Slavery in Free States.

The people at Washington, who do the
thinking for the Democratic party, have
proclaimed new dogma. The Washing
ton Union of the 18th ult., ushers in the
new doctrine, and labors to gid the nause-
Gus pill. 1t claims, as an article of the De-
mocratic creed, the Constitutional right OF
the Slave holder to remove with his slaves
to anv Free State, and hold them there. 1t
SAYS that it is the bounden duty of all State
Legislatures, to protect the property OF the
Slave holder, and further, that no State
has right to abolish Slavery within it'
limits, without the consent Of all the per-
sons within its limits who hold slaves. TO
elaborate the argument fully, the Union
uses these words-"the emancipation Of
Slaves in the Northern States, pas a gross
outrage on the rights Of property, mas
xucH As 1T WAS NOT VOLUNTARY RELIs-
QuIsnxENT on THE PART OF THE owNERs.'
The Detroit advertiser says, the first ag-
erosion upon the North, was the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. Next come the
bred Scott decision; then the Buchanan
letters to Stllman, declaring that the Con-
stitution carries Slavery into all territories
of the United States. Now, we have the
fourth step in this down-hill road to despot-
ism, that the Constitution overrides State
rights, and carries Slavery into all the
States. The fifth and last scene in the
drama, is the re- opening of the African Slave
trade, which is fercely advocated by the
South.
The Springfield (Ill.) Republican, in
remarking upon this last plank introduced
in the Democratic platform, very truthfully
saws, that 'sthere is but one more lesson
than this to complete the slavery CODE
And that, indeed, is but the natural infer
ence and legal corrollary of those that have
preceded it, and would follow the opinions
in the bred Scott case without legal vio-
lence or startling effect. 1t is, that Slavery
is still protected by the United States con-
stitution in all the States, as in all the Ter
ritories of the Union; and that whoever
chooses, can carry slaves into any State, and
be protected in holding, working and whip
ping them there by the all-powerful flag Of
our Union. There is really nothing in this
principle not embraced in the bred Scott
opiuions. MIR. Buchanan's Connecticut let
ter, and the supreme property protecting
force of the Slavery constitution, as ex-
pounded by the Union. Nor should any
man be surprised to see it adopted by the
democratic party, and established by the
supreme court, in all the badness Of state
u,ent With which we have clothed it,"

views of one who was, not many years ago,
their trusted oracle, councillor and leader,
and who would still have continued to be so,
had they not preferred to follow blindly
the lead of the nulli6ers and slavery propa-
gandists who ruled Pierce's administration,
and who now demand that people of Kan
sas shall submit to have constitution i'm
posed upon them against their consent. The
Northern Democracy cannot always follow
the lead of these men; let them pause now,
and act upon the principle which appears in

But in this political decision, in which the
supreme court acted upon question beyond
its jurisdiction, and luggedit in as a tail to a
question of negro freedom, and in which it
decided upon view of the constitution
which had no more to do with it than the ad-
ventures Of Robinson Crusoe, and then re-
versed the action Of the government for sew
enty years, and made a new constitution in
all that relates to territorial legislation; in
such case have felt it to be my duty, as
one of the few survivors Of the old school,
to raise my voice against it, and to appeal to
the candid intelligence of my fellow citizens
to come to the defense of our constitution,
such as our fathers made it, and as it was
administered for two generations.

A Word to Mixers. - The sage of the
Ploughman says; "The mixer should be
on good terms with the COW. If mixers
scold and kick, the COW will, most likely,
return the latter; and moreover, she can
not kick to advantage when her leg is in
close conjunction with the mixer for the
space is required between the agent and
the object. The best mixers are the
quickest for there will be flow in less
than minute from the commencement Of
the process. Take advantage of this, and
prevent its return. Milk dry; for the
strippings are worth four times as much
for butter as The milk that is first drawn
This is good advice. A lazy, scolding
milker, will soon spoil good COW.

Rats.-An agricultural writer estnn ates
that every rat eats and destroys, on an
average, one pint Of grain, or its equivalent
in other food, per week. A farmer who
has been troubled with this species of
vermin, calculates that, on an average,
every farmer in the State of Pennsylvania,
ltaking that State as sample) supports
ten rats on his premises. Ten rats, at a
pint each per week, would consume eight
bushels of grain per year. or, taking $50,
900 as the number of farmers in the State,
one million two hundred thousand bushels
annually to support the rats of Pennsylva-

claims that, with this food, nine quarts OF
milk yield a pound of butter. Farmers
and dairymen who have tried pumpkin

Lightning Rods.

We are sorry that an excellent paper
from our friend, Edward Stabler, on the
subject of lightning rods was not received
until our space was entirely occupied with
other matter. 1t is a subject of much
Importance, and we shall be glad to put on
record his valuable testimony as to the
efficiency of these conductors.
Giving his own experience for period
of nine years, as President of the Mont
gomery Go. Mutual Insurance Co., he
says "Our risk are about four millions,
and we have probably FIVE hundred barns
insured large proportion have lightning
rods and of the whole number destroyed
by lightning, not one was thus protected
nor has single building Insured or unin
sured, so far as has come to my knowledge,
and protected with rods, been destroyed by
ightning''
The Lycoming County, Pa. Mutual
Insurance Company has been in operation
eventeen years; and has issued within
that time, ffty-one thousand, three hundred
and thirty-three policies not one protected
By lightning rods was destroyed by light
ming during the whole period.
The Worcester County, Massachusetts
Mutual Insurance Co., has beenin operation
thirty four years, and in their late Annual
Report says "No building with rods on it,
being injured by lightning (when properly
fitted has come to our knowledge"
