The .'UlliOM" and Ike "COnstitu
LIOAI.''

We don't mean by the above heading
the Union Of the States, and the Constitu-
ton of the country, but the Democratic
Organs at Washington. We wonder if
these names were not devised for the pur-
pose of relieving tender co~nsciences?-
There are many thousand patriotic gentle
men who are in the pay Of the Admins
tration-its patronage is immense. And
many thousands more are clamoring for
thei: term at the Treasury. This mass of
treasury-caters includes IL heterogeneous
medley of all sorts of s%poilsmen, but the
larger class are nullitiers and disunioniots,
Common decency, however, required that
those sucking at the Treasury, should
be, at least in pretense, Union men.-
So the organ was established and called
the "Union." These disinterested gem
tlen.en could,then spout their notification
when it suited them, and then turn round
and Indignantly affirm that they were im-
favor Of the Union" meaning thereby
the Union" newspaper, the Democratic
organ. This saved their very tender con
sciences.
But a difficulty arose, which was well
nigh fatal 10 many of these gentry. Many
Of them, as is well known, had no special
love for the Constitution of the country,
aud yet, before they could get their hands
into the purse, they had to swear to sup
port the Constitution. Here was a hard
road to travel. But Democracy develops
genius, and the grand idea was conceived
of chTnging the name Of the organ from
tie "UnioE" to the Constitution. The
name was accordingly changed, and all a
tender-conscienced patriot has to do now,
when he swears to support the ComStitu-
ton is, to do it with the mental reservation
that it is the aforesaid ''organ" which he
intends to support.
This is very nice, and it is said that the
ploprietors so construe the oath of Office,
and hold every Democratic ofice-holder
us guilty of erjury who refuses to ''sup-
port the Constitution" by material aid.
The Douglas men kick against this inter
protection, but they must submit or lose
their Offices. We guess they will submit.

Tgnc ObcrIin Prisoners DIS i.
charged.

Our readers remember that Rev. Mr.
Fitch, Hon. Ralph Plum, Prof. Peck, and
some thirty other citizens Of Lorain
County, have been in prison in Cleveland
since April last, Oh a chargeof "rescuing''
IL student of OberIin College. from the
hands Of a set Of k%idnappers, who had
seized him under false %pretenses, and were
hurrying him into slavery.
They remember, too. that by the most
foul means, and by the admitted y-corrupt
packing of a jury of partizans, the Court
procured the conviction Of two of the
prisoners, and then adjourned until July,
leaving the others in prison to await the
pleasure Of the Judge and Marshal.
Wlrile this scene was transacting. the
Grand Jury of Lorain County found in
dictments against the Kentucky slave
catchers and their tools-the Ohio Mar
shai and his deputy, for kidnapping, and
would doubtless have indicted them for
perjury in the trial of the citizens in the
United States Court. On this charge
they were arrested, and knowing that
there was no escape from The Penitentiary,
and as the u. S. officials have the special
care of the protection of kidnappers, they
proposed TO discharge all the Oberlin
prisoners If the Stale authorities would
release the Kentucky k%idnappers, and
save the Marshal from the Penilentiary.
This proposition was finally acceded to,
and the prisoners discharged. So ends
the most outrageous oppression under the
mo :kery of lie al orr 8 .hat has occurr' d
in any civilized country during this cen
fury.

We believe it is treason to aid and com
fort traitors. 1t is known that a large
mum Der of the citizens of Lorain County
including Clergymen, Professors in Tie
College, and former Representatives, have
long been confined in Jail, in Cleveland,
charged with the 'crime'' of utterly re-
fusing to assist in Selling and sending into
slavery a young man who it is said would
bring one thousand dollars on any Demo-
cratic auction-block in the South. For this
crime they were imprisoned by authority
of the United States, and were waiting the
pleasure and leisure of the august Court
to 60 through the forms of a trial.
In the classic language of the Demo
cratic press, these men were ORATORS. -
But the ''arch traitor Mr.. Fitch, had,
for many years. been the Superintendent
of the Sabbath Schools of Oberlin. And,
on the 4th inst, Jour hundred teachers
and pupils Of those schools, chartered the
the necessary cars, and went all the way
to Cleveland to visit and console their
Superintendent in prison! Now if that
was not ''treason," then giving aid and
comfort to traitorS is not treason.
They went into Cleveland in the morn
ing on the Toledo train, the little army be-
ing accompanied with banners and bands
of music, and We're marched through Su-
perior street to the Pnblic Square, and
from thence TO the PRISON. The scene is
said to have been very affecting, stirring
up the very depths of the hardest of
hearts. They We're greeted in eloquent
speeches by E. P. Ingersoll, Esq, Prof.
Ellis and others. Speeches were also
made by Mr.. Fitch, Prof. Peck, Mr..
Plumb, and others among the prisoners.
The children returned to their homes in
the evening.
Let these Sabbath School teachers and
children be Immediately arrested, and
that such doings cannot be %tolera-
led under a Democratic Governments.

II I'll another column will be found an article
from the London News giving an account of the
forcible election of American Missionaries from tho
town Of zahle, in Syria. This kind of treatment,
when committed by the people of Asia, shows that
they are fast rising into a high state of civilization,
and arc rapidly bccomiminG democratic 'in their
ideas and actions. a few years of progress, and they
will be prepared for annexation. True, they have
not yet arrived to that degree of enlightenment which
distinguishes our own Democratic States, in the
South; but they arc moving in the sam direction,
and will doubtless be encouraged by their brethren in
this country. We have no doubt if these Missionaries
would Only lay aside their fauaticisin, and cordially
support and maintain the "pecuIiar institutions'' of
the countries 10 which thcS go, there would be no
trouble at all. Irhey would only learn that there is
