Wednesday Morning, Sept. 24, 1856.
ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! ! ORGANIZE!!!
The Friends of Freedom are earnestly
desired to canvass every Township and
School District in the County. . The co.
horts of Slavery are at work. Already
they claim to know their strength. They
are bringing every element of opposition
to bear on the friends of Freedom and
Premont. Union saving efforts to force
Slavery Into Kansas—wonderful efforts to
frighten Germans with defunct "Know No.
thingisin,"—one swearing that Fremont is
a Catholic, and another that he is a Know
Nothing. One set claiming that Fremont
is a slaveholder, and another that he is
trying to have all the slaves let loose to
murder their masters. No stone is left
unturned to stop the onward roll of Free•
dom's waves, and as they tower higher and
higher, harder and-harder they strive to
arrest the mighty avalanche. Take coil•
r age then friends of Freedom. The alarm
of our foes sh:itild be another incentive to
more active efforts. Let the people but
know that the contest is between Freedom
and Shivery, and all will be well.
The Globe and American.
We find tho Catholic press charging Fremont
with know Nothingistn, whilst another portion
of the Democratic newspapers wage war upon
his religion, and call it CATHOLIC. This two
handed game won't win. The game is expo•
set, the Catholic question in to be urged with
pertinency on one hand, and Know Nothing
ism. pressed oulhe other, and by force of these
Isotioavila (charged and admitted lw the Buell-
anon newspapers, Protestant and Catholic,)
Col. Fremont is to be delimited, our reply is sim
ply this. If Fremont is a Cutholic, and that be
a crime, don't vote far him If he is a Know
Nothing, and unworthy of your suffrages, with
bold them, but, "in the name of all the god s
at once," don't blow hot and cold with the
same breath, nor hope that such Miserable at.
tempts at political trickery and deception' can
who anything but ridicule anal contempt.
The Globe and American of this town ploy
ed upon this harp of two strilig4, for a time,
but they have both coneludiml that the "cow
question" is of more iinportanec than the "K
N." or Catholic question," and now dish up
leading articles on. cattle breading,' , is being
more valuable and better suited to the mad-.
ty of their renders, than learned disquisitions
on theological or political 'subjects.

the line of 36' 30', a line north of which
Slavery was never to be introduced, and
by that line Kansas and Nebraska were
both consecrated to freedom. The North
in Congress opposed the admission or
Missouri into the Union as a Slave Sate,
and the South proposed the line in (pies
ton as a compromise, and as a considera
tion for the North yielding its ground in
relation to the character of the Missouri
Constitution. The measure was carried
by Southern votes and by the votes of the
most distinguished men of the South, and
now, when they have received the fruit of
the bargain shall they be permitted by the
North to snatch from them the very consi

better promise not to preach again in Ito
chester. I told them I would not make
that promise ; that I was guilty of uo
crime, had violated no law, and would obey
God rather than men. I asked them what
rights or privileges they claimed as Amer-
ican citizens by virtue of their citizenship,
that were superior to other American citi
zens. At this remark, without giving inn
an answer, they left the store, muttering
that force would be used in order to stop
me.
I had some pastoral visiting to do in the
country, and, after attending to that im
portant duty, on Saturday morning I star

ing my meeting at the time appointed.—
As we redo into town we observed groups
of men collected at the corners of the
streets engaged in conversation The
excitement appeared to be general. 1 rode
through the v . illage to Ilr . o.Strock's stable
to put up ray horse, and Bro. Holland,
who was in company with me went int. •
tnediately into Bro. Sttock's store. I
came into the store in ten or fifteen min..
utes, and found several of my Rochester
friends and some from the country, who
had come to attend the meeting. Old
Bro. llulland (a sainted martyr now) was
standing near Bro. Holland and myself,
paving in their hands a late number of the
it; stern Christian Advocate, containing
the report of the majority of the Commit
tee on Slavery in the General Conference
I told them how that mutter was adjusted,
but all to no purpose; we were abolition-'
ists still, and I must promise not to preach,
or be mobbed. I said I would not do it. •
About this time the mob began to collect
in front of the door I suppose there
wore .Irom seventy five to one hundred of

followed me, however, turned me bask,
and made me go toward Savannah. As I
passed out of town. I providentially met
Bro. Chamberlain and his wife, who,
were coming to my meeting. (I hope he
