Six EcL1PsEs IN ONE YEAR.--There are to
be six eclipses this year, says an exchange, two
Of the Sun, two Of the Moon, one Of Know No
things and one Of the Black Republicans. The
last two will be total. In fact, neither body
will ever make its appearance again. The e.
clipse of the Know Nothings will be visible in
every part of the United States, and can be
seen with the naked eye. The eclipse of the
Black Republicans will only be visible in the
Northern States that body having never been
seen in the Southern States.--It can be seen
without the aid of q smoked glass The eclipse
will commence on the morning of the 4th day
of November next, and will continue during the
greater part Of the day, reaching the point Of
total obscurity about sunset, at which time the
Democracy win shine out in its full glory. As
eclipses of this kind, this year are Of rare occur
renee, our readers need not expect to find any
notice Of them in the ordinary almanacs. Full
accounts will be found in the papers Of Novem-
ber5. The two bodies which are to be ECLIPSE
ed on the day previous resemble comets more
than planets, though they are not accompanied
by a long tall They have never before made
their appearance in this political armament, and
never will be seen again. n.--Er, vf'

second FizzIe Of the Cadix Fremont
ClyEh,

Last Thursday night the woolly horse wor.
shippers were to have their second fandango--
Great things were to be done. Public expecta-
tion wasat its highest pitch waiting for dis
play ofeloquenco that would astonsh the ma
tives. Thursday night came. The bell was
rang. Some ten minutes afterwards we thought
we would go up and sec what was going on
When we arrived there, 10 and behold! what did
we see? There sat the President of the club,
waiting with impatience to be inaugurated into
his Official position. Rowles, the cute one, sat
by his side, waiting to deliver the address that
McMath and I.ewton had written for him to
speak that evening. Two or three other office
seekers sat by their side, all waiting for the peo-
pie to gather; but the people didn't come They
had to adjourn without single man among
them opening his mouth. The President was
disappointed in not getting to deliver mis- inau-
garal address; Rowles in not repeating the
speech that had been prepared for him; and the
Office seekers came to the conclusion that the
cnthusasmfor Fremont in Cadiz was like his
notes and private securities in Wall street on
the first Of The present month, Jsloio par. When
shall we have another Fremont fizzle?

fellows who can be successfully used by such
political humbags IS himself oearTy out their
own ends and aims He was at Pittsburgh on
the 18th, and after addressing the Know Moth
ing meeting in Allegheny, went over and made
a speech to the Republicans. A correspondent
sends Us long account Of the Republican meet
ing which we regret we have not room for
However we extract thersfrom his notice Of the
performance Of the Lieut. Gov. Of Ohio Our
correspondent says:
"His remarks consisted Of re-hash Of the
same old slang phrases, smutty anecdotes, &c,
for which he has long been so noted. But there
was one thing at which was not little sur
prised. Alter telling the manner in which he
had got the Americans in Ohio completely
under his thumb, he asserted in the most positive
terms that he did not care a straw for either
American" principles or any other principles,
only so far as he might make them subservient
to the Anti-Slavery Platform This was his
first, last and only object. The reason that he
belonged to the American. party in Ohio, was
merely to keep the boys in the traces-and he
had got them trained completely"
Mr. Ford is evidently apeing Barnum. The
principles which carried that distinguished hum
bug so successfully through with his old negro
and woolly horse shows, Mr.. Ford applies to
politics. He should recollect, however, that
Barnum was only successful so long as he kept
his humbuggery to himself When he wrote a
book impudently telling the people how he had
dupcd them into putting princely fortune into
his pocket, he excited the indignation of all de-
cent men, and he was cast off with loathing and
disgust. Mr.. Ford, following in the footsteps
Of his illustrious predecessor not only treats
his Know Nothing followers as fit only to be
made dupes of; but initiates the 'prince of hum
bugs" by public avowal of the arts by which
he has humbugged them. Mean spirited as the
Know Nothings Of Ohio are, we judge they have
self respect enough left to punish and despise one
who publicly avows that he retains his connec-
ton with them to "keep them in the traces" !"
and has got them so completely trained" that
he can hand over their votes to another party
that would not even listen to a committee ap-
pointed by their convention for the purpose Of
having friendly conference. Steu Union.

California for Buchanan.

The -dissolving Black Republicans con-
cede California to Buchanan and Breckenridge,
in advance. They know that Fremont has no
chance whatever of carrying his own State, and
must rely upon strangers, who do not know
him, for success. Thus, for example, the Ma
tional Era published at Washington, Cd. C) the
central National organ Of the Union Discovers,
under date Of July II, 1856, says;--"We think
Freml nt's chances are good for carrying all the
Free States except Californian Stick q pin
there! The editor might havs excepted twelve
or fifteen more Of the Free States, which Fre-
mont has no earthly prospects of carrying. But
we are glad TO see California given up at least
It proves that Fremont Is weakest Of all where
he is best known.

stand NV t,,e Constitution.

Ex-Gov. Ford, of Ohio, made speech at
Worcester, in which he said
"The truth is you have done too much already
for these southern fellows. You have submit
ted to indignities that honorable, hgh.minded
men ought not to submit TO. You have allow
ed them to count five negroes equal to three
Yankees which they claim as mere chattels.-
You ought upon the same principle to count
your cattle, your bank stock and your wealth
generally in making up the basis of your repre-.
sentation You have since the formation Of
this government allowed nine states to come
into the Union on that basis"
This is levelled point plank at the Constitr-
ton! This basis Of representation is part Of
the constitution and longer submission to it is
here set down as an 'indignity!" This is hon
est, at least. 1t brings the question at once
home to every citizen--Are you for sustaining
the Constitution? or are you for abolishing it
and with it the the Union of the fathers? II
you are for the latter, follow Gov Ford and his
party.

Something for POLITICAL Preachers

As some of tho Reverend politicians in this
county, seem hard run occasionally for denunci-
atory epithets against the Democracy in their
pulpits, on the holy Sabbath day, we will assist
them by publishing the following prayer, (Which
they can commit to memory,) for their benefit.
1t was used by their Republican brethren in
oberlin, Ohio, on the last 4th day of July in all
of the churches:-- ...
ooh! God, we know that there is in this land
host Of wicked men, but we ask that Thou
wilt spare the country not for their sakes but
for ours your chosen children. Oh, God! we
pray that Thou wilt curse the STAKEHOLDER in all
his undertakings confound all his plans and
spread terror horror and dismay throughout the
entire South. Curse, o, God, we ask Thee.
with bhghhtning curse, all the Democrats in
the Union; may they in an especial manner feel
the weight of Thy great displeasure. We en-
treat Thee, Q Lord to go to Washington and
kill Frank Pierce; show him no mercy, but
strike him down; also in your righteous wrath
remember and punish with direfil wrath Cass,
| Douglas and Toombs let not one Of their vii
lians escape. We ask Thee. o Lord, to afflict
every proslavery man in Kansas with the lep-
rosy or small poX; and may they after feeling the
pains ofa thousand deaths, be tumbled head
long into He'll, without trial, there to feel ten
thousand strokes on their bare backs, daily in
tiicted by each and every one of the slaves in the
United States. Our Heavenly Father, we ask
Thee to strengthen us in our resolves to make
Kansas Free State at the peril of the Union;
we ask Thee to interpose Thy mighty hand in
our behalfand help US to shiver the Union into
atoms rather than concede to the Southern de-
mons, in the form OF slave drivers one inch of
the disputed Territory. And finally 0 Lord,
we pray that Thou wilt curse all parties (by
whatever name they may be called) except the
Abolitionist of the North, except those men
who would jcopardize the safety of the u
nion for the safety of the slave"
If we were not told in the good Book that it
is only the prayers of the righteous that ayaiIcth
anything in the sight of the Lord, we should
begin to fear, that after the above prayer was
delivered, the good Lord would bring some
plague upon us. Thank God, the prayers Of
hypocritcs availeth nothing.

No doubt Of it! The Union of these states,

The Right Kind OF Preaching.

Rev. Joseph Trimble of the Ohio Conference,
NJ. E Church, lately preached his farewell SER
mon in GAINESVILLE. Could not some Of the DO
litcal clergy in this county advance the cause Of
the Redeemer by following his example? Try
it and see if the cause of pure Christianity does
| not prosper Mr. T. in politics is an an old line
whig.
The aurora of GAINESVILLE thus notices Mr..
Trimble's sermon:---
'One Of the best preachers and best men in
Ohio--on last Sabbath morning preaching his
last sermon, at the Seventh St. NJ. f. Church,
which will, probably, be the end of work Of
four years, that he he has performed in this vi
cnity.
"His last appeal to his hearers was,that, they
should look to the young and teach them the
great precepts and principles ofthe Great Book
and while speaking in this connection, he said
ifhc were statesman--as lover ofhis country,
and his race--upon proper day, and in proper
place, called upon to make an address for the
perpetuity Of American Institutions, he should
choose the incubation of the Holy Scriptures
and the Religion of Christ upon the minds Of
the young, as the theme of his discourse.
"And he said, when men preached politics
and infidelty from the pulpit, instead of Christ
and him crecifed for the sins of men, then
cease to have faith in the stability of my coun-
try
"How. different is this language from the Ian
guagc of thost preacher politicians, who endeav-
or to render Unto Caesar the things and the times
which belong to God! How much this language
accords with the precept ofhim who walked the
corridors ofwarring Empires and preached only
Salvation through Faith in God!
Preachers of all denominations, have been
most successful when they nailed their blood
bought banner to the Cross, Hadn't they bet
ter kcepit there and lot Caesar alon,? Askhis-
tory."

TAX PAYERS READM
Have the Republicans kept their
Promises.

Have the Republicans kept their
Promises.
The people remember how profuse Republ;-
can papers and orators were in their promises of
reducing the taxes, while electioneering last
fall? Have they made good single promise?
No! The taxes have not been reduced red
cent; on the contrary the taxes for State purpo-
ses have been increased. On every 500, the
Democrats LEVIED Siz cents; this year the Repub-
licans have levied ten cents on each one hundred
dollars.
The man who paid one dollar last year for
State purposes, pays this year C-o''e dollar sia-
ty-ag and two-1stras cents! How much less is it
this than last year? Not one cent, but just
TWO-THIRDS more
The levy last year for State purposes wss
$516, 526, 1,2--this year it will be $86o,S78.
35, 4 being an inoeass Of over three hundred
thousand dollars!
We ask the people whether they have not
been gloriously duped by the Fusionists? The
taxes of the farmer and mechanic have been ins
creased instead of decreased! Is this what the
Republicans promised last fall?-Seneca Adver-
ttser.

Faces the Wasic.
ASHLAND, July s, 1856.

The n. Y. Times one of the mos prominent
Black Republican journals in the Union, boldly
defends the pro"slavery votes of Fremont and
Dayton. 1t says:
'The abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia is no part of the Republican platform
It's not a measure advocated by the Republican
party Neither that nor the payment of money
out Of the Federal Treasury, to the Colonization
Society, forms any part of the Republican creed.
Col. Fren,onrs record upon both these schemes is
precisely uhat it should be-"
That has the ring Of honesty about it at leasl
but what do the old Pittsburgh Platform" men
say? Have they also backed down from the abo-
ition of slavery in the District, just as they did
from their resolves abbut welcoming foreign en-
igrants into the country.
There is about as much chance Of slavery
ter to run up hill, yet the Republicans are cla-
morous for the Intervention Of Congress to pre-
vent the people Of the Territory from sanction
ing it, when there is at least of power to do so.
But in the District Of Columbia and around the
National Capitol, where Congress has unques-
toned power over the whole subject, they will
not grant the request of the people that they
may have chance to abolish slavery by popu-
ar vote. That is the record Of Fremont and
Dayton; and the great big black Republican

the great Black Republican Pittsburgh Address
