REJOICING AT THE DEFEAT OF REPURLI-
GANISM.
From the Paris tKy.) Citizen.


The elections in Massachusetts, and New
York exhibit one most gratifying result, and
that is, decided check to the "Fusionn or
Black Republican movement. They show that
this sectional faction, whose triumph in the
North would have been full OF danger to the
peace of the country, instead Of sweeping every
thing before it, embraces hut a small minority
of the people. We hope It's race ia run. We
believe that the causes which have induced so
many men to ally themselves with it, will, in
another year, have lost their power.
In Massachusetts,, Gardner. the American
candidate, is elected Governor, by plurality of
$4,000, over the foremost Of his three oppo-
nents.
Gardner is an Anti-Slavery man, and was Of
those who bolted from the Philadelphia Con-
vention upon the Slavery question. But be has
refused to follow the notorious Wilson. He is
a conservative man, and his election is tri-
umph of conservatism. lie is the man who re-
fused to remove Judge Loring for remanding a
fugitive slave, as required to DO by fanatical
Legislature and by popular clamor and he
vetoed the bill, passed by the same Legislature,
to nulhfy the Fugitive Slave Law. Notwith-
standing bis opposition tSslavery, he stands by
the Constitution and laws.

The following document is in print in the

THE BORDER TROUBLES IN MISSOURI.

The WeStOn Reporter gives an account of a
meeting OF the citizens of that place on the
evening of the 18th inst, and states that previ-
Gus to the assemblage fifty armed men from
Platte City Lad collected III the courthouse. and
seemed inclined to ovcrawe and control the
meeting. No disturbance, however took place.
The citizens of Parkville and It's vicinity claim
that it is their privilege, and rot the privilege
OF persons residing at Platte City or in any
other section, to determine who is and who is
not fit person to reside ~ the former place.
These proceedings refer to Mr.. George S. Park,
who was expelled from Parkville some time
ago, but lately invited to return thither by its
inhabitants, against the wishes of some Of the
people of Platte Civ. The meeting adopted
preamble and resolutions affirming that " the
honor, glory, and best interests Of the Pro-Sia-
very cause, as well in Missouri as in Kansas,
depend upon the maintenance, observance, and
enforcement of the law" recognising 1" large
Majority OF the citizens of Parkville and vicni.
ty as men sound and true upon the Slavery
question !" and advising their friends of other
sections of the country to quiet all excitement,
and pay respect TO the laws. A publication
was afterwards made by four gentlemen, stating
that the impression prevailed that the people of
Platte City would attempt to destroy valuable
lives and property in ParkvIlle. 1t was no
doubt this condition of things On the borders
which gave rise to the recent momentary excite
ment in the Legislature Of Missouri. We pre-
sumo the difficulty has been peacefully settled.
1t is certainly strange state of affairs that one
community should undogtake to regulate the
affairs of another.

MORE OF THE NONSENSE - Some seven or
eight years ago, there was terrible excitement
among the "friends of Ireland" and a con-
siderable amount of money was raised in this
country, to emsncipate ireland from British
rule. Whatever became of the money nobody
knows, or, if he does, is not willing to tell AT
any rate, Ireland was not emancipated. We see
from advertisements in the papers that there is
now simultaneous movement throughout the
principal cities, under the authority of a Chief
Directory, looking to the raising of an addi-
tional sum, and for the same object. Apart
from the propriety or legality of any such
organizations as these in this country, the
purpose contemplated, if any one seriously
does, is chimerical and nonsensicsl. Ireland
is inseparably allied to England, and Irishmen
