Hon. John S. w ellis.

Mr. Wells, the democratic nominee for gov
ernor Of New Hampshire, was appointed a
senator in congress by Governor Baker, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the decease of the
lamented Norris, and during his brief senate
rial service he rose to the first rank OF demo-
cratic statesmen. His speeches were chaIac-
terized by the highest ability, and bis votes
were ieaIlessiy given at all times on the right
side In his personal intercourse with the
members OF both houses he made friends in all
quarters by his noble qualities of head and
heart, and his frank and cordial bearing
That such a man should be elevated TO lead
the reinvigorated forces of the New Hamp-
shire democracy, at their contest with fusion
in March next, is probably the highest honor
that could be conferred upon him in such times
as these, when men become heroes in their
struggles with fanaticism, and when good
principles prevail over the worst foes Of the
republic, only after the most energetic and
herculean exertions, as-.a
We understand that it is the intention of
Mr.. Wells 10 traverse the state of New Hamp-
shire, and 10 address the people on the great
questions of the day. This has never been a
custom in that state and we are glad TO see
that it is to be inaugurated under the auspices
of such a democrat. He will make bold,
straight and unmistakeable fight, and evade 10
issue; and will deal unsparing blows upon his
adversaries. And he will compel reaction,
such as will be worthy of the state of Wood
bury and Pierce. Our hearts and our hopes
go with this gallant leader, and we shall watch
his efforts with all The interest and solicitude
which attach 10 any contest in which the brave
and the good are engaged against the corrupt
and The bad.-Pennsy'rd 'rdnlan.

The Reuublicau PARTY wrecked.

The Albany Argus says the election in New
York has settled one thing. The attempt to
inaugurate sectional party on the single idea
of a crusade against slavery has proved fail
ure 1t has not obtained any hold upon the
popular mind 1t has aroused no enthusiasm,
and has not rallied to its standard the mass of
people. Ii has broken down in its first cam
paign. The Seward whig leaders hoped to
add to their numbers and recruit their strength
by transforming the whig party into north
ern abolition party, but in looking after new
friends they have lost their old ones, and their
party has actually been enfeebled by the at
tempted transition. Their organization is
broken, and they poll less votes than they did
year ago.
The wreck of the hopes of the inventors of
the republican movement teaches valuable
lesson to politicians, and, indeed, to all our
citizens 1t shows that there is among the
people deep and abiding love of the Union
a spirit of nationaliiy-ani that any party
which bases its hopes of success on merely
sectional appeals, and which does not embrace
the whole country within the circle of its af
fections, cannot command the popular approba-
tion and must ever prove poweress and evanes-
cent. A political party which does not occu-
py platform upon which political men of ev-
cry section of the Union can stand and labor
together for common ends, is mere faction.
1t possibly may serve the purposes of dema-
gogues for single election, but it can have no
prolonged existence, nor any but local repu-
ton. The creed of party must embrace
principles which are not bounded by parallels
of latitude, or by State lines. If it does not,
it necessarily foments sectional strife and is
hostile to the peace, prosperity and happiness
of the whole country.

Kansas will be a Free State.

This fact-says the Hartford Times,-is
now so evident that the agitators themselves
are forced to admit it. Their occupation is
gone, when Kansas is admitted as free state.
That it will be so admitted is no longer doubt
full, even TO those selEstyled friends of free
dom who had hoped, for political reasons, that
that territory might become slave state
Every letter that we get from that quarter
every candid man who has been there, tells the
same story. Kansas rH be a free state. We

gentleman from the south, who is now stop

its writings in three stout editorials on the
United States the first, the 10Th, consisting

business and about American flibustering
and third, l7th, opening very graclousiy and
closing in the every sanguine feeling" that
s'the party so eager with war in England
will be worsted. The London Times had bet
ter stop lis scrawis about this country. The
more it writes the worse appearance it makes.
The news from the land of real war is in
teresting. The Turk continues 10 show great
vitality for sick and dying man. Omar Pa
cha, the splendid, has won new laurels, while
the Russians continue earnestly to fight well
and exhibit how men, if they cannot conquer,
can die for their country. In the Crimea,
things are quiet Ridges OF rocks and low
ravines and mountain gorges divide the COM

reconnoitre parties from these high ridges;
but the Russians can look out from these nat

The following is the note Mr.. Buchanan

of his government, which he fully approves,
it was with deep regret he learned, as he first
did, from Washington, that attempts were
made in the United States TO recruit soldiers
for the British army, because he felt confident
that these attempts would tend TO weaken the
friendly relation between the two countries,

The American minister can, of course, enter
into no discussion in the public journals of

Indian Hostilities in Oregon.

By our late files of the Portland (Oregon)
Times, we learn that the Indians have broken
out in open hostility to the whites in Southern
Oregon, and depredalions and massacres have
been committed by them, which are shocking
TO relate. Twenty or thirty families have
been murdered, and dwellings burned, and an
attack upon the Umpqua settlements was
feared The houses burned and families mur-
dered, thus far, resided between Grave Creek
and Rogue river. A Miss Pellet, the temper
ance lecturess, was at Waggoner' and mur
dered All communication with Jacksonville
was cut off. 1t is conjectured, however, that
the town is fortified. The mail carrier was
shot at and driven back. The families be-
tween Grave creek, and the Canyon had been
taken to Umpqua for safety
Maj. Raines, of the U. S. army, was in the
field against the Indians. with over 800 regu-
lars. And the eight companies of volunteers
called for by Gov. Curry were mastering with
aIacrity. Gov Curry himself had left Port
land for the Dales. He appears to have act
ed promptly and energe;ically. The ladies of
Portland had presented two elegant banners,
of their own making, to the volunteer compa-
panies from Linn and Benton counties. Fort
Walla Walla was well fortified and prepared
for long siege. At Hillsboro, on Tualatin
plains, the citizens were enclosing the court
and Mr.. Fletts house with pickets, in order
to provide garrison for their families in case
of an attack, as the settlers of New England
used to do in the old Indian wars. The citi-
zens and miners of Jackson county, declining
assistance, had taken the field and killed up
wards of hundred savages. Major Lupton,
member of the legislature from jackson coun-
| ty, had been killed.

PRESIDENT Pierce and the Indians.

The following interesting paragraph we
find in the Washington correspondence of the
ST. Louis Republican -
81 learn that the President has determined
on new Indian policy for the government.
Heretofore the policy has been removal. so
soon as any questions should arise between
the white man and his red brother, involving
any serious difficulty, instead of meeting bold
" the questions and settling them, the pre-
vious policy of the government has been to re-
move the Indians further into The wilderness
and stave off the responsibility of the issues.
The Very necessity of the case now forces the
government to change its policy-for there is
no longer any west to which to remove the
poor Indian. The white population of Cali
fornia Oregon and Washington, will soon de-
mand that this encumbrance be started on the
opposite track, anc that the red mans path
shall be eastward. President Pierce has de-
termined TO adopt the opposite Of the old poll
cy, and continue the Indians on their reserva-
tions-curtailing their boundaries instead of
enlarging them. This will force them to turn
their attention to agricultural and mechanical
pursuits, and tend to their rapid civilization.
They will be surrounded on all sides by the
music of the ploughman's merry whistle and
the busy clink of the mechanics hammer aud
these influences must affect in greater or less
degree their wild and savage nature. On
Lake Superior, several tribes who had been
thus surrounded have become excellent ciii-
