There was no other evidence against the fellow than that the watchman had seen him near .the berth whence the money was stolen. The passengers and officers of the boat tied the poor man, and leading him ashore, shaved off one side of his head, strip ped off hfs clothing, and stretching him on the groom), one large man standing on bis neck, and another on his legs, w,hile two or three stood over him, whipping him with big sticks for lone hour, until he was almost dead. The lynchers were remonstrated with by one of the passengers, but ho was soon given lo Understand that he would be treated in like ujbnner if he interfered. The poor man tog ged his persecutors 4o kill him at once and put him out of his misery, but the cowardly villains preferred lo torture him to death. — We have this statement from a most reliable gentlemen who witnessed the affair himself, and is loud iu his denunciation of the officers of the boat.

Madison,, Jefferson, end pumerous other statesmen, gdmilted the power of Congress to legislate lor the territories. Jefferson said the 1 Territories were minors and mutual property of the states; and it was not only the privi lege but the duty’of the stales through their ' representatives, to' make for them aft “need ful rules and‘regulations” and in accordance with this belief was enacted the ordnance of ’B7.' Douglas &Co then made a most im portant discovery. After the constitution had been in existence three-fourths of a century, Tlris-maiiwas the first to discover the inability of Con gressto legislate for the prosperity of (he Stales. Douglass had always been a firm supporter of the line of 1820 until that ses sion of Congress. Like Lewis Cass, his mind had undergone a change'in regard to the power of Congress, and he contended that the people of 1 the territories had'"a right to admit, but not the poWer to interdict ah very. This was the self-government embodied in the Nebraska bill. The people have a right to admit an acknowledged evil, but have not the power to prevent it; and that after viola ting a solemn compact of national honor. Every one knows the opposition that bill met in both houses of Congress. ° Over two hundred speeches were delivered and six months of time occupied in its discus sion, nnd it finally passed by a small mnjor j ity. This Bill was introduced by a northern member, passed by a majority of northern Members, and sanctioned by a northern ad ministration. This Bill abrogates the line of 1820, and gives slavery a chance in territory of greater extent than the “old thirteen states.’,’ Nebraska and Khnsas are the gar den of America by nature, nnd are destined to be of great use to the slave power, unless the Missouri compromise can be restored. There are at present 31 states, of which fifteen are slave stales, covering nearly one million of square miles. The Slaves num ber nearly three and a half millions, valued at two thousand millions of dollars, ll will be ihen seen that thpre is one majority of free stales, and if Kansas and Nebraska are ad mitted as slave suites, there will be a major ity in favor of the south. The question may perhaps arise as to “wlini □ the evils of this institution, and for what |is the entire north denouncing it I” 1 would j simply say, that it is almost impossible for a i man to describe the principles of slavery as they really are. Words fail to perform the required task when they come to describe the miseries of the Slaves, and the cruellies inflic • led upon them by their hard-hearted masters. I The people of the north wiio have, never seen inny of the works of slavery, can have no idea of the principles upon which it is found i ed- The northern Journals Irequently con : lain articles concerning ibis institution ; yet [many f.ul to hppreciale ihem. Nine-tenths [ of the citizens of the free stales are no doubt ; I ignorant of ihe evils and wrongs that go hand in hand «ith the slave trafllc ; and being un conscious of ils wrongs, are nol properly pre pared to arrest its progress. The people of the Free stales are manifestly opposed to the slave traffic, but have been lulled imoo child ish inactivity by the duplicity of their favor ite politicians. The Democracy of the nortli reposed the utmost confidence iu Cass, Doug lass & Co., and were betrayed in (he buseest manner. Such men have numerous political j friends who trusted ihe whole matter to them, Jand did not enquire into its bearings until it j was 100 late. If we had union of sentiment 1 properly diffused throughout ihe nonh, we I should nol be disgraced by the passage of 1 Fugitive Slave laws, or Nebraska bills; and j until the north becomes as one man, nothing of importance can be done on this question. On slavery, the south is a unit. Ii is not rent asunder by political dissensions; but s'ands firm, and endeavoring to gam every possible inch of grounds, on which to plant the blighting principles of ils accursed in stitutions. It is natural for a man to eulogise his own country, and at the same time not perceive the good qualities of other nations, lie will discover with an extraordinary skill, the un just laws of a foreign country, he will exam, ine their faults wuh a microscope, and de nounco their form of government as being despotic, and still not perceive the imperfec tions of his ow n. The Allied powers of Eu rope are at present engaged in war with the Autocrat of the Russias, and trying to limit his despotic sway. Monarchiul Europe saw his increasing power and audacity, nod was aware of his growing hostility towards neigh boring nations, and became convinced that his authority would bo supreme if he was permitted, undisturbed, to swallow up whole nations. The whole world is an eager spec tator of the scene, and every mail brings us something “important” from'lhe seat of war. While ihe ciiizens of Ihe Uuiied Slates are watching > eagerly the state of affairs in Europe, they are fostering a viper, whose fangs are of the most deadly character, add is increasing in strength with the most rapid strides. Within a few years it had rose from (ho dimensions'of an infant and now occupies the position of a giant, thrcaining to totally annihilate Freedom in this continent. ’ Every year gives the "peculiar institution" more strength, and every legislative act more power. Every act of Congress, concerning slavery, during the last half century has only served to bind more lightly the chains of the slave, and deprive the Freemen of the north of the rights und privileges bequeathed lo them by their revolutionary fathers. And slavery has continued to increase from time to time, notwithstanding the attempts of the north to prevent its farther progress. Al though-it has as yet been in the minority, yet with the assistance of Northern Dough faces it has been successful in every case, (to be continued.) yurea S. Sodgcr, esq.

Mr. Ewtoh .-—Perhaps lihe mass of lhe’ freemen of this County'have, ne'er inquired why the Legislature of .Pennsylvania, ever formed such an ill shaped senatorial district as the one of which this County is a part.- Perhaps many do not remepiber what .Coup ties compose it, here is (he list: Tioga, Potter, McKean, Blk, Jefferson’ and ’Clear field! The extremities of this territory by the mpat direct roads, are about two Hundred miles asunder. The Southern line of Clear field County is considerably South of the center of the Stale. Now to the Causes that brought forth this monstrosity 1 The leading politicians at Harrisburg, and in this County, who were so intent Upon saving the Union, four years ago, that they supported the proposition that was brought forth allow ing slave holders to remain in this slate six months with their slaves, can explain the whole matter. They only needed to under stand addition and subtraction to enable them to pick out counties enough joining ns which had always given majorities enough, for. the natural allies of Slavery to nicely over bal ance the majorities-that-'Tioga and Potter Counties were capable of giving bn aha side of freedom. The true object was'to- crush out, or at least smother, by.an overpowering force in those south-western Counties, the strong feeling which had manifested itself in these two counties in favor of a “proviso’’ prohibiting slavery in al.l (he territories. To show how completely the object of the Union savers was accomplished, we have only to refer to the acts and voles of B. D. Hamlin, the only Senator yet chosen m this new district. Many acts and resolutions have been intro dused in the last three years, directly or in directly referring to Slavery, and, 1 believe in every instances, the voice and vote of Mr. H., has been on the side of the oppressor,— thus no doubt, misrepresenting the true sen timents of the majority of his constituents. This same policy of crusfiing out the sen timent of freedom in the hearts of the honest masses, has been carried out m all parts of the State, The honest voters of this county can cor reel this wrong as for as this district is con cerned, if they chose to pull their full strength, and give the Republican candidate, if he be a good man, at least fifteen hundred majority, and 1 do not see why we should not give eve ry good man on our ticket at least twenty five, hundred majority in this County, ft is of the utmost importance that we should send a oood man (o the Senate, for he may deler mmc the character of the neat United States Senator, who is to be chosen by the Legisla ture next winter. BACKBONE, From Ike Milwaukee Sentinel, Aug. 'l. Horrible Harder and Robbery. One of (he most diabolical murders in the history of this State was committed between 11 and 13 o’clock of Wednesday night last, about a mile east of West Bend, Washington County. A farmer named John Muehr, a native of Bavaria, and a man of excellent character, was about retiring to bis bed, when a young man named George Debear, or De Bear, came to (he door and asked for a drink of water. The (firmer replied that “He would not ask him to drink water in nis “house—he would give him something belter and taking a mug, raised the trap door ot the cellar, and was going down—his head being about two feet above the floor—when De Bear struck him with a hammer, the steps, fracturing-his skull and knocking him down, the trnp-door closing af.er him. Mrs. Muehr, seeing her husband thus siruck, ran lor the woods to call a neighbor. The murderer chased her, armed wilh a knife, and overta king her, aimed a stab at her neck, cutting her head half off! She fell instantly, as though dead. The hired boy who was alone in the house, and witnessed the attack upon Muehr, had run for a patch of com, and the murderer, after killing, as he supposed, ibe woman, and hearing the boy screaming murd der, chased him through the cornfield, anr coming up with him siruck the knife clea through his neck, killing him instantly, De Bear then returning to the house, ana robbing it of $6O, which Muehr had received the same day fur a pair of steers- which ho had.sold, set fire to ihe house, and went for the body of the boy, and dragged it back to the house, with the intention, it is thought, of thtowing it ioio the flames ; but left it close to the burning, house. Meantime Mrs. Muehr had recovered sufficiently to creep away, ana when the murdeier came to where he had left ihe body of the woman and found it gone, he appears to have fled. Mrs. 'Muehr succeeded in crawling on her hands and knees to a neighbor's house and gave the alarm. The Sheriff of Washington County and his deputies started men m ail directions to search for De Bear, and he has offered a reward of $lOO. Muehr formerly lived .in Milwaukee ; was we understood when here a butcher, had been married about one year, and bore a first-rate character among his neighbors. The name of his hired boy we yvore unable to learn, and all the par ticulars we could obtain were that his father and mother resided in Port Washington. Mrs. Muehr was not expected to live an hour, and her husband, wilh his skull com pletely smashed in, was expected to die every moment when the officers left. The murder er, who has relatives living in Mayville, in ibis Slate, is on American—had worked in that neighborhood for upward of a year — 'six mbmhs for Jacob Young and the same length oftime for Christopher Young. While with the former, Mr. Young had at different times from $OOO to $BOO in gold in Ihe house, .and of this De Bear was well aware. Ha is about twenty years of age, six feet high, light complexion, light brown hair, long, thin fade, narrow chest, stoop shouldered, a scrofulous scar on the right side of his neck [ wore a while know-nothing hal. Lateu.—De Bar was arrested next day and lodged in jail. Such was the fury of the people that judge Lara bee was obliged to hold a special Court to try the murderer. On the day of trial a Grand Jury was empanneled, and an indictment found against him for mur der. He plead “not guilty,”'and was re manded to jail, whither, surrounded by the military, he was burned. The sheriff had not proceeded far from the Court House, when the mob dispersed the military and in.
