DEMOCRATIC HMMo

DEMOCRATIC HANMoNY.-We have seen
in the democratic Journals chuckling ovel
some supposed divisions in the Republican
ranks. In order to show that they had
better look at home we subjoin few char.
mony' gems from the New Orleans Delta
as we find them copied (as texts) in the
Richmond Enquirer:
al. The leading organ of the "new
Southern party" (the Delta) mildly ex.
presses the opinion that James Buchanan
is a "viper" and "cowardly leader"
"II. The Delta charges Gov. Walker
with having debauched "Virgin Kansas
at the investigation of that "venerable
pimp" Buchanan.
@III. The Delta exhibits great fertility
of genius in abusing Buchanan, and dubs
him the "Free Soil Baal of Wheatland."
The Delta was an arden! supporter Of
Mr.. Buchanan last fall. :.

The Minnesota Conventions.

The two constitutional conventions arc
still in session at st. Paul, with no pros
pect of an agreement. Some days ago
Compromise Committees Were appointed
by both bodies, but after consultation to-
gether they were unable to agree upon any
arrangement for the submission of but ono
constitution TO the people, The terms of
fered by the Democratic COMMITTEE were
considered insulting by the Republicans,
and tbe latter declared the conference at
an end. The Pioneer supposcs that plan
of voting on the seperate Constitutions on
the same day may devised and agreed up
on an appointment of members in the two
Houses of the State Legislature. The
Senate is to consist of 81 and the House
of so members, representing an estimated
population of 247 500.

@ We think it is hardly known even
to the most intelligent of our readers, how
deep some Of the sciences are looking down
into the mysteries of creation. We knew
there were wonderful discoveries in these
times, and wonderful uses made of them,
but did not know the Chemists were imi-
tating in their crucibles and even surpass-
ing the most wonderful productions of or
ganic life. During our visit to Lowell We
were introduced by one of their prominent
citizens to the laboratory of DR.. AVER, lin
yentor of Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic
Pills where we were shown with generous
frankness, his processes and his products
This master genius of his art is manufac-
turing the subtle essences of flowers from
tar and other vegetable substances. His
essence of Pine Apple, Strawberry, Check
erberry, Ounce, Pear, CanelIa, Cinnamon
&C., not only equal but they exceed in pur-
ity of flavor, those vegetables themselves.
His oil of Winter-green is purer and of bet,
ter flavor than any that can be gathered
from the plant-and yet is made by chemi-
cal composition from the HYDROCARBONS in
tar! His process is, to anlyze the sub
stance and find the exact ultimate atoms of
which it is made, then recompcse them in
the same proportions which exist in ma
ture.- Christian Adcocate.

MissOuri Election

Taking the returns as made up by the
Border Rufian office-holders, Stewart is
elected by a small majority. The Demo
crat and lnteiligencer agree in stating that
Rollins has been cbiselied out of his elec-
tion by tampering with the returns, and
changing the actual vote in distant coun-
ties. 1t believed that frauds have been
perpetrated in dozen counties at least
The Cincinnati Gazette well says:
s.The election in Missouri has resulted in
the return of Stewart, the pro-slavery can
didate) by about 400 majority; in other
words, it is a warm battle. Who is Gov
ernor of Missouri, just at the present mo-
ment, is of no great moment. But, the
progress Of opinion there, is of great mo-
ment. No one can mistake that. Mr..
Buchanan received about 10000 majority
against Fillmore. Rollins, who was not
only an American, but an emancipationist,
is Just not elected.
''The circumstances of the election indi-
cate its meaning with great force. When
charged with being for emancipation, Rol-
Inns declared that he had no objection, and
indicated clearly enough that he was on the
Anti-Slavery side. He was charged with
being an emancipationist, an abolitionist, a
Black Republican; in fine, with fayoring
and exciting all the horrors which are sup
posed to result from the abolition of slave
ry. Such man would have raised an in
surrection in Virginia; and how long is it
since he or any man has dared to express
an anti-slavery sentiment in Missouri!
The moral of the election is evident. 1t
is practical demonstration that Missouri
has, if not majority, at least powerful
body in favor of Free Institutions. st.
Louis and almost all the large and wealthy
counties voted for Rollins, with the possi-
bility of emancipation distinctly in view.
"The conflict with slavery will hereafter
be waged in part Of the slave States; and
if those States pursue not only freedom,
but wealth they will get rid of their slaves
as soon as possible. The very idea that
slavery may be abolished, has increased the
value of land, and hastened the flow of
population. Take away that idea, and how
long before Missouri stagnates and dwin-
dies"

transfer to Mr.. James Haddock Smith, who

with melancholy. He "was happy in the

ToDD AND VICroY.-Col. ToDD was in
Sandusky few days since, where he ex-
pressed himself rather freely against the
Payne-ful ticket put in nomination by his
party this fall, and gave bis friends but
poor encouragement to bet much on the
success of that ticket. Some of the lea
ders took him to task for his "plain talk"
when the Col. told them, qualified with a
few oaths, that he had made the remarks
accredited to him, and asked what they
were going to do about ii.

FOLLOWING JuDaE WARpEN.-Joseph
F. Wade Esq, of Wood Co., one of the
Central Committee who called the Dred
Scott Senatorial Convention which met in
this city yesterday, has abandoned the par
ty which has already abandoned all genu-
inc Democracy, and written letter giving
his reasons for so doing, and declaring his
adhesion to the only party that is opposing
the spread of tyrany. Thus the shameless
depreciation ofthe Democratic party to the
use of Slavery, is driving one after another
from its ranks, and leaving the manage

sent of the city creditors and of the compa-

eided to give up to the owners the collec-
tion notes which are among the assets, and
is now engaged in selecting them from the
other securities. A portion of them have
been used in raising money for the compa-
ny, and litigation will now ensue to estab-
l'sh the ownership of such misappropriated
paper. But little light has yet been thrown
upon the state of affairs of the office here,

that matters are not so bad as outside an

NEGRO RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.-The Su
preme Court of the State of Maine, have
just decided that as their Constitution linn
its the right of suffrage to "male citizens
of the United States" and does not dis
criminate as to color, that free negroes
have the right to vote in that State; right
they have been exercising ever since the
admission of the State into the Union
Judge RICE, an actire democrat delivered
the opinion of the Court. Wenever De-
mocracy down there got to mean what i;
claimed for it in Ohio, then Judge RICE,
like Judge WARDEN of our State, will have
nothing more to do with it. A good ma
ny others that have been elected Judges
are following Judge WARDEN's example.

wwhenever an opponent of Gov

WWhenever an opponent of Gov.
CHASE bases his opposition to him on the
ground of his being an abolitionist, remind
him of the fact that the very man they
have selected as his opponent, voted for
him for U. S. Senator. So did Mr.. PueH,
their U. S. Senator, and SO did every Lo-
cofaco member of their party in the Leg
islature. Then he was good enough man
for them, but as soon as CHASE showed
SYMPTOMS of backing out from any longer
supporting the ruinous policy which they
had initiated about the commencement of
his term as Senator, then the first notes of
the chase were heard in the distance.
They have been hunting him down ever
since, and the only sin we have heard of
their bringing to his charge, is, his aboli-
tionisn. Nineteen-twentieths of the peo-
pie of Ohio are Abolitionists in the same
sense that Mr.. CHASE is.

THE COURT ROOM.
OOO,OOO,2JO PERSONS!!!

We know we shall be accused of exag-
geration; shall be told that there are not
so many Democrats in the county, but
we beg the objcctors to remember that
there were several importations from other
parts of the State. We stand by our fig
ures, and maintain that they are figures Of
fact, not fgures of speech. Iftwo or tmee
hundred persons more had been present,
we believe the Court Room would have
been nearly full.
THE SPEECH.
The Governor that isn't to be, advanced
to the stand. He opened his mouth. He
spoke. He raved. He shouted. He de-
nounced. He discoursed of canals, of
banks, of defaulters-though he seemed
in hurry to get away from the last topic.
He made a regular locofoco, bloviating
spread-eagle speech; and then he subsided
We listened attentively, but in vain, for
the address he delivered in front of the
American the night previous to the Presi-
dental election-"Boys, keep sober to-
morrow; at least, as sober as you can pos
sibly; but, tomorrow evening, when elec-
ton lie over, get as drunk as you choose
over our victoryp 1t was considered i'm
polite to deliver the address twice in the
same town, and so that choice morsel is
saved for production at other places dur
ing the campaign.
Other speakers followed the "Houora-
ble," but we were so filled with Democrat
ic wisdom and eloquence, that no more
could be added without overfowing, So we
left.
P. S.-A friend has just looked over
the prof of the foregoing, and he accuses
us of romancing. He says that he don't
believe there was any convention, and
speech-making, or any crowd, for he was

heard of any. We Indignantly repel this
attack on our veracity. We stand by cen
vention, speech, and crowd, and appeal TO
the Plaindealer of this evening is support
of our statement. We bet an old "tile" to
a new "chapean" of Dockstadcr's that our
evening cotemporary will have "harmon-
ious convention" a GLORIOUS speech" and
an "immense and enthusiastic mass meet
ing,,' that will totally eclipse our humble
efforts at reporting them. Who takes the

REMARKABLE NARATVE-Mr. Wm Bailey left
Springfield, Illinois, some eighteen months ago,
with party of nine persons, to engage in driv
ing teams rom the Gulf of Mexico to the Rio
Grande They landed at Indianola. and hired
to man by the name of Ross, to drive team
for him. They drove to Nueces river, and en-
camped there. While asleep their mules were
stolen by the Indians. They prepared the next
day to follow them, and came up with them at
sunset They saw six Indians. fred at and
killed them all, when they were attacked by
about three hundred who were secreted in the
woods, and who Immediately fired on the white
men, killed all but Mr.. Bailey, whom they took
prisoner. They then took him back to the
wagons, which they plundered of all the arms
and ammunition in them. They took two boxes
of government .revolvers, and twenty kegs of
powder. The prisoner was stripped of all his
clothing, and bound hand and foot npon pony.
They then started for encampment on the VII
chataw mountains which place they reached
after eleven days hard riding
The prisoner was kept strictly confined dur
ing the day, and was tied up every night with
pieces of raw hide by the hands, to limb of a
tree, as high up as he could reach and stand on
the ground. During the day he was allowed to
lie down and sleep few hours. During the
time Mr. Bailey was. with them they went on
five robbing expeditions taking him always
along with them. The last merchant train they
robbed they took two men prisoners who had
bravely defended themselves till their weapons
were all discharged and who had killed twelve
of the red skins, These two were then taken
and tied to a stake and skinned alive. Mr..
Bailey was placed close to them and compelled
to witness this horrible scene. Every time he
would close his eyes, they would punch him
with spears and bayonets until he would open
them, and look on this picture Of revolving
horror. I'll y t. took the skin reekng with
warm blood, an, ,apped him around the face
with it, covering him with blood, and telling
him if he tried to escape this should be his fate.
He did finally escape, however, during a war
dance-the Indians, in their excitement, for
getting him.
