Freedoms Champions.

The National Era, of Washington
city recently gave a brief sketch of the
history Of those political men who had
bravely stepped forth with the almost
forlorn hope, in the struggle between
freedom and slavery in This country. 1t
surprised us to find in how many instan-
ces, even already, the most substantial
rewards Of popular approval lad been
achieved by northern men, most of them
Of comparatively little fame, hitherto,
whose sense Of duty had led them 10 sever
old party associations rather than be coun.
ted with the doughfaced allies of slavery.
Banks, Summer, Wilson, Burlingame,
Hale, Hamlin, Seward, Chase, Loyejoy,
the gallant veteran Giddings, the three
brothers Washburne, and host of others,
have been thus borne up in the arms Of
freedom to the high places in their own
states, or in the national councils, while
those who studded policy, and bowed to
the behests Of party and slavery, have
gone down 10 obscurity as the former rose
to prelerment. The lesson should not
be forgotten by the people generally, nor,
above all, by those who seek political
honor and success.
The man who has not sufficient dis
cernment 10 see that doughfaceism and
pro-slaveryism are "dead dogs" in the
free states, is too blind to be called a pol
itician. He trusts in nothing beyond
present success, and when his party is
defeated, he is undone. The man whose
chief concern is to be right-to have con-
science and truth as his counsellors--is
but for a moment cast down in defeat,
and rises up to a stronger confidence of
ultimate triumph. .....
The people are never long deceived as
10 the real value of those who seek to be
their public servants. Soon or late, fear
less and true hearted men like Hale,
Chase. Giddings, Seward, Banks. and
others of that class, are put forward as
the standard bearers in the peoples battle,
and the rewards of victory are immeasu.
rably enhanced by the consciousness
which such men have that they have moi

Great Times in Weston, Mo.-Great
Huhbub ahOut an Elouement.

huDDuD about an ElOpomenC.
The Weston tMO.) JGersOnian con-
tains an account of an elOpement case
occurring in that vicinity some time
since, when man named Silas May
absconded with Mrs. Mckee, a married
woman. The finale Of The case is as fol-
lows: Ftf
On Saturday last, May returned to
this county, with view Of running off
bis negroes, it was thought; and when
his presence was known, it created an
unusual degree Of feeling in the neigh
borhood, of which he was once promi-
nent and conspicuous member. The
people assembled in large numbers in
that vicinity, and organized meeting to
take sense of the people. They passed
resolution thai May should be notified
to leave the neighborhood, and that he
must do it in thirty minutes after he re.
ceived the notice. YH
The neighbors, then started to scour
the neighbOrhood, and find May. Most
of them we're unucky in getting upon his
track, but Mr.. F. NJ. Bell, an energetic
and persevering young man, in company
with man by the name of Barnes, finally
struck his trail about two miles from
Mays house, and chased him from ten
o'clock in the evening until three o'clock
in the morning. After search Of four
hours most Of the company gave up the
hunt, but Bell and Barnes stuck to their
work. Finally these two energetic men
came in sight Of May, who was well
mounted on fine, active young horse.-
But so were his pursuers, who gave chase
underwhip and spur over hard road,
and after mile or two close running, the
pursuers finding the bottom and speed Of
the three horses about equal, and demon.
s,rating that they could not get any near
er 10 The well mounted May, they hailed
him three times to stop and surrender,
which he refused to do. '.'
Bell and Barnes then opened fire up.
on May with Colts revolvers, firing above
him, which May returned gallanIIy.-
Finding that he showed fight, Bell and
Barnes lowered their shots, and two balls
having passed through Mays hat. he
bawIed out at the top Of his voice that be
would surrender, which he did. His
horse was soon taken possession Of by
the Marshal, who will sell it under the
execution which he has levied upon his
fine estate and personal property, in favor
of Mckee. .'.
An outraged community gave the des.
troyer Of domestic happiness his life, and
turned him loose upon the cold world,
packing off his saddle, as the last vestige
of fine fortune that has now passed from
his possession forever.

The Faribault Herald, in the course of
an able article on the subject Of newspa.
pers and their influence upon The towns in
which they are published. says:
"The announcement that newspaper
is published in town, at once gives ii a
reputation Of importance. A newspaper
adds to the value of town property in a
town where it is published This is a
fact not generally appreciated, but fact,
nevertheless and hence every property
holder in place is personally interested
in sustaining paper; no money that he
expends during the year returns him such
per cent, as that which he pays for his
home paper"
There are q number OF rich property
holders in this place. who are not sub

borrowing from their poorer neighbors,

NV ARRANGEsENT-One OF the greatest
wants Of both citizens and strangers in Washing
ton, at all times Is reliable Alphabetical Bust
ness Directory, which they can lay their hands
on at any time and place, and instantly ascertain
the name and location Of the principal firm or
Firms In any department Of business In the city.
TO supply this universal and ever-existng want,
we design shortly commencing the publication
OF such Directory in the Daily Star, and to that
end have directed an agent to call on our princi-
pal business firms, and give them opportunity
OF being represented in so desirable an arrange
ment. The circulation Of the Daily Star Is prob
ably double that of any other daily paper in the
world, published in city Of the population of
Washington In the District Of Columbia, IL Is
taken In nearly every famiIy-certainly in nearly
every one able to pay six cents per week for a
newsPaPer-and, besides, falls into the hands of
nearly every stranger that comes into the Dis
nict The advantage Of being represented in a
conspicuous Alphabetical Business Directory,
appearing daily in its columns, requires no COM
ment at our hands. In these days of general bust
ness shrewdness and enterprise, such an arrange
ment, we fancy, has only to be suggested to be
understood and appreciated.
