Shall Tile Union BE Dissolved?-
This is the question the people will have
to decide at the coming election, as is
made manifest by the Intelligence con-

The Union Standardization,

out for Buchanan. In the last num-
Der of the Liberator he says:
eve dissent from the sentiment that
the disposition to divide the Union is
very slight now'-for it is widespread
and is growing stronger every hour, &
will undoubtedly be greatly increased
by the triumph of border rufiianism'
in the person of James Buchanan
There is strong grouhd for believing
that he will be the last President Of the
United States, in which case the jubi-
lee is not far distant.
The Vim. Lloyd Garrison who wrote
these lines, has been clamoring for 20
years for dissolution of the Union,
because the Constitution tolerates sla-
very, and behold he looks to the cleo
ton ofBuchanan as the certain means Of
accomplishing his darling object. lie
is too much Of an Abolitionist to sup
port Fremont, but not too much of a
one to hope for the election of Buch-

KANSAS INTELLIGENCE

A correspondent Of the ST. Louis Re-
publican. (pro-slavcry, writing from
Polmero, Kansas on the 22d ult, says !:
The mail carrier from Lecompton and
Lawrence, has just come IN, and reports
that he saw Col. Titus at the later place
lying upon bare floor, without the
comfort of mattress or a pillow, and
suffering extreme torture from several
bullet wounds, which it appeared would
terminate life in few hours.
Wo heard last night that General
Smith had sent out three companies to
protect the government properly atLe-
compton, and to afford a stronger guard
to the prisoners Out that he refuses to
take any measures to pitt down the dis.
turbances in the country, atId says the
militia may fight 1t out among Them
selves. This is rather a singular course
to be pursued in such crisis, and bring
upon General Smith some anathemas
from the staid, and law-abiding, peace
loving citizens, who will be thus be dri-
ven into battle, when the slightest eff.
fort ofproperly directed authority could
still the furious elements, and give qui.
ct to distracted and unhappy people.
The course has called Gen. Ricard.
son to the field, who ordered redez-
vous at Roniphah last night. The I'll.
gers, the Blues, the Walbena Guard,
and several othercompahie wereprohpt.

with rifles, musk ets, pistols and bowie.

cry well manned. They were to pro.

morning early. The number about FIVE
hundred active. brave and hardy from
tier men, who are fully equal to fifteen
hundred Of those who have never been
beyond the influence of cities and the
limits of populons communities.
The thousand conflicting and uncer-
tain rumors will now be resolved into
clear and authentic reports, as daily dis.
patches will reach us from head QUAR-.
| tiers.
Although so many are thus equipped
and on their way, to repel bloody inva.
sion, we have still greater numbers in re-
serve, who will march to the scene of
conflict at the shortest notice.
A despatch in the New York Timed
(anti.slavery,) dated at Chicago the 30th
uls., says:
BY the latest accounts wb learn tina,
three Thousand HISTORIANS are col.
lecled at Wesiport and Kansas City,
and it is expected they will march on

for me to say that he has lied on me.
Whether he has or not is altogether
immaterial to me. One thing, howev-

to the American party in Fairmont.
But that party will laugh at his folly
and spit upon his envy and malice.

it would have been the same in the

be that the above excuse is assigned to

"The Rude Boys'---A Poor Excuse
Better than Nona!

We stated the fact, last week, that
the County Court of Marion positively
refused to allow the American party to
hold meeting in the Court House on
Monday night of September term
The Fairmont V,yinian makes the
following very lame apology for the
Court aforesaid:
eve are sorry the court refused to
let the Know Nothings meet in the
Courthouse on Monday night. We
thought at the time, and said, that it
could not be for political reasons that
permission was not granted; and VIC
are glad to say that, although we still
think they ought to have had the use
of the courthouse, yet we are inform
cd that the like refusal would have
been the consequence even if Mr..
Clemens, had preferred q similar re-
quest, the court being Of opinion that
the rude boys of our town would proba-
bly, injure the windows, walls, and fur
niture of the room, if permitted to enter
it in a crowd at night"
, Bay@ Oh Bosh! The refusal was
understood to be based on political
grounds, and was so denounced by men
of both parties, to our knowledge, on
the spot. Mr.. Clemens so understood
it, else why did he 60 to Ellery r. Hall,
Esq, in the evening, when the stand
was being erected, and invite him to
60 with him (Clemens) and call on the
Justices to get them to reverse their
decision, and allow the Americans to
meet in the Courthouse! That Mr..
Clemens did call on Mr.. Hall with this
proposition, and that Mr.. ii. declined
it, after the fiat refusal he met from the
Court, will not be denied. Further, if
the Court had had reason for refusing
the house, even as lame as the one cited
by the Virginian, the Court would
most probably have assigned it. But
they said, "No you shan't have the
house - and the imperative Anglo
Saxon was unaccompanied With even an
attempt at explanation. Mr.. Clemens
understood the ground Of the refusal,
and estimated his influence at Court,
and saw the opprcssiveness Of the de-
cree of the Court, in the eyes Of the
people, when lie came, unsolicited, and
offered himself as mediator, to go With
Mr.. Hall to the lodgings Of the Honor
able Court, and get the house for the
American meeting!
AS to the "rude boys" Of Fairmont,
we have a word to say. During tho

THE WAR IN KANSAS.

LEcoMProN, KANSAS, Aug. 10. 1856.
Editor 1rse Thinking
your numerous readers would like to
hear true account of the late difficult.
ties which have occurred in our Terri.
tory within the last ten days, have
concluded 10 give an account of them
as they took place in my vicinity.
On the night Of the 1lth inst, the alb.
clifton party to the number of25O men
attacked tho town of Franklin, fifteen
miles below this place, and after one
hour and three quarters fighting, COM
PEELED the citizens to surrender. They
carried off all their arms, ammunition,
&C.. also feld-piece, -four FOUNDER, }
belonging to the jackson county Mo.
Volunteers who went out with Colonel
Doniphan. in the late Mexican war;
This piece was taken at the battle Of
Sacramento, N. NJ. You may expect
to hear from Col. Doniphan and men in
few days.
The abolitionists, elated with their
success in their attack on Franklin, de-
termined to try their hand on Lecomp.
ton, and accordingly on Saturday morn
ing 10Th inst, they took up their line
ofmarch for this place. Living near
the road within mile Of this place, was
Col. Tytus, Of Flor ida. The Colonel,
who is . strong pro slavery man, had
made himself very obnoxious TO the ab.
clifton party; consequently they were
determined to get rid of him first
They surrounded his house before he
was aware Of their approach. yet he
Was not altogether unprepared for such
a contingency. Having heard the day
before that it was their determination to
attack him, he had prevailed upon
some six or eight young men of Lecomp.
ton to go out with him, the night be,
foro. There were also some ten or
twelve Germans who had gone GU,
the night before on kind OF pleasure
expedition. These latter however were
SO much surprised that they never fired
gun consequently the fighting devol.
we'd upon eight men who held the
house against 430 men, with tho same
four pound piece that they had taken
at F,anklin.) for one hour, although
there was nothing to protect them but
tho logs of the house from the fire OF
both cannon and Shapes rifles, (Beech
ers' hi5les.) There was one Of oul
party killed. He was shot while get
ting into The house when the alarm was
frs. given. Col Tytus was severely
though not dangerously wounded. Al
80 Nj. Nj. Hosley, Of Georgia, was slight
ly wounded in the thigh. Having sue.
coded in capturing The party, they sci
to plundering the house, taking every.
thing ofValuc belonging thereto, and al
so taking $4,000 deposited with Col
Tytus by Capt. Rosser of Virginia
They then set fire to the building, and
Immediately retreated towards Law.

ON BOTH SIDES

DEMOCRACY SouTH.-The Vicks.
burg, Missouri, Sentinel, strong Blu
chan paper, says as follows:
wWe dare and defy any one to point
to single vote that Mr.. Buchanan
ever gave, during his Congressional
career, involving the question of slave
ry, that was not on the side of the
South, and opposed to the Abolition
lists"
DEMOCRACY NoRTm.-The Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, Post, also strong
for Buchanan, says:
"Mr. Buchanan never uttered a
sentence in defence of slavery, or
whispered word in favor of its exist
ence, or cast vote which any honest
man can construe into wish to support
the institution p
Democracy and ,Slarery Extension.
SOUTH.-The Richmond Enquirer,
of June II, 1856, says:
"The Democrats of the South, in
the pending canvass, cannot rely on the
old grounds of apology and excuse for
slavery: for they seek, not merely to
retain it where it is, but to estend 1t
into regions sohcrs 1t IS unknown.-
Much less, can they rely on the mere
constitutional guarantees Of slavery,
for such reliance is pregnant with the
admission that slavery is wrong, and
bnt Gov fbo cooOt;t,t ~, chonjl bo ,bo1
ished. e.. We know we utter bold
truths. But the time has arrived when
their utterance can be no longer sup
pressed. The true issue should stand
out in bold relief, so that none may
mistake it,
NORTH.-Thc Waynesburg, Penn
sylvania, Messenger of August 81,
1856, says;
"Our political opponents continue
to assert that the Democratic party Of
the North is in favor of the extension
Of Slavery. This they knov to be
false, else they are far more stupid and
ignorant than we take them to be-
BSA- These papers are both rcputed
orthodox Democratic Buchanan organs,
and claim for. themselves to be in the
support of the only National party in
the country. Now, it is just such dou-
bic dealing as is manifested above, that
has brought our country to the verge
of civil war. The Kansas Bill was by
these same Democrats held up to the
admiration of the two sections, through
the same Democratic spcctacles. Up
North it was measure for freedom
down South the very thing for slavery
extension. The people, bamboozled by
Democratic politicians, have gone to
Kansas from both sections, and what is
the result? THEY are settling the DIS
pute at the point Of the soOord!
