Seven hundred men were under arms at
Lawrence. Three hundred and eighteen
Missourians were at Wakaransa Creek, seven
miles off, encamped and armed with rifles
and cannon. Mr.. Parsons met a company
of Missourans just over the Border on the

stores.
December 9th he encountered squad Of
men with three horses They had obtained
the artillery by breaking open the Clay coun-

They were violent class of drinking men,

BY notice in the Standard last week, it ap-
pears that our Commissioners have undertaken to
repeal the Liquer Law, and require persons when
they center complaint to give security for cost and
they say that the Auditor will OF issue orders,
etc. Now am willing that ''we the Commission

am not willing that they shall give currency to
falsehoodS concerning the costs in liquor caseS.-
Here are a few facts from the records, which
DARE the Commissioners to contradict

the same length Of time last year, that have this.
He had on the docket fourteen cases, in TEN of
which the State paid the cost. Two were gain.

The deceased, was born in Washing
ton township in this County, where he re-
sided until the year 1848, at which time
he removed to Jackson, where he resided
until his demise. He was for number
years afflicted, at stated times, with bleed
ing at the lungs, which finally, settled
into consumption, and for the last twelve
months was subjected to the ravages of that
slow but fatal malady, consumption, and
finally terminated his career in this world.
Mr.. S. had been, during his mature life
consistent member of the M. E. Church,
and up to his death held to the belief that
he had a "right up yonder," and that
God gave his only son, that all, through
him mightbe saved" Mr. S. leaves a wife,
who is now and has been for a length of

The Republicans of jackson County
will hold Mass Meeting in this place, on
Wednesday, September 18th, on which
occasion, Messrs. Chase, Campbell, Moore,
and Horton, will be present and address
the Meeting. We urge every man that
holds sacred, the great truths of free Re
publicanism, to come out and attend the
meeting, and hear for themselves, from
SalmouP Chase, and others, their polll-
ical principles. Although there ap-
pears to be a somewha! weak and fool
ish attempt to defeat Mr.. Chase, for gov
ernor, by handful of old liners, tits our
opinion, that lie will be elcctedby an over
whelming majority. 1t is a noted fact
that at the present day, there are more
isms and factions, led on only by those few
individuals, who were unfortunately de-
feated in the convention of the 18th Of
July, and who are attempting to justify
their actions by this high handed traitor
ism to everything that is Republican.
1t is certainly to be regretted, that in
this day and hour, that such men are to
be found, that will battle against any
measure, no matter how honest; but when
we look over the political history of Ohio,
we are not at all surprised to find, now,
a corporals guard of those old croakers,
who, like the fox in Esop's fables, that
had his "tail cut off in steel trap, tried
to pursuade others to have their tails
clipped, but these individuals will find, on
the I'd Tuesday Of October, that the peo-
pie, Of Ohio are not to be caught by any
such ruscs, or are they to be bamboozled
by any Of those old " silk stockings" gen,

nor, agitated, and has succeeded in picking
up few hangers on to the great Republi-
can Party, is using the most unfair means
to defeat those, that in days gone by, heap
ed upon them, honors, far to lofty to be
conferred upon such men.
People of Jackson County, it is hoped
that you will come out on the 18th Of Sep.
tember and hear for yourselves, the true
position of the Republican party.
1t is to be hoped that there will be such
arrangements made 50 as to have Mr..
Ford, the candidate for It, Governor
here. Mr. Ford, is the champion of the
great Philadelphia Convention, where he
stood up in the face of all the south, and
compelled delegates from southern States
in open convention to confess their sins, anC
coincide with him and the Republicans o
the Buckeye State.

A SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY The
Charleston Mercury grows jubiIant over
the idea of u Southern Confederacy
which according TO its belief is to cure all
the difficulties of the South. We quote :
"Glorious and grand rises up the idea
of a Southern CoDfederacy, free from the
intermeddIing Of Abolition fanatcs--free
from the exaclions of hostile and foreign
government, whose ill-gotten gold ispour-
ed out to enrich our enemies, and make
traitors in the South ; free from connec.
ton with people, whose society and
civilization are antagonasIic to our own
and free from the eternal disSenSionS and
chickering's which have disgraced the his
tory of the Union. u y u
A Southern COnfederacy, with free
trade as the corner stone of her foreign
policy, would be the best-customer, both
as buyer and seller, that England could
possibly have 1t would open market
of vast extent to her manufactures, and
supply. in return, cotton more speedily,
cheaper and better than any she can ever
obtain from the fields of India. Cotton
would be our army and navy--cotton
would command for us the respect of ma
tons, Aggressions upon us, would be
upon all who shared in the
wide blessings of its culture trade and
use. And Abolilionism in England would
expire amid the proofs of the advantages
of slavery, while Abolitionism at the
North would turn into and exhaust itself
in some other form of social madness"
