The Democrat upon the State Con.
vention.

In our paper of the ESD ult., we adj
-,ised the p~ostponement of the Republi-
csn State Convention until June. Re-
tpecting this movement, the Democrat
delivers itself as follows:
OF course you had better watt
Your party has but a mere negative ex-
istence at any rate. You must always
follow, like a swarm Of sharks, in the
wake of Ire proud ship of Democracy.
For you TO take the lead on the sea ci
political ~commotion, woulJ be your de.
struction, as you would not know to
which point of the compass to steer
When the Cincinnati Convention has
nominated a candidate, "then," says the
Chronicle, "'let US move"
We are very sorry hat the Republi-
can State Central Commute has unkind-
ly taken the wind out of the Democrats
sails, hy appointing the Republican Con-
vention TO be holden on the Goth of May,
but such is the fact.
Whether the existence of the Re.
publican party is positive or negative, ii
is very certain that it placed a very de-
cided negative upon Black Democracy
in this State, at the last State election,
and WU put just such another upon it,
at the next presidential election. The
present ship of Democracy is about as
proud, Just now, as n of the dirt scows
that float on our canal, and makes Just
the same kind of a wake. AS for taking
the lead on the sea of political commo-
ton, we are modest, and wait for such
leading papers as the Trum6uH Democrat.
II needs no compass to steer By, it al
ways waits till it hears the crack Of
Douglass whip; then it travels sOuthward
and dotrnUGTd.

To the Donors of the Kansas Fund.

Gentlemen Below you will find a
statement of the amount of funds col
lected by US in Trumbull county, for the
relief of the actual settlers in Kansas, as
set forth in u printed circulars. Since
seeing you, vents have transpired with
in Kansas and in the States, that seem
to require of us a different course of &C.
ton. The border r~ufians'' finding it
a hopeless task 10 control the citizens OF
Kansas by open violence, have now turn-
ed their efforts 10 the cUlonizing of Kan
sas with pro-slavery men. 1t has there
fore been suggested to us By several citi-
zens that a company be organized in
this county; each township having do
mated twenty-five dollars of this fund
furnishing n man. We have therefore
concluded to make this proposition 10 the
several townships, and if it meets with
their appreciation, TO organize a company
TO start by the middle Of this month.
The amount of money received by us
is as follows:

Moving and Reaping Machines.

Among the labor saving machinery in
use at the present day, there is none hat
promises to be productive of more good,
than that which relieves the farmer from
the indispensable, but hitherto laborious
task of cutting hay and grain, under the
scorching heat of the summer sum-
Aliens Reaping & Moving Machine,
ONT highly recommended, as possess
ing all the modern Improvements. This
machine is so geared that when going at
a speed Of not more than two and a half
miles per hour, the knife cuts equally as
well as when the machine is drawn more
rapidly. Owing TO this improvement it

This machine is for sale by George
Kirkland, Esq, CT Poland, whose ad-
vertisement may be found in another
column.

More Honesty.

"These slaves were entailed upon Mr.
Clay, by his wife's father, and accord
ing to the laws of Kentucky, it is impos'
sible fer him 10 liberate them"
Aboliiionists argue that slavery is a
moral. religious and political evil, and
that no human enactment can justify it.
This is the creed of the " higher law
advocates Of whom the Chronicle re-
Gently said it thanked heaven there were
so many on the Reserve. But in the
case of Cassius NJ. Clay, they fall back
on the law of the land, and therein seek
for justification "By the laws of Ken
lucky it is impossible for him 10 libeiate
them" But could he not have brought
them into Ohio and set them free ?
Democrat.
This is another of the compliments
which the Democrat is in the habit of
paying TO the common sense of its read
ers. There is no person of ordinary H.
telligence, but knows that when prop
erty of any kind is entailed upon the
heirs of a man, it is beyond his control.
1t does not belong to him, any more than
that part of a deceased husbands real
estate, which his widow holds during
her life time, under her right of dover,
belongs to her. She al use it while
she lives, but she cannot sell it, nor
give it away. She can sell her life in
in the land and no more. This is
precisely the ease with the slaves en-
allied upon the heirs of Clay. He could
not sell them, nor liberate them. His
life interest in them has been sold by
the sheriff, and that is all. Mr.. Clay
nerer sold a slave. He liberated every
one he owned, years ago. If the Demo-
crat had one particle of honesty it would
have stated the facts. 1t we'll knows
hat it was impossible for Mr.. Clay to
bring those slaves into Ohio, and libe-
rate them, because he did not own them.

and 80 wounded and missing. Among
The wounded is Marshal Lieut.. Morgan,
aid de-camp Of Walker, and Captains
Huston, Clinton, Harrell /; Lieutcnants
Oils, Stall, Gray, Doyle, and others.
Elnicarduguesne, Walkers organ,

1t is said that the Costa Ricans, on
taking possession of Virgin Bay, fired
Unfortunately, and killed 8 or 1OAmeri-
cans in the employ of the Transit Com
pany.

party. The Nicarauguans acted with
Walker, much TO the disappointment Of
the Costa Ricans.

settlers in the township of Fowler, and shared largely
in the tolls, the pleasures and the hOnors of converting
a wilderness into a fruitful field; and Of establishing
institutions Of civilization and religion. Ola peculiar
social habit, he was extensively known in religious So
ciety and in the world so that his death has made a
vide vacancy even beyond his immediTte family. His
funeral was attended on Wednesday, the 18th, by a
hrge and solemn assembly, among whom, were an un'
usual number Of old men. They thus testified their re-
sprct for one who had long been a leading man among
them. as well their sympathy for the aged widow and
bereaved family, who have lost their head. Mr.. h.
was a man Of Spirit, Of christian principle. and Of a
benevolent heart. lie was a friend to the poor, and
especially Of the Oppressed. His sickness was short,
painful, hut borne with christian submission. "Pre-

Sore the wound, and sad the day,
They we're rudely torn away.
Like the %warbling Of a bird
Was thy voice at morning heard,
And throughout the IiVe-long day
Music s~weetened every play
Evening hours bring weariness
Since we miss thy fond caress,
And the trip Of infant feet
Wont our homeward steps to meet.
Merry, cheerful. beauteOus thing,
Bird like, ever on the wing,
But thy sweet voice now is dumb,
Silence sits within our home.
Here we see thy vacant chair,
And thy tiny toys lie there
Oft we hearken at the door,
But thy light tread comes no more.
Shall we hear thy voice once more,
Singing on the other shore
Wilt thou love US as OF old
In that Heaven can love grow cold
Precious dust, rest gently here,
Till the morning shall appear,
When we know thoult watch and wait
For US at the Golden Gate.
