SHAKING IN THE WIND.-The Newburyport
Union,s Freesoil paper which still advocates the
election of Mr.. Sumner as Senator if it were pos
sble. says the for the substitution Of some
other candidate for Mr.. Sumner seems to us to
be conclusive" 1t goes on to say I" As three
weeks are to elapse before another trial is to be
had, there will be ample time in which to effect
am arrangement, if such thing be possible"
This, we believe, is the first public confession of
the intention of the Abolitionists in the Legislature
to change their candidate although there have been
several rumors that they thought they had made a
mistake in pressing him, and that he was quite
willing to leave a position that confers notoriety
rather than fame 1t is pretty well understood also
that the substitute to be offered is Mr.. RANToUL,
who has followed up his nine days service in the
last Congress by an agitation abolition speech al
Lynn. If, under the circumstances, he is rfomi-
mated, 1t is pretty clear that Mr.. Scattering will
nave the majority three weeks hence.

MEXICAN CLAIMANTS.

We see it stated in New York paper that the
Secretary of the Freasury had appointed house
in Washington to pay the claimants under the trea-
ty with Mexico the amount which would be re-
spectively awarded to them by the Board of Com
missioners now sitting in this city. Having made
the needful inquiry on the subject we are authorlz-
ed in saying that no such appointment has been
made by the Secretary who, on the contrary, has
not decided in what mode those payments shall be
made.
The Board of Commissioners have nearly closed
their labors, and will by law finally terminate them
on the 18th instant. The whole amount Of their
awards, it is said, will within the three and
quarter millions stipulated in the treaty. The
awards will not be payable until thirty days after
the Commissioners have closed their proceedings.

FUGITIVE SLAVE RIOT.

Mr.. Gorsuch, the owner Of two fugitive
slaves from Baltimore county. Nd, &C.
companied by his Two sons, and five or six
officers from Baltimore and Philadelphia,
went to Christana, near Lancaster, Pa,
to capture his runaway slaves. The COL
ored population in the vicinity having been
informed Of the nature Of the visit OF Mr..
Gorsuch and his party, they held meet
ing, and it is stated that several leading
abolitionsts advised the colored people to
resist the officers. Accordingly, about 80
negroes assembled, with guns, &C., and
secreted themselves in the neighboring
woods and cornfelds. The signal of at.
tack on the officers was the blowing Of a
horn.
When the officers came upon the party,
they were surrounded on all sides, and a
deadly fire poured upon them by the me-
groes. At the first fire Mr.. E. Gorsuch,
the owner Of the fugitive slaves, was in
stanty killed, one of his sons mortally
wounded. Another of the party. was also
much hurt. A Philadelphia officer was
fired at five times and missed

JUDGE AND SEN ATOR.

BY reference TO another part Of to.day's
paper our readers will find the proceed
ings of the Democratic Central Commit.
tees of Guernsey and Monroe counties,
relative 10 candidates for District Jud ge
and Senator. This meeting was held in
pursuance of call made by the Guern-
sey committee, and addressed to the com.
mittees of Belmont and Monroe. The
committee oi Belmont county did not meet
the committees Of the other counties.
The Monroe and Guernsey committees,
in view of the fact that no nomination was
made by the late Judicial Convention,
deemed it advisable 10 make recommen.
dation TO the District, so that there might
be some concert of action at the coming
election. .a.a
The name of VIM. C. WALTON, in pur.
suance of said recommendation, is there.
fore placed at the head Of our columns as
the candidate for District Judge. II is not
necessary for us to urge the people OF this
county to support Mr. Walton. All they
want to know is that he is candidate
and as matter OF course he will receive
their suffrages. And we are very much
mistaken if he does not get the largest
majority that Monroe county ever poled
for State, District or County candidate.
The name Of JOHN FERGUSON, Of Guern.
sey county, is also placed in the ticket as
the Democratic nominee for Senator. And
we can cheerfully say to the democracy
of Monroe that we believe him TO be a
man in every way worthy Of their support.
We expect to see a majority Of about 1900
rolled up for him on the end Tuesday Of
next month. aa @ e gua1
Our ticket is now complete. Let the
candidates and their friends 60 10 work

OUR RCANDIDATEF FOR STATE TREAS
URER.

Several casual notices and paragraphs
have appeared in the Statesman upon the
character and talents of JOHN G. BREsLIN,
since the opening Of the present cam
paign. But in pursuance of our plan in
relation to all the candidates upon the
Democratic Ticket, we propose TO glance
briefly and hastily at Mr. BREsLIN's life
and career, so far as we have materials.
There are good reasons, it is believed,
why this course should be pursued. too,
obvious to require much particularly OF
statement. There are many more can
ddates before the people for their suffrages
at the next State election than any here
tofore ever held. A special if not full
enunciation OF each candidates claims
and qualifications, with distinct reference
10 the Office for which he is nominated,
will tend 10 prevent confusion, however
slight or great, in the minds of voters, as

Offices TO be filed.
Mr.. BREsLIN is a native Of Pennsylya-
MIA. AT a very early age he emigrated to
Ohio, in the capacity Of wagon boy for q
