~~ The Great Tornado. ¢ *The great Tornado, which swept over a portion of Illinois last Thursday, #eems to have been almost without paralJol in severity. = * . We have further accounts than what we printinanothar columnfrom other places2iving the details of the destrction of churches, ware houses stores, dwellings, finces, &e., &e., comprising everything: moveable within track of the storm. -+ Among other places Galeshurg seems to have suffered very severely. The Congregational church in progress of ercction,upon which there had alrcady Leen ninetéen thousand dollars expendcd wag thrown down, a mass of ruins. The Catholic church built "during the past year was entircly demolished.— The engine house of the Chicngo'ax?d Quiney Railroad was crushed by the foree of the storm, burying in its ruips enginies and other rail road stock.— Reveral cars standing on the track "nc:Qar the depot was capsized and broken, besides buildings thrown down, others that were not entirely demolished were badly shattered, cornices and roofs torn off, chimneys and“trees blown dowjn” board side walks, boxes, buggies, and all other loose material were blown in all directions and in the most indescribable confusion. = e

Happily the loss of human life ias ntch smaller than might have been cgpeeted. . A lady who was walking on the public square, was blown down and picked up lifeless but was carried. into a Btore and soon recovered. A gentleman riding on the prairie in a bugey &s blown agaipst the fegce, and (th¢ bugey &eo. piled upon him. He wasafterward searched for but could not be found.” It was supposed that he was blown into the water and drowned, |

We have similar- accounts from Oquawka, Monmouth,"Kanwance, Peora, Junction, Prairie’ City and Cottage Hill. ; Qkaw, a- town on the branch Illinois Uentral Railroad, was most severely visited. A correspondent writing from there says that two thirds of the buildingsin the town were demolished, unr wofing most of the balance. At Monmouth the timbers of anlunfinished building were carried into the ajr, and some of them lodged upon a store crushing the roof and floors to t'.c cellar, fatally injuring one man.'

Let us barely glance at them retrospectively. ~ - I. The passage of the Kamsas Ne-: braska bill- in 1854 was hailed aga “Great Democratic Triumph.” (’3‘%l- - were fired over it in several of our great cities as a final settlement of the Slavery question. | iy L

_IL. The next “Great Democratic Triumph” respecting Kansas was won at the polls of the first Territorial General Election, March 30, 1855, Some two thousand ardent Democrats of the most orthodox pro-Slavery stamp invaded Kansas on that occasion; took pos-session-of her polls, drove off or awed into submission. her surprised and unarmed citizens, voted from ene to ten times each, and elected a clean pro-Sla-very Democratic Legislature by an over\whelming‘majority. Of all the votes east at that election, at least four-fifths were thrown by residents of Missouri;— and the Legislature so chosen did not deny its makers. = On the contrary, it adopted the criminal code of Missouri Dodily, merely declaring that whenever “State of Missouri” appeared in said code it should be understood to mean “Territory of Kansas.” It of course recognized Slavery as established in Kansas, and provided the most ferocious penalties foriall manner of resist ance thereto. . The Demacratic: party, in Congress aud out of it, oagerly recognized and upheld this Missouri usurpation as a valid act of the people of Kansas—recognizes and upholds it to this day, in spite of irresistible demonstrations of its true character. - Yet, though Dempcracy thus: signally - tri%mshed, the country was not fully pacified. R AR e

111. The people of Kansas repudia--ted this infamous fraud, its authors and. abettors, utterly refused: to recognize and obey the fruits of: a Missouri raid as acts of those whom.that raid was intended to subjugate” . They held meetings and conventions, appointed a Territorial Committee, and that Committee called a -Constitational Convention. whereby a Free-State.Constitution was formed and perfected. . This, instrument, being submitted to a popular vote was overwhelmingly adopted; Gov. Reeder was sent to Congres by the same impulse as: Delegate. ¢ There avas no.seri-. ous question—there .conld be none—that this Ceustitution was the work and ehoice of a-large majority of the peo-. ple. of Kansas,. That its origin ivas ir= regular is true; but those.who, by: eonspiracy, invasion and fraud, had divosted . the . people of the. Territorial: Legislature whereby to render it regulay and aceording to precedent, could right-: fully take no advantage of their pwn, wreng.;:, The Republicans in Congress voted unanimously to adniit Kansas un-, der her proposed.(Topeka) Stats Constitution.

In the course of these struggles, a year was misspent, . industry, gx_;gl.{jg\i%x?vgmcnt obstiueted, much ‘property” destroyed, fearful suffering gndured,and, hundreds of 4, lives destroyed. . The origin. and supportof .all these outrages was the original Missouri. invasion and sham election, investing with legal supremacy a desperate. faction.which’ was evera minority of: the people of Kansas, and thm‘& i spite of otﬁemlbolshe}ing,dld ot increases,. This faction was kept in countenance only by the alliance and suppozt; of . the- Democratic party of the Nation.

.+ V. Last year a “Demderatic” Convention was held, and a “Demoecratic” Constitution © concocted — that now knewn as the Lecompton. ' That Constitution not only establishes Slavery, but declares it indestrnetable—above all human power. It was indirectly ratified after the approved ‘“Demaqcratic” fashion—about .a thousand .invaders from Missouri casting (or counting) four out of the six thousand votes thrown in its. fayor. A Territorial Legislature of the same stripe was chosen in the like “good.old way,’ receiving less than one third of the People’s votes. But Walker and Stanton upset this nice arrangement, by throwing out a good part of the bogus refurns, thus riving the Free State men a majority.— %hi‘s was the first “Democratic” defeat

~ VI. Finally, after being twice fairly beaten on a bill to drag Kansas into the Union as a. &W&&g‘wmmn% no,” a bill has been cngineered through both: Hokises(sih et mashproßab i cause it did. othersbecanse it did not submit Lecompton to a yote of the peoplé of Kansas, of which the Tesponsié ble author refused to say whether ;‘iﬂ, or did not so submit it, ard which 'could not have bectr passed had ‘it been admitted either to favor or preclude submission. But, while the main pojnt is thus masked, there is; there can be,no question as to the fact that it offers Kansas large inddcements to come into the Union asa Slave State; and exposes her to serious penaltics 'in case. she stands out against Leecowpton .and ingists on being admitted as a Free State. Hear on this point that conspicuous organ of Nutional Democrdey, The Herald : btk < 1% Taking into estimate the facts that with the acceptance of fhe Lecompton Constitution, Kansas at once comes into the Union as a State; that she thus secures at once thre millions and a half of acres of the:pnblie domain ; and that the Free-State. party, with. a two-thirds majority in the oiganic State Legislature, will thus have the power, at’ once to send two I'ree-State Senators |n‘Cu§x- | gress,and to provide forthwith fora new Coby stitution we do not believe the Lecompton Constitution will he rejected. We do not believe that the people of Kansas will cast away the solid substance for-the mere shadow of Poupular Sovereignty.”

Thus it is caleulated by the authors and backers of this juggle~—not- that the People of Kansas approve the Lecompton Constitution—nobody pretends that—but that they can be induced to swallow it for the sake of immediate admission, of the land ‘grant, of Calhoun’s concession of the State Legislature to (quasi) Free State mcn, and of the fact that they can at once set about transforming the netoriousiy-detested constitution into a better one. Such is the “Great Democratic Triumph’’ just effected.. How much docs it look like “The End of Sectional Strife?” . . -—————-de‘»oo-h————--——- & The Kind of Dose Swallowed.

Col. ForNEY,in his Press, after Le~compton Junior had been gulped down by the Democratic recusants, turns the stomachs of honest men by a descrip tion of the dose swallowed. He says: ~ The unfortunate gentlemen who have swallowed the Knglish bolus at the last gasp, have wpited till the Lecompton compound , assumed its mosb nauscous and revolting shape. They rebelled against the . straight-out: swrender contained in-the first Senate bill, and they rebelled with noise and confusion; and from that time to, the. present, nothing wounld suit them but the pure pringiple, .of popular sovereignty.— Thesc.: Owen,, Joneses of the House took enormous credit to themselves for »t}gci_,r-; Roman jntegrity, and to hear them: talk one wonld . supposc that they would rather give up their valuable lives than their personal honor.— Bat just as the Lecompton folly got to be mogt disgusting, when, like a great ulger, it offended all the senses of honest mep; they, come forward and accept it, and aceept it7too with thanks!

Thaf they were swindlesand this was 2 bribe; which; professing to submit Lecompton to the people, did not submit it, according to its Southern expounders; and which, startingioutin the preamble with a scandalons misstatement, crowned the whole proceeding with a declaration that if the people of JKansas did not take it, they . should fester in dissentions till it guited their masters to sdmit them' ] .. ..

It declares that the Republicans “have determined to ‘make a dead set upon the people of Kansas to induce tgem to reject” Lecompton, This asgsertion is 'made against the fact, for the purpose to have some exeuse for the attempt of adminFistra.t,ion{ now making to ‘induce -the ‘people to adopt Lecompton. —Cor.

Among the Democralic outside allies of Mr. Douglas, we may mention, ex-Governor Walker and ex-Secretary Sla&tlon of Kansas, Governor Wise of Virgin« ia, the Rev. George Bancroft, and the Abbe McMaster of New York, and the the unhappy Col, Forney of The Pahiladelphia Pre:s as the most conspicuous among the Demociatic anti-Lecompton agitating inutineers ‘And now? the question recurs, what should be done, with these men? They bave réfnsed the generous peace offering of the Admin'é tration; they are in active cooperativn with the enemy; they are entitled to little or no mercy; theyvappear to be bent upon doing all tne mischiel they can—wh t should be done with them? - B S «The usual course in such cases, tinder lh&.' rules and agticles-of war, is to bring the.incurable’ deserters and runaways from the field of battle before a drum-head court marshal condemn them, and march them off to be shot. 'We apprehend, however, that iu this list of Kansas mutineers there may be scme with whom a milder policy-than gunpowder wonld Zbe expedient. | Respecting the chief conspirator, Douglas, we pass him over to the executigner. <An amnesty in his case is out of the question.

O‘?ll men; Bioderick’ has been the most viefent and vulgar in his personal abuse of the President, and evidently’the most malignantin his hostility to the Administration. He should be made an example of without further loss of time.” | Sl 3 7 ho

The animus of all this is clear, but how to do it is a serious question.— There is Senator Broderick, for instance who is fixed in office not only for Mr. Buchanan’s full term, but for two years from and after its close. What sort of an “example” can you make of him?— He is certainly yery plainly spoken with regard to the Lecompton fraud, its authors and backers; but how de you propose to eure him of this habit? “If looking well can’t move her, ~ o Will looking 22 prevail?” ! * If you say deprive him of all influence or voice in filling the Federal offices in California, we answer: You did that before he said a word agaigst Leeompton ; you'can treat him no worse in this respect than you did then.— What sort of “example,” then, did you winke of hamil & 0 700 i

.+ As to Messrs. Douglas and Stuart, their term expires with the present Congress, and the chance of administering party- dicipline to them would seem to be far be.ter. It happens however, that their econstituents are deeci dedly hostile to the Administration as well as to Lecompton, and would like nothing better than to-be obnexious to “the pawers that be.” Onlylet L & Mich. understand that their Senators are profoundly obnoxious to' Buchananjand the Slavery extending oligarchy, and nothing could prevent their re-election. If Messrs Douglas and Stuart fail of a re-election, it will be, because they are presumed by their Constituents - not thoroughly weaned from their devotion to Slave Democracy- If T'hé Herald wants to make “an example’” of them, by compassing their defeat, it should set, to praising thewwrall pretty good ﬁ@o@mﬁf}w hd will be all right on- Leeompﬁm in’ & month or two, and ge‘?a#uﬂ‘o two inserted-in the Union ;;_ thﬂtmm*;‘fg@w ,lgﬁ“ﬂld-?gk” f say a good word for them, and they L e pas redemption— . 7 Toribunw. 200 00 g ot e ey

Phebe had lived in Chester ten' or twelve years. She was industrious, and knew how to do all manner of womens work, and was able and willing to do it well. Withal she was professedly pious. - She gained friends in the best families 'in Chester, apd when any of them needed help, they thought it aloss if ‘they could not get Phebe: it

_ About twenty years ago, we hear, her husband died suddenly. A paper of arsenic was found injhis pocket, and uporr a post mortem examination, arsente was found in his stamach. It was supposed’ he had committed suicide, and no farther action of inquiry was had, : Four or five years ago, Mr Pelser, who kept- a Hotel in Chester, died -of erysipelas. He was a widower and had but one daughterat home, a noble young woman, who before that time had been affianced to Mr Hiram Colwell, a wealthy and respectable drover, well known in Orange County. She and her fathers assistant, Mr Heard, thought it best to secare Phebe, as cook in the hotel, and they did so. ‘Shortly after Phebe came there, Miss Pelser was taken sick with some strange disease, that her physicians could not understand. Her only sister, and herhusband, Mr Olark; were sent for, and came from the'South and took the management of Mr. Pelset’s business and property at Chester. From that time, Phebe was left mainly to nyrse and care for the sick and dyin Miss Pelser. She lingered and diéi under eircumstances to induce strange suspicions, but no onc suspected her faithful nurse Phebe. . About the time of her death Mr Colwell received an affectionate letter; while he was at the west bringing eattle, purporting to come from¢Miss Pelser, but at a time when it is known she could not write; requesting him among other things, to remember Phebe for her kindness to Miss Pelser. Rl ES S

Last fall Phebe was employed as a domestic in the house of John B. Tuthill, aJrespectable mcréhant?f Chester, in view of fhe prospective €onfinement of his wife, who was the only danghter of the late Francig Tuthill, Esq.—little Martha, as all who knew her, and ' many knew and loved her—called her. She was confined, her babe never knew life. Some unusual symptoms attended her case.” Her physician caid they indicated poison; but yet they might be the convulsions which sometimeg, attended parturition. Phebe was her nurse, and she could not be suspected. Martha died, and' < Sl ]

{“Blosssom and bough is' withered in bn:c.migbt."‘ Mr. John Tuthill’s family being thus broken up—for little Martha was all he had-—he went to. board with his brother and partner in business, Mr. Charles 8. Tuthill, and Phebe was duly transferted to “that = establishment as cook and maid of all work.

On the Istof April last, Mr. Fuller, a clerk ‘in the Tuthills’ store, took possession of Mr. John B. Tuthill’s house under an arrangement that Mr. John B. Tuthill was to board with him.— Mr Fuller had; no family but his wife. Phebe was thus thrown out.of, employ: ment, but still she was reteined temporarily between Mr. Tuthill’s and Mr. Fuller’s. Phebe did many acts of kindness for both Mrs. Tu_thi{lﬂnd Mrs. Fuller, and carried delieacies to and Famthem 0l Uiy e i 4 g

On the 6th of April last, Mr. Fuller ‘ had provided for dinner a.can of preserved corn and beans. ' They were not all eaten at dinner. - Phebe was at Mr Fuller’s. - After tea,and after Mr. Fuller had gone to his business, shie suggested to Mrs. Fuller that the corn and beans ‘might spoil; and they might as well eat the little there was left. - Mrs. Fuller consented, and Phebe brought up two small plates of corn and beans, one of whieh she ate herself, and the other Mrs: Fuller ‘ate, - That evening Mrs. Fuller was, taken' gick, with symptoms indicating poison. She died {sﬁartly after. - No onecould be suspeeted; her husband loved her. He had no one else to love. ' Phabe was kind, obliging assiduous and affectionate, and remained by her to the ¢énd.
