-t BT-.S. B. ROW. Tn E BLOODY LAWS OF KANSAS. Freedom of speech and freedom of the Press rc guaranteed by the Constitution. The Lo cofoco leaders claim that they wish to sustain the Constitution. Below we give one of the acts of "the bloody code of Kansas." It in fringes upon both the above constitutional rights. And yet Mr. Buchanan and the De mocracy are bound to uphold these laws, which tho Aahonal Intelligencer says "are a disgrace to the country and its free institntions, and a greater invasion of public liberty than were the acts which brought the head of Charles I. to the block." The Administration have or dered the entire disposable force of the Army there, to aid "the Border Ruffians and Slaverv propagandists to enforce these laws at the point of the bayonet, and never to cease nntil the Free State Settlers are exterminated by the employment at once of all the power and vigor of the military and the Southern marau ders in that region. The following law was passed by the Border Ruffian Legislature, and is now being enforced upon the doomed people of Kansas at the ' point of the bayonet by the United States troops.

Attest, B UCII AN AX AND LOW WAGES On the 22nd January 1840, Mr. Buchanan made a speech in the United States' Senate, (viae Congressional Globe, for Jan. 1810, pp. 13-3-6, or Niles' Register vols. 07 and 68,) in which the following passages occur: "In Germany, where the currenov is nnreU- iuc cost oi everything is reduc ed to a hard money standard, a pieco of broad- cioui can De manufactured for fifty dollars.the manufacture of w hich, in our country from the expansion of paper currency would cost one hundred dollars. What is the consequence ? The foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country and sells it for a hundred. Does not every person per ceive that the redundancy of our currency is equal to a premium of one hundred per cent, in layor of the manufacturer. "No tariff of protection, unless it amounted to prohibition, could counteract these advan tages in favor of foreign manufactures. I would to heaven that I could arouse the atten tion of every manufacturer of tho nation to this important subject. What is the reason that, with all these ad vantages and with tho protective duties which our laws afford to tho domestic manufacture of cotton, we cannot obtain exclusive possession of the homo market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world ? It is simply because we nianufacture at the nominal prices of our own inflated currency, and are compel led to sell at the real. prices of other nations. REDUCE OCR NOMINAL TO THE REAL STANDARD OF PRICES THROIGUOIT THE WORLD, AND TOU COV ER OI R COUNTRY WITH BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS.

Having thus given Mr. Buchanan's own smooth and polished language, let us see what is the meaning of it in plain English, w hen be says "reduce our nominal standard of prices it . . . . turougnom tne whoio world, and you cover the country with blessings and benefits." Now, what did Mr. Buchanan mean by this language, if he meant anything, but that our standard of prices should be reduced to that of the hard money currency of Europe J And what is the European standard then, to which he desired our own to be reduced T Accord ing to the best authorities on that subject, Porter's Progress and Wade's History of the Middle and Working Classes two recent pub lication's, containing statistics collected by the British Government, the standard of pri ces for labor in Europe, is as follows : Wages in France.

Nor could one who had 3 children aged 12 years and upwards, all working at the loom as well as himself, with his wife employ ed doing up the work, earn in the whole more than $1 weekly." These are facts which speak for themselves. This is the doctrine of James Buchanan, in 1810. Ten cents is about the average stand ard of European labor.

THE LOVE THAT LASTS. 'Tis not a flower of instant growth ; But from an unexpected germ, That lay within the hearts of both, Assumes its everlasting form. As dainty buds among the grass, With the satne green do silent grow, or maids nor boys that laughing pass, Can tell if they bo flowers or no Till on some genial morn in May, Their timid, modest leaflets rise, Disclosing beauties to the day, That strike tho gazer with surpriso So soft, so sweet, so mild, so holy, So cheerful in obscured shade. So unpretending, meek and lowly, And yet the pride of each green glade. So love doth spring, go love doth grow, If it be such as never dicn. The bud just opens here below, Tho flo wer blooms on in paradise. IIARLTO.VS FIRST WIFE. BT LINNA LINWOOD. "I don't think Harlton and Alice Lee will ever marry," said my friend to ma the other day. "Harlton, so well educated, so refined in his manners, so noble and generous, and so handsome ! Can you believe he would think of wedding a poor forlorn girl, a sewing girl in his father's family 1 I tell you 'tis all moonshine ; when Harlton marries, it will be one with beauty and wealth, his equal," and Kate's dark eyes flashed, and her check flush ed as she spoke. "A queenly beauty, a Clcopatrass beauty you mean that dark flushing beauty which car ries a heart by storm. Oh, Kate! because Alice is not so sparklingly beautiful as your own proud self, don't call her plain. Did you ever see softer, brighter golden hair waving over a faiTcr, burcr brow Did you ever see eyes so clear, so' laughing, so loving in their gaze; or a rouudor cheek, or a prettier rosy mouth, or a more graceful form ? Did you ever hear a laugh that was merrier, or a step lighter than Alico Lee's ? "Now," I continued mischievously, "do you suppose Harry would rather win this little sunbeam, or the flash of lightning. You say 'tis moon-shine, but I think it will be sunshine if ever Harry and Alice wed." "Well, perhaps so," said Kate with a sigh iuy part 1 wouldn't exchange places with her." "Do you know the reason, Kate ?" - "There, don't trouble mo ; you are such a quiz and Kate arose and took a seat at tho opposite side of the room, and tve changed the subject. I think I never witnessed a more joyous bridal than that of Harry Harlton and Alice Lee. Sweet Alice ! how happy she was, with her noblcfsouled, high minded husband how she loved, yes, almost worshipped him. It was, perhaps, wroug, yet that joyousness sub sided to a calm and quiet peacefulness a strong, firm and unshaken love and confidence in the one of her choice. 11 was a pretty nu;e cottage, with vines climbing over the lattico and over the win dows. That was Alice's home after her mar riage. Alice, as was before noticed, was pen niless, and her husband was not wealthy ; so with one servant to aid them in their garden, Alice attended to the household duties, while Harlton was away at his office ; and when night came, there was always a bright happy face to welcome him, and charming, loving words to greet him. O ! those days ! they pasaed away. "They parted as the waves glido on ; they died as stars go down." There is a little grove, with.a pretty white fence around it a plain, white marble slab, with simply "Alico Harl ton, aged nineteen," engraved thereon. She died young. It is such the good Father calls home, ever surrounded by love and tenderness perhaps to show us how vain it is to place our affections here. Poor Harlton ! he wandered a broken spirit ed man. There stood the little cottage. An other summer had come on. Tho vines clam bered again over the window where Alice a year before would wait bis return. How lone ly, how disconsolate ! Thcro was no joyous face to smile a welcome ; there was no soft melodious voice to beguile the evening hours away. For a while be gave up to solitude and sorrow ; then came forth into the world's gay ities, as if to drown in mirth the deep heart sorrows. It was a beautiful evening. I sat alone in my room, and I coniess my thoughts were sad thoughts of the loved and lost came to miud, and the pure sweet image of Alice was among them. The- door was suddenly thrown open, and the sparkling, beautiful. Kate entered. She smiled gaily, yet came, I thought, more iruntly than usual, and seated herself by my Ic. You will be surprised, Mary dear," she saiv iwhen I tell you my errand. I wish you to lRnv i,rjdesmaid." v then are going to be married," I ex claimcCjooking at her dark eycs She ot answered by a langh, then replied soberly, g0;ng to wed tho only man I ever loved-.Tarrv Harlton." I was strn. dumb with astonishment. I had no answer gVC At iast i aid : "And when ? "In two weeks. you must be sure and. not disappoint me. lme see tj,js j9 Thursday. Come put on your et) and go with mo shopping- We will soct our dresses n(i take i them to the tnarjtua-tcrs that ther may be I done in time. - They were married, the stricken man and the beautiful Kate, w hose father being wealthy gavo them a handsome residence, and the cot tago passed into other hands. The furniture of the cot was sold, and only a few articles re mained that spoke of Alice. Those the jeal ous-hearted Kate put out of sight with great care, and the loving, smiling faco of Alice's picture was turned next to the wall in an un occupied room, and the little gifts which she had mado for Harry w ith her own hands, were locked up tightly out of sight, as she said to take good care of them. Poor Harlton ! ho could not speak the name of Alice, but the bitter, scornful voice of Kate would reproach him and taunt him for bis words ; he could not wander up stairs and look at the little hidden picture, for the eagle eye of Kato followed him. He could whisper of her in his dreams, and smile as her image came across his imagination, yet a week of scornful displeasure from his wife was the pen alty. At this state of sadness and misery he sought in the wine cup that forgetfulness he could not obtain elsewhere, yet his memory returued, and again he sought its sparkling brim to drown his recollection. And poverty came, slowly creeping on. The splendid mansion was sold, drinking and gambling did it ; and only until wretchedness and bodily misery aroused him, did he awake to his degraded situation. Kate's father had refused to aid him, but urged his daughter to leave her husband, and again return to her childhood's home ; yet the proud woman who , bad been the means of all this misery, scorn-! cd to leave her husband in the hour of his ad versity. Watching over him tenderly by night, working for his support by day, long weeks and months passed on. Oh, Kate ! what had jealousy to the loved and lost done for thee. 'What a pity! what a shame! That was the husband of sweet Alico Lee !" The remark reached his ear j it stung him to the heart. He was on the way to cne of his drunken revels, yet he paused and looked with wonder and astonishment around him. And th.it nnmn xvith it panielhc little cottage, and ue cursca me spirit of intemperance, and in his heart, by the name of his sainted wife, he resolved to begin anew, and again be a man. There is a little cottacre where the vinos clambered, and the birds sung many years ago. There is an old geutleman and lady, and they are called grand-pa and grand-ma by many of the little ones of the village. The old man, with his thin, white locks, still bears the tra ces of manly strength, and noble-beartedness ; while his wife's eye is dark and lustrous, yet softened by the trials of years, and with a world of lovo and tenderness mirrored forth in ner even now bcautilul face. It is Mr. and Mrs. Harlton, treading happily the rough jou ncy ot life, strewing their way with deeds of lovo and kindness. There arc two pictures hanging, side by side: over the mantle-piece of the little old-fash ioncd parlor ; beneath them is a gilded scroll with the incription fancifully penned in Kate own hand The Two Brides. One with the soft loving blue eyes and sweet smile, will be recognized as Alice, and the other, with its dark, queenly beauty, is Kate. "I have told the tale as it was told to me." Perhaps there is a moral ; if so, ttie object o tho writer is gained. 'It is not much the world can givo, With nil its subtlo art; And gold and gems are not the thing To satisfy the heart. But. oh ! if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth, Have loving words and happy smiles, How beautiful is earth. The Democract. A Buchanan Club has been formed in oar Borough, and a gentleman who attended one of their meetings informed us that there were present 41 persons, 3 of them boys, 8 native born Americans. SO for clgners, 22 of those being Catholics. Now, here we have an illustration right at home of what the Democratic party is composed of, and how the leaders manage tho foreign voters; furnishing unmistakable evidence of the fact there is a leage or understanding between them, such as that of 1S-32, when James Campbell was made Post-master General in considera tion, as every body believes, ol the Catholic vote then cast for Mr. Pierce. And yet in the face of these facts, these same leaders, whilst gathering iu one body the foreign Catholic vo ters to secure their suffrages for Buchanan are endeavoring to create the impression that Col. Fremont is a Catholic, thinking thereby to gain over Americans to their own candidate. Indiana (Pa.) Ilegister. Gen. John N. Pcrviance.

COL. J. C. FREMONT. James Buchanan testifying in hit favor From the 2Ven? Fori- Tnhnne. Wo have cansht the old rat at last ! AYc have him secured in the square jaws of a steel trap, with a firm, safe, stiff spring, so that he cannot get away. He would gladly pull off his tail, or gnaw off a paw even, as many of his raco have done, to escape, if that was all that held him. But, fortunately, the jaws are clos ed fixedly around his neck, and the old rat cannot get away. in the irtbune of to-day our readers will fiud James Eichanan squarely out in favor of John C. Fremont ! They w ill read with deep interest what the hoary-headed libeller of to day said about the gallant and dashing young hero who is now his antagonist, four years ago, when he bad no motive to speak anything but the bare, simple, naked truth. In 18o2, Col. Fremont was arrested in Lon don for debts which ho had contracted in his official capacity as Governor of California in the service of tho United States. The Court of Exchequer appointed a Commission in tho United States to take testimony in this case. Tho first witness before that Commission was James Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan, at the time the services which he testifies to were rendered to the country by loi. r rcmont, was Secretary of State. Of course ho occupied the very best position to judge accurately of the value of CoI.Fremont's services, and of the nature and character of all his official transactions. At the period when Mr. Buchanan's deosi- tion was taken he had withdrawn from office, and was living in retirement at Wheatland, spending his time in a manner particularly ap propriate to his advanced years, in meditation upon his past sins, and in solemn reflection npon his accountability to the higher tribunal. He had no occupation, and his whole time was given to repentance and self examination; with the aid of the Presbyterian and Quaker lights by which he was surrounded. Under these circumstances, with tho oath of God up on bis lips, James Buchanan then testified, verbatim as follows : " orexicoi'e-J.hc.dcn'lant, was in Cali- " a battalion of California Volunteers," consis " ting of about four hundred men; bis servi " ces were valuable ; he bore a conspicuous part " in the conquest of California, and, in tny opin " ton, is better entitled to be called the 'Conquer " or of California' than any other man." It is well known and understood that Sena tor Bigler of Pennsylvania has recently given extensive circulation to low and grovelling slanders about the forage and other necessaries furnished to bis troops in California, by Col. Fremont ; and it is believed that in this dirty work he has been prompted by James Buchan an himself. Now see what Mr. Buchanan, in his deposition, swore to ; "Idokno-c that inch supplies were necessary -jut i.'je jorces unaer me command of the de "fcndeut, and that no appropriation had been made by Congress to pay for theie supplies. " Congress could not have anticipated thatCol. " Fremont would raise a California battalion " by bis own personal exertions, and without previous instructions." Furthermore, such was bis confidence inCol. Fremont, and so thorough was his knowledge of the transactions in California, that he would have paid the drafts himself had he had any funds, notwithstanding they might more properly have been drawn upon the Secretary of War! Ihese are his own words : "I should hare accepted and paid these bills, "from my general knowledge of the transactions tn California, had Congress appropriated any " money, and placed it at my disposal, which " cottf be applied to their payment, though it " would have been more correct to have drawn " these bills on the Secretary of War." All, therefore, which for clectionacring pur poses has been charged as wrong on the part of Col.' Fremont, was sanctioned by Mr. Bu chanan Thus it is, in the mysterious order ings of Providence, and with the exercise of judicious enterprise, that we are enabled to blister with his own previous words, the tongue of the sland -rer. . ONE AND THE SAME. Some Democrats say that they never again would vote for Franklin Pierce ; but thoy hopo better things of James Buchanan, because he is a new man. Let them pause before they come to such a conclusion. It is all one con cern. Buchanan says he goes for the Cincin nati Platform, which endorses Pierce and his policy. Here is one of the resolutions adop ted by that Convention : 'rtesoivea, that tho Administration of t ranklin Pierce has been true to Democratic principles, and therefore true to the great in terest of the country ; in the faoe of violent opposition he has maintained the Laws at home, and vindicated the rights of American citizens abroad; and therefore we proclaim Co"orR unqualified admiration of his mea sures and policy." Franklin Pierce himself thus speaks of Bu chanan's nomination, from which it appears that the whole concern is all of one piece : 'I congratulate vou that voiir e hoica has fallen on a man who stands on the identical rLATFORM that I occcpr, and that he will take the same with the standard lowered never an nch!" A vote for James Buchanan is, therefore, a vote for the continuance of the policy of Fran,k lln' Pierce. : How can any man conscieutious- H- nnnnsod tn thxt d&nrnn l , t I tho election of Jtmet Buchacan t VOL. 3.-AT0. 8. STILL COMING OVEE TO FBEMOKT. The ranks of the "CONQUEROR OF CAL IFORNIA" are rapidly increasing in all di rections. The acquisitions are from the -humblest to the highest in position and influence. Amongst the thousands in this State who havo joined the ranks of Freedom lately arc the Hon John M. Read, District Attorney under Gen. Jackson ; Hon. Wm. M. Meredith, Sec retary of the Treasury under Gen. Taylor; Hon. Wm. J. Duane, Secretary of the Treas ury under Gen. Jackson ; and the Hon. Ed ward Coles, the intimate friend and confidant of Thomas Jefferson, of Philadelphia, and tho Hon. Samuel D. Ingham, of Bucks county, a Cabinet Officer of Gen. Jackson. These men are neither abolitionists nor disunionists. They entertain the most patriotic regard for both the Union aud Freedom of this Confed eracy ; but they despiso the vile threat of tho Slaveocracy, to dissolve the Union in the e vent of the election of Fremont; and they place their condemnation upon it by openly espousing tho cause of Freedom, and advocat ing bis election. Of Ingham, Coles and Du ane it may truly be said, "Thou shalt rise up before the hoary headed and honor the face of the old man." A cause ninst be sacred iu- deed which induces such men to coice from tho rctircmeirt of public life in old age and condemn the course pursued by the present leaders of tho party in which tliey have bceu battling for nearly half a century. Friends of . Clav! Remember I84I Ths Bloody Hand. Who of you that. were active in the ever memorable contest of J844, that do not remember that when Mr. Clay was candidate for tluj Presidency in 1844 James Buchanan and Gov. Bigler stumped the Stato of Pennsylvania in company, making Demo cratic speeches. Wherever they spokc.'Big- ler repeated the stale and oft refuted slander which Mr. Buchanan had stated against Mr. Clay, and Buchanan heard it and was silent. They both stood uuder a banner with a bloody hand painted upon it. Upon this banner were inscribed the words : "Henry Clay, the mur derer of the lamented Cilley !" And the Dem ocratic party have bow iu unblushing inipu- wMptJcvaiijjr nuuUjf-ttf ne nnDar- who of all others should be the last tas&'&a4 thing at the hands of the friends-of Mr. Clay, unless, indeed, it be that degree of supremo contempt and loathing, which words are not strong enough to define.

Phil'a Daily News. Getting Alarmed. The editor of tho Car olina 77ne.i,aDemocratic paper, says : "From private information which we have received, and in which we put great confidence, eman ating as it does from a source unbiased by par tizanship, we learn that the leaders of Democ racy are even now greatly alarmed for 1 ho suc cess of Buchanan and Breckinridge in Penn sylvania." A Washington correspondent of the South Carolinian, another Democratic pa per, says : "The news recently from the Nor thern States is very discouraging to the Dem ocratic party. I bhould not bo surprised if Fremont swept the North." They begin to. hear the beatings of the Northern heart. A crazy man was found riding on the cow catcher of the locomotive- on the arrival of a train of cars at Waukegan, Wis., on the 15tU inst., but how or where he got into tho posb, tion ho occupied was a mystery to every one. On attempting to remove him it was found that one of his legs was broken, but he mado no complaint, and would answer no questions maintaining complete silence, except when any one offered to touch a small box in which he had a small sum of money. Tho man was . taken chargo of by the officers of tho poor, and his wounds properly attended to. "William Bigler. This individual failing in his contemptiblo attempts to injnre Colonel Fremont by raking up accounts long since settled, is now bnsily engaged, it is said, in franking and sending over the State a pamph let containing a labored appeal for the election of Fillmore, and at the end of it a bitter at tack on the Union State Ticket. We think this effort will have as mnch effect as the beef '. story had in Iowa, Vermont and Maine Ex. The following will give an idea of the war in which Buchanan victories are gained on passenger trains. This one was taken in a railroad car, recently. A Bnohanan man arose from bis seat and called on 11 who were in fa vor of Fremont to "pull off their boots." No one seemed to relish this novel manner of ex hibiting their preference.
