VETOED.
CONCORD, March 28.
I l!ov. Darslown of WiJcjnsIn has vetoed the pro
i.ihiiory liquor law,
So, at least nys the Telegraph, and we
j presume It is correct. But what a high
i handed move is this veto! What is the
effect of it! le t us examine it and see.
The people, impressed with the great necessi
ty ol s Prohibitory Liquor Law elected
such r.icu to tlnir legislature as euiVod
th 111 to secure such u law. The law being
enacted, in steps ibis one man power, with king
ly prersgatlve, and says "1 forbid," and the
law la a nullity. The hope of thousands is
crushed, ami being Op long duferrcd his made
I he beu't ick.
Thouaandt of poor inebriates looked to1
thai law as the City of tln ir Iteluge from the
wiles o' the tempter. Thousands of wives,
and children looked to that law as the healer
of llu ir woes, and the balm lor all their lioub
' let, They bad bound il about With the flow- 1
'prBol Lopfi und mice mini' in fjney their !
lire-ii!e wore lb ' old time pleasant air.
Veora of sin and eorow, ;-uuble and woe haj I
fladd uud left the wretch;1 inebriate a he I
was before the wily lempter hemmed hint in,
and led him from the piths ol virtue lovo and
truth. But in a moment) even when hope
wan aboii; to he changed to fruition, the I
bright dream was dispelled, und all Ilia cll't
tering hopes Dung back upon his crushed and .
bleeding heart. Ciov. Btrstown could not
have realized whut a world ol blissful hopes '
he was nbulliiig out from the heart of lb)
drunkard when he vetoed that bill. I'juldho
bu' have Conjured up before him a ti the of I
ufTering ruin lias caused in tlio Slate of '
Wieeontoni he would have shrank in horror,
and withheld not his name.
Should the lime ever coma when the no
ble Buckeye State shall succeed in getting
a good prohibitory law (ami we hope th j
lime is nut lur di.-lun) we pray that a (inver
nor may not be found reckless enough to
dash the hopes ol tilt- thousands now groan- i
I ing undor the thraldom of rum,
rnuio men an- Un n great, some achli ve greatness, '
And Home inn, greaiuoat tbrusl upon thtm.'1
Ill these three aleatai WO presume we must
clasa DUrtell among Ibe latter, ttuce it wus
I the good will and pleasure of out fellow citi- j
' zem to sfeeaii us io the office of member of 1
I the lown council, without uur knowledge oil
I consent. Being elected, however, without
any r 1 - or itatfo.m, wo may slute here,
as is customary With persons who are elect
ed to plucei ol honor, .rnir or trust, that we j
! have "no friends to rew urd, nor no enemies
i to punish." Uur coteuiporariea need not be
' alarmed, aswe shall still continue to exchange

Wheeling—Central Ohio Rail Road.
We took occasion, some weeks since, to '
notice the very lair offer of Ihe "Hjllimi re
3l Ohio" und "Central Ohio" Companies to '
ihe city of Wheeling. Certainly it waa all
nsy, more thnn we mi 'posed would be
conceded. T.ie "7Vtns," tbe leading pa
per ol the city, counseled its acceptance.
Every w hi re it was huiled as the harbinger of
abetter era of a Iriendly feeling and extend
ed buolntM relation,
To our utter surprise and mortilicoton, we
learuid that Wheeling refused ibe propos,
thin. It seemed so absurd we doublell at
lint llie rcporl and declined ite publication,
but the proceedings enexed show it has been
officially considered by the Directory ol the
Central Ohio. We copy Iromllu. MonaaVlUo
Courier the resolutions and orders adopted at
its luie meeting:
We are Informed that, at the meeting of
the Hoard of D. rectors of the C. O. R. JR.
Co., held on the 23d InOt.i u copy ol t he pro.
position of the Prefideuts uf the it. St. O. and
C. O. K. K to the city uf VVueelng for the
construction ol a bridge acros the Ohio river,
and also, 'he correspondence ol the Chair
man ol the Wheeling Committee with the
Proaidctlte I f the t.vu roads, and with llie
withdrawal of the proposition on the part ol
the J O. R. R w as presented, ond ufti r
consideration, the follow ing preamble, resolu
tion and orders were Unanimously adopted;
WiiLl'.tis, This Company, since the open
ing if tbe Road to the Ohio River, have un -formerly
furnished evry focility in their power
fur the transmission of freight and passengers
to and from Wheeling) nnd tint notwith
standing this policy iheaaid city is ii jw an
Ideavoring to enforce the Injunction lately
granted against ihe Baltimore und Ohio Rail
Road Co. i which injunction is under.-toud tu
be, and was intended tu be, practically, oper
ative against this ( unipany, quite as much
I as against the aaid Bajtimore Si Ohio Rail
road Co., ind is as odious effort to force
t'hii trade and travel, which that city has nut
created er a de l in dovel p tig, Irom its short
est und least expen-ive r, ute- therefore be it
"Rr$0lt(i, That the act ion of the President
in making the proposition to the city of
Wheeling, upon the si bject of a hi idge cross
inn the Ohio River, and a!sr the Withdrawal
of aaid proposition, be and tin- same is berebv
opproved
"Ordered1, That the ex-Committee be au
thorized to employ special counsel to take
tuoh proceeding! as the Conetit ition and
laws ol the United States 'hall justify, to pro
tect this Company from the injurious results
j ol the hostility of ibe city of Wheeling.
"Ordered, That the President he authorized
to inquire and report at the next meeting o'
the Board, what amount uf available ,iock
subscription can be obtained for the Construe
. tion of a branch of this road to a point op
posite MuUtldlVillc, ill Marshall county Vir
ginia. "Ordered That the Superintendent be nu
thorined lu have the boat In the employ of
the Company on the Ohio River, extend its
trips in connection With i no of the prsienger
trains in Mnundaville, in Virginia.
"Ordtrfid, That the superintendent be au
thorized on consultation with the ex-commit
lee, to establish rates of ptssenger fare (on
the round trip ticket) from any pointaon the

Xauesville and return, as low as from any of
such points to Wheeling and return, und also
that for partios availing themselves of such ar
rangement, the freights bo equulized curres
pondingly." The necessity that imposed such action is
deeply to be regretted. The citizens of
Wheeling' must know that this uttsiupt tu
Ut; blu. h ifnrtt upon tttu HOIgUl sua navel
of Ohio will not be advocacy of its Suspen

business which her position should give her
Irom this side of the river. Tho resolutions,

that along the whole lino of the road u very

It is very true that Wheeling may throw tern

A Contrast--"Comly Between States"—
An Abolitionit Rode on a Rail.
Correspondence of he N. Y. Daily Times.
Greensboro, Qan mndayi March 18, '04.
Tin re wins ditfrteful mob here on Salur-
dsy, il.a 17th. I wn attacked by a crowd an
the principal stieci. On drawing near, I
saw a young man of bout 22 years standi nj;
lu the midst if the crwd. They were ask
ing hil name w hich i appeared he declined
giving. I inquired i s bystander what the
PtCltemeUt was. II informed me the youne
"hud dei larid himsell nu Ahslitiouist, and il
not agreeing w ith tin sentiments of ll e peo
ple, they hud a Hotioi to mob him." II
' w as told to leave the )ucq, but he declined.
Some said, "Hang bin!" "Tar and feather
him!" Rule him on a rail!" Others, more
modi rute, proposed to 'end him from town
All were in favor of lis leaving; anil those
that were the (eael excited advised him lo
leave, lie wns asked where be was from;
be answered, "Massmbusctts."
1 saw him leave the crowd, and go V the
I hotel. Soon he came oul and wulked pist
the crowd, go ng in tic direction of the de-
! pot. The leader of the mob, vho(l wsttold)
was the Sheriff, swore he anou'd not leave
! the tow n, and w ent in chasf pi him, tallow
ed by several others. Not knowing what
they might do, I coucladed to follow, aid if I
could be ul ui v servicr to tender it, be ap
pearing to be a strang.r as veil oa myself.
I On my w ay I passed some young ladies
, students uf tho Female College. They In
qui red what was the matter. I answered,
"They ssy I here is an Abolitionist in town."
Berne exclaimed, "Tar and feather him!'1
Others, "Hide him on a rai'!" I passed on,
and found him in trout of a minister's dwell
ing. As soon as 1 srriv.i', I lo'd ibe leader
I wished to speak with nfl a moment He
aaid, "if it was a 'unlit that ifrn, he would not
hear it.1' At this point til man broke, and
they after him. He jumped! p!cket fence,
and entered a dwelling hnus,went upstairs,
and hid himself in a watdrotl They search
ed the house a long I' rot be fee he Wl found.
I tried to reason with some, persuading them
to give it tip and let him go. Hut they were
1 10 excited, I did nut ki.o.v but they would
lynch nu , it I said much moo.
i I went up town, and tool the mob came
' back, making ull sorts of hid uus noises, with
their prisoner on a rail, csried by negroes.
I The Sheriff drew his pistol and would have
shot him if e had not interfered. Alter gel
ling in town they had a liegriibtiok the pris
oner's face. Some said "putin vinegar and
I nitrate of ellver," etc, After, blacking him,
I be was sold at Auctiut.. llov much he bro'l
- I can't loll, us I did not hear ihfl bldl, but
heard them crying him off w Isle I w as at tea.
The mob louk him tu a drinhing saloon, and
had the niggers bugging unAkissing him
He bore it like a martyr Tbcy said they
i would kill him If he resisted. A search war
I rant was procured to search bis baggage, to
! see if he had any Abolition documents, and
all that wns fount ony way tuap'elout were
' three copies of the New V. rk Tribune.
j While et the drinking suluon, they indul
i ged quite Ireely, uud. -unit got inuru then
they could beur. i,
The second in command of tb;s mob was a
flOtury hand, nnd, I should judge, a very poor
one, who never owned a negro, and more,
never will, if one may judge from hie ragged
appearance, The cars left at II o'clock in
the evening, and he wus put un board and
tent to Augusta. While ut Jhe depot the
Sheriff and Marshal had a fight, and thus en
ded tblf disgraceful mob of Greensboro.

tbe following facts:
The Slates of Msixt and Vermont virtu
ally uhol shed the (jsllows many years ago. ;
But one mar has since been hung in Maine,
and none in Vermont. And the recollection
of our readers will boat w itness with ours
that no portion of tin Union is more moral
or more exempt from sanguinary crime than
those two St ilea. The chiunpior. of Hang
ing is welcome to nu intstn that thtlf moral
ity is ciiuse ur consequence of the if diu-eof
llie (i allows, as be shall see fit.
Michigan was the pioneer State of the Fr e
West In the abolition of Hanging. Bight
years ago her Legislators eracled its down
fall. Immediately thereafter, atreiiu ms ef
forts were made to i estore It impelled we
: regret to say, by clergymen. But they di I
not prevail, and the S'ate has never recoil
ed from her advance movement. During the
eight years in which her luwshnve utterly ig
nored the rule of blood for blood, her popula
tion hat averaged some Four Hundred Thou
1 sand; it is in w over Half a Million. Fifteen
lives have been feloniously taken within her
'jurisdiction during these eight yenrt; or, at
Ihe rate of one per annum for every 'J 1 3 000
of population. In thai CKyt ihe aum oar of
human lives feloniously taken exceeds in
each year tboae thus taken in Michig.in.with ;
a population nearly equal to that of oui City,
in the entire periud of e;ght years. And
Michigan, though she ha but one large city,
has a very full share of Foreign b rn and of ;
rude border population miners, pioneers,
ietferlng men, Sic
We think these facts clearly ebtiblish the'
lafttjfut aboli.-hlng the Hallow-. We do
not suppose that men will wholiy cease to kill
where the Slate ceaaet to hang; we only in
sist that no more murders occur because of
this abstinence from legal blood-thcdding.
And if it be safe to leave man-killing to fel
ons, who would n it preler to httve his cbtl
dien grow up where the air is never polluted
by the spectacle of a gallows bearing its hor
rible fruit where the lesson of revenge il
never taught by the legal exaction of life for
life!
The iate Election changed llie political as
cendancy in Michigan turned out the pur'y
w hich had abolish 'd the gtllowe, and instal
led their old adversaries, from Whole ranks
the cry for a restoration of legal homicide
had mainly if n It wholly arisen. A leading
Whig bid i tor thereupon raised the standard
of repeal of the humane and humanizing sta
tute. But it met with no response from the
People nor from the Leg'slature' Not even
a show of support for the moment could be
got un in either House no report in its fa
vor not even a bill. We believe one Sena
tor and five Representatives wore t he full
extent ot the lorce that, could have been
mustered for Rope I had there been anybody
to lead tbe forlorn hope. Bui the project
fell still-born; und we presume there will ne
ver again be a serious effort mailt in Michi
gan for the restoration of the Callows:
In Indiana, a recent Legislature guve lo
each Jurv in a capital esse the power of ad
judging u convict to the Callows or the State

haven't yet heard of any one sentenced to

By Mr. Hunt: ''An Act to create a new
Stute uut of tho Territory of California.'
(A very lengthy and animated debate ensued
on the introduction of this bill. Mr. f.teven

the whole matter be indefinitely postponed.)

"Slate uf Culumbia," and is lo embrace all

The Wheat ('roi The Messenger, pub
lished at Ilium, bah Missouri, learns Irum lar
mers that the prospects lor s good wheat crop
throughout northern Missouri are more prom
ising than they have been for some years
past In Illinois ihe prospects for an abun
dant wheat crop are also good. We learn
from tbe Alton Courier, the editor ot which
paper hu recently made a trip across the
i .iuti.il portion of Illinois, that, "however
short ike crops might have been last year, it
has not deterred the farmers of the Stute from
seising every portion of favorable lime during
Ihe fall for towing their wheal, and the re
sult shows that there are at lean twenty per
cent, more acrea now in wheal than in any
previousyear. The weather bas been excee
dingly favorable, and if we should be blessed
with our ordinary spring, Illinois will have
an amount of wealth injthal single crop which
it would be difficult to estimate."

Englishman who bad them in charge, and at
about on o'clock brought them before .he j
Commiesioner for a hearing; und at about
halt-pa.-t 1 o'clock thirteen others were
brought in.
District Attorney VaKPVKE read the sec

and, after reading it, he charged the defend
ants with hiring pertont to enlist men for u

for this purpo a , a ,'endeiVOUS had neon open-1

He presumed that the defendants acted un
der the advice and protection of some one
I who might be considered a foreign Power it

I Ah Excellent Isvemtiox. Mr. Edwards
Campbell, ol Columbus, Ohio, bus made ap
plication for a new patent for a new inven
tion that we regard of very g'reut utility and j
importance. It is a process of making a
bond of union hstween cast iron at a voryhigh
temperature and 'gluts in a atate of fusion.
The purpose to which Mr. Campbell has ap
plied tbia invention, and with which it is as-
oj-iuCd in iiis cli.i n, is that of in king of glass
I the inu''?,iur of ibe boxes in which the axles
I o die wheels of carriages and machinery are
to relolve. The cdvaatagea of glass for this ,
, purpose have, long been 'indertood, but we !
, belitve a means of applying 'l lias not here
I tofure been known. It retains a tmooth
iiurfico, nnd wears but little by friction, and!
greoter uceuruiy can therefore be preterved; 1
it requir s but little lubrica'ion.as its temper-1
! ature it not materially increased by the fric-'
tion that would render any of the metals in- I
tensely hut: it is economical, costing even I
less then cast iron; and, from all these cause',
it is a safer reliance than other agencies. I
The tests tu which the specimen we have
seen lias been snojected at once convinced 1
us thut glass thus embeded in iron could tus- j
tain ex'raordinary pressure nnd tho mist;
powerful b'oWV but a doubl arose in relutiun
l i the inequality in the contraction and ex
pension of the twj metals, by sudden changes
in their temperature. Iron, however, expan.is'
and contracts by heat far more than gl tss, 1
and ihe casl-iron box, being expanded to its
utmost when the gluss congeals, all its after
tendency by this means mu.t necessarily be I
to embrace the glass within it; and this glass i
being in the form of an arch, with its busts
snd apex both embraced by the iron, it can1
yielJ to no power that is not capable of lit-
erally crushing il to powder. i
Mr- Cu npbell utTirms that he can at once
proceed to the manufacture of those b x -s,
ol ull sizes, fruin the fourth of an inch to
liventy inches in diameter. They will no
d- hi bejirmpily brought inti ms tor all kinds ,

highly appreciated, tor it it there that hu-1
