Pennsylvania.

1t seems 10 be conceded that Demoe-
raey(s) and Rufianism have carried
this State. Still, from the reported ma
%jorities of the different counties, we can
not so figure up the result, but wait anx-
iously for official returns. The follow
ing extract from a private letter from
Beaver Co., shows some of the means
resorted to, to control the election. Its
correctness is vouched for
Yesterday morning, (0ct. 49, Cas-
sius M. Clay related in Beaver, that the
day before he was stopping at the Mo-
nongshela House in Pittsburgh--James
B. Clay was stopping there at the same
time-s gentleman calls and enquiries
for Mr.. c. He is sent to G. NJ. C.'s
room, and tells Mr.. Clay that Bishop
Hugh's gave him authority to say that
he any amount Of money in his posses
sion, for the success of the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania. and the election
of Mr.. Buchanan. Mr.. Cassius M. Clay
told him he had mistaken his man. This
is true.
"'Thirty five Irish voted in Beaver
that we're not known to be in the town
before. All the disposable wealth
of the government, all the Catholic pow

us, and we are borne under, and
it will be taken as an Endorsement of
President Pierce's Administration"

energy, confident that victory awaits
them on tie 4th Of November.

Banished From Missouri.

Stringfellow, the rattan, finds that
sCme of his procedures return to "plague
the inventor" He has tried to Danish
Free State Kansas men, and now he is
himself served with a summary "notice
to quit" Missouri.
The Missouri Democrat, of the 18Th,
says:
n gentleman who arrived in this city
from Weston last Saturday, says that
the indignation meeting of the citizens
of that place had been held, at which
the Punishment of Stringfellow from
Weston and Platte county had been re-
solved upon. The circumstances which
gave rise to this proceeding were these:
A merchant of Weston, by the name of
Rockwell, some time ago sold ont his
stock of goods to a finn known as that
of Perry & Walker. These gentlemen
in the exercise of their commercial lib
erty had sold a quantity of -four to GER
tain parties in Kansas. This fact hap
pening tn become known to a body Of
regulators in Platte City, an armed ex-
pedition of about one hundred men
issued from that place and proceeded to
Weston, with the avowed purpose of ar.
resting and hanging Perry, whom they
accused of being an abolitionist. On
reaching Weston, they at once placed
themselves underline command of String
fellow, and marched to the store of the
parties against wi ON they had sworn
summary vengeance. Mr.. Perry was
arrested, and assured that he should be
hung. Upon this, Mr.. P. appealed to
the people of Weston for protection aud
justice, and the result shows that he did
not calculate in vain upon their sense of
right. As soon as these circumstances
became generally known, a public meet
ing was called. Mr.. Perry was released.
and the party from Platte City ordered
to leave within two hours, or abide by
the consequences. They then proceeded
to dispose of the case of Gen. Stringfel-
low, whose course in Kansas difficulties
they denounced most Indignantly. and
concluded by passing a resolution requir-
ing him to leave The town and country
forever. giving him FIVE days TO settle up
his affairs.

Old Punk

F. P. Blair, in his letter TO his neigh
bors, makes the following happy hit al
the idea of "Old Buck" In aiIuding to
the flag which the Democracy" had
raised in sight of his house. he says:
at now spreads IFS folds to the inland
breeze from an hickory a hundred feet
highl If its flagstaff had been elevat-
ed upon the summit of this noble tree as
it grew and hourished, with all its leafy
honors; on its free mount that overlooks
the headlong fall of Anacostia, it would
have been a fit emblem to awaken recol-
l~ections of the illustrious chief with
whose glory its name is associated. But
it was cut down at the instance of the
city oficials-its branches Topped, and
dragged from its wild and airy height
along the dusty thoroughfares hoisted
By ropes on the highway and crowned
with the skull and horns of an old Buck!
There the imagination associates it with
the idea of a deaths head and gibbet.
What an emblem to be exalted above
the flag of the country, and on the hiek-
DRY tree which has given its name TO one
of its greatest, heroes. Of all amin ais,
the deer is the most timid; and although
the head of the buck is at one season of
the year armed with a multitude of
points as sharp as spears, it never con
fronts an enemy that it can escape with
flying feet. The grand antlers are the
mere emblem of warlike proves, and
evidence only of that species of gallant
ry that distinguishes the stag and gives
to a class of gentry of our species the
name of bucks, young and old.
The old buck is a sort Of old bachelor,
like his fellow of the woods, addicted TO
no mate. and whose insignia of horns
have, time out of mind, been held to
characterize his pursuits. Is this ensign
to be exalted above that Of the country,
and chosen to exempliiy the virtues of
n who aspires the Chief M~agistracy?
If the browning virtue be attributed to
The coronet which distinguishes the old
bucks head, and which now take the
place of liberty cap on Democratic ban,
ners it should be remembered hat it is
a virtue that comes and goes with the
seasons. An old bucks honors begin
to bud and grow in the balmy spring
ime-they are in the velvet in June,
and throughout tie summer. This
smooth covering is slipped off in Octo-
Der. In November their vitality is bligh-
ted, and in March the crown Of weather
beaten antlers drops from the old bucks
brow, and he hides, droops in solitude,
by all his fellows. The hun
of the Alleghanies and of our from
tiers will apply this piece of natural his
and interpret its augur."

Unparalleled Outrage Upon Free State
Men in Kansas

A dispatch received from St. Louis
yesterday, dated Lecompton, K. T., Oct.
lOth, gives a list of the names of the
Free State men arrested by Gov. Geary
and confined under the charge of mur-
der in the first degree. The prisoners
number about one hundred men They
have been indicted by a jury of Border
Rufians, and are guarded by a battalion
of Southern invaders.
The ofense of which these men are
guilty, was that of defending their own
and their neighbours lives and property
against the attacks of the Border Ruff
Ii 5 They had met them in battle and
had whipped them. They killed and
wounded some, and lost some of their
own numbers in the conflict. They were
forced to this by the highest law of ma.
ture-the law of self preservation. They
had borne outrage, robbing. arson and
massacre beyond ordinary human indu
rance. At last they turned at bay upon
their murderous prosecutors, and sound
" threshed t EN- in several bloody con
aicts. The shield of law had been with
drawn from them and spread over their
enemies. The Territorial Government
was in the hands Of Missouri
while that of the U. S. troops was in &C.
tive conspiracy with the invaders.
The Free State people were compelled
to choose between the alternatives Of flee
ing from the Territory en- masSe, to es-
cape their vengeful prosecutors, or to
take up arms in self defence, and fight
them. They chose the latter. Their
Anglo-Saxon blood forbid them to run
and they gave battle. In six contests
with the pirates they came of victorious.
And when Geary reached Kansas the
Free State men had tnreshed the Williams
out of two-thirds of the Territory. Had
they been let alone a fortnight longer
the last Rufian would have been put out
Of Kansas and peace restored. At this
juncture ONE G~eary-Judas like, with
honied words on his lips, but murder in
his heart, to betray them into the hands
Of their deadly foes. HIS first act was,
to issue accordingly, high sounding Pro-
clamation. His second, to employ the
the United States troops in dispensing
and capturing the Free State men. His
third, oenroll the invading Rufians with
the Territorial Militia, under United
States feed and pay!
The very individuals whom the Free
State men had beaten, in open stand up
fight, taken prisoner, and liberated un
der promises that they would no more
modest the Free State inhabitants, are the
treacherous scoundrels that Geary has
hired TO stand guard over those Free
men who SUR endered to the U. S.
