GREE NIssoURI"-How PREACHERS ARE
TREATED IN THAT STArE.-The Rev. Mr..
Price was in our Office, day or two since,
carrying on his face and head the evidence
OF the injuries he received at the hands of
the brutal mob. From him we learn that,
on Friday night, the 18th ultimo, twelve
men, armed with shot-guns and pistols,
came to his house about O'Clock, and,
without allowing him to fully dress, took
him forcibly to the edge Of the brush,
about one hundred yards from the house,
tearing his vest and shirt of, and then
beat him over his head and on his right
side with pistols, and then getting large
two-pronGed brush, beat him with this till
they were satisfied; after which they order
cd him to leave the neighborhood in two
days, which he did as soon as he was able.
Mr. Price has sold his farm in that neigh
borhood. and has moved into this County.
Mr. Prices only offence is that, being q
Christian minister, he has endeavored to
fulfill his sacred functions to the letter.

The Herald to the President.

The New York Herald, of Wednes-
day, in leading editorial, gives the
following advice to the President:
Since the appalling tragedy where
by Andrew johnson became Pre-
sident Of the United States, we have
cordially supported him and his
Southern policy against the extreme
reconstruction programme of the
Northern radicals. From recent
events, however, South and North,
including the New Orleans massacre,
the Maine election and the Preside mt S
Western excursion, and from all the
passing indications OF Northern pub
lie opinion, we are satisfied that, in
opposing the constitutional amend
ment adopted by Congress, Mr.. John
son, in the approaching Northern
elections, will be defeated. In the
widening of his conflict with the
radicals to q conflict with Congress,
he has evidently been very unfortu-
nate, and, in tho further prosecution
of this contest, there is but u gloomy
prospect of his ultimate success.
AS man Of the people, therefore,
as q; believer in the doctrine of O
cheerful submission to the will of the
people, and, as sworn defender of
the Federal Constitution, President
Johnson, in our view of the present
crisis, has but one course to pursue.
1t is to take up the constitutional
amendment, now before the people
of the North, and push it through
all the still excluded Southern States
as rapidly rs possible, so that, during
the approaching last session of the
present Congress, those States may
be reinstated in both houses. In this
way, tllo Northern radicals and South
ern radicals may be speedily silenced
and put down, with the practical re-
storation Of the Union on a SOLID and
satisfactory constitutional foundation.
A little pressure upon the Governors
of the Southern States concerned,
like that which was applied in behalf
of the constitutional amendment
aboiishing slavery, will do the work
In regard to this new amendment, and
when done by Virginia, South Caro-
lima, or Texas, these States will surely
meet with the recognition and re-
admission into Congress accorded to
Tennessee

A disloyal radical sheet in Indian
apolis, shortly before the arrival of
President johnson in that city, init
mated that it would bear with re-
signation" any "dispensation of
Providence" that would remove Pre-
sident Johnson. These, says the
Albany Argus, are the men that
howl about the New Orleans riots.
They shoot white men in cold blood

derers to assassinate the President!

Political RIOT IN MIssoURI-BI.ooD-
sHED.-A st. Louis despatch says:
After the adjournment of the Platte
County I;adical Convention at Platte CITY,
Missouri, on Saturday, a drunken Union
soldier, named Dunnegan, made some
noise on the street. and .,ourished pistol
about, when Sheriff Ogden took his pistol

Marshall. with Il posse Of ten men, de-
mandcd the surrender Of Dunnesan. \
scutlle ensncd and pistols were freely

four men and the wounding Of eight or ten
others.
A number Of the delegates who had
started for home, hearing the firing, re-
turned to town, and were fired on, and
several of their horses killed under them.
Callahan is said to have fired twice at one
delegate who WAS lying under his wounded
horse, and was fired on i'll return and
killed.
The latest accounts say that several hun
lrcd armed rebels hold Platte City, and
had driven all the Union men ont of town,

excitement exists, and Gov. Fletcher has
been applied to for II force to put down the
mob

Sssy Morning, September 81. 1855
Electionecring--Irish Consistency.


Electfonecring--Irish Constituency.
We see it stated that delegation
OF Irish citizens waited upon Presi.
dent Johnson on Tuesday last. and
stated their grievances and their
wishes, saying that they had to
choose between the radicals and
their lifelong friends, the Democrats.
They wished some change in the
Cabinet, and denied that they had
ever eommittsa tseason against Eng
land. They asked for anew Minister
to England. In place Of Mr.. Adams,
and suggested that the Alabama
claims,be pressed-which. of course,
would be. an admirable means of in
volxilg this country il war with
Greaf Britain. They wound up by
declaring that there, were 75O, 600
Irish voters in this country, and
asked that this fact should be re-
membered in parcelling out the Offices
in the gift Of the Government.
We think the Fenian Brotherhood
has been most wofully misrepresented
in such an application as that mar
rated. We are glad to see that the
President replied sensibly. He felt,
he said, the force of their sugges-
tions, and avowed that he was strong
ly tinctured with sympathy for the
Irish, and would do all that could be
done for them.
And now for the consistency of all
this. These Irishmen, with their
75O, 900 votes. aver that they had not
committed treason against England.
Did not many of them swear, and
act upon the allegation, that the peo-
pie of the Southern States commit
ted treason against the Government,
because they took up arms in de-
fence, as they supposed, of their
constitutional rights. Their case is
precisely parallel, and little be-
yond, on the part of the South, at
this moment. Ireland is represented
IN the British Parliament-the South
ern States, paying their share of the
taxation, are denied representation
III the Parliament of this country
the Congress.
We wish all success to a people in
their struggles for liberty-we would
be glad to see Ireland free from the
'SBritish yoke" rs Irishmen are fain
to call the union of their country
with England; but, at the same time,
we cannot avoid noting that some of
the leading so-called Irish patriots
Shields, Meagher, Corcoran and
others-enlisted to put down q ere
bellion" of a people who desire to
have a Government of their own
framing. This is Irish consistency,
with vengeance.
The President did not commit linn >
self in the above interview and we are
glad he did not. He knows full we'll
himself to day, asthe great pacifcator
and restorer of the Union of these
States, that the people of Ireland,
politically speaking, are thousand
times better off than ara the people
of the oppressed and excluded States
of the South. The evils of the former
are for the most part sentimental and
imaginary, while those of the latter
are positive and real.
Consistency.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. : At the Congressional
Convention for the I'd District, held at Man
chester yesterday, Hon. E. Fl. Rollins of Con-
cord, present member of Congress from the
district, came forward, and after few felici-
tous remarks, moved that Gen. Aaron F. Ste
vens, of Nashua, be nominated by acclamation.
The motion was seconded by a friend of Jas
F. Briggs of Hillsboro', and favored by the
President. t
The motion prevailed unanimously, and
three cheers were given for the nominee and
three for the present member from the district.
Gen. Stevens accepted the nomination in an
able speech. Great enthusiasm and perfect
harmony prevailed.
From the 1st District Convention, which
met yesterday at Dover, we have no further
intelligence than that the Convention was
largely attended, that Hon Charles II. Bell, of
Exeter, was chosen President, and that an ad-
Journment was had to afternoon, when the
balloting would take place.. The telegraph

DEXTER AND NEWPORT RAILRoAD.-This is
an enterprise in which our city has large in
terest
The distance from Newport to Dexter is four
teen miles; the grade is easy, and the expense
OF constructing the road is, comparatively, very
small. The estimated cost of the road. exclu-
sive OF rolling stock, is less than $29OO0O. Res
ponsible parties stand ready to contract to build
the road at the above estimate The Maine
Central Railroad Company have agreed to fur
nlsh the rolling stock, and run the road, in
connection with their own, and pay $4,000 a
year as rent. The capital stock of the Dexter
& Newport Railroad Company is 100000. OF
this $4,000 has been subscribed in the vicinity.
1t is proposed that the towns of Dexter and
Corinna shall loan their credit to the amount
OF $15OOOO, leaving about $4,000 to be raised.
This sum, it is thought may be raised in
Portland. There is large amount of business
In and around Dexter, and our merchants are
interested to secure the trade. Bangor would
prefer road running directly from Piscata-
quis County to the Penobscot, and consequent.
ly cannot be expected to aid this enterprise
Bath is making strenuous exertions to direct
the trade Of the eastern and middle portions of
the State from Portland, and secure it to her
self The citizens of Portland will not be less
alive to their own interests. We understand
the matter will be presented to the Board Of
Trade, and trust it will receive the careful con-
sideration it merits,
