OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

+ Tic opponents OF slavery extension had good
time at Belierille on Saturday last. Several
thousand people were present, and the liveliest
enthusiasm prevailed. Speeches were made by
Col. Bissell, Lieut. Gov. Knrner, ID. Hertle, ESQ.,,
of the Chicago Stats Zeitnng, 7. S. Rutherford
and Judge Underwood. Mr.. Hecker, State
Elector, was prevented by sickness from being
present. but he sent the following spiriteale letter
to the meeting:
10 the Committee Of tie Anti-Nc5raska Ratif-
cotton Meeting IN Be}ferikic:
RESPECTED SIRs:-I request you to read to the
meeting, which is to assemble, the following
words:
If the condition OF my health were such as to
permit me to be transported, would have N.Y.
self carried to Belevie; anticipating, as do,
that band of desperate Nebraska knights will
endeayor to make use of the fact OF my absence,
in manner SO particularly their own.
Let all such know that as soon us l shall be
able barely to stand up, even if my health be
not fully restored will speak to the people of
st. Clair and the adjoining counties on the great
question of the day; and that will endeavor
to show how the honor of the German name
and the German nation, how hatred against ars-
tocratic pretensions and tyranny, render it the
holy, the unavoidable duty OF every man of the
German tongue to enter the lists against slavery
and sla, eocracy; how only the mos, sophistcal,
and the most forced perverson Of the frcest
Constitution of the freeSt country can assert,
much to the rejoicing of all the oppressors and
despisers of men, that it establishes slavery as
the rule, and Freedom us the exception; how
those only maintain firmly and faithfully the
spirit and the letter of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution, who oppose
slavery and its extension, thus upholding this
Constitution spotless blessed gospel for all the
oppressed and enslaved nations of the earth,
and carrying its banner without a stainover all
the globe. Desiring you TO consider me as vo.
ting with those who endorse the Philadelphia
platform, and the ticket nominatedupon it, and
no less with those who support the resolutions
adopted at the Bloomington State Convention,
and the State ticket, sign myself
Yours respectfully,

Trrom Col. norry's life of Gen. Marson.,l

south Carolina in the Revolution.
When the war broke out you heard of no d.
vision in New England, no toryisu nor any of
its horrid effects; 10 houses in flames, kinded
by the hands of fellow citizens; no neighbors
plundering their property, carrying off their
stock, and aiding the British in the cursed work
of American murder and subjugaton. But on
the contrary, with minds well informed of their
rights, and hearts glowing with love for them
selves and posterity, they rose up against the
enemy. firm and united, us band of shepherds
against the ravening wolves.
And their valer in the field gave glorious proof
OF how men will fight when they know their all
is at stake. See Major Pitcairn, on the memo
rable 18th of April, l515, marching from Bos-
ton, with one thousand British regulars, TO
burn the American stores at Concord Though
this heroic excursion was commenced undcreoy-
er OF night the farmers soon took the alarm,
and gathering around them with their fowling
pieces. presently knocked down one fourth oil
their number; and caused the rest to run, as if,
like the swine in the gospel, they had iegios
Of dspiis at their backs. =
Now, with sorrosful eyes, let us turn to our
own State, where no pains were ever taken to
eniighten the minds of the poor. There we have
seen people rs brave as New Englanders, for
mere lack Of knoeiedge Of their biessiass pos-
sessed or Aefr dangsrs threatened, suffered Lord

The PRocssp,ses AGAINST GoyrRson RrEpr,

The PROCEEDINGS AGAINST Governor REEDER
1t is said that a warrant for Governor Reed
er's arrest has arrived at Washington, and that
'ifhe shows himself there he will be made pris-
oner and carried back to Kansas to take his
trial before the excellent and impartial Judge
Lecompte, the Jefreys of the territorial tribun-
ais. This is supererogation of oppression. 1t
strikes us that it is quite enough to keep Gov.
Reeder out of the territory, for the purpose of
depriving the inhabitants of the benefit of his
counsels and his experience as public man, and
that it is an act Of superfuous terocity to hunt
him elsewhere, as the police would hunt a felon.
Probably, however, the design of those who di-
rect these proceedings is not merely to drive him
from Kansas, but to make an example of him, to
the terror OF all who may take the part of the
people against the slave-drivers.
II is worthy Of remark that they have not
sought to arrest Governor Reeder at Easton,
among his old neighbors, or at Boston, or at
New York. The reason, doubtless, is, that the
attempt to arrest him in either of those places
would doubtless lead to an unpleasant popular
excitement, while at Washington he might be
seized and sent off to the West without any dan
ger of disturbance, either at the seat Of govern
maent or on the way TO Leeompton.-N. Y. Eve.

THAT SwoRD.-The Charleston Mercury has
not always been blind 10 the merits of Colonel
Fremont, as the following will show. The SYM
pathy therein expressed was timely--tbe claim
made fos the people of Charleston as particpators
by right in his fame was just--,he presentation
to him by the citizens of Charleston was appro-
propriate--and the participation of the Ladies of
Charleston in the presentation only clinches the
performance as one highly merited.
The Charleston Mercury of the oath septem-
Der, lS47, says: s.a

rendered doubly poignant by his deep disap.
pointment in not receiving her parting look of
recognition, after his long and eventful absence,
he has the sympathy of our entire community.
The marked and brilliant career of Col FIRE.
mont has arrested general attention and admira-
ton, and has been watched with lively interest
by his tel!ow-citizens of South Carolina
Charleston particularly is proud of him and the
reputation which he has at SO early an age
achieved for himself She claims it as something
in which she too has share. But for the mel
ancholy circumstances attending his visit, our
city would have manifested by suitable demon
stration their respect for him, and their con-
tinued confidence in his honor and integrity.
1t will require something more than mere accu-
sation to sully them in the minds of the people
OF Charleston. Some months since sword was
voted to him by our citizens, the individual sub
scription to which was limited to 81; it now
awaits his acceptance at a suitable opportunity.
We are happy to learn that the ladies of Charles
ton propose, by similar subscription, to iurn-
ish an appropriate belt to accompany the sword,
an evidence that they too can appreciate tue
gailantry and heroism which have SO signaliy
marked his career and have thrown an air of
romance over the usually dry detail of scientific
pursuits.

The SouTH.-Intelligent conservative men in
the Southern States are fully aware OF the dan
ger which would result from the success of the
Democratic party in the coming Presidential
election. They know that the Pierce and Doug
las policy has convulsed the country from one
end to the other. They know that that policy,
with flibusterism added, is embodied in the plat
form for which Buchanan has xchanged his in
diriduality, and they say fthat policy is sustain
ed by the popular vote in November, the effect
must be to nfame existing animosty one
they say, who should attempt to put out fire
by heaping on fuel, would be regarded as mad
man, and yet the Democracy indulge in the SIN
gu!ar haucination of believing that the endorse
ment of measures which have already shaken
the Republic from centre to circumference, is
the true method Of bringing to condition of
repose the conflicting elements,-Butfalo .Adver-
