THE Two SIDEs.-Sometme since between
thirty aad forty Of the best citizens of Oberlin,
Ohio, were arrested under the fugitive slave law
for assisting fugitive slave to escape from his
captors. One Of the number was tried few
days since by jury packed by the Marshal, and
composed wholly of Buchanan men, and con-
victed The Judge then informed the other re-
spondents, who were out on ball. that they
were to be tried by the same jury. In viola
ton of all the recognised principles of law the
Judge persisted in this determination Accord
ingly the remonstrants released their bail and
surrendered themselves into the keeping of the
officers.
1t is but a few months since Lieut.. Matfit of
the United States Navy captured a SLAYER and
took her crew to Charleston. The jury empan-
elled to investigate the charges of piracy against
these men, who had kidnapped freemen and
were bringing them in chains into slavery, re-
fused to find bills against them although the
proof of their guilt was irrefragible.
Moral: Piracy is not a crime if pcrpctrated
by the minons of slavery; but when men who
are not democrats help colored man to his
freedom fines and imprisonment await them,
under Buchanan administration.
Improvement: Buchanan democracy will soon
fottef under such monstrous violations of law
and sseb perversions of justice.

ether good things, the fact that there are four
millions of acres Of LAM, in Southern Missouri.
commencing few miles westward from St,
Louis, terraced by Nature and provided with the
Ibest Of sd' for grape vineyards, capable of pro-
dueing billion gallons of wine in year, valued
at fifty millions OF dollars, and of supporting two
miiEcns ofpcope. Could this be brought about
the report says, the pure, hourishing juices of
the grape would take the place OF the vile, mad
derning compounds now called wine and bran
dy, drunkenness would give place to sobriety,
and the people, invigorated by the grape and its
pure heOarage, become as robust and hardy as
they are now daring and ndomitable This re-
gion is now rapidly filling up with Germans
from some of the principal Sine,groying dis
tricts IN Europe.
