y The Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph, OF
the 18th inst, bore at its head the flag OF
Fremont and Dayton. This paper is re-
garded as the organ of the know nothing
state administration, aud its course has been
anxiously watched by the friends OF both
Fillmore and Fremont. In giving its reas-
ons for hosting the republican ticket the
Telegraph says ave have no war to wage
against Mr.. Fillmore. He has many friends
and deserves them; but the popular heart
of the opposition is clearly not with him in
the present crisis. We have reason to be-
lieye that hi, friends in Pennsylvania are
sincere in desiring the overthrow Of the To-
cofoco party and If so, it is more than half
accomplished. Notwithstanding the indis-
cretion of few who prefer Mr.. Fillmore,
in their unscrupulous attacks upon Col. Free
mont, we doubt not that the great mass oil
both Fremont and Fillmore men earnestly
desire and look confidently for o cordial
union and a common cause against the Ne
braska party; and the politicians have but
to reflect the wishes of the pcople,and union
and victory will be tho result Of our Ia
bors."
OF the eight papers in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan's residence five
support Fremont, two buchanan, and one
Fillmore. That we understand to DO about
the proportion Of the voters for the respect
i've candidates in the free states.

\ NV HlmSurGE Town MEETING. A
New Hampshire correspondent Of the Man
chester American gives an account of q fun
ny town meeting which was held at LacOnia,
n. H.. on the Goth ult. One object for
which the Meeting was called, rs stated in
the warrant, was to SEQ whether the town
will vote the "liquor law nuisance, and
ITS advocates the greatest foes Of temper
anc,." The landlord was chosen modcn-
tor and il was voted to abolish the liquoragen
CIV in the village. Ii was then voted to re-
move all the liquors from the town, aud
next to employ chemist to analyze the
liquors in the agency, and to burn all that
proved To be bad. The next step was to
elect as cLeRiS man who formerly kept a
saloon, who knows "a much about chemis-
try rs he does about the Chinese language,
although he is said to BE- an excellent
judge of liquor"
\ committee Of three wisappointed to in

is, should not be allowed over quart of
liquor at any one time! An attempt was
made 10 limit the amount to one pint, but
the meeting was too liberal, and voted the
"bis thing full" When the moderator
put the motion that the "'liquor law was a
nuisance, and its advocates the greatest foes
of temperance" he persisted in reading it
the " greatest fo,s of m.,emparancs," and
actually put tho motion in that way, and
the meeting voted on it with the understand

BkornER JONATHAN" Tho origin OF
this term as applied to tho United States, is
as follows
When General Washington, after being
appointed commander Of the army OF the
revolutionary war, went to Massachusetts, to
organize it, he found great want Of am
munition and other means for its defence;
and ON one occasion, it seemed that no means
could be devised for the necessary safely
Jonathan Trumbull, the elder, was then
Governor Of the State OF Connecticut; and
the General, placing tho greatest reliance on
his EIcellency'sj udgemcn., remarked, :" we
must consult Brother Jonathan on the sub
ject." The General did so, and the Cover
nor was successful in supplying many oil the
wants Of the army; and thenceforth, when
difficulties arose, and the army was spread
over the country, it became q by-phrase,
ave must consult Brother Jonathan !;
and the name has now becomes designation
for the whole country, as John Bull has for

Aspirited letter writer for the New
York Times, in speaking OF the election OF
Frank Blair, Jr., to Congress from st. Louis,
says -
"St. Louis is an anti-slavery city. . . .
Never did man bear himselfmore nobly than
Mr.. Blair has done throughout the present
contest. The iirmneSs and nerve displayed
by him under the mos; tremendous pressure,
and the promptncss and opcuness with which
he has met every eSiscncy arising during
the campaign, have endeared him to a whole
hos: Of noble and generous friends, and OK
cited the admiration eSCn OF his bitter cne-
mics.
"Wc may very naturally oxagyerate the
Importance to be attached to Mr.. Blairs
election; to as, at least, it has Sery deep
significance, as an expression OF detcrmin-
alton on the part Of the people ofSt. Louis
no. to he dominccred over by those who in-
solon,!y take it upon Themselves to represent
the only interest that is thought worthy oil
protection in tho South - niSgcrs, nigsers,
nisscrs. What makes this victory more
worthy Of notice is the fact that while the
position Of Mr.. Blair he's been well defined
and understood, that OF Mr.. Kcnnstt, hi.
chief opponent, has been involved in doubt.
Though IN fact very compliant inst ument
IN the hands Of the Slavery propasandi.ts.
his friends have h11n able to plac1 him in u
wide range of position, from the strongest
Pro-SAygryism to the mildcst and most re-
luctant acquiescsucc in the Kansas-Ncbraska
act. II, has never met thc issues presented
by the openly expressed opinions and pur-
poses OF Mr.. Blair.
