been compelled to conclude treaty which
does not contain one solitary stipulation in
our favor, except that there shall be peace
but which unsettles the boundaries of our
country and leaves to the decision of COM
missioners, whether we shall longer retain
part Of our own territory, which VIC held
In quiet possession for more .Alan twenty

would soon have resulted in national bank
ruptcy; Notwithstanding all our property,

taxed heavily notwithstanding we have not
obtained a single object which we had in
view at the commencement Of the contest,
but have lost many valuable privileges ;
notwithstanding our country has been inva-
ded in every quarter, and the Capitol Of the
United States has been laid in ashes by a
maranding party of the enemy-this has
been called glorious pari Glorious it

American character, but disgracefia an the
extreme to the Administration. When the
individual States discovered that they were
abandoned by the General Government
whose duty it was to protect them, the for
titude Of their citizens aroused with their
misfortunes. The moment We were ihva-
ded, the genius of freedom inspired their
souls. They rushed upon their enemies
with hallowed fury, which the hireling
soldiers of Britain could never feel. They
taught our foe that the soil of freedom
would be the grave Of its invaders.

The KOfes

Mr. Barclays motion to reconsider the
vote upon the Kansas Bill, in the House of
Representatives, succeeded by a vote of 1OI
to 99 The bill itself subsequently, passed,
ayes 100, nays 81. The Northern mem
bers voting nay are as follows: Allen, Illi-

RISON, Of Ohio.
Among those who voted against the bill,
when it was lost by enc vote was the muir
derer Herbert. Had he been indicted and
imprisoned day or two sooner, the vote
would have passed by the casting vote of
Speaker Banks. Mr. Barclays motion to
reconsider having subsequently carried,
there was one vote less against the admis-
sion-Mr. Herbert, meanwhile, having been
lodged in Jail to await his trial. His Sab
sence7 thus contributed one to the majority
of three, by which the bill was finally passed.

Eg Wemake the following extract from
a letter of a friend. It would do US pleas
ure to publish the whole, but we cannot
find space:
=
He who led our Fathers to conflict and
triumphed as if endowed with preternatl-
raj vision saU the true source of our secu-
rity and peril and embodied his prophetic
conviction in sentence that shall live and
burn on the lips of every true American
"United we stand, divided we fall"
Would to Heaven that some of our bo-
gus American Congressman could have that
sentence written in indelli5le, 5urn,ng letters
on their foreheads Would that some of
them could have one coal of fire from the
altar of Liberty burning on their tongues.
Doubtless if my prayer was granted the
most dignifed of American Councils would
not be dishonored by the detestible senti-
ments of disunion. We should regard the
Union as an inviolable marriage bond
of States-as theme too sacred in its ma
ture TO admit of discussion by those who
desire dissolution. How humiliating the
thought that we have demagogues among
US who in their measures have shown a
Willingness to sacrifice everything for their
own emolument! But am not fearful of
a dissolution of the Union, for I regard
such an event as an impossibility, It will
require too mighty an effort to sever the
tender and holy ties of friendship existing
between the North and South. Do not the
preachers of dissolution of the Union
know that with the American people there
is strength and power in the ties of con-
sanguinity that no force of circumstances
can turn from the channel which God and
nature intended they should traverse and
that peopled as it is dissolution can ueper,
nener happen? Let politicians gabble, but
let US remember that the people will laugh
to seorn their imbecile yetwicked endeavets.
Could those who achieved our Liberties
leave their graves and mingle withus in our
doubts and assurances they would still re-
peat the dying accents of their great COM
patriot-% United ace stand, divided 1ge fall"
Let this sentiment vibrate with thrilling
energy through our land, let it be echoed in
every valley, on every mountain, through
every hamlet and swelling city; let every
breeze that sweeps from the Atlantic shore
bear it on to the deep forests of the West
let it kindle along the icy cliffs of the
North and spread in electieal radiance over
the fervid plains of the South; let every
cloud of embosc med thunder give it utter
ance while it flames in characters of living
light on the baldric of our sky.

LETTER OF SENATOR BUCKLAND.

EDITOR JOURNAL The last q Democratic
Messenger" in its comments on remarks
made by sour SENATOR" which is understood
to refer to myself, says: "This same man,
under Fillmore's administration, here in this
town, was calling upon the whig party to
sustain the fugitive slave law" That state
ment is utterly false. Inever, at any time,
urged anybody to sustain the fugitive slave
law; on the contrary, l have frequently de-
clared that I never would, under any cir
cumstances, aid in arresting fugitive slave,
and that no human power could compel me
to do it.
That paper goes on to say further: "He
said not word in regard to his votes in fa-
vor of increasing the salaries of ofice-hold-
ers, and exempting some twenty millions of
dollars from taxation" All 1 have to say
to that is that 1 never gave any such votes.
The editor of that sheet, though 1 have no
personal acquaintance with him, seems to
take great pleasure in misrepresenting my
acts in the senate, which he has done in al
most every number of his paper.

MThe sandusky Democrat in it

@The Sandusky Demoerdtin its last
issue parades with a great deal of gusto
the following base fabrication, which has
not even the semblance of truth:
Is it True.
Col, Fremont, the republican candidate
for President, is said 10 be Stare holder!
So states A. j. Lewis, Esq, Boston, upon
his knowledge.-N H. Pat.
The Cleveland Pzqindealer made the
same statement a few days.since, to which
the Herald replied, that it was just as true
as to state on the authority Of John Smith
that Bachelor Buchanan is bigamist, and
has as many wives as Brigham Young, and
yet the Plaindealer leads and parades the
paragraph to gull such readers as look upon
that veracious sheetas their political bible.
The Dealer has already repeated the
publication, for a governing motive with the
editor is, that "a lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth"
Now We happened to have much better
Democratic authority for eontradieting the
falsehood, than the PIuindca'er's "a. J.

from Maine, who has been leading and
recognized Democrat all his life up to with

ates the Cincinnati platform and the nomi-
nees, at the late Fremont ratification meet
ing in Worchester, Mass, bore the following
manly and valuable testimony to the char
acter and principles of the Peoples candi-
date. He said:
Who is John c. Fremont? He is the

It has been complained of Fremont that
he is without sufficient antecedents as to
his position or qualifications for the Presi-
dency. But not only has he antecedents Of
the RIGHT kind, but rs is an anteeedent an
himself! He IS a greater executive officer
than anv man since Andrew jackson.
John C. Fremont IS an anti-slayery man,
and has always been one from his boyhood.
Although native of Georgia, and brought
up in South Carolina, in spite of his early
associations he was ever for Freedom
When embarking on his Western tour he

and thus true to our principles we have

the helm of the government, if he can
prevent it. not one inch shall slavery be ex-
tended over the national territory.

the reports in the Buchanan papers, that
Hon. Thomas Ewing supports Mr.. Buchan-
an, are without foundation. He is not en-
gagged in the campaign, and while he has
spoken respectfully of Mr.. BIS experience
and abilities, he has no respect for the plat
form on which he stands, and will not vote

Upon their election hang the hopes of Ere

In view Of these considerations it is pro-
posed to hold Young Mems Republican

STATEMENT OF J. F. BLISS.

Twas in Col. Rich's Store at Ft. Leaven-
worth, Kansas Territory, on Friday, June
18th, 1856, and listened to a conversation
between Judge Lecompte and some other
gentleman, unknown to me, relative to Gov.
Robinson and other prisoners, and, likewise
the policy of President Pierce in regard to
Kansas affairs. One of the gentlemen ex-
pressed fears as to the orthodoxy fMr Bu-
chanan on the slavery question, Lecompte
replied that he had letters from some of
Buchanan's friends, and that he was all right
on the "Goose," and that he would pursue
the same policy that Pierce had-but that
it must be kept still in order to carry Penn
sylvania and New York; and, said Lecomp-
te, ''he will fool old Reeder into supporting
him, too Old Buck is all right, boys don't
fear him."
The above is, in substance, the conversa-
ton that passed IN my hearing, of which I
made minute at the time.
