The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1858-10-14

In 1850, Henry Clay gave utterance
to the following sentiments:
1.-The Constitution neither created,
nor does it continue slavery"
"You cannot put your finger upon
any part of the Constitution which con-
veys the right or the power to carry
slaves from one of the States of the
Union to any Territory of the United
States"
elf slaves are voluntarily carried
into such jurisdiction, their chains in
stantly drop off, and they become free,
emancipated, liberated from their bon
dage.'"
These sentiments are those to-day
entertained by the Republican party,
and are in direct conflict with the
bred Scott decision and the Douglas,
or, Buchanan Democracy. Note the
contrast:
Slavery exists in Kansas under the
Constitution of the United States.
James Buchanan.
All must abide by the decision Of
the Courts" Douglas at Chicago.
C. If the Constitution carries slavery
there Tin the Territories without affirm
alive law, no power on earth can take
it away" Douglas at Chicago.

f.. w. REYNOLDS.

The nomination of this gentleman
for Representative from the Second
District of this county, is cordially re-
sponded to by the voters throughout
the District, The Convention, the
proceedings of which will be found in
another column, after three ballots,
gave him the nomination with entire
unanimity, and with much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Reynolds is firm and consistent
Republican, and an honest and upright
citizen. He has been twice elected
Supervisor, and has discharged the du
ties of the Office with credit both to
himself and his Constituents. That he
will be triumphantly elected there is nc
doubt, and that he will make true and
faithful representative o. the people, is
equally certain.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1858-10-14
Col. Whitney Jones.

The nomination of this gentleman to
the Senate is received with very gen.
eral satisfaction. All who know him
will cordially respond to the Lansing
Republicans commentator, that his
obliging manners, his kindness ofheart,
his liberality, and above all his inflexi--
bic integrity, have served to render =
thorough and favorable appreciation Of
his character, as extensive as the ao-
quaintance with him. His industry a.
a public officer has been untiring, his
zeal in the public service unexcelIed.
and his ability as public man, will
successfully challenge the bitteres(
scrutiny of his opponents. Like TIE
fother Republican candidates, he win
without doubt, be assailed, because
having done his duty, in all public sta
tions without fear or favor; be has
doubtless made enemies among the
more bitter and INSCRIPTIONS Of his
partisan opponents-with judicious
Democrats, he stands as among his
neighbors generally, as man of fine
capacity, industry and sagacity, with.
out reproach.-Dct, 4dc.

THE" "FUGITIvE SLAVE MOB IN
CANADA."-The New York Tribune
thus punctures the story of ga most
atrocious and violent outrage" where
by it is stated that Mr.. w. K. Merwin
of St. Louis was forcibly dispossessed
of mulatto servant boy, while in the
cars in Canada:
1. w. II. Merwin is not Southern
gentleman, but northern travelling
agent for a house in this city.
2. He is not the legal owner of any
slave.
8. If he pretended to own this mu-
latto boy he mnst have been cheating
somehow, for he has assured his en-
ployers here that he did not own him.
A. The boy was almost certainly free
born; but, at all events, he was made
free by being taken through the free
States and into Canada, even if he had
been slave before.
On the whole we strongly suspect
that Mr.. w. r. Merwin will pocket the
outrage" and will not hereafter claim
the boy.

Prepare for the last Duty.

The Lansing Republican says that
the last, and by far the most important
duty of the campaign, is to see to it,
that every school district has its active
working committee, whose business it
is to see that every man is at the polls
who will vote the Republican ticket.
1t is more work, takes more time, and
costs more money, to get the last ten
men to each poll, than the first ninety.
When there is no particular excitement
present, as in this canvass, something
or other must operate to call men out
to the polls-assiduity, work, nay, alb
solute importantly alone can fill this
demand, and unless it is filed, the Re-
publican ticket suffers. The excite
ment of holiday, and of free whis-
key will bring our opponents out with
full ranks, but not SO with Republicans.
What few Of them want whiskey can
buy it, and ninety-nine hundreths OF
them have more business at home, than
they have time to transact. Such men
require to be importuned and reminded
of the necessity of devoting half day
to pressing political duties, and unless
they are SO urged and importuned,
they will quietly come to the conclusion
to let politicians attend to election, upon
the supposition that it is all well
enough any how. Workers should not
be afraid to walk into shops, stores
offices, fields, mills and factories, and
collar these men and drag them up to
the polls.

The Atlantic Telegraph.

1t is now more than a month since
any message was sent or received over
the Atlantic Gable, and the conviction
is gradually forcing itself upon the
public that the Telegraph, so far as
this line is concernedis failure. The
N. Y. Tribune of the 18th inst, publish.
es statement from Mr.. G. F. Var
ley, Electrician of the Electric and In
ternational Telegraph Company, which
would seem to prove that the eastern
half of the Gable was pretty much use
less when it was laid down from the
Agamemnon, there being many seri.
Gus leaks in it even then; that owing to
the weakness of the currents, no mes.
sage sent from Newfoundland to Va.
lentia has ever been recorded by the
instruments, the two or three dispatch.
es transmitted being read from the de-
Elections of the galvanometer alone
that, in addition to the great leak OF
fault some 27O miles from Valentia
there is another quite as serious, some
500 miles or more from that place
that the copper conductor is too small
at any rate, and that the very power
full electric currents required, both by
the existence of the leaks and the
smallness of the wire, must very soon
burn up the gutta percha near every
point where the water already pene
trates to the wire. Thus, if Mr.
Marley is to be taken as authority the
cable was little better than worthless
when it was put down and must soon
be totally destroyed as conductor
of elect: city, by the action of the gal
vanic currents constantly applied 10 it
1t is time, says the 1ribasne, to begir
to lay another one; but, beforehand
we trust the Company will not thinl
it beneath them to abandon the reck
less hap-hazard method they have thus
far pursued, and have the subject thor
ougly investigated before setting about
the work.

CoRwIN ON " No MORE SLAVE
STATES. Gov. Corwin recently made
a speech at Xenia, Ohio, in which he
discussed, amongst other things, the
Lecompton policy of the administra-
ton. and the effect under its construc-
ton, of the bred Scott decisian upon
the question of freedom in the Terrific
ries. After speaking of the grounds
assumed by the president, that under
that decision, Kansas was as much a
slave State as Georgia or South Caro-
lima, he said:
eff that decision is to be carried out,
and the Territories are thus to be in
oculated with slavery, and under this
unfair influence, State is formed with
slave constitution, I aoiH neoer vott
for it,! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER
You may roast me alive-I haven't
much fat, but it shall be all tried on,
before will vote to admit slave State
under such circumstances.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE BURNED
The New York Crystal Palace was
discovered to be on fire, about5 o'clock
on the evening of the 5th inst, and in
less than an hour nothing remained
of this stately edifce but an unsightly
heap of ruins. 1t being during the ex-
hibition of the fair, there were many
articles on exhibition, the greater part
of which were lost. At the time of the
fire there were about 1000 persons
present, but it is believed that no one
was materially injured. The cause OF
the fire is unknown, but it is generally
thought to have been the work of ar
incendiary. The loss is estimated at 9
million of dollars. 49,

Election Returns.

The returns from Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana elections which were
held on Tuesday last, are very meagre,
though the news is highly encouraging.
In each Of these States there are large
Republican gains. In Ohio, the Re
publicans have gained one Congress
man in the Second District. The prob
abilities are that the Republican State
ticket is elected in all three States
Iowa has gone democratic by from
800 to 500.

DhoWNSVlLLE, Oept. 20, %.
Ed. REPUBLICAN, Wishing to gain
information in regard to the manufac-
ture of sugar from the Sorghum, or
Sugar Cane, / take the liberty to ad-
dress you, thinking that through the
columns of your paper you may give
the required information. ] wish to
know through what process it is nec-
essary to take it in order to make the
best quailityssof sugar, CATER the juice
is obtained. How to cleanse it, and
also when it should be harvested;
whether frost will injure it or not
how long before it should be worked
up after it is harvested, &c. If you
will give the required information you
viii oblige. n S.H. NJ.
From our own observation, we can
give our correspondent 70 information
in regard to the inquiries set forth in
the above. In "Moore's Rural New
Yorker" of Sept. 18th, and 25th, there
is long article written by Mr.. j. S.
Lowering, giving his experiments in the
manufacture and cure of the sugar cane,
to whichswe refer Mr.. M.
Mr.. Coverings practice is to cut the
sorghum when the seeds are at least three
fourths ripe, or when hard frost has
come. Cut the canes just above the
ground strip off the leaves and seed
heads, and it is ready for the mill.
Mr.. L. cuts the cane into two parts,
separating the eight lower joints from
the upper ones. The supper joints con-
tain little sugar but will make good
molassess. From the experiments
made by Mr.. Lowering, he draws the
following conclusions = lrelr
LIST. That it is obvious that there is
eliminating point in the development
of the sugar in the cane, which is the
best time for sugar making. This
point or season / consider to be, when
most if not all the seeds are ripe, and
after several frosts; say when the
temperature falls to 25 or 80 deg. Fab.
I'd. That the frost, or even hard
freezing, does not injure the Juice nor
the sugar, bur that warm, Indian sum
mer weather, after the frost and hard
freezing, does injure them very mate
rally, and reduces both quantity and
quality.
Sd. That if the cane is cut and
housed, or shocked in the field when
in its most favorable condition, it will
probably remain unchanged for long
time. *
18th. That when the juice is obtained
the process should proceed continu
ously and without delay.
5th. That the Qualification should be
as perfect as possible by the time the
density reaches Is deg. Beaume, the
syrup having the appearance of good
brandy. aa dfs
9th. That although eggs were used
in these small experiments, on account
of their convenience, bullock's blood i
to be had is equally good, and the milk
of lime alone will answer the purpose
in the latter case, however, more con
slant and prolonged skimming will bt
required to produce perfect clarifica
ton, which is highly important.
7thz That concentration, o.
boiling down, after Qualification shout,
be as rapid rs possible without scorch
ing, shallow evaporators being tn
best.
With these conditions secured, it j
about as easy to make good sugar from
the Chinese Sugar Cane as to make
pot of good mush, and much easier thar
to make good kettle of apple butter

The Republican nominees are all

tiers of the State to compare the men
candidly, and they can come to no 9TH
err conclusion than that the weight OF

In public life is on the side of the Re-
publicans. Our present members are
well known as true northern men,
able and diligent, honest, and devoted
to the interest of their constituency.
In the national councils Mr.. KELLOGG
is an untried man, but he is an up
right and able man, and will grow in
esteem in proportion as he is tried. On
the Democratic side Mr.. COOPER was
nominated for his lack of positive quail
tiles and on account of former resi-
dencc in Jackson county. As nothing
much could be said against him polit-
ically, so nothing could be said for
him politically. 1t was hoped his for
mer location-if indeed he shall return
from his present residence in St. Louis
would take some advantage. of a
temporary local disturbance in the Re
publican ranks, but his fitness for the
Office was never once thought of
Judge Stacy was nominated for pre-
>cisely similar reasons. Mr.. CHURCH is
hpetent enough, but has just about

AVIS is personally an agreeable mar
