Decided DisCord.

The leading Democrats cauiidly admit
that they eau Do nothing in lsJ9, but DO
hope Cor a strong rally in loG0. For the
standard bearer Of that almost "forlorn'
contest, they differ as widely as they do
on vital principles. For examrics-our
friend "O'zinachsou' Of the Carlinoyllc
llilO .Npce'ofor, says:
Douglas had 4 majority Of The popular vote

the assertion, VIXEN the votes are counted.

The yl,y5rm to be adopted, is another
stumbling block in their way. Douglas
thinks that as they fooled the people with
"squattcr sovrciguty' in '56, they can do
it again in go. Others thiuk they can't
be deceived twice in the same way, and a
new came must be devised. The extreme
Southern leaders demand not only Cuba,
but the rc-opsning of the foreign slave
trade. Others, more moderate, will be
content to re-aiiirm the Cincinnati Plat
fern with its Northern and Its Southern
interpretation and the Dred Scott dogma,
But the last scheme revealed is found
in the Washington States (heretofore said
to be Douglas rapor,) and is a>crbed to
Caleb Gushing. The article confessos it

4 Calm in Ohio.

So long as Slavery exists in our land,
i. will necessarily make trouble. The
Western Reserve has for some mouths
been convulsed with agitation caused by
the Illegal arrest, at or near O5er.in, OF
slave The people turned out and res
cucd the fugitive, doing the officers no
harm. Several of those engaged in the
rescue were tried under the fugitive slave
law before a L. 5 District Court, convlc-
ted by Jury composed exclusively ot
buchanan men, and some were fined and
sent to Jail. So severe a punishment for
only releasing n man Illegally in duress,
created unprecedented agitation through
out Ohio. The men who undertook to
spirit away the slave, were arrested, on
the charge Of Kidnapping. Finding they
stood in great danger Of going to jan,
their Southern agents agreed TO procure
the release Of the Gbcrlin party from the
L. S. authorities, on condition the State
should release the allcdged kidnappcrs-
This was donc-both parties, and the

reckon, before human bloodhouuds will
again rol!ute the free soil Of the Western
Reserve :. The released Rescuers had
grand public reception on the 9th of july
on returning to their homes In OberIln.
The audience numbered three thousand
persons, and the choir which furnished
the music contained 125 singers, while
$500 persons joined in the Old Hundred
Doxology, praise God from WHOM" &c.
The crowd dispersed at midnight,

lies. And so long as plenty of good ex-

The SLAVE TRADE IN SouTH CAR

TIE SLAVE TRADE IN SoUTH CAR
oLrNA--The Charleston Is. CO. Mer-
curry, the ablest Of the Southern States
Rights paper says that it objects to
making the re-opening Of the slave
trade an issue in the politics Of the
country, because it would not be safe
to revive the trade in the present rela-
tionship of the South and the North ;
because it is now impraeticable and
idle and because it is a mischievious
issue-an issue regarding which there
may well be difference Of opinion,
and which is no test of soundness to
Southern institutions. It further says,
" as a practical living issue, on which
to turn the politics of the South, we
regard the re-opening of the slave trade
as a very frebrand,, fraught with mis-
chief and danger. And at this point
of view we are, and have been from
the beginning, strongly opposed to its
being used"

ing it penal offence punishable with
ten years imprisonment in the State

that it will, any person in any, of ahe
Southern States, having a slave esca-
ping into this State, a nd going there
to reclaim him, will be subject to indiot-

years for claiming bis property and

DANCER OF LU1oFEa MArcHEs.-

The New York Sun says that the oper-

maligant, and often fatal compliant,
which is known as the snatch disease
1t is produced by inhalation of the
phosphoric acid used in the factory
seriously affecting thejaW and teeth,
The Sun says:
We learn from the physicians that
the disease is butte common among
those who work in match factories, and
that it is dangerous for any one has dis
eased teeth to be employed iBtha man
ufacture of lucffer matches. They also
state that the disease may be contrac-
ted by those who have diseased teeth
by lighting cigars or pipe with luci
fers and iuhaling the phosphoric acid
which is liberated by their ignition.
Il is well for people to understand this
fact, and, as the doctors say, if a person
