Gpod New3 for the Heathens. We are happy to inform our readers that arrangements have been made to relieve the Board of Home Missions of all burthen and care for the benighted of our community for the future, and better yet that no local subsciiption, even, are required for the support of the (political) Ministry horc. The anxiety of the members of the presert (so called) "Republican Party," has filled them so full of zeal, that some of them have experienced "a call;' and feel themselves fully ordained to spread Liht, Truth and Knowledge (embodied in nigC'erim, Disunion and Sharpe's rifles) before us gratuitously; that thereby we may bo led from the paths of Democratic error into the. ways of Fusion righteousness, and they themselves be styled the Saviors of the World! Glory in the highest! How shall we find words to praise their magna nimity? They not only have taken to prenehinrj without charge, and speaking the tirdh (?) "without fear, favor, affection, reward cr the hope thereof," but they make every day a sabbath, and preach thereon one day to the heathens of Unun tntrncibin. nn rvriffhr in lhoc nf PILand on the next to the benighted of Tip. I j canoe; and pour forth tho beauties of their religion, and urge their hearers to fiiih and action, which will shed abroad peice through all the land, and make "Free hoaes for Free men;" and abolish, run off, tar down and drag out corrupt and sinful Democracy, that is trying so hard to make slaves of '-Freemen," and bury the world in eternal perdition The, zeal of some of our new citizens, and some older ones (whose positions in society have been somewhat ratic, ) has at last placed them j on a firm foundation, and the road to Fame looka clear before them: and now they are to save the world by their eloquence and truth (?) Behold the men! Wo to you. Democrats! Tremble and be afraid! for notwithstanding your opponents have several tims been in povrer, and made many laws, not one of which re Plains all are swept from the Statute book, and only the laws made by you are standing, nud under them our country has risen to greatness and prosperity unparalleled, yet now your days are numbeiod!

a little over six months ago, -, it was thought bv some to bo a doubtful i enterprise. It has, however, succeeded beyond our expectations; our subscription list is slowlv but steadily increasing, and we can now say that the Democrat is permanentlv established, and will, in future, ; as heretofore, contain a general synopsis '.of all the latest news that will irterest the ; reader. "We shall studiously aoid pub - ! Inning news that we have reason to believe js not reliable. Every family in the county j should take a newspaper, and -vvc do not ; the i.m. in the United States have com- ' biucd to defeat the Democratic party, but if reliable democratic papers and speeches urn eiriili?rd frOidv amorcr the. neonlo. nur 1 success will bo certain. The political news this summer and fall, will be of thrilling interest. The Kansas excitement will be J kept up by the Abolitionists until the Prcs- ! idential election is over; their entire stock i . in trade is in Kansas, hence the necessity j for keeping up the excitement in that quar- ! ter. From tno signs of the times, (unless ; wo are much mistaken,) the Democracy of this nation will achieve a greater victory ' this full than ever before. We cannot sec ia remote probability of the "Republicans" j even making a respectable show of oppoI sition; their last long, lingering gleam of j hope has failed since the nomination of Jamejj IU.cnAXAX for President. We ex- , . , , . . , pect, before another month closes, that tho I' . . ., j Fusiomsts will represent Mr. Buchanan as ' man unfit "or President, a Federalist, a j man of bad habits, a tool of the slave pow- ; er, and totally incompetent to discharge . . lnc UtlCS Of 111? OfilCC It matters but little, however, what course they take, for T.wro riw.-...v,.x- rre,M.,t of these States. m--m . . . . . . rnmi me neuu vi our iicwei, 11 win uo Buchanan was Indian first choice, and next November will tell that he is the choice ' of the American people. Tho following . 1 .f .. ... 1 ,,. , 0 , u... iuuv-uoi inmaimnwprospciaoi miccci3, we copy from the State Sentinel: Iiie Nomination or James Buchanan. ; It is with no ordinary feoMngs of gratifi- ! cation, that ve record the nomination of (: the venerable patriot and .statesman, James I Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, as the Demo-: icratic candidate for President. James j Buchanan is most emphatically tho man for j tho limes To natural abilities of a sune-' r ' rior order, and a private life of nnsnnttod purity, he brings the aid of a most thoii 4 , J AHf'tl llliintnnffl with (hn molnnnvv At i , l . v n t our coveenment in all its ramifications. ! Te experience of forty years of active ser-

vico in public life is his-and fortunate formur(Icr of cigit pcrsons in KansaSf by ,he the country is it, that at this critical peri-1 Abolitionists, we clin from the DctroitV

od in our country's history, he is likely to I bo placed in a position where the benefits j of that experience are to be shared by the American people. When fmatieism and sectionalism runs riot, as they tfo at the present moment, threatening to upheave society to its very foundations, and shatter to atoms the last pillar that uphold.-? the confederacy, wo may all look to such men as James Buchanan for safety. His firmness, his moderation, his sagacity, his hiVh tij..... , . . .. , smiled i atnotism and integriiy. are points of character which cannot and w ill not be called in question. To doubt his election at this time, would be to doubt the capacity of the people fci self-government; for we lay it down as a self-evident proposition that with tho election of the purely sectional candidate between whom and him the contest is to bo waged, a separation jf the Union is just inevitable as it is that darkness follows the setting of the sun. The moment that a party purely Northern or purely Southern in feeling and action gets control of the government, that moment the Rubicon is passed. No alterna'ive is left but to sever the last link that binds us together, and build ujwn the ruins of the present confederacy a Northern and South cm Republic. Such an alternative the American people, either North or South, are not ready to adopt. . They see in the election of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, a safe guaranty against a result so fatally disastrous, and thus seeing, they have already prc-dcter-mined upon his election and inauguration to the office of Chief Magistrate of Donation." We call attention hi the School Land sale, which w ill be found under thc head of New Advertisements. This land is situated on tho north side of the beautiful lake, Maxincuckee. There are two roads passing through the land, and it is pretty well timbered, with several good springs. It would be a delightful retreat for persons who arc about retiring from business. The County Commissioners, at their I last term, appointed Drs. WtsT & Co., and T. A. Lemon, Physicians to attend thc county paupers, when called on by the proper authority. West & Co. belong to

Next week we shall publish tho platform and resolutions of the National Democratic Convention. They are sound and national, and breathe a spirit of patriotsm and devotion to the principles that preserve the Union, that id truly refreshing in these davs of abolition fanaticism and bigoted intolerance. We ask the people to compare them with those of the different sectional conventions that have been held for the advancement of niggeiism and the derogation of the right of foreign boru citizens; and we have no fear of the consequences. jCTTho Plymouth Graded School was commenced last Monday. Mr. Cummings, Principal; Mrs. Lock and Miss Mary Van Valkendurgii, Assistant Teachers. Some of our jours disappointed us this week, which delayed our issue longer than we had intended, and prevented us from giving as large amount of reading matter as we shall next week. We arc under many obligations to our agent, W, M. McCormick, of Knox, Stark county, for procuring us live newsubsciibers to the Democrat, at that place. 'fcWe have ever found many kind heartl aftd gentlemanly souls amongst them? ani-atP ' their hands have received a treercf)s an?l i ...f i i... j straight forward course, to merit a contini e l .1 -ni uance of the patronaur thus fir so willingly bestowed on us.

And, ter au vices- that eiirht pro-slavery men not satisfied with the mere act of killing, ers, it appears, horribly mutithe murderers lated the bodies of their victims, cutting their throats, chopping off their legs and arms, and gouging out their eyes. The Massacre was of course perpetrated through tho instrumentality of the Sharpe's rifles, contributed at the East by unscrupulous demagogues and fanatical parsons. Perhaps the weapons used in the slaughter were the identical ones contributed by Henry Ward Beecher, Prof. Silliman, and Miss Mary Dutton beautiful trio. In tho language of the Cincinnati Kn nrer, we would ask: "Is there to be no horror, no demonstration, no sympathy, no meetings, no resolutions in refereuce to this massacre: ill not our neace-convention .i I r n-o ... r - - e 4i folks turn aside far a moment, from the Lii1(;n r , 0 i, i , rbulletin oi bumner s last nullit condition, ,.,,! .: . i i i i and LMve some attention to this melancholy and tragical occurrence? Is it not of more importance that 'the glorious cause of freedom' should be purged of this stain, than that Senator Sumner's stomach should en joy n favorable result from a like operation?" We pause for a reply. The steamship Niagara arrived at Halifax at 5 p. m.on Wednesday, with Liverpool dates to the 24th May. The news is not especially important. On a motion of Lord Colchester, supported by Lord Derby and opposed by Lord Clarendon, thc Hdusc was brought to a vote upon thc course of the Government in the Paris Conference, and the attempt at censure failed, there being a majority of fifty-four against it. In the course of the debate Lord Clarendon referred particularly to the position of the United Stat s, and quoted Mr. Marcy's letter, which he pronounced moderate and dignified. There is a considerable discussion on thc Italian question. M. Ihierry, the historian, died on the 22d ult. A Postal Convention has been signed between Prussia and tho United S?ates.

The Occupation of Lawrence The True Story. The people of the whole country begin to perceive and appreciate the comprehensive system of fabrication, w hich has been employed by the Abolition press to mislead public opinion and excite a false sympathy in tcference to the troubles in Kansas.

Never, in all the excesses of journalism has there been anything to equal tho inter minable and inexhaustible Hood of falsehood which has been poured upon the country through those sewers of everything that is bad and corrupting in our politics, the Black Republican journals, in regard to the facts of the recent attempt to coerce and overcome the lawful authorities of the Territory of Kansas. It has been a perfect Mississippi of lies. A thousand labratoi ies of falsehood appears tobe engaged in throwing off the base coin, w hich is disseminated with the rapidity of lightning. The most common transaction is misstated, distorted and exaggerated, so that no honest man is safe in hazarding ai: opinion on any subject lest the next intelligence compels him to reverse and change such opinion. Thus (and this is the worst feature in this whole scheme of systematic lying) only one side of the story is over given all the violences and excesses of the opposing party being set forth w ith elaborate exaggeration, w hilst, on the other side, the picture is unstained and undarkened by a single fact of a discreditable or criminal charactor. Read tho New York Tribune, and the papers which follow and imitate it in this Kansas business, and the conclusion is that tho 'Free State,' party is the worst used the most shamefully outraged party that ,cver was gct unoll wr I It I, y

lit- -A A potism,' and that the other side has been guilty of very crime condemned by the decalogue, that the pro jdavcry men are murdcrrTli' and rWbbiniMhe Free State men constantly. But i. is never mentioned that thusTur there have been just as many and if the last news about the killing of echt pro-slavery n?n bi true, there will be twice as many of that party thathave been killed ' ofr Free State men. But who would ' eveuiscor mis in tue columns oi tnese nali-r These hibric:lions, however, have culmi nated into one grand epic of lies, in the nai iMive adofterl bv the Black Renulicans, of the occupation of the town of Lawrence, which is icpresented as being marked by murder, conflagration, !.bbery, and every excess that a licensed sohliery could perpotiaie on a long-beleaguied town. In the New York Tribnne, 'Our Own Correspondent,' writing from Leavenworth gives a most terrible picture of the affair, in which 'the booming of cannon,' 'the lurid flames of the houses,' 'the varied work of destruction,' 'searches of houses,' 'arrests of citizens.' 'horrible imprecations,' 'disifustinirlv-drunken men lvin in the streets,' 'men running about to hunt up Abolitionists to kill them,' 'the loss of life, and other outrages perpetrated on helpless men, women and children,' 'which (the writer very prudently says) will never be known.' lhis is t lie material ot the story which is j presented to the people of the North rela ! tive to an event in regard to which k is de-! bie, among all honest men that the facts should be faithfully and truthfully set forth The whole narrative is a string of unvarnished lies, concocted to deceive, delude and im pi so upon the people. It is a shame upon the country that there should exist among us such a machinery of falsehood hurtful, deceivin1' and betraying falsehood for it is through this means our people are deceived ii;t the bestowal of something i ! 15. jvmpathy upon a cause and party entuieu iriworthy oi either; a party wnicn is i setting itself up against the Government land the lawful authorities in a revolutionary and violent manner. We have obtained, from a gentleman who arrived in our city yesterday, a full narration of everything that occurred at Lawrence, which we believe will be found truthful in every particular. It presents a version cf that affair, the very reverse ofthat given to the world by the New York TfibiunCm .rnr r, Our authority is Mr. A. J. N essenirmcrlv of Kentucky, brother cf the former proprietor of the Louisville Journal, L ntleman known to every body in Mis siSsipri, and respected for Iiis lionesty, hi IIS miiuness 1 I and Ins high loral standing. Mr. W?ssenirer is a settler in Kansas, and has returned with a view of removing his family to that country. Ho was at Lawrence, and constituted one of the posse ordered out by the United Marshal to aid in the execution of arrests against certain parties there. Mr Wessenger states that before the entrance by the Marshal into the town, and whilo the posse called out by the United States Marshal were assembled at Franklin, near Lawrence, several armed partics rode out from Lawrence ami lired upon individuals and smaller numbers of persons fiTiiiii'flTif'ii u ilii lilt: mil! .'M .ii a iiiiiii. Y 1 n: . ? r . oouy oi ive roue toward a sentinel stationI , , ., , . i i .i ted at a bridge nar the town and tired their .,, .. 6 , e , ,f ... riles at him. 1 wo men of the Marshals . , , party, named Cosgrove and Brauten, wer' met uy ue .neu, aiineu muh oiiriij; a nfles, near the town, and was asked what party they belonged to. They answered that they were of th pro-slavery side. Then, fehaipe's titles is the word for you, boys,' was the reply, and forthwith the whole party began jto fire upon Cosgrove and Branton, who narrowly escaped with their lives, the balls passing through their clothes and hats. Cosgrove and Branton quickly returned 4e fire, and one of the party fell dead from his horse and the others galloped back into Lawrence. These and other occurrences, indicating a settled purpose of hostility and determined resistance, produced no little excitement in the camp of tho United States Marshal. The posse was composed exclusively of settlers in the Teniiory. There were no Missourians the;e, except as spectators. Gen. Atchison was there, but his mission was to urge peace and order, and he addressed each company, urging them to behave to ward the people cf Lawrence with the great est kindness, and a respect for their property, person and feelings. They must win them back to brotherly feelings and intercourse, and remove from their minds tho unfounded hostilities and prejudices which base demagogues had instilled into them. Gen. Atchison's speeches had excellent effect in allaying the excitement produced by tho incident's of firing upon tho Mar shal s men, to which wo have referred. On the2Istof May, the United States Marshal, .T'companii.d bv cightortu men, on-'

tered Lawrence and acquainting the people whom he met with his business, proceeded in a quiet and decorous manner to arrest several parties against whom he had warrants, lie then returned to the camp outside of the town, where the posse Avas assembled, and discharging them, stating

that he hau no uimculty in executing Iiis j writs Sheriff Jones then, an officer of the Ter ritorial government, called on the posse to aid him, and with sixteen men proceeded to

Lawrence. Jones was in a weakly state press, the rostrum, are equally ltidustrifrom his WCUnd. He told the people his Sous in TMYin.iratinr and rpm'.iliiirr those

business in a cool and quiet manner, coun . . . seling them to obey juui respect the law, and intimating his determination to do his duty though lie might be killed in his tracks. After making sonv; arrests he proceeded to the hotel kept by Mr. Eldridgo and held an interview with Gen. Pomerov, demanding of that personage the public arms, which the people had employed therein resisting the lawful authorities it was his right as a peace officer to take possession of. Pomeroy, as represented by our correspondent, conducted himself in a most craven and abject manner in the whole transaction, thereby giving the lie to all those pictures of his hcrosism and proves. Having obtained possession of the cannon, Jones, under the instruction, it is said of the Grand Jury, which had presented the Free State Hotel and the press of the Herald of Freedom as public nuisances, proceeded to destroy the hotel, after removing all the furniture out of it The cannon was planted in front, and several vollies were lired into the house. It finallv caught fire i and was consumed. No other house was burnt. The press of the obnoxious journal was also destroyed and the type removDuring these occurrences most of the people remained in town, and they were not molested. The only display of feelinir was on thepartofthepeopleofLawrenceagaiust their dastardly leaders, who, after leading them lntd their midst, cowardly abandoned them. They declare that neither Reeder, Robinson or Lane will ever be permitted to to come into the Territory. Two of the mm of tno Sheriff's party were killed by accident, one by the falling of a brick and anouier Dy an accidental shot, jsot a sin- j gle individual in the town was killed or' wounded. The most riiri l discipline was! 0I!frec'd an"S Sheriffs o-w and the severest penallws denounced against any j. , a ! one who should anronri:itc anvof the nronerlyof tho people Nothing was stolen. Robinson's house was burnt. It was the l i 1 I I only one destroyed besides the hotel, and Mr. Wessenwr declares the universal be - lief that the torch was applied by the citi - zens of LiwnVK'i? who were re-idv nut1U' yi 110 iilaa) out rngod by his cowardly abandonment of the town after he had betrayed it into rebellion. When our informant left all was peace and j riuiet in the town of Lawrence and through - out the country. The people were returnnisr to their homes, and it tiie miserable; demagogues and agitators could be kept away all would be well. From the State Sentinel. THREE SLANDEROUS FALSEHOODS. 1st.

These Abolition slanderers know the total untruth of their assertions": thev know that slavery is unpopular among the citizens of the free States, and they cannot; succeed unless they can deceive and huni-i bu:r the people, and raise false issues to ! j mislead the Democracy. The pulpit, the I . I I o o o base slanders, these known falsehoods. W e may contradict and disprove them an hundred times. yet they still utter them and retail them again, whenever and wherever they can lind a patient listener. Let our Democratic friends remember, that nearly all of the means of the Abolition party are exhausted, such as reasonable argument and candid investigation, and they are necessarily compelled to reort to mendatious falsehoods and unreasonable misrepresentations of the views and principlos of the Democratic party. Refer to oar State and National platforms and resolutions take a survey of the princi pies we have always proclaimed and acted upon, and then you will be prepared to show, at once, the deceitful and bare faced falsehoods of your calumniators. Xo slander is too vile, no assumption too arrogant no falsehood too glaring or stale for their use. They commit great political miis, and turn round and charge their own acs upon tue democracy. A ucsire seems to exist, on their part, to abuse the confidence of the people, and to deal in fiction, rather than in truth, to such an extent that thev allow themsolves to proclaim their own in f:imv.

FROM KANSAS.

Curresiondcucc of the Indiana Stae .S utiu. ) Lawrence, Kansas, May23, 1CM. - Messrs. iakuadee Cottom, Gentlemen: Of the tragical event .A which this place was the theater dav U fore yesterday, I do not purpose to irca 151 detail, lou will have heard the nev hv telegraph long ere this Can reach yoi. ' ne 0,,,y caution necessary to be observed is to sift such news thoroughly; for, rrhaps, not ot.e-tenth part is true. Km here, at the very center of Kansas troubles, it is impossible to get at the truth, so fals and.contlicting are many of the rumors flying over the country. But that the great hotel of Laurence, the presses of the rald,' and 'Free Slate,' and Dr. Roblnsou'i house, were destroyed, are lixed facts tie evidence is before my eyes. And wir were these things suffered to be done? ia the question I propose to look into. ( It was not because the people of Law rence were too cowardly to defend thefr J property; for always (excepting a few blusBering Abolitionists, whose loud-rnouthel ! valor in time of peace evaporates on th approach of danger,) they Lave aVipirit wn:cnioes not i;tii tnem in time of trial. ! A,,J I have it from jhhI authority that ! three-fourths of her citizens wanted to reist, but their leaders overruled them. And it was from motives of policy tcilh an eye single lu the elections in the lYofth that the spirit of the people was suppressed and the outrages ix-rmitted. I say permitted for j had the men which Lawrence had in and I immediately arouud her, w ith the arms w 111c 11 iney nad at their command, have made a stand, the pro-Slavery mob would not have entered the town. So 1 w.isful! j by intelligent pro-Slavery men who wen.j there.
