Voters Don't forget to have yoursclvvs as
sessed at least ten days before the election.
The American State Council of Iowa asseni
Lied at Iowa Citv on the 4th, and resolved to
support FrcmoDt and Dayton.
Whilst at Lumber Cily on last Saturday eve
ning, vro took supper with Mr. L. D. Hile, who
had prepared it for the accommodation of those
attending the meeting, and we must say that
we have seldom partaken of a better meal or
one which we relished more heartily. May
Plenty always attend him.
hiMExsE Mkktixo. Tho Fremont meeting
at Pittsburgh on last Wednesday, was ono of
the greatest political demonstrations ever wit
nessed in this country. The Gazelle says
thare wro at least 10,000 ' procession, and it
Is estimated that 100,000 were on the ground
during the afternoon. The streets were con
stantly crowded. Among the speakers were
'assius M. Clay, of Kentucky, and Lt. Gov.
Roberts, of Kansas.

o'clock on Monday night, by an alarm ol fire.
Aroused from sleep, we hurried to the place

A Cos vocation, purporting to ba tho Na
tional Whig Party, assembled at Baltimore on
the 17th inst. It was but slinily attended, and
is looked vtpon as a farce, when it is known
that such men as John P. Sanderson, David P.
Erown, Ex-Gov. Graham,&c, were the promi
nent movers. It woul 1 bo a profanation of the
name, to call this a IVhig meeting. They a
doptod, as was to bg expected, resolutions in
lavor of Fillmore.
Disaster at Sea. Thc.6tcamerAsia brought
Intelligence of a collision between the Amer
ican ship 'Ocean Home' and the 'Cherubim.'
The former sank in 20 minutes, taking down
ajsyenty-scven passengers. The Cherubim was
but slightly damaged. The second mate, stew
ard ami four seamen of the Ocean Home got
into tho long boat, but their fate is doubtful
Tho Captain with 20 nisseneers and the crew
vrere landed at Plymouth.
Switzeiu.akp. Aa insurrection has taken
place in the canton of Xeufchatal. The Roy
alist or Prussian party seized possession of the
Chateau and arrested the Counsellor of State,
And hoisted the Prussian flag. The Federals
subsequently recaptured theChateau and town,
and arrested Count Pourtalist, tho Insurgent
leader. In the conflict, twelve Prussians were
killed.
Spais. The Cholera has disappeared from
Madrid, and but few cases are reported in olhs
er rarts of the country. Tha Cortes has been
dissolved by a royal decree, which was well re
ceived by tho people. Six of the Madrid news-
papers have been seized by order of tho Gov
ernment. Ministers have been appointed Dy
tho Government to China, Costa Rica and E
uador,but a new Minister to Mexico is not to
be appointed. It is reported that the Minis-
tars to Washington and Berlin are to be re
sailed.
The "Lases." The Chicago Tribune, in
answer to a puzzled inquirer, says z "There
are three Lanes, and each of them very unlike
either of the others. The first is Colonel J ames
II. Lino, the leader of the Free State men in
Kansas. The second is General Lane, Dele
gate in Congress from the territory of Oregon
who was the 'friend of Colonel Brooks in his
affair with Burlingame. Both these were for
racrly Democrats. The third is Henry S. Lane
of Indiana, an old Henry Clay Whig, and one
of the ablest stump speakers in the West. It
was he who presided over the Republican Con-
LATEST FROM KANSAS. ,
&t. Louis, bept.20. The steamer Polar Star,
from Kansas the 15th Inst., reports that Capt.
Robinson, with a company of 511 pro-slavery
men, attacked a free State force at Grasshop
per Falls on the 13th, killing two of their men
and capturing their provisions, ammunition
and horsrs. The next day Col. Harvey, with
200.Frcesoilers attacked Kobiason's force,
vfho had fortified themselves in a log house at
Hickory Point. After fighting two hours and
losing 12 men and having several wounded,
Col. Harvey proposed aji armistice of 30 days,
which was accepted. Capt. Robinson lost 3
men killed and had many wounded. Leaven
worth was deserted. Governor Geary was at
Lecomptou.
The Mayor of Wheeling, Ya., Alfred Cald
well, Esq., in a proclamation in the Wheeling
Times, warns tho mobocrrfts against disturb
ing the Republican meetings, and calls on
good citizens to aid the aity authorities in
quelling disturbances and punishing offenders.
Mr. Caldwell says it is the constitutional right
ot all citizens of Virginia to oppose "the pro
pagandation of slavery in the territories of the
United States," and 'jopes it shall not again
be said that "the right of freedom of discus
sion cannot be exercised in the city of Wheel
ing." A Fact. The Newport (Ky.) Daily Xeics
says : "Since tho result in Maine we have no
ticed a falling ofT in the disunion articles and
speeches at the South. The cry of "wolf"
has had so little effect thus far that they now
feel inclined to abandon it. It will avail them
very little. There are but few who imagine
how strong the Union really is. Those who
talk the loudest now of dissolution will be the
first to get into the traces after the election."
Axothee New Paper, The first number of
"Porter's Spirit of the Times," a new sporting
paper has been received. It is edited by Wm.
T. Poster, whoso name is "as familiar as
household words" to every gentleman in the
Union, who delights in field sports, and man
ly exercises. The new paper is got up in the
best style of the art, and will commend itself
to the readers of the old "Sjiirit," as a friend
with whom they have spent many interesting
hours. The list of contributors embrace some
of the best writers in the country. As a lite
rary journal, the number before us gives evi
dence that there is much talent employed up
on its pages. Its editor has been in the har
ness for twenty-six years, and is entirely ac
quainted with tho wants of those for whom he
