To DOUGLAS DEMoCRArs.-Col
Forney thus addresses this class of his
fellow citizens, upon what be deems their
political duties at the present crisis:
We must deny the right of any ad-
mlnlstration to control our conventions
and to aser our creeds. We must re-
pudlate the present administration. bold
" and everywhere, and on its ruins re-
erect the old Democratic flag. and re-
assert the old Democratic principles.-
Before such an organization all other
parties would give way. The general
opposition Of the Democratic party can
prevail only in the event of the failnre

our County this winter. They seem to
be cultivaling the giving hand People

pastor as they used TO be, when it was
thought by many that he could live upon

ton. The iaborer is worthy ofhis hire, +"
we have read in the good book, and both
pastor and people are beginning to real
lie the truth Of this saying. The peo-
pie Of Orleans County seem to be paying
their debts in this particular If in no 9th

The 0bsrlin Slave Case.

The indictment Of thirty-soven citizens

throughout the country. Almost every

The conduct Of those engaged in captur-
ing tle negro, and none except a few in
the pay Of the Administration, censure
those individuals who stepped in between
the negro and his inhuman pursuers, and
saved him from a life Of Slavery.
The feeling thus evinced, and the bold
ness with which this feeling is uttered,
throughout the land, affords the most
gratifying proof Of the fact that public

utterly void Of justice, so clearly at va
rance with the genius Of our Republican
institutions, and 50 oJirorent to the natu-

tograph letter, which, in the advertising
puffs Of the firm, like Ben Adheim's name
in the angels list, "leads all the rest
