Nh. EpIroR-As chronicler Of events,
your attention is invited to the American
Graveyard, near the Garrison. Almost
every afternoon you might witness scenes
Of vandalism unequaled anywhere in the
world. The rising generation, boys from
ten to eighteen, repair thereto and amuse
themselves by shooting at marx on monu-
nsents and hcadstonesi thus desecrating
what in all nations, even whcre paganism
prevails, is held sacred. Tuesday after
noon the youngsters were in ecstasics
when good shot was made, that shat
tered some monuments or hea6stones over
loved ones. The guilty oones are not of
the lower classes. The sons Of some of
our most worthy and we'll behaved citi
zens are there, and some not twelve years
old had pistol in hand yesterday. II is
the imperative duty of every good citizen
to zee that their children have no pistol,
or other bodily weapons in their possess
sion, and to ascertain the company they
keep. as near as possible. Itwould surprise
some of our most orderly citizens TO take
a walk unperceive1 in that rendezvous of
those depredators, and see their ue,y young
sons, pistol in hand, engaged in those
sports. Something must be done to stop
those proceedings, and it is impossible for
the police to effect much without the CO.
operation of the parents ESPECIALLY as the
graveyard is not fairly under the munich

LOvRJOY's SPEECH.

In a former paper we gave a Geographic sketch
of Lovejoy's speech. and this week copy it in full
as published 10 the Washington Globe. We trust
that no one will be deferred from reading it be-
cause Of it's length, for a live Congressional
speech is o rarity Of which we need hardly expect
duplicates during the present generation. Though
open to objections. there is so much backbone in
its development it is really refreshing 10 read
il. Like all other ~insisters upon the anti
slavery character Of the Constitution, Mr.. Love
joy walks in a fog part Of the time, and in accord.
ance with the usages of his school Of abolition
lists. lays great stress upon the fact that the words
slaUe or slavery are nowhere used in the Constitu
ton. but that human beings are always referred tc
as persons. Very good ! But Webster-not thu
Daniel-who is good authority in this land. de
foes "SLAvE: A person who is wholly subject Il
the will of another" which, If his definition bt
correct. invalidates any argument built upon To,
assumption that 10 referring TO the slave as a per
son, you thereby deny he is a slave.
Mr.. L~ovejoy's bridal illustration is more poeti
cal than practical. When it is remembered tina
in twelve Of .he thirteen original States SLAYER,
was a labor system, and that many Of the mem
bers of the Convention which framed thI
Constitution were shareholders, and not
few Of them determined to protect their sys
tenn by guarantees under the Federal Union, i
would seem as if Mr.. Lovejoy threw it ~altogethe
too much in the background. when he compare
it to a wart upon a lady's hand lie could hav,
found a much more appropriate bridal illustration
than the one be selected. in the marriage of al
Irishman to a Southern heiress. evil you TAX

CHARLESTON CONVENTION.

We suppose the Democrats are having = good
time this week at their Charleston nominating

worse than a visitation from the Cholera, Yellow
fever or any other pestilence. Charleston Was
bad enough in its every day life, bot II takes ..
more fertile imagination than is ours to conceive Of
it's condition with the 9Th Of a DemocratioN National
Nominating Convention poured into its precincts.
Il has been with us a foregOne conclusion these
two years past, that Douglass would not only be
the Democratic nominee, but the successor OF
james Buchanan. We may be miataken.in regard
to his obtaining the nomination, but if hs- does
not, it will be given to some other willing tool Of
the South. In'the days.. Of political anti.masonfy,
there were MasoDe. and Jack-masons, The latter
not being members Of the Lodges. but doing all the
dirty work the members required. SO we have

ers that the Jack-masons did to Mssons. II mat.
tiers little who gets the nomination. Slavery will
rule the Convention, and will say to the wire
workers as Jack Easy's father said when his heir
was about to be named you may call the child
just what you choose I am not at oil particular
about the matter, but The boys name is Jack" And
so with the nominee Of the Convention, whether II
be Douglass or some one else. the boys name will
be Jack, and he will do the dirty work Of the
Jack slaveholders. "

ABOLITION CONSISTENCY.

One day lsst week a company Of negroes, fugi.
tives we believe, arrived in this place in q dss.i.
sute condition. They we're clothed in rags, we're
half starved. and tired and foot sore from the Of.
iecss Of travel. They had doubtless heard Of the
warm expression of sympathy which had gone
forth from Summit county to the world. in behalf
of the poor slave; and directing their steps to-
wards the supposed Beacon Of liberty, came here
in expectation Of a consistent reception. They
we're din ected, of course, to the residence Of some
Of our leading Abolition friends; but instead Of 30.
ing received in a manner consistent With the
doctrine of negro equality they we're turned from
their doors, Notwithstanding the piteous appeals
for aid. AT q late hour, they came to the door Of
a DENocRAT, and were fed. lodged, and sent on
their way the next morning. Precepts and prae-
tices differ. -
We are indebted for the above to the National
Democrat, Cleveland. and We fully agree with the
editor of that paper in bis sententious declaration
that 'Precepts and practices differ and it is .
fortunate thing that they do, both in the case Of
the Democrat above referred to 1.-THE person, not
The paper, and in that Of the editor.
1t is not to be presumed that the Democrat who
acted the part Of the Samaritan to those who we're
escaping from the thieves into whose hands they
had fallen was ignorant Of the requirements Of the
Fugitive Slave Law, or Of the Compromises Of the
Constitution. How then docs IL happen that he
violated the one, and disregarded the other D.

and voted scores of times for resolutions dsclar.

ell The Democratic Samaritan takes them in,
feeds them, gives them beds, and the next day,
TO the eminent hazard Of the Union, sends them on
their way rejoicing; aud that. is what the editor
Of the Democrat would call 'PRAcTIcEs.'
And this same editor. being cognizant OF these
facts, instead of denounoing the viola,or Of the
law and the endangerer Of the Union, as she con-
ductor Of Democratic paper is in party honor
bound to do, speaks of him apprOviugly. and draws
a favorable comparison between such conduct, and

LAW AND ORDER.

These are fine sounding words, but practically
and in the manner in which they are used, they
are as great humbugs as ever were invented. The
self appointed conservators of the peace say, men
must obey laws because they are laws, and that
they soM obey them il they are loyal. order loving
citizens. The recen, duel that was not fought by
Pryor and POtter-a duel, by the way which grew
out of L~ovejoy's speech-is a pertinent illustration
of the way in which these conservators of the
peace, these men whose reverence for law is IN
bounded, and who are the law makers of the coun-
try, break like pipe-stems every statute which in.
terferes with their private designs.
There is a law in the District of Columbia
against duelling, though no one would suspect il
unless he saw it upon the statute book, or receiV'
ed some Evolutionary report Of such C dead letter
enactment. That law, which was passed in 1885

GINA, sent a challenge, and Potter of Wisconsin
accepted it, although the duel did not take place
because the challenger did not fancy the weapons
chosen by the challenged. If We mistake not
Virginia, with all her chivalry, has a statute
against duslling which prohibits q principal from
holding any official station aud Wisconsin, b,
her Constitution, ~deprivss any one who may senc
or accept q challenge, of any ufdce be may hold a
the time. and forever disqualifes him from hold
ing any Office Of honor, trust or profit in the gif
Of the people. The correspondence Of the prin
oipals in the case referred to. the sending of th'
challenge and its acceptance have al. been spreac
before the public by newspaper aid. The laws o
the District have clearly been violated, but the au
thorities are ~culpably silent and inactive. They
dare not even so much as whimper about law ans
order, when it refers to O law against d~uelling anC
it's proper observance. If the Fugitive Slave Law
had been thus violated, every Democrat aud every
Tom Corwin Republican would be shouting at thu
top of his lungs in favor of law an1 order.
