Swindling Operations.

Mr.. William E. Arnold, of Toledo, Ohio, well
known as an extensive manufacturer of the
"Pherix Sash Locks" represents, through the
Toledo Blade, that a man named w. s. Manches-
ter, has been. operating in this city in mamie,
wholly unauthorized, and swindling unsuspectil,g
persons out of various amounts of money.
It appears that Manchester wrote to Mr.. Arnold
for an ag ency, and dire:ted the proper papers to
be sent to him at St. Paul. As he complied with
the conditions, the authority of an agent was
sent as equested. This he failed to receive, as
he said, and duplicate was sent to him at Chi
cago. eantime he had been procuring orders
and forw arding them. Mr.. Arnold soon learned
that Mani chester was engaged in selling agencies,
as well as rights to certain territory, and retain
ing the me ney for his own use. A copy of his
Power of Attorney has been forwarded to Mr..
Arnold, ard it is an entire forgery, as he has
never execu ted such paper to any agent what
ever. 1t is dated in the city of Toledo, and pur-
ports to have been drawn up by &c j. B. Foster,
Attorney" The Blade says there is no such At
torney there, and pronounces the whole thing a
swinde got up by Manchester, whose wherea-
bouts, ut pr es ent, is unknown.

Unmasking. Read Read.

1t was early the policy of slaveholding politi-
clans to secure the support of the laborng masses
of the North by representing themselves as the
peculiar friends of the poor man. and his special
champions against the aristocracy and monied in
fuence of Northern employers. Hence the blind
adhesion to the party and measures wearing the
charmed name democracy" Thanks, however,
to the wide prevalence of cheap printing and free
schools, the working men Of the North are ena-
bed to read, think and vote for themselves with
out further assistance. Enlightened as they are
everywhere becoming, they cannot fail to discover
the fraud attempted to be practiced upon them.
Failing in their arts, the slave-drivers are fast
dofing their masks and disclosing to US what we
may expect when they obtain complete control of
affairs. Let the free people of the North who are
striving for an honest support of themselves and
at the South say of them
The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Douglas
and Buchanan organ at the South, holds the fol-
lowing language:
Repeatedly have we asked the North, HAS not
the experiment of universal liberty failed? Are
not the evils of free society nsufferable? and do
vert it? Still no answer. The gloomy silence is
another conclusive proof, added to many other
evidences we have furnished, that free society in
the long run is an impracticable form of society:
it is everywhere starving, demoralized, and in
surrectionary. We repeat, then, that policy and
humanity alike forbid the extension Of the evils
of free society to new people ond coming gene
rations. Two opposite and conflicting forms of
society cannot, among civilized men, co-exist and
endure. The one must give away and cease to
exist, the other become universal. If free socie-
ty be unnatural immoral and unchristian, it must
fall and give way to slave society," system as
old as the world, universal as man,
The Muscogee, Alabama Herald, another Bu-
chanan paper, says:
Stree society we sicken of the name. What
is 1T but conglomeration of greasy mechanics,
filthy operatives, small listed farmers, and moon
struck theorists? All the Northern, and espe-
cially the New England States, are devoid of So
ciety fitted for well bred gentlemen. The pre-
vailing class one meets is that of mechanics,
struggling to be genteel, and small farmers who
do their own drudgery; and yet who are hardly
fit for associating with a Southern gentleman:s
body servant. This is your free society which
the Northern hordes are endeavoring to extend

1t Won't Win, Gentle men.

The Fillmore and Buchanan press have been
assiduously engaged ever since Fremont's nomi-
nation, in fastening Catholicism upon him; yet
1t is fact, worthy of note, that the whole Irish
population, who arc almost universally Catholics,
are opposed to Fremont to man. If Fremont is
a Catholic and Jesuit, as represented by the
opposition press, it is not little remarkable
that the whole Church-or at least the Irish por-
ton of it-should be arrayed in deadly hostility
against him. The truth is, the charge of Cathol-
icism against Fremont is false, and would never
have been made, had there not been an American
or Know Nothing party to truckle to for votes.

Great Republican Rally at Pittsdurs h.

An immense Fremont Convention was held at
Pittsburgh on the 18th inst, which is represented
by the Gazette as being the greatest political
meeting of the people ever held in Western Penn
sylvania, and probably the largest ever held in
the State. The procession, according to the re-
ports, must have been magnif cent, the length of
which can be imagined from the fact that it was
nearly three hours passing designated point, its
march being at about the rate of three miles an
hour. This would make it from eight to nine
miles long! Over seventeen hundred horses, and
about four hundred wagons and vehicles of all
kinds followed in its train. Nearly every profess
sion, art, trade and employment were represent
ed. These are the kind of popular demonstra-
tons daily transpiring in the east.

The New York American Celt asserts positively,
that there is regular bargain entered into in that
state between the supporters Of Mr.. Fillmore and
Mr.. Buchanan. 1t says:
'The Know Nothings are to cast their votes for
the Buchanan electoral ticket, thus securing the
State for Buchanan, while the Democrats, as far
rs practicable, are to transfer their vote to the
Know Nothing State ticket, with Erastus Brooks

REMARKABLE COURAGE AND PRESENCE OF MIND.
The Hudson Star relates the following case Of
remarkable courage and presence of mind on the
part Of a boy The lad was employed ia sub
ordinate capacity about the engine house of the
Housatonic K. R. at West Stockbridge, ard, on
Saturday, undertook to adjust switch for train
being driven by one of the fremen. By some
means his foot got caught in some portion of
the track and before he could extricate it the To-
connective crossed over and crushed it almos
entirely off below the ankle. The fireman was
so much alarmed that he sprang from the engine
without shutting off the steam and ran for a
physician. Seeing the train moving on with
no one to direct it, the injured boy got up on one
foot and dragged the mangled remains of the
other till he reached the locomotive, and then
crawed aboard, shut off the steam, made all Sc
cure and sat down, where he was found greatly
to the surprise of the fireman. Ether was ad-
ministered at once and the foot amputated before
he was conscious of the fact. He is now doing
well. We regret that our informant could not
give the name of this noble fellow. Such cases
of hcroism are rare. He should have premium.
His parents reside in West Stockbrdge.
