WHAT THEY SAY NoRTH.-Whilst the
opposition papers and leaders at the South
are trying to prove Dir. Fillmore an abo-
litionist, the Bllck Republican party at
the North are denouncing him as the
champion of slavery. Col WEBB, the
editor of the New York Courier and En-
quiirer, in noticing the course of the Amer
lean party in Congress, makes the follow
ing complaint:
''How stood the party on the vote last
week for admitting Kansas with her free
constitution? Not aman of them voted
in favor of the bill excepting Messrs. Mil
ward and Edie, of Pennsylvania. We
don't include Bayard Clarke of this State
for he is no longer Fillmore man.
Thus, it is seen, that on every ques-
ton touching the extension of Slavery in
the Territories, or its interests and credit
as an institution, the American party in
Congress, which now supports Mr.. Fill
more, are pro sLd0ery pdrty-as strong
ly and com pletely so as the Administra-
tion party itself"
''The fact as i,saisputable, that the sup
port Of III. Fillmore IS the support o.
Slapsry License and Propagandisns."
Is it not time when such charges are
made against Mr.. FILLMORE at the North
and every effort made there to defeat him on
the ground of his friendship for the South,
that every southerner should rally to his
support? At any rate, let US hear nc
more of his abolitionism.
Washington telegraph., 1856-08-20

The Kingston CTennessee) Gazette, a
democratic paper, speaks of Mr.. Fillmore
as. follows; with reference to Mr. Fill
more as man, it is undoubtedly the best
nomination the party could have made.
While he occupied the presidential chair,
he threw off all sectionalism and admins
tered the government in. accordance with
the provisions end spirit of the constitu-
ton, dealing out equal handed justice to
the north and to the south He exhibited
his nationality by warm and manly sup
port of the compromise measures This
was his duty; and for doing 1t he deserves
an approving concience and the reward
of duty well done.
Washington telegraph., 1856-08-20

CAyINa IN.-The tier of Mr.. Buchan-
an, accepting the nomi nation, but avowing
the squatter sovereignty doctrine, is very
annoying to the democracy. More than
one has declared emphatically in our hearing
that they will not support him. The fact
is, what little artificial enthusiasm was ex-
hibited at the first announcement of his
nomination has passed away. On the 9TH
er hand Fillmore's national and magnif-
cient letter and reception speeches, have
given new zeal to his friend and admirers
everywhere. A very quiet, but inteli-
gent and influential gentleman, who says
but little about politics, and who voted
against us in the last election, surprised,
us the other day by warmly assuring us,
that Fillmore was the man for the times
that the people would so decide. So mote
it be !-Nacom Messenger.

The Richmond Whig, of the LIST inst

J
says:
The Hon. Frank Granger, of N. York,
in avowing himself for Fillmore, utters
truth, which we believe is especially ap-
plicable to Virginia:
'If all the men in the Union who think
Mr.. Fillmore would make the best Presi-
dent, would vote for him, he would be
elected by an immense majority" -
We believe if this rule were to govern
in Virginia, that this State would give
"a. least 10000 majority for Fillmore
There are scores and hundreds and thou
sands of Democrats, who have every con-
fdence in Mr.. Fillmore's integrity, and
who regard him as far superior to either of
his competitors. Some of them will vote
for him-if all would act with equal in.
the majority of 20, 900 would
be a certainty. --.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-The
members of Congress are beginning to
think somewhat seriously of final ad-
journment in few days, fact that will,
no doubt, be hailed with satisfaction
throughout the country. The House, on
the 22d ult., amended and passed the
Senates resolution for the purpose, fixing
upon the 18th of August Subsequently
the Senate concurred with the action OF
the House, and the adjournment will ac-
cordingly take place on that day.

John Adams was at one time called

intending it, in fact among the most Of.
fcctual aiders and abettors of the wrong.
To all such men we have to say, if you
must have a revelation as to the re.
suit of this Kansas struggle, before you
can act, we do not expect you TO act at
all in this generation. If you have no
faith in the use of the legitimate means
for the accomplishment of a given result,
we cannot help you. We are not proph-
cts. We are not advised as the final is
sue of the contest. We think the iual
triumph of freedom depends mainly up
on the question, whether men Of your
stamp are few or many. All high and i'm
portaut results have been reached in this
worlds history, so far as We know, by
men who have been found strong, be-
cause they believed themselves strong
and who have succeeded, because they
have resolutely and confidently used the
appropriate methods Of success. There
can, however, be no question that the
North may completely triumph, if she

kind for settlers than the South, and she
has much more wealth and enterprise.
a disposition to use the occasion that is
offered as, i. all that is wanting to render
our success certain. To know how to
use occasions rightly, when they are Of
flrcd, and to seize upon them with con-
fdencc and courage, is the evidence Of
a people fitted by Providence to occupy
an important sphere in the worlds his.
tory. To fail to perceive or use such oc.
c%asions, is to fail ANONYMOUSLY, and the
a~vcnsing Nemesis Of the nations grants
no resurrection Of lost opportunities
We earnestly trust Vermont will be
found equal to the crisis III our public at
fairs, aud We are specially DESTROYS that
Middlebury should, in this cause, stand
among the foremos, of our towns. We
trust no class of men in this township
will miss the occasion. All are alike
interested. The issue at stake is no less
than the old issuc-of freedom or seryi.

HORRIBLE BARBAElTY- RENARKABLE
HERolsM OF A Box SEVEN YgARs OF AGE.
Under this heading the San Francisco
True Califoruiqn of June IA has the fol.
lowing narrative -
The L. s. sloopofwar Decatur, which
arrived in this port yesterday, has
brought intelligence of one of the mast
inhuman atrocities hat can be fount III
the annals Of Indian warfare. On the
morning of the Stu Of October, 1855,
while Mr.. Harvey II. Jones, a settler on
the banks of the White River, in Wash
ingtou Territory, was lying sick in his
bed. a party of Indians commenced firing
on bis house, and killed Mr.. Jones at
the first yolley. Mrs. Jones who was
eating breakfast at the time Of the as
sault, Immediately returned the fire of
the Indians with a navy revolver, and
after having succeeded in w%ounding ono
of them on tie foot, was herself shot in
the side. aud thereby disabled from ma
King any further resistance. immedl-
ateiy upon her ceasiug to fire upon them,
the Indians approached and set fire to
the house.
At this juncture, a lad named John
j. King. who is a child Of Mrs. Jones
by a former marriage. and but seven
years of age, inquired of his mother
what he should do. She directed him
to take his brother aud sister, the former
two, and the latter four years old-and
endeavor to find shelter in the house OF
Mr.. Thomas, who resided two miles
distant. The little fellow Immediately
complied with the request OF his mother,
taking the infant on his back and his sis
ter by the hand, aud although au Indian
had exploded four caps in eudeayoring
to shoot him, and was only prevented
