The dis trict will be united for him at the election, and there will be no candidate against Itim with any expectations of being elected. Mr. Montgomery will redeem the twelfth dis trict. Mr. ENT has made one of the very best officers in the service of the State, and we are sure the Canal Board will regret to lose him from a post where tltey will have to be very luoky if they can supply his place by a man so safe and correct in his business. He haa filled a position of much responsibility and labor at Beach Haven, and his accounts have always been kept clear and 'square.— .His salary has afforded a bare living, while bis toil has been unceasing through day and night. His habits are those of the good cit izen, and the reliable business man. It ia such mn whom we want in the legislature; not to consume time by idle and pompous display, but to go right straight to the heart of the public business with understanding and integrity.

His address was conclusive and must have worked conviction on every mind. Wbn ha concluded Gan. War. F. PacKSR was called out, and he proceeded to discuss the slavery issue In an impressive and forci ble manner. He showed that the Republi can party was not content'with the compro mises which the fathers of the republic es tablished, but that it was lakiug issue against the constitution ol the Union—where it re cognized the existence of slavery.

The eolith for Fremont. The Evening Journal, an independent paper of Philadelphia, hae the following re marks in an editorial on the subject of ihe interference of British statesman in onr po litical affairs and the slavery question : "To detach the Sooth from the North has long been, we believe, the cherished aspira tion of English politicians and traders, and if they can but effect their purpose, they care, perhaps, very little whether it in ac complished by a simple severance of the commercial relations of ihe sections, by which means Great Britain may be inter posed between them, or by a dissolution of their political Union. For the fortunes of the negro, British statesmen and merchants have not one particle of honest disinterested sym pathy. They have too large a stake in the profits of American slavery to abolish it to morrow, if they had the power." "Use Nrterbosier." This is the significant soubriquet applied by the good people of Lehigh county, mostly Germans, to the Abolition party of the Stale, now sailing under the disguised flag of so called Black Republicanism. It is a German phrase, and the translation of it, we believe, is "Xigger Kiseeie." When it is recollected d.at lite present Fremont party is only an extension of the old Abolition parly of the State—.the same thing, with a new name— the opilhetj is not misapplied. Our native PennsWcgWi Germans have a world-wide renown as a sagacious and discriminating people, and amidst sit ike serpentina iwir ings of ihe enemy, they never lose sight of his track, and generally call things by their right names. The term " Negerbotstr" is not bad. In Cobtrust with Republican Fanaticism. Last week at a Democratic pole raising in Lancaster City Chief Justice Litwts happen ed to be present, and was invited to address ihe meeting, but lie respectfully declined on the ground thai his position as a member of the Judiciary forbade him from taking so ac tive a participation in the campaign—at the same lime he fell a lively interest in the struggle, and earnestly desired the election of the great and noble standsrd bearers ol the Democratic parly, and deprecated the sectional issue now, for the first time, pre sented iu the history of the conntry. The Judge was most heartily greeted by his old friends tmd neighbors. Joseph Illss goes for Fremont. The celebrated Jos. Hiss, of nunnery in vestigation notoriety—and who raised such a dust in the Massachusetts Legislature a year ago, by taking a woman of a Legisla tive Investigating Committee to which he belonged, and chaining her expenses to the Slate—goes (or Fremont as the best repre sentative of the principles ol the 'American' party which he, the said Joseph Hiss is such a worthy and illustrious member. Jo seph has been chosen a delegate to the Stste Convention of the Fre mooters from the first ward in Boston. 'lhe German Adopted Citizens of New York and IMillnitelphla' The New York News fays that ihe pro fessed German Republican Meeting at the Tabernacle on the evening of the Zlst, wan composed principally Disunionists who were not of German birth,—the latter not composing more than one-fourth of the au dience. The Neun eaya there one hundred Germans at the Democratic Masa Meet ing at TJmrnay Hall where there waa one at the Republican Meeting at the Tabernacle* The Pamsyhanian says that in Philadel pht, the effort to Black Repcblicanize our German adopted citizens fits proved a ridicu •-lous failure. Tho German Fremont organ hat declined ranidly in circulation, and ex ercises little or no influence upon those whom it has attempted to mislead. The Straggle in Coagrest Over. The House of Congress on Saturday fin iahed the work of the extra session, by pass- I ing Ihe army bill without the proviso decla ' ring that the President shall not employ the United States tronps in enlorcing the territo rial laws. The present sta'e of affairs in Kansas, the general rising reported on the Missouri border in consequence of the re cent assault on Franklin by the Lane parly, the probability that the free State party would be speedily overpowered il there war not some lawful authority existing to check their excesses, snd also to keep down the violence of the Missourians, who are prepa ring to drive their opponents out of the terri tory, all show how improper was such a re striction on the executive. The presence of the United Stales troops is the only thing which keeps these two factions from slsying each other. Alexander Hamilton. This eminent statesman is reported to have uttered the following words, a short time previous to his death : "To brtak this Union would bwk my htarl." Let ns pause and ponder upon these re maraable words, and determine that the Union shall be preserved until time shall be ' no more. ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS. [ Did Congress every legislate negro slavery into a Territory 1 No. Why! Because it , has no authority under the Constitution to do . so. Has it then authority to legislate slavery ; out of a Territory, or prevent its existence in i a Territory! Clearly not. Tba rale most . work equally both ways or it is a poor one. Another Query- What has Ihe eleolion of President of the United States to do with negro slavery in Kansas'! We ask for information.

It is highly reooramended by Engineers, Elll> B. Schnabel, Esq., [• carrying the war into Africa, and bearding the lion in his den. A correspondent of l>be Harritburg Keystone thus deacribes his late achtevment at Montrose: From this day forward job may dare wonderful change in public opinion, upon the aubjecta of Abolitionism, Freesoil, Bleeding Kansas and other abominationfl on the bor ders of New Vork.andPennsyisar.ia. {went to Montrose the 18th inst., where I found front, four to fiee thousand people in qmiiicil at the Coutt House Square. Just as (arrived, Ellis Schnabel, Esq., of Phila delphia, mounted the stand to harangue the multitude. Gov. Daniel S. Dickinson of this place had just taken his seat, after (as I was informed) having delivered an able address. I have no personal acquaintance with Mr. Scbnabel, although I have olten heard him pronounce in Phfltdelphia those powerful ! political harangues for which be is so distin guished. i expected an able speech—but I was by no mean? prepared for what followed. He threw all his former reputation, as a scholar, logician and orator, ao far into the shade, that I listened with wonder. Beyond all question, be is the mpst learned an elo quent debater we have. He began by defin ing and tracing the long established principles of our government, and holding up to view the many brilliant victories of the National Democracy. Then h brief y sketched the history, principles and purposes of the opposing factions of whatever name. His sharp and tailing fire inane particular direction, soon I betrayed the objset of this eloquent man, and directly it fell, jn the shape of a bold and resolute challenge to his Honor, Judge Wit mot, (of proviso notoriety) who was standing at my side, listening to the speech. Mr. Schnable slated that he had challenged David Wilmot, in wining, some time before, but receiving no answer, he now gave the chal lenge in person, from the public stand, Mr. Wilmot being present. When the gauntlet was thrown, Wilmot, much excited, said "by G , that fellow is after me," and imme diately sent a note to Mr. S , stating that he had written In Mm, accepting the challenge, hut to discuss the issues in Southern Pennsylva nia. This paper did not reach Mr. Schnabel until after the meeting. In the evening, at another meeritjg, Mr. S, in a brief speech, Stated to the audience Hist his challenge was confined to Wilnud's district, where the public mind had long been abused. Bui to return try his afternoon address. For two hours and a half he held that large as semblage, at limes breathless, and anon, rending the air witn their shouts, which it was impossible to suppress. This was the greatest intellectual feat 1 have ever witness ed on the stump; and I have heard the ablest men in the country. Black Republicanism,! and Native Americanism, were called up in 1 succession and crushed in his grasp like the toys of a child. And last of nil, Wilmot himself wns picked ! up—his treason—deceit—inconsistency and folly—were scattered like chaff belore the | wind. After the speaker had by learned ar gument, shown the folly, danger and turpe ludc of the Judge's politics, there came like an avalanche, /he terrible and scathing de nunciation of bis false gods, and an appeal to the people ,with such t> burst of eloquence that the Fremont men found their hearts beating with the old Democratic fire, (fur at least two thousand of them were present) and taken by surprise, found themselves sending up a shout fot James Buchanan. Thu speaker, much estintreled, eat down amidst the most deafening cheers. Wilmot left the ground, cowed by this opening of his powerful adversary ; and the following eve ning to a thin and dejected audier.ce of dia onionists publicly backed out from Mr. Schna bel's challenge, declining, aa a reason, to his friends, that John W. Forney, a debased, un scrupulous politician, and James Buchanan, a G ■ ' d York Spirit of the Timely is Rboul to issue a weekly sporting and literary newspaper, called "Porter's Spirit of the Times,". It will be of Ihe same size and chaiacter as the old paper, and will be contributed to by that large circle of correspondents and writers who gave to the "SPIRW' its distinguished position among the ffterary journals of the United States.

A delegation of fifty.four young ladies attended from Boston, Wayne county, Indiana, in au immense hickory wagon, drawn by eight horses. Each lady was dressed in whi'.e, ane hold in ber hand a small ryhite flag bear ing the names of Buchanan and Breckin ridge. Around the wagon was stretched a pink colored canvass, contsining the motto, " White Husbands or None." This ia the way to say it. The reproof of the present disgust ing attempts to elevate the negro to en equal ity with, or superiority to the white race, wav well limed and forcible. We like to hear the wild fanatics thus rebuked, who would crush out the manners of our forefathers, as well as their principles of government. ty Fred Douglass (who is ■ negro) has hauled down the name of Gerril Smith for President, in his newspaper, and now en dorses Fiemont and Dayton. This secures for the Black Republicans the colored rote in New York, where negroes baring 8250 of property hare a right to role. We wish them a happy time with their colored asso ciate*. They may have Frederick, we will be satisfied with such men as Rulue Choate, Josiah Randall, Win. B. Reed. Jamoe B. Clay and others.
