Posi- OFFICE BLANKs.-The Buffalo Courier
and Buffalo Republic publish the subjoned
notification to POstmasters in the Western
States:
It does not seem to be generally understood
by Postmasters in the State of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin and Iowa, and in
the Territory of Minnesota, that the agency at
Buffalo for the distribution of Post Office
Blanks, &C., to the different offices in those
States, was discontinued on the 3Oth day of
last June. The blanks, papers, &C.. heretofore
deposited with the agency in this city, have
been transferred to Cincinnati, Ohio.
POstmasters therefore, in all the above
named States, should hereafter apply for blanks,
papers, &C., to the Postmaster of Cincinnati,
Ohio, and not to the Postmaster of Buffalo.
Editors in these States will confer favor on
the Postmasters by inserting the above in their
pipers.
PCL1TrCs IN New YoRK.-We mentioned on
Friday that the Whig and Republican State
Committees in New York had each issued a
call for State Convention. to nominate State
Officers, to be held a. Syracuse on the 26th
day of September next. The object of calling
these conventions at the same time and place,
is to promote the fusion of all the ornonents

sion. into one great and Irresistible party of
Freedom. This fusion already exists through
out the North Western States, and has led to
| the political redemption OF each in turn. 1t
exists too, in all the New England States,
which. like the five North Western States, have
thrown off the shacklcs of sham democracy,
and stand forth conquering and to conquer, in
the radiant armor and under the free flag of
REPUBILcANIsM New York is now about to
join her sister States of the East and North
West in the great movement to confine slavery
within its Constitutional limits. and to pro-
tect the free Territories of the Republic from
farther outrage and invasion at the hands Of
the Slave Power. This action of the Empire
State will give increased spirit and power to
the Republican movement; and if followed
as we do not doubt it will be-by like organi-
cations in Pennsylvania New Jersey and Cali
fOrnia. the Presidential contest will find the
Free States of the Union embatt ed in one
strong pbalanx. under the banner of RESIST
ANcE TO SLAVERY AGGRESSION. In this sign

| A GIRL SHOT BY HER BRorHER.-We have
just learned the particulars of a most unfortu-
nate affair that occurred near Blandinsvile
some weeks since, in which a lad about eight
years old shot his sister with rife, causing
death in a few hours. 1t seems that Mr.. Bur-
dit who was working in his field. sent his son
to the house for his gun. The boy brought the
gun to his father. and very soon returned to
the house with it. in company with little
sister. Before starting back with the gun. Mr..
Burdit removed the cap, so that no accident
might occur. On his way to the house, the
boy told his sister that he would put cap on
and frighten his mother by swapping at her.
When he arrived at the house he concluded
that it might brighten his mother too badly
and he turned to one of his sisters, girl of
about sixteen. who was near by. and playfuly
remarked that he would shoot her. The gun
was loaded. and the little fellow, instead of
merely frightening her. lodged the contents in
her left side. causing almost instant DEATH

SLAVERY IN NEBRASKA TERRrroRY.-We fad
in the Nebraska City News the following an
nouncement, from which it would seem that
slavery is fast spreading in that quarter:
| Negroes for Sale at this Pl0ce--We call
attention to the advertisement of negroes for
SALE which appears in another column. A
company of gentlemen from Missouri. who
have large interests here. have imported them
for the benefit Of our young and growing city,
Nebraska City is now about twice or three
times as large as any other town in the Terri
tory. Help is much needed and but little to
be had for this reason slave labor is required.
We are authorized to state that the same Com
pany have twenty more in Missouri which will
be brought to Nebraska City If sufficient in
ducements are held out.
