Take again, the State of Texas, they give the privilege to the legislature of exempting not dis rriminatina in favor of anv species of property. But ourState legislature will have no poertato exempt one sixpence worth of property from the unbending sys tern of ad valorem taxation. Again, by this Oppo sition platform, which we now oppose, the passage of a home stead law to protect a certain amount of property from levy and sale, is absolutely impossi ble, because all property is to le taxed according to its value, and whenever you levy a tax upon prop erty, that property is subject to levy and sale for i the taxes so levied? GOOD NEWS. A gentleman from Surry county, whose business is entirely one of travel, remarked last week that Gov. Ellis would largely increase his vote iu Surry and Ashe, stating that his victory would be mere decided than that in the last campaign. Another writing to us from Hay wood, ypon business, says : "Pool will do very little up here ; we have anti ad valorem whigs and ad valorem democrats, the former will vote with us, the latter do not believe in this Convention system to attain an object, which according to Mr Pool 'ought to be incorporated in our constitution at the earliest possible day,' they know that this plan will not incorporporate it for years if at all, therefore they will vote with us.'

Schwabe, a German astrono mer, endeavors, however, to give tiiem another ex planation. He has published in the "Astronoinis che Nachriehteu" some facts which tend to show that these lines are the result of a vegetation on the surface of the moon. According to the author, if the surface of the moon be examined attentively with a go2lescipe and a pxvper illumination, we discover ntajen the lines or luminous furrows of Eie high mountain called Tyeho, and on different other points a quantity of very delicate parallel lines of a greenish tint, which were not visible miiuv month beftrre tin? observation and vhich dis appear a few months after, to return again in the jroper sason. These lines, which are darker than the adjacent parts, are clearly the result of vegeta tion, and it is this vegetation which makes the ster ile parts ot the streaks. .a dugeon.

CORN CORN "NE THOUSAND bugs superior bread Corn, jus receive.'! hy April 2d, 1860 d&w4t The Wi!:'.iintm Herald, like many othcr fanaties in the partj', seems delighted with the turn of affairs in'Charleston. It says 'the old concern has been in bad health for some years, &c." We are willing to acknowledge that the party is "old,"- ?o old that it can well remember the ups and downs of political life. We have been a party long enough to see who are fools, and we have long since come to the conclusion that the know-nothing party and its leaders were of a stamp where knavery might be said to be the embodiment of them all. They man ufactured the Black Republican party, and made the North abolitionists ! They formed the monster with which we have had to contend, and now with a de moniacal horse laugh, spiting fire from their forked tongues, glorying in their work of rapine and dark ness, we have them assuming a new garb called the National Union Party. Pretty garments will not not do to clothe jour sleeky, slimy, scalcy, form the people will unveil your masked proportions, and show the world your fishy, scaley, black republican, scorpion tale, which though the slim end of you can be found in t ie North, we of the South will crush your viper head under our heel ! Yes, that is a task for "the Great National Democracy" to accom plish, and we will show you how handsomely we can do it. We have the power, and in the name of God and our country, we will scurge you and your worthless abolition allies from the face of Christen dom, and the place that has heretofore known you shall know you no more. It has been said that there did exist a Whig party once. This is doubtful. Martin Luther has said, and wisely, that a man lives forty years before he knows himself to be a fool, and at the time he be gins to see his folly, his life is nearly finished, con sequently, many men die before they begin to live.' Following out this truth, we must certainly conclude that the Whig party has never lived, for when it beeran to see its folly it departed this life. We then saj for pity sake, Mr Herald, don't put on such a flushless face when your handkerchief should serve as its covering for shame. You never had a party, never will have one, and the thing you did have you are ashamed of it, nor can you point to a single act inAits history but should be condemned by all honest men. Yo,u may breathe out your foul gests, your ravings which are but the effusion of a muddled, understanding and party rage, yet, you will find to your chagrin and the benefit and hope of the country, that the Democratic party lives, and that with the power of a Sampson unshorn, it will put to death the petty isms of the North, and Southt and we now in time call upon you, Mr Herald, to abandon that crazied faction, aud save yourself and country from shame and au ignominious death. "Ad valorem is latin, and of course'none but latin scholars should profess to be conversant upon it. But its strongest advocates seem to be most unset- 1 tied '"-" T " Lynch Law in New Yokk. The Black Republic an journals are always very ready to spread before the peopU of North glaring' accouuts of every little incident which occurs in the Southern States, when the people take the law into their own hands for the purpose ot mnicting summary puni.-aiment upon ne gro stealers arid those who go about preaching sedi tion and inciting the slaves to committ deeds of barbarity; but when similar acts are prepetrated by cantinz and Pharisaical moralists in this section of j the country, they either shut their eyes to the facts, I or plead in extenuation, that the end justifies the means. An affair occurred in the town of Portl. -3, Chautauqua Count-, New York on the night of the 20th instant, which, in brutality and in violation of all the decencies . of society, outstrips anything which has yet, we think, been prepetrated during the present century in any Christian community in the whole pivilizel world. It appears, acc jrding to the account of the affair as published in the West Held "N.w Tork h', rublican cf the 23d instant, that on Friday night of last week, a party of fifteen men and five women, who, no doubt, are the leading moralists of the village where they reside, proceeded to the house of Air. Elisha Whipple, in the town of Portland, broke open his door, dragged one of his daughters, a voung woman, from her bed, stripped her and deliberately covered her person with a coat of tar and feathers, and in that state they left her, fully convinced, without doubt, that .they had per formed a Godly act. As far as the paper quoted was able to leirn the cause for the prepetration 'of this atrocious outrage, it was that ''Mr. vy hippie some time since lost his wife, and was left with a family of small children, and this young woman, who had been living away, came home to help take care ot the family, and recently suspicious has been excited that the house was disorderly', ana tins rennea method was adopted by the young people of the neighbor hood to reform it." The perpetrators were sub sequently arrested and taken before a justice, where they all gave bail for their appearance before the next criminal court of Chautouqua Country. New York Herald about her age, who instinctively hovered about the dying bed of her youthful friend, was present vhen the interesting scene closed. During the leavitak ing, which occupied considerable time on account of the shortness of breath, the dying bride looked earnestly at her young friend and said, ' Mattie, come here," and then summoning her strength for an extra effort, added, ''Thin shoes thin shoes." At what a fearful cost was that lesson learned, and how few seem willing to learn it for leas. To morrow, in her full wedding xobes, Lizzie passes to the silent tomb, leaving with the thousand pleasant recollections of her almost faultless life the eloquent sermon contained in these expressive, words, "Thin shoes thin shoes" CI vcland PUiindealer.

I have no apo logies to oiler, and to those not familiar with them, and to those who do not believe them none is due.

To those who know me, it is needless for me to say that I am not going to do any such thing while the doctrine of polygamy and dis obedience to the laws are countenanced there; to those who do not know me personally, and to whom my principles are unknown, I must say, with hold your censure until such time as I shall, by some flagrant act of disobedience to the law of the land or some striking breach of morality, deserve the just indignation of society; when I do either one or the other, I am ready for the opening of the vial of wrath of outraged society, and shall cheerfully receive the cendemnation I sh dl merit. j " Numbers of the readers of the Democratic Press know me personally and have been warm friends to me; they know my sentiments iu regard to those obnoxious features iu Utah Mormonism, and I trust in their knowledie of me as a pledge to them of what my future actions shall be. Religious toler- 1 ation is one of the principles of our government, and so long as any denomination shall keep within the pale of the law, so long is it entitled to the consider ation and protection of government, but when these bounds are exceeded, the cl .im is forfeited arid soc iety ought to ignore it; and the law proclaim against it. A man is knownjby his acts : I hare been judged heretofore by mine, and I am willing still to be so judged, asking all to do so fairly and impartially. laying the r prejudices aside, relying not upou rumor for their knowledge, but investigating for themselves. 1 leave the result in the hands, of Him who doeth all things well," hoping no man will judge me without FioiiTiXG Deacons of Geauga. In a small nei ghborhood in Geauga County live three deacons. The first is a Methodist, th" second a Presbyterian, and the third a N. S. Baptist. All live quite a dis tance from their respective meeting houses, and as the traveling is excessively bad at this tune of year, thev concluded to hold meetings ia the little red school house in the neighborhood. The question then arose which denomination should hold the first meeting. The Methodist claimed the privilege of opening the ball. The Presbyterian demanded it. The B iptist insisted upon it. Here was a "fix." Thev wrangled over the matter until the danger of each deacon arose to fever heat, and each vowed he would hold a meeting at the red school house the ... TV ' 1 1 & vi-rv evening, wnieu liamiciU'U to lie on rriuay nisi. i and oa that evening at earlv candle livjht the school h mse was crowded with Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and several world s people. The Presbyterian commenced reading a catechism. The Baptist at the same time arose and commenced reading a tract on immersion. The Methodist at the same time struck up an old fashioned hyman, shout ng it forth at the top of his lungs. The effect was udicrous. It apparently struck the mixed congrega ion so, for they all commenced laughing. The Haptist was whesy. He sunk exhausted in his seat, while the Presbyterian and Methodist continued. AU at once the 1 .idicrousness of the scene struck the Baptist, and he indulged in a protracted horse laugh. This displeased the "Presbyterian, and forgetting himself, he dealt- the Baptist a stunning below under the right ear. The Methodist threw down -his hymn book and rushed to the Baptist's rescue. He arrived iust in time to receive the Presbyterian's iron fist between his eyes. The Baptist and Methodist rallied, and together attacked the Ptesbyterian, but he was too much for them. The scene that ensued beggars description. Chairs were oven-tuned; window-glass was broken; women shrieked; men yelled. We have no wish to make fun of an alfair which has caused regret among the religious people of Gfauga. We merely relate the facts. The matter is in litigation. Cleveland Plaitulcaler. ouutgue . at one time on a visit to the gardens of Stowe, and being much teased by a young fop, ho was making himself ridiculous by showing his ignorance ; coming to one of the temples, and seeing a latin inscription upon it, she put his learning to the test by asking what it meant? he replied that he did not know as it was in dog latin. "How extraordinary," said the lady, "that puppies do not understand their own language !" We think so too. Tkxrible Bear Figiit in Thirtteesth Street. A frightful conflict occurred in the " Old Adams " menagerie, in Thirteenth street, yesterday afternoon. J. C. Adams, known as "Old Adams," the California hunter, bear catcher and tamer, had a fight with one of his bears and was seriously injured. Adam's Menagerie has recently been opened to the public at the corner of Thirteenth street and Fourth avenue. The collection consists mainly of Califor nia animals, which were caught and trained by him during a hunting expedition of four years. There is a large ring in the centre of the tent, formed by a railing, and in this ring, among other animals, are a large number of bears, which Adams has trained to perform various amusing tricks, such as going up a tree, sitting in a chair, turning summer saults, &c. Some of them seem not to have forgot ten wholly their old habits, and are exceedingly cross. One of them, an immense grizzly bear, three vears of age, is called Colonel Fremont, and as Mr. Adams was exhibiting yesterday afternoon, he struck this bear with his whip at a moment when j he was peculiarly savage, whereupon his bearship resented the affront and seized A clams by the arm, j i greatly to the terror of the female spectators, many ot wnom ran on screaming. The bears are all chained, of course, but unfortu ately Col. Fremont had sufficient room to get a good hold of Mr. Adams's left arm, and inflicted a serious wound. A regular bear fight followed, and Mr. Ad ams succeeded in extricating himself, and the bear wras put into a harness and further chained, so that he will be unable to inflict any further injury upon anybody. The fight lasted some time, and was truly fright ful, the bear growling or roaring in terrific style. The injury to Mr. Adams's arm would not be so serious were it not for the remarkable fact that the. upper portion of his skull was torn off by a fierce Rocky Mountain grizzly bear about five years ago, from which he has suffered much pain constantly, which the wound upon the arm naturally increases. He is, however, a man of extraordinary nerve, and, in spite of the severe injuries from whieh he is suA fering, continues his exhibition. Some years ago Mr. Adams fell inwith Colonel Hon. L. ' O'B. Branch. This gentleman, our member of Congress from the fourth District, has been on a visit to his family connections and farm in this County for several days. During the season for the meeting of the political conventions, but little will be done in Congress, and many of the members will embrace the opportunity to visit their families. We are glad to see Mr. Branch in such good health. Mr. B. is a farmer as well as a politi cian. He looks well to the main chance, knowing that politics won't pay.

The bear with which Adams had his fight yes terday raceived the gallant Colonel's name in honor of that event. A7". Y. Post. A New Code of Co or The Hanging Duel.
