families, native born, were driven by I

mob violence from Bcrca, Madison county, Kentucky, merely because they were emancipationists, or anti-slavery in their views. They were born in Kentuck%y they had converted a savage people into a civilized community they had brought into day and Sabbath schools the ragged, tho ignorant, tho reckless, and dissipated children, who were now growing up into respectable and intelligent men and women. They had erected good school-houses, good churches had built the workshop and the factory they had inspired a trilling, worthless, drinking, carousing, blaspheming people with habits of sobriety, industry, temperance, and oth cr virtues they had been a blessing to

they were driven from their

homes,' their farms, their factories, yea from the land of their birth: driven by mob violence, without the sanction of1 government law driven as exils into other and more hospitable States. They applied to Gov. Magoffin lor protection and redress, but his hand was powerless, his arm was palsied he acknowledged himself a weak, helpless, imbecile Govern te

rnor: a Governor who would not pro-1

.ect tne freedom of speech or opinion

who could not protect the rights of

property who had no power to punish

those ho were guilty of mobs and un-1

lawful violence. Had Gov. Magoffin been applied to for means to punish an abolitionist* who was attempting to run off but a single slave, whose heart throbbed for freedom, how quick would his arm have been put forth how speedily would he have called into requisition all his official powers IIo-w prompt would he have proclaimed his power to punish such criminals, such intermecldler3 with the sacrecl rights of property? What trifling this, with the privileges and rights of American citizens? And how dark will be the page of history which records such official deeds? Such acts may gain for their perpetrator the empty plaudits of an excited people a puff of praise may tickle his Excellency's ear, but tho matured verdict of the right thinking people, and a calm reflectingposterity will be one of unmitigated, universal, overwhelming condemnation.

Since the expulsion of thcs'6 "families from Kentucky, Gov. Magoffin and the Legislature, have been invited by the Governor and Legislature of Ohio, to partake of the hospitalities of thc Capitol of that great and magnanimous State the State which received with open arms and a hearty welcome those exiles from Kentucky. Tho Governors

Magoffin responded in terms of high wrought eulogy and praise to Ohio, as the leading Empire State of the West— he spoke of her hospitality within the wallsVjf her Capitol, and well he might, for the people and thc State whom he addressed had given shelter, homes, and consolation to those Exiles who had been ruthlessly driven from his own State, and whoso rights and*property

C01npelled

the [Northern members of

their party to bow to their behests to vote for a disunionist for Speaker, and lend their influence to this disunion faction. Pare they, under these circumstances, deny that they are a disunion party? Upon them rests the responsibility of preventing the organization of Congress. So closely are they wedded to party, so fearful arc they of having the corruptions of thenparty exposed that they will clog the wheels of government: nay, threaten its very existence, rather than power should pass from their hands. But a day of accountability is rapid!}* coming, and fearful will be thc retribution visited upon these Northern do ughfaces! The murmur of disapprobation

Why then do they not assemble in conventions, and send up to Washington their voice of condemnation, and show to the world that they are friends of the Union and cannot be led astray by the day stars of disunion? This is their duty, which, if not performed, will leave them in thc ranks of those who. would destrov the

He was an old IIenry Clay Whig, and since the disruption of the Whig party ho has operated with the Republican part}-. He is a man of unblemished moral character he is talented, eloquent, brave and patriotic he is a man of great decision of character, he is national, liberal and conservative in his feelings and principles he possesses fine executive abilities, close discriminative judgment, and a large share of common sense. All these qualities are evinced by the manner in which he conducts his private professional affairs. With Cameron for Vice President ho can carry Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. AYith Lane and Cameron on our Presidential ticket, and the able and glorious Judge Otto for Governor, heading our State ticket, every man of thc Opposition hosts would fight with thc confidence of success."

editor of the Review pro

fesses to be in favor of squatter sovereignty, and still affirms his willingness to go for a slave eode in the Territories provided it is incorporated in tho

confidence in his professions? Who can believe him a friend of freedom? Anything for party—freedom or slavery—squatter sovereignty or a slave code—denounces thc spirit of disunion and then bows obsequiously to those who preach disunion. He dare not do otherwise than as commanded by his southern masters.

Our neighbor of tho Review, in

on the lynching of Eld. Solomon McKinncy, in Texas, says: "Thc spirit of mobocracy is not confined entirely to the South. Our own town has witnessed it."

This is all true neighbor, and we know of no man in our community better posted in regard to those unlawful demonstrations, than yourself. Have you any knowledge of the destruction' of the "Dead Horse," and like institutions? Speak out, you are neither in Virginia, nor Kentucky but in a free country, and have the right of "freedom of speech."

A SKRIOCS ACCIDK.MV— Dr. T. W. Fry met with a somewhat serious accident, we learn, on Saturday evening last.— He had gone on horse-back into the neighborhood of Peter Binford, some six or seven miles north-east of town, for the purpose of seeing or visiting his patients and when upon an icy hill side, the horse fell, catching one of thc Doctor's legs under him. The leg, or one (the small) bone of the leg, between the knee and ankle, was broken, and the ankle severely wrenched. lie is at thc residcnco of Mr. Caleb Binford, and will, we understand there yet for a few days.

TAYLOR S LECTURE. Bayard Taylor, the celebrated traveler, delivered his interesting and instructive lecture, "Life in the North," to a large and highly entertained audience, at McClelland's Hall, in this place, on Tuesday evening last, Mr. Taylor, while here, was stopping at the "Pursell House," and left on the 4 o'clock train yesterday morning, f6r Evansville, where he was advertised to. lecture last evening. "*tte also lectures at Indianapolis on Friday and Satui'dav evenings next.

Hartford Insurance.

We invite particular attention to thc "Statement" of the condition of thc Hartford Fir^ insurance Company, of Hartford. Conn., which appears in another column of to-day's paper. A certificate of authority, from the Auditor of State, will also be found appended to said "Statement," certifying that John Ii. Coons, of Crawfodsvillc, is the legally authorized agent of said company in this county. It is needless for us to say any thing in commcudation of this, thc oldest, and one of the most reliable institutions of the kind extant. All, and particularly business men, are well acquainted with her standing, and have been for many years past. Persons therefore, wishing property of any kind insured against loss or damage by fire, need have no hesitancy in calling upon the agent in this place. Eisks taken on the most favorable terms.— Give Mr. Coons a call, at his office, on Main street, east of the Binford corner, and have your property insured against loss by this much dreaded, devouring element—fire.

fi^Tlie Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday says that the spirit of persecution has again broken out in Kentucky.— Eighteen persons, men, women and children, have been warned to leave Bracken and thc adjoining counties, for the same offoncewith which tlioBereans were charged—for entertaining anti-slavery sentiments and that a portion of the banished are now in Cincinnati. And still the work of oppression goes bravely on.

THE "WEATHER.—The weather during the greater part of last week, was warm and spring-like this week, it is again winter,in every sense of the word. The Thermometer, yesterday morning, at sun-rise, stood at 3 degrees below zero.

Great Excitement in the House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. HOUSE.

Thc proceedings opened tvith prayer by Eabbi Raphael. It abounded with fervently expressed patriotic and religious sentiments. He implored divine blessing to dii-cct the House in the election ofa"Speaker who may preside without favor or fear, and that members might speak and act for glory and happiness and their common coun try. The prayer was listened to with marked attention.

The Clerk having stated that the question pending was on motion of Mr. Sherman that the House proceed to vote for Speaker.

A call of the House was made. Before the proceedings under the call were completed Mr. Babcock moved that Mr. Clark of N. Y. bo excused from attendance. He stated that a number of gentlemen were absent and that his motive in making the motion was to give them time to arrive.

STOCK GROWERS.

MR. EDITOR:—Permit me through the columns of your paper to say a few words to the many farmers of this and adjoining counties, who have patronized mcso liberally for thc past few years hoping a few items relative to the culture and feeding of stock for market may prove interesting to them. The prevalent error with the farmer, is to increase in quantity, to the neglect of the quality, whereas it is the quality of either cattle or hogs, which demands! the high price..

To make the culture of hogs profitable to the farmer, he should in all cases prevent the loss of the flesh derived from the mother, and keep it constantly growing until the hog is fully fatted :, thereby saving one-half the feed usually required, after being permitted to! become poor. My experience in rais-! ing hogs and cattle for profit, has been to feed early, and have my stock well fatted and prepared for early delivery, Should thc farmer adopt the above! mode of raising and feeding stock, it

would result vastly to his interest, as

well as that of the packer. The "Eng-! lisli Farmer" is noted for keeping hisj stock rapidly growing, until fatted for market.

As my interest is closely identified with yours, allow me to urge it upon all io feed early, both cattle and hogs.— For the further encouragement of far-! mers in so doing, I have offered an increased list of premiums for the coming year which, together with the list awarded to several farmers during the past year, may be found in another column of to-day's Journal, under the head of "Notice io Stock Grower*."

The Beethoven Society, of this place, organized some two months ago, will give a grand Concert at McClelland's Ilall next Tuesday evening, Feb. 7th. for the benefit of the poor in this place, to which a full attendance is expected. The Society offers a good programme, and has secured the services of two excellent violinists for thc evening, which will make the entertainment as interesting as possible.

GKNKRAL DEBILITY,—We would advise all who may be afflicted with General Debility, to try McLean's Strengthening Cordial. It is certainly a valuable remedy many of our friends have tried it, and they recommend it very highly as a Tonic and Alterative, It is very pleasant to take.

Every country merchant, in laying in his supplies, should be sure to take same of this cordial. It sells rapidly, beyond the most sanguine expectations of the proprietor. One day last weeklie sold every bottle he had on hand.— Now. with increased facilities, he is able* to supply all demand. See advertisement in another column.

DR. C. W. RoBACK'S SCANDINAVIAN REMEDIES.—The celebrated Scandinavian Remedies, prepared by Dr. C. W. Ioback, of Cincinnati, O., are now attracting considerable attention, not only among those persons who are afllictcd with Rheumatism and general nerveous derangement, but among the faculty. The following certificate from one of the oldest as well as one of the most prominent citizens of Mississippi, speaks for itself:—JVetc Orleans True Delta, April 2.

I have purchsaed two bottles of your Scandinavian Blood Purifier, and two boxes of your Pills, of Messrs. IIOWZE& IIARAWAY, which I havo used. They have given me almost entire relief. My limbs have been greatly swollen but your medicine has reduced them to their proper size.
