called by ordering the ayes 10 side
ofthe house and the noes TO the other. Malcolm
Clark, prominent politician ot the pro-Slavery
faction, and a large owner Of or a squattrr on
land in and about the town, cried out, 1--WE
have the Majority 10 which lawyer named
McCrea, leader or the Frrsoil faction, answer
ed, ''It'sa lie - whrreupon Clark advanced upon
him and struck him with a club, which would
have fallen him had he not been prevented by
staggering against the wall. As soon as h.
recovered from, the stun, McCrfa drew revol-
aud shot CLARK, killing him instantly.
McCrea then fed, hoiIy pursued by number
of Clark's frieuds, who fred several shots at
him, none Of which, however, took effect. He
ran to thu river, and sought shelter behind the
bank, which was abrupt and high, whence bis
friends took him in their protection, removed
him to the fort. two miles distant, and delivered
him 10 the military authorities, who locked him
mp in the guard-housr
Great excitement ensupd. Threats Of mob
violence aud lynch law were circulated, but no
unlawful demonstrations made. A petition was
gotten mp hv the mob, and signed by three
four hundred names, requesting the officers in
command at the fort TO give up the prisoner,
promising to give him the benefit Of impartial
tial by jury. The petition was not accrd"d
to, and the prisoner was still confined in the
guard-hou>p at the time our nformants left.
A handbll was printed and circulated all
over the country, up and down the river, call
ing npon all pro-slavrry men, all !rur friends OF
the South, and Of slavery IN Kansas, 10 meet
Thursday at Lrvenworth City, to take INTO
consideration the aspect of affairs, and to adopt
measures of proceeding in the present crisis
