The Unnatural Parent.
The Black Republican party, ears tine
Doylestown Standard, since the adoption of
the two years proscription act in Massachu
setts, remind us in their treatment of their
own enactment of a young girl, who having
made a misstep, becomes a mother without
being made a wife. She naturally regards
the result of her criminality in the-tight of a
disgrace, and sometimes endeavors to relieve
herself of the responsibility and shame by
dropping the miserable Infant et the door of
another; thus transferring the care of mater
nity from her own shoulders to tho4e of
another. The Black Republicans have been
flirting with the Know Nothings, and the
result of the connection has been the birth of
the illiberal and proscriptive act against
foreign born citizens. It proves, however,
that the offspring is nndeni.4bly a clog upon
the parent, and she at once drops it, and an
emia that it is no child of hers. What are
the f.zctsl The following extract sets the
matter at rest, and shows beyond all doubt
that whoever may be the putative father, the
Black Republicans are unquestionably re
sponsible for the birth and existence of this
most illiberal and odious offspring of fansti
, eism and religious bil , vtry—fit child of /such
progenitors:
" The Legislature which recommended this
amendment to the peoplo of that State., con
sisted as follows: Senate—l L-publicans, ;
Democrats, 3; Americans, 0. llouso—Re
publicans, 197 ; Democrats, _9: Americans,

each House—ull the beeincruts toting against
it. And when it sane before the people it
VMS Noted for by the great mass of the Repub
licans, and by them made a part of the Con
stitution of Jlassachusetts."
What is Black Republicanism?
Those who may desire an answer to the
above interrogatory are referred to Massachu
setts, the blackest of the Black Republican
States—the State which in IS:iG gave Fremont
nearly double as many votes as Buchanan
and Fillmore together. In Massachusetts a
negro slave who escapes firom the South is
permitted to vote after one year's residence ;
but a while man, who comes from Europe or
Canada, is not allowed to vote until two
years rigs he has become legally, by natu
ralization, a citizen of the United States.

Public indignation meetings are being held
in different parts of Ohio, to pass opinion up
on the repudiation of Chief Justice Swann by
the Republican State Convention. on account
of his decision in the Oberlin Rescue case.—
The Columbus Stateistaa says that, by this
attempt to punish a just judge for doing his
duty, the Republican party has cut its own
throat. It predicts the defeat of the Republi
can nominee for Judge to fill Judge Swann's
place. at the coming election. There is no
question but that the action of the convention
has the disapproval of a large portion of the
Republicans of Ohio. and that' sooner than
appear to sustain it by Toting for its candi

of age fell into a well in Buffalo. The well
is sixteen feet deep, and contains fire feet of
water. The child went to the bottom, strik

hand, grasped the pole which rested against
the wall of the well. fly this she raised her

The new Locomotive, " tiettysburg," has
been running regularly more than a week,
and fullg °owes up to the highest expecta

very smoothly, and demonstrates its great
power by passing over the hoariest grades
without a perceptible diminution of speed.—

half-past three o'clock. The fire originated
in the drugstore of 'Whitridge& Quinn, from
which it spread np and down Main street,
until twelve business houses were destroyed,
besides a number of out-buildings. The loss
is estimated at $35,000, much of it covered
by insurance. Mr. JACOB CHAMBERS. Jewel
ler, formerly of tills place, was among the
sufferers—his loss being probably $4,000,
and insurance $l,OOO. Many saved large
Portions of their stocks, but Whitridge &
Quinn lost everything, including $l,OOO in
money belonging to the American Express
Company, which hail arrived the evening be

opening the safe, after the fire, it was found
that the door had Leon unlocked and the
money taken. The books in the safe were
not injured. It is believed that the robbers
