The AwakeninR.

The news from all parts of the country
is, that the revival excitement is on the in
crease. The augmentipg ENTHUSIASM is es-
pecially observed in the large cities. In
New York i. is the absorbing and over
whelming sensation" Of the day. The
daily prayer meetings in that city are num-
bered by the dozens, and the attendants
BY the thousands. Although this ''great
awakening" was at first confined to the
large cities, it seems to be coming general.
There is agitation everywhere. The lay
men seem to have assumed the leadership
of the movement. The mass meetings IN
the churches for the purposes of prayer, aud
the incidents ON these occasions, form the
staple of conversation to a remarkable de-
gree. There is "fusion," as We say in
politics. between the various Protestant
sects, and the small points of doctrinal diff
ference are passed over. Presbytcrians,
Methodists, Episcopalians, Baptists, DC,
DC, are all taking "a long pull and strong
pull and pull altogether" to pull all the
souls sthe other way" from which the dew
lis in Byron's ''Vision of Judgment are
represented to have drawn them.

What Ohio viii Come to.

1t is stated by the San FranciscoAlta Cal
itornia that the slave Archy, who was de-
livered up to his ownes by the Supreme
Court of California, Notwithstanding that
owner voluntarily brought the slave to a
free State, and is now confined in tho
Stockton Jail by order of his master. CAL
ifornia therefore is in reality Slave State.
To like uses has our present Democratic
Legislature opened the jails of Ohio. A
Kentucky slave holder can now come to
Ohio with his slaves, keep them here as
long as it suits his convenience, and then
return to Kentucky, or, The thinks it moro
safe during his stay TO put his negroes in
Jail he can do so. Is not such use of Ohio
jails infamous! And this is the Legisla-
ture which proposes to hold another ses-
sion next winter! 1t had better go home
and let the majority which has worked all
winter for Kentucky and Virginia slave
holders, and received pay for such work
from the pockets of Ohio freemeu, hide
their heads, or, what would be better, no
gotiate sale of their bodies-as they al
ready have of their souls-to niger driv-
ers.- Ciereland Herald.

English Punishment of Big Ras-
Gals.

In this country when q financial swim
dler or defaulting public officer gets up in
to the hundred thousand, he is generally
pretty safe; and if he plumbers the public
to the amount Of half million he plays
the gentleman in Canada, or goes at large
and holds his head as high as honest men,
on nominal bail. The magnitude of the
swindle seems to partially sanctify the
crime in the eye of the administrators Of
justice, but woe TO the poor devil who
hires horse and neglects to return it, OF
passes bogus half dollar with criminal in
tent. For him the prison yawns, and the
felon brand is up to white heat.
In England, the administration of GRIM
inal law is less a respector of persons, and
gentlemen fnancier swindlers are dealt
with in way that is decidedly wholesome
The trial of the Directors of the Royal
British Bank, at Liverpool, for conspiring
to defraud the shareholders and the public
is an illustration. They were all gentle
men of standing, of position, of influence
and all that sort Of thing, yet they were
all convicted and sentenced as follows:-
Mr.. Cameron, Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Esdale wert
each sentenced to prison one year at hare
labor; Mr.. Kennedy to nine months; Mr.
Owen to six months; and Mr.. Mcleod t,
three months. That is the way they d.
it, and the only way to put stop to as
founding frauds and speculations.

From New Mexico.

The Santa Fe mail arrived at Kansas
City March SD. Lieut.. Beale with a
party Of three men came through with the
mail. Capt. Marcy had purchased thou
sand mules for the Army, and was to leave
for Utah March 25.
Lieut.. Beale left Los Angeles, Californ-
ia, January 10th, with % men. At the
Colorado river he sent his calnels back,
and came through from there with mules.
The weather was remarkably mild, for the
account says:
He brought no tents from Los Angeles,
slept comfortably every night, and not a
single night under cover. During the
whole time had but three inches of snow,
and that but once. He came through on
the 35th parallel, and is enthusiastic in his
declaration that it is the best natural route
for railroad in the world. He found
plenty of wood and water, relics of ancient
civilization, Notifications, wall, de-, every
where, showing that the country was once
densly populated with superior race
He adhered strictly to the 35th parallel,
and shortened Whipple's route 500 miles.
He was not molested by the Indians, Of
whom he found new race hitherto un-
known to the whites. He says that he
could have travelled the whole route with
five men as well as with twenty.
The camels are every way perfect sue
cess. They require no particular skill in
their management, and will thrive with the
least possible attention. The Turks and
Greeks imported to take charge of them
proved worse than useless.

The Old Guard Deserving.

1t is a matter notorious, that of the al
lies of this Administration, none have ad-
hered to it more devotedly and more bind
ly than the Roman Catholic Irish. This
arises from the fact that the Irish adherents
of the Romish Church are more complete
ly in subjeetion to the Priestly power than
any other class; and, as the Bishops and
Priests-as a general thing-throw their
influence for the Democratic party, the
I,ish Romanists have been led that way
without asking why or wherefore. But
symptoms of desertions in the ranks of even
the Roman Catholic Irish appear. The
editor of the Freenaan's journal, New
York-the organ of Arch Bishop Hughes
has been making an Anti-Lecompton
Speech at Hartford. But more significant
than this, is an article in the Freenaan'S
Journal which leaves 70 room for doubt
that even the Roman Catholics allies OF
Mr.. Buchanan are becoming disguised with
his servility. The Journal says:
The defeat of Mr. Fremont was judged
to be the happy overthrow of a bapless ad-
venturer, who was perfectly willing to try
the experiment of playing sectional Presi-
dent at the probable expense of the union
of the States. We at the North, who be-
Iieved in all the great ideas-both memo
ries and hopes-which cluster around the
Union, rejoiced in the success, not Of
names, nor of persons, but of principles, as
nobly established in the triumph of James
Buchanan; we had no misgivings Of his
fidelity to the doctrines which his election
embodied. But the President has disap-
pointed the hopes of has friends. He has
gone over to his enemies-he has rent the
Democratic party in twain. Extremes
have met, and the Administration, steering
wildly, has missed Scylla, and dashed up
on Charybdis. We defeated the sectional
candidate, but we are cursed with Sec
tional Administration-th the first in our his
tory. 1t is encouraging TO remember that
it was not sectional Administration that
was ELECTED,

LecOmptOn in the House.

According to advices from Washington
the Lecompton Constitution may pass ow-
inc to want of harmony among its oppo-
nents. 1t is said there are few Republi-
cans who refuse TO unite with the great
body of Republicans in voting for what is
known as Senator Crittenden's substitute.
This substitute provides for the submission
of the constitution again to the people OF
Kansas. and is not to become law until
fair vote is had.
We hold that the Administration should
be defeated, on the Lecompton Constltu-
ton, at all hazards, and that Republicans
should use the best tools at their command
to effect such object; even if those tools
are not precisely such as they would select
or such as they fancy. The passage Of
Lecompton, unadulterated, will inaugurate
civil war in Kansas and will throw the
power of this government into the hands o.
slavery; its defeat will dismember the
Democratic party which is the ally ofslave
ry-so that the two wings never again car
unite on the slavery issue. The country
is willing to trust this issue with the ma
iority of our Republican Representatives
to be fought through as they, in their wis
dom, shall deem best. We hope no three
or four will be so iInpracticable as to re-
fuse to 90 with that majority. On this
matter the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Post says:
1t is generally conceded that the oppo
sition will support Mr.. Crittenden's substi-
tute. Some Republicans will vote for il
as the best weapon at hand with which to
slay the Administration, and thus compel
peace in Kansas. 1t gives the people Of
Kansas the power, under their present
legislature, to crush out Lecompton. But
for this they could not be justified in voting
for it. Those who are here, as the repre-
sentatives of the people of Kansas, say
that they will be satisfied with it, and vii
hold themselves responsible TO make Kan
sas a free State under it. They woulc
prefer something better, but if by this sub
stitute they can prevent bloodshed ant
civil war, and secure freedom to Kansas
they are willing to take it. Republican.
can vote for it under protest, with this ex
planation. This substitute goes back tt
the Senate if it passes the House, and that
body will have to take the responsibility o
defeating it. By that time Kansas will
be here with her legaIly y-framed constitution
Then let US see the administration party
keep her out. Of the Uuion under it.

CRIME AND LIQUOR CONVICTIONS IN
SrARK.-At the recent Common Pleas in
Stark county, five burglars from Massillon
were convicted and sent to the Penitentia.

victed of same offence, fined $50 and i'm

ROBBERY IN KNOX TowNsHrP.- The
Treasurer of Knox township, MIR. VIM.
Shietzley, living about two and a half miles
Southeast of Georgetown, is reported to
have been robbed on Thursday night 18th
inst, of over 1900 of public money. 1t
is stated that the robbers went to his house
about IL o'clock at night, and after setting
fire to some straw in cow-shed, attached
to the barn, succeeded in arousing Mr.. S..
who seeing the light and supposing the
barn to be on fire, Immediately got up and
ran towards it. When near ther he discov-
cred one or two men under the overshoot,
and the thought Immediately crossed his
mind that they were after his money, and
he therefore turned and went back to the
house-got the money; which was bank
notes-put it into his coat pocket-seized
his gun, and again made towards the barn.
When few rods distant he was struck on
the head by club, the blow knocking
him down and his pocket was rifled of the
money. The alarm was given by his wife
ringing large dinner bell, which called to-
gether few neighbors, who put out the
fire, &c.-!Salem (O) Rep.

w-The Washington Union is daily
denouncing Douglas, Stuart, Broderick &
Co., as Apostates, and hands them over to
the Aboltionists. The Lecompton ques-
ton it styles-"The great test question not
only of parties, but of the Constitution and
the Union" 1t says of "the Democrats
who have recently apostacized," that:
As to the Democratic party, these apos-
tates are not with it or of it; because they
lead the onslaught of the abolitionists
against its policy and its men. The De-
mocracy, who are receiving their malignant
and violent blows, have no option but to
fight them as enemies. AS to the Black
Republican party, they seem to have as
little hesitation in recognizing the true po-
sition of these men. They openly boast
of them as co-laborers.
