Presidential Reception.

A gentleman who was present at the "grand
reception" given to President Pierce at Ports
mouth, N. H., says, by dint of the greatest ef-
forts and call upon the people irrespective Of
party to come out and show proper respect to
the President of the United States, there were
from three to five thousand persons assembled,
of all sects and parties, as all had curiosity to
hear him try to exhonorate himself from blame
in regard to Kansas affairs.
Mr.. Scroggs, one Of the secretaries in the late
Investigating Committee to Kansas, introduced
resolution, that he be not received" which was
carried by shout that made the arch of the
heavens ring. The preamble to the resolution
was to the effect, that the troubles in Kansas
were brought about by deep laid schemes on the
part of Southern politicians, including Stephen
Arnold Douglas and few other northern dough-
faces and demagogues, and all with the conni-
vance of the Administration, Frank Pierce at
their head; and that the blood of the Free State
men in that territory, murdered in defending
their lives and their property, lay in has skirts.
After this resolution was thus carried, that he
be not received, his own party then called meet
ing at another place, which being purely Demo
cratic, gave him the reception" that has been
going the rounds of the pro-slavery press. This
gentleman stated that the vote against receiving
him was three to one, and that in his own State

The Position. Personal ind Political,
OF John G. Fremont.

OF John &. Fremont.
We consider that no candidate for the Pres
idency since the establishment of our Govern
ment has ever occupied more remarkable po-
sition than John c. Fremont at the present
time. The fortitude and self command which
he has cyinccd during the canvass arc almost
unexampled in the history of our great men,
Many-whom the nation delights to honor
Clay, jackson, Gen. Scott-under less severe
pressure than Col Fremont has had to sustain,
gave way, and gave the people practical evil
dence that they could not command themselves.
Yet how small their provocaton compared to
Fremont's? Assuredly no man was ever SO
much abused in this country as this man. He
has been called liar, a perjurer, a traitor, a
defaulter, a dishonest runaway, brawler, a
coward, b!underer; he has been attacked in
his faith, III his morals, in his character, in his
past history, in his present circumstances; even
his parents have been dug out of their grave
to insult and vllify him through them.
Under this unexampled torrent of provoca-
ton, Col. Fremont has not once lost his self
command. Not line has he answered to the
slanderers; no sign have they that he knew of
their existence; till creatures like the Brookses
and the McIasters have gone crazy with rage
at not even getting kicked, and foamed idiotical-
ly into letters which Fremont read with smile.
Such quality is precisely the requisite for
President. 1t is the rarest, the most valua-
BILE, and at the same time the most essential of
all qualities Y Herald

Geo = Coffee, recently editor of the Democratic
Argus, has repadated Buchanan and last night
joined the Fremont Democratic Club. He made
speech fully identifying himself with the Re.

from s,umping the State in behalf of Buchanan.
He was corresponding secretary Of the Key

to Buchanan his nomination. He was also ora

Further Outraged by the Missouri Ban.


The telegraph on Thursday brought intelli-
gence of the sinking of the steamer Genoa, on
the Missouri River, near Nebraska City, on the
3Oth ult. One of our citizens who was on board
the boat at the time, and who has since returned
home across Iowa, has given US the particulars
of a fresh instance of rutfian outrage that came
under his observation on the day previous, Sep.
30. The boat landed on that day at small
town little below Omaha City, and had no
sooner touched the shore than band of some
twenty-five or thirty Missouri marauders, head
ed by a ferce-looking ruffian bristling with pis-
tolls, a bowie knife and revolver, leaped upon
deck. The head villain mounted box, and in
coarse, insolent language, interlarded with
oaths, demanded of the passengers where they
were going, what their bushes was, &C., declar-
ing that he should permit ''no id abolition
list to pass into Kansas" BE further declared
that they were determined to ''drive all the
Free State men out of the Territory" The pas
sengers, nearly all of whom were Northern peo-
pie, but not bound for Kansas, paid no attention
to the fellows harangue, but Of course were an
noyed by the unwclcome intrusion of the gang,
and were apprehensive that violence or plumber
would be added to insolence. It happened that
the Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, was on
board, and he undertook to expostulate with the
leader, and finally succeeded in inducing the
party to leave without further molestation to the
passengers.
Our informant learned that the whole shore of
the Missouri was lined with banditti of this de-
scription from Council Bluffs downward, block
ing up the entrance to the Territory at every
point. As many may leave as choose to do SO,
but not one is allowed to 60 in. We see from
these facts that the old Atchison game of making
Kansas slave State is in full progress all along
the frontiers, while Gov. Geary, under pretence
of establishing law and order within it, is efici-
emily cooperating to the same end Let the
people consider whether they viii permit these
outrages to continue ~ the perpetuaten of the
