them sufficient reason. We flatter ourselves that we have made a decided improvement in the appearance of our paper, and we apprehend that this wil'l meet thc approbation of all our friends

The Coming Campaign.

Tho coming Presidential campaign will be of no ordinal^* interest to the American people. It will be fraught with responsibilities of the most -weighty character weightier than those of any other cam

paign since the days of Washington. It will be freedom on the one hand and slavery on the other—two principles in

direct opposition to each other—opposed to each other by every law of meaning.— •These will inevitably come in contact

A Candid Admissioa.

The Louisville Journal, pro-Slavery in commenting upon a communication in reference to tho lynching of Brady at Lexington, makes the following truthful admission:

"Our correspondent is right in saying that men in slave States will not tolerate now the utterance of sentiments which they tolerated unhesitatingly many years ago. Jefferson was a great man and an undoubted patriot, but a Southern editor would expose himself to the danger of mob violence if he wejc to use at this time such language as Mr. Jcfierson used."

That is emphatically true, and if Jefier-

son

were now living and at this present lime

in the Free States of the North votes for him from that quarter would be few and far between. He would have to depend entirely upon the Republican party for support. The Republican party has taken, as tho basis for political action in reference to Slavery and Slavery extension, the exact position occupied by Jefferson and it is a position identical with thc one taken by the Democratic party in thc Free States in 1849. And now, because the Republicans occupy this position, and for nothing else, thc Old Line Democrats in the North, with the false and hypocritical claim of being "Jeffersonian Democrats" constantly drip-

ping from their tongues

Tho Ladies were received by the President with all his accustomed graciousness and urbanity of manner but when the good-natured Senator himself approached the presence of his Excellency to salute him, Piesidence Pieree turned "deliberately upon his heel and presented his back to his visitor.

At the beginning of the war numeiotis foreigners in the United States applied to the British government for permission to join the army of the East, ln consequence, instructions were sent to tho government Mow" 5'd@'J0 of Nova Scotia to sonsider whether per- ers.ll^.dull sons from the United Siates could be received at Halifax. These instructions were notified to Mr. Crampton, who was at the same time informed that, anxious as England was for recruits, she was still more l)C* cent, anxious that there should be no violation of the municipal law of the United States. :\n agency office was accordingly opened,!

and, upon complaint being made, Mr. Crampton desired that it might be made yublic that the British government did not recruit s.ohiiers in tho United States, and that he made known his instructions to Mr. Marey, who expressed his satisfaction.

After further explanations he stated that a correspondence of not a very amicable nature had since taken place between tho governments, but the transaction referred to are bygone transactions, and from ihe commencement the British government has disclaimed the infringment of the laws ol

A portion of Convnetion were for ejecting him by force, others protested, but the reporter finally withdrew, at the solicitation of his friends, thus ended the tumult.

The candidates for delegates to the State Convention took oath this morning that they were not members of any organization, proscribing citizens in consequence of birth place or religion, and that they did not intend to become such.
