The Fremont TRIAL trial of Col
Fremont is still going on, and Judging from
the testimony thus far, we cannot see how
the Cour, can decide otherwise than that the
gallant Colonel did disobey the orders of Gen.
Keaney. In a Washington letter to the New
York Journal of Commerce, we find the fol.
lowing in regard to the probable result:
.'The impression here is, that 1t Col Ere.
mont will be pronounced to be guilty OF the
charges brought against him by Gen. Kearney;
but the Court cannot decide the question
whether Gen. Kearney acted under instruc.
tons which were, as It. Col F. asserts, OBJ,
soete" and " intended for different state Of
things" The judgment and sentence of the
court will be merely matter of form; for the
the Executive will remit the sentence upon
the grounds of defence taken by 1t. Colonel
Fremont"

CLAY STocK RISING AND TAYLOR DITTO FAIL
LING Every thing which we see indicates
that a large portion of the Wing party are in,
favor of Henry Clay as their candidate for the
Presidency in the next campaign. AT the re-

cause they are Clay men. Not word was
said about Gen. Taylor. Indeed, from what
we can gather from passing events in the Po'
ltical world, we think that the Taylor men
are getting particularly scarce just about this

Wars THE MATTER ?-The midnight do
ings of the past week would seem to indicate
that our usually orderly town will, in time,
come to rival the worst portions of the city of
New York, in the line of house breaking and
robbery. The houses of several of our citi-
zens have been broken into at night, within
the last week, and as yet the depredators have
not been discovered. We regret 10 learn that
our worthy townsman, Mr. VIM R. Larkins,
has suffered severely from these midnight Wis
its. He has lost two watches, together with
some other jewelry. We trust that our town
authorities, as we'll as all good citizens, will
be vigilant in detecting these Infamous rascals
N-We would simply say to the Chronicle,
that bubbles are no answers. There is no
doubt but that the Wings Of New York car
ried the State upon the strength of the adop-
ton of the abolition resolution rejected by the
Democratic Convention, and the Chronicle
knows it. We have never pretended that the
whole Of the Democratic party North were
sound on this question. We have for weeks
past, in our paper, denounced the Herkimer
Democrats of New York, and we will contin-
ue to do so. What we would wish to call the
readers attention to. is the rejoicings of the
Federal press in N. Carolina, over a triumph
achieved by such means as those by which
the so-called victory in N. York was brought
about We have said before. and we now
say again, that we will support no man fol
the Presidency. no matter how sound De.
mocrat he may be on all other questions, who
does not repudiate the Wilmot Proviso Will

Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
November 5, 1S47.
The British Government having seen fit to
charge with full postage across the Atlantic
the mail matter which was actually conveyed
across it by the United States mail steamer
Washington, it became necessary, as meas
ure of self-protection, that this government
should take the steps therein authorized, for
terminating the subsisting arrangement be-
tween the two countries, in relation as we'll to
British mails in transit through this country
for their colonial possessions on this CONT
nent, as the ordinary mail intercourse between
those possessions and the United States This
was accordingly done; and those arrangements
will, in consequence, terminate on the sir-
tenth day of the present month.
ihe necessary result will be, that on and
dJter the sixteenth instant, no mail matter des-
t r Tor any of the British possessions on this
oohe,nent' will be permitted to leave the Uni
teo ctates' unless the United States postage
thereon is previously fully paid.

on the western end of Market Street.

Reduction of Price.

Since the outside form of our paper was
made up, the Elk. Com. decided TO reduce
the price of the Bugle from the commence
ment of the New Year, to 81 per annum, if
paid at the time OF subscribing; 81 ,25 if paid
within three months, and 81 $50 if payment is
delayed longer than three months. No SUBJ
s~cription will be received for less than six
months, and subscribers for a half year must
invariably pay in advance. These terms will
be rightly adhered to, and no one must think
himself hardly used, if not a singie days grace
is given.
The reason of the Committee for reducing
the price was two-fold-to extend the circu-
lation of the paper, and TO lessen the %pecunia-
ry loss to which its publication weekly sub
jects them. But if the friends of the Society
and the paper do not exert themselves neither
of these objects will be accomplished, and
the Committee will labor under a yet heavier
burden. Fire hundred additional subscribers
must be obtained-one thousand ought, and
MAY be, by reasonable eXertions of The true
friends of the cause. There are certainly a
least fifty persons in the West who are abun
dainty able 10 promise what the COMMITTEE

ask you to gire ten dollars, but merely TO ad

choose to do it,you can obtain 10 new subscri
bers to the paper, and thus obtain your none
back, and the Committee are DESTROYS yo
should do this, for they would far rather fuI
nish you with ten copies OF the Bugle for til
money you advance, than to receive it as
gift, for by extending the circulation of tn
paper, Anti-slavery principles will be strength
