A Notorious Character.

We are informed that s. Ludvigh, the
editor of the Fackel, an abolition, western
light. deistical paper, is in the city. If we
are not mistaken, this is the same individ-
ual that was tared and feathered and
ridden out of Southern city on raj, ,
some time since, for the publication of In
cendiary and revolutionary sentiments
The object of his presence here at this time
is not fully known, but close watch will
be kept upon his movements
Democrat 81
The above paragraph is as complete
evidence of the intolerant spirit of modern
Democracy as could be asked. Mr.. Lud :
vigh is one of the most quiet, inoffensive
men living, and his maltreatment at the
South was one of the most disgraceful acts
of barbarism and brutality that ever De-
mocracy has been guilty of. His ''incen-
diary sentiments" are only those of every
thinking man who sees how debased those
communities cursed with slavery become,
and in promulging them he did only
what the constitution Of the country per-
mits him to do. The Louisville sheet
would thing great outrage if the block
heads who come from the south to preach
their folly, were tarred and feathered by
freemen, but it has no appreciation at all
of reversal of that operation.

| 'sThe Grasshopper shall be Burden''..
Jeremiah )---wiII the Minnesota Grasshop-
per Migrate East.
In copying very iudicious article from
| Minnesota paper, on the destruction of
the grasshopper, in this section, some ed
| itorial expressions accompanying it are
susceptible of a false inference. The idea
was conveyed, or was likely to be under
stood, that the plague of the grasshopper
was rather peculiar or incidental to Utah
and Minnesota. Now, / have ascertained
some important facts on this subject, which
ought to be considered. The grasshoppers
which have been such ''burden" to the
people where reside, last year and this
present season, migrated from the Pacific
shore, and, in all probability, will reach
the Atlantic States before their destructive
mission is ended. They came here like a
mighty army last August, year ago, from
the West, flying in such multitudes as to
darken the sun in some instances. Light
ing down they deyoured two thirds of the
cropS-deposited their eggs, and last
spring hatched out in such multitudes as to
require all garden vegetables and the crops
of every kind, to mature them for their
Eastern flight in July The corn springing
up little after being eaten down to the
ground, will afford little use, and late
planted potatoes will amount to something
A good supply of hay is left in the meadows
of latest growth. The insect is now clean
gone--East and South.
Nothing but the interposition of Divine
Providence will prevent the annual devasta-
ton of these insects in every State east of
this to the Atlantic coast, which they may
not reach under three years, having been
about that time since they left Utah and
the Upper Minnesota valley. Already, I
hear ons wing of the great army has reach
ed Wisconsin, the right wing having
reached Iowa, and the central column the
edge of the Illinois. 1t is to be feared
their eggs will be deposited in these
l States
The section of country where they have
been so destructive in Minnesota for two
years is narrow-a strip on each side of
the Mississippi above st. Anthony's Falls.
The insect did not reach quite down TO
Saint Anthony. The eastern and south
ern sections of Minnesota escaped until
since their flight east and south The for
aging parties lit down and devoured some
corn silks, (wheat being out of the way,
and passed on, stopping not more than
three days and generally over one night.

Paint Banks in Martin County.

Last week we were shown those banks
of which we had heard much said.
The paint manufactured at these banks
seems to be, as far as we could Judge of
superior quantity. Many different kinds
are manufactured at this place, and we
think that soon these banks will supply the
west with the ochre and umber that is
used
DIR. Delametre owns one half of these
extensive banks having sold the other half
to company in Cincinnati.
The banks, are very extensive and doubt
less the best use that great portion of the
hills of Martin county can be put to is to
grind them up for paint as they seem to be
composed in part ofa substance from which
paint might be made very Wash

up from these gentlemen and their associ-
ates all over the country No falsehood
was too foul or misrepresentation too base,
as to the designs and motives of the friends
of freedom, to be circulated and sent forth
by these same gentry in order to poison
and corrupt the fountains of intelligence
The welkin rang again with the yells Of
disappointed ambition sent forth from the
lungs Of slavc-drivers and their parasites
And now, when the friends of freedom in
Kansas animated by the single desire ia
establish free institutions there are making
almost superhuman exertions in order to
counteract the rascality and villainy of the
slave ocracy, aided and abetted by the
soldiery and power of the Federal govern
ment, such dough-faees as the editor of the
NJ. G. Democrat, knowing its falsity, as
sert that they are "animated solely by a
determination to keep alive slavery agita-
ton for future political purposes" What
would he have them do? Vote? When
they had every reason to believe that the
election would not be fairly and honora-
bly, conducted, besides sanetioning the lie.
gality of the bogus laws and Missouri in
vasion? They were not quite SO verdant
But, they have determined to vote next
month, in accordance with a provision oi
the Kansas Nebraska act, for delegate to
Congress and members of the Legislature
notwithstanding the shameful apportion-
ment; and if beaten, as we fear they
will be, by not being allowed to vote, we
now predict that this same Marshall Coun.
ty Democrat will boast over it as Demo
cratic victory,-which it will be. Should
it result otherwise, however, it will re.
cord the result, if it records it at all. as an
abolition triumph, accomplished by the
votes of eastern abolitionists, negro-lovers
scallawags and scapcgraces sent out by
the emigrant aid society for the occasion

What Animates Bogus Democracy.

The last NJ O. Democrat contains a
characteristic article taken from the De-
troit Free Press. 1t is full of falsehoods
in regard to the object and aims Of the Re-
pubhcans of Kansas and elsewhere. If the
editor does not know its statements to be
untrue it is because hg shuts bis eyes and
refuses to examine the Is. The article
represents that the Topeka party" by
which it means the Frees State party in
Kansas, els animated solely by determi-
nation to keep alive slavery agitation for
future political purposes" Is this true?
What are the facts? When Gov WAL
KER made his grand entry into the Terri
tory of Kansas he attempted to pacify the
people by assuring them that every bona
fide settler should have a voice in the a.
doption or rejection of the constitution a
bout to be framed, and that evcn-handed
Justice should be meted out to all alike
These pledges on the part of WALKER met
with violent opposition in the slave States.
The Governor was forthwith denounced by
slave-owners as traitor to the South
And for what? For declaring that his in
huence should be exertel to secure to every
bona fide free white settler the privilege of
voting for or against any constitution that
might be framed,-thus selecting accord
ing to republican usage in this government
their own institutions. And has it come to
this that our public officers are to be de-
nounced as traitors to one section of the
Union merely because he promises the in
habitants of a territory that they shall be
protected in tive rights guaranteed to them
even in the act of Congress organizing the
territory? Is it possible that the Demo
cratic party in the free states sanctions this
anti-republican position of their southern
brethren? lt Is even so. Did not the
President himself Immediately "back wa
ter", when the clamor from the south
reachc.l him demanding Walkers removal
for daring to speak as just republican rl-
ler? Did not the Democratic press all
over the north succumb in silence, like
whipped spanie!s, TO the tyrannical demand.
Yet, notwithstanding these alarming facts
the Detroit Free Press fr)claims, and the
Marshall Co. Democrat re-echocs the asser-
ton:

gainst the preservation of order in Kansas,
and against the settlement of the slavery
ry question in Kansas. 1t is practically a
war to keep Kansas out of the Union as
free State. 1t is in truth war against
freedom in Kansas"
These are serious charges, and if true
should and would consign the leaders OF
the Topeka party to political infamy.
If, on the other hand they are untrue, those
who make and circulate them but too plain
ly show that they are evolves in sleeps
clothing, pretending to be friends to
freedom and at the same time doing all
they can to insure its defeat. What are
the facts to justify ani sustain thes, grave
charges? Only one is given, and that is
the refusual on the part of the Free State
men to take part in the election of Dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention
One reason, and the main one, why they
did not was that they would thereby have
stultifed themselves and acknowledged the
legality of the laws enacted by the bogus
legislature, which they were not stark fools
enough to do But there were other good
and sufficient reasons why they should not
have participated in the election had this
not been the case, which it is unnecessary
to specify now. as they are known to all
who have sought after facts and truth
The free State party in Kansas as well as
all over the Union are firmly convinced
by what they see and hear that the South,
aided by the President of the United States,
is making gigatic efforts to establish slave
ry in Kansas by means of tyranny and
fraud, and are vigilant and active on their
part to counteract the villainy-for which
they are misrepresented, and the most men,
-dacious charges made and re-echoed against
them BY men who, in order to give more
eject to their falsehoods, shamelessly de-
clare that they desire to see Kansas come
into the Union as a free State! Beautiful
advocates of freedom, truly! What have
they ever said or done to bring about such
a result? When the .freemen of the north,
reused by the outrages of Missourians in
their foray upon the Territory for the pur-
pose Of electing pro slavery delegate to
