MR.. GIDDINGS' LETTER.

Our readers will peruse with pleasure the man
ly AMI defiant letter of this noble veteran. His
independence seems TO gain strength with his age
unlike some others to whom it brings conservatism
and paltering. Mr.. Giddings has never shown
any thing but contempt and defiance of the Demo
cratic falsehood which represents Republicans as
Disunionists. He has always of late met the
charge with a clearer and holder declaration OF
truth and principles and coolly bid the lying Sian.
derers make the most Of it. In this, quite unlike
many other leaders of the party, who with craven
spirit strive to secure numbers and cast off odium
by clarifying and saving the Union, and by ours
ing abolitionists. Such letters as this Of Mr.. Gid
dings will do excellent anti-slayery work in this
community.
We can agree with Mr.. Giddings in commencing
the anti-slavery purpose Of many of the early iath
ers of the republic, who in an evil hour consented
to the Union as it was: but unlike him we are mo-
DESTROYS of seeing that Union re-established, i
indeed it has ever been destroyed. For whatever
were the purposes of its founders-howeve excel
lent are many of the provisions of its bond-th'
constitution-it does essentially compromise al
those excellent principles, and thus yitiates iii
whole character. This original union, to whicl
Mr.. Giddings proposes to bring back the govern
ment and which he would perpetuate, was th'
~originaL sin that vitiated the government in il
whole nature-which made it essentially wicked
unfit to be perpetuated, and which bore bittel
fruits. and most abundantly, long before it wa
subvertod and changed. as Mr.. Giddings charges
by the fraudulent admission Of Texas; or ever
aefore the Missouri compromise. the adoption o
which. in atrocity Of wickedness was not exceed
ed ty the nominations of its repeal. We are Una
BILE to see any prospect of good were we even t
restore the old Union, bringing the %governmen
back to the principles of its foundation, for the'
we should have but the old compromise. In tn
best view Of the case il would be but a repetition
Of the effort to secure liberty to ourselves and GU
posterity, by a union with acknowledged marau

FIELD NOTES.

CoLUMBIANA, Nov. Both, 1857.
DEAR NJ: On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 24th,
and 18th, wo held meetings in East Fairfield,
which village rejoices in the possession of TWO
meeting houses-Disciple and Methodist-neither
of which could be opened on such an occasion.
The people there have been taught to have a holy
horror of those whom they call Abby Kelleyites,
and the Disciples house was refused because they
would not tolerate preaching from any whom
they supposed held the views of that well abused
woman. Some OF these Disciples and Methodists ~.
sert that Abby Kelley(they can't venture upon her
whole name) is opposed to the marriage %instisu-
ton, and this charge comes W nth e peculiar grace
from men and women whose churches baptiss IS
christian n system which denies the right of mar,
rage to four millions Of American citizens ! 1t
would be well if the religious portion of commu-.
nifty should strive a lille more earnestly to prao-
tice obedience to the With, comm andment. and
not give SO forcible an illustration of the de8ui-
milton furnished by a little girl, who declared its
meaning to be" when nobody went and did moth.
ing, and somebody went and told of it,"
Had it not been for the kindness of our friend,
VIM. Stokesberry, who converted his Workshop,
into n temporary meeting house, anti slavery
would have had no place in Fairfield in which il
could obtain a hearing. For Two evenings the
people-at least those of them who have enough
intelligence and moral principle to feel interested
in the discussion of anti-slavery doctrines-cams
to the carriage shop to hear US. Some listened
with great attention to the truths presented. aud
Il little opposition added spice and variety to the
proceedings. do not indulge in any s~anguins
expectation that Fairfield will ever be foremost in
the anti.slavery reform. 1t has a kind of sleepy
appearance that is poorly calculated to impress q
stranger with ideas Of its intellectual or moral ae'
tivity, and it might not be inaptly ranked among
the antiquities of Ohio. for there are no Few hous-
es in the place, and in fact all the buildings look
as if they had been secopd,handed when the town
was laid out. 1t rejoices in the Franklin Hotel
which probably lives upon the remembrance Of the
business of former years. for it would be difhcul'
to conceive that it has now sufficient travelling pat
rOnage to sustain il. The hotel is, Of course, old
fashioned in its appearance, and has swinging
sign upon which was once painted what purports
- be a resemblance of the philosopher yhsss

established to the satisfaction Of the Commissioner
Ray, who gave him up to Kentucky slavery. Sub

Wallace, of the State Court, who decided that the
Commissioner writ was the paramount law o f.the
land in the case, and the poor fellow was sent back
to Kentucky, under guard of United States officials
and at United States expense.
While the trial was in progress. DR.. Vallanding
ham had his chivalric nerves somewhat shocked

directly to the utter unbridling of tongue and
pen. The Berlin people, if they have encouraged
such a nuisance. under a ridiculous notion that
such was true freedom Of doctrine, have run real

Editor @NcbraskG Adrertiser':
DEAR SIR: In looking over the last number of your
paper a notice attracted my attention signed by
Jerome Hoover, ESQ, in which he states that certain
stories are in circulation that the undersigned claim
some interest in Nemaha City for the purpose of in
juring Its prosperity. Ii may do quite well to cir
eulate a report of that nature where the facts are
unknown, but to those knowing the facts such a
statement is merely foolish.
And for the purpose of giving o fair opportunity
to persons to ascertain the facts we hereby warn ali
persons from purchasing any pretended claim OF
interest in the said town of Nemaha City, from the
said jerome Hoover, ashe has sold and received pay
for ~nine-twelfthS OF SAID town, and suits now pending
to place the undersigned in possession of the interest
BY them purchased in the same; and they have not
authorized the said Hoover TO sell OF dispose Of any
portion Of their interest, but directed suit to be
broughtlong since for its recovery.

Georgia papers announce the death Of
Gen. Thomas Flournoy, at his residence
on the Sand Hills. Gen. Flournoy, says
the Augusta Chronicle, was a man of a

all his cotemporaries, having lived beyond
the extreme limit of four score.
He was, we believe, the oldest mem
Der of the bar In the state, having been
admitted before any M now practising

He was long a distinguished member Of
the profession, from which he retired
some twenty years since, and spent the

REPORTED MURDER OF SURVEYING PAR
TIES.

Letters were received at LeconaptOn
on the 18th ult., which state that the
Cheyenne or Sioux Indians, or both, had
attacked several of the United States
surveying parties In the southwest por-
ton of Nebraska, aud murdered a num-
Der Of men.
The report is that five of Capt. BER-
RY's and all of Col. MANNERS party, in
Guiding the latter, had been murdered.
We have been unable TO learn Particu-
lars.
1t is the opinion of those best acquain-
ted with the country In which these par
ties were, and the regions of country
traversed by the various tribes of Indians,
that if these massacres have occurred,
they were committed by the Pawnees,
and that they have charged the murders
on the others to escape punishment. This
also is the opinion Of the Surveyor Gen
eral, now in our city, who states that the
lands upon which the surveyors were at
work, have always been claimed by the
Pawnees, and shst they have V e mani
tested great displeasure at their survey
by the government.-KansaS City En-
