THE Constitution as it was, or the Com
stitution rs it is with the amendments" !"
1t will be seen that fundamental law
will not admit Of amendment. To take
away, add, or alter such law would de-
stroy its force. The Constitution was
framed on the selt.evident truth, that God
had given each person title to liberty
at his birth-a truth which could not be
alienated "A God given BIrth-right
No matter as to the features, or color OF
the skin, or poverty or riches, "a man il
man for a that" Every man who
comes with this endowment from his
creator, speakes the sentiment of his heart,
when he says with Patrick Henry and
the fathers of the republic, "give me liber-
ty or give me DEATH" Whoever attempts
to crush this spirit, commits a crime
against God and man. This universal
law cannot be limited or Amended-it is
a standard law, God is its author. That
part OF the Constitution OF the United
States, which conAicted with this divine
law, upon which it is founded, needs to
be amended, and further, il needs to be
expunged. The day is not far distant
when all the people, 1--WE, the people" will
demand that all the Offal and stencil Of
slavery be at once and forever cleaned
out, aud removed from the Constitution Of
the United States. This sacred instru-
ment has been too long polluted with the
stain of tyranny; let every section, every
jot and title of the spawn Of slavery be
utterly effaced. wiped out and drowned
in the slough of oblivion, then the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States will appear
in its true spirit and sublime simplicity.
Now it resembles, with pitiful alusiuns
to Indians and chattelS, wounded snake,
that drags it's slow length along. The
fundamental law which secures liberty to
the people, does not need any alteration,
1t does not admit Of an amendment, il
stands ont before the nations in all the
grandeur of Its simplicity. We love to
abide under its shades, to look at its wide
and beautiful range, TO admire and exalt
those men, who, having canght the spitit
| OF liberty, gave birth to an instrument
that has within itself the germ OF immor-
tality, an instrument that does away with
all base distinction, and inviting all man
kind OF every race 10 a common brother
hood of freemen. God hns indeed blessed
those men, and all of kindred spirit in
every age. Their graves are not all at
Yorktown, nor at Bunker Hill. nor at
Stone River nor Gettysburg. You may
find them all through our States, by our
river-banks, in our valleys and on our
hill.Hides, on many well-iought battle
field the word over. Then as We fondly
cherish the memory OF those men who
gave us the richest legacy, let us cleanse
the Constitution from the last and least
remains or illusions 10 slaves or inieri-
or races, and by 40 doing. sweep away
the necessity for the long list of amend
ments. Then tile watch.w0rd Of our po-
litical parties viii not be "ihe ConktinI-

Truly this must be the "of" year in
Kentucky. On Sunday morning last. Hon.
CAsAus NJ. CLAY, liIe-long Abolitionist,
shot and killed negro, named PERRY
WHITE, on his farm, situated SIX miles
from Richmond, Kentucky.
II fs not very many years since Mr..
CLAY was engaged IN making Abolition
speeches in his own native Kentucky. and
at time, Il was believed, that no 9th.
er man living would attempt auch n thing.
II was necessary, and became hiA common
practice, when going 10 make speech, 10
fortify himself with a bible and revolver,
the latter being his main reliance in en-.
forcing his rights as an American citizen,
aud we don't remember to have ever heard
OF any Of his meetings being broken up.
In 1915 he published an Abolition paper
in Kentucky, and Il was only when he
was confined to n sick bed, that mob
mustered up sufficient courage to take his
prcs' aud ship it from The State, with
warnings left for him not to restore II. In
lSl3 HoRAcE GHEELEY published book
containing Mr.. CLAY's writings and
speeches, dsfcn'ling his convictions on the
slavery question.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati En-.
qnirer gives the particulars OF the shooting,
which fully exhonerates Mr. CLAY.
WHITES mother had been employed by
Mr.. CLAY but a fewodays prior to the ca.
lamity he found that she had b.en robbng
him Of his silver plate, table cutlery, and
other voluables, and she was discharged.
Previous to thia, her son PERRY had been
ordered from the premises, Il being known
in the neighborhood that he was bold,
bad man, who lived principally by steal.
ing, and was regarded as desperate.
To Rvenge the dismissal Of his mother.
WHITE resolved TO kill Mr.. CLAY. and
a letter written by him containing
Threat to carry out his murderous purpose,
was shown to CLAY. Mr.. CLAY started ON
Sunday morning to negro meeting in
the neighborhood to employ another cook.
lie was OH horseback with small white
boy behind him. He had not gone far
when the boy discovered WHIrR hiding
behind horse in n pasture feld near by.
Knowing he had no business there, and
his motives, CLAY dismornted
drew his revolver, advanced to and or
dered WHITE to throw up his hands.
The negro obeycd, whom CLAY talked |
roughly to him and ordered him from
the premises, and told him that IL he
moved from his position before he ICLAY) |
got on his horse, he would kill him.
CLAY turned and started for his horse,
and ms soon as his back was turned the |
negro started for him. CLAY turned and |
fred two shots, both taking effect, one in
the neck and the other in the breast. |
WHITE fell dead on the spot. II WnIrH
was the thief and desperate represented
by The correspondent to the Eaquirer, the
means adopted 10 rid the community of
his presence was the surest, and therefore
the best.
The verdict Of the Coroner's Jury will
be found in the dispatches on the FIRST
page.

1t would be in the nature OF = Joke on
old man Hollenbeek and the Journal man,
who are leading the opposition TO Earl
Merry, il Earl would happen TO run ahend
of his ticket in Psrrysburg township
SeHfiRel.
II would be a huge joke. And yet, to
those who know MERRY's character, and
that OF the men he has employed here to
support him, snch joke would not be
greatly surprising. Ills most active sup
porter in this place is the same man who,
three years ago, being Judge Of election,
assisted in Withdrawing one hundred Re-
publican tickets from the box aud subsli-
tuting like number of Democratic tickets,
ihu' aiding in the defeat Of A. NJ. PRATr
for Congress. The same man Was one of
ihe judges Of election twl years ago, when
she big vote was cast here, over which
EvERs has wept so many virtuous tears.
The same man, though protesting to be n
Republican, received last year, from
FRANK HrRD, one hundred dollars 10

against Gen. Cox, that he had before M ahe

by the extreme vigilance Of Mr.. Cox's
friends. This same man I've speak adVis-

BowLrNo UREEN, Sept. 10. 1877.

BowLrNo GREEN, Sept 10, 1877.
Ed. BEK;--Will you give publication to
the following reasons why Republican
can not support Mr., Merry;
l. Because he has wrnnged many people
OF Wood county by hnnting up defects in
the titles to their lands, and by buying up
stale claims against them, aud by suing or
threatening 10 He them, has compelled
them to pay him large sums Of money
when a tr6ing expense would have cared
the defects.
II. Because he has hung around the
Auditors office and bought orders at n
large shave, when he knew the money was
in the county treasury TO pay them.
III. Because he has,. in like manner,
hung around the Clerks Office, aud, by de-
ceplion, bought at large discount witness
and other fees, after he had learned the
money was paid in and would be paid over
OH demand.
~. Because he has bought lands at n
trihe on which there was levied heavy
ditch assessments, by telling the owners
thereof that the assessments were legal and
woul have to be paid, and then enjoining
the collection OF the assessments because
they were not legally assessed, thereby
land for less than Il was worth, and, sec
ond, by cheating the laborer out OF his pay
for ditching the land, by which its value
OF the land was Increased.
V. Because, nnder the pretense Of curing
defect in the title OF friend, he obtained
the legal title to eighty acres Of land worth
81, 900 for the sum Of $40, and then prose
culed an action against the real owner to
disrossess him.
vi. Because, outside Of money-getting
and political wire-working, he knows
nothing, and has no knowledge OF the
wants OF the people Of the District he seeks
to represent.
VII. Because the occupation Of his life
has in no way been beneficial to the busi-
mesa interests Uf the county.
VIII. Because he desires to be elected
that he may no change the ditch law uA to
deprive the owners OF the land 10 be ditch
ed the right they now enjoy, of working
out their assessments, aud instead thereof
have bonds issued payable in money, buy
them through his bank Mt rs or so cents
on the dollar, and compel the owner Of
the ditched land to pay them to him In
full, with per cent, interest added.

In his rounds, Mr.. EvERs has finally

Iuasmuch as We boarded three or four

J. a. BoNNELL then County Treasurer, and
Mrs BRONSON NOW Mrs. EvEns), a sister
Of Mrs, lioNNELI, was boarding there at
the same time, and frcm where Mr.. EvERs
courted and married her, il might appear,
10 an unprejudiced mind, that EvEns was
somewhat demoraliLed Abont that time
himself. Our relation with Mr.. Bon,
SELL's family as host and boardcr was Of
the most friendly nature, and We could
have remained longer, as n boarder, if we

facts 10 call attention to the depths a

Of the New York Times says; "rhe more

affair prearranged, prcmeditated, duly re-
hearsed, and carefully considered. From
first 10 last, Roscoe Conkling was the central
figure, around which everything was made
TO rcvolve, and he alone must be held re-
Sponsible for the consequences of the pro-
ccedings." The Herald, Times, Post, IIar-

900 square mies OF the richest alluvial
lands on the globe, without reaort to M

II means lowering the food line OF the riy-
er below the surface Of an area almost a.
great as the State Of Ohio, aud located il
the most genial climate in the world. 1t
means the permanence of twenty-five hun
