THE CANDIDATES FOE CONGBESS. As the election is near at hand, it might be well enough for the people to inquire how the candidates for Congress in this District stand on the- question of admitting new States with tree or slave constitutions. So lar as our can didate, Col. James S. Myers, is concerned, we have personal knowledge that he is opposed to the extension of slavery into territory conse crated to freedom, and is consequently in favor of making Kansas a free State. He is per fectly sound on this, as well as every other question, and as he is that "noblest work of God," aii honest man, and is possessed of any amount of "backbone.'we can assure the vo ters of the district that they can rely upon him in all emergencies. - The Democratic candidate is lion. James L. Gillis. What position lie occupies on this question, as we have no other means at hand to guide "us, we must ascertain from tho ac tions of the party who nominated him. The present member, lion. David Barclay, was cast overboard, by them, for doing what T For vo ting to admit Kansas with the Topeka or Free constitution 1 That is the unpardonable sin, for which he was rejected. Is it not fair, then, to infer that the man whom they nominated occupies just the reverse position that he is opposed to admitting Kansas with the Topeka or Free constitution 7 AVe think so; but be sides this, the body which nominated him a doptcd a resolution in which they "endorse r.nd approve the platform of principles laid down by the Democratic National Convention, Iield at Cincinnati." ATith these facts boforo Iiini, no voter will be at a loss to know how the candidates stand, or how he shall vote. THE OCTOBEB ELECTION. Before two weeks more shall have elapsed, the election in this State will be over. It takes place on Tuesday tho 14th day of Oeto lcr. The immense bearing which tnis elec tion will have on the Presidential election, renders it of the greatest importance that the opposition should poll every vote. Let all who desire the defeat of the old gentleman who has embodied himself in tho Cincinnati Platform, bear in mind that the sure and only way to bring about such a result is to turn out to a man, on the second Tuesday of October, and vote for -the Union State Ticket. If tho Locofocos are not successful at the October , election, there will be little hope of them car rying the State for Buchanan in Novemlier. It therefore behooves every man to go to work and labor zealously for the success of TnoMAS K.. CocHBAjf, for Canal Commissioner, Darwin Phelps, for Auditor General, and Bartholo mew Lapobtf., for Surveyor General. Let no lies which Locofocoistn can inveut induce you to withdraw your support from either o( the Union candidates. They are all well qualified to fill the importaut posts for which they have been placed in nomination, and arc well wor thy the support of all persons who fool an in terest in the future welfare of our good old Commonwealth. We therefore make an ear nest appeal to all our readers to prepare for the October election. Take measures to have ev ery vote out in each town and township, and roll up such majorities as will carry dismay into the ranks of the Buchanan party. Let nothing prevent your attendance at the polls. Kain or shine, be on the election ground on tho second Tuesday of October next. Belle font e Whig. "Kassas.

UWilUil, Pursuant to notice, a large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends' or Fremont and Dav ton assembled at Centre vi lie, Elk Co.. on Sat urday, Sept. 20th, to raise a pole and discuss the issues of the present canvass. After the pole was raised, the meeting organized by ap pointing B. I. Little. Eq., chaiiman, J. It. Hancock, Elijah Meredith, Jacob Taylor and Elijah Baon, Vice Presidents, and Geo. Tay lor and Charles McVean, Secretaries. On motion or George Taylor, Esq., a com mittee of five whs appointed by the chair to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, viz : Albert Willis, R. C. Winslow, Israel Chamberlain, Wm. A. Nichols and John Campbell. On motion of II. Little, I. G. Gor don, Esq., addressed the meeting. . He show ed what was Jeffersonian Democracy and what is modern Sham Democracy, tracing the lat ter down to the smallest point imaginable, un til It was entirely lost as to principle in its truckling subserviency to the South, and show ed clearly and conclnsively the necessity of a thorough reform and the election of Fremont and Dayton. He closed amid tho deafening cheers of the crowd. . Mr. Souther being loudly called for, took the stand. He exposed the corruption of the pre sent National Administration and the wrongs and outrages perpetrated upon Kansas, exam ined the platform upon which Mr. Buchanan and Col. Fremont stand, showing clearly that all opposed to the extension of slavery into free territory should support the latter, while the election of Buchanan would undoubtedly make Kansas a Slave State. R. C. Winslow, on motion, addressed the meeting in an able and spirited manner,totally annihilating the arguments adduced to show that the Republican party was sectional, show ed the blighting influence of slavery, and ex horted the friends of freedom to arrest its fur ther aggressions. Mr. Willis, chairman on resolutions, report ed the following which were adopted : Resolved, That, in view of the manifold aggres sions of the slave oligarchy, as exhibited in the repeal of the Missouri compromise and the attempts now being made to extend the evil of slavery into the territory of Kansas, and to drive therefrom, by robbery, arson and murder, all who are in favor of making it a free State, (all of which have received and are receiving the countenanco and encourage ment of the present wicked National Administra tion and the corrupt politicians who framed the Cincinnati platform, nominated Buchanan and Breekcnridge and control the action of the so-call-cb Democratic party,) it is the duty of all friends of the constitution and the Union, without dis tinction of party, to unite at the coming election, and at the ballot box vindicate the rights of free men. Resolved, That in Fremont and Dayton, sending as they do upon a platform of freedom, broad e nnugh and strong enough to preserve the Constitu tion and the Union of the States, and, above all, the sacred righto they were intended to protect and perpetuate, we recognize worthy standard bearers, and will give them a cordial support. Resolved. That in Col. James S. Myers, the A merican Republican nominee for Congress in this District, we have a candidate who can be trusted a a fearless champion of free speech and free ter ritories, and that to him, as well as to all the can didates upon the Union State Ticket, we will give our efforts and our votes. The meeting was afterwards eloquently ad dressed by A. Willis, W. A. Nichols, and E. F. Taylor, Esq's. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed during the whole proceedings. A vote of thanks was given to the speakers, and the proceedings ordered to le published in the 'Raftsman's Journal,' 'M'KeanCitizen,' 'Jefferson Star,' and other papers favorable to the cause, when tho meeting adjourned with three hearty cheers. .
