Upon a previous occasion, to wit: on the night of the 14th of October, 18fl9, while the said James Oxford was confined in the jail of the county of Han cock, under an iudictment charging him with the mur der <fa respectable citizen of said county, a hand of disguised and lawless persons, of about sixty in num ber, did, by force and intimidation, obtain from the Sheriff of said county of Hancock the keys of said j-til, and, having overpowered the guard stationed ihcreat for the safekeeping cf the risoners confined therein, did unlawfully open sai l jail and release therefrom the said James Oxford and set him at liberty ; and, Wit sinus, 'I hese repeated and flagrant violations of th- law, hy bands of disguised persons, clearly estab lish the fact that there is a determination upon tie ir part to prevent the said Oxford from being br 'tight, to punishm-nt, mr the crime of which he stands convicted thereby sitting the laws of this State at open defiance, and thwarting the ends of justice ; ahd, Wrkreas.

We find the Democracy of Cali ornia making a bol l stand against monopolies 1 hey have renominated Gov. Ilaight, and notde issue distinct and clear. The San Fr anctsco Examiner, one of the ablest Dem ocratic j Hiroaisin the United States, accepts the gage of battle tendered by the monopo lists, atid cbarlv and boldly sets forth the encroachment* which the great creatures of the law are making urmn ttie rights 1 t their creators—the States and the peop'e. Until ft recent period the endowment of companies with special privileges was con fined to the Sta»es. and in them the grant ■ f special franchises C'"j and not exceed the limits permitted by their C'-m-titutiong And if the-e grants interfernd with tfie rights of communities • r individuals there was power in the Supreme Court to redress the grievance. Under some of their char ters the privileges grunted by the State were inten f&icd by the corDorations, and especially by tliose in carrying trade, so as to bring them before the supreme tribunal, and public or individual wrong was ultim ately redressed. In the States were these corporations ex isted they were constantly strivng to expend their powers with little regard to public 'pinion or convenience. They were always aiming to exercise political control, and the Democrats, on priciple, denounced hem <v> heartless monopolies, and endeav ored by pr. per legislation to protect the people against their aggressions. In the past few years an important change has taken place in end"wingo rporations. Now they receive grants of public moneys, public lands and extraordinary franchise. The old doctrine of the rights of States, in these matters, has been mod.tied bv Congressional action under the rule of lUdieah.-m ; arid t;jey traverse S'ates by virtue of their national charters almost independent of State control. Some of the organizations possess in the aggregate, territories, incme and privi leges, the and vrlopotent of which will make them, by their power, a thud element in Oir system ot government Their l’r< sidents and Directors will become m >re important agents in the body politic than the Govern ors or Senators of commonwealths, and their poliey will be aggressive against every barrier opposing the ex’enemn of their power. Evin now they have attempted to reconstruct the Supreme Court. I tie Bank of England find the Bank of France enjoy special privileges th it. make 'hem powerful institutions to promote the national pro-purity of the respective cun nnd they are under governmental control. Ihe public good is tneir main object, and their ra'es of interest are at and fi rent periods the lowe-t percentage that wiil promote the interests of legitimate business. Die amounts in these great in stitutions are largeiy under individual con trol, nnd if the aggregate amounts disposed of by their directory seem enormous, we cut assure our readers that we have a monopoly in our mulst whose power D greater than is possessed by either of these institutions. It is the monster railroad corporation that spans our continent ; that whs lands in the best val eys of our Stare ; tint se'emed its mures of travel so as to en brace the lands covered with timber and lie pi ce« where water is abundant. Along ’ie course of rivers it has the landings, vhere vesels can load or discharge. It can I»vy i’s tolls at the highest prices at which farmers can send their goods to market without suffering a total l >ss. It can de cee which towns shall be the termini or slipping places of their trains. It can ptrsuade or coerce towns into enmpliar ce wth their wishes. Where this corporation dtsire to benefit a community, their cars an m de t > tarry where from any cause lev disiike their citizens, they hurry be yond them, after rapidly landing thdr Passengers. Diet e will be in time cop Acts between stich a corporation and ind viduals. as well at communities. The possession of such eitraordina y power as the railroad ino nmuly enjoys tempts its officers to exercise it.ar.d no matter »hat may De th- general potev of the directory, its agents can warp it oas to benefit themselves. Bit we may be informed that thus far there is no ade quite ground for cur accusation that we ait alarmists that w- denounce the men wtji have aeeomp ished the greatest work o'modern times as mere sordid speculators -that our outcry against a monster m .- n>pi»ly is a mere dodge to rally the people tithe support of the Democracy. Such is n.t our purpose. We dread the effects of tie concentration of wealth in the hands of afevv ; we dread the concentration of paw* e in the hands of limited number that the pivileged few will select as their agems. Ve make no war on the individuals, but j w find that the great corporators fhr. ugh <«t the Union are combining together; that tie lailroads in several States have selected afew to control them ; that the spirit of cunpetition which it was supposed would e:ist from the r rivalry, and which was the fa-ely alleged plea made by the Radical j paty to endow them so munificently, has j ce.sed. Instead of cornpettt on we have i e" solidarion. Instead of facilitating the ; d'-ehipment of States and teritories by low fregbts and low fares, we are menaced w n deoroa-md accommodation and high pries.— Union nnd American. ft'R government is certainly the best in fhfworld, for it runs itself.

PIATF liM OF TUB TfiXAS Dem CRACT Whereas, It beiomes necessary from tune to time for the friends of constitutional gov ernment to reassert their devotion to it, and to proclaim ihe principles upon which it should be admini-ttred ; and when its enemies obtain power, to expose the usur pation to the end that the whole people may be aroused to action to their rights at the pallot-box ; therefore, ! lit it Lesotved, 1. 1 hat the Democracy if Texas have an trbidmg confidence in the devotion of the National Democratic party to correct principles of government; and we pledge ourselves to co-eperate with it as an integral part thereof, in its future efforts to re-rioi-t; the government in its ud nrnnistration to the on which it was founded. 2. That we rely upon the honesty and capacity of the people for self-government. 3 That the Constitution, as formed by the free voice of the State, is the foundation of the cower of the g vernment. 4. That the powers of the General Gov ernment are restricted to the express grants of the Constitution, and all rowers not grant ed are reserved to the States and the people thereof 5 The regulating of suffrage and elec tions belongs t 1 the respective States ; and any interference by the General Govern ment, with intent to control either, is a gr iss u-urpatii>n of power* and the Use of military at elections to overawe the people and prevent a fair and full expression of their political sentiments, is utterly sub versive to free government, and shouhl be resisted by all proper means, until the evil is abolished, and an honest, untrammelled ballot restored. 0. The abolition of slavery, as a result of the war, is accepted as a fixed fact, and it becomes our duty, by State legislation, to provide for tDe security and well-being of all classes of men. native and foreign born, white <>r blaek 7 The imm'gration of the white races from all quarters of the world should be encouraged and there should be no unrea s n’ ble impediments or delay to naturali zation and citizenship, the D mnerntic party having been uniformly in favor of liberal policy toward all persons of foreign birth, who in good faith seek a home among us. 8 That we will yield obedience to the Constitution and laws. Thirty Men lviu.to and Eaten.—The HomriUiU Gazette publishes t*ie f Mowing account of recent difficulties in Ovalau. The great topic of conversation here, and one which, to my mind, is of paramount im portance, is the present warlike aspect of the natives—not as yet, toward the white population, hut an 01 g themselves At the back of this is and, and only a few miles fiyrn the beach* is a powerful trihe known as the Levoni On the rums) end of the island resides another tribe. Both tribe appear to have some diflerenees, and had fought, the particulars of which were made known to ’he 'king hy a man named Cor nelious. Upon obtaining the information Thackombua sent over to the Levoni men requesting them to desist from fighting The reply was that they would kill the individual who had informed him of their doings, and who they soon found out to lie Cornelious. I should state that, up to this time, the people of all the tribes on Ovalau had professed Christianity, and oor nelious was said to fie a urnst exemplary pious man, well known to missionaries end native teachers. Nevertheless, upon Cor neiious making his appearance among them he was instantly clubbed, his body muti lated and then interred Two days after fiis interment the b -dv was exhunvd, in accord rice with nn old native custom and a “man oven” was constructed and heated with red-hot stories. In this the body of poor Cornelious was thrust and hiked like a pig. And then a barbarian feast was held by these beastly cannibals, who de voured every p >rrion of the remains, pick ing the bones and reserving them as troph ies. Bor ibis only wetted their appetites f >r human flesh, they next made an onslaught on thmr neighbors at the north pnd of the island, and .have killed.

W hen the lion was somewhat exhausted by struggles to free himself, the doctor mount ed on a tub in front of the stage. A piece of wood was placed in the lion’s mouth, and at once the beast made a snap. Then a pitchfork was held up, and placed in the mouth, kept it open, while the inside was thcr< uglily washed Afterward the doctor, pushing his arms through the bars into the lion’s mouth, and running his band over the teeth, found the loose grinder. A ters rible struggle ensued. The lion plunged more vig< rously and howled more fright fully than ever, tossing his head from side to side, and at times forcing his hinder as well as his front paws against the bare. But ultimately the doctor triumphed over all diffieu ties arid dangers, and by of powerful fotceps extracted the loose tooth, which was found broken and disea-ed near the root. When the task had been completed the lion sank down completely exhausted, and while fie lay steady and Jjuiet the doctor cut out the over the jaw, and fouud the bone severely injured if not broken. It was, however, deeme i ex pedient to subject the beast to another operation.

The pies-ure of these bundig°s is often so great the circulation becomes impeded, and incisions and scari fications are then made on the haods, feet and spine, to let out what the Tuikish doc tors aui nurses call ‘the dead blood ’* The unhappy little erearure is ooly occasionally released from its bonds, and never thorough ly washed until the sacred month of thirty and ys has expired, when it is taken with its mother to the bath. No wonder that the sickly and ailing sink under such treatment and that the mortality among infante should be frightful. NO. 39.
