1 T. S. CHASE, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER
titiv`The 4nancial crisis in Great Brit
ta‘iil 19th ult., was fully equal to that
with us amonth earlier. Had not gov
aliment stepped in with a, f‘relaaation of
S he hank act," serious results might have:
ensued. Louis Napoleon did likewise in!
Yrines.
Mir The Legislature of Missouri, un der
BOrder. Rufflan influence, has refused to
charter a Methodist Univenity, to be lo
cated at the seat of Government, Jefferson
City; and yet large numbers of Northern
Methodists still support the party which
gives Border Ruffianism all its power of
mischief. If that is not "licking the hand
that smites them" then we cannot see
what Would be, .
Mir Charle s Sumner has completed , an
other act of the farce he has been play
ing for nearly two years past. He has
just returned from a trip to Europe,
whither he went "for his health," If he
-will take to a sugar -teat, from this till
spring, there can be little doubt now but
he will be entirely well by that time.—
Aron:Pig Gazette.
Having eTeused and defended the bru
tal and cowardly attack on Sumner, the
Gazette now meanly insinuates that his
health was not injnred thereby. It takes
as ally of Border Ruffianism to get down
as low as that.
!`The Buchanan press has taken the
anti-Bank feyer again. Gentlemen, your
party have now, and have generally had,
the control of the logislation of Pennsyl
vania. If you mean anything, by your
talk against Bank bills, you will speedi
ly drive, all l3ank paper out of existence.
Heretofore you have induced the Whig
.Party tohald you when you got into one
of these fits. We hope no one will now
- do so foolish a thipg, : Let us see the
. era of gold and hilvor currency inaugu
rated at once.
Dpi" We ask the attention of the Farm
ers of our county tolhe notice of the Ag,
ficultigal Society in another column. It
is strange that while the counties east and
west of us have their annual -. lxhibitions
And Fairs, with the greatest success, the
people of this county should - treat this
important subject with such apathy. Let
there be a good turn-out on Tuesday even
ing of Court week to hear ?4r, Johnson,
and let, the people take hold as if they
meant to work; then, nobody need doubt
the result.
We are told that beside the speech of
Mr. Johnsoo of Warren, the proceedings
w,ill be otherwise interesting, so let there
be a grand rally.

The following pithy sentence frein the
Tribune's Washington Carrespondence,
gives a faithful picture of what " popular
sovereignty' means - in Kansas, and of
Buchanan's agency- therein '
"A-strong cenvictiori is felt here that
the crafty haud.of-Gov. Walker is visible
in the work of the Constitutional Conven
g9ll of Kansa4.4.. ~,Some
,of his, most,
inti
mate New-York friends made that detilara
tion to-day, and there are other ear-narks
which strengthen. the proof. If the in
strument received in - Washington be
really that adopted by the Convention--
and it is authoritatively accepted as. Quell
—then it is very clear. that the whole
Kansas, battle has to be fought over again.
To preclude the people from voting' upon
every part of the proposed Constitution,
but a Slavery clause, is a direct violation
of, the professed principle of the Nebraska
bill, beside being an outrage upon popu
lar rights which' arinavates all the wrongs
heretofore suffered in that Territory. No
mode of escape is offered. No alternative
is -'possible. Vote !or not vote, .the
Constitution must be crammed down
the throats 'of the majority, by .a
piece of chicanery the most insulting and
audatihms yet divised by a desperate min
ority:- Does anybody believe that even
the, moderate men who have counseled
_forbeafance, who have stood. between the
two extremes, seeking a fair adjustment
of the difficulty, will submit to an impos.
hire so monstrous as this ?" • -
A.. Hopeful Change.
It gives us -great pleasure to note a
disposition aniongithe Northern Buchan
an press, to sustain Governor Walker in
rejecting the. Oxford fraud. We. clip the
following from the last Lycoming Ga
zette, and lay it bafure our readers with
great pleasure: • ,
"At the late election in Kansas the evi
dences of fraud in the -returns. from .ox
ford precinct, Johnson county, - where so
palpable - that Gov. Walker rejected thorn
entirely. This makes a difference in the
Territorial Legislature of three Council
men and eight Representatives -in favor
of the Freo State party. By this act Gov.
Walker liar again shown, in the most em
phatic manner, that 'whatever is done in
Kansas must be dcine fairly. had he
!been in the place of Reeder,• when the
first election Wll3 held there, it is probable
there never would have been any ground
lei the Black Republicans to raise the cry .
of "bleeding Kansai s " c would have
annulled the whole fraudulent vote at
once, instead of first sanctioning it, and
afterwards denouncing what he at ,first
gave countenance. The Governor's ac
tion_. in the Oxford, affair will bo. apt to
giVe a quietuZ to all 'attempts at fraud in
Kansas•eleOtions hereafter, and to Kan
sas political capital,- All good citizens
will rejoice that he has had the wisdom
and oc9rap . to akap,i6 NTlmenlie did.".
There is no mistake luil that; last sen
tence: All good Citizens - will rejoice that
the Oxford fraud is
. not to, be.nllowed to
overthrow the will of the, people of Kan.
ras; and we rejoice that the Gazette, Press,
l and other , papers of that party, have 'at
'last sustained a Governor in Kansas, when
he set himself against the deviltry of the
Border Ruffians. If they had taken that
step three Years' ago, much trouble, and
crime. would have been avoided, It is
true egongh :that Reeder enuamitted a

The Kansas Bogus Conlita-
I.lo"niat Convention.
Opr readers are aware that'a body call
ing_itself the Constitutional Convention
Of Kansas, has been for sometime enn
cocting a plan by which'Slavery may be
forced into tbat Territory. So conscious.
was this body 'and the President, , that
it was a u:surpatiort, that a force of i ncar.
ly 1000 United States troops guarded it
froui the People. Did such a thing ever
occur before ih. the history -of•the United
States. i t: Convention framing :a Con
stitution for the people, so odious and
hateful that it required the army to pre.
tea. it front insult and destruction, and
this under the cry of securing popular
Sovereignty.
mboldened by the protection.' - of the
army, these Kansas - usurpers have adopt.
ed a Constitution for Kansas, which can
mt be changed until HO, and then only
by a two-thirdi rote of the Legislature.
Put even then "no alteration shall 'be
'made to affect the right of property in
the ownership of slaves." -So it; will be
seen, if a majority in Congress cari be
lulled into sanctioning this usurpation,
SlaVery will be fastiened on the new State
in defiance of the wishes of nine-tenths
of the people,
Put In . addition to this, the Conven

and established a Government of its own,

Two Portraits Well Drawn.
The - ,
editor of the Erie Constitutiou
has been travelling,. How a country ed
itor oan save money enough to indulge in
such an expensis;e luxury, is moro . than
we can guess. But brother White has
performed that.feat—that is, saved mon
ey in these pinching times, and has trav
elled all the way to Chicago and back.
Like all sensible editors, he has given
an account of what he saw and heard;
and the following - sketch from his pen
while in Chicago; deserves to
,travel all
over the Union. Better iiicuesses are
seldom drawn.
"Who has not heard of I"Liting:Jous
i WENTWORTU ?" WC picked, him out
first time trying among the attendants at
Mr. PArrEgsoN's church. He occupied
the seat right' across the aisle from us—
and we ( could not ( help thinking "there
sits a curiosity in a double sense :"
"Long JouN WENTWORTH" about whom
( We had I heard . Fo much, and—a - mayor
i , . 1
' atlencbry church ! There is Yethope
for all
,t,he w - Jrld. ' "Long .Joint" is at
I present Mayor of Chicago. He used to
, beldng to the "unwashed, unsanctified
( Democracy," as Parson Brownlow calls
1 them, but of late years he has acted with
( the Republicans. Since he quit the
I D.emocratic party and left his Old associ-,
j ates, he has greatly improved in appear-
I ante, as well as in his habits, from what
we are able to gather of his history. He
is what a not too precise person would
I call a -"overgrown lubber."l He is de
scribe
as formerly having been slouchy,
not over cleanly z not addicted to church
going, and possessed of about as much
piety as is usually found among sham
Democratic politicians. But if this was
his fOrmer condition, he has changed
wonderfully, and we were not a little grat
ified to see him joining in ehe devotions
and sitting in the sanctuary "clothed and
in his] right mind.". Republicanism be
otettoth cleanliness—"cleanliness is . akin
, .
to"—sotnething better. It exercises (a
purifying and sanotifying influence over
those who are won orcr from the. ranks
'of the enemy, and most generally effects
a complete moral as well, as political ie
generation.. About as good a way- as any
to reaCh and convert the followers after
t
1 the strange gods: of umdern . Domocrsey,
r-is to instil Republicanism into them, and
I the other graces follow..as naturally as
contentment follows an honest, industii-
Gus life: WENTWORTH is qiiite a giant
i in physical proportions—a man of indoin
itablc energy and wonderful firmness and
independenoe... Decision is written on
I every; lineament- of. his face. He is not
' very popular us a mayor, simply because
I any man who-fills that office in a large
I city, hand undertakes to do his' duty, can
notti e
popular. - The fact that he is un
popu aril about the best, evidence one
need require of his official integrity. He
