St. Lou is, Monday., JunaYi, 1B65;„.
, I have-just been convening with aAriend
of mme who has recently visited thu. seat of
warTrW.oiloso- Missouri—-and [ have-lea iJied
from him soiria facia wbich.shauld be known
to the many readers of The Tribune* The
papers .of‘f his. any;, and many of thesp-cclled
“conservative” sheets of the North, we sdsn
the habit of crying Peace, Paacer when.(here
in in reaUly: no,*peace, but on the, contrary
moai violent strife and confusioD j .il is getting
no common to say that “quiet is beginning to
reign on the Missouri frontier," and lhai “all
wif! yet be well,” ihat it is high time .for the
reaf facts in the case to be publishcrf at the
East, where every one may read them with
out nroiudice. and where the truth may as
sault even the deaf enrsof our jmbecile 'and
impotent Administration.
My friend of whom I speak is hy'btfth and
education.a Pro-Slavorv man j yet his-good
sensa and honesty lead him to speak the truth
always, he says that Wqs\eri» Missouri is
at present under a Rpign of Terror modeler'
rible than that of Robespierre, because.exist-'
mg-in a land claiming-to be free, enlightened
and Christianized. The fire-eaters eremrgan
izcd m a secret band, and conspire together
m-secret meetings. Their hand is againsl
every man who will not loudly advocate their
damnable doctrines. Those who are rtof
with them these Slavery propagandists con
sider lo be aga.msi them, and no ancient ban
of excommunication could be more fearful
than their, avowed enmity, .Whisky is their
inspiration, and hemp and tar and feathers are
their arguments. They have resolved to hang,
to bully and intimidate, un
til the curse of slavery sliall-he fixed on Kan
sas. You have learned ol the conduct ofj
these men toward Mr, Philips, a lawyer
of Leavenworth, whose only crime was a re
mopsU&nce against perjury and illegal voting
(lojr.lhe-cbarge that he was engaged in the
afljray in, which that notorious rowdy, Mai
coift Clark, .was justly slam, is now ocknowl
edged to be false ;) how they dragged him
over to Weston, tarred and feathered him,
rode him on a ran, and sold him at auction.
Such an outrage has never before been com
milted, in our State, its brutal details, make
one’s heart sick. Yel my inlormant soys that
Phillips bore the ordeal like a and re.
fused, though be was threatened with hang
ing, lo sign a written obligation to leave Kan
sas. Though a man of slender form, he has
a fiqry eye anu a daring heart. Those twelve
men woo have so deeply ■ injured him
will hear (torn him yol, if appearances ore
not very Jeceithii. They profess lo be re
spectable—some of them ate editors and law.
yer* and physicians; and Phillips will yei
teach them that the rights of a freeman-are
not lo be trammed upon with impunity. |
Affairs on the frontier are in a. very : threat- [
ening stale. The fire-eaters, though a minor- j
ity m .Western -Missouri, bully, and beat {
down the peaceable, and conservative inhabi-j
turn*. They -.are. well armed, and, devote j
themselves assiduously to their work, Eed.l
on'iiy that dtupken demagogue, Davy Atchi-I
son, they believe themselves in lire full tide j
of success. ■ They-pram-of dissolving the!
Union as crazy sailors talk of southing a ship
in a 's|orm. . Ttrey trample upon law and,
order daily, and unless a reaction takes place
soop lhere will be bloodshed m abundeoce.
Meantime oat President of shreds and
patches, careless or ignorant, sits at his ease
in Washington. Why should he do,anything?
Atchison, the damnable bloated trajtor, is Pier
ceV Attorney in fact for Missouri.and Kansas.
Hu will take care of the interests of the South,
which are in truth, if our national politicians
are to he believed, the only affairs in the coun
try worthy of .attention, lie is amply able
to do all the dlny work of ibe.Adinipisiralion

-—the £Uvc’ Power having achieved a complete tri*

vole of'ncarly two to pne; not, however, until thir
teen of the Free Slates bad withdrawn from the Con
vention in disgust. The entire North, Ncw-York
excepted, baa since entered protest against the ac
lion of that body, and hove sent out an Address to
the people as manly ond fearless as it is just and
honorable to the people of the Free Slates. We
publish this address in another column.
The whole country bus been anxiously looking on
to see what position the Order would assume on the
great question of the doy. Not so much that its ad
verse decision could permanently or materially af
fect the cause of Freedom, fbr every ami-Slavcry
man has abundant internal evidence that the North
wilhternbjy distinct boundary liner, is henceforth
to act a prominent part in the political arena; but
to ascertain whether the impolicy of acquiescence
would,be adopted by tbe Order n* urged by a -venal
press under (he censorship of demagogues. Tbe
North luu vindicated its integrity; and though the
South has nominally gained its ends, (he spirit of
Agitation has not been laid.
it is not probable ilbat the decision of a Conven
tion cojhpo*ed of a majority of Southern fire-eaters,
will be held os pf greater imj>oriance than the bon.
e«t convictions of duty which to a great extent in
fluence the Northern masses. Fortunately, the day
hag. gone by in which freemen will submissively
bend to receive and wear the yoke of Southern dom
ination. There Is little danger of further cession of
rights on the part of the North. The summer of
compromise is past, tbe harvest ended with the Ne
braska infamy, and the North is saved—from fur
ther humiliation. The past year has been unusual
ly favorable, to a development of "backbone," in ibis

they will no longer bo bound by past compromises
in favor of Southern Slavery, unless yon come man

what you have stolen after having got pay for giving

Of the whole Southern delegation, but one had
(ho boldness and honesty to denounce tlia Nebraska
bill in terma as fearless as they were manly. .That
man was Kenneth Rayner of North Carolina. "I
would sooner have cut off my right atm than have
voted for that unjust measuresaid he. For this
he was bullied by the ultra delegates in the Conven
tion, and the Washington Union assigns him a
place with the Abolitionists. Wonder if the Atoiiin
son rowdies won’t lake his case under considcrifion.
In view of ail this, wo can see no hope of harmo
ny or fellowship between the North and the South.
Freedom and Slavery can never fraternize, and God
forbid thkl one, even one effort should be made to
fraternize such antagonisms. No! let the Union
perish, hut the mighty distinction between Freedom
and Slavery never 1 Freedom first, then union will
follow “os the day the night” in obedience to the
immutable decrees of Heaven. *Tkyzl the vexed ques
tion of Slavery can ever again bo ignored by the
North ia not to bo thought of. Henceforth the di
viding line between the North and the South will be
legibly drawn, and we are tempted to add, “Wo be
to him who removcih Freedom's landmark." Her
“stakes and stones," let no sacrilegious hand profane.
Where did it come from? —Daring a recent
■bower, wbilo the "devil" was engaged in catching
water at the rain spout, a liulo fish came down the
pipe and landed in the pail. It is now in the ofiicc,
swimming about as contentedly in ils tub as though
it had never visited the upper regions. Where did
it eome from and how did it gel there 7 —Corning
Journal.
The circumstance can bo accounted for in two
ways. The fish might have been drawn up a few
hours previously by any of the small whirlwinds
that generally precede and foretell a shower. The
power of these little whirls is well known, end the
facility with which heavy bodies are lifted up into
their vortices, needs no explanation here. We have
witnessed there plicnmneiu olien, though wo never
saw it rain fish hut in one instance. Toads ond an
glc-worni» are the must common rain. falls; showers
of "Hosh and blood” arc rcporletVin the papers, tho’
we never remember having rend of such a shower
occurring in tho Northern Staton. In Mississippi
and Kentucky such sanguinary showers have been
obFerved, and in this no reference is had to' woman
whipping. Wo once saw what purported to be a
shower of sulphur, but which upon investigation
proved to he a shower of maple pollen.
The other way of accounting for the falling of
fish and frogs, suggested itself to us while resding
a work on Meteorology not long since, by whom we
do not now remember, and which, sa it is merely
speculative, is entitled to just that amount df cre
dence that reason will justify. The author alluded
to in treating upon the subject of storms, supposed
that the luminous appearances called mock suns, to
be llic rays of Iho sun reflected by a frozen
cloud. Tlicas clouda be conjectured, had much lo
do with Ilia condensation of vapor and the fall of
rain. These mosses of ico lie supposed might be of
vast extent in certain terial regions, supported by
the buoyancy of the atmosphere. This suggested
lo us the possibility of the existence of clouds dense
enough to retain apd hatch the toe of fishes and the
eggs of frogs, both of yohich are probably quite oft
en taken up in whirlwinds. This theory will ac
count for tho phenomena noticed as well ss sny
other.

The tornado that recently passed over La
peer County, Michigan, was the most violent
ever experienced in that State. The damage
to houses, barns, fences and forests is verv
great. The heaviest loss will be the destruc
tion' of the valuable pine and other limber in
its course. So great was the force of the
whirlwind that nothing could withstand it.
The giants of the forest ivhich have withstood
(he storms of a hundred years, were Wfertched
from their firm roots and tossed about like
straws. Even stumps firmly, embedded in
i mother earth, were torn Upnnd carried many
rods. Old logs which had' lain upon the
ground for years, were disturbed and torn
from their resting places, Tho air was lite
rally filled with fence rails, limbi of trees,
boards, rafters, shingles, &c., which were lift
ed to an immense height. The course Of the
whirlwind was in a nearly east direction,
ranging from twenty rods to half aVnile in
width and making a clean sweep as iKwent.
In some place's even the culverts acres* the
roads were torn up by the tornado, nndNhe
roads generally are filled up with a promra*
cuouS assortment of timber dbd rubbish of
all kinds. An eye witness says that the
whirlwind presented the most singular ap
pea ranee. He says the wind would rise in
un immense whirl, drawing up mils,iifnba' oT
trees, boards, leaves, dirt, dfcc., to a great
height, when'suddenly it would deem to drop
again on the earth, jand feed itself with a neW

HENRjf WILSON of Massachusetts was
appointed Chairman, ind H. M, McAbek of
o|jio chosen Secretarji.
tireal unanimity of feeling was expressed
and a determination 'manifested to appeal
frOm the Council to tije people in behalf of
right principles.
The following Adlress was submitted,
sighed by the delegates' present and ordered
published to the Natioii:
APPEAL TO TflE PEOPLE.
... v'i
To the People of the Vnitef Statu:
The undersigned, citizens of various Stales,
assembled at Philadelphia on (he I4ih day of
Juoe, 1855, feel constrained under (he exist
ing state of affairs to affirm (he following
principles :
First —The unconditional resolution of
that lime-dtonored Compromise, Known as tha
Missouri Prohibition, which was destroyed in
utter disregard of the popular will—a wrong
which no lapse of lime can palliate, and no
plea for its continuance can justify. And
that we will use all constitutional means to
maintain the positive guarantee of that com
pact, until the object for which it was enac
ted has been consummated by the admission
of Knnsas and Nebraska as Free Slates.
Second —That the rights of the settlers in
Territories lo the free and undisturbed exer
cise of the elective franchise guaranteed to
them by the laws under which they are or
ganized, should be promptly protected by the
National Executtvo whenever violated or
threatened. And that we cannot conscienti
ously act with those who will not aid us in
the correction of these National wrongs ana
who will nol even permit their fair considera
tion and their full discussion.
Third —We further declare our continued
and unalterable determination lo use all hon
orable efforts to secure such a modification
of the Naturalization laws, aided by such an
elevation of public sentiment as will preserve
the true interests of the Nation, and will
guarantee the three vital principles oi a Re
publican Government: .SPIRI TUAL FREE
DOM, A FREE BIBLE and Free Schools
—thereby promoting the great work of
Americanizing America.
Fourth —That we invoke the arm of leg
islation toiirrost that growing evil, the depor
tation by foreign authorities of paupers and
convicts to our shores ; and that, as our Na
tional Constitution requires iho Chief Execu
tive of our country lo be of native birth, we
deem it equally necessary and important that
our Diplomatic Representatives abroad should
also possess no foreign prejudices to bias their
judgement or to influence their official ac
tion.
The Delegates from Pennsylvania and
New. Jersey will also present a Northern
Platform. Not a Stale north of Mason una
Dixon’s line represented here, save perhaps
New-York, will submit to the Platform adop
ted by the Council.
The Council opened regularly this morn
ing, but not a Northern delegate was present.
Nothins’ «'ns done of importance, save to
removi ne injunction of secrecv from ihe
more important proceedings. The papers of
this city now venture to lei their readers know
what is going on in their midst.
Tho pronuncinmento of the Pennsylvania
and New-Jersey delegation is substantially the
same ns the above.
Before adjourning, the meeting of Northern
delegates appointed a Committee of Corres
pondence that future united action might be
had through their hands until a more settled
organization representing their views should
be established. This Committee consist of
Goodlove S. Orth of Indiana, Gov. Gardner
of Massachusetts, A. McKay of Ohio, Moses
A. McNoughton of Michigan, ‘W. W. Dan
nebowoi of Illinois, Stephen B. Sherman of
New-Hampshire, Joseph H. Barrett of Ver
mont, B. D. Peck of Maine, Com. Laugh
bridge of lowa, Jacob C. Knight of Rhode
Island, N. D. Sperry of Connecticut.
While the ultra South have been happy in
Ihe triumph they have won for Slavery,
though everything else be ruined, and are
■relieved at the departure of the Northern
.members, the “Boohoos” are in agony.— |
The Union lowers before iheir eyes, and with
tears streaming adown their cheeks, they ex- 1
claim, “All is “lost” —of their expected |
offices. it
But one or two delegates from the Fred
State Who remained here to-day declined 16
sign the address. Several: Stales are but
partially represented. The unanimity ismosl
happy, and it is the first time the North has
been found together foii;" Freedom above
Party.
The Massachusetts and Maine delegates
mostly stkirted for home 10-day, and the
Northern and members generally— _
the.ir occupation here being gone—are rapid
ly leaving for their respective const itaentes,
to Jie greeted, no one doubts, with th'e warm
est manifestations tjppfobplion amj ap
plause. ’ r

The- following was Adopted —Yeas 80;
Nays, 59.
Resolttd, That the American parly, har.
ing. risen upon the ruins and in spite of the
opposiiion of the Whig and Democratic par.
lies, cannot be held in any manner responsi
ble for the obnoxious acts and violated pledge*
of either; that the systematic agitation of ibs
Slavery question by (hose parlies has eleva
ted seclipnal hostility mto a positive element
of political power, and brought our institu
tions inti peril. It has therefore become the
imperative duty of the American-party to in
terpose, for the purpose of giving peace to
the country and perpetuity to tbe Union ; that
as experience has shown it is impossible to
reconcile opinions so extreme as those which
separate the disputants, and as there can be
no dishonor in submitiing'to (he laws, ih*
National Council has deemed it the best guar
antee of common justice and of future peace
10 abide by ana maintain the existing law*
upon the subject of Slavery, as a nnal ana
conclusive settlement of that subject in spirit
and in substance.
j ResoCied, That regarding it as the highest
, duty to awow these opinions upon a subiect

I it is hereby declared as the sense oi mis Na

COMMUSiICiTIO\S.
Mr. Agitator —lt is not unfreouenilv that
we see nnmduals, endeavoring to create no
toriety bv assailing the character ot others.
Not believing in ihe oid proverb, “Plufck the
beam out ot thine own eve, ifec,” 'hev snare
no pains in' order to nrtect the character of
their superiors by keeping up a shower of
malicious snttibs, through the medium of the
Press. Such appears to be 'be case with
Mr. Rutland, Ihe eloquent correspondent of
the Eag/e. For a considerable 'eng'h af
time, for some cause, he has uecn 'down'’
unon-ihe Hon. David Wilmot “'ike a thousand
of brick,'’ but all his sharp shooting, hasn t
amdhnted to anv particular sum. 'Jn read
ing a few of the first lines of his article of
June 7th, 1 imagined ihe subject of ihe nu
merous taxations on ms 'ertile brain, sad
oeen guilty of some heinous crime or flagrant
misdemeanor. In several articles he has ex
hausted an unknown quantity of eloquence,
in order to r enoer Vlr. Wilmot unnopufar.
but after all his maledictions we find that Mr r
Wilmot has onlv been guilty of addresamtf
the freemen ot his district against '.he usur
pations ot' lie Slave Oligarchy. That he
nas dared raise ms voice against Ihe abroga
tion of (he Missouri Compromise and the pre
sent pro-slavery administration. That he
has had the base effrontery to state nuniiclv
that Human Slavery is an evil. ! for one
cannot see why a man * tongue should be
bridled because he holds the office of Judge,
A man is a man, either in public or nn
vate life, ana ns a man can’t he consistent
ly spook his sentiments, be they ( either, poli
tical or religious, if Mr. Wilmot was a new
convert on the Slavery question perhaps hu
conduct might be questioned, but as ho al
ways has been a firm opposer to the exten
sion of the “Peculiar Institution,” it is not
only his privilege but his duty to avow bis
principles.
Bui after all his fuss, Rutland fails to show
where lha object of his fury has been guilty
of any moral or political crimes, but his soar
ing with the muses is freouent. and ever and
anon he astonished his readers with tremen
dous outbursts of eloquence. 1 wilt make
one quotation which will serve as an illustra
tion.' Hear him. "They knert his vaunt
ing, but purely selfish ambition, they know
bis deep hates and strong prejudices, they
knew (hot while he was physically a coward,
he had about him all the elements of a ty
rant.” Again: “That solution will send him
back to private life and there to mourn over’
the wreck of ambitious hopes and plans.”
Such is the language the Eagle't corres
pondent applies to ihe man, so universally
respected in thisdisfrict/and I’ve no doubt he
will have some difficulty in making the mas
ses appreciate the force of his arguments.
In conclusion I would say to Mr. RutJandJ*"
keep up the palrioiic war, you have so enijN
gelically commenced against the truest Rep
resentative Pennsylvania ever had j atflH've
no doubt but the ‘'b/usKidg' honors'' you will
bear away will be' sufficient to everwhbtni you.
