The Black Line Party.

Mr.. Comins, OF Massachusetts, said in
speech in the House of Representatives on
the 10th inst. that "nothing remained for that
gentleman (Mr. Cobb, Of Georgia,) but to
draw marginal lines of black around the Con.
stitution and write expunged across its pa
ges." Mr.. Cobb's rebuke Of the revolving
sentiment was one of the noblest bursts of
patriotic eIoquence that ever honored the
halls of Congress. He said: "Sir, he who is
prepared for the damnabe deed may perform
il. 1t is no part oI my duty, and finds no re-
sponse in my heart. ! prefer 10 regard and
protect from the assaults Of treason and ia

lowing, which we clip from the Bangor (Me.)

Burning Of q Steamboat on Lake Erie.

On the 17ih inst. the steamer Northern In.
diana was burnt on Lake Erie, and out OF
ilo or 115 passengers about 20 lives were
lost. The fire caught near the engine, and
the alarm among the passengers was so great
that MANY were disabled from rendering
any assistance. Mr.. Wetmore the first mate
was in command Of the steamer at the time,
and behaved bravely. There were about two
cords of plank on the steamer, and be COM
menced throwing these overheard, and also
tables and other objects upon which passen-
gers might find safety. He was the last man
toleave the steamer, and says he could have
etaid on half an hour longer wiihou, ncon-
venieEce. He is of opinion that If the pas
sengers could have been con,rolled 10 obey
him, not one life would have been lost. The
steamer Mississippi came up and picked up
the passengers floating, aud such as yet re-
mained on the Northern Indiana. Among
the passengers saved were Rev. William
Ca.hcaH, wife and child, of Lagrange, lnd;.
ana, who were on their passage from this
place to their western home. s.-

Important Arrangement.

The Board of Canal Commissioners have
awarded the carrying of passengers on the
State Railroad from Lancaster to Philadelphia
TO Messrs. Thomson & Yeager, the two pres.
idents of the Pennsylvania and of the Harris.
burg and Lancaster Railroads. Messrs Bing.
ham & Dock have hitherto had the contract
for carrying the passengers on The State road
from Lancaster eastward. The transfer now
made is in effect TO the Pennsylvania and
Harrisburg and Lancaster railroads, and de.
livers the passengers from the annoyance of
divided control and the vexatiops of indiffer-
ent agents and conductors. From Philadel-
phia TO Piltsburg, hencefoth, The supervision
of the passengers will be single and unbro.

The CAMPAIGN.


A number Of names are to-day announced
for county officers, and those who would like
70 see The party in q tu rmoil would doubtless
like TO see many more. A number of per-
sons who have been named, seeing that in
divisions there must be defeats, have from
the most honorable motives declined being
candidates. The policy of the opposition
will naturally be to divide and conquer, and
any cause can find a fit tool for mischief.
In the last three campaigns the true Demo-
Gratis of this county have met an insidious
and desperate foe in their own midst, of
which The vote in few infected districts
furnishes the mark and proof Three years
ago the treacherous, the timid and corrupt
formed an alliance against the Democratic
nominations; and in 1854 il was designed by
that clan 10 give the Know.Nothings full
sway. The true Democrats met that issue
early and bravely; and week after week we
fearlessly vindicated the cause of honor and
msnliness. We warned when the timid
shrunk cowardly from the contest; and we
dealt blow after blow when The corrupt sold
themselves 10 darkness and lreachery. For
this the base will never forgive us but many
who honestly erred have heartily thanked lis,
and will ever respect US. No where else
was Know-Nolhingism so met, and no where
else SO sorely defeated in lis day of pride
| Other counties were distracted while this one
stood firm.
Last fall the insidious mischief vveni
| with the lodge Of darkness, bgoiry and guile.
Men calling themselves Democrats barga,ned
with The remnant of Known Nolhingism, and
tried over again the deed Of darkness; but
proved as powerless as before.
These county offices are no source Of profit
10 those who hold them but it is important
TO the public that fit mer should fill them.
| A party has nothing TO gain in its nomina-
lions, but by taking disreputable men ii
has much 10 loose. The Object should not
be 10 satisfy the most importuna;e applicant,
but 10 give position TO a man who will do no
discredit 10 his party, who has been consis-
ten, and honest in all things. Those who
went after strange idols are 10 be guarded
against as unsafe 10 be trusted; for by their
detection they have proved that an idle wind
may turn them. If only safe anc iIusty men
are placed in front, the party will gain not
only strength and success, but respect and
confidence for future security. If those are
trusted who have betrayed, there can neither
be confidence and union among ourselves,
nor any respec, from others.

There is trouble in the o. U. A.'s 10 New

for Fremont, but the Order insists that they
mustgo for Fillmore and Donelson or be ex.

are at liberty 10 vote as their conscience die

Truth In q. Nutshell.
Hon. Henry Clay, IN 1850, used the follow

Hon. Henry Clay, IN 1850, used the follow
ing expressive language, which cannot be
TOO often repeated and commented upon:
"Of oil the binerest enemies of the uufor-
tunate negro, there are none to compare with
the Abolitionists, their pretended iriencs
who, like the Centaur of old, mount not the
back of the horses, but the back OF the negro,
10 ride themselves into power"
True every word. All that the leaders OF
disunion and sectional fanaticism can do for
the negro amounts to just lhis--no more, no
less--the anI,-Slavery question furnishes
them with votes enough TO get into Office
By stirring the lees of this great cauldron, the
scum of humanity gradually rises 10 the sur
face, and men who, under other circumsian-
! ces, could never have crawled out Uf their
native obscuriiy, are elevated into prominent
positions.
Aboliionism pays WELL TOO, in other re-
spects. II affords fat living 10 an army of
drones and unprinciped demagogues, who
delight as public lectures to sell the people by
the ears--not TO make war upon the South
but upon each other; their own neighbors and
bosom friends.
We fully agree with Mr. Clay, that the Alb.
olitiousts are the rftlerest enemiss the negro
has in the world. They have rveted the
bonds which they profess TO deplore, more
firmly than ever, by their madness and reck.
essness; they have deprived the negro at
The South of very many privileges that he
I ouoe enjoyed, and have retarded the work OF
! emancipation in this country at least talf a
century. More than all this; their hypocri.
ca professions about the equality OF the ra-
ces have made the negroes an intUlerabs
nuisance everywhere in the Northern and
Eastern States. 1t has inflated that degraded
race with extravagant ideas of their own dig
nifty and importance, and has rendered them
so insoleni, domineering and overbearing, that
some of the States have expelled them from
their borders. We should not be surprised
ifothers were compelled to resor to The same
measure OF self. defence. This is what the
bitter enemies of the negro have done under
the garb Of philanthropy They have not
emancipaled single slave, nor have they a
desire to do SO. The abolition Of slavery
would spoil their trade in sympathy, their
wEo lesale traffic in human cfedulily-,t
would prevent votes at elections, stop the
salaries of ranters, and compel an army Of
drones 10 belake themselves 10 some honest
employment.

board in that situation by The agents of the
Underground Railroad, with view to escape

instituted, and another slave was found in
the same situation, and 10 nearly the same
condition. These discoveries will doubtless
affect disasterously the business of the sub,

THE KANSAS FEVER.

time arrested for very violent and reasonable
expressions against on English King, he
was appealed 10 for severe disposition Of
their case. With great wisdom he remark.
ed "lhey have SET their hearts upon being

engaged in The sale of books opposite Bar
NUNS Museum in New York, and in the
fashion Of the 'razor strop" man drew
crowd until the street became blocked up
and the police arrested him. Instantly the
Know -Nothinss began 10 manufacture polit.
ical capital against the "Irish police" be-
cause :he man had sold The lives of Fillmore
and Donaldson, though il did not appear
that the police knew what kind of books he
sold. The magistrate scented the game; and
instead of making martyr of the 'blue man,
he admonished him to raise no more crowds
10 the street but TO sell as many books 9TH
erwise as he could; and SO discharged him.
II Senator Sumner had not been made
martyr by tie abolhonisls he would now
have no other reputation than that ofa finish
ed blackguard. Brooks in like manner has
made politica! capital. To prove how this
works, we observe that last week member
who would likely never have been Otherwise
heard of, made very abusive speech in
denunciation Of Mr.. Buchanan, and bid for
nosoriety and a fight by saying he held him
self responsible in the House or out of il,
al all times, for what he Lad said. This OF
course means the same az If he had said
"won'i some gentleman fight me into nolor;.

II is this way that poor Kansas has been
used by abolition demagogues in the manu-
iacture OF horrors and exciting outrages--
These fanatics feel better under flag with
sixteen STARS than one with thlrly.one. They
can no longer frghten people with 'iarif7'
panic, aud they only deal in "ruin" They
used the iron manufacturers for oitical tools
as long as they could, and now they are
determined 10 use poor Kansas.
And when 'fblood and murder" will not

a member of Congress turned out
sc an Infamous forger, and yetno person
thought of holding his party or his state re-
sponsible. There have been assaults and
batteries in Congress before the present ses-
sion, and nobody was silly enough to Or
ganize sectional party for that reason, nor
to suggest that the States from which such
members came must therefor go out of the
Union.
