Melancholy Accident.

Mr.. aJoHN WHERLY, an old and re-
spectacle citizen of Twin Township, in
this County, lost his life on Friday OF
last week by the kick ofone of his horses
The. circumstances as we learned them
are about these. Mr.. WHERLY went
to the barn in order to perform some
duty there, and in a short time was
met by his son returning to the house
covered with blood, and upon inquiry
as to whether he was much hurt, re-
piled, 81 think not" but upon e1ami-
nation of two Physicians his skull was
found dreadfully fractured. After lin
,gering in the most intense agony until
Friday evening he expired, only survi-
wing the accident about forty-eight
hours. Truly, "In the midst of life,
we are in Death"
Preble County Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1857-1859, 1858-02-25

with all those concessions and
explanations, we see no necessity of
~prolonging this contest. and the Presi-
dents wish to have Kansas admitted
this session and take this vexed question
out of the general politics Of the coun-
try, will be shared in by all well-dispo-
sed parties"
We find the foregoing in the Cleve-
land (Ohio) Plain Dealer, and we re-
joice TO notice that the considerations so
fully developed in the Presidents Mes
sage on the admission of Kansas have
persuaded the Plain Dealer to forego its
objections to that admission and to ac-
quiesce in the propriety of the policy
urged by Mr.. Buchanan. This acqies-
cence is significant as indicating a re-
consideration of the question by the
people, and that the popular verdict is
in favor of the only feasible and speedy
mode of disposing of the Kansas ques-
ton. ..-t. r

Buving Out Ihe Mormons.

The Boston Posts Washington letter
writer asserts emphaticiy that the prop
osition for the Government TO buy out
the Mormons of Utah was made to the
delegate from Utah "by a distinguished
Senator, and that Mr.. Bern
hisel received it with a degree of en-
thusiasm, and that he ventured to assert
confident that it would receive the as
sent of Brigham Young" That, it will
occur to the reader, is a very different
affair from the declaration that the Pres
ldent had considered the proposition
favorably, in an audience with the Nor
mon delegate. The Washington Union,
says, in c~ontradicting the report:
The landsiof Salt Lake Valley have
not, we believe been yet sold to the
Mormons. They occupyt them as. squat
ters, and have never yet derived titles
from the Government. 1t would be re-
markable if the Government should ne
gotiate for the purchase Gifts own lands.

DeIcriOus N0nsenSe,

The Ohio Statesman in denying the
power of the people of Kansas to alter
their constitution without revolution
uses this language:-
This delerious nonsense is the last ar
gumento of the Washington Union, which
pompously declares, that, notwithstan-
ding the provision for alteration or a
mendment after 1864, the people can
alter their constitution when they like.
We know they can, just as the people
of England or France can change their
monarch whenever they like, by a re-
volution.
The President says that it may be
done: and Senator BROWN of Mississip-
pi, shows in the following extract hou
it may be lone peacea6y-
Mr.. Pugh, of Ohio asked whether Mr.
Brown believed that the people of Kan
sas could alter the constitutin prior to
1864. lie merely desire to ascertain
the Senator's opinion.
Mr.. Brown admitted that right, even
ifit had been declared on every page of
that instrument that it should not be al
tered. All he demanded was that, this
right should be exercised under the
forms of law and not by mob violence.
Mr.. Trumbull asked whether the Sen
ator would admit that the Legislature
could pass alaw to change the constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Brown replied that he had not
expected to be asked to point out to the
Republicans how the Constitution could
be changed, but would tell them. If
they have not already secured a major
ity in the Legislature, when the next
election comes on let them go to the
polls like quiet, peaceably citizens, and
elect their Legislature and their Gov
ernor. Then let the Legislature APP
point a day when the poole themselves
can elect delegates to 4 convention
which shall change it. The Legislature
has no power to change a word or syl-
liable ofthe Constitution, but can APP
point a aly when the people can assem-
BILE under the forms of law and elect a
convention which can change the Con-
stitution even against the words of the
Constitution itself.
But this is all "delirous nonsense" to
the statesman and all other black repub-
Leans sheets. We think the above
paragraph from the statesman is the
quintessence Of delerious nonsense.

Letter nrom Senator Pugh.

The following letter from Senator
PUGH to the New York Herald will, we
hope, quiet the alarm of the Black-Re-
publican members of the Ohio Legisla-
ture:
"WAsu1NGToN, February II, 1858.
'To the Editor ofthe New York Herald ::
"SIR-In the letter of your Washing
ton correspondent, published yesterday,
1 find this paragraph:
THE Democratic members of the
Ohio Legislature have written to Sena-
tor Pugh, withdrawing all instructions
as to how he shall vote on the Kansas
question"
''Justice to the Democratic members
of the Ohio Legislature, as we'll as my
self, requires that 1 should contradict
the statement here made. 1 have not
received any letter withdrawing the in
structions to which your correspondent

Crime.

Never have we noticed as many rob
berries and assassinations in Cincinnati,
as we have lately in the papers of that
City. Whether this originates from
hard times or from an over plush of
desperadoes in the Queen City we are
unable to say. One thing is certain,
however, it is a lamentable fact hat not
a-night passes, but some one or other
is made a victim to the garrote or slung
shot. In a City such as that, where
hundreds are daily crying for bread
and the necessaries oflife to exist upon
it is little wonder that robbery, prosti-
tuition, and even murder, is resorted to,
when humanity turns a deaf ear to the
doleful and melancholy entreaties-
give me something to eat. How true

res. Can they see no similarity between
the present position of the party and its
position at the time Jackson removed
the deposits from the United States
Bank?
When Jackson saw theimmense pow
er welded by that monster whose arms
reached into every State of the Union,
whose influence controlled the monetary
affairs of the world, and was felt in ev-
cry ballot box in the country, which
could flood the country with paper
money n day, and withdraw it COM
pletely the next, he resolved hat it
should cease to exist, he removed the
deposits.
Then, as now, the shaky Democrats
deserted the party-the press was loud
in its denunciation, but he stood unter-
rifed and undismayed as Bucl man
standhaK-and mark the lesson.-~
But a few years past, and Jackson
was extolled as a wise, far-seeing and
bold statesman; and those men who
deserted him and the party either came
back, or Joined the opposition.
We say, let the present learn from
the past; let those Democrats whoare de-
serting the bold and manly statesman
now at the helm, read the history of the
administration of Andrew Jackson. 1t
will be a benefit to them hereafter.
James Buchanan now stands where
Andrew Jackson stood then. The one
destroyed a monster that was dcsolating
the country by its monetary influence.
The other will crush a fanatical and
sectional party, whose chief aim is to
destroy the country, that they may fat
ten upon its dismembered carcass.

An Important POint-QuestiOns
Fairly Put and SquarcIy An


The idea has been industriously pro-
claimed by the Black Republicans and
others, that inasmuch as the Lecompton
Constitution makes no provision for its
amendment before 1864, therefore, the
people have no right to change it before
that time. 1t has also been argued by
the Black Republicans that this is the
Southern doctrine. How rue this is,
may be gathered from the following
pointed colloquy which we clip from the
midst of a speech made last week in the
United States Senate by Gov. Brown of
of Mississippi:
"Mr. Pugh inquired whether the Sen
ator from Mississippi, (Mr. Brown be-
lieved the people of Kansas could alter
the Constitution prior to-1S64. He on
ly desired to ascertain the Senators opin-
ion.
"Mr. Brown replied that he had ad-
mitted that right, and should lave ad-
mitted it, even had it been declared on
every page of that instrument that it
should not be altered. AL that he de-
manded was that this right should be
exercised under the forms of law, and
not by mob violence.
"Mr. Trumbull inquired whether the
Senator would admit that the legislature
could pass a law to change the constitu-
ton.
"Mr. Brown said that he did not ex-
pect to be asked to Point out to republi-
cans how the constitution could be
changed; but he would tell them. If
they have cot already secured a MAORI
tv III the legislature, when the next
election comes on, let them go to the
polls like quiet, peaceable, and orderly
citizens, and elect their legislature and

appoint a day when the people them
selves can elect delegates to a oonven-
ton which shall change it. The Iegis1a-
ture has no power to change a word or
syllable of the constitution but they
can appoint a day when the PEOPLE
can assemble under the forms IF taw and

mothers a WORD with you.

"Throw physic to the dogs" says
Macbeth. Very much of it ought to be
thrown to them; bnt there is some phys
ic that a discreet dog would hesitate to
touch. The world, however, grows VII
ser every time it turns upon its axis
The horrible compounds of former days
are falling into disuse-especially the
mineral potions, abhorrent alike to
taste and smell, with which our grand
mothers were wont to drug US. Above
are rapidly becoming obsolete, and par
ents begin to recognize the danger, as
we'll as the cruelty, of forcing upon their
struggling offspring black ~draughts,
surcharged with calomel, and favored
with jalap. Better than all, acommand-
ing remedy for internal worms of every
species, against which no objection can
possibly be urged, has recently been in
troduced. 1t is wholly vegetable and
really delicious. This, no one who has
seen and tasted KEMP's Worm PASTEL
LES, will deny. OF a delicate rose col
or, and having the appearance and fla
vor of a genuine candy, they are entire
ly unlike a medicine. IF you should
put one of the Pastilles in the mouth of
a child and then call itphysic, the little
rogue would laugh in your face.
In view of the alarming increase in
the mortality among children in this
country, and of the fact, that il has been
referred, By distinguished medical men,
to vernieular disease, we consider Mr..
KEMP's palatable preparation a most
opportune invention. He deserves a
vote of thanks from all the mothers in
the Union, for two reasons. In the
first place his PAsTILLEs do their Office
effectually and without pain, and in the
second place it is not painful to admin
lister them. There is no kicking, no
struggling, no screaming-or if there
belt IS to get at the remedy, not
to get aaoay from it. We. wish
somebody would invent equally agreea-
BILE medicines for grown people; and, by
the way, we imagine that grown people
would not be troubled so much with
sickness if treated properly when little

parents of terrible Diseases in manhood.

An In Independent Treasury.

The following is said to be a partial
synopsis of the Independent Treasury
bill recently introduced into the Ohio
Senate. The bill is very lengthy. It
will be seen that the Legislature is
looking to gold and silver as the only
kind of money to be received for taxes
after the year 1870, The banks, we
apprehend, will hardly appreciate this
bill if it becomes a law:
at provides for the gradual %collec-
ton of taxes in specie. Next year no
bills less than five dollars can be taken
for taxes. After 1860, none less than
ten, after 1865, none less than twenty,
and after 1870, no bills of any kind shall
be taken. 1t provides also, that as soon
a s taxes for the State are paid into the
State Treasury, all bills are to be u
back upon the banks, and specie taken
in their stead. All monies received for
taxes for county purposes, received in
bank paper, are to be run back upon
the banks by the county Treasurers,
and specie taken in stead thereof. The
specie is then to be locked up in the
State and county Treasures. 1t pro
vides for an examination four times a
year by certain parties, into the vaults
of the State Treasury, and also into
those of the counties.
