far as they go) are identical with thue of

,The following expressions of senti
ment were adopted unanimourt at the
recent session of the Northumberland Bap

Slavery.

Intemperance.
" Abstain from all appearance of evil."
This injunction we deem peculiarly applica
ble to Christians, in promoting the Tempe
rance reform. The same principle, which
induced the Apostle Paul to ay, 'lf meat
make my broiher to offend, I will eat no &b
while the world siaodetn," shin Id induce eve
ry Cnrisiian and every friend of man tn abstain
entirely from the use, manufacture, or sale of

Whatever benefit mav be derived from ae.

Col. Fremont'! "Awful" "Ferocity"!
One of the Jlumfaiit I I
Perhaps the surest evidence of the des
perateness of the opposition to Fremont,
is the CROSS FALSEHOODS hatched
up against him. Ordinarily one of (he
most gentle and inoffensive men, against
whose spotless character not a word was
heard before his Nomination, yet now he
ia denounced aa all (hat is vile. Take as
a specimen the following from all the
Buchanan papers :
"Look on This ! A door-way in the
Senate Chan.bcr: Senator Foote, a little,
old man, bald bead and with spectacles, is
suddenly met by the. ruffian Frrmont,
knocked down, brought to his knees, hi
ij'atart jammrtl into hit ryri, and the blood
flowing. Horrible, ai'ut it?" Cleveland
Flaiudtaler.
Well, that's a pretty story, to bo sure,
if anybody believes it! Vet a Fillmore
PP More us thinks the story might be
improved considerably, and 'pile on the
horror' as follows :
"Al? ',,e S!fn,,1Le i'

and U fore he bad any notice Frrmont hid
him dnurn on the jlmir and mauled him
Jmiii'iiifi, and in a short lime would have
had hi. n riniJird if he had been left alone. '
This brutal outrage Fremont committed on ,
Foote for words spoken in debate. After ;
Fremont was prevented at (he first attempt
to get revenge on Foote, to crn, in .fret .

Well, here's a rrctly big batch of sore
accusations, but tbe question arises, Hum 1
many of tlu-m are true f A narrative of
tho incident upon which they arc basely
manufactured, as t.ublUhed iu the nmst
reliable papers of the times, discloses the !
facts as follows :
'But one incident occurred to mar the
entire harmony of Col. Fremont's inter- l
course with his brother Senator, and that
entertained for his manly "sensibilities. On

Jersey, demanding a retraction of his of-
fensive imputations. Gov. Prico broucbt
back a note from Foote, in which be stated
that in what he bad stated in the Senate,
he bad said nothing denunciatory nf the
t.ill annnnsnl in havn been referred to bv
him in bis remarks. Mr. Fremont's friends
esteemed this equivalent to a retraction of
tbe offensive words.
And tbat ended it. ..both the men now

no glasses ground into eyes no blood

blow came from Foote. Wbat Fremont
might have done bad no retraction been
made, ia all conjecture.
This "bald old man" Foote is the one
who said he would help "hang" Senator
Hale, of N il., if be could catch him in
Mississippi who drew a pistol on Senator
Benton, in Senate and who was knocked
down in the Chamber by Gen. Cameron for
bis insolence. A notoriously drunken,
troublesome creature, of middle age, aud
heavier than Col. Fremont, yet th young
Senator brought bim to his senses without
violence to either law or justioe.

The moment a man parts with moral
independence; the moment he judges of
duty, not finin the inward voice, but from
the interests and will of party ; the mo
ment ho commits himself to a leader or a
body, aud winks at evils became division
would hurt tho cause ; the moment he
shakes iff bis particular responsibility,
because he is but one of a thoUMaud or
million by whom the evil is il me that
moment he parts with bis moral power,

Buchanan Nohtu and South. The
Southern faee of the Cincinnati nomineo
is presented by bis Southern organ ; tnd
here it is as painted by tho Vickaburg
Sentinel. It says s
" We dare any ono to point to a single
vote that Mr. Buchanan ever gavc.during
his Congressional career, involving the
question of slavery, that was not on the
aide of the South, and opposed to the
Abolitionists."
The Providence (IL I.) Post, as zealous
a Buchanan organ as the Richmond En
quirer, introduces him to a New Kugland
pnblio thus :
" Mr. Buchanan never nltcrrcd a sen
tence in defence of slavery, or whispered
a word in favor of its existence, or cast a
vote which any honest man could construe
in support of the institution."
A good conscience, a sound stomach, a
clean skin, are elements of good humor.
