COUNTY CONVENTION,

Ga Saturday the Republicans hold their
county convention at Bowling Green. Busi-
ne's Of much Importance is to be transacted,
ru | there fore full attendanc is desirable.
All that is necessary to secure success is a
full and fair expression of the public will, 1t
j. not for US 10 dictate as 10 nominees, or the
m.na'r in which they should be selec-
ted. The people must see that this is prop
crIy done, and we will endeavor to do our
part towards securing the election of the men
casa for the different offices.

A FiZZIc.

The Fillmore men of Toledo issued loud
and long call for meeting on Tuesday night,
Mr.. Putnam, Of New York, and Mr.. Others
were announced as speakers, but the former
only arrived, According to the Times, the
meeting gathered amid the burning of tar"
Poetic thought A good sample of the man
ner in which the Uack Republicans would be
burned if either of two certain men should
be elected to the Presidency. "Pulnam was
cheertd as much by foes as friends" Happy
man After the speech, the little party was
converted into band to serenade the Times.
Pointed termination to a glorious fzzle !

Eg-The citizens of Portage, having exhaus
ted all other means for keeping off the ennui
during these hot and hard times, are disposed
to have little sport at the expense of those
who are willing to submit to be sacrificed to
public service. For proper understanding
of the following advertisements, therefore, it
is necessary for the reader to know that our
friend Pechin is master of horseology, and is
entirely competent to do all that is represent
ed, though he may find some diseases about
old political wheel horses that will tax his
skill and cause a reference to thu. books.
The second advertisement may be thus ex-
planned The capital landlord of the Kuaggs
House and our friend Roller are generally
wide awake, but it seems that some remarks-

Ey-Arrison, the torpedo man, has been
found guilty of manslaughter. 1t is difficult

There were ffty-six persons killed and
seventy eight wounded, by the recent COLI

committed suicide, and the engineer has been

EE Efforts are now being made by the
friends and expounders of the Cincinnati plat
form to extend slavery over the territory Of
Nebraska. Who says the question of i'm
portance now is not whether slavery shall be
extended or not?
Eg-The Fillmore papers have been and
still are unscrupulous in their charge that
Fremont is Catholic. We have never been
in the habit of making religious opinion a
test of fitness for office, and trust we never
shall do so but these unprinciped doughfa-
ces have told so many willful falsehoods upon
this subject, that it has been thought proper
by Revs. Henry Ward Beecher, of N. Y, and
J. W. French, of Washington, to f1atly con.
tradict the report. Still they persist in the
charge.

l3y We have received the following from
DR.. Conant, being an addenda to our state
nent of the position assumed by him with ref
erence TO the celebration of the 4th in Mau-
NEE City:
Mr. EDITOR: l wish to affix a supplement
10 your statement of our celebration on the
All inst.
ask 70 endorsement of my sentiments
If Mat was not found in the proceedings Of
that day, ask only a candid consideration
of the state of our country.
Is it fee country? Can the citizens,
Throughout the land, pursue happiness with
safety For the well informed, these ques-
tions require no answer. The wailings of
the innocent, oppressed citizens come to us,
on every western breeze.
What is the cause of this state OF things
but tyranny in the administration Our ma
lional administration is corrupt. Its whole
power and patronage is prostituLcd to subdue
the spirit of liberty. Shall we sing hozan-
nahs under the slave drivers lash? Shall
the degenerate sons of noble sres celebrate
the deeds of their ancestors Or would it
not be better TO initiate them To rise and
resist the lawless expressions Of the slaveoc-
racy? Our ancestors, with far less cause,
did not long hesitate.
But, Oh 1t was King George that then
oppressed.
But tyranny is not confined to crowned
heads, The possession of power is corrupt
ing. E.ernal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty, Those who will not guard her shrine de-
serve 10 be slaves.
Our celebration was to seek a remedy for
our grievances, to encourage each Other in
our exertions, 10 roll on the car Of reform
and 10 rouse the spirit of freedom, which we
feared was dormant, if not buried in plans
for the accumulation Of wealth.
And the result proved, that we did not
reckon without our host. Many, that could
not have devoted some other day to the OBJ
ject, united with us, and our toasts were seas
oned 10 the taste of the meeting. We sepera-
ted with the resolution that the United States
ought to and should be free. H. G.

YELLOW FEVER AT HAVANA AND MATANzAs.
The ship Lady Franklin, from Matanzas
for Trieste, spoken at sea some days since by
the steamer B ack Warrior, arrived at Quar-
antine on Sunday last, with nearly the whole
crew disabled by yellow fever. Matanzas is
usually very healthy port, and the captain
of the Lady Franklin reports that no fever
prevailed there until recently, and not until
several vessels had arrived there from Havana
having yellow fever on board From Havana
vessels the fever first spread among the ship
ping at Matanzas, and then into the town.
The officers and crew of the Lady Franklin,
who were alive on their arrival, were sent to
the marine hospital at Quarantine, and the
vessel was sent by the Health Officer far
down the bay for safe anchorage.-N Y
Herald,
THE AFFAIRS OF KANsAs.-The news from
Kansas the other day is rather important
and interesting, 1t is said that the United
States troops have Suppressed all armed forces
in the Territory, whether abolilonists or
pro-slavery men. If men will go there to
settle the county it is very well let them
go but if they go there to make Kansas the
battle field of slavery they are on a FOOLS err
rand and will be disappointed If they go
to settle the county let them carry their wives
and children and negroes with them, and
they will have a stake in the country which
will keep them there. If they 60 to fight
they must have very poor opinion of the
strength of the Federal Government In
stead Of fighting the abolitionists they may
have to fight United States troops, and had
better look little into the doctrine of the
high treason GreenviHe S. C) Patriot.
FEARFUL.-On Monday night last while
little Miss Carroll was dexterously proceed
ing with her exercises in the cage Of the leop-
ard at Baily's circus, that ferocious beast, be-
coming wearied of her persence, pounced up
on and bit her once or twice, causing the
child to turn her back ulon the animal for a
moment and utter slight scream. The faith
er and mother of the cnild were both close
at hand, and al once reduced the beast to do
clity. All were highly excited, and a gen
eral disposition manifested to leave the seats,
the very worst thing that could be done un
der such circumstances. The child was ap
parently in imminent danger, and the cool.
ness of those having charge Of her is all that
saved heI from being torn to pieces. We
have no fancy for seeing children turned in.
to such dens. lfmen are fools enough TO en-
ter the cages, why let them do so, but to
taain girls to such monstrous and unnatural
work is opposed TO our taste.-Lerington No
