Death Of yabez d 11amt1ond.

Hon. JABEz d. HAMMOND, well known as
political historian of the State, died at his
residence in Cherry Valley last Saturday
evening He was formerly a resident of AL
oany, out has made Otsego county his home
for number of years past. He entered DO
litlcai life as early as 1914, when he was cho-
sen TO represent the Otsego District in Con-
gress. On the expiration of his term in 1917
he was elected to the State Senate. and helss
a seat there until 1921. Resuming the prac-
tice of his profession, ON the expiration Of his
term, he became subsequently known as one
OF the most prominent members of the har.
in the then Western portion of the State
In 1888 he was chosen County Judge, and
about that time commenced his "Political
History of the State of New York" To
write record of party struggles, in which
the writer had SO largely shared, was deli
cate and arduous task, but it was accomplish
ed by Judge HAMMOND with remarkable i'm
partiality. The result was unique in char
acter, but one exceedingly valuable to the
politician and the jurist, and one which the
student or the statement could hardly spare
1t will endure, to transmit his name to pos
terity.
In 1913 Judge HAMMOND was elected to
succeed MIR. VAN buren, as Regent of the u
University, and continued a member of the
Board until the time of his death. In the
private relations of life he was deseryedlv es-
teemed and respected by a numerous and
warm circle of friends.

Republican Mass Meeting.

CINCINNATI, Wednesday, Aug. %, '55
The Republicans held mass meeting here
last night. 1t was addressed by the Hon. S.
p. Chase, l.. d. Campbell and Capt Ford
Mr. Chase denied that his election to the
United States Senate was owing to an ar
rangement giving two Democratic members
seats as State Representatives for their votes;
denied being Disunionist. No expression,
sentence or letter had ever come from him
that was not loyal to the Union. lie had no
sympathy with the Garrison party of the
North or with the Nullitiers of the South
But he thinks that the Slavery question has
been precipitated by the Kansas bill, and
had now become paramount and imminent
He would not interfere with Slavery where
it exists by law, but was opposed to its ex-
tension over new territories. 1t mustno in
terfere with us. We are the great bond of
the Republican Union. We must rescue
Kansas from the grasp of the Slave State in
vaders. Ohio pays one-tenth of the nation
al expenses retrenchment was needed. He
had always favored internal improvements.
lie was severe on the Administration for ia
Vorlng Southern interests.
Inc meeting was orderly and enthusiastic;
'ilree or Jour thousand persons were present.

Bridge, the Fort, and other sights. On the
way we formed the lnpinion that the Mime
sotians are an intensely patriotic people, for
our driver, when be- wished his steeds to
progress rapidly, instead of saying 'go-lang,n
would cut them with his whip and shout
!" Hail Columby. y Where national feelings
are thus instilled, even into horses, what
fear of disruption of our glorious Union!
We went up ON the top of an observatory.
At the door is a motto, I" pay your dime and
climb" We couldn't tell what poet that
was taken from, though l have faint recol-
lection of a siihilar passage in Arstophane's
Clouds. From the top we observed small
house, about four feet square and eight feet
high. On its summit was chanticleer, done
in brass, and over him hoated the American
flag. There was door, but no windows in
the edifice: j. asked what that was The
driver answered, "a powder magazine" /
thought he was mistaken, and did not put
much faith in his accuracy after that. At
Minne-ha-ha Falls ID. remarked, cts sin
gular tho no one has improved this water
power" 1 comforted him by observing that
it was a new country, and needed capital as
yet.
When we had been out to White Bear
Lake, and all other points of interest, VIC
settled up our bills, and came to the conclu.
sion that in st. Paul people have just sense
of the duty of making money. We discov-
cred that they had made very nearly the
amount of our respective piles. So we hur-
ried off. We stopped few days, and camped
out, above Lake Pepin, shot grouse, caught
trout, and saw Sioux encampment. W.
have since regretted that we did not shoot
some four or five Indians, but as we had
nothing but No. 8 shot, and no ice to pacl
the game in, it is as well, perhaps, that it die
not occur to us to do SO at the time.
Our narrative stops here.
Yours, SIMON.

A North Western Echo for st, Louis.
SIMON.

One of the editors of the st. Louis Intell;-
gencer, who has been making tour of the
Upper Lakes, including Superior, stalking
notes" has crossed over to the upper Mime
sofa country, from whence he writes as fol
lows, in regard to the result of his obserya-
tons:
"For the trade of this territory, she has
and ever can have, but one rival but that
rival is a formidable one, and not to be des.
pissed, as the course of your city would indi-
cate, 4" The mistress Of the inland Seas Of Amer
ica," is a proud title, but one which the city
of Chicago richly merits. She stands, like
the angel we read of in the Apocalypse, with
one foot upon the earth and one upon the
sea, and claims both as her dominion. Her
winged messengers of commerce" whiten
the bosom of the great lakes, and her rail
roads radiating from a common centre, ira
verse the distant prairies even to Ohio, and
far beyond the great Father of Waters Let
st, Louis beware the Goth is upon her, and
unless she cXerts herself with an energy pro-
portionate to the danger, the shouts of the
conq;,ering hordes of her rival will soon be
heard at her gates, and she will be despoiled
of the richest portion Of the commercial En-
pire.
The merchants of St. Louis wrangle on
Change about the expediency of advancing
a few thousand dollars to insure the opera
ton of the only road she has that can secure
her trade that she would not otherwise
have. The merchants of Chicago are patient
ly projecting and prosecuting new works,
tendin" to increase her commercial facilities,
and making other territory tributary to her
growth and prosperity.
The policy of Chicago is, however, not con-
fined to opening avenues of trade but she
likewise seeks to control that trade. The
merchants do not wait for the country to
come to the city with its products, but you
find them or their agents in every part of Tie
State accessible by railroad, or canal, buying
the surplus products of the soil. A continuous
stream Of wheat from Illinois and Iowa is
now pouring into her capacious graneries, and
large flats daily leave her ports, bearing these
stores to some distant market.
a large quantity of wheat was purchased
i'll the extreme Southern part of Illinois ear
ly in July, forwarded to Chicago by the Cen
trail Railroad, and reached the New York
market i'll the 18th of the same month. 1t
is not SO much the position which Chicago
occupies, as the energy and enterprise of her
people which have built up for her such an
trade, the growth of which is with
out a parallel"

BOSTON, w edne6My, aug. - A600. -
The Oommittees Of the different politie 81
parties met at the United States Hotel this
forenoon, upon the invitation IF the Commit
tee recently appointed at the Chapman Hall
Fusion meeting, for the purpoce ofun.t ting if
a general call for a Convention of the people
of the Republican platform. i
The Know-Somethings, Know othings
and Republicans, or Free Sellers, were rep-
resented, beside the Committee appointed
at Chapman Hall. The. four Committees
held separate sessions, and appointed sub
Committees, at the suggestion of the Chap
man Hall Committee, to confer and fix upon
a plan of operation. Said sub Committee
subsequently reported in favor ola Conven-
ton of Delegates, to be elected by the people
in primary assemblage, who are opposed to
the further extension of slave territory. All
the Committees except the Chapman Hall
Committee accepted the proposition. The
four Committees then went into Commit
tee of the Whole, and after very long and
exciting discussion the Chapman Hall Com
mitlee withdrew, refusing to allow any other
Committee to have voice in the call for a
Convention, and insisting upon Mass in
stead of Delegate Convention.
The remaining committees recognized and
uISOu tuc pCOp1c VI
Massachusetts who are opposed to the ex-
tension of Slavery to assemble in primary
meetings in the several towns and cities and
elect delegates in the proportion of three for
each representative to a convention held on
a day to be agreed upon hereafter, for the
nomination of State officers. This call was
Immediately signed by the Know Nothings,
know-Somethings, Republicans, Free-S Sellers,
Wings and Democrats, embracing several of
the prominent men of the boiling Committee.
The Chapman Hall Committee was consider
cd dictatorial. The call will unouestionably
produce Republican movement like those in
Ohio, Indiana and Maine. 1t is reported that
the Chapman Hall Committee think of call
ing Mass Convention of the people.
Among the names attached to the call for
Delegate Convention are the Hon. J. w.
Foster of the Governors Council, ex-Gov
Boutwell,, the Hon. Ives Phillips, JAS. II.
BURLINGTON, M. c., r. B. Hall, M. c., the
Hon. Herrick of the Governors Council, the
Hon. L. B. Comings, M. c., and others.
This evening the Chapman Hall Commit
tee decided upon call for Mass Conven-
ton, and recommended Delegate Conven-
ton, If agreeable to the call of the other Com
mittees, and with the Committees in con-
ference, fixed upon the Goth September, at
Worcester, as the time for the holding of
both. The Chapman Hall call is accompa-
MED by an address to the people recommend
ing the formation of a "new party" ignoring
nothing in the past, but simply asserting the
doctrine of opposition to the further aggres-
sion of the Slave Power
The document was drawn up by Richard
Fl. Dana, Jr. The call will be issued and
other arrangements for the Convention made
on Wednesday next, Aug. %.

Important from Fort Riley.

From the Kansas Correspondence of the
Missouri Republican we take the following:
An express has just come in from Fort Ri
ley, bringing the startling intelligence that
the hands who were Employed at work there
had rcbelled against the command, and bro
ken into the arsenal and storehouscs and sup
piled themselves with arms, ammunition,
provisions and money, and had started off for
the States, in force of three or four hundred
men. The officers of the Fort dispatched
the few soldiers, who were spared from the
ravages of the cholera, in pursuit of them :;
but they, poor fellows, soon returned with
three of their comrades dead and fourth
mortally wounded, and stated when they
came upon the insurgents they were fired on,
pursued and threatened with instant death,
and that it was solely providential that any
of them escaped; that the insurgents were
| thoroughly armed with muskets and pistols,
and declared it to be their intention to die
rather than be taken; and that they were
coming towards this point, probably to en-
bark on steamboats, for-St. Louis. The FIX
press telegraphed the commanding officer of
Jefferson Barracks to be on the look out for
them.
1t is said that during the prevalence of the
cholera at Fort Riley, the physician desert
ed the post, [only temporarily, as is explain
ed, and that these workmen desired to leave,
too, as many were dying and demanded their
pay. The commanding officer refused to pay
them, as they had contracted to work for a
certain number of months, at so much a
month, and had only worked half the time.
They were willing to take less than the
amount due them if he would only settle
with them then. lie still refused; whreup-
on they became desperate and rcvcngeful,
and took by force more than they wanted.
Kansas Territory is now very Quiet.

Another Outrage In Kansas.

We cut the following paragraph from The
Squatter Sovereign, Stringfcllow's paper, of
the 7th inst:
The most interesting ceremony ever wit
messed in this town was the whipping of
"a live abolitonist,' with the euphonious
name of j. w. j. Kelly, who halls all the
way from Cincinnati, Ohio, by Mr.. Grafton
Thomson, late of Clay County, Missouri
Mr. Thomson short time ago lost valua-
bic negro woman, who it was thought had
been induced to drown herself by the THEY
ing scoundrel who is the subject of this arti-
Gle. Kelly, who was heard to express him
self in the matter, severely reproached Mr.
Thomson for being STAKEHOLDER. Mr..
Thomson, on hearing the matter called on
the said Kelly, who gave him to understand
that he did not speak to men who owned ne
groes. Mr.. Thomson did not wait for a
further expression from him, but seized the
independent individual and nearly wore him
out against the ground. A friend attempt
ing to interfere, was by one blow from the
powerful fist of Mr.. Thomson landed back
ward on the other side of Jordon.'
A meeting of the citizens was called on
the following morning, and committee ap-
pointed to command Kelly to leave the place
at one hours notice. The absence in the
town of the article tar prevented the citi
zens from donning him coat of tar and fea
theirs. lie left our town between two DAYS:
and should he ever come back he will be
forced to go through with tight-rope per-
forance."

THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 50, 1855.


50
Gdtman meetings are all the rage now-as|
days. No sooner has one meeting adjourned,
and its. proceedings Published to-tLe world,
than another is called and its deliberations
attended by q large concourse. Thus, during
the last ten days there have been three
meetings at the Court House,-one on Tues
day night week, whichFexpres it's opinion
for 0lmsted for Delegate, and then adjourned
to meet again last Tuesday to complete their
business, such as making q platform, adopt
ing an address, appointing committees, &c. !;
then there was the Rice gathering on Satur-
day evening, which adopted the whole plat
form of the Rice Territorial Convention.
The adjourned meeting on Tuesday even
ing was attended by a crowded audience.
The seats were full and the aisles and doors
were crowded so that we could not obtain
admission except by going into the gallery,
which we also found full. For so large a
meeting, it was the most orderly, and at the
same time enthusiastic, that VIC, ever saw.
AT the time We went in they were busy dis
cussing the fifth resolution, which relates to
the extension of Slavery. Speeches were
made by our adopted fellow-citizens Howitz,
Schwarzenberg, Georgii, REM, Freidenrich,
and many others, and the resolution was
passed unanimously.
We7could neither understand the resolu-
tons or speeches, but from what we could
learn by conversation with those around US,
we are satisfied that Oh the subject of slave
~ extension, as illustrated by the diabolical
outrages of Atchison, Pierce & Co. on the
freedom and freemen of Kansas, the hearts of
the Germans in this city and Territory beat
in unison with the great German heart of
the Union.
There were no less than $50 or 800 persons
present, all of whom took the most lively in
terest in the proceedings, which was illustrat-
ed by the great sea of hands that were raised
every time that vote was taken. The Ger
mans are now thoroughly organized i'll this
city, and as they have adopted measures
looking towards thorough organization
throughout the Territory, the effect will be
felt pretty decisivcly at the polls. Already
do the Rice partizans begin to tremble, for
they read in this movement that which eve
ry one else saw before, certain and sudden
downfall to all their hopes of further politi-
cal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
