Quite a aanber of country people were here, n tome far Oonnersville, and, not betag able toeatnruin then with speechas that ciuUI be ad'irescd to their good tense, thy concluded to amuse iheea by a torch-Sight procession. Ac eordtogly, !3i persona, by aotual mostly boya. joined In the prosome carrying lamps, some W banners, and tome drawing a.canA toroav light procession ia effective na an eleetioneering agent, In proper Uon to the number of persona wbo ay bo influenced by the noise and parade, and to the truthful re pre sen -tatinoof Um men and principles of the party, upon their banners and tmtpareocies. Ia both these rsapeete, this was the moat effective demonstration which that parly has made thia year. There was noise withoat menaare from the good music of the Brookrille Band down to the thump ing of Crooksbank on an old drum, to My nothing of the burning of the nts and boya. Bat the moat striking feature of the performance was the truthfulness of the representations. First came ten men and boya drawing n eannon, dressed in red shirts, to imitation of the British who wiahed to tbdae our fathers in the days of the Revolution, when, like the Freemen of the present day, they resolved to throw off the oppressor a yoke and be free; and in honor of Atchison, the View Präsident under Pierce, when the Kansas bill wae passed, which has drenched oar western borders with Am erienn blood in a civil war, who placed tho envMBfj before the Free State Hotel in Lawrence, and fired at it in obedienoe to tho Democratic court that bad ordered it to be destroyed: and emblematic of the spirit of tho Pro-Slavery pnrty, North and South, who threaten to dissolve the Union if the free men of tho North do not tamely submit, like eowardJy slaves, to nil demands of tho South; nod emblematic of the doctrine of the Ostend circular, signed by James Buchanan, which pledgee him trad his' party to conquer Cuba, by th onwaon if it cannot be bought at what he, Buchanan, shall consider a fair price; and aa evidence that the party endorse the threat of Douglas, We will subdue you," and the order Of Bmiatcr Bright of Kentucky, "FreeoiRem moat be crushed out." On the hole, those British shirts and that cannon were most appropriate, aa emblematic of the party, and no dowbt h id n good influence, for there are hundreds wbo are afrail of gun powder, and who will vote with that party nstber than be shot, ither by the if Sow them masters, or by Ateh isoB Ar e., in Kanaan.

iiVvr vuvM iBtwif ihiu axs mmm s The Senator ia repreeealed in the picture, m ikMit ret?e to wallow the littto follow. Others, however, understood the picture to be used jfow -atively od in tended to represent J udge Reid and Prof. Larribee, old school Abolition's, trying to wallow too niggeriern of the pro-slavery party. According to the picture, they can't quit come it, but (he party swallow them, because of their deaperate attempt to swallow th. 'aigger it Then earns a banner, most expreaaire of the party. It watt a decrepit old man, evidently on hia last lags, representing tho distressed condition of the party that ia making its final struggle, ft was dressed in a garment of many colors, and of wretched fiti, to illustrate the motley crew tbnt are now united to fasten slavery upon Ksnsas. Its garments were made of scraps of all colors, illustrative of the ffagmeotsjof old parties that are patched together to eonatitute the pro-slave ry party. It had bin to represent the Federalism of Buchanan, and red to represent the blood spilt in Kansas and la lbs Senate Chamber, In "crushingout" free speech, and destroying, by order of a Democratic court, the free press; and black, to rr present the pro slavery plank of the platform; and green, to represent the verdaney of those who are led to support men and measures which they abhor, merely to sustain "the party." It was dtigned also to represent the spotted tickst of that party. Willard, tho f formtd (?) drunkard, and original Democrat; Hammond, ths gambler, and rabid Whig; Heid k Larrabee, the straight out Abolitionists; Crookhank, the Know Nothing, Ac, Ac It was most expressive, in color, wLUo its wretched Mi most graphically represented the fits into which Freemen have thrown the party, while its two meee. one looking North and the other South, aptly represented the platform of the party, so worded aa to be posi tively pro-slavsry ia the South, nod "by construction" ami, in the North; and also to represent the policy of the leaders, who, In the South, openly avow the right of the Sooth to go with slavery whsrever.the Constitution goes, and in liis North say, "much op posed to Slavery aa anybody;" this was taught, not only by the two faces, but made more emphatic by painting the Southern face black, and the Nor them one white. Then came a device representing a oardlnal principle of the party. Ii was a full length portrait of Mrs. hfy era, saying to D. D. Jonen, "Take the whisky." Dan'l looked more "skeer i" than we would have supposed him to be at such an offer; but it may have been his effort to look amasiagly "obleeged," for when he ia excited" and thankful, both at once, be looks indescribable. We thought it ungen -rous to hare substituted her lor Mr. Murch, after his liberal deduction of tea dollars from the bill at Whitcomb, but the apology is, that the artist ia better acquainted with hi r position and proportion., and the good quality of her liquors, than with Mr. Murob, who is a new band at the business. We must not forget to mention the big buck, with big horns, intended to teach that it i. no difference what kind of an animal they have for President, so that he stands on the platform, and to show that the kind that suits them best Is one of remarkable agility to skip about, so as to keep pace with tho varying demands of the South. Its sise and shape indicated that it would do to skip about from one posi lion to another, like their candidate for the Presidency, but, like him, couid not ran. Just Like Jeemoi. Judge Logan, in hia apeeeh to the torch-lighteia last week, said that the reason why Mr. Buchanan had never married, U that when young, (whether before or after his federal speech he did not say) he loved, he courted, and then asked the gill's pa and ma, and they said no: so he just gave it up, and never tried again. It is strango how certain traits of character dinar to some men. This name man, "when he hod come to years" aaid: "Our ti tie to the whole of Oregon is clear and unquestionable," but when he asked Ma Victoria if we might have it, she said NO! and Jeemee gave it up, just like he did his sweetheart. Poor old man, he was born too soon. If be had made his appearance nfter that American son? wee introduced into our school books, "If st Srat 70a deal sacaad, Try, try aaata. be would have acted like the lion hearted Fremont, and deserved the ob ject of bis love, for "foaa but tha rp, eassrve tba fair." Pole Raising at Shepperd'a. An appropriate finale to the im promptu meeting last Monday, y, raising a flag-staff at Shepperd's Ho tel. on which floats a flag dedicated to Fremont and Freedom. Ben Spooner made a happy speech on the occasion and Farquhar was making one, wben Mr. Birch, an Englishman, weighing about 325, took the speaker on hia shouldera and carried him off, saying, "Here goes John Ball, carrying off Young America " John Bnll is niways opposed to slavery. Sassiiut Riasoh. One of the her t reason a that we have beard for exclu ding the Republicans from the Court House is that they are ßek Re pub. licnns, and black people sbould'nt come in among white folks.

Äoto about tho Bailiffs'

We do not underrate the importance oi tho freedom question iu Ksnsse, hut we want to apprise oar cittaene that a yoke ie fixed upon them st home, slmoat as heavy aa the one upon our neighbors a that territory . Look agsla st ths one item of bailiffs expenses alluded to eat week. The aggregate ia BIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE dolsra. making enough to employ three men, the year round, st fSS,75 per month, which ia more than any (armer or mechanic would five any man on that Hat of treasury suckers more than sny one of them has earned, say one month in tba last year, whan not em ployed in "official buainess." Reader, taxpayer of Franklin county, ia it sny wonder that your taxes are heavy I that you groan under thir,inereaaing weight I When will they be lighter, ualeee you apply Uie only remedy1 You have so ong worn the psrty collsr. snd so sub missively obeyed marching orders, thst a certain clique claim the right to dictate to you, and you obey them, without a word. In this one item, you keep three men, besides the sheriff, la const sot employ, st good wages, and to do work for which he Is psid, by the par ties, psying the costs ef the suit. We heve no mesne of knowing, without too much labor, what amount he thus re ceives from you, but we suppose It to be aot less than 1 1 000, in addition to the S)loo extra ahowanca which he ia paid out of the county treasury for antra service, and ia addition to his other (see. Remember thst though you pay only two dollars prr day for his deputy, thst drputy esn, and no doubt often dees, make, for tho sheriff from five to ten dollsrs per day in subpensing witnesses, Ac., costs which hs seldom falls to collect. Th relative quantum of time devoted to this claas of buaineas does not odicste the amount tha sheriff receives. Thus, going to New Trenton and back and aerving a summons, or sabpens which can he don In half a day, Is 1 ,40, for one euminone, and It usually hsppene that thsre ere from one to a dosen wit nesses to he subpenaod in ths asms neighborhood. Suppose there be aix, (s.id there is asldom leas; either la a civil or criminal case often twice that) he geta 0,40, and ten eents for making the return, making 8,60 for a half dsy's work, clear profit, at that, for the county psys the bailiff, snd the sheriff receives the costs. We are aware that the law eaye: "Sheriffs shall aot be entitled to any fees for aerviee performed by their bailffs, when such bailiffs are receiving psy by the day, from the counly," but thia aw is not hslf ss essily seen aa the order of the County Commissioners whicli gives him s pretext for excluding his po(ileal opponenta from ths court house, hence he has. In every case, up to the present court, charged coats to the par ties in both elvil sad criminal caaea for auch aerviee. We do notasy thst he ie liable to in dictment for extortion in theae esses for we are not lawyer enough to give an opinion on that subject, snd thst is not the object of writlnf (hie article, but we do ssy thst the people of Frsnhlln eoun ty, are unjustly tsxr-c to support a aet of men who do nothing elae than feed upon the crumbs that fall from the eoun ly table. We are aware that in making this ex pose of the corruption that prevaiia among our oounty officers, we are quick ning ths hstred of thoss worthies sgnlnst ua, and that, ao far as they osn, they will make us suffer for it, In our business re laliona, while they will multiply the in numerable falsehoods slresdy circulsled against ne. It Is aliesdy manifest thst the chief serimony in tho coming elec tion, will be directed sgainat us person My. We are troublesome enough, out side of th court house, and they fear it will be worse, If we sre directed by the voters, to go laside, for they have no ides thst they csn give us such a nibble at the perquialtes, vulgarly called the "etealings," as will maks us hueh our ex poaure ot frauds upon the people. Thus far, we have been abundantly auatained. The people have rallied to our support in our business aa they never did to any other msn in this county, snd we sre en tirely willing to trust them for the future. We would only appriae them that the virulence of the atUcks upon as by the office holding clique, with their bailiff nd hangers-on, is sll owing to ths fearlese and truthful manner in which we lay open their fraude and extravagan ces. We have more of the seme sort which we shsll reservo for the future. "Worth and Wealth." Is the title of a new book from the prees of Springer 8t Townssnd, New York, by Freemen Hunt, Esq., editor 0 tne AfercAan' Magazine. From Its pages we extrsct the following paragraph under the head of " Morality of Insur ance:" "He wbo poeaeaaea a thousand dollsrs of his own, snd borrows s thousand of some one else, csnnot virtuously epecu late so extensively ss thst, if his prospects should be disappointed, he would lose twelve hundred. The apeculation ia diahonest, whether itaucceedaor not it ia riaking otner men's property with out their coneent; underaimilar circum stances jt ia unjust not to insure. Per haps the msjority of undisturbed traders if their houses and gooda were burnt would be unable to pay their creditors The iojuatice consists, not in the actus loss which msy be inflicted (for wbethe a fire happens or not, the injuatice is the same) but in endangering the infliction of the loae. There are bat two ways In which, under such circumstances, the claims of rectitude csn be satisfied one is by not endsngering the property, snd the other by telling its sctusl owner thit it will be endsngered, sad leaving hm to incur the risk or not ss he pleases." We not only commend the shove to oar friends, but would also advise them that the Riaing Sun Insurance Company ia a Home Institution, with its buaineas confined to Indians, and one thai can and will enable them to comply with ail requirements named by the author above quoted, in hia remarks upon the morality of insurance. Dr. Keeiy, Agent for Franklin county.

OnasiuaM. Clay at Brookrille J ui as our paper waa goio to press

ast week, a Witter was ri'oeived infor ming ua that Hun. C. M. Clay would visit Broohvitie on Monday the 11th. t was wholly unexpected by eur citisens, but the news waa received with oy. The fact of hia coming waa an nounced in the paper and a few, (less than AO) quarter sheet posters were seat around ths county. It was thought that enough would come, even at this short notice, to comfortably fill the new Court House, if wa oouldget it, but as it was identically such a meeting aa had been shat oat, it was not deemed proper to suffer the mortification of another refusal. Tha Paorta therefore, set to work like their fathers in the first struggle for freedom, 80 years ago, to overcome the obstcsles thrown in their way by official proeonpiioa, and they soon built a Court (iouee, suited to their necessities. Cnnveas waa procured, and a beautiful awning waa stretched across Clay born street, between the Maiket House and Mr. Qallions store, making, with the Market House, a most delightful tont. The women, true to their love of liberty, and hatred of oppression, either in Kansas or Franklin county, worked with a will, till a late hoar at eight, helping to rear a tent to freedom, as heir mothers of the Revolatlon work ed for tin ir husband and brothers and sons. On Saturday, several thousand of our citiaena went to Liberty to partake of ths pleasures of that groat meeting, and it was supposed that they would hardly turn out again so soon. But Monday morning came, with drissling rain.'thicatning to pour, be fore lonff. It wss forfunalo that it did. It laid the dust, and cooled the atmosphere, and ktpt a few thousand at home. Raining aa it waa, by nine o'olock the orowd began to pour in and by half past ten, between 4,000, and 6,000 weie sealed in the Markt t louse, and under the awning or stan ding around. There were at least ten limee as many wbo beard Mr. Clay, as heard M. M. Ray, the great gun of Democrats y a few weeks ago, and the attendance at that convention was estimated at 1. 000, by iu friende. It waa cheering to see hundreds who have heretofore always acted with the Democratic pin ty . patient and interested listners. It demonstrates thst when there is a great national ques tion, affecting the lives and liberties of ihe people, the masses can not be lrivtn by party hirelings, to maintain the wrong. We are confident that there were 200 men in the assembly who voted for Pierce 4 years ago, who will vote for Fremont this fall. The speech of Mr. Clay was worthy the man. Unbounded with strong facts and strong arguments. He waa followed by Mr. Howland with a fw eloquent remarks, and Mr. Truster addressed the people in the evening. It was a fatal day to old lineiam Franklin. e w in Endorsing Pi trot. The convention which nominated Buchsnan psaasd the follow! nr, endorsstnent of Pierce's administration: Reaelved, That the administration of Franklin Pierce haa been true to Demo cratic principles; and therefore true to tha grett intn-eat of the country , In the lac of tb moat determined oppoaitioa, has msinttiRed the lawa, enforced reonomy, fostered progress, snd infused integrity snd vigor Into every depart ment of the government at home. 11 haa aienally improved our treaty rela tions, extended the field of commercisl enterprise, end vindicated the rights of American eitisens sbrosd. It hss aa aerted with emineat impartiality the Hrat claim of sriar iiotiui, and haa at all times been failhiul to the Constitution. We therefore proclaim our wauuALtrisD irpaoBATioi of its measures sua us policy. The Sentinel snd other Northern "Old Line" pspers gensrslly refuse to publish the above, because it gives the lie to their profeesions. They sre well swsre thst their administration will not beer investigation by an impartial and Intelligent people. But they dare nor deny that the convention passed the res olution. Old Lino Honesty. As a specimen of old line truthfulness tske the following from the Greensbnrg Ouera): (ttr Those fellows preschers, edi tors, stump orstors, and peop e who have always expressed such a holy hor ror of dueling and duHiata, muat now feel very comfortable in doing auch ex traordiuary honora to Burlingsme, a fel low heretofore entirely unknown, snd whose only claim to celebrity consists in the fsct that he challenged Brooks to hght a duel. Now every child who reads, knows thst, for langoage uaed in debate, Brooks chalenged Burlingame, and Burlinga esjesna ie ana accepted, snd disignated the tim plsce of meeting, but Brooks bscked out becsuse be dMn't consider it ssfe for him to go there. The only point worthy of note, in the affair is, that Brooks is a type of the entire south blustering, bullying, threat ning to try to acaro freemen from the utterance of their sentiments and Votiso raxia scstimkrts, but the whole posse of them will stsy at borne when invited to come and dissolve tha union, conaidering it not aafe to "run the gauntlet." fXT A. A. Hammond, the Whig can didate for Lieutenant Governor, on the pro-slavery ticket will address the people of Brookville oa Thursday, Aug. 01st. We presume he will apeak io the Office Holdeis' Court House.ss the officers bow have great love lor Whigs. "Ik roR thi Fux." One of our town people aeting a young Fremont man io the proceasiou from II irriaon to Gmnersville, asked him what he waa doing ie that crowd. ' O," aaid he, "they offered to py my expenses, and I'm in, just for the fun of the thing."

The Union 8ared All Honor to thi

Hards and Softs. That the Union hss been in imineat peril, hss been believed by every cua srdly slsvs who would rather wear the collar of his Southern master thsn make one manly effort to throw it off. But no honest msn, with the spirit or s mar, haa feared it for a moment, for they knew, before they aaw o? heard of Sneak-ing-up-kehlnd Brooke Bully Bragging Brooks Runnlng.away Brooks, that whenever inviteJ to try their hand, these blusterers don't wsnt to "run a gauntlet" among freemen. Our readers sre aware 1 hat this threatning to dlsaulv ths Union hss corns sttogether from the pro slavery men snd their northern abetters. No man hss evtr hssrd a friend of Free epeeoh and Freedom, threaten to diso Ivo the Union, in eaaa of Buohanaa'a election. They intend to pick their flints and try it again. They lutsnd to appeal to the reasons of men, snd out vote their opponent when they can, and more, they Intend to do thst, this fall, If possible, snd then save the Union by a Burlingsme challenge to the aeuthern fire eaters, to come snd dieeolve, If they think it a healthy operation. From our heart, we pity the cowardly, cringing alave who atanda trembling, asvlng "I would lik to stop tb apread of alavery I amo pposed to the extension of sisvery, but If I vote sgslnst it TBI suUTB will DissoLvi th usioR t They srs meaner snd more deepiaable than the ringing negro who trembles st ths up lifted laah of his mister. The black man doe not pretend to be ire -knows nothing about freedom, while the white alave calla himself a freeman, yet is a most object alave, for want of thoss elements cf msnhood thst constitute freedom. You csn ususlly distinguish them iron, true freemen by their lasy, cowsrd ly arguments In belts 1 1 of slavery Itself ths slave, they say, ia better off thsn II he were free, charitably, yet unjustly judging the spirit of a negro, by their own luiv. servile spirit, which would rather wear the yoke of bondage than to pay the price of freedom. To ahow our raadera how northern and southern disunionists sgree, snd streagthen each other's hands, we copy 'he following artlclea, one from Toomba the famous fire-eater, thi other from the Cincinnati Enquirer. How s msn csn respect hlmaelf when acting with a party that thus openly avows disunion we can not conceive. Here is Mr. Toombs letter; "WaamaoTox, D. C, July 8, 1830. Our danger Is not from sbrosd, It is st home. The election of Fremont would be the end ef the Union, snd ought to be. The object of Fremont's friende is the cunq .est of the Sjuth. I am conteut that they ahali own ua when they con quer us, but not before. Respectfully yours, R. Toombs." The following from the Enquirer shows thst it is ths duty of the South to secede; "There Is a right above and beyond the ( onatitution a right from the exrrclaeof which this Government apron and that is the right of revolution. That auch a right would be appealed to by the South, in ess this party ahould succeed, there csn be no doubt in the mind of sny msn who knows thtt people, and who confides in the wisdom o( Wsahinrrton ana1 JefTareon. The people of the South are not cowarda not degraded aerfa prepared to submit to the dominion or those whom they rsve ever regsrded aa thair equals. They w uld sooner give liielr bodies to the 'beagles snd their roofs to the flames,' than to live under a Government of which Fremont wss the lived snd Oresly the tail a Government in which Sumner would be Secretary of War, Seward Chief Justice, Wilson Secretary of the Triaury,Chaae Attorney Gene ral, and Utduinga Poatmaater General, rand the Ci iciiitinati Qauttt organist. Wsr, pestilence and famiue, all combined, would be preferable to the deep disgrace of such a Government; and dis union, with sll its horrors, be quite a mild alternative to auch a blasting inI a (it y Enquirer. But we have cause to take coursgs. The worat ia paat The Union Is ssved! When the Hards snd Softs united in New York, word was immediately telegrtphed to Hon James Buchanan where upon he gave the following cheering reply: Mr. Buchanan has roeeirod the resolution of tli Consolidated Convention of the New York Democracy. Their union, st this evsntful crisis, iioneof the grsndest events in our history. Our csr will now westher to tbe storm of fsnsticism, snd the Union must snd shall be preaerved. Tno whole Southern country will hail thia reunion aa a rainbow in the clouds, promising a return of the peace and harmony which prevailed in the good old lime among the aister States. (signed) JAMES BUCHANAN. Really we arc glad, that if the Union is ao eaaily dissolved it is quits ss easily mended, so it need be no great matter after all. But is there sny dsnger? The Louisville Journal tells its tesders that it is nonsense to talk of auch a thing a dissolution of the Union would be tbe immediate overthrow of slavery. It would bring Canada to the Ohio River and rob t iem of all the protection that the confederacy now aflVds it. We are satisfied thit so vital, la the Union to the Institution of Slavery, that were the Northern maases in just indignation to riae up and place William Luoyd Garrison in the Presidential chafr, tbe South would not withdraw. What, withdraw, and lose their slaves by frequent thousands, aa they infallibly would, were the front.er of Freedom pushed to Mason and Dixon's line I Withdraw, and live in a state of inceasant apprehension at the prospect of servile insurrection, or foreign invssion, invited by their p verty end defencelestness 1 Withdraw, snd lose all tne material sd vantages resulting Irom political unity with Northern capital, enterprise and industry 1 Withdraw, and sacrifice thst credit in the great n oney mkrts of the world, without which the internal development essential to prosperous indrpendence could never be achieved 1 Wirbdraw. and submit to thrice the taxation they now endure, to support a federal government, to which the North contributes seven-eights of the revenue All this is p eposterooa; eepeclally preposterous when judged hy the alternative. Tbe election ofjremont, as Toombs snd his fellows are perfectly aware, will impair not one right nor deny a single just claim

of the South; will rob them of no Slave Territory; will aim ply disarm the cambstsntr on bath aides or the Slavery queation, and give peace to the country It will restore the consecrated division line between slave snd free labor; snd that will be the limit of iu interference with Slavery either iu its socisl or political aepeet.

Stop Thief. The thief, who, when holly pursued, joinod in the cry Stop Thief, Stop was 1 1 a a k a a i tuet I was applauded tortus cunning. For the same cunning we must applaud Dr. Berry, and his endorses Esq Brady and Lino and others, for the manner in which they attempt to dodge (he indignation of an outraged people on account of the oppression and wrings of ihe Kansas Law. They bogaa their address at the County Convention by raying : "The committee to report resolutions for the action of this convention, in discharge of that duty, would remark that there hat been no moro im portent potitioal oanvass than ihe proton t, ainoe the existence of the government. The issues botween the political parties are the sa ne in principal aa those that led to the revolution which secured us our independence. The king und parliament of Great Britain denied the capacity of the people for self-government and retused the coloniee tho right to make fheir own laws and claimed the power to impose upon them such regulations as they thuuyht proper. The coloniee, very properly, claimed that they knew better what Uwe they needed, than those who resided without their boundaries, asserted their inalienable rights, appealed to arms Against their oppressors and established tlni government." Who refuse the people of Ksnsss the right to make Iheii own lawst - Who olaims the power to impose upon them such regulations as they think proper ? Who sends the national army into Kansas to make them submit to iawe thus "forced upon them?" VMiy have the people of Kansas asserted their inalienable rights, and appealed to arms against their oppressors ?" Dravo, Doctor. Try again. You may be able to make a few ignorant ones believe that your prty are in favor of the sovereignty of the BOO pie, but reading men will not, until they see the power of the government in defense of freedom and freemen. In thoko declaration of righta and wronga, tb Buffering atuatlera of Kansas can complsin of thu President and hia party in the language of the Declaration of Independence. Tbe analogy between their case and tho patriots of the Revolution is indeed a striking one, but you will labor in vain if you attempt to fasten the blame 00 those who oppose the oppression of that) bill. Hear their language againetyour President: "lie has refused to pass laws for the accommodation of the peupl, unless they woulJ relintjulsh the right of representation in their Legislature, a right inestimable to them, nud formid able to tyrants only : He has cal!"d together Legialative bodies at a place unusutl, unoomforiable and distant from the depository of their public recorde, for the aolo purpose of fatiguing them Into compliance with his measures. He haa prevented Legislative Houses from being elected, for no. ah cause than his eonviolion that they would oppoau with manly flrroneaa Ins invasions on the rights of the people. He haa refused for a long lime nf'er apurious Legislative Houses wore im posed by himself, by usurpation on the people of Kansas to cau e others to bee'eoted, whereby the legislative Cowers, incapable of annihilation, ave returned to ihe people at large, for their exercise, the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the danger of invaaion from without, and civil war within. He has creatod a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people, and oat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies to oompel our submission to a foreign Legislature, and has afTocted to render the milit 1ry independent, of. and superior to lite ine civil power. He has combined with others to subjeot us to a juritdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged hy our laws, giving his assent to their acti of pretended legislation. For protecting invaders of Ksnsas from punishment fcr any murders which they shall commit on the inhabitants of this Territory. For abolishing the free, system of American law in this Territory, estab lishing ih 'rein an arbitrary Govern ment, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing tbo samo absolute rule into other Tei ri lories. For taking away our charter, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the powera ol our Government. For suspending our own Legislature and declaring an usurping Legislature constituted by himnef, invcetod with power to legislate for us in all cases wliitls eve." The most contemptible char acter which any one gives oid Mr. Buchanan is that given by his pro fessed friends in apologizing for his never marrying. The idea that a man acta tri man, and shows himself wor thy of the confidence of min, by dooming himself to perpetual celebaey because he couldn't get the girl of his ürst choice, without a little manlt exertion, is abhorrent to all men, and women too. How much more noble and manlike was the conduct of tlugallant Fremont! Unkwd. After the two jail birds who had been in jail all Summer for stealing, bad followed the fortunes of the piocession last Wednesday evening, and hallowei for Buchanan as lustily as they could, Juda'e Lon'n bHd the cruelly, in one of his fl ght-i of unpassioned eloquence to a-k "Dil you ever know a Democrat to steal?" That was unkind, Judge.

The Ground Taken. The minority n port of Mr. Oliver, of the Kanaaa Inveatiirating Committee, haa been submitted to Congress, and is included in the official publication. The following are ita conclusions: In conclusion, the undersigned begs to report the following "inclusions, aa be be litres, established by ihe testimony and sanctioned by the law: First; That at the first election held in the Territory under th organic aet, for delegate to Congress, Gen John W. Whitfield leoeived a plurality 1 f the legal vote cast, and was du ly elected aueh delegate, as stated in the majority report. Second; That the Territorial LegMature ttwt a effnty conet uted body, and had power to paee valid iatw. ana (Asir enuctmente are therefore valid Third; That these laws, when appealed to, have been used for the protection of life, liberty and property, aud for the maintenance of law aad Older in the Territory. Fourth; that the election under which tho sitting delegate, John W. Whitfiuld, was held, was in pursuance of valid law, and should be regarded as a valid eleolion. Fifth: That as said Whitfield, at aaid election, received a large number of legal voles without opposition, be was duly vlroted s a delegate to this body, and is entitled loaseaton ibis floor as such. Sixth; That tho eleet'on under which the contesting delegate. Andrew M. Herder, claims his seat, wae not held under any law, but in conlemptuuus disregard of all law; and that it should only be regarded as the expression of a band of malcontents and revolutionist, and consequently sho'd be wholly regarded by the House.

Seventh; As to whether or not Andrew II. Heedtr received a greater number of votes of residents on tbe flih than John W. Whitfield did on the 1st of Oclober, 1866, no testimony waa taken by ihe Committee, ao far as the undersigned knows, nor is it material to the issue. All of whieh is respectfully submitted. M. OLIVER. We are glad to see the issue thus boldly mad. In declaring the Kanaaa Legislature to be a legally conttltutvd hudy, and its ensclments valid, Mr. Oliver adbrs eloaely to ihe Democratic programme although he is thus compelled to take grounds fr.un which many of the party shrink. The evidence laken before the Committee, of which Mr. Oliver wa on, shows conclusively how the members of this "Legislature" were elected. There were vightein districts: and, according to the census returna, thero were but ,0O6 legal rotes in them all. Yet 6,4t7 were returned as having been oatt fur Pro Slavery candldatea, 701 for Free-State candidate, and 80 scat teringmaking a total of 6,307. Of ths whole number of votes caat, it was proved that only 1,410 were oatt by legal voters while 4,008 were ille gal voUis. These illegal votes were cast by men from Missouri, who had j been distributed in advance, nnd sent every Council District in the Territory. and into every Representative District hut one. In every diatriot these ill.gal votes outnumbered the legal votea; und the rlections were entirely controlled by them. This is the way this "legally constituted Legialature" waa elected. Thi Colonial and Kaniai. "Two Colonies very pioperly claim ed that they claimed that they knew better what lawa they needed, than those who resided wnhoul their boundaries, asseriid their unalienable rights, appealed to arms againat their oppreaaor and eatabliahed this governmtriVDmocratu Addrtu, tigned by John P. Btady. $f. Let us ask, if it was proper for the colonies to assert their unalienable rights, and appeal to arms, in 1770. why is it wrong for their children, our brothers, to do the same on the plains of Kansas, in 1866 ? Have 80 years wrought any change in tne principles of rijjht and wrong? Or must the chtl dren of the patriots of '76 cower be fore the usurpation of those whoreside without their boundaries? Every dictate of patriotism and bumsnity say no. Yet it was to force the settlers of Kansas to submit to those laws enacted by "those who reside without their , boundaries" that the muskets and cannons of the United States have been sent into Kansas, and American blood has been spilled on American soil, by the American army. It is well known that the settlers have repeatedly avowed their determination to submit to all laws emanating from Congress, but they steadily refuse to obey the laws of the legislature which was elected by Missourians, and composed chiefly of men who were in Missouri. This being true, how can John P. Brady, the President of the Convention, and A. B. Line, the mover of the address, refuse for one moment, to aid their wronged nnd oppressed br ihren in Kansas? That our readers may knew what kigd of laws are enforced laws enacted by "those who reside wi'hout their boundaries," we have published several specimens. We know that the people will hear the entreaties of their kindred, nnd iheir wrongs will be righ ted in spite af tbe scheming of politicians, und the efforts of demagogues to throw lie bi-me of this bloodshed upon ihe opponents of the present administration. Francis P. Blair, Ja. Thit Gen tleman, just elected to Congress from the St. Louis District, is the son ol the distinguished Republican of Ma1 j land, and fully sympathises with the political sentiments of bis father. He will be one of the firmest supporters of Fremont's administration. The election of such a man at this time from Missouri is one of the gteatest triumphs of the age.

Large Crowds. There was a large crowd of men of all parlies at Connersville last week. We have heard it variously estimated at from 5,000. to 250,000. There was one also at Liberty two days after, said by some to have been twice aa large, by others to have been only half as large. They were not counted , and ihe relative number of pro-slavery men and free men couid not be ascertained at eilher. We have made arrangements to have them meet in smaller crowds on the 14th of October, and give in their names and politics, when they shall be duly counted, then, if it does not appear that there are two free men to one advocate of slavery, we will let oor readers know. Come on, Lan Iii ! ;Mr. Moreau lately i. uted Lardoil Robinson to discuss with him the questions at issue between tho parlies. Mr. Robinson, knowing that he could not do it successfully, treated the note with disdain and never answered it, but assuming a lordly, pro slaveiy, domineering tone said that if Mr. Moresu spoke 10 him he would eane bim. To this Mr- Mrreau replied, through ihe Republican, that he had not been 0 lorn out of ihe pro-slavery party ua to have forgotten how to use their most powerful! argument the cane, ao he might come on.
