be furnished to assist them to join Juarc2

many to Join, but there is no evidence yet
of any actual movements.

The Legislature did not repeal the law
which provides for the publication of the
general laws. They discussed it until the
discussion cast she people more than the
publication Of the laws would cost, and
then let it slide. We are asked almost
every hour why the the laws are not pub
Iished. This we are unable to definitely
answer but we give it as oar opinion that
it is because there is not one cent of money
in the State Treasury. Under the man
agcment of the Black Republicans the
great State of Ohio is "dead strapped. -

Charleston Convention.

As our readers are aware the Demo
cratic National Convention will assemble
at Charleston one week from next Mon.
day. Every person is anxious to know
who has the inside track for the nomina
tion. A majority of the Democracy o.
this county are for Senator DoUeLAs, while
HUNTER, BRAcKINRlDeE. LANE and PIERCE
oil have friends. The Democracy of this
county, we believe without an exception,
are ready to give vigorous support to
the nominee, whoever he may be.
We cannot venture prediction as to
who will secure the nomination. We
have long since said that Senator DouG-
LAS would go into the convention with
about hundred votes, and that no ma
terial additions could be got to that num-
ber, and we have had no reason to change
that opinion. In short we look upon
his nomination as out of the question:
SO far as the other candidates are con-
cerned we are inclined to the belief that
Gen. LANE is the strongest man could be
nominated. We do not doubt that with
him as the nominee the enthusiasm of the
Democracy throughout the Union would
very soon reach height that it has nev.
er heretofore attained We think, how
ever, that at present Senator HUNTER, o
Va, has a better show for the nomina
tion than any other man. lie is all un
exceptionable man, but we would prefe
old 30. LANE.

Ehc Democratic Sentiment on
the Presidents Protest.

Since the day Gen. jackson sent his
celebrated Protest against the action of
the United States Senate, we have never
seen document more universally APP
proved by the Democratic press of the
country, than the Message of President
Buchanan protesting against the gross
and unwarrantabIe assumption of power
by the Covode Committee. Every Dem
ocratic exchange has published it With
editorials highly commenting it, endors-
ing not only its doctrines, but it's tone and
temper, and among the whole Democrat
ic press of the State, but one single Edi-
tor has dared so far to outrage the Dem
ocratic sentiment Of the country, as to de-
nounce either the Message or It's author

TRIUMPH OF THE RIGHT IN
REASON REsUMING HER EMPIRE.

At the late election for Supreme Judge
in Wisconsin, palties were fairly divided
on the question, shall the Constitution
OF the United States be maintained?-
Judge Dixon, who in the Booth case re-
fused writ ofhabeas corpas to take that
arrant scamp f ON the custody of the Uni
ted States Marshal, and who decided that
the Fugitive Slave Law, being declared
constitutional by the highest Court hav-
ing jurisdiction, must be obeycd as such,
was refused nomination by the Aboli-
tionists. He was taken up by the Dem
ocrats and conservatives, and on the
question thus made, at the late election
in Wisconsin, was triumphantly elected.
The issue. as stated by the Milwaukee
NeWs, the Democratic organ, was "thc
Union and Constitution, with Judge
DIXON as the standard bearer, on the one
hand, and Notification, represented by
Judge SLOAN, on the other" On this
issue the battle was fought, and Abo-
litionism was badly beaten. - Notiona,

appears that Frank b. sanborn, one of

the Senate Harper's Ferry Investigating
Committee. was arrested by officers at his
residence in Concord, on Tuesday eve

and the entire town was soon in violent
com motion, and one mans death Is said
TO have been occasioned by the uproar-
A writ OF habess corpus was sued out by
Sanborn's friends in Boston. and after a
hearing the prisoner was discharged
The Massachusetts Legislature took up

Hon. HS0V.eIiC0bh.

Hon. Howell Cobb, in his letter with
drawing his name aS a candidate Tor the
Pres idency, says he does this to secure
union and harmony among the Democrat
ic party, as he would not accept the nom
nation ut Charleston if his own State
was opposed to him. This letter, which
is long one, closes with the following
language;
"ln common with our hrctheren of the
South, we approach contest involving
the issues of life and death, Fanatlcal
and unScrupulous enemies, leagued to-
gether in political organization formid-
able in numbers, desperate in its fortunes,
malignant in its purposes, under a leader
worthy in every respect OF his associates
and followers, threaten to take possession
Of the Federal Govelnment-tha Gov
ernment which our fathers formed for the
protection of all. This party seeks to
control it for the avowed object OF bring
ing dishonor first and ruin afterwards up
on that portion of the country where our
lot has been cast. To meet and over
throw this enemy, by the aid of the friends
of the constitution, right and justice at
the North is our first duty; and failing
there to be prepared for the work of saw
ing the government if possible-ourselv-
cs at least from the dishonor and ruin
which would follow tho successful inaug-
uration of Black Republican admins

preparation for those duties must begin

to make, with the confident hope of being
fully and cordially sustained by the peo-
pie of Georgia"

The Great Breach Of Promise
"a DCcld cd Chn d re of ErNnI.

Our readers probably remember that
some months ago, Miss Carstang, of st.
Louis, sued Mr.. Shaw, a wealthy citizen
of the same place, for having broken his
promise to make her his wife, The Jury
gave her the muniiccnt verdict OF one
hundred thousand dollare damages. She
was contented, but Mr.. Shaw was not; so
he moved for another trial, and obtained
it. 1t has just been brought to close,
and Miss Carstang gets-iust nothing at
all. 1t will he her turn now to apply for
a new trial, though the experience of this
last one will probably not inspire her
with any very ardent desire for its repeti-
ton.
Miss Carstang, it seems, kept board
ing house in st. Louis, and after casually
making Mr. Shaw's acquaintance. cult
waited it by borrowing money of him on
several occasions. He became quite a
frequent visitor at her house, and she as
serts, promised to marry her. OF this
promise her sister was the principal wit
ness. Upon this second trial her whole
life has been subjected TO a merciless scru-
tiny, the result of which was a conviction
on the part of the jury that her record
was not sufficiently spotless to entitle her
to damages. She leaves the court, there
fore, not only without any pecunary sol
ace to her wounded affections, but with
the reflection that her whole life has been
scrutinized and siited and analyzed-ev-

subject to the modification of sitting day

that she had ensnared the defendant i'll hel

of his wealth, and that painful notorie

SOMETHING PEoULAR.-lt will be re-

Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad, were broken by a locomotive
For experiment, Mr.. McCowen, who has
charge of the repair shop in this place,
took one of the broken rails, cut it around
about one eighth of an inch deep, one
foot from the end, after which it was sub
iected to the sledge and at the first stroke
it snapped off, showing a perfectly round
body of iron. He then had the balance
of the rail heated to cherry red, and
cut around in the same way and at like
distance from he end as in the former
case. This was also subjected to like
test as before, and after one hundred
strokes, it showed no signs al giving wav.

RHODE. ISLAND REDEEMED

fthe opposition can rejoice over bare
escape from annihilation in Connecticut,
Why should not the Democrats rejoice
over the RECEPTION of State that has
been in the bands Of the opposition since
1852. The Democrats have a fair work
ing majority in the Legislature. The vote
for Governor stands:
Spragne, Democrat, ....................12 ,295
Paddleford, Republican,. n,........... 1929
-----
Democratic Majority. .............. ,46O
The vote is the largest ever polled in
the State. Rhode Island can be set down

has begun in the Northern States that
will sweep Black Republicanism from ex-
stance in November.
