Mr.. BuRLrSaAMr ArD.yrox-Th,

Mr.. BuRL1NGAME At DAYroN.-Th,
Ohio State Journal has the following il
regard to the reception of Mr.. Burlin.
game by the Buckeyes
Mr.. Burlingame arose and presence
himself to the "sea of upturned faces,
and such reception as he obtained, few
men have ever received. Cheer aftc,
cheer assembled to the skies, which came
fresh and warm from thousands of good
and true hearts. At length order being
restored, Mr.. Burlingame began his
speech. After speaking fifteen minutes,
the crowd pressed SO hard, and the utter
impossibility of any thing like half be-
ing able, either to hear or to see, an ad-
journment to Clegg's Hall, near by, was
demanded and carried. The rush for the
Hall was immense, and the doors were
hardly opened five minutes before it
was crammed and jammed in every nook
and corner. There was not a square
foot left vacant. Here he was greeted
with the same rapturous applause. AZ
ter speaking in most eloquent and con-
vincing manner for about half an hour,
the crowd on the outside, which number
ed several thousand, demanded that he
should show himself at the window
They wanted to see him, if they could
not hear him. After brief DELAY, Mr.
Bnrlingame appeared at the window. No
Snoper WAC he nhsorvod that chcar flor
cheer was sent up that made the welkin
ring again. He again began his speech,
and had not spoken more than an hour
before the pressure outside demanded an
adjournment to the open space in front
of the Philips House, at which place it
was said that ten thousand men were
waiting in the wet streets to see and hear
him. The demand could not be denied
and another adjournment was carried to
the place named. We shall not under
take to describe the enthusiasm of this.
his third reception. The men shouted,
the women waved their handkerchiefs
and all were wild with enthusiasm and
delight Here he was permitted to fin
ish his well-timed, eloquent and most
acceptable speech. Never was there a
greater triumph Of manhood and elo-
qucncc. He spoke in the open air about
an hour, when he withdrew to a room
in the hotel, where he stayed over an
hour, and was visited by hundreds of
good and true men, who desired to shake
the hand of good and true man.

PRENTICE ON Mr.. Brooks. The
Louisville Journal thus speaks of the ex-
cuse Mr.. Brooks gave for not fighting
Mr.. Burlingame
Mr.. Brooks, however objects, it seems,
to travelling through New Jersey and
New York to get to Canada. He thinks
he would have to run the gauntlet Of
mobs and assassins. He is AFRAID -
Yes, the grim fire. eater, who boasts that
with one blow he could inaugurate rev.
olutions, and destroy the Union, is afraid
to travel through New Jersey and New
York. We rather wonder that he does
not found his objection upon the inse-
curity of the railroads, for we really
think there would be more chances Of
his losing his life by railroad accident
than by the hand of assassins. He GER
tainly backs out from fight. He runs.
And herein is an instructive moral
There are "boaks in tie running Brooks.

The True Issue.

In order that men may vote under
standingly, it becomes indispensable that
they should be conversant with, and
fully comprehend the real issue involved
in the canvass, as promulgated by those
organs that speak with authority, being
the mouth-pieces Of the buchanan party
1t will not be safe for the freemen oil
Maine to rely solely upon those organs
in this Stat, that support Buck e. Brock,
for this information, for they studiously
conceal and suppress tie only real Ma
TroNAL ISSUE, and substitute the State
issues of former years therefor. Those
journals have neither the politica! hon
esty nor the moral courage to submit the
only true and real question, stripped of
all disguise, which is involved in the ap-
preaching election. for the suffrages of
the electors of the Pine Tree State.
Let men beware of the frauds they
are endeavoring to palm off upon the
unsuspecting and unwary. Voters of
Maine be not deceived in this canvass;
for the question is, whether FREEDOM or
SLAVERY shall be inscribed upon our ma.
tional escutcheon
Democrats of The North listen to
uhat those claiming 10 be Democrats of
the South declare the issue to be- The
following extract is copied from the
Richmond (Va.,) Enquirer, the leading
Democratic organ of the South, and no
Buchanan paper of the North deny its
authority to speak for that party. 1t is
Buchanan favoritc organ in Virginia. -
Such is the legitimate fruit of the Gin
cinnati Platform, which speaks for Mr..
Buchanan. But to the extract:
THE DEMOCRATS of the South, in the
pending canvass, cannot rely on the old
grounds of apology and excuse for Slavery
for they seek not IN rely to retain it where it
is. but TO EXTEND TT INTO REGIONS
WHERE IT IS UNKNOWN.
We propose to introduce into new terri
tory HUMAN BEINGS whom we assert to be I'M

can no longer be suppressed The TRU +

Poweshiek county, at that time, was SIX
hundred and fifteen, and these were dis
tributed over an area of five hundred and

BRUTAL MURDER--A Methodisi
Preacher Lynched. Mr.. Isaac r Fay late
Rochester. Missouri, now of Elgin, ILL
lois. gives an account of an outrage per-
petrated by his recent ncighbors. A slave
had run away, but being rccaptured, ac-
cnsed one Sillcrs, Northern Methodist
Minister, of having advised and assisted
him. The pro.slavery men at once met,
and resolved that Sillers should not
preach again. He consented to leave
town, but returned by advice Of an old
and much respected class leader, who
undertook to procure him hearing.
On their arrival, while in a store in
Rochester, the mob entered and were
forcing Mr.. Sillers out of the store, when
his friend made an effort to reason with
them, but had scarcely commenced when
he was shot through the neck and died
instantly. The mob then took Sillers,
tarred his head, put him on horse, and
threatened to kill him if he didn't leave
the State or stop preaching. Sillers say $
he has done nothing to deserve such
treatment, and shall preach there as long
as his life is spared. In consequence of
outrages like the above Mr.. Fay left, I'M
willing to live in such a State.
