suspicious. Fifteen hundred persons were
present from Boston and Bunker Hill, and a
great number from Maine and Vermont. The

There is another party in the field, that

Americans at East Hall, and the other by the
Republicans at West Hall. At the former, the
Hon. Thomas l.. Jones was to speak, and at
the latter, the Hon. Cassius NJ Clay.
AT the West Hall, Mr.. Clay commenced his
speech, by drawing comparison between the
States of Kentucky and Ohio, as affected by
Slavery, when cries were made of "Move him.

not aware that Fillmore meeting had been
called on the same night.
Voice-That makes no difference.
Mr.. Clay several times attempted to proceed,
but was IS often prevented, when free fight
took place between the opposing parties. The
City Marshal vainly tried to appease the crowd.
At length Mr.. Clay said, ~ will go to East
Hall and hear Col. Jones, and when he has
closed make my remarks
Mr. Jones finished his speech, and then ask

The Journal Americana says the Democrats
made the disturbance, and hurrahed for Fill

The Democrat and Times (Democratic) say
that the Democrats took no part in the disturb

the disturbance was principally confined to
boys.
The Courier (Whig) says the scene was wor-

of thoughtless boys and indiscreet men who at
tempted to abridge the liberty of speech deserve
the severest reprehension.

81. Louis, September 29.-Mssouri, will she
have Republican electors for the Presidential
campaign? Until now, the subject was re-

can, engaging the citizens of this State to &C.
cept Mr.. Fremont as candidate. Mr.. Kayser
deserves the thanks of the true Democracy for
the initiative which he has just taken. 1t is
time to form third electoral ticket, without
which the whole of Missouri will appear before
the eyes of the whole Union as subject to that
reign of terror which, in fact, has only prevailed
along her western borders. The State owes it
to herself to protest loudly against the furies of
ruffianism, and against that ferocious intoler-
ance which wants to see motive for secession
in the triumph of the liberal cause.

has published his version of the story. 1t was

thst they had been tampering with the slaves,
and had been endeavoring to circulate among

appear that two copies of the Bondage and

the East and West, and has a soil as fertile as
that of Iowa or Illinois, with every advantage
of climate, mineral wealth, position, &C., emf
around Missouri, and everywhere avoiding it.

in the American Ne3acal Gazette, DR..
Reese thus earnestly reiterates his ad-
vice 10 apply flour to scalds and burns !:
"We still see reported almost daily, an
appalling number of deaths by burns
aud scalds, not one Of which, we take
upon ouselves to say, need prove fatal
or would do so, if a few pounds of wheat
flour could be promptly applied TO the
wounds made by fire, and repeated until
the infammatory stage had passed. We
have uot known a fatal case Of scalding
or burning in which this practice has
been pursued, during more than thirty
years experience, and have treated hun
dreds in both public and private practice.
We have known the most extensive
burns by falling into cauldrons Of boil-
ing oil, and even molten copper, and yet
the patient was rescued by this simple
and cheap remedy, which, from its infal-
Iible success, should supplant all the
fashionable nostrums, whether oil, cot
ton, leadwater, ice, turpentine, Or pain
extractors, every one of which has been
tried thousand tnss with fatal results,
and the victims have died in e1crncia-
ting agony, when a few handfulls Of
-four would have Gained them to sleep,
and rescued them from pain and death.
Humanity should prompt the profession
to publish and reppblish the facts on this
subject, which are established by the au-
thority of standard medical works on
both sides of the Atlantic.

SELECT POETRY.

Dr. Reed, traveller through the high
lands Of Peru. is said to have found late
", in the desert of AIcoasna, the dried
remains of an assembagc of human
beings, five or six hundred in number
men, women aud children, seated in a
semi circle as when alive, staring Into the
burning waste before them. They had
rot been buried--life had not departed
before they thus sat around, but hope
was gone; the Spanish invaders were at
l.snd, NO hope being left, they had come
hitler to die. They still sal iminovable
in the dresry desert, dried like mum
mics BY the effect of the hot ait; they
still keep their position, sitting up as in
solemn council, while DER that Areopa-
gus, silence b.oods everlasting.
