The Trial of a DemasOgue..H.
B. Payne in 1851.

Since the nomination of H. B. Payne by
the Democratic Douglas Nebraska Dred
Scott convention, friend called our atten.
tion to the fact that this same H. B. Payne
recorded his vote in the State Senate of
1S50-'51, in favor of resolutions censuring
the Fugitive Law. On page 912 Senate
Journal, We find the following resolution
introduceced by Mr.. Pardee:
"ResolUed, That the law commonly cal
led the fugitive law, being law that makes
erparte evidence conclusive of the masters
right to recapture and return his slave E;
that denies q jury trial, here or elsewhere; {;
that provides for the appointmet of swarms
of petty officers to execute it; that gives a
double compensation to the every claim set
up in favor of the master; and pays the ex-
pense in any case, from the public treasury
can never receive the voluntary cooperation
of our people, and ought, therefore, to be
repealed"
The resolution passed the the Senate by
a vote Of % years to s nays, and among
those % names stands that of H. B. Payne!
Here is pretty man TO 90 into douglas
Dred Scott convention" where
Judge Ranney had such ''hard sledding."
This fact alone stamps the man political
time server and demagogue.
He knows now, equally as well as then,
that the Fugitive law was and is an out
rage, but at the dietation of party leaders
and selfish interest, he comes ont aud iden-
titles himself with body of men who
would have kicked him out of their midst
had he ayowed the doctrines of that resolu-
ton. People of Ohio, mark him down.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
From Kansas.
LAWRENCE, Aug. 3,

LAWRENCE, Aug. 3,1s47.
Gov. Walker having remained watching
the people of Lawrence till on his sober
mornings he became heartily ashamed of
himself, has been for several davs casting
about him for some means to get out of his
miserable serape. -Four days ago mess
enger was despatched by him to Fort Ri
ly-for what purpose nobody knew, but
last night courier came from the Fort to
Walkers camp with dispatches, and this
morning at O'Clock Walkers famous
camp near Lawrence broke up, and he and
his troops started up the river, leaving the
people of Lawrence to commit treason un-
punished, 1t is reported that the courier
brought news that the commander of the
Fort was afraid the Cheyenne Indians
would attack him,and asked Walker for aid,
but the messenger himself Il saw him this
morning) did not think the Fort in any
danger.
The whole thing is understood here as
an invention to give Walker an opportuni-
ty to withdraw gracefully from Lawrence.
Ashamed of his exploit, he is glad to re-
treat back into the interior of the Terrific
ry, away from newspaper reporters, and out
Of sight and hearing of Lawrence.

CONTINUED EXCITEMENT IN LEAvEN-
woRrH.-The steamer Hesperian, reached
Leavenworth on Sunday evening, at which
time two alleged murderers, the compan.
ions of the two men hung on Friday, were
being tried by judges appointed by the
vigilance committee. A number Of the
citizens collected in the streets were much
excited, and clamorous for the immediate
execution of the prisoner, but they were
harangued by the judges, who desired TO
postpone further proceedings untilnext day,
(Monday.) The judges and jury are well
known, peaceful and orderly citizens, at
whose hands justice will doubtless bo fully
meted out.
LATER.-The steamer Alonzo Child.
which arrived here some hours later than
the Hesperian, passed Leavenworth City
on Monday evening. The trial of Woods
and Knowlton, owing to the clamor and
confusion, had not yet onded. The people
seemed very much afraid the prisoners
would be acquitted, and expressed them
selves determined at all hazards to execute
lynch law upon the offenders. Gov. Walk
er had reached the city and was endeavor-
ing to pacify the populace, but without eff
feet. The officers of the Alonzo Child,
think the mob has by this time prevailed,
and the prisoners have been hung.-!S.

The Crops--Splcndid Wheat.

Our Ohio exchanges all speak of tho
crops of of 1857 as good. The Massilon
News SAYS the wheat of that region is ali
cut, and never was the crop as large or bet
ter harvested. The corn crop looks well,
as do oats and barley. Such is the report
generally in our State.
The Plymoth Adrertiser, published in
Huron county on the line of Richiand,
states that although great hopes were en-
tertained of the yield of the wheat crop, the
facts place the yield even ahead of expec-
tation. Mr. Swalley from three acres and a
sixth of Mediterranean wheat had a Weld
of III bushels by weight, being an ave-
rage of 81 bushels to the acre. The Quail
ity equals the quantity. Mr.. Levi Shaver
has thrashed AIS bushels by measurement
from ten acre field of white wheat, which
will considerably overrun that in weight,
making an average of at least AZ bushels
per acre. The first arrival Of new wheat at
Plymoth sold at Sl,lO.- Clsreioad Hsr.

In the State Canal Contract suits in the
Franklin County Court, Judge Bates over
ruled the demurrer of Attorney General
Wolcott.
The indictment of the franklin County
Grand Jury on the 10th of July, against
John G. Breslin, for Embezzlement, sets
forth that he was Treasurer of the State of
Ohio on the 1st day of January, 1858,
when he unlawfully converted to his own
use 100000 of the public moneys of the
State of Ohio, and that he unlawfully
made way with the same. The same charge

From the Painesviile Telegraph Extra of Tuesday.
Great CONFEDERATION in Pains.
WILLIE

About twenty minutes before four o'clock
this morning, fire, which proved to be of
unparalleled destructiveness in the history
of Painsyille, broke out on the allev r,n.
ming parallel with and on the south of
Main street Mr.. N. M. Pomeroy, stou-
ping at the Franklin House, having occa-
stoned to be up through the ght engag-
ed in forwarding cattle by railroad, dis
covering smoke issuing from the alley has
tened to the spot and found that pile of
shavings and finely split kindling wood bad
been piled in the angle of the building of
Messrs. Baker IL Thompson, and ignited.
Mr.. Pomeroy succeeded in extinguishing
the pile of kindling, but the flames had al
ready caught high up the building, and in
few minutes lit up the roof of the ada
cent block of Messrs. Gray q Thompson,
at the corner of st. Clair and Main streets
The flames Immediately sprang across the
alley to the south, taking Gillett's large
storehouse and the dwelling of Mrs. Beard
Immediately south. Gilletts store, upon
the western side of ST. Clair, was several
times on fire, but finally saved, with slight
damage. The fire ran with great rapidity
east, taking everything upon the alley and
on the south side of Main street, TO State
street, and south on State street, taking the
residence of Mr.. H. C. Whitney.
The fire spread south, on st Clair street,
as far as the dwelling of Mrs. Beard, which
was totally destroyed. Worth $4,000, and
supposed to be insured $1,000 at Buffalo.
The stores on the opposite sides of St.
Clair, Main and State st. were frequently
on fire, and all of them slightly injured, as
were the goods, all of which were removed,
with all manner of rough usage.
The fremen worked to their utmost
ability, but with such combustible materi-
al, their efforts were nearly in vain. The
loss falls generally upon the shoulders of
young mechanics and merchants, the most
enterprising and industrious of our citizens
and in some instances it falls indeed
heavily. But we shall all have the sympa-
thy of our more fortunate fellow citizens-
and we will all keep our hearts and try
again.

BACKS OUT.-DAvIp WnMoT, the Re
publican candidate for Governor in Penn
sylvania, sent challenge to his opponent
Gen. PACKER, to meet him on the stump
for the purpose of discussing the issues
now before the sovereign people for whose
sufrages they are respectively candidates
But PACKER, tit should be Backer) ''backs
out" He cannot be persuaded to enter
into a contest which he knows would ter
terminate in his inglorious discontinue
The Republicans in Pennsylvania are in
good spirits, and the failure of Mr.. VII
MoT's opponent to meet him on the STUMP
was not unexpected to them. To have
done so, would have insured his defeat, as
he could never have sustained himself and
the doctrines he advocates before an intel
ligent audience.
General Packer was greatly embarrassed
when he received Wilmots challenge, and
not knowing how to decline it, and afraid
to accept, this manly candidate referred it
to the Democratic Executive Committee of
the State, saying to them in effect. 'I am
dough in your hands, mould me as you
will" So the Democratic Executive Com
mittee undertook to get the poor General
out of the difficulty by writing long let
ter, disapproving of discussion. We ex-
tract the most important paragraph in this
letter of the Committee which reads as fol-
lows:
"The slavery question, which it is pos
sible your opponent proposes to discuss, has
very recently been throughly considered
and passed upon by the people of this
Commonwealth. The late Presidential
canvass involqed the whole subject so far
as it was proper for consideration by our
people, and we can perceive no utility in
its re discussion at this time; nor any other
good reason for re-onening debate upon it.
The position OF our party is well understood,
and requires no vindication, at least by any
extraordinary proceeding like that propos-
ed"
On the receipt of this, General Packer
enclosed copy of the letter to Judge Will
mot, and declined to stump the State if the
Slavery question was to be discussed.

ALLEGED FRAUDS AT THE PHILADELPHIA
M1NT.-The officers of the Mint at Phila-
delphia are charged by the Times of that
city with making the new cents of deficient
weight. The standard is seventy-two
grains, Troy. Some of them fall short as
much as four grains, which on one hundred
dollars would amount to about five dol
lars and half The same paper suggests
that similar process in the gold and sill
yer coinage is within the range of possibili-
ty. We can hardly suppose any regular
plan of this kind to exist, for aside from
the character of the officers Of that institu-
ton, the fraud is too readily discoverable.

French Elections -. Agitation
Forbidden.

The electoral colleges of France have de-
clared the official results of the late election.
Number Of voters inscribed, 9,495,955;
votes given, 6,l36,654; for the Govern
ment. including not only those given to the
official candidates, but to such opponents
as do not belong to the opposition, 5,471,-
ssS; for the opposition, 571,s59; votes
lost 92,917. The Government organ, the
Moniteur, exults at the result, and claims
that during the twenty days constituting
the period of electoral preparation, "the
fullest liberty was given to all citizens to
produce and support their candidateships,
and to the journals to publish and discuss
Them" But, continues the voice of the
Emperor, through bis official journal, "now
that the struggle is over, and that major
ity of more 100000 of votes has clearly
declared the sentiments of the country, an
end must be put to discussions which can
henceforth have no other object than to use
lessly agitate the public mind"
Precisely the same spirit is manifested
by Douglas and other Democratic leaders
in this country. Give them Napoleon'S
power, and his edicts would be repeated in
the United States. Nothing is more GER
tain. A free press and free speech would
be rs effectually muzzled touching the 'pe-
euliar institution" North of Mason and
Dixon's line, as it is now is by ruffian Lynch
law South of that line. Even Ohio has
her Democratic petty despots who would
gladly place the gag in the mouth of every
freeman who does not bow to Slavery's
yoke-United States officials who glory in
and Government fed editors
who approve of every outrage committed |
With or without color of Federal authority
IN citizens of Ohio who obey the laws of |
he State and the dictates of common hu-
nanity. "More's the pity"

Crops in Europe.

The world bids fair to be well fed the
coming year, whether it is well governed
or not. The London correspondent of the
National Mtelligencer thus wries on the
oath of July.
Another week of highly favorable wealth
er has brought the country to the very
verge of all parts of France that there will
be great crop throughout the county. 1t
is the same in Spain, Italy, Algeria, Egypt,
the Principalities, and Southern Russia
The market at Mark Lane has again given
way under these promises of plenty, and
wheat is fully four shillings per quarter
cheaper. The harvest will commence dur
ing the next week in the more southern
and forward districts of England.

strong, dated U. S. ship San Jaeinto, at
Hong Kong, May %, in which he SAYS
from the enormous force the English are
collecting at this station, and the arrange
ments they are making for its permaneney,
1t is clear that China is to be compelled
to throw off her exclusiveness. He adds
that there will be total of so vessels
monthly, with 7s3 guns, accompanying this
force, and several sea-going hospitals and
transports, with very large supernumera-
ry medical attendants.

DEATHs-We have already noticed to
some length the life and spoken of the char
acter of Hon. Thos. ]. Rusk, recently dead
by his own act. The Phila. North Ame-
rican in speaking of this event throws lit
tie more light upon the immediate cause of
the suicide:
"About eighteen months ago he lost by
death is wife, to whom he was deyotedly
attached, and for whom his grief was in
tense, growing upon him daily. He had
two other sources of trouble. The one was
connection of his brother-in-law with some
forgeries in the Land Department, which
preyed upon his spirits to such an extent
as to induce him to indulge in drink. The
other was tendency he had exhibited from
early life to go off into ungovernable tenn
porary fits of intoxication, during which he
lost all command of his faculties. In his
early years these spells were frequent, but
when he became prominent as statesman
he was necessarily obliged to observe diff
fe: ent department, so that it was only ON
rsre occasions that be would become excl
ted. His sorrow for the loss of his wife,
and the other matter referred to, are sup
posed to have driven him into one of these
fits, during which he shot him self through
the head with rifle"
The telegraph has announced to the
country the death of Hon. ]. c. Dobbin,
late Secretary of the Navy. He died on
the 4th inst, at the age of A. His death
was just one month subsequent to that of
one of his colleagues in the Cabinet of the
late unfortunate administration. Mr.. Mar
ey died on the 4th of July. Mr.. Dobbin is
spoken of as mild man of pleasing man.
ners. who has left behind him among his
heighbors many sincere mourners.

II. g. district Attorney.

Hon. G. w. BELpES, of Canton has been
appointed TO this post, vice Judge RANNY,
resigned. Had the office been an elective
one,and the Judge before the people for their
votes, We should have felt it our duty to
have opposed him, because of his political
predictions, but as It's an office which is
bestowed by Federal patronage, fairness as
public journalist, demands that we should
speak honestly of the appointment. We
would not unjust to the "powers that be, y
and are therefore free to say, that aside from
his political principles, from the error Of
which may heaven save him. Judge B. is
an honorable, upright man, and as lawyer,
holds rank among the first in the State.
The duties of the Office to which he has
been appointed could not have been placed
in more competent hands. His party have
heretofore honored him with the post of
Common Pleas and District Judge, which
he returned to them graced by his accept
ance, and made honorable by the manner
their duties were discharged. An estima-
bly, good citizen, combining goodness of
heart with infexible integrity, and govern
ed by the Golden rule of right. He was
n roemher of the Cincinnati; Convention
and, as we have always understood, an
earnest supporter, of Mr.. Buchanan, and
were the Presidents appointments all like
this one, he would have but few sins to
answer for in that way.

wA dispatch from Washington an

EA dispatch from Washington an
nounces that the Cabinet has at length
completed its instructions to Governor
Cumming. They are brief and specific.
He is to see that the laws of the U. States
are faithfully executed. No man in Utah
is to be molested for political or religious
opinions, but held responsible for his con-
duct. Should the civil authorities be una
bic to enforce the laws, military force must
then be imployed. While his powers are
ample for all practical purposes, much is
confded to his prudence and discretion. 1t
is to be hoped that he will have both of
these virtues to a greater extent than any
of the Governors the President has yet
sent to Kansas.

The Election in Kentucky.

The Democrats have made pretty clean
sweep in Kentucky, having elected eight
certain and probably nine of the ten Con-
gressmen; a majority of the Legislature, and
State Treasurer. This result also secures
the election of a Democratic United States
Senator in place of Hon. John B. Thomp-
son. The Know Nothing party is thus
completely discounted in that State, and
in order to battle the Democracy, hereaf
ter, with any prospect of success there must
be different organization and new issue.
