The Late Election and the Institution.


We take the following from an article in
the last "Statesman," which we commend
to our anti Benton friends, whose teeth are
always filed with niger wool, and ask
them to tell US what consolation they draw
from Stewards election?
There are in Missouri one hundred and
nine counties. Major Rollins at the re-
cent election received majority in fifty Of
the number--the fifty which he carried be-
ing represented in the lower branch of the
Legislature by an aggregate Of seventy.
three members. The whole number Of
members is one hundred and thirty three.
If that body, therefore, were just reflex
Of the sentiments of the people, there would
be in it a Rollins majority oil thirteen.
The slavery question entered largely into
the late canvass. Everywhere the bogus
Democracy sought by misrepresentation
and calumny to prejudice Shareholders a.
gainst Maj. Rollins. They denounced him
as unsound, as an Emancipationist, and
very often ns an Abolitlonist. Most sig
nally, however, have the slaveholding coun-
ties put the seal Of their oonde nation upon
these ISLANDERS. Here follows table of
twenty seven Of the largest slaveholding
counties in Missouri, (St Louis excepted, }
in which we present the number Of slaves
in each and the vote for Goyernor

1t is thus seen that nineteen of the TWEEN
ty-seven of the largest slaveholdipg coun-
ties in Missouri gave majorities for Major
Rollins, his majority in the whole twenty
seven being 1925. These twenty seven
counties cast an aggregate vote of over
thlrty-tive thousand. and contain upwards
Of seventy thousand slaves, nearly three
fourths of the slaves in Missouri-the
whole number being l00,Sl7. Put it down
then as significant item of the canvass,
and as a complete answer to the falsehoods
uttered against Maj. Rollins, that the slave
holders gave him large majority, and re-
pudiated Col. Mewart. The shareholders
voted for "ths aboiitionist," and withheld
their confidence from the great fire. eating,

Mob at Fayette--suicide Of a Prisoner

s<VS - NoyVssV--pulCluo VI IIlSOutI.
Some three months since man by the
name Of Geo. Matheny, alias Tucker,
who resided in Bonnie Femme Township,
in this county, was arrested on suspicion Of
hor'e-stesliDg, and placed in the county
Jail, at Fayette. He came to this county
last February, we believe, and had formerly
lived in Johnson county, where he was also
suspected Of horse-stealing, and where he
killed ore of a party who were trying to
force bis door for the purpose of lynching
him.
His neighbors had had him under sur.
Vigilance for some time before his arrest
| and were convinced that he was connected
with band Of horse-thieves. After dis.
cussing the matter for some time, and col.
Letting all the facts they could in refence &c
him, last Saturday was fixed upon for hi,
confession and execution. There were
some three or four hundred people in Fay.
cite that day, drawn there by the news oil
what was to take place, The company
which had the business in hand, numbered
some fifty or sixty persons, though they
must have had the silent sympathy and en-
enlargement Of portion of the others in
the place. This company stopped in the
edge Of town, and sent in a messenger, to
learn the state Of public sentiment. A vote
was taken Of the crowd present, and one
hundred and twenty were against the mob
proceeding, and ten for ia large number
refusing to vote.
After this vote was taken, the mob
marched directly to the Jail, and commenc-
the work of forcing the doors. Two or
three gentlemen appealed to them TO de.
sist, and let the law have its course with
the culprit, and not to bring such dis
grace and stigma upon our country as the
carrying out of their plans would irretrieva-
bly, fix upon us, Their appeals were in
vain. Meantime, the culprit hearing the
noise and confusion outside, and truly in.
terpreting what was the object took his hand
kerchief, and fixing one end about his neck,
and tying the other TO the flooring above,
sought to put amend to his existence. The
handkerchief broke, however. He then
took strong linen towel, tore it in two,
and succeeded in hanging himself, before
an entrance was effected. These facts
were learned from negro man who was in
The Jail.
Upon hearing that the prisoner had taken
his own life, and upon being convinced of
the fact the mob quietly dispersed. The
man was taken down in the evening-an
inquest was held on his body, and YER
dict in accordance with the facts rendered.
@There is no circumstance under which
mcb-law isjustifable, but there are extern
uating circumstances, which 20 far 10
palliate mob proceedings. Whether any
such circumstances existed in this case or
not, we are not prepared TO say. We re-
cord the proceedings with deep mortifca.
ton, and trust we shall never be called upon
to record similar proceedings any where,
much less in Howard county.
