The New York Mob q Democratic
Outbreak
(From the Mobile Tribune. ]

The news this morning of the riot in New
York will attract the readers attention. II
is only specific in three things, namely: it
originated in opposition to the draft it
res lifted in limited loss Of life aud prop
orty; and as We infer. was checked y as
surances from Gov. Seymour that the Gov.
ernment would remove the cause Of the
discomfort.
simultaneously there was similar riot
in Hartford, Connecticut. Whether it was
strong enough to force. concessions, as in
New York, is not stated.
These riots are Tie result Of the doctrine
tauaM of late by the Democratic party
,cliicl.. IN Ne,o York city has strength enough
to dety tue Government. In the rural dis
tricts it has no organizations which give il
confidence. 1t is, therefore, we imagine
only local disturbances, amounting IL
nothing SO far as che power at Washington
is concerned.
Whatever may be tho result, it will be o.
no benefit to us at present. 1t is, however
small degree OF satisfaction to know thai
there is not d perfectly dead sea of acquies
cence. at the North in the miserable tyrann,

The eleventh section covers the whole
ground Of the twelfth. To say that persons
had not tho right to hold slaves in Kansas
would be statement calculated to promote
disorderly disaifection among the slaves
there.
Mr.. PagH, it seems from what the Ga
zette says, had no objection to this sec
ton, which required not less than fve years
imprisonment and hard labor for what would
or should be less Objectionable to the slave
holder than what is made criminal by tho
twelfth section.
Mr.. Pugh tells us that 'wherever slavery
exists as an institution laws Of that charac

wherever slavery exists there can 10 no free
dom of speech, or freedom Of the press
rights Guaranteed to us by our Constitution
and of which Mr.. Pugh has lately become
the especial advocate.
But let us hear Mr.. Pugh On this free
dom Of speech and Of the press little fur
thef. On the page above cited he says:
Amy man, anywhere in the United
States, who publishes or circulates book,

its horrors of bloodshed and rapine, an as

our State constitutions, famely, that no cit
izen shall be subject to censorship before

of his privilege, detrimental to the public

Such are his views as b nien who talk
against slavery. He and'his party friend,
have very different views about men VIII;
talk in favor of this rebellion, and agains
our own Government. The Irish advocate
MIR. Phillips, said of the bigot that he "hae

Mr.. Pugh and the Kansas Slave Code

Mr.. Pugh and the Kansas Slave Code
EDITOR CHRONICLE: see an article in
the St. Clairsville Gazette m regard to Mr..
Pugh and the criminal code of Kansas, pass
ed by what was called the ''law and order
party" Of Kansas. Territory. The Gazette
publishes the 18th section of that code, and
states that the remark of Mr.. Pugh, to
which exception is taken, had reference to
section II, and not section r. On referring
to the Appendix to the Congressional Globe
for l855-'56 page 6l0, l find it is as stated
by the Gazette. How far this affects your
statement leave for others, but l ask you
to publish that section H. so that the read
er may see how much the Gazette will gain
for his candidate by this statement. Here
is section IL:
"If any person print, write, introduce
into, publish, or circulate, Or cause to be
brought into, printed, written, published,
or circulated, or shall knowingly aid or as
sist in bringing into, printing, publishing,
or circulating within this Territory, any
book, paper, pamphlets magazine, handbill
or circular, containing any statements. ar
guments, opinions, sentiments, doctrines
advice, or innuendo, calculated to promote
d disorderly, dangerous, or rebelious disaf
fection among the slaves in this Territory
or to induce such slaves to escape from thu
service of their matters or to resist thei
authority, he shall be guilty of felony anC
be punished by Imprisonment and hard la
Dor for term not less thar five years.
The Gazette says this section "providet
for the punishment of those who incitet
slaves to rebellion" Is that true2 Not
word Of it. Mr.. Pugh, on the page refer
red to, made different, but equally errone
ous statement Of the provisions of that sec
ton IL. He represented it as an act t
punish man for attempting t
promote sefvile insurrectiou. .l
Now, any one will see by looking at tn
above copy of that section that il is a YER
different thing from what it is representa-
to be by Mr.. Pugh and the Gazette =
Neither the word attempting, or melting
nor any ether word Of similar import, is il
the section. Nothing like that. That sec
ton forbids any person from taking int
Kansas "any book" containing any state
ments, arguments, opinions, sentiments
doctrines, advice or iunuendo calculated t
promote disorderly" ''disafection amon
the slaves i'm that Territory. This make
it crime to take such book into the Terr
tory, though the book may never be read
and never within fifty miles OF any slave.- :

If ever day of reckoning comes for the

One of the most recent cases of the kind
which has come To our knowledge, is that
of lady who has Just arrived IN this city
from Savannah. Her husband, who was a
gentleman in good circumstances there, was

persecution. Being unable to sell her pro-

A Noble Letter from q Noble Man.
One Of the bravest aud noblest men who
has gone from this county into the Union
army is Capt. AMOS GLOVER, of Company
4, 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Capt.
Glover has been in the army since the be-
ginning of the war, and has led his gallant
company through two of the greatest bat
ties Of modern times-Shiloh and Stone
River. During the recent severe skirmish
Ut Liberty Gap his company suffered more

This is part of one hundred dollars
which l have set apart as fund for the
benefit OF the wives and little ones, and the
widowed mothers and orphaned brothers
and sisters Of our brave common soldiers.
Four of my brave fellows fell in the battle
before this place, CALAMITY doing their duty,
each leaving either a wife and little ones or
q widowed mother and young brothers and
sisters dependent upon him for support, and
l know Of no more worthy objects upon
whom to confer this fund. 1t is but poor
consolation for the loss Of so brave boy,
for he was brave to fault, he scarcely
knew what it was to fear danger. The
brothers and sisters, il needs be, Of such a
boy cannot but be brave and generous, and
would respond to their U0untty's call as She
did. You will therefore please accept this
small amount for them and yourself, not as
charity. but as poor testimonial of the
merit of the son and brother, and the esti.
nation in which held him.
This is fund which have specially SET
apart for such purposes, and is my way oi
expending that which fear too many fol

cause for and in which your brave boy laid
down his life, expend in intoxicating drinks
You will, therefore, very much obige MT
by accepting this without hesitation.
