Isor•The Lebanon Courier truly remarks
I that the Locofoco papers have much to
say against the Americana, but in their de
nunciations they generally sat up objects
of straw 'to knock them down again.. They
attiibuto much to the American party,
which that party, so Tar as wo can.learn
from its avowed principles, does not in the
leant endorse. In this .way they seek to,
makeltpital ; but its unfairness, is trans
parent. Wo have carefully ex:indeed ev
.ery declaration of ,principle that has thus
far come to us from any American organi
zation, and in 'them we are unable to find
either that intollerance or bigotry, which is
charged on the party; but on the contra
ry, they nvovr a determination to protect
religions liberty,--:just the contrary to that
which'their calumniators attribute to them.
The Looofoco party has always disliked
every thing American; but%the time has
passed when it 'can carry,the people with
it in its Unpatriotic snubbing of• our own '
country. The issue is now being fairly
joined between, those who are friendly to
giving America a nationality, and those
who will Prostitute her to any depth of
. •
humiliation' and disgrace to accomplish
their selfish ,ends. On thew grounds we
meet them, and may "God favor the right."

l
gives the l a
olkiwing particulars of the at
tempt made on Thursday night to blow
up the dwelling of John Tucker, Esq.,on
ilin.outsk iris of that city :
By the investigation made on Friday
morning, it appears that a keg of powder
was placed in Mr. Tuckees chamber on
the first floor of the house, directly under
the head of his bed. .. An anger hole had
been bored through the floor into the cel
lar, and a train laid to the cellar window,
where it was easily fired - lions gie street,
running directly by the west side of his
house. The explosion was of such vio
lence as to raise the bedstead on end, hurl
ing Mr. Tucker from. it. 'Entry parti
tion on the lower floor of the bouie 'was
thrown down, and a considerable portion
of the westerly,entj side of the house was
thrown some distance across the street;
all the window, in the lower story .were
broken, and most of the sash thrown out
of the castings, rnd the east' and south
end of the house were wrenched in such
a manner that it is surprising the house
i l rhould have stood so violent a shock.—
The floor of the room over that in Which
' the explosion . took place seifled , some
three feet, rendering it difficult for the in
mates to escape in the confusion attend
ing the first alarm, - which they sup Posed
arose from the house being an fire. Near
ly every article of furniture in the house
was destroyed. One visitor suttee that
the only object he saw whiCh appeared
uninjured wis . an old-fasfiioned,' Clock,
which - had stopped at the moment of the
explosion.
l'he house was of wood, substantially
built, handsomely finished, and nearly
new. it was two stoats high, with a
basement, and an ell, on . the south. The
damage we have heard estimated artWo or..
three thousand dollars and upwards.-1 .
There 'were six or eight persons in, the
house at the time,. all of Whoni were a
sleep.. None of them sustained any inju
ry except. Mr. Tucker, who was hurled
from his bed by the violenee'of the explo

MISSOURI S LAVERY CON VENTION.--The
convention of the friends of slavery in
Missouri met at Lexington on the Nth.—
A large number of delegates were present,
and after a temporary organization Sena
tor. Atchison' and Col. Doniphan were
Called on to address the convention.—
They declined, however, and other gentle
' men addressed the meeting. 'expressing
theinselites in favor of establishing slavery
in Kansas by all laWful- means. The
convention having been permanently organ
ized by the choice of W. T. Wood as
presiding officer, resolutions were -intro
duced requesting the Legislature of Mis
souri to pass acts retaliatory upon and
discriminating against - the products of the
States of Massachusttis, Vermont and
Michigan. Proident Shannon, of the
University, Ly invitation, delivered an ad
dress, setting forth the scriptural argument
in favor of slavery, The speeches were
very ultra and inflammatory. Much ex
citetnent preVailed. Same propositinn
were strongly,objected to. The conven
tion was still in session at last accounts.
DEATU CAUSED BY A CORPSE.-111
farm house near Liberty, Missouri, the
mistress ofthe house became, ill one_mor
ningi having, according to symptons, • re
ceived an attack of cholera. Her husband
had left the house at day-break, and her
only daughter, who was then with her,
was sent for a physician. •• Altet a few
hours the latter arrived, and was met at
the door by the sobbing girl with the cry,
""she is dead !!!) Ile.tvas conducted to . the
room wher the corps lay;:examined it, and
• directed the daughter not to allow the in
terment until twentylour hours haditlaps
ed. He had scarcely dtine: so when the
corps noildedsignificantly. The daughter
saw the motion, and was so LOrified that
she fell down dead•on the spot. It is a
well known fact that persons who die of
cholera retain the warmth of the blood for
a long time, frequently alarming bystan:-
slanders by contraction of the muscles.—
The ne4hbors,lowever, thought the doe
ter had something to do with it, and he was
compelled toren away. '
ATTENTION, 13Eatinss'i—A .. eminent
publishing, house in Paris, it' is stated,-
is engsget in issuing , a series, of the
mint distinguislted female beauties in the
world, which when completed, is to in
clude ten of the handsomest ladies in
the United States, and these Barnum has
undetaken to engage. In order toetintulate
competition, he offers $5OOO, in premiums,
ranging Irmo $lOOO down to $l5O, to be
distributed, according to the dfferentdegrees
of beauty. Ladies accordingly are request
ed to- send in their daguerrotypes to the
Museum. None will be received later than
the 15th of October. Great is humbug, and
the Prince thereof is Barnum.
