IBTE TROCBI.E AT MOBll.K.—J Vnrthrr Purlb•
u/urs. —We have already given some partial
lars of tbe excitement at Mobile, growing out
of the discovery that Messrs. Strickland &
Upson, booksellers there, had been circulating,
incendiary documents. A letter from that
city to the New York Herald, dated the 16th
instr., says :
" A son of Dr. Woodcock called tit the store
of William S trick laud and Ldwi* Upson—firm
of Strickland A- Co.—on Wednesday, and af
ter considerable searching found tjie " Life and
\\ ritings of Frederick Douglass/' for which
Mr. Upson charged the exorbitant price of
$2 50, which Mr. Woodcock promptly paid.
A Committee of Vigilance, consisting of twen
ty live of our leading men, soon met at the
Battle House, sent for Messrs. Strickland and
Upson, and after giving them a fair hearing,
required them to give honds in the sum of
$5,000 each for their appearance before the
committee the next fifty, for further examina
tion. Meantime an examination of their stock
and account books proved the statements of
Strickland and Upson to have been utterly false.
Instead of these two or three copies having
accidentally got in their store with a lot of
! second-hand books, as stated by them, their
! press letter book contained an order, in Mr.
Strickland's handwriting, for fifty copies of
1 --aid work. On Thursday the accusal appear
| ed before the committee, and were ordered to |
I ''settle up" and leave town within five davs, i
I after which time the committee would not be :
| answerable for their lives. The penalty of the
I law here, in such case provided, is " death, or
| not less than ten years' imprisonment in the j
I penitentiary."
Thursday night a party started for the resi
dence of Mr. Strickland, armed and equipped
for a " tightrope performance but bv the
prompt interposition of the more moderate por
tion of the Vigilance men the " performance
was postponed." Mr. Ursrtn'lias not bccn scen
since Thursday. Mr. Strickland was in his
store yesterday, and passed through our streets
unmolested. Though the proofs of nis guilt
were nut then knuwig two of his friends, meet
ing him, acco-ted Him in tins wise : Strick
land, if I believed .what is reported of you to
be true, I would hang yon as high sis Human.'
" Yes," said the other, "if half of it was true,
I would help to lynch you on the spot." Sen
timents like these are in every mouth, and great
dissatisfaction is felt among many at the leni
ent course of their committee. Strickland has
not been seen in the city to day, and it has !
been ascertained that he left town in a sail
boat yesterday evening, soon after the warn- i
iug he received from his friends. It is suppos
ed ho has gone North by the underground
route.
TIIK ST.VTK TUJKKT.—The October election
comes on apace. Tiie result of that election
will have a vast influence upon the result of
the election in November. The State Ticket
which the opponents of the administration
have placed in the field, is a good one in every
respect. We arc personally acquainted ffith
two of the gentlemen, and know them to be
every way fitted to occupy the posts for which
tficy are candidates, and of the other one we
have most reliable information that he is equal
ly worthy. T.icy are all men "of high moral
character, and are the devoted friends of Free
dom. Their election by a handsome majority,
will carry such dismay into the Bin lianier camp
that they will uut be able to stain! up under it
at the November election. There should there
fore, all effort bo made to organize Thoroughly,
tioa. It has been the ea^ .dec
candidates on our State ticket frequently tell
behind the county ticket, from a luck of inter
est in the subject. At this election it is of vast
mpnrtanee that every vote should be rallied
for the State ticket, for the eyes of the whole
country are upon Pennsylvania. It is admitted
<m all hands to lie the battle-ground of the
Union. Its vote will decide tin: contest. As
Pennsylvania goes, so goes the 1 niou. It we
elect our State Tick-1 by a handsome majority,
one universal shout of joy will go up from the
friends of Freedom, and the influence w ill be
such, that Freedom and Fremont will sweep
everv Free State in November, not even except
ing California, 'lake care, then, ol tne State
Ticket. - -
If any of our readers wish to know our opin
! ion with regard to the probabilities of success
in October, wo have no objection to state it.
At tlii- present writing, our candid opinion is,
I that we -hall elect the Union State ticket in
October by a very respectable majority. We
j do not see" anything now to prevent this result,
I and we believe we shall have the pleasure of
recording a glorious victory for Freedom in the
Old Keystone State in October. — I'lt'sburg

TIIK A -SAI I.TS ON .IACKSON. —The venomous |
i assaults upon the fair fame of JACKSON, by the •
Buchanan men, continue unabated. Thus, the j
Louisville ('"iifief, a leading Buchanan piint i
in Kentucky, says :
j "A pi iralr letter written by Jackson in 154.
just before his death, mr/i n/if vilifying Bnclian- |
j an, charging him with cowardice awl falsehood ,
is shamelessly dragged forth to degrade Bu- j
i cliamiii. The infamy of the affair rests upon \
I fiids.,ll for writing liis letter, and next upon
i those w ho have brought it to light for political
effect now for the first time. They who "heap
opprohinm mountain high upon the giau' ot
Jackson " are thev who have dishonored Inni
i and degraded themselves by publishing the uu
! fortnuate priaitr- letter of I he. insanely viiiflicitivc
; „1,l 1,/ ran', who in this very letter, proved that
to the last, no touch of justjee or inagnaniiuity
towards an opponent or rival ever cntciod lus
1 l,rea-t and that his only use for friends was to
made tools of them. If Buchanan had m l**.,
instead of faithfully giving truthful testimony,
as he did, corroborated Jackson's charges
agaihst Clay, Jackson never would have writ
ten his infamous serrct letters of 1K4. . <
lieliex-e that history convicts Jackson of sland
ering Clav, and then convicts hiniot slandering
Biiclianuu because hn would not perjure him
self by supporting the slander against ('lav.
Has the old hero no friends left among his
nianv adherents of former days? If lie has,
it is meet that they should know of this de-
U rutiueU effort to blast his reputation by shift
ing upon hiui the imfamy fairly earned by Bu
. i chauau. .
;! a letter from Fayette county, Pcnusyl
.vania, says that that county, which has lierc
, i tofore given bOO Democratic majority wu this
. year o for Fremont by a majority ot
i One borough alone will give a majority ot 400.
; After a thorough canvass, only seven leba fie
I Buchanan men can be luund in the town.
The* Shower of Lies.
Henry Ward Beechcr says in the last Indc
l ndent, very truly and eloquently :
" Tli's campaign is to be one of eminent and
a'.ol nding falseho. d. It will rain and hail lies.
They will come like gnats and locusts, like
frogs and murrain. Let no man be alarmed.
Col. Fremont from th's time till November
will walk in a storm of fire and brimstone, and
nothing will prevent his being consumed but
that which preserved Shadraeh, Meshaeh and
Abodnego. God will preserve him.
" It is a matt r of iratulatiou that we have
at length a man presented for the Presidency,
of scrupulous honor, of manly bearing, of in
corrupt morals, of a heroic spirit, yonng, en
terprising, proved in danger, of an excellent
judgment, of great sagacity in practical affairs,
remarkable for capacity to command, and for
habits of self-command, and above all, an un
worn, unhacked politician. lie is an honest
man, and he is not a supple politician.
" Against such an one there can be brought
no political charges, no broken promises, no
tergiversations, no .conduct supple, evasive, un
manly, dishonest, lie has no feuds, no party
commitments, no political enmities, lie is a
clear, fresh, able, honest, heroic man. Let us
try how it will seem again to see such a man
President of these United States.
" Therefore, let Christians prav for him ; let
all men work ; let lies breed and swarm and
buzz, and die like mosquitoes in a morass ; hut
let ev<ry true man go right straight forward,
talking, spreading pap-re, reasoning and per
suading, and then let November be the judg
ment-day of a faithless, treaty-breaking, slave
spreading party."
A True Record.
The following pungent article from the A
bany Evening journal places the political iic*-
of MIIAAKO EJIXKOKK so well before the public
eye that we give it a place. Few F.ilmnre
men, we opine, will have the hardihood to
(|iiostion this statement of facts which cut up
liy the roots all pretensions of Mr. Fillmore's
being opposed to Slavery extension :
" While V ice President lie entered into a
secret bargain with Foote and other Pro-Sla
very Senators, to defeat in the Senate such of
(Jen. Taylor's appointments as were distasteful
to the Slaveholding interest.
When he became President he rekindled the
Disunion panic, which the judicious policy of
fieri. Taylor had suppressed.
P>v industriously fanning and stimulating
this panic, he defeated the unconditional ad
mission of Califor.iiH, which otherwise would
have taken place within two weeks after fieri,
eral Taylor's death.
He forced the Fugitive Slave Bill through
Congress as a condition of the admission of
California, employing for that purpose bribes
in the shape oi offices and patronage conferred
upon pliant Members themselves, or upon their
relatives and friends.
It was during his administration that, for the
tirst time in our national history men and wo
men were hunted through Northern streets like
beasts, and Northern citizens, ordered, under
penalty of the prison, to join in the hunt like
hounds. It has been only during and since his
administration, that such scenes have occurred
under color of " the law," as shooting at
\\ ilkesbarre, the chase and riot n't Christiana,
the chaining of Boston Court House, the mur
der of a child by its mother to - ive it from
Slavery, a u'-iaiiati, the ehai ring of ves
s els and ' ' lent of Troi; ". Nt the cost
of tl:> • us of thoirsa is of dollars,
po.cti . v negroes, and enhance the
tional experience from the davs oi \v asi
to those of Taylor, 110 such event had occurred
in any Northern State before. The honor of
originating this phase of American life and
manners rests exclusively and indisputably with
Millard Fillmore.
He made ofliee under him the reward of
truckling to Slavery, and removal the penalty
of sympathy with Free Soil. lie rejected
General Taylor's Cabinet because they were
not subservient enough to the slaveholding in
terest. He turned out Post Masters, Cirstorn-
Ilouse Officers and Department Clerks, by the
dozen, for the meresexpression of opinions ad
verse to the extension of Slavery, lie gave
the control of the Army, the Navy, and the
Inferior, all to Slaveholders.
lie withdrew the nomination of Edward A.
Bradford to the Bench of the Supreme Court,
because lie held (the view taken by "Chief Jus
tice Story) that Congress had a right to pro
hibit Slavery in the Territories, and went a
thousand miles out of the Circuit to get a can
didate (Geo. A. liadger) holding the opposite
view. I
Having aided by public approval, and pri
vate connivance, the rigorous tyranny of the j
act. respecting fugitives to an extent nut eon
' teinplated even by l'ts author, he boa-ted of
1 having done so in both' Ins official Messages, j
| and urged that it be made a " finality " to all
I eternity !
He made the ton of tlie Southern States,
declaring that he had abaiidaiied liis "early
prejudices against Slav - rv,' recanting his form- j
er speeches against it, and professing devotion
! to its interests, under the hypocritical plea of
i "saving the Union " thereby. .
He has uttered no word of remonstrance,
against the breach of faith involved in the re
peal of the Missouri Compromise, or the atroc
! ties committed in Knnsnjr; while on H> > eon
I Lrarv, his Southern supporters procla.ui his up
proval of them both, and urge his elect on a
the sure way to save Kansas for Slavery.
And finally, after abandoning Ida own party
because it had become " tainted with Free
Soii," and being himself abandoned by more
than half of the new one lie had joined ; lie
travels up and down proclaiming that the
South will make a treasonable attempt to dis
solve the Union, and nvght to make it, if he is
\ defeated and his opponent elected.
F.u.i, OK A BRIDGE WITH TWO LOCOMOTIVES.
j— Easton, /'„ August 27. —A span of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge across the Del
' aware river, on the Jersey side, gave way last
! evening, whilst two engines were passing o\n.
| George Howe, a fin a an, was killed, and John
' Geary, engineer, was fatally wounded.
As serious as the accident is, in the destruc
tion of property, it is a most providential cir
cumstance that' it occurred when it did, a--a
few minutes- later an awful destruction of life
would have been occasioned, as the Philadel
phia train was due at tlie point by the time
tabic at the precise moment of the accident,
fifteen minutes before 7 o'clock. It was for
tunately behind time five minutes, otherwise
the train would have stopped directly under
the span that gave way. The New York train
was also nearly due, and would have passed
• over the span." A boat was passing down the
, canal and barely escaped.
