THE KANSAB FEVER.
When some fanatics were once upon a
time arretted for very violent and treasonable
expressions against an English King, he
was appealed to for a severe disposition of
their case. With great wisdom he remark
ed "they have Bet their hearts upon being
martyrs and 1 have set mine npon disappoint
ing them."
To compare small things to great in the il- I
lustration of the same human nature: last
week • poor (allow who was nearly dead
with epileptic fits, and had used poisonous
— woo aiiuwn as mo 'Dine man,'
engaged in the sale of books opposite Bar
num's Museum in New York, ar.d in the
fashion of the "razor strop" man drew a
crowd until the street became blocked up
and the police arrested him. Instantly the
Know-Nothings began to manufaclnre polit
ical capital against the "Irish police," be
cause '.be man had sold the lives of Ftllntore
and Donaldson, though it did not appear
(hat the police knew what kind of books he
sold. The magistrate scented the game; and
instead of making a martyr of the 'blue man,'
he admonished him to raise no more crowds
in the street bnt to sell as many books oth
erwise as he oooId; and so discharged him.
If Senator Sumner had not been made a
martyr by the abolitionists he would now
have no other reputation than that of a finish
ed blackguard. Brooks in like manner has
made political capital. To prove how (his
worka, we observe thai last week a member
who would likely never have been otherwise
heard of, made a vary abusive speech in
denunciation of Mr. Buchanan, and bid for
notoriety and n fight by saying he held him
self responsible in the House or out of it,
at all times, for what be Lad said. This of
course meaDS the same as if he had said—
"won't some gentleman fight me into notori
ety!"
It is this way that poor Kansas ha. been
used by abolition demagogues in the manu
facture of horrors and exciting outrages.—
These fanatics feel better under a flag with
sixteen stars than one with thirty-one. They
can no longer frighten people with a "tariff"
panic, and they only deal in "ruin." They
used the iron manufacturers for political tools
ea long as they could, and now they are
determined to nse poor Kansas.
And when "blood and murder" will not
|MMe fast enough In Kansas by the help of
rifles and such like auxiliaries, an
can bo torturedfb help
Wc remember when some
a member of Congress turned out
BWean infamous forger, and yet'no person
thought of holding his party or his state re
sponsible. There have been assaults and
batteries in Congress before the present ses
sion, and nobody was silly enough to or
ganize a sectional party for that reason, nor
to suggest that tho States from which such
members came must therefor go out of the
Union.
Burning of a Steamboat on Lake Erie.
On the 17th inst. the steamer Northern In
diana was burnt on Lake Erie, and out of
110 or 115 passengers about 30 lives were
lost. The fire caught near the engine, and
the alarm among the passengers was so great
thßt many were disabled from rendering
any assistance. Mr. Wetmore the first male
was in oommand of the steamer at the time,
and behaved bravely. There were about two
cords of plank on the steamer, and be com
menced throwing these overboard, and also
tables and other objects onon which passen
gers might find safety. He was the last man
to leave the steamer, and aaya he could have
staid on half an honr longer without incon
venience. He is of opinion that if the pas
sengers could have been controlled to obey
him, not one life would have been lost. The
steamer Mississippi came up and picked up
the passengers floating, and such as yet re
mained on the Northern Indiana. Among
the passengers saved were Rev. William
Calheart, wife and child, of Lagrange, Indi
ana, who were on their passage from this
place to their western home.
FATAL AFFRAY AT HOLUDAYSBURG— On Sat
urday night a week ago some men at Holli
daysburg came to angry and heated words
in the course of which a large, hoavy man
named Hewitt brandished his fists for fight
and placed himself in attitude to attack Mr.
Neff a young lawyer, who thereupon drew
a knife and making a pass at Hewitt so
stabbed him that he soon after Aed. It was
not immediately observed that he was
wounded, and the parties separated. The
respective companies seem to have been
Respectable men, and had not been drink
ing. Neff was in company with a merchant
and a doctor of the place, when the afTair
happened, and at once gave himself up to
the law. Judge Taylor admitted him to bail
In 56,0C0, which he entered.
VF Next week we will publish an educa
tional address delivered by Dr. P.John at the
close of the last terra of the Millville Semi
nary. It has merit in its matter, and will be
read with interest by all who feel any interest
in the snbjeet of education.
MT Several fatal oases of cholera have oo
curred within the past week in Philadelphia
and Delaware county.
THE CAMPAIGN.
A Dumber of names are to-day announced
for ooonty officers, and those who would lika
10 tee the party in a turmoil would doubtless
to see many more. A number of per
sons who have been named, seeing that in
divisions there must be defeats, have from
the most honorable motives declined being
candidates. The polioy of the opposition
will naturally be to divide and conquer, and
any cause can find a fit tool for mischief.
In the last three campaigns the true Demo
crats of this county have met an insidious
and desperate foe in their own midst, of
which the vote in a few infected districts
furnishes the mark and proof. Three years
ago the treacherous, the timid and corrupt
formed an alliance against the Democratic
nominations; and in 1854 it was designed by
that clan to give the Know-Nothings full
sway. The true Democrats met that issue
early and bravely ; and week after week we
fearlessly vindicated the cause of honor and
manliness. We warned when the timid
shrunk cowardly from the contest; and we
dealt blow after blow when the corrupt sold
themselves to darkness and treachery. For
this the base will never forgive ns; but many
who honestly erred have heartily thanked us,
and will ever respect us. No where else
was Know-Nothingism so met, and no whore
else so sorely defeated in its day bf p'ide
Other counties were distracted while Ibis one
stood firm.
L*l fa)J l)io sumo enmidiooa misoiiiof want
with the lodge of darkness, bigotry and guile.
Men calling themselves Democrats bargained
with the remnant of Know-Nothingism, and
tried over again the deed of darkness; but
proved as powerless as before.
These county offices are no source of profit
to those who hold them ; but it is important
to the public that fit men. should fill them.
A parly has nothing to gain in its nomina
tions, bul by taking disreputable men it
has much to loose. The object should not
be to satisfy the most importunate applicant,
but to give position to a man who will do no
discredit to his party, who has been consis
tent and honest in all things. Those who
went after strange idols are to be guarded
against ae unsafe to be trusted; for by their
defection they have proved that an idle wind
may turn them. If only safe and tiusty men
are placed in front, the party will gain not
only strength and success, but respect and
confidence for future security. If those are
trusted who have betrayed, there can neither
be confidence and onion among ourselves,
nor any respect from others.
Important Ariangemeut.
The Board of Canal Commissioners have
awarded the carrying of passengers on the j
State Railroad fromLanoasler to Philadelphia
to Messrs. Thomson & Yeager, the two pres
idents of the Pennsylvania and of the Harris
burg and Lancaster Railroads. Messrs. Bing
ham & Dock have hitherto had the contract
for carrying the passengers on the State road
from Lancaster eastward. ' The transfer now
made is in effect to the Pennsylvania and
Harriabnrg and Lancaster railroads, and de
livers the passengers from the annoyance of
divided control and the vexatious of indiffer
ent agents and conductors. From Philadel
phia to Pittsburg, henceforth, the supervision
, of the passengers will be single and unbro
ken over the whole I'"e.
Tlae Bloomsburg and Lackawanna Rail*
road.
For a week past the Engineers have been
engaged in locating the Bloomsburg and Lack
awanna Railroad from its junction with the
Cattawissa Railroad pa6t this place. It will
run nearer the town than was generally ex
pected. The contractors are already on hand
to fence the road, and then the work of gra
ding will commence at once. So far as the
road runs through this county it can be built
for a less sum per mile than any other rail
road in the Slate.
17* The Lancaster Examiner publishes ap
provingly the proceedings of an Abolition
meeting held in Sadsbury township, lor the
purpose ol forming a Fremont Club. The
principal managers of the meeting were those
who played a prominent and conspicuous
part in the Christiana negro riot of 1850,
which resulted in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch,
and disgraced our cour.ty and Slate. George
Whitson, one of the fiercest Black Republi
cans in the Commonwealth acted as Presi
dent of the meeting. J. P. Scarlet, wbo~if
we mistake not—was tried for treason, serv
ed as Vice President; and Ellwood Greisl,
who counseled resistance to the laws of the
country, in a mixed assemblage of wnites
and blacks, at Georgetown, a few days be
fore the Christiana murder, was the Secreta
ry!
The Bradford Times. —A new weekly pa
per with the above title has been started in
Towanda, Bradford county, Pa., by D. Mc-
Kinley Mason, a practical printer, and for
merly a compositor in the Philadelphia Ledg
er office. It advocates the election of Mr.
Buchanan. It has a large amount of editori
al comments, well and forcibly written, a
good advertising ccstom, and looks as if it
could render good assistance to the cause it
has espoused and be generally useful to the
community in which it is published.
LV The new Judge, Hon. Warren J.
Woodward, was last week required to spend
several days in this place, and made a favor
able impression upon our people by his man
ly bearing and intelligent spirit.
ur Affer several hearings before Judge
Woodwaid, the prisoner, James M. Price,
committed for homicide, was allowed to give
bail in >4,000; but not doing so is still in jail
to await his trial at the next Court. The ev
idence on the habeas corpus was substantially
the same as at the inquest.
SsW Ex-President Paez, of Venezuela, had
a dispute with a hackman in New York,
about overcharging, and the latter beat him,

Truth in a Nut-Shell.
Hon. Henry Clay, in 1850, used the follow
ing expressive language, which cannot be
too often repeated and commented upon :
"01 all the bitterest enemies of the unfor
tunate negro, there are none to compare with
the Abolitionists, their pretended friends;
who, like the Centaur of old, mount not the
back of the horses, bul the back of the negro,
to ride themselves into power."
True every word. AH that the leaders of
disunion and sectional fanaticism can do for
the negro amounts to just this—no more, no
less—the anti-Slavery question furnishes
them with votes enough to get into office.—
By stirring the leea of this great cauldron, the
scum of humanity gradually rises to the sur
face, and men who, under other circumstan
ces, could never have crawled out of their
native obscurity, are elevated into prominent
positions. '
Abolitionism pays well, 100, in other re
spects. It affords a fat living to an army of
drones and unprincipled demagogues, who
delight as public lectures to set the people by
the ears—not to make war upon the South
but upon each other; theirown neighbors and
bosom friends.
We fully agree with Mr Clay, that the Ab
olitionists are the Interest enemies the negro
has in the world. They have riveted the
bonds which they profess to deplore, more
firmly than ever, by their madness and reck
lessness; they have deprived the negro at
the South of very many privileges that he
onoe enjoyed, end have retarded lt)8
i emancipation in this country at least half a
I century. More than all this; their hypocrit
ical professions about the equality of the ra
ces have made the negroes an intolerable
nuisance everywhere in the Northern and
Eastern States. It has inflated that degraded
race with extravagant ideas of their own dig
nity and importance, and has rendered them
so insolent,domineering and overbearing, that
some of the Stales have expelled them from
their borders. We should not be surprised
ifotheie were compelled to resort to the same
measure of self-defence. This is what the
bitter enemies of the negro have done under,
the garb of philanthropy. They have not
emancipated a single slave, nor have they a
desire to do so. The abolition ol slavety
would spoil their trade in sympathy, their
wholesale traffic in human credulity— it
would prevent votes at elections, stop the
salaries of ranters, and compel an army of
drones to betake themselves to some honest
employment.
The Black Line Party.
Mr. Comins, of Massachusetts, said in a
speech in the House of Representatives on
the 10th inst. that "nothing remained forthat
gentleman (Mr. Cubb, of Georgia,) but to
draw marginal lines of black around the Con
stitution and write expunged across its pa
ges." Mr. Cobb's rebuke of the revolting
sentiment was one of the noblest bursts of
patriotic eloquence that ever honored the
halls of Congress. He said: "Sir, he who is
prepared for the damnable deed may perform
il. It is no pan ol my dnty, and finds no re
sponse in my heart. I prefer to regard and
protect from the assaults of treason and fa
nalicm this sacred legacy from our revolu
tionary fathers." It appears from the fol
lowing, which we clip from the Bangor (Me.)
Democrat, that the process of expunging has
already been applied by Air. Comins' par
ly in Maine to the glorious flag of our coun
try.
DISUNIOMRM.—HannibaI Hamlin, Lot M.
Morrill, and Charles W. Danville, Esq,, of
Danville, addressed a Fremont Meeting at
Norway, on Monday, standing under an
American flag, own which were only sixteen
stars I—Dem. Advocate.
The disunion flag, with sixteen stars only,
still continues to float across the public high
way in this village—an emblem of sectional
ism, and a disgrace to the party who placed
it there.— Norway Adv.
The Portland State of Maine has hung out
a Fremont and Dayton flag, on which are
only sixteen stars.
A salute of sixteen guns was fired at Port
land the day Hannibal Hamlin was nomina
ted.
Only sixteen States were represented in
the Convention which nominated Fremont
and Dayton.
These are significant signs of the disunion
tendencies and feelings of the blaok republi
cans. They scarcely take any pains to dis
guise their hostility to the Union. Let those
who love their country and desire to perpet
uate the Union, ponder these things and then
do their duty.—Phila. Argus.

CuRTOstTtBS OF DUELLINQ.—Among the most
remarkable circumstances connected with
the duello in this country, is that of the change
of sentiment at the North and South relating
to the code of honor. According to Sabine's
Notes, the first duel fought in North Ameri
ca was in New England, between two Puri
tans, while the first law against duelling was
tnlroduced into Congress, in the year 1802,
by a Virginian, while the most forcible and
eloquent appeals against the practioe of du
elling have been made by South Carolini
ans. Gen. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of
South Carolina, one of the most eminent
men that Stale has produced was Chairman
o< a Committee, appointed by the Society of
Cincinnati, to dralt a memorial against duel
ling. It is but four years since, that another
eminent South Carolinian, Mr. Rhett, de
clined to engage in a duel with Senator
Clemens, of Alabama, and proclaimed hie
abhorrence of the prnclice in the Senate
chamber. Although every State in the Un
ion has p asset! laws against duelling, yet the
first opposition to the practice appears to
have originated at the South, where it has
now become an institution, while at the
North it has ceased to be resorted to by any
class of the people.— N. Y. Times.
ur The Danville Intelligencer says the
crops of grain and hay in Montour are very
good this year.
tF H. D. Maxwell has been appointed
President Jodgeof Northampton District in
place of Judge McCartney deceased.
Curious. —AU lha newspapers that profess
to be opposed to duelling are sorry that
Brooks did not go to Canada and get shot!

IdT The ladies tried in Ohio, for destroy

Peace In Kansas Not Wanted by the Poitl
cinns.
Telegraphic despatches *y (be Free Kan*
■as party are again marching into that Terri
tory, armed with Sharp'a rifles. We hope
that every one of them will be disarmed be
fore he will be allowed to cross the borders
of the Territory. That Territory ia now un
der martial law, and the United Stales au
thorities have turned the lawless, fighting men
of both aides out. There has been peace with
in the Territory ever since, bat peace is not
wanted. The Kansas'troubles are 100 good
for electioneering purposes to allow peace
and qniet to reign, and hence an attempt to
create disorder and outrage again. The ma
jority in the House of Congress are endeav
oring to assist this state of affairs. They have
passed an amendment to the army bill, de
claring that the President shall not use any
of the military in enforcing the laws of the
present territorial government. This is equiv
alent to saying that there shall be no law at
all, and outrages may take place with impu
nity. This amendment will not pass the
Senate, but the attempt to control the Presi
dent in his constitutional duty shows that
there are those who would rather have the
murders and'burnings in Kansas which they
have so industriously paraded before the pub
lic, continue a little while longer till afier the
I Presidential election, so that they may polit
ically trade upon them. The President un
derstands his duty, and seems determined to
perform it faithfully and impartially. Hence
be will not withdraw the military till Con
gress pass a law providing for an election by
i the people of Kansas to decide whether they
shall come into the Union or not. The pres
ence of the military is necessary in Kansas
till that election is over, to guard against in
cursions from surrounding Slates on the elec
tion day, with a view to intimidate voters, or
to fill the ballot box with illegal votes. The
absence of a force sufficient to prevent such
outrages has been the cause of bitter revil
ingg of the President. Now that it is present
and likely to prevent any interference with
the legal residents of the State and the fair
expression of their opinion, the same persons
who so loudly complained are trying to get it
removed.— Phila. Ledger.
EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, JULY 26.—There is much
excitement and indignation among the Irish
portion of our population at the acquittal of
Mr Herbert. He left Washington early this
morning. The two trials have cost the gov
ernment about SIBOO.
Ex-Mayor Lennox has been arrested .and
held to bail not to fight a duel wub Mr. Rad

Several other personal difficulties growing
out of the Herbert affair still remain unset
tled.
SMASH ON TUB UNDERGROUND RAILROAD—
One of the Richmond and N. Y. Coasters
was overhauled a few days ago, and a negro
was found shut up in a box, nearly suffoca
ted with the heat, he having been sent on
board in that situation by the agents of the
Underground Railroad, with a view to escape
from Slavery. A second examination was
instituted, and another slave was found in
the same situation, and io nearly the same
condition. These discoveries will doubtless
affect disasterously the business of the sub
terranean railroad and its living freight.

Secret Political Societies do not Work Well.—
There is trouble in the O. U. A.'s in New
York. Some of the members wish to vote
for Fremont, but the Order insists that they
mustßO for Fillmore and Donelson or be ex
pelled. The New York Times says that many
in good and regular standing suppose that
unless there is a Catholic in the case, they
are at liberty to vote as their conscience dic
tates. At a regular meeting held on Wednes
day night, at their hall, corner of Grand and
Ludlow, the matter was discussed, and the
Chair decided, after the reading of the "Pri
va'e Work" of the Older, that no member
could vote at the coming election for any oth
er candidate for the Presidency than Millard
Fillmore.

A Truth Jrom a Strange Quarter. —The
New York Herald, the papar that first lead
off for John C. Fremont, a few days since re
marked :
"But long before Col. Fremont enters the
White House—if indeed he is ever destined
to occupy that mansion—the question of
Kansas will be dead and gone, settled, end
?d, laid on the shelf, as much so as the Com
promise of 1850, or the Nebraska Law."
Then eviry plank of the Philadelphia con
vention will be knocked to splinters, and the
Black Republicans will present the strange
phase of a party fighting without an object.
ty The President has pardoned Wagner,
the ouly person convicted of being engaged
in the enlisting in the United States for a
foreign power in the Crimean Vrar. The
reasons are that the international question
which grew out of this scandalous violation
of our laws has been happily and amicably
disposed of; the official functions of the
principal offender have ceased, and it is not
considered necessary to pursue further the
municipal offence of subordinate persons con
cerned.

Atroclotta fraud on the Public.
Arrest and Committal qf the Perpetrator.
We learn from (he Philadelphia press, thai
Hotlla who waa charged with counterfeiting
to extensively the labels of Holloway'a Pills,
| has been committed to Moyamensing jail for
trial in default of bail. The examination
showed that the immense sales of Holloway'a.
remedies in (his country had long since ex
eited the cupidity of a elasa of miscreants
known as "medical counterfeiters;" The
establishments of Professor Holloway, in of.
ery city of the Union, has been closely watch
ed, the extent of their business ascertained,
and finally a system of counterfeiting planned
out which, in extent and magnitude, hae
probably never been equalled ic this or in
any other country. We hope the fortunate
arre'st of the chief conspirator, Hollig, wild
tend to explode the whole scheme; all the
material of the rascally combination is now
in the hands of the police, la is somewhat
difficult to counterfeit the remedy of Prof.
Holloway with impunity. His agents "cover
the land," constituting an all-pervading "vig
ilance committee" whore Argus eyes are
ever open to the interests ol the sick, which
are in fact 'one and inseparable.' Hollisand
bis gang forgot this independent medical po
lice, ever on the alert, all in direct communi
cation with the office in New York. Tbey
left out gf their calculation the boundless
pecuniary resources of Professor Holloway,
and under estimated his zeal and liberality
when engaged in hunting down the double
knavery that tampered with the publio health
while it aonght to rob blm of his reputation.
The timely discovery of this scheme of
wholesale rascality, will, we trust, be a warn
ing to medical counterfeiters. The counter
feit plates, labels, &0., are all in the hands
of the authorities of Philadelphia, and- the
conspiracy is utterly crushed. Its effect has
been to exhibit in a more strikiug light the
unparalleled popularity ol Holloway'a Pills,
for only against the leading medicine of
the age would such a scheme have been or
ganized.
It would be well for the trade to be on their
guard against simiiar frauds for the future.—
One scheme of imposture is put down, but
the popularity of the medicine may give rise
to others.— N. Y. Nat. Pol. Gazette.
