The TRUE IssUE.-The Repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise was a violation of pledged
faith on the part of the South, and a wanton
breaking Of a fairly arbitrated covenant, de
handing redress from all honest and sound
minded citizens Of the Republic.
The grievous wrong inflicted by the Kansas
Nebraska bill, deliberately committed and viii
fully persisted in, has been heightened and
aggravated by the inroads of Missouri ~rufians
upon the freemen of Kansas, thus depriving
them of all voice in the government of tie
territory.
We therefore insist upon the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise, and that under no
circumstances shall any State, from territory
dedicated to Freedom under that Compromise,
be admitted into the Federal Union, with
slavery legalized within its limits.

BREEDER SUSTAINED AT HOME"

Such is the announcement made, in publish
ing the proceedings of a Democratic Meeting
recently held at Easton. We have carefully
read the resolutions and proceedings of that
meeting, and must say, save us from such
friends (! Gov. REEDER has in Northampton
county, a host of ardent admirers and friends.
The masses of that County were deeply indig-
nant at the gross injustice done to a man in
whom they had the utmost confidence, and
whom they respected and esteemed. Theysa
him struck down by a proAigate administration
to satisfy ATCHIsoN and SrRINGFELLow, because
he would not become a tool in the hands of the
ruffians who were attempting to force slavery
into Kansas at the point of the bowle-knlfe.-
1t was expected that the indignant feelings OF
his friends would find expression at this meet
ing. But their voice was stiaed, as was an
expression in the Democratic State Conven-
ton.
Senator BRoDHEAD appears to have had the
management of the meeting. AT his ~solicita-
ton, a resolution condemning the President
was abandoned, and the meeting was satisfied
with endorsing the Repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and expressing appreciation of the
gubernatorial conduct of Gov. REEDER! And
Senator BRoDHEAD made a speech an hour and
a half long, in which there was no allusion to
the removal of REEDER This speech of BRoD-
HEADS is one of the most remarkable produc-
lions we have seen in the race of political de-
bauchery which our public men are now run.
ming. lie is evidently frightened at the ar
engagements making among the faithful to bring
BUCHANAN forward for the Presidency, and
having designs himself upon the Vice Presi
dency, endeavors to head him off, by trucking
to slavery. We extract a paragraph from hi:
speech at Easton, and place it side by side with
an extract from a speech delivered by him il
the House of Representatives, February, 9
1S47, upon the celebrated Wilmot Proviso =

Republican Movement.

Pursuant to public notice, the people of Her.
rick and adjoining townships held a PEOPLES
Meeting in the Meeting House at HerrickyilIo
on Saturday evening, the 25th ult. ABEL
BOLLES was chosen President, and A. R
Brown Secretary. After several short ad.
dresses, and a friendly interchange of opinion
the following was unanimously agreed upon .
l. That obedience to the Fugitive Slave Bill
concurrence with the Finality Platforms, and
acquiescence in the principles of the Nebraska
Bill, are conditions of membership in the D.,
mocratic and Wing parties.
,. That, therefore, all who cooperate with
these parties are partakers of their sins.
3. That a union of the true Wings and t,g,
Democrats in a new party based upon the pria,
ciples of Freedom and Equal Rights shOuidbe
contaminated as soon as practicable.
4. That delegates chosen to county conreD-
tons by meetings held under a call of stand,
ing committees of existing parties, cannot right.
fully organize a new party.
5. That the old parties should be abandon,
ed, and that a general mass meeting of the
friends of Freedom should be held at the Court
House, in Towanda, on the 18th of September
for the purpose of organizing a Republican
Party, making nominations, and responding to
the doings of the Republican State Mass Meet,
ing to be held at Pittsburg on the 9TH of Sep
TENDER.
Resolved, That the proceedings of thismee.
ing be signed by the officers and published il

has~ We have, during the past six months,
been indebted to the Great West for the ne
c~essaries of life. Consequently, almost every
eatable article has borne a price graduated to
city cost and transportation. Now there is a
better prospect, and prices are regulated by
the amount raised and by the demand. BY the
price current in another column, it will be seen
that famine prices" rule no longer.
We observe, however, that the quotations
of the city markets, have not materially chang
ed. Whether this is owing to SPECTATORS, or
to the new crop not being yet fully in market,
we are unable to Judge. That abundant har-
vests have been secured, there is no qnestion
but it must be recollected that the East par
t~icularly is thoroughly drained of grain, and
that a large amount was needed for immediate
consumption. Prices, we have no doubt, will
slowly recede at the same time we have no
expectation of seeing Wheat at six or eight
shillings per bushel-and other grain at the
same rate.

THE FOREIGN News by the last arrival is
uninteresting. The Pacific arrived on the 22d
ult. bringing twelve days later intelligence
There is no news of moment from SebastopOl.
The siege-works in front of the Malakoff tower
are advanced so near the Russian lines that
the cannon almost touch. 1t must cost an
enormou sacrifice of life to the two parties to
maintain themselves in such c~ontiguity, and we
can scarcely fail soon to hear of a bloody action,
ending either in the capture of the Malakoff
and Redan or a more decided repulse of the
Allies than even that of June Is. 1t is said
that Gen. Pelissier was waiting only for August
Is, the anniversary of Napoleon, to undertake
the final onslaught upon the place.
The Russians on their part have strengthen
ed immensely the defences in the rear of the
menaced forts, at the same time that they have
received a portion at least of the powerful
reinforcements we long since announced as on
the way to the Crimea. 1t is supposed they
must soon undertake offensive operations on
the line of Chernay and Balaklava. Indeed
the Turkish and Sandman troops quartered in
that direction have already been once or twice
alarmed by what was supposed to be the APP
proach of the foe, but the alert turned out to
be groundless.
From the Baltic we hear the note of prepa-
ration. There is even a report that Revel has
beeen bombarded by the allied fleets /; but this
is by no means certain. At any rate, unless
Admiral Dundas is able to employ some means
not known in any Of the engagement that yet
taken place between ships and forts, there is
no probability that he will succeed.
Great preparations were making at Paris to
receive Queen Victoria. The Empress is again
declared to have hopes of an heir. A conspiracy
has been discovered involving some prominent
Legitimists, who are said to have attempted to
negotiate with Prince G%orchakoff, the Russian
Minister to Vienna.

This, it will be perceived, is the broadest
Southern ground, a little mystified by using
phrases in regard to property. 1t is the doc
trine that the Constitution carries slavery into
any Territory we may possess or acquire, and
that there is no power, emanating from that
instrument, or inherent in the people, to dis
possess the Shareholder of that property. 1t
is in direct contradiction with the dogma of
Popular Sovereignty" and is the dive deeper
which all Northern dough-faces must take to
secure the support of the South. The advo-
Gates of popular sovereignty" will find them
selves sadly in the rear in this scrabble for the
favors of the shareholders. They must SUBJ
scribe to the doctrine which Senator BRoD-
HEAD now endorses, or they will be denounced
as Free-soilers and Abolitionists by the slave
ocracy.
We hope RICHARD will have a good time pre-
siding over the Senate. In the Kilkenny cat
fight betwcen him and OLD Buck, we shall GER
tainly try to have fair play.

The steamship Atlantic arrived at New York

firms the intelligence of the death Of the GEAR
The Grand Duke A~LExANpER, the eldest son, has
assumed the Imperial dignity without opposition,
and has proclaimed his adhesion to the policy Of
his father; he is represented by writers to be adj
dicted to the bottle, but not second even to his fa-
Their in great intellectual powers, and a fearless,
indomitable spirit.
This arrival also brings the intelligence that
there had been more fighting at Sebastopol, and
a I Russian redoubt was carried by the Allies, with
great slaughter.
Aslight difference has arisen between France
and England, growing out of the Roebuck Jnves-
tigation Committee, but at the last accounts it had
been settled.
There was a rumor current that the Grand
Duke Michael, third son Of the Emperor Nicho-
las, was wounded in the last battle, and after
wards died at Sebastopol.
Commercial advices are generally favorable.
