tvIONEY igARKET AND CODIM:I 7 :9,CIA IN.Pri-'ILIGWNCM CITY, Two o'CLom The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed 'with more animation, and prices of all descriptions mere very fi rm . Th e sales were estimated at 15 ) 0 00 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by ex porters, and 6,000 by the speculators. The Railway hare Market was very active. The weekly t r ade report from Paris states that t he restri c ti ons o f th e B an k i n re f us i ng t o di sc ount Co mmercial paper over 60 days, continue to depress me rcantile tra ns actions, and business which had be en previously dull is now still more so, and is f elt very much at this time of the year, when the vreParations for the winter season generally create acti vity amongst the manufacturers and retailers. 4 . 1 1 this state of affairs the merchants of Paris have t Fl h i g n ed a document addressed to the directors of c Bank, requesting them at the very earliest OPPortunity to re-establish the measure of discount ing bills at 90 days. The effects of this resolution ° ,, f t he Bank act more directly on the operations of th e manufacturersmanufacturers and retailers. The one has in ec neequence to limit the production of his works, 4114 the other abstains from new purchases until th e bank establishes the ordinary terms of dis (°lint• Orders for merchandise from the Unite d St ates and South America continue to arriv e, but t here i s a l most not hi ng d o i ng w ith England and hrhe Continental States. The moneta r y cri sis Continental Europe appears to have restrained all ecimmercial operations with France. At last the atti ngency of the money markets has caused a d c eline in the prices of silks, both raw and manu factured ; and this is likely to continue, as there ar e many of the speculators in this article realising their operations. The intelligence brought from America by the re lative mentions that the advices received out to the increasing tightness of the English and continental money markets had given some dis ea°llragement to the stock operations in New York, 11 ' a the quotations of State Securities and Railway Bonds had consequently ruled heavy. There was u a ctive demand for money, and the confident lectatio n o f cont i nue d l a rge exports of specie to this country, i n di sc harge of a heavy balance of trade)tio precl u d e d th e h o pe of any immediate relaxa th For m ercan til e purposes also, as usual at a t season of the year, the inquiry for accommo da'c'a was increasing. La t or accounts have been received by this oppor fav 1 1 from California. These are generally ef : lir able, especially with regard to the progress is a 2 dl nilling. Trade also appears to have greatly etov e d . Th e k exports of the precious metals last week mou nted to 536,0001., including the sum on board led i lid ") which leaves Southampton to-day for 1 4 a and China. The following are the particu ts of the quantity taken out by this vessel : , 4 -lexand r i a g Id £l,Boo silver ° 193.981 1- ( 3 Ylon gold 5.300 Madra; silver gold Calcutta, silver Total £502,091 private advices received from Paris this morn the report a s li g ht c h ange for the better in th e g e neral aspect of monetary affairs, although Mill 11 Pressure for discount accommodation is to se vere. It is evident that a more cheerful te —in g prevails, which, supposing the crisis to have ac hed its height, will do much to accelerate rest oration of confidence. Hoarding is not being t tri ed on to s uc h au extent as previously, the ec ulative demand for silver, owing to the inter ferencev of the Government, is checked, and the extended coinage of go ld pieces, have all tended to ; 1 4 ' 111 the f ee li ngs o f ap p re h ens i on which of lat e ha ve been so l o udly expressed. With regard t the Money Market here no material change noticeable, but at the same time it may be re marked th a t th e i nqu i ry, b o th a t th e B an k o f E ngland and in Lombard-street, is rather less active. No alteration has occurred in the rates, Lilt many are of opinion that the Directors will Speedily renew their advances on Government Securities. Although the transactions in the market for Dublic securities to-day have not been very nu merous there is r.n improved feeling and an ad "lance of about per cant. has taken place. Some anxiety is manifested to ascertain whether th e Bank of England directors will renew advances on stock. If this were resolved !Pon there can be no doubt but that a further ma terial improvement would ensue. Consols for tr ansfer have been 911 to 92, and 92 to 92 4 1- * For _ the account business has been done at 92 1 ,- 1,92 g if b ut they have since been 924 At the present d ew they are 912 92 and 92i i • The j ' l ew Three per Cents. are marked 91-a 1 and the •-ecluced 91 to 914.

These was a fair ave rage business doing in barley and moss other kinds of spring corn, at full quotations. The flour trade was rather dull. No material change has taken place in she value of grain in the Continental markets. From New York, we learn that largo quantities of wheat continue: to be taken for shipment to this country. Very moderate supplies of home•grovn produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 14,522 quarters of wheat, 5,345 barley, 25,439 oats, 1,473 beans, 469 pease, 535 linseed, 2,(03 rapes)od, 870 sundry seeds, 92 sacks and 2,715 barrels of flour. The quantity cf English wheat receivoi fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise from Eesex and Kent, was very moderato, and a largo portion of it was much out of con dition. The few selected samples on offer were in slow request, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. All other kinds met a dull sale, al ls. to 2s. per quarter lower. By land carriage very little wheat of home produce came to hand. There was about an average supply of foreign wheat in the market. For most descriptions we had a very inactive inquiry ; nevertheless, no quotable change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and a steady business was transacted in them, at extreme rates. The show of barley was by no means extensive. Fine malting parcels were scarce . and iu active request at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts ruled steady, at lute rates. The malt trade was steady, at full quotations. Although the supply of both Irish and foreign oats was good, the oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well sup ported. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re quest, at full quotations. Fine flour moved off steadily, at full prices; but all other kinds met a slow sale, at barely previous rates.

Several arrivals of very good foreign sheep have lately reached this market, and they have carried a large quan tity of internal fat. The beasts are certainly improving in quality, and the calves, from their extreme whiteness, are much in' favour with the butchers. Fresh up from our own grazing districts there was ra ther au increased supply of beasts, compared with Monday last, but their general quality was by no means first-rate. Irish beasts came to hand in fair condition. Selected breeds tt o sea w i e i r s e e d on i moderatenthi s day srequest,e,nnigii at t.lnferior descriptions prices quit e equa l t o met a dull sale, and, in some instances, the quotations ruled rather lower. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,100 short horns ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds; and from Ireland 500 oxen. There were no arrivals from Scotland. For the time of year we were very moderately supplied with all breeds of sheep; nevertheless, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per B:bs. The top figure for Dowus was 53 ; for half-breeds, 4s 10d per 81b-. The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled steady, at 4d per 81bs. above last Monday's currency. The best calves realised 4d per Blbs. Higher prices were realised for pigs; but the demand for them was by no means active. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEIR. From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioners Goulburn and liolroyd ) DISPUTED ADJUDICATION.-THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK To-clay was appointed for hearing arguments on the diTuted adjudication in this case, of which tiro notices had been served, one on the part of the directors, and the other on the part of Colonel the Hon. John King ston Phipp4, a shareholder. Mr. Gifford and Mr. Brown (instructed by Messrs. Linklater and Hackwood) appeared in support of the petition for adjudic4tion. Mr. Bagley, with whom was Mr. Field, appeared on behalf of the directors disputing, viz., George Gillott, Richard Hurst, Richard Hartley Kennedy, Frederick Valiant, Edward and Isaiah Butt. Mr. Lewis appeared for Colonel Ph ippg. Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Gile, a depositor for 2501. Mr. Chidley for Mr. Morrice and other creditors. Mr. Harding (Messrs. Harding and Pullen, the official managers) was also present. The Court was densely crowded. Mr. Giffard objected to Mr. Field being heard on behalf of a shareholder. Mr. Field contended a shareholder W 33 entitled to bo beard, as his interest and property was involved in the winding up of the concern, and referred to the 71st sec tion of the charter of the corporation. His Honour, Holroyd, in conferring with Mr. Corn missioner Goulburn, said that they were of opinion that for this purpose they did not consider that a shareholder could bo heard—four of the directors who had given notice to dispute stood in a position of a per. , on who had been made bankrupt, and was therefore entitled to dispute the adjudication ; but any other person who felt aggrieved might present a patition to annul, that not having been done rho shareholder could not be heard. The Court then proceeded to hear the evidence on which the adjudication bad been made. The debt of the original petitioning being abandoned, another was substituted—that of Mi. Robertson, of Leenidas-terrace, Kent-road, creditor for 1,5001. on a drawing account, was then tendered. Their Honours were of opinion at present that the debt had been wade out, but at a future stage of the proceedings Mr. Bayley might urge any argument *be thought necessary. The learned counsel, for the petitioners, said that as there was a contingency that the debt might be disputed they would add another. Mr. Maxwell, advertising agent, of Nicholas-court, Lombard-street. was then examined on a claim for a balance of 2,0001. This debt was also admitted. A variety of documents having been put in for formal proof as to the different proceedings which had taken place in this court and before the Master in Chancery, which have been reported at different meetings, and the injunction of the Court of Chancery, dated Oct. 1:3, having been also put in and read, the case proceeded, but was ultimately adjourned for further discuaion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) SOUTHWARK. EXTENSIV? ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—AnTh ltoon, a very respectable looking young girl, 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Burchara, charged with stealing goods valued at 401., the property of her mistress, Miss S. Buer, hosier, &c., Brighton. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who is con nected with a good family, had been with her a short time on trial, with the view becoming an apprentice. But a week ago witness had some suspicion that she had been robbing her, and she told her of it. Toe prisoner admitted having stolen stockings, silks, gloves, lace, &0., and made out a list ofgoods amounting to 401. 45., which she had purloined. Witness then brought her up to London to her parents, whom she acquainted of the cir cutnstance3, and on Saturday she called in the police and gave her into custody. 4. pair of gloves and a pieca of silk were found on her, yiiiich witness identified as her property. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis witness said that when the girl admitted having robbed her to a great extent, she asked her to make out a list of the articles and the prices. She did so of her own free will, and when they came up to London something was said by her father and mother about compromising the affair for 35/. Witness did not oppose that, neither did she offer to accept it. That was a day or two before she was given into custody. Sergeant Turpla, 6 M, said he was sent for to take the prisoner into custody, and he received a pair of gloves from her mother, which Miss Buer identified. She was charged with stealing 501. worth of property, and there was nothing said about compromising the felony i❑ his presence. _ . Mr. Lewis contended that the prisoner ought never to have been given into custody, inasmuch as a confession was extracted from her under the promise of forgiveness, and an attempt to compromise the affair for 351. The father and mother of the girl considered that the sum was much beyond the defalcations ; and on their re fusing to pay that demand, she was given into custody. Inspector Mackenzie, who took the charge, stated that he heard Miss Baer say she was willing to compro mise the matter. That was stated in the station-house. Mr. Burcharn said that did not do away with the felony, as property was found on her. The robbery, if any, had been committed at Brighton, therefore, he should send her there for farther examination. The prisoner was at once taken by Sergeant Turpin to Brighton. TIIA Al ES. STONE-THROWING AND A USEFUL WARNISG. —George Bcnford, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with throwing stones in a public road. Several inhabitants, who are rate-payers of Stepney and carry on business in the Commercial-road, attended and complained of the dangerous practice of stone throwing. Many severe casualties bad hlppened, A stone came through a large pane of plate glass in the shop window 61 one of the deputation, and the mischiev ous urchin who threw it made his escape. A stone, thrown by a boy last week, struck a gentleman on the head and inflicted a severe wound. Neither p ireozu nor property were safe, and missiles were flying about in all directions from morn to night. John Phillicam, a police constable, No. 383 K, stated that he saw the prisoner throw a stone at another boy in the Commercial-road, and it nar rowly escaped a shop window. There were a number of idle and mischievous boys constantly throwing stoner. Mr. Selfe observed that the evil of stone throwing had become so very serious that strong and effective mea sures must be adopted to put down the dangerous prat• ' tice. A young gei.tlemau who was being educated at Harrow was struck by a stone thrown in the street a few days age, and was likely to lose one of his eyes. He seldom er ever left that court without observing boys throWing stones, regardless of the danger which attended such as abominable practice. He fined the prisoner 40. i., and in default of payment 14 days' imprisonment, and he gave warning that he should inflicl the same penalty (the highest he could award) in every similar case that was made out.

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE SURREY GARDENS. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The report of the melancholy and fatal accident that occurred last night at the Royal Surrey Gardens, fall particulars of which will be found in another part of our impression, spread with the greatest rapidity throughout the metropolis in an incredibly short period of time ; and, as is too often the case, with great exag geration, and the utmost horror and consternation prevailed; almost every family who had any of their. members absent fearing that they might have been induced to visit the Gardens to obtain a glimpse of a man who, by the eccentricity of his manner in the pulpit, the style of his oratory, and the peculiarity of his arguments, has obtained so much notoriety. This morning the excitement in the neighbourhood of the Gardens was intense, and numbers fl.)cked there to learn, if possible, some particulars of the frightful calamity, and to obtain a view of the grounds and the building. A large body of police was in possession of the grounds and the avenues leading thereto ; and the curiosity of the public was checked by admission being refused to all except those connected with the establish ment, and those who had actual business there. The grounds, of course, show evident traces of the large assemblage of persons, and their precipitate re treat, but so far as the building is concerned the damage, with the exception of the broken glass and balustrade of the stairs, is, comparatively speaking, trifling. On making inquiries this morning in reliable quarters there is much reason to fear that the lamentable accident occurred from the vehement feeling entertained by certain persons against the Rev. Mr Spur geon, , but that they contemplated such a frightful loss of life or such serious injury to numbers, no one can for a moment believe. True, however, it is that a number of persons were assembled to interrupt the proceedings ; and it has been stated that several bad stationed themselves in various parts of the building, and acted in a concerted measure in causing a disturb ance, before the last interference on their part, which was the precursor of the fatal result. Mr. Superintendent Lund, who was present from the commencement, and witnessed the whole of the affair, states that, from the compact mass of persons in the body of the hal!, and the excitement that prevailed, it would have been impossible to have preserved, through out the evening, that order necessary, under the cir cumstances, and the cause of the assemblage, and that as soon as the first ebulition of feeling was displayed all hopes of a restoration to order was at an end. He attributes the result, to say the least of it, to the rash and inconsiderate conduct of thr.e men in the body of the hall who rose up, threw their arms in the air, and shouted "Fire." The effect of that ominous word, in a densely crowded auditory, was electrical, and in the hope of safety recourse was had to flight, which experience has ever proved is sure to lead to the most direful results, and the loss of life and mutilation of so many persons on the present occasion is but another proof of the folly of such rash and sudden conduet. 'fie (treat rush, it appears, was at the western door, and in their eagerness to get out hundreds and thousands were thrown down and trampled on, but by the opportune arrival of a strong body of police, and the °NA and col lected manner of Superintendent Lund, whose conduct on this occasion cannot be too highly admired, so arranged and marshalled his force that to it is to be attributed the saving of many lives and much injury to others. He caused the police to concentrate in a firm body in front of the door, and by giving a temporary check to the immense body of persons who were pouring out like a "rush of mighty waters," as described by an eye witness, many of those who had been thrown down were able to regain their footing with only a few bruises. But the most strange and unaccount able conduct of all is the feelings which actuated several of Mr. Spurgeon's followers in the midst of this appalling and frightful catastrophe, and were it not that we had it on the undoubted authority of Mr. Superin tendent Lund, •we should be incredulous to the fact. At the same time that shrieks rent the air from women, children, and men, and all were seeking for safety in precipitate flight, the jingling of the begging -box was distinctly to be heard from a dozen different parts of the building, and the reason alleged, we were in formed from another quarter, was that although an an cident had prevented the rev, gentlemen from preaching,. the rent of the Music Hall must be paid, and in all probability a heavy demand would be made for repairs. The appearance of the body of the Music Hall as soon as the persons had left was of the most peculiar charac ter, from the incongruous mass of shawls, capes, bonnets, caps, hats, coats, Wellington boots, and other arti c l es o f wearing apparel strewed over the oor, which have since been removed to Locke's-fields Station to be claimed by their respective owners. Such a calamitous occurrence has had a most dis tressing effect on the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon's family. The whole of them are suffering the greatest distress of mind from such an untoward occurrence, and it is feared that the rev. gentleman's health and mind will be affected by it. He is labouring under such an alarming state of ex citement that we were informed to-day, on calling at his residence, No. 3, Bengal-place, New Kent-road, it had been found necessary to remove him to the country, and that in all probability a considerable period must, elapse before the reverend gentleman will (if he ever can) resume hie. ministerial duties. At the police station at Locke's-fields, the police were engaged nearly the whole of the morning in giving an swers to numerous inquiries made by distant relatives of the dead and injured persons, and at the top of the street, emerging into the Walworth-road, a large crowd of persons had assembled to obtain a sight of the origi nators of the melancholy accident, whom it was stated in a morning contemporary were in custody, but after waiting a considerable time their patience being ex hausted they departed, no person being in custody, but it is hoped they will be discovered and, if possible, severely punished. An official survey of the building took place this morning, when the roof and other parts (the staircases excepted where the balustrade gave way) were found to be secure, and not the slightest indication of insecurity could be found in any part. The following is the official list of persons killed and injured : At the dead-house. Newington Workhouse : Samuel Heard, 30 years of age, 8, Alie-street, Ber mondsey New road, labourer. Mrs. Barlow, 19, Bath-street, London-road.

Seeing the state of the unfortunate woman, Mr. Henry Matthew, surgeon, of Walworth-road, and Mr. Otway, surgeon, of Canter. bury-row, Newington-road, performed the Cmsareau operation, but unfortunately the mother and child had re ceived such injuries that killed both.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—As the day of election ap proaches the Republican journals begin to be filled with rumours of projected fraud from the opposing party, of which the following, from yesterday's Tribune, may be taken as fair specimens : "Preparations for enormous frauds have been made in view of the approaching election in Pennsylvania. This we intimated the other day, and now have positive data upon the subjecle In Philade:phia it appears that between 10,000 and 15,000 names have been added to the extra assessment lists, mainly by the Border-ituflian Democracy. There are 4,000 ip Illillward's district alone. We are informed that it the attempt. is male to carry it out on any such wholesale scale as is threatened collisions at the polls cannot be prevented. The people of Pennsylvania will not submit with patience to Califor nia ballot-stuffing, or be barefacedly cheated out of their rights." The friends of Mr. Buchanan do not manifest much confidence in carrying Pennsylvania in the gubernatorial election next week, but speak boldly of their chances in November. The States of Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania aro to vote next week. These elections will show how the public current is running in those States. Virginia is just now the hotbed of American politics. The Democratic party there take the ground of disunion if Fremont is elected. I sent you: last week some extracts fromv,a speech of the Governorof the State made in Richmond, in reply to a remarkable speech from Mr. John M. Botts. The day after that letter was written another nul lification ex-Governor of that State spoke from the steps of the Merchant Exchange to some thousands of the democracy of New York, in which he made use of the following language : "To resume the thread of my discourse, yen will per ceive that under these doctrines which they propose to adopt a convention should be called in any of the States, if it happen to suit the advocates of the higher law doc trine, and overturn the Existing Government. When you come to take these things in their connexion, there could not have been a m o r e f ear f u l prece d ent. To show how determined this sectional party were to carry out principles which would confiscate our property and dis turb our domestic peace and tranquillity they had nomi nated a candidate on the sectional platform. Fremont's letter of acceptance shows that he understood that, be cause he made a distinct allusion to the subject of this difference, is which they have endeavoured to get up civil strife in the bosom of the Slave States themselves, merely because that species of cause was unequally dis tributed, so that we have a right to expect, if this party should get into power—we would have a right to expect from their Administration the whole power of this party would be used to get up strife within the Southern States, not merely to set the black man against the white, but to sow reads of dissension among white men thee - salve , . We know that in the Slave States they cannot effect any such purpose, for white men under stand the vital interests of the white race to preserve the existing relations of thing. , But this party would .be willing to use their power, if it should be given them, to effect such a resut. Sapp3se that they were to elect a President upon such pri. c pies, and that they were to administer the Government in that way, where would the south be placed ? Do you suppose that they would agr. eto tacrifics their own ecn3titutional rights? Do you suppose that they Would remain in the Union ? Well did Mr. Fillmore ask of the citizens of the States whe her they would suffer the Government to be admi nistered in any such a way. It was an appeal made to the sense of justice of 10,000,000 of people in these United States. Could the south consent to remain in the Union in which the constitution was to be treated as null and void, so far as they were coucerned It is utterly impossible that the Government should be ad ministered upon such principles without leading to the de.truction of this Union. I want- to ask you, northern men, whether there can be any consideration in the election of a sectional President, such as Fremont, to justify the north in imperilling such institutions as ma terially, politically, and siociatty affect the preservation of the Union ? Before doing that, psrmit me to show you those doctrines upon which they are agitating the public mind and seeking to subvert the social system of the south would be as destructive at the north a,s at the south. I will show you that these doctrines can lead to nothing but anarchy everywhere. This higher law pro scribes the institution of slavery and nullifies the protec tion of the constitution, because it violates that cardinal political maxim that all men were created equally." It is not the largo southern slaveholders who make use of such rhodomontade, or, to use an Ameri canism, have not yet incorporated in the mother tongue such hyperlenten. Mr. John Minor Botts ' has effectively replied to all such sentiments—re plied, too, in the State of Virginia, and among slaveholders. His speech is worth reading as a specimen of manly out-speaking in a community opposed to him in sentiment, and particularlysore on the questions ho attempts to discuss. It is the most remarkable document which the " cam paign" has yet produced ; and it is particularly re markable for the common sense view of things in the midst of ultraism. Of the slavery question, which is agitating the country, he speaks distinctly. No northern re publican ever used more explicit language than the following : Now, gentlemen, I want to tell you something about this question of slavery, and what I think about it. And, first of all, I want to tell you what is my own position upon it; and for that purpose I had better, as it has appeared already in print, and that there may be no tnisrepresentation upon it, read what I have already said. These gentlemen have seen it, and I itent them to see it again :—My position on the question of slavery is this, and so far from wishing to conceal it, I desire it should be known to all. Muzzles were made for dogs, and not for men, and no pres and no party can put a muzzle on my mouth so long as I value my freedom. I make bold, then, to proclaim that I our no slavery propagandist. I will resort to all proper remedies to protect and defend slavery where it exists, but I will neither assist in nor encourage any attempt to force it upon a reluctant people anywhere, and still less will I justify the use of the military power of the cours try to establish it in any of the territories. If it finds its way there by legitimate means it is all well ; but never by force, through any instrumentality of mine. lam myself a slaveholder, and all the property my children have in the world is slave property, inherited from their mother ; and he who undertakes to connect my name or my opinions with abolitionism is either a knave or a fool, and sometimes both. And this is the only answer I have to make to them. I have not connected myself with any sectional party or sectional question ; and, so help me God, I never will. That is the only answer I have to make you upon the position I occupy on the slavery question. (Cheers.) Why, gentlemen, there never was so arrant and so impudent a humbug—that was my expres leen—l will use it again —there never was so arrant and so impudent a humbug attempted to be practised upon the credulity of humanity as this question of slavery. Wh y , gentlemen, slavery is in no more danger than the coat I have on my back is of being taken away—not halt as much, because they talked about lynching me, I believe, and yet I am not afraid of anybody taking my coat off ; nor am I afraid that any man in this State will dare lay tife weight of his finger upon my coat. What will you expect the north to do ? They will resist the extension of slave territory, and they will resist the admission of Slave 'States. As Mr. Seward truly said, the day cf compromise has passed away. Aye, and it has passed away by the judgment and decision of the Democratic party, who are alone responsible. (Cheers.) . Well, now, how are they going to disturb slavery as it exists in the States ? Are they going to send an army down here to do so ? I don't understand by what pro cess they mean to do it. I will tell you where the dan ger is. In your runaway slaves—an evil which has been greatly aggravated by the additional facilities of travel afforded by the railroads, and the greater intelli gence which the Slaves acquire by increased intercourse through the same medium. Your remedy is to prevent them as best you can, and to punish an abduotor wher ever you can find him. There is another danger, and that is, by keeping the Democratic party in powEr• (Cheers.) Now, I will show you that if you expect thet Fillmore or Buchanan will either help you to the exten sion of slave territory, or the admission of Slave Sates, you are mistaken. I say that all men at the north are opposed in the abstract and upon principle to the exten sion of slavery. They will no t di s t ur b it w here it e x s , but they ar e no t go i ng t o h e l p you f or th e extension lst of helps to slave territory. And why ?
