Death of Judge Tappan.

The Honorable Benjamin Tappan, of
Steubenville, is dead He died on Sunday
evening, at Steubenville, in this State, in
his S5th year. He has occupied-a very
conspicuous position before the public, and
has been an active leader of the Democrat
ic party. Belonging rather to the old,
than the new school of Democracy; he has
not of late years sympathized much with
their doings. He was decided Anti
Slavery man end on that account lost caste
with the Southern Senators. He was in
the Senate from 1889 to ls45-being a
member of that body when the Texas
Treaty was before it-and was accused, we
believe truly, of having furnished the copy
of the Treaty which appeared in the col
umns of the New York Herald.
Judge Tappan was a man of decided and
impressive abilities. He was particularly
remarkable for cold sarcasm and wit,
about which there are many stories current
Numerous anecdotes are told of him, cs-
pecially of his repartee and sarcasm
Looking at him at distance, and without
personal acquaintance, we should place
him among small class who, having great
talents, yet have not possessed that moral
strength which is necessary to make them
beneficial to mankind. In him the Democ-
racy have lost one of the few remaining
pillars of their ancient faith-that faith
which, like the French Revolutionists', be-
lieved in political liberty at the expense of
religious truth.-Cin. Gazette.

Egr The Lawrence correspondent of the
Missouri Democrat, says that the Free
State men feel so strong since the multitu-
dinous accession to their ranks this Spring,
that they absolutely viii not submit to be
badgered, harrassed, taxed or imprisoned un-
der the pretence of the enforcement of the
Bogus laws of the Missouri mob. He
writes:
Had Buchanan, aided by jeff Davis and
poor degraded Pierce, expended one half of
his allotted time in the Presidential chair
in selecting officers for Kansas, worse selec-
tions could not be made for both parties.-
Some of the officers appointed for Kansas
have been participators in murders of the
foulest kind. Should Walker, who is au-
thorized to enforce the Infamous code,
which has been pronounced disguise" by
the leading spirits of the Democratic party,
attempt to do so, flame will be kindled
which will not be confined to Kansas
alone, but one which may involve the en-
tire Union. The serried lines of bayonets
and clanked sabres can no longer entramel
public sentiment and force slavery upon
free born American citizens.

The Coming Comet,

What are we coming to-! or, rather
what is coming to us? Some say comet
Well, the question then arises, which will
get the worst oft? According to the pre-
diction of certain end-of-the-world philoso-
pliers, this world is again to come to an
end on or about the middle of June next
and the instrumentality by which our little
terrestrial sphere" is to be knocked into
Everlasting snash," is a colnet-proba-
bly, with ''fiery tail.'
We begin to lose faith in comets
Since we have, as boy and man, been on
the age Of action, this accident has been
about to happen several times; but some
how or ether there has always been, thus
far, something in the laws and order of Ma
ture that has overruled--;nd all for the
best, we doubt not-the calculations of the
destructionists. So we predict, it will con-
tinue to be. However, it is always well
to prepare for the worst; hence we RECON-
mend the generality of mankind in gener-
ap' to put their houses in order, pay their
debts, forgive their enemies, give to the
poor, visit the widow and fatherless. edu-
cate the ignorant, reform the vicious, and
do works meet for repentance. $50 shall
your peace be like the waves of the sea,
whether the comet destroys the Garth, or
the earth the comet, or both, or neither.
