SPEECH OT EX-GO V. iEEDES.
We take up a large portion of our paper thin
week with the speech of Ex-Go v. Keedcr, of
Kansas, delivered recertly at the Tabernacle,
Jew Tork. It is a plain', unvarnished state
ment of fact?, which should be well pondered
by every voter in the whole country. .We,
therefore, would ask every one, whether you
are an American, Republican, Democrac,Whig
or anything el6e, to read it it won't hurt vou.
WHAT DOES IT HEAN I
Under this head, the Lewistown Gazette
states that a couple individuals visited Mifflin
county, for the purpose of teaching Americans
now to vote, and advised a council that the
only course to pursue was to stick to Fillmore
or vote for Buchanan ! This comes up to what
we mentioned some weeks ago, that there are
individuals who, whilst pretcuding to be A
rucrienns, are r.cally for Buchanan, and are
acting thus hypocritically for the purpose of
betraying true men into the hands of their
Locofoco enemies. Bat, as our contemporary
remarks, "to show what a cringing animal any
honest American must be who would Vole for
Buchanan, we refer to his letter of acceptance
of the Cincinnati nomination, in which he
deemed only two subjects worthy of being no-ticed-Mhe
first being a denunciation of Amer
icanism, the second the slavery question.
Here are bis words :
" Xo party fonnded on religious or politi
cal intolerance towards one class of American
citizens,.whether born in our own or-in a for
eign land, can long continue to exist in this
country. We are all equal before God and
the Constitution, and the dare spirit of des
potism and bicotrt which would create odious
distinctions among our fellow-citizens, will be
speedily rebuked by a free and enlightened
public opinion.'
'OFOW what American, who has any respect
for himself, wTll bow his knee to the roan who
thu3 spurns him as a despot and a bigot ?
"What American will prove himself the fawn
ing sycophant by aiding in elevating to high
office the man who denounces him as every
thing base and mean J There might be some,
ignorant of Mr. B's repeated denunciations of
Americans, who might honestly imagine they
would not bo injuring their principles by vo
ting for him ; but with all conversant with his
course respecting them we can imagine of but
one ('influence" that could produce such a
hybrid, and what that is any of our readers can
guess."
For the Raftsman' Journal.
Agreeably to previous notice a meeting of
tho opponents of the "Border Ruffian" Dynas
ty, was this day held in Fox township, Elk
county, Pa., for the purpose of organizing a
Club for the successfull advocacy of free prin
ciples and Fremont in the present campaign.
The meeting organized by electing James
Iddixcs, Sr., President ; Jacob Taylor, Jonah
Rogers and Ilenry Gross, Vice Presidents and
Horace Little, Secretary.
A constitution was adopted and permanent
officers chosen.
On motion, lion. Ilenry Souther addressed
the meeting for about an hour, in one of his
best efforts; showing the true issues before
the country and the contemptible chicanery
resorted to by the 3uckaneers" to deceive
th people into the support of their candidates.
After Mr. Souther concluded, Col. II. A. Pat
tison gave us one of bis sarcastic speeches,
which tell with thrilling effect on the "Ruffi
an" crew. W. A. Xichols, Esq., of Ridgway,
then favored us with the "Jordan" song.
Voted that the- proceedings of this meeting
bo signed by the officers, and published in the
"Raftsman's Journal" and "M'Kean Citizen."
The meeting then adjourned to meet at the
same place, one week from to-day.

Latt.r prom California. The Committee
of Vigilance is still in session with an army of
5000 infantry, cavalry and artillery, ready to
act at a moment's warning. On the afternoon
of July 21th, Dr. Alex. Randall, an old resi
dent of this place, was shot in the bar-room of
the St. Nicholas Hotel, by Jos. Hctherington.
A difficulty had long existed between the par
ties in relation to a business transaction in
which llethcrington claimed that Randall had
defrauded him. They were both large opera
tors in real estate. . llethcrington made the
first assault, but they fired simultaneously ,and
exchanged five or six shots when Randall fell
mortally wounded. Several of the regular
police force attempted to arrest Iletherington,
but they were overpowered by the committee
police, who conveyed the prisoner to their
head-quarters. Randall died on the following
day, and Iletherington was tried by the Com
mittee Tribunal, and executed on July 2d.
Another prisoner in the hands of the Com
mittee, named Philander Brace, who had been
found guilty of murder, was hung on the same
day, and on the same scaffold with Ilethering
ton. The executions took place in a public
thoroughfare, and were witnessed by some
15,000 persons. Several thousand Committee
troops were under arms in the vicinity of the
gallows, and the street approaches were guar
ded by cannon. Brace died a hardened man,
using the grossest profanity on tho scaffold.
Judge Terry is still a prisoner, but as Hop
kins has recovered, it is doubtful what will be
done with him. This appears now to be the
chief difficulty in the way of tho disbandment
of the Committee, although it is asserted that
they have only begun their work.
Jack Williams, the murderer of Casper
Sheppard, last year, was executed at Moke
lumno, August 1st. He walked to the scaf
fold smoking a segar !
Holloway's Pills, unquestionably tho most
efficacious remedy in the Union for Asthmatic
complaints and Coughs. The number of cures
these wonderful Pills have effected in all parts
Union, more particularly in cases of Asthma
of long standing, and congbs, leave no doubt
npon the mind of all who have used them, that
they surpass any thing of the kind ever made
known; by aperssrerence with this admirable
remedy, the suflcrer is cruickly restored to
health, after every other means have failed:
and it is a truth beyond dispute, that there is
no case of billious disorder, or livcrcomplaints,
but that will quickly yield to the power of this
mighty medicine.
The St. Louis Intelligencer, in reviewing the
prospects of Mr. Buchanan, says: ''Buchanan
Is a doomed and defeated man.. As surely as
Cass was borne down and defeated in 1848, so
will Buchanan be defeated now. He will nev
er sit in the Presidential chair. Buchanan
will not get a single New England State. He
will lose N. York and Ohio by nearly 100,000
minority. His stronghold of Pennsylvania is
torn from him, and nothing is more certain
than his inglorious defeat in his own State. In
all tho Northwest. Buchanan is as dead as an
Egyptian mummy buried a thousand years ago.
He will not get a single State north of the O
hio river or west of the lakes. He will be o
verwhelmingly defeated in the Northwest.
His own partizans there feel it and know it."
The Union county, Pa., Star, one of Mr.
Fillmore's organs, says it has been undeceived
by the recent elections in regard to Mr. Fill
more's strength at the South, and as the con
test is narrowing down to Fremont and Free
dom, or Buchanan and Slavery, it will not
sanction the attitude of Mr. Fillmore in the
present struggle, but will go for Fremont.
The Republicans of Sanilac county, Michi
gan, have found a notable mod a of saving trou
ble. They have adopted the entire Democra
tic organization of the county. Every man
on the county committee, and on the township
committees of the old Democratic organiza
tion, is now a thorough Fremont man ; so they
just "ivvr 'eh be." Detroit Advertiser.
Vermost Election. The recent election in
Vermont resulted in the Republicans carrying
tho State, by a majority of from 20,000, to
2-3,000. This is a large gain over the majority
of 1852, when the vote of Scott and Hale com
bined, amounted to a majority of 17,000 over
Pierce.
It is stated that George W. Yonngman, Ca
leb N. Taylor, S. E. Daffield and J. Wells,
all Fillmore electors in Pennsylvania, have
come out for Fremont. 'The last named indi
vidual spoke before the Fremont Club of
Waynesburg, on the 15th ult.
Not a Catholic paper in tho country sup
ports Fremont for President. They all sup
port James Buchanan.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
WHY AKE AVE SICK t
IT has been the lot of the human race to be weigh
ed down bv disease and suffering. HOLLO-
WAY'S PILLS arc specially adapted to the relic
of the WEAK, the NERVOUS, the I'ELICATE.
and tho INFIRM, of all climes. ags, seres', and
constitutions. Professor HoIloWay personally su
perintends tne manufacture ol his medicines in the
United States, and offers them to a free and enlight
ened people, as the best remedy the world ever
saw for the removal of disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.,
These famous Tills are expressly combined to op
erate on the stomach, the liver, the kidrteys, tha
lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting any do'
ratigenient in their functions, purifying the blood,
the very fountain of life, and thus curing discus
in all its forms.
DISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken theso
Pills. It has been proved in all parts of the world,
that nothing has been found eaual to them in eases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy
lone to in e?e organs, nowever much deranged, aad
when all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have of
pened their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may becomo the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this
medicine is the beet remedy ever known- for per
sons f delicate health, or where the system hali
been impaired, as its invigorating properties nevot
fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should be without this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates tho
monthly courses at all periods, acting in many ca
ses like a charm. It is also the best and safest
medicine that can be given to Children of all ages,
and for any complaint; consequently no family
should be without it.
