The signal triumph, at the recent election, OF
thefrirndss of freedom, in this State, under Ma
thaniel P. Banks, the peoples candidate on the
same platform Of principles on which Fremont
was sustained by the great Republican party OF
the country in the last Presidential contest, VIII
be hailed in other States throughout the North
and in many of the Southern States, as but the
precursor Of stil more splendid victories yet to
follow To be sure, in few OF the States, where
elections have Just been held, our victories are
but partial, but it must be borne in mind that in
some Of them local issues have been mixed up
with the contest BY another year, when mem,
bers Of Congress are TO be chosen, we shall wit
ness such a triumph Of Republican principles in
all of then as shall remind us Of the year 1854,
when there was such. universal outpouring of
indigestion throughout the tree States at the do
inps of the Pierce administration. Surely, the
bred Scott decision and President Buchanans
letter to the New Haven memoriaiists cannot put
the people of the North into less offensive rela-
tion to,the authors and upholders Of such sbhor
rent doctrines
II the free States cannot all be enabled to shake
Of the domination of the slave Democracy, ar
rayed as that party now is exclusively under the
black banner of slavery, the failure so to do must
be owing to divisions IN own ranks, which
prevent any effective blow from being struck at
the common enemy. The recent victory in our
own State has exhibited union for success
which, if initiated in other States, will lead TO
similarly decisive triumphs of the friends of free
dom over the slavery propagandists. Let such an
union and such policy we have followed in
this campaign be adopted in other States, and
triumphant victory for freedom in 1860 is sure as

GARRoTING MINIsTER.-The Rev. Mr.
Lord, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church
in Harlem, was attacked on Wednesday even.
ing, in Second avenue, near 10th street, by
a desperate rutfian, who suddenly sprung
upon him and struck him a violent blow,
which was quickly followed by another in the
face. The reverend gentleman is stalwart,
well proportional, and athletic, and the high
wayman finding that the blows he gave failed
to bring his intended victim to the ground,
and thinking, no doubt, that he was likely to
catch Tartar, took to his heels. But, Mr..
Lord, not having been rendered hors du COM
bat, put after him, and after a chase around
two or three blocks run him into a grocery
store, where he secured the fellow and hand
ed him over to the police. He was safely
locked up in the station house and will un-
dergo an examination. Woe betide him if he
should come before Judge Russell. This is
not the first introduction Mr.. Lord has had to
garroter. Some time since. one of the fra.
ternity Of highwaymen attacked him in Brook
Ign, and struck him two blows before he was
able to act on the defensive, but he soon re-
covered himself and with his powerful arm
sent the rascal Keeling in the gutter, where he
left HIM lying and proceeded on his way

PROF. SPENCER AGAINST SPIRITUALIsM.-
This evening our readers will not forget the lee
ture and experiments at Horticultural Hall-and
we ara inclined to believe the hall will be full,
from the extraordinary announcement Of the Pro-
fessor, that he will do all the tricks, pantomimes
table tippings, spirit calling, and spirit appear
ing, that the most expert spirit medium can do !;
and the Professor is believer at all in Spiritual
ism, but declares that he will not only do all they
can do but will account for it on natural and phi.
losophical principles. Now is the time for the
spirits to come to the rescue oftheir cause. Their
adversary is in our midst. Let him be over
thrown. Now is your time to take the thousand
dollars offered, or the five thousand. Let all be
present tonight at the grand tournament between
the ''spirits Of earth" and the "spirts of air.,
There will be a great excitement among the spir.
it spheres. How will the battle end and who
will be the victor R.

HENRY WARD BEEoHER will give the opening
lecture before the Worcester Lyceum and Lii
brary Association, for the coming season, on
Thursday evening next at Mechanics Hall.
Heretofore, we have not had hall commensurate
with Mr.. Beecher's popularity. Hundreds have
been unable to obtain admittance to hear him,
and have gone away disappointed Now that a
hall of adequate dimensions to accommodate
three thousand, has been provided, it is hoped
and expected that all the admirers of that distin-
guished orator will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to listen to his stirring sentiments.

1t is laughable to us Western men to hear
Of the Eastern Banks talking of taking the
part of merchants in moving our crops. This
is not the difficulty. If the producer would
accept OF prices that would justify the West
ern merchant in purchasing, the money
would be forthcoming. Farmers will not sell

edge of the changed state of affairs. We
have been in the market all this fall endeav-
oring to purchase grain, for cash, at such pri-
ces as we though we could stand, on a declin-
ing market, aud we have not been able to
purchase five hundred bushels of wheat in all
the season. You cannot force things wait
and we will send the products of the West

FUeITfyE SLAVE LAWN trial before the
United States District Court at Columbus, Ohio
Jadge Ieavitt gave an Interpretation of some
proEisions of the Fugitive Slave Act that slightly
mihgates their baTbarity. He said
The gffynce of 'harboring' is not committed
unless the result is the actual prevention of the
reeapture Of the fugitive In regard 10 conceal.
ing, it implies actual knowledge, on the part Of
the person charged with the offence, that the par.
ty was fugitive slave, and that he concealed
him from observation in such way as to defeat the
vigilance aud intentions of the party seeking to
make the arrest. In speaking of this, l will re-
mark again that there must have been know
ledge that the person escaping a fugitive
slave, and that knowledge may be a poSitiUe
knowledge, or deduced from the circumstances of
the case. 1t has been decided in this and other
courts that, under this law and the old law of
l793, the offence Of har5oring and eonceang and
assisting in the escape Of negro was not con
Sasspnatea By merely administering to his toants,
ane riying TO him that charity and assistance
which might unite for his comfort and neeessi.

DurcH WEST INDIEs.- Holland has at length
decided 10 follow the example of England in
aboishing slavery in her West India Islands
and has issued proclamati on preparing the in
habitants for the event. the date Of which is to be
fixed hereafter. The planters are to be paid for
their slaves, at prices varying from 5000 to $40,
according to their age and sex. All emancipated
slaves are to contribute to fund destined to pay
back to the State the expenses of their emanci-
patton. The rights of these emancipated slaves
vii in some cases be defined, but in general they
wAi enjoy the same privileges the rest of the
inhabitants. The Buchanan administration
should send a special minister to induce the
Dutch to forego this act of 'maudlin philan thro-
py, the moral effect Of which is to bring dshonor
upon our great national institution"
