Are the BUCCANEERS not the disunion par
ty?-PIymouH Bonner
All that is necessary in order to show
who the disunion party is, is to quote :
few extracts from some of the prominent
leaders Of the republican party:
i look forward to the day when there
shall be a sergile mSurrection in the South
when the black man armed with E.uisL
boyonets and led Oh by British officers, shall
assert his freedom, and wage war Of cx-
termination against his master, and when
the torch Of tie mcendioyy shall Egh ul
Ute tooe"s and cities Of tie South, and blot
out the last vesiige of slavery: and though
| may not mock at their calamity. no,
laugh when their fear cometh, yet | will
hail it as the dawn Of political millenni-
um. '-Joshua Il. Giddings.
There is higher law than the Consti-
tuition which regulates our authority ovel
the domain. 1t slavery can be abolished
and you and ! must do it,
Correct your own error that slavery
has any constitutional guarantees which
may not be released, and ought to be re-
linquished. You will soon bring the
parties of the country into an efectuai az
gression upon slovery.- Wm. H. Seword
The whig party is not only dead, but
sinks.--B. +. Wade
am willing under a certain state of cir
cumstances to let tie Union siide.-N. II
Banks.
Sharpe's Rifles are better than Bibles
II. Ward Beecher
As soon as war in Kansas becomes in
evitable, as it will be when it is decided
that the present policy towards that terri
tory Is TO be continued, we should all eoyu
estlyt turn orr attention. 10 disuaion Rey
" ID. Conway
In the case of the alternative being pre.
scented of the continuance of slavery or =
dissolution Of the Union, i nm for disso-
tuition anil Icare not ho,c quich comes
Ruyus II. Spauldihg.
On the action of this convention de-
ponds the fate of the country; if the re-
pubicans fail at the ballot box we will be
forced to drive back the saveocracy with
fire and sword.--Gen H. W. Uebb.
The times demand and we must have an
ti-slavery constitution, an anti slavery
Bible and an anti-slayery God.--A.BW.

The Banner of last week, in speaking
of the Democratic Senatorial Convention,
at this place, says: We have heard the
number in attendance variously estimated
at from two to three hundred, all told The
procession, which doubtless embraced all
the BUCCANEERS who could be scared up,
contained about two hundred persons, one
third of whom at least, were boys The
editor is in trouble, because he knows the
Senatorial Convention of the democrats, in
which four counties were represented, was
as large as the fusion Congressional Con-
vehtion, at this place, in which thirteen
counties were represented.
The fusion Congressional Convention
was composed of children, boys, gills and
women, and tlro niqqers, the whole process
ion numbering something short of 400
{ all told The editor of the Banner did
not count them, but has come to the con-
clusion that there was about a Mousand,

er low estimate, and puts it at t,co thou

1t is useless TO add more extracts, as
the tone of the republican Press in gener-
al go to show that the republican party are
in favor of the dissolution of the Union,
and our friend of the Banner ought not to
deny it, when HORACE GREEDY. the great
modern champion Of republican principles,

They were Accommodated.

Mr.. EDlroR:-The fusion black repub-
licans of Stark county, gave notice that
there would be public speaking at Knox,
on Saturday, and were very anxious that
the Democrats should get up some opposi-
ton. 4. DAGGY, of Putnam county, and
Dr.. DAGGY, to be the speakers 1t so hap
pened that JOHN G. OSBORNE, Esq. of
Plymouth, was present, and by the solicit
alton of the Democrats, he concluded to
accommodate them After an understand
ing was had, \. DAGGY, led off in lengthy
speech, after which, Mr. OSBORNE follow
ed, and did credit to himself, his friends,
and the Democratic party. Never was a
man SO eflcctually used up as was the
speaker from Putnam; and to the NORTH
cation of his party, the Reverend DR.. con-
cluded that there was other business to at
tend to, and did not reply. About 8 O'Clock
at night, when their opponent was proba-
bly, in Plymouth, the courthouse was light
ed up, and the republicans, that were not
in bed, and Glanced to see the light, as
sembled. Dr. d. threw his coat to thrash
the man that beat lis brother. For his
seconds, he chose his friend LINDSAY, Of
San Pierre, and y. p. CARROLL, Of Knox,
and they were replied to by w. NJ. McCoR-
MICK and 5. \. MCCRAcKIx. L. S. COLE
rushed in TO the rescue of his dear negro
loving friends. We hope they are satisfied
with their opposition, and we can satisfy
them in November. We pledge our coun-
ty for OSBORNE and all the ticket, in Oc:o-
Der, with good majorilies \ few more re-
publican speeches, with such opposition,
will greatly swell our ranks. We hear
of many who intended to vote for Fremont,
now say they Will not.
