JuDGE CuLvrR. Much comment. has re-
Gently been made upon the fact that Hon,
T.. d. Culver had been expelled from the
Baptist church in Williamsburg, for alleged
improper intimacy with a lady belonging
to the same church. Judge Culver was not
allowed to be present at the examination,
nor even allowed to see the proceedings. liz
Immediately summoned a council Of promi'
nent members OF the Baptist denomination
had a ro.hcaring Of the casc, and was ,ri-
umphan,ly indicated. The true secret OF
the charge il that he Is an nntislayery man
and his pa'tor pro slavery man with q
southern vito. These charges were trumped
up with a view Of driving the Judge from
the church. The lady in question is wild
ow, and Judge Culver settled her husbands
estate IN 1854. IL is while engaged IN this
that i, is alleged he was at her house a, i'm.
proper hours.

4 correspondent from Lewiston writes the

"Quito serious accident occurred in our

bath morning, water was discovered running
under the southern portion Of the mill be-
longing to the Hill Manufacturing Com
pauy," and before the water in tho main
canal could be drawn of, the water bad un-
dermined the foundation OF tho oiicc "a
separate buildIns), and about fifty feet OF
the mill, so that the front wall has settled,
breaking many Of the stone caps and sills Of
the windows consequently al the mills are
stopped to day, and will remain 80 until a
dam can DO pa, across the canal, which will
occupy some days time. The damage to the
mill will bo quite large. II has been stated
by some US much Us twenty-five thousand

Who are the "Fanaticsl 7"

The orators and newspaper writers be-
longing 10 the black democracy. have GER.
tain cant phrases aud caieh.words they in.
corporate into all their productions. They
talk a great deal about fauandun and Glaai.
-. just exactly as the drunken man when
Keeling aud tumblins about, declares ho is
the only steady man in the company.
These crack.braincd politicians. when
speaking Of the Republicans, bawl out " IA.
na'ies, or when speaking of their doctrines,
q" ilnaticism." In pursuing this course,
these tools Of the slave power show no, only
dgpra,i,y, but weakness. Then again, how
often you will hear them talking with great
lippancy about " scetionalism " and "na-
tionality," and about the national democ-
ricy" and " sectional republicans. Now
oil this comes with beautiful grace from
men belonging to a party, having at mos,
only two isas-ohe s'arcry and the other
the spoils. No party that ever lived was
ever STEPPED down to the very dregs in Soc
tionalism as is the so-callcl democracy, Ne
gro slavery is the great, all absorbing. over
shadowins idea; how to PerPctuate, strength
en- and spread it, is the greatest soliei,ude
otall its leaders.
Out Of the twenty-five or thirty million.
OF American inhabitants, this party only
legislaies for about three hundred and fifty
thousand, and these live in " section, -
one par, Of the country. We mean the
slave-holdsrs.
Taeso three hundred and fifty thousand
aristOcratis nabobs, control the whole par.

and control its entire action. SoeiioHaim
