Adyisatsry.

We have the same advice to give to
our Republican friends, after the cleo.
ton that we gave before it took place.
At the present writing, having received
no returns Of the election in Benton and
from but few of the townships in our
own County, it cannot be said Of US that
We are Influenced by the result Of the
Sc natorial contest, in advising Republi.
cans to bury the Ratchet and forget the
differences which have existed during
the campaign through which vo have
just passed.
This We believe to be necessary for
the health and prosperity Of our party
in the great contest which is fast ap.
preaching. In that contest We shall Ia
Dor not for men, but for the triumphant
success of the great and growing princi.
Piles Of Republicanisn. And in order
to have those principles attended with
that success, it will be necessary for Us
to prepare ourselves, to act AZ unit,and
50 forget the past, as to render it incf.
fectual in prejudicing our future har-
mony and success.
In saying this. however We wish it
distinctly understood, that We have no
regrets to present for the part we have
taken, but on the contrary rejoice tina,
We have had the privilege of writing,
speaking, laborins and voting in behalf
Of those Republican candidates, who
would most honor our party and its
principles +; and carefully protect the in
tercst Of their entire District. While
doing this We, would accord to many
others, the credit Of having acted, fro m
as honest convictions Of duty aswe claim
for ourselves.
Having then had honest difference.
Of opinion existing between Us, as Re
pu5!icans and the verdict OF the people
upon those differences, let US like wise
men consider them fully settled, and
unite our forces in one harm onious body
preparatory to marching IN solid pha'
larx upon the great battle grounds Of
1850.

One man was murdered by having his
throat cut in drinking saloon, and an
other crushed to death between two stree.
cars at tho St. Louis Fair, on the first
day Of the exhibition. On the second
day, a grand run away, turn over, and

who were showing off their horses aud

horses and su'kies we're flying around the
ring in the presence Of ten or twelve
thousand persons, when one driver ran
into the gig Of another one, which fright
encd his horse. The horse bounded Of
at full speed, striking several other

Spirltualisni Rampant.

An intelligent Virginia gentleman, who
has lately visited the North, speaks with
emphasis of the wonderful spread of Spirit,
ualism among the masses. Whilst the
South is going on in her usual sleepy way,
always behind the times in spiritual as vel
as temporal matters, never having beer
able yet TO invent new religion, or tC
make the slightest improvement upon the
old, New England, with characteristic en-.
terprise, is sweeping the field of the Super.
natural and making the Spirit-world as ia
miliar to the people Of that section as any
part of their own country. The map Of the
next world is as well understood by the
dullest youngster in the boasted free schools
as the map of his own State, and all the
solemn awe and mystery that used to hang
about the abodes of the departed, are no v
dispeled by the broad glare of midday light
that the revelations of Spiritualism have
cast upon the darkest hooks and corners of
the unseen world. In the meantime the
Devil, who can never keep his finger out
of the pie, seems to have taken the field in
person, aided by several field-marshals and
Acknowledgements, and is converting Spir-
itualism into prolific mother of Carnalism
of the grossest kind. Melancholy instan-
ces of the severance of old family ties, and
the formation of new and criminal engage
ments, are bearing frequent attestation to
the gross and sensual character of reli-
gion, compared with which Mormonism is
decency, and Mahometanism virtue.
We perceive that Judge Edmonds, an
able and a pure man, personally, is occu-
plying column of the N. Y Tribune, now
and then, in demonstrating the truth of
Spiritualism. His last number is on what
he calls physical Manifestatio which
he divides into Smelling" Tasting" and
Feeling" He says be has smelt spirits
and tasted them, not an uncommon expert
ence; that the smell operated as cathartic or
emetic, and that the taste resembled that Of
gas or vapor, which is all probable and ra-
tional. He also says that he has felt the
spirits laying their hands upon his head,
and, independent of that statement, his ar
tce bears internal evidence that he has
been touched in the upper story in some
extraordinary manner. 1t is fine COM
mentary upon the boasted intelligence Of
this age and country that such nonsense
should make hosts of disciples, including
men of the position and influence of Judge
Edmonds.

Judge Wilson.

The New York Tribune and other incen-
diary sheets of the country are emptying
their Walls of wrath upon the head of Judge
Wilson, of the United States District Court
for Northern Ohio, because he is infexibly
performing his duty in the case of the Ober-
lin slave rescuers. The Tribune declares
that ''he appears to have had an early and
eager appetite for negro hunting" which,
if it means that he has always maintained
the rights of the South under the Constitu-
tion is all true, and is we'll deserved COM
pliment, instead of reproach. A Cleve-
land correspondent himself one Of that
noble band of Northern men who have
never swerved in their loyalty to the Con-
stitution, writes us "You have doubtless
read with some interest the reports of the
Fugitive Trials in the U. S. Court, before
Judge Wilson, and it will CRAFTY you to
know that the laws of the Union have been
enforced with firm and steady hand, with
fairness, justice and dignity. The hordes
of fanatics howl like Satan when elected
from Paradise they lie, abuse and threaten,
bu. it's no use; law-abiding. conservative,
patriotic citizens have more weight if they
are not more numerous, and their threats
ofviolence fall harmless to the ground"
