The MEETING here Wednesday, was
successful one. A person who witness
ed both, says in point of numbers, there
were more than three times as many as
at the joint meeting of Chang and Eng
last week. Still, the wca her being fine
and so many mere busy in getting their
hay that it was not SO large as it would,
and ought to have been All the voters
Of the County ought to have heard the
speeches made during the day and eve

The following paragraph comes from
The Mobile ALA. Advertiser, a Fill
more paper:
"Well might the delegate in the late
Black Republican Convention, at Phila-
delphia, urge that so rapid would be the
spread Of Republican doctrines that in
four years they could, with IMMUNITY,
h old their Convention in Richmond or
Lexington. If he had known how many
Black Republicans there were in this
State and community, he might have
moved to adjourn the Convention to
meet in 1860 at Montgomery. There
are men here in Alabama. and in this
county, who are not ashamed to own a
preference to Fremont, or any other Abo-
litionist, to Buchanan. How can the
South ever expect to maintain her self
respect, or obtain her just rights, if she
even enaures such persons on her soil,
much less permits them to occupy inau-
entail positions within her borders -

Civil War in Nebraska.

Civil War in Nebraska.
We have startling intelligence from
Southern Nebraska. The Border Ruff
fans, from Missouri, have invaded the
Territory, and, up to Sunday, had arriv-
ed within 20 miles of Nebraska city,
They are over one thousand strong, are
composed of Missourians, South Caroli-
ans and Georgians, and are fully armed
with cannon, &c, prepared for war;
Their object is to stop he Free State set
tiers on their way to Kansas, through
the Territory.
The news of this invasion reached Ne
oraska City on Saturday, and caused
great excitement. About $50 men i'm
r'cdiatcly volunteered to go to the as.
sistance of the Free State settlers, and
messengers were despatched to learn the
true state of affairs. Some so men were
also raised to so to the aid of the Border
Rutfians.
We gather the above facts from pas
sengers who arrived in the stage on Sun
day evening, and we presume they are
IN the main correct. Persons from Kan
sas, by the same arrival, also report a
most disastrous state of affairs in the ter
rtory. The Free State men are every
where being driven from their dwellings.
and compelled to leave the territory
Inc Pro-Slavery party seem to be deter
mined now to make clean work of it and
drive every Northern man out of Kansas.
\ SECTIONAL BUCHANIER FLAG =
The Rutfian Buchanicr presses have pror-
ed that the Republican Party is disunion
and sectional from the fact that some
where in Oxford County the Republicans
raised flag that had not SO many stars
on 1t as there are States in the Union
FMS fact Is relied upon by the Bucks
throughout the Union as proof positive
OF the sectionalism ofthe Republican Par

Now We have an Offset this. We have
similar proof that the Pierce Buchanan
Party is also sectional. Unfortunately
tor them it is not the only proof of their
sec:lonallsm In Rockland we are told

starS, and the names of Buchanan and
