The Breckenridge Democrats Of Detroit got
up row on Tuesday evening, on the OCCASION
Of the holding of a war meeting. These se-
ceesioniets interrupted tbs meeting With: all
manner Of noises, and finally fell upon Capt.
E. B. Ward. The Advertiser says: -
These wretchea seemed to have particular
spi,e against C.pt. E. B. Ward. and manifest

At the c1us= Of the meeting they made rush
for the captain, with the avowed intention of
killing him. and it was only by the almost su-

Of March last, the greater portion Of Us did
not, and We will briefly state the prominent
REASONS which influenced our action.
In the first place, 1t proposed radical
change of our social system, and vas hurried
through both Houses with undue haste, With
out reas sonab1e time for consideration and de-
bate, and with no time at ali for consultation
with our constituents, whose interests It deep-
II involved. It seemed like an Interference
BY this government with Rquestion which Pc
culiar]Y aud exclusively belonged to OUT
Respective States, On which they had not
sought advice or solicited aid. Many Of Us
doubted the constitutional power Of this gov
ernment to make appropriations Of money for
the object designated, and al OF rs thought
our finances we're In no condition to bear the
immense outlay which its adoption and faith
ful execution would impose upon the national
treasury, # we pause but moment to thiok
Of the debt it's acceptance would have entatled
We are appalled, By its magnitude. The pro-
position was addressed to all the States, and
embraced the whole number Of elaves- AZ
cotdIng to the census Of 1860, there Were then
very nearly 4,000, 900 slaves in the country !;
from natural increase, they exceed that number
now. At even the low average Of $500, the
price fixed by the emancipation act for the
elaves Of this district,aud greatly below their
real worth, their ys1ue rnns up to the enormous
SUN Of twelve hundred millions Of dollars !;
ardf to that We add the cost Of degorsal q
and colonizator, at one hundred dollars elch
zach which IL but - fraction more than is actu-
silly paid By tie MarTlaud Coloni2 ion Societ-s
We have four hundred millions more
we were not willing to Impose tax on on
people sufficient to pay the interest On thai
cum, In addition to the vast and daily lncreas
ing debt already fixed upon them BY the exi
gencies Of the war; and, If We had been Will
ing, the country could not bear it; Stated in
this form the proposition Is nothing less thar
the deportation from the country Of BfXteeE
hundred million dollars worth Of producing
labor and tie substitution in its place Of al
interest-bearing debt Of the same amount!

How PRoyDENcE PATS V0LUNTEERs.-The
city Of Providence deals generously With her
volunteer soldiers. She offers bounty Of
500 to each man required for her quota who
shall enlist within thirty days. The mode Of
payment is judicious. The recruit receives
twenty-five dollars when he passes the surgi-
cal examination and is sworn according to
Law; fifteen more when bis company is mas-
tered into service, and the remaining sixty are
to be paid in quarterly ins1allments Of fifteen
dollars each to his family in his absence, if he
has family. or otherwise, according to his
written order.

nation By Congress Of the nationality Of
liberty in deereeing, that all over the fed
cral donain, the national power is pledged
to the cause Of universal and enduring free
dom that slavery cannot defle the national
territory with its whitening corruption, and
that the vast unoccupied domain Of the M
ton is henceforth reserved only for free
men and free institutions. We ask what
true American, what genuine friend Of re-
publican liberty, can regard with other
feeling than pride and honor, the Congress,
that has thus consecrated the national Do
main to the blessings Of liberty, justice and
equal rights?
Then what American, what inhabitant Of
our great West can look with in difference
upon the sonsummation Of an enterprise
for which, during long years, the minds of
intelligent and patriotic men have toiled
| with almost despairing hopes-the PACIFIC
RAILROAD. Had the present Congress
achieved no more than to secure the execu-
ton Of this grand design-so important to
our country, and yet more momentous for
the interests Of mankind--is would wear
imperishable honor. -
Then, we ask, when have the interests
peculiar to the Northwest found, in any
Congress, more able and powerful 7indi-
cation, than in the present? The mastery
reports Of our representative from this Dis,
trict, united with the unques: :ioned and sue
cesstul valor Of our Western armies during
the military movements Of the past year,
have for the first time invoked the atten.
ton Of the nation, to the long neglected
claims Of this hourishing section Of the re-
public, where growth in population, navi
cation, products, and political Importance
would, in any other country, have secured
the prompt and proud support which il
meritcd. Dumb be the lips, especially il
the West, that will presume to speak dis
paragingly Of Congress which has accom-
plished the results to which we have 81
briefly and inadequately referred.
The second session Of the Thirty -Seventl
Congress is now matter Of history. It ha
met and adjourned in the most eventfu
period of OUT nation. We ask our country
men to judge it by no ephemera1 test L

STERLING, III, July 1s, 1869.
Again, for the third time in less than two
months, has our city been visited by terrible
storm, doing great dammage.
About six O'Clock last evening heavy
thunder shower came up, aud with it ter
1itic wind, which took part Of the roof from
the stone mill, scattered corn-cribs about and
took part of the east wall down Of the brick
store occupied BY D. Richards as hardware
store. In the upper end Of the! city it tore
down an unfinished br1ck store three stories
high, completely demolishing it. 1t has
nearly destroyed the shade trees in our city,
EVERYTHING movable Waa on a bender, aud
for time the people were badly frightened
for it had every evidence Of being 5 terrible
tornado.
The railroad track is washed away above
the city, and no trains can pass this morning
We begin to think that this is q bad locality
or that the elements have EpeciA grudg'

conFulses our land is not only war Of
ideas, but it develops the strange and sad
anomaly Of divided North warning with
O united South enthusiasm and unity for
slavery and its preservation-comparadye
coldness and division in the maintenance
