C, W, Ellis has come to he the great gun of 14-lfkr democracy in this county. Tie was the cvtly speaker at the .county Convention, 7 --and the only person living here that was in vited to speak at the mass meeting, All right, gentlemen, Since sham democracy ba,s comoi to.despise and defy the will of the people, we know of no more suitable mouthpiece for. this cotwty„than the man who," l Anever concealed his contempt :or the people., sea wile in 1844 called 41/ democrats ' l' cattle." • • ' • ('The excrescent gentleman who closed the exercises op S,atur4ay at the Court House outdid- himself. He commenced hiS speech . by 'saying that the Free Soilers. had slcisekwed the Whigs, and ended,hy saying that the Free goilers bad cetised to. be a party, and were only an excrescence stuck'or 4 . to the Whig party. • This gentleman goneially contradicts one day what he said the flay before, but he does not often contradict at the dose of his' speech what he said at the commence ment, as he did on Saturday. But we thank him for the allusion to ex crescences. For be is; sometimes a Whig, sometimes a Free :Soiler, and sometimes a lingua: Democrat, but always. an "excrespence.". ' DZKOCBACY: Senator..

His great dettainstration in Chicago, at/ir the passage . of the Filgitip, slave bill, doubtless confirraed.hiti-in. the idea that the People were nathine But we rejoice . that ha has at last. received a rebuke that he Will remelt)• ber to the day of his death.. His-as sociates in the late outrageous legisla tion alsp see in 'this rebuke of Douglas, loud . call on them to pre. pare for a similar fate, ' Senator Dougt las claims Chicago as his home, al though the largest part of his property consists of slaves and a slave planta tion in Mississippi. , He determined that Chicago should endorse his course, whether the intelligent citizens of that place would or not. So a body-guard of tipelve Irishmen from each •ward were hired to attend the meeting and to • put through any resolutions that might be offered; and as many of Douglas's personal friends were brought in from the .country as could be procured. These aripngements• were all made before any Public tice of the meeting was called. On. the afternoon of September 2nd, hand- bills were.po:3tecl calling the mectiiig that pvvping; ‘ lmtnecli4tely the flags of 'all the shipping in the luv.bee• were displayed at half-mast; and continued to wave thus all the art .noon! At a quarter paSt sit, the bells of the city begansto toll, and fc. f r 2norc than ari hour pealed fo:•th their monming -wail over a free State dishonored, and a free city sought to be disgraced by a Senator and a citizen! By- the way, this tollieg of bells will have to be stopped somehow or other, for it is becoming intolerable”---to old hunkers. ' Well, notwithstanding the brief no tice, there `'ere EIGHT TIIOI;9AND FREE VOTERS on the grouod when the.rneet, ing organized. The demonstration of Freemen' was so powerful, that Doug las was 'received in entire silence. Even the hired body-gu'ard could not raise a single cheer.. The Chicego Tribune describes the opening of the meeting - as follows' He commenced by saying, that he wished to elucidate the principles of the Nebraska Bill. He was satisfied that there was not one among his au (Ilene° who understood that Bill,— (Three hearty and indisputable groans here gueetet) the orator.) The Bill' had never been published in any of our city papers'. (At this most ridic ulous and unfounded statement, the audience were convulsed with laugh ter,, and groans. It had, however, been published that morning in one of our city papers, (his own.organ;) and there it might be read. Here the audience became ungovernable, and cries of all descriptions rent the ,r Nobody reads'. that paper." • "It would be of .tio use if they did." DOuglas thinks no one but himself knows anything!":—which subsided for a few moments, only to- break out again at some f-esh insult, Douglas spoke for about an hour, when his insults became intolerable, and be was silenced by the demonstra tion's of displeasure. - We have given- an account of this meeting simply to shoW the spirit and purpose of hunkerism. What it is in Chicago, it leas in Coudersport till the Freemen of this county bumbled its pride and subdued its arrogaide. But something of the same spirit has beeri manifested even here for the last six months. We have beard of !Several hunker leaders saying that the People here. did - not understand this bill, or they would approve of it; and we have frequently beard one of them say that the People were gort,.netl' by wealth, and drat it was no use to struggle against .slavery, fur the wealth of the country was with the slave holders, and it welt. triumph. • Such are the views • of the - leaders of sham democracy in this comity, and through out the nation. _Tience the nornioa tion of H. H. Dent for Congress. •lit is expected that his lavish expenditure of money will induce the ho lest farmer" to turn his o back - on' his principles, and vote for the. allies of Slavery. 'We hope and believe that this base opinion of the Freemen of this county will meet with as signal a rebuke at the polls to a like exiectatimi of Douglas met in a public meeting at, Chicago., rgr ti Dead as Etouglas," is now used as the strongest phrase for indi catiog tho entire Absence of vitality, onnt Orr sot tocak. lit the regular old line democratic convention in Tioga county, the . fol. ly resolution was adopted )owing 'man with wily one or two dissenting votes: resolecd, That WAS will not support any man fot• office who 'has not been openly and tinequivocally opposed to the repeal of said Compromisekatul to the extension of Slavery Into tree tetrttorv, nod who will not pledge himself to -me his whole influence - for the reenaptment of said Comprotnise, against thp. Wilier extension of Slavery • and encroach ments of the Slave power. There is sense and manliness in that. Whoever adopts'tbat resolution will . his vote from William Bigler, and the ,Convention so under stood. it, for it did not endorse bis Excellency in any way; and we are informed by reliable men, that the mass of the party in Tiegi repudiate Bigler and all other defenders of the Douglag fraud. There is ntccaring in Tioga county. On the contrary, they have taken the advice of Wilmot, and are about to strike down the allies of the National Admin. istiatioth We commend the above resolu. ion ornld line democrats in Tioga county to the honest portion o the party in this county. We think such, men ancrthe:r resolutions are. entitled•to more respeot than ,the im ported writers; And shilling leaders of this county, The ]cadets are trying to create the impression that there is no necessity for further agitation. They know better. They know that tho Slave power will make further demands, but they care nothing for all this, sq iho 241; iy arn be preserved. Col Benton bas told - what these demands of Slavery wihl be, and-so have bun. dregs of other intelligent men. Hon. John Wentwinth, always a demoerat, writing horrie to his . constituents of - the rejoicings of the slaveholders - at the defeat of Beata.", and the ph:infor further aggressions, Long .

Benton is the only opponent who has ,submitted his name to the people. He hrs .fallen. , The c cry is, let all ether Democrats who I opposed the roneal share his fate, and the star of slavery extension will,be it' the ascendant. The forthcoming measures arc: Ist.. The formation of a new slave State from the south of California. 2nd, The nationalization of the insti tuting' of slavery. Slavery is now sec tional, and the man who takes his slaves into a free State does so at the peril of his slaves. A very few words incorporated into an appropriation bill, or smuggled into some private is all that is wanting.. his said that'the following will be the words: The pi ()petty of no citizen of-any State shall be endangered or flirfeited, whilst being occupied. in, or trans ported through' any other State."— The idea is, that while no citizen of Illinois can hold slaves, under our Illinois law, a citizen of another State' may occupy a farm in Illinois with his slaves, transport them backwards and forwards without - clangor of fo:feiture. Thus, whilst we are looking to rem-, edy the past, the South has two great measures for the future. And if a man will go right in for these two measures, the South would take him for Congress though he introduced a bill to abolish slavery-in the District of Columbia, to repeal the Fugitive Slave law and to repeal the Kansas and Nebraska bill as soon as he took his seat, Does any man in this county doubt the truth of the above statement? If not, what ,remedy do you propose? Or will yonjoliow the advice of the speakers at the mass meeting and submit? Every man who has a parti• ele of spirit in h'n, will scout the idea of ir bmission, . and will vote for no mail( Nyli6 carnet be relied on to resist the aggressions of Slavery above point. ed out. and all others that may be undertaken. re The second Kansas party sent out under the auspices of the -L'ni grant Aid : Society, passed through Albany 300 strong on the 30th of August.• ~ Tbe third party, still larger, is about ready to start.
