Marietta Meeting The proceedings of the meeting of the Ma rietta Democracy, which are very lengthy, held on the evening of the 9th inst., only came to hand on yesterday. at 11 o'clock—too late for insertion in this week's Intelligencer.— They Shall appear in full in our next issue. The Benton Ticket Withdrawn. By a telegraphic dispatch from St. Louis, we learn that, since the defeat of 001. Benton and the triumphant election of Mr. POLK (the regular Democratic candidate) to the Guber natorial chair of Missouri, the Benton electoral ticket hes been withdrawn, and the whole party will now;have but the one regular Dem ocratio ticket in the field. This secures 'the State of Missouri for BIICILAN2L' and Basos.- marnoi . h3F:not less thari twenty thousand . majority. What is this bill that the 'Back Republicans keep up such an undefined and senseless howl ::!)out, for the purpose of misleading and prej udicing the minds of honest but unsuspecting rers ? The getters up of this cry are so regardless of fact, and so, presuiting of the ignorance and inattention of the people, ,that they start out with the false declazation, that in endorsing the Kansas 'bill.the Democratic party has committed itself to the extension of slavery ! Never did any party set out' on an electioneering campaign with a more false declaration—and that, too, their whole stock in trade. To show these Black Republican falsifiers up in their true colors to the- scorn and detestation of every sensible man, we quote the clause of the bill upon which the base lie is predicated : SECTION 32. That the Constitution and all laws of the United States which are not locally inapplicable shall have the same force and ef fect within the said territory or Kansas as elsewhere,-except the Bth section of the act:pre paratory to the admission of Missouri into the Union, approved Narch Bth 1820, which being imconsistent with the principle of non-inter vention by congress with slavery in the states and territories, as recognized by the legislation of 1850, commonly called the " compromise measures," is hereby declared inoperative and. void ; it being the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into .anyatate or territory, nor.to exclude it therefcom, but to leave the people thereof perfectlx(ree to frill and regulate their own domeetieinstitutiona iri their own way, subject only..to the constitution of the' United States. Wilson McCandless Now this is ; the 9,rginio law of Kansas. It is the same as_tbai of Nebraska, but is never spoken of in connection with it, because, under precisely the same clause, this latter Territory has organized with free institutions I The provision distinctly is, as every intelligent reader will admit, that the people Mall regu late their own domestic concerns iri their own way. This *vision is founded on a principle as old as democracy itself. The justness of the principle is as apparent as the right of seg-government—indeed, it is self-government under the name of "popular sovereignty." It is what every town and township, what every County and State, in their capacities ask for. Lancaster city has no right to join a part of the citizens of Manheim township and control their system of roads or schools ; nor has a County or State any right to dictate a policy to any other County or State, or any State or conibintion •of States to- any-Territory:— The separate and independent powers of our Municipal, State and National governments, are peculiar to this countty alone, and consti tute the greatest safeguards of the rights and liberties of the people. We supp'ose every intelligent person will admit that the people of Pennsylvania have a perfect constitutional right to either.abolish slavery, which they have done, or establish it, if they think proper. The right to do so, pre-supposes the capability of the people to do so intelligently.. Well,..then, if- here, •in the• heart of the old Keystone State, we have the constitutional right to decide the slavery ques tion for ourselves, and are capable of so doing —does it not follow, that if we emigrate to Kansas or any other of the Territories of the United States, we have the same constitutional right and possess the same qualifications for deciding the question for ourselves that we did whilst residents of Pennsylvania? Does the mere transfer of our citizenship from Pennsylvania to Kansas make us less men, or less capable of deciding for ourselves what is best for us? But, we need not argue the question any farther. Tho principle is so plain, and unmis takeably correct, that it would be an insult to the intelligence of our readers to extend our remarks in favor of the great doctrine of pop ular sovereignty. Fremont's Beef Speculation GALPHINISM WITH A VENGEANCE! An-examination of the official documents, laid before Ccingress by the late President Taylor, will show thitt fIDI.,,Jons C. FREMONT, when in command of his reginieitt*Califor nia, made a contract for six hundred coif& These cows were purchased by him, under the pretence that they were needed for beef for the troops, and the sum of $6,975 was paid for them by the government. These animals were never used by the soldiers, but were de livered to a man named Abel Stearns, with whom Fremont had made an agreement to take and keep them on the shares for three years us his (Fremont's) private property! We repeat, this fact is officially stated in a letter addressed to Adjutant General Jones, at Washington -City, by Col. Mason of the first regiment (if U. S. Dragoons, who had been called upon to foot the bill for the Gen eral Government. Just think of it. An officer in the U. S. Army tolmy six hundred cows, ostensibly for beef fof his regiment, at the public expense, and then make a contract with a private indi 7 vidual to take the cows and breed them on shares for three years ! Monstrous ! And yet this fact • is officially stated, and accompa nied by documents to prove the allegation,— Will the honest voters of the country support any man for the high office of President of the U. State's - n - 110 is guilty of such an act of fraud, corruption and peculation ? To assert it is to libel the American people. It is not to be wondered at that George Law, the great steamship fhonopolist and rusty musket speculator has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars to secure the nomination of this great beef speculator. George Law knew his man! It is not surprising either that the New York Herald, the most villain ously corrupt paper in the world, supports Fremont for President. Bennett also knows his man! Shall heartless speculators and grasping Galphinites rule the destinies of this country? That is one of the great questions for the peo ple to answer at the ballot box. Last week we gave a synopsis of the great speech of JAMES B. CLAY, Esq., (son of Henry Clay,) in favor of the election of BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDOE—aIso the address of Sena tor PRATT to the Whigs of Maryland. Both these gentlemen have heretofore been leading and prominent -Whigs in their respective States, and their words of warning and advice should be heeded by every patriotic Whig in the whole country. The other Whig U. S. Senator from Maryland, Hon. JemesA.PIERCE, is also out in a powerful address in favor of MR. BUCHANAN. So, also, Hon. &NERDY JoamoN, of Baltimore, formerly Attorney General of the U. States, and JOHN W., ems raub, Esq., another of the ablest and most influential Whig leaders in that State. We regret that we have not room for all these important documents. In another column of this week's paper will be found the powerful and convincing speech made by Hon. JOSIAH RANDALL, of Pennsyl sylvania, at the Democratic Convention at Chambersburg. Mr. RANDALL has long been favorably known as one of the ablest Whig leaders in Pennsylvania, and his plain, point ed and truthful remarks must have an im mense influence on the approaching October and November elections. We advise all our old line Whig friends to read this great speech. DIRECT FROM ILrawom•—The Oswego Ga zette says : Mr. CHARLES PARK reached this village direct from Chicago yesterday, and re ports that Illinois is positively certain for Buchanan , and Breakinridge - by - a very large_ majority—some putting it as high as 30,000. The Kansas.lllU.,. . Great Documents. Sympathy of James Buchanan for the workingman. In lobking over an old file of the Army and Navy amide, says the Boston Daily Times, we came across the .following letter written .by Mr. Buchanan; tliark a United Cates Sen ator, from Pennsylvania,. to the - Hon. - I%lolon Dickerson, then Secretary of tba - Navy. though nearly twenty years ago, it is , another of the many evidences of the sympaiky of James Buchanan for the laboring classes. We cannot find on record any thing that would show Mr. B's want of feeling to the - colored men, whom some of our rampant Black Re publicans are wont to call "men and bretht ren," nor can we find anything which would go to show that Mr. Buchanan in - hie, prover bial i;enevoleitee, gave preference to thenegro over the men of his own color andAleed. A COnstitutlbnal Democrat and a ,friend - of :the Union., he looks upon the equal with the North, and he will sustain the rights of each under the Constitution . As a statesman, he regards this as a government of white men, not a government ofvolored men. As a phi lanthropist, he feels that the condition of the three millions of blacks in our Southern States is incomparably better; in being well fed, well housed, well clothed, and well cared for, in every moral and physical detail, than any other three millions 'of negroes that ever have existed in any part of the world. But read the letter of Mr, Buchanan, and the white laborers and mechanics of the North will per ceive that his feelings are not intensified upon a race upon whom God has placed his mark distinguishing them fronea superior creation, created for a distinct purpose: Wallin:arm, Deo. 26, 1837. MY DEAR SIR :—Permit me to address you on a subject which has excited much feeling throughout the city and county of Philadel phia, and has enlisted my warmest sympathies. Five hundred mechanics have been suddenly thrown out of employment in the NMI Yard in Philadelphia, at this inclement season of the year. Most of them depending on their daily laboi for their daily , bread, you can easily appreciate what must be their sufferings.— Their large families (as a friend informs me) axe in a most lamentable condition, and God only knows what will become of them unless government gives them employment. Now, sir, allow me to remark that nothing short of necessity ought to compel a paternal government to place such a body of mechanics who have faithfully performed their duty in such deplorable circusislic%Cea,—,Lliziewthat theaeolinga of heart will respond to this sentiment. Why not, then, make an effort for their relief? They ask no favor, but to be permitted to give, in their labor, an equivalent for bread for themselves, their wives and their children. I understand that there is now a frigate at the Navy Yard, on which they might be employed. Even if the department, under other circum stances should deem it more advisable, for the present, to delay completion, still a few months in point of time, becomes comparatively insig nificant, when weighed in the balance against humanity and justice. Besides, unless the Navy Yard at Philadelphia is to be abandoned, which I trust is not contemplated by the de partment, it is of great importance to the government to prevent such a body of faithful mechanics from dispersing. I therefore appeal to you, with confidence, to grant them employment—and I almost envy you the power of conferring-blessings upon so many industrious and meritorious citizens, without doing injury to the Government. I feel confident you will pardon me for requesting as early an answer to this commu nication as may be consistent with your con venience. Yours, very respectfully, • JAMES BUCHANAN. Hos. MARLos DICKERSON, Secretary of the Navy. Dayton's Antecedents Little or nothing is, as yet, known of the antecedents of the Black Republican candidate for Vice President, W. L. Dayton. It would seem, however, from recent developments, that he is a chip from the old- federal block. He voted in Congress against refunding to.G en. Jackson the fine imposed upon the old hero by Judge Hall fur declaring martial law, and sa ving the "beauty and booty" of New Orleans from the grasp of Britains' hireling soldiers. man whose soul is so small as that vote indicates W. L. Dayton's to be, cannot receive the ballot of any true American, although he may answer as a candidate for such sham Americans and mock Republicans as Greely & Co. This same William L. Dayton, it should be remembered, whilst a member of the United States Senate, when the question of abolishing the brutal practice of flogging in the American Navy was before that body, voted for flogging white men. This intensely Africanized gentle man, who can shed crocodile tears over the pretended wrongs of the negroes, and scream long and loud for " bleeding Kansas," has not the least sympathy to express for his brave countrymen, who, amidst the storm of battles have carried the flag of our country in triumph upon every sea. Oh, no ! These brave tars, for the most trivial breach of naval discipline, he would see stripped naked, and tied up to the mast and their quivering flesh cut from their bones. So he voted.. White men, re member this man is now before the people, so liciting your.votes on the gone of his love for the negroes! The Three-fifth Provision in the Con- stitutton. There is no part of the Federal Constitution which the Black Republicans wage a more vigorous war against than what is called fife three-fifth basis of representation. They con stantly assert that by that provision the slave States have greatly the advantage over the free. Owing to the fact that it has not been generally explained by the Democratic press and speakers, an unusual amount of ignorance exists in relation to it. It is by no means an uncommon thing for Black Republican speak ers to tell their audience that a man having one hundred slaves at the South, in fact, gives sixty-one votes at the ballot-box—one for him self and sixty for his slaves—upon the basis of three votes for every five slaves. Their newspaper organs, either ignorantly or design edly, often intimate the same idea. Now, the the fact is that in no State of the Union does a man give more than a single vote, and the three-fifth basis is positively a disadvantage and source of weakness to the South. In the North, as far as respects Congressional repre sentation, if there are ninety thousand negroes in a State an additional member of Congress is gained—a negro being the same as a white man, though no political privileges whatever are allowed them. But in the South, five negro slaves are counted in the Congressional rep resentation as only three whites, so that it takes one hundred and twenty thousand ne groes to have a membdr of Congress, when, at the North, ninety_thousand will !lo.—lt is ob vious, therefore, that the threa-fifths basis of the Constitution is disadvantageous to the South, and that her citizens, rather than those at the North, have reason to complain of it.— If it was abolished, and Southern negroes counted as much as Northern negroes in rep resentation, the slave States would have twen ty members of Congress more than they have. This is what the North gains by the three-fifth basis, yet we constantly hear flippant and shallow Black Republican orators declaiming against it. Cumberland County. The Democratic nominations for this county are ; Congress—Dr. John A. Ahl. Assembly—Wm. Harper, J. Anderson. Judges—S. Woodburn, John Rupp. Rnhert 0. Winthrop. HIS REASONS FOR SUPPORTING JAMES BUCHANAN.' This gentleman, a leading Whig of Maastt chusetts and formerly Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress, was lately, in vited to attend a Kansas Aid:Meeting in _ )teil.Hall'in Boston, to Whieh.he replies in a calm, dignified manner, buttekee occuiputo 'administer a just and merited rebuke to such . .„ traitgri,' as oreinstigating rebellionin Kansas, Cereby Visitingupon the country the evils of '6148 war and a dissolutiorAf this - glorious Union. His letter is worthy of •an old line Whig statesman; whose affectinns are cantered , the Constitution of his country, and ivho is willing to sacrifice party attaelnients when our free institutions. are in peril. In closing his letter he .states his position in. the folhiw ing language : - • • • There is really but one absorbing question now before the_people. In the solemn magni tude of its presence all others are hushed.— This question is at last presented iris tangible form, shall the Union be preserved? or shall the rst step be taken toward the entire dis ruption of the States of the Union by a sever ance of the North from the South? - Looking at the political .signs of the times, with this question staring us in the face, we make our choice of candidates. The nominees of . the Cincinnati 'Convention make the preserva tion of, the Union the matter of paramonnt interest. Other principles are advocated ; but if any subserviency is tobe made, all the others may be compromised, all of them may be sub servant; but "the Union, it must be preser ved." " On the other hand, the preservation of the Union is a minor and secondary iminciple with those who have met in convention under the title ofßepublic.ans. Withthemthepreservation of the Union is to be tolerated as a matter of contingency. Mr. Banks committed the first act of treason in diclaring in the halls of Congress that he was in favor of "letting the Union slide," unless a favorite crochet of his own or his associates could be endorsed. . " This is the broad and grand division of the question that mow divides the country ; and in view of it we hesitate not to declare our infinite preference for James Buchanan to any other man who sustains the least chance of election, and to endorse him as a man well calculated to face the factions in our own land, and the wiles, and .combinations, and mani fold diplomacyof the trickster politicians of the old world.', DEDIOCRATIG CLUB MEETINGS Elizabethtown Pole Raising and Club Meeting. . A very large and spirited meeting of the Democracy and <Ahem washeld at wll , -.bethtown,on Saturday week, at the -house of G--W.lloyar. splentikkhickory:po id e,Trasented by John Gross, Esq., Of Itonegtik - was raised, and proudly _waves the glorious Bag of Damherady. ' - • The neetlug was addressed by H. B. Swarr,. and Jacob Myers, Esqrs., of Lancaster, in a very able and appropriate manner. There was also on the woe day, a call for a Fillmore meeting, for the purpose of forming a Club, but it proved a failure, and upon the arrival of the speaker It was found that he belonged to the dark aide, and consequently he en- tertained an audience of twenty or thirty upon John 0. Fremont's trials and tribulations on the Rocky Mountains, up to the time Johnny took the Woolly Horse to New York. Democracy here is in a well organized condition, and with the addition of names of old line whip to Ihe Club, we will be hard to beat. Paradise Township Our friends here are bestirring themselves. A BOCHLNAN Cum was formed at Lemon Place, on Tuesday evening last and about eighty names were subscribed on the spot— amongst 'whom were several gentlemen who bad always heretofore aged the whig ticket. That sterling old Demo crat, JOSEPH - L. Lrszvr.a, heads the organization, as Presi dent, with the following additional officers : Vice Presidents, Robert Tagert, Hugh Aiken, George L. Eckert, Jessie Hauck, G. F. Shultz, Jacob Bros; Recording Secretaries, P. M. Baby, R, J. Nichols ; Corresponding Sec retaries, John Groffner, Jas. J. Strawn ; Treasurer, George D. Mcllvain ; Marshal, Henry Cloud. The evening previous, the Black Republicans tried to start a FREMONT CLUB in the same township. We are cred. [llly informed that they numbered just THIRTEEN—aII told. Paradise township will give a good account of itself for BUCHANAN and BHECKINHIDGE, the Union and the Conklin. lion, in November next. The Strasburg Wheatland Club The "Wheatland Club" of the Borough and Township of Strasburg, met at the public house of William Echtemacht, on Friday evening, August Bth, 1858. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, Mr. J. D. Nichols presiding, and William Clark, acting Secretary for the evening. A Con stitution was presented, and unanimously adopted, and in accordance with it the following persons were chosen offi cers for the permanent organization of the Club: President, J. D. Nichols; Vice Presidents, Jacob Neff, James' Clark; Recording Secretary, John E. Glr- Fin ; Corresponding Secretary, Franklin Clark; Treasurer, James McPhail. Over seventy names were attached to the Constitution. The Club was then addressed in a very able manner, by M. Mulgrew, of Lancaster. Re referred to the long public servicee of James Buchanan, and urged the support of him, not alone upon the score of gratitude, but as the bounden duty of every friend of the Constitution and the Union. On motion, It was resolved, that the procesdingtrof the Club be published in the Lancaster Intelligencer, Ameri can Press and Republican, and Strasburg Bee. An Executive Committee was appointed, consisting of Samuel P. Bones, Esq., IV. T. McPhail, Jacob Hildebrand, and John Raub. The Club then adjourned, to meet on Friday evening, August 15th, at 8 o'clock, when severMlspeakers from a dis tance are expected to address the meeting. Conestoga.

'This announcement of the position taken . by Mr. Evans -was received with great cheering. • An eloquent and charaideristic' letter was then readirom Hon. RUFUS Cnowrz in reply Icran invitation to be present, from the Whig state counnittee, in which he declares his views of the duties ef - whigs, in the present urisis of Tiolitiettl affairs of the country: The first duty of Whigs, he says, because they are Whigs, is to units with.some organization to defeat and dissolve the new geographical par ty calling itself republican. Believing the noble ship of state to be within a half cable's length' of a -lee shore of rook, in a gale of wind, our firstbusinessis to puther about, and crowd her off into deep open sea. What Wash ington, Madison, Clay and Webster decided a remote and improbable contingency, is upon us. Yet some men would have- us go on laughing and singing like the traveller in the satire, with his pockets empty, at a present peril, the.mere apprehension of which, as a distinct and bare possibility, could sadden the heart of the Father of his Country, and dic tate the grave and grand warning of the fare well address. Considering what men are, Mr. Choate says that he does not say that the triumph of such a party as the republican ought to be expected naturally and probably tellisunire the states; but with his undtiubted convictions, it would be folly and immorality to risk it. In reference to -Kansas, Mr. C. says the country demand that Congress, before. it ad journs, shall give that territory peace. If it do, time will inevitably give it freedom, As between the candidates before the coun try, he says he shall not venture to counsel the whigs of Maine, but he deems it due to frankness and honor to say that, while he en tertains a .high appreciation of Mr. Fillmore, he does not sympathise with the objects of the party that nominated him: Practically, the contest is between Mr. Buchanan and Col. Fremont. In these circumstances he SHOULD GIVE HIS VOTE FOR MR. BUCHANAN ! His capacity is universally acknowledged; his life is without a stain; and he represents more completely than any other that sentiment of nationality—tolerant, warm and comprehen sive—without which America is no longer America. The State Election The approaching election in this State for. Canal Commissioner, Auditor General and Surveyor General is of unusual importance. It is not simply a question as to who shall fill those offices, but it will have the effect to de cide the political complexion of the State, and consequently have a decided influence on the Presidential election which takes place a few weeks after. We should bear in mind, and not lose sight of the fact for one moment, from this time until the second. Tuesday of October next,—that although the opponents of the Democratic party are divided in their Presidential preferences, they are as a unit in their support of the State ticket nominated- in opposition to that of the Democratic party-- On this question Fremont and Fillmore men and old hne Whigs, as far as party organiza tion is concerned, stand on the same platform, and therefore the necessity of extraordinary efforts and unusual vigilance on the part of the Democrats of this Commonwealch is evi dent to all who bestow on the matter the least reflection. From this time forward then,_let all who cherish democratic priqpip i l, and all who have at heart the success of crieire.if, 'LOOK TO THE STATE TICKET. We are no alarmists, nor do we desire to unnecessarily excite the fears of our friends—on the contrary we have no,hesitation in expressing our belief that with proper organization, the election of the democratic ticket by an overwhelming ma jority:is certain. But at the same time we feel that it cannot be done without working for it. We speak thus earnestly to our political friends because we are fearful that in contemplating the easy victory which they will achieve in the' Presidential election, they will overlook the:, October contest. That the Democrats can , overcome the consolidated opposition in a well contested and well fought campaign, we have i not a shadow of doubt; that under these cir- I cumstances, the majority in favor of the dem ocratic candidates will be very large, we feel equally confident. We therefore, do not bid our friends to despair, but only ask them to GO TO WORK.. We should carry Pennsyl vania at the first election by an overwhelming vote. We should -not be-content to strive for a bare majority, which would do well enough in other years, when we have no Presidential candidate in the political field. . . The State Central Committee in view of the importance of the October election have called a series of mass meetings in various sections of the State, commencing with Chamberaburg on the seventh of August and closing with Harrisburg on the first of October.—York Press. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editors of the Intelltgencer, dated Wagartonott, August lEdh, 18L6. The day of adjournment of Congress is so near at hand, that it is hardly worth the time to speculate upon the business that shall be adjusted or what *lll be left on. passed by .either House. It Is presumed that all the ap. propriation bills will be passed, after a few trials at con ference between the committees of both Houses. Should any of these Bills be left unfinished, It will be the fault of the black republican majority, in Making improper amend ments to those measures of National Imp ortance, as a "shriek for Kansas" and the outlawry th at have followed their ascenden cy of control in the Home. The Senate passed a compensation Bill, with an amend ment making the pay of members of Congress twenty-live hundred dollars per annumi leaving the pay of mileage as It now stands by the present law. This la a much better bill, and one more just to members of Congress, than the present poor pittance of pay they receive. How. ever, as the present Increased pay has passed the Senate by such a large vote ayes 35, nays Il,—we shall rejoice to learn, that the House will do Justice to themselves, by peeling the same, by an equally large vote as the Senate has done, according to the numbers of their respective Houses. Since the result of the recent State-elections are known to be so unfavorable to thefusion candidates, Messrs. Fill more and Fremont, it Is believed, from the best informa tion here, that know-nothing nationalism is de jure as well as defacto,dolur up. Many believe that Mr.-Filmore's name will be withdrawn from the canvass, or, that he will himself see the propriety of declining any farther the con test. But, let the opposition be single or double band. 'OM In their opposition to the nominees of the demo. cratic party, we repeat what you, Messrs. Editors, have So aptly said in your last valuable paper, that we prefer defeating the whole batch of oppodtlonists In a body, rather than beating them In detail." So we say and se we intend to do, let fusion, Fremont, or freablact-repub limns combine in what manner they please. From the best lights before me, and, we judge tram the results that have taken place, there Is but a poor show for the sectional Fremont ticket to be calculated upon in the coming re mit. From all points In the States the news Is cheering and encouraging; and we assert, that Mesas.

A Violent Assault.—Police Officer Gormley whilst in the discharge of his duty, in the southern part of the city, on the night of the 9th inst., was violently struck with a large stone, on the right side of his face. Mr. Gorm ley is one of our most active and efficient officers, and it is to be hoped that the villain who committed the assault will be promptly . brought to justice. Mayor Zimmerman offers a reward'ofs2s for his apprehension. Wheatland Clvb.—The regular meeting of the Club, on Saturday night, was presided over by Ist Vice President Howell, assisted by 4th V. P. PooPies. The Hall was crowded to suffocation. William H. Miller,.Esq., of Harrisburg, was introduced, and delivered an exceedingly able, eloquent and iutereeting address.

F. S. Warren, Esq., and Capt. Geo..Eanderson, and adjourned amid tho most intense cheering. Truly Wonderful.—To effectually cure a" person who has been a Stutterer or a Stammerer for half a century, or even 'for a much shorter period of time, has been one of the thi%ga that has baffled, nay, defied the genius and acuities of the most learnedly' Medical science for all ages. But before the march of science and education. all matters yield. This city was visited a few weeks since by one of tile most remarkable men of the age—not for his appearance—ewhich a that of a thorough gentleman—but for the extraordinary genius ke exhibits in entirely and effectually curing the most inveterate Stutterer in exist' encc. And the more extraordinary, still, when it is borne in mind that the cure is effected without pain or surgical operation. The name ; of this gentleman is-Dr. During his abort xojaiirn here, he relieved some forty pa tients from the city and county. He will return again, on Monday, 25th inst., and remain until Saturday, 10th, which will be pcsitiv4 his last visit to Lancaster county. He may be found at filichael's lintel, North Queen street; at the above specified time, when all persona afflicted will' the disease of Stnttering or Stammering would do well to give him a call. His cure can readily be sent by mail. So certain is his cure, that he not only offers to return the money in case a cure is not effected, but will forfeit $lO,OOO if any person can ever afterwards stutter, by the applica tion of his cure. Kansas The report made in the senate on Monday by Mr. Douglas,' from the territorial commit tee, states the objections to the house bill for the admission of Kansas under the Topeka constitution, subitantially as follows: First—lt incorporates into Kansas a portion of the Cherokee country, which the United States has by treaty pledged the faith of the nation should never he incorporated into any state or territory. Second—lt also incorporates into Kansas about 20,000 square miles of Mexico, estab lishes slavery therein until 1858, and prohib its it hereafter, in violation of the laws of the country, and of the compromise measures of 1850, which guarantied said territory should come into the Union with or without slavery, as the people should determine. Third - - , 4t legalizes,and establishes slavery in Kansas toad over a portion of New Mexico until 1858, and'providei that children here tofore born shall be slaves for life, d'hd their posterity after them,' providing; they are re moved into a slave state or territory prior to 1858. Fourth—lt recognizes the validity of the existing laws in Kansas, and provides for the faithful execution of them, except punishing murder, robbery, larceny and other crimes. Fifth—lt provides no guard against illegal voting, frauds in conducting the elections, or Tiolence at the polls ; but legalizes all such outrages by declaring that the law under which they could be punished shall not be en forced. The report recommends the pasiage of the bill, which has twice passed the Senate, declar ing all the ebnasions laws null and void, and allowing the people to form a constitution. GETTING TIRED OP THEM.-A movement is on foot in Canada to secure the passage of an act of Parliament by which fugitive slaves may be sent back to the Uriited States. They are not considered very desirable subjects of Queen Victoria, and it is therefore proposed to make "black republicans" of them by shipping them back td the States. The " North Star, so long the beacon light of liberty to poor Sambo, begins to blink balefully at him, warning him baek to the "sunny South."— Exchange. If black republicanism (says the Pennsyl vanian) succeeds' in its designs of disunion and turning myriads of negroes loose upon the border States, particularly Pennsylvania, there will be no Comparison between the evils already inflicted upon Canada and our own horrible condition. It may be well for Ver mont and Masaschusetts, where negroes are rardly seen, and for the fanatics of • those northern regions that - will not be immediately affected by the result, to preach abolition doc trines, but it is impossible that our own people can be so.blind to their. 'own interests as to court such a fate. The devouring locusts of Egypt would he ablessing compared with an army, of suddenly liberated negroes turned loose upon us. One Bedford street is enough, for Philadelphia.- By abolition our whole city would be converted into negro quarters ; whole acres of ground .would be ; too small. to contain jails and alms-houses large enough to hold the, criminals and paupers among them ; • the la boring whitemen would be reduced to a mere song; and the twenties of labiir world be bldcked rip by,negrees, and the suhstunee of the whole cOuntrbe deioured by ttlem.
