The editor presumed they had ox- ate tho l of suc1' nguagc, the tomptanmincd the law and had acted according i tion would have been too strong for him to to its provisions, and then, in the 11(.xt , e resisted. The use of such billings-SMit-ncc virtually owned hat they had;lte ms one of the chief elementfein "one contrary to "the provisions for taking tho category of Jiermblicau staples; and ca of the poor, but x.-use 1 the matter ; considering Mattinglys depraved nature, bv sayin Mhat. it would not be fo-md f:iUU ' that ho should fail in with such a party

u-;(K l,v ,nv n,,lr th Democratic leaders, i II till J Km J J ' - - - - w on the account lhat it would be a great saving to the county. To show that economy is not what has induced them to let out the poor as they have, we propose to give a case or two in point. As our neighbor has admitted that they "stretched the law slightly," we will no; here discuss further tho legality of their actions. This, bv the way, is rather a humiliating admission for a man who is s very particular a our neighbor, hbout filling the law to the letter. But, to the ease above alluded to. Thvre, is a p or and unfortunate family .n.:.i. w . ..i ii,-...,...i. i... ! Ol Ii Iii .r-".i. i! . IliVUlll, Oy , uaine of Ui an, which haa, in part, been i-1' r port I'd by hf county, for senw time Tjaa. The f uailv consists of the mother, ona daughter i young woman, and an other, a child not capable of taking care of ite!f in any decree. The mother is not competent to care for her lamilj and the ycung woman, who is ono of the most industriell ever in this place, and esteemed very highly by ail who know her, as an hor.st and respectable girl has been so unfortunate as to be afflicted with a tumor on her arm. It grew to such a size that tdf was compelled to have it taken out, in which operation she suffered the most exeruti ning pain, tho fleshy part of tlie arm above the elbow being almost entirh taken off and the b one scraped. Uut this aid not remove the dis as. and we uridt-rataad that she hs twice went through the p'r.ilio;i, and thai now she lias i:o use f lhat limb. This family has been receiving from the county l,o0 pr week f r their maintenance. The balance the young lady gets by doing what he ran with one hand, and what her friends give her. At the last session of the Board, they gave all the poor into the hands of the man they hired to keep them, which we add by way of parenthesis (thtj had no xhjht to A few days s ec the family was informed by one of t'rs officials, that thv should iret ready to fio to the place where the paupers were to be kept. They aked the privilege of staying where they were, as they had some fow household goods that would bo destroyed if the. left then.

This request, we uaderstand, was deni d her, and she was told that there was no use talking, that the law required that thy should go, and that it had to be complied with.

For the Democrat A GLANCE AT Helper's Impaneling Crisis. BT INVESTIGATOR. By a mistake of the Printer, our last ar

ticle, which was devoted in general to i Maltingly, wa3 divided, and only the first part inserted; wo this week give the remainder, which corisits, in the main, of extracts from the Ciisis. When these ar j tides wero first commenced, he was very uneasir, fearing that we would not present a sufficient number of extracts 10 give a correct index f the character of the book, but we think our last article, iu this connection with this one, will relieve him of further anxiety on this score. Last week tho Republican contained the following in answer to our articlo which appeared two weeks ago; And if evasion is not his mode of treating facts, (except when he denies them,) we are no judge of hnguago. In the extract which follows, can bo seen a desire to say something rej voltingly vulgar and obscene, and if the community in wnicn Jiu lives would toJerairi auoPl inejr muo 01 WW is not at all surprising: "'Investigator,' an anonymus writer whose assinine productions have appeared weekly in the Democrat for a month or two past, devotes a whole chapter in the last number of that paper to our benefit. Iu the spring of the year asses are very apt to bray when they see a person passing along the highway. Their discordant notes may annoy very nervous people, but Te know no remedy except to chunk the long-eared gentlemen for their want of manners. We have not space at our command to-day or we might for pastime throw a few chunks at 'Investigator.' As it is wo shall have to defor indulging iu the amusement until a inoro convenient eea--iOn. Not having had much acquaintance with the animals alluded to in the above extract, until Mattingly'8 advent into our community, we are not very well posted in regard to the means necessary to cure them of their braying propensities; but as hi hag kindly furnished us with a recipe, and if he makes as great a failure in future attempts to answer arguments adduced against him as he did in writing tho article we have quoted, we shall conclude that tho recipe is a good one, and one that should be brought into general use, especially on Mat.ingly and other members of the tribe, a portion of whom will be mentioned hereafter. We have no difficulty in finding the "chunk's" to throw at this venerable specimen of the tribo, and tho smaller yelpers who, if considered according to merit, would bo found scarcely worthy to perform scavenger duly. Tho 'chunks,' and many others of the sane kind, 'which wo throw at the 'J. A.' of the Republican, may bo found in tho Ciisis, on tho pages indicated by the figures at tho closo of each extract: Though the Whig, Democratic, and Know-Nwthing newspapers, Jn all tho States, free and slave, denounced Col. Fremont as an intolerant Cat'iolic, it is now generally conceded that he wa nowhere supported by the peculiar friends of Pope l'ius IX. The votes polled at iho Fivo Points precinct, which h almost exclusively inhabited by LOW IRISH CATHOLICS, show how powerfully the Jesuitical iniluence was brought to bear against him. At that delectable locality, as we have ahe.tdy shown, the ti.nid Sa of Wheatland received five hundred and sovmty-four vo!e3 whereas the dauntless of Kmpiru received only sixteen. iiuo to their instincts for freedom, tho Germans, trenurallv. voted tho ri-rhr n.-L-. et, and they will do it again, and continue to do it. With the intelligent Protestant element of the Fatherland on our side, we can well afford to dispense with the IGNORANT CATHOLIC ELEMENT OF THE EMERALD ISLE. In the iniluj j , - -r -- .ence which they exert on society, there is Iso little difference between Slavery, PopoHU uiu umerenco -jeiween niavery, I'ono r-v' anJ -giving Democracy, that wo are Hot at all surprised to see them ro- , , ,iai)(, jn liam, diabolical work !uf inhumanity and desolation. G3. To turn the slaves away from thuir present homes away from all the property and means of suj port which their labor has mainly produced, would be un111 l m . pardonably cruel exceedingly unjust. Still more crud and unjust would it be, ii . . . .r i i Ii nowever, 10 me. non Kiavenouling wtmes less than to the negroes, to grant fur-thi-r toleration to tho existence of slavery. in any event, come what will, transpire what may, tho system must bo abolished, The evils, if any, which are to result from abolition, cannot, by any manner of means, be half as great as tho evils which are certain to OTertako us in case of its continuance. Tho perpetuation of slavery is ihe climax of iniquity. CC. Ignorant of even tho first lessons of a hornbook, they bandy among themselves, in traditionary orr'er, certain garbled passages of scripture; such, for instance, as poor old besotted Noah's intemporato curse of Ham, which, in shame and pity bo it said, ihey regard, or pretend to regard, as investing them with full and perfect lieenso to practieo and perpetuate their most uchallowwd system of iniquity. 140. A reward of eleven hundred millions of dollars is offered for the conversion of the lands of North Carolina into free soil. The lands themselves, desolate and inv poremhed under the fatal foot of slavery, offer the reward. 103.

Maltingly can probably explain how lands, desolate and impoverished, can pay the small sum of eleven hundred million dollars. In taking leave of our readers, we know not how we can give moro forcible expression to our thoughts and intentions lhau by saying that, in eoncert with the intelligent froe voters f tho North, we, the nou-slaveholding whites of the South, desire and expect to elovato to tho Presidency, in lCG'J, an ab!-3 and worthy representative of tho great principles enunciated in tho llepublican platform adopted at Philadelphia in 185C; and that, lorever thereafter, we will, if we can, bv our suffrages, hold tho Presidential chair, and other high official positions in tho Federal Government, sacredly intact from the occupancy and pollution of Pro-Slavery demagogues, whether from the North or from the South; and furthermore, that if, in any case, tho Oligarchs do not quietly submit to 'he will of a constitutional majority of the people, as expressed at the ballot box, the first battb between Freedom and slavery will bo fought at home and may God defend tho Right ! 214. "It counsels no violence"! says Mattingly. Wo deem the above sufficient for our present purpose, which vas to present extracts which would condemn the Crisis, or the Bible itself, if such sentiments and lanixuaiie could be found in it. Since the above extracts were compiled, a correspondent of the Republican, under the cognomen of 'Castigator," has stepped into Mattingly'8 shoes, and puts forth a labored article, and says many powerful

things which were doubtless expected to j bo very damarlo the author of the60 articles; but which wo defer answering until next week, for want of space. Col. Lane's Jlisrcprcscntations. We clip tho following paragraph from a speech mf.de by Col. Lane, at Lawrenceburgh, from tho State Sentinel of the 21st inst. AVe do not give all the remarks of Col. Lane found in the Sentinel, but give that portion which we think will bo most interesting to cur readers, as we have heard the following subject discussed some within a few days past.

On the last night of the session when bills could be constitutionally passed, at about 9 o'clock. Mi. HusTETLEir. Democratic Senator, proposed propose tho following p eanible and resolution: "Whekeas, The interest of sundry citizens demand that the Specific Appropriation Bill should bo passed, and tho general intermits of the State demand that the General Appropriation, Revenue and Temperance Bills should also, be passed, and as thero is hardly time now left to pass the above-named bills, therefore. Resolved, That tho business pending be informally passed by, and the above-named bills be taken up in their order and passed. " Thisj ropoition was sustained bv the Democratic Sc .ators, but it wa voted down by the Uepupüeau I Senators. And notoulv In this instance, but more ' th, in a hundred times thv Itepublicau Senators voted down the motiona maJw by the Democratic Senators to take up and pass the necessary laws. Finally the Republican yielded lo pass the speci tic appropriation bill to draw from tho Treasury their own pay, but utterly refused to pass the general appropriation and revenue bills which provided for the support of the Henevoleut Institutions. With these facts be for m we injire,"Ii theie no limit to party madness ?" Colonel Lane can answer. Ntxt, Colonel I.ane chart's that (lovernor Wim ard "svnt to their distant homes the inmates of the State Institutions!" .May we not here charge that Colonel Lane is culpable for what he attributes to others, by upholding the Hcpublican Senate in refusiiit to pass the necessary laws to provide for their supiort? Hy so doin, ho certainly became a party to the outrage. No', w hat aro the facta? Col. Lank charged lhat Gov. Willard senf'the poor blind child to wander a stranger in very night and darkness, over the face of tho .Mat... i neiaet.knoeK ail ti e ruiuai.ee put of t'jM rhetoiie. 1 be Iliind Asy.u.u was not eh.srd, und thoie "poor oiit-ea.-ts, lii. ndless'ind homeles," tn;-yed every advantage whieh the beneroleneeof th.- St iehadprovi l..d. The Colonel's very ympathetic eloipn nce is all lost in that quarter, The Deaf and Dumb Asylum was elo.,d for a short period but by whom? The Trustees, in their i - l i " i .... puuiisneu proeecumgs, say tiiat,in consequence of me laiiure oi legislature to make appropriations to support the Ayhuii, it becomes neeessarv to suspend the operations of the same until pupplies are provided." Who failed to make the uppropri-1 atioua? The Dcmoeratic Houau passed the bill, I'm 'I'ui j aim me tsemoernuu ineuaiora were reaay 10 U( BO at all times, tülonel Lank, m sustaining the fiction of the Itcpehlicun Senate, in respondsiblc party for sending forth to wander, for a short period "the deaf and dumb, who have never listeneu to the voice of lather or mother. " Wboeloscd the Insane Asylum? At that time, the srrinaof 13. it was under the control of x I rustecs, three of whom were Democrats and three Republicans. Tlie order to close the Asylum and discharfK the inmates was made at a meeting of tha Board, when three llepublican and only two Democratic Trustees were prcsont. This made tho Ilepublicans doubly responsible for closing this institution; first, in refusing to pass tho appropriation bill, and next in ordering the inmates discharged. More than thi. two of the Republican Trustees, Dr. RiTt inr. and Mr. Grimes wore opposed to opening tho Asylum upon any condition, oven if tho counties woro ' . . ' - - - ... willing lo pay the expense of keeping their

patients. Again is Col. Laxe responsible, j by sustaining tho action of his political . friends, for sending home to the counties, j

tho ''poor, friendless, homeless, waudeiing maniac." Governor Willard instead of being in favor of closing these intitutions, as is charged by Col. Lane, was in favor of continuing them opeu, and drawing money from the Treasury for that purpose. But he had no moro control over the pulic funds than had Col. Laen, and he could only give his counsel and advice, This he did. lie united with the State officers in a written recommendation to the Treasurer of State to supply tne funds in hands to their support, for tho reason, in addition to philanthropic considerations, that it was "the clear provision of tho Constitution that those institution should be supported." Tho T r asurer of State, after the adjournment of tho Legislature, refused to pay warrants for the support of those Institution for tho reasons that the Legislature had failed to pass tho revenue and appro priation bills, and that ilie money he hd on hand would bo only sufficient to pay the interest upon tbo public debt and the necessary expensed of the Government until the Legislature should again meet. After this refusal, it was found "that the laws of the State provided that the Auditor, Treasurer and Governor, were authorized to procure money to pay the interest upon the public debt." Means having thus been found to protect the faith of the State in the payment of the interest upon the public debt, the Treasurer consented to disburse tho public funds to meet her other constitutional obligations, ono of which the Constitution thus defines: "It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provid, by law, for the support of tho Instituions for the Education of of the Deaf and Dumb and of the Blind and and also for tho treatment of the Insane." This explius the causes and reasons why two of the institutions were temporarily closed, and answers the charge made by Col. Lane that governor WinLAUD said first "there was not money in the Treasury to support theso patients," and then that thero was plentyof money." Colonel Lane cannot take advantage of his own party's wrongs. They had the power to pass tho necessary laws, but for the purpose of advancing partizau chemes, the Republicans Senate of 1057 refused to do it. They well knew the consequences of refusng to enact those laws, and for whatever evil that followed, then arc clearly responsible. Hiey determined to cary a party measure to the scrifiee of the general interests of the State, and Proceedings oi" tlie Charleston Convention. Charleston, April 23.

They claim 117 votes at the start, exclusive of NewYork, but including the east and a portion of the sonth, and are also osuro of his nomination on tho fourth ballot, by the aid of Kentucky and Tennessee. Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, is proposed, among others, for president to the convention, but his Douglas proclivities may interfere. That selection, however, will not bo considered a test of strength. All expectation of a great gathering hero is abandoned. The Mills House, which was prepared for 1000, has only 100, so for, and other houses relatively few. Mr. Bradley, of Alabama, offers to bet 910,000 that Douglas will carry every southern state, it nominated, and yet he will not vote for him in convention. Charlestou, April 23. The Convention was called to order by Georgo Smalley, chairman of the national committee. W. F. Ritchie was appointed temporary secretary.

The question was put on the appeal, and tho chair was sustained. Immense cheeiing.

Brutal Assault ox a Catholic Priest. Wo learn from the Dubuque papers that a brutal assault was made upon Fath er McCabe, of that city, on Friday night last, by a man by the name of James Naughton, a river man hailing from Natchez. It seems that Father McCabe had sold Naughton, in 1856, some wild land, and had received payment of 8350 on it. Wild land having depreciated in price, Naughton intended to" forco Father McCabe to take back the land, and repay the 8350 he had paid on it. He accordingly called at the residenc of Father McCabe on Friday night, armed with a heavy ffiji&geon, whic i ho concealed under his coat, and, upon McCabo refusing to comply with his wishes, he rushed upon the defenceless clergyman and struck him a number of tremendous blows upon the head. His crns for help brought the housekeeper, who found him lying on the caipet sense' ss and streaming with blood. The villian fled from tho house, leaving his club behind him. Ho was finally arrested and committed for examination as soon as the unfortunate clergyman's wounds would permit him to testify in tho case. Thc People arc Arising. The recent elections in the North and Northwest tate as well as Municipal indicate distinctly that the people are sick and tired of antielavery agitation, and that they mean to put a speedy end to it. They have seen how it may completely clog the wheels of government in preventing the consummation of measures essential to the development of their best interests, as illustrated in the factious opposition to tho Mexican and Nicaragua treaties. The friends of the Constitution have gloriously triumphed over its enemies in Rhode I?land, and have almost as good quite so, as far as the result in November is involved as carried Connecticut; while the municipal elections in NewYork, Wisconsin, Ohio, .Maine, and elsewhere, furni.-h satisfactory evidence that we have much to hope for the redemption of each of these States. All that we reonire for the nehievemonf nf n more glorious victory in November than that of pciicci union in our ranks. Uns we are sure of in three weeks. We shall have as harmonious and energetic a party, as soon aa the deliberations at Charleston terminate, as ever at any time united the mighty democracy of this country. All eonscrvate men agree that it is a paramount duty to annihilate Mack Republicanism, and annihilate it so ellectually that it can never again raise its monstrous head. While it has even a quasi existence, patriots cau enjoy no repose, the country indulge in no prijrht anticipations of a brilliant future Chicago Times. From the Daily State Sentinel. Mr. Editor: Col. Lane, the Republican candidate for Governor, is held up by his party as a great civilian and statesman. Now, Sir, I remember well when, a few years ag, the Supreme Court decided the Maine Law unconstitutional, and also the local tax for schools, that Colonel Lane damn cd the Court in the most unmeasured manner for those decisions said they were wronr; that tlie .Maine law was constitutional i- well as the local tax law; and that the Court, in making these decision', were not maintaining the 1'iwofthe 1 in 1, hut were gratifying the dr.-ire of the Democratic party "to pull dow school-houses an. 1 build up doggeries." This he said in a re publican meeting, in the hall of the house of representatives, m tlie State-house. Now, what is to be thought of the candor, thfairness, the stability ot opinion of such a man? How utterly unfit is a man so reckless having so little ofthe calmness of deliberation in hi ui; a man who acts as though the idea of doing right, of acting under a moral responsibility never entered his thoughts; how poorly qualified is such a man to till the ollice of chief executive an ollice requiring so much of prudence, of impartiality, of caution, of deliberation, of judgment, of moral responsibility. AMICUS CUR LE. Hell in the Senate. There was another little Hurry in the Senate yesterday. The Sanborn ease being under consideration, Mr. Sumner likened Senator Mason to one ofthe Judges of He1. Mr. Mason replied that the language was such as as he hail never heard used among gentleman any. wnere, put he would not take it as personally offensive preferring for the Senate to say w hether such language was decorous within the Chamber. There the subject w as dropped, so, we presume, it is not indecorous to mention hell in the Senate, or for one honorable Senator to liken another to a prince of the infernal regions. Should there be farther dispute nu th s pojut, we advise the Senators to refer the matter our Representative, lion. John . (iiiilev. For several years he was a prominent I'nivcrsalist preacher and author, during which he investigated tin Satanic question thoroughly, and if there is a man who can tell whether Mr. Mason. or any other honorable Senator, my be likened to a judge of the lire and brimstone regions, Mr. (lurJey is that individual. bin. limes. The Herman's ox Rates. AI the Missouri Republican Convention held at St. Louis on Haturday last, the resolution, nomination I'dward Rates for the Presidency was violently opposed hj the entire body of German delegates, some of whom, who were appointed lielegates to the Chicago Convention, desiered thair names should be sticken off rather than agree to obey the instructions of the ConvontieL. Several of the delegates, prominent members of the party, declared most emphatically that if Rates were nominated at Chicago they would notsupjMrt him. The fact is the Republicans being to see that the w hole Rates movement is a (lesh in the pan, and the probability is that the whole thing will die out before the Chicago Convention assembles. AVw Alhnny Lttlyer. A serious division has arisen iu the Republican party of kansas. The Tope k a State Record, the organ of Hon . Line, is very bittr upon Gov. Ro'derson, and the reads him out ofthe Republican party. The reason of this oiidaught was Robison's testimony befere the Senat Investigation Committce.in which he declared that bane, Kedpath, Rrown and other leading Republicans were in favor of, and did keep up, a civil war in that Territory for a long time, in order to subserve their partisan purposed.
