My attention lias been this moment called to the following article, which, it would seem made iis first appearance in a Democratic newspaper published in some one of the At lantic Stales, and recently re-published in the San Jose Tribune and other papers here. The Foote axd Fremoxt Difeculty.— The difficulty between Senators Foote and Fremont grew out of the circumstance that Foote charged Fremont, in the Senate, with seeking legislation in reference to the gold mines fur Uio sake of his own private advan luge, which Fremont pronounced false. Af terwards they met in the ante-chamber, when Fremont struck Foote and brought blood.— They were immediately separated by Senator Clark. Subsequently, Fremont addressed a note to Fno e, demanding a retraction of the language used by him in debate, to be signed in Hie presence o( witnesses, and a challenge wa- - Icf i.' lie reluscd, Mr. I'ujte declined to sign the paper, but nddreseu a note in reply to Fremont, disclaim ing any mieniion of giving any personal of fence in itio language used by him in debale. The. menus nf both parties considered this salislaciory in Fremont, but, at his instance the nine of Mr. Foote was submitted to Col. Denton, who consented to the arrangement. I have been requested by several gentlemen friendly to to the election of Col. J. C. Fre mont to I tie Presidency of the Union, to slate how far the account given in that article of the unloriunaie difficulty between Col. Fre mont anu myself, is true. 1 do, itieretore, declare that so far as the cause ol our misunderstanding is concerned, the difficulty relerred to is sufficiently accu rate but it is not true that Col. Fremont pro nounceu on the floor of the Senate anything which had fallen from me in the course of the debate to bo false. And, although it is true that he was dissatisfied with what I had said in opposition to his bill for the settlement of land titles in California, and requested n special personal interview with me on the subject, m the progress of which he used lan guage which I deemed it my duly to resent, and did resent, yel, it is not true that Colonel Fremont inflicted on that occasion the least personal indignity on me. The only blow struck was one, for whicli [am alone respon sible ; for before lie had lime lo return the blow received by himself, Senators Mangum and Clark intervened and separated us. Colonel l , ’remom's note lo mo afterwards, j was of rather an equivocal character. Ills | friend, the present Governor of New Jersey,! who was the hearer of it, assured me that it I was not designed as a challenge lo the field of honor; bui, supposing that it was at least possible I hat Air. Price was in error on his part, ! wrole lo Col. Fremont, that if my nole of explanation did not prove satisfactory, I should go without delay to the city of Balti more, and send him my acceptance from thence. At this stage of the affair friends in terposed, and the difficulty was settled, ns I have always considered, in a manner, credita ble lo both parties. 1 cannot close without the expression of my regret that any attempt should be made, in connection with this transaction, to hold Col. Fremont responsible for conduct calculated lo infringe upon the freedom of debate in the United Slates Senate. However opposed ns I yet am to the measure advocated by him for' the settlement of the land titles in California, and however much I am opposed to his elec tion to the Presidential office, I feel injustice bound lo declare that I have never been dis posed to complain seriously o( his conduct in the affiir referred to; and that there is nothing in it that should in the least degree lessen his claims to the respect and confidence of his political friends and his supporters. What is said in the article cited above my age, my gray hairs, Ax., is simply ridiculous, as I was in 1850, only forty-six years of ago, and am yet sufficiently hale and vigorous to defend my person and maintain rny rights and honor Bjjainst any assailant, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 1856.

Any person who may bo caught circulating the fraudulent ticket published below, representing it Ip be the Fremont Eeleclotol Ticket, may bo arrested and punished by fine and imprisonment, under $94 page 291, Pardon. It is a clear case of intentional fraud, by substitution of a spurious ticket for the genuine ticket. Mr. Mann, whose name is printed in that fraudulent ticket unauthorized!;, is now ly ing dangerously ill and cannot therefore act for him self in the nutter. As an intimate friend wo pro test against tins unlawful use of bis name, as it makes him a parly to the fraud—a position be would scorn to occupy ; and if the law can reach the abandoned men who may lend themselves to this piece of villainy, they shall have it lo the fullest ex tent. The Electoral ticket at the head of Ibis pa per, is the one made by the Slain Executive Com miltces of the Republican and North American par lies, and the only one. Let every Republican bo on the lookout for the men who offer any other ticket as the Fremont ticket. When you find him, jmt your finger on him - LOOK OUT FOR SPURIOUS TICKETS! The Philadelphia JVeios, Fillmoife, and the Penn, sylvanian, Buchanan, have each published a spuri ous Electoral ticket which they call the "unadulter ated Republican Electoral ticket." We give it here so that our friends can bo on their guard against it on election day. Hero is the spurious concern : Edward Crandall, John Y. Crawfurd, Ja cob C. Backofen, John Thomas Conrad Lie brich, J. Fletcher Budd, Charles Lennig, Ze nas Bliss, Wrn. D. H. Serrill, George Lear, Jacob Hoffman, Henry Frank, Charles C. Hacon, R. AI. Frick, Charles Miner, C. Fred. Siegert, H. N. McAllister, L. Meredith, D. A. Baehler, S. S. Blair , Robert Craig, Vir gil Elder, Russell Errell, John S. Mann, Jno. N. Purviance, Samuel Young, t-;<Wi o. Ball. We Jssure our Iriends everywhere that the lore going ticket is spurious. The Union Republican ticket nmter the editorial bead of lids paper, is the Fremont ticket, and the only Fremont Electoral ticket in the field. This spurious ticket first ap peared in the Philadelphia Ledger as an advertise ment. and is copied from the advertising Columns of Dial paper. John S. Mann and Charles Miner are not the men to permit their names to be used in any such-fraud. Their names have been used without their knowledge and consent. Every man who cir. eulatee that ticket makes himself a parly to Uio fraud, and should be dealt with. Every man should carefully compare his ticket with that lo be found at every election poll, beloro voting. We have published the Fremont, Buchanan and Fillmore Electoral tickets on a card, a copy of which may probably be found at the polls in every i election district. But the safer plan is to put (ho , Agitator in your pocket, and Uic ticket as published at its head will be sufficient for reference. Tlio first thing necessary, is to get year ticket ol some good Simon Pure Republican—one who is al ways careful. Beware of spurious tickets. There was on error in the Fremont Electoral Ticket as published last week. Instead of George Seidenatrickcr, read, Mahlon It. Dickinson. The sample cards were printed before the mistake was discovered. Again-we say, look out for spurious tickets. A few days must decide whether the infamous Administration of Franklin Pierce shall be extend* ed and perpetuated in the hands cf James Buchanan, or ended and redeemed by the election of John C. Fkkmont. Freemen, the official returns decide the clclion of the pro.slavery Stale ticket by about 2700 majority. That ticket stood upon a platform endorsing the Nebraska bill as a just and beneficent measure and it also unqualifiedly approved the Administration of Franklin Pierce 1 H.S. FOOTE. It has gone forth to the sister Stales that Penn, sylvanla endorses Uio Administration of Pierce and the Nebraska infamy ! It has likewise gone forth that the ever-glorious “Wihnot District” has repu diated Pierce and Douglas by a majority of nearly 8,000! 3510 2206 1214 Freemen, the eyes of the great and free North arc upon Tioga, Bradford and Susquehanna. The superior intelligence and manly independence of Us freemen arc acknowledged and honored throughout the land of free homes and free men. It depends upon you whether next Tuesday shall add new lus ter to the already brilliant fame of your District That majority of 2700 in favor of the pro-slavory Stale ticket was gained by tho basest fraud and treachery. The Fillmoreilcs united with the Buch. sneers against the Union Slate ticket wherever such a coalition was practicable. This is evident to any man who examines the returns, la tho strongest Fillmore counties will be found the largest pro alav. cry gains. This is evidence enough of a Fillmore and Buchanan coalition. Besides this, thousands of fraudulent voles were polled by,our enemies. Then let us remember that not only have wo to contend with the open and avowed friends of Slavery, but with the Fillmoreltes as well. 4104 3733 1087 2C4fl 7904 A.

His associates have kept on the same platform up to this hour. IVhigh is consistent and democratic 7 Let us sec: 1 The Cincinnati Platform expressly endorses the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, and declares that Congress has no right to prohibit Slavery in free territory. How docs that declaration agree with the resolution above quoted 7 Which is democratic 7 Freemen, each of ns knows which is democratic. We know instinctively that Slavery extension is not and can never be democratic doctrine, A party may advocate such monstrous doctrine, bat a democrat cannot; for the right to enslave ono.man includes tho right to enslave any roan, provided he bo Weak and unablo to defend himself. Color has nothing to do in determining that matter; it is. Might, andpnly Might which decides whether men shall be bought and sold 6r not. Tho laboring while men yrc as obnoxious to the cotton lords ol the South as are the negroes. It is caste that tho slave-breeders aim.lp establish Th»i- —•—” radciran -,ur laborers as an inferior close in society; and tills, in connection with the greed of riches, lies at foundation of tiro democratic institution of Slavery. For our homes and hearths; far the dear liberties which patriots died W secure ; for tho right to enjoy tho sweets of domestic bliss uninterrupted; for the spread of universal Frccdom ; for the sake of wash, ing the skirls of a great people of llie stain of their monster crime, and finally, for God and Humanity, let us strike NOW ! Imperiled Freedom bids as to stand firm. If Right triumphs now,then most of us will live to see America redeemed. If Wrong triumph its triumph will be short-lived and wo shall have tho soul-consciousness of duly performed to cheer us. As honest men this is reward enough. Posterity will bless us for trying to rend (ho shack, les from their limbs. The consequences of wrong doing are ever hitler and terrible, hut to do right is to win that better Peace which alone can compen sate for wrong suffered. Mr. A. V. Hofer, a Government Clork from Wash ington, addressed a meeting in the Court House on Monday evening. Present, 60 men and hoys, 15 or 20 of whom wore Fromonters. Mr. Hofar came to tell bis German friends how much better it is to have masters than it is to be free. He is not remarkable for anything but reckless assertions. H. Sherwood also addressed the meeting, and after abasing Fremont to his content, staled that the dem ocratic party would put up Arnold Douglas fur the Presidency in four years, and elect him. That is plain talk. Wc shall see whether ho is elected or not. What do freedom loving democrats say to it 7 We understand that Mr. Hofer stated that the fraudulent Electoral ticket which we publish (his week, is the genuine Fremont ticket. If Mr. Hofir or any other man asserts anything of the kind, wc charge that he is an unscrupulous liar, and have the proofs ready. Gentlemen, you make a trade of falsehood and you driijo it briskly ; hut thp people shall despise you thoroughly for it LOOK OUT FOR FLAMING HUNKER DOCUMENTS On the eve of election. Wc are well aware that doc uments and handbills circulated on the day of elec-, lion arc generally treated with merited contempt by intelligent men. But our friends will be on the look out for such trash. Those who scatter such inform ation'among voters havo no confidence in the good sense of the people. The “Northern tier” is slmast redeemed. Old Woync, whoso Democratic majorities used to range from 1000 to 1800, gives only 137 majority for Use slave-breeders. Yet the Herald trumpets it as a a great democratic victory! The Lexeme Union takes up lbs cry and says that the Wayne democra cy cannot be swerved.! Stuff! the figures show for themselves. All this bluster cannot conceal the groat changes in Wayne. The figures always give (ha lie to atich vain boasting, gents. If that, little majority is qot buried ,300 deep with surplus votes for Fremont next Tuesday, wc lose our guess. And this majority for the hunker Slate ticket, barely 9800 on the average, and gained by fraud al lhat, should bo 40/100 to warrant so much blowing; Tho hunkers claim a majority of 4 in the Lcgis tnre op joint ballot, aoijt a majority of the Congress men.

Dear BnoriiEit;—Yon have given me quite a political lecture. Well, ns you ore slumping for office ! might expect it; I 'am no politician,-and know no politics except such os I con pray God lo bless. You sea no difficulty, if the people of the Territory feel disposed to obey (he laws.— That is out of Ihe question. - The'people here never will obey the laws which they have had no hand in making—laws imposed upon us by a set pf men calling themselves Demo crats, but who never knew what it was to be actuated by-moral,principle; living in other Stales, 1 and fattening on the unrequited (oil of the poor bondmen; coming here in great numbers wilh the bowie knife and revolver in one hand, and the other filled wilh cruel fetters and chains—shaking them in our faces, and saying to us, “Pul these on and wear them, and you shall be allowed to work by the side of our niggers in peace; but if you resist, we will blow your brains out aiyl cut your throats.” And they are in earnest' 100 ; for seveial brave freemen have already fallen by their bloody hands. You say our Territory “ would have been as quiet 10-day as New York, but for a class of men in Congress who are determined to rule or ruin.” Acknowledge it ; and who are that class of men ? Who have it in their power to abrogale the laws which some of the most honest among them acknowledge to be “ a disgrace lo any nation, ’’ and yet will not do it because they are determined lo rule 7 My brother, who are they 7 President Pierce and his Democraiic coadjutors. Mr. Buchan an, the man whom you are laboring to elect for our next President, intends in a few days lo be at the head of that class. The Lotd have mercy on us, and disappoint him. You ask if “ we are to raise the arm of rebellion against all unjust laws?” I ans wer, no; we should bear and forbear, until forbearance ceases to be a virtue. You say “ a gredl principle is at slake;” and ask, “ Shall the principle of self-govern ment be sustained 7” We say, yes; and that is all we ask. You, Democrats, sav, no; Missouri shall govern fht. And when it is ascertained that we have got 100 mpeh of lh« bl~>«i ou’r veihs to be governed thus, then your leader employs the United States army to help Missouri lo govern us. This, I suppose, you call sus laining ihe principles of self-government.— “ Wo unto him that puls darkness for light, and light for darkness.” You think I bad "belter quit preaching Christ and him crucified, when 7 think ii my duly to preach Republicanism.” I sec nothing in a Republican form of government inconsistent with the religion of Jesus. This is my principle of action ; “ Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye the same unto them.” You take (lie ground that “all laws must be obeyed, whether just or unjust.” You think 1 can,keep my mouth shut on the sub ject of slavery, and ask if “Christ! said one word lo the Roman legions about their laws.” You havo probably forgotten what Christ said lo his ministers when he sent them out lo preach. Lei me “ stir up your pure mind by way of remembrance.” Read, if you please, Mailhew 10, 27, 28—" What ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon (he house tops ; and fear not them that kill the body, but ore not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Also verse 38 : “Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I deny before my father in Heaven.” Suppose I live in a community of drunkards, and they make o law that no one shall open his mouth on the subject of their darling sin—or they are horse thieves, and havo a law which forbids any man to meddle wilh this sin—or they whip women’s naked bodies, rob cradles, and sell innocent babes tor money lo purchase whiskey wilh. They break up the domestic relations of a certain class of people who live amung them, violating Christ’s command, “ What God baib joined together let no man pul asun der,” and have a law that no man shall open his mouth against these enormities. Now 1 ask you (who profess to bo a disciple of Christ) is it my duty lo obey these laws, and not open my mouth on these subjects 7 Or shall 1 obey Christ; and warn men every where With prayers and tears, and entreaties ? How can I preach Christ and ntf preach against sin 7 Will you Join ( hands with those who will imprison mo if they can catch me 7 Shall I lie within the gloomy walls qf a prison for preaching ihe Gospel, with the reflection that my own brother in flesh, and in the church, exerted all his influence lo forge my chains? Remember, brother, if yon are ex peeling office, that a “gift may blind the wise.” M. L. Wjsneh. The Soutii for Disunion.—Speaking of the dinner lately given to Preston S. Brooks, (tig Charleston (S.

Gob/Geary is still engaged in “ quieting ' theJieopla],"arresting Free Slate mep,.Having them examined by the Pierce Judges, com ‘ milted' Tor' murder larceny or any other crime which suits. How is it on the Other side 1 : Op to'tbishouinol 6 Pro-Slave ry murderer, borse-thref'dr sidy other crimi nal ha? been arrested, Why 1 body, will make a complaint agaipst them under the bogus laws. And even supposing (jiat a free State man woujd anpeal to this In famous code for redress of grievances, how much chance would there,be of convicting a pro-slavery roan before such judges, and such a jury as was summoned to try the High Treason prisoners two weeks ngot No chance ’whatever, even if his crime were ns black as the pit, and as susceptible of proof as that the light of day shines on the earth ! I believe it was Solomon who “ got off” tho remark, that “ all is vanity,” and I am pretty well satisfied that the old Philosopher had some young Philistine like Gov. Geary in his eye when he wrote it. Judging Gov. Geary by his dress, he is very much like other men. But judging him by his conver sation he is unlike anything else in this world I which lever “ kirn acrost.” He is evidently impressed with the importance of beingUhe successor of the great whiskey Shannon.— Ha said to an acquaintance of nline, “ Sir, 1 carry on my shoulders the next President of the United States.” To another, he said “ 1 am not going to lose here the reputation of a long public life acquired elsewhere. :d will expend $lO,OOO of my own private fortune before I will suffer my reputation tot be in jured.” He says he has established a system of espionage upon the people. “ I have got friends in your towns —in your most secret meetings—finding out everything.” But the following scene which took place (o-day will illustrate Geary pretty well : Time—this afternoon ; Geary’s office in Lecompton. In the office are two gentlemen and two ladies from Lawrence, and the Gov ernor. A farmer comes into the office, the Governor shakes hands and tells him to sit down. They talk as follows : Gov.—“ Any business Sir J” Farmer.—“ Yea; I come to make a com plaint.” Gov.—' ■' Well, Sir.” Far. —“ Yes ; ’peers like’s though’s ’zeph them solgers has done gone and ’a stole my potatoes —they have.” Go».—“ what! the soldiers J” Far.—“ Yes, now ; the solgers I” . Gov.—“ Go down to the Judges office, make oath belbre him to the number of bush els of potatoes stolen, —take the affidavit to Col. Cook and be will pay you.” Fur.—“ I’ve been to Cook, and I reckon he wont pay me.” Gov.—“ What did he say, Sir I” Far.—(looking at *he ladies) “He declined paying (bribe.potatoes.”. Gov.— “ 1 want to know Col. Cook’s own words, Sir, —his own words.” Far.—(Looking sideways at the ladies) “ Well, Sir, he said that he wished every d—d man in the territory was shot—that’s all.” Gov.—“ Sir, that is not so ;he never said so, Sir, never Sir!’’ Far.—“ Sir, ( vehemently) it is so, Sir ; 1 say so, Sir, and you must not say 1 lie Sir, if you be a Governor.” Gov.—“ Guard, lake this man to prison. Sir. Do your duty, Sir, or I will have you served in the same way, Sir.” The farmer was led off to the evident sat isfaction of Governor Geary. Whether Gov. Geary will accomplish his object, (the elec tion of Old Buck,) remains for you to say; though what particular capital he has made for old Buck at the North, I cannot say. i suppose the imprisonment of over a hundred Freemen, because they were found wearing] arms for their defense, made Buchanan plenty of Southern voles ; but that is noi where he wants them most just now ; he wants them at the North —in Pennsylvania. I have just heard Sheriff Jones, (the same man who was murdered last spring by the Bobolitionisls) offer to be $lO,OOO on the elec tion of Buchanan. He also offered to bet the same amount on Buck’s carrying Pennsylva nia. I asked him how much he would bet on the result in Poller County, Pa I Ho said “ I don’t know much about Potter county but I’ll bet you a thousand on Berks.” I de clined. Every body in Potter knows General Briodle, one of the rip-rapping fraternity of Lycoming county. Well, lasi summer ho came to Leavenworth city,set up for an “ A No. I.” Border Ruffian, was a lender of the infamous gbng who murdered William Phil lips, and drove the Free State men from Leavenworth. How is he rewarded ? Why, Frank Pierce gives him the only office in the Territory held by a Free Stale man—receiver . of public moneys. Mr. Shoemaker, the in cumbent, was appointed by Judge Douglas, but as ho did not understand Squatter Sover eignly as Steve does, he is removed, and this scoundrel Brindle, treacherous to his own in stincts—treacherous to the instincts of Free dom which warm the breast of every true Pennsylvanian—is appointed in his place.— Truly, Pierce can always find doughface dirt eaters among the dregs of Pennsylvania dem ocracy.

Address of the State Republican Committee. Yhe Democratic State ticket has been elec* (ed.by a small majority. It received the voles of thousands of,Mr. Fillmore's friends in Philadejpbia and elsewhere, who cannot sup port James Buchanan for the Presidency. >lt “ slipped in at the tide door" while the (ran friehds of the Union ticket were slumbering at their posts. They have not bebrr vigilant. They Have not put forth their strength. The official returns of the recent election shpw that in many counties their votes have 'not been polled. In Cumberland, the entire vote is nearly six huundrtd Its*, than in 1854, — In Berks, it is hundred lest than in 1852. In Franklin it is nearly six hundred lest than in 1832. Iti Dauphin ihere ia aiTib. crease of seventy voles, only since 1852.-“ Similar deficiencies will be found in (he offi cial returns from other counties. The Dem ocratic party, with o perfect organization to every election district in the Stale,polled every vote which could be secured by the utmost vigilance, and at any cost. Never before were such efforts made by that party fo carry an election—and never was an opposition- fnore sanguine of its own success, and morq neg lectful of the proper means to secure it. Friends of liberty! We invoke you to arouse from that supineness which must prove fatal to any cause, however just and holy it may be. With you a gracious Providence has deposited the power of arresting the e«- tension of human slavery to the free'Rsrrflo. ries of the country. This is the single object of the Republican party. It proposes no in (erference with the consiilutional claims of any State. It does not concern itself with slavery in the South—it seeks no quarrel with any section of the Union. But it demands fidel ily to that solemn compact whjch admitted Missouri, pledged freedom to Kansas, and peace to a distracted country. It declares that those w,ho destroyed it, shall derive no advan tage (rom their own wrongful act, and this is a principle daily administered IP every court of justice throughout the civilized world. It promulgates no political doctrines of recent origin, but founds itself upon those embraced and maintained by Washington, Jefferson. Franklin, and other Fathers of the Republic. The Electoral ticket nominated by the joint action of the Slate Committee, represents fairly the principles for which we contend. Every vole cast for that which contains the name of John C. Fremont is a vole for those principles, and the aggregate will exhibit their strength with the people of Pennsylvania. In propor tion to the number of voles cast for that ticket, in the event of the election of the twenty.six electois, the vole of Pennsylvania will be cast in the Electoral College. And so, in propor tion to the number of voles given for MiHard Fillmore and the same twenty-six electors, will bo the number of voles which he will re ceive in the Electoral College. u Mr. Fremont and Mr. Fillmore are therefore rival candi dates, and the contest for popular supremacy may be conducted by their respective friends with all the earnestness in their power, each contending for their principles without com promise or concealment, and asking no favors of the other. This plan of union, exacting no moral sacrifice, must commend itself to the friends of both candidates, and its accep tance by them must result in the defeat of Mr. Buchanan. Republicans !' Let os prepare for the final struggle. Our cause is just—our candidate is worthy ! In the prime and vigor of a life which has been devoted to honorable, labori ous and useful services to the country, the ack nowledged foundeij of the free State of Cali fornia, the first who opend h pathfor the emi grant across the .Rocky Mountains ,to the shores of the Pacific, facing death and over coming dangers in the enterprise which no man before him had dared to encounter, he has been presented to the people, not as a ca'- culating and successful.politician, but as one from their own ranks, whose career is the evi dence of merit, capacity and patriotism, if you would check the extension of slavery, and assert the wonh and dignity of free labor ; if you would preserve the Constitutional rights of every section of our beloved country ; if you would “ ensure domestic tranquility,es tablish justice, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to your-, selves and your posterity,” the lime to do it is now ! For these very objects, the lives end fortunes of men, in the early history of our country, were pledged and lost. No such sacrifices are demanded of you. We ask only that every citizen who values such blessings, and desires to make them permanent, may for that purpose devote a few days-of peaceful labor to the cause. A full vote in Pennsyh vania on the 4ih of November will settle for* ever the sectional controversy into which lha country has been plunged by the scandalous measures of an administration which Mr. Bu chanan has publicly approved and is pledged to maintain.
