DRATH Ol' O. D. OWEN.

The telegraph announces the death at New Harmony, on Tuesday, of Dr. David Dale O wen. son of the celebrated Robert Owen of New I^mark, Scotland, and a brother of Hon. Robert Dale Owen, late American Minister to Naples. At the time of his death Dr. Owen was State Geologist of Indiana, his life having been prii.tipnlly devoted to the study of geology and the kindred sciences. lie made the first gcolc-gical survey of Indiana, about the year I S38, we believe, and subsequently was appointed by the General Government, to make a survey of the Northwest Territory. Ilis report of this great labor was published by the government at great expense, ard is one of the most valuable works of the kind ever given to the world. After completing this survey, lie was suc-

cessively employed by the States of Ken-

Wc have not heard the cause of Dr. Owen's death, but" we presume the constant exposure which the pursuit of his favorite science rendered ncccssary, gradually undermined a constitution not very robust at best. In his death Indiana has unquestionably lost her most eminent man of science, and cr.c which will not probably soon replaced. At New Harmony Dr. Owen had a vast laboratory, where he was constantly employed—when not abreut in his geological tours—in making experiments and testing earths and metals. ]lc had the finest collection of geological specimens in the West, and one of the liestin the country, a portion of which, if «e arc not mistaken, ho presented to the State a few years ago.

DKPI.OBABK.KSV(CIDE.

Wc were greatly shocked yesterday by intelligence of the melancholy death of James T. T. Suit, a well known and prominent lawyer of Clinton county. The sad event occurrcd on Tuesday evening at his residence in Frankfort. Mr. S. had been laboring under mental depression for a few days previous, but no one for moment anticipated the dreadful consequences that ensued. After tea 011 the evening in question, lie repaired to his oilicc and was engaged for some time in attending to itis corrccpoudcncc. Having deposited his letters in the post-office he returned home and handed a letter to his wife, which contained an explanation of his suicide. Before she had time to break the ycal, Mr. S. left the room, and in a moment the family was startled by the report of a pistol. They rushed from the house and found the unfortunate father and husband stretched upon the ground, already an inanimate corpsc. The ball had entered his head, penetrated the brain and produced instant death.

Mr. Suit was a highly honorable gentleman and had filled many leading'positions in Clinton county, of which he had long been a resident. At one time he was Sheriff of the county, and from 1854 to 1858, a member of the State Senate. lie had enjoyed to an unusual degree the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens. At one time there was no more promising young man in the State. During the existence of the old Whig party he was a leading Whig. Of late years he was an actirc Republican. A few days before the Presidential election he addressed a large meeting at the corner of Illinois and Romig streets in this city.

Within the past week wc received two letters from Mr. Suit, and they gave no evidence of such an appalling calamity as orertook him. With his bereaved wife and afflictcd children—six in number— wc deeply sympathise in this almost overwhelming stroke of Providence. They have lost a kind protector and the community a noble gcntlcmau.—Lafayette Journal.

HOBHK OV AWOTIIKIt COI.OBNVI.IVICATION IN •l,L.IXOt8.

Neither of our Republican cotcmporaries, the Gazette or the Commercial, has, as we observe, said one word against the late unification of the United States law in Chicago, 111., by an excited mob. It will be.rccollectcd that on Monday last, while the United States Marshal had a prisoner (a fugitive slave) in custody, he was stopped in the street by those Republican pets, free negroes, and compelled to surrender him to the officers who acted under the State government. Tiic mob openly declnred that the negro, whatever might be the determination of the Court, should not be removed from the city.

While this open and bold nullifies. t:on and rcsitsancc to law is tianspiring in the commercial capital of the l'rcsident-eloct's

But not one word do they say of Northern resistance to law.— Their failure to uoticc it would seem to indicate that they see nothing wrong in forcibly resisting United States laws in Northern States. Resistance is something which depends upon degrees of latitude or longitude to sanctify or render it atrocious in their estimation. What free negroes of the North can do with impunity and without punishment is very heinous when done by Southern citizens. We submit that, while they arc lashing Southern nullificrs and scccssionists.it would be well, for consistency's sake, to denounce the nullifiers and rcsistants of law in LINCOLN'S State—in Chicago, tho banner Republican city of the Union.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOR It is understood to fcc one of the functions of the Grand Jury to make presentments of nuisances, and to suggest to tie Court and to the country such reforms in law, or in its administration, as may to them seem proper.

Hence it was the purpose of this jury to lay before the Court, some matters suggested by the indictments submitted to them but the events of yesterday seem to render this unnecessary now. The verdict of the Northern section of the Confederacy, solemnly announced to tiie country through I the ballot-box, on ystcrday, has swept away the last hope for the permanence, for the stability of the Federal Government of sovereign States and the public mind is constrained to lift itself above the consideration of details in the administration of law and justice up to the vast and solemn hsucs which have been forced upon us.

In the histeiy of the United States an event has happened of ominous import to fifteen slaveholding States. The State of which we are citizens has been always understood to have deliberately fixed its purpose whenever that event sliou.'d happen. Feeling an assurance of what will be the action of the State, I consider it my duty, without delay, to prepare to obey its wishes. That preparation is made by the rcsignat on of the office I have held. For the last time I have, as a Judge of the United States, administered the luws of the State of South Carolina.

ATOTHIB IfKCiBO MCITRJIRJTTAntMaai Bntaerf a FagtllTe ftlarc. Some days since a warrant was issued by Commissioner Corneau, of Springfield, for the arrest of two- Fugitive Slaves, which escaped from their master, a Mr. Nueehal, of Nebraska City. The slaves, both females, were traced to this city.— Hither, a deputy marshal, armed with the warrants in due form of law, came in quest of tbem. He was also, as we are informed accompanied by the master of the negroes, who came for the purpose of identifying them One was found in a negro house of ill-fame, somewhere in the neighborhood the armory, and was last evening arre^i ,jjr je{fers0n

by the deputy marshal The arrest was of coursc a signal for the rising of the Republicans, and their negro allies to rescue the fugitive. Scarcely had the marshal left the house in question with his prisoner, than he was surrounded by a mob of Degrocs and whites, furiously clamoring for the liberation of the slave and for vengeance upon the "kidnappers."—

Can't take no collo'd pusson out dis yer town—dat you can't," exclaimed one bloodthirsty looking darkey, and No, indeed that you can't!" was the significant response of a well known supporter of Old Abe, who cxpecrs to be a deputy under the next U. S. Marshal for this district.—

Whar—whar's dc Mayor, gone cried another darkey rushing through the crowd in breathless excitement l'sc been to his office and I can't fine him." Let's take the woman away Down with the kidnappers"—" kill the d—1 scoundrels and other expressions of similarly amiable tone were heard fro the lips of the white Republicans in the crowd.

The deputy who made the arrest appeared to be a man of great resolution, and showed no disposition to let the rescuers tak'i the prisoner away from him. But the latter manifested an equal determination to have the negro at any and all hazards. The crowd every moment increased until two or three thousand persons surronnded the prisoner, the marshal and the owner of the slave. They were in the vicinity of the Armory, and the policemen hearing the noise came running to the spot. The Republicans immediately called upon the policc to arrest the kidnappers." A rush was made for them they were arrested, and together with the fugitive negro were Iockcd up in the calaboose. Tiic latter is no doubt this morning far on her way towards Canada, via the Underground railway.

P. S.—10 o'clock, P. M.—The negro has just been rescued by the mob. To avoid breaking down the armory, a person named Jcuks, one of the Republican Wideawakes, was procured to swear out a warrant before Justice D'Wolf, charging the negro with resisting an officer. George Anderson, Republican Deputy Sheriff, was deputed to cxccute the warrant. The negro was at once let out and taken by the mob, amidst the mo,st demon-like yells, the firing of pistols, etc. The warrant issued by Justice D'Wolf was of course a mere pretext to get the negro out of the lockup by a show of legality. The Republicans did not like to pull down the building so .soon after the election of Old Abe. But their proceedings last night furnish the first practical commentary upon the result of the late election. It is the beginning of the end.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

After rescuing the negro prisoner from the custody of the U. S. ofiicor, night before last, the mob of Republicans and negroes proceeded up Clark street to the house of i'd-fame where the negro was arrested. On the way, several persons were discDvercd in tiic crowd who were suspected to be non-sympathizers in the proceedings. These were at once questioned as to how they voted. One person rather incautiously replied that he voted for Douglas. Immediately lie was surrounded by a guard of negroes, who kept him in this way from moving any nearer to the rescued negro. The sable guard kept him a prisoner until the fugitive was out of sight, and then allowed him to go.

Upon arriving at the house where the fugitive was found and arrestc-d, the mob indulged in demonstrations of great violence, threatening to burn it down and murder the inmates. The latter managed to c.^capc by the back door and fled for their lives. *.

The mob also proceeded to the house of Mr. A. J. Sink, who was likewise suspected as one who hail given information of the whereabouts of the runaway slave. The mob would undoubtedly have broken into the house, had it not been for the resolute bearing of Mr. Sink and a few of his friends, who posted themselves with revolvers near the doors and windows, and promised death to the first person who should attempt to enter.

No policeman appeared, or in any way attempted to interfere with the proceedings of the rioters, those Republican officials having been sent to another part of the city by order of one of their superiors. —Chicaso Times and Herald.

In view of this deplorable division of the people into two great sectional parties, it may be well to produce the re flections of Thomas Jefferson, years ago, on the same subject. In a letter to Nelson, dated Monticello, March 12,1S20,

ays

I thank you, dear sir, for the information in your favor of the 4th inst. of the settlement of the present Missouri question. I was so completely withdrawn from all attention to public matters, that nothing else could rouse nic than the definition of a geographical question, which on an abstract priuciple, is to become the line of separation of these States, and to render desperate the hope that men can ever enjoy the blessings of peace and self government. The question sleeps for the preseut, but is not dead."

To William Short Mr. Jefferson wrote as follows, under date of Monticello, April 13, 1820:

Although I laid down, as a law to myself, never to write, talk, or even think of politics—to know nothing of public affairs —and therefore had ceased to read newspaper?, yet the Missouri question aroused and filled me with alarm. The old schism of Federal and Republican threatened nothing, because it extended into every State, and united them by the fraternization of party but the coincidcnce of a marked principle, moral and political, with a geographical line once conceived, I feared would never more be obliterated from the mind that it would be recurriug on every occasion and irritation, until it would kindle such mutual and moral hatred as would render separation preferable to eternal discord. I have been the most sanguine in believing that our Union would be of long duration. I now doubt it much, and sec the event at no great distance, as the direct consequences of this qucstiou not by the line which has been so confidently counted on—the laws of nature control this—but by the Potomac, Ohio, Missouri, or, more probably, the Mississippi, upward to our northern boundary. My only support and confidence is, that I shall not live to sec this and I Onvy not the present generation the glory of throwing away the fruits of their fathers' sacrifices of lives and fortunes, and of rendering desperate the experiment which was to dccidc ultimately whether man is capable of self government. The treason against human hope will signalize their epoch in future history as the counterpart of the model of their predecessors."

In a letter to John Holmes, dated April 20, 1820, Thomas Jefferson says I had for a long time ceased to read newspapers or pay any attention to public affairs, confident they were iu good hands, and content to be a passenger in our bark to the shore from which I am not far distant. But this momentous (slave) question like afire bcil in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at oncc the death knell of the Uuion. It is hushed, indeed, for the moment, but this is a respite only, and not a final r.cntencc. A geographical line, coinciding with a marked principle, moral and political, once conceived aid held up to the angry passions of men, will never be obliterated, and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper.''

Thus earnestly wrote Thomas Jefferson, forty ycara ago, of the danger of making the slavery question prominent in our politics, as ii would .at once divide our country upon a geographical line, dissolve our Uuion and overthrow our liberties. There was nothing which the fathers of the Revolution so feared is the organization of sectional parties, and against which they have left such impressive warnings. IN the mad conflict of parties these warnings have been forgotten, and our national bark is threatened with shipwreck upon the shoals and dangers which they pointed out.

Wc trust the present storm will, as it did in 1820 pass over, and that Mr. Jefferson's somber views may not be realized. Wc have confidence in tiic sober second thought of the people of tho South.
