Terrific Tornado i'm ErllIasb bul
6Dslnly.

Braceville in Trumbull County, on the
Cleveland " Mahonng Railroad, some
eight miles West OF Warren, was Wis
tied on Saturday noon by the most ter"if-
ic tornado that was ever known in this
section of the West. 1t burst forth very
suddenly. The heavens became black,
the air thick to suilocation, and then
came the gale.
The station building at Bracevile, a
substantial frame buiding, with stone
foundation, was utterly demolished. The
timhers were hurled far into the air and
even the stone Foundation was taken up
and scattered wildly around.
Nearly opposite the station was small
frame house, occupied by jeremiah Gal
vim, an employee Of the road Mr., Gal
win was away, and as the tornado came
on Mrs. Calvin rushed frantically out of
the house to rescue her little daughter
who had gone to pick some berries. She
met the child and was returning to the
house when fence rail, which with count
less others was flying through the air,
struck Mrs. Calvin upon the head, crush
ing her skull and killing her instantly
Her child escaped unhurt. The house
was literally torn to pieces. a grocery
store. adjoining the house, was also utter
| ly dem olished.
The house of Mr.. Mason, half mile
northeast from the station, was thrown
over and Mrs. Mason had her limbs and
thighs broken. Her recovery is consider
ed hopeless.
The house of Asa Parker, formerly edi.
tor of the Western Reserve Chronicle,
about mile aud half from the station,
was unroofed aud three Of his children Sc
riously injured.
In the express office at the station was
package OF 500, $500 of which belong
ed to A. ID. Kibbe, of Pennington. This
OF course was scattered to the winds.
The track of the railroad for quite a
distance was covered with fallen trees,
which considerably delayed the trains.
The people were awe-struck and almost
spcechless. The tornado had risen so
suddenly that they knew not what it was,
nor realized where they were; and when
the afternoon train came along they could
only tremhlingly point to the ruins.
! The tornado was some quarter of q
mile in width and two miles in length

anxiety to make capital against DOUGLAS
out of the fact that most of the office. hold.

are but seven that support Breckenridge
Five Of these seven are published in hope,

combined circulation of the whole five

The Shady Republican Doctrine

"A negro in Massachusetts il cnpable Of
el'-government after one years residence
while lrishmen, Frenchmen, Germans &c.
are not capable of self government until
they have resided in the State seven years.
Negroes in New York, Vermont Maine,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island are
capable of self-government. "Visible
admlxture white male citizens of the Uni.
ted States" are capable of self.govern-
ment in Ohio; but the men, with strong
arms and stout hearts, who people the
Western territories, who make the prair
les smile with bountirul harvests, who
build up the Western cities and villages,
who give life to the places of industry
and throng tho marts of commerce are
unfit to govern themselves. Congress
must govern them, and deprive them of n
voice in regulating their domestic affairs.
Such is Black Republicansm, and from be-
ing ruled by such pernicous doctrines may
God in his infinite mercy save our coun-
try.

Gems for the Campaign.

When Lincoln was in Congress and
drew from the Government three pairs Of
boots as twenty five dollars worth of sta
tionery, he become SO stationary in the
estimation Of the people that they wouldn't
be Hnked-in-ogoin.
When Governor Dennison violates the
law by refusing to deliver up fugitives to
the authorities Of other States shouldn't
a "succedaneum" be appointed?
The Republican Dictionary says that a
negro can vote after one years residence
in Massachusetts, while it requires seven
years residence to secure that privilege
to a white man; hence it follows that a
negro is seven times better than descend
ant of Lafayette, De Kalb. Montgomery
and other patriots of foreign birth.
The Republican legislature Of Ohio
spent So, $50 Of the peoples money for
one grand "bust" Does it follow that it
was "busten" Legislature, and that the
taxi payers who foot the bills with their
money should also sustain it with their
votes?
Republican freedom means for a set of
men in Congress, who were never within a
thousand miles of the territories, to leg
islate for the hardy pioneers who are till
ing the soil ana making the evidences
to bloom and blossom as the rose"
Republican principles are that the ac-
tion of Congress must control the people
of the territories; or, in other words, the
people of the territories cannot and shall
not act for themselves. Such is the Re-
publicanism of the Lincoln party.

and another vote was taken as follows:

2l2%
Mr. Hoge, of Va. hen desired to NOV,
the unanimous nomination, and Mr.. Clarl
of Mo-, who had voted against ,Judr,
| Douglas; said it vas his intention to sec.
ond the motion. Mr.. IIoge then Offered
the following resolutions:
Resolped, unanimously, That Stephen A. Doug
las, of the State of Illinois, having now received
two thirds Of all votes given in this Convention
is hereby declared, in accordance with the uniform
customs and rules of former Democratic Nation
al Conventions, the regular nominee of the Dem
ocratc Party Of the United States for the Office
President of the United States.
After speeches by Mr. Sayles, of Rhode
Island, Mr.. Seymour, of New York, Mr.
Mason of Kentucky, Mr. Richardson OF
Illinois, Mr.. Craig of Missouri, and 9th.
ers, the question was taken on the resou.
ton, and it was ADOPTED BY A UNANIMOUS
VOTE. After the cheers and storms OF
applause had suhSided, the President, Col
Iod of Ohio, said:
Gentlemen of the Convention, as youl
presiding Officer, | declare Stephen A
Douglas of Illinois, by the unanimous
vote of this Convention, the nominee OF
the Democratic party Of the United States
for President. And may God in His in.
finite mercy protect him, and with him
this Union"
When the eapplausc had again subsded
John l.. Dawson of Pa, Mr.. Shipley OF
Maine, John Cochrane of New York, and
others who had not voted for Judge Doug
las, on any of the ballots by States, made
able and patriotic speeches in favor o
the nomination. There were regular bo
ma iide delegates in the Convention at the
time of the nominations from every State
in the Union except Texas, South Caro-
lima. Florida, Missippi, California and
Oregon, numbering 425 delegates or 2l2l
votes.
Thus it is placed beyond any doubt
that Judge Douglas was fairly, regularly
and according to the usages of the party
nominated by the Convention as the Dem
ocratic candidate for President, he having
received more than two-thirds of all tho
votes IN the Electoral College. Such be
ing the fact, no Democrat who respect,
the usages of the party and regards it a,
his duty to support the regular nomna
tions, can fail to see what that duty is at
the present jnncture. He may have pre-
lerrcd another name to that of the nomi
nee. but it is his duty to do as he would
have others do, provided his personal
choice had been gratifed. 1t is his duty
to yield his own choice, and support the
nomination made by tho Convention
Statesman.

Mr. Douglas in the south.

We gather the following news of the
movements oftho friends of Mr. DOUGLAS
in the South from the Southern journals:
The Savannah RepuJiicen says: "The
Douglas party in Georgia bids fair to
turn out more formidable competitor
than our Breckenridge friends ever dream
ell Of They, 1.-THE Douglas men have
the Democratic organization, and good
or bad, their leaders are the legitimate
representatives of Democracy. This will
give them great advantage in the fight;
one, of which the opposing faction, in
their opposing blindness have no estimate.
We are informed by Capt. j. A. Har.
man, says the Staunton Vindicator, a
member of the State Executive Commit
tee, that convention Of the Nationl Dem
ociatic party will be held in Staunton on
the 10th of August next. The object of
this convention is to organize the Nation
al Democracy for the Presidential contest,
and to take such steps as will secure the
electoral vote of Virginia for Douglas and
j Johnson.
Last night (says the Memphis appeal
of the 12th,) a large and enthusiastic
meeting of National Democrats was held
at the South Memphis market house. 1t
cannot be doubted that the Memphis Ma
tonal Democrats are largely in the ascen-
dency in Memphis, and the spirit they
evince by these large and frequent assem-
blies, cannot be misunderstood or under
rated. Douglas will receive the vote of
Memphis beyond all question.
At an adjourned meeting of the Ma
tional Democracy of Pontotoc county,
Mississippi, held at Plentitude in said
county, on Saturday, the 7th day of July,
1860, the following resolution was unaui-
mously adopted:
Rssolred, That the Democrats here assembled,
heartily ratify the nomination of Stephen A. Doug
las and Herschel V. Johnson as candidates for
President and Vice President ofthe United States.
Our advices, says the Memphis appeal,
from various parts of Kentucky, and what
we gather from our exchanges, give us
strong assurance that large majority of
those who have, up to Breckenridge's de-
sertion, acted with the Democracy, are
now for Dougas and johnson.
The Sou'hWestern News published in
Americas, has plucked " courage enough
to declare for Douglas. fla man intends
to stick to the Democracy right or wrong,
that is the only course for him to pursue.
Duncan McRae, leading Democrat
of North Carolina, and lately Consul at
Paris, made speech at Raleigh, last
week, for Douglas and johnson.
The Montgomery (Aabama,) CoWed-
eracy understands that the Democracy of
Tallapoosa are for Douglas, and nobody
else
A Douglas and Johnshn ratification
meeting was held at Maysville Kentucky,
on Saturday.
The Southern Sentinel, published at
Winfield, Louisiana, hoists the Douglas
an Johnson flag.
Douglas has thrty.two out of the for
ty five Democratic papers in Missouri.
