ST. LOUIS, June 9.-An extra of the West
port Times of the 9TH says that reliable news
has been received of the burning os the town
of BERNARD by the Free State forces, on the
nioht of the Sd inst, aud the destruction of
from Sl2, 900 to $4,000 worth of property.
A company OF SIX men had arrived atWe
port, stating that at o'clock on the morning
of the 4th, the Abolitionsts attacked and cap
turei Franklin. They numbered 300, and
were opposed by only twelve or fifteen pro-
slavery men. Mr.. Fishmaker and two others
are reported killed. The men who made the
report belonged to Capt. Jennings company
of emigrants, who. they say, fought against
the Abolitionists for an hour, but, being out
numbered, they fed when the town was cap
tured.
The Independence (No.) correspondent of
the ST. Louis Republican, writing under date
of June s. says Marshal Donaldson and
four men, who had been discharged from off,
cial duty, were killed near Hickory Point on
the Sd inst. The Marshal was in tho act of
arresting some of the men who had attacked
Capt. PATHS company.
After the surrender of Capt. PATHS compa-
nv, the Free Sellers commenced the work of
destroying houses. and driving men. women
and children from their houses, near Hull
Greek. One hundred and fifty men, under
Capt. Reed, lett Santa Fe in pursuit of the
marauders, but Col. Sumner arrived at Black
Jack in time to prevent conflict.
1t is reported that Franklin was not taken,
though attacked by large party Of Abolition
lists.
Governor Shannon issued a proclamation
on the 4th, commanding all persons belonging
to military companies unauthorized by law,
to dispense, otherwise they would be dispersed
by force of the us. troops. The proclamation
requires all officers of the government to be
vigilant in enforcing the laws against offend
ers, aud protecting the property and persons
of all law-abiding citizens. The ploclama
ton further says that all aggressive parties
from outside the Territory will be repulsed
that the military force under the control of the
Executive is ample to enforce the laws aud
protect the rights of citizens. The proclama
ton of President Pierce of Feb. ii is append
ed, and notice given that it will be strictly en-
forced.
A requisiton has been made on Col. Sum.
ner for sufficient force to secure obedience tc
the proclamation.

Among al the good traits in the character of
that remarkable woman, Mrs. Partington, who it
must be admitted does sometimes twist the
"King's English" out of shape, is a generous,
charitable, catholic spirit. 1t is shown in the
following letter, There is lesson in it for many
who speak more grammatically than she. She
says:
DEAR RFRIENDs-Your letter inviting me to be
with YOU at Christmas, made me feel very happi-
full. l am not one of your Christmas folks neith-
er; because have always been to Presbyterian
church, where the gospel was dispensed with ac-
cording to their tenants, and christmas was al
ways thought to be relic of Romanisnl-the
bad women of Babbling mentioned in scripter-
but it always seemed pleasant like to see the
green hamlock and the underbrush desecrating
the windows of the church folks, and the laugh
ing voices of that time made me feel happier to
hear it; though old Mrs. Wiggip she that was
Polly Neal, caught romantic affection IN her
back and had an embargo in her shoulder setting
at the window watching the sinners, as she
called 'em, over the blinds opposite as they were
dancing. She was very envious creature.
Thank heaven there amt anything enviable
about me.

A Plank for the Old Line Wings.

A few selfsacrifcing and patriotic Wings of
this city, propose to revive the old Wing party,
air its old doctrines and principles, lubrcate its
rusted and stiffened machinery, and set it again
in motion. And as these gentlemen may have
some trouble in hunting up its scattered effects,
digging up the various planks of the old plat
form. we have so far consented to tighten their
labor of love, as to exhume the following. 1t is
one of series of resolutions drafted by Mr..
Webster, and reported by J. Thomas Stevenson,
to Wing Convention in Fanuil Hall in 1916.
Resolued, That the people of Massachusetts
will continue to use all constitutional measures
to restrain the already pIoponderating influence
of the slavehcdng interest in the national legis-
lature, to defeat all measures calculated to up
hold Slavery, and promote all constitutional
measures for its overthrow; and will oppose at
all times with uncompromising zeal and frmness
any further addition of slaveholding States to
| this Union, out of mhdterer territory formed;
and that they will in like manner, oppose all
further extension of the slavery of the African
race on this continent.
''If, under the government of Providence, il
shall happen that portions of this continent no,
belonging to the United States shall be settled
by the Saxon race, let those settlers carry with
them, wherever they 60, together with theil
| own free blood the blessings of free govern
ment and free institutions to all, and chains and
slavery to none. Wherever our language il
hereafter to be spoken, our history remembered
our example quoted, or our kindred acknowl
edged, there let universal freedom and equa
laws be maintained by man."

The SIGNS BEGINNING TO FA1L.-The Provi-
dence Journal thus reconcies itself to the tiaaeA
so portentous of late-the editor must be Yam
kee philosopher-hear him
Well; Mr.. Banks is elected Speaker, and the
committees have been appointed in accordance
with the political sentiments of the plurality that
elected him. in accordance with the political SEN
timent of the people but none Of the dreadful
things predicted as the certain consequences Of
such an event have yet taken place. "A freesoil-
er is at the head Of the House, and the Union is
not dissolved; the Ways and Means. the Terri
tories, the Elections, the Judiciary, all the Inn
portant committees, are in the hands OF men who
believe that slavery is moral and political evil,
| and that it ought not to be extended beyond the
limits assigned to it by the constitution, and the
rights of the states. And yet Congress has not
broken up; the South Carolina delegates even
the pay is eight dollars day and mileage-have
not Withdrawn, but stand patriotically up to u
| public crib and Georgia standing on her con
stitutional palladium has not dug q trench
around the Green Mountains and foated them
into the Atlantic" as was proposed in the legis
lature Of that state.

Rcpublican state convention.


OPINIONS OF THE PREss.-We shall, from time
to time, re-publish from State papers, the views
of the Editors, which shall seem note worthy
and interesting touching this political move,
ment The following, we cut from the Daven'
port Gazette, of Monday, whose editor attended
as Delegate:
We give the proceedings in full this morning
of the Republican Convention held in Iowa City
on Friday. 1t was much the largest Convention
that ever assembled in the State of Iowa. Men
were there as Delegates from Dallas, Cerro Cor
do and other far distant counties, many of them
having travelled from 100 to $50 miles. The
greatest enthusiasm marked the proceedings, and
the utmost unanimity prevailed upon the great
question for which we had all assembled. Scores
of speeches were made, all pointing at the great
issue, and every one of them marked by ability.
Men accustomed to attend political gatherings,
and who had assembled in Conventions in East
ern States remarked that they never had wit
messed such a manifestation of talent. During
the afternoon, one man after another took the
floor in favor of the limitation of slave terrific
ry, sundered the ties that bound him to the false
ly called Democratic party, and gave in his al
legiance to the Republican party. 1t was an ex'
perience meeting, and men in the candor of their
hearts briefly tersely told of their bitter ex-
perience in the school Of Locofocoism.
The Delegates generally from Scott county,
went to the Capital with the determination to in
troduce two planks into the platform, but after
a resolute effort, observing that it would lead to
division and bad feeling, they obeyed the gener-
Gus impulses of their hearts and yielded to the
majority The happiest feeling prevailed, and
men felt as though they had indeed assembled
for great and noble purpose, and that their
constituents who had entrusted to them ques-
ton of such vital Importance expected of thelh
that they would do their work satisfactorily. 1t
pas done-a platform was constructed upon
which every man opposed to the encroachments
of slavery upon free territory can stand That
platform and brief synopsis of the proceedings
can be found in to-day's Gazette.
