A Spunky American.

Hon. Percy Walker of Alabama having been censured by an American meeting at Mobile, for avow ing his determination to vote for Buch- anan, comes back at' the meeting in note published in the Herald and Tribune in the fol- lowing spirited manner:
 In regard to these resolutions have only to say that l have been condemned 'oithom q hearing, and if that comports with the sense of justice of those who passed the sentence, envy them not. Such nasty and incorporate action can have no influence upon my course. l shall not be driven from my purpose by violence, abuse or intimidation.
 was elected to Congress not to vote for Mr. Fillmore or MT. Anybody else, but to sustain and carry out the principles l advocated upon the stump and no one can say that have fal- tered in their support. l was voted for and elected as an avowed southern rights man, and lam still unchanged.
 Upon the adjournment of Congress 1 shall return home and address the people in vindica- ton of my conduct, and l now challenge you and those who acted with you in the meeting of the 14th inst, to meet me face to face before our fellow citizens and show, if you can, when and where have surrendered single prlnci- pie professed when elected-to show when and where have failed in efforts to inagurate what believed to be the leading policy of the party to show when and where have been unmindful of the district or State-when and where have been regardless of my obliga- tons as southern man, or failed in the per formance of the duties devolving on me as a Representative.
 trust that the challenge will be accepted. Those who are so quick to strike blow should be ready to justify it.

unu if Feels to be Hanged.

An acouaintance of Lord Bacon, who meant .o bang himself-only partially lost his foot ;ng and was cut down at the last extremity, having i1'i nearly paid for his curiosity with his life He declared that he felt no pain, and his only sensation was the fire below his eye which cbanged first to black and then to sky blue.- These colors are even source of pleasure A Captain Montagnac, who was hanged in France during the religious war, and rescued from the cibbet at the intercesson of Viscf unt Turenne, complained that having lost all pain in an in- stant; he had been taken from light of which the charm defed all description. Another criminal, who escaped by the breaking of the cord said that after second of suffering, fire appeared, across it the most beautiful avenue of trees. Henry ". of France sent his physician to question him, and when mention was made of pardon, the man answered coldly that it was not worth the asking. The uniformity of the descriptions render it useless to multiply instances. They fill pages in every book of medical jurisprudence. All agree that the un- easiness is quite momentary; that pleasurable feeling immediately succeeds; that colors of various hues start up before the sight; and that these having been gazed on for trivial space, the rest is oblivion. The mind. averted from the reality of the situation, is engaged in scenes the most remote from that which fills the eye of the spectator-the vile rabble, the hideous gallows, and the struggling form that swings in the wind.-l.ondon Revteao.

FROM NEW BRUNswIcK.-St. John papers to the 1st inst. have been received.
 A proclamation has been issued declaring Campbellton, in the county of Restigouche, a port of entry.
 The Morning News, of the 1st inst says:
 "The splendid harvest weather continues, and in many parts of the country harvest ope- rations are general, the only difficulty in the case being the absence of labor As substi- tute for manual power, the reaping machine is coming into pretty, general use, and before many years have elapsed the benefits of this excellent substitute will be fully appreciated
 The extreme heat which prevailed during the last fortnight has been without parallel in this country of recent years On some days the temperature was higher by some degrees than has been known during the last ten ears I his has rpened and mellowed the cereal crops rapidly, and precipitated that demand for labor to which we have referred.

Fillmore has no Chance.

We respectfully direct the attention of our Know Nothing fellow citizens to the opinion of one of their great idols, Gov. Crittenden, rela- tive to MT. Fiilmore's chances:
 The Louisville Journal bases all it's hopes opon the assumption that Fillmore is stronger in the north than Buchanan, and daily declares that New York will go for Fllmore-a lie so palpable, tha: it is ap'aziug and ridiculous.- There is just as much chance that Ohio will go for Fillmore as New York will. Let the Jour- nal observe and remember, that in MT. Critten- den's speech in this city, he mentioned that the foes of Fillmore agreed that Mir. Fillmore had TO charce and that he (Crittenden) expressly declined to "commit his veracity' to the ex- tent to say that Fillmore really had any chance. He would not commit his veracity for the coun- try was "in an extraordinary condition"

Meeting of JOurneyman Printers.

At meeting of the Journeyman Printers of the city of Little Rock, on the 17th inst, the following proceedings were had:
 The meeting was organized by calling F. s. Garritt to the chair; S. c. w. Lewis acting as secretary.
 On motion, the following preamble and reso- lution was adopted:
 WHEREAS, Experience has demonstrated the utility of concentrated effort in arriving at spe- ciflc ends--that in their accomplishment all means may be adopted not incompatible with individual rights or the welfare of society; and WHEREAS, Those whose peculiar vocation it IS to disseminate the seeds of progress, should exemphfy in their own affairs the maxims which they are instrumental in impressing upon others; therefore,
 Be tt Reso1ved, That the Journeyman Print CTS of the city of Little Rock, with view to fraternlse in that harmonious spirit which, from time lmmemorial, has characterised the mem- bers ot an art preservative to all arts," form themselves into an associated brotherhood, to be styled LITTLE ROCK TYpoGRAPH1cAL UNION Mo-" and adopt Constitution, Bly, Laws, Rules of Order, and bill of Prices for their government.

More Signs.

We observe that Senator CLAYTON, of Dela- ware, and the National Intelligencer which has for almost half century been the metropoli- tan organ of tho whig party, both refuse to support MT. FILLMORE in the coming election. - They have taken a neutral position, and will support neither of the candidates in the field. When the National Intelligencer falters in the support of the opponents of democracy, it is time for all other men to stop and think. It has warmly opposed every democrat that ever ran for the Presidency since the foundation of parties in the country. There must either be something very bad in the FILLMORE organi- zation or something very good in the demo- cratic cause, to bring the Intelligencer to this position of neutrality. There are already more than half of the whig Senators from the south working in the democratic ranks, and the Know Nothing party of the south is literally in the condition of an army without Generals A few of their Colonels, Captains and Leutenants are left but their forces can avail nothing against the seried and compact ranks of the democracy. The defection of MT. CLAYTON insures the State of Delaware to Mir. BUCHANAN, while the defection of the Intelligencer will create luke. warmness throughout the country.-M Memphis Appeal

Additional by the Arabia.

The London Star asserts that the govern ments of England and France are on bad terms relative to Spanish affairs, and ntimates that England is ready to make any concessions to the United States in order to secure their friend ship in case of an eruption. Napoleons health excites much discussion, and it is said that he suffers from dangerous malady, the nature of which is concealed from the public.
 The Spanish government have not published the decrees abolishing the Cortes.
 Lisbon is quiet, and it isl now evident that the late riots originated in political discentent, and the alarm is spreading at Naples.
 The Russian campaign against Circassia is postponed.
 There has been an earthquake at Algeria, and several villages were destroyed. m

Peter Funk WOrsted.

Peter Funk is a shrewd man, and generally carries his point; but he sometimes gets worst ed. A case has recently occurred which we will relate. A countryman named King was in the city on business, and though appearing somewhat "green' was not altogether unac- ouainted with the ways of Gotham. He had heard of Peter, and resolved to see him. He accordingly went into a mock auction store, where a number of men were examining watches, with the apparent intention of buy ing.
 When King entered wise looks were ex- changed between these gentry, and the sale soon commenced. A handsome and valuable gold watch was offered, and King being good judge of the article, bid it in at $25. He im- mediately put it into his pocket and turned to leave. The auctioneer asked him to have the watch done up "No" replied King, "I will carry it in my pocket-it will be safe" " You had better have it done up," persisted the auc- tioneer; "you can then put 1t in your trunk and carry it home without danger of losing it"- q never lose anything" replied King
 By this time several men had gathered around him. some advising him to have 1t done up and others asking him to let them look at it. But he declined all offcrs and started for the door, Peter saw that he had got hold of the wrong customer, and resolved to effect by force what he could not by deception. A man sprung before King, and was about to close the door, while the others pressed closely around him.
 Thereupon he drew revolver, and assuring them it was well loaded and sure fire told the man at the door, in very cool and deliberate manner, that if he attempted to shut it, he would blow his brains out forthwith. Then pushing away the men around him with pair of stout arms he exclaimed, 1.-the first man who dares to lay his hands on me will be shot!'' They all stood back and King walked out with his watch, while Peter found himself done a little browner than he ever remembers to have been.-M J. Post

From the Louisville Courier
The TippecanOe Celebration.
 Lyayette, Indiona, Sept. 3.

L4J0yette, lndt0ra1, Sept. 5. DEAR COURIER:
 There has been grand time upon the battlefield of Tippecanoe to-day. Although the arrangements for getting on the ground were meagre and miserable in the extreme, yet the numer has been variously estimated at from 10000 to 6O,OOO by the black republicans, and 100000 to l25,OOO by the old liners. Never have witnessed a greater display of hoosier beauty; tt seems to be indigenous to this State The Hon. John Van Buren made the longest speech, entrancing his audience by his wit and eloquence for the space of two hours. John Is good looking parsonage of about forty years old. His head Is partially bald, resem- bling ill great degree that of the sage of Kin kerhook, heavy mustache adorns his upper ip-and must tell it, let it ruin who it may, Prince John ignores the use of Christodore's hair dye, and sports it in all its native hue and color, which is of light red When a short distance from him one is led to believe that the Prince had been eating molasses candy and that piece had stuck under his nose.
 The next speaker was John c. Breckinridge whose speech was listened to with marked at tenton. As finished speaker he is far super for to all others present.
 Gen. Crss made one of his happest efforts while Douglas was superior to himself The speeches of these gentlemen were principally devoted to the black republican leaders in Con- gross during the session just closed. Douglas referred to the Kansas difficulty, and said that to the black republican party was this country now indebted for the horrid scenes daily enac- ted in Kansas. For days, weeks months, all was quiet; the citizens had once again began to feel that they were free from danger and re- joiced thereat, that quiet had been restored, when that infamous traitor. Jim Lane, entered upon the fair plains of the territory arousing the people to strife and deeds of blood. Yet all this was necessary to the existence of the black republican party, for just so soon as trou- ble ceases to manifest itself in Kansas, just so soon does freesoism begin to wane and die out But the people were beginning to see through this shallow pretext and would soon put veto upon it.
 For one hour and half the Little Giant held his hearers spell bound and when he sat down three cheers went up for Douglas and Union.
 To the right of where Douglas was speaking, could be seen the form of James B. Clay, as he did his talking

DEPARTMENT STATE,


 SIR: Reliable information having reached the President that armed and organized bodies of men, avowedly in rebellion against the ter ritorial government have concentrated in such numbers as to require additional military force for their dispersion, you will have the militia of the territory completely enrolled and organ ized, to the end that they may on short notice, be brought into the service of the United States Upon the acquisition of the commander of the military department in which Kansas is em- braced you will furnish by companies or regi ments, or brigades or divisions, such numbers as you from time to time may find, on his re- port to you, to be necessary for the suppression of all combinations to resist the laws of the United States too powerful to be suppressed by the civil authorities and for the maintenance of public order and civil governmental the ter ritory.

Col. FREMONT INELIGIBLE.-The black re- pubicans are getting alarmed at the discover ies which are being made touching Fremont's for the Presidency. It is asserted with great confidence, by parties who ought to know, that Fremont was born in Canada, and is, therefore, by the constitution of the United States, ineligible for the Presidency. A
 A great obscurity hangs over his percentage and antecedents, which his supporters have sought to ignore, and the proofs which are com ing in of his Canadian parentage are not little Euq .,s.
