MEETINGS IN CoLUMBIANA couNTY.-Tbe series
OF meetings announced in our last for the Messrs.
Holidays, Harmon Bealer and Reuben Erwin were
very successful meetings as we have been inform
ed. They were well attended in humble RS which
was hardly to be expected just on the eve of tho
election when even anti-slavery Republicans are
in the habit of praying the abolitionists to depart
out OF their coasts, or at least not to come into it
until after Chase is elected" Besides meetings
at Cold Spring, Fairfield and Middleton, our
friends also held a meeting at Washingtonville, a
place noted Tor its Indifference and opposition to
all earnest and effective anti-slavery. There they
received the hearty support and cooperation Of
Rev. Mr.. Wagner Of the Lutheren Church and
also received there, as from all the other places, ur-
gent invitations to return and repeat their labors
on the slaves behalf. : These volun teer laborers
are %usefully d~evoting their energies to the good
cause.

A LOVER ELoPINa WITH 5000 IN GOLD.
"A German with his son arrived in Phila-
delphia, not long since, from the Old coun-
try, the father having $4,000 in gold. The
son became acquainted with a young girl,
with rosy cheeks. q fine form, and -
knowledge OF the millinery business, and
resolved to marry her, and made his intcn-
ton known to his father. Forthwith a
scene ensued, and the elder Of the two ut
once refused his assent, and advised his son
to take time to jeliberate-to consider that
the girl was poor, and to wait. The father
left his undutiful son in charge of the 49,
900. and started for Pittsburg on trip Of
pleasure. While he was gone, and on the
18th Of September, his dutiful child took the
$4,000 and Disappeared leaving behind him
a letter stating that he would return, if tie
old gentleman would consent to the match
aud give him $4,000 to start with in the
world, otherwise both he and the money
would remain non est. The father returned
from Pittsburg, found the letter, and found
himself enraged. Forthwith he visited the
girl, who denied any accurate knowledge OF
the whereabouts Of the fugitive. At last &C
counts the police were on the lookout for
the lover, but he has been secreted away by
his lady love and cannot be found.

HEAVY Cosrs.-The American Trust Com
pany in New York-an institution similar TO
the Ohio Life & Trust Company failed in
1857. and its affairs were put into the hands
of Trustees for liquidation. 1t has been in
volved for twenty years in all sorts Of ltiga
ton with creditors and debtors, which the
Trustees-being lawyers-have evinced no
great desire to avoid or cut short. 1t APP
pears there have been actually paid out tor
costs. counsel fees, and other legal expenses,
up to the LIST day of May last. the sum of
$l93.5l2 50; that other expenses of the same
kind have been incurred. and which remain
upaid, to the amount of the s5l 900. 1t was
also stated that the special receiver, Mr.. Pal
mere, lad paid out for costs, &c, over s52.-
90. The amount paid and incurred by the
general receiver, representing only the ex-
penses of ono side to multiplicity of law
suits, it may safely be assumed that an equal
amount has been incurred oy the parties or
the other side, and that the litigation grow
ing ont of the affairs of the Trust Company
has already cost sum exceeding half mill
lion Of dollars. While the lawyers have
been gathering so rich harvest. the creditors
have been fed ION hopes deferred"

METHODIST AND SLAvERY.-The diff
ferent Conferences Of the Methodist
Church of Indiana appear to be mailing
a concerted and simultaneous movement
upon the subject Of slavery. The North.
west Indiana Conference recently in ses-
sion at Lafayette. unanimously adopted
the following declarations in regard to
slavery. We are waiting to see with
how much holiness and courage Old
Line Democracy will assail these profess
sions of faith upon sectional question
by the Church. Dare the Democratic
party oppose and defy the power of the
Methodist Church in Indiana, and de-
nounce its movements as gratultuous and
sectional?
We believe it to be our Christian duty as O
Church OF the true and living God, to bear
t stimony on all proper occasions against
national as we'll as individual sins, and es-
peeally against the enormity of American
Slavery-an institution which our beloved
and immortal John Wesley characterized a.
''the vilest that ever saw the sum-" and u,
.'the sum of AL villanics," denouncing slave
dealers "a ''man stealers, the worst o.
thieves" in comparison of whom, "highwa.
robbers and house breakers are comparative
~ Innocent"
Aud whereas, the Methodist Conference o
1850, acting under q sense of their solemn
duty, proclaimed that Slavery is contrar,
to the laws OF God. man and nature; hurttu
to society; contrary to the dictates Of con
| science and pure religion;''
| And whereas, the Conference Of 11S5 de
clared: 1--WE hold in the deepest abhorrenc
the practice of Slavery. and shall not ceas
TO seek its destruction by all wise md pru
dent means" Therefore be it
ResolUed. By this annual Conference, tina
we approve and adopt as our own, Ties
truly Just and christian sentiments Of TN
early and well beloved Fathers Of on
| Chur,h.
| ResoLred. That. entertaining these views
we shall continue Ito cry aloud and spar
not" until our Church shall be tally reliev
ed from all completely in this ''sum Of al
villainies."

GOLD is selling in Louisville for 3 and

per. In Cincinnati it is from 8 to Z per

Chicago it is fom 10 to IL per cent. In
St. Louis IT is as high and scarce. Does
not this state of affairs exhibit virtual

no longer the standard nor the currency.

DIsTREss AT THE EAsT.-The closing
OF the factories in New England present
painful prospects to the laboring classes
in that section Of the country. They are
being deprived of employment and the
means Of living by hundreds and thou
sands. The Fall River (Mass,) Star.
speaking Of the unemployed operatives
in that large manufacturing town. says:
"Whole families are suffering for bread
the fathers willing and eager to work,
but nothing to do. We have heard tales
of distress that would bring tears to the
eyes Of the most indifferent. These PEG.
pie must have bread or starve, and this
is not community to allow the latter"
This is too gloomy, altogether. Other
papers present equally gloomy pictures
and forebodings. One mill has been
stopped at Lowell that employed 73C
females and 575 males, who were ak dis
charged in one day without warning, ir
consequence of the sudden suspension o
the principal ugent.

GA gentleman who returned on
Tueday from several weeks excursion
through Illinois and Iowa, says the
wheat on every route he travelled still
remains in stack. He thinks scarcely
one farmer in fifty has thrashed more
wheat than for his own use. As there
are few or no barns or graneries to store
j. after threshing. it is left in stack till
the farmers are prepared to send it to
market, and the traveller can easily esti-
mate the extent of the sales our friend
thinks that nineteen twentieths of the
wheat crop in Iowa and illinois is still
in the sheaf. The prevailing prices at
towns on the Upper Mississippi have
been from so to 60 cents. In the inte-
rior places from As to so cents. But
since the panic reached those regions,
sales are difficult at any price for cash.
The farmers are less in debt than the
mechanics and towns people, and the ma
jority can and will hold on to their
crops.

Sad Result OF Crue, Puntshment.


A friend has given US the following
painful and interesting narrative, the
finale Of which he witnessed in an al
joining State. The heart Of every man
will declare that the heartless parent
should be doomed to the lingerging con-
finement in the cell in place of the unfor-
tunate boy:
Some three or four years ago, the son Of the
Warden of prison in u neighboring Stat.
"a bright, Intelligent, handsome boy OF,
seventeen-was detected by his father in the
commission of an offence, for which he no
doubt merited and should have received an
application of the rod from the hands of the
parent. The father, however. instead of ap-
plying the punishment usual in such cases of
youthful delinquency, arraigned his child,
stripped him of his ordinary clothing. shaved
the hair from his head and" dressed him in
the striped garb of a convict, confined him
within the walls of the penitentiary-th there to
remain until the unnatural parent should see
proper to release him. For weeks, the boy.
unable TO help himself, underwent the rigid
discipline of the prison, and performed the
dnties assigned to the convicts the most hu
initiating and degrading OF which was to APP
pear in the public thoroughfares of his ma
tive town and assist with team engaged in
hauling. Citizens shook their heads, an
| public eYecration towards the Warden be-
came 30 strong and decided, that he wa.
compelled 1t once 70 restore his son to libcr-
ty, and he came very near being turned out
of office.
AS soon as released, the dishonored boy
broken in pride AMI spirit, fled from his
home and Cor a long while nothing was heard
OF him, until at length he turned up in the
California courts accused of burglary. He
was acquitted, and about year since re
turned to the Atlantic States-going from
one to another of our large cities, and plung-
ing in every species of dissipation and vice
A few months since he was arrested ia one
of our principal cities for arson and robbery
had his trial and recei we'd for his sentence
ten years solitary confinement in the peni-
tentiary-and but last week he vas brough'

SLAVERY IN OREGON Constitu-

and it is reported that decided majority
Of the members Of the Convention are IN
favor Of Constitution admitting sla, cry.
While the country is almost ready for
civil war to arrest the introduction OF
slavery into Kansas, it is likely quietly
to slip into Oregon; and if it once gets .
foothold in Oregon. it will be difficult to
keep it out Of California.

Jupers OF THE SUPREME CouRr.-w

JupeEs OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-We
have regretted the movement Of the Re
publicans to elect Judges of the Supreme
Court, without the formal sanction OF
Che Executive. Though the conduct of
the Governor ba an outrage upon the
rights Of the people, with the uuustifi-
able design Of usurping power himself
for some personal or party purpose; yet
it Will be better to suffer the wrong and
leave him to the reprobation Of the people
than incur the dangers and evils of con-
hict between rivalclaimants 10 seats in the
Court. The nominees Of the Republican
convention Will be elected by the defaults
Of the Democrats to take part in the
election. But Governor Willard will re
fuse to commission them, and will ap-
point others to the vacant seats, which
will involve contest, to be decided by
the Court itself, and the Court in decid-
ing it will become implicated in bitter
party contest, that will impair its influ-
ence, and. perhaps, destroy its moral
power with q large body of the people.
The loss Of authority and respect by our
highest judicial tribunal, will be one OF
the saddest calamities that can afflict a
State-to be deplored by every good
citizen. Any lighter evil ought to be
endured rather than incur so great an
one.
The candidates nominated are repre-
sented as men Of eminent qualifications,
who would do honor to the station. But
an attempt to elect them must end in a
farce or entail serious misfOrtunes upon
the state.
The New Albany Tribune says "better
nominations for the place could not have
been made. AS to Judge Biddle, es-
pecially, We know Of no man in the State
that it would afford us so much pleasure
to vote for. or, if elected, would fill the
Office with more distinguished ability u
But the Tribune disavows any part OF
lot IN the election, and gives it no sanction
or approval.
