Fillmore Stock on the Rise.

The nomination of MILLARD FILLMORE
is highly acceptable to the members OF his
party, and according to present indications
he will poll the largest vote of any candi-
date in the field, with the exception of the
Democratic nominee. Every leading Know
Nothing or Wing paper IN the State of New
York has run up the FILLMORE flag. In
Albany, one hund ed guns were fired in hon.
or of his nomination. The Wing member OF
the Legis lature have set apart day for
general rejoicing. Black Republicanism
is losing its charm. The people yet retain
some love of country and some veneration
for the councils of Washingt on. In the
phrenzy and enthusiasm Of the moment,thcy
may at times act imprudently, but the sober
second thought is generally right. We do
not approve FILLMoRE's X. N. views, nor
the platform upon which he stands, but in so
far Us he is Union man, he is and ought
to be more acceptable to the people than
any Sectional abolitonist the Black Repub
licans may nominate. The race fol- the
Presidency will be between him and {
nominee Of the Cincinnati Convention.

On last Sunday evening an interesting
scene came off at boarding house on West

appears that girl who boards there, named
Lizzie Tuttle had been told that fellow
boarder, named William Graves, had been
circulating reports intending TO impeach her
fair fame. Believing that her information
was correct, she armed herself with q cow
hide, and finding Graves in the sitting room
Of their mutual domicil, she proceeded TO in
fiict summary vengeance upon his person,
in shape of sundry and divers blows, direct
ed against any and every exposed or availa-
BILE portion OF the said Graves person. At
ter deal of scuffling and Graves once esca-
ping and being caught by Lizzie, the parties
were separated and the battle ended.
Mrs. Parks had Graves and man nam ed
Frank Green, who was present at the time
arrested for disorderly conduct and brought
before his Honor Justice Milliken, who of.

After Graves was discharged, he asked fol

of assault and battery but the Justice refu-

A Desperate Ga aHne-AtteElpt 10
throw the Election Of President
into tIle House.
The Cincinnati Gazette and other in1uen-
tiaI journals in the Black Republican ranks,
since the Nomination of Fillmore, concede
that, with three tickets in the field, the De-
aaocrats are sure to elect the President in
1855, by an overwhelming majority. The
great object therefore, now is, 70 throw the
election into the House, and to DO this II is
proposed to have two candidates, Chat is one
for the Know Noihings and one for the Ne
publicans1 with but one electoral ticket. A
more despieable abandonment OF principle
for the sake Of power, was never advocated
Every day develops the fact that the Black
Republicans, care nothing for the principles
which they profess. In Congress the other
day. they elected Shareholder assClerks and
i Staus Auctioaser as Door Keeper. Now, oil
though pretending greatabborrence of Sou
,ehern institutions they are trying to bargain
win shareholders for the Presidency.

y1GcrG,


We arc sorry that our ncighbor Of the De-
rocrat, shcuid be SO excited about the Pres!-
dert's Proclamation. The Democrat is in a
dilemma. Il is compelled at last to ackowl.
edge that the Free State party in Kansas did
urgently request the issuing of this docu
mcnt. Now, it takes refuge, by saying that
they asked "a fish and received stone.'-
We claim that they asked for Proclama-
lion and received Just ,chat they Osked for
They prayed to be protected from the inva-
sion Of the "Border Rufli4ins" OF Missouri.
The proclamation forbids all invasion from
whatever point it may be contemplated !;
whether from Missouri or Massachusetts,;
frCm Georgia or Ohio; whether from smear
or remote States" Nothing could be more
comprehensive and explicit. The President
is Chief Executive of government COM
posed OF thirty-one States. The interests
Of every section are to be guarded and the
wrongs of every section condemned. Ac'
cording to the narrow and sectional creed OF
the Democrat lie should forbid invasion from
some States, and permit it from others. Or
in other words, he should be the President
for only one lalf Of the country.
Our opponents have a wonderfully timber
creed. Their moral vision is strangely per-
verted. In their view it is an awful outrage,
most inhuman proceeding, if the people Of
Georgia or Missouri, raise money, buy lead
and arms, and enlist regiments for the Kan
sas War; but il the people here on the Re-
serve, contribute money, and rifles, and am
unition, and furnish men for this same war,
they think it is all right--all praisewoythy
md christian like. Now, because the Pre-.
sident's Proclamation forbids them from en-
goging in this work of reasonable invasion,
they denounce him as cruel and tyrannical
We have no sympathy with the Border
Rufiiains. They are band Of unprinci-
Piled and desperate men, engaged in q work
of treason against the Government, and il
they persist in this undertaking, they should
be treated as traitors and felons. Tne peo-
pie of Kansas are competent to govern
themselves and ifleft to do SO, harmony and
peace will be restored to that now distracted
Territory. Order will take the place of an.
archy, and happiness and freedom be the LOT
of her citizens. But all invasion should
cease, for all inuasion is aorone.
Tho citizens of Missouri and Of Georgia
should attend to their home affaiis, and let
those of Kansas alone. The citizens of
Ohio sh,uli do the s1me. An attempt to
raise regiment in the North, will cause a
corresponding effort in the South Thus
one outrage bcgets another. The result
can only be disastrous. Let then, these in
sane projects on both sides and in every 10
culity be put down--let law and order pre-
vail, let the constitution and government be
respected, and very soon will the Kansas
strife be among the things that were, bat are
not.
