Deipocracy and-Slavery. 'The Richmond Smith, a Democratic paper, seems to have a correct appreciation of the intimate relations between Democracy and Slavery propsgandisin.. The following is an extract from a recent number of that }>aper: “From the days of Washington end Jef ferson, down to the present period*-U was the policy of the Federal. Government, to repress and restrict the expansion of Slavery, In 1855, ihectirrent of legislation was reversed, and by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska hill, the Ordinance of 1787 and the Missouri restriction, were repudiated, as.the prejudices of an obsolete age. From the reign of Mar shall to the succession of Taney, the South regarded the Supreme Court with distrust and hostility;. but the Died Scott decision ex hibits that ancient citadel of Federalism AS THE.CHAMPION OF STATE RIGHTS AND SLAVERY. From its organization (ill ihe Ballimore Convention in 1852, the Demo, cratic party, albeit the ONLY RELIANCE OF THE SOUTH, was compelled to observe a significant silence in respect to Slavery. Theta*.for the first time IT PLEDGED IT SELF DISTINCTLY AND DECIDEDLY, TO THE SUPPORT OF SOUTHERN RIGHTS, and by adopting the resolution of 1708, signalized its renunciation of the old equivocal policy. “This,- then, is the sum of the matter. The Federal Government HAS RISNOUNCED THE PO,VYER OF LIMITING THE TENSION OF SLAVERY; the South is guaranteed an equal participation in the common domain ; by decision of the Su preme Court, Slavery is protected in the Federal Territory, as well against the USUR PATION OF THE LOCAL LEGISLA TURE, as against the unconstitutional inter vention of Congress ; and by the judgment of the same against tribunal, tho personal and political subordination of the Negro is established as a principal of American Ju risprudence. So much for the Reactionary Policy in favor of Slavery and the Rights of the South. “Meanwhile, the public opinion of the North, as we have already intimated, has worked clear of the old Abolition element, nnd is daily becoming MORE PROPI TIOUS TO THE INTERESTS OF SLA VERY. . In fact, the Abolition Party is almost extinct, and the Black Republican Organization, which has riseji upon its ruins, \ expressly repudiates hs most I )obnoxious prin ciples. SO. TOO, IN REGARD TO THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY, WE AC KNOWLEDGE WITH PECULIAR SAT ISFACTION, THAT THEY HAVE YIEL DED TO THE UTMOST DEMANDS OF THE SOUTH!” Twenty foe one. —ln the recent elec lions the Opposition took a sweeping revenge for the loss of Francis P r Blair, Jr, On his political grave twenty Democratic victims have bled. _ Thirteen Lecpmpton ghosts crossed the Styx from Pennsylvania, four from Ohio, and three from Indiana. Well may the wrathful shade of Blair be appeased. The blow dealt upon the Administration may welt stagger its Northern adherents.— But it is at the South that its effect is most disastrous upon the fortunes of the Democra cy, The fate of those 'members ol Congress who voted for the English bill, destroys the confidence of the Southern Democracy in. their brethren ofthe Free’ States. The Washington Union may asseverate that the Democratic Party is one and indivisible, but its words.cannot change the-fcet. A split has existed. fur years running; along Mason and Diicon's line. It is 'widening, and soon no, bridge can cover . There is already little which is national in ihe Democracy except its name, and the time is not distant when no name, however popular, can longer conceal (he sectionalism which rends that parly in twain. VVe are fast tending to the formation of. sectional parlies. Hitherto the Democrats have boasted that this tendency found an;ef fectual barrier in their organization. . Butjlhe vaunt,jf true heretofore, is true no longer.

A boy was discovered in the morning lying in the grass of Claiborne street, evidently bright and intelligent, but sick. A man who has the feelings of kindness strongly developed, went to him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there. “Wait ing for God to come for me,” said he. “Why, what do you mean 7” said the gentleman, touched by,the pathetic tone of the answer and the condition of the boy, in whose eye nnd flushed face he saw the evidences of the fever. “God sent for mother, and father, and little brother,” said he, “and look them away to his home, up in the sky ; and moth er told me when she was sick that God would take care of me. I have no home, nobody to give me anything, nnd so I came out here, and have been looking so long up in the sky. for God to ' come and lake care of me, as mother said he would. He will come, won’t he ? Mother never told a lie.” “Yes, my. lad,” said the man overcome with emotion, “fie has’senl me to lake care of you.” You should have seen his eyes flash, and the smile of triumph break over his face, as he said, “Mother never told me a he, Sir ; but you’ve been so long on the way.—Af.

While Mr. Grow was making speeches in .this county, the Buchaneers got very indignant because that distinguished gentleman came here to meddle with our local affairs; Yet Mr. Grow said not a word about the county ticket, and came hero simply and solely in behalf of the Slate ticket.

Position of Itteii and Parties It is well,to, keep leading politicians always in view and loeabjcct to severest scrutiny not only-the record of thcir.-pasl, but their declared present pol- : and this, in order to ascertain the shifts the slips between profession and practice, as well as to distinguish clearly if those changes of position relate to principles or to policy. The most prominent, though by no means the ab lest, politicineaders now in the held, arc John W. FoUNETand Stephen A. Douglas— both men of ac. knowledged ability and both ostensibly hostile to the reigning dynasty. Mark, further : Both aim at the overthrow of the central power at Washing, ton; that'central power constitutes all that remains of the Democratic parly as an organization ; and yet, both declare their allegiance to that parly and and their unabated devotion to its principles. It (bl lows, (hep, either that these men are playing the hypocrite professing to venerate (hat which they secretly condemn—or that the Central Power has, as Mr. Forney alleges, divorced itself from the an cient faith of the party, taking the party with them. Let as examine into this schism In the Democratic Church, and learn If there be any real cause of hos* tility between the parly-and its whilom leaders. Has the so-called democratic party experienced any material change in faith, or policy since 1856 7 At that time, both Forney and Douglas were in full communion with their party ; Douglas, ns its mas ter-spirit in Congress, Forney, as its Napoleon In the field of active labor. Both stood upon the Cin cinnati Platform, declaring under the Consti tution, Congress had no power to protect the public domain from the blighting presetee of chattel slav. cry; that negroes, dnd their descendants, might be converted into personal properly and as such, might be carried wherever the flag waved. It was in op position to that pernicious doctrine that the masses in the North rallied around the Republican standard in support of John C. Fremont and the principles of the Philadelphia Platform. Opposition to the dis tinctive pro-slavery policy of the Democratic parly was the organization of the Ropubl.can party as it now exists. It entered its eternal protest against the further spread of slavery—recognizing no such construction of the Constitution • as should make •the masses aiders and* abettors of schemes lor the political aggrandizement of the slaveholding por tioo of the Republic. The' campaigns of ’54, *55, *s7 and *5B were each and All made upon this issue, to wit— opposition to the, extension of Slavery over another foot of the Public Domain- This is the ultimatum of the Republican party, as we under stand the position of the parly; olid we understood the policy of the Democratic party under Forney and Douglas to be diametrically opposed. Has that parly receded from Its then position 7 or, have either Forney or' Douglas, or both of them, receded from (be position occupied by them as leaders of that party la 18667- Now, if it cob be shown that neither Forney, Douglas nor the Democratic party, has abandoned the policy of Slavery .extension, but that each nod alt agree in tbe-snpport of- that infamous construe, tied oftthe Federal 'compact which virtually makes Slavery absokiUrand universal and Freedom loci-, denial and local, then (bi&apparenthostility between Foraey-aod Douglas and the Buchanan faction, will, appeaf- in=ils «eemiHg;and-not real. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. We affirm that neither the men, Forney and Doug. Isa, nor the Buchanan parly have abandoned the pol icy of slavery extension; in short, that those , men and that party stand to day jost where they stood in 1854,nnd again in 1856. ~ ~ Proof; Mr. Donglasis canvassing- Illinois upon the “ Popular Sovereignty” platform, against Mr. Lincoln, who slandsfairly and folly open the Phil adelphia Platform.- Douglas maintains that Con gress has no power to prohibit Slavery in the Terri, lories, and holds, with tbe Dred Scott Decision, that slavery exists nuder the Constitution - wherever it is not prohibited by positive law. Upon this ground he asks the people of Illinois to re-elect him to the Senate. Douglas stands where be has stood since 1854. In his Tarryldwn speech, Mr. Forney boldly and unreservedly declared that he still adhered to the doctrines promulgated in tlie Cincinnati Platform; in his speech at'Yonkers list week, he reiterated his allegiance to that Platform and alluded to the de feat of the National Administration in Pennsylvit. nia as a vindication of his pet dogma, “ Popular Sovereignty.” Read his speeches, read bis paper— yon will find no denunciation ot the Dred Scott De -1 eision, no evidence that he has' disavowed a single article of the Democratic creed up to the advent nf Lecompton. He is the same John W. Forney that he was in 1856. He has been wickedly consistent But you forget that the Buchanan democracy abandoned the popular sovereignty dogma when they adopted Lecompton, some one may say. We deny that that parly abandoned that dogma at that lime. If it has abandoned it at all it did so in 1856 —when the Administration refused to protect the ballot-box in Kansas; when it refused to protect the freemen of Kansas from usurpation and outrage at the hands of ruffians and outlaws—in all these ca ses preventing a free expression of popular will! Where were Forney and Douglas then 7 Were they champions of Ilia wronged settlers of that Territo ry 7 Did they then indignantly insist that those -outraged men should be protected in shaping their domestic institutions 7 NO ! a thousand limes NO! They stood foremost among the eompassionlees op pressors of that people ! Where was their boasted devotion to the dogma of Popular Sovereignly, then! ay, where was their sympathy for the wronged and outraged people of “ Bleeding Kansas” then 7 Where were these late converts to decency then ? . And what is Lecompton, that these gods of dis guised Tyranny should repudiate it 7 Must liters be outrage and butchery in every measure proposed by that party ere Forney and Douglas can champion it 7 The bill itself was but theoretical outrage ; but the operation of the policy of that party in Kansas during the years 1856 was Lecompton practically ap? plied. Messrs, Forney and Douglas could gulp down the practical disfranchisement of that people in 1856, but the bare mention of injustice in the Lecompton Bill turned their stomachs I Perhaps it did. We have no desire to belittle the services of Col. Forney in the campaign just ended. We propose to give him the credit due his efforts against the Ad ministration of James Buchanan; bat we cannot see anything essential in bis disagreement with the President, The disagreement, from its nature and cause, can be but ipmporary, or, if it prove more se rious, at best it can result in nothing better than .the nomination of Douglas in iB6O. Frankly, as be. tween'Dougtas and Buchanan, we should prefer the ' renominatinn and election of the latter, and fur the reason that the first betrayal of Freedom was st the hoods of the former. We care not what bis pro. testations may be, Arnold Douglas cannot be trusted. Our object in “ saying this say,” is to forestall. If possible, that unreflecting expression of opinion favorable to these schismatic democratic leaders, which finds vent occasionally in Republican journals. Wo desire to sound a 09 to of warning against lfi{y too ready endorsement of men but now avowedly and bitterly hostile to the principles we advocate. They seek not the triumph Uf Freedom, hot their own aggrandizement. The fact that the Court House is to be swept and* garnished, not for Mr. John W. Bailey, but for’ Mr. Simeon I. Power, is extremely .galling to certain of the Buchaneers. Mr. Power is a quiet, sLrailforwanf man, without inclination to blow his own trumpet Mr. Bailey, on the other hand, was modestly herald ed as one who was •* canvassing the county with the tread of a giant!’ 1 and was, moreover, all that was noble, chivalrous end manly. Mr. Balluy was a remarkable man; he was a remarkably flexible man. The man who advertised to tie himself in'a doublc.bow.knot for the edification of an ancienoe nt one shilling a bead, children half price, couldfi't hold a candle to the political acrobat, Mr. John Wv Bailey. The stage-struck gentlemen who proposed to take any part, from Richard 111. down to scene* shifter, could not vie with our acrobat In versatility of talent. To the question: u How do you stand ?’* he could reply : u Anywhere, sir; anywbers to accommodate you! 1 * Therefore, he occupied as many positions as there are shades of political faith among our-people. A rigid temperance man in one neighborhood, a roysterer, treating the crowd in an other. How the people could ignore such magoifi. cent talents by a vote of nearly two to one, we can not divine. His friends declare that he would have been elected had not the people lied to him and them. Not very likely, yet maybe; andjif so, then we can understand how, for once, Iving became the least of two evils ; since the alternative was to vole for Mr. John Bailey. If the people lied to him and them, at most it was but even exchange, and no wrong, therefore. We advise them to grin and bear it—gt was a Waterloo to-the hopes and schemes of Bucb anan democracy we know; but let them remember for their comfort —Faeilit dtsccnsut Avtrni! which being interpreted, meaneth : Hence, to your desti nation, it is all the way down.hill! In England, it is customary for candidates for elective place to set a free table for all who wear tbeir colors. This customjs a kind of petty bribe, ry of those free and independent voters whose brains are supposed not to be located in their beads. That it is bribery and nothing less, must be plain enough to all. Now, it is notorious that Mr. Bailey furnish ed free dinners for two hundred voters at the polls of Charleston, while at the polls in various other dis tricts the like kind of electioneering was instituted- We call attention to these facts for'the purpose of showing that Mr. Bailey owes his increased vote over his companions ou the ticket more tp. his flee drink and dinners'than to any personal popularity he may have had before the election. Certain it is that could the election have been delayed one week, the increase of the majority for Power would not have led enough of the opposition to have decently buried bis.competilor.

Since letters fail to slop this Bond-tide of temptation, we have been induced to venture this public protest. Kentucky against Indiana. From the Albany Tribune, Oet. 35. On Saturday afternoon, while nearly all our citizens were out at the Fair Grounds, some five or six ruffians from Louisville, pro fessing to belong to the police of.that ciiy, made a descent upon our place, and kid napped Capt. Horace Bell of Harrison Coun ty, Indiana, and by force of arms carried him into Kentucky, without any authority of law whatever. That our readers may belter understand the nature of this outrage, and what led to it, will briefly recapitulate some circumstances connected with it. About a year since, an old man by the name of Bell, together with one of his suns, residing in Harrison County, nearly opposite Brandenburg, Kentucky, were kidnapped and carried into Kentucky on suspicion of se creting runaway slaves. There was no pos itive evidence going to implicate the Bells in anything of the sort, the information being given by a miscreant, who has several in dictments for perjury hanging over him. However, the mere suspicion was sufficient to put the Kentucky chivalry m motion. Ac cordingly n gang of ruffians from Branden burg came over in the night time, armed with pistols, bowie knives and other weapons, but no warrant of law, and seized the Bells, the older one being seventy years of age. , While a portion of the chivalrous Kentuckians were engaged in securing the old roan and his son, another portion ot them stood guard over the old woman and a little girl, who were the only inmates of the bouse, beside the two kidnapped Bells. These gallant gentlemen stood over our lady with drawn weapons, threatening to blow out her brains if she made any resist ance, and yet she was too sick at tbe r iime to gel out of bed. The Bells were hurried over the river and lodged in the Brandenbtirg jail, and there confined and guarded, as criminals of the darkest dye, for more than nine months. The friends of the Bells from this side of the river endeavored to have his trial brought on, but this did not suit the conveni- ence of those who were prosecuting; they were not ready. An attempt was made to have them admitted to bail, but the Judge, in his wisdom, saw proper to fix the amount at 810,000 for the two —an amount so ex cessive that they could not give it. Col; Marsh of Harrison County, who had inter ested himself actively to procure the neces sary bail, was shot down in the streets of Brandenburg, in broad daylight, and bis mur derer was allowed to make his escape, no doubt-with the aid and connivance of the citizens of Brandenburg. This had the effect to intimidate others from..making similar attempts to serve the prisoners, and they had a cheerless prospeel before them, although guilty of no offense against the laws of Ken tucky or of the Union. In the mean time, Capt. Horace Bell and ftis brother John, who were residing in Cali 'forma; hearing of the condition taf affair's, : determined to return home to.lndiana and release their father, or perish, in the attempt. It was a noble and filial duly they undertook in perform, and most gallantly did they'per form it. All honor to them for the deed. They could have gathered around them a regiment of gallant Ihdianiansj.who, if need be, would not have left one stone upon an . other of the Brandenburg Jail. But they | chose rather to undertake the work of deliv [ erdnce themselves; and not implicate other* [in the matter. Accordingly, they went over i to Brandenburg in a skiff in broad day ; went [quietly-and unostentatiously..to the prison; | were admitted |o see their father and brother,- j and in-a very few minutes', the whole four i tyere on their way to the river, without any I particular violence being offered to any one, | except the little wholesome restraint imposed upon the lady who had the jail in charge. They were soon in their skiff and rowing for the. Indiana shore. Before reaching midway of the Ohio, the whole population of Brandenburg seemed to be in motion and rushing down toward the. beach. Capt Bell arose to his feel and gracefully saluted them with a waive of his hat. Those on shore soon opened upon him a furious lire of p stela, shot-guns, muskets, &c. This was a com pliment which the Captain well knew how to return with interest, and he opened upon them with his Derringer pistol—a six-shooter, that will kill a man at half a mile .distance as easy as at ten paces. This had the effect to disperse the crowd, most of whom took shelter in a blaoksmilh shop, the doors of which were pretty thoroughly riddled by the discharges ftrom the skiff. And thus ended the second scene in the drama. Whether the Bells were ever indicted for this summary jail delivery at Brandenburg, we are not advised : but whether they were or not, this 'kidnapping of Capt. Bell was none the less unlawful, outrageous and cow ardly. We understand, however, that a pony purse was raised by the high-spirited chivalry of Brandenburg,-and'a reward was offered for the delivery of Captain Bell to the public authorities of that county. What they pro pose to do' with him, after they gel him, we are at a loss to conjecture. He violated no law, either human or divine. He simply observed that scriptural injunction, to “open the prison doors and let the prisoners go free.” He broke open no doors, he forced no locks. What he had to do he did quietly and. in order, and then, with commendable - brevity, look his leave.. .And now, when they get him within: their clutches, we are much mistaken if they don't find themselves 'somewhat in the -condition of the man who -wort the elephant in a raffle—-theywon’t ‘ know what to do with him, unteqs, they glut . vengeance by hanging him upon some_ •Wce irj the neighborhood-f and- this it has" ; beett..shrewdly hinted they, propose to do. Bur lhis was no concern of Ibo blood hounds who kidnapped! him join Saturday. It was the inward —the money—that excited their unsanclified cupidity, andjrnpelled them onward to do the deed. What cared they about vindicating the violated) J honor of the Commonwealth —with them this love of mon ey waa the governing principle. These bloodhounds of Louisville bad been seen prowling around for aj day or two, doubtless with the view of catching Capt. Bell ofThis guard, when everybody should bo out at the Fair, and no one prtsent to a fiord relief. They knew full! well that Lou isville couldn't muster polieerjien enough to take him, under ordinary circumstances, without a legal warrant for hisfirrest. Hence, coward like, they watched opportunity to spring upon him when thorp; were none lo resist. Even then, had he been aware of their designs he would have rendered a fear ful account of more' than haifj of their num ber before they could have captured him. It may be ashed why Capti Bell did not keep himself out of harm’s wiy,knowing as he did, that a reward was offered for him 1 This is soon explained. He hlad. an appoint ment lo meet his sister here, who resides in Louisville, and he could not fblrego the pleas ure of seeing her from the fear of any conse quences personal to himself. After seeing his sister, he accompanied her and his mother (who is temporarily staying vyiih her daugh ter,) to the ferry-boat for tbp purpose of sending them back to Louisville. He then returned to Main street, and was hurrying down the same to get aboard the stage for Corydon, when theso Louisville covies sprang from their hiding places ant ’pinioned him before be was aware of their presence. At the same time they disarmed-him, and hur ried him rapidly to the ferry-bc at, announcing as they went, to the few wb)| bad been at tracted by the outrage, and who, unfortu nately, knew nothing of Mr.'Bell, that he had been guilty - of a foul murder, and they were arresting him for that. ; In the- mean lime the boat Had been kept in waiting for the kidnappers and their vic tim, and so soon ns they could burry on board, she cast off the cabin and-left, al though repeatedly warned by two of our most respectable citizens and one of our City Council not to do the same lime the mother and sister off Capt. 8., who were on the boat, implored; with earnest cries and tears that the boat) should, not be pushed offi But the officernof jibe boat.were obdurate. This ferry-boat, belli remembered, belongs lo Mr. Duckwell of {Louisville, and this heartless conduct on the part of bis em ployees we hope will be remembered by our citizens, | . On our return from the; Fair Ground, about sundown, a note was ppf in our hands from Capt. Bell, stating the circumstance of his abduction, and requesting us to see if something couldn’t be done Jot him. _ As a matter of course, we supposed the kidnappers would burry him off to '‘Ejrandenburg, in order to obtain their and we were in doubt at to what was beat it> be done. Shortly after nightfall we semi a dispatch to the Jailor of Louisville, inquiring whether Horace Bell had been lodged{<n bis custody, and after some considerable idelay received an answer that he was then in Jail. Shortly afterward (about 9 o’clockjjlhree of our citizens, as a self-conatiimed.CSommiilee, pro ceeded to Louisville to cmpljyr counsel and procure the release of the prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus; j But, unfortunately, they diij not procure the writ, until near midnight...ln the mean lime the parties got wind of what was going on, and a few minutes before, 1 , the writ was served upon the j/iilor by i*f.
