How they Treat Negross in AboIi.

A revolving case Of brutality and
Ill treatment in a neigbboripg town,
has Just come to onr knowledge
An informant states that a colored
boy named John Dolan, was bound
out some time since by the mana
gers of a New York Asylum 10
Mr, Eli Bennett, Of Southport, and
that he has been treated BY that p er-
son with great cruelty aud inhum an
;ty. The boy says that during the
cold spell in Janaary be gas made
to go without shoes, and vas allowed
but few clothes and in consequence
of this, both his feet and hands
were badly frozen. The doctor who
now atteGds him thinks he viii
lose all his fingers at the second,
joint, and all of bis toes. The boy
also says he was stripped naked,
hoisted up by bis hands. and 0ngged
with horse whip. The appearance.
of bis back is sufficient evidence Of
this, for We are told tbatitis liter
ally cut up. After being dealt with
in this savage fashion, the boy says
he was locked up in cold garret-
there he remained fos three weeks.
Last Sunday, however, when the
family we're absent at church be man

Bogus Insurance Companies.

i We have never besitated to eX
pose the corruptions of the Bankin,
system. When occasion called 70
lit we have not been slow in giving
| the names Of those who have defraud
ed the honest laborer out of bis
hard earnings. Of late we have
turned our attention to the Insurance
Companies of this city, as they need
watching and many of them are
established on basis as rotten and
corrupt as the banks. Fer this dis.
charge Of duty, of course, those
interested have muttered all sorts
of curses and complaints. But we
can give a case in point which will
establish the necessity of keeping a
close watch over these institutions.
Mr. Joseph Teufel, By honest in
dustry aud energy, had amassed
ten or twelve thousand dollars,
which amount be invested on Adams
street near Front Row. Like all
prudent business men, be eagerly
sought TO insure bis goods. He ap-
piled to Messrs. Milton & Putnam.
agents for the Bridgeport Conn. J
Insurance Company. He paid out
the amount sf money required, and
a policy was readily granted, and an
inventory taken of all the goods
Insured. BY the recent fire Mr. Teu.
Eel lost every thing he had on earth.
1t was certainly a sad misfortune
to see the fruits of twenty years
toll swept away. But, "ntver des-I
pair' was his motto, and he took
his policy to the Insurance Office,
for the pdrpose of collecting tie
three thousand dollars for which he
was Insured. He expected this
amount would be sufficient to sup
port his samily and to start him again
In business, but judge of bis sur
prise when he was informed that
the Company had been broke for si.r
months.
What is the press for, but TO
lash such frauds upon the honest
and unsuspectiug? We shall inquire
into this swindle, and the guilty par-1
ties shall be seourged with the lash |

opposition have become more eom-
pact, as a party, in the Northern
States than ever, by the union of
the Americans with them; and iu the
South, where Democracy was strong
enough, it has gained strength from
the American element. The indica-
tons are, that by 1860 there will be
no third patty, and that there viii be
a close contest between the Demo

be nearly one hundredand fifty thou

FAYETTEVILLE TENN: THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1859,
The Democ.atic Party.

I Because the Democratic party
has suffered a few reverses, OF
short lived issues, and because the
times at present seem to indicate
a schism on issues, invoked for the
nonce 20 mislead the multitude
q few credulous and short-sighted
individuals are betraying an utter ig-
noIance of the political history ol
the country, by predicting its dis
lintegration and ruin. 1t won't do.
These seers might with some plausi-
biHty predict its downfall, if the ex-
perience of the past was net against
them, for it has become inexorable
in history, that every defeat has
impaired new strength and every
reverse purified the Democracy for
the accomplishment Of its glorious
mission. 1t is perfectly absurd for
men to be talking about the anni-
hilrtion of the Democratic Party.
1t cannot be done, and it ought
not to be done. 1t is not patriotic
to be indulging in such reflections.
1t is treason to the South. Blot
out the Democratic Party, and will
these sapient reformers tell US what
party is to take its place? We hear
sometimes of a third party, but We
never hear any principles proclaimed.
They talk about Democratic ''extrav-
agance," corruption and all that
sort of thing, but the extravaganza
has only kept pace with the grow
ing wants of the country, and ''cor-
ruption'' is merely thrown in as
scsrer. 1t is, all humbug. There
will be corruption iu all government,
and under ALI ADMINISTRATIONS, but
as for suppcsing it peculiarly charac-
teristic of Democratic Administra-
tions, is proposition too farsical,
and foolish to des,rve a passing
notice. History proves it false
human nature proves it lalse-com.
mon sense proves it false-Whlg
Administrations prove it false in
fact it is SO false that truth has a t
perfect contempt for it. Why, so
lar from being trne, ifthe Democrat
ic Party had been like other parties, !
whichit has successfully encountered
aud overthrown-b because they we're
not founded upon true, enduring,
and imperishable principles 1t
could not have withstood the
rude sho cks which it has repelf
Ted and ''laughed to scorn" All
such .imputations are but "stnf
that dreams are made of and like
the poisoned cbalioe return to
plague the inventor, with their grim
moekeries. What other party
has past, bat the Democratic
party2 Every thing t at has been,
done to roake US great nation, iii
has achieved. 1t has become neces
sity to our existence as q nation.
1t has made the name ofan Ameli-
can 'alisman in every cline. A

height of folly to. talk about it.
