A Brutal Murder.
THE MURDERER AT LARGE.

On Friday afternoon last Alexander
Wilson murdered Samuel Pierson, at, or
near the residence of Mr.. Lamadee, in
Greene Township, in this County. They
wore both residents of that Township
The circumstances connected with this af-
fair. as near as we can ascertain, are as fol-
lows: Some years ago Wilson married a
daughter of Mr.. Pierson, but owing to his
almost habitual brutal treatment she had
left him and refused to live with him. and
last spring she obtained divorce from
him. Wilson has since that time made
repeated threats to kill both her and her
father, and other members of the family.
On Friday last she and her father went
to the residence of Mr.. Lamadee in a wag-
On. Wilson following with large knife
and rifle. As Mr.. Pierscn got out of the
wagon and was hitching his horses, Will
son came up and struck him repeatedly
with the barrel of his rifle. breaking his
arm. breaking and smashing his skull hor-
ribly, and knocking him senseless beneath
his horses feet This was done in the
presence of Mrs. Wilson. (Pierson's daugh-
ter, but before alarm could be given and
assistance secured, Wilson made his escape
into the woods. Dir. Pierson, all the time
senscless and without motion. fingered till
3 o'clock the next day. when he expired.
Mr.. Pierson was unarmed and defcnceless,
and we are told he was feeble in strength
owing to disease and old age. 1t wss as
unprovoked. cold-biooded and atrocious a
murder as was ever recorded, and so excl
ted and incensed were the citizens that if
they had caught Wilson he would likely
have been made to pay the penalty Of his
crime on the spot. He has always been
considered bad man and a reckless and

Voting for Supplies.

Some of the more reckless journals of
the Dem ocratic party have made the charge
that MIR. Lincoln. while in Congress, voted
against supplies for the American troops
in the Mexican war. This charge Mr..
Lincoln promptly refuted in his great cam
paign with Douglas, and forced the Little
Giant to admit that it was false. In the
joint debate at Alton, Oct. r5, 1885,
page 236 of the Debatcs--Mr. Douglas
said:-
IL never charged him with voting a.
gainst the supplies in my life. because j
knew he was not in Congress when they
were voted. The war was commenced on
the 18th of May, 1916, and on that day
we appropriated in Congress ten millions
of dollars and fifty thousand men to prose-
cute it. During the same session we ap-
propriated more money and more men, so
that by the time Mr.. Lincoln entered Con-
gress, we had enough men and enough
money to carry on the war, and had no oc-
casion to vote for any more"

but calls them always persons, not things
persons. not slaves-persons. not chat
Hes-is proof that the Constitution, fairly
interpreted, puts the burthen of proof and
the burthen of establishing slavery on the
institution itself. A law of State is nee
essary before the Constitution will recog
nize "any person owing scrvicc'-slavo
service-in any locality.
Now the Democracy make great parade
of the Constitution. And the Constitution
clearly anil undeniably proves them to be
false interpreters when they hold that it
carries slavery into the Territories. They
may mean right, but something has per-
verted their minds. for they are wrong in
constitutional law, wrong in morals, and
wrong in policy. And the quicker the
party dies, standing on these grounds, the
better for the county.--Ind. Jour.

The Eicction---A Glorious RepsbIican
Triumph.


Triumph.
The most severely contested of elections
has resulted in the most decisive of victo-
ries for the Free Democracy of st. Louis
The campaign has no parallel in rhe his:o-
ry of our politics. The returns show the
largest vote ever polled in the county. and
the result is the election OF Frank Blair and
our whole ticket by about fourteen hun
dred majority. Two years ago the vote oil
the county was %. 1856; this time it is six
thousand more. Each party was success
full in bringing out its whole strength. not
withstanding the falling off in the Union
vote from the American vote two years ago
That falling off is accounted for by cor
responding increase in the Dem ocratic vote
We have also had to contend against the
Douglas and Breckinridge factions com.
bined. each of which supported Barrett.
1t is true we have lost the short term for
Congress. but how could it be otherwise
when the great body of the Union party
intervened in favor of Barrett? The Union
Convention refused to make q nomination
ior that term. in order to maintain-so it
was sa'd-the neutrality of the party

the Government placed it. His success is
the confinement of slavery to those who
want it, His defeat, no matter by what
faction of the slavery league, is the eleva-

We content ourselves with stating the fact.
After such victory as we have won, mag,
nanimity is becoming. Besides we know
the Union men who voted for Barrett are
thoroughly ashamed of themselves, and if
the election were to be held over again,
that Rlair would get three thousand ma
jority for the short term. The News, the
organ of the party. tells some wholesome
truths. end administers just rcbuke to
the members of that party who voted for
Barret. We quote the following from that
paper:
From the returns it appears that, in the
race for the vacancy in Congress. in which
the Union men had no candidate, about
9. 400 of them voted for Dick Barrett and
about 900 for Frank Blair. We confess
that this interference in behalf of Barrett is
shameful and without any sort Of apology;
and is most ungrateful. considered in view
of the vote thrown by Blair's friends for
Judge Orr"
Our victory has been won without 4
trade or coalition of any kind. 1t is q
straight out Republican triumph. True,
we gave or votes as general thing to the
Union State ticket, bat this we did from
high motives of public duty. and without
asking or receiving any return. St. Louis
is. therefore Republican city. We had
to withstand the unpleasant sentiment oc-
casioned by tho Impending Crisis" o
work which, now that election is over, we
will say that we do not endorse.
The contest has been fought by the Re-
publicans on the Chicago Platform and on
the emancipation principle. The one was
our National and the other our State plat
form, throughout the campaign. We took
no backward step. We lowered not the
flag. On the contrary. it was advanced
higher, and further forward than ever be-
FORE We even refused to disclaim any
position, however extreme, on the slavery
question. which the enemy attributed to
us. We acted uniformly on the offensive
never on the defensive. The apologettic
tone could not be discovered in anything
said or written On the part of the Republi-
can party. We dared to invite the most
radical opponents of our doctrines from a.
broad, and to publish their speeches in the
very storm and whirlwind of the canvass.
If we erred at all, We erred on the side
of boldness.
1t is therefore with feeling of just pride,
that we send this message, greeting to our
Republican brethren throughout the coun-
try. We have fought and won the Mon
tebello Of the Presidential campaign. We
even give assurance that St. Louis county
will go for Lincoln and Hamlin in Novem-
Der by two thousand majority. and that
the two candidates viii receive at least
thirty five thousand votes in Missouri
We have satisfied both ourselves and the
pro-slavery party that the Free Labor
cause can never be crushed out in this
State. The struggle for mere footing is
closed. and the redemption Of the State is
now but question of time. st. Louis is
indeed the Gibraltar--the impregnable
fortress Of freedom--in the slave States.--

REPUBLICANS, GOOD CHEER.

The democracy of Sandusky county have
nothing to boast over in the State canvass
now closed. With a majority of $40 last
fall, and an increased vote of about 500,
with $50 newly naturalized electors, they
have only succeeded in electing their ticket
by 857 majority. They confdentially re-
lied upon a majority Of 500 in the county.
The majority for Judge Bell is only 1877.
We congratulate the Republicans of San
dusky county on the manner in which they
have conducted the canvass, and hope they
will be inspired with new courage to keep
on the work until the Presidential con-
flict is decided. We could name many who
have worked untiriugly for this object, but
thisis unnecessary. No Republican that we
know of has been laggard. The Central
Committee, H. Everett, Chairman, have
been hard workers, and deserve much
credit
Now, Republicans up and at them once
more. Sandusky county ought to give a
majority for Abe Lincoln. On the 9th oi
November the majorities in Ohio, Pensyl
vania and Indiana, for Lincoln and Hamlin
will not be less than 175,OOO.

little dreaming that the seeds of death are

and yet, carless of themselves as they are, if

The Pennsylvanian says it is authorized
to state on undoubted authority, that "the
venerable and distinguished Chief Justice
of the Supreme Bench of the United States,
who pronunced the opinion in the Dred
Scott case, denounces Mr.. Douglas Squat
ter Sovereignty as the worst heresy. The
Chief Justice will support Breckinridge and
Lane"
As Mr.. Douglas has repeatedly avowed
his respect for and candid acquiescence in
Judge Taney's Dred Scott opinion, and all
kindred opinions which that venerable jurist
may hereafter put forth, this seems to us
rather an unhandsome return for the Little
Giants civilities. We presume, however,
that the real opinion entertained by Doug
las of Taney's monstrous judgment does
not differ essentially from Taney's opinion
of Squatter Sovereignty.-N Y Tribune.

German and Irish voted the Republican

Germans have worked with zeal and earn
estness for the principles of freedom in all
respects, as are declared 10 the Republican
platform. Much credit is due to them for
the victory we came near achieving, even in
Sandusky county. An element is now at
work which will thoroughly revolutionize
the politics of this section. The people are
inquiriug after light and information, and
will not much longer be satisfied with the
deception which has been practiced on
them by the leaders Of the false democracy

Secession is so bred in the bone of the

that it will not down even at the bidding Of

we lind at Indianapolis, that Mr. Johnson,
in his illusions to slavery and the probable

The Proof.

The Democratic papers have been deny
ing the genuineness of the following extract
from speech of Mr.. Douglas in Congress
"The father may bind his son Caring his
minority, but the moment he attains his
majority, the fetters are severed, and he is
free to regulate his own conduct So with
the Territories; they are subject to the
jurisdiction and control of Congress during
their infancy-their minority; but when
they attain their majority and obtain ad-
mission into the Union, they are free from
all restrictions, except such as the Constitu-
ton of the United States has imposed upon
each and all of the States"
The passage will be found in Mr.. Doug
las speech of February 28d, ls45, on the
bills for the admission of Florida and Iowa
into the Union, as printed in the fourteenth
volume of the Congressional Globe, p. 2s4.
