And the bolt, day next day—was it nob indeed, a thanks giving doy S, S. Mug. Illinois. A friend of ours ha* communicated (he following statement,- which will help to ac count fur Ihu ill success of Senator Dougins in the northern part of Illinois, where, previ ously.io the late election, he stumped nearly every county, and his belter success in the more southern part of the Stole. Our friend aays that mote than a-half n century ago, when he" waa quite a boy, he lived in a vil lage through-which passed the thoroughfare of the “ movers,!' asSheertigrants. were then called, South Garnljno, with occaticmally a from Georgia and West ern VJrginio, to. “ the Illinois arid Indiany." Nothing bul inability—povarty-t— hnd prevan-. tol their owning slaves in the countries they left.. But they thought correctly enough, that it would not be befct for them to remain where Slavery existed all around them, giv ing rise to a state of things in which they could not share, but which pressed them down still lower. The pressure they attributed, not to the owners of the slaves, but—ns ail very ignorant people in similar circumstan ces are wont to do—to the slaves themselves. Owing to this they pretty rancorously hated ail colored people, whom they called “nig gers.” These movers were not much en cumbered with any kind of property. An old cart, a poor horse, o small, thin cow, maybe a cnlf, a bed and a few bed-clothes, a wife and plenty of little ones, with a toggery a goad deni (he worse for wear, and that suf fered tho winds of heaven to visit the skins of the wearers rather more roughly than was pleasant, generally constituted the equipment. They did not come up to the Grecian stand ard of beauty, and were not all remarkable for intelligence. They succeeded in getting over the Ohio .River, but not being able, for the most part, to go further, they remained as so much drift in the bottoms, near the water. The lower part of Illinois is yet call ed Egypt, as indicating the darkness that covers the people. The northern part of the State is settled by a class of emigrants of very opposite intellec tual and moral development, and the speechi fying of Senator Douglas made manifest how long diverse’impregnations will show them selves, and how much more difficult it is— especially when .Liberty is at stake—to be guile an intelligent and educated community than an ignorant one.— N. ¥.

Tribune, Otsego, Michigan, Dec. 16 Hurrah for the women of Otsego I Thirty strong, and backed up by some fifty men, the women of Ibis town recently turned out, and went to work for the practical enforcement of our Prohibitory Liquor Law, which had been evaded by designing men in our midst for the sake of gain. The women marched to the “ groggeries” with a* jo hand, nnd soon cleared the rum-barrels of iheir alcohol ic contents, demolishing the barrls, and spill ing out the “ rum.” Two groceries were served thus. The women then proceeded to the village tavern, and compelled Moses, the landlord, to give up his illicit traffic in the contraband article—threatening to-serve him as they had the fiber groggeries. He prom ised to-accede to the wishes of the ladies. The chief heroine was Osmund Smith’s wife. The women will ■ be , brought before the Court i but there can be nothing' done to them, aa they have the sympathy of-the greet -majority of the people of the county; and no county haa suffered more from (he pernicious efieots of the liquor traffic than has Allegan. Judge Abner Pratt, of tho Supreme Court, and who presides over the Courts in this dis trict, say* thatoor women ought-to have h reward-for thair bravery. Pratt is strongly, on their aide. There Is no danger that; if the women are put on trial, they-will succeed.

L Bul iu political aiini ari bat jhsl hdw emerging from the rudiniental'sphefo of develop meat. It is now striving to overcome the disadvan. tnges of a somewhat hasty construction, and 'assu ming * form more systematic and permanent. ' Judging the new party by ita'actloh in the late coolest in this State, it would seem at first thought to hive been, decidedly anti-slavery in sentiment Put upon further investigation. Ibis first view loses somewhat of its plausibility. So far os it may have contributed to the election of Judge Pollock, wo be lieve its direction to bare been puhdy accidental, and not because he .was a thorough and consistent anti.Nebraaka man. We cannot for a moment en tertain tho idea that hostility to,Southern agression; was in any degree tho directing agent. Wo mean by this, that hostility to the Administration bo anti- Slsvery grounds, formed no essential consideration willi,tile new parly as a party j and probably every candid qian will ; admit tills. t . ■ If hostility to the Slava power, even in it* incipi ent stage, had bcen-a budding principle of the new party, the whole State ticket might have bcdn olect ed'of anli-Slavcry men and by majorities compara ble with Mr. Mott’s. Moll was a known, rabid pro- Slavery man; yet ho received an unprecedented ma jorlly. Judge Pollock waa a known snli-Nebraska man; he did not receive one-fourtfi of Mott's ma jorily. And we think the latter's opponent scarcely more obnoxious to the American sentiment litau Gov. Bigler. What then? Why, Mr. Darsio was known as anli-Slavery, and Gay. Bigler as pro-SUv ery to the marrow—spile of the asseverations of ex- Speaker Chase to the contrary. It may be objected that Mr. Darsie was the nomi nee of the Whig party \ and that that party is in a minority. That Gov. Bigler was the nominee of the Democratic party, which wat in tho majority. And further, that the American disaffection was greater in the Whig ranks limn in the Democratic. Now, wo are not alone in disbelieving this last as sumption. Comparatively, the disaffection is about equal, probably. As to the second objection,— it is notorious that the Democratic party was not a unit. Tue passage of tho Nebraska bill had bred a great disaffection in its very heart, and severed its leading strings in every part of the Slate. And so great was this disaffection, that, while it is admitted that Pollock received a part of the American vote, it is by no means certain that ho would not itavo been triumphantly elected on the* anti-Nebraska issue 1 alone. T.tc coalescence of the disaffected democr als with thcwliigsand Free.Soilers was amply sufficient to defeat his opponent. And it is only necessary to compare Pollock's majority with Mott’s, to prove that the Know-Nothing vote was divided between the two Gubernatorial candidates. As for the Temperance question, wo are rather in clined to think the now party led it out of the can vass altogether, considered as a direct issue. In other words, it was neutral; it did not let the ques. tion interfere with, or govern its preferences to an appreciable degree. “ll made no sign" more ex pressive than electing one of the moat rabid of anti- Maine Lew men Canal Commissioner by an over whelming majority. But then, it helped elect a Maine Law Governor; and Ruin's triumphs were moat signal where the K. N. vole was the lightest. But this last fact has another explanation: Rain's triumphs were the most signal where the foreign el ement predominated ; and where that element pre dominated, Americanism did not. In view of ail these facts, the conclusion that the now party has preserved a kind of neutrality on the Rum and Slavery questions in this State, seems in evitable. And since in the nature of things it can not long'preserve neutral relations with theso great moral questions, it behooves every true ftiond of human rights to inquire into the objects end tenden cies of Americanism, and thus solve its probable re lations to the humanitary measures of the day. We .shall not attempt to conceal our suspicion that if it ever becomes a national parly, it wilt be pro- Slavery and anli-Prohibilion. This suspicion is not without foundation; Turn to tbs late election in Now York. There was an evident coalition of the Know-Nothings with Uie Silver, Grays, for the de. foaling of Clark, the Temperance and anti-Nebraska candidate. They preferred Seymour alter Ullmunn, who was not a whit better principled than Seym our. Besides, it is generally conceded that the K. N. inanifcsUlions In New York, were decidedly Bum nndpro-Slavcry. Then, what is the testimony of Massachusetts? There, tho new party’absorbed the Frec-Soil faction it is true. But it appears that the absorption ensued Upon the choice of the Republicans between two evils,' Possibly the Republicans hoped to give an anliiSlsvcry turn to Use political sentiment of that Stale by uniting with the new parly to break down the old .ones. How well they hoped may be guessed at, since the re-election of Pr. J. V. C. Smith-, Alayor of Boston, by the American party. Those who.re member the case of the fugitive, Burns, may also remember that, this same cowardly Mayor Smith volunteered to go beyond bis official duty to secure (ho return, of (he fugitive into slavery; aft£ all to vindicate the loyalty of the city of Boston I.

The appearance of'Mrs. E. Oases Suits before the Wcllsboro' public as a leclurcr, and the crowded houses which she drew for three consecutive eve nings, may be considered os one of the most Signal triumphs of a liberal end progressive spirit over that intolerant, and generally dogmatical spirit called Custom, ever witnessed, perhaps, in this section of country. Mrs. Smith not only created a favorable Opinion of her abilities as a .lecturer, but also a high, and wo think just, appreciation of her excellence as a woman. As a lecturer, our people speak of her in terms of high praise. As a womsn, everybody is delighted with her. And we are certain that a high, cr estimate is already being set upon the nobility of a true Womanhood, than previous to her advent here. It is ascertained that n woman may bo a public lecturer and still not be a “ bold, bad woman.'’ And-furthermore, that a strung-minded woman isn’t sack a fright as some folks imagine. Well, il is a comfortable thought, that public opinion docs- pro gress, indeed il is, Ucr lecture on Madam Roland was a splendid pro ductian, abounding in eloquent passages and brill iant rhetoric, fused together with true poetic fire. Seldom, peyKsps never, was the euphony of the An glo Saxon longue belter evidenced, thau in this lect ure. Her third lecture was free, and ovcrflowingly at tended—of course. Margaret Fou-er— one of the most brilliant minds that America ever produced— was the subject, and the lecturer showed herself thorougly acquainted with her subject. As we list ened, Margaret Fuller as wo have imagined her, only hotter brought out, and actualized, seemed liv. ing and breathing before us. We should say that there was a* much true poetry in that lecture ns four-fifths of aor modern pacts manage to crowd in to a volume of 200 pages. O" A friend, writing from Tioga, requests us to give our views upon the practicability of passing a Prohibitory Law tills winter—which is all right. We devoted a column to this very matter some weeks ago, and staled therein that (he people of those counties which gave a majority for Prohibition had a right to demand the enactment of a Prohibitory Law to lake effect within their limits, without the slightest doubt. And wo have no doubt but that the Legislature will 'grunt thorn tbo protection they decided for at the ballot-box, if k does not enact a general law. There is no reason why two-thirds of the people of Pennsylvania should be mdde to suffer for the vice and depravity of the other third. If the people of Berks and Schuylkill counties prefer Free Trade in bad liquor and is train of horrors, why, lot them have il. But don’t let their depravity gov,' ern the Legislature in making laws for the civilized and moral portions of tho Stale. Tioga county ex poets a Prohibitory Law cerluinly. ' And we hove the fullest confidence that Mr. Baldwin will Urge the enactment of soch a law with the unremitting ener gy of an honest heart. We see no evil for the tem perance cause from snob men, but much good. It Is from the Representatives of the Maine Law dis. trims that wo look for and expect relief from the oppression of Rum.

Bui we. were pprsuaded this kind of jeal ousy of our excellent law would cease, and we hove had. t ho'pleasure in ou.r mission through the- county to ace it give, place to most,decided approbation, on a, more pariicu lar study and understanding of,, the..law.

If these things could be considered ns ihey ought, no man who has a home would hesi tate any longer as ip the proprieiy of sharing his part in'the noble lash of ibe education of ihe rising generation. No roan would pay so freely his Slate lox which must go to pay ilie Gadsden Treaty of ten millions, (he Na vy and Army expenses of twenty or thirty millions more; or his county taxes, which must go to build rppds or bridges he ,mny never travel, or jails, we hope be may never gel in, and thou grumble’ about bis school lax. Of the general principles of the law we will only add »hat we have expressed more at length vocally in various pnrls of the county, ilia I the best educators’in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and of several other Stales, who were consulted at the lime this law was under consideration at Harrisburg, have pronounced it, on several accounts, the very best-school low in tbo'i Union or in the World. Besides, if we are to hove a school law fp r i| )e education of the masses, then the principle on which our prp. sent law is founded, viz: that the property of a State should educate the State, is not only most righteous, but the only one equita ble and practicable for this Commonwealth, since we have no school fund like New York, Connecticut, Indiana, &c. Were we not an incumbent of the office of County Su perintendent, it would come with much bet ter taste; and apparent.disinteresiedugss from us, to advocate most strenuously the; impor tance of this Supervision. This could he dune triumphantly from the testimony of the best educators in the very Stale where this office has been overborn and rode under by political consideration, which, alasl 100 often has blighted the prospects qf the most promising educat ional.systems. Though tve have fourid prompt aid in rf,2ny boards of Directors in the county, yet we have lic.ird much complaint.lron) citizens j also, for which Sib’.'ool Directors are not res ponsible, that \vha( ever luC law is, they have no schools at nil, or miserable geologies for schools. This results in part from lire /T-'D- j ore to raise "sufficient money, or 'a misappli cation of ihe money, or a want of proper town supervision, the directors not being suf ficiently distributed through the districts, to gether with a too general .want of.interest in the whole subject, by directors and parents. Our impression is therefore being more and more confirmed, that our law would be bet ter executed if we had, instead of six dirad tors in each district, n Town Superintendent, elected with special reference to his qualifica tion and interest, to co-operate - with the County Superintendent,, to appoint a director in the neighborhood of each school house, to lalce that-local supervision, and these side directors with the Town Superintendent would constitute a board to discharge the duties in-genera 1,.n0w devolving on the Di rectors. ’This Town Superintendent being paid say ten shillings pur day, as in New York, for actual, necessary service, would.be a responsible, reliable officer, whose atten tion to the duties could be commanded and depended on.

It is a region, ns all the world knows, of remarkable conformation. High mount ain ranges) isolated volcanic peaks, elevated lands, deepl valleys, br< ad fertile ptaijis and extensive alluviums are here grouped together, relieved by large and beautiful lakes and majestic rivers, the whole terming with ani mal and vegetable life, and possessing every variety of climate, from torrid heats to the cool and bracing temperature of an eternal spring. The country is very rich in mines,- nhd has abundant agricultural resources.— With ports on the Atlantic and Pacific open ing (0 Europe and Africa on the one hand, and to Asia and Polynesia and Australia upon the other, no country can he more favorably situated far commerce. The people gener ally, (hough madejip of a variety of races, are well disposed and peaceful, and are in a great measure free from jtolilioal passions and social crimes. It is very true that the differ- I enl government have been subject to disorders and revolutions frrm the date of imiepend- I once from Spanish rule, but there has been n decided and most palpable progress, and the lessons which hard experience has brought have nC' been in vain.

The managers of the present expedition are san guine of success. Perhaps they are ton san guine. We think it certain that they wilt [ meet with difficulties which it will require eminent sagacity and prudence In overcome. It Is fixed that the policy 6f the rolony shall be a purely peaceful one; but it isofien hard to preserve such a policy in dealing with on inferior race, when force so open proniNcs to be more expeditions and effectual than reas oning or bargaining. Yet it is certain that no such union of lh“ different republics as that proposed can be effected by coercion or j intimidation. The bond of union mu|l con sist in confidence and confidence can nply I come from friendly action.

At one time, there ap heared to be a disposition to lake him from the custody ,ol* (he officers. On reflection, however, they determined lo let the officers convey him lo prison, and thereby discharge, unmolested, the duties of office. Thereupon, the prisoner was escorted lo ibe pul and locked up. Bui- ere ibe jailor,' protean, bad I airly mured, the room in which the prisoner was confined was entered by the crowd, the.prisoner taken out'and. mounted on a rail. Thus elevated, he was paraded through the principal streets of the town; aU tended by.numbers of our citizens, and pre ceded by a band, somewhat u cnlulhurnpian,” so far as the musical instruments were con cerned. After this, be was taken to the ca nal, thrice ducked, and returned lo the custo . d y ’il the jailor. la the evening a meeting of the citizens of the place was culled ul the Court house, to take into consideration the nature of the out rage, and to give public expression lo the fee lings of indignation entertained by the citi zens toward the perpetrator .of an act, at once so dastardly, cowardly and unmanly.— The meeting was called lo order by inviting Hr.

We take it, that the day is far dislanl, when our people will be again called upon lo avenge the perpetration of an outrage of a similar nature. The lesson, which hap been 'aught ihe offender in, this instance, is one which be will long remember nod may he ihe means oi saving to other unprotected fe males, the pain and mortification of similar assaults ami-indignities. This peuplb have thus summarily shown, that they hold any man who lays his hand on a lady, sate in af fection, as a base und infamous wretch, be yond the pale of common civilly and wholly unworthy the countenance of civilized men.— Nor is this all. They b®ealso demonstrated and resolved, that the mill ’who is such a pol. troon, as not to protect and defend the wifeof his bosom, from the ruffian assault of a das tardly “ woman-vhipper," is no belter than the ivrelch who inflicts the blovyp, and equally wjiJi unworthy the countenance and re sneci m nil civi.hzed c d.TJinuiiiiies. Gov. Reeder on Popular Sovefx About the mtdd'e uf November, a meeting was held at Lt-vi>nwmih City, Kansas Terri tory, composed of citizens of Miss uuri, nud of the citizens of Kansas, which appointed a Committee to wail upon the Gov ernor of the Territory, with a memorial re questing him to take immediate measures for ascertaining (he population of thd Territory, nnd to order an election for members of the ‘Legislature. The-Governor thinks the Mis sourians are getting a little too fast—that the citizens of Kansas are capable of managing their own business, nnd should be allowed the privilege of doing it—at .least, wo infer as much from the subjoined extract from tiis re ply to the Committee. We hope he has the courage to act as well as talk : “ It may be very desirable for gentlemen to Hve among the comforts of the States, with all the accumulated Conveniences and, luxd* rise of on old home, and make an occasion* 'al expedition intd our Territory, to arrange our affairs, instruct our people and public offi* cer*,' and control nur Government j but" h dues not suit ui, and I much mistake the peo. pic of this Territory if tltey' submit-' to it.*— One thing I amebrtein 6Jf—thnl having sworn to perform the (Julias of the office oi Govern or wi(h-fitielit;p, i l shall renounce or resist it in friend or tw, and tvithoul regard to the lo- cignty.
