The Alleged Outrage at Friar's Point.
Mtssissippi.- Canard.

Considerable excitement has been created
at st. Paul, by the announcement that sew
eral mechanics had been lynched in the
vicinity of Friar's Point, Miss. from the fact
that there are a number of persons from this
city, employed in that neighborhood. The
story had its origin in the Memphis Argus,
but was taken up, ampli6ed, and new hor-
rors added by the abolition papers of the
North. 1t now turns out that the entire
statement is miserable hoax. The Mem.
phis Bulletin, of the 18th; says:
We copied yesterday from the argus letter
from Friar's Point, said to have been written
by Samuel j. Halle, of the firm of Berlin Il
Halle, of this city, which gave accounts of in
cendiarism hanging of abOlitiOnists, rolling
them into the river, and other like sensation
stories. 1t was the town-talk for the time, and
has served its purpose-that of producing a
sensation. But we feel called upon to spoil the
whole story. 1t is false in every particular.
Passengers who came to this city from Friar's
Point yesterday, read the news in the Memphis
papers for the first time. They never heard of
any of the proceedings therein named before
they reached here. Worse than that, the part.
ner of the gentleman purporting to be the au-
thor of the letter, knew nothing of the letter
until it was published. He demanded yester.
day to see the manuscript, and found it to be
neither his partners name nor handwriting
The argus owes it to the public, who have
been grossly deceived in this matter, to explain
these Munchausen stories.

The Japanese Embassy.

Letters have been received from on board
the steam-frigate Niagara, on her way to
Japan with the japanese Embassy, dated at
Batavia, in the Island of Java, the capital
of all the Dutch East Indian possessions, and
the principal trading port in the Oriental
Islands. The voyage of the Niagara from
Loando to Batavia occupied forty-six days,
strong winds and heavy seas having been
encountered after rounding the Cape of Good
Hope. The habits and occupations of the
japanese continued much the same as had
been reported previously. Whatever may
be their habits of cleanliness in their own
country, we are led to believe that on board
the Niagara they are not such as to tempt
emulation. The Ambassadors had made q
formal visit to the Dutch authorities, who
received them with much ceremony, and en-.
tertained them in princely manner and
in the evening, after the reception, the Gov
ernor General gave grand soiree at the
palace. The Niagara was to leave on Tues
day, October 9, for Hong Kong, touching
at Singapore. All on board are reported
well.

Cooperation and Separate State Action.

There are two parties in some of the ex-
IRENE Southern States, Georgia and Ala
bama, for instance, on the secession cues
ton; one favors immediate secession, and
separate State action, more "perfect un.
ion" to be formed after the present &C.
cursed league " is dissolved ;,while the other
contemplates conference of all the South
ern States, and united action on their part.
In the House of the Georgia Legislature,
we notice that debate took place on this
question. A Mr.. Hill, of Troup, in blaze
of eloquence, characterized separate action
as fright accomplishing its own defeat;
liberty forging its own chains happiness
poisoning its own cup; prosperity commit
ting suicide" A resolution was adopted-
yeas Sc, nays 54-that as there is com.
mon interest, there should hea cooperation
among the Southern States. This is re>
garded as triumph of the moderate dis
unionists.

The Test Case Between Kentucky
and Ohio.

The following is given as an explanation
of the case commenced in the Supreme
Court of the United States, by the Cover
nor of Kentucky. A test case is to be
made of the refusal of Governor DENN1soN,
of Ohio, to deliver up the man Lago,
charged with enticing slaves from Ken
lucky:
Some time ago man named LagO was in
dicted in the WOodf0rd Circuit Court for entic-
ing slave to escape from his owner. Lago
escaped and took refuge in Ohio. Governor
Magoffin made requisition upon Governor
Dennison, of Ohio, for the return of the fngi.
tive from justice. Governor Dennjson refused
to issue his warrant for the arrest and surren.
der of Lago, upon the ground that, by the laws
of Ohio, negroes are not property, and that he
did not recognize the act committed by Lago as
an ofense.
Gov. MAGoFFIN has appointed Col. T. B.
MoNRoE, as Attorney for the State, to
make the motion in the Supreme Court for
a mandamus. The decision in this case
will show whether there is any power in
the federal government to compel Cover
nor of a state to obey the plainest require
ments of the constitution. The case prom.
ises to be one of great interest and impor-
lance.

Thurlow Weed on the "Impe ndin e
CriSis.1

The fact that THURLow WEED, the sly
old fox of the Albany Journal, has been
closeted with MIR. LINCOLN, gives an import.
ance to what THURLow may say, to which
it would not otherwise be entitled. In the
Journal of the 18th, a leading editorial is
published from the pen of Mr.. WEED, ta-
king conservative ground, and while firmly
maintaining the constitutionality of the
principles of the Republican party, advising
such Compromise as will settle existing
difficulties and avert the evils at present
threatening the Union. The compromises
of the Journal are set forth as follows:
not revolving fugitive slave law should be
passed, and that its passage should be followed
by repeal of the personal liberty laws. We
are almost prepared to say, that territories may
be safely left to take care of themselves, and
that when they contain population, which I'm.
der the census entities them to representative
in Congress, they may come into the Union
with State government of their own framing,
provided, of curse, that they conform to the
Constitution of the United States. This in view
of the surroundings of the territory belonging
to the Republic, in view of the fact that for
four years. at least, freedom will have fair
play, and in view, also, of two other elements,
emigration and the census. This, we say, al
most constrains US to believe that we may now
cOnfide the future of the territories to the in
telligence and patriotism of those who are to
inhabit them, or if this suggestion is inadmis-
Sible, there is another which contemplates a
division OF the remaining territories of the Uni
ted States as in 1920 when the Missouri Com.
promise line was established.
To this we shall be told that the compact
was violated, and that the South cannot be
trusted. Perhaps it would be so again, but
not in our generation, nor in the next, nor in
deed until the lessons of the last six years
have been forgotten.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-12-28

We believe if the principle advocated by
Judge DOUGLAS, of Congressional Non.
Intervention, had been approved by the
American people, we would have had no
Commercial, Financial or Political Panic,
and that long years of uninterrupted domes>
tic peace and good will would have been the
natural result. Although receiving the
endorsement of million and half of
American citizens, yet that reasonable and
just plan of settlement has been rejected.
1t is useless to waste regrets at this de-
cision, from which there can be no appeal.
Every patriot should now consider what
just plan of paciication and settlement can
be adopted, TO meet the present emergency.
DOUGLAS gives advice worthy the man and
the occasion. In announcing in the Com
mittee of Thirteen, his views, he says.-"In
I" view of the dangers which threaten the
Republic with disunion, revolution, ard
" civil war, he was prepared to act on the
matters IN controversy, without regard to
his previous action, and as if be had never
made a speech or given vote on the
"subject." This is good advice to every
citizen, because it looks directly to curing
the disease affecting the body polite, and
not to preserving the consistency, or main
tanning the position of this or that states
man OF party. If the question is met in
this manner, there may be hope for the
Union. But to meet it so, requires, if
necessary, the sacrifice of party for the sake
of the country.

The BURCH DIVORCE CAsE.--Last Mon.
day, writ of habeas corpus was served on
Isaac h. Burch, commanding him to ap-
pear and show cause why the children,
Mary w. Burch and Harriet Corning
Burch, aged respectively eleven years and
two and a half years, are restrained of their
liberty, bya separation from their mother,
at Chicago. 1t is supposed that this con-
tested right to the custody of the children
was the main object of the late trial at Ma
pierville. The hearing of this latter case
is to take place at Joliet, before Judge
Norton.

GEN. CAss AND THE PREsIDENT.-The
correspondence between Gen. CAss and
the President has been published. The
Generals letter is brief; he states he ap>
proved the message save in two particulars,
which he plainly states, and conceiving
there could be no unity in the cabinet he
tenders his resignation. The President in
acknowledging the receipt of the letters re-
grets the difference of opinion. Both gen.
tlemen exchanged friendly assurances.

Scientific Lectures,

We have received, for publication, a copy
OF the correspondence lately passed between
the Mercantile Library Association Lectur.
ing Committee, and DR.. D. B. REID invit-
ing that gentleman to deliver course of
scientific lectures before our citizens. This
correspondence will appear in our next is
sue.
Dr. REID accepts the invitation of the
Committee, and will commence the course,
at Armory Hall, on Friday evening, the
18th instant; to be continued on each Fri
day evening thereafter. The course will be
devoted to an elucidation of the Chemistry
of Daily Life-a subject which, treated
upon by so distinguished scholar, cannot
fail to be of the greatest interest and benefit
to all classes OF our community.

GEN. WooL-1he Troy Wing says that
it was publicly stated in that city day or
two ago that Major General Wool had
written Secretary CAss patriotic and able
letter, in which he took advantage of his
many years of friendship to offer some ad.
vice in reference to the present crisis. Gen.
eral Wool is an open, undisguised opponent
of secession, and it is understood that be
advised General CAss that the first duty
of government was the arming of Fort
Moultrie.

SECRETARY THoMPsoNs MISSION TO N ORTIZ
misunderstanding THOMPSON left Wash
ington, on the 18th for North Carolina to
fulfil, as best he may, the mission to which
he has been appointed by the Governor of
MISSISSIPPI. MIR. THoMPsoN's business is to
invoke consonant action tending towards
ultimate pacification, or at least immediate
delay-the basis ofhis negotiation being the
necessity of general Southern conference.
This to a great extent explains why the
President did not deem Mr.. THOMPSON s duty
as commissioner from an ostensibly rebel.
lious State, incompatible with his position
as high Cabinet official. MIR. THOMPSON
is native of North Carolina.

The Secessonists of Georgia are trying to
put down Alexander H. Stephens, by calling
him an "abolitionist." That is their trump
card. We shall see whether they have played
it in vain this time.- Chicago Tribune.
The Southerners should use the elegant
language of the Republicans, and call STE
PHENs a " doughface." Up North, when a
man runs counter to the sectional prejudices
and passions of majority of the people, he
is styled q" dougface;" and as STEPHENS is
doing exactly the same thing at the South,
he logically deserves the same epithet.

THE SUPREME CoURT--Mr. Buchanan
declines making a nomination for Judge OF
the Supreme Court at this time, because
majority of the Senators present are op-
posed to him, and they might reject or post
pone the nomination. the effect of which
would be to force him to send in a different
name, or leave the place vacant. 1t is
now much doubted if the present Admins
tration will have an opportunity to fill this
vacancy.

Financial Matters,

The stock market in New York on Sat-

active. In some instances there was an
advance of 2a3 per cent. Rates for money
and Southern Exchange, unchanged. There
are no new features in any city, New York
excepted, North or South, that are of any
Importance or interest financially. Money
watters in Chicago and Milwaukee have
remained about the same for the last three
days.

possibility OF Tue election OF the next Pres

Is very remote, yet it cxcites some specula-
tons "a TO the result. Tie compatibility of

every calculation. Aud probably no men
have counted more confidently on this than
tbs leading supporters of Mr. Douglas-and
with some show of reason too, for with
fair held they would doubtless beat the
world IN Offering brides. But the field is
hardly an even battle ground. Ofthe thr-
~ three votes which the entire House will
cast, Mr.. Douglas has only one-that Of his
own State. Mr.. Bell is in the same predica-
ment- Mr.. Lincoln has fifteen, and three
States-kentucky, Maryland and North
Carolina, are evenly divided. So Mr. Doug
lass friends would have rather strong odds
against them. With Delaware, they think
they might drive trade Breckenridge, on
the other hand, has only to buy up one man
in each of these pivotal States, and three
Americans in Tennessee, and his fortune is
made. The logic of this should be plain to
Douglas men. If they really wish to pre-
serve their organization as a party--to
camp to follow the banner of cession-if
they wish to make their power felt-let
them vote for Lincoln, and remove even the
remote possibility of the election of Brock
inridge by the House, or Lane by the SEN

THE Tribune announces that Carl Schurz
nf Wisconsin, and F. Hassaurek of Ohio,
are now canvassing Illinois for the Republi-
can cause. All the paid German orators in
Christendom cannot induce the German
adopted citizens to vote for Lincoln. They
will, almost to man, vote for the cham
pion of the right of the people to self gov
ernment.-BufaLo Courier.
This paragraph is eminently refreshing
to US of this region. For we know that
about three fourths Of the " German adopted
citizens in the West now operate with
