James H. Hart is the tUpublicaa candidate in this District. William Allen, Democrat,, the present! member, is a candidate for re-election. Allon was, vrQ believe, the only Demo crat member from Ohio who refused to yotti for & ;Southern, disunion r Know iKothing fbif Speaker atfthe commence nrent of the last session. In thia manly act he incurred the hatred of the leaders of his party, but won the respect of the people of his District. The refusal of Allen to vote with his colleagues, for a Southern Know Nothing, defeated the scheme of fusion between the Democrats and Americans, and finally elected Pen nington Speaker. As Hart, the Repub lican candidate, ia a man of. superior ability, and very , popular, t?e think he will be eleeted.v J The fact ; that Allen ehowed himself honest will lose him many.votes, as such a trait of character is wholly inconsistent with the aecessi tiea'Of the party, We lookx;i)nfideHty for a gain in this District. ! Fifth District." ; ' Lucas, 4o.; James M; Ashley is the Ropublican candidate, in this Distrist. II is the present member, and- one; of the best men in the Delegation. The District is a very close one usually Democratic. But with the talent, energy and known character of Mr, Ashley, and with the notorious J. B. Steadman as his opponent, there can bono doubt as-to the result. ' Ashley will be elected by an increased majority , , Sixth District. , Brown, &o. .No nomination has yet been made by the Republicans in this DiBtrfct."" It is now represented by How ard, a Democrat.. And although he has been , defeated, for renomination, and a rampant Breckinridge man nominated in his place, yet we suppose the Democ racy will go it blind and carry theDis trict, ..Republicans there think that with a good eanditate they can succeed, - ..We do not think so, and therefore give the District to the enemy. ; fi: T '; ' ' ' Seventh District. ' ' . '" Warren, &c. Thos. Corwih; is the Be p.ublicau . nominee in this District,. and we. suppose?. most of ourireades. have heard of Tom Corwin; 1 He will be re elected, as a matter of Course, and by the largest majority of any man - outside of the Western Reserve. t :. Kighth Piitrlet. ,.' ; .. ' ' Clark, &c. Samuel Shellabarger has been nominated by the Republicans of this District as the successor of Hon. B. Stanton, who declined are-election. He is a man of ability, and a sound Repub lican:.' There is no doubt at all of his election r j v r J. '. 1 . . ' Ninth Plstrletr . . i AVyandotte&c: John Cary, an hon: est farmer and earnest Republican, the preseht inember, has been renominated, and will be elected, as he deserves to be. He is proverbial for his integrity and practical good sense, and has the unre served confidence of his constituents. The District is a close one, usually giv ing a Democratic, majority. But the personal popularity of Mr. Cary carried him through at the last election, and will do so again. ; The Democracy were in; hopes , that he would peremptorily refuse to serve another term, knowing that he - desired to retire, at the close of the pext session, in which event they had strong expectations of carrying the District.: But when : the Republican Convention renominated him by accla mation, his fidelity to the Cause overcame his personal wishes, and he accepted. We have no doubt of his election. , . Tenth District r-'- i v?- 5';" v.'' Ross, Gallia,' Lawrence, &c. The Re publicans have nominated Hon. Carey A. Trimble for re-election in , this Dis trict. As in many others, there being no hope of defeating hi.tn. by a .straight contest,' the : leadcrg of the. Bell and Douglas parties have engineered a third party movement to accomplish their pur pose. But it won't 'win. The people are getting tired of trickery and shams, They will have open, fair dealing. .. O. FMoore, of Portsmouth, is the instru ment in the hands of the Democrats to effect the defeat of Trimble. But Mr. Moore is too well known how to . do much mischief. ' Disappointed in his aspirations . through the : Republican party, he lends himself as a tool to the Democrats, to gratify a spirit of revenge for fancied neglect, and because he can not get the office himself, hopes, in the bitterness of his soul, to defeat a better man. " : The motive is utterly contempti ble, and can only find favor in minds like his own,- and these, happily, we think are not numerous. Eleventh District. With y. B. Horton as the Republican candidate, this District ought to be, and we believe can be, redeemed. We have no desire to say aught disrespectful of his competitor. To the personal slang resorted to by the Democratic press we cannot descend. But neither Mr. Mar tin himself, nor any friend of his, will ever ask the people of this District to canvas the ability, the mental training, the business capacity and habits, the ex perience, the established character, the width of views," and solid statesmanship, with the power of influencing Congress for the benefit of the people, of the two gentlemen, and , then vote for the men best fitted to fill the position with credit to himself and his constituents. In these considerations there would be but one voice in the District. It is true, that in a party contest qualifications and fit ness are measurably forgotten, but not always. And here, without intending! any disrespect to Mr. Martin, we say, J with all kindness and candor, Mr. Hor-j ton has 6uch an advantage over his com-1 petitor as must be seen and felt by every j intelligent voter, arid which must tell j largely in his favor at the polls. Being ' the spontaneous choice of the Republi- j cans, he has all the benefit of his party , nominationand added to this, he brings ! into the canvas the qualities we have in dicated, which lift him far above the mere partisan, and give him a claim upon the thoughtful, reflecting, and intelligent of all parties, which must be worth sev eral hundred votes in the District. We use no unmeaning words, and; intend no partisan flattery; when we say that the entire people of the Districty 'whether they voteor him or not, have the fullest confidence in his integrity, and his devo tion to the best interests of the whole country. They know that no scheme of fraud, corruption, or public plunder can ever receive his sanction that no section of our broad land will ever be injured by any action of his. With such a candidate,- although the District haa a very heavy party majority against us,, we con fidently expect his election. This confi dence is founded upon reliable informa tion, received from all parts of the Dis trict which we fully believe indicates his certain election. 1 We count, there fore, upon a gain of. a member of, the next Congress, in the election of the Hon. V. B. Horton. --..'-' -i Twelfth District. . '. This District has a very heavy Dem ocratic majority. ; It is now represented by S. S. Cox, who is renominated hy his party, and will use all the arts of which he is master, to securo his return. But he has disgusted many, of the better claies of the Democrats by his tergiversation and dodging policy.. He opposed the Lccompton swindle in Congress with a zeal that knew no limits, and then voted for it. Leading men in his own , party do not hesitate. to-charge him with being bought corruptly and venally bought by Buchanan J arid so testified, under oath before the Investigating, Committee of Congress. ; He has now turned Douglas man again, but is trying to carry , both wings of the party. Sam Galloway is the Republican candidate, and ought to be elected but, ice fear will iwt he. r It seems incredible; that the , people, large as the : Democratic Imajdrity is . in the District, can sustain Cox in his shuffling and tortuouB cause. But,' as the Dis trict is largely Democratic, we fear, the changes will not be sufficient to giv it to the Republicans, although the Jour nal believes Galloway will certainty suc ceed. '.'' ' '"'".''' ' : Thirteenth District. . Richland, &c. John Sherman is the nominee, of the Republicans of this Dis trict for -re-election. Mr. Sherman is one of the ablest men in Congress, and has won a position in that body which has given his name to the whole country as a household word. . Many of our readers will see and hear him to-day. His District has laid the whole country under an obligation by his re-nomina tion. He will be elected, of course, and if he lives will be called to fill a higher position by the people of Ohio, his na ttve State ; He is one of the rising men of the nation, whose services the people will demand in a wider sphere hereaf ter. : : . .. ; Fourteenth District. lueaina, xc. narrison Kj. jjukc is renominated by the Republicans in this District, and -will be elected without any doubt. He is the present Representa tive, and has given entire satisfaction. His constituents have done well to place him again on the track. A better man, and more popular candidate could hardly have been selected,' and we look with entire confidence to his success. Fifteenth District. , . r Tuscarawas, &c, William Helmick, the present member, has been nominated by the Republicans for re-election. The District is a close one usually Demo cratie, but with the changes to the Re publican party during the last year, we consider the election of Mr. Helmick as certa.iii. ne is a good, sound, safe man, a reliable Republican, of irreproachable character, and .- very popular in his Dis trict. , The choice is a wise one, and we place the name of Mr. II. upon our list of successful candidates. Sixteenth District. Washington, &c. Wm. P. Cutler is the Republican candidate in this Dis trict. He is well known as one of the clearest headed, and honest hearted men in the State. His election is sure be yond a contingency, and will be an ac quisition to the Ohio delegation in Ohio, of which the whole State may feel a just pride. C. B. Thompson is -the present member, who has served his constituents faithfully, and retires at the close of the present Congress with a well earned reputation, and the satis faction of knowing that his place will be filled by a worthy successor. t . ' - Seventeenth District. . , "Belmont, &c. Thos. C. Theaker has beon nominated for . re-election by the Republicans of this District. The Dis trict is a doubtful one, usually giving a large Democratic majority. Mr. Theaker is a farmer of Bound judgment, and a character for integrity without a stain. He was elected two years ago by a very small majority ,a mainly on the strength of his .known character and superior fit ness for the place. There will be a strong effort to defeat hiitn by the usual scheme of running a third candidate in the hope of drawing off a few votes so as to let in his Democratic competitor. But the recent conversion of the Hon. E. Archbold, to the Republican cause, and his eloquent speeches among his old Democratic friends in Monroe, will do more for Theaker than the scheme of the Douglas and Bell leaders can do! against him with their third party. We j therefore class this with the Republican j Districts, and place Mr. Theaker among the successful candidates. Eighteenth District. Stark, &c. . No nomination has yet been made in this District; at least we have not heard of any. The probability is that Edgerton will be renominated. He is a. good man, and ought to be, elected, but we consider the District very doubtful:! And while opening for the ! election of the Republican candidate, we 1 shall not be disappointed should some kind of a Democrat or mongrel succeed We therefore give the District to the op position. Nineteenth District. , Cuyahoga, &c. ? A." G. Riddle is nom inated by the Republicans of this Dis-J trict, as the successor; of Hon. Edward Wade, the present able Representative, who, we believe, declined a further ser vice. Mr. Riddle-is a "man of fine tal ents, and a genuine Republican of. the kind they raise on the Western Reserve. He will be elected, and-' will make'his mark in Congress, in which body there will be no truer friend of freedom than he. - - - L -s 1 Twentieth District. .... Ashtabula, e. John HutChins, the present able and popular Representative, has been unanimously renominated by the Republicans of this District. Many of the people desired the nomination of Hon. "J. R. Giddings; but Mr. biddings addressed a letter to the Convention, per emptorily withdrawing his name, when Mr. Hutchins was nominated by accla mation. He , will receive by far the largest majority of any man in the State, of any party., Ashtabula county alone will give him at least four thousand! There is no doubt about that District. 'it Twenty-First District. - , , ; ' ' i Harrison,' &c. John A. Bingham, the present worthy member, has bean nomi nated by the Republicans of th'13 Dis trict, and will be elected, of course,,: He is an able man, and true as steel to the cause ef progress and Republican free dom. Ilis election is among the cer tainties of the future. . , . EXCITEMENT JN TEXAS. The Democratic papers are filled up with the most extravagant accounts of "slave insurrections" and 'Abolition " conspiracies in that' State. ' That there have been incendiary fires in Texas, as well as elsewhere," we think very proba blej but the Democracy are quite over doing the thing when, they charge ' the Republicans with the crime. But an in stance or two, from whatever cause arising, afford the pretext for the forma tion of vigilance committees, and the murder or banishment of all persons suspected of a love of freedom. It is well known that a large part of the pop ulation of Texas now consists of German, and other free laborers, and the fact that they will , not go into ' the negro trade alarms the Oligarchy, lest they should take steps eventually to , rid themselves of the curse altogether.-' Our readers know that the -ministers of the Meth odist Episcopal Church have been mobbed out of the State-their churches broke up and the members outraged, because the Church was supposed to be opposed to slavery. Other ministers have been bcateu, maltreated, tarred and feathered, and driven fronx, their homes with a brutality unequalled by "the fe rocity of the Druses in Asia. A free press, or the freedom of speech is no more tolerated there than in the Yerriest Despotism in the world. .. While all this is going on on one side, "incendiary'' fires are said to have oc curred on the other. Therefore the cry is raised that the . "Abolitiouists' are in a conspiracy, to liberate the slaves; A panic is raised and its consequences fol low. " Every paper, records the deliber ate murder of peaceable citizens, by the vijrilancc committees, on the plea of being accessory to these burnings. The number that have been hung and other wise murdered by these organized mobs is appalling, arid still the infernal work goes on. And the miserable partizans of these bandit murderers in the free States are attempting to make capital by a course of reckless falsehood of which very demons ought to be ashamed. rThe latest report is that there are two thou sand "Abolitionists" in one county, in citing the slaves to insurrection. The thing has gone so far that some of the better class of Texas papers are begin ning to fear for the result, and are try ing to check the ferocity of the fanati cism.. The llouston Republic, after re ferring to several fires, gives a far more rational account of their origin than that of an "Abolition plot." It says: " By many these outrages . are attrib uted to the fanaticism of Northern Abo lition emissaricsj but (lie true cause will doubtless be found in the whipping of an elderly preacher some months since, at Dallas, for some imprudent language made use of in a sermon, and tlie late outrages are the results of tlie vengeance of the old man's friends: We cannot and do not believe it possible that any white man, not actuated by a more active motive than mere, though mistaken, philan thropy could so far forget the dictates of humanity as to be willing to unloose these blood-hounds for .such the un bridled passions of negroes would doubt less make them upon almost defense less women and children. We have a little better opinion of humanity, though not a very exalted one, at best, than for a moment to suppose that the suspicion excited of Abolition incendiarism can be well founded in fact. At least, we trust they have been greatly exaggerated, both in detail and cause for general alarm." BggTbe Columbus Fact, heretofore neutral, ' with Bell-Everett proclivities, has raised the Breckinridge And Lane flag. In its last issue the Fact offers the following advice to the Douglasites: The Presidential Race Take off Your Scrub. In view of the fact that Mr. Douglas cannot possibly re ceive even one electoral vote, we hope that the more honest portion of our mis guided friends of the Douglas faction will insist on his withdrawal from the campaign. Let Douglas withdraw and have a sound national man elected in the person of the gallant Breckinridge. Draw off your quarter horse, gentlemen, and don't encumber the track with scrubs. BgfcThe "popular sovereignty" organs have much to say about Douglas, but never a word for Johnson. Why pay so much attention to the head of the ticket, and neglect the tail? Johnson is in favor of the Slave Trade and the Slave Code, it is true, but he is on the ticket, and entitled to. an equal share of praise and iridorgbment. Chillicvthc GaMte. ALL. MIGHT. The coalition between the Douglasites and Know-Nothings of the State of New York, was consummated by the Douglas State Convention; at Syracuse,. on" the 17th inst. After many adjournments, and committees of conference between the two parties an electoral ticket was agreed upon satisfactory to the leaders of both, consisting of two-thirds Doug lasites, and one-third Know-Nothings. Wpa jithis is' all right,; meaning thereby that good will result from it. It is ab solutely certain that the corruption of the leaders will drive from both factions what remains of honesty, or even decent dishonesty, within them. They frankly acknowledge that there is no hope of de feating Lincoln, except by a combination of all the factions in New York, so as to prevent his carrying that State, and thus throwing the election into Congress. Once there,, these . desperate gamblers have agreed to select Lane, who is to di vide the spoils among - the conspirators. Just look at the thingl The leaders of the Douglas arid Bell parties engaging to bring the Irish Catholics and "bloody Know.-NothingB" to the support of the same electoral ticket; with a written agreement that the Know-Nothings are to have one-third of the plunder, and the Douglasites two-thirds, unless the Breckinridge leaders will join the squad, in which case the leaders of the three factions arel to share equally! Thank God, and our free schools, the .success of such a conspiracy is simply impossible. We are quite sure this movement must add riiany thousands to Lincoln's major ity in New York. We found this opin ion upon the belief that the people are not so hopelessly corrupt as to sanction the-scheme with a full knowledge of the purposes for which it is concocted. We now predict and ask our readers, and especially our Douglas and Bell readers, to cut out and remember our prediction 4hat Lincoln and Ham lin will carry the State of New Yorlt, over this fusion ticket, by at hast seventy-five thousand majority! We kpow very well that the "fusion" papers are trying to make their readers believe that this mongrel ticket will suc ceed.' .They found their calculation upon the bargain of the leaders, arid: the sup posed stupidity and venal corruption of a majority of the people.; We base ours upon the assuriiption that a majority of the people are neither stolid nor corrupt enough to, sanction the scheme. In this faith we shall rest until the votes of the people shall determine who has rightly estimated their character. ; ' ' THE DAMASCUS MASSACRES. - A letter from Abdel-Kader himself gives us the most authentic account yet received, of the massacres at Damascus. The Emir writes to the" managers of the silk works at Krey: . -.' Dam iscts, Sttli, Zilhege, 1270 (July 18.) Dear and honored Friends: I greatly desire to see you, and pray Allah to pre serve you. I have received your hon ored letter, dated July 13, inquiring what happened to the Christians at Damascus. In answer, you are informed that on Monday, July 9, at about 2 in the after noon, the war broke out, in consequence of a punishment inflicted upon a few Mussulmans who had insulted the Chris tians., These Mussulmans, in a state of frenzy, ruslted, armed to the teeth, to the Christian quarter, and began slay ing, burning, and pillaging at the same time. The .-Turkish soldiers came to assist them, under the pretense pf put ting ' an . end to the disturbance, but making common cause with the rioters, and killing, robbing, and plundering with them. A i'lvc old Mussulmans made efforts to stop the business, butj the Turkish officers had no wish for peace, and, on the contrary, hounded on their soldiers against the unfortunate .Chris tians, the soldiers being aided by hordes of plunderers belonging to every-sect. Seeing matters were so desperate, I lost no. time in taking under my protection those unfortunate Christians. I sallied forth, taking my Algerines with me, and we were able to save the lives of men, women and children, and bring them home with us. ; ; This state of things lasted Monday and Tuesday, during which the rioters did not cease to kill, burn and immolate the Christians, without the Governor af fording them any help. I sent for M. Lanusse, the French Consul, and other Frenchmen, to protect them from the fury of the mob. On the Wednesday, un der the pretense of two Mussulmans having been found murdered, which was not the ease, the war was recom menced. : Yet Damascus has a Governor; but it is the same thing as if it had not one. For me, I deplore the disaster which has bsfallen the Christians. The places where their homes stood cannot be recognized; all their dwellings are re duced to ashes. The number killed is not yet known, but is estimated at 3,300. All the Europeans and Christians I have collected are in safety in my house. I provide them with all they want, and pray Allah to save the unfortunate Christians from these fanatics. Abd-el-Kader ben Maiii-eddin- Donglas In Tennessee. The Nashville Union says: . The Bolivar (Tenn.) Democrat comes to us this week with the Breckinridge instead of the Douglas flag flying at its mast-head. The former editor an nounces that he has retired from the po litical department of the paper, which he has placed in the hands of Louis M. Brown, . Esq., during the campaign. Thus have two Democratic papers in Tennessee deserted Mr. Douglas since his nomination, leaving only three to ad vocate his election, while twenty-five advocate the election of Mr. Breckin ridge. Mr. Timoleon Cravens, one of the Yancey-Breckinridge electors for . the State at large, said in his speech at Leb anon last Saturday, that the Douglas men are "the nutrid excressence of the Democratic party." Compliments between, the brethren of the great Na tional Democracy are getting decidedly interesting. Lexington (Ay.) Observer. Bra? Charlotte Smith was walking 1 along Piccadilly when the tray of a 1 butcher's boy came in contact with her! shoulder, and soiled her dress. ' "The deuce take the tray," she ex- j claimed, in a pet. i "Ah! but the deuce can't take the j .i-ay," replied the young rumpsteak, with the greatest gravity. j From the Cincinnati Gazette. TERMS OF THE COALITION. The authorities materially differ as to the terms on which the Douglasites and the Know-Nothings of New York have joined hands. One of the chief engi neers of the enterprise was .brooks,, or the Express. He may be supposed to know what the conditions of the-compact really were, but he" can hardly be relied on, under all the circumstances, for a full and candid disclosure of them. He practiced a vast amount of jesuitism and diplomacy in bringing the Douglas ites within his Know Nothing embrace. In the midst of a game that cannot be played out for some time to come, he is not the man now to show Ins hand, lhe same concealment and duplicity required thus far in his work may be looked for to the end. -.- v , When closely pressed with the ques tion, however. altogether disregarded in at least the published proceedings of the late Bell-Douglas coalescent Con ventions whether the ten - ostensible "Union" men on the Douglas Electoral ticket are to vote for Bell, or to go for Douglas along with the remaining twenty-five, should the ticket be chosen, the Express declares in plain terms, that the aforesaid ten Electors "will, if elec ted, vote for Bell and Everett in the Electoral College." . '- This seems to be unequivocal. With no conflicting i testimony, in the case, it ought to be regarded as conclusive. Un fortunately for that result, however, we have still more explicit and reliable ev idence in direct contradiction of this as sertion. Mr. Oswald Ottendorfcr, edi tor of the New York Staafs Zeitunq, was nominated on that Electoral ticket for the Fifth District. He, too, had a hand in effecting this coalition arrangement, lie was behind the scenes at Syracuse, and, like an honest Teuton,, speaks out very plaiuly as to the details of that po litical intrigue. . lie says replying to fa Republican German editor; and not to his own Know .Nothing confederate, Brooks "the statement that the thirty five votes of New York should only be cast for Douglas in case his. election could thereby be secured, and that oth erwise the eight (ten) Union men on the ticket might cast their votes , for Bell; and that, therefore, of every German vote twenty-seven thirty-fifths would be counted for 'Douglas, and eight thirty fifths for Bell is a lie." Now, here is a question of veracity between the frank and free-spoken Ger man supporter of the Douglas ticket, on the one hand, and the jesuitical Ameri can on the other. Brooks says, without any -condition, tbak the ten votes are to be cast for Bellt .. Ottendorfer denies that they are' to! be cast for Bell, even under a contingency, but are all for Douglas. On their face the proceedings of the Syracuse Convention fully confirm the statement of Mr. Ottendorfer. If Mr. Brooks speaks truthfully, there must bfave been a secret stipulation, ex pressly intended to cheat such honest Douglasites as Mr: Ottendorfer, who in dignantly repels the idea 6 any such arrangement. ' , ' ' ; "; ' But Mr. Ottendorfer, goes further He had taken particular pains to' provide against any misunderstanding' or mis construction of this sort.1 The whole matter was fully canvassed at Syracuse, and he' would have scorned to suffer his name to go on the ticket at all, except with the positive assurance that every man on it should be unconditionally pledged to vote for Douglas, should the ticket succeed. ' Here is his statement, as translated for the New York Evening Fost: "At the Democratic State Convention at Syracuse it was expressly understood and in the proceedings of the State Com mittee it was declared, that the,Electors appointed by this Convention, in case of their election, should, under all circum stances, cast their votes for Douglas and Johnson, and that the r.esult of the Pres idential canvass: either in this or any other Stateshould in no wise influence (Or' change) this determination that, therefore, every vote given for this ticket shall count wholly and entirely for Dong las and Johnson. "Under this supposition, and with this understanding, the Elector for the Fifth District was nominated; under all other circumstances he would have perempto rily have declined the honor. We have been thus particular about the terms of this New lork coalition, because the subject possesses a deep in terest for both American and foreign born voters here. The coalition is in itself disjrustins: to both those classes of our citizens. The accumulating evi- dence that it is based upon cheating and fraud, and is to be sustained by false pretenses, renders it still more odious. It is easy to see that such a combination generates no strength. It will be rather an impediment and a weakness to the Douglasites, and the ruin of every American who dabbles in the muddy mixture. Let us Frighten Them. ' This is virtually the language of a portion of the Breckinridge party at the O-.-il. V. T ouutu, spuKBU Wtlil IClUltUJUC iu tuc J.IC- publicans. As an instance, we copy the following deliberate statement from the Charleston Mercury s review of the polit ical aspects of the times, and we bespeak for it the candid attention of all readers: "The Presidential election turns upon a single fact. If the Northern people believe that the Southern people will dissolve their connection with them, should the Black Republican party suc ceed in electing Lincoln to the Presi dency Lincoln willbe defeated. Should they, on the contrary, believe that the Southern people will submit to Black Republican dominion, by the election of Lincoln to the Presidency .Lincoln will be elected. You can't frighten Northern people any longer, Mr. Mercury, with such silly threats. You are afraid to go out of the Union, and our people know it. Chilhcothe Gazette. Approaching Elections.

The Case of Waggoner. ttt o . . , , , nr u ni. oiewari, ana iu ciiaei eaver were before the Police Court yesterday I morning, to answer the charge of kid- j napping the negro James Waggoner. There was but little testimony intro duced, but it-Was shown that about a year ago, Waggoner was met by Stewart at Jthe. corner of Vine and Front streets, and engaged to go to Fulton, to perform some sort of work. They proceeded up the river bank until within the limits of Fulton, when Waggoner was dragged to the water's edge.Jand forced into a skiff, Stewart holding a pistol to Waggoner's head, threatening to discharge it if he made any resistance. At the skiff, Stewart was assisted by Weaver, who also assisted in conveying Waggoner across the river.-- Once in Newport, the nnfprtunate- negro was charged with being a fugitive slave, and was instantly thrown into jail. 1 ,The occurrences from that time until he was eventually liber ated, are too familiar to the public to be rehearsed again. It was also shown in evidence, that Waggoner and Stewart -were . acquainted with each other at ueorgeiown, U. After the examination, both of the accused were committed to jail in dei'aolt of two thousand dollars bail, to answer theeharge of kidnapping, before the next term : of the Court of Common Pleas. -Gin.
