Harper Escaped from Jail.


Harper, whose arrest and Imprisonment we
have noticed i'll another paragraph, broke Jail
about one o'clock on Sunday morning aud
made his escape. 1t appears from what we
can learn that one day last week, whilst some
repairs We're being made in the room occupied
by Harper, he managed to slip piece of
board under his bed, where he kept it conceal
ed until Saturday night, and then by some
means diVested himself of his hopples and with
the aiil of the board removed part of the graf
ing in the window This accomplished, he
next endeavored to make his exit but finding
the opening rather too tight a fit for his per-
son, he took off most of his clothes and flung
them into the yard and then followed boldly.
Having dressed himself, he scaled the Jail yard
wall and departed Such is the report given
by one of the other prisoners, who was conin-
ed in the same room with Harper. 1t is high
ly probable that horse was in readiness some
where in the vicinity of town to facilitate the
flight of the fugitive, for he told his room
mate lie might give the alarm as soon as he
was over the wall, which he accordingly did
Thus has this accomplished .scoundrel escaped
4 second time from our county prison and evad-
ed the clutches of the law We do not know
who is censurable, or whether any body is !;
but there has manifestly been n want of efli-
cient means Of remiSSness in their application,

Ministers and Politics.

During the past year or so, no one can have
failed to notice the yindIctiyc assaults OF the
Nebraska orators, upon the clergy, generally
for the reason that they raised their voices
against the great iniqsity involved in the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise Nothing
was too extreme to be said about them-noth-
ing too false or absurd But as soon IS a
minister Was foand volunteering defence of
slavery, it was al! right that he should preach
politics. The letters of the Rev, Mr.. Brcck-
enridge have been published with approval by
nearly all the Nebraska papers in the country
We learn from a gentleman who has just re-
turned from tour of several months in one of
the Slave States that the ministers there are
in the constant habit of preaching politics, and
that their sermons are published in the politi-
cal papers just as so much other political mat
ter would be- Cut we do not see them rebuk-
ed n-any way, for the reason that they advo-
cate and uphold the peculiar institution" =
We commend these facts to those who are so
much " stirred up" because Northern preach
er occasionally speaks for Frecdom.-Daiiy

BE- If we did not know that CHASE, of the
-H0ntroSc Democrat was q knave, we should
feel quite certain that he was fool In Il
late number of his delectable sheet, he scizcS
hold of an article in the Reporter to prove that
We have been engaged for year and half
in building up the ow-Nothing order"
In his last issue he comes out with the start
ling announcement that WIIMor has made a
coalition with the FILLMORE Know-Nothiugs
and accuses him of an attempt to sell the
Free-solers to the Fillmore Ticket. We
congratulate the free-soiers of Susquehanna
upon having such vigilant sentinel of their
rights and liberties as CHAsE-they can feel
safe while his Sleepless vigilance and proved
integrity is guarding their cause against the
such doubtful friends as WnAor
CHASE is your true friend of Freedom What
if his course does look somewhat dubious and
inconsistent, shall any one doubt the sincerity
of such professions as he has made ? Has he
not already taken the field for Benton, for
President Has he not declared that noni-
nations will rot affect his support of that dis
tinguished statesman THAT he should be with
those who were fer him, and against those were
against him +? Has he not made the slavery
question the paramount issue, aud pledged the
Democratic party as the true free-sol party :?
Undoubtedly, those who are disposed to be-
lieye CHASE insiacere, are doing him great in
justice. He hopes to benefit the cause of Free
dom through the Democratic party Knowing
his weight in that organization he does not in
tend to leave it, but will bring it back to a
free-soil platform. We have no question that
the leaders of the Democracy PIERCE, DouG-
LAS ToNBs 4 Co. will respect CHAsE's advice
aud wishes, and incorporate free-soil plank,
taken from the IMCntrose DemocraD in the
platform to be erected at Cincinnati. When
this is done, the honesty of CHAsE's course will
be fully and triumphantly vindicated.

Bay- The Governor has vetoed the Printing
Bill, and therefor deserves the thanks of the

printer under the present system, does not 10

TIE PRESIDENTIAL. WAR.-Grecley writes
as follows to the Tribpnt in regard TO the in
ternecne was now raging in the Democratic
party in regard to the nomination at Gncin-
natl =
As the Cincinnati Convention draws nigh,
the confusion among the crowd Of aSpiraHts
and their friends daily increases here. 1t is
confessed by the most astute managers that
the present political fog is more impenetrabIc
than any that has preceded it for many years
No confidence as 10 the nomination is really
entertained in any quarter, whatever may be
be profesSed, and distrnst is exhibited on all
sides and the intcrnecine war, which has
commenced between the rival followers of Mr.
Buchanan and Gen. Pierce, is but one feature
Of the general and indiscriminate hostilites
which are wagcd among all the aspirants- -
They will probably be as successful as the
Kilkenny CATS while some new man will car
ry off the tails as trophies of convenient neu-
tralty. If ANY opinion can be safely yentur-
ed, in the midst of SO much conflicting ccmpe-
tition, it is that the most prominent cand-
dates will be set aside for the very reasons
which have given them conspicuous position
and attracted political favor,

MR. BUCHANAN AND THE NEBRASKA Bill
The Washington Union publishes the following
Some discussion having taken place upon the
position of Mr.. Buchanan on the kansas-Ne-
braska bill, We are permitted to copy the fol-
lowing extract from letter addressed by Mr.
Buchanan 10 Senator Slideli, dated London,
on the 2Sth of December last, when there
seemed TO be no difference as to Mr. B's thor
ough identity with the Democratic party on
this, aS on all other issues 1t will be seen
that Mr.. B. speaks of the Kansas Nebra aSka
bill with his usual frankness and decsion.-
We are confirmed in our impression. by this
letter, that no man, no set of men, and no
newspaper, are at all warranted to speak au-
thoritatirely for Mr. Buchanan upon this or
upon other question. His own words speak
for themselves.
The letter of Mr. Buchanan was not, it will
be seen. intended for publication, but the gen
tleman 10 whom il was addressed has thought
it necessary, after the editorial article in the
Union of Wednesday last to lay it before the
country
The question has been settled bv Con
gresS, and this settlement should be infexbly
maintained. The Missouri Compromise is gone
and gone forever But no assault should be
made upoH those Democrats who maintained
it provided they are now willing in good faith
to maintain the settlement as it exists. Such
an understanding is wise and just in itself
" 1t is we'll kuown hcw | labored in COM
pany with So',ItrG men to have this line cy-
tcGde,. TO the Pacific But it has departed
The time for it has passed away, and | verify
believe that the best-nay, the only-mode
now left of puttpr down the fanatical and
reckless spirit of abolition at the North is 10
adhere to the existing settlement, without the
slight st thought or appearance Of wayering
and wi,aout regarding any storm which NAV
be ra.Sed against it."
