In tb Wait, w sie alte j, will deweUto nMIhr tS,e hci 111 PEOPLE 8 COH VENTION Leal Saturday wu a proud day for Freedom in Franklin county. The - - - i .. I ...n ,. . . . largest Convention that h been held in the oounly for years, aeaenibled, to resolve to right the wrong under which the people are suffering, thro' the usurpaiioee and tyranny of the present Administration. Th y came with fixed receive to he above the dieONhm of office holders and office seekers. No f7 candidates for nomination bad been harassing them for So little did tbej earn for the irs, that ibey left the whole mat ter to a com tu i lice of 16, while they kept in tfcrw the great issue, which in as for above the scramble for office, as Lifo and liberty are above all other ordinary considerations. The country ia pfnoged into etvil war, by the tmctling of the Administration to the demends of slaveholders, and Thc PaoPLB tare not who hold the offices thai have ne influence in deciding the great question of Freedom or Bondage, so that they are honest and capable. One characteristic of the meet ing was, the number of old mn who had long since retired from the sti ifes of political lifo, but who feci the emer gency sneh aa to vail them forth, as it did in 181t when many of the thewJdered their msjnhen and knap sacks, to defend tkeir country against the attacks of a foreign foe, who were receiving "aid and comfort" from such men as James Buchanan and his fellow Federalists. It made Young 'Ameri ca feel strontr to. find such men as Col. Wm. Webb, Maj. John Hackleman, Capt. Isaac Fuller, Capt. James Webb. Cept, Isaac Peek, J man Allen. James 8. Coleseott and N. D. Galiion in their midst, cheering them on in -their efforts to rescue their country from anarchy and slavery. These old soldiers said, by their presence, as well aa by their loud busiuhs for Premoot and Freedom, "Boys, yon had better trust the destinies of your country aa the hads of one was a 'Ragged Orphan Boy,' an object of charity in 1816. but who had the heart of a man, aad who has acquired imperishable laurels, than in the bands ,of one who opposed us, both during and after the war, and who has done nothing for his country but to lire off of her treasury." Another striking feature of the Convention, was, the large number of naturalised citixens who took an active part in its deliberations. They have come to this land to enjoy liberty, and they desire that they and their children may go where they please, and speak what they please ! without fear of bludgeons, or penilentiariet, or chain gangs They are opposed to slavery, aad intend to aid in keeping it oat of oar Territories. They are wake. They realise the fraud that haw been practiced upon them by designing politicians, and with honest indignation they have re so! red to rebike those who would use them for the promotion of their selfish ends. Men who have been leading Democrats stood shoulder to shoulder with men who have been leading Whijs. The native and the adopted citizen vied with each other in their devotion to their endangered country. W hat L 9 1 w . -w a nun has been, or what were his opinions oa other questions, was no saws ashed than it would be in the laid of battle when repelling a comaaoa enemy. At about bait pnst 10 A. M.. the aanetiBg was called to order by choosing J. D. Howland, Esq., President. On taking the chair, Mr. Howland introduced the object of tbe meeting, by nUtdiogto the unusual number of who bad so spontaneously together at so short a notice, and with so little "drumming up." It wae, he said, an evidence that there viae a question at issne that laid hold of the hearts of men, a question of lifo and1 liberty, which rose above all arty neues. It is an evidence that there ia real conservatism in Tub Pao pin, that when aroused, they will aa sort the right and defend it It is i question whether the slavery oligar ohy snail rule, or whether the people, people shall govern. It is said those who oppose the further exof etavery are Abolitionists. If this be true, he said he was willing to be celled aa Abolitionist while living, and nave the odious word ascribnsT em nor sesno wnen ouneo. it is, Mid ho. ieawwraaoie mat tbe most ebawarosn pro-slavery men in Indiana, tno candidates for oAce under thei m ana at Ml e awo-slaverr leaders, were, only six just the aaaae kind of Abo ante proved by their platend letters of 18-. There are now na causes for sneh Abolitionism an ia decryed by the slaveholder. A long established, and acquiesced in law, has born ruthlessly repealed, without petition from North or South, and Im violation of good faith an in aspirants in the North,

There 'A is now a practical question. WW you submit 10 this? This is the question. The movements of this day- the gath cring of HiisUrg assembly so spon taneously. say no Even the leaders of the measure acknowledged this, in Cincinnati, in abandoning the leaders, and showed that there were beard there the rumblings of an oncoming earthquake that threatens to engulpb tho whole tribe of thc slave power. That rumbling is nearer, more dislinet, more terribl than even then -It will come, aad the freemen of Ameroa will shew that thev are not preir i to wrarlhe yoke lhat would 1 plaeed upon them by their would-be mastrrs. After closing lis remarks, of which the above is but an imperfect outline, and which were received with frequent bursts of applaose, a Secretary and Vice Presidents were appointed, and also Committees on Resolutions nnd nominations, as will be seen by the official report, Mr. Robert Brundrett, of Spring6eld, being loudly called, apologised by saying that one beheaded aa he had been, ought not to be expected to make a speecb, but he could say that, although decapitated, his spirit lived. He was a Democrat is yet one. He .occupies yet tbe platform that the peo ple and the leaders occupied six years ago, and he is satisfied 'that though the leaders had got off, and gone office hunting, in tho South, the people are yet anti-slavery. He, with his fellow Democrats, are where they always were, and tbey always expect to be, live or die. Air. Spooner, of Ltwrenceburg, being called, addressed the assembly. He alluded to the difficulties in Kansas, and the apologies of the Douglass Democracy for repealing the Missouri Compromise line a line which Mr. Douglass wished only six years ago, to extend to thc Pacific Ocean a line which, in his speech, he held as sacred as the Constitution, and which Case himself six years ago regarded as sacred. Alluding to the threat of the slavery part? to "Buck" the American people, he showed lhat the people had been bucked, for the last four years, and were fully satisfied with it. They had inscribed on their banner. not "Buck" 'em, but Freemen, Fr?e Speech, Free Press and FREMONT ! Tbe people are neither willing to be Bucked, nor cued, nor imprisoned for the liberty of speech. Tbey want the liberty to speak, write, and print their sentiments without fear of canes in Washington, or prisons in Kansas. In the afternoon. John A. Matson. Esq , spoke in his usual felicitous style, He beautifully alluded to the deep interest he had always felt in Franklin eoun'y. The present, he said, is such a crisis lhat it calls us all to look and think and speak, without regard to party or prejudice. This crisis has been brought upon us by tbe most mischievous legislation ever known hi the country. Many who voted two years ago to sustain tbe Kansas bill. did so honestly, believing that it wo'd work well, but they are now satisfied that they were deceived, and, like honest men as they are, they determine to right the rong thus committed. He showed from Hon. John C. Breckenridge that Henry Clay was a prominent friend of the Missouri Compromise, and from Hon. James Whitcomb, that Congress had the power and should exercise it, to exclude slavery from Territories, and that Gov. Wright, as a member of Congret. voted to exclude slavery from Ortqon, under oath, showing lhat be either perjured himself then, or that he is dishonest now. Much misebief as be (Mr. Matson) anticipated from the operations of this Kansas Bill, he had not expected half the evils which have already been developed. American blood has been shed by Americans, and Ameri can citizens have been driven from American polls by .Americans. But the half of the outrages cannot be told. He 'hen read from (he laws of Kansas, some of which are to bo enforced by the sword, and called squatter sovereignty. During this part of his speech, D. D. Jones twirled his cane involuntarily, and the sweat ran down his face in big drops. Poor man! be felt that he dare not try to sustain that kind of sovereignty, and when he could stand it no longer, he left the audience. On the other hand, the unbidden tear was trickling down the cheeks of many a freeman, as the speaker depicted the chain gang pro-

and diruniooists in the Kouih

vided for men who dared state their ! lhat territory. Not Gen. Scott, at the opinions on slavery. He proceeded head of ihe whole army, could secure then to contrast the lives and char-.c- it. unices the military bo rendered Miters of Buchanan and Fremont. Buc- perior to the civil power a thing we hanan savs. that he has no sentiments I shall never consent I . Tbe Kansas

of his own "he is not James Buchanan any more," but Fremont speaks out his sentiments like a man. During his remarks he was listened to with profound attention. Ilia hearers felt that he was spe iking for the lives and property of their fellow men, and liny manifested the most signal purpose to rush to their rescue. Ee fuses to Run. Rev. Henry Cordier, who was nominated, last week for the office of Treasurer, refuses to run. It is understood that Simeon Bath, tbe nominee for Sheriff, will also refuse. (Cy You needn't send here, Broth er Scott, for bricklayers, they arc rll gone, except those who lay bricks in the hat, and you don't want lhat kind. When roar town ia finished, the noisy crew will leave 70 toe.

i plete Victory- Jollification For several weeks pai, Itev. llrmy Cordter, tin pasttjg ni ihe German l.u ihren cliuich in this place, in common with litany other intelligent Hermans, had h n pressing their disapprobation of iho piriform and principles o( the h moeratie parly. They openly avewrd their opposition to the vxiension of slavery, and their intention to uo longer co-operate with ihr party that, to say tho least, regards its sneendl Willi inilill.'r. nrr Hu m opinions having been freely nnd repeatedly expressed, In (len. Holland, ft W. Kimble, Dr. Ilaymond and olhcse, when the committee to whom was entrusted the duty of naming candidate met hut Saturday, one of their number being an intimate friend of Mr. Cordier, and professing to peak confidentially of his views, it wasiesolved to tender him tlx office of Treasurer, that he mitflu , have a more plausible excuse for carrying out his avowed purpose, of appealing to his countrymen in behalf of human liber tythe freedom of speech and of ihe press, in down -trodden Kansas. The intention of the committee being noised abroad, the office holders taw Mr. Cordier, or professed to have seen him. and one of their number, SlisriU lintzner. cum- into tho convention U prevent the nomination, nnd when the report of the committee wru read, snid that ho was authorised to say that Mr. Cordier would n .e - .i i Ik nmn in 1 1 ion It wu;i however made. Alter adjournment, Mr. Cordier was sorely beset, by Batxncr, Junes Ji Co, but Le retained hi. resolution und insisted that he would carry out his purpose of addressing his countrymen, in their own language, in behalf of freedom in Kansas. Of this he gave assurance to Mr. Holland late in the evening. How he spent Sunday, we know not. But on Monday, he was again beseaged, in sbop, and grocery, and offices every where. The lesalt was, that late in the afternoon he rap itulated, and wrote a note, declining to run for the office. The Democracy having succeeded, ns they supposed, in spiking this cannon, they 6 red seve ral salutes ia the evening, in toLcn of victory. It remains now to ho seen whether Mr. Cordier, though not a candidate, will carry out his purposes, or wheth er he will subject himself to tbe im putation that his protestations for free dorn were all to induce the freemen to nomin tte him for a fat office. He will certainly not give cause for such a suspicion, but plead for freedom, though uot a candidate for office. The Bight Move, at Last On the 16th. Hon. Mr. Clayton of Delaware, submitted a bill, in tbe Senate, repealing tbe distinctive fea tures of the Kansas bill, and restoring the long tried, and safe measures, under which other territories have been successfully and quietly organised. Ii provides lhat the Secretary of State shall cause a census to be taken, making one thousand persons the basis Tor one Representative, and two thou-. sand for a member of the Council of the Territory. Le' il voters must be bona fide reso idents ibree months before an election, and one month resident in their respective districts after the appointment. The Governor to issue his proclamation directing the election of members of tbe Legislative Assembly, to be held not less than fifty days, nor more than sixty days after the proclamation. No law shall remain in force violative of the great principles asserted in the Kansas and Nebraska bill - . o . . a s relative to non-intervention by slavery, and whereby the people shall be prohibited from a free and full discussion of their own domestic institutions or interests, or whereby said people hall be prohibited from advocating or denying the extension of, or the propriety of prohibiling slavery in the territories, or visited ur threatened with any penalty or punishment, nor shall any test oath be required relative to the fugitive slave act, or other law of Congress. Trial by jury shall be as of common law, and no challenge or objection to a juror shall avail which is not authorized by tbe rules of common law, any statute to the contrary notwithstanding. The hill provides that when the territory contains 93,420 inhabitants, the people shall be authorized to call n Convention for the formation of a State Constitution. This is, in substance, and almost in detail, the plan we proposed early last ' winter. It is the only way that quiet j will ever be permanently restored to bloody code is legitimately enacted and should be enforced until repealed. So says the President, so say we. It is ihs ripe fruit ofthat measure by which the Buchanan party expect to ride into office. Every outrage of Shannon, Stringfellow, Junes dt Co., ia covered by the prtsent Kansas laws. The true remedy is to retrace the fatal steps which have led to this war. It should have I ecn done months ago. The President should have called un extra session, early last year, for this very purpose, and would have done so, had lie not consulted the wishes of slaveholders. Let the law be amended, so as to correspond with former territorial Laws, aad the Work will be accomplished. But this can not be expected. Thu majority of tbe Senate have sworn to sustain that law, and they will do it, though blood flow every where aa it now does in Kansas.

Hard Struggle ending in a com

The Raffed Orphan Boy It is a great misfortune tobe u candidate, Kvery fact in a man's history is triged upon, and urged against him Poor Buchanan is suilering greatly from this. By way of revenge, the pro-slavery press has already bgun to bring up the past history of Fremont, showing his friends lhat those

who live in glass houses should not throw atones. And, as is usual, the i basest, meanest.' nnd darkest aad I most oDjecllonablu tacts are brought i out drst, and reiieraletr, ngmn ami again. Wo confess that the things charged againet Fremont, are now to us, and must be to most of our readers. We have no dould of their uuth, exi-epi ili. charge cf bis being a slaveholder, hence we give them to tbe publio as true, and leave our readers to vote for him if they can, with sueh a past history. The charge first appeared in ihe Cincinnati JStiqairer, and it will bo passed found tho enure press, and made ring feora every stump, and no doubt be painted on banners, as objection to Fremont, lieta it is: The Black Republican, and Ami i'ope, ard Ami Foreigner party, have nominated for President asUv hol ler, nid the son of a Freurhman. J. C. Fremont, a poor boy, received ueherous and kind treaimml ai the band of the ladies of South Ca'oliua, who found him a iuiiuxd ohPh an and sni him to school ami provided forjhis comfort and rearing. There it hi: Ife was once a HAÜOED ORPHAN, and was educated "by ihe kind and generous treatment of the ladies of S-miiIi Carolin-. " And he is thc SON OF A FRENCHMAN ! What dark, damning and disgraceful charges ! ! Brooksing Him. It appears from our Mixerville correspondent, that our friend, John Samiii Is, having just returned from the Cinciunali Convention, "chock full" of Democracy and tenihusiasm, went into tbe j Post Office at Mixerville. bearing aloft a banner, inscribed to Buchanan it Co., and tried to infuse bis ardor into the Post Master and others. Finding the old-fashioned way of argumentation inefficient, he determined to try the latest Democrat ic argument, by letting a little blood from Dr. Sanders, of Ohio; not according to the medicul books, from the arm, but in Bully Brooks'i style from the head. Considering (hat it is so short a lime since this method of answering a political opponent has been inaugurated, it is said that John did right well, and ihe Dr. bled freely. Our informant does not say whether the Dr. thinks of voting for Buchanan, or whether something more will be needed to convince him that the Kansas squatter sovtreignty is all ' right. From the way Ihe aspirants are imitating Brooks and Shannon, we expect the motto will soon be, Wsmi prove our doctrin orthodox, 7 "Ucbtowasudtpecsa.

Never were lhe old liners more surprised than at the way thu nomination of Fremont was received. When ibe news of the nomination of Buchanan came, the offioe holders fired some 20 rounds of cannon, to try to shoot up some enthusiasm, but it was all in vain. Wir n the news of Fremont' nomination came there was such a spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm as bad nol been seen' for years. We confess that we bad not the remotest idea lhat there was such a feeling existing. Cannon, and fireworks, and huazna enlivened the evening, ll was not preconcerted, nor was it led off by any captain. All was spontaneous, nnd ..II the result of deep feeling in the heart. The joy was not that n favor - ite candidate had succeeded, but tl.at those who were already harnet-svd for lhe battle, now bad a reliable leader, under whom tin y could organize one who bad seen service, and brined dangers. . 1 -w - . Speculating in a small Way. Prof. Larrabee, not content with the banl he made in the book business, has begun to speculate, in a small way off of country publishers. Thc publishers of the Gas-Light, a weekly paper, published in Brookville, sent biro three dollars, for which they have bin receipt, or the receipt of hu clerk as the difference in exchange between their paper and tbe Daily Stntinei It came, they say, a few times, and was then discontinued. They hove writ ten about il, but still it comes not, nor the money. This way of speculating, is small, but it is ill thc meaner for that. Jauirs Wright, John Arm strong and others, have recently returned from Kansas.

The exercises have been 'interesting und creditable. JlW The Democratic account ol the taking of Kansas, which appears on our first page, eonvicts them of coma a s se milting their depredations without cause. According to lhat there was j . no resistance on the part of the rrte-i State men. A Significant Fact.U is saiJ, on reliable authority, that James Buchanan has never been elected to an office by the Democratic party. It is tho't by his friends that there is Federal element enough ,in ibe present Democrat - ,c Prty lo "-'curü his election. We : don 1 belleve 11 Send for the Documents.

Thev now discover that the great love wherewith old liners loved them was measured by the number of voles they gave: tiT The Counly Commissioners have bought the farm of Thomas Stringer, near town, consisting of aboul lot) acres, for a poor house farm. They pay 95,6'JO. Lund which would have answered them nearly as woll was offered them for 8I.OOÜ, und another farm for 82.000. The farm is cheap enough, but the question is whether tho counly is prepared now to buy such a farm, nnd whether ills ever necessary to pay so much for the mere land for such 11 house. We want lhe house lo be good, nnd substantial, but we think the land could have been bought for one fifth the amount given for this farm.

The Lieutenant Governor, however, is ifflicted with a weakness which has troubled him a ooil deal in past life, n p,lin it.rm ,e has bien almost a DOOtirased drunkard. H8 a reason why he This was urged should not be nominated lor novernor, out the Di mocracv, consistent with their practice, regarded this objection as comparatively trirlinjr. Wilrakd. howei'er, pledged himself to abstain from ihe use of intoxicating drinks, and promised, that in the evetitof his violating this pledge, he would withdraw his name as a candidate if he should drink before his election; o resign the office, if the violation took place after his election. Tbe pledge having been violated, we shall now see whether the promise will be redeemed. The Lieutenant Governor has been in thiR city for several days. He h8 been one of the big guns of the Democracy.
