Deprived OF the Gospel by Foxes.


That was g novel but not so bad an argument
which the mountain member urged in the Ken
lucky Legislature. -
A few years ago bill proposing . premium
on fox scalps, was under discussion. II had
been somewhat roughly handled IN debate by
members from the more populous regions, where
ioxes were scarce, and Mr.. L., from one ol
the mountain counties, rose to reply. / give
only his peroration:
"And arc we, Mr.. speaker--we Of the noun
tain regions--not only to witness the usual de-
struction Of our crops, but actually to be de-
prived by these varmints Of the consolation of re-
hgionr This woke the House up, and set 1t
agaPe for an explanation. He continued
"You know, Mr. Speaker, that we live in a
rough countryi that your fancy churches--yOur
Presbyterians and Episc Ipallans--never send
preachers among US. We depend for the Cos
pei upon the circut-ridsrs of the Methodist
Church; and, sir, everybody knows that they
cannot be Iaduced to travel where there are
no chickens, and that chickens cannot be raised
where foxes abound"
The argument was unanswerab!e, and the
bill become law.

able. II with the small but gsllaut naval force
ofths country, We should be driven into war
with nation possessing q navy far more num-
erouS and poEerful than our own. we shOnld
then lie in a comparatively helpless condition
without the sid Of private~rs- We might with
almost as much propriety agree to abandon our
system Of volunteers militia, and trust alone TO
the regular arms for our defence on the land rs
TO deprive ourselves Of the services Of privateers,
which are our volunteers and militia upon the
ocean. Besides, priyateers may be strictly guar
ded from abuses by law, and be restrained
within theIules which govern our .regniar ncvy.
Neither would the abandon ment Of war aga.
inst private property upon the ocean, of itself,
afford freedom and security to our commerce. In
order to accomplish this object we must proceed
step further and obtain the consent OF the
powerful naval uatiOns that merchant vessels
shall not be blockadsd in port, but be suffered
to pass the blockading squadron and 60 out to
sea. II thete should be blockaded in our har
bOrs, there would be but comparatively little
private property on the ocean to protect. A
powerful feet. BY blockading the mouth Of the
Chesapeake, could efFectually prevent any mer-
chant vessel from going to sea from any port IN
that noble hay or its tributaries. So in regard
to New York, New OrleanS.&c.
If the proposition to abolish war against pri-
vate property on the ocean were combined
with proposition 10 secure to merchant ves-
sells perfect immunity from blockade in any
bort, then the subject would be well worthy
of serious consideration.
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN,

Interesting LcttbF from the Piesi-
dent Om Privateeriug.

We are glad to see the stron, ground the
President takes against the abrogation oil the
system Of privateering which, in case Of a war
from the smallness Of our navy, is almost Our
whole de ense. It is only BY the suffering and
loss OF the merchanile community that war is
prevented, and as long as England and France
knew that the moment one Of their merchant
,7els pnts out to sea that they are Liable to lie
up by our clipper built privateers, they
will strongly protest againsta rupture. With
fieetis sufficiently powerfully to blockade the
mouths Of our rivers and bays, England will
never be willing to allow merchant vessels to
pass in and out with imnunity, and unless the
utmost ire d}m IS given t. commerce during
the existence ofa war, it woull be folly in the
extreme for the United States to ABANDON sys-
TEN which experience hath shown is capable of
deadly injury to the enemy and corresponding
benefit to us.

Trouble Brewing Among the
"SliNtS."

In Illinois. a movement OF the reformed Lat !.
ter Day Saints--a movement which has been
on foot for some time past-on Tuesday cuIm-
mated in the accepta nee by Joseph Smith, the
younger. of the headship Of the church. The
object of this wing of the communion is to pat
an end to the corruption ani evils existing in
Utah, to displace Brigham Young, and to abol
lish polyg amy. ....
Joe has the prestige ofhis ather's name to
back him, and he will give Brigham Young
trouple, as his followers believe that he is the
lawful head ofthe Church. Out of these troub
les good may come, for a greater set Of scamps
than the Mormons OF Utah never were allowed
to cucumber the land. All who are not knaves
are fools-the leaders knaves Of the first water,
the dupes amoug the silest OF mankind for sub
hitting to the Mormon yoke.--NA. Dem.

The s KY.

The number so appears to be with the Re-
publicans, an ominous number. The infamous
Helper book, denouncing the Southern slave
holders as wors, than thieves or robbers, and
calling upon the slaves to free themselves, was
recommended and endorsed by Sixty Members
of Congress. The preamble and resolution late
ly introduced into the House by a llelperite
momb.r from Ohio, having in view the same OBJ
ject as the Helper book, received just Sixty
Republican votes.
Most Of the members, from Sherman down,
endeavored to clear their skirts in some way
from the stigma adhering to them for signing
the Helper work, but here we find Sherman
himself and Others inlorsns and voting Blake's
resolutions, which are quite as Objectionable as
anything to be found in the famed ''lmpending
Crisis" The truth is, the entire Republican
party are nothing more nor less than Abolition
ists and will so announce themselves the mo-
ment it is policy for them to do so. Then Wen
dell Phillips, or Lloyd Garrison will loom mp
as Presidential candidates, as Seward, Banks
or Bates do now. Look out for number 60.

Anxious for vrartyrd om.

Cassius NJ. Clay evidently aims to be mar.
tyr, and is painting for more abolition sympa-
thy. The following is an extract from letter
written by him to Northern newspaper:
"The mob increases in violence; lie upon
my arms awaiting an attack; my family abso-
utely refuse to retire, saving that they will run
bullets and aid, as in 1776. II driven into the
woods, shall attempt to hold my position as
long vs possible: standing on the Constitution,
the laws, and my rights, will defend them or
die. The cannon at Lexington is sent for and
the Governor aids.
as this my cause only, or that Of the Amer
ican people? l. it to be vindicated in this wav,
and now! Shall stand or fall alone? may
God defend the right?
"Your friend, G. M. CLAY
"P. L.-My daughters are as firm as | and
Mrs, G. d."
Now, the "mob' aboye spoken Of did not ex-
ist at all, and the "attack" OF which Mr.. Clay
speaks so patheticaly was not even threatened.
The heroism of Mr.. Clay, and his daughters
also, had therefore, absolutely no restraint to
prevent it from rising to the highest notes Of
mutual admiration But the sentence which
Immediately procedes the postscript, describing
these admra Bile daughters, invokes the hostile
aid of the North to aid Cassius M. Clay in sus-
tanning an incendiary position, and, flour inter-
probation is correct, it invites an Abolition in
vasion of Kentucky Is this what Mr.. Cassius
NJ. Clay means?- Wash. Constitution.

Another OherliM Sensa tiOn---A Ne
gre tS striped, COWhided aud Dfi-
ven from the Town.

On Monday last negro arrived at Oberin
and begged refuge and protection, claiming that
he was fugitive from Kentucky. AS some
suspicion existed as to his being genuine fugi-
tive, he was taken before the Mayor for exam
ination. The Mayor q fter close examination,
could not decide whether the negro was fu-
gitive or not, and declined having anything far
th,r to do with the case. The negro left the
Mayors office, but had no sooner reached the
street than he was seized by gangs OF negroes,
s,ne thirty in ALL who stripped him and COW,
hi led him until the blood spirited from his face
back and breast in torrents. He was then re
leased and told to leave town at once. He
started, but the black brutes, not satisfied with
whipping him almost to deaths door, pursued
him for two miles. with clubs and stones and
hidsous yells. Tht ring leader in this brutal
affair was one Evans, a negro and one Of the
notorious Oberlin rescuers. We receive these
particulars from reliable citizens of Oberlip,
who witnessed the transaction. Oberlin is com
pletely in the hands of the negroes, and their
rule, like that OF Hayti and other places where
blacks are in power, is pompous, despotic and
brutal - Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Abolition Prccept VS.. Abolition
Practice.
Yours, respectfully.
JAMES BUCHANAN,


Within week or two the Republican papers
have been filled with accounts of free darkey
in Washington whose wife was about to be sent
Seouth and sold as a slave. Letter writer's
found it prolific theme upon which to dwell,
and eloquent editorials appeared in the Aboli.
tion press, depicting in strong terms the agony
OF the thoughts of plrtins man and wife, and
always ending with the assertion that the phi.
linthropy OF the Republicans would not allow
the outrage to be cnnsunmitei. subscrip-
ton paper was started to purchase the woman
and to give her freedom, and then the Abolition
press ceased to pirate about the natter.
It seems that among the whole Republican
party in Washington, including the majority in
Congress, but $ll3,l ,l3, in two weeks time, could
be raised towards the $500 required to make
the purchase On the first OF April the woman
was to be taken South, AS the day approach
ed, a company OF Southern Members of Con
gress-all OF them saveholders-at party at
Wllard's Hotel, hearing Of the case, and deem
ing it hard one, took up a collection, and rails
ed among themselves the remaining $6S6,87,
and thus restored the wife, free woman, to
the arms OF her sable husband.
When called upon to open their purses and
to subscribe towards purchasing the woman's
freedom, the Abolition members Of Congress
very generally refused, pleading as an excuse
for not contributing the hypocritical excuse that
they were opposed to buying slaves. At the
sight Of subscription paper their hatred OF
slavery melts away before their love Of money.
Out upon such heartless hypocrites Mat. Dem.
