ARKANSAS. —The returns of the recent elec tion in Arkansas are all in except from the county of Mississippi. The whole vote east was 4:>,148, and the majority of Conway, I)em., for Governor, was 12,694. This is the state which was reported to have gone fortiic Ame rican ti.-kei, ami wlucb is otili claimed for Fill more. THE STATE TICKET. Tl e near approach of the October election, should impress upon every Freeman the im mense importance of electing the Union State Ticket. We consider that the success of that i ticket in October seals the fate of BCCHANAN in November, and from every indication we confidently expect its triumph. Its success now, is worth all the efforts that could be made between October and November elec tions. It. will demonstrate to a certainty that Mr. HI.THA NAN cannot carry his own state, and will strike dismay in the ranks of the Bu chaniers at the North. We trust our friends in the several townships of this County will see I that the State Ticket receives every vote to i which it is entitled. This done, and the bat tle is already fought and won. RENOMINATION OF MR. GROW. The re-nomination of Hon. GALFSHA A. GROW by the freemen of this Congressional district, is a deserved tribute to the ability and faithfulness with which he has represented the wishes and feelings of his constituents. Placed at the commencement of the present Congress, at the head of the Committee of Territories, he has discharged the arduous and responsible duties of that elevated position with great credit to himself. Mr. GROW is now qualified by experience in Congress, added toJiis high ' abilities, to be a useful member. Conversant with the rules of the House, he occupies a po sition which can only be attained by long and severe training in the Halls of Congress. His re-nomination has been the spontaneous expression of the public voice. It is the uni versal recognition of the fact, that he is now able to represent this district with more use fulness and ability than any other man in it. The times demand that the North should not dispense with the services of her tried and true men. We need in the Congress of the nation such men as GALFSHA A. GROW. The popular appreciation of this truth will be uttered at the ; ballot-box in October. ! SENATOR. The Senatorial Conference which met at Lacevville, on the sth inst., placed in nomina tion, as the candidate for State Senator, E. REED MYRR, of this county. The nominee is well known to the citizens of this county, and needs no commendation at our hands. We can assure the freemen of Susquehanna and Wyoming that he is in every respect worthy of their confidence and support, To abilities that qualify him to discharge the duties of the office with credit, Mr. MYF.R onites a high ap preciation of correct principles. He has ever been the true and steadfast friend of Freedom, and in the Seuatc will be fonnd sustaining those principles of Liberty and Justice so dear to the people of this District. His majority in Bradford, will be a testimony of the favor with which he is regarded at home, and his election is certain by a majority of thousands. NEWS FROM KANSAS. The information which we this week publish from Kansas, will stir the blood of every right thinking Northern freeman. A horde of sav ages from border Missouri, have been for some time gathering upon the border of Kansas, and have finally fell upon Ossawattamic, a south eastern town, with a large force, murdered some of the free settlers there, and burned the place. At Leavenworth the murderous work had also been commenced, and every person driven from the [dace who wonld not bear arms for the pro-slavery side. But by far the most alarming and horrible news we have, comes from an official source at Washington, being no less tli an that the Presi dent and the Secretary of War had ordered Gen. SMITH and Gov. Geary to take such mea sures as will drive from the Territory, every Northern setter, while not a mention is made of Missouri invasion. The news we have by telegraph may be some what magnified to meet the purposes of the border-ruffians. One thing seems certain that a large force has been mustered in Missouri and inarched into Kansas ; to co-operate with the Territorial authorities, the object of which is to plunder, murder and drive from the territo ry every free settler. Wc arc in dailv fear of leceiving the intelligence that the Free-State men have been overpowered, and killed by hun dreds. PORTER'S Sr-furr OR THE TIMES. —The cele brated editor of the widely known " Spirit,'' has commented the publication of a new jour nal, with the above title, as a chronicle of the turf, field sports, literature and the stage.— From the ability of PORTER in this line, we have no doubt that the new " Spirit" will ex hibit the same elevated and genial tone that for many years caused the old " Spirit" to be the favorite periodical of the sporting world, and the rude me mm. of those addicted to the " fur, tin and feather." Wag* The truth in relation to the Kansas fight is now beginning to come. It turns out as we said, that there were very few men in Ossawatomie when the place was attacked The attacking force consisted of twelve hun dred men, though but four hundred were used, and the Free Soilers numbered but thirty. Yet the Border Ruffians had live men woun ded. &'T~ A fire at Taunton, Mass., on Saturday night, destroyed Tenniston's Enamelling Works, including a large amount of stock on band Loss, $17,000. Insurance, $12,000. feir President Pierce has gone to speud a , short time at the Warrington Springs. SOUTHERN DOCTRINES. We extract below two articles from the Rich maid Enquirer of the 2Stli ult. Comment is unnecessary. The first shows the treasonable anil disunion purposes of the South, and the latter, the end toward which we nre tending. Both taken together illustrate the intention of the South to make Slavery a National institu tion, claiming for it superiority as a form of so ciety over freedom. This doctrine once acquis ced in by the North, and we shall next be re quired to acknowledge that slavery is equally the " natural and rightful " state of society in Pennsylvania. It is to eary out the ahomnai ble doctrines we quote below that the Enquirer labours so zealously to advance the election of Mr Been AN A. v. We commend the articles to the attention of the freemen of this county:— FREMONT AND DISCS-ION In voting for Fremont, a portion of the North Lomlcrs to the South the ifcuie of this I'iiiou or unconditional submisMion. If Fremont iM-lee ted, he funics in as the profesnsl enemy of the South.— No Southerner, without treachery to hi* section of the Fnioii, can lieeome a tneuiber of his cabinet. llis admin istration, if it keep the promises of the eanvnss. tpust de prive the South of all interest in tiie territories, and Intr [ ass and injure slavery in the States. We do not lielieve that any portion of the South will submit to his adminis tration. We are sure that huye portions will not. Dis union then, in event of his election, is inevitable. Such an event is a very remote contingency. but let the North and South prepare to meet it. I.et us", if possibh . part peaeefully. I.et the North determine whether it will have several confederacies or one. I.et Pennsylvania, New Jersev, Indiana and Illinois, see whether their in terests w ill not be liest promoted by uniting with the Southern confederacy. l.et California.too, study well the question, whether she will havca Pacific Republic,lieeome tributary to New England, or unite with the South. Let us all look these contingencies fully in the face. It is not too late for treason and Fremont to retreat, nor for the friends of I'nion to lash tlicm from the field, if we will but combine. Rut let no one indulge the fatal delusion that Fremont may Is- elected and yet the I'nion preserved. There is not one single possibility of such result. It is hard to keep it together even now. Then, it would fall to pieces without even a struggle to preserve it. AT OI B SCHOOLS SIIOCLD TKACH AS TO Sl.vvrnv Every school anil college in ,the South should teach tliat Mnve society is the common, natural, rightful and normal state of society. Any doctrine short of this contains ab olition in the gcrin: for, if it Is- not the rightful and nat ural form of society, it cannot last, and we should prepare for its gradual but ultimate altolition. They .-Inlaid also teach that no other form of society is, iu the general, right or expedient. There are exceptional cases, such as desert or mountainous countries, where the small patches offer tile laud are adequate to support a larger'familv than hus band, wife and children--such as Lapland, Sweden, Nor way. Switzerland, and parts of Arabia such alo as New England, and Eastern New Vork and Eastern Pennsylva nia, which, though admirably adapted for commerce, "man ufactures and fishing, are little fitted for farming or graz ing. Freemen are required in the former pursuits—-laves ; in the latter. Hence, negro slavery is found to be the best | form of slavery. | But our schools should also teach that the slaves should lie of a different race or nation from the masters; and the wider the distinction the better, as in such case the slave is less apt to feel degraded, or wish to assert his freedom and equality. To teach such doctrine- we must have Southern tcacliers and Southern school books. It is from the school that public opinion proceeds, and the schools should be set right. No teacher should be employed in a private family or public school at the South, who is not ready to teach these doctrines. Parents, trustees and visitors should look to this thing. \f teg"- 111 several parts of the County an nrmy of caterpillars is stripping the oak trees of their leaves, leaving not a vestige of foliage in their devastating mcarh. We do uot know what effect they may have UJHJII the existence of the tree, but they certainly present a sorry specta cle, stripped as bare, as if they had passed throngh the season of the " sere and yellow loaf," VERMONT ELECTION,— The election in Ver mont resulted in a clean sweep for the Reptili lieans.
