What viii! be the effect on our Bor-

conjecture. A collision may have ta-
ken place ere now, for aught we know
to tho contrary. Our latest accounts
were mastering in the early part Of last
week, with the intention of making
descent on, and taking possession Of
Toledo, on last Saturday, and keeping
possession Of the town till after the time
(Monday) for opening the Court of
Common Pleas for Lucas county had
passed over. On the other hand, the
citizens of Toledo we're prepared to give
the Michaganites warm reception, and

Probably, and which is likely to be the
case, the removal Of Mason, although
there was no successor on the spot,
may have resulted in averting the i'm

SATURDAY, SEE IEMbEh ~, loo5~
q Judge WHrTE's friends in Mis-
souri, have commenced forming an elec-
toral ticket, and it is supposed that the
ticket will succeed by majority of 1000
over Van Buren, in the state.
r The "Pet Banks" at present have
deposited in them Ten Millions of Dollars
belonging to the U, States.
or We are glad to hear that the Els
ders of the Methodist Episcopal Chrsc6
are obtaining the signatures Of all tnelr
preachers, local and otherwise, in Wes-
tern Virginia, protesting against th@
course of that abolitonism which is nov
disturbing the peace and rights of the
county. We hope the example will be-
quickly followed by other denominations
in the same quarter.
D Paris papers to the 3lst Of July
have been received at New York. They
bring no news ofimportance with the ex-
ception that Girrard, the person who at
tempted to take the life Of Louis Phil
lippe, declares that he was instigated by
the Carlists. Fifty-nine persons had been
arrested on suspicion of being concerned
in the plot, among whom was Armand
Correl. Editor of the NATIoNEL.
T On our first page to-day will be-
found extracts from speech ofthe Hon.
JOHN TYLER. He dscloses some facts
not before generally known. That the
aboltioaists are more formidable than
we have heretofore supposed is vesy
clearly indicated by the 1900 female
subscribers to a petition requesting the
abolition Of slavery in the District Of CO.
lumbia. This too shows the dangerous
nature, and the dangerous species Of in.
auence abolitionism is seeking-the poi
soning the minds Of the. rising genera
ton seems to be the object they have NEST
directly in view. Educational prejudices
through this channel are sought for the
petition referred to by Mr.. TYLER proves
it. But we do not despair--we have full
confidence in the patriotism Of the nation,
when concentrated, to preserve the Uni
on, the Constitution, and the Laws as
they are and to put an end to fanatical
abolitionism throughout the whole colk-
try. We think Mr.. TYLER, instead Of
referring the people to state action, might
have more periodically referred them to
the action of the national government.

were approaching the school house.
The teacher fled, Ike an affrighted
deer, leaving the children TO take care
of themselves. The alarmed pupils,
girls and boys, were conducted by one
Of the largest Of the boys TO a swamp,
where they remained in state OF great
alarm until near sunset, when they
we're relieved by the troops which had
been assembled by the vigilant youth
upon whom the dastardly teacher de-
voIved their protection. The troops
then pushed on in pursuit Of The me-
groes, and but for the interference Of
two young men whom they met, and
from whom they learnt it was all a
mistake, and nothing but the gold mine
hands going to work on the road, the
poor negroes would have been slain in
a short time.
This is another evidence Of the mis-.
chief done by the incendiaries. Neigh.
borhoods, hitherto quiet g. thoughtless
Of danger, are now in constant state
of agitation, and every squad Of me-
groes seen together, whether at amuse.
ment or labor, are watched with the ut.
most jealousy and suspicion.
We think the caitif teacher ought
to receive nine-and thirty, at least,
from his own cat-o'-nine tails, for hrs
Premature fight, and his base deser.

Disturbance of a Camp meeting
The prevailing spirit of mobocracy dis.
played itself at a Camp Meeting held
this week, at Northbridge, Worcester
county. We learn that the meeting
proceeded orderly & quietly till Thurs.
day, on which day the congregation was
supposed TO amount to 5000. A large
gang Of naiscreants, supplied with rum
from an unlicensed tavern three-quar.
ters Of a mile distant, commenced their
operations short distance from the
camp ground, by making loud noises,
and insulting females and others.
About ten o'clock, by order OF the
Sheriff, the riot act was read, and the
mob, who by this time were numerous
and furious were ordered to dispense.
After this, the disturbances seemed for a
few minutes to die away; but they
we're soon renewed with increased Viz
cor. The order was now given by the
Sheriff to seize the rioters, many OF
whom were armed with clubs. A strug-
gle ensued between the friends of good
order and the unprincipled, self-ap-
pointed judges of e&pediency, which
resulted in some blows, aud few mo-
derate wounds. One Of our friends
was knocked down. another was struck
o heavy blow in the face, and others
received blows more or less severe.-
Several Of the rioters were wounded,
and one or two / believe pretty severe-
ly. Seven or eight we're arrested, and
the fest soon dispersed.

so cheap, that the citizens became

AN ALARM IN BUCKINGHAM.
A letter was received yesterday even
ing by Mr.. Sands, editor of the Religious
Herald, (but at too late a period for pub
licalion in his paper,) postmarked at
Buckingham, G. Fl. 9th September, CIV
ing some details Of a false alarm of in
surrection in that county. the precise spot
not stated.
The facts, as we gather them, are
these: About nine O'Clock on the
morning of the 4th, as some Of the
scholars Of country school were out
attending 10 their studies, they saw
number Of negroes, seventeen in all,
with their picks and pickaxes lifted in
the air, and one Of the gang giving the
word of command-"March togetheI!"
&C., &c.
The negroes being in narrow lane,
within 70 or 80 yards Of the school
house, the fears OF the children mag
nified their numbers TO great extent,
and the alarm was Immediately given
that the gold mine hands had risen, and

posed holding an Abolition meeting,
however when the hour arrived it be-
came necessary for them to flee the vii
Iage, such was the excitement against
them. The multitude, consisting ofsev.
eral hundreds, being baffled in their at
tempt to seize Thompson they con-
structed an efigy, which was paraded
through the principal streets, and after
wards burnt in the state house park,
and concluded the ceremony with o
display of fire works and the discharge
Of cannon. .

We learn from the N. j. Princeton
Wing, that person who had been enga
ged during the day in distributing aboli-
ton papers, was discovered attending a
meeting of the blacks in the suburbs of
that place in the evening, when NUM-
Der of persons assembled and requested
him to come out; he did SO, after little
parleying, and was conducted to the west
end ofthe town, the company talking the
while about tar, feathers, sc. lie was,
however, released without injury. He
stated that he was the agent of the Phi

of which he had with him.
