ArrteuIt.raI CoIlere Bin vetoed.

"The OK knoweth his owner, and the ass his

be; but the welts on his hide, the provender (or
absence of provender) in his stomach, are as

President Buchanan has vetoed the bill
granting Public Lands to all the States in aid
of seminaries for instruction in Agriculture,
Mechanics and the Useful Arts. He uses some
fair wOrls in excusing this veto, but they have
nothing to do with his reasons for perpetrating
it. The simple truth is that he is tool of the
Slave Power, its creature, its instrument, and
the Slave Power is radically hostile to educated
| labor, holding that the mind and muscle en-
ployed in productive industry ought ever to be
distinct and separate. An Industrial College
in Slave Stste would be as great a solecism
as blacksmith's shop in q powder house
Hence, John SlidelI, chief engineer of the Cuba
stealing project, declared year ago that this
bill should be vetoed if it passed, and his pup
pet in the White House has obeyed his man
date. Any one might have apprehended this
by simply scanning the sectional aspects of the
vote in Congress, on the passage of the bill,
which are as follows
The bill passed the House, April 22d last, by
I04 Yeas to 100 Nays, divided thus:
Free States-Yeas 81; Nays 81.
Slave States-Yeas l3; Nays IS.
The Senate consurred on the 7th inst, by 25
Yeas to % Nays, dividing sectionally as fol-
lows:
Free States-Yeas 2l; Nays 4.
Slave Ststes-Yeas 4; Nays Is.
This simple exhibition sufices. Any well
informed politician knows that bill supported
by three-fourths of the Members of Congress
from the free States, and opposed by still
larger proportion of those from the slave States,
would be vetoed by a President elected and
pledged as Mr.. Buchanan was. The slave
power, whenever it it fails to command, through
the potency of patronage, majority in Con-
gress, holds the veto as its last resort, 50 that
no legislation favorable to the interests of free
labor, unless it be compelled by the exigencies
of the government itself, is to be hoped for
while the President is virtually chosen by
National Convention of Democratic office hold
ers and place hunters in alliance with the slave
ry propaganda. Lands for the landless" must
stand back, while 'niggers for the niggerless"
takes the lead, and national efforts or appro-
prialions in behalf of the education of labor
will be secuted SO long as Cuba-stealing pro-
jects, based on the assumption that tropical re-
gions can only be cultivated " ignorant, de-
graded slaves, shall be commended from the
White House, and their opponents branded as

PLAIN ANp uRNANENTAL PRINTING.
The solou of the SoIOns,

Legislative wisdom has culminated-gone to
seed. Mahoning has given birth to the law
maker of Ohio-his seat is over the terrible en-
CINE in the new Capitol All editors pray that
hereafter the water rise not above luke warm
that no engineer fire up so as to blow up
Gilsou, of Mahoning, must not be endangered.
So distinguished coDservator of the Press
would be missed in this degenerate age. His
last and mightiest effort must be recorded
Gilson, the Great, has introduced the bill of
bills in the House. Its object is to ferret out all
anonymous and contumaceous lbellers who
resort to the prOfane use of rags and lamPblaek.
Its instruments are in keeping with its objects.
Both are worthy of Gibson. Justices. with
"bearIs of formal cut and fair round belly" are
to be empowered to question with severe dig
nifty editors of newspapers in regard to the au-
thorship of anonymous communications, and,
in case they decline to disclose the secrets of
the sanctum sacntorum, then to consign them to
the severer ordeal Of the county Jail Should
the incarcerated chief of the tripod reIent, re-
pent, and become willing to betray confidential
authorship, the Sheriff of the county is gra-
ciously permitted to bring the humbled editor
before some J. P. DOgberry, Esq, who shall
enter the answer on his dog cared docket, and,
thanks to the kind consideration of the Gibson
who SO correctly measures the depths of editors
pockets, his darling bill provides that "the
person making the affidavit shall pay the costs"
Let every printers devil as well as poor
devil of an editor do honor to the very distin-
guished Democrat of Mahoning. Let the toast
be ellison. He is at once the boa constructor
and benefactOr of the black art. He exposes,
purges, purifes-swears, imprisOns, feeds-all
at the cost of the person making the affidavit
Make Gilson's bill law by all means His
four dollars day will be well spent in affida-
Wits to ferret Out the sharp letter writers at the
Capital who have anonymously scarifed the
tender cuticle of bachelor ellison of Mahoning.

From the Pnrnrunr Expedition.

1t appears by the Washington correspond
ence of the journal of Commerce, that the ad-
vices of the Navy Department, in regard to the
Paraguay Expedition, are by no means discOur-
aging. Judge BOwlin had rejected the offer of
mediation by the government of Brazil, because
he had no instructions on the subject Our
Government may yet advise the acceptance of
this offer
In the case of hostilities, it is said we have
twelve vessels in the expedition that canascend
the rivers. These vessels carry twenty-siI
Dahlgreen guns, throwing nine inch shells at
the distance of three miles, and with the great
est effect. The fort Humaita is to be first at
tackled, and should an army be collected there
the shells will tell with terrible effect. The
river forts are so situated that our guns would
command them. Our officers are said to be i'm
patient for conflict and confident of success.

MuuumissIOn Of Eiahteen slaves.

There are good streaks left in the hearts oi
some Shareholders yet On the ID inst, Mr..
Robert Barrett, of Lincoln county, Ky, an old
gentleman nearly 20 years of age, accompanied
to Cincinnati his eighteen slaves, nine males and
nine females, consisting Of father and mother
and their children and grandchildren, and one
mulatto woman with four boys between the ages
of seven and thirteen, and voluntarily made
them free. The Gazette says:
The party were all taken to the Probate
Court, where the usual deeds of emancipation
were executed. While in Coyington, before
crossing the river, their owner was offered $780,
600 for them, but he quietly remarked, al would
not take fifty thousand" Mr.. B. is a gentle
man of considerable property, and being bach
elor, thinks he has enough to provide for the re-
mainder of his days, and has, with peculiarly
unsel6sh feeling, quite in contrast with pecu
iarly selfish world. refused sum that would
have been quite fortune, and given bis servants
their freedom. Mr. Barrett may be regarded as
a practical philanthropist.

Rail RoAD BRIDGE DAMAsED-The c.
NJ Rail Road Bridge across the Mahoning IL
Braceville, was somewhat damaged on Satur-
day morning. As the coal train was return
ing from Cleveland, between l and 2 o'clock A
al, just as the locomotive was passing over the
bridge, the engineer heard the cracking of tim
bers and felt the bridge giving away. He LEI
on all steam, and the train, which consisted of
empty coal flats, went through safely. He
then stopped the train, and went back to inyes-
tigate the matter. He found that one of the
timbers forming the stringers, being rotten. had
broken, and the heavy strain had separated the
ends at the broken place, some six inches
The bridge was warped side ways considerably,
and also settled down on the broken side six OF
eight inches 1t seems certain that had the
locomotive remained on the bridge one minute,
the whole fabric with the train, would have
sank into the river, which was at full banks.
The bridge is a single span, some l40 feet in
length, and is built on the Tudor plan, patented
once we believe It is now repaired, and trains
are passing over it--WGren Chronicle.

NARROW EscAPE--ANoTHER WARNINe.-On
Friday, the 18th ult, Mrs. Chas. BOsworth, re-
siding two miles south of this place, while kin
ding a fire under kettle, few rods from the
house, discovered the back part of her dress
as on fire Caught probably from coal she
had dropped.) So rapid was the progress of
the flames, that as she sprang up and turned her
head, the blaze singed her eyebrows. She ran
rapidly toward the house, and her dress being
on fire behind, and fresh breeze blowing in her
face, and being protected by woOlen knit hood
and woolen quilted skirt, which although
scorched and burned, proved a barrier to the
near approach of the flames to her person during
her rapid flight. Recolleeting wet piece of
carpet which was lying on the stoop she seized
it, and with the assistance of her domestic, who
had met her at the instant, wrapped it around
and over her and Immediately extinguished the
fire. The only injury which she sustained was
in her hands, which she had thrown behind her
in the attempt to tear off her burning garments.

Mr. Cnlasfack.

The State Journal copies the paragraph from
the Leader suggesting Mr. Colestock, of Co.
lumbiana, for Auditor of State, with the fol-
lowing Introductory remark-"Mr. Colestock,
while here in the discharge of his duty as ex-
aminer of the State Treasury, made very favor.
able impression on all with whom he came in
contact"
The Salem Republican thus cordially endors
es the suggestion of Mr. ColestOck for Auditor;
The Leader evidently has clear and correct
appreciation of Mr.. Colestock, both as private
man and public officer. In speaking OF the
Cfhce in question, when it said, '' 1t Is one OF
great importance and responsibility, and no man
should be named for it who does not possess
unquestionable qualifications, and an irreproach-
able character for integrity" those at home or
abroad who know Mr COlestoek best, know
veil that the Leader did not, in selecting him,
name a man who in any degree falls particle
beneath its own erected standard. OF course
we feel 8 pride in having distant parts of the
State look to our county, and select from the
true and tried Republicans of Columbiana,
man who will add strength to the State ticket
if nominated, and who will never, we feel as
sured, through any act of his, permit the honor
of his party to suffer if elected.
We say this much, not that we have any per
sonal feelings to crafty or interest to promote
in this matter, but only because we have de-
sire, in common with the entire Republican
party, to see good men fill the important offices
of the State For this reason alone we honest
ly urge that the name of Mr.. COlestock should
receive due consideration from the people and
press of the State, for when we say that he is,
ia every respect, capable and responsible, we
know, after an intimate acquaintance of several
years, the truth whereof we affirm.

SAD ACCIDENT "A painful accident occurred
in this village on Monday the 2lst inst. by which
lad some Is years of age, son of Mr. Theo-
dore Baker, was badly injured Itappears that
the school boys were practicing with dumb
bell, by throwing it backwards and over their
heads. As one Of them was in the act of throw
ing it, young Baker for some reason, stepped
behind the other Just in time to receive the
whole force of the missile on his head, near the
temple. He was taken home in a state of un-
consciousness, and it was supposed for time
a surgical operation wouldh have to be performed,
as it was feared his skull was fractured Such
however, proved not to be the case, as we learn,
and though he remained unconscious several
hours, he is now doing well.--Norscalk Retaec-

How they Make Dead. Heads in China.

The correspondent of the New Hampshire
Patriot, in China, writes to that paper as fol-
lowg:
One sight which met my eye from one part
of the city walls at once recalled all the scenes
of butchery and barbarity which have been ex-
hibited by the rebels in the war they have been
waging for years in China, and by Yeh, the late
Governor of Canton, who has by his executions
cut off the heads of 100000 Chinamen-one
hundred thOHSand-within the two or three last
years, in small square in the city, sometimes
five hundred at time, till the ground was so
stepped with blood that he who entered that
horrible butchery ground sank at once into the
blood and mire up to his very ankles. What
startled me was the sight Of eight human heads,
tied up by their tails in small baskets, high up
the WALL Some Chinese pirates had watched
their opportunity, and stolen on board an Eng
lish vessel at night, and rushing upon the cap

and others in cold blood, and this not on the
high seas, but upon the river on which Shan
gh1i is situated, and in full view ofthe city, in
the daytime. A few days after they were all
