At least dozen Of the most notorious
characters in San Francisco driven out
by the Vigilance Committee, arrived here
yesterday in the Orizaba. The Commit
tee took the precaution to daguerreotype
the faces Of all these men, and to send on
copies to the diferel.t Atlantic cities. The
Alta California says, that ..by the trans.
portation of twenty-scven men, San
Francisco is at once robbed of probably
3 600 votes, for they were all good for
hundred each Were we to have an
election tomorrow, there is no question
that our vote would fall off from three to
four thousand from what were polled last
fall. New York Mirror.

To carry cut boldly each generous plan,
For saving from ruin our beautiful land
Tie hero beloved of the patriot band,
o who in the wide world is worthier to be
The president of our loved country than he
The choice Of the people, the friend of the

The patriot hero, the true and The brave

Should say that we never with you could
agree;
We will not elect you to make matters worse
Ho, lovers of freedom come let us unite
And rally and fight with true hearts for the
right
For Fremont so nobly has pledged himself to
Preserve both the Union and liberty too
The ladies cant vote but they'll do all they can
TO get in the '.Whitc House this truly
great man
Their powerful influence on his side will be
For he is their FAv' RITE tho bold and the

Hurrah then for Fremont the man for the

Kansas Convention.

Buffalo, July lO--At the Kansas Con-
vention to-day, the emigrants were rec
commended to take route through Iowa,
and urging Congress to establish daily
mail routes from Topeka to Iowa City
and Burlington.
Gerritt Smith introduced resolutions
to send armed men to Kansas, to afford
that protection to emigrants which Gov
ernment has refused, and accusing the ad-
ministration of being the instigator and
upholder of the outrages in that territory.
Other resolutions, less ultra, were Of
fered by Reeder and others.
Gov. Reeder made long speech on
the wrongs of Kansas and her right to be
admitted to the Union under the Tope-
ka Constitution, at the close of which he
spoke of Gerritt Smiths resolutions as
too ultra.
AFTERNOON SEssIoN.-The Commit
tee on Resolutions reported, declaring
the Federal Administration the upholder
of oppression and outrases in Kansas
that the attempt to force slavery on Kan
sas, must, at whatever cost, be defeated
that the bill just passed by the Senate is
deceptive and fraudulent; redresses no
wrongs, and only is designed to make
Kansas Slave State-pledgins increas.
ed exertion to make Kansas frec-declar
ing that there are many precedents to
warrant the admission cf Kansas under
the Topeka Constitution.
The resolutions were adopted
After some debate, Eli Thayer was APP
pointed General Agent to superintenl
the formation Of State Committees.
A collection was then taken up.
Gerritt Smith has given $500 per
month during the war, and handed in
his check for the first instalmcnt.
A resolution was adopted, reccommen-
ding capitalists to loan settlers sufficient
to enable them to secure their pre-emp-
ton claims.
After some debate touching material
aid to succeed against the United
States troops, and to indemnify individu
al sufferers, but without producing any
thing particular, National Central Com
mittce was appointed, and the Cenven-
ton adjourned sine de.
The Committee includes Coy. Reeder:

ways expect them to go mad. a lady
asked me once for a motto for her dog
Spot. | proposed, "Out, Damned Spot"
but she did not think it sentimental
enough. You remember the story of the
French marquisc, who, when her pet lap
dog bit piece out of her footman's leg,
"Ah, poor little beast hope

day on Mrs. -, and her lap-dog few
at my leg and bit it. After plying her

she could to comfort me, by assuring me
that the dog was Dissenter, and hated
the Church, and was brought up liz a
Tory family. But whether the bite came
from madness Or dissent, | knew myself
too well to neglect it, and went on the

AMERICAN BIBLE USIoN.-Soma im-
portant developements concerning the
operations of this Society have been
made public by Rev. DIR. Maclav, who
has just resigned the presidency of the
Union. The object Of the Society as is
we'll known, is to furnish new version
of the Bible. The society is under the
control of a portion of the Baptist de-
nomination. DIR. Maclay succeeded Rev.
DR.. Conc, as President, and subsequent
ly made searching investigation OF the
society's affairs, which he found in a
very unsatisfactory state, and not being
able TO reform matters, resigned The
following are the reasons assigned for the
resignation
Being fully satisfied from personal
examination, that the funds which have
done so much to collect, and which |
know have been most sacrcdly devoted,
by the rich and the poor, to one of the
holiest purposes of Christian charity, arc
being squandored +; that vast amount is
expended for operations remote from the
one great object of the institution; that
men arc employed to translate the word
Of God who are not qualified for the
work that unwarrantable translations
have been made, which if published,
must bring into discredit the most prec-
ious doctrines of my faith, sap the fun
damcntal truths of ofChristianity as indub-
itably revealed in the Holy Scriptures,
and shake the confidence of the people
in the canon of the sacred writings; that
such revisions are likely to be published
for indiscriminate circulation without
the previous precautionary examination
provided for, and required by the plan
and rules of revision, as originally adopt
cd by the Beard; that the controlling
power of the institution has become CON-
pIetclv centralized in one man and that
the exercise of that power is not only
such as to forbid the hope Of reform, but
also to blast the name and influence OF
every one who advocates reform feeling
perfectly satisfied of all this, am COM
PEELED. by stern sense of duty, to aban.
don the enterprise, and to free myself as
far as possible, from all further respon-
sibility in its operations. And l cannot
doubt but my friends when rightly in
formed will justify me for so doing"

COMMUNION OF KINDRED SOULS.

Why may not spirit hold communion
With kindred spirit here below
Souls bound BY no earth bond- Of union,
Nor ever hope such bonds To know:
Why must me quench this higher nature,
The souls dyinest, uob!est feature,
The lofiiest gift OF our Creator
All why must this be so:
u. how glance Of recognition
From earnest eyes, when souls have met,
Fills all our life with joy Elysian,
\ joy we never can forget
Yet we must check the fountains gushing.
Which oft from soul TO soul Is rushing,
While its rich waters MIGHT be flushing
Der hearts alone as yet.
All why this ever restless longing
To meet a soul whose every tone,
The hopes and fears around it thronging,
Are bu, reflex of our own:
o is it wrong-,hs eeasless ycarning,
The hidden souls volcanic burning
May no, that soul, in all its turning
Re TO another known
. God why deep within the spirit
This subtle essence hast Thou placed,
If NONE its fuliness may inherit
Ii we must wander through life's waste,
With none to know the fount of feeling
Which seeks for aye its own revealing.
And longs from echoes backward stealing,
One little drausht to taste
1t is NOT hfe-this constant aching,
The soul unanswered and unknown,
o Father when the heart is breaking,
Which feels ON earth alone-alone;
Whore can it hee but up to heaven,
Hoping. its lates, earth -throb given.
To dwell where nevermore are riven
Spirits of kindred tone. IMoGES.
