a FUSION DEMAGOGUE EXPOSED.

We see it stated in the Fusion papers
that Col. LANE, of Kanzas, was present
at the late Black Republican Conven-
tion, and electrified that body with a
speech, which, to use the "hifalutin " of
the Cleveland Herald, he "gave a most
thrilling account of what he saw and a
part of which he was, in the devastated
Territory, and before the country and
God" abused the Democratic party gen.
orally. Who, then, is Col. LANE, of
Kanzas. He wal formerly a citizen of
Indiana, and gained his first notoriety
in the Mexican War-a War which
those who are now clarifying him to the
skies united in pronounciug unholy and
damnable." After the passage of the
Kansas Nebraska act, he emigrated to
Kansas and has since become prominent
ly identified with the so-called Free
State movement in that Territory. His
late attempt to palm off OIL the U. S.
Senate his forged Kansas memorial
how Senator DOUGLAS exposed the for
gery-how the gallant Colonel chal-
lenged Senator DOUGLAS to mortal COM
bat and the scathing rejoinder he re-
ceived, is of course yet fresh in the men,
cries of our readers. The Indianapolis
Sentinel, however, furnishes anotheritem
in the history of the gallant Colonel,
that ought not to be lost or forgotten {:
"On Saturday, the 18th inst, the
wife of this gallant Colonel Lane, OBJ
tanned in the Circuit Court, of Dearborn
County, a divorce from him, the said
Lane, on a petition of his wife. After
proving him guilty.of abandonment, and
for other legal causes, she AYERS that he
sent her home from Kansas, among
strangers, unprovided for, unprotected,
and without money to pay her passage
and travel. She is the mother of three
our four children of this same Lane"
And this is the adromtMrous and
gallant LANE" who is Tow traversing
the State making Fcsion speeches, de-
plotting the woes of Kansas, and abusing
the Democratic party. No doubt he de-
picts in glowing colors the wrongs of
slavery-that it separates husband from
wife-parent from child, and sends them
into perpetual seryitude; while he him
self can be shown by judicial records, to
be a acife-deScrter, which is far worse.
The heather are a law unto themselves,
and his ideas of freedom no doubt in
'clude free lore, free matrimOny and free
miggers, in the sam, category. We
suggest to the Black Republican leaders
of this county, that they invite the chiv-
alrous Colonel to visit this section. AS
there are always a goodly number of
ladies who visit their meetings to swell
the crowd, no doubt many Of the fair
mes would be glad (?) to listen to a little
Wholesale abuse of their Democratic
neighbors, from the gallant Col. LANE,
of Kanzas," the Uife-deScrter!

A WORD TO THE DEMOCRACY.

This number of the Union completes
the half year since we took charge of it,
and the next commences the new volume.
As the Democracy of our county have
had a fair opportunity of judging of our
merits, and as we have fully indicated
the course of the Union IN the future,
we now take the privilege of making
a brief appeal to our friends to exert
themselves in extending its circulation
Nothing contributes so much to the sue
cess of a political party, as a well-con-
Quoted county paper Our opponents
are we'll aware of this, and have exerted
themselves to extend the circulation Of
their paper to such an extent as that 1t
is now equal to that of the Union, al
though OURS is much the oldest and larg-
est paper. The contest this fall is GER
tain to be the most exciting and bitter
of any Presidential fight since the form
alton of the government. 1t is of the
utmost importance that Democratic doc
uments be widely spread among the peo-
pie, and correct sentiments iustilled
In DO way can this be done SO well as in
circulating the organs of the party,
Our circulation should be at least five
hundred moro than it actually is. We
can lire with our present support, but
Democrats may rely upon it, that the
circulation of the Union n this county,
is not large enough to make it Efficient
as a county organ. Although we are in
poor health, and without much prospect
of Improvement, yet We pledge ourself
to make the Uaoin as good and efficient
at least, as it has ever been heretofore.
Give us but the patronage we feel we
are honestly entitled to, and we shall
then be able to devote our whole atten-
tion to the paper, and add greatly to its
efficiency as a party organ We there
fore propose to furnish the Union to
subscribers, from this time until after
the Presidential election, for fifty cents.
To any one sending us a club of ten, we
will send the Union during that time,
gratis.

WARE, President, met in Columbus ON
the 9th inst, and nominated in secret

also delegates to the New York Nation
al Convention. This certainly looks as
If the FILLMORE men were in earnest,
and that all sympathy between them
and the Black Republicans is at an end.
FILLMORE papers confidently claim from
twenty-five thousand to one hundred
thousand votes in this State.
The Black Republicans also held a
State Convention in Columbus on the
z9th, apd nominated a full State ticket.
From reliable sources we learn hat The
Convention was slimly attended, and
was decidedly a spiritless affair. No
instructions were given to the Delegates

gard to the Presidency, each man being
left to vote as be, chooses. The Delega-

TO all appearances, therefore we shall
have a triangular coHtpst in this State
this fall, in which the Democracy will of
course be successful.

THE SUMMER AFFAIK.

At last accounts from Washington
Senator SUMNER was still suffering Sc
vcrely from his wounds, though the chan
ces are decidedly in favor of his speedy
recovery. We freely characterize the
conduct of Brooks as brutal in the ex-
treme and unworthy Of a IL a.; but, again.
when we reflect upon the provocation
given by SUMNER, together with the time
and place, We confess we are not SUI
prised at the conduct of Brooks in the
least. No honorable man would have
rested quietly under the imputations of
Mr. SUMNER, under the circumstances,
without chastising him in some way
that Mr.. BRooKs pursued the course he
did is certainly to be regretted. The
speech was a disgrace to the man-to
his State, and to the assembly that lis
tened to it. To characterize, by COM
p~arison, Mr.. BUTLER, of South Carolina,
a crazy man, and Mr.. DOUGLAS, a fool,
was a violation of all rules of decorum
in debate, and was certainly disgraceful.
Mr. SUMvE&'sg 81 eat predecesso-. DANIEL
WEBSTER, resorted to NO such slarg and
abuse in the great contest between him
self and the gallant HAYNE, ~thefarorite
champion of South Caroline. Mr.. WEB
srER's speech 0 m that occasion gained
for him the admiration of every man in
the country; Mr. SCMHER's speech on
the present occasion has gained III Kim
nothing but expulsion from social inter
course with his brother Senator'S and a
broken head. One speech exhibits the
statesman the other the demagogue
and fanatic. We learn from authentic
sources, that Senator SEWARD, of New
| York, entreated Mr.. SUMNER to omit the
offensive passages in his speech, but he
o~bs;inately refused to do it and has re-
ccived the reward of his folly. Viewing
the matter in this light, how ridiculous
do our Black Republican friends make
themselves in getting up Indignation
meetings in regard to this affair, and ma
king flaming speeches about the freedom
Of speech and the violation of the rights
of the Outraged North" HaG Sena-
tor SUMNER conducted himself worthy of
his position-had he net used language
fit only for the doggery and the broth
el-he would no doubt have passed on
his way uumolested. That he did not do
so is to be regretted-that the affair has
terminated SO u~nfavorably is also to be
regretted-but that it is anything but
his W folly that provoked the attack,
cannot be gainsayed. And of such arc
nearly all the martyrs to 6eedomn"

DEATH OF II. w. KEEL oGG, ESQ.

We are panied to o the death
of our much esteemed fellow townsman,
b. w. KELLOGG, Esq, who expired at
his residence in this place, on Monday
afternoon last, after a long and painful
illness, from consumption.
MI. KELLOGG commenced the study of
the Law in the office of Z. n. GATES,
Esq, of this place, some time in the year
1874, and was admitted to the Bar in
October, 1916. Possessed of superior
natural endowments and q liberal edu-
cation, his rise in the legal profession
was rapid, and he 1901 found himself in
possession of a lucrative practice. He
was Prosecuting Attorney of this county
for four years, which office he filled with
distinguished ability. Last fall he was
put forward as the Democratic nominee
for State Senator, but was defeated by Il
small majority. Had his health not
been so delicate as to almost exclude
him from taking any part in the contest,
his election would have been certain.
AS a lawyer, Mr.. KELLOGG bad few, if
any superiors in this section of the State.
AS a politician, his course was always
marked with great courtesy and flirness
towards those who differed with him in
opinion. AS a citizen, he was honorable
and upright in all his dealings, courte-
Gus and afable in his intercourse with
his neighbors, ever ready to step for
ward and assist in furthering any enter
prise calculated to promote the public
good. No man in our midst was
more generally respected, and his death
will be universally regretted. He leaves
a wife and two interesting little chill
dren to mourn his loss, with whom our
c%itizeus most deeply sym~pathize. The
friends of Mr.. KELLOGG have the salts
factory assurance that he died a true
christian. Candy and peacefully his
soul took its fight to the spirit land
he died without a struggle, in the bosom
of his family, surrounded by a large
number of weeping friends and relatives.

of God, whose pure and unaffected pie
ty, and whose unwavering devotion to
the interests of the Church, rendered
him q worthy object of respect and hon
or by all true lovers of Zion.
I'd. That We consider it due the
memory of our Pastor, to express our
very high appreciation of his services
among US, particularly in the clear, i'm
pressive and faithful manner, in which
he exhibited and applied the truths of
the Gospel, in his assiduous and afec-
t%ionate attention to our spiritual well
fare, by visiting from house to house,
counselling and comforting us in all our
troubles, and attending p~unctually to all
parts of Ministerial duties.
Sd. That while We most deeply de-
plore our loss and mourn his departure,
we nevertheless acquiesce in the will of
Him who does all things right in Heav-
en- and earth, and hope that this severe
stroke of Providence may be sanctifed
to US, and teach us all to be ready, as
in such an hour as we think net, the
Son of Man cometh.
4th. That we tender to the bereaved
family our deepest sympathy in their
affections by this severe stroke, which
has deprived them of a wise and prudent
counsellor, an affectionate father, a kind
husband and that we recommend them
to the cart of Him who relieves the
fatherlcss and the widow, trusting that
they will find in Him comfort in all their
Affections, and support in all their trials
5th. That as a tribute of respect, q
