MIR. FiIImore,s Position Defined

The Hon. Charles Ready, Fillmore
Representative from Tennessee, in letter
to his constituents, thus defines the position
of Mr.. Fillmore on the question of restor-
ing the Missouri Compromise:
sit is true, Mr.. Fillmore was opposed to
the repeal of the Missouri restriction; and
some, it may be many, of his supporters,
were also opposed to it. Therein, there was
difference of opinion between US. But it
was question ON which and my political
party in Congress, when it was acted on,
felt and agreed we might differ, without
interfering with our political relations. The
Washington Union, the metropolitan organ
of the Democratic party, announced, about
the same time, that supporting or opposing
tho measures could not be regarded as a
test of Democratic orthodoxy.
"But all those things are past. We
must look to the future. Will there, in the
future, be an issue between US? Is Mr..
Fillmore now, and will he hereafter be, in
favor of restoring the Missouri restriction? (?
He is knoUn to be opposed to agitation on
the subject Of .Slavery, and stands By the
eristing lars. Then, there is no political
issue between him and Mr. Buchanan. He
also holds to the right of the Territory to
admission into the Union, with a constitu-
ton prohibiting or establishing Slavery, as
the people may therein provide. In this,
we also agree with each other, and with
Mr.. Buchanan. Surely, then, l can sup
port him without any inconsistency or
change of political opinion"
After this exposition, let no Northern
friends of Mr.. Fillmore attempts to cheat
the people, in that quarter, into the belief
that Kansas would be safe in his hands,
Mr.. Ready declares that Mr.. Fillmore occu-
pies the identical ground with Mr.. Buchan-
an on that point, and that .here is no issue
between them and their friends. So say
all his Southern friends.

LEGmT IN 4 DARK PLACE.

The richest thing of the season is a speech
made by the Hon Gen. John L. Green, ESQ,
at Clyde, few days since. He informed
his hearers that Col. FRExoNr, paid the
whole expense of the Convention Of the 9Th
of August! that the Republicans of this
town were all 'short," and wholly unable to
meet the expense!l that in fact, his-(the
honorable Generals, not Col. Fremont's)-
endorsement was necessary to make their
paper current.!!
1t has been a vexed question in this COM
munity whether the editor of the Messenger,
or one of the Generals and ColoneIs of his
body-guard was entitled to be chief of fool
killers. That question may now be consid-
cred settled. The next time the honorable
General goes out buchaniering, we would
advise him to invest six-pence in copy
of Mother Goose. If his fund runs out he
can read from that entertaining work, and
it is our private opinion that his hearers
will be delighted with the change.

Washington, Aug. Is.
There was a meeting of the Cabinet this
afternoon. The following was decided upon
by the Presidential Proclamation.
WHEREAS, Hostilities exist with various
Indian tribes on the remote frontiers of the
United States, and whilst in other respects the
public peace is seriously threatened, Congress
has adjourned without granting the neces-
sary supplies for the army depriving the ex-
ecutive of the power to perform his duty in
relation to the common defence and security,
and as an extraordinary occasion has thus
arisen for assembling the houses of Con
gress, do therefore, by this proclamation,
convene the said Houses to meet at the
Capitol, in the City of Washington, on
Thursday the 2Ist of August, 1856, hereby
requiring the respective Senators and Rep
resentatives then and there to. assemble to
consult and determine on such measures as
the state of the Union may seem to require.
In testamony whereof, l have caused the
Seal of the United States to be hereunto
affixed, and signed with my hand. Done
at the City of Washington, the 18th day Of
August in the year of our Lord 1856
and of the Independence of the q. S., the
eighty-frst. FRANKLIN PIERCE.
By order of WIN. L. MARCY, Seey of State.

PUBLICATTON OF THE LAWS.

We understand that some of our locofoeo
stump orators, conspicuous among whom is
our Prosecuting Attorney, are very busy in
attempting to create the impression where
ever they go, that the laws which were pass
ed by the Legislature of last winter, are not
to be published until after the coming cleo
ton. Now, we would be very glad to have
these wiseacres inform US where they get
their data upon which te ground these as
sertions. We doubt not, however, that it is
in this case as in all others with them. If
the proper material for carrying on the war
fare is not at hand, they are very fertile in
manufacturing out of whole cloth, talsehOods
and reckless assertions sufficient to carry
out their base designs, and crafty their
great propensity for warning against truth
and right. The same spirit that causes
them to malign the pure and unsullied char
acter of our candidate for the presidency,
would prompt them to do any mean, con-
temptible act in order to effect their pur-
poses. Is the statement above referred to,
made through ignorance or through will
ful and malicious design to falsify? This
we wish to ascertain. The former is mex
cusable, the latter criminal.
Let US for moment consider the subject
The laws were put into the hands of dem
ocrat for publication. If said laws had con
tanned any provisions that were so odiou:
as to cause the makers thereof to wish tc
suppress them, would not this old "whee
horse" have displayed greater desire tt
lay them before the people than he has
done? 1t seems to US he would. And
then, again, the greater portion of the laws
have been published in the country paper;
of the state, (the papers of Sandusky coun
ty are the only EXCEPTIONS among them th'
great act to exempt bank capital from tax
alton, about which there is so much saiC
and written by our lOcofocO stumpers anC
editors. This being the case, we would asl
any candid man, if their actions do no
evince a disposition to blind the people a
to the true state of things, and that by thu
resorting to falsehoOd, they do not give con
elusive evidence of the unrighteousness G
their cause? We would not have notice,
this matter, coming from the source it does
had it not been that VIC feared if this assor
ton remained uneontradicted, it would b
believed by those who had not the mean
of knowing of its truth or falsity.

resolution in reference to the Pacific Rail
road. Gall the constitutional power Of the
government is to be exercised promptly for
the attainment of this object" But in the
beginning of this inestimable document it
was asserted that the general government
can have nothing to do with internal i'm
provements. This resolution, therefore,
means nothing at all; or rather it means
just this, that the democracy mean by this
catch penny bid to keep California in the
traces.

The slave-states of Kentucky, Missouri,

their lungs very much in growing over the
results. Let them exuItr the Republicans

Slavery cannot grow together. The exul
tations of the buchaniers viii be of short du-
ration. In November they will wall and

There being no honest principles for the.
black democracy to discuss, they can only
resort to faIsehood, and that too, of the most

an honest democrat from Clyde, that Green

Rg~ The intelligence from California, Is
most cheering; the announcement of Co. j.
c. Fremont's nomination for the Presiden-
cy, was received throughout the whole state,
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations
of joy. California will certainly cast her
four electoral votes for her noble advocate
FREMONT. He stood by her in her dark
hours, and her Frecmen are waiting to give
expression to their appreciation Of his ser
vices. This intelligence strikes horror into
the souls of the black democracy.

MASS CONVENTTONs.

Extensive preparations are being made
at Sandusky for the mass convention which
is to be held at that place on the 10th of
September. The speakers are not yet an
nounced, but The most talented and distin-
guished men of the republican cause will

by large delegation.
The republicans of Huron County, are
making preparations for large turn out on

man will be one of the speakers. There
has not been man who has stood up
more nobly, and battled with stronger arm
for the freedom of Kansas during this
session of Congress, than Mr.. Sherman
The trip from Fremont to NOrwalk by rail-
road will be nice one and We hope our
Fremont Club will take the matter into
consideration, and resolve to go up to this
meeting 800 or 400 strong.

l. Resolped, That there are questions
connected with the foreign policy of this
country which arc inferior to no domestic
question whatever. The time has come for
the people of the United States to declare
themselves in favor of free seas and pro-
gressivc free trade throughout the world,
and, by solemn manifestations, to place
their moral influence at the side of their
successful example.
2. Resolued, That our geographical and
political position with reference to the other
states of this continent, no less than the in
terests CT our own commerce and the deyel-
opment of our growing power, requires that
we should hold as sacred the principles III
volved in the Monroe doctrine: their bear
ing and import admit of no omisconstruction
they should be applied with unbending rig
idity.
8. Re8oIued That the great highway
which nature, as well as the assent Of the
states most Immediately interested in its
maintainance, has marked out for a free
communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, constitutes one of the most
important achievements realized by the spir-
( it of modern times, and the unconquerable
energy of our people. That result should
be secured by timely and efficient exer-
| ton of the control which we have the right
to claim over it, and no power on earth
should be suffered TO impede or clog its pro
gress by any interference with the relations
! it may suit our policy to establish between
our government and the government of the
states within whose dominion it lies. We
can under no circumstances, surrender oul
preponderanee in the adjustment Of al
questions arising out of it.
4. Resolved, That in view Of so com
manding an interest the people of the Uni
ted States can not but sympathise with the
efforts which arc being made by the people
Of Central America to regenerate that por
ton of the continent which covers the pass
ace across the Interoceanic Itshmus.
5. Resolued, That the democratic party
will expect of the next administration that
every proper effort be made to insure oul
as:endancy in the Gulf of Mexico, and t
maintain a permanent protection to thu
great outlets through which are emptlec
into its waters the products raised out o
the soil, and the commodities created by the

Startling Intelligence from Kansas.
ARotber Battle! E'rtensive Preparations
for Great Excitement.
Chicago, Aug. 10.

for Hostilities-G Great Excitement.
Chicago Aug. 10.
Startling news from Kansas is received,
this morning. The free state men discOv-
cred an organized plan of the miscreants
and border forces, who had concentrated
men, arms and ammunition at different points
Of the territory for the purpose of a sudden
and general attack, Immediately after the
adjournment of congress, thus to extermin-
ate or expel all free state settlers. Twelve
fortified block houses were erected at differ
ent pro-slavery points; one at atShawnee; one
at Ossawattomie; one at Franklin, DC, all
supplied with cannon, rifles and ammunition,
and were garrisoned principally by the mis-
sourians and by Buford's men. On the
night of Tuesday, the 18th, a company of
free state men attacked the fort at Frank
lin for the purpose of securing their arms,
anticipating an attack by the threatened
forces. TIE garrison being stronger than
was supposed, the fight lasted four hours.
One free state man was killed, and two Sc
riously wounded Three MiSsourians were
wounded, but none killed. The free state
men captured the block house, took one can
non, fifty stand of arms, mostly rifles, seized
at Lawrence in May. No other houses in
franklin were disturbed. The Missourians
returned to their large camp at Washington
Creek, southwest of Lawrence.
Intelligence reaches to Thursday, the
I4th. No other disturbance A compa-
ny of dragons occupied Franklin.
Wednesday morning.-The Leavenworth
Journal of the 14th contains flaming call
to arms. The border towns are greatly ex-
cited, and general mastering of Missouri
ans is demanded by the pro-slavery leaders
in the territory.
9P.M.
Additional intelligence from Kansas this
afternoon, states that before the attack on
the fortifcation at Franklin, the free state
mea applied to the military authorities for
dispersion of the same under Shannon's
proclamation, which was refused.
A large meeting was held at Kansas city
on the 10Th, when it was resolved to send
1000 men into the territory Immediately.
