4 probable that he would have sustained grave
injuries at their hands
There Is no doubt that this outrage was The re-.
suit Of preconceived plan. forming part Of the
programme Of the underground railroad organi-

in close conversation with the hoy. and the train
had no sooner arrived at Chatham than II was
surrounded and attacked in the manner de-
scribcd.
We do not know how far the Canadian autho-
rites were cognizant of or winked at these pro-
ccedings II seems to us impossible that such
project could have been organized and put into
execution without some intimation Of the fact
having reached them. Il Is a circumstance
worthy Of remark that the mob was headed by a
white man who claimed 10 DC ono Of her Ma
iesty' i officers, and that the assault was commit

being authorized to arrest him.

that all the devices Of the republican managers

communities, and that they have no right TO
force others to adopt their views or follow their
example The morality of slavery is one thing,
and the right Of free action is another. II the
principles contended for by the abolitionists are
sound, they resort TO inconsistent means of prov
ing their position by denying to the slave the
enjoyment of an independent will.
In any view Of the case, we have to congratu-
late the Canadians on being separated from the
Southerners by q Gordon Of free States. Were
they not thus fortunately situated, the conduct
Of the Chatham people might have involved
them in serious trouble.
A HAPPY MAN-The Hindoo rajsh who met
with such poor success in securing the shirt of
happy man, the virtues Of which would be equal
to all the maladies Of royalty would now, if
alive, give premium for the editor Of the Rich
mond Whsg or, rather, his shirt. We think so,
because this hopeful contemporary expects
brilliant triumph" to the opposition in 1860,
and says that the prospect puts him in state of
"indescribable joy"-that in short, he is +" as
happy in contemplation Of this prospect as it is
the privilege of mortals to be-" No doubt he is,
for from his long estrangement from the spoils,
he has, most likely, become one of Pharaoh
lean kine-empty and hungry, and eager for the
fray. In this view, the happy man who is a fe-
deral ofiice-holder in 1860 will, indeed, be worth
a premium.
COUNTING His CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE
HATcHED.--The Chicago Times counts upon the
success of the Douglas State ticket in Illinois by
plurality Of eleven or twelve thousand. and
upon majority of six or seven Douglas men in
the Legislature which is to refill his place in the
Senate. This will do to tell the marines; but six
or seven estimated majority in the Legislature is
pretty close shaving for an enthusiastic politi-
clan. Most likely it will be twice six or seven
the other way.
