We observe that Air. BERLIN-GAVE has left
New-York for the East, pretty thoroughly used
up by his arduous labors, announcing that he
should take a few days leisure for recruiting,
and then re-commence in localities where lie
could* be useful. Unless some unforseeu con
tingency should arise, wc shall unquestionably
have him in this County as agreed upon.
The River below the dam is in fine condition
for fording, and arrangements will be made to
render it easy and safe crossing by repairing
the roads and fixing guides.
Alee tings will be held in the afternoon and
evening, and preparations are making for a
grand torch-light procession.
Alaj. J. CL LP will act as Marshal of the
day, with a number of assistants.
A large gathering of our friends is confi
dently anticipated, and the latch-string will be
out to all such as will partake of the hospitali
ty of our citizens.
frit" Eld. XV. II. 11. DWYRF. will address the
A oung Mens' Fremont and Dayton Club of
this borough, at the Club Hall, Friday even

ASSOCIATE JUDGES.
The Republican candidates for Associate
Judges, AARON CIIUBBUCK of Orwell,
and JOHN F. LONG of Burlington boro' are
well known to the people of this County.—
Two men of better character could not have
been selected. They combine all the necessa
ry qualifications for the post for which they
have been selected—clear, legal minds, sound
judgment, and inflexible integrity. The par
ty may well be proud of such candidates.
REPRESENTATIVES.
'flic selection of Representatives to the State
Legislature is of unusual importance this fall.
In all probability we shall have a majority of
friends of Freedom in both branches of the
Legislature, upon whom will devolve the elec
tion of L T . S. Senator in place of Hon. R
BRODHEAD, The Republican candidates are
J. B. (1. BABCOCK, of Windham, and CUL
LEN F. NICHOLS, of Burlington. The for
mer is a gentleman of good judgment, of trust
worthy reputation and and an undeviating
friend of true principles. With Air. NICHOLS
we have the pleasure of an intimate personal
acquaintance. A young man, ho possesses
abilities which will secure him a high standing
with his fellow members, while his personal
and political reputation are above the suspicion
of influence from improper or mercenary mo
tives. These gentlemen will represent our
County with credit to themselves and with
satisfaction to their constituents.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
PAUL I). MORROW, of this borough,
nominated for the office of District Attorney,
is confessedly well qualified for the legal duties
which devolve upon that officer. The office,
politically, though of no importance, publicly
is of considerable consequence. Air. AIORROW
wc believe will discharge its duties in such a
manner as carefully to guard the public in
terests.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.!
The office of County Commissioner is the
most important to the tax-payers of the Coun
ty, of any which they are called upon to fill.
The entire control of the County disbursements
is regulated by the Commissioners, and a ri
gid and searching administration of the duties
of the office will prevent many abuses. By
nominating DUMAIER LILLEY, of Colum
bia, the Republican party have secured a can- j
didatc who combines in an eminent degree, the
qualifications of sound judgment, incorruptible
honesty, and the firmness to reject all loose and
doubtful measures. His election will be a for
tuuate event for the County.
COUNTY AUDITOR.
In its emoluments and honors the office of
County Auditor is of trifling importance. But
to the tax-payers of the County it is of conse
quence. The accounts of the public officers
are all examined by the Auditor who also
scrutinize the County disbursements. They
are the only check upon profligacy and extrav
agance. 11 is necessary that the person select
ed as Auditor, should be a good business man,
well informed about County matters, and will
ing to undergo the labor necessary to make
such a dry and tedious investigation. FRAN
CIS IIOAIKT of Wyalusing, has been nomi
nated by the Republican party. A better
choice could not have been mad(. It gives us
great pleasure to bear the testimony of a per
sonal knowledge of his high capacities to fill
with great credit ant. office within the gift of
the people of this County.
COUNTY SURVEYOR.
JOSEPH E. SPALDING, of Franklin,
has been nominated for County Surveyor. lie
is a practical surveyor, well qualified to per
form all the requirements of the office, and a
young man of excellent personal charcatcr.
fls®°" It has long been the fashion to call this
Congressional district the "benighteddistrict,"
the " infected district," the " fanatical district."
Our neighbors in the lower part of the State
seeing the consistency with which the voters of
this district have uniformly maintained and de
clared their principles, have entertained and
expressed a belief that it was owing to the
state of utter and deplorable ignorance which
prevails in this sequestered regiou. Consequent
ly, in the desperation of the BUCHANAN leaders
they have turned their attention to the enlight
ment of the profound ignorance of this part of
the Commonwealth. We should conclude that
they only deem it necessary to scud some of
their fancy orators into this district, to break
the cloud of ignorance which has settled upon
us, and let in the light of pure unadulterated
pro-slavery democracy upon our sturdy farmers.
They act and talk as if the people here, had
never read or heard but one side of the ques
tion now agitating the country—that it was
only necessary to make a few speeches to bring
them into the support of BUCHANAN and the
Cincinnati platform.
We have at present within the borders of
this County, Messrs. BUCKAI.EW, N. B. BROWN,
and Hon. JOHN DAVIS. \\ e believe they arc
all courteous and honorable gentlemen, and as
j able as any to present in fair shape the bad
j cause they represent. We bid them a cordial
welcome to our County, and bespeak for them
a fair hearing at the hands of our voters. They
will find our people anxious for information up
| on the great question now agitating both north
and south—literally seeking atter truth—and
an amount of intelligence and ability amongst
the masses, such as tlicy are unaccustomed to
at home.
Maine has elected a united Republican
. delegation to the next Congress.
THE VICTORY IN MAINE!
The overwhelming tide of popular opinion
which is now sweeping the North, overturning
the feeble barriers raised by the politicians to
prevent the expression of free principles, com
mencing with lowa, has gathered redoubled
force in Vermont, and swept with irrcsistable
force through Maine. The latter has always
been regarded as a doubtful state. In the
great contest of 1840, it gave but a small ma
jority for Gen HARRISON. In 1552 the majo
rity for Gen. PIKRCE was decided. In 1854
the anti Nebraska majority was large ; but
the next year the coalition carried the State
by majorities in every Congressional District.
This year the union of the pro-slavery elements
was complete. The Administration looked
with entire confidence to the defeat of II AMI.IV,
to the election of a Senate and House, oppos
ed to him, and to a gain of two or three mem
bers of Congress, while our friends though san
guine of IIAMUN'S success, were in great doubt
as to the other results.
The overthrow has been one of the most
decided and remarkable ever known in the po
litical history of the country. HAWUN will
have a majority over all his competitors of at
least 20,000 —the Congressional delegation is
entirely Republican—the Senate nearly or
epiite unanimous, and the House four-fifths Re
publican. Taken as an indication of public
feeling this election is of immense importance.
It foreshadows the result in every Northern
State. The supporters of Mr. BUCHANAN, in
quire with alarm and astonishment, what hope
they have of success in any free state, if lowa
and Maine declare so emphatically against them.
It has carried dismay into the pro-slavery camp.
It should inspire the friends of Freedom to re
newed exertions. The Slavery propagandists
in their desperation will make a terrible effort
to avert the coming doom. Pennsylvania has
now become more certainly than ever, the bat
tle-ground. They have no hope of carrying
another Free State. Let the friends of Free
dom arouse, and work with unceasing diligence.
The victory is within our reach, if we but put
forth the proper exertions. Success brings peace
and quiet to the country, and settles the ques
tion in favor of Freedom. Defeat hut pro
longs and renders more arduous the struggle.
ffiap The Buchaniers say now, " they never
claimed Maine (!) After election, they will
declare they never claimed Pennsylvania.
They say Maine was a Whig State, (which
is not true,) and they expected it would go Re
publican. If that is any criteriou, why, friend
Buchaniers, did not Kentucky and North Caro
lina go Republican ? They were always whig
states. Now, they are with the mis-called
Democracy. What docs it prove ? Simply
this, (Mr. BCCKALEW'S word to the contrary
notwithstanding) that there is only one practi
cal, important question in issue—viz : the ex
tension or non-extension of slavery into free
territories. The North is opposed to, and the
South is in favor of, the extension, and vote
accordingly. The entire South will cast its
electoral vote for BUCHANAN, because he is in
their interest and confidence. It shows indu
bitably that the South knows there is a ques
tion to he determined, directly affecting their
interests, or else why this unanimity on their
part ? Jt is all moonshine for Mr. BUCKAI.EW
to stand up as lie did in the Court House, on
Tuesday evening lust, before an enlightened
audience, and say that the slavery question was
not of any practical importance in the coining
election. If he were to say so in Virginia, or
in any Southern State, lie would be called a
Black Republican, and not worthy of southern
confidence. They say it is the question, and
the only question to be determined in the com
ing presidential contest—and they say further,
that the BUCHANAN man who will argue by the
hour that that is not the question, is misrepre
senting the issue, and not entitled to confidence
or belief. No ! Mr. BCCKALEW, out of the
mouth of the majority of your party shall you
be judged. That majority belongs in the
South, and is in favor of the extension of sla
very, and you and other Northern Democrats,
in your active co-operation with that majority,
aid directly, by your votes, to extend that in
stitution. The majority of the BUCHANAN men
in the nation is in favor of making Kansas a
slave State ; and the minority, which is in the
North, by voting for Buchanan, vote directly
to accomplish that object ; and this fact, as
well as the issues before the country, are not
to be changed, dodged, misrepresented, or de
nied successfully, when all history demonstrate
their truthfulness, and especially when the pub
lic is well read in that history, and thoroughly
acquainted with the current events of the day.
Mr. BICKALKW'S naked assertion shall not
change the record. The issue is fairly made
up. Mr. BUCHANAN must be tried upon that
issue by the country. The verdict will be ren
dered next November. See to it, fellow-citi
zens, that truth and justice prevail.
ft®" We are authorized to state that there
arc several young ladies and gentlemen now
attending the Normal department of the Sus
qachnnna Collegiate Institute, who would like
to procure schools to teach during the coining
winter. The principal of that department, C.
It. COBVRN, would take pleasure in answering
any questions by letter or otherwise, relative
to the qualifications, age, and experience of
the members of the teachers' class, if applied
to by directors, or others desirous of employ
ing teachers for the winter schools.
SPEAKER BANKS —On the return last week
ot Mr. Hanks Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, his constituents at Worcester, Waltham anil other
places, gave him public receptions. All the gatherings
were cordial and enthusiastic, and everybody seemed de
lighted to welcome one who served the people with such
tiddily and ability.
ANOTHER HOWE FROM GOVERNOR WISE
Gov. WISE is the gentleman whose success
in Virginia was thought worthy of a congratu
latory resolution in the Democratic State Con
vention of Pennsylvania. He is a fair sample
of the nigger-driving democracy, and is just
now engaged in laboring to raise the price of
niggers to five thousand dollars. He sees the
manifest destiny of the slavery-propagandist
cause and candidates, lie sees the certain de
feat of the scheme to treble the price of their
peculiar property. He becomes exceedingly
irate aud ready to joiu PRESTON BROOKS in the
march to Washington to seize upon the public
archives and the treasury of the nation. The
subjoined letter which we copy from the Prnn
sijlcanutn, is extremely characteristic. The
election of FREMONT, lie says, would bring
about the dissolution of the Union inevitably.
How, he don't say. The reason why, will
hardly satisfy any man. If the election of
FREMONT keeps the price of niggers at the pre
sent rates, the Governor cau tax the oyster
beds to make up the loss Virginia will sustain
by not electing BUCHANAN. This blood and
thunder demonstration will answer until the
election, when such southern Bobadils as Gov.
WISE and PIIKSTOX BROOKS and the grannies
of the North, will quietly settle down, and
conclude to postpone the dissolution of the
Union until the next Presidential election. All
this " sound and fury signifying nothing" will
not scare the North from its settled purpose to
make Kansas a free State, and to preserve the
free Territories for the white laborers of the
Union.
This rant is the last card of a desperate and
doomed party. Alarmed at the overthrow
which threatens them, the Buchaniers are re
sorting to every extreme to avert defeat. It
is of no avail. Gov. WISE may bluster and
threaten ; Northern dough-faces may chime in
the chorus, and set up their loudest wails for
the Union, but the Mntcrrilicd yeomanry of the
country will not be deterred from rebuking the
faithlessness of the Democratic party, and pre
venting the extension of slavery.
LKTTKR CKOM GOV WISH We are permitted >y the
gentleman to whom the following letter wasaddrcsscd.to
publi.sli it in our column*. We ask for it an attentive pe
rusal :
UiciiMOVit, VA., Sept. 6, Isofi.
PEAK Sin :—On my return from a short alisenee I found
yours of th 'illth ult., asking my opinion on the questions:
'• Would the election of Fremont to the Presidency bring
about a dissolution of the Union ?" My answer is, that
the very spirit of sectionalism which runs such a mere
adventurer as he is, in every sense, has engendered so
much envy, hatred and malice between various sections
and factions of our people, as to create a wish in the minds
of many so strong for a dissolution of our blessed Union,
that to tell them his election would bring that lamentable
event about, would make some of his bitterest opponents
vote for his election for the very purpose of effecting that
execrable end. This, above everything else, shows the
wrong and mischief of nominating such a man by such a
party as that i-alled Itla'-k Republican. His election would
bring aliout the dissolution of the American Confederacy
ol States inevitable. Why '! For tiie reason that if Xew
York. Pennsylvania and Ohio were slavelmlding States,
and Canada were to assail them with half the violence
and '• all uncharitableness*' which Mark Republicanism
is assailing us with, there would lie public war in AO days
by every patriot's time-piece. Whether the present state
of peaceful revolution, of warlike brotherhood, of confed
erated antagonisms, of shake-hand enmity, of sectional
union, of united enemies- -shall unnaturally continue, de
pends precisely upon the issue whether Mark Republican
ism is strong enough to elect John C. Fremont, with all
the demon-isms at his heels ! You may do what you please
with this letter. Yours, respectfully,
HENRY A. WISE.
tcrff* Tlic simon-pure nigger-driving Bucha
niers of this vicinity, profess a holy horror of
anything like " fu.titm." The only argument
they are able to bring against the Republican
party is, that it is a " fusion party." Now, in
Lancaster county, right under Mr. BUCHANAN'S
nose, there does not seem to be so much aver
sion to fusion. Lancaster contains a few hun
dred old line or pro-slavery whigs, whose votes
the Bnchaniers are anxious to secure. To ef
fect this the late Buchanan Convention in that
County nominated six out of the fifteen on the
County ticket from the old line whigs, and al
so for Congressman, I. E. IIKISTEII, known as
a pro-slavery old line whig. There is no pre
tence that these old line whigs have joined the
Democratic party any further than they arc
expected to support Mr. BUCHANAN. The
fnovement shows how desperate Mr. BUCHAN
AN'S cause is in Lancaster, and how ready his
adherents are to fuse when the cause of slave
ry-extension can be strengthened.
The renusyfeani/tn, instead of reprobating
this fusion, exults over it in the following edi
torial, which we extract from its issue of the
11th inst:—
THE OLD LINE WIIIOK AND THE DKMOCR \CY UNI
TING HAND IN HAND AT THE HOME OF JAMES
BURHANAN.
I-ast evening we learned the highly gratifying intelli
gei re, that at the County Convention of the friends of
the Union and the Constitution, held in Lancaster yester
day, a most excellent County Tieket was formed. For
Congress, that talented and distinguished Old Line Whig,
lion. ISAAC K. HKI.-TKK. who formerly represented the
Whigs of that County in the House of Representatives,
but who was stricken down two years ago by the maehi
.nations ul RIIAOHKCS STLVKNS, because of the nationality
of his sentiments, and l>eeause. like Urn s CIIOATE, he
would march under no flag, and follow no party that did
not keep step to the music of t e Union. And of the lif
tcen names upon the ticket, six are Old Line Whigs, but
all. of course, warm friends of JAMKS BCCUANAN*. Were
joiee most heartily over this union of the friends of the
Union, and trust that on the second Tuesday of October,
we shall have the proud satisfaction of seeing Lancaster
County occupying the political position which the true
interests of her citizens imperatively urge them to assume.

delphia publisher, has now in press, and will
be ready for sale on the 27th inst., " The Ban

ft®* Wc had the pleasure of attending a
Republican meeting at Monroeton, on Satur

NEW 3 ITEMS.
—About two o'clock oil Saturday morning
last, the citizens of Montrose were aroused by an alarm
of lire, and it was found that the south wing of Sayre's
Foundry, containing the moulding room, Ac., was in
flames. The Fire Companies and citizens generally were
quickly on the ground, and, although that part of the
building in which the lire originated was too far gone to
lie saved and was burned to the ground, the rest of the
building was saved without great injury. The ladies were
very active and many of tlieni worked for hours, filling
and carrying pails of water, while some mm stood looking
idly on. The insurance was $2500, and the loss is esti
mated at considerably more than that. The origin of the
tire is unknown, hut there are reasons to believe that it
was caused by incendiaries.
—The Klmira Advertiser, Sept. 4, says :
" that the Mail train going West, on the New York and
Erie 1 tail road, which left Almond (Allegheny county)
yesterday at noon, soon after leaving that place met and
run into a train of ears which were coming down the
grade without any engine. Several persons on the Mail
train were slightly injured, but none were killed. Col.
E. C. Frost, of Catharine, (who was on the mail ear) had
one of his knees and neck bruised, hut not seriausly.
—The Notional Era states that Parker
Pillsbury and Wendell Philips, Abolitionists of tlie Har
rison school, have declared their {(reference for James Bu
clianan, alleging that tliey still have hopes of disunion,
and the election of Buchanan may effect that object. The
Anti-Slavery Bugle, of Ohio, an Abolition paper, is also
urging the claims of Buchanan.
—The Richmond Enquirer, in its leader of
the 2utli inst., says :—" If Fremont he elected there is
not the slightest hope that the Union will last an hour
after Mr. Pierre's term expires."
Couldn't you say an hour and a quarter.
—lion. Tom Corwin, the Ohio wagon boy,
says he has great personal regard and respect for Mr.
Fillmore, hut h<* cannot resist the conviction that the
practical issue of this election lies between the supporters
of Mr. Buchanan and the supporters of Mr. Fremont.
—The brothers Washburne, who figure on
the Republican side of the present Congress, havy all licen
renominated by their constituents In Maine, Wisconsin,
and Illinois, and it is to bo hoped will be re-elected ; as
three inore unwavering adherents to the cause of freedom
in the Territories are not to he found in the House of Rep
resentatives.
—ln Crawford coiinly, Pa., Lieut. Gov.
Roberts, and Col. C. K. Ilolliday, both of Kansas, are ad
dressing numerous meetings upon the exciting topic of
Freedom in that State. A. B. Richmond. Esq., Pnno
cratic District Attorney, and last Fall a Democratic can"
didatc for the legislature, has declared for Fremont, and
is about " stumping " the county.
Bully Brooks in lii.s speech tit Columbia,
S. C.. told the citizens of that State that the only course
for the South, in tlie event of FKKMONT'S election, is " to
march to Washington, seize the archives of the Govern
ment, and rob the treasury." Gov. FOKI, of Ohio, who
is stumping Pennsylvania for FKF.*ONT, and doing noble
service, offers as an amendment to BROOKS' motion, that
the South should rob the treasury every year, as one Ami/
would only last them a year, and to keep themselves from
starving they must rob it again. No doubt the amend
ment will carry in tlie South unanimously.
—The returns of tlie rceent election in Ar
kansas are all in except from tlie county of Mississippi.
The whole vote cast was 41,14*, and the majority of Con.
way (Dein.) for Governor, was 12,1>!>4. This is the state
which was reported to have gone for the American ticket,
and which is still claimed for Fillmore.
—When you hear a Buchanan man talking
about Fremont's sympathy with tlie disunion abolition
ists'just challenge them to name a single disnnionist.
North or South, who supports the Republican nominee,
and then refer him to tlie support which James Buchanan
is receiving from the disunion i.-ts of the South.
—The President, iu his proclamation, call
ing an extra session, put it upon the pretense that money
is needed to restore peace among " tlie Indian triiies of
the remote frontier."' To show the shallowness of that
pretext, it is only necessary to state that an Act had al
ready been passed making appropriations for that pur
pose. This bill appropriated SIOO,OOO for Indian purpo
ses in Oregon, and to arrest the Indian war.
— SAFF. WAY OF BETTIM; ON ERECTION. —
A new style of bet lias been introduced into tiie canvass.
A gentleman proposes to a lady of different politics from
his own to lct a kiss that his candidate would win, on
these terms : "If Fremont is chosen, you are to kiss me:
if Buchanan, I am to kiss you."
—We learn that one night Inst week the
store of D. L Chapin, at New Columbus, Luzerne county
was entered by some burglar and robbed of some seven
hundred dollars in money and fifteen hundred dollars iu
notes and bonds.
—Will the lion. RCFUS CHOATE lie good
enough to write a Buchanan letter to New Jersey 1 We
should have said Pennsylvania a while ago ; hut recent
indications induce the belief that Pennsylvania can do
without; hut a little of ihe same medicine applied to
New Jersey that tlie prospective Attorney-General lias
administered to Maine would he very acceptable. Who
can secure it ?
—A man took a load* of wood to Klmira,
X. V., which lie endeavored to sell for s'2, Imt failing in
this, he took it down to the river and threw it in, and
complacently watched it till it floated out of night, lie

—Ax UNKQI AI. WAR. —The Free State men
in Kansas are starving as their prospects for a crop this
fall have heen cut off hy the Border Haitians. They must
depend upon contributions from the Free State men of
the North. On the other hand the Missourians have the
State of Missouri close by, and the army appropriation
just passed to aid them. Shall freemen cry in vain for
assistance ? Head the appeal of the Aid Committee
which we publish to-day.
• —Some of our firm gentlemen boast of be
ing " Northern men with Southern principles,"—just as
the Tories of the Revolution might have boasted of being
Americans with British principles.
—The publishers of the Chicago Tribune
will pay a reward of OXR THOFSAXD HOLLARS to
any man that will prove that <"ol. John Charles Fremont,
Republican candidate for the Presidency, is now or ever
has heen a Roman Catholic.
Now, the liars and calumniators, who are defaming
him in newspapers and stump speeches can have a chance
to get pay for making their stories good. Will they come
forward with their proofs, or will they hereafter hold
their peace ?
—A gentleman who has just returned from
a tour through Ohio. Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois,
states front personal observat ons, that apples will be

This Association held a meeting last evemiY
at the Temjierance Temple, and in the absent,
of the President, Mr. Klias Hawley, on nY
tion of Mr. Win Gunnison, Mr. F. S.'Corkr
was called to the chair, and Mr. \V ra 'y
Coalc, jr., was selected as Secretary pro tern
Mr. Win Gunnison, from a Committee appoint"
ed to report an address to the Republicans of
this State, submitted one which set out witl'
the declaration of their devotion to the Con'
stitution and the Union, and of their adheshY
to Free-Soilisni in Territories admitted • ,|,!
daring the Repeal of the Missouri CompY
mise to be a breach of faith on the part of the
South, &c. About the close of the readiim-of
the reading, a large number of persons who
had assembled in the room and around the
door created some slight confusion by crowding
and laughter, when a Mr. Meredith.welljknown
I us a Sunday street preacher, passed down the
room to them and ordered them to leave the
j room or take seats. This was succeeded bv a
I loud laughter, applause .and hisses ; and three
! cheers being proposed for Fillmore, they were
given amid the utmost confusion and UrritjC
noise, produced by stamping, dapping of hands
: Ac. Next three cheers were given for 15u
! clianan, in the same fashion, and for soiue twen
! ly minutes there was kept up a succession of
I cheering for these gentlemen, alternated with
, loud groans for Col. Fremont, Corkran,
nison, Fussell and others taking part in the
| meeting—the whole being interspersed with
cries of " Turn oil' the lights !" " Tar and
j feather theui!" Ac., while loud calls were
made by the same parties from those coueern
jedinthe meeting Soine of the lights here
being turned ofi", these gentlemen commenced
leaving the room, when they were saluted as
| they passed through the crowd, with "-roans
hisses, ami other similar sounds and remarks'
they making as hasty an exit as po-silrfe, fol
lowed by the crowd, where an immense con
; course had assembled, and upon reaehiii"- the
i street loud cries were made for rails upon
which to ride them, and the chceriii" and
J groaning were renewed. Mcs-rs. Corkran and
Col. Win. K. Coale were followed by the crowd
and roughly hustled about until thev hud reach
ed the corner of Gay and Fayette streets
where the former was tripped up or knocked
: down, and the tails of his coat cut entirely <.ff ;
while the latter-named gentleman, a!thou"h
not so roughly treated, was pushed and hustled
about in other than a pleasant manner, and
| his hat mashed in. They were then allowed
to take their departure, while the crowd anuiv
| ed themselves by cutting the portion of Mr.
Corkran's garment they had secured into strips
and distributing it among them. Those tak
ing part in the meeting numbered from thirty
to forty persons, while the outside crowd
: amounted at least to two thousand persons;
1 in fact, the whole street from the hall to Fay
i ette street was almost entirely blocked up.—
From those concerned in the meeting we learn
that the Association had determined npoapro
j seating an electoral ticket in this State, and
I that the names of those selected were to have
been announced at this meeting.
KANSAS DIFFICTI.TIKS. —There is one thing
I connected with Kansas and her difficulties that
others, probably, as well as ourselves, have
noticed, and that is this : liver since the com
-1 mcnccmcnt of the difficulties In that territory
there has been a parcel of men ready to add
i to the excitement by spreading false alarms ail
| over the country. On the first approach ot
danger, such men as R. G. Roberts, and othv
! ers of like kidney, who are more expert in
holding horses than in the use of the ritie,
; frantically rush into Missouri, crying that the
abolitionists are murdering all who oppose their
will and offer them any resistance. Others,
like Atchison and Striiigfellow, send forth in
cendiary appeals, calculated to .-tir up had
blood, and lead the unthoiighted into acts of
! violence. These men also tell us that it is all
a family quarrel—that government has noth
ing to do with it, and no right to interfere.
From these facts the people can readily see
who it is that is keeping up the excitement and
urging their neighbors to become violators o>
the laws of the land. The Fierce adiuinistra
j tion, by its acts, lirst brought about the diffi
j culticß, and now, with the aid of the AMition
i>ts, keep them up. We iiud the l'residciu
encouraging men in the idea that government
has no right to interfere and quell tlnscdiv
, tnrbanccs, by refusing to order out
j States troops—by refusing to move a linger to
allay the excitement, l'arty drill and
tactics keep him silent, for fear it will IIHU'H
j bad effect in the Presidential election. I' "-'

people of Missouri to he stigmatized a- i , r

looked upon as a set of abandoned outlaws
