From the PilUburgh Gazette. TIJC Union of tile Oppoiition Kle- menu. in our lasi issue we promised to show how the sincere opponents of slavery aggression in the American ranks, and ihe Republicans, can ad together in the nest Presideolial; con test. We proceed now to redeem that prom j.e. There are two classes of Know Nothings in the North. One class we will denomi nate, for- the sake of precision, National Americans, which includes the Hindoo pnny in New York under the lead of Brooks, Bar ker and the Albany Register, The other class we will call Liberal Americans, which is represented by Spooner, Ford and Gris wold of Ohio, VVilmot of this State, and olher leading men. This class embraces at least three-lnurihs of ihe Americans in Western end Northern Pennsylvania, in Ohio and oilier western Slates, and in New England. W e look unon the platform adopted at Cincinnati, as the expression of the views of the Northern National Americans. It is an attempt to unite the Northern and Southern Know Nothings into one National parly, and like all such attempts it will fail of satisfying any body. It cK.es not satisfy the Liberal American's, because it retains the proscription and secrecv of Ibo organization, and yields the quest ton of opposition to more slave Slates, unless they are formed out of territory from which slavery was excluded by the Missouri Compromise. It will not satisfy the South, anil ihefe is not the slightest reason to sup pose that 'I will be agreed to by the National Convention. The National Know Nothings of New York will go with the South in sup port of the majority platform adopted at Philadelphia. Thus this effort will be abor tive and please nobody, except that class of Northern men who are willing to go to the •extreme point of conciliation for the sohe of ■the offices, and these will most probably be found going with the South on any platform it may adopt. The minority platform presented at Cincin nolt bv Mr. Spuoncr, represents the views ami feel'ngs of the Liberal Americans. Ii i.ppnses prosonniion on account of birih and creed, and realhnns 1 lie principle declared h\ me unanimous vote ol the Fathers of the Republic, that ‘'Slavery or involuntary ser vitude is inconsistent wilh the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty,” and that therefore slavery should be excluded from National' Temtory, and the just influence of ihe-Naiion.il Government be exerted on the side of freedom. It also recommends the abolishment of secrecy, and a cordial co-op eralion with all who are ready to unite wilh them in defence of constitutional freedom against unconstitutional aggression. This platform presents a broad and fair ground of concihaMon and co-operation, and we have no hcstlalion tn saying (hat we are ready, as n Republican, to act in (Concert (i hough noi 10 he merged.) with suchja liberalized Amer ican party, in opposing ihe Democratic pro slaverv Administration and organization, and wo h ive no doubt that the Republican party ns a whole would pan wilh us in such action. Without nbandonina our organization, or ...Usn-L...,, , h . -r mreintn-cvi plailorm. we could consislenlly and cordially act with men who stand on such a platform, and who make resistance to slavery exten sion ihe paramount queslion. More. then, is ground on which ihe true opponents of the extension of Slavery can cordially agree to act in.concerl in the Presi dential contest, and in the elections which precede i; We present it ns a peace meas ure. The Americans of this country and lliis region have avowed themselves to be op posed to Ihe further extension of slavery in the strongest language, and have declared that lheir chief and parmount object was to prevent such extension. Wo would fain be lieve Itiai they generally acquiesce in the platform of Mr, Spooner, which is the ex pression of ihe Liberal Americans of Ohio. If so, ihere is no difficulty in a cordial union of action between them and the Republican parly, each maintaining for the time being their distinctive organization and principles. W e see no rmde of union between the ele ments of the opposition but this. Unless Ibis is agreed to, there will undoubtedly be three candidates in the field, and the Repub lican pariv, embodying the real Anti-Nebras ka sentiment 01 the country, will have no reason to fear an appeal to the people. Buttle in Asia— Russians Defeated A telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris, announcing that Omer Pasha de iealed the Russians on the slh of November. Omer had lefi the Ingour, and taken the di rection of Kuiais. The Russians were 20,000 strong, and suffered considerable loss. The battle lasted five hours. Omer forced the Ingour at four different points in face of the enemy. [We have no further details of this battle, but presume the 20,000 Russians were part of the armv of Circassia, and that the action was fought at about the distance of sixty miles from iho eastern seaboard of the Black Sen.] Latest accounts prior to the report of this ba'lle staled that Omer had established him self about thirty leagues in the interior, and was preparing tn go into Win'er quarters.— A Trebizond letter, of Nov. 1, mentions that the Russians were then preparing to raise the siege of Kars, and had already sent the greater part of their baggage "to Alexandra pol. It was also rumored, but doubtfully, that they had evacuated Kuiais, and retired on Tiflis. Omer expected to reach Kuiais about the sth November. Letters of 291 h October stated that there-were no Russian regular troops in that direction, although 10,000 ■Georgians were marching to oppose the Tur kish advance. Gen. Williams has traced out a new line of intrenchments at Kars. Persia has been applied to by the Allies to allow a passage through her territories for ah-Anglo-Indian array to cooperate in Asiatic Turkey.

The choicest of fugitive pieces may ho found in the Mirror; but the Colonel has been ini. posed upon this once, certainly.

We often used lo wonder if the burying grounds were not intended lo frighten people into be. ing good, by rendering death as repulsive as a tree less, flowerlcss, weedy and briery waste could make it. Lot Death be stripped of Us imaginary terrors, and thus inspire hope and lailli in tho bosoms of tho little children, in tho place of that undefined dread which 100 often embitters a miserable lifetime. And therefore let us brush up the old Ground on the hill, so that if may no longer look so much like a City of Desolation. What IS an Abolitionist? Once, and once only we stood by and saw a being in God’s image, a max, sold at auction; put upas iho last chattel on the estate of a rich man, and knocked off like any other chattel—like a horse, or a dog—to Iho highest bidder. The blood-money was told down instanler, und the human chattel passed into the hands of his new master us passive ly as a brute. The Idea of Slavery had never put on tho garb of the Actual in our view, till then. Bred up to con sider the negro tit only for a slate of servile depend ence, and to despise above all other things that much lalked-aboul but lillle.understood individual, the ab olitionist, our eyes were sealed against the admis sion of common evidence. An abolitionist was to us a mythical member of tho body politic—a verita ble Brobdinag of Fanaticism and Treason. 11c ex isted in fancy as a n bloody-murdei” image, and we glanced forward to the Yankee boy’s golden year— the year when he assumes the freeman's high privi lege—ns to a time when one more vole should be recorded against Rum and Abolition. Before that golden year came round, the little in cident above related, occurred, and in the short space of a month thereafter—a month of serious thought and research —we came to look forward to a majori ty as a lime when wo should bo privileged to poll a vole against Ram and Slavery. Thus the vanity of all previous calculations was made manifest, and wo found, ourself propounding tho interesting self-cate chlsm at tho bead of this article. “Them art one I’’ gruffly responded Hunkerism. You who sneer at abolition! els; who speak of them only to rcvilo; who think of tliem but ns a set of ruthless fanatics—go to the slave market- On this hand you shall see women and children huddled together like sheep in the close pen of the shearer. Some old and repulsive, others young, and almost as fair as your own mother or sister. On that hand you shall see men, in God’s image, strong, athletic men; men with grey hair and bent shoulders— crowded together, all gazing at you like so many or. cn waiting in the cattle market of a great city.— Should yon look more closely you shall see that some of these women appear anxious and careworn; such have a husband, a father, a mother, or. some little ones in the group. Yoo shall see that those men are not wholly unconcerned ; there are flashing eyes and bosoms that heave with more than common emo tion. Non there is a stir in the crowd. That man in a a jockey cap and coal and so business-like withal, is the auctioneer. He docan't cry off old chairs and tables and kitchen furniture, not he. Nothing less than God's most perfect work—a reflex of himself, will do for this man!s garrulous longue. He can take in all the good points of a man or woman at a glance. He can tell you just how much a professing Christian, or a (black) Gospel minister is worth, to a dollar. If he is pretty black and can exhort, or preach pretty well, be is a great bargain. Let him be eery pious and a preacher of submission to the “powers that bo,” and he is invaluable. Thie trader in men and women has learned that (be best Chris* THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.

He has Been there before and remembers the lesson. Yon observe that be is only about three-fourths white,fastidious sir, so he may be said to have not more than three-fourths of a soul, mathematically speaking. See that elderly gentleman in a while cravat, now examining the "chattel” with the air 01 a connoisseur. You hare seen a horse-jockey look in the mouth of the horse he was ‘dickering 1 for—does this remind you of that? The man in the while cravat is looking to see if those teeth can crack a peck of corn u week. Eve ry Umb is scrutinized and every joint pinched and twisted In order to detect any unsoundness that may exist The lungs are tested 100, lest a gallopping consumption should gallop off with a cool thousand. Several purchasers examine the “chattel 1 * and find him, in the language of the crier—“A sound, clean limbed, healthy boy ; teeth good, lungs excellent, kind, handy and a devout Methodist /” The white cravat looks a little dingy at this. He is a minister of that Gospel which the angels heralded as “Good tidings of great joy which should be -to ALL peo ple.** But ho is a Baptist minister, and don’t like Armenian slaves. Ho will not, therefore, buy him; so the "Methodist chattel” passes into the hands of a less scrupulous parishioner. Now he will put up some "fancy ware" —a yonng g’irl—siy 16 years old, not more. She mounts the block slowly and actually blushes! Strangely enough for a negro, she has light brown hair, blue grey eyes, and is almost as white as your own daughter. A little sunbrowned, good sir, nothing more. Lift the brown hair from the bare shoulders and you will sec that tho skin is as fair as an infant’s. “Going to s ell ura!” Certainly, sir! "Rat ehe is t chile!" ' Beg pardon, sir; her father is while, but her mother in a slave, and the child inherits her mother’s for tune, and is soon to inherit that mother’s fate. That girl is not a field hand—she will wear fine clothes, and jewelry enough to purchase half the wild land 1 lin Tioga county. She will have a fine house und j carriage und servants of her own.

Lest sonic squeamish Abolitionist should lifl up his voice in denunciation of this apparent outrage, wc can assure all, that far a father to sell his daugh ter is not so great an outrage after all. The Cir. cassian savages, who ere most devout heathens, have practiced selling their daughters to the Ottomans, extensively, in time past. Indeed, they realize very consideraolo sums from the traffic. The father of a dozen daughters there, must be deemed a fortun ate man. Boys are nul so profitable there. The same is true at the South. That boy just sold fot 31000. The girl sold for $3OOO. Now wasn’t that a pretty little speculation otfa little girl 7 What do you think of selling women, good friend 7 Reader, pardon this seeming lightness in speaking of so grave a subject. Neither argument nor denun ciation can do all the work- — »■> ®—l A, r, — l .‘r uuuuv me perpetration or such outrages in the south —the sale of children by unnatural parents —we can assure them that wc have seen the documents and speak from a knowledge of the fact. The sate of individuals perfectly white, at the South, is by no means of seldom occurrence.. A system of concu binage exists, and always will exist in a slavcholding community. A class of ignorant bigots at the North, raise a terrible hue-and-cry if a while wom an is married to a colored man; but of tho slave holder who stocks his harem with yellow or sable beauties, and sells his children, they have nothing to say. He is truly a privileged member of communi ty. We pity such hypocrisy and despise the hypo crite. Amalgamation is just as much to be denoun | ced at the South as at the North. What is an abolitionist? Mr. Parrot of South j Carolina, in a laic speech made in Kansas, said it ■ was one who wished to meddle with Slavery in the | States where it is established. We do not seek to | meddle with the institution in the Slates, except at all times and in all proper places to denounce it as a great, mocking lie, and a shame to America. We j claim no right for Congress to abolish Slavery in any Southern Slate. Let the South keep it and be cursed. But when it is proposed to extend the curse info free territory—into New-Mexico or into Ne braska—it is the duty of every man firmly to resist it, "peacahly if ho can, forcibly if be must." The Wihnut Proviso is the one important measure upon which the free North must insist. That, only can send the monster of Slavery howling back to its den. That, alone, can protect free soil from Uie blight of Human Bondage. This is Abolitionism j is there any fanaticism ab out it ? Congress assembled on Monday, but not much be side caucusing has been done yet. There will be a close strife for Speaker of the House, but the anti administration men have a large majority and must succeed if they unite. The coming session will be the stormiest the country ever saw. First, the con. test between Reeder and Whitfield— both claiming scats as delegates from Kansas. This matter will determine who has backbone and who has nothing but gristle. Reeder was elected by the citizens of Kansas. Whitfield, by tbo rowdies of Missouri Whitfield was elected on a day fixed by a Legists turo composed of Missourians. Reeder was elected on a day fixed by the citizens of Konsas, and recoiv ed a much larger vole than Whitfield did. There seems (o be but one side tol the matter. If Whit field should be admitted over Reeder, it will be a tri nmph of a ruffian mob over the people of Kansas. This Congressional district is for Reeder, first, last and forever. Its representative will not disappoint his constituents, who look fo| a stiff backbone in his action in the matter. Secondly—Tlie Free State men of Konsaa will present themselves with a free constitution, asking admission for Kansas into the Union. The atten tion of the whole country will be drawn upon Con gress during the pendency of this matter. There will be such a contest as there never was in those halls before. The result is beyond human ken. Those who wish to keep posted op inCongress ional doings, can do so by joining the club for the weekly Tribune now being formed at Ibis office. Only a dollar a year.

Tyler, came lo this village nmJ opened a Select School. He was evidently “hurt! up,” presenting a forlorn nppearance, as Ihough just escaped from ihe Poor-House, mid ns he staled that Ids trunks had been lost or stolen, he excited the pity of those whose pmronnge he su'icited. He exhibited real or forged papers of recommendation, to iho effect that he had been n member of the State Normal School, and had nlso passed two years at Union College. His School was composed mostly of small children, to the number of lorly or fifty, and he engaged as an Assistant Tea-her a young lady of this village. The Term was-to close to-day.— On Wednesday afternoon he gave his As sistant, bills against the parents of his pu pils, to the amount of nearly thiny dollars, and left town the same evening. Yesterday an effort was made lo collect said hills, when it was found that ho had previously received his pay therein, in every instance, us is be lieved from receipts shown and statements made. Tyler was apparently about twenty-one nap— tall and Quite slim—liuhj complexion, and the ruoiments ol a beard were visible upon his lip and chin. The scoundrel will doubtless impose upon some other community, nnd we give him the bene fit of a gratuitous notice. He formerly lived in Meriden, Ct., nnd also in Warren, Pa. — He looked like a “greeny,” but it is beyond dispute that he had -‘cut his eye-teeth,” in acquiring a knowledge of rascality.— Corn ing Journal. Shocking Homicide. —Our ci'y was Ihe scene on Monday night of a must distressing afTruy, resulting in ihn ioss of life; ihe the par ncularsof which, ns fur as we can learn them, areas follows: Several persons nmong whom wrs a man named Dorsn, on of the day po liece of the Sixth ward, applied fur admission lo a bouse of bad repule silutled on ibe north east corner of John and Eight streets, about 2 o’clock A. M. They were refused admis sion and thereupon became boisterous, and fi nally made an attack upon the houe with bri cks and stones. A young man named Lucius Coffin, who was asleep in the house at Ihe time, was arroused by tde dislurb mce and went lo ihe frounl windows, and requesied Ihe parties not to make a disturbance, Doran told him that he knew him, and asked him lo come down. Ceffin partially dressed himself and went down into the street, and commen ced a conversation with Doran, when Doran according (o the testimony at the. inquest, twice knocked him down. As he rose from the second fall, Coffin drew a pisiol and pro duced almost instantaneous death. The noise arroused ihe meighborhood, and previous 10 the silling of the corner’s jury the general mpression was that Doran had been cruelly, imnrderd. Since the testimony at the inquest however, public sentiment seems lo have un dergone a decided chanae, and the opinion is now general that Coffin will surrender him self lo Ihe authorities. Doran leavs a wife and two children lo lament his untimely end. Being a day watchman ho was noton duly at the iime.

Very Truly Yours, K. F. LORp. Kansas Free 'Slate Convention. The Convehiion of'Delegates which re cently assembled at Topeka, Kansas Terri tory, to form ia State Constitution and ask far admission as one of the sovereign States of this Confederacy, concluded its work on the raorning.of the 11 ■ h Jnst. The Consti tution, as a whole, has not yet come to hand, but the extended reports of our special cor respondent (the conclusiottof which will be found in another part of this morning’s Trib une) give a good idea of its general and more important features. The question of paramount interest, as our readers are well aware, was that of Slavery ; and we regret to say that the action of (he Convention on this subject was not exactly what the friends of impartial Freedom had a right to expect from a body of men elected for the avowed purpose of forming a Free State. After adopting a Bill of Rights, which declares that “Slavery shall not exist in this State,’’ the Convention not only recognize the exist ence of Slavery in the Territory, but permit its continuance till the 4 of July, 1857, thus exhibiting a striking disregard for the “self evident” Truth proclaimed by n very respect able body of men on the 4th of July, 1770 and a lender solicitude for the interests of the “Border Ruffians,” which the circumstances of the case seem hardly to have demanded at their hands. However, we shall heartily rejoice to see Kansas a Free Stale after July, 1857, if it cannot be made so before. It is very clear however, that the battle for Free dom is yet to be fought ihertr. Atchison, S'ringfellow & Co. will require a deal of very close watching. The facts appear 'o be that concern has not been without us representa tives in the Free S ate Convention, prominent among whom was the presiding officer of the body, Col. Jakes H. Lane, who proposed to continue Slavery five years, just lo con vince iho Quwie-knife and Revolver party that the Free Slate Convention was not com posed of a band uf Fanatics. Magnanimous Lane! An attempt on the part of Col. Lane and olitcrs like him lo induce the Convention to indorse the Squatter Sovereignty of the Knn sas-Ncbrnskn bill, under the pressure ol promises of reward nnd threats of political anttif ibition, came very near succeeding, and at one time, in a thin house' actually received a majority of the voles; but by the celcr ■ mined stand taken by Mr. Robinson and other friends of Freedom the vole was recon sidered and the dodge effectually killed. Among the provisions of the Constitution as finally adopted is one fixing the bounda ries of the State in accordance with those laid down in the Kansns-Nebraska Dill, ex- tending west to the summit of the Rocky Mountains.

Last evening two strangers named Will iam F. Stoddard and J. W, Lee, were arrest ed for passing counterfeit or spurious money. The circumstances as near as can be ascer tained, are ns follows : Stoddard arrived on Thursday and Lee on yesterday ; these gents passed several bills upon our citizens on the Easton and mher Banks. Lee was arrested at the instance of J. L. Mussina, who had suffered by his depredations. While in the act of passing another counterfeit upon J. W. Swartz, the arrest was made by constable Barelay between 9 and 10 o’clock, and some 8300.00 was found upon his person. Stod dard having been seen in his company, was traced to the Eagle Hotel and arrested by High Constable Kemp and Constable Barclay; and upon searching him, between 81,800 and 82.000 was found upon his person. Some important disclosures have transpired in con nexion with the arrests, which it is deemed best to keep secret at present for the public good. The parties are from the north.— Williamsport Press. At the'general election, in 1853, the total vole cast in California, was 76,434. Al Ihe Congressional eleclion in 1854, it amounted to 81,933, and at the recent election, it ran up to 97,054. This is a very rapid in crease. Sensible, The Easton Argus, a Democratic paper published at Easton, Pennsylvania, under the head of “nonsense,” says: “We no'ice that an effort is made in con' tain quarters to construe the late Democratic triumph in Pennsylvania into an endorsemel of the present National Adrrflnisiration, h must requiro a peculiar pair of spectacles to see any such meaning in the result, and we pronounce it pure, unadulterated nonsense. In this section of the State, where the largest majorities were given for the Democratic can. didales, no one thought of Mr. Pierce or his Administration, and on one cared the snap of a finger about either. The victory might with as much reason be claimed as an cp. dorsement of the course of Louis Nepoleon. It was Know-Nolbingismand the abominable “Jug Law” that disgusted the people app swelled the Democratic vote, it was » knowledge of the fact that the Democratic party is and always has been opposed to isms of every sort and grade—to fanaticism and tyrannical laws of every shade— that caused the great mass of the people to flock to its standard.
