who WIN be the Mani

This question has been asked thousands
of times within the past few days, and for
the next week will be thousand times
more, in connection with the assembling Of
the Charleston Democratic National Con-
vention, which will convene on Monday
next 23d inst. We do not propose to an
swer it, or even to hazard guess. There
are plenty of aspirants TO the honor, and
each one has his array of friends zealously
at work with all the arts and appliances
which politicians know how to use. Money
will be lavishly expended, pledges will be
required, and as readily given by each one
Of the patriotic men who think they only
can save the Union and the country from
going to ruin. The Democratic papers in
the North generally say that Douglas only
can rally their scattered and disconnected
forces, while those in the South declare that
Douglas cannot be relied upon, and that
they will not support him. There is no
telling however what week of log-rolling
and schomeiDg will bring about. Whoever
the man may be, we shall expect to see
the Democracy both North and South bar-
monize in the matter, aud agree to be ami
able friends. The platform will have a
Northern and Southern Interpretation,
and will be of so inexplicable nature as to
deceive the rank and file of the voters North,
that thousands will be duped to support the
man that may be nominated.
The city of Charleston is at this time full
of Presidential aspirants, and President
makers. The plot thickens, and will soon
be developed, and ten days will doubtless
relieve the anxious ones, and answer the
question.
Whoever it is, the great Republican army
of freedom have nothing to fear. Their
cause is just and invincible, and the nomi-
nee of the Chicago Convention, We think
will be the next President of the United
States.

Tho Akron Beacon of the 2 inst says:
"In discourse on Sunday evening last,
marked by even more than usual force and
eloquence, the Rev. Mr.. Stubbs, Of tho M.
e. Church, thrilled his audience by an un-
expected apostrophe. He was speaking of
National Sins, as sure TO be visited by judg-
ments against the SHINING nation. Illus
trating his theme from history, he paused
for moment, and said;-
"'Slayery, that sum of all villanies-that
worst of all sins Many harsh things have
been said of me at different times, because
from the pulpit, have, as every Christian
minister ought to do, spoken against Slav-
cry. For what is said about me on that
subject, care nothing. So long as God
gives me a voice to speak, I shall speak
against Slavery. Palsied be nay tongue,
,Ohen I.tail or neglect on every. fitting Occa-
sion, TO do So
awe give the passage substantially, and
as nearly verbatim as enabled to from MEM
ory alone. Single passages severed from
their context, and thus perverted from the
express meanings of the preacher have been
quoted with the manifest purpose of annoy
ing Mr.. Stubs and injuring his reputation.
We incline to think such efforts, whether
prompted by partizan or sectarian maligni-
ty, or both, will be fruitless.'
The Marion Republican of the 18th says
the night train on the B. d l. road had a mar
row escape from sudden and irretrivable de-
struction on Monday night last. As the train
was moving along, the engineer suddenly
felt the track sinking beneath his engine,
and was in the very act of jumping off, but,
luckily, the whole train passed over safely,
and in about five minutes afterwards about
eighty feet of an embankment forty feet
high was swept away. Had the train been
few moments later, every person on it
would probably have been hurried into eter-
nifty, and the road involved in the loss of
tens of thousands of dollars in property de-
stroyed and damages incurred.
Mr.. John Sellers and Mr.. M. Gardner,
prominent citizens of Morrow county, died

The Sheriff of Morrow county, Mr.. E.
Barton, had his skull fractured so badly by
the running away of his horse few days
since that his life is despaired of.
Mr.. Barton has since died.
The Tiffin Tribune of the 18th says j.
F. Wooster has sold out his drug store, in
No. l, Shawhan's Block, to Dubois & Co.,
of Fremont, who will hereafter conduct the
business. Mr.. Wooster has removed to
Wellington, Lorain Co.
The Mansfield Herald of the 18th says
a little girl, five years old, named Patten,
was killed at Mansfield at five o'clock the
previous evening. She was playing with
some other children, about fence, and play
fully put her head through the space be-
tween two rails. The top rail, which was
loose, was thrown down by one of the other
children, and struck the child upon the back
of the neck, breaking it, and causing al
most instant death.

Damage TO the public works.

The State Journal of the 18th, states
that as far as heard from the damageto the
Public Works by .he late freshet is not so
great as was at first feared. The damage
on the Miami and Erie Canal is but slight.
We hear that the prospect is that the new
locks at Defiance will be completed in few
days, when navigation will be open from
Toledo to Cincinnati. The members of the
Board of Public Works are examining the
various lines of Canals and will be able to
estimate the extent of the damages in few
days.

An Item for the sIessenger.

"The Sidney Journal says that the Dem
ocrats of Van Buren township, in that coun-
ty, elected a negro Justice of the Peace for
that township, over George Speaker Repub-
lican. Since the Locofoco Constitutional
Convention failed to put provision in the
New Constitution preventing persons with
a certain amount of negro blood in their
veins from voting, the Locofocos, true to
their ancient policy of appealing to the pref
udices of classes, have been courting the
support of the "yisible admixture" class,
and in this instance actually have elected
one of them over a white man. We trust
the Democracy will make the most of this
important victory"
The editor of the Messenger is requested
to make note of this, and tell his brethren
of the gallant victory they have achieved in
the election of "a colored man as Justice Of
the Peace.

The Latest Outrage of the Thersites of
the Senate.

The last outrage of that vulgar clown,
who disports himself in bad grammar and
worse taste in the Senate of the United
States, Mr.. Wigfall, is thus recorded:
Mr.. Wigfall spoke in opposition to the
Homestead Bill, stating that it was not a
Democratic measure, but part of the Re-
publican platform.
Mr.. Pugh inquired in what part of the
Republican platform he found it.
Mr.. Wigfal said it was annouced as
such by the embodiment of that party, now
sitting with Lord Lyons. Mr.. Seward and
the British Minister were conversing at
this moment on one of the sofas in the Sen
ate chamber. Lord Lyons looked up some-
what surprised at being thus unceremoni-
ously called by name, and Mr.. Wigfall
spoke Of the significance of the fact that
the British Minister and the Senator from
New York were thus conferring together,
when Lord Lyons rose abruptly and left the
chamber.

Fearful Accident.

A frightful accident occurred on the Chi
cago, Alton an1 ST. Louis Road on the
18th inst. The Express train going north,
had just reached the bridge three miles
from Springfield, and was travelling at the
rate of about 25 miles an hour, when the
structure gave way, precipiiating the train
some twenty or thirty feet into the stream
bed below. The bridge was constructed
upon trestle-work, and was about two hun
dred feet long. 1t was for about half the
length entirely broken down. The acci-
dent appears to have happened when the
locomotive was about half way across. 1t
lays disabled directly under where the
bridge was, and seems to have dropped
through. The tender is also under it,
standing up. partially on end. The bag
gage car lies jsmmed against the locomo-
tive. The second class car is careened
over, off to the right. The forward first
class car had Just reached the bridge and
pitched down the creek bank. The hind,
most car was not injured. Frightful and
fearful as the accident was, and miraculous
as it may appear, only two persons were
killed.

The Debt made by Buchanan's Admins

from the Report of Hon. Howell Cobb,
Secretary of the Treasury, and remarks:
"By his own showing, he will have in
creased the Public debt, in the space of
three years, from July 1857 to July 1860,
by the sum of forty-nine and three quar-
ter millions of principal, with all the accru-
ing interest and expenses added, which will
carry it up to about FIFTY-TWO MILL
IONS of dollars"
