eSy' If there is anything for which we
thank Mr.. Seward. it is for his Rochester
speech which the pro-slavery Democracy
have so much denounced. There was moth
ing new in it. In fact it it was simply an
avowal of principles formerly protested by
both the old parties. Mr.. Seward has eff
fectually checked spirit in some places
which had got into the Republican party,
to bid for slave-holding support. The fact
is the conservative policy of slavery ever
has and ever will depend upon the democ-
racy. Past experience proves it. The
wing party in 1852 with Gen. Scott as a
leader, professed the same friendship for
the Fugitive Slave law and the Compro-
mise as the Democracy, but slavery would
not and did not trust them. Webster with
all his eloquence and ability could not get
a vote for president from the South. They
divided the wings on Webster, Fillmore
and Scott, and then slipped in Frank Pierce
for president. The Republicans should
maintain the standard erected in 1856. Nc
matter about the victory. If we can't be
victorious in the right then let us still be
in the right without victory. In conclusion
we fully endorse the following from the
National Era:
Let the Republicans make up their mine
to fight the battle through, to fight it out or
the ground they have taken-assume al
the responsibilities that belong to the only
party arrayed against the Slave Democra
cy-hold their Convention at the proper
time, reafirm their Philadelphia platform
with such addition Gf any as may be call
ed for-nominate strong, clearly Repre-
sentative ticket-then, trust God and the
People for the rest.

The CaledoRian repeats the following
anecdote which the editor heard in the
Court room a few days since:
Mr.. Davis had just closed lengthy ar
gument in his own peculiar style, which we
shall not attempt to describe. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Colby of Montpelier, who, in
his blandest, most fascinating manner, be-
gan by telling the jury that his friend Da-
Wis had betrayed the weakness of his cause
by his very looks and manner of addressing
them. He said that he had noticed that
when Mr.. Davis had very tough state
ment to make TO the jury he always shut
up his eyes l-he could not overcome the
innate honesty Of his heart and in that
respect, it made him think of the story of a
good deacon who was accustomed to dance
in his younger days; and when rallied about
it by a friend, was constrained to acknowl-
edge that it was too true. "But how did
you dance, deacon!" said bis friend. "Oh -

1t is well that druggists who employ care
less clerks should occasionally receive an
effectual admonition. That was undoubt-
eddy the opinion of the jury at Cincinnati,
Ohio, who last week gave Rev. George w.
Quimby verdict of 50, 500 damages against
Frederick Eckstein, for putting up for him
beIadonna instead of dandelion, by which
his health was injured and his life put in
jeopardy.
Gen. Lane Of Oregon represented the
population of that territory to be about
10000, but the census of Oregon, just Ia
ken, shows its population to be 1852, less
than half the number required for repre-
sentative to Congress. Politicians can nc
longer play off Oregon against Kanzas, the
latter being considerably ahead.
Three free colored persons were tried
and convicted last week, in the circuit court
for Friedrich county, Nd, of the crime Of
enticing slaves to run away frnm their mast
ers. They were sentenced in accordance
with law recently pessed by the legisla
turc, TO be sold out of the state as slaves fol
life, the proceeds of sale to be appied-frst
to cost of prosecution; secondly, to indem
Nifty the masters of the runaways of theii
loss and the balance, if any, TO be given
to the families of the convicted parties.-A
slave woman of John Francis of London
county, Va, convicted of infanticide, has
been sentenced TO transportation.

The publishers have another edition of sew

GO AS yet the number of those who
have discontinued their paper are fewer
than last year. We trust it viii prove so
Through the month, and while we gratefully
acknowledge the receipt of number of
new subscribers, we must mention that the
most of those who have stopped in any one
place, is in the good town of Townshend,
where four of our subecribers have discon-
tinued the TINES because it is not ultra
enough on the Slavery question:! Had
some of our friends who are decidedly con-
sentative made complaint that it was too
strongly Anti-Slavery for them, we should
not have been so much surprised but the CON-
plant of our friends in Townshend has ia
ken us down entirely. 1t is quite possible
shat there may be radical difference be-
sween us and those to whom we allude
We are not informed as to what they would
have the TINES advocate beyond what il
has done the past year, but we are quite

unanimously by every distinctively anti.
slavery man within the district of our cir.
culation. The votes for governor last fall
showed this, and the message of the Gov
ernor was certainly all that could have
been reasonably expected, and the new law
on the subject of slavery passed at the last
session of our legislature, in the House by
large majority and by unanimous vote
of the Republicans in the Senate, would
seem to answer all expectations from the
most ardent man Of Anti-slavery sympa-
thies. But it seems we are mistaken and
we have therefore cheerfully taken the
names of our friends mentioned above from
our books, hoping they may revise their de-
cision and possibly arrive at different
conclusion. The TINES will continue t.
oppose slavery and slave extension indie
pendent of any party, and hopes yet to SCI
a man in the presidential chair who vii
check the rapid strides of the slave-holdin:
, oligarchy which now rules the nation.

In the case Isaac Pollard, Claimant,
against the estate of Luther Coolidge de-
ceaeed, the jury returned verdict tor the
claimant, with damages assessed at Sl21,'3.
A case of some interest was expected to
come off the last of last week, between
Jonas Lampson Of West Windsor, and Asa
A. Burnham of Reading. IT appears that
some two years since both men kept young
cattle near each other. Mr.. Burnham mis-
sed two year old from his pasture, but
found it, as he claims, in Mr.. Lampson' S
pasture, and took possession OF the same
Some time after, this steer with other cattle
was sold and went to some place in Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Lampson, at later period,
visited his pasture and missing one of his
steers, claimed the one taken by Burnham,
and Immediately commenced suit to recover.
Mr. Lampson claims TO have found the
bones of an animal in Burnham's pasture,
and thinks this was the steer he (Burnham)
lost. He saved the bones and afterwards
sent men to make a post mortem eXamina-
ton to ascertain the age of the animal
found, but at this time he says no bones
were to be found After the suit was COM
menced Burnham went to Massachusetts
and procured and brought back the steer in
question, at an expense of sixty dollars.
Mr.. Lampson has vainly endeayored to get
glimpse at this steer since its return, but
Burnham has been too cunning for him,
keeping it under close surveillance, and we
understand he intended to exhibit 1t to the
Jury. The number of witnesses are nu-
merous and the testimony on both sides
very positive. The parties have got both
grit and money. The steer, when the suit
was commenced, was perhaps worth about
twenty or twenty-five dollars, and it is cal
culated that the present trial will swell the
costs to near one thousand dollars.
These are the circumstances as we learn
them, and if the regular report shall make
them materially different we shall make
correction.
