THE sT Ell E CIR A P II.
PoMrRor, o., 'rCRsDAr Dec. q.
Eg- We issue this pumber on Saturday.


Eg- We issue this number on Saturday,
several days in advance of its date, in or
der that we may have time to put up our
new press and get out The new Telegraph.
Before the next number is issued the edi-
for will he at Columbus. Our readers
must exercise some indulgence during his
absence. The publisher will do the best
he can to make the Telegraph a readable
and interesting sheet, and the editor will
furnish letters daily, giving distinct his
tory Of the doings of the Legislature and
such other matter as his other duties will
permit. This, we hope, will be reason
able substitute for his ordinary labors, and
on his return he expects to devote more
time and attention to the editorial depart
inert than heretofore.
The year just opening will be one Of
unusual interest in the political field. A
Presidential campaign, which promises to
be one of the most exciting through which
we have past, is about to commence. Il
is the duty of the citizens to investigate
the principles of the parties and The quail
ificatious Of candidates as well. And il
is especially the duty of the press to dis
cuss those matters truthfully, impartially
and in the spirit Of car did investigation
This shall be our honest purpose. We
are not SO welded to any party as to wish
It's success, only so far as it represents the
principles we cherish. So far, and no far
ther, we owe allegiance to the Republican
party: and while it continues to be the
representative of those principles we shall
give itwhatever support is in our power
The Telegraph will, therefore, support the
Republican party and Republican cancl-
date, Provided, dough- face;sm does not
fnd its way into the platform, or Olt
Fogy;sm on lis ticket.
But the Telegraph will not be wholly
occupied with politics. twill be made
so far as we are capable. a welcome visitor
to every home circle in the County. And
with the voluntary aid of our friends, we
hope to see it placed in every reading FAM
lily in the County. Send in subscriptions.

The Abolitionists of NJ adison County, KY,
to he Removed.

Madison county has long been cursed
with a number of AbolIionists, which her
citizens have determined to remove. A
committee to whom this was referred
made'this report on Wednesday:
Resoiyed, That, IN the opinion Of this
meeting, the association of J. G. Fee and
Others is combination of an incendiary
character, and not only at war with the
best interests of this community, but de-
structive of all organized society; and this
committee recommend 10 the meeting to
assemble on the IL inst, the appointment
of - to remove the said Fee and Rog-
ers, and so many of their associates as the
peace and safety of society shall require.
Another meeting is called for the l7lh
to take final action.-Louisviue Courier.
Madison is the county in which Cas-
sus NJ. Clay resides. The movement is
evidently against him. although Rev. J.
G. Fee, named. They have tried that
game before but failed. Cassius has told
them distinctly, that the first step in their
progress In that county must be consecra-
ted by murder! That until he and his
friends are killed, free speech cannot be
suppressed in yhat county
We look for one of two events TO follow
these meetings: either the murder Of Cas-
sius NJ. Clay and his friends, or the izzle
of this Democratic movement SO far AS
Madison equity is concerned.

MORE REPUBLICANS WARNED TO LEAVE
KENruoKY.-Mr. Charles Payne, who two
years ago was Republican candidate for
Congress from the Tenth Congressional
District of Kentucky, came into our Office
yesterday and showed us letter which he
had received at Demossville, Pendleton
County, giving him but twenty minutes in
which to leave the place, on pain of being
dealt with as the citizens might think he
deserved. He stated that he intended IN
return to his wife and family day, and
we have no doubt he will do so. This
farce has been so often repeated that it has
ceased to he effective.-C Press.

ES-"Godey's Lady Book" edited by
Sarah J. Hale and L. A. Cooley, and pub
lished by Louis A. Cooley, Philadelphia,
is also received. This is, we believe, the
Oldest Magazine in the country, the Janu-
ary number being the commencement of
the SirtietA volume of the work. The
fact that literary work should live and
flourish for thirty years under the man
agement of the same publishers, is, of
itself, sufficient proof of the estimate in
which it is held by the public. The long
experience and consummate tact and lit.
erary taste Of Cooley has enabled him to
add new attractions from year to year,

most attaiuauie perfection in Magazine lit

EFFECT OF THE WAR ON TRADE.-A New
York cotemporary says that the depressing effect
of the War in Italy, the commerce of the world,
has dispelled the dreams of those who supposed it
would produce great activity here, and make rapid
fortunes for our merchants and ship owners. The
European mails bring letters from the correspondents
of mercantile houses in this country, all of which
state the same stagnation in trade Not only in
Austria and Germany does this feeling of distrust
exist, but in those countries which still hope to
remain neutral. Merchants refuse to enter upon
enterprises which require time for development,
and capitalists decline to loan their money except
to the most sreadfast houses, and then only for
short periods. The result is abundance of money,
and scarcity of safe employment for it In this
way the present fears that the war will become
general in Europe are almost as bad as the war
itself would be.
Private letters from commercial and financial
firms in London do not speak very encouragngly
either of the state of general trade the prospect
of restoration of peace. There is an increasing
apprehension that the bad fortune of Austria will
have the effect to bring Germany to her aid, and
that therefore, the battle of Solferino instead of
fastening peace, is likely to protract and extend
the war
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1859-07-26

NATURAL1zED CITlzENs.-The official declara-
ton of the Administration with regard to the
rights of naturalized citizens has been made pub
lic The State Department has addressed dis
patch to the American Minister at Berlin in re-
lation to the case of naturalized citizen OF the
United States, native of Hanover, who upon his
return, was compelled to perform military service
in the Hanoverian army. The instructions to the
American minister are definite. Our government
refuses to recognize the right of any foreign power
to punish any naturalizd citizen for misdemeanors
which were not complete at the moment of his ex-
patriation; so complete that'he might have been
tried and punished therefor at the time of his de-
parture. With this single exception, naturalized
citizen returning to his native country, returns as
an American citizen, and as such is placed under
the protection of our laws. With respect to the
requirement of future military service, our govern
ment denies the right to impose such service upon
the expatriated subject after he shall have become
naturalized as a citizen of the United States. 1t
is added that any Infringement of these regula-
tons will involve the offending nation in serious
difficulties with the United States.
