RIOT.

Some fifteen, or twentyladies of Sharon
q few days ago, made sad hovoc in the
prospects of an old soldier in the
of King Alchohol. 1t seems that, in the
village of Sharon, an old man kept the
red eye for sale, and was not over scrupu-
lous to whom he sold, but let it "ficker',
when ever the half dimes were forked over.
This course of procedure being not in ac-
cordance with the law in such cases made
and provided, and that not being enforced
by the citizens o fthe place, the ladies cen-
cluded TO take it into their own hands. and
acted accordingly, and destroyed the
iYhole.
The old man has been here to seek YEN
geanee in the law. but how he will sue
ceed, or who will give him aid and CON-
fort is hard to say, but this we will premise,
that when the old man undertakes to pros
eeute the ladies in a case of that kind, he
will find that
aJorlan am a hard road to trabble.''

WASHINGTON, March q. 1856.

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1856.
The Kansas questionhas been laid upon
the shelf for a time, by the adoption of MIR.
Dunn's resolution appointing a commits
sion to proceed TO the territory to inves-
tigate the matter Of dispute between Mes
SIS Whitfield and Reeder; and its to be
hoped that the vexed question is now in
a fair way for q permanent, ifnot a speedy,
adjustment. The commission will consist
of three members Of Congress, who will
have full power in the premises and whose
duty it will be to travel through the ter
.ritory and collect all the facts in the ease.
\ more onerous and thankless duty never
fell to the lot of a committee of the House,
but there should be no shrinking or dod-
ging now The people have been long
enough harassed with the Kansas trouble,
and it is their right to demand that all
the causes which have led to the unhappy
differences shall be properly investigated
and measures taken for their removal.
The Committe will not be ready to report
until late in the session.
The question of a revision ofthe Tariff
will be agitated in a few weeks.
We are enjoying beautiful weather, and
the work upon the public buildings, so
long delayed by the protracted cold term
has been resumed.

neither see nor acknowledge anything but

neither see nor acknowledge anything but
evil in that portion of our country south
of q certain line. 1t has other criterions
than geographical position by which to
determine good and bad. II does not
propose to make the North the conscience
keeper Of the South, or to "awaken the
scared conscienees of political prostitutes
in one section of the Union to a tender
sensibility about the moral condition of
the other" and thus find a pretext for
intermedling with that which according TO
the Constitution and common sense is
none of their business. 1t does not make
sectional selfshness, the waging of war
against a portion of our country, the stir
ing up of strife and discord among the
States, necessary qualifications for Office.
1t does not lose its identity by allyins
itself to every miserable mushroom ism
that folly or fanaticism produces.
It's platform is broad as the UEion ard
national as the Constitution. Democracy
is the same in Maine and Texas, in Flori-
da and Oregon. In this particular oul
party stands alone. 1t stands between
the Constitution and its enemies, and pro-
claims justice to every section Of the
Union. Its work is to remoye the tester
ing prejudices which exist between the
States, to allay the fanatical excitement,
and to restore to our country its wonted
harmony; and it is a work in which every
true patriot and friend Of the Union
should be engaged. The preservation o.
the Constitution and of our liberty and
security is the same thing. at is moi
the regular tread Of the sentinel soldier
before his door, that gives to the Ameri,
can citizen his consciousness Of security
and safety. He looks to the flag Of hi:
country and finds it there. 1t is not il
the strong arm Of a hireling soldiery that
be looks for the power to bind him to his
country, but in the rights and blessings
enjoyed by him under his country's Con
stituiion. Convert these into emblems o
injustice and degradation, and he vii
dosp;se them If the government i
made an Instrument for grossly irjurins
the people Of any section Of the country
how can they be expected to maintain it
Will not disunion follow? To prevent
this is the mission of the Democratic par
ty: To preserve the Constitution and K
peacefully administer its blessings will

rha pelawara River Disaster.

The burning of the Delaware River
Ferry, and its horrid result, still excite
the attention and horror of the residents
of Philadelphia, Camden and that yicini-
ty. The mystery that surrounds the fate
of many of the passengers, contribntesto
keep the public in anxious and painful
suspense.
Monday evenings Bulletin states: BY
daylight this morning the work of drag
ging the river was recommended. The
steam ferryboat John Fitch and a num-
Der of small craft, were engaged in the
work. The wharves were crowded with
anxious lookers-on, and as each body was
taken from the water, the excitement was
rendered still more intense. During the
morning the bodies of a number of per-
sons were taken fiom the river and con-
veyed to the Sixth Ward Station House,
where they were ranged side by side upon
benches, presenting a CHASTITY spectacle,
AS each body was brought in, the friends
of those who are missing crowded around
anxious to learn whether the lifeless corpse
was that of the object Of their anguish.
When the yemains were recognized, Bit
ter tears were she'd. The bodies, with
the weeping relatives of the dead and the
missing ones, made up a picture that
wrung the s~toutest hearts, and the like OF
which we hope never to be compelled to
witness again. The lamentations of some
of the relatives were dreadful to hear.
The excitement along the wharf con-
itinues to increase as the bodies are brought
ashore, whilst around the Cherry street
Station House the crowd is intense, The
street is literally damned with people o
both sexes, and the Police have theil
hands full to keep the throng back.
The Coroner designs putting a six
FOUNDER fi~eld-piece in requisition this at
~ternoen, for the purpose of causing the
bodies still under the water to rise to the
surface.
The number of bodies recovered up t.
this time, is eighteen. AS several OF thes'
are of persons who were not before missed
it swells the estimated aggregate loss Sc
riously. The total number of victim'
will lie mofe apt to exceed fifty thar t.
fall short of that terrible aggregate.

REPORT.

MINORITY REPORT.
The undersigned, members of the Com
mite on the State of the Order appointed
by the President of the State Council, beg
leave to submit the following minority re-
port.
We recognize the National Council as
the paramount authority of the American
Order, and deem q refusal to support can
didates nominated by the convention as
sembled in accordance with its rules Il
virtual abandonment of our organization.
The solemn obligations which the ma
jority of our Order took upon themselves,
at the height of the anti-slavery excite
mcnt, resulting from the passage of the
Nebraska Bill, to maintain, as ~pre-eminent
in Importance, the principles of the A
mericGn Order, have not, in our opinion,
lost any of their force By the present june
ture of affairs. The question of slavery
extension, is each day losing the charac-
ter OF an impending danger, from the fact
that the operation of the laws Of popula-
ton and of nature, render it impossible
lIdt- any vi III tSiiItOAy y Vac
States will be subjected to the evils OF
that institution. We therefore can never
consent to become absorbed by . party
which p~rofeses to have only that one OBJ
iect, and which rePudiates in one locality,
and ignores in another, the principles OF
the American party.
We continue to maintain the opinion
that the restoration of the Missouri Com
promise would be a proper yindication OF
national faith, and not inconsistent with
the rights of either section, North or
South; and if that issue is now %impracti-
cable, it has been made SO by the treache-
rous desertion of the pretended devotecs
of freedom.
We can not sanction the cours of that
portion of our delegates who seeded from
the American National Convention, MOI
can we become parties to the constructing
of a merely sectional organization, and
therefore recommend to the members Of
the American Order, that they preserve il
in its full integrity and its entire nation
atty, and support the nomination of Mil
lard Fillmore for President and Andrew
Jackson Donelson for Vice President OF
the United States.
Signed By the Committee.

III 4 acres with the growth Tor 6 weeks,
will keep II oxen 6 weeks, then will the
grass of | acre with its growth for G
weeks keep 5 oxen for 6 weeks, and the
grass of 5 acres with its growth for 6
weeks keep 8 oxen 80 weeks, or 80 oxen
for l week. ca
Again by the second condition of the
question, if the grass OF 5 acres with its
growth for 2 weeks will keep 50 oxen 2
weeks, then will the grass of 5 acres with
its growth for 2 weeks keep 70 oxen for

BY a careful comparison of {4) and CO.
we see that the growth Of 5 acres 4 week
is sufficient to keep 20 oxen | week, the
growth of l acre 1 weeks will keep 4 oxen
l week, Consequently, the growth Of II
acres in 4 weeks viii keep As oxen l
week, and the growth of II acres in 8
weeks will keep SO oxen l week or -
oxen s weeks.
By (4)we have seen that the grass OF
5 acres with its growth for 6 weeks, viii
keep so oxen | week, but the grass that
grows on 5 acres in 6 weeks, will keep
80 oxen l week, then the grass alone OF
5 acres will keep 60 oxen l week, or 5
