It will not be denied that the generation of statesmen who made the Constitution knew bestniuit it meant. They understood ic be cause it was the work ot their hands ; and the policy which they adopted was certainly in accordance with is spirit and provisions. In regard to slavery their policy was very dis tinct. It may be stated in two sentences First, not to interfere with slavery in the States ; Secondly, to restrict its extension into the Territories. According to this policy, slavery was forbidden in all the vast territory northwest of the Ohio river, and the restric tion continued till that whole Territory was formed into five free States. In accordance with the same policy, the Mis.souri Compro mise forbid slavery in all that portion of Ter ritory purchased from France, which lies north of 3G deg. SO min. north latitude. The terri tory thns consecrated to freedom included Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and thence ex tending westward to the Pacific ocean, em braced also Washington Territory and Oregon. This is exactly the policy on that subject which we advocate. It is the ancient estab lished national rolicy introduced by Jefferson, and affirmed or sanctioned by our most emi nent statesmen, north and south, from the days of Washington down to the present generation. We wuh to adhere to the policy of "no inter- icrence with slavery in the States, and no ex tension of the evil into territory which has been consecrated to freedom." It is this pol icy that Mr. Fremont supports; and it is for this reason that his nomination has obtained such general favor. Besides this broad, national policy, there are two others, which arc sectional. One is that founded on the fanaticism of a small portion ol the North, which aims at interference with sla Tery in the States. This is the avowed object the simon-pure Abolitionists, who nominated Gerritt Smith as their candidate for the Pres idency. The other is the policy founded on the fanaticism of the South, which seeks to destroy ail restrictions against the extension of slavery into the Territory. This is the pol icy of the present miscalled Democratic party, with James Buchanan as theiKcandidate. Its proper n?me is the slavery-extension party It was through tho influence of this party that the Missouri Compromise was repealed, the Border Ruffian Invasion of Kansas legalized, and the people of that fair Territory conquered a&d oppressed. In a word, it is a party whoso leaders are under the complete control of Southern Disunionists and Slavery-extending fanatics. h uso the party organization for the purpose of promoting the extension of the "peculiar institution." Such are the positions of parties on the slavery question. OTJB CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. We have cheering accounts from other sec tions of the District in regard to the prospects of James S. MrEBS,Esq.,our candidate for Con gress. A friend of ours, writing from Brook--ville, says : "Oar best political calculators aet JeffersoiTcounty down at least at 300 ma jority for Col. Myers."

Within the last two weeks, the friends of Free American Principle, the Constitution and the Union, and who are opposed to tho policy of the present imbecile National Ad ministration and the election of James Buchan an to the Presidency, have been holding a number of spirited meetings in different sec tions of Clearfield county, viz : At Glen IIope, New "Washington, rennvillc, Newbnrg, Trout Run, Kylertown, Woodland and Lumber City. Theso meetings were all well attended, and manifested a determination on tho part of the freemen of this county to battle for right and justice. We are sorry that space will not permit ns to give extended notices of all these meetings. Our friends in this county are in high spir its, whilst the hopes of the Democracy are con siderably below zero, so much so indeed that they tremble foi tho safety of their party. It is, in fact, a life or death struggle with llicm, and it is but a short time since that a leading Democrat said to us, if tbey were beaten this Fall the Democratic party would cease to ex ist. This accounts for their incessant efforts to succeed. Tbey are fearful that their pro slavery, fillibuster ship will wreck on the shoals and quicksands that surround their track in the political ocean, and that they will be forced to take a trip in small craft to the head waters of Salt River after the October elec tion. Our own prospects are brightening more and more every day, and if we but use proper exertions, we will come out of the contest with victory inscribed upon our banners. Go to work, then, American Freemen. Battle for Right, Justice, and the cause of Freedom, "strike for your altar and jour fires ; Strike for tho green graves of your sires, I'orOod and your native land." Clearfield, Pa., Sept. 15th, 1856. Mr.Jaxes M. Kelly, President of the Clear field Co. Union Convention. After due consideration I hereby withdraw my name as one of the candidates for Associ ate Judge. There will still remain four can didates before the people for that office, viz : Mr. Bell who was nominated by your conven tion, Mr. Fulton who is a volunteer candidate and Messrs. Bonsall and Moore the nominees of the Buchanan party. This step has been taken as the best under all the circumstances, to promote that union which we desire, and which, I believe, is with in our reach. I hereby tender my thanks for the mark of confidence shown me by the Con vention, and assure you of my hearty support of the Union State, District, and County tick ets. They deserve support and have before them the prospect of great success. Uespcctrully, ace, Benjamix Spackmax.. "Lookeb-On." We have received a lengthy communication from the Union Club, at New Millport, this county, in relation to the state ments of "A Looker-On," in the last Republi can. The facts of the whole " matter are ex plicitly stated, from which it would seem that the Republican's correspondent did not pay a punctilious regard to candor. In fact, in the communication which we received, his state ments are pronounced false, and the conduct of some "lookers-on" presented in a very un enviable light. They were evidently exaspc rated at the truths uttered by the speaker, and at finding the meeting so large. and respecta ble. As the communication says, "they were disappointed, and did not bring their eggs out of their pockets until the meeting was over, and then they gave the seats lits. Ut a truth, by its fruits can we know the tree, and if it produces putrid fruit, it is self-evident that the tree is corrupt and evil. We find tho following intensely interesting paragraph in this week's Republican : "An Omisous Coiscidest. On last Thurs day the National men the friends of Buchan an an.d Breckenridge, the Constitution and the Lnion held a large mass meeting, and raised a splendid pole at the Cherry Tree. At the same hour a similar meeting and pole raising went otF at Salt Lick.

We mentioned incidentally in an article a few weeks since that Lloyd Garrison, a Dis unionist, favored Buchanan's election. We received our information from one of the most respectable, influential and well-known papers in the State, and we have as yet seen nothing reliable to the contrary, though the astute edi tor of the Republican has undertaken to con tradict it. Anything our down-town "neigh bor" may say, will not, however, in the least invalidate the correctness of the statement, at least in this community where he is known to be one of the most unscrupulous politicians, and no ways troubled with the use of candor Axother Stbiso Broke. That "harp of a thousand strings" played on so pertinacious ly to persuade Mr. Fremont that he must be a Catholic, whether he will or not, is likely soon to be broken all to bits. Among other stories was one that Rev. Michael Olivetti (an Italian prelate) had positively testified to Mr. Fre mont's. Catholicism. Now appears a letter from Mr. Olivetti himself, in which bo denies the whole story, and moreover adds : "The fact that he (Fremont) was married by a Cath olic priest, if such was the case, furnishes but little evidence that he was a Catholic. Cath olic clergymen often marry those who are not Catholics." This letter appears in the White hall (N.J.) Chronicle, of Aug. 28, Mr. Olivet ti being a resident of Whitehall. A corres pondent of the Cincinnati Time offers a wager that he will prove marriages of Protestants to ProtostanU. by Catholic clergymen- ' ' j !. r u.,. .nt hiniaerst I Jatfe-llfcKuOM the mmmmmmmu MEETING AT KYLEXTOWH.

We never witnessed more enthusiasm in any meeting ; in fact everybody wa3 astonished at the large number of people assembled. The truth is, the ball is in motion the People are moving, and we trust will continue so until those who are misruling the affairs cf our country are hnrlcd from power. The meeting was kept up until a little after 10 o'clock, when Benj.

They are themselves doing everything to destroy the Constitution and the Union and the peace of the people, by shooting some, pounding o- thcrs with hickory clubs in the Senate cham ber, hoisting the floodgates of destruction by taking up the Missouri Compromise, subvert ing the Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Ballot-box, and destroying innocent people's lives and proper ty, and then keep up the cry against their op ponents, charging the latter with the acts of which they are themselves guilty.

Joseph Bodinc, a graduate of the above school, and ex-constable of this district, an exemplary member of the Unterrified, and withal a person well calculated to enlighten his fellows, (over the left,) was to address the meeting. But, behold the end man proposes ! Mr. A.

At this moment, three deafening cheers for the Rocky Mountain candidate rang out on the night air, and, presto, the orator of the Invin- cibles, instead of displaying his rhetorical powers to the assembly, took to his heels, fol lowed by the faithful at the respectful dis tance of forty feet, retiring, as the darkey said to the tornado, in dis-gust.

Ryal, as is well known, entered the city and burned these iru promptu but costly barracks to the ground. When Congress assembled, the people who had thus suffered by the virtual act of the Gov ernment, applied for compensation to which they were clearly entitled by every considera tion of justice and honor. Mr. Buchanan vo ted against the bill granting this compensation. Yes, while the wives and children of these cit izens, as a direct consequence of the occuna tion of houses by the American soldiery, were trembling shelterless in the streets, and while the thunders of the victory of New Orleans, that would have kindled a glow of generosity in any heart not absolutely stockist), had yet scarcely aiea upon tne ear, James Buchanan sat in his seat like the cold statue he is. and voted No ! against this resistless appeal to jus tice ana humanity.

Church, and presiding Elder of a district in Kansas-1 Ma. Editor, Believing that many of your readers are anxious to hear how matters move with ns at present, and feeling an equal anxie ty to communicate any fact, that would con tribute to our aid, under the peculiar circum stances that now surround us. I sendyou the following. Public prints have been teeming with news about the wars, in Kansas, ever since last No vember; a portion of the time it. Las been truth but a part of the time there have been many exaggerated reports. But I am sorry to inform you that we now have war in good car nest on these beautiful plains. For more than two weeks everything has been in almost per fect commotion, and on every tongue, and in every circle, we can hear nothing but war ! war! war! Ever since last May many of the "Georgia Regulators," and "Border Ruffians," have been congregating in djfierent portions of the territory, building fortifications, fixing places of deposit for provisions, arms, and ammuni tion, and otherwiso exhibiting indications of war, or a campaign of some sort. These things continued to the 11th inst., to a great extent, unnoticed by the opposite party. But before that time, many of our friends had suik-red from the persons in these fortifications, in va rious ways. Horse-stealing, honss burning, and marauding of every kiud, and occasional ly the murder of some of our citizens. Eve ry means that could be, had been used, of a pacific character, until it was almost the unan imous declaration that ''these places must ba broken tip." There were some, however, that still entertained doubts as to the real charac ter and design of these depots, &c. Accordingly on the 10th inst., Majot Hoyt visited one of these dens. A prisoner that was then anong them, informs us that he was kindly received, and conducted through the several apartments, and was soon missing. The next day. he was found by some of our men not far from the fort, buried ia a shallow grave, in some brush. Some wagon tracks were followed from the grave to a honsj not distant. The man of the house was closely interrogated ; for a time be plead ignorance, but finally confessed that they had killed him there, and that he had buried h:ni. This greatly enraged many of the settlers, and Ihey determined to break up every one of these places they could find. Ou the 11th, 15th, and 10th inst., three of these fortifica tions were stormed, and they ail proved to be what they had been represented, and even worse. There were two of our men killed.one at the first, and one at the last; bow many on the opposito side I cannot tell; I ouly heard of two. Since that time the border counties of Miss.or.li have been in perfect commotion, and threats of the most savage nature have been made. Companies have como into the territory, stolen horses, pressed our men into their service, and frightened and alarmed our families. If I could stop with the above outrages, greatly would I r.-joicc ; but it is my painful dutv to announce a most wretched, deliberate, cooi-blooded ntnrder, that took place on the l'Jth inst. A gentleman by the name of Hopps, who had just arrived in the territory, and had taken no part in the troubles ia any way, was taking a buggy home in which he had brought his wite from the rf ver to his brother-in-law's, near this place. In that unarmed, unsuspect ing, and unprepared condition, ho was met by a man by the name of Fugct, who had just bet that he would "take a scalp before night." He asked Mr. II. but a question or two, and then shot him through the temple, took off his scalp, partially concealed the body, and made his escape to Leavenworth, where he exhibi ted the bloody scalp as evidence of his brave ry. This scene was witnessed by a lady and some children. A few minutes after, some cf the government teams came along, and the la dy conducted the wagon-master to the bleed ing body, the pulse still beating. I make no reflections ; I leave your readers to their own. Another man was killed a few days after the above, by the name of Jennison, Lut as I have not the tacts fully, I feel some, unwillingness to give flying reports. But one thing is evi-" dent, his only crime was going after a load of lumber, at Kansas City, and he was murdered at West Port, Mo., as he came back. Several of our men are now prisoners, and others, as I have intimated, have been pressed into their service. And one of our preachers,. J Brother Stines, told mc that he was qttite con fident that as many as two hundred horses had been stolen in and near the neighborhood where he lived. Brother Stines reached here this morning, just before daylight, having travel led all night, and he and nine others have gone to see the Governor, to pray for some as sistance in some way ; but we cannot look for much relief from that direction. Northern men have been arriving at the rate of more than one hundred a day. for the last four days. Every man in the territory, on the side of God and righteousness, no doubt will be at his place. But of course there are not enough to meet the hosts of "ruffians" from Missonri, and the numerous hordes of "Geor gia Regulators" from the South. Owing to the loss of horses, and the destruction of the crops, (as the Missourians just turn their hor ses right into the corn-fields, whenever it suits them,) there will be much suffering among the citizens. To yon, my dear brethren in the Lord Jesus Christ, that arc more highly favored, we ap peal. Certainly you have an interest at a throne of grace. We ask vou to irav for us. It is not reallv whether this shall be a frte or are frtate, but whether tre will be slaves, or not. iiod help us, as ministers, to live and do right all the time. I again say, Pray for us. And in every way that help is needed, certain ly good men will help us as far as they can. . Affectionately yours, . L. B. Denkis. Lirrenre, Kansas, Aug. 27, 1866.

The great truth of freedom is implanted in the human heart, and party organizations cannot crush it out. . . , . . - . Within a few d.iys past, we can number many men, in this section of the State, who have come out from party lies and declared them selves lor freedom. Others will follow, and it is difficult for any one to predict the change that will take place in favor of Republicanism before the November election. The masses are moving the workingmen arc moving tho true men and patriots of the country are mo ving for Fremont, . the champion of Liberty. But a few weeks ago, this section of Pennsyl vania bad scarcely a Republican organization; now they are everywhere ; in every village, in every township, and good and trne men have joiued in tho work. Every man feels the importance of the issues presented in the present contest between frevdom and slavery. Every man can understand this issue, and there is yet enough cf honor and honesty in the masses to chose the right side. Even hera in old Northampton, Republicanism, has a mighty foothold, and one that it will retain. Communications come to us from every sec tion, bringing good news of the advance of our cause. Men of all parties are aroused to a sense of their situation. The farmer leaves his plough, the mechanic his shop, And the scholar his study, as Ihey did in the days of the revolution, to strike another blow for free dom and for their country. The oppressed of Kansas are everywhere in otir land. They waik abroad to speak against the so-called Democracy of to-day. They stand up in their strength against slavery, and they will not fail." Tun Dkmocract Acksowleikjid to be vst Favor or the Extensiox or Slavery. Tho New York Day Book, a leading Buchanan or gan which tho Hunker journals of this State quota from more freely than from any other paper out of the State, states the position of the Democratic parSy in the following explicit language : "We hold r.ejro 'slavery' to be right, right -per se, right in itself, so the natnre and neces sity of things ; that while there are defects or imperfections of detail, as in everything elst, and in all human institutions there are perhaps no more evils connected with Southern socie ty than that at the North ; that negroes ar negroes, and not white men; aud, then-fore, tbo peculiar domestic institution of the South is no slavery at a',1 ; but, o:i the contrary, tho natural relation of the races, and the normal condition of society, whenever or wherever whites and nugroes are in juxtaposition. And we further hold that slavery extension, so cal led, or the froe, full and unembarrassed move ment of Southern population, or its perfect freedom of expansion, of emigration, of devel opment southward and tropicward, is absolute ly essential to tlu' peace, progress and safety of American civilization, and, indeed, to th j J very existence of the American Republic.
