tnie morning auopted the plurality rule, to
take effect after the three succeeding unsuc-
csssful votes, by ten majority.
This action makes the election of a Speaker
sure to-day. 1t will occur after VIC 20 to
press. We think we can count IO9 votes for
MIR. Aiken, if necessary to bis election, if jeal-
ousy or something else does not defeat him.
Mr. Banks cannot possibly concentrate as
heavy vote.

We were all aware that the adherents Of the
Border Ruffian party were reduced to all man.
ner of straits, but little dreamed they had been
drawn to their knees The Cincinnati Enquirer
(Buchanier) says:
The Black Republicans, in the frenzy of their
partizanism, are pursuing course which is
highly detrimental TO the highest social inter-
est. They have inflicted serious blow on the
popular respect for religion, by dragging the
pulpit and the clergy into the arena of political
strife. There are thousands of persons who
were wont to attend church, who have been
driven TO the necessity Of substituting family nor
ship. sss e17i'a.i e. fi'T fi e

sons going up Salt River. They must be care
ful of their punctuation, or else they may fall

New YORK, Oct. s.

AN6W AOisAf I'VE O'
Archbishop Hughes publishes the sub
joined card in the morning papers: l
The Archbishop Of New York thinks it
due both to the private feelings of Col.
Fremont and his family, as well as to rea-
sonable self-respeet, to state that he has
nothing to do, either directly or indirectly,
with a private letter which is now being
circulated through the newspapers, purport-
ing to have been written by ]. A. McMas-
ter, editor and proprietor of the Freeman's
journal. Several of those papers connect
the Archbishops name jointly with that
letter, and some of them go so far as to
designate it as the testimony of Archbish-
op Hughes. 8 'a .
Now, the Archbishop is bound to say
that, whether as regards the matter espec-
ially alluded TO in this letter, or in regard
to any other topic involving, even by i'm
plication, his name with any charges which
could fix stain on the private and person
al character of Col Fremont, he, the Arch
bishop, knows nothing Of; therefore he has
not made, or authorized any one to make,
an accusation against Mr.. Fremont.
There is, of course. negative testimony,
buta sense of justice, SO far as the Arch
bishop is concerned, will not permit him to
withhold it. 'ah

We have received official returns of part
of the Marquette Election District, Michi-
gan, which shows an entire revolution of
affairs in that portion of the State. We
have elected Senator and Representative
by humping majorities.
The tide is turning PLAIN Dealer.
Such is the flapdoodle that Gray spoons
out to his patrons. The Marquette cleo
ton turned wholly on a Railroad question.
We know not how il was with the Repre-
sentative, but both candidates for the Sen
ate were Democrats,-it is mere triumph
of one Buchanan man over another, on a
Railroad project. But Gray suppresses all
the important facts of the cause, and hum
bugs his readers with the idea of a political
triumph. Hard pushed Leader.

The Mansfield Gathering. 2.

We get from the Sandusky Register of
this morning an account of the Republican
gathering yesterday at Mansfield. The
Register says: r-fa
We have attended many of the political
gatherings of the campaign, but have seen
nothing to compare with the Mansfield de-
monstrstion. The opining meeting at Day
ton was brilliant atfair-as was also that
at Fremont The Sandusky meeting on
the 10th Of September was admitted to be
the greatest turnout ever known on the
Lake Shore. But our "Back bone" friends
have eclipsed them all. The lowest esti-
mate of the numbers present, yesterday at
Mansfield was $4,000, and by many we
heard the figures placed much higher.
The procession moved at ii o'clock, and
was over two hours passing given point,
and measured five miles in length. We
have not space to give the details of the
cars, wagons, devices, banners, flags, senti-
ments, DC, &c, in the procession. The
Register says: &
One of the best things in the procession
was large wagon, bearing motley crowd,
dressed in the habiliments of the various
industrial callings, all at work with the ap-
propriate tools-representing the "greasy
mechanics" and 'small listed farmers"
spoken of in such contemptuous terms BY
the Buchanan journals ofthe South. Two
meu were using fails; the significance of
the threshing operation the reader will per-
ceive.
Two immense teams of twenty-four yoke
of oxen each attempted to get into the pro-
cession; but they were so large and unwiel-
dy, and the crowd was so dense, that they
were obliged to turn from the main road,
entering town from the south into side
street. The oxen drew enormous Penn
sylvania carts, with wide tired wheels, sur
mounted by very tall liberty poles, from
which floated Fremont and Dayton flags.
In passing towards the Fair Grounds,
an important part of the "bill of fare" pro-
vided for the occasion took its place in the
pageant! we allude to the barbecued oxen,
six in all, each carried standing, on sepa-
rate wagon, draped in pink covering, and
labelled "Fremont's Cattle"
The Fremont Cattle were served up in
mastery style, being accompanied by an
overfowing abundance of other substantials.
Long ranges of tables were
provided in the open air, for the men, and
two large tents were prepared for the ladies.
Nothing could have been more complete
than all the arrangements for the feast
The tables were repeatedly filed, the guests
withdrawing as fast as their gastronomic
wants were supplied.
Afterfeasting was over, speakers address
ed the crowd from six stands, and the
meeting was kept up until late in the eve
ming.

Kansas Barbarities.

81 A gentleman, formerly of Michigan, just
returned from Kansas, is furnishing the
Chicago press with some account of the
state of things in that unfortunate country.
We make an extract from one of his letters.
1t is such Barbarities as these, that the
American people are called upon to avenge
at ihe Ballot-box! And they will do it.
The American voters will place anAdn,in=
istration in power that will swing these
Rufian scoundrels higher than Haman.
Outrages in the Territory continue to be
of frequent occurrence. They come for the
most part, from the predatory bands of
Georgians who are rowing around for the
purposes of plunder. A second one of pc
culiarly horrible nature is well authentica-
ted. A Mrs. Hatfield, Kentucky woman,
living 22 miles from 81. Joseph, was one
day, about the goth, visited by aparty of
these Georgians, 13 in number, who pre-
tended that they wanted to buy some mel
ons. She offered to sell them what they
wanted, and they went into the field and
pulled as many as they pleased. When
she requested her pay, they settled the bill
by striking her across the face with whip,
throwing her down and choking her until
her tongue was forced out of her mouth ;
tins they seized, tied string around 1t,
and by the string led her a short distance
from the house and repeatedly violated her
person! 1 heard of her at st. Joseph,
whittier she had been taken. She was suf-
fering horribly from the effect of her inju-
ries, aud was unable, her tongue being 80
badly swollen, to take nourishment except
as it was given her through tube. This
is the work Of the 'law and order" chivalry.
This is the second case of the kind that has
recently happened.

Should Wise, Brooks, and the rest Of

Fillmore Merely q Mask.

The Express announces q movement Of
very solemn character, by which it is pro-
posed to give new impetus to the desper-
ate effort for the election of Mr.. BUCHANAN,
to which various journals hitherto pledged
to Mr.. FILLMORE are now lending their
aid. This movement consists in series
of meetings at the graves of Washington,
Jefferson, jackson, Clay, and Webster, and
at the battle-felds of Bunker Hill, York.
town, Trenton, Saratoga and New Orleans.
At these meetings "the loyal men, the true
"patriots of the land are to be brought and
abound together anew" In the call OF
these meetings nothing is said abont De-
mocrats or Americans; it is hoped that all
who are opposed to Fremont viii be re-
presented. The idea evidently is to make
them an easy mode of transferring to Mr..
BUCHANAN the supporters Of Mr.. FILLMORE,
in consideration, of course, of bringing all
the BUCHANAN men who can be controlled
for the purpose to the support of Mr..
ERAsrUs Brooks for Governor of New
York.
The following letter which we yesterday
received from a responsible person at South
Dover, N. Y, under date of the 18th inst,
throws some light upon this interesting sub
ject:
"a Mr.. Davis of your city spoke to
little handful of men of all parties at this
place ON last Friday evening. His speech
was so dubious as to cause inquiries, after
its conclusion, who he was really for, as
between Fillmore and Buchanan. He eu-
logised both and unqualifedly advised ft-
sion to defeat Fremont. A gentleman
from Fishkill, who introduced Mr. Davis,
very cautiously, and very distinctly, stated
to inquirers that 'the Buchanan men would
give their (the Fillmore) State ticket
'lift and nothing must be said to offend
them. He was advised that this was
Buchanan District before he came, and
'hence the speech of Mr.. Davis
The following extracts from yesterdays
Express Snow how far the influence of this
fusion movement has been felt in Connec-
ticut, at the town elections which have
just taken place:
"Greenwich-In this enterprising town
a large vote was polled for Town Meet
ING, and the Anti-Fremont majority was
from IS to 80.
ain Stanford the Anti Fremont ticket was
also elected, by decided majority, after
very hard contest.
"NewCanaan has elected mixed tick
ct. Two Fillmore men are among the
prominent town officers"
Here we see that the Fillmore men IN
that State have substantially gone over to
Buchanan, as it is intended to make them
do everywhere. The pretended friends of
Mr.. Fillmore in New-England and New
York now only keep him in the field to
serve as mask for the bargains thay are
making with the -Border-Ruffian Democra-
cy. 1t is a general stampede of the Fill
more leaders to the cause of murder, rob-
berry and arson as means of extending sIa-
very, as embodied in the platform and NOM
inees of the Cincinnati Convention. The
honest men of the party who do not wish
to be betrayed had better look out for
themselves, or they will not only be sold
out, but delivered to the buyers before

tEIt beats all how the Buchanan presses
pitch into JAMES BUCHANAN since the publication
of his affidavit proving that Col FREMONT was
the real CoNoERoR OF CALHonsIA, and that the
stories got up about mich COWS and beef cattle
were all lies. BUCHANAN swore they were, in
