Slavery Extension Ayowed!

The N. Y. Day Book, Buchanan or
gan in New York city, says:
"Shall the Democratic party fear the
issue, to oppose the extension of Slavery!
No, indeed! thousand times, million
times, no! THERE IS NOT A
SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN THE
WHOLE OF THE NORTH OPP
POSED TO THE EXTENSION OF
SOUTHERN SOCIETY, OR so
CALLED EXTENSION OF 'SLAV-
ERY,' and they only wait to have the
truth spoken out, and things called by
their right names, to sweep the abolition
imposture from the Republic, and to bury
its besotted tools in the profoundest depths
in the lowest possible depths of public
contempt"
The Washington Union, the national
organ of the 'Democratic"party says that
the honest and heroic FREE LABOR
ING MEN of Kansas,
"Are a MISERABLE, BLEAR-
EYED RABBLE, who have been trans
ferred like SO MANY CATTLE to
that country
The New York Day Book, one of the
two papers in New York city that sup
port James Buchanan, proposes to en-
slave poor AMERICANS, GERMANS
and IRISH, who may fall into poverty
and be unable to support their families.
Here are the Day Books exact words in
speaking of the POOR WHITE PEG
PIE.
"Sell the parents, of these children in
to SLAVERY. Let our Legislature
pass a law that whoever will take these
parents, and take care of them and their
OFFSPRING, in sickness and in health
cloth them, feed them, and house them
shall be legally entitled to their SER
vices and let the same Legislature de-
cree that whoever receives these parents
and their CHILDREN, and obtains
their services, shall take care of them
AS LONG AS THEY LIVE"
SENATOR BUTLER, (the uncle of
Assassin Brooks,) shining light in the
Democratic galaxy, declared in a speech
In the Z. S. Senate this session
That men have no right to VOTE
unless they are possessed of property as
required by the Constitution Of South
Carolina. There no man can vote un-
less he owns ten negroes, or real estate
to the value of ten thousand dollars"

But the Council seem to have an ex-
cessive fear of "giving the controlling
power of legislation to a minority.
They say, unless the people prefer to
give the minority power over the MAJOR
ity, the Constitutional Convention will
adopt the proposed amendment to make
the representation more in accordance
with the population of the state. Yet
the Council do distinctly propose SO to
amend the Constitution that the minority
MAY have "the controlling power, not
only of the ordinary legislation of the
state, but " the controlling power" in the
| Council of Censors, and in future Con-
stitutional Conventions. They directly
propose that members of the Legislature,
the Council OF Censors, and Constitution
al Conventions, may be elected by pt''-
rally of votes. Suppose in the counties
and state there are three or, five parties,
that party which casts no more than one
third, or one fifth, of the whole vote, I'M
der their rule, elects its delegates-and
thus, though lean minority, acquires
'the controlling power" in the Legisla-
ture, the Council, the Convention, one Oh
all, as the case may be. 80, consisten
cy, thou art jewel?"
Again, it is generally conceded tina
!? legislatures should be so organized tina
, one branch shall be check on the other
f But the Council propose such rule tina
the constituency of certain set of dele
,. gates in the House, to wit, from an,
!. county, shall be identically the same con
It stituency as that of certain other set {
e delegates in the Senate. Under sue
v circumstances how is one branch to wor
V as check on the other? The interests {
V the two sets of delegates being the same
5. their motives, constituencies, and the tel
e ritory they represent, the same, why no
s if economy and reduction of numbers b
$, the object, dispense with one branch {
n the Legislature, bring all its members tc
d gether in one hall, and proportional
ID through the state reduce its number {
is delegates?

The Recent State Elections.

Great anxiety has been felt the past
week in reference to the elections in Ohio,
Indiana and Pennsylvania. Ohio has
gone Republican by some 10000 major
ity over the Democrats. Indiana is said
to have gone for the Bogus Democracy
by from 5000 to 10000, although returns
are very conflicting. Pennsylvania is
claimed by both parties. The New York
Herald pretends to have official returns,
from which the Buchanan ticket is elected
by a majority of between 600 and 700
only. 1t is now probable that that ticket
has succeeded, although the vote is so
close that it can be decided only by Off
cial count.
1t is claimed that stupendous fraud,
have been committed, and steps are al
ready taken to contest the validity of the
election. As single example. The
vote of Philadelphia is larger than ever
cast by any city of the Union, showing,
if honest, that there are 100000 inhab-
itants there, instead of little over 400,-
900 according to the returns of the last
census.
Such, in short, has been the result in
these elections, as to strengthen the hope
of some that these states will go for Ere
mont in November. We, however, think
the political horizon looks rather squally
at present.
Its claimed that the Quakers of Penn
sylvania, who took no part in this cleo
ton, will all 90 for Fremont, and the
Germans, many of whom voted the Bu-
chanan ticket, viii then go for Fremont.
These two classes alone will swell his
vote from $4,000 to 10000. If these
estimates are correct, Pennsylvania is
A., safe.

A Sam Patch Lean.

A short time since as Mr.. D. West
was passing by the noted falls near South
Troy, with a span of three years old
colts and double wagon, his colts took
fright and rushed down a steep bank 80
or 40 feet in height, through a mass of
underbrush, and plunged headlong into
the dark waters of the Missisquoi river
Help Immediately came and the colts
were released from the wagon, when they
made for the deeper part of the river
Soon 1t was discovered that they were
making for the falls and it was expected
that they would pass over and be dashed
in pieces on the ragged rocks below
One, however, was rescued from his per-
ilous situation, while the other passed
over. The height of the falls is estima-
ted at thirty feet, and the water rushes in
savage fury over and among the rocks.
The colt was buried beneath the spray.
and 1t was supposed by all that he was
killed, but he was soon discovered ten or
fifteen rods below the falls, lodged against
a ledge. 1t was found that he "stiu
lived" He was then taken from the
water and led up a steep bank-a task
which most well horses would have failed
to accomplishment safely lodged in the
stable lie is doing well at the present
time.
