eH- At the great gathering Of the friends OF
freedom, at Princeton, on the 4th, 10. Knox adj
dressed the multitude in a powerful speech. A
contemporary who was present, says that Knox
gave in his experience of political life tor the
last twenty years, and how he had chung 70 the
old democratic ship through fair and foul wealth
or, up to the endorsement ofthe Kansas Aehras-
ka Bill, when he found the planks giving way
and he began to fear there were breakers ahead
Time passed on. and as surge after surge came
up. and the pillows rolled, plank after plank
gave way to the outside pressure, until the noble
vessel had been stripped of her democratic coy
ering. and appeared rc-noddled, her crew head
mo southward, with a Pro-S!asery flag at les
mast head. This was signal to him, that the
old Democratic party had deserted its principles
and its friends, and had gone over to worship at
the feet of mammon. He now eschews the
party, for he despises slavery, and viii hence
forward battle for Freedom.

GEN. PERsIFER F. SMITH.-This gentleman,
one of the most prompt and efficient comman-
ders in our army, has gone to Kansas, with or
ders to prevent all Free State men entering the
Territory with arms. BY WHAT AUTRORI-
TY does the President instruct him to take arms
from the hands of the people, or to prevent them
entering the Territory BY no other authority
than such as DESFOT assumes. He is liable to
Impeachment for it, for the constitution saws
that 's the right of the people to keep and bear
g arms shall not be infringed;" and he who
makes or executes such an order is liable to the
pains and penalties ofa constitution violated and
trampled under foot. 1t is such an edict as the
autocrat of Russia issues, whose only authority
is in the sovereign lawgive. Is the Constitu-
ton utterly a sham? Are its guarantees of no
fierce and value to the free citizens Is the de-
mand of the slave-power and the will of the
President the supreme law of the land If not
why in the name Of Heaven are such thing done?
Citizens, it cannot be disguised it is as certain as
the sun shines, either the solemn guarantees of
the Constitution, the paramount law of the
land, are cheats and shams, or the President is
usurper and tyrant, as utterly and undeniably
SO as Louis Napoleon. Can you deny its Is it
not clear as the daylight? And do you not
know that the Constitution and the laws are
thus monstrously Knocked at, and your sovereign
authority employed solely for the purpose Of
strangling Civil Liberty ard extending and for
tifying Chattel Slavery And do you saw
Amen! to this ?-Gate City.

HEAR A VETERAN SPEAK.-We have been per-
mitted to give the following letter to the public.
1t is from the Hon. Russell Whipple, formerly
Judge of Wayne county, in Illinois, to his
old friend P. Dorsheimer Esq, of Buffalo, with
whom he had, in years gone by, been a COLA
borer in the Democratic ranks. He is now sew
enty-four years of age; but he speaks with the
fire and zeal of youth in behalf of the good cause:
NAPERvILLE, Dupage Co., ILL.,
Mr.. DoRsHEIMER-Dear Sir:-I felt proud to
see you in the National Convention to nominate
a President, and doing battle for freedom.
remember when We acted together in old Wayne
as Democrats, and feel proud that We are now
acting together in favor of freedom. After the
Democratic party hoisted the black piratical flag
of slavery, no honest man, who had in his veins
one drop OF the blood of q freeman, could lon
ger act with them. And now, when the blood
of murdered freemen is crying from the ground
in Kansas, where men are butchered like dogs,
because they love freedom, and all this seems to
be done under the sanction Of the Administra-
ton, as they have done nothing to stop it until
lately, their object seemed to be to carry slavery
into Kansas with the pistol and bowie knife !;
but, thank God I think the reign Of this Admin
istration is drawing to a close. The names of
Fremont and Dayton will sweep all before them.
You need not fear Illinois, Wisconsin, nor Iowa,
they will go right. We have good many Penn
sylvania Germans here, and they all so Tor FIRE.
