Free Soil Blasphemv.

Burlingame,o of Massachusetts, late
ly said: "The times demand, aud
we must have, an anti-slavery Con.
stitution, an anti slavery Bible, and
an anti-slavery God"
All three ere against abolitionism,
and therefore it calls for new ones.-
1t seeks to depose the Almighty
from his throfse and place upon it
an abolition God other words
the Devil, who was the first rebel,
and father of abolitionists. The
French, in the frenzy of their revo-
lutionary madness, deifed prosti-
tute-the black republicans would
60 as far, would deprive the Almig h-
ty of his sceptre, and place Satan or
GiddiDgs on the seat of universal
empire. We rather suspect they
will meet with Indifferent luck. We
don't wonder that they want another
God, for they have nothing TO hope
from the God of the Bible, for their
great Captain failed in his attempt
at abolishing the ruler oc the uni
verse, and they are not more likely
to be successful.

the black republicans have gained a

know-nothing papers say, ''better quit
Mr. Buchanan; the elections in Maine,
Vermont and Iowa, show that he can
carry no northern State" And whom
shall We take up? The friends of Mr..
Buchanan in these States made a gal
liant fight, aad have shown the strength
and courage which, in other northern
States less abolitionized, will secure
them a brilliant victory. What did
Mr.. Fillmore and his friends do in the
above mentioned States! They did
nothing. Mr.. Buchanan is giant in
the South. and he has ten times the
strength in the North that Mr.. Fill
more has. MIR. Fillmore has giver
no evidence yet that he possesses any
strength any where. He has nj
friends at the North, OF they supper

that he will carry single State in tn
Union? = MuJreesboro Ncs0s.

How a Banker Failed.

lous! Toward the close OF the en-

DO TELL US!

Since the nomination of candidates
for the Presidency, State elections
have been held In North Carolina,
Missouri, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkan-
sas. Texas, Iowa, Maine and Vermont.
Six of these States have shown them
selves to be in favor of Buchanan and
Breckenridge by decided majorities.
Three Of them have voted the black
ticket, and shown beyond
a doubt that they are for the woolly
horse. What States has Fillmore
carried? Where is the evidence that
he has any strength at all? Are his
friends sufficiently numerous to entitle
them to the name of a party in this
great contest? Surely the people can
now see for whom they ought to vote,
in order to defeat Fremont and Day
ton and save the Union. We ask ev-
ry patriot in the land to look impair
tally at what is passing before him,
and, irrespective of party prejudices,
do bis duty to his country.

The black republican papers are
very much pleased with the aid and
comfort given to them by Senator'S
Bell and Houston. The following is
the extract from the speech Of Hous-
ton that affords them so much COM

"They tell me if Fremont is elect
ed, forty thousand bayOnets will
bristle about the capitol-that the
South, in fact will seceda. Mr.. Pres
ident, scOrn the suggestion! There

be elected by the people, though ]

hand to his breast, made one Of his
most elaborate bows.

New YORK, Sept.

New YORK, Sept. lO.
The Democratic Torch Light Pro.
cession Of last night was the greatest
demonstration of the kind ever wit
messed in this city. The procession
was FIVE miles in length, and it is es-
timated that seventy-fve thousand
persons participated in the festivities
of the occasion. There were fifty
bands of music, and the torches, BAN
ners, and other devices, were to be
counted by tens of thousands. The
streets through which the procession
passed were in a blaze of light fol-
miles in extent. The widest enthu-
siasm was manifested, and at the close
the masses dispersed without any &C.
currence to mar the harmony of the

A GOOD SPEECH.
The admirable speech of John

The admirable speech OF John Il.
Hopkins. Esq, Of Chattanooga, de-
livered in Madisonville, Tenn, on
the 18th ult., has been published in
pamphlet form, and we hope will re-
ceiye q wide circulation. 1t con-
tains truths which should be pressed
upon the consideration of all whose
duty it is to preserve and maintain
the republican institutions under
which we live. We select the fol-
lowing brief paragraph, which enun-
ciates a truth that cannot be too
forcibly impressed upon the public
mind:
"The history of the world teach
es US that civilization and slavery
go hand in hand. In monarchies,
the peasant or serf is the slave of
the aristocracy; and history further
teaches Us that the slavery which is
known to US has never existed in
any other than representative gov
.ernment; monarchies, despotisms and
aristocracies have all opposed it, and
for the same reason, England is al
ally Of abolitionism, and favors The
election of Fremont. Where slave
ny exists, the people are equal; where
it does not exist, they are not equal
because the poor white person INNS
take the place of the slave, and you
thus create different grades in socie
ty, and make your first step towards
a change from democracy to aristoc
racy. From this contact with tn,
freed slave, the man of wealth ma,
escape, but the poor man must sta.
with it. 1t does not enhance tn
wages of the laboring man, but i
reduces the price of labor, by bring
ing in competition with you tn
freed slave, who, while he is accus
toned to labor and can do more O
it than you can, will work for lesf

thoughtless of all but the present

Marriage Of a Dead Man and Live
Woman.


The Trenton Gazette Of August
5th, has the following.
SINGULAR MARRIAGE.-A young
man residing in Bor1entown, N. j.,
who was under engagement of mar
riage with young lady died on
Friday last. Both the gentleman
and lady as we'll as their families,
were firm believers in the doctrines
of the spiritualists, and, notwith-
standing the death of the former,
it was determined that the marriage
should take place between the dis
embodied spirit Of the young man,
and living, breathing body of his
affianced bride. Accordingly on Sum-
day, the marriage ceremony was per-
formed between the clay cold corpse
and the warm, blooming bride.
! 1t is understood that this is in COM
pliance with the directions Of the
spirit of the bridegroom. The de-
votion of the lady to the spirit oil
the memory of her lover carried
her through this ceremony with
out faltering, but it must lead
to unhappiness, for she no doubt con
!. siders herself as the wife of one
whom she shall meet never more
Her heart lies buried in the grave
with him who should have been bel
guide and protector. Among all the
singular things recorded oftb spir-
Iitualists, We have met with nothing
parallel to this.
The young lady was attired in al
the usual bride paraphernalia at The
ceremony, and after it was over the
funeral of tie deceased took place
1t was attended, We learn, by up
wards Of two thousand persons from
Bordentown and vicinity, who haC
been attracted to The spot by a mo-
bid curiosity.
The young lacy acted atthe grave
like one really possessed of an evi
spirit: she raved and flung hersel
into the grave, and was with grea
difficulty borne from the spot to TIT
. residence Of the mailman who sh'
regards as her father-in-law. Sine,
the funeral she has lived at his house
, and at meals, Ii plate, a cup, and {
, portion Of all the condiments U
the table, are set apart for thu
dead man, whose empty chair these
, victims of demonism suppose to b
tenanted BY the spiritual body.
The unfortunate young lady is th'
daughter of respectable parents
, who formerly resided in Burlington
but who have removed to California

from all communication with his own

obliged to make a retreat across
boundless wastes of the inhospitable

Mr. Buchanan and the Ten Cents
Charge.

We believe the more respectable
of our opponents have abandoned
"hs ten cents" charge against Nj.
Buchanan, since they have discov-
cred its utter falsity; but there are
still some who are sufficiently reckless
aud impolitic as to continue circula-
ting the calumny. Hundreds and
thousands of dollars have been Offer
ed by the friends of Mr.. Buchanan,
10 the various portions of the Union,
to any one who could produce a
speech Of bis in which he said stem
cents day was enough for labor
ing man." or anything Of the sort
Notwithstanding the offer of these
large sums, no one has as yet pro-
duced the speech; no one ever will
produce it, simply because it never
has had an existence. The Phila-
delphia Daily News few days since
sought to convey to lis readers the
idea that Mr.. Buchanan had made
some such assertions. We give be-
low an article from the Pennsylva-
MAN in reply to the statement oil
the News. Read for yourselves:
The impression which our contem'
porary desires to leave upon The
mind Of the reader by the above, j:
that Mr.. Buchanan advocated the
adoption of European prices of labor
10 this country. TO this attemp,
we can use no other languange thar
that it is wilfully and corruptly false
Either the News is ignorant of the
facts, or it endeavors wickedly tC
peryert them. Why does not The
News answer its correspondent? h
asks whether Mr. Buchanan eyel
advocated the adoption of the Eu
ropeau prices of labor in this coun
try; and if he did, the correspondent
asks in what capacity and at whaf
time. The News, in reply. says hi
did, but fails to quote single sen
tence from any speech which would
bear such a construction. We chal
lenge our contemporary to furnish
the quotation. We defy them tc
produce the proof. 1t will not dc
for our neighbor to say the speech
of MIR. Buchanan is too long. Lei
him quote any part Of it. Besides
would il not have been more to the
purpose, had our contemporary quo.
