TORNADO AT GuAM-Captain Baxter, Of the
schooner Harrison, arrived at San Francisco, from
Guam, one of the Ladrone Islands, reports that
there was terrific tornado, accompanied by a
slight shock of an earthquake, at that place on
the 2Sd of September last Within twenty min
utes from the commencement of the storm, more
than eight thousand persons were left without a
house or roof to protect them. Nearly all the
houses upon the island, with the exception of ten
or twelve stone buildings destroyed and scat
tered in every direction. The rain fell in torrents,
and as it touched the lips it tasted salt as though
it came from the ocean. Nearly all the cocoa and
orange trees were destroyed.

Sneech of LIcut. GOV. Ford.

AT a public meeting OF the 0. U. A. held
at Columbus on Wednesday night, Lieu
tenant Governor Ford was called upon for
speech.
He came forward and said he had been
suffering from indisposition for some days
past, and scarcely able to perform the duty
assigned him of making speech at that
time. America expected every man to do
his duty, and whilst listening to the warn
ing voice of our immortal Washington Ito
beware of foreign influence" we should be
careful not to be engulphed in domestic des-
potism. The glo,ious order of United
Americans, of which he was proud to be a
member, is founded in the natural equality
of man, not made equal by mans enact
ment merely, but born equal. We should
inculcate the love Of freedom and the equal
rights Of man. Warning after warning up
on this subject seem to have fallen upon
deaf ears to the cause of freedom. Within
the last few years we have seen too many Of
our countrymen uniting with nearly all the
citizens Of foreign birth, in supporting prin-
ciples and enacting laws that must inevita-
bly end in the subyersion Of our liberties.
The people should move forward in the
majesty of their strength, and forever stay
the progress Of all dangerous inovations up
on their rights, 1t is not worth while to
disguise the fact that this great battle be-
tween freedom and slavery over the body
and mind of man must now be fought
Arm yourselves, then, for the contest. All
that is near and dear to us as Americans is
at stake in thi. issue, for such tyranny
shall triumph, if slavery shall be nation
allied, you may look forward with certainty
to the day when the blghting ruleof moral
darkness would tusurp the seat of enlight
ened rectitude, and the dav would not be
far distant when our dearest rights would
be in danger of being wrested from us BY
amb tious rulers. Those who neither feared
God nor regarded man, will rivet about u.
the CALLING chains Of despotism, and forever
Danish from our happy homes the name o.
freedom. and all its lovely attributes. g
