AT the late annual meeting of the North Ohio.

ESTABLISHING THE CHURCH IL NICARAGUA
Colonel kinney has succeeded in carrying out his
pious intention, of establishing the Church in Mic
aragua. Services were opened at San Juan BY a
eolonred Methodist Episcopal clergyman, in his
own hotel, for want of church aceommodations.-
Governor Kinney was present at the first sermon,
ana the first hymn sung was "Jordan's stormy
banks" in which the singer is represented as east
ing"a wishful eye to Canan's fair and happy land
4 ~frstrate fllibustering hymn. The speaker also
drew a parallel between the expedition Of Col. Kin
nley to the rich lands of Nicaragua, and the expe-
diton OF Moses and the childred Of Israel TO the
fruitful lands Of Canaan. Under such pious OF mpt-
inSs, the Colonel's mission must prosper.

Judge Kane said Mr.. w. had a right to apply

Mr.. Meredith argued that Mr.. Williamson should

HOW THE SHAREHOLDERS LOOK AT IT.-The Macon

Passmore W~illiamson's name from the late canvass
in the following paragraph:
We are glad TO learn that another man has been

that has imprisonment by Judge Kane has been
worth a million Of dollars to tho trade of Phila.

What a fattering compliment to the Quaker
City! The Republican greatly overestimates the
value OF Judge kane's ~despotic act to the city vet
it is this mercenary consideration, how
ever small it really is, which keeps Philadelphia
quiet and secures their acquiescence
in this tyranny. The personal liberty of Penn.

SO WE FEAR.

The Cincinnati Gazette says there ia "yery little
of the Ganatical element elected to the legislature,
So probably we shall have no 'ianatical personal
liberty bill" According to the Gazette, in order
to defeat the Democrats at the next election, there
is to be no such protection afforded to personal
liberty as the times and the purposes of the pro.
slavery federal Government require. Fanaticism
with the Gazette, means the self-eyident principles
of abolitionism. All aboiitionists are in its ewes
fanatics. Wendell Philips said lately that no
man was good for anything as a reformer till he
was pronounced crazy. And he is right. And
the Republican party,aftcr all its promises to free.
dom will be good for nothing unless it shall do
Just those things which pro-slayery men and old
iogies cali fanatical.
Here is the Gazette's paragraph:
PRAcTTcAL LEGIsLArfoN.-Tho Democratic pa
pers OF Ohio do not bear the late defeat WE'LL
They are snappish and ill-natured. They call the
yictors bad names, and they predict u speedy over
throw OF the Republican party in the State, be-
cause OF the fanatical legislation it will carry cut.
We are glad that the opposition have begun thus
early to show their hand. The Republicans can
he advantaged by it. 1t is well, also, that the pre-
dictions of Republican "fanaticism" should be
plnced on the record, that we may hereafter decide
the relative merits of individuals in the Democrat
ic clan in their gifts of prophecy.
Nothing would so much delight the Democratic
seers as to have the Republican Legislature pass
q Maine Liquor Law-the more stringent the bet
ter-or n 'ianatical personal liberty BILL" Give
them these two measures, and they would 90 be-
