Slaves in Kansas.— During the past six
months the stave population in this portion of
the Territory has greatly increased. Many
settlers from South Carolina, Virginia and
other Soulhern States have wisely brought
slaves with them, as’heing the most effectual
way of settling the question of Slavery in the
Territory, These are the kind ofsettlers we
need here now.
A Niue Game. —Old Bullion and bis sa
tellites, Bl.iir and Brown, are playing it out
pretty strong. They pretend to be for Bu-'
ehnoan, «hen in fact, they are his deadly
foes. If they succeed in dividing the Demo
cratic vote, in go the Know-Nothing Presi
dential electors,* and Missouri Is lost to Bu
chanan, This will bring that beautiful son
in-law of Old Bullion’s into the House, when
all the Black Republican’s and Know-Noth
ings will unite on him and make him Presi
dent.
Tuk Palmetto Rifles-28tb or Joke. —
The'memorable 2911 t having been decided
upon os ihe anniversary of the Palmetto Ri
fles, or Atchison, the day was duly celebra
ted by a parade and banquet.
At the head of the table hung the “ blood
red flag," with the Lone Star, and the motto
of •* Southern Rights’’ on Ihe one side, and
“ South Carolina’’ on the other. The same
flag that first floated on the rifle-pits of the
abolitionists at Lawrence, and on the hotel of
ihe some place, in triumph, now hung over
the heads of the noble soldiers who bore it so
bravely through that exditing War.
The fallowing are among the toasts drank :
3. Kansas—Our chosen home—stand by
her. Yes ! sons of the South, make her a
Stare State, or die in the attempt / [This
toast was received with loud and continued
applause.]
5. South Carolina —Our mother—she lives
in our hearts. While true to her, we know
she will be true to us.
6. Missouri-Our ally-nobly has she stood
by her younger sister. All hail to the gal
lant “ Bolder Ruffians.” We owe them one.
7. Gen. D. R. Atchison—Recognized by
South Carolina as one fit lo command—he
has but lo give the order, and, to a man, we
will basie
To the just and glorious strife.
With our knives, Southern Right shielding;
Nay, resign, if it mast he done, even life.
But die, at least unyielding.
10, The Hon. Preston S. Brooks-By whip
ping crazy Sumner, he has furnished ifco«ec
ond edition of what the Abolitionists call
Border RufHutuam^ 1 that is the de'ermioa
tlon of honorable minds lo resent injury and
insult from a mouth-piece of fanaticism, com
ing from what quarter it may.
11. Disunion—By secession, or otherwise
—a beacon of hope lo an oppressed people,
and the surest remedy for Southern wrongs.
[Enthusiastic cheers.]
The Squatter Sovereign—May it ever re
ceive a hearty support from that South whose
interests it has so warmly defended.
This sentiment was received with applause,
end after a few remarks to response from Col.
R. 8. Kelley, three cheers were given for
“the squatter sovereign.” In sitting down,
Col. Kelley offered the following:
The City of Atchison—May she, before
the close of the year ’57, be the capital of a
Southern Republic [Cheers.]
By S. B. Alexander :
Kansas—The Pro-Slavery parly will assert
-and maintain the supremacy of the while
race, or die in the attempt.
By Lieut, Grierson :
The Press—Unmuzzled, it breathes the air
of Freedom.
By Wallace Jackson:
Kansas—We will make her a Slave Slate,
or form a chain of lobked arms and hearts
together, and die in the attempt.
By Dr, G. T. Lary:
The Palmetto Flag—We brought it here In
honor, let us return it the same.
By W. H. Jenkins:
The Distribution Of the Public Lands—
One hundred and sixty acres lo every Pro-
Slavery settler, and lo every Abolitionist six
feet by two.
By Major E. L. Yates :
Sheriff Jones of Douglas County— A mar
tyr to Southern Rights; may he long survive
his attempted assassination, and may bis re
venge be, Kansas a Slave Slate.
Mr. Jenkins gave—
“ The health of D. R. Atchison, the Bor
der Ruffian Chief.” [Drank standing.]
(Kr Three river and harbor improvemqpl
bills have been passed over the veto of Pres-
idenl Pierce. Thus the Buchanan men are
I turning their backs on their internal improve
[ ment principles, as well as on the doctrine
of squatter sovereignty. So it goes. A Tew
years ago, they were all in favor of the Wil.
root proviso. Then, at the instance of James
Buchanan, his party in this State abandoned
the Wilmol proviso, and advocated the ex'en
sion of the Missouri Compromise line to the
Pacific Ocean. Then they discovered that the
Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional,
and went for its repeal j and no w they abandon
the principle which they offered as a justifica
tion for this repeal. No wonder all men of
principle abandon tuck a party,—Journal

this public well improved.
Bully Brooks challenged Mr, Burlingame, The
latter accepted; whereupon Bully backs down.
Dueling is hardly justifiable in any case; it was
not in this. No honorable man can have anything
lo do with Brooks, unless it begin with holding him
for some good, athletic negro lo cowhide, and end
with disgracing Ihe handiwork of some honest shoe
maker. The goodfolk of Kecncyville attempted lo
do partial justice to the notorious coward lost Fri.

in effigy. We would suggest an improvement—
hang him heels up. Murderers and, other -r* 11 -**-
bie gentry hang > urules, it hung at all,
shouldb'-n oy the heels.
Lying.
We think mythology is silent upon that point, bat
there mast have been a god of Lying among the
multitude of heathen deities. The worship, st lesyt
has been kept op from age to age, and is to-day the
only form of religious worship in vogne among cer
tain politicians. We refer lo the puppy-dogs, (we say
“poppy-dogs," rather than “ileDtbhaunds," oat of
respect for the canine race.) of the Slave power here
io the North. For never,since the estehlishmeol of
hnman Governments, has the God of Liars beeo so
well and faithfully served as he is being semd this
day by the leaders of the Border Ruffian Democra
cy—the minions of Buchanan and Fillmore.
Among the ten or twelve Border Ruffian papers
that come to os weekly, there seems to be a fierce
strife for the Liar’s hays. We mutter a great deal
of questionable English while glancing over their
columns, reeking ss (hey do with (he unmistakable
sulphor.stencb peculiar to (he garments oi the Fa
ther of Liars. And among these patrons of. the
twin saints—Ananias and Sapphira, we find certain
whilom friends and companions, whom we bad hop
ed to find in belter business than their patron saints
followed—lying awsy (be lands sat apart for free
men.
Our friends will bear witness that we have never
resorted to billingsgate In dealing with contempora
ries. While we have been assailed by very many,
coarsely and unmercifully, we have never found it
necessary to retort in like manner. But there are
certain terms more neatly eiprenlog the characters
of men and actions than others. Tims, Franklin
Pierce is a maudlin tyrant; Bully Brooks is a cow
ard; Arnold Douglsa is a liar; Senator Butler is a
conceited dotard. These terms are appropriate and
applicable—he who Uses them always holding him
self responsible for every word uttered.
Therefore,abould we use Karsh language toward
any contemporary in'ihis article, we beg him to re
member that we hold onnelf strictly responsible for
any and every word. We ate not quarrelsome, but
love peace and quiet above all conditions; but we
have no faith in the TrUmtu't plan for silencing po
litical Kars, that it, by opposing argument. Let ev
ery Republican editor make every lie promulgated
and persisted in by a hanker contemporary a per
sona) matter. Let him demand the prooffor every
(kite statement; and If that it denied, let the state
ment be branded as a lie, and the protxmlgator as a
iier and m csicard» ftt every wiltol liar la a coward.
In the midst of a column of teas palpablt false
hoods io a Border Ruffian sheet before us, and whoaa
editor as in acme respects one of the' most compete,
ionable men we ever met, we find snore so grossly
malicious that they ahoajd not bo passed over. It
sayst
“They (Die Republicans,) do prepare to mike the
State of Missouri their next battle-field and thus
drive slavery to the wall; the very words of Gerrilt
Smith in a late speech at Buffalo, the chief leader of
the New York Republicans.”
Gerrilt Smith is the' leader of the Radical Aboli
tionists, and la to-day the candidate of that party
for the Presidency, and is moreover, one of tit.mott
aoeempnmiiing enemies of Iho Republican or gold,
settee in tie North, This fact needs do attestation,
for nobody will deny it. The writer of the above
extract knows it; knew that he penned a wilful lie.

fhe editor alluded to says in relation to the nr
mated doe) between Burlingame end Bully Brooks,
“Bless your simple soul! Do you .suppose Bur
lingame dare fight 7 Why, there' is not sit aboil-,
liunist in the world who has courage enough to
.fight. The thing is morally impossible.” - -,,i
Before the paper in which the above appears was
issued, the (kot that Brooks had backed down at Mr.
Burlingame's terma-r i ‘so paces—rifles—near Clifl
on House, Canada”—an event which did not prove
the latter to be bravo, hot did prove Bully Brook* a
bellowing coward—was well known to the editor if
be takes the Tribune, which he used to do. The
paragraph, then, is a malicious lie. As to the ino
endo aimed at the courage of anti-slsvery men, it is
a coward's privilege to dreg everybody down to his
own level. He has too little spirit to print the truth
wbon it woold do belter than falsehood. Wiljjie
ever learn by experience whether tnli-sisvery men
will fight or not?
Lost that editor should feel flattered by so ranch
notice from a respectable quarter of the State, we
hasten to assure him that it ia the principle and not
the individual, which calls fur this extended notice.
Not that we recognize any difference between a Lie
and a liar, for we do not.
We would be glad to aee some of uur Republican
contemporaries forbear quoting Mr. Buchanan's teq
cent speech, as it is catted, os also the “drop of da.
mocratic blood” story. We have read the speech
referred to, and cheerfully testily Ihst such an in
terpretation is so far-fetched os to be ridiculous. It
is by no means founded either upon the 1 etter or
in the spirit of that speech. As for us, vypjcil) jmv-~
er enter the - wittingly,
rr onff'lie could defeat Mr.'Bachman, we would not
fellowship the man who should disgrace his manhood
by retailing that lie. If an adherence to the true
issue bring defeat, so be it; we shsll not in such an
improbable event owe anything to falsehood bat
eternal enmity.
If we understand the Republicans of Tioga coun
ty, they do not’ oppose Buchanan because lie baa
been s Federalist, or that be is said to have advoca
ted a redaction of the wages of labor, or that be
is thought at one lime to have contemplated the pos
sible presence of s drop of democratic blood in his
veins with horror; but they oppose him because be
is the open and avowed champion of Slavery exten
sion. He most, be teiU be defeated, not by lying,
but because he would assist to corse the Great West
with the most damnable of despotisme. Look on
that gray-haired man, tottering on the grave's brink,
and ask yaarself if it will be a Christian act to aid
that old man to curse his soul and insult posterity'.
Our brethren will do as they please—so shall we.
Some of them have nobly disdained to retail petty
slanders affecting Mr. Buchanan. On the other
hand, we have yet to see a pro-siavery Buchanan pa
per whose columns do not reek with wilful lies and
misrepresentations. We intend to call things and
men by their right names henceforward, even if it
do not in the least check the mendacious tide that
floats the harks of the Buchaocers.
We hive received Uie first number of • Buchan
an paper published at Towanda by D. M'Kiklet
Miaou. It is a neatly printed paper and is pro
slavery to the backbone. Here is a slave from tbe
pisiform of the Bradford Times :
. “We contend that we are Democrats in the tru
est sense of tbe term The doctrines upheld am)
carried out by Washington, Jefferson, Monroe and
Jackson, and which will be maintained by Bochin
an and Breckinridge,are.our code of prinqipist."
Well,well; Mr.M’Kinley Mason.will ofoonrae
proceed to the proofs .of bjs claim* to Jeffersonian
democracy. Il ls pleasant to learn that be will go
for restricting Slavery, tp its peesent Stale limits—,
which he must certainly do if h« accepts Washing-,
ton, Jefferson and. Monroe for hi*. politics! model*
Mr. Monroe lhp Missouri Con; promise and
thus, on his oath, most positively declared it, in his
judgment, constitutional- Mr- Buchanan just ,as
positively declares it to have been uncpbilitniional,
and (see C. plntlorro) wherever,

was floated, into that .enormity by the current
_in which be lay, ; as he, .will yet be into others
pf; a like character if]he should succeed In
ihe competition for, the Presidency. ,
If Mr. Buchanan popltfsee no harm in.seiz
ing .upon Cubfl for the protection of slavery,
it is nollikely.fbat lie will entertain nndscru
pies concerning the seizure of Kansas by the
slaveholders ,nnd (heir myimidons. for the
same purpose. . Rely upon it, that battle is to
go on as it htfs begun, unless slopped by the
defeat of the Cincinnati candidate,; there is
to be no, compromise .with the residents of. the
territory no slackening pf the persecution
by- which ibey are to. be driven out, that (heir
places may be supplied by the slave drivers
and Ibeir.gangs. If Mr. Buchanan]is elected,
the seal of approval will be set byjthe people
of the United Stales on all the fraud, all the
violence, alj the usurpation, all the burnings,
robberies and murders, the news of which,
for so many months, has been the melancholy
burden of the mails from, the JVest. He will
be as easily persuaded into a co-operation
with these atrocities as he was into the folly
of the Oiiend Manifesto.
.In making up their minds whether they
Are to support or to oppose Mr. Buchanan’s
nomination, the people of the Uniied State's
should carefully consider his behavior on the
occasion to which we refer. No part of his
life so completely illustrates his public char
acter, or t so fully gives us to understand what
we are to expect from him if be should be the
President of our confederacy. The Oatend
Manifesto was not an affair of haste; it was
not the fruit of a sudden impulse; it was de
termined upon after long deliberation ; it was
a step taken with a full knowledge of all Us
relations and consequences.
It was a maturely weighed proposal to our
Government to act the part of a pirate and
robber against a nation which was anxious to
preserve our good will, and .ready to settle its
difficulties with us on the fairest terms. Of
that character must we expect Mr. Buchan
an’s public measures to be if we see him in
the Excculivo.-C■ tat-lirrjKitaoinuy
Tiur pcrnaps ite wrong, but. they will be fee
ble, and they will be assuredly overcome by
the malignant influences by which he is en
vironed,'and from which he wants the form
of.character which is necessary to set 'him
self free.
■ V)e feel justified, therefore, in raising our
wipe. of warning against the support of Mr.
Buchaoan. After the Ostend Conference and
Manifesto his proper part is absolute silence
in regard to public affairs, and his proper
place absolute retirement.
From the Richmond Whig.
Of the disagreeables : thb fear is that Old
Buck can't be elected. Pennsylvania never
has had a President—and (hero seems to be
a fatality about her—and she never may.—
Old Buck owed his nomination partly to the
severity of the blows dealt by his friends
against the present administration, and partly
by the assault of Brooks on Sumner. This
assault seemed all at once to give to parties
a strictly sectional gha racier ; and there was
no one of the Democratic aspirants, who had
a fair chance of carrying a Northern State,
except Buchanan. His friends claimed Penn
sylvania as certain—the claim was allowed,
and with that stock in trade he beat his com
petitors. But Pennsylvania is the most doubt
ful State in the Union—and even with it,
Mr. Buchanan maybe a long ways from the
White House. However, when the Black
Republicans shall have entered their nag, we
shall be able to give a betier guess of i he result.
Ominous. —Four limes, say* the Louisville
Journal, the Democratic party have selected
a candidate for the Vice Presidency from
Kentucky, and each time particularly with
the view of carry ioglhe Slate for their ticket.
In ISStf.ftey nominated Richard IK. Jbhrisob,
to carry Kentucky, and they failed. ' In 1840,
they re-nominated tbe Tecumseh Killer, and
failed, hot only in Kentucky, but'almost
everywhere else. In 1848, they nominated
Gen. Wml O. Butter, and failed again to carry
Kentucky, or to elect their cohdidateS. In
1850, they have nominated John C. Brechin
ridge, and they will again fail most inglori
oiibly everywhere. Thus, upon the three
former occasions, when the Democratic party
have nominated 1 a candidate for Vice Presi
dent, specially with a view Of cariying the
Slate, they have failed lb doso. Twice but
of three' times-thfey have'been delealed
throughoutihe Unioh. and this time ir will
be aa it Was irr : ’4O and ’4B, for, where' Col.
Dick Jbhnson'and Gen, Butler failed, Breck
inridge will surely be overwhelmed.
. Gen. Lowrey, former private Secretary of
.|Go». Reeder, will shortly, take.the stump in
’Pennsylvania for Fremont. He. has ajways
been.a Democrat, and .voted for Pierce.
The Worcester' Palladium, heretofore one
of the most influential Democratic papers in

strength to the Conviction that thesis constant

metthat this repealing Act should be itself
repealed, or remedied by every just and con

■ I very much deprecate all sectional issues.
I'have not been in ihe past, nor shall Mm in.
the future, instrumental in fostering such is
sues. But the (repeal of Ihe Missouri' Com
promise, and ad a consequence the extension
of Slavery, are no issues raised by us; they
are issues forced upon us, and we act but in
self-defence when we repel them. That sec
tion of the country which presents these is
sues is responsible for them; and it is tbie
sectionalism which has subverted past com
promises, and oow seeks to force Slavery
into Kansas. In reference to other subjects
treated of in the resolutions of the Conven
tion, I find no general principle or rule of
political conduct to which-1 cannot and do
not yield a cordial assent.
But while thus expressing a general con
currence in the views of the Convention, (
cannot but remember thnt the Constitution
gives to the Vice-President little power in mat
ters of general legislslion ; that be has not
even a vote, except In special cases; and that
his rights and duties as prescribed in (bat in
strument are limited to presiding over the
Senate of the United Stales. Should (be
elected to that high office, it will be my pleas

as I can, the business of that body in snob a
manner as will best comport ■ with- its own
dignity, in strict accordance. with its own
rules, and with a just and courteous regard
to Ihe equal right* and privileges of aU it*

Accepting the nomination tendered through

A Blow for Free Kaaiai.
The champions of Free Kansas in the
House of Represetatives struck a noble blow
in her behalf when they voted'(o appropriate
money for the Military service of the ensuing
year only on condition that the Army shall
not be used to enforce the Border-Ruffian
usurpation. The pretended “ laws" of the
body which sat at Shawnee Mission and
styled itself a Territorial Legislature of
sas have no more rightful validity (ban those
of the British army which once captured
Washington City would have bad had that
army resolved itself into an American Con
gress, or elected one from its own body, end
thereby proceeded gravely to enact the roan
notation of the United Slates to Great Brit
ain. Whenever and wherever the friends of
Free Kansas have power, they will of course
treat those “ laws” as the impudent impos
ture and outrage (hey really are; where they
have partial or divided authority, (hey will do
the best they can.
We beg the Free-State Members of the
Mouse to follow up this 'well-aimed blow by
others. To the clause in the general or any
other Appropriation bill providing pay for
Shannon, Lecompte, Donaldson and the rest
of that crew, let other amendments be voted,
striking at other features or incidents of the
Border-Ruffian usurpation m Kansas. Let us
in every way expose and riddle the base false
hood now current in (he anti-Fremont jour
nals that the Senate wants to repeal the Bor •
der-RuJian laws in Kansas, but the House
refuses. The notorious truth is fhat (he Sen
ate oflers to repeal in part a few of the oh?
noxious enactments of Slringfellow & Co.,
hy a provision which assumes and establishes
the validity of all the rest. Instead of put
ting an end to the Missourian usurpation, this
Senate bill virtually affirms its validity. This
the House must resist, even at the cost of
being belied aod defamed aa they now are.
But give the Senate opportunity after oppor
tunity to repeal the Border-Ruffian laws;
and even lo repeal (be worst of them sepa
rately if that can be done without implying
the validity of the rest. Serve up the repeal
of those laws in every style, and let os sea
the Senate make faces thereat. IWDouglas
& Co., want to repeal the Border-Ruffian en.
aotments which his first Kansas Report this
Session said they couldn’t and wouldn’t re
peal,, let them have abundant and varied op
porlunities.—N. Y. Tribune.
