I from the Pittsburgh Gazette. TUc Raw t«g Man's ” Speech. , George VV. Julian, of Indiana, in the course of his remark?, on Friday night, reflected quite severely upon "Saji,” He rated that “ defunct or dying" individual for numerous shortcomings, and was probably injudicious in devoting so much time to that delicate subject, - . VYhen Mr. Julian took his seat, a large, qble-bodied, well dressed gentleman with a long nose, aqd a genuine Yankee countenance, mounted the stand, and an episode followed uaparalelled in fun. Our Yankee friend was evidently boiling over with a speech. He was etched. He was bound to make a speech. But his appearance—his gesticulation —was gertudicrous and original that the audience -Was convulsed with laughter. The gentle man was onnounced as Hon, David Ripley, of Now Jersey, with the toubriquel of “ the Saw Log Man." When order had been somewhat restored, Mr. .Ripley said he did not intend to speak to this 'ere convention. He hod been called out (wo or three limes, but he wasn’t a gain’ to speechify, because be hadn’t edikaiion enough. But when he heard the subject of Know Nothings he was bound to speak eout, and ho would speak eout! [Laughter, long end loud.) 1 tell you.

Now (Ripley paused to collect his thoughts—the audience splitting their sides all the whilej—now, I’ll tell you what we want to do. It's nil in a nut shell. So that we can get our Republican President elected, everybody, even that gray-headed colored man more, will be willing to take by tho hand Know Nothing*, Know Somethings or Know Anythings . (Laughter,i As I said to Horace Greeley ‘once,*when we was a talking about these Know Noth ing's and ne abused 'em pretty awful, too; soys i “ Friend Horace, have they done any good. “ Why, yes, 1 * says Horace. 11 Well, ihen,’’ says 1, “touch 'em light !’ (More convulsions., 41 Bui,’’ sava I, “ Elorace, if they do any thing ban ' Voice—Suck. it lo 'em .

CD* What has become of the Daily Newt I—Har burg Telegraph. ) Wc can inform you, gentlemen. It has gone ov er to Fillmore Sl Donclson and is now printed in Hindowlancc. The delectable little sheet is crazy with joy over Ihe K. N., nominations and should il be guilty of some little irregularities for a month or two it need not be wondered at. The President has asked an opproprialion of $3,- 000,000 for lire War department. Should it be pos sible to embroil this country in a wur with England during Ids Administration, such an event may be confidently expected. war with Mexico made him President once, a war witli England might pos sibly increase his chances for a re-election. There is no ground of apprehensions of war, however. Wc heartily agree with our Ucliuar friend that it is high time ihe Republicans were organizing for the fail campaign. We urged an organization last fall, when that campaign was ended. Our friend will learn that the process of political organization u one of the slowest and most difficult of manage mcnl in tho world, when, as with the Republican 1 party, the nucleus is a great princplc. The sham democratic party cun organize wiili much greater facility than can the Republican parly. Tho former appeals to the tower instinct* of men, while the lat ter addresses itself to his nobler nature —to his no blest attribute, Reason. Now, It happens that man | is generally more disposed to fuel than he is to rca-j son. It happens so because feeling Is an impulsive I faculty, and therefore in a degree involuntary,; while the procoKsof reason is essentially systematic j and therefore voluntary. Wo do not mean lo bo un- 1 derstood as underrating feeling, nor ns rating il with mere animal instinct. Rut the truo nobility of feeling is manifested only when it ensues upon and blends intimately with n reasoning process. To this order of feeling the great object of Republicanism addresses itself. There arc incidental rewards promised lo tho de mocratic faithful—office, perquisites and power. The Republican worker must consider these things as secondary considerations, never as primary, lie should behold his reward in universal freedom lo Mam and tn the consciousness of duty performed. Universal freedom may not prevail in sir generations. That should not deter nor dishearten tho earnest worker. The object of Life is not in place nor profit nor honor ; il is Dutv. But it is dilTicult to convince men of these things. And our friend, who is an earnest worker, will, when a few more years have passed with him, be less imoaticnl and unbending, yol love the glorious cause of Freedom just as well as he does to-day. The work of organization should begin now ; hut it needs a hundred earnest young men lo carry on the work in lids comity. Where aro they and who aro they ? That is Uio question. The cnininuulcalion sent shall have a place, per haps this week. It is a spirited article and pectin, cnl lo tho subject. The first days of March arcjiasl and still there is no abatement of winter cold. The snow lies in deep, unwasted heaps on the hills and in the valleys, and the sun, now getting high in the northern hcav. cos, slnnes with a December glare. Were it not that hope is deathless, some hearts we tear would consume with the intensity of their tanging for ver nal beauty. Ilut hope never dies. Whatever doubt may distract the soul of man concerning its immor. tality, it recognizes the existence and dcatblcssncss of Hope. It is a principle underlying, uplifting and sustaining the interior Man under all circumstances. It is “a divinity that stirs within us,” shaping our belter actions and thus moulding our destinies. The spirit of Ti utb glided the pen of the poet when ho wrote— “Hope springs eternal in the human breast 1” As "perfect love castelh out fear," so hope softens our forebodings and plucks the sling from niilicipa. ted ill. Heaven's promises arc most relied upon when they Ijoam calmly down upon the struggling soul through the medium of its Intuitions. When light fills upon our path, that moment tho divine principle, Hope, is awakened and illumed, Awak ened through any other medium, Hope ia an abor tion, a (ppekoning ol Desire., Tho world is ever misnaming its emotions.

We aronccus tomed to think and speak of the whites of the South only as the owners fif slaves, It giows out of tho fact that the s ave owners are the ruling class, and that vo seldom or never hear of the other and far urger class, scarce* ly less oppressed than their brothers of a darker hue. It is an abuse of language to call the slaveholders “ tho South. ” They constitute not more than one fifth of the white population of the South, hjow, then, it may be asked, do they wield such absolute power! Why do not the “poor whiles,” who own no slaves,assert their rights? The answer is found in the laws that enslave la bor. The constitutions and Legislative Acts of many of the Slave Slates vest the politi cal power iu tho hands of slaveholders. And where that is not expressly done, the absence of all free schools keeps iho common people so ignorant, dependent and degraded they neither know what their rights are, nor how to defend them. The result is, that six millions of whites nod four millions of blacks are in a state of political and personal dependance upon less than one million and a half of slave-owners. And such will be the results of that system wherever extended Free labor and slave labor cannot flourish together. Slave institutions will never tolerate free schools. The com mon people, therefore, no mailer ■ whether black or while, in a slave country must be ignorant, poor and debased. The question before our nation now, is not, therefore, merely whether slave labor shall bo permit ted to go, side by side, with free labor, into all the territories of the Untied States. But it is whether all labor shall be enslaved. It is whether free labor, free schools and all free institutions shall be forever excluded. To establish Shivery in Kansas is to abol ish Freedom. It is to shut up forever so much of (Jod’s free earth from tho light of free Schools free Bibles, free labor and free men. It is to decree that the darkness of heathenism that now hovers like the shadow of death upon the sunny plains of fifteen Suites of this Union, shall curse the whole remaining portion of our continent. It is to expel our brethren now already in Kansas from the homes they have chosen, or force them nnd their children after them, to he the companions nnd associates of slaves. Men of New Hampshire ! Will you be accessory to this gigantic conspiracy against your brethren, your country nniLyour race? Will you vole for the men who are wresting the Constitution nnd periling the very exist ence of our government, for tl c unholy pur pose of making nor land a land of darkness, heathenism nnd slavery ? If the American Revolution is not a myth—if the Declaration of Independence is not a he—if God, Truth, Justice nnd human Liberty arenot fables, consider these ihinas. D Our Boy-Pre§idcait. It is related of n worthy old lady who had two sons—James and John—that she possessed tho sin gular faculty oi becomiug suddenly and obstinately deaf under certain circumstances. John was her favorite. It sometimes fell out that the brothers forgot the injunction “brothers should dwell togeth. er in unity, 1 * as many a hard fought battle between them amply testified. The old dnmo was invariably and obstinately deaf during these fraternal encoun tors, when, as it generally turned out, John, the fa vorite was getting the belter of his antagonist. No matter how loudly James roared under the castiga tion for (he restoration of his invaded rights, tho mother ignored the existence of the squabble. At length on a memorable occasion, John succeeded in worsting his antagonist and was repaying him with compound interest. The fallen victor roared lustily for quarter, but, us may be imagined, roared in vain. James pummelled away industriously, when 10l mop-stick in baud and with eye flashing with terrl. ble indignation, the mother appeared upon the field. With one sweep of her weapon James was laid sprawling and with the mop-slick brandished over his head ready to descend on the slightest provoca. lion, she proceeded then and there to lecture him soundly for “knowing hi* rights, and knowing, dar ing to maintain.” The course of policy pursued by the National Ad. ministration towards tho actual settlers of Kansas, seems to us about equal in liberality und impartial justice to that of the good lady above referred to, in relation to the government of her family. So long as tho border ruffians, Ins favorites, were carrying matters with a high hand, perverting tho ballot-box from its legitimate uscsjshooling down men for opin. ion’s sake, lynching others who were at most merely suspected o( holding to the initial paragraph of the Declaration of Independence and-threatening with fire and sword all who should oppose their nefarious plottings against the peace of Freedom, President Pierce was deaf to every appeal for his Executive interpoMlion in behalf of Good,.Order. Up to the lime of submitting his annual Alessagclo Congress, he declared -that no cause lor Ilia interference exited. , Every man who read a lithe of the intelligence from that territory, knew that its settlers were enduring untold insult from Missouri ruffians. It was notori, ous that the Territory was invaded; that actual set tiers went to the polls and voted of their own free will at the risk of life ; that a Lcgi>lalure composed of the most desperate and abandoned characters up. on tho Missouri borders and elected in some eases by Missouri voles, in others merely appointed by that Legislature to fill the seals of legally elected members ejected beennso they were not sound on the question of barbarizing Kansas. All these tacts were as notoriously public ns Mr. Pierce’s dinary moral and political obliquity. He feigned obllvioumoß, bnt it was the obliviousncus of inter est, not of ignorance. But the President's Missouri compatriots, grown i bold and daring under this tacit dispcns.iliou of Ex. i eculivc clemency, or, in other terms, this winking j at their outrageous doings by the (supremo) head of • the Government, planned & destructive crusade j against (he pcacablo city of Lawrence. Recruits were beat up in the border counties of Missouri, bloodthirsty, whiskey-drinking recruits, and exten sive preparations for destroying that town were duly made. On the oilier hand, the people of Lawrence determined to defend their homes at all hazards. They entrenched themselves and with rifles in h.iqd calm’y awaited the coming of Mr. Pierce’s friends; but they, finding they had a determined enemy tn fight instead of a few unarmed and outmnbcrcd men, prudently turned their backs and made their way back to the less dangerous ground of Missouri. They were excellent soldiers when opposed at the rale of twenty to one unarmed man. They could ■hoot a single, unsuspecting man without the slight est risk of life or limb. But when it come tolling thot at, ahf that altered the ease. It was risky. Well, after tins un-Xenophinn retreat, Mr. Pierce’s border ruffian friends suddenly discovered signs of a rebellion against the Alclmison Regency in Kan sas. They appealed to their little fiiend at the While House for sympathy and aid. . He graciously condescended to hear their supplication. He all at once di-covcred Owl there was trouble in Kansas and lii.it it was his du‘y to interfere. He issues Ins proclamation and threatens to send Government troops to enforce obedience to border ruffian law*. He would see that persons in and out of the Terri tory preserved order and obeyed law. Ho nppre. bended that persons emigrating to that region had belter leave their rifles at home—which advice is or. idcnlly intended for Northern emigrants. John is getting a boating now, and James must beware of the mop-stick in the hands of dame Franklin. This proves Cicero's proportion that, “circumstances al-‘ ter eases.” What is the end to be ? Freedom is ignored in llic liigli.placce of the land. Her cry is unheard, or >•’ heard, disdained, while the pitiful whine of a pack of baffled cowards is taken lip and prolonged in an Executive howl. Alas !wo arc fallen upon evil times. A pretended Democratic Administration so crclly conniving at the increase of slavery and turn, ing a deaf ear to every plea for Freedom. Il is said that Mr. Pierce has purchased an estate in Virginia, to which he will retire when his coun try needs his valuable aid no longer. Wo hope he may do so ; then Virginia can boast of having bur ied on her soil, the least as well as the greatest man lhat America ever saw. “Courtship and Marriage ; or, the joy, and sorrows of A/neiican Life,” tly Mrs. Cahou.se Eke Heste, author of “Aunt Patty's Scrap Bag," “Linda,” etc. T.

The coming battle will be fought upon the issue of slavery-nationalization or freedom-nationalization. The issue has been forced upon us by the flagrant innovations of (he slave oligarchy upon the Conceded rights and privileges of the north. The north is fast becoming aroused to a 1 true sense of her danger. She has slum- l bered in dreamy, confiding inactivity and now awakes to find that LtmtnTV is Indy in a perilous condition. Her freemen are begin ning to learn that “ eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty,” and are now shaking from | their limbs the unpardonable lethargy that I has encased them for the last half century,] with the determination of presenting as for midable a front as possible to the black power in '5O. At the coming election there will be but two powerful political parlies ; the National Democratic and the Republican. The former will advocate slavery extension with those traitors to God and humnni'y, Pierce, Douglas, Atchison & Co. at its head. The latter will advocate slavery restriction and adopt for their motto, “no more slave territory” with those gallant champions of freedom and justice, Chase, Seward, Sumner, Wjlmol, &c,, as active, efficient, working members. The question of slavery will be the battle-ground. If pro-slavery democracy succeeds, Kansas and Nebraska will he given up to the “peculiar institution” with all its attendant ungodly principles.
