THE RETURNS.

The State Central Committee is exceeding
ly anxious to have the full retrns of every
county telegraphed TO Columbus Tuesday
night, in order that the result in the State may
be announced Wednesday morning. Let us
for once resolve that Delaware shall not be
among the last counties in the State heard
from. The full returns for the entire county
might easily be in Delaware by ten o'clock
Tuesday night. All that is necessary to effect
il is for the Judges (as is done in most of the
counties) to sort out the tickets and count
them as assorted, which win occupy but fifteen
minutes to half an hour. This will give the
result. and the Trustees can then proceed
at their leisure to count the votes for the Elec-

NAY mot an American Citizen be Fres-

The grave question Is presently TO be decl-
dei whether citizen of the United States
constitutionally elected to the Presidency
shall he permitted to perform the functions Oh
that high Office? We notice daily signs 10 the
Southern papers, and read frequent letters
from Southern politicians, all tending TO one
point, viz: That if Mr. Lincoln should oe
elected it will become the duty "f the south
eru people to make instant preparations Tor
secession from the Union Upon the basis oil
this threat many interests IN Northern CON-
rn,,ni,ies have been terrified, and many iufiu-
euces controlled So iiadustriously has it
been persisted in that hundreds Of citizens OF
Philadelphia have allowed themselves to
believe IN it. and more than one man who
has heretofore depended on his own energy.

Lincoln should be elected President he viii be

We are not for Lincoln IN this fight We

DOUGLAS ON LINcoLN.-A correspondent OF
the Albany Journal states that few evenings
since, in company with one of Albany's most
eloquent and reputable clergymen, and several
orther gentlemen, the reverend gentleman said
that in the year 1858, in New York. in con
versation with the Hon. S. A. Douglas, Mr.
Douglas remarked that he knew a man named
Abraham Lincoln, who. should he ever be
nominated for the Presidency, "1eorld go to
the White House NTH flying cotors," and be
further added: Il recognize in him all the
great quaIities@tlaat distinguish the upright
and honest statesman, and he is man of un-
compromising firmness and great decision of
character, inasmuch that his political oppo-
nents, with all their spirit of party malevo-
lence, cannot find anything to condemn in
him. Such man, sir, is Abraham Lincoln of

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN ST. LoUIs-A
You've LADY BURNED TO DEATH.-A shock
ing accident occurred at the reeidence Of Mrs.
Reilly, in ST. Louis, on Sunday last, which
resulted in the death of a young lady named
Ann Ravel. The ST. Louis Republican says:
Miss Ravell had just retarned home from
church, and hurriedly approached the fre bla-
zing on the hearth. to warm her hands, Up
on turning suddenly aroand. the skirt of her
dress, which was greatly expanded by hoops,
took fire, and instantly enveloped her in
flames. She hal. hawcv,r, stis,.gay reached
the open air wien a heavy blanket, was
thrown over her body by Mrs. Reilly. By
this time the poor girl had lost her strength
aud, bewiidered by her intense pain. and al
most srffncated by the deadly inhalation
which it was impossible to avoid, she fell at
the touch of the blanket. The groans and
cries of the sufferer were heart-rending in the
extreme but the spectacle that was present
ed on removing the blankets was appalling
Bat few shreis of the dress remained. and
disclosed at once the terrible havoc made by
the flames. The whole body, from the feet to
the neck, was frightfully burned. She lived
until the next morning.

some high government officials are in league
with Toonabs. Wise, Wigfall, Ciingman, Yam
cey and their crew, in concecting schemes of
treason, and will endeavor to inaugurate revolu-
ton. That there are those among the South
ern hotbloods who desire disunion and will do
all in their power to effect it, there is little
room for doubt; but that there is also pow
erful party in all the Southern States opposed
to their reasonable projects, is equally clear.
These fellows have SO long cried disunion, that
in order to escape ridicule and appear consist
ent We should not be surprised if they attempt
ed some desperate measures, though in doing
so they will probably, while endeavoring to
instigate others to acts of violence, be careful
not to criminate themselves.
Their threats and bravado will fail to in
tiulidate the Republicans from exercising their
constitutional right of voting for the man of
their choice for the Presidency; and if the ex-
ercise of that right on the part of majority
is TO afford the minority cause for disunion and
revolution, the sooner it is known the better.
The North will not dissolve the Union-if the
South does it they will probably feel as severe
ly as any other section the effects of their folly

THE VeIcE OF THE SotrH.-Tt is a pity
that those who haze been disturbed by "the
political prospects of the country" could not
see the Southern journals more generally, aud
note the tone of public opinion which is re-
fected by the more responsible of them If
they could, they would discover that nearly all
the disunioniSm that exists is of Northera
growth, that all the alarmists are in daily
communication with Wall street, and that the
South, especially at all the great commercial
centers, treat the idea of resisting the Consti-
tionally elected President, as pure chimera
of misguided and infatuated madmen."- IN.

MORTALITY FROM DIPrHERIA.--7 his
dangerous throat disease is very pre-
valent in almost every section of the
country. There were twenty deaths
from it in st. Louis last week. It is
also making fearful ravagas among
children in various parts of northern
Illinois. 1t proves fatal in the ma
jority of cases despite the special at
tention of the best physicians. The
malady begins with a cold and sore
ness in the throat, and progresses
with the formation of membrance
in the windpipe. which finally chokes
the little sufferer to death. In Wow
of the present prevalence Of this un-
manageable and exceedingly periious
disease parents should especially be
careful to guard their children from
exposure and colds.

Southern politicians are avowedIy great
sticklers for a strict observance of the require
ments of the Constitution, yet Gov. PETTUs, OF
Mississippi, in casting about for plan by
which to punish the freemen of the North for
voting their sentiments in the selection of a
President. proposes "a tax on Northern manu-
facturers and individuals, looking to non-inter-
course commercially with the Abolition States, y
in other words, the passage of embargo and
tariff laws by State Legislature. which the
Constitution in express terms prohibits.

One of the most remarkable incl
dents of the day, which we have too
briefly noticed heretofore, is the
speech of Mr.. Boots at Richmond VIZ
qiaia. Let it be observed that his
sueech was made to a great audience,
and all its strong points applanded--
The Richmond Enquirer says the
speech is revolutionary. But mark,
there stood a Virginia audience to
sustain it and, mark, also, that 1T Is
in its political aspect, the Republican
doctrine.
The position affirmed by the Re
publicans is that Slavery is not nation
Alt exists by local law only, and
of course, cannot exist in the Terri
tories till there is local law there TO
maintain it. This was also the doc
trine of oil old Virginia statesmen.
The doctrine of the Breckinrldge and
Secession party, on the contrary, Is
modern heresy.
But let us hear Mr. Bolts:
In the early history of Slavery liz
the American Colonies, slaves were
recognized as property but 1T last
the question was tested by the cele-
brated Somerville case. in which Lord
Mansfield decided that slaves were
not property under the common law,
and from that day to this they have
been SO regarded in this country. A
horse is property everywhere-so
recognized by the common law-and
therefore needs DO protection but
human beings must be reduced To prop
erty BY special law, and they cannot
be held as property except where such
law prevails. and this was the constl-
tufional view, Lord Mansfield made his
descion shortly before the American
Constitution was written, and the atl-
thors of that document recognized the
legality of the decision in one of the
Articles of the Constitution, as thus !;
No person held to service OF labor
in one State, under ihe laws thereof,
escaping into another" &c If they
were held under the common law, no
State law would be necessary, and no
such clause in the Constitution would
have been inserted. Again, if they
are property under the common law,
no special protection IS necessary
No man in the Territories asks to have
his horse protected, because his right
10 that species of property is every
where recocn'Zed."

A SAD AFFAIR AT NoRFeLK-A
FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS HIS
DAUGHrER.-A most hcartrending ac-
cident occurred at Norfolk, Va, on
Wednesday evening, afording anoth

she said this the blood hurst from her
nose and mouth she fell forward and
instantly expired. The pistol had
been charged with two large buck
shot, both of which had entered her
right breast and perforated her right

the internal hemorrhage, produced
almost instant death. nrs. Gait and
Bright were almost instantly called,
and reached the scene of casualty in
very short time, but too late the
little girl had breathed her last, and
a worthy family were overwhelmed
