FREE SPEEcH-AN AccIDEsT-A friend
relates the particulars ofan affair that happen
ed, few days ago, in St. Louis; and the story
is worth repeating:
An itinerant street preacher was holding
forth one day in the genus. was inveighing in
strong language against foreigners police
officer in the vicinity, suffered the speaker to
90 ahead until a crowd had collected around
him, and some symptoms of a disturbance
were manifested. when he interposed with.
Look here, old fellow that can't be per-
nitted here. You must come down from
there.''
The officer laid hands on the speaker, and
was about to disnount him from the box on
which he stood-a demonstration that pro-
duced sensation in the auditors. and they
cried out as they left-some Shame! Shame. !.
Free Speech and others-"Down with him!
Shut him up, Shut him upP'
At this moment representative OF the Vir-
ginia chivalry in passing, saw the muss. and
rushed up inquirlng:
.Is that some d-ned Abolinonist2-
with himl Tar and feather the scoundrelg'
"Oh no." said friend, ''its only friend
preaching against the Catholics and foreign
ers.'
'Is that aIl2" said our Virginian. ''then let
him go ahead I'm for free speeehr'
The application can be made BY those who
see the point. g

The plain and frugal John Quincy Adams
was assailed by his fierce opponents and de-
iamers on the score of extravagance. because
his prodigal Administration required twelve
millions year; and committees of inquiry
and retrenchment. and almost of impeach-

One by One.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One By one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive TO grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee.
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One By one bright gifts from Heaven)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
DO not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee
shadows passing throus 81 the land.
Do not lock Mt life's long sorrow;
Sec how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for Tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regrctting,
Or for passing hours despond,
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reach Heaven; but one by one.
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done

Council of Know Something's, which was

National Platform Of the Know aomeshiugs.
Adopted at Cleveland. June s4, 1855.
As servility 10 the Slave Power characteri-
ses the national organization Of he existing
political parties, and as this serv,iity is peril
Gus both to the manhood OF the North and the
liberty of the Republic
We declare:
First-That the issue before t, American
people is, whether Freedom shat be limited
to the Free States, or whether slavery shall
be limited to the Slave States.
.Second-That this issue has been forced on
the country by the Slave Power, through re-
peated aggreszions, and by acts which have
violated national faith, solemn compacts and
sacred covenants
7hird-That these aggressioE>, especially
the Nebraska outrage, with tie brutal assault
upon the elective franchise in Eansas, have
aroused freemen OF the Republic to just
sense of their duty and their danger; and
though they will invade no I5ght of any
State, they will maintain every rtght Of Free
dom, and resist the admission of another
Sla0e State. or the addition Of another foot Of
Stare soil.
I0Uyh--That we shall meet this issue, thus
forced upon US in the spirit our fathers met

believed, that rightlully man can hold no
property in man, We will maintain the Nation
ality OF Freedom.
FUh-Tha. freedom being one in aim and

in this Republic should make principles and

sion to citizenship, and its constitutional

sPIRIr OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union criticises the recent letter of Sen
ator Sumner to Passmore Williams, berating
Judge Kane for duly Furnishing Williams for
contempt of court and perjury. Sumner re-
CARDS the judges punishment of Williams
under all the facts Of the case, as evidence oi
the distinguished jurist's insanity The edi-
tor, in turn, r0gards the recent pro-negro and
sweeping anti-r sturalization legislation OF
Massachusetts, as embracing much the more
palpalle evidence Of insanity, Of the two.
The Union also exhOrts the New York Tunes
to take eommon-sense view of the interpella-
ton Of NJ. Kossuth directed to the President,
and to comprehend the difference between the
prOpriety and duty of answering such an epis-
tie when coming from a legitimate functionary,
and private man not citizen of the United
States. We also learn from the Union that
the exact majority for Gen. Lane in the recent
election for a territorial delegate from Oregon,
Is 2,l49, against $40 in 1853. In 1S49, the
total vote in Oregon was 983; in 1851, it was
2,sls, and on this occasion, lin 1867 it was
1O,I5l.
The Inteiltgencsr endorses the recent letter
of Ex-Governor Hunt, of New York, wherein
that gentleman exhorts the Wings of the EN-
pire State to resist the fusion (abolition) move
ment. The editor declares that in that con-
nection he stands with Mr. Hunt.
We find In the hteUigencer an Havana let

July. The steamer Wye, Powell command
er, much out of time, having touched at Be-
lie, Mississippi river, for coal, arrived yester-
day morning from Vera Cruz, without bring

he would embark on board the British brig-of-

and a condrcta of $4,000, 900 of specie were
said to be twelve miles from Vera Cruz 1t
is stated that some of the news by this vessel

entertained here that the retiring President

Kansas.-Surveying returns have been re-
Gently received at the General Land Office
from Kansas of the first standard parallel,
thirty miles south of the base line, commencing
from point on the guide meridian between
ranges eight and nine east, thence east to the
Missouri River, q distance of some seventy
two miles. This standard parallel was sur
veyed by Surveyor Lodlie in July last. One
half Of the line runs through the Kickapoos'
tract, which was ceded to the United States
by the treaty Of 18th May last. The district
of country lying between. the base line and
the first standard parallel south, in Kansas,
comprises the lands ceded to the United States
by the Iowas, Sac and Foxes of Missouri, and
major part Of the Kickapoos, and according
to previous advices received from the Surveyor
General of Kansas and Nebraska, the same
will be subdivided into sections during the
present fall. .-a
About Some Of the Injured.-We have =
private dispatch, in relation to the railroad
accident, yesterday, near Burlington, N. j.,

was killed, and the Captain and one of his
daughters were badly wounded; another
daughter was wounded less severely. Com
modore Joseph Smith, U. S. N, though con-
siderably hurt, is not dangerously wounded; ;
his wife was but slightly hurt. The injury to
DR.. Wheelan, U. s. N, was very slight. Kit

The report of deaths for Tuesday shows a
considerable decrease In the number, and We
do hope We have seen the worst OF this terri

but the disease must be Of a milder form, or
perhaps it is better understood by the physi-
Ncians. The, weather is cool, wind northeast,
with considerable rain. What effect this may
have upon the fever, remains to be seen.
PORTSMOUTH failed to get the regular

did not exceed for the last "a hours ending

ever, for So hours ending at the samestime was
very alarming, being between 80 and 40.
