man with either moral principle or self respect
could consent to remain in an institution wher,

for organization by southern preachers If they
do, they will place themselves and their churches

ginia paper We published that Mr.. Campbell was
absent from Bethany at the time of the difficulty.
From this statement it seems he was at home dur
ing the whole difficulty, and left only when he had
fnally settled it in favor of slavery.
Bethany College deserves to sink out of cxis-

world at large and especially to the outcast slave.

THE DEMOCRATIC R

The Democratic party, which most faithfully Of
any other, represents and maintains at the North
the interests of the Southern Olicarchs, is fast
wheeling into line in order most effectually to crush
out all spirit and hope of freedom from the nation
at the next presidential battle. County and State
Conventions are being held in various parts of the
country. These indicate some difference of opin.
ion with regard to who shall receive the Offices, but
they are indissolubly united in excluding from
them all who are not tried and undoubted friends
Of southern rule and northern submission. Jus.
tice, and freedom, and tile slave, have no voice in
any of their assemblies. The slave-driver rules.
For example, in Belmont county, they recon.
mended james Buchanan for the Presidency. In
Clinton county, George NJ. Dallas. In Sandusky
county, they shave full confidence in Franklin
Pierce" In Sciota county, they applaud the Dem
ocratie Representatives at Washington for their
support of William A. Richardson for speaker
Such are the prevailing influences of the party in
the State. But we are bound to make every ex.
ception possible. and must therefore state, that the
attempt to endorse the Nebraska Bill failed in JEFF.
ferson county, while in Lawrence county. they &C
tually passed resolutions condemning the Pierce
administration, and the Kansas act.
The State Convention at Columbus, on the 9Th
inst, of course faithfully represented the pro-sla-
very spirit and purpose Of the local Conventions
Though in form, it declined to approve President
Pierces Administration, it was evidently in his ia.
vor. And it is most likely that the Ohio delega-
ton to the Cincinnati Convention, will be found to
be Pierce men. AT all events they are for slavery.
None but the most thoroughly tried and ultra
slaveocrats of the country received any favor in
that Convention. DR.. Fries of Cincinnati, who
sent as n delegate to represent the anti. Nebras.
ka wing of the party in Hamilton county, was cast

The Nashville Patriot, in noticing the couse oil
the present anti-slaycry sentiment in the North
shows that sensible men in the South hold the
Northern dough faces responsible for the violation
of Northern oompacts, and the consequent agita.
ton OF the slavery question. We copy the follow
ing from that paper Of the 9th inst.
The Democratic Party, in 1852, resolved to IRE
sist all the attempts at renewing, in Congress or
out OF il, the agitation Of the slavery question un-
der whatever shape or color the attempt might be
made" but disrcgarding his pledge as it had dis.

OF slavery by providing for the repeal Of the Mis-.

most patriotic settlement by almost all the great
statesmen Of the country, North and South, ire
spectiye of party.
1t was this act, which, looked upon by the North
ms of bad faith and dishonorable, stirred up the
foundations of bitterness. and gave the enemies Of
Southern institutions an advantage and influence
