From tho Ohio State Journal. A Chapter in the History of .Henry B. Payne worthy of Hotice aud Kemem-Drance! Bead! Bead II in "looking over some old Legislative documents, our eye fell upon a rare history of H. B. Payne, tho Locofoco candidate for Governor this full, which docs not place that gentleman in a very enviable light Wforo the people of tho State. (tn tho winter of 1830 and 1810, Cuyahoga, 'county whonco comes Mr. Taync was rep resented in the Ohio Legislature by ono Wm. B. Loyd. Mr. Loyd was an enthusiastic whig, and was (ai-sued by tfcc Mood-hounds of the Ldcofoco party, with ah clergy seldom 'equaled. The Statesman, at Columbus, led the van m these denunciations ; charging him, among other things, with tho crime of forgery, and said it was ready to prove the charge Mr. Loyd demanded an investigation, and a committee was appointed, beforo which a thorough investigation was had. Mr. H. B. Payno was a witness upon which the Statesman par-'tfcn'.ar'ly riAicd fo substantiate tho charges iiiado tiy it against tho momber from Cuyahoga county. In tho investigation, somo way or other, doubt was thrown over the minds of the Investigating Committee, as to Mr. Payne's voracity, and, aS a consequence, several of Mr tVs neigh$ora.wcTe called in, whoso testimony follows. The 'first witness, Mr. Ambroso Spc'h'cer, was a son of 'i'oiige Spencer, of Sew York, in whose office, it is said, Payno studied law. Hear him : Question. Aro you acquainted with Mr. Payne, and if so, how long have yoh known him, and what is his general charactor for truth, and from your knowledge of his general character would you believe him on oath ? Answer. Tdo know Mr. Payne. I think it was in tho year 1833 I first became acquainted with him ; his general character for truth I boliove is not of tho first order, and for my own part, whenever his personal feelings or interest were concerned, I WOULD NOT BELIEVE HIM UNDER OATH. Q. Do you mean by Mr. Payne, II. B. Payno, Es., tho witness heretofore examined by tii'6 'Committee ? and if so, have yWn at Any time had a personal misunderstanding with him? A. I mean H. B. Payne, of Cleveland, a partner of Hiram V. nson. So far from having had any misundorstanding with Mr. Payne, I have been on tho usual terms with him, which exist botweon gentlemen, since the time ho studied law in my father, Jdhn C. Spencer's oflkc.in Canandaigua, in the State ot Now York ; and it is with regret that I havo made the statement I havo. Q. How long havo you resided in tho 'city of Clovcland, and how long has Mr. Payne resided thero ? A. I havo resided in tho city of ClcVoland two years noxt March. I think Mr. Payne has been in Cleveland ruoro than four years. 'Q. What is his general character for truth in tho city Of Cleveland ? A. Ills reputation is bud in Cleveland as far at Y)iy knowledge extends. Q. In what particular instanco, if any, lravo you known Mr. Payno to depart from the truth ? A. In a caso pending beforo the Court of Common Pleas, at Cleveland, an agreement was entered into between Thomas Bolton and Mr. Payno, to postpone tho trial till tho next term. During that term and during Mr. Bolton's absence from tho Court House, Mr. Payno drew the attontion of tho Judge (Judgo Humphrey, I think it Was,) to the number of his case, and requested that it might bo taken Up, which was dono, and Mr, Bolton stated to rile, that afterwards-, ho was oWiged to obtain written agreements from Mr. rayflc' JB obligb' him to fulfill his agreements. The above in formation I obtained solely from Mr. Bolton; I know of no other instance. Mr. James M. Hoyt i3 next called and he testifies as fbiidlrs : Q. How long havo you known Henry B. Payno ? A. I have known Mr. Tayno formerly, about two years, and after an interval of about five years, I havo knofrn him in Cleveland, betweon four and tivo years last past Q. Are you acquainted with tho general character of Ilcury B. Tayne in the neighborhood where he resides, for truth ? A. lam. Q. What is his general tharacter in that respect 1 A. From fny Ehowlcflgo 6T htSf general character for truth and voracity, I think it doubtful. fn answer to the question whether he wo'd belie vo bim under oath, ho replies ; r'llf!itilt Iuxndd." . The evidence ef Mr. Woolsey Welles is of the same nature. ' He is not willing to go so iar as to any ne would not believe Mr. 1'. under oath, yet his evidence damages Mr. P.'s character, as a man of truth quite as effectual. 116 testifies r Q. Aro you acquainted with Honry B. Payno ? A. I am. Q. How long havo you been acquainted with Mm ? ... A. Since 1835, but more particularly tho last two years. Q. Aro you acquainted with tho general 'character of II. B. Payne, in tho neighborhood whero ho resides, for truth ? A. I am somewhat acquainted with it. Q. What is his general charactoi in that respect? A. In a largo majority of instances where I havo heard his charactor for truth spoken of, it has been unfavorable in that respect. James K. Hitchcock Question by G. Swan. How long havo you boon acquainted with H. B. Payno ? A. About three years. Question by tho same. Aro you acquainted with his gcnoral 'character in tho neighborhood where ho resides, for tr'ith $ A. Somewhat; I have heard his character questioned by somo individuals. Frederick Whittlcsy, ono of tho Judges of tho Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County Q. How long havo you' been acquainted with H. B. Payno ? A. About six years. B. Are you acquainted with his general character, in tho neighborhood whero ho resides, f6r truth ? A. To some extent. Q. What is his general character in this respect ? A. I havo heard it questioned, Q. Have you not known Mr. Payne's professional statements, that is, his word of honor in court, questioned ; and aro thero not complaints of his want of veracity often heard among business men ? A, I have heard complamft of Mr. Payne's veracity from professional men. Q. Havo you not yourself declared that you believed he had stated falsehoods in court whilo you wero on tho bench ; or uttered words of a similar purport ? A. I have said that if tho statements of others were truo, his could not bo. Q. Docs Mr. Payno sustain a good "eliar-acter for truth, among respectable men whom you have heard speak of that character ? A. I havo heard his character for truth questioned by rcspcctablo men. Q. Frequently, or othorwise ? A. I should shy soveral tirhes. Question hy the CMmittee, by request of Mr. Fayne. Havo you heard Mr. Tayne's character Tor Veracity qnoationed by uny respectable persons other than members 'of tile bar, and if so, by whom, and how many, and under what circumstances ? A. My recollections aro confined to professional men ; though I may havo heard circumstances impugning his veracity from others, which are now not recollected. Samuel H. Mather Q. now long havo you been acquainted with II. B. Tayno ? A. Since tho winter of 183G. Q. Are you acquainted with his general character in tho neighborhood where he resides for truth ? A. I am. Q. What is that general 'character in that respect ? A. It is doubtful. T. P. Handy pays that ho is acquainted with Mr. P.'s character for truth and voracity ; " but wont tell what it is. In roply to tho ejuery, he says, " I cannot ansffdr that question." Mr. John Erwin, a good Democrat, wo pro-sumo, who says that he has known Mr. Payno for eight years, and know him when he was studying law in New Yorlt, gives Mr. P. a very 'curious sort of an avorago character. Ho says : Q. Arb you; acquainted with his general character for truth In tho neighborhood whore ho resides r A. I think I am. Q. What is his cWa'ct'cr iii thAt respect ? A. As a gcnoral thing, take the community togothcr, I should think it is good. And this is tho samo riinn the people of Ohio aro asked to support for tho highest of-fico within their gift a man who at that time could not be believed under 'oath! Truly, a pretty offico-soekor. Tho abovo t'vldchcc cannot be denied, for it is in tho forrrl of a Legislative Documont, printed by Stato printer for tho members of tho Legislature, and for tho pcoplo of the Stale tt has 'official itamped on it, and cannot bo 'controverted or denied. Tho go'od pcoplo of this Stato will tako care that no such man shall disgrace th'e Executive chair of Ohio that no mau who cannot bo Belieted inder batK by his friends' arid neighbors shall ever executo the laws of tho third Stato in tho Union. Emancipation on a Largo Scale. Tho South, published at Richmond, Va., says that Mrs. Coulter, of Stafford county, who died a few days ago, by her will manu mitted ninety-one slaves, tho emancipation to lake effect on tbo 1st of January next Tho South adds : CMrleS; her fivrfrito Irian servant, receives his freedom at once, and an annuity of $100 for life, and sufficient money to take him to such slate or Country as he may prefer. For tho others the executors are 10 ascer tain what fund will be sufficient to provide the usual outfit for removing them to Liberia or any free Stale or coifntfy to which they may elect to live. . . The wilt further provides that if any 'if the servants shall prefer to remain in Virginia instead of accepting the foregoing provisions, they are permitted to select a master from imon'g tiro relative! of the deceased. Lmcr from KtiiisnV"Anoflicr Aa-8iisi'iinlioiMiiid Consequent Incitement.Corrospondonoo of tho Missouri Democrat, Iflth Inst, IEcnMPTOSf, Sept. 5th. On Wednesday, tho 2d inst., at a ball given by the citizens of Lecompton, Calvin Builey, a Free State citizen of tho town, was mortally wounded by Liout. Brockott of that place. Brockett is known as ono of tho most ultra pro-slavery men in tho territory, and was actively engagod during tho difficulties. At the battlo of Black Jack ho was II. Clay Pate's se'eond in command. . On tho night in quostion ho was much intoxicated, and s'woro that ho would havo tho iifo of a Frco State man before morning. Mr. Bailey, who with his brother, is in business at Lecompton, was present at tho ball, and during tho evening left tho hall for tho pur-poso of assisting an acquaintance homo. The person ho was aiding being intoxicated, demurred to Bailey's action, and Brockett interfered, and without tho slightest provocation stabbed him in several places. The bowio knife entered the right iung, and at tho last accounts Mr. Bailey was not expected to livo but a few ho&rs. Brtckctt was arrested, but his associates are determined to prevent his committal or trial. An endeavor was mado to get Judge Wood to take straw bail, but thcgre.it majority of tho citizens of Lecompton condemning the outrage, tho pressure was too strong, and the bail was fixed at $2,000. On Saturday last Lecompton presented a singular scene one portion of the men being under arms, determined that the prisoner should not bo tried, and tho Other determined that he should. Tho excitement is intense, and 4hc fact of the meeting of the Constitutional Convention being at band, would strengthen the belief that a collision will occur before long. It is a general feeling in Lawrence that tho various eastern correspondents will find it difficult to attend the sittings of that body. Tho pro-slavery men aro particularly bitter against Col. Tliilips of tiro Now York Tribune, for an article in which ho said " that unless guarded by tho United States army, tho Convention would have to frame its Constitution in Missouri." Brown, of Walker's organ, has been using this as an argument against Phillips, and as his paper is extensively circulated in Lecompton, tho effect has been to excite tho passions of tho ultras against Mr. Phillips, Some difficulty will doubtless grovr out of tho affair.Gillespie, Wilson and Gordon, tho three men lately arrested by the Leavenwortn Vi gilance Committee,' wero taken out ot their confinement by tho oxcitcd populace, and would have been shmiriarily executed, but for tho exertions of Mayor Adams and othcrgen-tlcmcn, who, pledging themselves that justice should bo dono, persuaded tho pcoplo to forego their Vengeance. O'Brien, ono of the gang, whoso prosenco is wanted to complete tho ovidenco, has not yet been arrested. It is supposed that ho escaped down tho river and officers havo been sent after him. An elec tion for city officors was to bo hold on Mon day, tho 7th inst., and somo apprehensions are expressed that disturbance might ensue. The Frco State party is tcry actively en gaged in Holding nominating conventions and preparing for the October election. They arc determined to deserve success by working hard for it. Tho volunteer military organization is rapidly augmenting and many men aro enrolled. YourS, &'c; S. 3. II. Locofoco Stealings. Tho 'Ohio State Journal lets drivo at tho fr 'cofoco party for its unfairness and meannosg in charging the late enormous defalcation oh (ho Republican party, as follows : We tan show where Gov. Mcdill has paid men for personal services lb himself and party out of tho Stato Treasury. Wo can show where locofoco papers in this city havo been printed on Stato paper ; while tho military arms of tho State have been sold by locofoco officials, in ono instance, to tho amount of six teen hundred dollars, and the money never paid ihto tho treasury. We can show how tho peoplo's money was taken by tho handful to enrich corrupt contractors of tho State Houso and LunaticAsyluraS, and how men who had chargo of tho Ohio Penitentiary ab stracted' the public moneys in a manner that ttould havo disgraced sMfd of tho convicts b'ver whbfrl they had charge'. Many of theso acts stand recorded on tho imperishable records of the General Assembly, and the others, wo believe, are susceptible of being proved by indisputable testimony bo fore any court of justiSo. We commend the gerttry who aro now try ing to blacken tho fair name of ono of the no blest mon that the poopto of Ohio ettsf honor ed with their confidence, to husband their re sources, and not prcsunio any further upon tho forbearance of Ihcir opponents, tho Wen Who aro n'oW endeavoring to turn the current of public indignation from iU proper channels into dircctiors devious and winding, that they may escape frbtn the consequences of their 6'wn acts, and screen' Ih'o gu"!tty and wrong the innocent, know full well the hue of tho catalogue that is written against them, and it is only the common trick of the dotcctcd criminal, who hopes to escape by joining tho hue and cry of stop thief, which tbey aro at tempting to palm off upon the public. Ascensios JiAtii or liasfo's College. Tbo F-inscopdtian says that the contract for erecting the basement of this large building has been taken on Tory favorable terms for the College, by experienced mechanics' of M(, Vernon. A very good quarry of stone has beon found but a little more than a mile from the site of the Hall ; and a goodly company of laborers are pustung forward the work mill I commendable energy. ' WHAT THE FREE STATE MEN OF KANSAS ASK. BoW wo givo a couplo of extracts front tho Lawronco llepublican of tho 13th inst. They tell the whole story : give us oun mollis, . Let it evor bo remembered that tho pcoplo of Kansas ask and havo asked for only those primary, common and simplo rights which tho Constitution guarantees to every American citizen. Givo tho pcoplo of Kansas tho plainest and simplest rights which tho people of Michigan', or Ohio, or New York enjoy, and thero will bo no moro troublo in Kansas than thero is in those States. Givo tho pcoplo of Kansas their plainest and simplest rights, and hot a soldier will bo needed fn Kansas. A crushed, a down-trodden, a worried, a har-rasscd people, wo stand beforo the bar of our country and ask for our rights. I'llEItG Is to Sali.ot box Or-EN t6 TIIlS TE0-TLE OF KASSAS. So fur ns wc havo observed, every press in tho whole country condemning the policy pursued by tho Free State men of Kansas, uniformly assumes that wo nitty correct at the ballot-box all tho wrongs of which w'o complain. This they ring in the cars ol their readers until a great Ynany good and honest men, led away by these misrepresentations, really suppose that the pcoplo of Kansas havo the same ready, unrestricted access to the ballot- box as do the citizens of Ohio or Now York. Such representations aro inhorently, radically and universally -false. It is a complete and unmitigated insult to talk to the pcoplo of Kansas about redressing their wrongs.at tho ballot-boS, so long as tho baliot-box is !n tho liana's of their.cnemies, and hedged about by just such restrictions as thoso enemies sco fit to mako. Thero has never yet been a fair election in Kansas under tho auspices of the so-called "regular authorities." The very election for Territorial officers was controlled, as all tho world knows, by Missouri bowio knives and revolvers. At the second Territorial election the ballot box was hedged about by degraded test oaths, and an illegal tax; and now, at the next general elections in October, a most wicked and infamous apportionment will have completely disfranchised fifteen counties of Kansas, a six months residence will thin out half tho ranks of thoso not disfranchised by tho apportionment, ond finally, a tax moro enormous than any State ever yet dared to impose upon her peoplo for any pur pose whatever, will rcduco to ft mero handful 1 . L. L tho mcagro remnant left cy tho action of tho apportionment and tho six months' residence What perfect nonsonoo a id insult to talk of redressing wrongs at tho ballot-box under such circumstance ! It is a cruel and wicked taunt ! You might as well tell a man to road after putting his eyes out ! No, no, rjur tyrannical "law and order," "Democratic", dospots daro not let us vote. Wo tfefy them to submit thoir proposed Constitution to a full and fair voto of tho wholo peoplo. Wo defy them to let tho whole pcoplo havo a fair choice between it and tho Topeka Constitution. We defy them to let us havo a fair and honest cie'etion this full in October. Wo will agree forever after to abide tho result if tinder tho qualifications prescribed for voters at the first election by tho Organic Act, Gov. Walker will order an election, appoint tho judges of that election himsolf, and thon submit tho question of Freedom or Slavery Tbpoka Consti tution, or Lecompton Constitution Delegate to Cohgross rind members of the Territorial Legislature, to a peaceful arbitrament at tho polls! "W Wo defy tlio Pro-Slavery party to accept ttiifl jirop'iisitiin. Wo defy tllb'irl to Accept either or all of them. Wo know they daro not, for wo know that nine-tenths of the people aro with us, and against them. hov. Walker fin? the Catholic!). The Frcoman's Journal, tho official organ of tho Romish Church in New York, thinks that if Walker is not sustained by tho admin istration, ho will bo the next President. At least so wo interpret tho following extract from its last is3uo : As to tho partv which elected Mr. Buchan an. H will find especial r cason hereafter for gratitude to him for the stand ho has taken. since any course less decided or less conservative would result in not leaving to tfic Demo cratic party in ISCta sm'gfo no'n'-slaVcnolding State, nor haf a dozen Congressional districts in any Northern State. Wo commend this latter consideration to the mature reflection of President mnkers in 18C0. If the fear of ren dering Mr. Wnlltcr too for&iuaWo iS having any effect on tho courso of action 6T certain gentlemen, they may easily convinco tnem- Bclvcs by inquiry that a ficrco opposition to him on tho Kansas question will have tho in evitable result of rendering him the only possible Democratic candidato for the noxt Pres idency.

The Frosidiug Eldcrof a Camp-.llccting Mobbed. Newcastle, t)A. Aug. 21, 837. At the closo of the cainp-niecting forGreens-boro Circuit, Carolina County, Md., held at Boonsboro, and which closed a fow days ago thero was witnosscd ono of tho grossest Pro-Slavery outrages whiqh has over occurred in tho state of Maryland. At many meetings of this kind, it is usual at the closo of camp meetings for all members of tho Church (Mothodist Kpiscopal) to march around tho ground, insido of tho circle formed by tho tents, and sing somo hymn appropriate to tho parting of those who have tcen worshippers together in tro t'critcd grave for tho week or moro of tVio nicotine's continuance. Ordinarily the colored people form in march ing order, and defile into lino immediately af-1. . .. , .. , , V .'' cd tor tho whites ; but in somo localities, lest of- fense should be taken by outsiders, the colored peoplo are marched around by themselves, and after tho procession of tho whites has taken place. To conciliate thp l'ro-Sluvery sentiment in tiio locality, the latter plan was adopt ed by tho prudent dignitary who had charge of tltc interests of the n)cctin";. Tho Eov. Wrm. McCombs, tho Presiding Elder, placed himself at the head of the pro cession of the colored memlwrs of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which was mado up of slaves and frco people of color ; when a mob bfv more than fifty persons, led bri by an ex-dignitary of t'.16 count'', entered the circle and came up immediately abreast tiio profession. , . . Tib leader o f tlio mob forbado Mr. McCombs to tuko another step at his peril, and threaten ed him with vogeanco of ttte mob should no dare to advance. Tho Presiding Elder, intimidated by threats of personal violence, and fearing bloodshed and a general melee, quit his place at the head of the procession, and the mob was triumphant on the ground mado as sacred by tho laws of Maryland as is tho insido of a church. A False Issue. Tho Washington Union says that, " in sub mitting tlio new constitution or Iowa, tho question of cqiiaUty of whites and hcgro.'s as to political privileges, was submitted to the peoplo. Nearly tho wholo voto of tho Stato was against it Few moii in Iowit were found voluntarily to vote themselves tho equals of ncgroos." Tho Unfori mistakes tho ii'siio Vrlifch the Republicans make with tho Administration not only in Iowa, but in all the northern States. Tho Republicans insist that tho whites ought to have at least as good a chance in tho country ns tho blacks, if not a better j 'they insist upon taking their labor into tl;0 western territorial markot on as "rood terms as tho southern capitalist takes his. Both these pretensions tho party which the Union serves, resists.
