41 The enthusiasni of the people for 'Fremont
• and Freedom Was strikingly' exhibited by
the meeting on 'Wednesday to hear Mr. Law
" don'saddress on " Tree °Kansas." It was
not advertised as a mass meeting, nor was a
long• list of distinguished names from abroad
paraded to: induce attendance, but the sim
ple announcement that a true Jman would
speak to his felloW citizens on the'great ques
tion of Freedom in the TerritoTifs, brought
together a crowd at least twice "as large as
that of the Buchaiteers on Monday. • Hon.'
• Charles 'Tingley was chairman the meet
ing_.,
The address ~‘its a powerful argument,
.calivened with flashes of wit, and cznta4rting
= - nnary splendid pawages of 'soul-siirring elo
:,quence... Although he spoke in open air,
• and rain was falling most of the, time, he,wits
- listened to for two hours with rapt attention,
and the cheers that the crowd sentup for
Fremont and Freedom made the welkin ring.
:At the clise of Mr. Landon's speech, the
Great Bend , Cornet Band—a spirited band of
young Fremonters—" discoursed most ez
•cellent music," when Alfred fine, Esq., of
,
- Tunkhannock, waS catled forward ;and briefly
___addreised the audience, after which the crowd
dipersed in enthnsiastic'spirits.
The `ladies were present in considerable.
;numbers, as they are always ready to give
§. -countenance to a good cause.
Wecannot now describe the meeting es it
deserve,9, but must say, in, brief, that it was
aglorious meeting, and .evinced• the sound
ness of the lieoplei on the great Issue.

Tuesday, a nd was; raining steadily 'when. the
hour for the meeting to hear Mr. Grow ai=

question of the da‘y, with. his usual force and
eloquetice When it was announced that Mr.
7G'row, bad ; wrrived. Mr. brow soon came
forward, and wasgraited with' a round of
,cheers that rnade"the building sbake. He
could not doubt from - his reception \bat that
audience appreciated his labors and approv !
ed his'course in the trying ordeal through
which be has lately passed. He proceeded
to elucidate, with great clearness and, elo
quence; the nature of the issue presented to
the freemen of this Republic in this presi
dential contest. :He "showed that the sieve-
ry propagandists have seized upon they , organi
.zatkin of the Democratic paity, and that am
bitious leaders are non , using that organiza
i tion to aidin extending slavery. He point
-- ed his hearers to the difference in the pfesent
position and past career of the two eandi
datcs, FreMont and - Buchanan, and asked the
citizens of Busquehanna county, as intelligent'
men and patriots, to choose between them;
But we shall rOt, attempt to give , eyen - a
synopsis,of 'his speech. We only wish that
every voter in the countymay bear him on
this great question of slavery aggression, and
we trust that before November they will
have an opportunity toda so.
Let those wholwerepresent at.the Buchan

-much parade, compare the speeches of that
day with those pf Tuesday evening, and tell

still beat true 4th Freclorn, and they peed
t)nly to understand the issue to go almost

fur a Democratic rally at the School House

in the house or out Orbers, or Whether the
chairman was elected by onet.or two votes.
After the very eloquent address of the gen ,

WASHINGTON CITY, June 18, 1856.-
11Y DiAn,Sm : I congratulate .vot . ! on the
nomination of your favorite eandi.;:late for the
Prtsidene.
.
If the nomination of Mr. Buchanan was ac
eeptable to the at first, it is still more so now,
since 1 have sen Win- and heard him speak.
The Committee, of which 1 was • one, Waited
on him at his residence to give him f•rmal
and- official notice of hisThomination, and in
the name of the National Democracy to re
quest his acceptance. of it. We :found him
1 open, frank, and wholly undisguised *in the,
expression of his sentiments. Mr. BUchan
an said, in. the presenw of all who had
1 assembled—and they. Were from the North
land the South,
.the East and the West=
;that he stood upon the Cincinnati. Platform
land indorsed every Part of it. He teas explic-•
I it' in 'his remarks •on its Slavery features,;
saying that the Slavery issue teas the nbrorb
•ing element in the canvass. Ile recognizn
to its fullest extent the overshadowing im
portance of that 'lane, and if elected, •he
would. make it the great aim of Adininis
tra lion to settle the question upon such terms
as should give peace and sleety to the Union,,
and, security to the South.. He spoke in•
terms of decided commendatioseof f -the Kansas
bill, and. as pointedly depreeated the un
worthy enorts of sectional agitation to get
up ii. national conflagtatiort on that question.
After the passage of the Compromise meas
ures- of 1850, the Kansas bill Was, he . said,
. necessary to hartnonlie bilr legislation in ref
erence to the TerritOries, and he expressed
his surprise that there should appear any
where an organized opposition to the Kansas
bill, after the general aequiesenee which the
*hole counjry hid expressed in the measures
of 1850: •
. . • .
• After thus speaking of Kansas and the .
Slavery issues, Mr. Buchanan passed to our
foreign policy: He approved in general terms
of the Cintinnati resolutions on this subject.
But said that while enforcing our own policy,
we must at' all times ' scrupulously regard
the just rights and proper policy of other na
Lions. He 'was not opposed ,to Territorial
, extension. ' All our acquisitions had been
fairly and honorably made. ' Our necessities
might require us to make other acquisitions;
He regarded the acquisition of CuPtt its tery
desirable now, and it fleas likely to become a
- national necessity. *Whenever we' could ob
tain the Island on fair, honorable terms, he
was for taking it. But, 'he added, it will 'be
a terrible necessary that would induce me to
'sanction any movement that . Would'bring re
, proach. Lipkin us; or tarnish the honor and glo ,
ry of our beloved country '••
• - . After the formal interview was, Over, Mr.
Buchanan said playfully, but in the-presence
of the whOle audience '
"if I can be instrw
mental in' settling the Slavery question upon
the terms I have named; and then add Cuba
to the tiniOn, i shalt, if President, be willing
to give up the ghost and let Breckenridge take
the Government." Could there 'be a more
noble ambition: . You may A-01 be proud of
your early choice of a candidate, and. con
gratulate yourself that nci'adverse • influences
ever moved you an inch frOm your stern
purpose of giving the great Pennsylvanian a
steady, earnest and cordial support. In My
jUdgment he is as Worthy of Southern confr •
dince and Southern Votes 'as • .Mr. Calhoun .
ever was; and in saying this I 'do not mean
to_ intithate that Mr. Buchanan has 'any' sec
tional prejudices in our favor.' I only mean
to say that he has none against us, and that
we may rely with absolute certainty on re
ceiving
full justice, according to the Constitu
tion, at his hands. - : 1

A PERTINENT QuEsriox.—Among the laws
framed by the Border Milian Legislature of
Kansas, is one which enacts that any person
enticing, conveying away; or !kidnapping a
white child from its parents or guardians in
the Territory of Kansas, shalt suffer the pen
alty of six months imprisonment in the coun
ty jail, and be further liable to such - fine as
the discretion of the Court may suggest.
Another 'law makes the penalty for enti
cing, conveying away, or kidnapping - a negro
child in said Territory --DEATH V So for steal
ing a white baby, six months 'imprisonment
is the 'huniane and just extent of the law.—
For stealing a negro. baby, DEATH!
