Is NOT JAMES BUCHANAN A GOOD FINANCIER
Previous to the Both of June, 1855, Minis
ters to foreign countries received an outfit Of
$4,000, yearly salary Of $4,000, and an Unfit
of $500. Under this law, if a Minister re-
mained but week at a foreign Court over a
year, he received two years pay in other
words, for the least fraction of year he al
ways received pay for full year. Mr.. BU-
cHAxAN went out Minister to England in May,
1858. At the session of1854-5, Congress
passed new Diplomatic and Consular bill,
raising the salary of a Minister to England
to $l6, 500 year The act went into opera
ton on 30th day of June, 1855. Upon that
day Mr.. BUCHANAN had been two years and
about two months in England, and as this was
a fraction over two years, Mr.. BUCHANAN
pocketed $1,000 dollars, or the pay of three
years at $4,000 per annum, although he had
served but two years and about two months.
Nor is this ALL Mr.. BUCHANAN left England
in April, 1856, nine months after the new Di-
plomatc and Consular law went into opera
ton, and yet he pocketed seventeen thousand
five hundred dollars for only nine months SER

ELOQUENT PAssAGE.--Senator Wilson, of
Mass made an eloquent speech before the
working men Of NewYork Saturday evening.
We give single pa agraph -
And these same men threaten that if We
elect John c. Fremont, the man who has pro-
claimed free labor to be the bulwark of free
institutions-they threaten that the Union of
these States shall be dissolved, and the Go
vernment broken up and scattered to the four
winds He would tell these men that if Ere
mont were elected-as he believed he would
be-(loud and continuous heersI-that Sla-
very should not advance single inch further
on the North American continent. live place
as We mean to place, the reins Of Government
in the hands of John G.. Fremont, we make
proclamation to the country and the world,
that Slavery shall be blotted from the soil of
Kansas, where it is sought to be placed 10y the
red hand of violence, that the foot of the slave
shall not curse the soil of Utah, New Mexico,
Oregon, Nebraska or Minnesota nay, We will
go further, and declare that wherever the flag
of the Republic waves, its stars shall glitter
only on free men. 1t may wave from Quebec,
the Gibralter of the West, it may float in the
Arctic seas where Kane first engraved the
Christian symbol of the cross upon the icy
cliffs, as Fremont inscribed it Oh the Rocky
Mountains loud cheers )-it may wave over
the Cordilleras of Mexico, over the mountains
and plains of Central America or over the
Moro castle, but it should wave only over free
men forever. He would have his Southern
brethren to understand that he did not wish
to interfere with the institution of slavery
1t was their responsibility. The world, hui
manity, God would hold them to account for it,
but God, the world, humanity, would also hold
us to account if We permitted the foot of
the slave to press any portion Of free territory.

AMERIc ~ CoSsrfrUrIuS-This is beauti-
full figure of Winthropes, in reference to our
Constitution, where he says Like one of thoSn
wondrons rocking stones raised hy the Druid,
which the finger of child might vibrate TO its
centre, yet the might of an army could not
move it from its place, our Constitution is )"
nicely poised, that it seems to sway with every
breath of passion, yet so firmly based in tho
hearts and affections Of the people, that the
widest storms Of treason and fanaticisln break

"THFY ASK TO Be LET ALoSE ." The ven
erable Josiah Randall, Of Pennsylvania, who
has known all the Presidents" ;" we are told by
the Democratic papers, has made a speech in
Tammany Hall, and uttered what they call
the " eleventh commandment that is, to
"let the south, alone" " All they ask is to be
let alone says the venerable sage. While
the south are hestafing at no means to extend
the Institution Of slavery over free territory.
/" all they ask is to be let alone" When they
are marching into free territory and seizng
upon the ballot boxes and driving the free
voters from the. polls at the point Of the bowls
knife, and themselves voting instead, without a
shadow of right to do so, all they ask is to
be let alone" When they sack and pilags
and burn the houses, q qniets freedom loving
citizens and then murder them, '' all they ask
to be let alone" When they beset the high
ways and rob and plumber northern emigrants
and send them back whence they came, e all
they ask is to be let alone" When, by and
by, in fulilment Of a threat often repeated.
they attempt to call the roll of their slaves Oh
Bunker Hill, all they ask is to be let alone

Free State Prisoners in Kansas.

Gov, GEARY is playing the tyrant over the
free state men ip, Kansas in the most approved
border ruffian stylei Up, to the 26th of Sep
tember. says the Cleveland Herald, this Gov
ernor had caHsEd TO be issued 4l3 warrants for
the arrest Of free state men charged at ran-
dom with felonies. One hundred and thirteen
wefe under arrest. The. others had fed the
territory or we're in conceameut to avoid the
restraint of their liberty. Not single arrest
of proslavery man had been made, nor had
the Governor caused warrant to be issued
for the arrest Of, q border ruflian. Could u
more efficient mode of " crushing out free
dom in Kansas be devised?
The offence of the free state men was de-
Tending their property and lives against the
depredations and attacks Of the border rufians
They were forced by the highest law of nature
the law of selfpreservation-t take up
arms against the pro-slavery horleS from Mis-
souri, and the SOUTH who were deSolating the
territory with outrage, robbery, arson, murder
and massacre, and who had sworn to drive
every free state man from Kalsas.
When they had Soundly thrashed their enc
mics in several bloody conflicts, the new terri
torial Governor stepped in, promised the free
state inhabitants they should be protected, i'll
duced them to disband their forces, then arrest
ed them for murder and added insult to treach-
cry by, placing the prisoners under the guard ct
the iuvating ruffians he had enrolled as terrific
rial militia, under United States pay and feed.

WALL FOR FREE ON .

The fertile plains Of Kansas
Give out a mOurnful wall,
For Moluchs car advances
Where springs the western gale.
His chariot wheels are crushing
Out Freedoms vital breath,
And rueian hosts are rushing
To haste the work Of death.
Foul Slavery's breath is sweeping
Across its Yerdant dales,
Hi, hungry bloodhOundS leaping
Wherever Freedom trails.
Her PROSTATE form and bleeding.
Her guardians behold;
But mockingly unheedng,
THEY'RE chained by Moloch's gold.
And Freedom lies forsaken,
Her champions are slain,
Her crown and scepter taken,
She never can regain.
Unless her sorIs determine
Her kingdom shall not die;
Assume the usurpcd ermine
And speak for Liberty.

Freen1en, Remember.

That every vote given for Buchanan and
Breckenridge, is vote given for Slavery and
Stakeholder.
REMEMBER,
There is but one issue to be dec ded at th e
coming election, and that is Freedom or Slave
ry.
REMEMBER,
There is no middle ground in this renewed
struggle for Freedom. The question is-shall
Freedom or Sagery be restricted to their pre-
sent limits.
REMEMBER
That Fremont and Dayton are the only can
didates, and .he Republicans the only party in
favor of restricting Slavery to its present lim-
its, and forever prohibiting it in all the Terri
tories Of the Union.
WHERE DO YoU STAND?
On the side of the enslayers of Kansas
OH the side of that oligarchy that is aiming
not only to enslave the Press and the Freedom
of Speech, but to enslave the Free White
Laborers Of the North.
OR,
Are you standing on the side of Freedom
Justice Humanity, and the rights of the
Free Laborer?
YOUR VOTE WILL TELL.

MARION AND THE BMrIsH OFFICER, The

the following = ~. , 49,.
The story Of Martens ir4itns the British
officer to dine with bin, ON potatoes and cold
water, is literally true. The young English
man had first been Invited by Marion's aids to
dine with them, and had accepted the invita-
ton but, being subsequently invited by tho
General, he requested to be excused Mari
on, with his usual sagacity, had perceived that
the youth was sensitive, and concluded to try
him by ruse The potatoes were served up
carefully placed by the side Of the pine plate
They had been roasted and brought on by Os-
car his fayorite servant-his foster brother
who was. therefore, from infancy, always call
ed Budde, or brother, by the General, when
spoken to 10y him. after dinner, Marion said,
Budde, bring as something to drink" and
Oscar brought a gourd full of water, of which
the officer was invited to drink the General
then drank heartily from the same gourd He
then ordered Oscar to bring his horse Roger,
and the General handed to Roger the potato
SKINS all of which were eaten by Roger from
Marions hand. The sequel of this incident
was, that the young officer resigned his COM
mission, and with determination never again
to draw his sword against men who so bravely
and conscentiously opposed his King, and Go
yernment, suffering pri7atiens and wants OF
every kind, without pay. clothing, forage, arms
or ammunition compelled to reside III sickly
swamps, without tents to shelter them with
nothing to drink but water, nothing to eat but
roots, and feeding their horses on the skins
