Disgraceful Outrage at St. Cloud!

Disgraceful Outrage at St. Cloud!
Mrs. Sw1ssHELM's Press DESTROYED!
On the night of the 24th, of March the
office Of the St. Cloud Nsiter was broken
open, the press demolished, and the type
and contents of the Office thrown into the
street and river. A meeting of the citizens
was Immediately called for the ensuing
evening, to express their indignation at
this base attempt to stife free speech, and
crush an independent press. An immense
audience was convened, consisting Of about
the entire population of the town, besides
large delegations from Sank Rapids and
the surrounding country. +
The chief actor in this outrage, a man?
named Shepley, acknowledged publicly on
the following evening, that he destroyed
the press. There was no public excite
ment, nothing like mob, but in the dead
Of night under cover Of the darkness, these
craven cosoords, these midnight robbers,
broke into the Office, and demolished the
press by which sco.,an earned bread for
her children. But we forbear comment.
The sentiment Of the resolutions adopted
by the meeting will find an echo in the

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

1t is high time for the people of the coun-
try, and especially for the honest yeomanry
who get no share of ssthc spoils,'' to awake to
the startling state of our public affairs, throu'
the mismanagemcnt, profgacy and corruption
of the so-called democratic party" Here
few facts that cry out, as it were, in
tones of thunder for reform. They are dedu-
ccd from an able speech made in Congress on
the 9th may, by Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio:
1st. The expenditures of the Government,
for the last fiscal year, were $50 ,3lS, ,999.
Cd. The expenditures for the present fiscal
year will he from Ninety to One Hundred
Millions of dollars. The receipts for the same
time will be about $4,000 000-leaving de-
ficieEcy of over Forty Millions for which loans
have been made.
Sd. The expenses of the National Govern
ment are equal to So to each inhabitant, or
S23 TO every voter in the country. The ex-
pcnses have nearly trebled since Jackson s
time. While the population has increased
seven fold, the expenses have increased, up to
1857, thirty six fold, and up to this year forty
eight fold
4th. The expenses of the first year of Mr..
Buchanan's Administration are S5 100000
more than the entire expenses Of the Govern
| ment from its foundation to the close of JET
ferson's Administration.
5th. Comparing the expenses of 1910 and
1857, the increase is in every department.
The Naval establishment has doubled in cost,
the Military has more than doubled. the Civil
list has nearly trebled, the Miscellaneous ap-
preparations are seven times greater,
9th. AS an instance of this prodigal expen-
diturc, whilst S29.165 were in 1910 appropria.
ted to the President, his home, garden. and
ground; S56.200 are appropriated for 1859.
| 9TH. The printing of Congress, few years
since, cost S95.432 year. The Congress OF
| 1S53-'5f spent Sl.5l2. 91S year, for theii
| Printing. These contracts are vast plunder-
| gardens

A HERD OF Cows IN THE AIR.-The recent
Nd, was the most singular phenomenon, ac-
cordng to the accounts, we have ever read of.
The II Rockvlle ssJournaP' says further about it,
that there issued from it black smoke which
darkened the atmosphere. One gentleman
saw herd of cows apparently up in the air ,and
there is every reason to believe that they were
blown quarter of mile. 1t is said that the
horizon was filled with fragments of clothes,
shingles, limbs, &c. 1t rushed on at this rate
till it reached the Patuxent river, and there
its course was suddenly arrested.

CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.-A terrible
event occurred on Sunday last at the church
of the Rev. Mr.. Galbraith, Omitted Presbyte-
rian,) of Freeport, Armstrong county, Penn a.
ture and act of PRAYER when the church edi-
fee, where the congregation were worshiping,
was struck by lightning. A Mrs. Ramaley was
instantly killed and her two brothers, Israel
and George Watson, and her unmarried sister,
Miss Jane Watson, were severely but not dam
gerously injured. Mr.. Robert Morris, who oc-
cupied seat in front of Mrs. Ramaley, was
severely injured, but it was thought he would
recover,

THE NEED OF PRoTEcTIos.-The effects of a
low tariff upon the business OF the country,
encouraging excessive importations, are brief
iy stated in the following paragraph =
"Nations, like individuals, cannot for any
length of time buy more than they sell with
out running short of means. During the last
year our purchases from abroad ran up to the
enormous amount of over S370, 900 900, while
our sales TO foreign countries less than
So, 900 900, leaving at the close of the
year $50 ,000, 900 poorer in gold than we should
have been had our exports of the country, 9TH
sr than gold, equalIed our imports of the pro-
ducts OF other countries, resulting in wide
spread ruin. The process, since last Septem-
Der, has been one of liquidation. Our imports
have been small, while our exports have been
large in proportion, enabling us to recover
portion of the gold sent away in the mean
time, our workingmen, the bone and sinew of
the land, have lost in labor, either for entire
want of employment or for partial employ
ment at diminished wages, during the last six
months. not less than S100, 600 600, while the
manufacturers who employed them have suf-
fered severely, many having lost their entire
property.''

SENATOR CAMERON FOR THE PRESIDENCY
The Philadelphia Bulletin, Harrisburg Tele-
graph, Holiday sburg Register, Huntingdon
G!o5e, and number of other Pennsylvania
journals, have expressed their decided pref
erence for SIMON CAMERON, as the Peoples
candidate for President in 1860. Mr.. GAMER
on possesses great personal popularity in
this State, and his honest and Independent
course in the Senate has endeared him to the
friends of Freedom in our Territories and
Protection to American Industry, in all sec
tions of the Union. Should he be elected to
that high Office, Pennsylvania would have no
cause to blush, as she has now, for the occu-
pant of the White House. The Philadelphia
Eagauer-a paper inclined to neutrality as
parties are now Grganized-in noticing sever
al recent nominations for the Presidency says:
"The name of Gen. Cameron is also mention
ed in various quarters, in connection with the
first Office in the gift OF the American people
The General possesses many strong points OF
popularity"

PoIyT BoNITA.-The San Francisco Herald
of a late arrival, dcscants upon rumored
proposition to sell to the government piece
Of land at Point Bonita, for the erection Of a
fort, for the sum of $500, 200. The editor
says it is matter OF doubt as to whether the
whole county of Marin, in which Point Bonita
is located, would bring that much in the mar
ket to-day. A ranch, embracing some four or
five leagues of land, lying along the bay of
San Francisco, was sold short time ago for
$4,000 or Sl5 900, Point Bonita is spoken of
very proper place to erect fortifcaton,
but is presumed that enough of land for the
purpose could at any time be purchased for,
at the utmost, $1,000. The Herald appeals
to the Senators and Representatives of Cali
fornia in Congress to prevent the consumma-
tion of the ''bargain," as they are supposed
to he acquainted with the value of property
in that eighborhood.-Ba Sun.
This was one of Senator Gwin's pet schemes,
and it would have been consummated had not
the exposure of similar swindles prevented it.
The knowledge of his agency in this matter
may have prompted the stingiDg appellation
which Senator Wilson applied to him.

Three hundred feet of the track of the IL.
linois Central, below Burkevi.lc, eight miles
above Cairo, have been washed away and
across that point there is water from Charles
ton, NO., to the bluffs in Kentucky, a distance
of 80 miles. The inhabited portion of Mound
City is nearly all under water, more or less,
and the passage from house to house is chiefly
effected by means of boats and RATS. There
is three feet Of water in front of the Shelton
House. The ssLocust Mound,' whence the
place is named, has cracked in severa, places,
and is now slightly caving in. A false floor
has been arranged in the hotel, which obviates
the Inconvenience. About half mile of the
Mound City Railroad is under water, but the
trains all arrive and depart in time.

England is fast drifting towards a republi
can form or government. Jews are admitted
to Parliament, aud the property qualification
for membership is likely TO be abrogated. \
bill has passed the Commons to extend the
right of suffrage to all tenants in counties who
pay rental of f10, the same as in ihe boros' /;
and also bill to repeal church-tythes. 1t is
curious that just in proportion as England ap-
proXimates towards a republic, in about the
same proportion does the rancor against her
increase on this side of the Atlantic.

l. The GOLD EXCITEMENT IN Iowa is subsid-
ing almost as rapidly as it rose. The infec-
tion extends from point to point, occasioning
nine days wonderment at each, and then
things Quietly subside to their accustomed
channels. The latest discoveries of which
mention is made are in Henry, jackson and
Van Buren counties. Specimens, said to be
genuine, are exhibited as the result of research
at each Of these localities. Some experienced
miners concluded to try the sSlong tom''- so
well known to Californians-in order to make
thorough investigation. After one or two
days--washing they desisted, and have as yet
failed to report progress, although it is known
that they found some gold. We learn that
they have organized company, and as soon
as the water subsidies, will make thorough
trial of the s'tom.' There is no doubt what
ever that gold has been discovered in Central
Iowa, but the imperfect means used to sepa-
rate the metal from the soil, and the inexpe-
rienced manner in which operations have been
conducted, leaves US in the dark as to the ex-
tent and richness of the gold deposit Ioua

FREE TRADE VS.. THE LABoRISG CLASSES
Our democratic leaders, says the Bloomsbury
Republican are continually prating about their
regard for the interests of the laboring men,
and yet they turn round and persistently ad-
yocate the policy of Free T afe, than which
there is nothing SO ruinous to the interests of
this class. The laborer to be elevated to a
position of proud independence-the natural
position of every human being-must have
adequate protection. Industry to thrive and
prosper must be encouraged. The inevitable
tendency of Free Trade is to de grade the
la5oring man, because, like Southern Slave
agricultural, with its markets all abroad, it
makes him dependent on one resource alone.
Protection encourages the laboring man, it
fosters industry and stimulates a development
of home resources and the home manufacture
of homo products. 1t tends to bring the man.
utacturer and consumer together. Instead OF
driving half our population elsewhere, and
taking all our earnings to pay for foreign
goods, it gives opportunity for growth and de-
velopment to both.
The advocate of Free Trade then, no matter
how much he may profess regard for the la
boring classes, is practically the greatest ene-
my with whom that class have to contend in
this country.
