Unprecedented ingratitude.

After the locofoco party have lain abject,
for twenty years, at the feet of the slave
powor, crawling from one dirty service to
another, after its Northern men of distinc-
tion have Systematically prostituted every
gift, talent, advantage and faculty, to the
elevation of chains, and the reputation Of
freedom---the Charleston Mercury thus
renders its thanks:
We do not 6slieve that the Democratic
party is competent to protect the rights of
the South. 1t has been incompetent for
forty years to give us just constitutional
tariff. 1t has been incompetent to defeat
the plumber of internal Improvements, made
by the General Government 1t has beer
incompetent, with unanimous South sup
porting them, to keep abolition agitation out
Of Congress, by the 2lst rule. 1t has been
incompetent to give the South equal rights
in California. 1t has been incompetent tc
secure TO the South tho recovery of her fu
lgitiye slaves in the North, and it has beer
incompetent TO give the South fair play il
Kansas. But for adyentitious circumstances
such as Mr.. FilImore's being supported BY
the North, in the late Presidential election
it would have utterly failed to prevent III
election of a sectional anti.slarery Presi
dent.

STAND no YOuR GUNS!

Our opponents evidently think they have
nothing more to do than to shout themselves
hoarse with triumphant JOY over the treas
ury defalcations. "Now," say they, "Ohio
will once moro fall into our clutches. Once
more We will put in Office such men as
Breslin; such robbers as the State House
commissioners; such thieves as the men
who built the Asylum at Newburgh.'-
These scoundrels robbed Ohio of more than
MILLION! How their righteous souls re-
joice at the prospect of getting Ohio once
more into their power. We will give to
these impatient souls short piece of ad-
vice, free; gratis; for nothing; without pay.
1t is this-don't count your chickens before
they are Matched! Full many a hen was
born to set on added eggs and hatch moth
ing after all her tribulation.
To our republican friends we say, be not
cast down with over much sorrow. In a
strong agitation the scum will of course rise
to the top. But this will be purifying
process. Make no excuses for anybody's
political sins. 1t has been characteristic o
republicans hitherto to condemn with un
sparing severity those from among them
selves who depart from the faith. Let it b.
so still. Wherever the fault belongs, ther'
lay the blame. Above all, have unshakel
faith in the great principles which, as re
publicans, you have professed. Remembe
that freedom is to be made the policy Q
this nation. Remember that Ohio is not t
be made a hunting ground for fugitives
whose only crime is that they desire tn
right to own themselves. Remember tha
the agreement with death and the compac
with hell, which the democratic party hay
entered into for the support and spread {
slavery, must be broken up. Have faith j
the right and stand to your guns.

June 18th was the forty-eighth annivcrs-

and as many readers may have never seen
or may have forgotten the form and manner
Of tho Declaration, we copy it as matter OF
curiosity to such as these; t

DEAD AT LAsT.-Thc Syracuse Journal
mentions the death of JOHN ELLIS, of Hen
rietta, N. Y. whose case has often been re-
ferred to by the newspapers. 1t will be re-
membered that he attempted to commit SUI
icide on the night of March 3lst, and that
he severed his windpipe but did not succeed
in killing himself In this condition he ex.
isted for ooer eighty days, taking, during
that time, not particle of nourishment.-
We submit, that this is one of tho strangesi
cases on record. Eighty days fast is al
achievement to which we did not suppose
humanity was equal.

The Right Kind OF Talk.

We find in the Cincinnati Commercial
of yesterday a report of a meeting held in
Cedarville, Ohio, June 9th, the object of
the meeting being "to give an expression of
feeling and opinion in relation to the trial
of Sheriff LOWS, and occurrences Herewith" ;"
The following resolutions were reported by
committee appointed for the purpose and
adopted:
WHEREAS, The bill of rights securing to
the citizens of Ohio life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, seems, in our judg-
ment, to have been disregarded by the Mar
sbal acting in behalf of the Federal Courts,
and whereas, our highly esteemed and very
worthy citizen, Gen. d. Lewis, Sheriff Of
this county, has been arrested under the
charge of illegally intcrcepting due process
of law, when, in fact, he was only discharg-
ing his official duty with fidelity; therefore
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Co.
darville and vicinity, Greene county, Ohio,
not only approve, but most heartily COM
mend the official conduct of Gen. D. Lewis,
in his prompt and manly arrest of the Mar
shals of the Federal court for their wan
ton violation of the constitution and laws
of this Commonwealth.
Resolued, That in tho attempt, now
seemingly being made to compel the citi-
zens of the sovereign State of Ohio to aid
and assist Shareholders to keep their fellow
men in bondage, we have no sympathy, but
utterly repudiate any such tyranical and op.
pressive compulsion.
Resolved, That we arc ready, and here
by express our determination, to stand by
and assist our patriotic and faithful Office
in any responsibility, pecuniary or other
wise, he may have incurred in the aboy'
stated promises.
j Resolved, That we deeply dcpreciate an,
intrusion upon the right of ha5eas corpus
and will to the last, in any lawful way nee
essary, defend and maintain its due and ID
gitimate exercise, as secured to us by tn
Constitution of the United States, as we
as that of our own State.
Resolved, That the proceedings and reso
lutions of this meeting be published in th
county papers and Cincinnati Commercial

Of course there is but ono sum paid, the
object being 10 make the State whole.
Judge Bates on the assembling Of the
Court Of Common Pleas, and on the com
pletion of the panel of the Grand Jury
charged them as to their general duty, that
by them all criminal proceedings were to
be initiated and specially called their atten.
ton to tho public security, which required
their vigorous and earnest consideration.
They had doubtless heard of the recent
loss Of tho public money, and il became
their duty to make proper inquiry as to any
embezzlement, and, without respect to per
sons or party, indict the guilty.

Grand Jury, viz:

About kansas.

We had tho pleasure of call yesterday
from Hon. John f. Potter, our member Of
Congress elect who has just returned from
Kansas where he has been spending some
time, In order TO learn from personal obser-
walton, the workings Of various political
matters there. He returns thoroughly sat
istied that the course taken by the Free
State men in disregarding the late Bogus
election, was the only proper one for them
to pursue. From the best information he
was able to obtain the Territory contains a
population Of nearly, if not quite, 10000
and as the proportion Of adult males in
such a territory is largely in excess, the rid
icnlous,y small vote polled by the Border
Ruffian party and the "Walker Democrats" |"
some 1900 or 1000, shows where the vote
will be, when fair vote can be held, open
TO tho Free State men. At Lawrence, no
poll was held at all, the bogus officer sent tc
conduct it, not being able to find place tc
hold tho poll in, or man TO vote. Gov
Walker rolled up his eyes in sanity aston
ishment at tho 'lack Of interest,"" as he ex
pressed il, shown by the Free State mon il
the election. The Governor is trying I
play fast and iooso between the two partie.
