Fillmore a Nullifer.

Mr.. Fillmore recently declared, in a
speech at Albany, that the South would
not submit, and ought not to submit, If
Fremont and Dayton were elected. Mr.
Fillmore has been urged for the Presi
dency on the ground of his intense con
servatism and devotion to the Union
After the above declaration, we appre-
hend his northern supporters will have to
back down little on that score. In vol
unteering this reasonable advice to the
South, Mr.. Fillmore may improve his
Presidential prospects in that section
but it will render still more remote his
chances ofcarryinG single northern cleo
toral vote. Won't submit, indeed J.
Let the South and the South American
candidate attempt to try that on, after
Col. Fremont is inaugurated, and they
will find man Of the Jackson stamp to
deal with.

The yetoes Vetoed.

The Senate, Democratic at that, has
rode rough shod over the veto of Frank
Pierce, and passed the st. Mary's River
and st. Clair Flats Improvement bill, the
former % to 10, the latter % to g. Of
course every Republican Senator present
voted for the bill, and as Frank Pierce is
emphatically a dead cock in the pit,
enough Democrats screwed their courage
to the sticking point and made the vote
two thirds. Will the party in the House
do as we'll? We shall see, and be right
glad to record similar independence.
No mistake about it, the nomination Of
the popular young Explorer has achieved
more already than fogy politicians have
wrought out in years. Douglas and his
Northern Doughface and Southern Slave
face confederates have been backed right
down from their Squatter Sovereignty

To the Readers Of the Pioneer.

An arrangement having been effected
whereby the undersigned assume charge
Of the Pioneer, we this week introduce
ourselves to its readers, in doing which a
brief outline ofour objects. aims and prin-
ciples may not be inappropriate.
And first as to politics, that being the
ll-absorbing theme now before the peo-
pie, we stand upon the Republican Plat
form adopted at Philadelphia, and shall
faithfully support the candidates who
have been nominated to carry out the OBJ
jects contemplated. In the Platform, we
recognize those great principles of free
dom upon which our republican fabric is
based-principles which must be main
tanned if we would perpetuate the Union
of the States, preserve our own rights
and transmit the bic ssings of free gov
ernment to those who are to come after
us. Such platform must eventually
command the appreciation Of all mer
everywhere who love freedom better thar
slavery, and enlist in its support all who
desire to promote the welfare of the ma
ton, regardless of their former political
attachments.
In the candidates, we have men whose
antecedents and unqualified accep
tance Of the platform give us the strong
est possible assurance that they will, j
honored with the confidence of the Ameri
can people. bring back the administration
of the government from that turbulen
sea of sectionalism upe which it ha
been drifting, to the safe channel marked
out by its founders. The choice of th'
candidates thus presented will be the sig
nal Of the restoration of peace and t,an
quillity TO the nation, the designs Of sec
tional demagogues and traitors will b,
frustrated, and the just rights Of the peo
pie, in each and every portion Of thu
Union. sedulously guarded and main
tanned.

The Republicans of Upper Sandusky
had large and spirited meeting at the
Court House last evening. Speeches
were made by Col. Scott, of Butler coun-
ty, our able and popular candidate for
Supreme Judge for the long term, and
J. G. Lee, Esq, of Tihin, both admirable
and telling efforts, eliciting the applause
of the audience.

In taking our leave Of the readersof the
"Pioneer," we cannot but express our
regret that the remarks in regard to the
Republican nomination for President, in
the last number should have wounded the
feelings of some of our friends. To those
Of them who have approached us like
gentlemen upon the subject, we deem this
apology due, while we have not word of
apology to offer to those who have treated
us harshly and ungentlcmanly. We hold
ourself personally responsible to them for
anything we haze said or may say hereaf-
ter.
There are scores of kind friends in the
Republican ranks for whom we entertain
the warmest feelings of friendship and es-
TEEN, and it is to them that we desire to
express our regret at having wounded
their feelings. But while we do this. we
wish it distinctly understood that we have

THE FOURTH.


The celebration of the "Fourth" was
a splendid affair. AS was announced in
the programme, the booming cannon
awoke from their peaceful slumbers the
inhabitants of our quiet village. just as
the glorious sun of Independence was
setting forth on his eighty first annual
revolution. At an early hour The inhab-
itants from the surrounding country be-
gan to pour in and continued until our
streets were literally filed with human
beings. Seldom, if ever, has our town
been SO full ofpeople. At the appointed
time the procession formed with the Up
per Sandusky Union Band in front, whose
spirit-stirring strains caused the young
and ardent hearts to beat high with pa
triotic devotion to their country. Next
to them were the "Union Schools un-
der the superintendent of their able and
efficient teachers, Mr.. Mott and his as
sistants. The procession of little girls
and boys, with their gay banners waving
in the breeze, their bright eyes and inno-
cent countenances, attracted particular
attention, and elected special commenda-
ton; in fact, it was the most beautiful
part of the whole proceedings. The ex-
ercises at the grove, which, by the way,
is one of the most delightful places ima-
ginable-our friend Ayres having spared
no pains to fit it up in superb style-were
decidedly interesting. aa
The Declaration of independence was
well read by Master James Irvine The
speeches by Messrs. Wilson and Grisel
were elegant and appropriate. -
The refreshments were then served
and as there were a great many more
people present than was anticipated, anc
as unfortunately the days ofmiracles have
long since passed, there was not suficien
to feed the immense concourse; conse
quently some had to go home hungry.
The utmost enthusiasm and harmony
prevailed throughout the entire day
The proceedings wound up with the bes
of feeling by the reading of the following
Toasts, some of which were appropriate

our republican system are atically
assailed by the Southern Oligarchy. who
boldly declare their intention to subvert
the Constitution of their country in order
to plant the odious institution of negro
slavery ia all the territories of the United
Sta es--an institution which degrades
/ white labor and practically excludes the
white laborer from the occupancy of those
territories. Strange as it may seem,
the party which makes common cause
with the slaveholding aristocracy of the
South. anil is implicitly relied upon to ex-
ecute all its unrighteous edicts. arrogates
to itself the name of " Democrat and
| lays exclusive claim to all the g Democra-
c, I" in the land. 1t is Democratic, we
are told, to permit slavery to overrun the
national territories even to force it upon
the inhabitants contrary to their clearly
expressed wish and anti-democratic to
oppose these things. The authors and
advocates of this monstrous doctrine oc-
cupy the high places in the nation they
ask the people to endorse their high
handed crimes against freedom by eleva-
ting to the Presidency one who will fol-
low in their footsteps. And the success
of their odious schemes in the approach
ing contest depends upon their power to-
divide and thereby weaken the friends
of republican freedom. Let the people
of the free North take warning, and unite
as one man TO rescue the government
from the hands of those who have con-
vetted into an instrument of despotism.
TO the triumph Of the Republican par
ty must the people look for firm and
successful resistance to the dangerous and
alarming encroachments of the slave
power. With the gallant Fremont in the
Presidential chair, pledged as he is to the
glorous doctrines of the republican creed,
we may expect an emphatic recognition
by his administration of the policy Of the
trainers of the Constitution and the ear

COOP News FROM ILLINoIs.-We saw

Report of the Kansas Committee.


The Report of the Kansas Investiga-
ting Committee was made to the House
of Representatives on the 1st inst It
very lengthy, and gives detailed account
of the manner in which affairs have been
managed in that territory since its organi-
cation, and more than confirms the most
highly colored representations that have,
from time to time. been published, re-
specting the outrages of the border ruff
fans. The Committee say that "eoery
election in the territory has been controlled
not by the actual settlers, but by citizens
of Missouri, and as consequence every
officer in the Territory, from constables
to legislators, except those appointed by
the President, owe their positions to non
resident voters. None have been elected
by the settlers, and your Committee have
been unable to find that any political pow
er whatever, however unimportant, has
been exercised by the people of the Terri
tory"
The Committee give an abstract of the
testimony by which these charges are
proved. together with the name of the
witness testifying to each particular fact.
The Committee refrain from expressing
any opinions Of their own--their entire
report is a solid array of facts, which must
startle the people of the United States,
and serve to rivet still more closely their
attention to the designs of the black pow
er in regard to Kansas, and fill them with
more intense hatred Of the lawless acts
Of the Missouri border rufians.

John BrOugh.

Miracles will never cease. Who would
have thought John Brough could ever for
sake the Locofocos +? At the Indianapo-
lis Republican meeting, the other evening,
he said that for twelve years he had ia
ken no part in politics, and that if he
made speech upon the old platform, it
might not be applicable now.
The Journal says :. Mr.. Brough was
once the most prominent leader of the
Democracy of Ohio, and as such prepar-
ed with his own hand the platform of
1841 in that~State, when Mr. Polk was
running for the Presidency, and Mr.. Tod
for Governor. That platform declared
the Democracy of Ohio to be uncompro-
misingly opposed to the extension of Sla-
very, and from that position Mr.. Brough
has not ia ken a step backwards His po-
sitlon now is the same as n 1914, aud il
the Democracy of the Union had remain
ed true to their position we should not
see so many staunch and reliable men of
the party ranging themselves under the
banner of the opposition.
We hope to hear the lion voice of John
Brough before the campaign is over, urg-
ing forward the hosts of freedom.
