N YET ANOTHER.

A. gentleman writing from Urbana to a Cincin-
natl paper gives an accoun. Of another servant OF
Gen. Washington, who is living in this State in
Champagne Co.
1t has been computed that there is in existence
at the present time, wood enough Of the true cross
to build a battleshio of the largest size. 1t would
be interesting 10 lovers of the curious to have taken
a census Of the servf nts of Gen. Washington-the
dead, as we'll as the living. The newspapers bring
us an account every little while of some one-gen-
orally a "bcdy servant"-who has not before been
counted. We forget how many slaves it is said the
King Of Ashantee has in his body guard, but we
think not less than a thousand. These slaves of
Gen. Washington-or servants, we should perhaps
say, that phrase being better suited to delicate and
fastidious ears these servants of Gen. Washing
ton, we were about to remark, will soon outnumber
those of the King of Ashantee, unless a speedy
stop is put to their unnatural increase. They seem
to be sctuated by the principle which increased the
contents of the widows cruise of oil and meal
chest and not only are they becoming numerous,
but long lived, the present one-who bears the
aristocratic name of Richard ntanhope-being in
his hundred and twelfth year. We have no ques-
ton but that some brother editor who chronicles
the close of the Twentieth Century, will mention
in that connection the remarkable fact, that a for
mer body servant of Gen. Washington is yet living
in that vicinity. Who will say that longevity is
not increasing, at least among the servants and
body servants of Gen. Washington? We have
read of the tomb wherein reposed "The Last of
the Carulets," but our imagination cannot delude
us into the belief, that we shall live long enough to
hear OF the demise of the last of W%ashington's
servants. s IT. "a

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

Recent advices from Europe present affairs

ton.
A Conference between Austria, France and Sar-
DINA, TO settle the details of the treaty, which is
now regarded by all parties, according to report,
as, in it's present form. 'impracticabls," was to
take place, but where or when was not known.
The treaty was received Wits great dissatisfaction
throughout Italy. In Sardinia the popular dis
content showed itself in q negative rather than q
positive manner, but in Tuscany, Modena, and
Parma, the people and the Provisional Govern
ments in their name. declared it a betrayal of their
rights to which they would never submit, and in
the Papal States there were many symptoms of
trouble. The Austrian army was to remain where
it was posted at the time Of the Emperors' inter-
view at Villafranca but tue imperial Guard and
detachments from other corps of the French ar
my, were to march to Paris to receive an ovation.
A Paris correspondent states that the greatest ac-
tivity is manifest oil along the French coast, which
is being fortified in the most formidable manner.
A new ministry had been formed at Turin, with
General Della Msrmora as Minister of War and
President Of the Council. The Euglish Budget,
which had been submitted to Parliament, shows

DIR. DOY AND HIS RESCUERs.

Sheriff Morgan, of St. Joseph, has offered re-
ward Of 81 900 for the capture of DR.. boy. His
rescuers, ten in number, from Kansas, have pub
lished q statcment of the transaction, which does
not differ materially from the newspaper account.
When they were on their way to the river with
boy, two of the city watchmen came up behind
them, but did not venture an attack.
DR.. boy was in bad health when taken from the
St. Joseph Jail, and would have been removed the
next day to the State prison at Jefferson City. He
was taken to his home by his friends, and we trust
all efforts to retake him by the Missouri kidnap.

A MATTER OF NO IMPORTANCE.

Some of our Democratic exchanges seem a good
deal exercised just now, in attempting to show
by strong Affirmation rather than proof--that
Judge Gholscn did not liberate his slaves prior to
coming to Ohio, but that he sold them, and pocket
ed the money. We confess to our utter inability
to see the importance Of this matter politically con-
sidered. Suppose he did sell bis slaves, what
thenf Or suppose that he neither sold them nor
freed them, but continues to hold them, what
then A man may he o stakeholder, and yet be q
good Republican,-as is the case with f. P. Blair,
and others in the South. 1t is no violation of the
acknowledged principles Of the Philadelphia Plat
form to hold slav Isl at least we never heard Of
any one who was denied the right of membership
in the party on that ground. lie may be in favor
of slavery where it is, or against it-tbat is a mat
ter of udiherence-bu he must be opposed to ex-
tending slavery where it is not. If Judge dhol-
son comes up to this standard. he is q Republican;
and we would advise Democrats to discuss some
issue which is german to platform principles, in
stead Of investigating the Judges past or present
history in regard to slaveholding, that being q
matter with which neither the Democratic nor Re-
publican party have any right to interfere they

YOUNG PEOPLE OF OHIO.

FELLOW LABoRERs We issue this coll 10 invite
you to attend a convention to be held at Alliance,
Stark county, Ohio, on Saturday, August 18th,
1859, commencing at ten O'Clock A. NJ.
We call this Convention in order that we may
concentrate our voices and our power to act
against the system Of slavery, and to SO move the
people to oppose the fendish prejudice against
color, that one part of the citizens of Ohio
shall no longer be deprived of the right Of the
elective franchise.
We hope every town, village and hamlet will
send forth its people to take part with the weak
against the strong-to battle against slavery.
John N. Langston Of Oterlin, and Charles H.
Langstou Of Columbus, are expected to DO there.
Other speakers will also probably attend.

ANNIVERSARY NOTICE.

The Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the WESTERN
ANrI-SLAvERY Society will be held in Alliance,
Stark Co., o., commencing on Saturday, the ID OF
September, at lOi o'clock, A. NJ. and will piobab-
ly continue three days.
Every year of our warfare presents, in the re-
newed aggressions of the slave power, new motives
for persistent, faithful anti-slavery action. The
North is beginning to realize how unchangeably
true it is, tina, they who enslave others. or who aid
in their enslavement, will have the cup returned to
them which they have given the bondman to drink.
Especially is this now true Of Ohio, whose citizens
have been imprisoned for performing deeds OF hui
mspity, whose State Sovereignty has been tramp
led into the dust, and whose Supreme Court has
been shown to be an ally Of that power which is
striving to crush out the life blood of Freedom
every whore.
Earnestly then, and cordially we invite the true
friends of the slave to assemble with US at our an
niyersary for counsel and labor. Let us come to-
sether in the name of Liberty, and by our words
and deeds so strive to exalt man above institutions,
humanity above creeds, that the slaves cause Will
receive q new i'm petus at our hands.
Beside our home speakers, PARKER PiLLsDURY is
expected to be present. and perhaps other friends
from the East. BENZ. S. JONES,
Recording Secretary.

NORTHERN CRIME AND SOUTHERN
CRIME,

SRlME.
A ~favor;te exercise with certain of our enthusi-
astic southern contemporaries is to judge the en-
tire North by the deeds of some abhorred criminal.
They held up the appalling details, and e~xultant-
ly call upon their readers to behold the state of
society among those who assume to read the South
lessons of morality. M
If We desired to retort this rather questionable
style of argument, we might point to the bloody
deed of Saturday as O specimen # southern NOR
ais. A cotton broker of Mobile, who claims rela-
tionship with the late General Taylor. lives with
the keeper of q house Of prostitution, and uses
her SO badly that she comes to New York to get
rid of him. He follows, and because she refuses
to return with him, shoots her down in our great
public thoroughfare, in the presence Of multitudes
of our citizens, and when he lie arrested is found
wearing a huge bowie knife as the emblem of his
~chiva!ry. The shooting of Loring, by Colonel
Graham Of New Orleans, at the ST. Nicholas Ho-
tel, which the criminal was sent to expia,e at
Sing Sing, was an act in some respects Of o like
character, for which New York, instead Of New
Orleans. was %unjustly held responsible.
We might also refer to the details, publish ed in
another column, of the burning at the stake of a
negro slave in Missouri. 1t was not pretended
that there were no laws for the punishment Of the
crime, but the indignation Of the people could on
ly be stated BY the sight Of the culprit yelling with

publishers. John P. Jewitt & Co. Boston.
The volume contains 2 sc. pages. and is a full
history of the case from the rescue of the "boy
John" down to the jubilee which Oberlin held in
honor of the release of her imprisoned citizens.
Such a record is necessarily a volume of valuable
history; and the Importance of the entire case,
and especially Of the legal points. discussed by bar
and bench in its progress, make it a desirable
work for study and preservation. We only regret
that the finale was not 4 triumph Of Higher Law.
The thought Of the four kidnappers who we're re-
leased as the price for the rescuers' f~reedom-the
conviction that it was a drawn game upon the par,
of both prosecutor and prosecuted, does not, we
confess. inspire us with very e~xultent feelings.

The Convention Of this party, recently held in
Cincinnati, concluded to mako no State nomina-
tons. The gazette Gays:
This action was taken on grounds of expedien-

of this movement that the effect OF making nomin-

Is the Conservative party of 1860 to owallow up
Republicauism. as Republication did tho Free
Soil party in 1861 If the Know Nothings expect
to have a voice in the Convention which dominates
the opposition candidate for the Presidency, it is
certainly wise for them to abstain from any sepa-
rate, state action as a party at this time. The fac,
that the party declined to nominate a State ticket
does not, of course, pledge its members to support
the Republican nomination each will act as his
individual preferences dictate.

the slow torture amid the flames which roasted
his naked limbs. This is by no means an isolated
case. We have read Of quite a number Ct similar
instances Of brutal anticipation Of the seventies
of law by mobs in the same quarter.
We are far from Unfortunately dcnouncing
the South (among the citizens of which there are
so many creditable representatives of humanity
with being a race of savages on this account. We
shall not emulate their journals 10 branding an en-
tire community with the full censure which lie
merited by the excuses OF q few. Nevertheless 1t
is perfectly fair to say that such high-handed
.villanies appear more in harmony with Southern
institutions than with those Of the North. The
right of private vengeance, Of an individuals tax
ing the law into his own hands, the right OF a
man to crafty HE jealousy with the blood Of an
other, will receive no countenance from applaud
ing crowds here. The offender, unless there are
extenuatihg circumstances, is at once visited with
the penalties Of the law. This constitutes one
difference between northern civilization and the
civilization existing south Of Mason and Dixon 8
Line.
Again, most of these lawless doings at the North
are perpetrated not by natives, but by the less ed
ucated class of foreigners, who have not been with
US long enough to experience the full benefit and
regulating influence Of a training under our in
.stitutions. and who do not. therefore, show the le-

nous growth, "born and raised" on the soil. and
even Id their excess developing the tendencies in
cultated in the prevalent code of honor. The
soutberner is taught to regard il as gentlcmanly
NOT to be forbearing and consideta:e-but to
be sudden and quick in quarrel, to bs morbidly
suspicious and ready to take offence and presume
an insult without due inquiry. He is taught to
regard his private honor, as it Is called, as supe-
rior TO law and the interest and welfare of q whole
community. This characterization seems in many
cases the flower and normal result of southern
training. We know that tho more Revolving con-
sequence, such as street assassination and burning
msleiaotors OF the stake, are not contemplated in
that training but tendencies are implanted by it
which only need the ripening influence of tempta-
tons to expand into crime like those which we re-
cord to-day.-N. Y. Post.

R6S"A private letter from Boston reports q lit
tie rumpus in the recent meeting of the Alumni
Of Harvard College. which. by some curious ac-
Oidens, has not been reported in any of the Boston
1t appears that a body of young fell
lows among the Alumni were present at the
meeting, and first caused the proposal to nominate
officers by ommittee to be voted down. Then, on
the ballot for President, strange to say, Mr..
Charles Francis Adams had &c votes to 43 for Mr..
R. c. Winthrop. Next came the choice of q Vice
President, and, what was most surprising of all,
Mr.. Wendell Phillips was found to have IL votes.
According to our informant, when Prof. FELTON,
came to announce the result, he gave the number
of votes cast for Mr.. p. but refused to mention
his name, though there were loud calls for it-but
this we can hardly believe. Prof. Bowen made a
speech denouncing the conduct of the opponents
Of Mr.. Winthrop as extraordinary and ~unantici
pated, and Prof.. FELTON, called it audacious. j
seems that Massachusetts, is so pervaded by anti
slave feeling, and by dislike of Mr.. Winthrop
that the opposition to him breaks out even in The
meeting Of the Alumni Of Harvard College.
