Psetbyterisn Minister suspend

The Presbytery of Miami, at its re.
cent meeting in Dayton, having sustained
a charge with its several specifications,
previously tabled, against the Rev. 81.
neon Brown, adopted the following
resolution as its sentence !:
RESOLVED, That said Rev. simeon
Brown be, and hereby is, suspended
from the exercise of the gospel ministry,
as in the judgment Of this Presbytery,
disqualified by his errors, to expound
the doctrines of Gods work, and admin
lister the ordinances of the gospel in ac-
cordauce with the doctrinal standards of
the Presbyterian Church of the United
States of America, until he gives salts
factory evidence of repentance"
In passing the resolution there was
but one negative vote, which was cast by
Mr.. Joseph Anderson, Ruling Elder Of
the Lebanon Church, Of which Mr..
Brown is pastor. The suspended min.
lister, we understand, believe in a gener.
al atonemcnt, which is contrary to the
views of his Church; the latter teach
ing in effect, hat Christ died only for
those who shall be saved. Mr.. Brown
proposes to carry the case before the
General Assembly, which meets in the
Spring, and in the meantime be will sub
NIT to the decision of the Presbytery.
He is sustained by his Church at Lee

Sad Effects of Fool-Hardiness-
A Mans Feet Frozen Of.

On the night of the l4th inst, a man
by the name of Fornee, living near Mil
tonsburg, in this county. had bis feet
frozen until they will probably have to
be taken off. He was about five miles
from home and bet dollar that he could
go home barefoot He accordingly
stripped off his shoes and socks, aud
started at about 10 o'clock at night
He says that during the first half mile
his feet became very cold ; after that
they commenced burning. When about
half way home, he slipped about SO that
be could scarcely make any progress, and
putting his hands to his feet found they
were as hard as stone, He got home at
about | o'clock, without having stepped
on the way. When walking on the floor
his tread made about the same noise as
if he were wearing wooden shoes.
The bottoms of his feet and all the
skin to his ankles came OF when they
thawed. 1t is probable that his feet
will both have to be taken off. It is
said tina: he was perfectly sober at the
time, aud that he is not wanting III
common sense, aside from his fool-hardi.

What the Presidential Election
has Settled.

After one of the most extraordinary
struggles (says the Belfast Free Press
ever witnessed by the civilized world,
ously triumphed. Our eagles glitter in
the bright beams of the sun. and our
flags proudly'wave, with never a star
struck from their ample folds. The Uni
on is still a thing of life. 1t is not only
perpetuated in marble, in brass, and in
poetry, but as a living principle, a bind
ing obligation held to be sacredly i'm
posed upon the entire nation. The sec.
tional party which rallied under the
name of republican" is not merely
beaten it is anihilated. The presiden-
tial election has settled many of the
most important principles since the gov
eminent was formed.
It has consolidated and eternized the
Union of the States.
1t has crushed forever all secret polit-
ical societies. -l
1t has spoken peace to the adopted
citizen and words of welcome to the un-
friended but meritorious immigrant.
1t has Numbered forth to the ears of
spiritual tyrants our glorious creed of
religious liberty.
1t has again rebuked the political
priesthood of the country, and trampled
into tae dust the new attempt at union
of church and State. 1t has hurled
from the lap of the nation the rubbish of
sumptuary Legislation, prescribing what
we shall eat, what we shall drink, and
wherewithal we shall be clothed.
1t has enuuciated in the most solemn
manner the doctrine of self-government
as applicable to States and Territories
1t has spurned the treason and the
traitors of 1856.
It has consigned the Wilson's and the
Bankses, and Hales and Wades, to an
infamous notoriety.
It has strengthened the hands of the
friends of freedom wherever its spirit il
felt or its blessings desired.
1t has enhanced the glory and pros.
perity of the nation almost beyond con.
ception. sd a, ,i,f5
It has given Importance to every in.
dividual in the republic, because he j.
now looked upon as q citizen Of the
great country and not Of a fragment Of
the Union.
The people should celebrate this great
unspeakable victory, $ a now declara'
ton of independence, with shouts, witt
bon-ires, by ringing bells, by mutual
congratulation, by thanksgiving, and by
a sincere acknowledgment to. an over
ruling Providence.

Kansas.

We are glad that the Free State
Legislature has adjourned. Elected
without law, they should have had the
good sense not to meet, knowing that
their attempting to do SO would be the
signal for the renewal of hostilities there.
Gov. Robinson, feeling it in his boues
that be would be arrested tiff they met,
took to his heels a few days in advance
of the time set for their meeting, and
Lit. Gov. Roberts, very prudent'y staid
away. There is such a thing as run
ming a good cause into the ground. and
it looks to us as though some of the
Free State men in Kansas and elsewhere
were trying to do SO just now, with the
cause of Freedom in Kansas. It is ad-
mitted among Free State men every
where that Gov. Geary is doing as we'll
as he can for them, yet they do not seem
willing to let well enough alone, but
would provoke him to take sides with
the Border Rufians.
The above article is from the Holmes
County Republican of last week. Its
greatly in contrast with the agonizing
tones which that paper harped upon
bleeding Kansas" last fall before the
election. Then it advocated the admis
sion of Kansas into the Union under
the Topeka OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES eve
nv revolutionary movement of the Abo-
~lltionists in the Territory-and supper
ted the claims of this very Free State
legislature" which it now admits was
{ elected WITHOUT Law, and says, should
have had good sense not to meet" 1t
it had not the honesty and regard for
truth then to say, that the Free State
men IN Kansas and eLsea0here (alias
Black Republicans acre trying to rnn
the cause of freedom INFO the ground.
Before the election, that paper, in
common with the whole Black Republi-
can party, denounced the course of Pres
ident Pierce and Governor Geary, and
uttered the cry in almost every issue
that the election of James Buchanan to
the Presidency would inevitably doom
Kansas to slavery-that the election of
Fremont was the only possible remedy
to make it a Free State but now, with
~undaunted ~efrnntery and GOODNESS, makes
the acknowledgement that-"It is ad-
mitted among Free State men every
where that Gov. Geary is doing as we'll
as he can for them i" Thus how differ
ent the song in the lapse of "a few
months. Then, votes were wanted, and
brazen f~alsehoods we're circulated to de-
ceive the masses. So we informed the
public al the time, for which all man
ner of abuse and scandal was heapedu up
on Us.
Now, since Buchanan is elected, Kan
sas is all right, and in the enjoyment of
peace, harmony and prosperity. The
Black Republicans have nothing to gain
by reiterating their old Kansas lies, and
the people are having a wholesome YER
iication of the truths told them by the
Observation-Disclosures Co.. Farmer.

THE LEersLArURE.

The General Assembly appear to be
making some changes-or, more proper.
ly speaking, some mutilations-of for
mer statutes; but we do not discover
anything that looks like the amend
ments or reforms that were so freely
promised when the Republican party
wanted the votes.
Our colored friends appear to have
sponged up all the loose change around
the State Treasury, and were, at the
last accounts, directing their attention
to matters beyond their Jurisdiction.
They have assumed a sort of protector
ate over Kansas, Central America and
Switzerland. Whether they expect to
find money in the Treasures of those for
eign countries sufficient to indemnify
them for their labor, does not appear
from their record. It may be that they
have undertaken these invasions into
Kansas and countries beyond the seas,
for the purpose of demonstrating to the
people of Ohio the necessity for an ex-
traordinary session of this extraordinary
General Assembly. Who knows? It
is expected of the voters that they will
give their exclusive attention to outside
affairs, and the African population, and
Ohio matters, and the interests

SENATOR PUGH ON CIVIL LIBER-
TY.

We invite the attention of our read
ers to the debate in the U. 8. Senate on
the bill more e~fectually to enforce the
attendance of witnesses before either
House of Congress, sc.
The object sought to be obtained by
the bill was undoubtedly good one-but
in the eagerness to meet a pressing
emergency, there were inserted in it pro-
visions which would arm a Committee
of Congress with despotic powers. Mr..
PUeH, solitary and alone, made issue
with his colleagues; and, although de-
feated in numbers, he stands right upon
the record, and right before the coun-
try.
Mr.. PUGH is daily adding fresh lau-
rels to those which adorn his brow. He
entered the Senate with a reputation as
a brilliant orator-but during his brief
career in that body he has won the rank
of A STATESMAN. He is yet, we believe,
upon the threshold of his usefulness and
his fame.
The Portage Sentinel well says OF
him:
Hon. George e. Pugh.
It is with honest pride that the De.
mocracy of Ohio look to the conduct
and career of our United States Sena.
tor, GEO. E. PUeH. Though the young.
est member Of the Senate, he displays
an ability and depth of thought equal
to the first among the venerable aud ex
perienced Statesmen of the time. A.
an orator he has but few equals; as g
thorough laborer for the public good
and welfare, he is earnest and constant
The people Of Ohio may well be proud
of him. He is the only Democratic
Representative in Congress from Ohio
but We are not therefore, without a trut
representation. He watches over the
interests of the State with constant Wig
lance, defending her rights and her in
tegrity from all reproach. High ant
honorable as is his present position, there
is a higher one beyond, which We hop,
he is destined to fill.
