glanced against his left breast. He still used

And as Captain Sykes saw jiim, with up*

moment since he viewed ip the. prime and
bloom of manhood, he bowed his head and
wept, as none but a warrior', can.
Lieutenant Maxwell, was buried at his post,
with military honors; anda round his lonely
grave were heard sobs and were seen (ears

though tears were to me a stranger, still, when
J heard the soldier’s requiem and the fusilade
over his grave, they did burst forth uncon

memorial of his fate, they coma un bidden.
He.died without an enemy. .He'died as a

the-right of judging, and determining for yoorselses,
and under the Constitution—though winked men
bare made that instrument sanction almost as great
wrongs—no law can deprive yon of it. Lend year
attention/or a moment: At a Democratic Masa
meeting held at.Wellsboro’, July ftb.lhe following
resolution was passed without a dissenting voice '• ■
Resolved, That the Union of Freemen, without
regard-to fanner political attachmcute, is the only
toftty for freedom.
Blit What sustenance has been given to the spirit
of this resololion by any sobseqnent action of the
democratic party ? Was the calling of a Connfy
Convention under "the ansplces of the democratic
Standing Committee, exclusively,a call for the "un
ion of Freemen, without'regard to former political
attachments?” ' Will any sensible mao contend that
it was? Will tha sapient gettor-np of the Tioga
convention stand op boldly, and contend that be act
ed up to the spirit of that resolution, which be hid
not independence enongh to vote against in Mass
meeting?
(“ Call you this backing of resolutions ?")
Wo presume none of these things will begone.
The nominations mode in that Convention are not,
without exception, such as good anti-Nebraska men
can support, or will support; therefore, a call has
been circulated (tho same will be found jn another
column) for a truly Union Convention, to be held on
the evening of the slh of September at Wellsboro',
the purpose of revising the ticket made up in
the Tioga Convention, and'make such alterations as
a conscientious regard for principle shall render nee
essary. A prompt election of six delegates in each
township and borough should bo had, and a full Con
vention will be secured.
Let no man underrate tho importance of the ap
proaching election. It is to be made the occasion of
justly rebuking the South, and Northern traitors lor
their infamous conduct during the late Congress, and
their threatened aggressions in the future.
Do not forget'that the next Legislators is to elect
an D.'S. Senator. It is very important that Tioga
should send a [pan to represent her, whdVill repre
sent her truly— a man who will- vote fbr ao oot and
out Free Boiler b> 611-that highland responsible oft

Good Doctbine.— The Saratoga Conven
tion, among others almost os; good, jpassed
the following resolutions, bold, decided- and
full of meaning:
“Reiolved, That the doctrine affirmed by
the Nebraska, bill) and gilded ever by its ad
vocates with the specious phrases of ’ non-in
tervention’ and 1 Popular Sovereignty,’ is re
ally and clearly a complete surrenderor oil
ground hitherto asserted and maintained by
f|te free‘Stales with respect to the limitation
of Slavery, and is a plain concession and re
cognition pf >he right of slaveholders to trans
fer their : human .chattels, to. any part of the
Public Domain, and there hold them as slaves
so long as cupidity may tempt, and force shall
suffice to detain them in servitude.”
‘‘Respired, That, the deliberate repudia
tion by the Slave Power,, on tbe.yery first
