The Lansing (Mich.) Republican says
at is idle to suppose that the Republican
party will consent to ignore its great and
distinctive principles, which are, and must be
for wears to come, vital issues before the coun-
try, until the old landmarks of Republicanism
are restored, and it shall become again the set

The Two YEARS AMENDMENT.-The town
of Quincy Massachusetts, gave ll9 majority
for the two years amendment, and at another
town meeting, held quarter of an hour after
wards, for the purpose of choosing select
man, Jonathan Jamison, Democrat and a for
eigner, was elected, according to the Boston
Journal. The inference is, that the Loeofocos
of that town offered this empty compliment TO
the foreigners, as a reward for having just voted
to add two years to their time of probation
The majority Of the voters of Quincy are of
course Locofocos, for Republicans in Massa-
chesetts are not in the habit of electing Loco
tocoS to office. Mr.. Jamison was the Locofoco
candidate, and elected as such. This fact is
important, as showing how the Pro-Slavery
Democrats in Massachusetts voted on the
amendment .ti

HE TRIAL OF GEORGE OLIVER FOR KILLING
HIS NEGRO MAN.-It will be remembered that
in our issue of the 18th of March we gave an
account of the killing of negro man, by his
master, Mr.. George Oliver, who lives a few
miles from town. He was arrested at the time
brought before magistrate, and bound over
in the sum of $4,000, for his appearance at the
next (the present) term of the Circuit Court
In the early part of last week, the grand
jury found bill against him for manslaughter
Thursday forenoon, the District Attorney called
up the case. All parties being ready for trial.
the following men were empannelled as Jurors ::
J: h. Craig, d: D. Cook, D. R. White, J. P.
Wilson, T. w. Boone, C. A. Waits. S. F. Ham
blet, - Davenport, W. J. White. j. n.
Alexander, W. G. Reynolds, Charles Powell.
Mr.. Brammell, the overseer of Mr.. Oliver
testi6es, in substance, that on Monday morning,
the l4th of March, Mr.. Oliver went into a corn
crib, where ten or fifteen of his negroes were at
work Smelling corn, with a machine for that pur-
pose; that he ordered a negro man named
John, who held handspike in his hands, to
work faster, or something of that sort that the
negro did not appear to mind him; and that
Oliver took the handspike from the negro, struck
him over the head with it, which knocked him
down, and then struck him two ticks afterwards.
He then ordered the negro to get up, but, alas,
his spirit was in another world The body was
taken out of the crib, laid upon the ground, and
the coroner sent for.
The evidence on both sides was closed on
Thursday evening, and the counsel for the State
and defence occupied the greater part of Fri
day in their speeches. James r. Chalmers and
young Mr.. Barksdale, law student, were the
prosecuting attorneys, and ]. F. Cushman and
II. A. Barr appeared for the defence. Mr..
Barksdale made the opening argument, and the
other attorneys appeared in succession-con-
testing every inch, and fighting hard for every
point.
The case was given to the jury on Friday.
When they retired, ballot was cast, which re-
suited in eight for finding the prisoner guilty,
