A correspondent of the Philadelphion

who was present Al Baltimore when Doug

his surprise at the great influence over the
minds OF the people which the Little Giant
exercises by the peculiar force Of his rheto-
rical powers. lie asserts that, during a
period of more than twenty years on the
stage, he never witnessed such a magical
effect of the voice of one man upon masses
composed Of such different elements"

PARALLEL TO SOME OF The SCRIPTURE
CAsEs.-Mrs. Alice W, of Clncln-

living in wedlock 81 years without children,
astonished her husband and friends, a few

The Conventions.

The Democratic Conventions which as
sembles to day have an important trust
reposed in them, the performance of which
can be welded for veal or woe Of the
Democracy of this County. Demogogues,
pipe layers, and those who carry caucuses,
conventions, and elections, by bribery, cor
ruption, and the use of the peoples money,
should be set aside, and new, honest, and
straight forward Democrats, take their
places. There are plenty in the County
who are able to fill them linen who
are good Democrats, and have never held
office-and the people expect clean ticket
from the Conventional ticket made up of
new and tried men. Such a ticket will
receive the appreciation of the Democrat
voters. Let the Convention act boldly,
without fear or favor to any man, and par
ticularly let no delegate cast his vote for
any person on account Of past tayors.
They are sent to represent the interests Of
their constituents-notth the wishes Of office
seekers. Above all, no traitor to Stephen
n. Douglas should be supported in a Dem
ocratic Convention.
These are our views. The Convention
must do and act without any reference to
them, but it will do no hurt for our Dom

TT The fact that Louis Napoleon has
issued decree allowing breadstutfs to be
imported free, even Of tonnage duties, proves
that France must buy our wheat largely
Her havest is bad, but not so bad as that
of England. France generally supplies
England with more or less wheat. This
year it looks as if France would not be
able to export any grain to England BY
inviting supplies from abroad thus early,
Louis Napoleon may have the tact to Sc
cure 50 large an importation from our
country, as to force down the price in
every department of France. He is an
adrolt Ruler and no doubt would like to
glut the French market with foreign
wheat, and thus ensure cheap bread to the
people for some months.

TERRIBLE TORNADo-THE AIR Full OF
FIRE BAns.-The town of Freushurg. in
Chautauqua county, n. Y. was visited by
a veritabIe tornado on the It'll inst. The
Buffalo Express says a singular singing
noise preceded the hurricane; those out of
doors compared its advance to the fierce
driving of SO many lumber wagons. The
lights in many houses were all at once ex-
tinguished without any visible cause
Several houses were unroofed, others were
moved from their foundations, and others
still were thrown down and demolished =
Trees were torn up by the roots and blown
about like feathers. The roof of the Meth.
odist Church was carried away.
The corn crop was ruined, the gardens
were laid waste, and innumerable fences
were blown down. Fortunately no one
was injured in The least The tornado
was not over thirty rods in width, and its
duration did not exceed half minute. 1t
is impossible TO estimate the damage
After the tornado, family noticed the
rain leaking down rather freely, took a
light and went up stairs and discovered
for the first time that the roof was gone.
SO sudden was the blow, and 50 noiselesslv
that they did not know that anything had
happened. A Swede woman, who was
caught out in the storm, lay down on the
ground and held fast to board fence,
while all sorts of missiles were flying
around her. She says the air was full of
fire balls. She was unininred. The state
ment in regard to balls of fire is indorsed
by various other persons.

-Sickening details of the late massacres
in Syria continue to come to hand. At
Hasbevia, out Of three thousand two hun
dred Christians, only fourteen hundred
were found remaining, nearly all women
and children. The corpses remained un-
buried. The Semi was full of them, and
in the upper rooms they were piled up in
heaps FIVE or six feet high.

No More Slave States"

This is one of the points made by Re
publicans, some of whom claim to stand by
the same principles as Washington, Jefer-
son and Jackson. Let US see;
Washington signed the bill for the ad
mission of Tennessee-a slave State
John Adams signed the bill for the adj
mission Of kentucky.
Jefferson purchased Louisiana.
Monroe signed the bills for The admis
sion Of Alabama, Mississippi aud Missouri.
Madison signed the bill for the admission
of Louisiana.
Jackson signed the bill for the admission
of Arkansas.
This list of Presidents comprises the
most lilustrlcus names among the fathers
Of this government, and they all signed
bills admitting Slave States.
They were inaccessible to the sectional
cry of " no more slave States"

Prairie du Chen.

On Saturday evening last, the Demo
Gratis and Republicans of Prairie du Chen
were announced to have meetings-the for
mer at Dousman's Hall, the latter at the
Court House. John Lawler would address
the former, r. Noble and Z. Odell the lat.
ter. The McGregorites of both parties were
invited, and Capt. SHERwIN of the ALBANIA
kee was authorized to land our folks on the
iowa side at the conclusion of the meeting.
Four of the Republicans and about 80 Of
the Democrats of McGregor went over
The Democrats had cannon and bonfire
near the Hall, and there was large crowd
not far off answering the cannon in cheers
for DOUGLAS. On retiring to the Hall, the
cannon in the mean time speaking b. F.
FAY was called to the chair, and VIM. MGR
rill, of the Courier, appointed Secretary.
Gen. Lawler "opened the BALI in tip-top
speech on the cause and the man; Judge
Potter, John I. Stoneman, A. j. Felt, and
Hon. D. Hammer followed, and for series
OF of-hand speeches we ncv,r heard such
appropriate ones before. The most furious
and enthusiastic cheering marked the graft
fication Of the 400 or 500 present, and the
meeting adjourned with shoN upon shout
for DOUGLAS! We never saw happier
family than attended that meeting. Gen
Dousman, Judge Brunson, II. Baldwin, Col
Thomas and many of the older citizens
were present and seemed as happy as boys.
At the close of the meeting, Mr.. Stoneman,
on the part of the McGregor delegation, in
vitcd our Wisconsin brothers to return our
visit on some carly OCCASION. e
The Republican meeting was reported to
us by several who went to visit it as num-
bering from so to 20 persons, and those
were as solemn as if Noble and Odcll were
preaching funeral sermon over Honest
Abe"

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest and cheapest protec-
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, state institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon,
ger Il matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec.
ticut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
Insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece-
