Mr.. EDITOR: Considerable interest was
manifested by our citizens some days since,
in consequence of supposed case of acci-
dental poisoning. John Fisher and several
members of his family we're suddenly taken
sick. and showed symptoms such as usually
follow the internal use of arsenic. Happily
there was TO fatal result. and it is qui &c
probable that their indisposition arose from
some other source. 1t was surmised by some
that the sickness was caused by drinking
water from ne ighboring well, near which
arsenic had been placed to DESTROY rats
some Of which had likely found their way
into the well. But this supposition would
seem to be controdicted, by the fact that
several other families had used water from
the same well quite as freely with no sucI
unpleasant consequences. However it NAV
serve as warning TO use poisonous articles
with care.
During these latter DAYS the clouds have

wise God the relation which has SO long,
and so happily existed between our beloved
pastor and ourselves, has been dissolved
And Whereas. We acknowledge acquies,

The True Issue

The Democracy with characteristic trick
cry are laboring hard TO draw the RePub-
lican party from the true issue, and TO pre-
judice the minds Of the people from the truth
by such arguments as the following. The
negroes are 10 sit as jurors 'hare the right
TO vote and ARE TO be elected to Office ard
CAPTAIN Heaton says: are to have the priv
ilege of marrying his daughters. BY the
way Captain, is there so much danger Of
this as to require a law prohib:tisg it! The
statesman together with some of the leading
Democratic Speakers of the State, have as
serted that there were but two questions to
be decided in this fall election, and that
these were. Shall the negroes be made our
equaIsl and shall they be permitted TO sri
as Jurors, and hold oficel Now one or two
things is certain. either they are dishonest
and purposelv misrepresent the true case, or
they are grossly ignorant, of the great issues
of the day. To acknowledge the first is 20
place them in the category of knaues, and to
acknowledge the latter is to place them in
the category of fools. The first is criminal,
the last is Goolshly Inconsistent with COM
mon sense, and both together is sufficient,
10 detract from them he confidence OF the
people, and disqualiy them for the high po-
sitions they seek to assume.
Whatever may be the principles of indi-
viduals acting with the Republican party,
and whatever may have been advanced by
certain pub lie men, yet it matters not, the
party is not responsible foT any belief un-
less what is migrated into our platform OF
principles. Now we challenge the opposi-
tion to prove from tie platform OF the Re-
publican party, that either Of the above az
guments are SO much as eRdorsed by the
party. Upon the Slavery question, the party
has new er assumed any authority moi grant
ed in the Constitut ion. upon the rights Q;
tlt CO'OiCu ldOCJ thCy ho'S nSsci hHuC 10
sue. If the above statement be correct,
why did not the party make these laws
during the last meeting OF the Legislature,
surely they had the power.
Above all things, we like honesty, we are
willing to meet the opposition on such
terms, confident of the success of OH
cause, truth must prevail, and although the
opposition seek to keep the people in ignor-
ance, thereby hoping to secure their own
bliss, yet the truth will out. The people
will yet throw off the sbackIes Of party pre-
judice, and come out from among the couI
party.

Mr.. EDIToR: Did you know there was
such ace as Rock Hill, in Belmont coun-
ty! Well there is, and we are progressive
people that live here-a reading thinking
people. Our town will compare farorably
with Mount Olivet' and many other places.
from which you receive communications.
Now if an article from those places, can be
made interesting, why not from here. Blu,
no! they had something TO write about;
Edith stated that Mount Olivet and Olive
Hill were one and the same place-tha,
they had at one tine a Post Office by the
latter name, but had become extinct, E.

tunatel ly none Of our citlz lis indulge to an
excess Were 1t not for Aaron what few
SUI kers we have would be compelled to do
without, or travel away down to Loydsvlle,
or some place else.
But to return TO our village,-we feel II
our duty to enlghten our neIg hb0rs with
regard to Rock Hill.-The Post Olfice is
not the only interest we have, the Elections
for Flushing township are held here and
of one thing we can boast, that we can poll
the largest number ol Republican votes OF
any township in the county in proportion to
our number. dosen't that louk like intelii-

The Trust ComnanY.

The suspentien of the Life and Trust
Company, has created panic all over the
length and breadth of the land. AS dark
ness follows the setting sun, so did-for
the time, terror follow close ons the wake
the report Of this failure. No Con pany
perhaps ever possessed so fully the uuimit-
ed confidence of the monetary world, and
correspondingly great was the panic &C.
casioned BY the failure. The excitement
come like fash and is likely for time to
create depression that will be an injury

is probably deeper involved than any other
State is likely to be made sure. TIE New
York Herald says that the probability is,
that the Company will be able TO meet all
liabilities BE this as it may, it is very
unfortunate for the country, and Company

YThe following from the NeD York
Times, gives a very correct expose of one
of the various excuses advanced to shield
Gov. WALKER.
The telegraph not long since reported
that Gov. Walker bad handed over to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
and the President of the Council, the dutv
OF making the new appointment far men,
bcrs of the Legislature. We have ava tied
fur her advices before making this report a
matter of comment. Our correspondent
admits that the apPor,ionment has been
badly made, and sends the following para
graph from the National Democrat, by way
of explanation and apology:
'sTiis apportionmt MT was made in pun
suance of law by tie Speaker of the House
and President of the Council. IF this ap-
portiunment was not made by the Governor
of the Territory on or before Ike first Of June,
1857 the duty was devulvee BY law on the
above named officers. This new law with
others, MAS sent, as required by law. to the
city of St. Louis to be printed in pamphlet
form, and no copy reached Governor Walker
until about the middle Of June, ,uheu his pou-
er TO make The apportionment had ceased, nor
did he hnoiU til then of ats eriNence At the
earliest moment he SEM copy of the law
to the proper Officers. The apportionment
was received BY Gov Walker on Saturday
the 18th inst''
Erporapcp If ~ he
law is thus pleaded on Gov Walkers be-
half, as an excuse for bis neglect of this
most important and vital duty. 1t is one
which we cannot for moment admit. Gov.
Walker has given the most emphatic and
satisfactory assurances to the people of
Kansas that their right of sovereignty
should be secured to them-that every voter
should have fair chauce to deposit his bal
lot--aEd that the whole people should be
fairly presented in the Legislature
Thousands Of his political opponents trust
ed to his promises, and gave him their sup
port. They now find themselves betrayed
and virtually stripped of their power by an
unfair and unjust apportionment. They
will naturally charge upon Gov. Walker a
violation of his pledge and the betrayal OF
their rights. Nor will they be content with
the excuse that he was not aware that he
had the power to fulfill the promises which
he had made. Ignorance of the law is nev-
er allowed as a valid excuse to any person
charged with its violation least of all can
it be received as sufficient apology from g
high official, for neglect of duty in so i'm
purtant matter as this.
