BURNING NEGROES AT THE STAKE
The st. Louis Ne,os condems the spirit of
the late speech of Mr.. Van Wyck, of New
York, and says portions of it were gravely
false and uncharitable, if he meant to con-
vey the idea that cruelty to male slaves in
the South was the rule, and kindness the
exception. Kindness was the rule-cru-
city the exception. 'But''-says the
NeluS:
"But, nevertheless, cruelty exists-and
slaves have been burned to death at the
stake In the slave States. No longer ago
than last summer, negro man committed
an Infamous outrage in Saline county, in
this State, and he was instantly seized by an
inturiated mob, composed, it is said, of the
best citizens of that county. He was tied
to stake. The faggots were piled high
around him, and lighted. And there in the
broad daylight, in a land of law, courts
and civilization, in the presence of Chris
tian community, the infuriated throng pres
sed around the fiery circle, and looking
with approving emotion, perhaps not with
savage JOY, upon the shrieking victim, who
leaped at the stake, ani yelled in horrible
pain as the flames licked his ouiverinc
thews and muscles, and finally swept his
charred body to the earth"

The Charleston Convention.

The National Democratic Committee

for holding the National Democratic Con-

the d:sgraceful conduct of the Charleston
press, in regard to the Convention, than
do Southern Democrats; but it is urged
that the business of making a candidate
and platform may be very quickly dispos-

The previous question will cut off pro-
tracted discussion upon distractions, and
the ground will certainly be taken, that
whoever refuses to vote for resolution

room for quarrel and for that disruption

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-During week be-
fore last. sloop engaged in the oyster
trade was found off Staten Island, New
York at sea, and upon examination it was
ascertaincd, that no persons we're on
board, and that the vessel bore marks OF
a bloody encounter. The deck was cover
ed with blood, at places showing signs OF
a struggle. At the sides OF the vessel
were to be seen punches OF hair clotted
with blood. On the stairway leading to
the deck was to be seen the mark OF
hatchet, where evidently in the encounter
the hand of one of the unfortunate victims
in clinging to the stairway had been cut
off. The small boat Of the vessel was
gone. 1t was found upon bringing the
vessel to New York that the sloop had
left the harbor of New York but shortly
before in charge of Captain, two boys,
and man by the name of Johnston. a
vessel had run into the sloop the night
before she was found, when the small boat
was still aboard, and but one man made
his appearance on deck. Particular atten-
ton was not called to the sloop at that
time. The Police of New York were soon
on the track of the murderer, and a series
led to his speedy capture. a man IN a
small boat landed on Staten Island, and
left the boat on the beach. Shortly after
person with bundle stopped at res
taurant, and his conversation seemed
rather suspicious. He was traced on a
Ferry boat, where he had the same bundle,
and made an exhibition of some money
in the bundle, about $1,000 as alleged,
which he had saved from a shipwreck.--
He was finally traced to his home in New
York, was seen to leave the city with his
wife and child and was finally captured in
a private dwelling on the outskirts of
Providence, R. |. \ gold watch, belong
ing to the Captain of the sloop, was found
in his possession. The name of the sus-
pected murderer is William johnson, and
it is supposed, that he murdered his three
unfortunate victims singly, the clothing
of the Captain being found unsoiled with
blood, and rendering probable the infer
ence, that he was in bed, when the other
two were murdered. The unfortunate
man has been brought to New York, where
his trial will come off in due time. a more
daring and cold-blooded murder, it has
not been our lot to chronicle in many a
| day.

Have We a King to Rule Usl

A few years ago, says the State Journal,
the inquiry was very generally made by
the press, Hare lce Bourbon among as !?
The pretensions, whether real or feigned,
of the reverend gentleman, known by the
name of Williams, to be a son of Louis
XVI, were of far less Importance to US
than the inquiry, "Haoe ice king to rule
uS
1t has been claimed for these United
States, that they constitute Federal Re
public, where the people, through their
elected representatives, are sovereign; and
that we know no other ruler claiming
"right divine" to domineer over us.
Recent events however, lead us to doubt
the correctness of this conclusion. In
Congress, and through the press of the
South, we find another supremacy openly
avowed over and beyond that of the peo-
pie. A Senator from South Carolina an
nounces in the Senate chamber of the
United States that "Cotton is king" and
all his brother Senators from the slave
breeding and cotton-growing States tacitly
concur in the statement; nor does it meet
with stern rebuke from any considerable
number of Senators fromsthe nominally
"free States" We are therefore con-
strained to admit the assertion to be true,
that we are ruled by a king; and one more
tyrannical than any who sits upon Eu-
ropean throne. King Cotton makes war
for US, but, like most other kings, does
not fight the battles nor pay the cost of
his wars-the country must do this Our
king DEGREES that all who enter his domin-
ions must acknowledge his supremacy and
bow to his behests, and that all laws or
constitutions which conflict with his pleas
ure, or the security of his throne, are null
and void The United States post-office
obeys his orders, and submits to his min.
ions the contents Of its mails, that all mat
ter which he deems reasonable may be
destroyed, Freedom of speech or of the
press is frequently inconvenient to kings
therefore ours interdicts both. He decree,
that the labor of those who are not hi,
slaves shall not be protected, nor shal
they be permitted to occupy the publ
domsin unless they first pay for it. H
not only denonaces and Furnishes all VIII
vote for the restriction Of his power, bu
spends the money Of the public treasur
to keep his minions in place, and to infu

deavoring to make himself as potent il

The FREE BANKING LAW.-Under
the new law, the power to establish banks
Will exist wherever the requisite capital
can be obtained, and a sufficient amount
of business is transacted to render them
profitable but while this wide extension
of banking privileges is made, every pos
sible precaution is taken to guard note
holders against loss, and indeed they are
more completely and effectually secured
than under the old law. Notwithstanding
the many stringent provisions applicable
to our present banks, failures have occa-
sionally occurred by which note-holders
have been subjected to great losses, and
this seems impossible under the new sys-
TEN.
Under banking system we do not
doubt that the number of banks will be
greatly increased in our State. Indeed,
every prominent village will probably es-
tablish such an institution, and localities
which have long vainly importuned the
Legislature will now crafty their deferred
hopes. Many of the existing banks will
also find rival Institutions springing up by
their side, for the favoritism which some
Of them are accused of manifesting toward
dPpHcahtS Ior discounts, Will, necessarily,
lead to new banks. 1t is probable that,
in some eases, banks will be established
where they cannot be well sustained; but
the experiment need not, necessarily, be
injurious to the public, for note-holders
will be amply secured, and stockholders
must take their risks In this as in all other
kinds of business. Besides, the minimum
amount Of capital required is so small, that
institutions can be created whose operations
will be in accordance with the demands of
localities in which the amount of active
business and of capital is very limited
The Press
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1860-04-12

people imagine that whilst they are per-
mitted to go to the polls and vote for the
agents and tools of King Cotton, they are
governing themselves. When the afro
cious acts of this usurper are pointed out
to them they admit the tyranny, but, like
loyal subjects, are ready to assert that "the
king can do no wrong" because, say they,
these despotic acts are necessary TO the
preservation of his power, and without
their exercise he would speedily be depos-
ed, since he has no legitimate claim to
rule beyond what is derived from having
three millions of slaves whom he may sell,
use, or misuse, besides the other millions
whom he uses without claiming the ri ght
to put them on the auction block.
That this king is but an impudent usur-
per must be apparent to all, since if we
are no longer "a republic" but monarchy,
corn or hay would be able to exhibit a far
better title to rule, and the sway of either
would be more universally acknowledged
than that of "King Cotton" Neither of
these would find it necessary to marshal a
host of slaves to maintain his dominion,
since either might be maintained to be
the representative monarch of free la
Dor.
We are therefore not only ruled by a
ferocious despot, who is not willing to ac-
cord to us any right which might conflict
with his assumed supremacy, but who is
himself base usurper, whose family was
transplanted to these shores since our no
BILE Declaration of Independence was pro-
mulg ulgated. His Native American compet-
itors were here when the "Pilgrim Faith
ers' landed, and are entitled TO rule, if we
must have king-for even King Potato
has stronger claims upon us, if he would
assert them, than King Cotton.
Cotton, however, is conceded to be King,
and it only remains for us to overthrow
the despotism which he has established
and reclaim the rights which he has wres-
ted from US, or sink into the condition OF
abject slaves of his will. The question
has been placed before the people and the
issue is fairly made. Shall we demonstrate
| to the world that we are a nation of free
men, owning no sovereign but the expires,
sed will of the sovereign people, through
their unbribed and untrammelled represen,
! tatiyes as our fathers decreeS 4? or cha L
we admit that free government is failure
that cotton is king, and slavery "pa
triarchal tenure, divine institution, ,
which we are bound to extend, foster anc
protect-and thereby repudiate the asser
tions of our revolutionary patriots, who
proclaimed liberty to be the birthright o.
all men, and denounced all kings who rule
by making their subjects slauess

BARNUM ERECT.-We see by the New
York papers, that the great Snowman has
disposed of the great clock debt, and come
to 'time." The Museum is to be once
more under his control, and the world is
to sit down to its ancient feast of aston
lshment every morning. While the Phar-
iseee were abusing him, Barnum was in
Europe lecturing, and applying his ear
nings to the extinguishment of his indebt-
edness. That was honest, anyhow.
