decided the law that takes the az.

A YOUNG LADY in Cincinnati, Miss
Fanny Hall, has received damages
OF $500 against one Vandergrifi

but was proved to be sane, and was
then discharged. The suit has been
tried three times. The first Jury
gave her a verdict OF $4,000. A
new trial was had. and the jury
failed to agree. Tho third time
she was again successful, and this
ends the case.

Republication must be Mainta ined.


The Logan Republican has we'll
considered article on The "new par.
ty" project, the object of which is to
divide the Republican ranks by the
plausible but deceptive argument
that the Republicans must ignore the
anti.slavery article iu its creed -
The bulk Of the Republican papers
in Ohio scout tho proposition as sui.
cidal and impossible. The Logan
Republican says:
The Issue is plain. and no smart
( cites can obscure it. The limita-
ton OF slavery and the extention OF
ireedom-tiis is the Republican
ground, and must be to the end
The declaration OF Mr.. Marshall, Of
Kentucky, in his late speech, that
the Republicans had given up the
principle of opposition to the in
crease Of slave states, is a grave mis-
take. II has done no such thing,
and when it does it will have yield
ed everything, and will be tho Re.
publican party no longer. When it
shall have sunk to the miserable
level of Indifference between free
dom and slavery, it will be unwor
thy the name it bears, and which so
well BELTS it; and. having thus iden-
titled itself with The slave Democra-
cy, will die the uniamented death it
so we'll deserves. The fundamental
principle in the creed of the sham
Democracy is the perversion Of the
powers Of the Federal Government
for the bchoof Of slavery. The Re
publican party say they shall not he
so perverted, but that, in the Ian
guagc of Gov. Chase. Slavery shall
be denationalized and the influence
Of the National Government placed
upon the side of freedom" The is.
sue could not be palmer, and he that
lie not heartily with us is against us,
and his proper place is in the "Dem-
ncratic" ranks. Henceforth there
can be but Two parties until slavery
and the General Government are di.
vorced.
