Black Republican Capital Manufac.

Black Republican Capit0l M0nuIacs
turcd.
The difficulties in Kansas which con-
stituted the capital of the Black Repub.
lican campaign of 1856 having been
played out, and become fiat, stale and
very Improbable, and as Sumner had
got entirely well before the opening Of
the present campaign, there was in truth
no ready capital of an available character
on hand, and as to carry the campaign
through without it was entirely out Of
the question, the sachems and plottcrs OF
the party put their heads together to
cOncoct some new and rare outrage
which should serve them at least for a
few months. Consequently some weeks
before the meeting of the Chicago Con-
vention it was arranged that trouble
should be brewed in the good old
peaceablc State Of Virginia; that bo-
gus delegation should represent that
State in the Black Republican Chicago
Convention, and that during the cam
paign these bogus delegates, aided by
Northern firc-eaters and such other po-
htical vagabonds as could be bought or
coaxed into the service should stir up ex-
citement in Virginia,an endeavor to get
up a scene or two in which there should
be sufficient bloodshel and horror to last
the sensation writers and manufacturers
Of Black Republican roorbacks until the
day of election. Hence we see that CD.
erations were commenced at OccoQuan
Fairfax county-a quiet and peaceable
village on the eastern border Of the
State. The followers of John Brown
got togcther,and after inccndiary speech
es, Lincoln pole was raised. Previous
to taking this step, provisions had been
made for arms and ammunition, which
were to be despatched from Washington
to occoqnan by wagon. The prompt ac-
ton of Gov. Letcher caused them to
abandon this part of the performance
The pole, however, which was the sub
ject of SO great Indignation, was cut
down and removed in pieces from the
spot.
There was not the least necessity in
world for this action on the part Of the
Republicans-it was instituted purely
and solely to create disturbances and
manufacture political capital and sympa-
thy. The Republican party processes to
believe in the spirit Of on-intcrvention
with slavery where it exists in organized
States, and yet the most unprincipled
means are made use of through their
.ools 10 menace the rights and arouse the
'na'ghat'on OF the peaccable Inhabitants
Of the slave States.
How long will the intelligent people
OF the North continue to coun,en.roo
such injustice! Why is it that thew con.
sent to see this spirit of aggression coun.
tenanced! These continued efforts on
the part of the North against the South
and her institutions only serve to drive
deeper the wedge that is separating our
beloved Union. 1t will never be the
means Of emancipating single slave
never be the source of any good, but Of
constant and unremitting warfare.

From the Homer N. Y. Republican.
Singular Freak of Ligh thing.

On Saturday morning last during a
thunder storm, stroke OF lightning
passed down the conductor attached
to the residence OF John =. Briggs, in
Prebe, N. v, and through the ground
into the cellar, where Miss Lois Hurl-
burt and Mr. Charles Fox were engaged
in skimming and straining milk. The
fluid struck Miss Hurlburt on her side
tearing her apron into shreds, passed
through her dress aud under her clothe.
melting one of her hoops-to her hip,
thence down her leg, tearing her stock
ing on one side in places from one hall
to ono inch..apart until it reached the
heel, when it entirely destroyed that por-
ton Of her hose, and rent her shoe into
numberless pcices. Strange to say the
lady escaped with comparatively little
injury. She was, Of course, rendered
senseless, but only for short time. The
only perceptible effect, she says, is black
line)down the limb, and slight lame
ness.
Young Fox, standing about ten feet
from Miss NJ. was, be thinks, bit by a
ball Of fire on the hip on the opposite
side from where Miss Hurlburt was
standing; he was knocked down, put re.
covered in very short time. We think
this the most miraculous escape on re-
cord.

1t va. but a short lbe since that that
able politician, Leyb d. Campbell, who
heretofore distinguished himself as !
Republican leader, come ont in q
letter, declaring himself unwilling
to remain longer in the Republican
ranks, and since that time we hear OF
numerous instances OF the kind, where
men have come TO their senses and have
marched over to join the Democratic
army. Ex-Governor Thomas Ford,
heretofore hard working oppositionist,
and man Of no mean political sagaci-
t., has cone to the conclusion that it j.
no use tor him to tie to the Republicans
for life, and consequently indicates his
intention to come out where he can
stand on firm ground and fight under a
national banner. As another instance
Of the mutability Of things in Ohio, we
see that the Hon. Oscar +. Moore has
turned his back upon the negro worship
pers, and taken a bold stand for Dem
ocratic principles. This gentleman, an
Ohio paper published in his district
states, is one of the most popular men as
well as one of the sblest speakers in
eastern Ohio, and represented his district
in the 34th Congress. The Dayton
Empire states further, that thousands
and thousands who lave heretofore sup
ported the Republican ticket have de-
clared their intention to come out and
support the Democratic nominees.
Good for Ohio; we shall look tor
Democratic majority there this Fall.

"a HIT bird hutters," and so does the
editor of the Iowa City Republican. He
devotes a large share of his last issue to
abusing lis, because we have served up a
little wholesome truth in regard to the
political trckery practced by the Black
Republican leaders at Iowa City. The
Republican man is chagrined at the turn
which affairs have taken, and being too
cowardly to aim a blow at the head Of
its enemy at home, turns its attention to
us, in order to find a vent for his
spleen.

tice the fact that the Reporter has
changed its political front, but does not
as much as even welcome its newborn
brother into the fold, neither does the
cowardly editor dare raise his voice
while Penn Clarke and nj. l.. Morris

thick lips, and hand the same over to the

havo died.

BEAUTIFUL sTANzAs.

There is no heart but hath its inner anguish,
There is no eye but hath with tears been wet
There is no voice bat hath been heard to languisi
Der hours OF darkness it can no'er forget
There is no check, however bright its roses,
But persisted buds beneath is hues are hid
No eye that in its dewy light reposes,
But broken ar.bcams tremble meath its lid
There is no lip, howe'er with laughter ringing,
However light und gay its words may be-,
But it hath trcmbled at some dark upspringing
OF stern offlction and doep misery.
We oil are brothers in this land OF dreaming,
Yet hand meets hand, and eye to eye replies,
Nor deem we that beneath brow all teuming,
The flower Of life ia broken beauty lies
Oh blessed light that gids our night of sorrow
OH balm OF Gilead for healing found!
We know that peace will come with us tomorr ow
And that Affections spring not from the ground
