~ Mr.. George FOlts, of Frankfort, N

~ Mr.. George Folts, of Frankfort, N.
Y. addressed letter to Gen. F. E. Spinner,
Representative in Congress from N. Y, in
which, with other Buchanan doctrines, he
made use of the following language:
Il hope to see Kansas admitted into the
Union as free State, but it will be in the
hands of those who settle Kansas on the
soil to decide that matter.
To which Gen Spinner in reply, address
ed him as follows:
"The whole Kansas iniquity is a fraud
and an unmittigated lie, and was so from
its very inception; and its friends and devo-
tees continue topropagate the falsehood, now
that its utter hypocrisy has become apparent
to every intelligent mind. say to you that
those who settle on the soil have not been,
and will not be permitted to settle this mat
ter; the bona fde settlers are prohibited by
law, on pain of being treated and punished
as common felons, from even discussing the
question. cleft to deciden Shame, oh,
shame The law organizing the Territory
never intended any such thing as leaving it
to the people to decide.
'Under the specious plea of Popular Sow
reignty it sent into the Territory Cover
nor, Judiciary, and Marshals, appointed by
the Federal Government here, and who
were all selected with especial reference to
this very question of Negro Slavery, against
the will of the actual settlers; and then
this Pro-Slavery Government permitted, if
it did not instigate, horde of armed ruff
fan borderers to invade the Territory, and
force upon its peaceful people laws more
odious and despotic than would be tolerated
for a day in any other part of the civilized
world, and these pretended laws are now
being executed by the very rufians who en-
acted them by force of arms, with the sane
ton of the Federal Government, with rapine,
arson and murder in their train, upon peace
able, unoffending citizens of the Territory;
and in all these crimes, the murderous rob
bers and implaceable Pro-Slavery despots
are sustained and applauded by Northern
"doughfaces.
"But believe me, as true as there is Just
God, this wrong will be avenged.
"And now for the remedy. The people
must rally to the coming contest and wrest
that power, which they have grossly abused,
from the hands that now hold it, and con-
ide it to others, that will bring the Govern
meut back to the Jeffersonian idea of De-
mocracy. Should this fail, no true man
would be any longer safe here from the as
saults of the arrogant Slave Oligarchy, who
would then rule with an iron hand.
"For the Free North would then be left
the choice of a peaceful dissolution of the
Union, civil war which would end in the
same or an unconstitutional surrender of ev-
cry principle held dear by freemen. Come
what will, let others do as they may, shall
never yield to the last. Everything else
may 90 before 1 will consent to surrender
the inalienable right of every citizen-Free
Thought and Free Speech.

very respectfully yours,

Hear the Southern Democracy on Slavery
The Richmond Eaqairer, a leading Bu-
-chanan paper in Virginia, discourses thus
eloquently on the doctrine avowed by the
Buchanan Democratic party 1t is the
same that is now using the bullets and bay
.onets of the nation to exterminate the Free
State men of Kansas. Read:
@Make the laboring man the slave of one
man, instead of the slave of society, and he
would be far better of.
1.-TWO hundred years of labor have made
LABORERS A PAUPER BANDITTL
FREQ society has failed, and that which is
not free must be substituted.
-a "FREE SOCIETY IS A MON
STROUS ABORTION, and Slavery, the
healthy, beautiful and natural being which
they are trying unconsciously to adopt.
.'The slaves are governed far better
THAN THE FREE LABORERS OF
THE NORTH are governed. Our negroes
are not only BETTER OFF as to physical
comfort than Free Laborers, but tier NOR
al conduct is better.
e.We do not adopt the theory that Ham
was the ancestor of the negro race. The
Jewish slaves were not negroes; and to con
fine the jurisdiction of slavery to that race
would be to weaken its scriptural authority,
for we read of no negro slavery in ancient
time. SLAVERY BLACK OR WHITE
Is NECESSARY.
''Nature has made the weak in mind or
body slaves. The wise and virtuous
the brave, the strong in mind or body are
born to command. aMen are NOT
born entitled to EQUAL RIGHTS. 1t
would be far nearer the truth to say that
some were born with SADDLES ON
THEIR BACKS, and others BOOTED
AND 1SPURRED TO RIDE THEM
AND THE RIDEING DOES THEM
GOOD. THEY NEED THE WHIP,
THE REINS, THE SPUR. = > = Life
and Liberty are not inaIicnable. :
THE DECLARATION Of INDEPENCE
Is EXUBERANTLY FALSE AND
FALLACI0US.

CHARLES G. LoRING, an eminent member
of the Boston bar, and an old line Wing, has
published letter declaring himself for the
Republican candidates, because, among other
reasons, he believes that the future peace
and honor of our country, if not the ultimate
salvation of the Union, depend upon the
election of Mr. Fremont.
The St. Louis Republican says that errors
have been discovered in the official canvass
in Missouri, in the vote for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, which elects Jackson, Democrat, by
ninety-one majority over Newland, the Fill
more candidate. The Legislature will cor
rect the error, undoubtly, by giving the office
to Jackson.-The rest of the State ticket is
elected by majorities ranging from five to
six thousand.

WHAT THEY THINK OF Us.-The Rich
mond Examiner, Mr.. Buchanan's chief or
gan in Virginia, pays the following delicate
compliments to Northern enterprise and free
labor
We can bring the capital employed in
commerce South when we please. We can
transfer Manchester and Birmingham and
Lowell to the South. But we would not
have your rich, vulgar, licentious bosses, and
your brutal, ignorant and insubordinate fac
tory hands in our midst, for all the wealth
of "Ormus and of Ind" We are as rich as
we care to be. We would not exchange
our situation for the vulgar sensualIity and
brutality of the @qau0eaur," the coarse par
venues, the millionaire cotton factories and
groceries of the north or England, much less
for the countless millions of paupers and
criminals who lift up and sustain the cow

Only two sides.

HENRY WARD BEECHER, in a speech at
the Tabernacle, New York, said:
When you cast vote for Mr. Buchanan,
for Mr. Fillmore, or for Mr.. Fremont vote
as you will, though there were an hundred
candidates and an hundred parties there are
only two sides. When men make a ques-
ton, there may be dozen sides to it, but
when God Almighty makes an issue you
have got to stand up to the rack and every
vote tells "aye" or ''no." God has furnish
ed us this question to test our piety and our
patriotism; vote as you please but every
vote for Buchanan or Fillmore, goes straight
as ever rifle bullet went to the heart of lib
erty, and every vote cast for Fremont is a
bullet into the heart of Slavery.
He had some serious objections to the
Cincinnati platform, and that peculiar plank
in it which Mr.. Buchanan had avowed him
self to be, to whom he objected as to the an
nointed leader Of the South. Of the late
Mr.. Buchanan personally he had nothing to
say; but of him, as the lineal descendant of
Mr.. Pierce-he hoped he had not descended
far-of Mr.. Buchanan, as the simulacrum
of the viii of the intentions of the South,
might his hand shrivel like Latimer's in the
flames before it should be cursed by letting
it cast vote for him.

story of her wrongs, until he was so over

some moments articulate a word. The

Additional about the Niagara disaster


The following we copy from the Chicago
Journal of Friday evening:
The steamer Arctic, Capt. M'Kay O
Clements Steamboat line, arrived at thi:
port this morning, from Port Washington
having on board Capt. Miller of the Inflated
steamer Niagara, his first mate, part of the
crew, and some 25, of the rescued passengers
The hulk of the Niagara fioated about eight
miles below Port Washington, and sunI
within mile and a half of the shore in be
tween six and seven fathoms of water. The
arctic left Port Washington last evening
at o'clock, and the general opinion theT
was that not over so passengers has beer
lost.
Mr. Clark, the steward of the Niagara
is given up lost. In addition to the name;
published yesterday, as saved, we give the
following Francis Macardon, porter, Rob
ert Flett and Roderick Fadyean, decl
hands.
The Press of Saturday morning has the
following:
In regard to the origin of the fire nothing
definite is known, but all of the crew that We
have seen agree in the same statement that
the flames first came from the after hatch
of the freight hold, and not from the furna
ces or engine room. From that it would
seem that the fire proceeded from something
combustible among the freight, or was set
in that hold by design.
A story is told, but with what amount Of
truth we are unable to decide, that the Cap.
tain was apprised sometime ago that an
attempt would be made this trip to burn
his vessel. Captain Miller had not come
to the city yesterday, having remained at
Ozuakee, but is expected here by the arctic
this morning. The Niagara was four or
five miles from shore, and about the same
distance from Ozaukee Port Washington,
when the fire broke out. 1t was nearly an
hour before assistance reached them. The
Dan Marble, with her boats, pick
ed up number of persons in the water.

The Hour and the NAN.

The following lines are from "Signa
Fires" just published, anonymously, whic
is attributed to WHITTIER:
Pale Freedom in her leaguercd camp
Her forehead with its blood-sweat damp,
Sits by the willows dropping low,
Beside the Kansas mournful flow;
A childless Mother in distress,
A widow in the wilderness,
Her children fied-or by her side,
In the young bloom of strength and pride,
Fall, bleeding for her sake-and died;
SmOte down by rufians foul with Crime
The eraseless blot of every crime.
All round her, over plain and dell,
Roars the red fire of Slavery's hell;
One lurid blast-whose volumed swell
Has mown her goldest harvest down;
Devoured the homes Of Lawrence town,
And swept the cherished rights of Man
Into black ashes where it ran.
Missourfs dregs of william blood,
The old Palmetto's traitor brood,
And Georgia's rufiians-with the scum
OF all their Southern scoundreldom-
Sped on by Northern slaves and knaves,
Who have defled their Fathers graves;
And cast the taint of bestial shame
On their dead Mothers sacred name
More foul than even the "ravening" Sire
OF their dark spirits could desire
Devour that goodly land like fire,
And blacken deeper the dark page
That bear the crime-blots of this age,
BY deeds whose meanneSs would debase
The horse thief Pawnee in his chase,
And whose sheer horror to behold
Might turn the prairie WolPs blood cold.
While Freedoms sons whose blithe advance
Gave life to all the broad expanse,
Who planted in the virgin soil
A glorious future by their toll
Are singed and scorched by that red hell
Where waits the leader born to queu
Its burning march, and trample out
The fell fiame-charging with shout
Not where the great Dome lends her flag
To swathe the whelps of Slaverys bag
And towards sneak with bludgeoned hand
To smite the purest of our land;
Not where the White House-once home
For laureled honor-has become
A den of thieves from law exempt,
The vortex of words contempt.
Not in the cofie ranks Of those
Who count IMPRESSIONS foes their foes,
Whose leaders old gray head has on
No wreath, from grateful Freedom won;
Nor in that small and chosen fold,
To alien-hate and Slavery told.
Whose moral wisdom, faint and dim,
Stands sponsor as their patronym.
No! But the South, whose poisoned lees,
And bitter scum, flow off with these,
Has left for us the pure red wine
OF her best blood of ''auld lang syne"-
FREMoNT the Leader-born to quell
The insurgent fires of Slayery's hell.
He comesl thank God, we wait no morel
ssHurrahp p the wide air feels the roar
of that loud cheer which millions pour,
Who mingle in the fiery charge
Across the Prairie's burning marge,
To tiample out the invading flame,
Or backward scourge it whence it came
To wipe the forehead, torture-damp,
0fFreedom in her rescued camp,
Replant upon the blackened sod
Her golden seeds for Man and God,
And rear again her fruitful vine cline,
Broad powered. where millions might re-
And the great Future glad and free,
Shall celebrate her jubilee.
