Demoralized Past Reform.

Col. Forney in his capacity as Chairman OF
the Democratic State Rights Convention OF
Pennsylvania, says the Newark Mercury, has
issued a STIRRING address to his sympathisers,
in which he, as has been his habit, strictly
maintains the right of the people Of a terrific
ry to legislate in reference to slavery. He
denounces the Administration for attempting
to force upon the Democracy of Pennsylvania
the doctrine that the people of a territory
have no control over the subject of slavery.
He reviews the recent address from the Office
holding committee of Robert Tyler, and cuts
it up terribly. He also quotes the record in
relation to'the President and Secretary Cobb,
showing that Of late they stood upon the
platform, that he (Col. Forney) now occupies.
His quotation from Secretary Cobb's speech
at Westchester, Pa, in 1859, is good enough
to reproduce: e
He declared that he would not plant sla-
very upon the soil of any portion of Gods
earth against the will of the people;' that
the Government of the people;' and that
practically the majority of the people repre-
sented in the Territorial Legislature would
decide the slavery question: Whether he
continued, they decide it by prohibiting il
or by refusing to pass a law to protect it, con.
tended for by the other party. is immaterial--
a majority of the people. by the action of the
Territorial Legislature, will decide the ques
ton, and all must abide the decision when
made.'"
This was where all the party stood, or pre-.
tended to stand in 1856, and even standing
thus, they could carry but five out of sixteen
Free States. These citations of old records
are, mile stones, marking the progress of the
party corruption. Now, they contend that
slavery can go into all the territories whether
the people want it or not, that those opposed
to it can not legislate against it, and an iniu-
entail section of the party goes so far as to
say that these very people, detesting slavery
as they may, and opposed to its existence
among them, must still enact laws for its pro-
lection, and that if they refuse, then Congress
must legislate for the protection of slavery
Col. Forney viii find it a heavy business to
reform such a party as this. Its course is
steadily downward, and those who disapproye
it had best separate from it.

Robbery in Freehold.

The Fancy Store of Misses Forman and
Threckmorton, and the Millinery Store Of
Misses ~Throckmorton, of this village, were
entered by burglars, on Tuesday night last,
and goods.to a large amount taken therefrom.
Every article of value was taken. One of the
stores was entered by means of a false key, and
the other by boring. 1t will be remembered
that these stores were robbed some eighteen
months since, and from the manner they were
entered upon this occasion, and the general
appearance of things in the stores, upon the
morning following the robbery there is no doubt
but what the same Williams acted in both ca
ses. This is certainly a most aggrivating
state of affairs, that such a set of scoundrels
can go about plundering without check, and
apparently no way or means to deter them.--
it seems impossible to gain the least clue to
the perpetrators of these fendish acts; but
Jet us be vigilantl The loss falls most severe
~ upon these ladies. That all that industry
and perseverance could accomplish, should
thus be foully taken from them, is certainly
too bad-most discouraging.

HON. WIZ. T.. DAYTON,
Of New Jersey.
Severe Hail Storm.

On Wednesday afternoon last, we were Wis
tied by a very severe hail storm, which lastet
about fifteen minutes, but in that short space
did considerable damage. We had noticed il
the early part of the afternoon, a dense, black
and heavy gathering of clouds in the western
horizon, which, as the afternoon advanced,
seemed to threaten something more than an
ordinary shower. The weather-wise postponed
the time of its arrival until evening, but con-
trary to their expectation, at AIS o'clock, it
suddenly burst upon US in all its fury. The
wind blew a gale. Hail stones fell in num-
bers, and size ~unaccountable. Window papes
yielded to the pressure of hail, and trees to
the fury of the wind. The streets were lined
with leaves, which, but for their fresh green ap-
pearapce, would have reminded us of Au-
tumn. A number of large and handsome
shade-trees lie PROSTATE in our streets
where were beautiful corn-felds, now stand
the naked stalks. Potatoes are likewise much
injured. A handsome shade tree in front OF
the Court House, was broken off like a pipe
stem, so great was the fury of the wind. In
the yard we're q number of birds killed and
wounded by the hail. For the time it lasted
it was as severe a storm as we ever witnessed.
We have not learned the extent of damage
done. The storm was not general. We
learn that at West. Freehold, two miles dis
tant, there was no rain of any consequence.
In Howell the storm seems to have been
very severe, particularly at Lower Turkey and
Squancum. Several fields of corn in this sec
tion were almost entirely destroyed; the oat
crop was also considerably injured. A cor
respondent says: "At Squancum a field of
corn belonging to Mr.. Mathew Little, was com
pletely riddled by the hail-the stocks were
cut as with a hoe. Other fields suffered near
ly as badly Such was the force of the wind
that large pine trees were blown out by the
roots. Out of ffty-nine paaes of glass in Mr.
LIS, house, 50. were broken. Some gentle.
men who stopped here during the shower
picked up several hail stones, each as large as
hens eggs; in proof of which they carried
them in their carriage from this place tc
Squan Village, c distance Of eight miles and
when they arrived there they were still al
large as w%alnuts; they then made use of then
in cooling some lemonade. The storm com
menced at Squancum at Q 10 o'clock, and las
ted but a few minutes. At Squan the storm
vas comparatively light"

WAR NEWS

The steamship City Of Washington brings
Liverpool dates to the 18th inst. Another
great battle was expected in Italy soon, as
2O0,0oO Austrians were reported TO be OH the
Adlge, with the outposts in near proximity to
tho french. Garibaldi had defeated the
Anstrians near one Of the passes of the Tyrol,
contingent to the seat of war, and had called
on Germany to garrison the mountain passes.
There was still very intense excitement in the
Papal States. The Pope, in his address to
the Sacred Consistory, formally excommunica.
ted all persons whom he designates as /" revo.
lutionists and conspirators." The Ponti6eial
General, in his report Of the affair at Perugia,
is evidently well pleased with the action Of his
troops.
KoSsuth issued a | Observation-Disclosures at
Napoleon's headquarters, whittier be was 90.
lng at last accounts, is not stated-calling the
peopleSof Hungary to arms. 1t was general
ly believed that Prussia intended to act solely
on the defensive; but the mission of Prince
Windiscbgratz to Berlin, related to a supposed
violation of the Tyrol by Garabaldi, which, il
was hoped on the part of Austria, would af
ord the requisite provocation.
The speech of Lord Lyndhurst, in the En-
glish House of Lords, on the subject of Eng.
lands defences and the chances of a French
invasion, is of great Importance, while the re-
marks of the other peers are very interesting.
Prussia was still encouraging the German
military movement to the Rhine, but afirms
that she means to propose the bases of a
peace.
The Paris correspondent of The Manchester
Guardian, says:
The real accounts, now deposited at the
War Office, give for the battle Of Solferino
nineteen (odd) thousand killed and wounded
for the French, and a little over G, 600 for the
Sardinians. Whatever may be said to the con-
trary, you may hold these figures for certain.

walking to the place where he was, she fell to

and the servant girl, who had eaten rather
more than the Others, suffered q good deal
more. A physician was called, and after med

that on the 18th of June last, a German
named Peter Miller, residing in Newark, was
STABBED at a picnic in Roseyille, by one Henry
kaufman, who it was supposed, had fed to
Canada. Information was received at New
ark a day or two since that a p person answer
ing Kaufman's description committed suicide
at the st. Nicholas Hotel, on the 14th instant.
| We presume their can be little doubt that the
murderer of Miller is one and the same person
with the Montreal suicide.
