The Kanina War.
The Times special Correspondent tele-'
graphs ihe following from Lawrence, K. T.,
dnled 3 o’clock p. m. of the 21st insl:
■ 11 Yesierduy about 400 Free-State men, in
cluding 100 from Lane’s parly, attacked the
Kuffiatis' camp at Washington Creek, but the
cowards ran before wo got within a mile of
them. They were strongly fortified. They
left their provisions and we burned their fort.
We took two prisoners near by, who say
they about 80 men at 2 o’clock this
morning. Our camp marched toward Le
compinn, and at this moment I can distinctly
hear the booming of cannon. A large com
pany of Missourians are there, but victory is
sure. Dragoons don’t interfere. I hasten to
the scone ”
Sr. Locis, Tuesday, Aug. 19,1858.
The steamer Lucas arrived here 10-day,
and brings the intelligence that a party of
Southerners who left here two weeks ago for
Kansas were attacked while on their way
Irom Kansas City to Lecomplon by a large
body of Free-Soilers, when a desperate con-'
flici ensued. Many were killed and woun
ded tin boih sides. The Southerners were
finally compelled to yield, and were driven
Irom Ihe field.
Chicago, Wednesday August 20, 1856.
The St. Louis Democrat of yesterday con
tains a letter dated Kansas, the 14lh inst.,
concerning the affair at Franklin. It ap
pears ibal a large company of Missourians
and Carolinians, encamped at Washington
Creek, had been committing depredations
upon the farms of the Free-State settlers in
ihe vicinity, when they sent for assistance to
Lawrence. The people from there sent Mr.
I loy l, formerly of Massachusetts, Io the camp
of ihe Missourians and Carolinians, to ascer
tain the reason of their depredations.
Mr. ffoyl went to their damp unarmed, and
on the next day, the 12lh inst., was taken
prisoner bv them and shot. The Lawrence
men, immediately on hearing of this horrible
and murderous outrage upon a peaceable and
unarmed man, proceeded to ailack the forii
ficalion of Franklin, for Ihe purpose of se
curing arms to drive ihe encamped force out
of the Territory, but, sustaining considerable
toss in killed and wounded in the attack on
ihe fort, they were obliged to relurn to Law
rence without attacking the camp of Ihe Mis
sourians and Carolinians.

C LAtJi has Mb. Buchanan upon the Fbp.e
.States ! The Richmond Enquirer (chief
Buchanan organ in Virginia), is one of the
most, secnonui newspapers in the country,
and ii challenges its neighbors of The Rich
mond Whig “ to cite a single instance of a
“ dear and unequivocal struggle in which
Mr. Buchanan aid not espouse the interests
of the South. ’ The Enquirer sup pons
Mr. Ducnanan with all its heart, for the fol
lowing reasons only set forth :
“ Because he opposed the confirrnalion of
Edward Everett as Minister to Great Britain,
on account of his (Mr. E.’s) opinion that
Congress has power to abolish Slavery in
the District of Columbia.
“ Because he was an early, steadfast and
efficient friend of Texas annexation.
“ Because ho was an early, steadfast and
efficient foe of the VVilmot Proviso.
“ Because he promptly and heartily ap
proved of (he repeal of (be Missouri Com
promise and the doctrines of the Nebraska
bill, excluding the humbug of Popular Sov
ereignty.
“ Because he spontaneously, from impulse,
and deliberately from conviction, indorsed
and approved a platform which presents an
epitome of the rights of the South.” — Ken

Williamsport, Aug. 21, 1850.
The anti-Buchanan parly met in conven
tion last night, or rather the return Judges
under the Crawford county system,and placed
in nomination the following Ticket for Ly
coming countv ■
Congress—Hon. Jas. T. Hale, o( Centre Co.

Asso. Judges—Hon. John Smith of Wmspl, and
Elms P. Youngman of NippenoseTp.

Commissioner—Georgt Slate.
Prosecuting Att’y—(left to the Ex. Com. to make
nomination.)

Coroner—Jerome Konkle,
Auditor—Stephen Rogers.
The Executive Committee consists of—
L. G. Hiding, of Williamsport.
G. L. I. Painter, of Muncy.
James Wilson, of Jersey Shore.
There appears to be a good feeling between the
Fillmore and Fremont men here, and they seem san
guine of electing (heir ticket aa above nominated,
which has beep so formed as to give both wings a
fair representation.
Fkbxont is gaining ground in this county, and
there seems to be a strong disposition to unite on a
Ticket lor Electors. Yuafe &c.
Hon. James B. McKean, a Judge of Sara
toga county, N. V., who voted for Casa and
Pierce, made a speech (he other night, at
Saratoga Springs, in favor df Fremont and
Dayton. He could not stand “nigger driving
Democracy any longer.”
The Juniata Sentinel, Mifllimown, the
Whig and American organ of Juniata courtly,
was a little the sauciest Fillmore paper on
our exchange list. Last week, however, it
withdrew the Fillmore, and run up the
Frehont and Dayton flig 1
The statement that Gov. Pollock has de
clared for Fillmore is false.

Tile Club meeting of last Friday night was ad
dressed by several gentlemen from distant parts of
the coo nly, Messrs. Bowman, Wood and Strang
favored the audicncd with remarks noon tuple
of the day. Mr. R. C—reicr'followed in a stirring
spenoh .Wirdh' repeatedly brought down the house.
We apprehend that he look right hold of the ques
tion at the point most vulnerable; and ho handled it
well. Tile closing speech was by Mr. Williaton,
Ed. N. J. Standard—Dear Sir: Why do you,
who used to be a lover of truth and a f launch friend
of fuir play and a free fight, permit correspondents
to bark at the “empty hole” .about Fremont’s Cath
olicism 7 You know very well that there is not the
shadow of a foundation for t|io charge; apd know
ing it, why do you endorse the slander? You are
so placed that you can assist to preserve the integri
ty of your readers—why lead them to believe a lie ?
“Your reasons, Hal, your reasons." [Ed. Ao.
“The hunker press pursues a course of the most
“ desperate and reckless lying, ’’ said a gentleman
to os the other day.
That is true. As we staled a week or two since,
there seems to be a strife for. the liar’s palm. Lies
qf no possible utility are conked op by editors and
copied from sheet to sheet with hungry zeal. We
have had. the pleasure of choking two or three of
these mendacious villains with their own lies, Not
one denies the lie. One spews, out a little filth, bnt
acknowledges his mendacity. Another, alter tell
iug a lie and swearing to its truth, is as whist as a
mouse, under the lie. If lying cortld elect Buchan
an, there would bo no limit to bis majority.
Good Cheer!
Wo take np no paper Republican or Border-ruffian
which docs not, in some unmistakable language,
prophesy the triumph of the cause we advocate.
The desperate lying to which our opponents have
resorted is an unmistakable sign of trepidation and
panic ill-concealed. Sec how the Fi !1 more-organs,
the few that still remain, vie with each other for the
liar’s palm. See how they deny to Fremont; not
only a reputable parentage, but even an American
nativity. A Savannah paper, a Fillmore organ
says he waa born in that city. Another is certain
that he is a Canadian by birth. The New York
Exprnt with a sagacious mendacity, declares that
oor standard-bearer waa born in France; and it is
not improbable but that that unprecedented sheet
may discover and announce before many weeks, that
CoL Fremont is the veritable. Louis Napoleon la dis
guise, and (hat Jessie is not Jessie, but Eugenie—
whilom daughter of a Spanish grandee, and not the
daughter of “Old Bullion, ’’ as is generally suppos
ed among the unmitidted.
We,submit, that since the fact that Col. Fremont
was born and roared in (his country is not disputed
by any man with a of brains, thjs petty
lying sinks into unnaticable contempt But if flte
father of Silliness, Mr. Express Brooks, wishes to
pursue his investigations further, wp would, ingest
lhat he bo directed to ascertain the following impor
tant facts f'-
1. Whether such i person as John C. Fremont'
really exists: if so, did fu} have parents ?

column. The attendance was unusually large two
districts only being unrepresented.
We h»ve never seen a more intelligent appearing
body of men convened .in. thin,-or any other county.
A commendable degree of individual independence,
e somewhat rare quality in most Conventions, was
observable. The nominations seem judicious, both
individually and locally,
L- P. Wilustoh, nominee for Assembly, is well'
known to the Tioga public, and his ability to fill (he
station with credit Jo himself and with honor to tbe
judgment of his constituents, will not be qucsllfanbd.
His antecedents are whig, hut since '53 he has act
ed only, for Freedom, doing battle manfully on tjie
stump for (ree soil, free men, free speech,.free Kan
sas, Fsrhdiit dt Dayton. His nomination was re
ceived with applause. He must be elected.
Dr. Abel Hunniacr,nominee for Associate Judge,
formerly a very ardent democrat, bat now thorough,
ly emancipated from parly shackles, bears a good'
name for honesty and integrity, and wilt fill llic of
fice ably. He will be elected.
Dr. J. C, (Vhittakcs, of Elkland, nominee for 3d
Associate: Judge, is an original frce-soil whig, is a
man of unblemished integrity and capable of dis
charging the duties of the offioc creditably. Ho will
be elected. '
B. B. Strang, of Clymcr, nominee for District
Attorney, is a young lawyer of acknowledged abib
ily and will make an excellent officer. ”He Iras
been ao active member of the democratic party
voted for Pierce in '52, which mistake he has labor,
ed assiduously to atone for, for the past twq arid a
half years. He has done good Service for Frccdbm
and the freemen of Tioga will not forget hiin in
October, .
D. G., Stivsss, of Middle bury, nominee for Goi
Commissioner, has excellent qualifications for that
very important office, and wilt make a faithful pub.
tic servant. Ha is a democrat, snlcce dentally, «'nd
a jealous worker in tho Republican cause. Ho
mast be elected.
A. N. Donaldson, ijoqiineo 'for County Auditor,
possesses every requisite qualification ’(or itio' office
and will.discharge ili'duties 'creditably. He is a

I confidently affirm that of the nineteen-hun

do not support Fremont and Dayton.
I left Schenectady day befdre yesterday
(Monday) by Express train on the N. Y.
Central R. R. and, after thundering along for
about two hours, catching now and then, on
the way, a glimpse of a village, then a farm
house; then a piece of woods, (hen a river;
that seemed fiymg backward liken streak;
arrived safe and sound at this renowned city
of Otic*. The appearance of this city on en
lering H, is quite imposing. The ground on
which it is built gradually rises from the
Mohawk, along which the railroad runs, and
the eye can sweep along two principal streets
that meet at an angle of about forty degrees,
for quite a distance.
Away to the Sopib West, onquite an emi
nence, but not immediately visible on enter
ing, is the Insane Asylum, a huge and impo
sing structure, built of grey cut stone, with a
fine portico supported by massive columns.
The architectural proportions are perfect, and
as you approach it you are struck with
the mightiness and durability of the structure.
It looks a$ if built to last through all coming
time. Extensive and well but newly laid
out grounds slope away in front, inclosed by
a high fence and surrounded by thrifty trees.
—I started to take a stroll along one of the
walks, but changed my mind and turned back
in consequence of a peculiar gesture of a man
who sat looking out the office window. I
noticed in the oily three or fonr large WOolCtl
factories in full operation, it contains many
fine churches and other buildings, but is es-
pecially temarkable for Ihe number of its
hotels. From a single point I counted six or

without restriclion. In politics the people

Freedom.
. Yesterday I paid a visit lo the, far-famed
Trenton Falls, which is a series of falls on
West Canada creek, in this county, about
fourteen miles nprth ptUtica, nearly on ihe
line of the Black River and Utica R. R.
The fare from Utica lo Trenton Falls ts 75c,
—more than ,6c. per mile. It was a de
lightful ride. The track is new and in good
order, and ihe cars the cleanest, neatest and
pleasantest. I have ever seen. The scenery
along the road is the same as for miles around
—the land mostly well cultivated, dotted all
over with bouses, and barns; and dm surface
presenting one endless, succession of beauti
fully rounded hills and interjacent valleys,
the latter being sometimes spread out into a
little.pluin largo enough to fo/m the site of a
neat, white little village. J got off the train
at Trenton Station, and proceeded a mile op.
foot to Trenton village. This is a small, pic
turesque little village unbosomed among the
hills, and strongly Fretmoniish, Their pure,
free mountain air infuses health; and inspires
in their souls the same noble love of univer
sal liberty that William Tell imbibed among j
the wild pipipe scenery of Switzerland.
From this village I » footed it” across the
bills, which in this vicinity assume a more
abrupt, conical form, to the main object of
interest and wonder. Near the Fulls is a
large and richly furnished hotel kept by the
proprietor of the premises, a Mr. Moore, af
fording splendid accommodations for the
crowds of visitors that resort there during
the Summer months. After slopping a few
moments for rest, I proceeded alone lo the
Falls. A piece of woods lies along the bank
of the creek, and well beaten paths branch
off in in various directions lo good points of
view. The best way is to descend at once
to the bottom of the channel, and follow up
the stream. This descent is effected by aev
eral -flights of-stairs. At this place, as you
descend, you perceive nothing but a rooky
channel about, 1 should guess, 150 or 300
feet deep, with a rather small stream of water
rushing and foaming along over its rocky beef.
As you go along up the stream -your atten
tion-is divided between looking lo your foot- :
ing and wat citing,tbe wild antics of the water,
•Oilhat you will hardly think -to look much
ahead of you; and indeed the channel is so
crooked that,invnany .pieces the- rocky walls
seem to close together just above,pre»eming
ali further-progress. ...Suddenly you-are
aroused, by :a louder .roaring, and -lifting.your
eyps yon see the; white foam of a cataract.
Tho suddenaeas of lbeeppearance thrills you.
The fall is only about thirty feet high, and in
iself is not. lts .powerfully
pleasing effect is due mainly to the wild and
solitary. grandeur, of .-the place; Tbe sun
shone brightly as I stood admiring, and I no
ticed with peculiar pleasure the rainbow hues

three or four old hunker Democrats,—all in
the village—and found them trying to stuff
their confounded democratic lies down the
throat of an honest blacksmith who, I found,
was ait adopted citizen. The principal speak

of “ Julius Caesar Hannibal” he poured forth
his bombastic nonsense sans cesae, asserting
on his “ sacred reputation” and clinching IF

This drew their combined attack upon iae r

To keep up a show of consistency, these good
democrats defended Franklin Pierce’s policy
throughout, maintaining the legality of the
Bogus Legislature of Kansas, and endorsing
all the acts of this democratic administration'.
—And yet we are told that Buchanan and
his party do not favor slavery extension f

The Hon. Albert G. Bravo, United Slates
Senator from Mississippi, wpsooeof the com
mitten chosen by the Cincinnati Convention
to wait on Mr. Buchanan and apprise bint of
his nomination. Having done so, he reports
progress to his predecessor in the following
letter :
Wjjhinotob Citt, Wednesday June, 18,1856.
My Dm Sib : 1 congratulate you on
the nomination of your favorite candidate
for the Presidency.
If (he nomination of Mr. Budhaoan waa
acceptable to me at first, it is still mo re <6
now, since I ha»e seen him and hfeanf him
open k. The Committee, of which T was ode,
wailed on him at bis residence to give'hiia
formal and official notice of his nomination,
and in the name of the NationalDemocW
cy to request-big acceptance ©fit; We (bund
him open, frank, and wholly undisguised in
the expression of'his sentiments. Mr, Bii
chanan said, in-(he presence of all who had
assembled—and-they were from the North
and ihe South, the East and the West—that
he stood upon the Cincinnati Platform and
indorsed every part if it. He was explicit
in his iremarks on its Slavery features,say
ing that the Slavery issue was the absorb
ing element in the canvass. He recognized
to its fullest extent the overshadowiog'im
portence of that issuer and if elected, ho
would make it the great aim of his Admm.
titration to settle the question upon such
terms as should give peace and safety- to tho
Union, and security (olheSomh. He spoke
in terms of decided commendation- if- the
Kansas bill, and as pointedly depredated the
unworthy efforts of sectional agitation to get
up a national conflagration ot that question.
After the passage of the Compromise meas
ures of 1850, the Kansas- bill was, b&natd,
necessary to harmonize our legisiaiion. in ref
erence (o : the'Territories, and he expressed
-his ■ surprise that there should appeal 1 any
where on-organized Opposition to tha Kansas
bill, after the general acquiescence «hioh
the Whole countryhad expressed in the meas
ures Of’lBso. ’ '
’ After thus streaking of Kansas and the
Slavery issue, Mr. Buchanan passed to oflr
Ibteign policy',’ He approved in general
terms-of thedniHhnati resolution "bti life
eubjeit.' But'said that while enforcing otic
own policy, all times scrupulously
the just rights and proper policy Of
trtnfer nations. He was not opposed to Ton
rhorial extension. . All onr acquisitions had
been fairly and hbnprhbly ihade.' Our ne
cessities might require us to make'other ac
quisitions. He regarded the acquisition */
Cuba at eery desirable now, and it was
likely to 1 ' become a national necessity. —
Whenever we could obtain tpe Island on fair,
hotiorable terms, he was’ for taking ft. But,
he added, it #il| be a terrible peteisity that
