MICHIGAN MAN DRIVEN OUT OF

Mr.. Moses c. Church, young man. formerly
of Michigan, but lately in the employ Of his uncle
Harvey Hale of Columbus, Georgia has been
driven away from that place by Hale for the
offence Of writing a letter to his father in which
the following sentiments appeared:

ing the State, he would got more votes than many
suppose.
Another four years will see great changes
throughout the entire South. All this talk about
dissolying the Union, if Fremont is elected is
nothing but SO much gas. The working non
slaveholding mechanics, and others who are de-
pendent upon their daily labor for their support
feel sorely the competition Of unpaid labor, and
they do not hesitate to say that they would vote
for Fremont if they had chance. AS voters, they

From the Paris International, November o.

The United States are, for the next four years

Mr.. Buchanan is for the Fugitive Slave bill. Are
the Yankees anxious to annex Cuba ?-well, Mr..
Buchanan grows eloquent in favor of the scheme
AT one time an anti-Engsh feeling appeared to

not Mr.. Buchanan the leading figure in this anti
British demonstration? To counteract the senti-
mentalism of the North-the Sruth having a ma
jority in the Senate-to call aloud for annexation
in short, to watch the shifting passions of his
countrymen, and to profit by them-such is the
splendid craftsmanship of the man to whom the
Americans have committed the administration oil

NEGRO STEALING IN INDIANA.
New ALBANY, Indiana, Dec. 2, 1856

NEW ALBANY, Indiana, Dec z, 1896.
Among some of the slaves about the city OF
Louisville, and indeed throughout the neighburing
Counties the Canada fever seems to be raging. 1t
often happens that some of these 'chattes getting
tired OF being whipped and beaten, conclude that
God gave them hands TO work for themselves. And
seeing that their masters have by nature the same
component parts (hearts excepted) the thought al
so strikes them, that they too were designed 10 do
their own labor. If Nature had designed them
for Shareholders why have they not OK gads where
their arms grow? Perhaps some of these slaves
more fortunate than their brethren of the cotton
fields, have learned to read the Bible, and have
been astonsheG at finding it is not written "Nig-
gers shall earn the bread Of white by the sweat
of their brows"
AT any rate, ever and anon some of them con-
clude to emigrate 1t so happens that this New
Albany and Salem Railroad forms connecting
link from the Ohio to the lakes. Like men Of
sense they prefer riding to walking The reader
can easily put these facts together and see what
they will make
Monroe County, Indiana, there is little village
called Smthvlle Here bard of villains have
organized themselves into a company, for the pur
pose of stopping those who are fleeing for liberty
They discard even the Fugitive Slave Law, and
forcibly seize upon their victims and bear them of
hastily and stealthly at night Whether they
cODtne their labors to the fugitive slave Is more
than can tell. but it is presumable that those in
the city OF Louisville who pay them would not
care once in a while to receive a freeman. He
would be pure gain. These negro-stealers are
animated by the same motives as the pirate or the
high ayman. If the fugitive must be returned,
cannot it be done will, at least as much decency as
the Fugitive Slave law guarantees? Will the peo-
pie OF Indiana submitH Is not the stigma OF
having given a larger proportion of her votes to
Buchanan than any other Free State enough, with.
out bearing off the palm by nesting within her
midst these men who act upon her soil the Same
part that blood hounds do in Georgia?
Two of the gang have been arrested for kidnap
ping, and may 60 to the State Prison. But tht

Whether they will be permitted to continue is t.

IN the cabinet he will find himself in the presence
OF elements against which rhetoric is powerless.

From L'Assemblee Rationale.
Mr.. Buchanan was the candidate Of the democ
racy We have no wish to dispute this title with
him but 1t will be easy to show that the party,
whose representative he has consented to become,
possesses only the vices and the name of democ-
racy and that the pretended democrats who have
carried him into Gower have done nothing more
for quarter of century at least, than establish
in the heart Of the Republic of the United States
an ogarehy in favor of, and for the greater secu-
rity Of, the Shareholders.
Some OF Mr.. Buchanan's friends are now ut
tempting to shift from his shoulders the respon-
sibity of the Ostend Manifesto. In that transac-
ton, they sayhe erred only in yielding too readily
10 tue persuasons OF Mr., Pierre SDue, the enfdnt
terrible OF American diplomacy. They almost 60
50 far as to make him say that he signed il, acont
readingu. They forget that the transaction is in
accordance with the whole public life of the new
President career pledged from the outset to
the famous Monroe doctrine, construed in its most
liberal sense ought logically to arrive at con-
cusion like this. Otherwise, what excuse is there
for man called to the Presidency of great
republic, to plead that he attached his name to a
transaction of this nature, to an undoubed "flli-
clustering manifesto" without knowing its pur-
port?
The nnme of the new President can be received
in Europe only with dstrust, and his triumph will
afford satisfaction to no Our democrats IN st
be acknowledged feel some shame at seeing their
banner associated with that of slavery and dare
not rejoice at victories obtained at such price
On the other hand We are very apt to consider
that we have too little interest in what passes in
America to concern ourselves much with the con
sequences which may possibly result from an ap
plication of the principles Of the Ostend Manifesto
but the election of man whose claims rest upon
this audacious denial of rght-ths doctrine which
makes one believe that the government Of America
has reverted to the savages-can afford to al
honest men, who have any selfrespect, only sub
ject for scandal and regret.

THE APPROACHING CAMPAIGN.

The symptoms of the coming election are
fast developing and the candidates begin to
multiply and start into view The claims
and merits of the various aspirants are being
daily discussed with interest, and much specu-
laton is INDUCED in regard to nominations
We therefore deem it proper to submit the fol-
lowing suggestions to those of the Democratic
faith who desire to become standard bearers
in the next campaign. Harmony and union
is strength in the Democracy, against which
all the combined efforts of its adversaries can
not prevail. The proper course for Democrat
aspirant is to pre-determine to enter the race,
subject under all circumstances to the will of
the party expressed through its Conventions ;
and in case they reject his application, to cheer
fully submit fall into ranks, shoulder the mus
ket, and do his utmost for the great and good
cause.
If the Democratic party decline to put you
in the lead, or at the wheel, why get behind
and push with might and main. For it is bet
ter to be Democratic private, fighting in that
noble cause, than to be President of the United
States on the opposition ticket But if set
aside or failing to be nominated, never allow
chagrn or revenge, that most miserable of hu-
man passions, to get the better of duty and
judgment, and lead you to appeal for redress
to the adversary, or to macontent selfstyled
Independents In fit of choler the great
Napoleon deprived General Victor of his COM
mand in the "Old Guard" The gallant and
patriotic soldier who had never succumbed to
an enemy was not to be overcome by mortif-
cation or even disgrace. The cause of France
was far dearer to him than self So cheerfuly
acquiescing, he seized the musket, became and
fought as private in the ranks of his beloved
corps. Suppose he had acted as some do in
political warfare, and gone over to the enemy
His treason might have been rewarded with
fortune and influential position. He might
have labored all in his power to injure his for
mer cause, or with curses upon his tongue, and
revenge in his heart, he might have raised in
dependent and Ishmaelitish hands against both
contending parties, and especially the one he
had abandoned. BY neither of these courses
would the passion of his soul-the cause Of his
country-have been advanced On the con-
trary, it would have been imperilled, at least
as far as his personal efforts could do so. lie
adopted the true and patriotic course and sets
us an example worthy of imitation and of easy
application to Democrats. Its lesson is pa
tent and instructive. Our candidates should
profit by it, and remember there is little mag
nanimity in attempting to dash to atoms the
party that champions the temporal welfare of
man, in order to crafty personal spleen or
mortified vanity.

Our State is again threatened with the impo-

have so unequivocsly pronounced in favor of
the Democratic creed, are again to be cajoled
in fippant and high sounding bombast; again
to be supercously told, that their oft declared
favorte the Democracy, are not the people,
nor perhaps, part of them, but foes, who
against their consent have imposed upon them
disagreeable and undesired yoke. As if the
acts of the Democracy were not initiated, ap-
proved and ratified by the very source which
delegated them-the people themselves. Z
Are Californians so irretentive of memory as
to have forgotten the cheap and sonorous pro-
fessions of " Reform" dinned with industrious
glibness into their ears, two short years ago
