Sit- : For some time past, an anonymous ami
nt l. 11v unindorsed string of cahimnie* and mis
representations, entitled " Infidelity and Abo!-
" itionism ; An Open letter to the hricndsof
Religion, Morality,and the American 1 nion,
li's been pratn tonsly Ih ol'd ov r the country.
I have been repeatedly asked to put my foot
<>ii it, but declined to do so, a> I do not deem
anonymous slanders worthy of so tnucli con
sideration. But n respected clergyman of your
State sends me one of the three copies of this
deli ctablc concern which he has just received
under your frank, indicating that V"N are en
paci d in n general distril ntion of this tissue
of li s throughout your State, or at least among
her ch rirvmen. I pay. therefore, to you, the
responsible indorsee, a rc-|"'ct of which the
naked und skulking tiled w as ami is utterly liti
wrtithv, and proceed to expose some of the
more iluuranl of its falsehoods :
1. '• We assert, anil Wy coatradirtlon. that ewrvor
inthh 1 doctrine* i* now an optimiza
tion in fax or f Krruiont ; ami we u-MTt aWo thut all
th MI- iU -inn* ;i 4*Hxolntion of the I niou are openly co
opnitint with the*e organization. *
This is grossly false, Mr. Bigler ! find you
know it. It is false, that even the handful of
Northern Dimnionists support Fremont, us I
ahull soon show ; hut all these are insignificant
in number* and power when compared with tiie
Southern Nullifiers and Secessionists, cverv one
hostile to Fremont, and nearly all supporting
Buchanan. In South Carolina. those who de
sire and expect a speedy dissolution ot the
Union are a very large if not the larger par
ty ; they hold high stations and edit influen
tial journals ; one member of the Cabinet
(Jeff. Davis) ran for Governor on the ticket
of the "State Rights " anti-Compromises-of
lS. r >o party ; and throughout the South there
is a powerful interest in favor of dissolving the
Union whenever they ran no longer rule it -
You know how Bully Brooks boasted in the
House that he could have caused a civil war
bv merely raising his hand ; you have rend his
irrave proposition that the South should march
upon Washington and seize the Federal trea
sury and archives, in case Fremont should be
elected, before he can be inaugurated; and
'.tin know that Kcitt, Wise, and other eminent
S .uthern supporters of Buchanan, are habitu
ally indulging in similar bluster. You arc
slandering a very hirire portion of your fellow
citizens, Mr. Bigler, and utterly falsifying the
record, in asserting that all the Disuiiioiiists—
or any considerable portion of them —are found
in the Fremont ranks.
2 Following in the same track, your libel
proceeds to copy from The Stir- \or!c Standard
of April 10th last, representing it as a " T'rc.
vant Abolition organ," and speaking of it again
as " this advocate of Fremont, The Standard.'
'I hat. Sir, is a deliberate lie. No one can
have copied from 'The Standard without know
ing that it is of the Gnrrisoniau non-voting
S'-huul of Abolitionists, bitterly hostile to Col.
l'n mont and to the Republican party. It is
ns utterly averse to frcuioiit's election as you
are, or as gonr Secessionists allies at the South
can well be.
3. Your pamphlet proceeds to quote from
" 1 rston Liberator , Garrison's paper— a paper
thft supports John C. Fremont."
This, Sir, is another black, blistering false
hood. The Liberator supports no candidate
fur Federal office, being hostile to voting, to
the Union, and the Constitution, but especial
ly hostile to Fremont and the Republican par
ty. Columns to this effect might be quoted
from it, but the fact is notorious among intel
ligent men. The Liberator will not even sup
port Gerritt Smith, and it never supported any
Republican or A uti Nebraska ticket. \et
the lie is repeated, and reiterated, as if its au
thor found a real pleasure in the simple act of
lying
t l'assiug by several insignificant or irrclc
\nnt lies—among others that involved in call
ing Wendell Phillips a " Boston Infidel," when
he is an orthodox Christian, and then insinuat
ing that lie is a supporter of Fremont, when
he is his inflexible opponent —I proceed to the
following :

Mr. Senator I'isrter ! you occupy a very ex
alted statiou, while I am a private citizen, and
both of us occasionally address our fellow-citi
zens on the politics of the day with reference
to the Presidential Election. When Ido so
I generally read the platforms of the three
parties with relation to Slavery, and set forth
their |>oiiits of accordance and of difference.
I then compare the doctrines of each party, as
thus defined and pro. laimed hy itself, with
those of Washington, Jefferson, and our Rev-
oliitioiiary patriots, and with the action of Con
gress throughout the purer days of the Repub
lic. 1 ask those who hear me to vote for Fre
mont and against Buchanan because of the po
sition taken by thein respectively on the great
issue of the day, as Mr. Buchanan truly pro
nounced it in his interview withSenater Albert
G. Brown. I appeal to all who have heard
me to say whether I have or have not at any
jiersoually assailed Mr. Buchanan or auy of
his supporters—whether I have or have not
sought to divert attention from the great is
sues tirade up by -the rival National Conven
tions to irrelevant and trivial matters, or to
the opinions of your candidate or his friends
on any question not involved in the canvass.—
You, isir ! have chosen a different course ; we I
shall see how the People regard it. l"p to
this hour, 1 cannot hear that any member of
your party has ever printed the Three Plat
forms and the Letters of Acceptance of the
rival candidates for President for circulation ,
among the voters of all parties ; I have print
ed many thousands of these, and shall be hap
py to supply you with them at cost. But you
do not want them—you would carefully refrain
from distributing if you had them ; and your
fellow partisans have repeatedly denied the
fact that the Cincinnati Convention unanimous
ly endorsed the administration of Franklin
Pierce, and at first voted down a resolve favor
ing the Pacific Railroad—the Pennsylvaiiians
going solid against it, and afterward voting
for an ambiguous, non-committal expression of
opinion in its favor. This day, there are hand
bills circulated in your State calling on the
people to rally for " Buchanan, Breckinridge
and Free Kansas, 1 ' just us they were called in
'44 to struggle for " Polk, Dallas and the. Tar
iff of "42." I observe one of the speakers who
ui '44 maintained in a public debate that Polk
was a better Protectionist than Clay, now on
the stum; demonstrating that Buchanan's elec
tion w ill more subserve the cause of Freedom
in the Territories that would that of Fremont.
Perhaps, Mr. Bigler ! such tricks will win, as
they have won ere now—and perhaps they will
not. 1 bid you welcome to all that you can
make by such a canvass, and remain
Your's, indignantly,
HORACE GREELEY.
A CAM. FROM ONE OK PIERCE'S TRAITORS.—
Y'csterday afternoon a gentleman called at our
office, to all appearauee a peaceful and respect
able citizen. He was introduced to us as Mr.
Smith of Kansas. We were astonished to as
certain in conversation with him, that it was
(J. W. Smith, one of Pierce's traitors, who
has been under arrest for about four mouths
011 a charge of High Treason against the
United States. A venerable looking man,
past the meridian of life, lie has been a prison
er until the 11th of September ever since the
21st of May. He has lain upon the ground
under a simple tent cover, during all the heats
nnd rains of the summer, suffering a portion
of the time from fever aud ague, and is now
released on bail, not from any intention of do
ing him justice for the great wrongs he has
suffered, but that Pennsylvania may be clieat
into the belief that the administration has
adopted a christian policy and give her vote
for Buchanan.
Mr. Smith has been thus cheated out of all
his summer. His grounds have lain idle, his
property run to waste. He was arrested by
United States authority and after stipulating
with him thut he should board himself, and
that they (the U. S. territorial officers) would
allow him a certain amount jierweek for board
during such time as he was uudcr arrest, they
discharged him ou bail, and refuse or neglect
to pay him a cent, although S4OO is due to him
and his fellow "traitors."
Mr. Smith, our readers should know, went
to Kansas from Butler, Fa. Muny of our cit
izens know him right well. He has been ab
sent from his late home and his family no less
than six mouths. He came back under con
voy of certain Missouri friends byway of the
the Missouri River, but first had to procure
the following, which we have copied verbatim
from the original document :
TERRITORY OF KANSAS, I
Lecompton, Sept. term, 1850. J
G. W. SMITH, On charge of high treason,
in the first District Court for the first judicial
District for the Territory of Kausas. And
upon the hearing of his cause he gave bond
and security for his appearance at the next
term of said Court to be holdcn for Douglas
Co. And there are no other indictment? in
said Court against him. Ido certify that this
is upon docket in my office, given under my
hand at Lecompton Sept. 20, 1850.
( j ) 11. C. BISHOP, Dep. Clerk,
( J " 1 F forJAS. R. WHITF.HF.AD.
Such is the freedom of a citizen of tho Free
States in Kansas. God help us. A man
must have a pass to travel in a territory or a
state of the Union !
Mr. Smith gives us the gloomiest account of
matters in the Territory at present. Geary lias
caused to be arrested no less than 113 of the
citizcus of Lawrence and vicinity, and some
300 more for whom warrants arc out have fled
the Territory. They are charged with outrage
ous crimes. The people in Lawrence are in a
suffering condition owing to the almost impos
sibility of obtaining food at any rate. We
content ourselves with the above items, because
Mr. Smith has come home to put his shoulder
to the wheel, lie trill probably go to Greens
burg today. He feels that he cannot do
j enough to forward the glorious cause ; that
day and nigh, must be devoted to the holy
i cause of freedom, whose only hope in Kansas
iis in the election of Fremont. We will hear
from Mr. Smith. — Pittsburg Gazette.

THE ELECTION.
We have delayed our paper one day, for the
j purpose of giving our re iders the result of the
j election held on Tuesday. We are obliged,
| however, to go to press with very meagre re
turns as far as concerns details, though enough
; is ascertained to render it extremely probable
| that the Buchanan State Ticket is elected by
t a small majority. We shall not attempt to
! give the vote as reported by the telegraph, be
cause it is extremely unreliable. The gains for
; the Buchaniers appear to have been made in
j the Eastern and centre counties of the State
• We have not even definite returns from Phila
delphia, but it is rumored to give from 2200
to 5000 majority for the Buchaniers.
In the absence of all details, we have ru
: mors of a large majority in the State for the
Buchanan State Ticket, which of course, are
mere exaggerations. The latest and most re
; liable information we now possess is contained
; in the following despatch from HORACE GREE
■ LEY :
Wbiwisdav. 8 o'clock P. M.
| Gave up this morning, by from 5000 to soon majority
j against us. Looks better now, but very doubtful.
H. GRRHLBV.
It is barely jiossiblc that the Counties north
and west yet to be heard from, may save us
from impending defeat. We believe we shall
do well in the localities where Freedom has
been the rallying cry, as in glorious old Brad
ford. These localities are yet to be heard
from.
Susquehanna gives the Union State Tick
et over 1000 majority. Sullivan gives a uni
form Buchanan majority of 165.
We have nothing from below in regard to
the Legislature. ALLISON WHITE (dera,) is
elected to Congress in the Lycoming district.
GROW will have nearly 1000 . majority in this
district.
From this somewhat gloomy prospect, wc
turn with proud exultation to our own County.
Here the standard of Freedom has been un
furled, and the intelligent, the patriotic, the
sturdy yeomanry of the County have rallied
almost en masse beneath its glorious folds.—
FOUR THOUSAND majority is a verdict of
which wc may well be proud. It testifies to
the country, that in victory or defeat, through
good or evil report, the Freemen of Bradford
will ever be ready to vindicate the cause of
Human Rights, and tht interests of white la
bor.
Otir County Ticket has a majority of about
four thousand, running with great regularity
I from the highest to the lowest office. We ap
pend the returns as far as received', from which
it will be seen that Laporte has a majority in
r try election district but one.
Later. —Later despatches received at Wa
verly say that in all bnt 11 counties the Union
State Ticket is ahead. The 11 counties gave
last year 4000 majority for Nicholson.
Another despatch received at Wavcrly says
the Uuiou State Ticket is elected by 5000 ma
jority.

LETTER FROM 8. D INGHAM.
On our outside we publish a letter from Hon.
8. D. INGHAM addressed to Hon. JOHN LA
PORTE. This, like oil Mr. INGRAM'S produc
tions, presents in n clear light the benefits
which the freemen of the North would derive j
from having Kansas a free state. He views !
the question in its true asi>ect —whether the i
fair lields of that fertile territory shall be giv-1
en np to slave labor, and "skinned'' by that
deteriorating system, or shall be cultivated by
free hands, and become the garden of the
country, covered with fruitful farms, and dot
ted with thriving towns, and churches, and
school houses. The freemen of the North are
to decide this question in November next. If
they would preserve this vast territory, capa
ble of maintaining five millions souls, for the
possession aud occupation of their children,
they must vote so that negro slavery will be
forever excluded. They must vote to extend
the blessings of liberty, and not to degrade
free labor by the degrading contact of involun
tary servitude, beside which free white men
eannot labor, without sinking below the level
of the negro. If slavery is fastened upon Kan-
Ms, the freemen of the North are virtually ex
cluded. Legislative enactments are not more
inexorable than the laws of cause and effect.
All experience has demonstrated that free
white labor will shun the contact of servile ne
gro labor. The two cannot exist together,
with profit and pleasure to the white man.—
Missouri, one of the most fertile states in the
Union, with an unsurpassed climate, and the
most unbounded resources, never enters the
mind of the farmer, who contemplates " going
West." Why? Because negro slavery exists
there and disgraces and dwarfs industry. Free
lowa, on the North, with not a tithe of its ad
vantages or natural resources, is filling up as
by a miracle, with a hardy, industrious popu
lation. The price of lands on either side of
the Missouri line, which divides the two states,
illustrates the beauties of the two systems of
slavery and freedom. The best of farming
laud is vacant in Missouri, while in lowa land
of not as good quality is eagerly sought after
at treble the price at which the former could
have been obtained.
If tlic farmers of Bradford are willing to
forever deny to their sons the privilege of set
tling in Kansas, let them vote for BUCHANAN,
and thus rivet the chains of slavery upon that
fair land. If, on the contrary, they have a
hope that some day their children may be
thriving farmers in Kansas, let them vote to
preserve it to Freedom. The election of JOBS
C. FREMONT will secure this glorious result.
9&r The great question to be answered at
the polls on the 4th November is not, " Shall
Americans rule America?" but shall slave men
with negroes, or free men without them, occu
py and control the lands of Kansas, and the
other unsettled territories of our America ?
There are three tickets before the people :
Ist. The slave-soil, or negro and bondage
extension ticket ; candidates, James Buchanan
and John C Breckinridge
2d. The 'alf and 'HIf. or sort 'o and soft 'o
not extension ticket : Candidates, Millard Fill
more and Andrew J. Donelson.
3d. The free soil, or white men's and free
dom-extension ticket: Candidates, John C.
Fremont and Win. I>. Dayton.
On each of the two first one name is that of
a man holding fellow-men in bondage, and the
other that of a mau of corresponding senti
ments.
On the third, both names nrc those of men
who fin not hold others in bondage, and who
disapprove of extending slavery, and crowding
out freemen.
Fellow citixens—whether of American or
European parentage —is it your will that the
tcrri tories once consecrated to freedom and
your use, shall be retained for yourselves and
your childreu ?—or will you surrender them to
the control of the slave-men that are now
treacherously robbing you of your rightful in
hcrritauce ? Let your votes answer.
CONNECTICUT EI.KCTIONS. —Town elections
took place on Monday in a number of towns
in Connecticut, which, though of little impor.
tance compared with the imjKMuling presiden
tial contest, show, nevertheless, how the wind
blows in that quarter. The Hartford ('ourant
thns sums up the results, so far as ascertained :
" Our returns are from 110 towns—of these
12 give Fremont majorities, 41 Buchanan ma
jorities, and six are divided. Compared with
last fall, the Fremontcrs have gained in 24
(owns and the Buchaniers in 10—seven of these
ten towns were against us last spring, so that
they have virtually gained in but three towns.
Of the 24 towns gained by the Fremonters
14 arc gains from the vote of last spring, as
well as the fall previous ; and of the 6 divid
ed towns 5 were against us last spring."
The Buchanan papers have been claiinihg
this as a victory ! Our readers will judge,
with how much reason.
MORE TREASON IS VIRGINIA. —Mr. Itow
Lock wood, Treasurer of the Tabernacle Kan
sas Aid Committee, in New-York, has received
a contribution of SIOO in aid of Free Kansas,
from Virginia. Evidently, Governor WISF. is
becoming remiss in the discharge of his execu
tive duties, or so treasonable a contribution
would never emanate from the state of V ir
ginia. The mails that leave the Old Domin
ion will henceforth have to be searched as
*
rigidly as those which enter it.

reasons why he cannot support the pro-slavery
Democratic ticket.
Important Letter from Kansas.
LAWKKKOK, K. T.. Sept. 22, lsjti.
DEAR BROTHER :—I have intended to write
to you again lor some time, but have written
so often to OIJVK and CHARLOTTE, that 1 did ;
not think it necessary. Our Free State ship
is near sinking 1 . Starvation and extermination
are staring us in the fuce—not extermination
by the Border Ruffians, but by Pierce and the
force of the General Government. When his
last appointee, Geary, came here some two'
weeks ago, our forces were all together, and
we had kept the Ruffians at their distanee ; he j
was so plausible and smooth it was thought \
best to give him a trial. Our forces were seat- j
tered and sent into different parts of the Ter
ritory, and wo expected of him some sort of j
justiee ; a man by the name of Adams that 1
came with him and acted as a sort of Secre
tary or spokesman, made himself at home here,
and by his consent and assistance, an expedi
tion was fitted out to go over the river and
rout a camp of Georgians that were over there
committing outrages. The force numbered
abont I*2o strong, with one piece of artillery ;
! they left here at midnight ; about 10 o'clock
the next day they found the enemy some 80
|or 00 strong in three block houses. Seeing
I our forces coining upon them, they ran up the
; Black Flag of no quarter and commenced fir
ing ; the battle lasted 5 hours ; our cannou
could not be made efficient, on account of the
ground. At last tiicy ran up the white flag ;
our officers ordered them to take down the
black one, which they did, and agreed to leave
the Territory if our men would allow them to
| Our forces fell back six miles and rested. We
; had 7 wounded : they had 2 killed and 14
| wounded. Adams, as soon its our forces left
| him, went to the Governor and reported. Gca
| rv sent a company of U. S. tr<opA after our
j men, found them, and arrested them all, and
put them into Leconiptou ns prisoners ; here
; they were marched through the streets and iu-
I suited by all the Ruffians that chose to, and
i finally were marched off to the ('amp of the
: Government troops. All this time, 8b hours,
they had nothing to eat except a few ears of
j roast corn. UYRIJS GI.EASOX is among them,
i During this time, the Missourians conic upon
i Franklin, burned 3 or 4 houses and a.saw mill,
| and marched on to this place. Geary was sent
i for and-came with some troops, ami coaxed
the enemy bark ; with all his troops ami can
non, he was afraid of them. The next day
sonic of them passed up stealing all the hor

; they shot him. Geary went in and saw the

next day went to Topcka and arrested 15 more
Free State men. While he is doing this, the
U. S. Marshal and the Ruffians are claiming

to and asked to stop this, but sais "Go TO

Wednesday, Srjifctrthcr 24.—Yesterday Go
vernor Robinson and some others went up to
Leconipton to see what was being done with
the prisoners ; wc do not many of us dare to
go ; as soon as we get there they arrest us ;
they got one or two of our men yesterday in
that way ; th 5 s ruts off nil evidence for the
defence and gives them a good chance to con
vict us. Yesterday the prisoners, 101 in num
ber, tf ero b ought hp to be examined on charge
of Murder, Cyrus Gleason among them 5 they
will probably be fill the Week at it, and then
bind them over to appear next Court. I do
not think any of them will try to get bail if
they ask it of them. This is what we get by
submitting to a tool of Frank Pierce and the
Slave Oligarchy. Our men are leaving the
Territory as fast as they can get out of it ;
sueh a stampede for the Fast was never before
known.
Sonic of our free state men nre trying to get
hold of the Indian Village of Wvendott at
the junction of the Missouri and L-.nsas Hi
rers. If they get it, it is a big strike for the
free state folks ; we will then liuilcl a town 011
the M issouri Hirer that free state people will
not lie run out of; it is one of the greatest
mistakes that our people ever made, that we
hare not secured a place on thnt river before.
The Delaware trust lands arc to be sold at
auction, at Fort Learcmnorth, 011 the 20th of
October ; they are cash sales, and all they
bring over 02 1-2 cents per acre goes to the
Indians ; the land office may he O]>on in a
week, and it mar not in a month or six months ;
it all depends on the will of the President, but
my impression is that it will open for pre-emp
tion soon, and probably no sale until spring ;
at any rate, not one in ten of the inhabitants
can pay for their land now or support them
selves through the winter.
Yours of September 10th came last mail.—
I am glad that you arc so sanguine on Fre
mont's election : on it hangs the fate of this
Territory. Yours trnly,

ftc?" A splendid pole was raised at Monroe
ton, by the Fremont and Dayton Club of that
place, on Thursday last. After the pole was
raised, by some mischance the rope became de
tached, and ran out of the block at the top,
so that the flag could not be hoisted. J.\MF.S
SIMMONS, of North Towanda, performed the
unequalled feat of climbing the pole over one
hundred feet and running the rope through the
pully. The stars and stripes were then spread
to the breeze with three times three for the
standard bearers of Freedom, and three well
deserved cheers for Mr. Simmons. A large
and enthusiastic meeting was held in the even
