Moobefteld, Aug. 23,1856. . j . Ed. Reveille: — No occasion probably | ever vailed forth at this place so large, so i intelligent, and so enthusiastic & number | of voters as did tbo Slat, to witness and to tube part in the erection of a Fillmore and Donclsoo pole. From early morn i the hardy yeomanry of that region began to pour into tins generally quiet little town, and long before the lima had am* ved for the erection of the pole, the place was filled to overflowing; and by twelve o'clock, as 1 am it/jwjypfr by the oldest citizens, there people in Moorefield than ever oefore in oneday. In due lime the erection of the polo commenced, and nt I o'clock it stood erect, pointing towards the eternal heju** cos—and from the top floated one of the largest'flags ever, seen in this region, in* scribed npon which was Fillmore and Donelson, and thirty-one stars, mounted' by merman eagle, bearing in its ample daws the olive branch of peace. 1 — Altogether, it is t)ie largest and most tasteful flag that ever waved over the sons and daughters of Pleasant township. The pole tip, the vast concourse of enthusiastic people repaired■ to a pleasant grove near by, and after organizing the meeting by appointing Percy Ilona, Esq., President, and Mr. Oliver Ormsby Secretary, the-multitude wan addressed for about (wo hours by D. II- 11 At lev, E*q., of Cincinnati, in one of the most argumentative and eloquent speeches of the season. He ably but briefly reviewed (he I career of Buchanan through bis various mutations from one parly or doctrine, to another, lie also gave Mr. Fremont a passing notice, ns well at> his wooly brethren. Finally he came to Mr. Fillmore, and briefly noticed his past coreer; showing that he was honibit, just and consci _ entions, ami a man the people can tmst in these troubled limes. .

\ Mn. Editor: —Hie importance of the ‘ Jubject will 1 presume be a sufficient apology to ask you to publish the following [Report, made to the Jefferson Township Trustees, of the doings of the board for three years past, showing conclusively the superiority of the present law, when fully carried out:

y«T*y ( Wednesday,. Anguat 37, X856,

For Towssiiipv Purposes.

X5r Tlie Buchaneer party, as is stated op all of their show bills, is a coalition of whigs and democrats. Some of the whig editors in the Buchaneer party retan all of the bitter hatred which existed between the old Jackson and Clay men, while the leaders and speakers of the democratic organization seem to have forgotten their ancient hatred to Mr. Clay, The whig editor abuses Gen. Jackson as of yore; the democratic editor eulogises Clay. The Louisville Courier is one of the Buchaneer papers that speaks after the manner of whigs in 1840 and 1844. It says of Gen. Jackson's letter, published recently, in regard to Buchanan, and the charge of "bargain and sale" in 1824: A private letter, written by Jackson in 1845, jurt before hia death* meanly villifying Buchanan' and charging him with cowardice and falsehood, is shamelessly dragged forth to degrade Buchanan. The infamy of the affair rests upon Jackson for writing his letter, and next upon those who have brought it to light for political effect now for the first time. They who "heap apprbbiom mountain high upon the grave of Jackson,” arc they who have dishonored him aud;iiegraded : themselves by publishing the unfortunate private letter of the insanely''vindictive old tyrant, in litis very letter, proved that, to the last, no touch of justice of magnanimity towards on opponent ■ hr rival entered his breast, and that, bis only use for* friends was to make tools of them. If Buchanan had, in 1827, Instead of faithfully given truthful testimony;: as ho duf, corroborated Jackson's charges against Clay. Jackson never would have wriilcnhi* infamous secret letters of 1845.. *. * * We believe'that;history ’convicts Jackson of slandering . Clay,- and then convicts him of slandering Buchanan because he would not perjure himself by supporting the slander against Clay.- ,* * If any democrats should be'displeased at our opinion of J auk son; if they think wo should admit the truth of a cowardly secret, and slanderous letter which assails the truth and moral cutirage of Buchanan only because it purports to have been written by Jackson; all we have to say is, that they have mistaken our character for independence and lure of truth and justice, and their mistake can make not' the slightest change in our convictions and conduct. Bat we don’t believe there is a candid democrat in America who does not entertain precisely our own opinion of Jackson's secret letter slandering Buchanon, which only disgraced the writer.

There has been received from taxes, in that time, with cash ou hand in March, 1863, 8578,27; and there has been paid in the same time 8238,50—of which the Trustees, Clerk and Treasurer received 8208,50; on hand 8339,77.- The assessment made last year for township purposes, was made through mistake; hence there is mure money in the treasury for that purpose than wtlH» required for several years; our lax was os small as that of ouy other township. The expenscs-.of the Board from 1850 to j.853, three yean, was twenty-five dollars more than th« above, with not half J . , . • • r . ’ thj labor performed, required under the present law, . : -

Whereas, by the repeal of the eighth section of the act for the admission of MitsEmri into Union, the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska have been opened to the introduction of Slavery, and all compromises, reas t or imaginary,- upon that subject are thus violated and annulled and deep dishonor inflicted upon the age in which we live.

Now, therefore in co-operation with all those throughout the land who oppose this and other similar measures which we deem to be contrary to the spirit of the constitution and which are designed to extend and perpetuate we do asso date ourselves together under the name of "the Republican Association of Switzerland and Ohio counties," and we adopt the lollowtng an our platform, to wit: First that .Congress has no bower cvci the Mibjest of slavery in the scvecrnl States, but that in the Territories the constitutional power of the Federal Government should be exerted to secure life, liberty, and happinets to all men, and therefore,

The House at I mimito to 12 refused to suspend the rules—131 to C8, not twothirds.

There should be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except for the punishment of crime, m the territories of the United States. j Third, the people ate the rightful source of all political power, and all officers should, as far as practicable, bo chosen by a direct vote of the people.

We can now fumith large flags, auitohte for the highest-poles, with names of candidates upon them, for about half what they generally cost, frr all parties—ijn abort notice.

■ In another column .we givo the report of the Trustees of ihis township.— It will bo rend with interest by the taxpayers of the .township,- Mr, McCullock, the president of the Board, has been very faithful .and attentive to his arduous and responsible duties, and has; been by far the most efficient Trustee ever elected by the p e opl e o f tJeffcn- on township. ;

Aftor.Mr, Bailey closed, Milton Stapp, Esq.','of Madison, was culled.for,-but the hoar being late,, ho detained, the crowd bat a short time; but during the brief timi he occupiedilho stand, ho touched the patriotic chord of many an old man, who had not been at a meeting.of the kind .for. years. The whole concluded in generous harmony,. amid bursts of ap* plame, the booming of cannon and patriotic campaign songs, that fairly madeihe forest ring. - The pole is of ash wood, and stands about two hundred feet above iho ground. - The'flag is 87 feet long and 0 feet wide/ v

The yeas and nays were ordered, but before tbe roll was the Speaker announced tho adjournment of t ie Home, in accordance with the joint' resolution fixing the hour, ‘ 1 The members lingered in the hall, «omc lamenting, others rejoicing over the defeat of the army bill.

We freely add tins praise in favor of Mi. 0.,liotwitbs:aDdtDg.ttio fact that he abused us in a speech at a public meeting the other, day, and bore false witness against up. W« hope by following the Divine-injunction, of; "doing good to those who persecute and despilefiillyiiee us,” to kill off Mr. C.’s enmity.

I Attendance of scholars in school—in 1853, 524; in 1854,374; in 1855,340— average,. 343. It will he observed that nf the enumerated, children, hut little more than' tWo.lhirds attend school, and only about half of them regularly. Surely tins is evidence enough of the necessity .of a Jaw-lo compel parent’s to send their children to free schools; The average cost of tuition was about one. dollar anti ten cents per quarter a scholar. There is belonging to the township two brick, one stone, three frame, and one log school house; also, one frame school house per mnncntly secured to it, and the use of Jefferson Church for,. one * district - until they get d house of their own; two.of those were built*.Iast ycar, and two new onca are, much- needed at Center Sqnare and Boyd’a Ridge. None of them are seated as school houses might to be.

Public Speaking and Pole Raising.*

Whereas, AYhiJe hostilities exist with various Indian tribes on the remote portions *if the U. S,, whilst in other respects peace is seriously threatened, Coiigrcss has adjourned without granting necessary supplies for the army, depriving the executive of power to perform his dnty in relation to common defence and security,' and nn extraordinary occasion has limn nii-cn for assembling the two Houses of Congress; I do therefore, in this my proclamation. convene said Honses, to meet at the Capitol tn the city of Washington, on Thursday, the 21st day of Ang., hereby requiring the reactive Senators and Representatives (hen and there to assemble, to consult and determine on such measures as the Stale of thp Union may seem to require. , In testimony whereof, I have caused tho seal of tho U.

A: fine time is anticipated, and the Fillmore men of Indiana are invited to attend.

The Missouri Ccmpromtso.

We had occasion recently to look over the volnme of Files* Rtgititr which contained (he record of-the passage of the Missouri Compromise, and read with interest the following editorial comments of that jonrnal on the event which had just occurred. They show that the Compromise was regarded as a finality, and little less bindingthan a provision .of the Constitution; ■ ’ .

On next Thursday there will bo another pole robed at; 01 instead'a store. There is ho doubt!but old Pleasant ia all right, notwithstanding (lie ! charges ( of 'Abolitionism made against them the Old Liners, There were at least 1000 persons present: ; • . y ■ ■

“The-'voles on this qncstiun'conclusive ly prove, that a large; majority in both houses ■H'erftof opinion that Congress hoids a constitutional riff hi An inhabit slavery in the territories of the United States, without their original limits; though many adverse to the restrict ion bn Missouri, may have thought it expedient to impose finch restriction.: The, territory north of degrees north’Jatilnde is ’foubver* forbidden to be peopled with slaves; except in the State of .Missonn. '.,The right, then, to inhabit slavery, in any of the territories is dearly .and completely acknowledged, and it is conditions! as to. some of them lhat even when they become States slavery shall be forever prohibited in them.— Thera'is norhardahip in thisV the territories belong to (he United' States, and'the government'may rightfully prescribe the terms on'which it will dlspose'of the public lands, - Thin great point was agreed to tn the Senate, 83 votes to 11, and in the House 134 to 42, or really by .139 to 87; imd we (rust that it is determined ‘forever’ with respect to the countries now subject to the legislation of the government. It is trno the Compromise is supported only by the letter of a law, repeatable by the authority which enacted it; but the circumstances of the case give to this law.o morel force equal to lhat of a positive proofs* ion of the Constitution, and wo do not hazard anything by saying that tha Constitution exists in its observance.”

It was the. wish of the Board to test the practibility of: the graded system in the country, hut the failure of the special lax of 1854 prevented them.

Such acts as the following, committed in our midst, should set people to terioutly thinking: i On Wednesday last a most nofot Innate and lamentable occurrence took place at Noblcsville, in Hamilton county, Indiana. The circumstances, as related to us by-men of character and veracity, are these: Three or fonr white men were at a small grocery at Noblesville, near the cast road bridge, and were inside, in peaceable con versation among themselves. A negro, with a swaggering air, probably intoxicated, came into the yoom and made use of loud words, saying that ha was a Fremont man and wanted to kill .at least twenty Buchanan men. One of, the white'men told the negro to leave the room, but he refused. The white, mad then took hold of him, the negro Tha white man soon put him oat, but the. ngro was for fight,and the while'man gave him a pretty severe thrashing. .After this was over and the white man had gone into the house again, the negro came back again and swore be would kill them, and that he in* tended to kill twenty white men before be stopped. He stuck his bead into an open window-near the door and saw where the men were standing, and then came to the door, stuck bis arm in with a pistol in his hand, and shot Mr. Win. Edwards in the breast, the shot causing his death in ten minutes. The negro wag immediately seized, tried, and committed to jail. Mr. Edwards was a peaceable, worthy citizen, and instead of being a Democrat, ho was a supporter of Fremont. Much excitement exists in the vicinity, and there is a general condemnation of the idea of allowing negroes to become parties to political questions. These are the fruits of abolition efforts to bring the races of black and white to a scale of equality. Mr. Edwards was not the man woo fought the negro- —IndtanapoUt Sentinel.

The foregoing exhibit shows that up* wards of seven hundred children have been assigned to eleven school districts, and freo schools sustained in each (with two exceptions) three months in each year and upwards of twenty-five hundred dollars expended for school purposes, and the school library freely circulated, at the enormous expense of 831,50 for the whole period! Under the old system, with its numerous officers, some 80 odd, at one time in our bounds, all entitled to 75 cts. a day for their services, the expenses would not be much less than 8100 for ibesamo labor, and not half so well performed. "Whilst I am free tb admit that the Board might have charged more for their services, yet no honest and reasonable charges made tinder the law, can in any way compare with the expenses under the old system.
