The Whole North
Abolitionized!!
SambO Promoted

From the papers this morning
"wednesday we learn that the
woody heads have carried the day,
and National Democracy and ma
tional parties have fallen before a
sectional Abolition party, like a
frost before n September sun.
Democrats we are beaten, and
that too by a sectional party, a
party whose only aim is to place
the negro upon a level with the
white man. Who is to blame for
this result? We answer, those
traitors to the Democracy headed
by Yancy, Breckenridge, Lanes Co.
We say without hesitancy that
there will be a greater smash up,
among the Black Republicans, than
there is now in the Democratic
ranks. Lincolns Administration
will be the cause of smashing the
party. More anon.

An Extraordinary Snake Story.

The Claiborne (La.) Banner, or
one of its correspondents, is re-
sponsible for the following:
About the year 1929 one E. Bar
ker moved to Bayou Kisatchie in
the Southern portion of Natchi-
toches Parish. During his travel
there had been a quantity of rain,
which made it necessary that every
thing should be summed. One of
the feather beds had, by accident,
a hole torn in it about an inch
square. This hole was patched
while it lay on a brush heap sun
ming. No long afterward the
sleepers on this bed were troubled
with dreams of snakes, and often
its occupants actually believed a
snake was in bed with them, and
would bounce out of bed in great
alarm, but would return after a Wig
orous but unfruitful search. Two
years after Barker came to Kis-
athic, the eldest daughter was mar.
ried to j. w. Brown, and took
this bed home with her; yet its
sleepers continued to be troubled
with visions of snakes, and an oc-
casional search was instituted for
the intruder. Four wears after this
marriage Barker visited his daugh-
ter, and was put upon this bed.
About ten o'clock he was heard
calling for his son-in-law, "John
John! come here quick! I say, a
snake in my bed" Lights were
had, and though every nook and
corner was searched no snake was
found. All retired again, but were
soon to be startled by the old mans
excited cries for help and lights, as
if he was holding something with
all his strength. John went to
him, thinking hG had nightmare:

but, to his surprise, found him
wide awake and holding something
under the covering with all his
might. After searching under the
covering, it was found to be q snake
on the inside of the tick among the
feathers. 1t was pulled out and
found to be quite strong and active,
and was about seven feet in length.
Now the question is for naturalists
to solve, how did this snake sub.

The Next Legislature,

We find, upon looking over the
vote for Member of the Board of
Public Works in Ohio this fall, that
if a State Legislature had been
elected, the Democrats would have
chosen ffty-two members of the
House to the Republicans fifty
two, and that the Democrats would
have had sixteen State Senators to
tho Republicans nineteen. This
indicate that Mr.. Wade will have
liberty to leave the United States
Senate in 1851, and that a Demo-
crat will take his place. We have
no doubt that the Democrats will
have the next Legislature by a ma
iority of two-thirds.

Just as we Predicted.

IT'S true. We have the best of
authority for saying that almost
the entire Boiling crew in this
county from the regular Democrat
ic party, voted the Black Republi-
can ticket last Tuesday. One man
in particular now boasts Of having
voted for Lincoln. We have often
said that these pretended Breckin-
ridge men, were wolves in Sleeps
clothing. The only reason, VIC
presume, that these fellows voted
for Lincoln is that they wished to
defeat Douglas.
These would be Democrats have
taken this plan of getting into the
Black Republican ranks, and they
believed in the saying that a "pool
excuse was better than none.' we
are down on all such men. We
like for a man to come out boldly
and say who he is for, and not &c
about pretending to be for one MAJ
and at the same time vote for all.
other.
Our motto at the start was to dc
nounce these traitors to our party
to have no utilization with them
believing all the time, that they
were in reality Black Republicans
All we have to say to our friends
is to watch in the future and see i
we are not right in our predictions
The last one of them will hereaf
ter vote the woody ticket.

Seed Corn.

If our farmers want seed corn,
which will be certain to grow next
season, they should select the
largest and finest ears they can find
in their fields, and strip the husks
down to the butt Of the cob, and
by these hang them up in a dry
niry place. If they have corr that
was planted late, and the ears not
yet ripe, they are far better for
seed corn, than those which are al
lowed to ripen on the stalk. Pull
the cars, and treat them in the
same manner as you do the first.
One trial will convince any man.
that corn which is pulled when in
full roasting ear, will grow much
more certainly than that which il
allowed to remain on the stalk un'

The Van Buren(Arkansas) Press
contains q lengthy account of the
dreadful tragedy which occurred III
that place on the 18th ultimo, pre-
viously announced by telegraph
We condense the following: from a
description by an eye witness {:
1t was muster day, and two
brothers, named Benjamin and ST.
las Edwards, having an old grudge
against a family by the name of
Covington, sought a quarrel with
one of the latter, Jackson Coving-
ton. Benjamin Edwards, after n
few words, drew o gun, shot him,
and then Knocked him in the head
with the weapon. While this was
going on Silas Edwards stabbed
Covington's son (whoran up to pro-
tcct his father,) killing him almost
instantly-the murderer afterwards
plunged his knife into the oldman's
body several times. This brave
deed accomplished, he next came
in contact with Rufus C%ovington,
brother of Jackson, whom he also
stabbed and killed. The two broth
ers having glutted their vengeance,
endeavored to escape, but were pur-
sued and lodged in Jail. An un-
successful attempt was made by the
excited populace to take them from
the officers, and hang them, with
out trial. On the following Tues
day the two Edwards, after under
going AL examination, were re-
manded, and a guard of twenty
five men started with them to the
Jail but when near the Prison, two
brothers of the murdered men arm
ed with guns, commanded the
guard to step aside, which they did
when the younger Edwards was
shot in the body and arm, and the
other through the thigh and artai
but neither mortallv.
