' Well; that is rather specific. It is classical; and will pass into future uso as one of the happiest epigrams of the age. "The Douglas party, and the Know Nothing party," in the language of Dr Fries are lldead dogs," '. and stink at that. And he is npt prepared to-"cuddle under dirty ' bed clothes with them. Go it Fries! the Tower will soon be built! But now comes the Cincinnati Times, the or gan of the "Bellgerines," and brings his "hod" full. In the course of a long ar ticle, from which we extract, the. Times says: - : "The fusion contagion has reached Ohio. The Enquirer, and other Douglas organs, are lustily calling upon the. State Centra1. Committee of that party to as semble and tender terms of compromise to. their 'Union allies.'. The Central Bell and Everett organization and the. Electors of the same party, have enjoyed a consultation, in our city, with the view of ascertaining the sentiment of the Bell and Everett voters as to the same point. And for the sake of furthering the project the . electioi), returns have been falsified, stubborn facts distorted, and avast u-mount of editorial whistling done, to keep the fu sion courage up." ; The Times, after showing that no hon est purpose can be subserved by "fusion," continues: ' ' " "r "This fusion movement is a sharp dodge of the friends of Stephen A. Doug las. It is a shrewd measure to save the sinking fortunes. of the Illinois Senator, and like everything heretofore connected with the Douglas movement, breathes death and destruction to all who partic ipate in it." ! And after showing that the Bell party had been deceived by the lying preten ses of the strength of Douglas, into fu sing with them in other States, the Times continues: "We consider the New York fusion an act of deliberate suicide. It has already insured the triumph of the party it sought to defeat, and if extended throughout the North, will. strangle the infant Union , , , t , 1 ,i "With our understanding ofthe senti ment of the people and we have been a close observer for many years toe be lieve that arty cause will be damaged by a union, with -the Democratic party.' We have ah-eady thrown out the opinion, and, bached by ike exhibit of the late elections, repeat it, that all combinations with' the Douglas party m the Northern States, will only serve to mcrease tlie relative Republi can strength. If Lincoln ia elected, to Douglasism firsthand a fusion with Douglasism second and lastly, may be attributed the sectional triumph." Surely, a few more such rounds as that will finish the Tower, And here? we have one from the National Democrat, of Cleveland, the organ of Breckinridge Democracy in Northern Ohio. It reads as follows: '"The Cincinnati Enquirer has shown an anxiety to fuse with the Know Noth ings it has invited the dark-lantern party to make common cause with Doug las. That paper and the Statesman are as much united in feeling as the Siamese twins are united in body. They seek their associates out-of the Democratic party -seek them among the most bitter, proscriptive ana unscrupulous party.! tnat ever aisgracea the country, because they wish to use them in future. . Men who do this who coalesce with the enemies ofthe Democracy, are no longer with the Democratic party, or belong to its organization. They are, as were the Swiss.in the days of the Revolution, but the hireling soldiers of those who would pay : r them best. They aided Know Nothingism in its triumph in Kentucky they will ever aid it in its conflict.against the supporters of Breckinridge and Lane. " With such men we wish to have no terms. Led on by such men as Manypenny, of the Statesman, they cannot act honest while following his lead. A union in Ohio toould be of no sort of use, for no earthly dependence could be placed on the supporters of the ' Little Squatter,' for tliey have been tried and have ever vroven faithless to every pledge." ' ' i That is the' contribution which the leading Breckinridge organ brings to the great work of fusion.: Is' it hot encour aging? Surely, with such a cordial union and such an intimate "cudling" of the leaders of all the factions, alone with "dead dogs" under "dirty bed clothes," and soothed with Dr. Fries' perfume, our modern Babel builders must succeed. And in view of all this, the Enquirer has the face, in its issue of the 19th inst., actually to call together the Democratic State Central Committee and the Demo cratic Electors, with the view of a "trade and dicker" with the Bell and Breckin ridge parties! If the editor is not in sane, it is because he is a "born idiot. We hope the "fusion" may be entered into. If it is we will warrant Lincoln 50,000 majority in the State. "Whom the gods intend to destroy, they first make mad.'.' They Give tt up. The.Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot, Dem ocratic, says: "We would be doing vio lence to our own convictions, and injus tice to our readers, if we failed to express the belief that there is now no reason able grounds to expect the defeat of Lin coln and the sectional Republican party. Pennsylvania was the battle-ground. and, in our opinion, Pennsylvania has decided the contest." at Somerville. The Lynch Committee tried to break up the school, but those who had employed Mr. Brewster would not break their contract with him. And, therefore, the chivalry proceeded to their usual work. The Somerville Democrat gives its version of the affair, making, of course, the worst case possible against Mr. Brewster, as follows: "The people of Somerville took the case in hand on Friday "morning, the 5th ult. Brewster denied that he ever ut tered Abolition sentiments; On search ing his trunk, however, the following letter was found: - - - '' . '"Boston, Oct. 20, 1856. " 'My Dear Sir: I . am glad that the friends of freedom in Middleboro' are about to. organize. Let the work go on, Better to fail on pur side than to succeed on the side of slavery. "'Faithfully, yours, " 'Charles Sumner. " 'William J. Brewster.' ; "There were also several Abolition pa-, pers in his possession, but they were torn and used as wrapping paper. One of the papers contained a sermon of Henry Ward Beocher. Thus the proof is over whelming that Brewster is an Abolition ist'. He received orders to leave these 'diggins' by; twelve o'clock," Will you look at that? Here is a gen tleman of the highest culture and stand ings an American citizen on American soil-rwn the legitimate pursuit of an honorable profession, surrounded : by Tuffians in the' persons of the leading men of Somerville. His trunk broken open and his private papers searched, and what was found? A private letter from a United States. Senator, whose learning, eloquence, and spotless character gives dignity to our country, and several torn scraps of Northern newspapers, used as wrapping paper, in one of which was a sketch of a sermon by Henry Ward Beecher! That was all, even taking' the Democrats account of it. . And yet the Democrat says this was "proof overwhelm ing, that Brewster was an Abolitionist!" Afid on this proof he is ordered to leave his business, and the State, instantly. To be sure, he was treated mildly in comparison to many others. The won der is that he escaped with his life at all. But may it not be an interesting ques- tlon,for these desperadoes to ask, "how long will the people of the Free States submit to such treatment?" We know that the Democrat and its Lynch Com mittees rely upon the aid of their dirty accomplices here. But party- ties are not strong enough to crush out the whole of manhood, and make the mass of the Democratic party in the Free States the willing forgers of their own chains. The late elections prove this. And, al though the dough-faced leaders play the cringing spaniel to their masters, the honest men of the party will not be eh slaved. And woe! to these bandits when the patience of the great conservative masses of the; people are. exhausted by these outrages! : ;. ' ". ratffro Insurrections. A terrible excitement seems to pre vail in portions of Virginia and extend ing into North Carolina, in consequence of what is supposed to be another Slave insurrection. . Mauy negroes have been arrested and flogged until confessions of. some kind have .been extorted from them. The process seems to be, to take a negro and flog him unmercifully with- out giving him the slightest intimation of what it is for. . Under the pains of the torture, the victim begs to be re leased or at least told the nature of his offense. He is then told that a plot for an insurrection has been discovered, and that if he will confess"! he shall be re leased. Of course the poor fellow, faint ing under his torments, confesses to any thing that may be suggested to him. And in this way any amount of contem Dlated ''horrors' becomes revealed. 'If there is a white man. of , whom they want to get rid, the tortured, slave may be made to implicate him, when his doom is sealed of course. . Madness it self could not devise a surer method .of getting up a real "insurrection" than these fanatics are pursuing. But, if they will sow the wind, they can but reap the whirlwind. Several persons have been arrested on these extorted confessions. . .What the end may be, the future will deyelope! . 1 A Good Paper for Every Kamlly; -. - ' Our readers may not be acquainted with one of the most valuable agricultu ral and family journals in the country, now in its nineteenth volume. We re fer to the American Agriculturist, which is a large and beautiful journal, devoted to the practical labors of the Field, Garden, and the household. It is pre pared by practical men (and women) who know what they write about, and it gives a great amount of valuable in formation? useful not only to farmers, gardeners, stock-raisers, fruit growers, and those who have little village plots, but . also, to every family. We advise our readers to send $1 to the publisher, Orange Judd, 41 Park-Row, New York, and try the Agriculturist a year. A specimen copy can doubtless be had by sending to the publisher. Those sub scribing now for the twentieth volume, (1861,) will get the remaning numbers , of this year without charge. ioi;gi.aS and comfton again. ; On the first page, will be found the j sworn statements of a number of promi- j nent Democrats, going to show that Douglas was privy toanu inr lact the prime instigator of, the fraudulent and disgraceful mode of submitting the Le compton Constitution to the vote of the people of that Territory. The whole of the evidence presented would fill nearly a. page of the Telegraph. We. had not room for it all, nor-did we deem it of sufficient importance to cumber our col umnswith more of it than will be there found. But since- it was in type, we have received a report' of a speech made by Douglas, at Milwaukee on the 13th inst., in which he notices the charge;' and in his peculiar way. denies its truth. We give the. points of Douglas' denial in the following extracts from his speech. Douglas says: : - "An Abolition newspaper has just been placed ip my hands, containing what purports to be a correspondence between a Breckinridge Committee in Kansas, and certain citizens of that Territory.1-' I have no means of knowing whether this correspondence is" genuine or fictitious.- I have looked over the names att tached to it, and recognize no one as a. personal acquaintance. In this , corres pondence I am distinctly charged with being tJie author of tlve Lecompton Consti tution. Great laughter. I do?-nt blame you for laughing at that state metife Renewed laughter. If there is any statement on earth that ought to seem ludicrous and laughable, it is a charge of that kind. But nevertheless the cliarge is distinctly made that I not only devised the Lecompton Constitution, but that it was submitted to me and fhal-1 approved it,, together with the. plan of sufy milling the ' Slavery clause. Laughter. I desire to say to you that it is false in every particular. Immense applause, I never saw the Lecompton Constitution until after it had been adopted in Kahr, sas by the Convention, and sent to the Presideut of the United States for ac ceptance, &c," ! There is Douglas' denial! The pitti ful dodge, that the charge was found in an "Abolition" newspaper is worthy only of Stephen A. Douglas! But we don't suppose it possible for him to utter two sentences without marring one of them by slang. Why could he not name the paper? The Judge knows, as all the world kuows, that "Abolitionists" and "Abolition newspapers" had nothing to do with the matter at all. The whole thing is a Democratic quarrel, in which Republicans feel the profoundest indiff erence, and Douglas is only making himself ridiculous by tho charge of "Abolitionism,'.' against the Breckin ridge wing of the Democratic party. But the habit seems to have become so strong, that he flings the term at every party which stands in his way, in seem ing unconsciousness of the sublime ab surdity. While every Breckinridge paper in the Union is denouncing Doug las himself as an "Abolitionist," he, in in his insane ambition, perambulates the Union, spouting "Abolitionism!" ven at the nrceaitrryraerirecrTusr ; But it will be seen that he dodges the issue made against him by his former party friends aad political co-operators. Douglas says ""t this correspondence I am distinctly charged with being tJie au thor ofthe Lecompton Constitution." And then proceeds to deny the charge. Now was that honest? It will be seen by re ferring to the "documents that he is not charged either "distinctly" or otherwise with being the "author ofthe Lecompton Constitution." Nothing of the . tort is even-hinted at. The charge -is that he approved the fraudulent mode.- of . sub milling it to the people. .' He admits that he had been in corres pondence with Calhoun, and that Calhoun was in possession of letters from him But he says: : "In this pretended correspondence, the charge is made that Mrs. Calhoun had hawked these letters about in the market for sale, and that' two thousand' dollars had been offered for them; and on that statement the Abolition paper bases its charge,, that I or my friends had made her that offer j 1 shall notice this only to vindicate the character of that wid owed lady; I never insulted Mrs. Cal houn, or degraded myself by offering her or anybody else any money or other com pensation for suppressing my private correspondence jwith Mr. Calhoun, pr anybody else on earth. I will tell you all I know about this last charge. Just before I left Washington a few months ago, I received a letter from a near rela tive of the late JoTin Calhoun, in which he furnished not onlyrthe statement, but the evidence, that one of Mr. Buchan an's Federal office-holders in Nebraska-, a man holding a land office and nearly connected with the worst enemies J have on earth, had gone to Mrs, .Calhoun and asked permission to look over her de ceased husband's private correspondence with Judge Douglas. She refused to permit him, saying that her husband's correspondence was sacred. "Spund," "right," etc. Thereupon this federal office-holder offered Mrs. Calhoun two thousand if she would allow him to look over Gen. Calhoun's private papers, and take, out all the private papers that Judge Douglas had ever written to h'er husband. -: She, like a true hearted wo man, who revered the memory and honor of her. husband, indignantly rejected the bribe. And now my enemies dre charge on me their attempt to bribe a widow1 woman." ""' ' ' ; ;-'. '.'.. . Here we are let an W,b Mystery, in a slight measure. So mefeadyit seems, did offer Mrs. Calhoun $2,000 for a sight of Douglas's letters to her husband, which she refused. But the Judge says it was by . a Federal office-holder, one of Bu chanan's office-holders, and the sentence, of course would not be complete without the Judge's chorus of "Abolitionist." Well, if Buchanan's Kansas office-holders, as well as Breckinridge, are "Abo litionists" in the opinion of Douglas, we shall really begin to think there is some disgrace in the term. - So longas he ap plied it to the Republicans we were con tent, but when the Breckinridge and Bell parties charge Douglas with Aboli tionism, and Douglas hands the epithet over to Buchanan and his Lecompton gang, we must enter our protest The quarrel is a .right nice one, and I having inserted a small portion of the ; charge) we alg0 giye Douglag the benefit Qf his denial. If it was simply thfi word of one Democrat airainst another, we WOuld say it was an even chance which! .ti the truth. But in this case it is a deliberate charge, made out by a com mittee of prominent Democrats, and supported by the testimony of many more, on the one side, and on the other is the single denial of Douglas himself, and in that denial he totally and reck lessly perverts the "truth of history" by making the charge itself to be wholly different frQm wnat it really is. Now if Mr. Douglas cannot or will not state truly, a charge which he pretends to denyj what reliance can be placed upon his denial itself? And besides,' Douglas does not stand before the country as an unimpeached witness. It is but a few days since he made a deliberate state ment in a public speech in which he pro fessed to give a conversation he had held in person with the President of the United States. That President, in the face of the whole country and the world, deemed that the honor of the country and the cause of truth required him to notice the statement. And he did so in a letter lately published, in which, with all the solemnity of his character as a manahd his position as the occu pier of the highest seat on earth, he pronounces the statement of Douglas wholly false.- So far then asithe testi mony of a Democratic President is wor thy of credence, Douglas, is not a man of truth, on whose word any reliance can be placed. Still, we do not say that Douglas' denial may not be true. We do not profess much confidence in the word of the leaders of either faction, and don't care a straw which of them con cocted the Lecompton villainy. The fraud was the spawn of the Democratic party. And now, that the leaders are rending each other, and exposing the utter rotteness of the contending fac tions into which it has been rent, Re publicans can well afford to chronicle the progress of the fight without taking sides with either. We gave the charge of one set of Democratic leaders against Douglas, and now give his denial. Each reader may form his own conclu sion as to which can be believed. The country will put its estimate on all par ties in a week from next Tuesday. In tht virdict we will acquiesce, whatever it may be. REPUBLICANISM IN VIRGINIA. If the people of Virginia were per mitted to vote by ballot, as we are in Ohio, Lincoln would receive a very large vote on the 6th of November. But this the chivaliy will not permit, and consequently, in most parts of the State, a man would endanger his life to vote for the man of his choice. This is more than most men can be expected to do. There are several counties border ing OU'reuuffyl-ratiio ami Olvioj in which the free labor element has become strong enough to protect itself fro m murderous assault and in these counties Lincoln will receive a heavy vote. Wheeling has become, like St. Louis, substantially a free labor community, and, unless overpowered by force from other parts ofthe State, will give Lincoln a major ity of her votes. There are several hundred voters in Mason County, oppo site this place, who are earnest Repub licans. But whether they may think it safe to vote the ticket we do not know- .We are not sure that they ougiit to -put their lives in jeopardy, but we"-do say that wherever a Republi can can exercise the right of suffrage with out endangering his life,, it is his duty to do so. True, Lincoln will be elec ted without this sacrifice..' But ten thou sand votes cast for the right in the State of Virginia, ' would have more moral power . than one hundred thousand in the Free States where mob law and ruffian outrage do not deter men ' from the performance of their duty. ' We here give the Republican Electoral Ticket of Virginia, and sin cerly hope that, every true Republican, who can, with personal safety, will vote it on the 6th of November. Virginia Bepublican Electoral Ticket. GEORGE RYE. John Wright. R. H. Gray. Thomas Todd JOHN McLURE, Jr. Levi Pittman. W. E. Stevenson. D. W. Roberts. J. L. Freeman-. . Joseph Applegate Thomas J. Hewitt. Jacob Hprnbrook. Joseph Bell. S. M. Peterson. G. D. Hall. J6S?-We publish, on the first page, some important disclosures, showing con clusively that Douglas was the prime mover of the Lecompton illainy in Kansas. .. The exposure is made wholly by prominent Democrats. The letters we publish are but a small part of the evidence given. .The whole expose would fill many columns of the Telegraph. The utter hypocrisy, and brazen dem: agoguery of this ambitious man,-'has never had a parallel in the -history of pus; country. , Happily, his tortuous course- is becoming -so.- thoroughly un derstood, that all honest men will have an opportunity to vote intelligently, and he will receive such a rebuke from an insulted and indignant people as will serve as a lesson to unscrupulous wire workers in all time to come. With the facts before the people we cannot believe it possible that Douglas can receive the electoral vote . of a single State in the Union. We do not believe there is one State so utterly bound up in party tram mels as to give even an apparent sanction to the course of this man Douglas. Thousands will doubtless vote for him on party grounds who utterly despise his truckling course as a politician. But the better class of the Democratic party cannot be brought to sacrifice their self-re3peet so far as to vote for him, even to save their party. His condem- nation will be complete, and the world will pronouuee it just. EDUCATIONAL, BKFORM. Mr. L. A. Iline. the advocate of Land and Educational Reform, who recently lectured in Pomeroy, takes the following nncitinna in rpsrippt. tn thp lat.tfir hrnnch i .i I , ' i i t i 1. Our existing system of high school and collegiate education is seriously de- ; r. l- i- i j a1 ihih, vm in iiMino- it nmniiiifii v. hiiii .nre. tore productive or inequality, lhere should be no more inequality than God designed. 2. It is also open to serious criticism because it educates with reference to pro fessional or genteel life, and not for man ual occupations. One should be as well educated for a farmer or mechanic as for a lawyer or gentleman. 3. In the third place, the existing system is the main support of a misera ble aristocracy that scorns and degrades manual labor. Those who have enjoyed the sentimental gentility of the Academy or College regard it as a prodigious let ting down of personal dignity to go to work. 4. It is also seriously defective in not teaching the first duties of life. They profess it as their object, to prepare young ladies and gentlemen "for the du . r . n. . ties of life:" but in nine cases out of ten their graduates despise these duties and hold them as menial occupations, fit only for the poor, whom they seem to regard as predestined by the Creator to support and wait on the educated gen tility! 5. Again ; the present system does more damage in the destruction of health than good in the mental culture. It slaughters a large proportion of its stu dents, and weakens nearly all of them. It aims not to provide the world with model men and women, but with profes sional gentlemen and sentimental do nothing ladies, fit only to fill a home stead with sorrow, because a fashionable life destroys their health. 6. In the sixth place, the present sys tem does not seek to correct physical and mental defects a service to human ity which should be the sole object of Education. But if one is detective in body or mind his defects are increased by the College. To overcome these abuses is- the ob ject of Educational Reform. Oar Aca demical and Collegiate system must be reconstructed and thoroughly organized in harmony with man's physical and mental constitution. It must provide for physical health as well as for mental development. It must make a deformed body symmetrical, and give balance to an inharmonious mind; and not be guilty of the monstrous wrong of deforming symmetrical bodies and increasing the disorders of unbalanced minds. It must provide work for each student at least four hours per day, in which the Presi dent and Faculty shall participate. It must pay especial attention to physiol ogy, health and practical morals. It must save the expense of education, and thus, by preserving health, make educa tion so cheap that the poorest can have all the advantages of the richest. It must graduate every male student famil iar with Agriculture, Horticulture, fruit culture and a trade ; and every female student must go out familjar with all the duties of her sphere, as, also, with Hor ticulture and floral culture. And espe cially must it send them out with good health and a love ior practical hie, even if nothing else shall be done for them. Thus would Education be made to promote equality, justice, wisdom and happiness.

THE NEW TORE ELECTIOJT. The Pittsburgh Journal, of the 17th, says: Ve have been surprised at the num ber of persons who within the last few days have expressed doubts to us as to the result of the November election in t -XT- i rr4 i ixew ions, mere nas never at any time since the Chicago nomination been one moment's doubt in our mind that Lincoln would carry the State by an overwhelming majority. It is simply a question whetheritshall benfty, seventy five or one hundred thousand. No com binations among the warring elements, of the opposition can "defeat Lincoln. . If Douglas 'and Breckinridge" fuse, men from either wing whom no leaders ean sell, cleave off and refuse to vote, or else vote for the man of their choice. If Douglas and Bell unite, citizens of for eign birth refuse to be transferred to the Know Nothings, and vote for Lincoln. New York is just as sure for Lincoln as Vermont. As the North American justly says, when Pennsylvania cast her vote last Tuesday, she decided that Abraham Lincoln should be the next President; and we care not what combi nations may be formed, what conspira cies hatched, what coalitions made, that determination cannot be changed. Every attempt to tinker and traffic is but a con fession of weakness, and when men are seen conniving together, who were born and who have lived in political antagon ism, it may well be supposed they are driven to the last and worst extremity. In this State they openly combined on Mr. Foster, and the people rose up in their might and crushed out the conspi racy. And so they will do in New York with equal decision." , , r A Shrewd Bet on Elections. The Springfield Republican reports a bet which we think is as well worth re cording as "any other of the "signs of the times:" ' ' : "Look here," said a Republican to a noisy Bell man, "I will bet you a hun dred dollars that I can name fifteen States that Lincoln will get; and then I will bet you five hundred dollars more that 1 can name five additional States that will go for Lincoln." The money was put up. The Republican then named the fifteen Slave States as those upon which he proposed to risk the hundred dollars, and Maine, Massachu setts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Wisconsin, as the five additional States upon which he proposed to risk the five hundred. ' The Bell man rubbed bis eyes, and since the Pennsylvania election, if not before, looks for a net loss of four hun dred dollars as the cost of this lesson in political betting. It may safely be said that there is now one convert to the folly of this form of political gambling. JBST-A billiard room for ladies has been opened in Nashville.
