FanatIcism and Torture.

The local columns of The Rochester Adj
vertiser cantains the following account OF
conversion to Judaism, and the preparation
of horrible torture:
The people of the village of Newark,
Wayne county, were somewhat excited last
week in consequence of the proceedings of a
couple of men in their village, who appear to
have lost their mental equilibrium. We are
told that an itinerant, named Bishop, who
was in this city some time since, preaching
Judaism from the Court House steps, has
been engaged in his profession at Newark,
and has actually converted two citizens of
that place, named Martin and Rev, to the
Jewish faith. Unfortunately, the Newark
CONVEX Is are in the habit of being converted.
They were among the most ardent and faith
full believers in Millerism, and when Miller's
time for the end OF the world came, they were
found clothed in the ascension robes, ready to
depart.
These men have recently become converts
to the Jewish faith, and have set themselves
about atoning for their stupidity while they
were cropping in Christian darkness Among
other things which they thought they should
do to show their devotion to their new-found
faith. was to practice the rite of circumcision,
in barbarous manner, not called for by the
Mosaic law or Jewish custom. On Saturday
these misguided men actually. circumcised
their sons, one aged eight and the other
eleven years. This cruel and dangerous act
aroused the indignation of the people of the
village. and they had the men who perpetrai-
ed il arrested and put under bonds for their
good behavior. Hal they not been usually
mild aud inofiensive citizens, they would no
doubt have been subjected to personal vio-
lence.

What they Split on.

The following is the resolution which pre-
vented the fusion of the Americans and Re
publicans of New York:
Resolved, That the dicta propounded by the
Supreme Court of the Republic in the Dred
Scott decision. making every square mile OF
the Federal Territory primd facie Slave Terri
tory, by increasing the facility with which
such extension may be effected, deepens the
obligation resting upon us to resist the exten-
sion of Slavery, and despite such dicta OF the
Supreme Court, we affirm the power and duty
of Congress to exclude Slavery from the Ter
ritories of the United States.
The American Convention, very properly,
refused to adopt this resolution. The Repub-
lean Convention pursued the opposite course,
thus defeating all attempts to fuse.
The American Convention adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, which is as sound and ma
tional as any party of northern men have dared
to affirm:
Resotred, That we are opposed to the eXis-
tence and extension of Slavery into the Ter
ritorios of the United States, nevertheless that
we recognize the right of the native born and
naturaliZed citizens of the United States per-
mcnently residing in any Territory thereof, to
frame their Constitution and laws. and to
regulate their domestic and social affairs in
their own mode. subject only to the provisions
OF the Federal Constitution.

E5- Among the points ofdoctrine recently
set forth by the Washington Union for the in
structon of the faithful, are these: LIST, that
no one is to be an Office holder under Demo-
cratic Administration who will not contribute
voluntarily large per centage on his official
income. TO the support of Democratic princi-
pies, in supplying Democratic organizations
with the sinews of war. And as a corollary
to this. if he will not voluntarily contribute
as desired, he must BE- removed. I'd. Ii is bad
taste for candidates for the U. 5. Senate to
make an endeavor to enlghten the people of
the State they propose to represent, rs to their
principles and the theoretic and practical is
sues OF the day. The members of the Legis-
lature must be elected without reference to
whom they may prefer for Senator. Conse-
quently the people of the United States have
nothing To do with the Senate of the United
States. Hence the Democratic doctrine that
the people are not the basis of sovereignty in
republican form ofgovernment, and that the
Representatives chosen by the people are
greater than the people-that the Representa-
tive is greater than the things represented
that the people have only to signify their ac-
quiescence in their representation by certain
persons, who are TO be chosen not SO much TO
represent the people as their own personality
And as a corollary TO this, as the President
and Vice President of the United States are
elected, not by the people, but by the Elec-
toral College, the people in choosing Electors
must not take into consideration any particu-
lar person or persons, as "A candidate, or can
didates, for the Presidency or Vice Presidency,
but must contine their Interests ia the Presi-
Dental struggle to the individuality of the
candidates for Electors. Hence the bad taste
OF the people of the United States in the
Presidential campaign, in talking of various
persons likely 10 be before the Electoral
College, as aspirants for the highest Office,
within the gift OF a free people. Sd. The
President, during the four years that inter
vene between the formation of national plat
forms is-proyided he is a Democrat--invest-
ed with absolute authority to declare what is
and what is not Democratic, while those who
differ with him are traitors or fools. The
Union OF Sunday ridicules as "A bright idea"
of the Chicago Times and senator DOUGLAS,
that National Conventions alone can
determine what Is the law OF the party 0nce
In four years. then, we can have a reckoning.
In the meanwhile every man Is his own judge"
The Unions logic Is, that in the meantime
the President must be the jadge OF every man,
and is entitled TO demand that the opinions
OF every man are made 10 square with his
under the pains and penalties OF exeomma-
pication from ..the only party that can
govern this county. "-Cneiarah Commercial.

Es- The Democratic organs in Tennessee
are accusing the Hon. JOHN BELL whose term
in the Senate expires on the 4th of March
next, of design, in furtherance of which he
is carrying on an intrigue. to become a candid
ate for the House from the Nashville District.
Cincinnati Commercial
What is it that the Democratic organs of
Tennessee do not accuse JOHN BELL of? Their
guilty consciences are constantly suggesting
to them JOHN BELL in some new shape, keep
dread and alarm. When JOHN BELL desires
to represent this district in Congress, he will
not be under the necessity of intriguing" for
the nomination. But, we feel assured, he has
not thought of the position at all.

The N. O. Delta and Judge Douglass
SuuaIfer observation-disclosures ideas.

Judge DOUGLAS avowed the doctrine
in his speech at Freeport. that the ter
people of a territory, while in their
ritorial condition, have a right to establish
or prohibit slavery. This is the quintescence
of squatter sovereignty, which has been
repudiated by all parties at the South, with
few insignificant exceptions. The Washington
Union regards it as a reputation of the
bred Scott decision and the CINCINNATI plat
form, and as placing DOUGLAS irrevocably
beyond the pale of the great democratic
party The n. o.. Delta defends Judge
DOUGLAS by assuming that he occupies the
same position occupied for years by Southern
statesmen. The DeLta's argument runs thus:
The bred Scott decision declares that Con-
gress has no power under the Federal consti-
tuition, TO prohibit slavery in the territories,
neither have the people. But DOUGLAS holds
that the people may lawfully" exclude
slavery. This may be done by an omission
on the part of the territorial authorities to
pass laws for its protection. In which event
the bred Scott decision will not be violated
nor will slavery be prohibited by legal en-
actment; yet, in the absence of protection
slaves will not go into the territory and thus
will the exclusion be lawful" We do not
know when and by whom among the leading
statesmen of the South this insidious doctrine
has been held; but the Delta takes further
view of the subject:
at was therefore idle to say to us that we
had the right to take Our slaves into the Ter
ritories, when we would have no legal means
Of preserving or retaining them when there.
IL we have Constitutional right to take our
slaves into those Territories, it becomes the
duty of the Government to protect us in the
enjoyment of that right. 1t is for the very
purpose of securing and protecting such
rights that governments are instituted. If
the Territorial authorities, animated by
spirit of hostility to the STAKEHOLDER. refuse to
fulfill this duty. then it devolves upon the
Federal Government itself"
The Delta adds that the exigencies of the
discussion at Freeport did not require
DOUGLAS to go so far as this, and concludes
by p:oponnding the inquiry to the Wash
ington Union whether il is in favor of the inter
ference of the Federal government to protect
10y law, slave property in the territories.
We should like to see the Uaion's answer to
this question. If the Delta speaks the SEN
timents of any considerable proportion of
the Southern sham democracy, there is every
prospect that its boosted nationality will
come to an abrupt termination. Will the
Charleston convention of 1860, put the
Delta's new plank in the platform?
