STRANGE Story.

In village near Newark, England, in
an old thatched house, which has been oc-
cupied by the same family for nearly three
hundred years, there lives an old man who
has nearly completed his eighty sixth year
\ person who had occasion to visit him the
other day, was not little surprised CT
hearing the old gentleman, in the course
Of conversation, express his belief that he
was not onl y going to heaven, but had
been there once since his first introduction
into this world From the account he gives
Of the matter, it appears that when he was
about eleven years Of age he was in an ap-
parently liteless statc-which he called a
trance-for the space of nine days, and it
was during that tine Hat he thinks he vas
permitted 10 behold the glories Of heaven
His parents fully believed him to be dead;
the passing bell was rung; his coffin was
ordered and made and on the third day
his friends assembled for the purpose Of
following him to the grave. The clergy
man Of the parish went in to look at the
supposed corpse before the coffin lid was
screwed on, and finding it to be warm he
at once expressed his opinion that the child
was not dead, and after ordering the post
ponemcnt Of the funeral sent his servant
on horseback for doctor, who on arriving
at the house confirmed the assertion of the
minister, and instructed the boys mother
to moisten the boys lips with wine and
water twice day. She did so and on the
seventh day he showed signs of life by me
wing on the eighth day he could hear the
conversation of persons in the room, and on
the ninth day be vas able to open his eyes
and rise from the supposed bed of death.
Since that time his health has been deli
cate, but he has continued to occupy the
grazing land adjoining his cottage, and has
kept COWS after the manner Of his forefath-
ers.

BsB@The married men Of Janesville,
Wis, whose wives have gone Fast or are
absent from the city, held a meeting on
Friday-at least the Gazette 50 states
The Oldest sufferer present called the meet

then effected, which being done, all pres
ent united in singing, Come ye disconso-
late Burns 'Cottcr's Saturday NIGHT
was then read after which several resolQ-
tions were adopted denouncing the long alb
sence Of married women on visits to rela-
tives and friends as serious and growing
evil; asserting that any woman's OBJ
legations to her husband were greater
than those to her Eastern cousins aad
relatives by the wife's side, and suggest
ing the formation of a permanent organi-
zation for mutual aid and protection, and
for the promotion of the desired reform.
A baby was then brought before the As

Atenlpt 10 Blo1g Up Man Of Uar.-
During the celebration of the Emperors
fetc in Vienna, an attempt was made to
blow up mammoth man war, named
the Kaiser. An account says:
"The attention Of a sentinel on guard
over the powder magazine of the Kaiser
having been attracted by a faint grating noise
seeming to issue from the woodwork, he
gave the alarm. A search was made, and
crouching upon his hands and knees was
discovered an individual, who having sue
cecded in boringan augurholcinto the pow
der magazine, was already inserting the
WIRE to which was fixed the match which he
had destined to blow up the vessel with ey-
cry soul on board, the whole of the ships
lying in the neighborhood, the Archduke
and all his company, including, besides,
the greater part of the town itself
The gculprit belonged to the Kaiser,
and turns out to be the officer called in
the Austrian service Second Captain, which
answers to First Lieutenant in our own
lie was of course, Immediately seized, but
before he could be secured, had blown his
brains out with the pistol he carried in his
belt. He was an Austrian"

DOUGLAS Cursing HimseIf.

During the debate on the Missouri Com.
promise in 1850, Mr.. Douglas bitterly cursed
the man who should dare to disturb the
Missouri Compromise. He said:
"Blistered ought to be the tongue, and
palsied ought to be the hand that would
speak against and disturb so sacred COM
pact"
The tongue that soon afterwards spoke
against that sacred compact was the tongue
of Douglas, and his was the hand that tore
it asuuder Here is his glorifcation Of
that foul deed, spoken in Cleveland, Sept
22d, 1860, recorded by his own reporter
and published in his own organ, the Plain
Dealer of Sept. "a.
81 had more to do with the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise than any live man
l boldly avow it, and shoulder the respon-
sibilities of the whole act There is no
act Of my aOhole public life, IN Which Ihave
a more conscious pride than the repeal OF
the Missouri Compromise"
If the curses of Mr.. Douglas in 1850
were not "mere sound and fury, signifying
nothing" ," we should expect to see his tongue
blistered and his hand palsied after such a
declaration. OF a truth, "curses, like
chickens, come home to roost."- Cleveland

Pugh a sIave-Code Man.

Geo. E. Pugh, tho only United States
Senator who supports Douglas, said in a
speech in the United States Senate:
satisfy me that you have right, under
the Constitution Of the United States,
to carry your SLAVES into Territories and
hold them there; and into the States and
hold them there, and I a0W give you as
many acts Of Congress as you desire"
Now to satisfy Mr.. Pugh on this point,
we will quote from a speech made by S. A.
Douglas, in which he declared that
awe hold that Slaves are property, and
hence on an equality aOiM all other kinds
of property, and the owner of a slave HAS
THE SAME RIGHT to move into ter
ritory and carry has slave property sOith
him as the owner Of any other property
has to go there and carry his property"
Stephen A. Douglas insults the laboring
men of the Ninth District by asking them
to vote for him. They'll not do it; but
will cast their votes for Lincoln and Carey

Keep it Before the People,

That Mr.. Douglas declares slaves to be
property, and entitled to the same protect
ion as any other species of property.
Keep 1t before the people, That Mr..
Douglas endorses the Dred Scott decision
which declares it to be the duty of Congress
to protect such property.
Keep abefors the beople, That Mr.. Doug
las endorses the nomination of H. V. Johu-
son, who declares it to be the duty of Con
gress to enact law for the protection Of
slavery in the Territories.
Keep ii before the people, That on the
10th of May last, Mr.. Douglas boasted il
the United States Senate, that his doctrine
of ''non-intervention" had secured for sla
very, territory in New Mexico larger than
fUs States the size of NeiO York,
Keep il before hspeople, That the people
of Territory have no power to decide
whether they will have slavery or not, wher
the Supreme Court carries ii there, anC
protects it when there.
Keep 1t before the people, That Mr.. Doug
las declares that ho does not care whethe
the people of a Territory vote slavery "
or vote it down.-Detroit AdU.

The Battle Goes Well!

All the exaggerated and false reports to
the contrary, the battle goes we'll every
where. The talk of the enemy about New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
being doubtful, or going for Douglas, is gam
mon to cheat the rank and file into delusive
hopes and thus save an universal stampede.
New York is as certain as election day and
so are Illinois and Indiana regarded by our
friends, while the careful and cautious North
american, of Philadelphia, says of Pensyl
vania:
Our confidence in the result is confirmed
by all the intelligence from every quarter
and we have the best reason to believe tha
Mr.. Curtin's majority will range from Is
900 to 10000 and may far exceed it. Hi,
election is beyond doubt by large majority
the extent which may be determined BY
various contingencies. None of them car
reduce his strength, and some of them may
augment it materially.
The skies are bright and the prospects
most encouraging for glorious victory over
the advocates of wrong and outrage, and
the enemies of free labor and FREQ men.

A Bold Confession.

Gen. Ashley, in political discussion
with Jas. Steedman, at Bryan, few days
since put the following question to Steed-
man:
"Do you recognize the right of MAORI
ty in Territory, by popular vote or legis-
lative enactment, to reduce any class of
mankind and their descendants to perpetual
slaveryT
To which question Mr.. Steedman replied
~ do, emphatically."
On which the Toledo Blade remarks:- =
"To apply this principlo-if a majority o.
the people in a Territory should be Ger
mans, it would be entirely competent fo
them, by popular vote, to reduce the Irish
men and their descendants to perpetua
Slavery! OF course, any of such Irisl
slaves or their descendants, escaping anC
returning to their friends in the States
could be recovered and returned under Fed
eral authority, by virtue of the Fugitive
Slave law!

That the democrats in this Congressional
district are all calling the present worthy
Congressman, JOHN CAREY of Wyan-
dot county, "an old dsnadgogue," ," "anaudsiH,'
"illiterate,""G knoWnothing," and all other
abusive and ridiculous things. He is la
boring man, and advocates the rights of la
boring men. He is an honest and truthful
man, and will utterly confound all these vile
traducers by the overwhelming majority Of
freemen's votes on the second Tuesday in
October. He is a man of acknowledged
superiority over w. P. Noble, the country
lawyer, whom the sham democracy have
put up against him. While Noble was an
infant in arms, JOHN CAREY was in the
Northwestern Army, fighting for the free
dom of the Northwest. Remember this

and county officers, and Congressman takes
place. We appeal once more to every
man in the county. Have you done all you
can to make sure the success of the Repub-
lican candidates? Have you seen and con-
versed with all your neighbors? If there
is one of them who is not fully persuaded
in his mind as to the man he shall vote for,
sec him at once. The most desperate eff.
forts are now being made by our opponents
to re-elect John Bell and James N. Smith
They are taking desperate means to de-
feat John. Carey, and elect Warren P. No
bic, the Tiffin lawyer.
Let all the time before Tuesday morning
be spent in such manner that every votel
will be got out. If you will do this, the
Republican ticket in sandusky county will
be successful.

Pot Calls Kettle Black.

The Philadelphia Press, in an article
charging the Breckinridgeites with purposes
of Disunion, says:
stephens helped Cobb to break the
back of the Disunion monster in Georgia,
in 1850, and although Cobb has since de-
serted to the enemy, he will, with Johnson's
aid, entirely destroy it in ls6o,"
But where was H. v. JOHNSON, when
these things took place in ls5ol He was
at work for the "Disunion Monster" and
did all he could to defeat CoBB and the Un.
ion ticket. He was with GAuLDEN and
the other fre-eating Disunionists of Georgia,
writing letters declaring that the "right oi
Secession must be maintainedP' Now he
plays secOnd-iddle to DOUGLAS, and, Of
course, is pure patriotl-Ioledo Blade.

Douglas Testimony.

The Douglas sheets throughout the
country, not excepting those in this town,
arc continually asserting that the Republi-
cans are disunionists. Let us see now what
Douglas himself said in his speech in New
York the other day:
81 don't charge all the Breckinridge men
in the United States with being disunion-
lists; don't charge Mr.. Breckenridge him
self with being a disunionist; but l do ex-
press my firm conviction that there is not a
disunioniSt in america Oho is not Breck-
inridge man."
Perhaps the Messenger will say the above
is falsehood, Notwithstanding Mr.. Douglas
himself uttered it.

Honor the Old Soldier.

Hon. JoHk CAREY, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in this district, was a
soldier in the war of 1928, and did duty
in the ranks, defending tho settlers on the
frontiers of Ohio and Michigan, while the
lawyer, Warren P. Noble, was an infant, OF
unborn. JOHN CAREY is firm, unfinching
defender Of the rights and interests of the
laboring man, the farmer and the mechanic
His opponent, lawyer Noble, is opposed to
all these interests; and for proof Of this as
sertion, we refer you to the fact that he
supports Douglas, who "DoN'T CARE
ehether Slavery Is Voted UP or DOWN.
and H. v. johnson, who says "CAPlTAI
SHOULD OWN LABOR"

labor, vote for honest and faithful JoHS

ONE VOTE.

Do our friends throughout the county
fully estimate the Importance of securing
EVERY REPUBLICAN VOTE on Tues
day next. One vote may defeat the tscket
One vote lost in each school district will
give the sham democracy large majority
in the county. If every Republican vote
is cast, with those who will vote the Re-
publican ticket for the first time, all our
candidates will be elected.
If one of your neighbors is absent from
home cause his return if possible. If one
should think of going away, induce him to
remain until he shall have discharged a
freeman's duty by voting for the men Of
his choice.
There are men in every community who
complain of their officers, and generally the
ones who complain most are the men who
are seldom found at the polls on the day of
election. They claim that their business
prevented them from discharging this duty
Now we hold that it is every mans duty tc
vote for or against the candidates that ask
support of the people at the polls; and
should he fail to do 1t, he should never oper
his mouth against those that may bo sue
cessful.
Remember, then, ONE VOTE may Sc
cure the election of our candidates.
Remember, also, that the LOSS OF
ONE VOTE may DEFEAT our ticket
Do not let that vote be yours.

g Capital shOuId own Labor. ,,

In the last issue of the Democrat an ex-
tract is published from speech made by
H. V. johnson, at Philadelphia the other
day. The editor gives it with a great
flourish, and thinks now that every one
should be satisfied that johnson is every
thing that poor laboring man could ask
for as candidate. He will not tell any
thing of johnson being disunionist, or a
slsve-code man, end in favor Of re-opening
of the African Slave Trade. The editor
will not say anything of Johnson's insult to
the North, and to every man who works
for his bread when he declares that "CAP-
ITAL SHOULD OWN LABOR" This
same H. V. johnson at Pittsburg recently
made speech in which he got into col
lision with free laborers and made equally
offensive declarations. His real sentiment:
cropped out, in spite of his efforts to con
ceal them. The Gazette says:
While, however, Mr.. johnson refrained
from re-asserting that "Capital should owr
Labor" he could not refrain from his nat
ural inclination to insult the working man
Speaking of slavery, he said: "Look a
the SLA YES IN your own Vorkshopsl =
They are driven to the polls at the beck O
their masters, under penalty Of being DIS
charged"
This was received with indignant cries o
"Not SOP "No, sirp 'No, now "No sir
rec, bob!" The working men in the crowc
giving the insulting falsehood the mostem
phatic denial. A voice in the crowd asked
"What about capital owning laborp HI
answered by repeating the insult, in sub
stance; ~ do not believe" he said, in on'
white man owning another, as the MASTER
in your workshops do"
This, also, was received with the same in
dignant response of "No, no." Not soW-
and Mr.. Herschel Vesuvius took to belch
ing about popular sovereignty" to escap
from the aroused hostility of his audience.
