of his victims. 1t is not in the power of hui
man governments, of courts, legislatures, or
DEGREES of despots, or of nations, statesmen,
or casuists, or all these together, to annhi-
late or, to the least degree extenuate the
criminality and guilt of known evil doing !;
otherwise the murderers of Christ would
have been perfectly innocent, as they doubt
less would have been, in the judgment of the
democratic party of the present day, and
weighed in the balances used by base apollo
gists tor shareholders. We mean BY this that
| the preparation of the evil of slavery must
always be and ever is a crime of deepest die,
Notwithstanding the circumstances of the
case and all the shameless apologies often
made for it, which, in general certainly would
appear better, were they urged in behalf of
murderers. -al lF f1 att 18t r 3af
There stands the damning wrong, its I'M
paralleled enormity raising its impiously de.
formed crest even in defiance of heaven, and
entrenched in depravity deep as the lowest
hell But touch it with one of vour fingers
by way of support and countenance, and the
awful plague spot is upon you, you have be-
come impregnated with guilt to your Utmost
vitals, and nothing but the deep waters of
regeneration and divine absolution can re-
meVe from you the offensive moral odor of
the fire and birthstone proceeding from the
pit. Many amongst US bear this plague spot,
this deep depravity and sulphurous odor con
stantly about with them, to the continued
and great offence of the good of both earth
and heaven. -
| There too stands the crinsoned, bloody,
God'defying and humanity crushing moral
monster, who daily, hourly and momentarily,
with gusto and greediness commits SO awful
q sin possessing what is called conscience,
and an intellect to knoao that it is SO evil,
that, for htnsse!t, he certainly would choose
strangling and death, rather than endure it
for a month. a5-aa.- . ... e--rE
Is moi all this enough to render the man
guilty, abominable and accursed beyond hui
man expression or idea, and beyond the ex.
tenuating power of mere human example,
custom or law I only lust, ambition, lazl-
ness, cupidity and love of cruelty, the very
worst elements of humanity, make men hold
slaves, and can any one believe that such
springs of action do not involve the lowest
depths of turpitude? @ ST.. ........ ....
With the infinite wrong of American slave
ry before our eyes, and the democratic party
as the only political organization by which
the enormity is justified and upheld, how can
it be otherwise than that every intelligent
Northern democrat is guilty of the horrid
crime of aiding and abeting Shareholders p
By what kind of Douglas dodge, or legerde-
main any one can justify such party we do
not profess to understand farther than that it
is and must be, such q method as all great
sinners and their abetors use to excuse them
selves. ss.-.- 49,. ....

Important Decisions.

On Tuesday last, the Supreme Court of
this State decided batch of additional Farm
Mortgage cases, entirely settling, so far as
they are concerned, the question of fraud by
which the farmers were induced to give the
mortgages. 1t will be remembered that the
question of fraud did not enter into the case
of Clark Us. Harrington, decided some three
weeks ago. sS-f.f'+1 fs.'t
The court holds, in the cases just disposed
OF, that the mortgages are good, and that the
question of frapd cannot he raised as against
innocent persons not previously connected
with the contracts. The only remedy the
Mortgagors have is against the company to
whom the Mortgages were given, and not
against their present owners. ..--sE
eT Pump Carpenter, of the Madison
Patriot, and Ca'kins of the Argus, are trying
hard to settle the question of each others or,
thodoxy in the Democratic faith 1t is diff
icut matter to tell how they are coming out,
though We think Calkins has the inside track
and appears the more consistent of the two.
Every body knows that Carpenter has whisk.
ed about terribly of late years, boiling the
Democratic ticket whenever it was not made
to his particular liking. 1t seems to US rath-
er an immodest move in him to prate now
about others flying the Douglas track, de-
nouncing them as boilers, when in fact
Breckenridge was just as fairly and regular.
ly nominated as Douglas, and both are rum
ming on platforms nearly identical in terms,
while they are precisely the same in spirit.
But we Republicans are not expected to al
ways be able to comprehend the mysterious
ways of the Democracy. Many of them are
certainly ast.fnding out" aaa< sea

A BRAVE BoY.-A little boy in Holland
was returning one night from village to
which he had been sent by his father on an
errand, when he noticed the water trlcklng
through marrow opening in the dyke. lie
stopped and thought what the consequences
would be if the hole was not closed. He knew,
for he had often heard his father tell the sad
disasters which happened from such small
beginnings, how, in few hours, the opening
would become bigger and bigger and let in
the mighty mass of waters pressing on the
dyke, until the whole defence being washed
away, the rolling, dashing. angry waters
would sweep on TO the next village, destroy
ing life and property and everything in rs
way. Should he run home and alarm the
villagers, it would be dark before they could
arrive, and the hole might even then be 50
large as to defy all attempts to close 1T
Prompted by these thoughts he seated
himself on the banks Of the canal, stop
ped the opening with his hand, and pa
tently waited the approach OF some villag-
er But no one came Hour after hour
rolled slowly By, yet there sat the hero
ic boy, in cold and darkness, shiyering, wet
and tired. but stoutly pressing his hands
against the dangerous breach. All night
he stayed at his post. At last the morning
broke. \ clergyman walking up the canal,
heard groan and looked around to see
where it came from. why are you there,
my child?" he asked, seeing the boy, and
surprised at his strange position: i m
keeping back the water, sir, and saving the
village from being drowned" answered the
child, with lips 50 benumbed with cold that
he could scarcely speak. The astonished
minister relieved the boy. The dyke was
closed, and the danger which threatened hun
lid. nf liypa was nrpYRnted
