SECTIONAL PARTIES. With hardlya prob.
ability left, that Buchanan will get single
State, except the Slave, and these only on
the sectional issue of extending Slavery,
the Democrat hts tho unparalleled impu.
dence to talk OF the sectionalism of the Re
publican party. The Republican party has
most solemnly declared that "the Union
MUST and SHALL be preserved" If the men,
with whom the Democrat is acting, have the
courage to resist, simply because Congress
refuses to give sanction to the extension OF
Slavery, they will receive traitors reward.
Does it not look well for tho Democrat,
when cooperating with men like Jefferson
Davis, Gov. Quitman, Fitzpatrick, and 9TH
or notorious disunionists, men who glory in
preaching disunion doctrines, to talk of the
success of Fremont as putting san end to
the glory and existence Of this Republic
In league with Catalines, it has the audac-
ity to speak of its friendship of the Consti.
tuition and the Union.

" FrOm letter just received in this city
from Blanton's Bridge, Kansas, under date
OF July 1, we learn that Col. ropliGc, for
merly Of this city, and once an officer Of the
Mechanic Ride Company, was Eortally
wounded on the night OF the 3Oth Of June.
while defending himself against guerilla
party Of Georgians, who ordered him to dis
mount and give up his pistols and horsc,
which he refused 10 DO. After lac was shot,
one Of the party pulled him from his horse,
and Others rushing upon him. stamped
upon him, and did not leave him until
they saw he was senselcss. as they sup
posed. Soon after they had gone he arOse,
and the blood-thirsty scoundrels, seeing he
had arisen, turned and fired again, and one
ball took easct in his right shoulder, which
it is supposed will prove fatal. Tho letter
states that Col. L. is now in deranged

is every where, wherever the Shareholder
may chose to bring his Slaves, and Senator
Toombs may put in execution to-day his
threat Of calling the roll Of his Slaves un-
der the shadow Of the monument on Bunker
Hill, and the territories are at this moment
Slave territories, for over them, rs well as
over the monument on Bunker Hill, floats
the flag Of our country.
Again he says:
The domestic slavery neither enieebles nor
deteriontes our race that il is not incon-
sistcnt with the highest Advancement OF
man and society, is the lesson taught by all
ancient and confirmed by all modern history.
OF course, notwithstanding all the facts
developed by the census are against Mr..
Toombs, showing that the slaveholding
States are bitterly cursed-by the existence of
the institution, Mr.. Toombs starting on
the principle that Slavery "neithcr enfeebles
nor deteriorates our race" goes in for its
expansion, and Mr.. Fuller sends his lecture
in great numbers among men who are OPP
posed to the extension of Slavery, to subdue
their prcjudiccs, and lead them to drop their
opposition to its extension.
We give another extract, and the closing
sentence of Mr.. Toombs' lecture.
''Its political wisdom 1.-THE system Of Slav-
cry, is indicated in its effects on society !;
its morality by the practices Of the pat
riarchs and the teachings of the apostles -
we submit il to the judgment Of mankind,
with the firm convection that the adoption
Of no other system under our circumstances
would have exhibited the individual man,
bond or free, in higher development, or
society in n happier civilization.
One of Mr.. Toomb's propositions in this
lecture is contained in this extract:
Expansion is as necessary to the increas-
cd comforts of the slave, as to the prosperi-
ty Of the MASTER"
And Mr.. Fuller representative from the
Free States, elected to Congress after having
let il be understood that he should oppose
the extension Of slavery, sends under his
frank, documents fayoring its extension, Civ
ing reasons therefor, and classifying the truths
Of history, and containing statements re-
specting the prosperity of the slayeholding
States, all Of which are negativcd by the
facts, spread out in the census Of the Unit
ed States. Verify Mr.. Fuller is engaged in
u humiliating business, and one that he will
find a. improbable in its results, as it de-
grading to HIM. The people of Maine while
they will do nothing to interfere with the
rights of the Shareholders as they exist in
the States, will never be guilty of aiding in
spreading it into the territories. There will
be no Fcllers in the next Congress.

The WEEKLY Day Book, New York, is q

Our readers have learned, from some er-
tracts from this Day Book, 80 cordially ap-
proved by the Democrat, the character ofthis

advocates the system Of Slavery, md de-

him to insult the common sense Of the peo-
pie by denying that the democratic party is
not in favor of the extension of Slavery

ness foreign to the Democrat, declares
"That " Slavery" negro siar1y and ne

Hon. T. j. D. Fuller & Senator TOCmbs'
Leeture.

Hon. T. j. D. Fuller OF this State, is the
only Buchanan man in Congress from New
England. Originally opposed to the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise, and the NOV
err in the House Of the proposition to allow
the territorial legislatures to exclude Slavery,
which was defeated by the SlavcOcracy, he
has Of late manifested most painful sub
sorvicncy to the SlavcOcracy. There isnoth.
ing which they can impose upon him but he
seems willing to do. First going with the
South against enquiry into the murder Of
Kcating, the Irish waiter at Williard's, by
his Democratic brother in Congress, Herbert,
then doiging the vote on the admission OF
Kansas, we find him now engaged in the
HcrculCan task Of convincing the people of
this State that Slavery is benign, ciyiliz-
ing, and Christian institution. This he is
cndeavosins to DO by sending broadcast over
the State, ToOmbs' pro-Slavery lecture de-
liyercd in Boston last winter. large num-
bcTs OF this lecture have been sent by him
to this section, franked by him in blank, in
packages Of fifty or hundreds, to DO distrib-
uted by the party man to whom the pack
ages are addressed. The object Of the cir
culation Of this lecture is obvious. Fuller
secs that the party has been driven to Pro-
Slavery ground, and knowing that IL Bueh-
anan is elected, Slavery will be extended in
to Kansas, he is early at work to bring the
Democratic masses at the North into the
support Of Slavery, and as an aid in the
matter, he sends this lecture Of Toombs,
which abounds in fllsifcaticns of history,
OF facts, and spCcious argu-
mcnts in favor OF Slavery over the country.
A copy Of this lecture, frankOd by Mr..
Fuller in blank. has found its way into our
hands, and we need give only an extract or
two from il to show the character of the
lliment which Mr.. Fuller Is sending, in car
ryng out his hopeless endcavOr to pOllute
the sentiment Of the industrial classes Of the
North.
Ono of his propositions is contained in
the following extract.
al shall cndcavor to show that Congress
has no power to limit, restrain, or in any
manner to impair slavery; but on the con-
trary, Il is bound to protect and maintain il
in the States where il exists. and wherever
its tiaS floats, its jurisdiction is paramount"
This Wholesale committing Of the Federal
Government, to protect and maintain Slav-
cry, not only IN ihe SAFES 'eiere il crisis, but
'rhersrr lis fsg floats, may suit Mr.. Fuller's
ideas, bat il viii DO long time before he
can make the people Of this State believe
that it is bound to maintain it in the terri |
tories. If this proposition is true, Slavery !

any that have heard of during the Kansas

formerly Of Ohio, residing ON PotSwatomie

standing that he would be back in four days
during the first day of his absence, two
men came TO his house and inquired for
him: finding that hc was not at home, they
lct, saying that they would call wh.n he
returned, his wife inviting them 10 do -,
stating that Lc would hc at homo in day
or two. About ten clock that night, after
the family had retired, knock was heard
at the door; Mrs. Richards asked what was
wanted; the reply was, "wc want to SEQ
Nr. Richards" She replied that he was
not at home. They then demanded Mrs.
Richards to open the door. lie is Cd

again replied, " he is not gt home, and ~
fused TO open the door. TWAS then broken
open, and seven or eight men entered the
room and commenced searching it for Rich

Not finding him, they accus1dMrs. Rich
ards and her daughter, an intelligent young
lady OF about ID years Of age, OF sccrcting
him. The ladies, completely bcwIldcrcd
with terror, protested that they had told
the truth, and that they had not sccrctcl
him-that he was really gone to Westport.
One of the men then replied, "Then, Cd
d-n you, we want YOU" and dragged the
daughter from the bed, and from the house
into the bushes close by, and there proceed
ed deliberately to violate her person. Her
mother, Mrs. Richards. was treated in the
same manner, and both left for dead. How
long they remained in the bushes, they were
unable 90 tell. but she managed, finally, TO
reach the house, where they were found by
one of the ncigbors the next morning. who
after providing for thcir personal comfort,
Immediately started 10 raise company to
pursue the villains.
In an hour, n company Of terribly excited
men were raised, numbering about thirty,
who, under command of Mr.. Smith, started
ON the trail. They traced them 10 a camp
which contained about one hundred men,
situated in docp rlvine, some distance
from the Creek. Finding that they We're
not strong enough to fight, some ct the COM
pany started for assistance, while Others ~

watchers were, however, unfortunately dis

by the time their comrades returned, the
camp had been moved, and the ruliians IS

throughout the Territory, and IS almost too

~ We have slightly panphrascd, and
thereby greatly improved, a little editorial
recently used by the Augusta Age, and put
tho same to more decent service than it
performed when made to do the dirty work
Of introducing as mean humbug rs ever
was got up by desperate and despairing poll
ticians. The Age owes us its thanks for al
lowing it to do respectable work, and we
claim, as friend to the Constitution and
the Union, and as remuneration for the
service we have done the Age in appropriate
ing its editorial, that it copy our illustra'
tons of democratic notions Of saving the
Union, into its columns Immediately. The
Union must be saved at all hazards, and as
here is n matter in which we can all work
together, all must lend helping hand
Should the Age refuse our modest request
we shall be obliged to think 1t under the in.

tary of War, JkrrrRsoS DAVIS, who is
threatening to withdraw the Army Con-
tracts, if it shout continue to save the Un-
ion, If not this, II is fearful that 1t may be
arraigned for constructive treason before
Judge Shackley, the disunion Judge of the
U. S. Supreme Court, appointed by Pierce,
sometime since. We are bound to help save
the Union for several reasons, and especially
because Fremont is going to be elected Presi-
dent, and we want him, If McMullin, Shor-
ter, Boyce, Kcitt and their Buchanan con.
fedemtes, including the members of the Mis-
sissippi Democratic Convention, conclude to
fight, to do by them as jackson wanted to
do by Calhoun and his followers in nulliii-
cation times-make an example of them by
bringing them into an intimate and loving
acquaintance with hemp. Fremont most sure
ly would do this if they rcsorted TO MEASURES
