Politics in Leavittsburgh.

Passing through Leavittsburgh, or
West Warren, on Saturday afternoon,
we saw on the east side of Duck Greek,
a tall POLE with the national flag flo ting
in the breeze. Below this flag was a
banner, on which was inscribed the
Union, Fremont and Dayton, and a ear
ricature representing Buchanan riding
on a mule, and driving four or five slaves
before him. On the west side of the
creek. was a tall hickory pole, with a
brush at the top, and just below, a BAN
ner with the words Buchanan and Breck.
enridge, and the Union. Below this
banner were the stars and stripes.
These two poles and their banners
showed the difference between the two
parties whose politics they represent,
very Significantly. At the top of one
pole, waved the flag of our glorious
Union, and beneath was the banner OF
the Republican party. On the other,
the flag of the pro Slavery party waved
above the national stripes and stars.
Near the hickory pole Hon. NJ. Birch
ard stood on a saw log. addressing an
audience very moderate in number. and
composed in part of delegates from this
village. As the Judge was bare headed,
and the sun shining out rather hot, it
was our private opinion that whatever
was lacking of warmth and vitality, in the
principles of his party, could be supplied
by the sum-. and if heart was not warm,
the top of his head would be.
On Saturday evening a Republican
meeting was held at Leavittsburgh,
which was addressed by J. Hutchins and
P. E. Reed, Esqrs. A goodly number
were in attendance, and the meeting en-,
thusiastic.

Republican

The grand closing scene of the Repub-
lican reform congress. was to pass a bill
for increasing the compensation of Con-
greSsmen about 80 per cent. over present
rates. In lieu of the present compeusa-
ton CT eight dollars a day, each member
is to be allowed $4,000 for each session
be it short OIL long. This is indepen .
dent of their usual allowance for mileage.
Democrat.
This bill. deprives the members OF
their usual allowance of books, and
charges them with absence. 1t will
have a tendency to shorten the sessions,
there being no longer any pecuniary in
ducement TO prolong them. These were
the arguments used in its favor, by its
supporters. Whether it will be good or
bad in its effects, we neither know nor
care, for the consequences will lie at the
door Of The Democratic party. The bill
originatedin the Senate, (Which is large.
ly Democratic, and passed hat body
by a large minority, tro Democrats voting
TOR it, for n Republican.
In the House, the bill, after conside-
rable lodging and shifting. passed by a
Yea and Nay vote of 100 10 81. As a
party vote it stood as follows: Republi-
cans-Yeas, 46 Nays, SO: Democrats
Yeas, 80; Nays. 81; Americans
Yeas, % Nays. 10.
The Democrat never can tell the truth
without violating its established princi,
nles.

The News from Kansas.

In another column, will be found news
from Kansas, of the deepest intel est,
The Free State men and the miuions OF
slavery, have had several skirmishes, in
which the former have come off %victori-
Gus. and the latter, panic struck, are call
ing in tones of earnest entreaty, for men
and means from their southern friends,
to assist them in stemming the tide which
threatens to wrest from them their usur-
ped power in Kansas.
Wednesday, the goth inst, was the
day fixedupon to rally the ruff an hordes,
and VT presume. ere this, the available
forces Of both parties, have met in san
culinary battle. Stringfellow, Atchison,
and their gang, in their circulars calling
for help, express their determination to
give NO QUARTER to their opponents. We
sincerely hope that the God of Battles
will-enable the Freemen 10 maintain their
rights, and resist the mandate which has
gone forth, hat Kansas shall be cursed
with slavery.

ARRAYS at Paris. Portage Co.

The Ravenna Democrat says that on
Sunday the 18th, at fredericksburg
several fights came off. One of which
was between Bill Robins and his broth
er-in law, n. Mckee. They were both
intoxicated. Mckee was severely beat
en- and kicked. He die on the Tues
day following, as is supposed from inju-
ries received in the fight o Sunday. He
leaves a wife and five or six children
Bill Robins, we understand, has gone
off.
These same, with other rowdies, we
are also informed, a short time previous
to the above afr ~, had a Sabbath day
and Sabbath night spree in the village of
Newport, dancing, singing, hoOting ri
bald songs, and generally making night
hideous.
They attaked a passing coal boat, beat
the driver most numerically, threw the
captain into the canal, hurled stones at
the boat, one Of Which struck a man on
the head, fracturing his skull.

Mr.. Dunns' Bill.

The Democrat, with its usual astute-
ness has found another mares nest, in
Mr.. Dunns' bill, which every niger dri-
yer in Congress, and every niger owner
in the Senate, voted against /; and con
sequently the bill was rejected by a large
majority. The Democrat says:
The records of the present Congress
prove the astounding fact that the Re-
publican Fremonters of the House, have
voted for and passed a law for the ES-
TABLISHMENT OF SLAVERY IN
KANSAS UNTIL 1853 And that
CHILDREN born of slave mothers, in
Kansas, shall be SLAVES for LIFE !
This is all false, every word. In the
first place the bill did not pass, and that
too, because every pro-slavery man in
both houses voted against it and in the
next it would no more have established
slavery in Kansas, than the Fugitive
Slave Law establishes it now in Ohio
Mr.. Dunn's bill contains the same clause
in regard to returning fugitive slaves,
that was contained in the ordinance of
81, and in precisely the same words,
and also aproviso, that the owner of any
slave legally holden to service, may take
him or her out of the territory ; and an
other, that it be admitted as a Free
State. No person could her be legally
held as a SlaUe, and the Democrat must
ha,ch out or borrow some other false
hood.

More Chivalry.

We learn by a traveller on the cars,
that Mr.. Samuel F. Templeton, Of Mus
kingum county, who vas at Memphis,
Scotland county. Mo-, on the day of the
late election there, states that folr men
were killed at that place. The cmcum-
stances were as follows: A STAKEHOLDER
by the name of Hanna, and a labo:ihg
mar were discussing the economical
bearings of the slavery question. The
laboring man stated that It was impOsSi-
BILE for laboring men to attain 10 respec-
liability and standing in a slayeholding
community, and in the discussion Hanna
called the other a liar. The man said
he would not take that, and prepared for
fight. Hanna drew his revolver, and
shot him through the heart. A friend
of the laboring man interfered, and he
also was shot and died instantly. This
excited the friends of the men who were
killed, who assailed the murderers with
clubs and stones, and beat them so badly
that they died before noon. We give
lie facts as We have heard them.-O. s..

Mnvement in Virginia.

The Wellsburgh (VG.) Herald. n of
the papers published in what is called
the " Pan Handle" contains a communi-
cation on the subject OF Slavery in Vir-
ainia, from which we make the following
short extract:
owe are taxed to support slavery; the
clean cash goes OUT of orr own pockets
into the pocket of the STAKEHOLDER, ond
this in many ways. | viii now allude
to but two. If a slave for crime is put
to death or transported, the owner is paid
fol him out OF the public treasury, and
under this law thousands are paid out
every year. Again, a standing army is
kept up in The city of Richmond for no
other purpose than 10 be really to quell
Instruction among the slaves; this is
paid for cut Of the public treasury an
nually. This standing army is called
the public guard, but it is no less a STAN
ding army always kept up. We will
quote from the acts of 1856 the expense
of these two items to the State, On the
23d and Oath pages of the acts: "To
pay for slaves executed and transported,
twenty-five thousand dollIrs." 10 the
pablo guard at Richmond, including
the interior guard of the Penitentiary,
twenty four thousand dollars"
This, be it noticed, is for only one
year, making near fifty thousand dollars
for these two obI"c.s in one year; but it
can be shown by the present unequal
plan Of taxation between slave property
and other property, thai this is but a
small item of our cash pocketed by the
STAKEHOLDER, and yet some will say we
have no reason to complain"

A Fremont Club numbering some if
ty or six members, had been formed
in Wheeling, Va, and arrangements
made to bring out a Fremont electoral
ticket. The Club met on the night Of

of Buchanan and Fillmore men assem- .

meeting.
In Mobile, Alabama, Messrs. Strick-
land & Co, extensive book merchants,
have been forced 10 stop their business,
and leave the state. The Pittsburgh
Gazette says:
Last week a rumor was circulated that
they sold abolition books. OF what dis
cription does not appear, as the Bible
and Declaration of independence are in
that category. 1t may have been the
life of Fremont or Summers speech, OF
Mrs. Beecher Stoves Uncle Tom. The
Geographic dispatch says. "the only
charge against them was the selling o.
books that were regarded as of an in.
cendiary character, inasmuch as they
favored the freedom of the slave" 4
pretty wide range that. This wa.
enough, however. A Committee waited
upon them and ordered them to leave
the city within fire days but the excite

booksellers were compelled to flee in {
