"THE RECORD This is the title OIL
a paper started some four or five months
since, at Blairsville, indiana co. Pa. II
has recently been purchased by Mr.. j.
F. CAMPBELL, formerly foreman of the
Herald, but more recently Of the Union
office, of this city.
Mr.. c., is workman, unsurpassed as
a mechanic, and in that department, will
produce paper of which he may be justly
proud.
The copy before us shows unmistaka-
bic marks of his mechanical skill. As
an editor, he has yet 10 try bis hand his
salntatory is creditable both TO his head
and his heart. In the management Of
the paper the editor announces that i! will
be characterized as Democratic, ever
faithfully adhering to the teachings Of our
Democratic fOrefathers." Hold on to
those ancient land marks, brother Camp
bell, and we are with you.
Mr.. G. has our best wishes for his

Religious Intelligence.


There has been in this city a religious
interest manifested IN the different minis
terial charges, within the last few weeks,
which is truly encouraging to the friends
ofmorality and piety.
The Presbyterian charges have partici-
pated largely in the manifestations of Di-
vine favor. The NJ. E. charges-white
and colored-haye likewise become much
revived, and their churches have been for
weeks crowded with anxious seekers Of
salvation. Many have professed to find
" The Pearl of great Price,"
In the 9th street NJ. P. Church, there
has beee protracted meeting in progress
for ten days attended with great interest.
One week ago, last Sabbath. Rev. GEORGE
BRowN, President of the Madison College,
paid us flying visit, on his way to Gin
cinnati; he preached three or four times,
to the ediffcation and profit of all who heard
him. The DIR. is now in his 66th year,
and he breaches with as much zeal and en-
ergy as youth of2l. Revivals of religion
are now general throughout the country
At East Liverpool, Col. CO., over 2O0 have
united with the M. P. Church, and at Sa-
lem, in the same county, about the same
number have joined the NJ. E. Church,
On the Mt. Pleasant circuit, NJ. P.
Church, at nearly all the appointments,
there are indications Of great good; and
many have experienced work ofgrace in
their hearts The Eastern and Western
Methodist Protestants bring the delightful
intelligence of extensive revivals through
out the length and breadth of the connect
ion; while the organs of the Presbyterian,
Baptist and Episcopal Methodist Churches,
contain like information.

The Great Democratic Party.

1t can no longer be questioned or de-
MED, that the great party which has ruled
the country so long and disastrousIy, is
now rent in twain, and that the two sec
tions are arrayed in bitter hostility against
each other one portion going with the
Administration for the admission of Kan.
as State with the Lecompton Constitu-
tion, the other opposing that measure "lo
the bitter end. That the breach can ever
be healed, no one of the leaders on either
side believe possible, and we hardly think
that lis reunion is even desired by any of
them. Certainly the leaders Of the LIE.
compton party can never again take Mr..
Douglas and his immediate friends into
their confidence and councils, and sure
we are that the latter will be quite as un.
likely TO desire any intimate association
with the former, or to be considered, at
any time hereafter, as their "natural al
lies" Their connection and friendship,
like that which,so long existed between
Burke and Fox, have been severed at a
single blow, never to be restored. By
this division Of that great, and heretofore
all powerful and overpowering patty, it
is laid PROSTATE and power.ess upon the
earth. and like giant of the forest, in its
fall it breaks, disturbs and overthrows
others standing within the reach of its
Brarean arms.
We might, had we sufficient space, in
dulge in some reflections naturally sug.
gested by the great event mentioned !;
but we have not. We can only say that
that party, which owed its success for so
many years 10 reiterated and habitual
frauds Of the most abomiuable kind per-
petrated in the name of suffrage, has at
last fell victim TO the last and most stu.
pendous of all frauds that can claim
paternity from its loins; that of the Ne.
bfaska act, and the series of outrages per-
petrated under it, from the first inception
Of that act down to the sending in Of the
Presidents message with the Lecompton
Constitution. Like the famous Phalaris,
inventor Of the brazen bull, the party
which originated and brought into exis.
tence The Kansas. Nebraska act, have been
the first and most signal victims of their
own contrivance. Even handed justice
has commended the chalice which they
had prepared for others to their own lips,
and the draught has proved to be a fatal
poison. In their reckless course in 1854
they scattered dragons teeth broadcast
along their path, which have sprung up
armed men to overthrow them.
That party has deserved its fate it ha'
rushed blindly and madly upon it, ant
now, PROSTATE upon the earth, like huge
monster which had been terrible to al
who dared oppose it, there are none tc
mourn its fate, none 10 shed tear ovel
its fall none to pronounce a eulogy at it
grave. Let the dead bury the dead

We have had so many occMions of late to refer in
terms Cf censure and rebuke 70 the Injustice, and
even cruelty and persecution, embodied BY South
ern Courts Of law, in decisions in which men Of
African origin were Observation-Disclosures in the
very spirit Of that dogma of Chief.Justce fancy,
which declares men of color to have no rgbts-.hat
il is not without great pleasure that We record q
recen. decision dictated by better spirit. And
what renders this decision the more welcome is,
that il comes from the Safe of Mississippi, which
first set the example so eagerly initiated in all the
ether Slave States Of bassg the Interpretation aud
application Of the law the principle that poverty,
DE- prsdation and Slavery are the natural aud legal
condition Of oil colOred men.
1t appears that a certain James Brown, citizen
of Mississippi, had among bis slaves several Of
which lie was himself the father-by no means, as
every body knows, very rare occurrence on
Southern plantations. In one respect, however,
this Mr.. Brown did d,yiate from the established
rule Of Mississippi decercy and proPriety for, IN
stead Of employing these children OF his in the
capacity Of hOuie servants, or selling them 10 the
slave traders. he sent them with their mother 10
Cincinnati, formally emancpated them, and es.ab-
l.ted them on farm in IGdiaDa. Nor did he stop
even here, but proceeded to make 3 viii By which
he ordered all bis Mississippi property to be sold,
lands AID slaves Included, and the net proceeds to
be deposited IN a Cincinnati Bank TO tie credit of
his emancipated children.
Relyipe upon some former decisions Of the Court
Of Errors Of Mississippi, it WAS attempted to defeat
this VII. Oh the ground frat, that the emancipation
vas void and secondly, that, admitting the lesatees
to be fee il was contrary to the policy of the State
to allow item to hold their property. Tney could
lot have held the Land and slaves, and therefore
they oush. 10! to be allowed to bold the Proceeds.
The Court, however, held that there was nothing in
the avs or policy of the State Of Mississippi
amounting 10 a general declaration of war asNnat
free negroes. 1t was only against free negroes 10
the State Of Mississippi that this hostility extended.
Though the tsstator could not give Liberty to h;s

required to do 80 BY some positive statute or when

Hi,tory informs Us that the 6rst cOuisions be-
tween England and her American colonies grew out
OF the struggle a. to who should do their manufac-
turing. A large infusion Of political Jealousy un-
doubt. dly pervaded the colonial policy, but the
jealousy Of American prosperity, both msnufactur-
rg and Commercial was the leading impulse which
governed those who composed the British Ministry.
This mpulse was coeva with the foundation Of the
colonies, and has 70 parallel in the treatment wh;h
either Spain or Portugal extended to their infan!
settlements on t. American continent 4 single
generation from their foundation had not elapsed

II is in vain for The ~ T. Times to attempt to
seek in the past history of the country jussi,a-

of protection or without any disguise at al, to

strong enough to resist u. The object in view in
the acquisition Of Louisiana was not so much any
extension of our territory as to give ~ the bene6
