function of party, united in giving him a eon,pli.
mentary dinner, at the Bay State House, on
Thursday evening on the occasion of his propos-
ed removal from the city to Cambridge The en-

guests, embracing several of our most prominent

SENATOR WILSON'S SPEECH, at the Broadway
Tabernacle, New York, on Saturday evening LAST
is one of the ablest of the campaign. The fol-
lowing extract is from that portion of it in which
the General paid his respects to Gov. Floyd of
Virginia:
" Gentlemen, we have been told within
few hours, by an Ex-Governor of the Ancient
Dominion, in Wall street, that there is bond
of union existing between the supporters of
James Buchanan and Willard Fillmore. Cap

600 visitors to the National Agricultural Fair
to-day. $1,000 were taken for single tickets.
Among the distinguished visitors were Henry
Wilson of Mass, and g. w. p. Gusts of Va.
The latter gentleman made an excellent adj
dress at the dinner given. The great scene Of

hunkers of the North, to effect the election of
Mr.. Buchanan, which he deems much more ju
dicious step to bring about disunion than for
South Carolina to attempt to walk out of the
union alone, now. In case of the election of Ere
mont, which he fears is highly probable, Brooks
thinks it will be the most expedient time for the
South, under his lead to resort to the oh-threat-
ened remedy of open rebellion against the gov
eminent, BY marching TO Washington, and selz
ing upon the treasury and national Achieves.
But unfortunately for Brooks, he would be under
the necessity of marching " through the enemy's
country" in order to get at the treasury, as the
great bulk of it happens to te safely stored in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, &c.
Hear Brooks further;
Now fellow citizens, want the South to
come square up to Mr.. buchanan. Let us do
our whole duty. Let us test the experiment
of our friends, and if that fails, then we can
with the mole grace ask them to adopt our
counsels TOR the future. tell you that the
issue must be made. I am by no means conf
dent Of the election of Ifr. Buchanan. l think
IL probable that John c. Fremont may be the
inert President. With the platform on which
he goes into power, with $50, 900, 900 at his
control, with the Army and Navy at his Com.
mand, what is to be done to you when all
these elements of power are in the hands of
8 dangerous, bad man:
tell you that our hope is alone in the South,
and the only mode of making that hope avail.
able is for the South by some act to effect the
dissolution of the american Union. And l
say this, that if John c. Fremont is elected
President of the United States, our people
ought to have sense enough to know that the
issue is upon them, and cannot be avoided.
When the difficulty is upon you land be-
ieve you will avoid it to the very verge Of hon.
Grand you are compelled to meet it,take the
philosophy of Shakespeare, and, "from the
nettle, anger, pluck the flower, safety" $50
and meet at half way and you lob it of its
terrors. And as the dissolution is to come,
think you ought, as sensible men, take a
running start, and hit the first blow. Now,
fellow citizens, l do not care what may be the
effect at the North We have good friends
there. There are good men there whom l
love and respect-men who are patriots but
l tell you they are but white spot on the
pavement of black-5ut an oasis in the desert
| speak on my own individual responsibility;
# Fremont as elected President Of the United
States, am for the people IN their majesty riS-
ing ADORE the lac and leaders, taking the pot0-
er into their o,on hands, going by concert not
by concert, and laying the strong arm of South

ExRAvAGKNoE.-That sterling sheat, the
New England Farmer, which ought to be read
at every country fire side in the state, has an
article on the costly statue of Franklin lust
set up with unparalleled display by the men
of Boston. 1t proceeds to inquire what poor
Richard would really say TO his worshippers
could he return in the body and once more
walk the streets OF Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. What rebuke would he find
severe and singing enough upon the fact that
the foreign imports into New York alone are
now amounting to $50, 900 zoe year What
would he say to see a trader advertise lace
scarf for $1,000, as one is now doing; or a
lace at 500 yard, and only one tenth of
yard wide at that,-capes at 5000, snd Jets at
500? One dealer offers . bridal dress for
$1,000, as if the couple shonld begin life with
gross eXtravigance. Shawls from 500 to
$1,000, silk gowns at 800, bonnets at 5000,
and Russia sables at $500, would all meet
the eye of the old philosopher as he surveyed
the ladies of these cities. He might well adj
wise that while his teachings were so utterly
disregarded, it would have been as well to
have his bronze statue still in its native ores.
This exaltation of dead philosopher by
people that habitually disregards his pyiloso-
ply, shows the Unsuitable appetite of this gem

The difference between Kanzas under Shan
non and Kanzas under Geary, appears to be
this; Under Shannon, the motto and prac
tice of the Border Rufiian invaders was, Steal
yourself horse, or for that matter a COW or an
OK, anything Border Ruffian wants which
Free State man happens to have though.
as the Border Rufians were migratory race,
who, as soon as they had robbed and eaten out
one neighborhood, removed to another, it was
horses that they priced most, and were most
certain to steal Take it, and if the owner OBJ
jects shoot him. Such was the motto and
practice under Shannon. Under Geary. the
motto and practice of the same class is, Swear
yourself horse. Any Border Rufian. it
seems, who happens to see horse or ANYTHING
else that he wants in possession of a Free
State man, has only to depose that it once was
his, and has been at some indefinite place and
time taken from him by Free State men. and
Marshal Donaldson at once delivers over the
wished.tor article to the moving Ruffian with
out deigning to hear a single word by way of
rebutter from the Free State possessor, or to
listen TO any evidence he may produce, that
the horse or other article is his. Where G ov.
ernor Geary and Marshal Donaldson get their
law for this summary method of supersedrng
the ordinary courts, we are not informed
probably from the same source whence Mar.
shall Donaldson derived his authority for de.
livering over his posse to Sheriff Jones for the
purpose of sacking Lawrence
Of the two methods, stealing yourself
horse and swearing yourself a horse, the lat.
ter seem altogether the safest and most con-
venient. The Border Rufhans who under
took to steal horse, might be shot in the OPP
Grafton; whereas, swearing himself horse
is perfectly safe, while the result is quite as
effectual. 1t is the ease and perfect safety
with which the border ruffian are enabled un
