THr HALsBUr FIsHrRY.-The Gloucester vessels
now engaged in the Lalibut fishery the Banks num-
Ter ebout forty sail. They generally ine vessels
OF about ~ tuns, and manned by hardy expsri-
el ced and bold crews of about twelve men each. So
fer TIE fishing has been tOerably successful and few
of the feet have stocked perhaps $1,000 the trip.
The business has been attended, however, during the
pss. Winter with great dangers sufferngs and depr
yations. The crews beside their exposure to all the
hazards Of storms, suffer greatly from cold and prose
cute Oh, II tOilscme occupation amid the most trying
discOmforts. Their skill and experience as mariners
ar, not exercised wholly for their own safety. The
mercantile marine generally enjoys vast benefit from
the presence Of the fishing fleet the coast especially
in inclement weather, when these hardy men whose
home is literally the deep often have occasion TO
render material assistance TO merchant vessels less
familiar thau themselves with the navigation of our
hard ooa.t. For the beneficial influence thus exered
by these Winter fishermen upon commercial inter-
est, they deseTvs bounty from the Government.

An Editor Hung i'm Kansas.

The Evansville Journal says: We learn
from gentleman just come from Green
Castle, Putnam county, that Alf Patrick,
Esq, formerly editor of the Putnam coun-
ty Banner, was hung in Leavenworth by
the Border Ruffians a short time since
The news first came rs rumor, which was
not believed till verified by letter to one
of his relatives. Mr.. Patrick was well
known over the State as an editor. He
was a vigorous and spicy writer, and be-
fore his departure for Kansas was a pro-
slavery man, and advocated the American
cause. After his arrival in Kansas, and he
had an opportunity of observing the course
and conduct of the pro-slavery men there,
he wrote home letters signifying decided
change in his views and detailing the dan
gers he had escaped from holding opinions
sympathetic with those of the Free State
men,. The news is now here, that for hold
ing and declaring his honest opinions, he
has been hung.

W1NEsBUEGH, Sept. 1st, 1856.
DEAR S1R:-You, and your friend are
politically invited to attend Democratic
Mass Meeting to come off at this place on
the 18th inst.
Our political enemies are straining every
nerve to give their meetings tone by mus
tering up large crowds of Women and
Children, DC. so as TO discourage weak
Democrats. We hope that you will use
your influence to bring a large crowd from
your town, to swell our ranks for the
good cause of the "Whole Union" political
and religious Liberty.
With God and Washington on our side,
we hope to beat our enemies and save this
glorious Republic.
We remain in the bonds of Democracy
Very truly yours,
N. F. JOSS, Committee.

MEssRs Joss, KINzLY AND RABER.-I
hereby acknowledge your kindness, in ex-
tending to me and my friend, by your 1'riin-
ted circular, an invitation to atten1a Mass
Meeting of the Democracy of Winesburgh,
on the 18th inst. In answer permit me to
ask you, where is the once noble Demo-
cratic party, which in days gone by, trusted
in her principles to swell her rankss Alas!
how low has she fallen! Has it come to
this, that the party of Jefferson, Jackson
and Wright, is compelled to press into her
service unwilling freemen by committees
of invitation. Once it was only necessary
ty announce meeting and the Democra-
cy rallied, although it was merely ques-
tions of expediency that divided the partier.
But now how does the matter stand 3
Mems hearts are everywhere moving them
by every secret spring to swell the ranks of
Freedom; but you are under the desperate
necessity of seeking out your members by
your appeals to heartless tools through
whose bosom there never passed a thrill of
Freedom.
And now, you will stoop to SANDER the
wives and daughters, mothers and sisters of
American Freedom whom you characterize
as 'hirelings" because, forsooth, by every
pulsation Of their hearts, they inspire free
men with boldness and courage, to meet
the enemies of Humanity and Liberty
But you fear they will discourage weak
Democrats. And doubtless you have rea-
son to be alarmed. There are many yery
yeak Democrats. Many who are too weak
TO swallow the Kansas-Nebraska bill
many who are too weak to swallow those
nauseous laws of the bogus legislature
many who will be too weak to swallow
James Buchanan since he has been meta
morphosed into pro-slavery platform. 1
should not wonder if they should be so dis
couraged as not to make the attempt
Permit me TO inform you that l have re-
solved to vote for John c. Fremont, and
will therefore decline your invitation, and
believe me, my feelings on this subject,
harmonize exactly with those of my
FRIEND,

Mr.. Toombs expressly disclaimed any such

Slavery advocates think they can make any
thing out dripping up these scrutinized and
settled accounts, they are welcome to go
