MORE FRUIT.

The irrepressible conflict has already
commenced at the South, but not exactly
in the way Senator Seward anticipated
when he announced it at Rochester. 1t
is wsged wholly upon free negroes, who
arc the sole sufferers, and is directly trace
able to the insane interference of the
black republicans of the North in the do
nestle affairs Of the South. The free ne
gro population in that section of the Union
was always regarded as harmless and in
offensive, and was granted all the rights
and privileges that could be consistently
asked for them. Indeed, they were re-
garded with more liberation than even at
the North, where some Of the free States
have excluded them altogether Since
tho black republicans have taken to stir
ring up scditions and Instructions among
them, in accordance with the advice of
Seward, Helper, and other lights Of the
Same stamp, the Legislatures of those
States have been nhlired Cor salf-nroiec-
ton, TO expel this class from their bor-
ders, as Illinois and Indiana have done.
Arkansas has already passed law giving
the free negroes of the State the alterna-
tive of migrating before January lst,
1860, or becoming slaves. The conse-
quence is that, while few have prefer
red servitude, the great body have left
their homes for the cherries hospitality
that is extended to them in the northern
States. Missouri is following her exam
pie, aud bill has already passed both
Houses of the Legislature looking to the
same end. 1t prohibits any stakeholder
from rewarding his faithful slave for long
years Of devoted service by giving him his
freedom, unless he enters into a bond of
two thousand dollars to remove the oman-
cipated slave from the State forever. 1t
provides that every free negro or mulatto
over the age of eighteen years, now liv-
ing in the State, shall leave it before the
first Monday in September, 1860, on pain
of being sold at public auction into slave
~ for life. All free negroes and mulat-
toes under eighteen years Of age shall be
bound as apprentices Till they are twenty
one years of age, twelve months after the
expiration Of which they shall leave the
State or be sold into slavery. Any free
negro or mulatto who shall come into the
State after The first Monday in Septem-
Der, 1861, and remain twenty-four hours,
shall be sold into slavery.
The provisions of these laws may seem
harsh and oppressive, and so they are,
aud they could not have been enacted un-
less the necessity for protective measures
was most imminent. But they are no
more harsh and oppressive than the en-
actment of the Michigan Legislature
which consigns every southern citizen who
brings his colored servant into the State,
to incarceration in the penitentiary for the
term Of ten years.

Eg- Owing to the personal character
Of the latter portion of the above article,
from our correspondent, we are compelled
to omit it. From the same cause are we
also obliged to decline the publication of
the correspondence from an esteemed pat
ron and friend at the Clay Banks. We
were kindly advised through both of these
sources of n great wrong and injustice we
committed against j. S. BRILLHART, an
honorable and prominent citizen of Pent-
water. In the issue of the News of the
18th inst. there appeared, in an article
over the signature of "AIcUs," an I'M
truthful and personal attack upon the
character of Mr.. b., rs before intimated.
We innoccntly published the article of
" AIcUs," by personal solicitation, and
had no design in perpetrating The wrong.
Under no circumstances, we believe, shol'd
the columns of newspaper become the
medium of personalities, and we will not
knowingly permit it in the NeWS.

PENrwATER, Jan'y 81, 1850


Messrs. BARNS d FosnA Doctor Y.
WEAR is about removing from this place
to Grand Haven to practice his profession.
DR.. WEAR is a good citizen and under
stands his profession perfectly, and we are
10th to part with him-as he is the only
physician we have in this vicinity. He.
desires moro extensive practice, which
no doubt he will receive from the inhabit-
ants of Grand Haven. Now, we shall
be sadly in want of good physician, one
that would be willing to make this his
home. m
We have thriving little village, with
an industrious set of inhabitants. l think
this village is destined to make an impor-
tant point for trade-as we have as good
farming lands in the vicinity Of this village
as there are in any other portion of the
State, and those lands can now be had
for fifty cents per acre. There is but lit
tie land within ten miles of this village
that is not taken, and the people are
aware that there are chances in this coun-
ty that are seldom met with. Last sum-
mer there was general stampede for
those lands, and the new settlers are Of
such class that would do honor TO any
new country; they are hard working
and industrious class; in few years they
will have improved farms, and Pentwater
is almost the only market within thirty
miles. The inhabitants are fully aware
that there must be an outlet for the pro-
duce of the county, therefore the owners
of the real estate of Pentwater intend to
do all they can to induce mechanics and
laboring men to settle among us. Brill
hart q Tower will give lot, gratuitously,
to any man that will build on it, and |
think G. Mears will do the same.
We have two good stores here. Goods
and provisions can be bought as cheap
here as at any other point on the lake
shore. We have two good saw mills,
one belonging to Brilliant & Tower, and
the other to G. Mears. These mills will
cut from three 10 four million feet of lum.
Der tho coming season. This is also one
of the best fishing points on the shore
; There are five companies engaged in this
business, and all doing well. In regard
to reaching Chicago, during the season o.
navigation, passengers can at all times
obtain conveyance either by steam or sal
vessels n Il n

LOUISVILLE, August 8.-The following
counties give McClarty majorities: Gala
tin 60, Carol 81. The following counties
give Combs majorities: Bullet 229, War
rem 695, Simpson 2O6. The election of
Combs is conceded by everybody. The
majority is variously estimated. AS far rs
heard from in thirty-five counties, Combs
leads by $4,000.
The Breckinridge wing in this section,
complain that the Douglas wing transfer
ling their nominee, to Combs. Combs
majority therefore depends on the action
of the two wings in the Democratic conn
ties yet to be heard from, which are un-
approximate by railroad or telegraph. 1t
will be some days before the final result
will be ascertaincd.

EVEN THOSE who are in the enjoy
ment of perfect health frequently have
need to have recourse to tonics as preven-
tives of disease. We are never too well ar
mored against the assaults of ''the ills that
flesh is heir to-" Such un invigorator they
may find in HosTETTER's BrrTEns-a
medicine that cannot be taken regularly
without giving vitality and elasticity to
the system. At this season, particularly,
the strongest man is not proofagainst the
malaria, in certain sections of this country.
In all cases of fever and ague the p1TrERs
are more potent than any amount of quiz
nine, while the most dangerous cases of
bilious fever yield to its wonderful proper
ties. Those who have tried the medicine
will never use another, for any of the all
mcnts which the Hosteue, Bitters profess
to subdue. To those who have not made
the experiment, we cordially recommend
an early application to the BITrERs, when
ever they are stricken by diseases of the
digestive organs. Sold by druggists and
dealers generally, everywhere.
