CINCINNATI.
This long party ridden city,
too, has just spoken, aud with the
elasticity of newly found freedom, has
bounded into the ranks with majority ol
two thOusandl This is a rebuke to the
Administration, which strikes a death
blow to The hopes of The slave-power in
Ohio for years to come. The chain once
broken, the people will never again be tied
as they have heretofore been by their party
attachments to the slave OIigarchy, which
has usurped the name of Democracy
But the time would fail us to tell of Chi
cago Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo, Dayton
and all the other cities, which have recor-
ded their verdicts in unmistakabe terms
in their recent elections. Everywhere the
sky looks bright, and the final triumph OF
fee principles is rendered certain. Let
all true friends of their country take cour-
age, and while working 70" the right, and
trusting the innate virtue aud growing in
telligence of the people, cheer each other
with the assurance that truth is mighty
and must, in the end, prevail.
CHIvALaY.
Reverend JOHN G. FEE is
Presbyterian Clergyman in Kentucky.
Ills her Was Il Shareholder, aud among
others held IL woman named Juliet and
several OF her children. This woman had
been the nurse of John q. in his childhood
and belonged to the same Church with
hin IN lalter lie. She was, in many re-
sprcts, remarkable woman, Trusted,
Euthiui. honest and devoted christian
Twelve years ago, Rev. Mr.. Fee, out of
his meager salary as a minister, saved mo-
ney enough, and bought Juliet and set her
free She remained in Kentucky several
years, during which time she had four
children, which, being born after her
emancipaL on, were free Of course. Some
five years ago, she, with her four free
children, removed TO Ohio, leaving ten
childlen and grand children still slaves in
Kentucky. But her mothers heart year
ming TO see, and perhaps to save those she
SO dearly loved, led her to ray a visit to
them in her old "Kentucky home" Ac-
cording!y, something like year ago, she
made them a visit, and was seized by the
"chivalry" and confined in Jail on the
charge of attempting to enice a slave tone
of her own chldren) to escape from bond
age. Bail was fixed at $500, which she
readily gave and was discharged. But
before she could escape from tha, land of
"hospiality," she was again arrested on
another charge of attempting to persuade
another of her children to escape, and
held in bonds of $500, for her appearance
This also. she was able to do, when she
WAS Immediately re-arrested on seperate
charges of attempting to entice away each
OF her ten children and grand children
Here the old, 5roken-hearted christian
mother failed to find men enough as secu-
ri'y to satisfy the rapacily of these noble
ken;urkians. and she was incarcerated in
prison with felons, where she has remained
until few days since when she was
brought to trial on the above grave charges
And on these charges. in this middle of
the nineteenth century, in the Democratic
State Of Kentucky, twelve jurors in the
form Of men, convicted this mother of the
cr me # attempting to incite siaVes Cher
own children TO run away! And grave
Judge has sentenced that pious christian
mother to three gears Imprisonment in the
Penitenliary!
If such a transaction had taken place
in Algiers, or any barbarious country in
tie world, the civilized nations of the earth
would shrek out their adherence of the
Internal atroci,y in one universal burst of
condemnation. But such scened
have become so common, and are so ne
cessary to the maintenance of our sham
Democracy that they pass as ordinary oc
currences! Will it be SO always?
MORE CHIvALRY.
Another case very similar
to the last has just transpired in
the Capitol of the Nation.
A man with some mixture Of uncoasti
'utionoI blood in his veins, but who was
free himself, married woman whom
son of the "chivalry" claimed as his chat
tel. The man however was permitted to
live with his wife by paying to this mod
ri Democrat her yearly wa~es. But the
