The accusation against Dr. J. Q. Ayer, of
Lowell, for stabbing IL. S. Fay, Jr , the
Treasurer of the Middlesex Mills, has been
withdrawn because the prosecutor found that
no complaint against him could be sustained.
Thelact is that Dr. Ayer merely defended,
himself as best he might. with a penknife he
happened to have in his hand, against a
cowardly assail mole on him from liellind,
with the premeditated intention to dishonor
and punish him for the exposure he has made
and is making of the wrongs practiced by the
°Moors upoomporiour nianulacturingcorpor
scions. This community not only upholds
the Doctor's slcedeaetul defence of his poi
son, but it heartily approves his course in
publicly denonncing the Tie it rude Fam

property for private ends. Dr. Ayer's Wed•

Gov Maw,llln, in his recent message !ci
the Legislature of Ken.lnlay, discusses at
length and with moult power the Mischievous
tendeocies of Northern fanaticism, and in re
ference to the sialui of his own State, tis(s
this emphatic and encouraging Icing,' tge :
“What says Kentucky f Caluunly and

out threats, without excitement, with the
full responsibilites that devolve upon her in
the present momentuS crisis, she will act
with the dignity, moderation and Wisdom,'
that becomes her. Under the broad shield of
the Constitution she will gland by the Um

die, as she- has lived for that government
that protects her. She stands fortified by j
the history of tho past, doubly intruncitedin
her impregnable opposition, and that is, to
stand by the compact of the Conatittltion as
our fathers made it."
The following is tho closing psgtsph of the
