/ FORGOTTEN REVOLUTIONS,

vortex OF forgotten revolutions.
They havezseen him remove and destroy the
ancient landmarks OF compromise that was
to bind the north and south in nnion forever
They have heard him, in his official history
of slavery, deplore its defeat, and triumph at
its success over freedom and Justice.
They have seen him appoint none but those
who are favorable to the extension of catholi-
cism and slavery, to office in the government
They have heard him officially slander and
condemn the north and her institutions, and
cxtol the south and slavery, as the pride and
glory of the nation.
They have heard him officially threaten to
overcome and suppress the people of free
territory, unless they would yield to the un-
constitutional demands of the slave power.
They have seen him use the military power
to oyerawe the people, in the free exercise of
their civil and political rights.
They have heard him sanction laws, that for
bid the privilege of speech, and Of the press,
against slavery, under the penalty of five years
Imprisonment at hard labor.
They have seen him attempting to control
the elections of the northern states, bv send
ing out slaveholding speakers, to lecture the
people on the benefits Of slavery extension.
They have seen him use unconstitutional
and dishonorable means, 10 extend the area
and powers Of slavery over the American
people.
They have heard him offer over one hundred
InliIiOhs OF dollars 10 nave Cuba annexed To the
Union, for the purpose of Strengthening and
extending the empire Of slavery aad cathol-
cisIn, over the American continent.
Then, after witnessing such acts as these by
! By the Executive, can it be denied that the
| President is now perverting the Republic, from
freedom to slavery, and from Democratic to
an Aristocratic form of government. Alrea-
dy has it gone forth from one Of the members
of the Cabinet, that this government will be-
come limited Monarchy. But the people
are patiently waiting the elective franchise, to
hurl from power the imbecle incumbent, the
American Napoleon, that would make them
the subjects Of a tyrants crown. C.J

THE ERIE RIoT.-In our last issue we an
Houneed that the Erie Constitution printing Of
fee was destroyed by mob on Friday week.
Since then we have received the details from
both sides, and we give the following from
the Gazette as perhaps the most dispassionate
account of it that has appeared in Erie. The
Gazette vanly depricates all violence and ur-
ges the citizens to submit te the law. We
quote:
Several of our immediate cotemporaries
having proceeded rs in relating the circum-
stances connected with last Fridays proceed
ines, we shall devote but little space to the
subject. 1t appears that about four O'Clock
in the afternoon ofthat day, Mr.. John R. Coch
ran of the firm of Cochran & Beatty, stepped
into the office of a paper called the Constitg-
fion, in quest of Mr.. E. NJ. Mann, with whom
he wished to transact some business. Imme-
diately upon entering he was struck about the
head bv John W. Walker, eldest son John
H. Walker. Not prostrated by the blow, three
others, Mr.. Cochran represcnts) named Joseph
r. Ferguson, David B. McCreary and John c.
McCreary, came to Walkers assistance, and
together succeeded in bruising his face badly
he resisting as he best could The fact of
such an attack, dishonorabie in its nature and
totally uncallcd for, spread through town like
wildfre, and created general Indignation. a
large crowd soon assembled in front of WrightS
exchange, and after an address from Mr.. Coch-
ran detailing the facts of the assault upon him
and denouncing the outrages which had been
committed against the city and citizens by the
Railroad onopolists--proceeded to the office
of the aforesaid paper and destroyed it with
everything connected with it. Completing
the work of demolition, they passed to the
dwellings of several citizens who have render
ed themselves obnoxious by their course on
the Railroad question, and attacked them,
breaking windows, blinds, doors, etc. The
whole scene was of the most fearful and de-
plorable character-a fearful evidence ofthc
irTitated condition of the public mind conse-
quent upon the triumph in the Legislature,
over Erie, of foreign corporations.

The EMPIRE OF COMMERCE. THAT IS TO De-
Mr. Soule has been entertaining the citizens of
New Orleans with speech, urging them to
send money and arms to the aid of Walker ;
men he had plenty at his command. Accord
ing to Mr.. Soule, Walkers chief obstacle is the
@cvil spirit in the North but in spite of op-
position, in few weeks Walker would sssweep
the Costa Ricans like dust from the face of the
earth;" that with suitable material aid he would
certainly succeed. All he needed wasS250, 900:
that so soon as the present struggles should
end in Walkers favor, Honduras and San Sal
vador would join with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, and the four States would form confed-
eration-but not component part of the
American Union-which would in time under
American energy and industry, become the
seat of empire of the commerce of the world.

the LUMBER BUsINEss.-Wc, few days
since, returned from a trip to Marietta, the
great depot for the lumber of the North and
West branches of the Susquehanna. The bust
ness is not very brisk, though prices are tole-
rably good. Pine lumber was selling at from
to II cts, and oak at from IL to 16. There
Is considerable tardiness manifested by the
eastern dealers, as they do not wish to pay the
above prices, and the sellers are disposed to
hold on unless these prices paid. The
board business is not SO good. We understand
boards bring from SO to s13. The quantity
of timber and lumber in market is larger than
was anticipated, though it falls far short of
what il was last spring.

The natives attacked all the passengers, who
