by Buchanan's friends, and say that the
nomination of Mr. Pr.toseit WWI made ex.
prestly"on the basis of his devotion to the
interests of the '•Sage of. Wheatland.' A
very interesting 'free fight' is evidently
yrewing and will break out of one these
days. It would be as well for the .old fogies
to keep cool. The Presidency next year
is beyond the reach of any of their aspir

to choose their own President, in defiance
of foreign interposition. The party that

The Proof of a "Startling Fact.'
cy We published an article some weeks
since% wifich charged that the appointment
of James Campbell by President Pierce
I as Post master General. was a part of a
contract in persucei of which Pierce receiy
eci'the mass of the Catholic vote of the
country. We quoted, in proof of the cor
rectness of this charge, the statement of
Mr. Barringer, our late Minister to Spain,
that the Ptpo'd Nuncio at that Court hi
formed him, before the appointment was
known to she public), that Campbell had
been appointed and that he was a Cr tholic.
This allegation was clenied by the Mull
ington Union, but as it has;appeared, with
out author*. Mr. Kenneth Rayneeof
Nortkearolina. haying frequently alluded
to this matter in his speeches, felt called
upon to notice this denial. and wrote the
following letter to Vespasian Ellis, of
Washington, the former editorpf,* news
paper called the Atherioan Organ, pub
lished in . that City.
,The letter is a Tory
important and conclusive one :
RALEIGH. N. C., July 19, 1855.
"Mv DEAR Sni*:— . --1 have received yours
of the 16111 inst.. in Whichjeu refer to
the denial by the Uniomnewitiaper, ol the
truth of.the statement (first spoken by me
in my speech at Washington, end after
!rani by you in your oration on the .4th)
of Hon. Daniel M. Barringer, our late
Minister to Spain.
"Mr. Barringer first mentioned this mat•
ter to me last winter, in Raleigh, I have
since taken occasion to allude to it Several
times in delivering popular addresses.—
About sfobr weeks since, on my return
from Philadelphia, I met Mr. Barringer in
Baltimore.,and in the course of converse•
Von with him, I mentioned the fact that I
lied taken' occasion to speak publicly of
what lie had said to me about the Pope's
Nuncio, at Madrid, having stated to him
before he (Mr. B.•) had heard,. and hefore
the news of the same had reached Madrid.
of the formation ofMr. Pierce's cabinet,
that he (the said Nuncin)could tell him one
man that would be in the cabinet, to wit :
Mr. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, a member
of the Roman Catholic Church.
"This warrior I had received the state•
ment from Mr. Barringer in the first in•
.lance, and it was thus diet I had spoken
Of it. :1 asked Mr. Barringer, if I had
represented him correctly, for that 1 shauld
probably speak of it again, and I wished
to be sure, that I might. give the statement
correctly. Mr, B. replied that I had sta.
ted the matter correctly, and then went on
to relate the occasion and incidents of
this remark to him by the Pope's Nuncio.
( "A few .days since, I received a letter
from Mr. Barringer, dated Niagara Palls,
July Oth, DOW.' whieh, after alluding
to the fact that he had lately seen pribliah
ell a - synopsis of-my speech in Washing
ton, in which I was reported as having
mentioned the matter in terms sowewhlt
variant from those in which he had stated
it
.to me, he (Mr. Barringer) goes on to
reiterate wbatite led twice•<before stated
to me..
"I will quote to you, verbatim, the lan•
guage used by him, in an extract from
Ms letter just received, (towit :)
'Before I had any authentic and certain news
of the formation of the Cabinet, and while it
was a subjaci of conjecture at the Court of
Madrid, he (the Pope's Nuncio,) told me that
Judge Campbell, of Pennsylvania w as appoint
ed, anti that be was a Catholic ; which was
the first intimation I:hail either of his appoint
ment or of his religion.'
"This is the statement, .as I had given
it, when alluding to it in public ; although
it might have been slightly - varied in the
newspaper reports; and this, I 'think, es
tablishes the charge, long since made, and
believed by thousands, that there was an
unglerstanding, to call it by no worse
name, that the - Roman Catholic vote
should be given to Mr. Pierce, and that he,
in Itint,sliould give to that Church a seat
in , his Cabinet, as well as many other
high positions.
"You are at liberty to make any use
you please of this letter, in vindication of
yourself against the charge of falsehood by
the Union newspaper, inasmuch es you
based your statement on my authority.
YoUrs, very truly, S RAYNER.
Mr. Ellis also wrote to Mr. Barringer
on the subject. Mr. Barringer, replied,
from Saratoga, under dato of July 23d.
As to the precise form of the remark wade
to him by the Pope's Nuncio, ho says in
this letter :
'You are mistaken as to the purport of '
the remarks made to, me by the represen
tative of the Pope at Madrid. It was not
that he knew beforehand that Mr. Camp•
bell would be appointed, and 88 a member
of the Catholic Church, or that he knew
anything about it before the appointment
was actually made. Whit I have said,
and what I remat is, that before I had
any certain news of the formation of the
Cabinet, and while .its constitution was
still in doubt,. and the aulject of coulee.
thre in Mc public mind u Madrid,' he
told me that Mr. Campbell was appointed
and that he was a Catholic, which was
thefirat information 1 had of either fact."
It thus appeared that Judge Campbell's
appointment was determined upon a con
siderable time in advance of its announce
ment, notwithstanding the determined op
positon of •a large portion of his party ;
and that this information -was speedily
communicated to the Catholic Dignitaries.
who koew it, even those of them who liv
ed in foreign countries, in advance of the
representatives of our own governmeut in
those countries. This fact Is so remarkable
as, when compared with other well-known
Acta on the same subject, to leave no
"doubt that the Catholic Church interfered
directly, with politics in 1852, and cast its
influence for one of the candidates, under
au agreentent which was to secure for it a
Cabinet office and a large share of the sub
tudivate offices of the country 1

The Conspiracy in kansaks,„
The Pro-Slavery conspirators' in
Kansas are ' ' rapidly forcing matters to a
crisis. Recent letters disclose a settled
purpose to override every thing like hon
esty and decency is the determination to
t•eruali out" Freedom from the torritony,
and fasten Slavery upon it. We had been
already informed by telegraph that the
Legislature had adjourned frolc . Pawnee
(a town near the forks of Kadin river,
where Gov. Gov. REEDER had *led it)
to the Shawnee Mission, in the imme—
diate neighborhood of the Missouri line.
Ottr readers will remember that Gov. It.
vetoed the vote for an adjournment. The
Legislature, however, passed the vote anew
by more than tyre-thirds over•his veto.

They, lad also, we learn, with remarka
ble rapidity. voted that the whole code of
Missouri should be the law of Kansas.—
Ii was then that, for after purposes, they
adjourned to the immediate neighborhood
of that. State—to the Shawnee Mission.
We'coonfess that we do not,look with
any great regret on this proccedure. With
the evidence we have had that tho election
of these men was a mere sham, it is rather
a satisfaction to find them proceeding with
a waotonti6ss of absurdity which Meat
show, even in the most prejudiced quarters,
that they know they have not the support
of the people of Kansas.
We learn from private sources that the
ejected members of the Legislature were
to meet on the 12th ult., at Lawrence for
consultation. Meetings of the pupil], at
different points through the Territory, are
every where disavowing the authority of
the worse than rump Parliament which is
forcing upon them the hiwsnf another.Com
nionwealth. Gov. REEDER manfully set his
fac'e against these Outrages. It remains to
be seen what effect his recall by our im
becile President will h are upon matters in
Kansas. His successor is a man of some
talent, but was a warm advocate of the Ne
braska swindle. We confess that the pros•
petits for Freedom iu Kauss are just now
gloomy enough.
Or_7'Judge KANE, of the U. S. Circuit
Court, at Philadelphia, has committed I
PASSMORE WILLIAMSON, a noted abolition
jet,. for"contempt of Court." H e was con
cerned in the. foreible removal of three
slaves, the property of Hon. John Wheel
er, U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, while in
Philadelphia- en route to New York. A
writ was served upon Williamson to an
swer the charge. To this writ he made
return that the slaves were not, and had
not been at any time, in his power or cus
tody, and therefore he could not produce
them. The' prosecution objected to this
return, and offered to produce evidence
to show that , it was false. W illiamson's
counsel further maintained that the slaves
having been voluntarily brought into Penn
sylvania by their master, became free un
der settled laws, hitherto recognized by
the judicial tribunals of the country.—
Judge Kane passed by the charge of Per- i
jury, as also, the other questions raised in
the ease, all of wnich would iuvidve a trial
by jury, and committed WilliantSon for
alledged "contempt" in not producing the
slaves, and be is now in custody. The I
ease has excited a good deal of attention, i
and the'Press, of Philadelphia is very se
vere upon the arbitrary exercise of power
power by Judge Kane. A redress to the
State Courts is talked .of. Williamson
may have acted wrongly—ho may_ have
been guilty of misdemeanor, or riot, or as
sault and battery ; but those aro issues
which must bedecided by jury trial. If
'a Judge can override these issues, and in
carcerate at, pleasure on inferential and
shadowless -charges of ''contempt ; " 'there
is an end to personal security. We got
back at ono leap to the dark period,of En
glish Judicial tyranny, prior to the enact
meet of the famous Habeas Corpus privi
lege. We have little sympathy for Wil
liamson's officious philanthropy, but de
test this cringing to the Slave Power, of
lat 9 years corrupting and controlling all
departments of the Government.
P. B.—The rescued slaves of Wheeler,
consisting of a mother and two children,
are now in N. York city. The mother has
made affidavit before Judge Culver, detail
ing the circumstances of her escape, which
Contradicts the testimony of Wheeler rind
entiielyrelievesWilliamson from the charge
of improper interference. She bad commu
nicated to one of the colored waiters at the
hotel her desire to escape and requested as•
vistanee. On being advised of these facts
,Williamson, who is Secretary of the Penn
sylvinia Anti•Slavery • Seelety, roplired to
the boat and in, presence .of Wheeler' an
nounced to the woman that under the laws
of Pennsylvpia (haying been voluntarily
brought into, the State by her master) she
,and her childrenvere free and had a right
togo where she pleased. Willittitsou's spa
extended no further. With the assistance
of some colored friends she then made her
escape. All this only throws in bolder
relief tbe judicial outrage of Judge Kane.

The Work' of Fenian Influence.
lE7•The best. 'advice ever given to the
American people was that contained in
the Farewell Address of the "Father of his
Conntiry," in which be earnestly appealed
to his fellow citizens.to bo constantly on
their guard "against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence." That this .'insidious
influence" has already done much mis
chief in the country, is as palpably evi
dent, oven to the casual observer, as if
written on the heavens with a pencil of
sunbeams. An old lino "Jackson Dem
ocrat" of Virginia, in , a recent letter to the
people of that State, thus shows what for
eign influence has done in Congress, and
the great danger of that influence :
"If the ppinions• of Watiliingtan, and

Foreign influence is in our country a dan

men to "beware of the insidious wiles of
foreign influence." Foreign voters con•
trol our general elections, make Presidents
for us, 'furnish. foreign representatives for
our country abroad, take up our public
domain that should bo reserved for the
native-born citizens of our land, and lake
meat and bread from the mouths of the A
merican mechanics and laborers. This
foreign influence has been in ma - Wearies
felt, and deeply felt, in American legisla
tion. It is to the great and con waling pow •
er of the foreign vote that We owe that
most iniquitous measure, the homestead
bill, which proposed to parcel out that
great common inheritance of American
freemen, the public lands, to the paupers.
and escaped convicts of foreign countries.
To the same source may wq , trace
that most extraordinary and indefensible
provision of the Nebraska Hill, which al
lows the foreigner, bower worthless, tho'
he be pauper and convict, before, perhaps,
lie can speak one word of our language,
the first moment he puts his foot on Kan
sas Os Nebraska soil, to go up to the Amer
lean ballot.hox and offset the vote of the
native-horn citizen!'
The Pittsburg Times remarks that in
addition to the above, it might be said that
the influence of foreign adventurers among
us got the Pierce Democracy pledged to a
war with Spain and Austria, and that I
rish Catholic adventurers are ever on the
alert, trying to provoke a disastrous war
between our country and England. No
thing that Foreigners ask is denied by the
Democracy, whilst Americans encounter
vetoes everywhere. Witness Pierce's
giving Santa Anna ten millions for a nar
row strip of barren land that was already
ours, nod afterwards re.turuing the French
Spoliation bill, because the claimants-un
der it are old American citizens. Witness
his readiness to surrender our whole pub
lic domain to foreign emigrants, whilst re
turning a bill giving,tirily ten million acres
to be used to ameliorate the condition of
the American insane, Beware of foreign
influence, said Geo. Washington 1 Lathe
people heed his warnings.
THE AUGUST ELECTIONS.—Two
States—Tennessee sud Georgia--held their
general elections yesterday. In Tennessee
a Governor, ten members of Congress. and
members of the Legislature, were to be e
lected. Johnson, the present incumbent,
(who at the last election had a majority of
2,258,) is the democratic candidate for
Governor, and. Gentry, the American can
didate. The latter, at last accounts, was
confined to his bed with dysentery, and
Governor Johnson had iu consequence
suspended the canvass. In North Car
olina the election was for members of Con
gross and of the State Legislature only.—
On Monday next elections will be held in
Kentucky, Alabama and Texas, for Gov
ernor, members of Congress and members
of the Legislature. In all these States the
political lines are drawn between the Amer
ican and democratic parties, no other nom

A SUGGESTION TO _ANTI-AMEIL.
ICANS.—The Newark Eagle justly ,
marks that there is ono thing which the
anti-Atnerican organs should remember.—
They should remember that in all 'their
violent denunciation and vituperation of
the American party, they are denouncing
and vituperating a large majority of all
the people reared in the United States.—
They should bear in wind ) that when they
call the members of the American party,
"bats," "owls," "liars," "perjurers, "
"traitors," 'cowards" and "villains," they
are applying those terms to by far the
greater portion of the sons of the soil of
this country.

MEssus."Emvous :—The recent slave-hunt
iu our neighborhood has raised a feeling in
my mind which, like tire pent up, seeks relief
in disclosure. I shall therefore offer no other
apology for desiring the attention of the read
ers of your valuable paper to a ft-w remarks
and suggestions ; for the subject concerns all.
Shall the slave-hunter invade our homes,
spread horror around our-hearth-stones, and
pierce Our hearts winillfettony in the prosecu
tion of his nefarious business ? Ir the slave
holding despotism in our country has grown
so strong as to usurp our natural and consti
tutional rights, let us take a firm stand against
it, and with a decided, unconquerable effort
burst its coils from around us. Let us leave
to our children, nt least, the possession of the
inalienable rights we received from our Attics
tors. They, through peril and suffering, (which
we at this day can hardly appreciate,) trans
mitted to us a Freedom unknown in any other
land. Could they behold from their eternal
resting place, how their labors are disregarded
and their self-sacrificing spirit turned from,
'Touren, if it were possible, would weep over
the downviard course of man. It is time for
every friend of liberty to throw aside all minor
considerations. It is time, my conntrynten,
by whatever name you may be culled, to throw
aloft the ensign of "Liberty, religious and civ
il," and with firm resolve, sacrifice time, and
ease, to cause it to float over every dwelling in
our wide-spread land—yes, resolve to live and
die by it.
We are told that our predecessors gave us
this cup, the dregs of which are now so bitter.
It is true, they handed us the cup; but they
had drained it as much as the light and cir
cumstances of their day would adMit of. They
cut off several of the monster's heads, and de
creed that it should not be fed with more terri
tory, and, supposing it would die, contented
themselves with individual and State emancipa
tion as far us they could accomplish it ;—then
paused to rest, in the enjoyment of the freest
and must Christian government among .men.
The heart of the patriot rejoiced, and from
souls set free, arose, in sweet chorus, the an
them of thanksgiving to the author of every
good and perfect gift. Alas! how changed
The cry of help! help I from the suffering
and fleeing bondsman, pierces our souls—lint
how can we help? if a U: 8. Meer stands
before us, the minister of a wicked law, and
reads in our hearing a document he may him

the suffering, fleeing victim, every energy of
whOse soul is strained to its utmost tension—
but his soul destroyer, and help ourselves into

But the bitterness of this law is not the dregs
loft in the cup by those who framed our govern
ment. It is a mixture prepared for thedyspep.
tie stomach of the nation, by the Compromise
doctors of 1850. Some say it is only the re
enactment or the law -of '93. If that law cot , -
°tied the ground of this, why.was this one de
sired ? If it had been so, this never had been
passed. The law of '93 so far favort4l freed
om, that it was found of little benefit to those
who defraud their brothers of their bodies, and
the liberty of their souls, when the State laws
wore removed from around it. 'What shall, e
do,then? Re-enact the Missouri CoMpromise ?
Not that,was an unrighteoua agregment, and
the first engulfing stride of slavery. It deliv
ered over to the vilest syatem of wickedness,
that the aui ever" shone upon, pillions of acres
of our fair Territory. .
What Audi we do, then ? — Be.enact . a low`
similar to that of 'B7, excluding Slavery from
ALL our territory yet free from its - bliglidni
touch. That ordinance was worthy of the men
of those days—such 'men as Franklin, Jay,
Adams, Jetfersoni and Washington: Let us,
then, throw aloft the banner, that, "henceforth
and forever Shivery shall be excluded from ALL
territory belonging to the United States."

Our informant, who was in the court

The building appeared to him to be com

thoughts, however, the nature of the oc

and lie and the other persons 'ran out at

the screams of some. ladies on the Other

sad calamity had resulted, and on reach

of the calamity was visible to all. Stretch.

The Prim tytown Gazette, published
where the occurrence took placesayr :
The electricity ran down the iron. wall
of the house—at some paints forcing out
bricks, and .1t others only separating the
walls and driving out the cement. ln the
oerth-west room, up stairs, Major J. C.
Fleming, 'Julie W. Monroe, George
Fleming and John W. Sins& were ih bu
siness. Ths electricity passed down the
wall hear them very much stunning and
injuring the two last named gentlemen.—
Considerable damage was done to the
cuiliog of this room. Fuming down the
wall it broke out at differemt points.
The Virginian has also the following
account of a miracutous escape from death
in Taylor county a few daysyrevious to '
the above occurrence :
Mr. Alexander Williamson end four of
his children were binding wheat on Fri
day last some three hundred yards from
his house. A cloud was fast rising.--
His eldest son was some thirty-live yards
from his father; the rest a little nearer.—
When the I;glitning struck, they were all
prostrated. Sirs. Williamson saw them
all clown, from the lmuse, and started for
the field as fast as possible. By the time
she arrived, the childreo were . up. Mr.
W. lay apparently dead. She sent to the
house for camphor. and bathed him a con-
Mderable while before any appearance of
life returned. He was struck on the right
shoulder.. The lightning ran down his
arms to his fingers,and down his right side,
divided near the hipone part rutmiug across
the abdomen and down both thighs and
legs to the toes, scorching all the hair off
his body, and burning the skin and flesh
from the shoulder. to the toes. rice right
sleeve of the shirt and the right aide of the
shirt body was torn all into small pecies.
The pacts though newly Bared , were bad
ly torn in divers places. He had on a
swung pair of coarse boots; the left boot
was badly torn, and the right one was
torn to pieces. even bursting the soles and
heels asunder, drawing the large pegs with
which they were made. After passing
'through on either side of where his feet
stood the lightning struck in lour places in
the ground, leaving holee resembling those
`punched .with a hand spike. Yet, strange
SO tell, Mr. Williamson still lives. He
was thoroughly drenched by the rain after
being proetrated,,which probably accounts
for his .'recovery.
