    CAMPAIGN JOURNAL
•
Forever float that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us!"
We have concluded to Wile a "Cam
paign Journal" from the Ist of July to the
21st of October. We do this through the
solicitation of numerous friends. The
terms wilt be ten copies to one address, five
dollars, payable in advance.
Como friends to humanity, come free
men and bear a hand in the righteous
cause of freedom, in spreading the great
principles of liberty. The Journal is the
only paper in the county which is not sold
to the interests of the slave-driver.
The Sacking of Lawrence.
The accounts given by our informants of the
doings of the marshal and his posse, in Law
rence, do not differ from those already publish
ed, except as to the extent at' tho destruction
committed by the barhaeian horde which they
represent us tar greater than was at first sta
ted. Every house but one, in the place, was
sneked—trunks were broken open, wardrobes
rifled, money and other valuables seized, and
coven ladies dreases were added to the miscel
laneous plunder. We notice that George W.
Brown, Esq., editor of the Herald of Freedom,
in a letter to the Alton Courier, states the to
tal destruction and appropriation of private
property, at Lawrence, at no less than $2OO,-
000. The Free State Hotel bad been erected
and furnished at an expense of $30,000, and
would have been opened fur business in a day
or two, by Col. Eldridge, who is also proprie
tor of the Kansas )hotel at Kansas City.
The Herald of Freedom office woo the best
appoleted establishment west of St. Louis,
and its destruction involves a loss of at least
$OOOO. But this is only a part of the loss of
Mr Brown. The marauders entered his private
office, destroyed his library, valued at $lOOO,
scattered his private papers, arid ended by set
ting the building on lire, though the flames
were extinculshed. They also destroyed a
large stock of printing paper, die, that had
been received only a day or two before. Alto-
Dether his Ices amounts to $1'2,000 or $15,000.
r. Robison's house, furniture and library,
and all his private records were burned. Mr.
Johnson's house was completely riddled, trunks
were broken open, money and valuables of
boarders were token and carried away, some
persons losing eevetal thousand dollars in
money and land-warrants. The stores were
et t red, and everytl.ing was taken whirls ava
rice c ,ul , l prompt them to take or malice move
them to destroy.
All amusing story is to .1 of the Hon. David
Atehi,on's participation in the spoils of the
Kansas Hotel, ho having been seen moving off
with a couple of boxes of cigars under his
urns. He no doubt likes a good agar as well
as he does a good glass of whiskey, and thought
it a pity to have them burned except in a le
gitimate way [Mr. Butler paid a glowing tri
bute.the other day in the Senate to the noble
generosity of his character, and wo Lope he
will reciprocate by sending his eulogist a pack.
age of these cigars 11 On the day of the sack
at Lawrence, Judge Fain, who hat been crea
ted Deputy Marshal p•o terse, was seen riding
around upon a valuable horse belonging to
Col. Eldridge. Mr. E's brother claimed the
animal, and politely requested the Judge to
give him up, but ho refused to do so, and the
owner does not know what became of him.

C 0,., FnemoNr's REPLY TO THE MASSACRE
• stns REPEDIACANS.—The Massaehusetts
gation to the Republican National Convention,
when on their way home, waited upon Cul. Fre.
in New York, to inform hitn of his nom
illation. In reply to a neat address from lion.
T. D. Elliott, Col. Fremont said :
Gentlemen: It will not be expected of me,
I am sure, that a formal response will be made
to you at this time. I thank you cordially for
your action, and for this kind and unqualified
expression of confidence in me. I shall end.,
vor to deserve it. You have been engaged,
gentlemen, in a cause that should draw to its
support all the friends of Constitutional Free.
dom. I have read the platform which you
have adopted, and have examined with care
the principles it embodies. It is, at this time,
like a second Declaration of Independence. I
believe in its truth, and can adopt it in all its
parts; and it will be my purpose, if the voice
of the people shall ratify the nomination. which
you have made, so to conduct the government
that these principles, thus avowed. shall become
effective.
Tue FREMONT BANNER.— " I see," ERTI 111
Correspondent of the Boston Atlas, "that in
Pennsylvania the Buchanan men are forming
'Wheatland Clubs,' (Wheatland is the name
of Buchanan's seat,) with banner bearing as a
device a Sheaf of Wbaat. I beg to suggest
that the banner inscribed with the name of
John Charles Fremont should have for its de•
vice a Trcshing Machine. That sheaf of wheat
is deotiued to be thrashed, and the wheat to
bo gathered into another garner than that of
border rullans."
rar Mr. Michael Carrigan, of Allegheny
township, of Cumbria county, shot an eagle on
the 29th ult, measuring seven feet across the
wings, and the claws, when stretched, seven
inches.
Col. Benton's Speech.
Col Benton in a recent speech in Missouri,
thus alluded to the administration;
He said he deemed Mr. Pierce a ruined moo
from the day he made up his cabinet. He
was himself a kind hearted tnari, bat too weak
for the pine°. Cushing and Davis were the
ruling spirits—one a nullifier and seetionist . ;
the other a renegade Whig, an apostate Abell.
tionist, a neophite Democrat, and a Tylerite as
long as Tyler had anything to give. Ile had
known Mr. Cushing as a leading Abolitionist
trying to keep Arkansas out of the Union, be
cause her constitution admitted slavery, and as
backing Mr. Slade, of Vermont, in entleavor
ing to abolish slavery, in the District of Co.
lumbia, when they forced the Southern mem.
mers to seceed from the hull of the House iu
148. He bad known him as the greatest
friend of the Democracy, making a speech a•
gainst them divided into two and thirty heads
as many heads as there were points in the
mariner's compass—in which there was a con•
glow:ration of everything that had ever been
said against them. He had known him as the
enemy of the sub treasury, of hard money and
the bitter reviler of Jackson; anu he could see
nothing but ruin to an administration of which
ho was the master spirit. lie predicted for the
administration a total overthrow at the time.—
It had come overwhelmingly.
Col. Benton rapidly sketched the canoes of
the downfall of Mr. Pierce, at the head of
which causes ho placed the disturbance of the
peace of the country in destroying the Miss°.
ri compromise—a measure front which Mr.
Calhoun recoiled, because the attempt to des
tray that compromise would destroy the public
peace. The destruction of the Texas compro
mise was as flagrant us that of the Missouri
Compromise: for it was a menactment of the
same inade.tweuty-five years afterward, and in
the words, and by men who destroyed it. The
chief authors of the Kansas Nebraska bill had
voted for the Texas compromise, and were
stopped by their own act in denying its consti
tutionality.
Tho extravagance of the administration was
dwelt upon by Col. Benton—seventy to eighty
millions expanded annually, when ono third of
thatsum was computed by Mr. Polk in the lust
year of his administration, and after the aqui-I
sition of New Mexico, California and Utah, to
be enough, and it would be so under an aeon- •
omical administration. But hero all was ex•
travagance run mad ! extravagance iu the in
crease of offices and salarics,in the increase of
army and navy—in keeping up an enormous
revenue of eighty millions when one third of it
was enough.
Faumoter has been charged with
ingratitude, in having owed his education to
i party of Catholic ladies, and being now hostile
to Catholicism. An old school•fellow of his
publishes a letter, spying that he has known
Cul. Fremont fur thirty years, having received
together with him, the same classical lessons
from the same source, and that thore is not a
word of truth in any of the charges about his
Catholic education. Of course not. But eves
if he had been educated by Catholics, is that
of itself enough to keep him from the Presi•
deuey—and does Millard Fillmore make it one
of the planks of his platform, that the bare
suspicion of Catholicism shall ostracise a man
forever trout public (Ace ? We are constrain.
ed to believe so, as those who are using this
thing are his loudest advocates. Mr. Fillmore
will have to alter the Constitution before he
can legalize his bigotry.
COSTLY BUSINESS.—A committee is Charles
ton, S: C., to raise money and send emigrants
t 9 Kansas, repurted, recently to a public meet
ing in that city, that they had received $9,511,
and armed and shipped 73 men to Kansas.—
This is, on an average, over $122 for each
man. The Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Sod
ety, against which so much has been said, paid
no man's passage, gave money to none and
merely arranged for the reduction of the cost
of passage by commutation with railway and
steamboat lines, the erection hotels at the West
be, if the seventy-throe men sent out from
Charleston with money contributed by the pub
lic, had gone under the auspices of the End
grant Aid Society they would have been styled
"paupers."—Nerils American.

To School Directors
Decision No. 11, on page 56 of the Pamphlet
copy of the "School Law nod Decisions," does
not correspond with the general practice over
the State, nod is also found to be erroneous to
some extent as a matter of law, inasmuch as it
improperly exempts "trades, occupations and
professions," of a less value than two hiindrol
datarg, from taxation for School purposes. It
was so regulated to correspond with the State
tax on ocespations, but the 29th and Roth sec
tions of the School Law adjust the School tax
to the County ns well as State tax ; and as oc
cupations under two hundred dollars are not
exempt from taxation for Custody purposes, it
follows as a necessary consequence that they
aro liable to taxation for School purposes. The
variour acts of Assembly, with regard to Couu.
ty tax are exceedingly obscure and unintelligi
ble with regard to the manner of assessing the
tax on occupations; but the soundest rule of
practice to be gathered froth them will he for
Directors to assess "occupations" for School
purposes at such rate per cent., RS the necessi
ties of the District may require, not exceeding
thirteen mills on the dollar, except where the
tax at the rate thus fixed would not atnount to
fifty cents, in which case it should be lined at
that specific sum, according to the proviso to
the 30th section of the School law.
Where the duplicate has already been made
out, Directors recall and amend it according
the instructions contained in this circular. The
other tax decisions in the Pamphlet copy of
the S hoot Law conform to the nets of Assem
bly and decisions of the courts, and are to be
received as authority by Directors.
Very Respectfully,

BY
JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. D.,
Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians,
ondjor years Senior Physician in the Lon
don holiat Intirnutr g
.11 r tli,eases of
the LUNGS.
N this ago of progress, Medical Science has
I
couttthated her full share to the general wel
fare, and that which shines resplendent, the
brightest jewel in her diadem is McmCAL VAPOR
INOALAIION in the treatment of Consumption
and Rindred ail'ections. The treatment hitherto
pursued has been fnuhy and toothily inefficient ;
the stomach being made the receptacle of nause•
ous oils, and almost of other nostrums; all these
to,, being expected to act upon the lungs ; the
failure to cradles., or even stop the ravages of
the disease, in nearly every case of well-derelop•
cd Consumption, is surely warning enough to
the Consumptive to shun such a treatment. The
disease is ma in the Stomach but its the Lungs : —
Common sense will at once teach, tint medicine
applied in the form of Vapor, directly to the dis
eased surface of the Lungs, will be far more ef
teethel than medicine taken into the stomach.
The success el "Medicated Vapor Inhalation"
it...resting diseases of the Lungs, exceed my
sanguine expectations, end I earnestly appeal to
the intelligence of all afflicted, or who may have
the germs of sickness within them, to emlsrace
at once the soothing healing, and successful sys
tetn of Medical Vapor Inhalation, RR the ONLY
"Ark of Refuge" the the Consumptive. I offer
to twit it within the reach of all, and can so ar•
range it, that the invalid is never requited to
leave home, where the hand of friendship and
aflection, tend so much to aid the physieinn's
efforts• Where there is life there is now hope
for the most seemingly hopeless cases. as titre ,
viunt all lhe stages of this insidious disease, the
wonderful and benelicient effects of the treat
ments are soon apparent. In cases also of
BRONCIIITIS, ASTHMA, &c.,
the inhaling of powders and vapors l;nve been
eminently.successful, and to those suffering un
der any of the above named complaints, I eau
guarantee speedy and certain relief. I have
pleasure in referring to TWO uunonno Arm Sp,
TEN names, residents of New York end neigh
borhood, who have been restored to vigorous
betilth. About one-third of the above number
according to the patients' own statements were
considered hopeless cones.
The inh.ding method is soothing, sure and
speedy, and COIISISIA in the administration of me
dicines in such a milliner, that they ore conveyed
into the lungs in the form of a vapor, and pro
duce their action at the seat of the disease. Its
practical success Is destined to revolutionize the
opinions of the medical world, A., esT.ineimi
Tun ENT!. eta t/MLITT or CONSUMPTION.
Applicants will please state if they have ever
bled from the Lungs, if they have lost flesh,
have a cough, night sweats and fever turns, what
and how much they exporate, what the condition
Unbar stomach and bowel.. Th e noas,“ry
Medicines, Apparatus, Sc., will be forwarded to
any part.
TERMS.—Five dollars, consultation fee.—
Bounce of the foe payable only when the pa
tient reports himself convalescent.
RECOMMENDATION hiY PHYSICIANS.
We, the undersigned, mealtimers in medi
cine, cheerfully and heartily recommend Dr. R's
method of treating (bowies of the Lungs and
Throat, as fife best and most effectual ever intro
duced into the medical practice. Our convic
tions are based upon having several of our own
Patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to vi
gorous health, after a ten months' treatment Icy
Or. Rose. In the above named diseases, the ap
pike, ion of "Medicated Vapor," inhaled direct
ly into the Lungs, may be justly considered as
a great boon to sudaing humanity, rendering
consumption a paleetly curable disease.
D. Rose deserves well of the Profession for
his unwearied labors in bringing the inhaling
method to such a degree of perfection.
