Mr.. Timothy Tarpin was yesterday arrested
and brought before his Honor, Justice Harris,
at the instance of Mr.. Patrick Ryan, for using
towards this last named gentleman, disrespect-
full and unbecoming language, calculated to pro-
woke breach Of the peace. The witnesses
swore that Mr.. Tarpin was in the habit Of calling
out to Mr.. Ryan as he passed, ''stop the boat,
in jeering manner. The language was suppos-
ed to have reference to something very proyok-
ing to Mr.. Ryan. The defendant claimed that he
only spoke to his horse, which had been a boat

The following is from speech of the Hon.
Albert G. Brown, Senator from Mississippi, and
one of the Committee appointed to inform Mr..
Buchanan of his nomination. In speaking of
the contingency Of the election Of Fremont,
he said;
'.If, indeed, it has come to this, that the
Union is to be used for these accused purposes,
then, sir, by the God of my fathers, AM
AGAINST THE UNION, AND so HELP NE

NY AND OPPRESSION .- 1..zs
EOn the 18th day of December, 1910, Mr..
Toonbs said in the House of Representatives:
( " / do not hesitate to ayow before this House
and the country, and in the presence of the liy-
ing God, that if by your legislation you seek to
drive US from the territories of California and
New Mexico, purchased by the common blood
and treasure of the whole people, and to abol.
ish slavery in this District, thereby attempting

"Refuse them, the demands of the South.

In the same place, and on the same day, Mr..
Stephens said:
"We do not intend to submit to aseressons
on our rights; and tell the House that every
word uttered by my colleague, Mr.. Toombs
MEETS MY HEARTY RESPONSE. Applause.

But if any one doubts whether Mr. Toombs
now entertains such dsunion sentiments, let |
him read the letter he wrote on the 18th of
July, 1855, in which he says: the election of |
Fremont would be the end of the Union, and it I
ought to be. "
These, with the South Carolina nullifiers, are
the Union-savers,o which we hear so much |
from the slavery organs; and those who rallied |
to support and sustain Gen. Jackson in his con-
test with notification are the Union breakers

orF.-Travelers who have just arrived in this city
from Kansas report that the Gordon of the rui-
fans on the borders of Kansas is now complete,
and that parties seeking ingress through Iowa
and Nebraska are liable to be stopped at every
point. This news, however, is not very alarm
ing. If Gov Geary really undertakes to restore
order in the Territory on his arrival, he will at
once dispense the predatory bands on the bor-
.ders as well elsewhere By calling the United
States forces to his aid and if he should deter
mine not to interfere between the people and
then. enemies, it would not require very large
detachment FROM the Free State forces assem-
bled in the neighborhood of Lawrence, to keep

A CHAIIENeE.-The Louisville Journal is
throwing some hot shot at the Platform, in
way which must be quite uncomfortable for that
defunct piece Of humanity. 1t has reference to
the Clay and Adams matter, in which Mr. Buchan-
an was concerned. The journal talks in this
wise: s IRA
"What contrast there is between men. A
few years before the death of General jackson,
rumor was published that he had made some
certain statements in private letter. Instant.
ly the indignant old man published that every hui
man being was fully authorized to give to the
world any and every letter written by him, no
matter to whom or upon what subject. That
was honest and manly and bold. 1t was wor-
thy of a man conscious of rectitude. How diff.
ferent, how miserably different, is the conduct
of James Buchanan, forbidding Gov Letcher
and repeatedly and piteousiy imploring Mr..
Clay not to make publication of facts in rela-
ton to him, and Withholding, in defiance of the
daily and hourly taunts of his political enemies
and the secret wonder and scorn of his political
friends, his consent to the publication of let
ter written by himself to an immortal patriot up
on whom he had inflicted deep, terrible and
most accused wrong! AS matters stand, what
man, with the feelings of one, would support
James Buchanan for the Presidency of the Uni
ted Statess

believes James Buchanan an honorable or hon.

call on james Buchanan to remove the seal of

to authorize the publication of his correspon-
dence with Henry Clay! Does not every person
know that these matters have been the subject
of frequent and earnest consultation between
Mr.. Buchanan aud his friends since his nomina.
ton, and that his persistent refusal to let Mr..
Letcher speak or to let his correspondence with
Mr.. Clay come forth is the result of his own
