ti-slavery platform--they will not COM
nit themselves to the issue of no more
slave States; and now we see not how
they are to relieve themselves from the
accusation, rising on oil sides, that they
have abandoned the cause of free labor
and free States for mere party purposes.
What principle have they now left to
stand upona and what issue will they pre-
sent to'the people hereafter? They dare
not make an issue with the Democratic
party in regard to Cuba and Central
America, for they know that this would
insure defeat. The tariff is not excius-
lively their property or party capital.
They can not appropriate the cry of re-
trenchment, for the Democratic party is
engaged in that work; and, in the vote
against Oregon, they have, so far as that
action goes, cast aside the distinctive
support of free labor aud free institutions.
In the Topeka Constitution they voted
for what they now reject in Oregon, and
nothing is left them but-opposition,
and theu-oppositiom.-Gn. Eng.

Singular and Atrocious VIllainy

The dwelling of Henry Stowell, of
Shutesbury, Mass, was entered on Mon
day night, Jan. 3lst, by some desperate,
villain, who stealthily proceeded to bed
room in which Mr.. Stowel's daughter,
Ellen, "a young lady of l9 years) and an
other young lady were sleeping, in sepa-
rate beds; administered to both sufficient
cloroform to render them utterly helpless
and unconscious. He then, says the
Ampherst Erpress, made several cuts with
some sharp instrument upon the forehead
of Miss Ellen, extending from the roots of
the hair to the eyebrows, and also upon
her chin. From these wounds the blood
flowed freely, but they are not serious
He also made cash of some three inches
in length upon her breast, and probably
committed other outrages. On retiring,
she had taken the rings from her fingers
and placed them upon the table near her
bed; these we're found upon the floor, bro
ken and useless. Her clothing of all
kinds, as we'll as whatever else belonged
to her, including even her papers which
the villain obtained by breaking open her
trunk. were carefully selected in the room
where she slept and also in adjoining
rooms, and carried away.
As other articles, many of them of val-
ue, belonging to other members of the
family, were left undisturbed, it is obvious
that personal revenge upon Miss Stowell
was the obiect,of the wicked depredator.
Miss Stowell recovered her consciousness
about daylight the following morning, and
found her face and bed clothing covered
with blood, and suffering from her wounds.
The family were at once aroused and dill
igcnt search instituted, but no certain clue
to the perpetrator had been discovered
at last,aecoun.s, although the family have
strong suspicious of the guilty one. The
victim Of this inhuman outrage is an in.
telligent young lady, of much amiability
of character, greatly esteemed by all who
knew her, and is not conscious Of having
made any one her enemy. 81. @ ..'1 s...'
