"TakeM ln and Done For"

The Ohio State journal "got" the
Statesman" badly, the other day. I'm
der the head of "True Popular Sover-
eighty" it published the following:
THAT slavery is an evil, that it was
brought upon this nation by no morolnght,
and exists by what is believed to be the
force Of necessity, because ii is interviewer
with every political relation and civil in
stitution in the South, is not to be contro-
verted.
"While public opinion may be divided
perhaps on the subject of agitating the re,
peal Of the Fugitive Slave Law, there is
nevertheless another matter in close con-
nection with it, on which, it is believed, the
sentiment of our people is entirely united
The area Of slavery must never be exten'
ded in this government while the voice,
the united voice and action of Ohio in any
constitutional form, can stay it. Here,
with propriety we may take our stand;
Thus far, proud Wars, thou shall ad.
vance, but no farther shalthou come.'
The Statesman" swallowed the bait
most readily, and was consequently
"Eooked in" 1t talked about the above
as containing "he doctrines Of that ola
tru;tor," Joshua R. Giddings, and all that
The little abolition editorial was of course,
full Of danger, full of unconstilutionalily,
full of disunion!
The beauty of it is, as says the "Jour.
nal, "the article was taken verbatim from
the inaugural address of Gov. Wood, in
1859. Unfortunately the proper credit
was omitted, thereby exposing the charge
of Abolitionism

Lynch Law mt springfield, MO.-A
Negro Hung for Rape.

We regret to be compelled to record
another instance Of violent and illegal ret
ribution in. this State. 1t occurred at
Springfield, on Wednesday, and is thus
narrated by the "Mirror::"
On last Saturday night. negro boy, be-
longing to the estate of Finley Dantorth,
deceased, went to the house OF a respecta-
BILE married lady, who resides about five
miles from this place, and whose husband
was absent at the time, and demanded en-
trance. This was refused. He went to
the window and attempted to enter through
that, but was repulsed. He then got an
axe and broke the door in and entered,
when the lady threw hot water on him.
but it was not hot enough to scald. He
then seized her by the hands with one Of
his, and with the other choked her until
she was senseless. He then accomplished
his hellish purpose, and left her senseless
on the floor. When she recovered she took
her little children and went through the
rain to a neighbours house, some quarter
or half mile, and told what had been done.
Of course the neighborhood was aroused
and indignant, and turned out in search OF
the scoundrel, together with many persons
from town.
The search was continued until We'd
nesday, before finding the guilty one
Suspicion attaching TO this boy, posse
went where he was at work, and by Sc
ries of questions gathered the whole facts
of the case from him. as related by the
lady; both stories corroborating in every
particular. No force OF threats were used
to induce him to tell. He was identified
by the lady as being the boy, beyond all
question, in addition to his own confession.
He was kept under guard until Thursday
morning, when he was brought to town.
The Circuit Court being in session, the
matter was brought before that body, and
the Sheriff ordered to take him into GUS
tody. He did SO, and placed a guard over
him. A special grand jury was empan-
nelled, and A. 7. Haun, Esq, appointed
Circuit Attorney pro. tenn. The grand
Jury investigated the case, and returned a
true bill against him. Before or about the
time the case was going to be taken up, a
crowd Of three or four hundred men as
sembled around the Temperance Hall,
where the boy was being guarded, and f.
nally obtained entrance, put rope round
his neck, and took him out to the edge Of
town and hung him.

Wool STATISTICS cs--During the present
season, which is about closing, Mr.. F. G.
Sessions of this city, has purchased
400, ,OOO pounds of wool. at a cost Of about
$4,000. The amount bought and sold
in the State during the season, it is calcu-
lated, will reach 100000 pounds, and
as It is principally purchased by foreign
dealers and manufacturers. will bring into
the State nearly tour Hundred and fifty
millions of dollars--a right snug sum OF
money, which will to some extent compen-
safe the State for the immense loss sus-
tanned in the grain crops Standby
Statesman.
The Statesman" is tremendous paper
to lie. Two or three Sundays ago--lt
always tells the biggest whoppers in its
Sunday editions--it gravely announced
that three hundred and fifty thousand
cords of wood had burned up on the
Columbus & Xenia r. R., when in reality
there were not more than one thousand
cords burned. Now, il says the amount
of wool bought in Ohio by foreign dealers
and manufacturers, this season. is 49,.
600, 600 pounds, which will bring into the
State $3.50, 100000. We were not aware
before that wool was worth $45 a pound
in Ohio. This snug sum of money would
indeed compensate to some extent the i'm
mense losses sustained in the grain crops,
considering that the largest crop ever
raised in the State would not exceed $780,
900, 900, and in the United States, the
amount set down by the Statesman" as
having been paid for wool in Ohio.

Abolition Music.

A number Of Southern papers have en-,
gagged in crusade against the popular
song, entitled, "My Darling Nelly Gray
There's Abolilionism in it, and conse.
quently it must not be sung by Southern
ladies, n& played upon Southern pianos,
guitars, violius or banjos. A Florida pa
per first sounded the alarm, and it WAS a!
once caught up and circulated by others
who are ever on the lookout for ins;di-
Gus foes TO the peculiar institutions of the
South. The following is an extract from
the warning sent forth by the Florids
Argus"
"ln My Darling Nelly Gray we have
q nicely coated sugar pill of pure Aboli-
tipniSro ItTnns thus; a
Il seft Is Aes 6es, %, she 4 g6iss slss
hei khborssHy, ~ 1.
The white nan bonnd her with his chain,
They have taken her TO Georgia for TO wear her life
And she tolls meath the cotton and the oane.'
"While the meter is not captivating,
the sentiment is dee idedly odious. In
deed, it smacks of what might be consid-
cred llbelous upon the character of Geor-
gians.
1.-THE result of the monstrous tale, the
neighbors' told the sentimental wretch, is
seen in the mex. verse:
"'My canoe is under water, and my banjo is un'
strung,
I'm tired Of living any more,
My eyes shall look downward, and my song shall be
unsung,
While stay on tho old Kentucky shore
L. 4 J.,
from their 'tedium vi'e,' we recommend
their transportation to Georgia, to toll like
Nelly Gray, in the cotton and the cane ,"
Verify our Southern brethren have a
troublesome time in guarding against the
circulation Of Abolitionism in their midst
1t steals into their music, into their school
books, into their novels, into their tracts,
and stares at them even from the pages Of
their Bibles.

Georgia and the Slave Trade.

The following paragraph is going the
rounds of the press:
"There is little or no agitation in Geor-
gia for the repeal of the law prohibiting
the slave trade; not candidate of any
party has alluded to the subject; and while
a few mesgre public meetings have been
held, not one association exists in the
State. So far from its being "a leading
question: we are credibly informed that
some outside efforts were made by the
slave traders TO get favorable expression
from the late Democratic State Conven-
ton, but utterly failed, a corporal's guard
not being found who were willing to en-
dorse the agitation"
The Savannah News" contradicts the
statement, saying:
"It is scarcely necessary to state that
the impression sought to be conveyed by
the Republicans paragraph is entirely er-
roneous. Nothing is truer than that there
does exist in Georgia, in earnest, wide
spreading and rapidly increasing agitation
for the repeal OF the law prohibiting the
slave trade. Candidates and leading men
of both parties have alluded to the SUBJ
jeet,' and declared themselves in favor OF
the unconditional repeal Of both the State
and Federal laws which brand the slave
trade as piracy"
The agitation in favor Of repeal is con-
fined to no political party nor class of our
citizens, but is fast becoming the popular
sentiment Of the Southern people, and the
sooner our Northern fellow citizens are
convinced of the fact, and make up their
minds TO accede to our just demand, the
better for the peace and prosperity of our
political Union.-MissisSPpian.

A special dispatch from Boston to the
New York "Times" says:
There are al this time two vessels fitting
out at Salem, in this State. for the slave
trade on the coast of Africa. The princi-
pals in the affair are Spanish finn in New
York, and the peeuniary equipment of the
vessels has just been forwarded in the
form of $50, 900 ia hard specie. If the
Government wishes to stop this infamous
trade, it must look North as well as South,
and 20 these small New England ports as
well as to New York and New Orleans
There will be no difficulty in Identifying
the craft of Salem, and this is not the first
instance in the last three months.

Senator Douglas Magazine
Article.

The New York Herald's" special
Washington dispatch says: No inconsid-
cradle perturbation has been created since
early this morning, by succession of dis
patches, some of them to Mr.. Douglas,
and others to his friends, on the subject
of the note of the Messrs. Harper to the
press, prohibiting the republication of his
article upon Territorial Sovereignty.
know Of three such dispatches from New
York and one from Philadelphia. They
all urge the importance of an immediate
contradiction Of the implied statemen: in
the Harper caution about copyrighting,
that ths Illinois Senator had received a
|peeuniaFy mpelsation l0rb Bis iSst pVIit-
scl 4 Il |z s b s .sss
One dispatch urges Mr.. Douglas 20
pudiate, without delay, any participation
in such contemplate meanness as such a
transaction would appear to involve. An
other requests his most devoted adherent
in this city to save him from worse fate
than that of Wise.
/ In fact, either Mr.. Douglas has reduced
manifestoism upon controverted political
subjects to a lower level than it ever
reached before, or the Harpers have taken
an unwarrantable liberty with the press
in causing them 10 refrain from copying
an article for which they gave no consid
Grafton. The Herald" of this morning
has just come in, and confirms in every
respect ths impression made by tele-
graphic dispatches received earlier in the
day. 1t has lett the impression upon the
public mind that Senator Douglas was re-
ally paid for the communication in ques-
ton, or :hat the Harpers gave him the
choice between having it categoried among
the rejected articles they are constantly
receiving, or publkhed on consideration of
the name of the author appearing over the
piece, and Of being privileged to use it ex-
clusively. have just learned also that
Mr.. Douglas will not venture to reply to
the dispatches which have been sent to
him, although they annoy him very much.
Advance copies Of " Harper" must have
been received in large numbers by MIR.
Douglas yesterday. The Article itself was
freely canvassed this morning, and the in
cons istency was pointed out by his South
ern adherents, that he assumes it as an
undoubted fact that the Judiciary cannot
exercise any control over the slavery ques-
ton, while in private conversation he has
said, again and again, within two months,
that those who hold the ultra pro-slavery
view in the Territories, will always have
the United States Courts to appeal to, and
that he will be the last man to dissent
from their decision. On this point hinges
the entire edifce of Mr.. Douglas popular
ity Or unpopularity in the Southern States,
and it is, therefore, confidently believed
this article of his in "Harper's Magazine"
must DAMAGE him SERIOUSLY
