The c-y Of Stop Thief"

The harping OF the N. Y. Tribune, for the
last week or two, about coalitions and bar
gains between the friends of BUCHANAN and
rnLmunn, in p~ansyl~Ania, was intanded
merely TO throw dust in the eyes of the
people, and blind them to a true state of
facts as they exist in that State. GREELY
raises the cry of " stop thief" at the top of
his voice, against the friends of Mr. BUoHAN-
AN, whilst his own friends are quietly making
of with the stolen property. 1t has been
charged, for some time past that there was
a combination between the Fremont and the
FILLMORE men Of Pennsylvania to defeat
the Democracy, both at the State election in
October, and the Presidential election in No
vember. There are several circumstances
strongly corroborative of this charge, aside
from the open and acknowledged coalition
upon the State and Congressional tickets. One
of them is than the Fremonters have not yet
made any nomination of an electoral ticket, in
the State. No ono can suppose that mat
ter of SO much importance would be thus de-
layed, il it were not the understanding that
the Fremonters are to support the FILLMORE
electoral ticket, in case the State election
shows such a union necessary to defeat Mr.
BUCHANAN. In view of all the facts as they
exist, it is impossible to doubt that full
understanding exists between the FREMONT
and FILLMORE factions, that the Democracy
of Pennsylvania are to be beaten, at all haz-
ards. if it Is in their power to accomplish that
result. The J0urnol Of Commerce says that
the following are understood to be the terms
of the compact:
In the first instance, it is agreed that the
Fremonters and Fillmoreites shall combine
TO elect the Know nothing candidates for
Canal Commissioner and the other officers
to be chosen by the Stale at large, as also
the candidates for Congress in the districts
where the Fillmorites are strongest, and
vioe versa where the Black Republicans are
strongest. If the result of the vote at the
State election justifes the measure, it is
then proposed to run double electoral ticket
against Mr.. Buchanan; while, in the contrary
event, the Fremonters will not run any
ticket, but will support the Fillmore electoral
ticket, on condition that they (the Fillmore
slectorS) agree to cast their votes for Mr..
Fremont, in case he gets in the other States
more electoral votes than Fillmore. The
Know-nothings may have the State offices
with their patronage and emolument pro-
vided as q reward for this act of liberality on
the part of the Fremonters. thew support
the Black Republican candidate for the
Presidency. ra -,.-
1t remains TO be seen, whether the voters
ofthe Old Keystone State will allow them
selves to be driven wherever the wire pull
lers of these two parties, for their own selfish
purposes, may choose to draw them.

To GoRDEN TANNER,
O. Z. KooPER, ,
JAMES EDGAR ESQ.,

OF One week ago, yesterday, the Journal
published an account of "the affray" at Bour-
bon, Marshall county, which was most gross
perversion and exaggeration of the facts. OF
this the Jsurnal must have since become
fully convinced, yet lit does not see fit to cor
rect the false impression which it has given
its readers of transaction which it then
deemed to be Of such great Importance.
We would respectfully ask the Journal il
it wishes its readers to understand that such
is to be the settled and deliberate policy
which it intends to pursue?
We hope that there is sufficient regard for
truth and justice yet to be found among the
great mass of our political opponents, to re-
buke such rank deception and dishonesty as
they deserve.

Ths Democratic G.,hsripe At RusbviL,

There was an immense gathering Of the
Democracy at Rushville, on Wednesday, not
withstanding the unfavorable weather, which
is the Black Republican apology for their
short comings. The number was variously
estimated at from twelve to fifteen thousand.
Hon. JESSE d. BRIGHT made the principal
speech. which was regarded by all as g
mastery effort. The various Glee Clubs of
that vicinity entertained the assemblage with
patriotic songs. The "chillness of the atmos-
phere," which ie so killing TO the Fremont
ers and Free-lovers, had no backset upon the
enthusiasm Of the Democracy.
The display at Rushville was very fine
One delegation numbered thousand. Ladies
and gentlemen in uniform on horseback, ele-
CANT chsriots filed with beautiful ladies',
hickory wagons, banners Of all kinds. inter-
spersed the procession. which seemed to be
Of almost interminable length. The most
interesting part of the display was the presen-
tation of beautiful banner by lady, with
an appropriate and elegant address, TO the
young men of the BUcEASAs Club of Rush
vile, which was received with tasteful re-
ply by one Of the members.
Tho meeting was characterized by the ut
most enthusiasm and firm determination
to give decisive success to the Democratic
State ticket.

GrThe National Kansas Committee say
there are to-day thirty thousand free State"
settlers in Kansas, and only about FIVE
thousand "pro-slavery."
What comment is this upon the pretenss
which they have been setting up that the
whole power of the administration and of the
Democratic party had been combined with
the efforts of the border rufians to prevent
the emigration Of the friends Of freedom to
Kansas. They have been continually telling
us that men who were even suspected Of
being opposed to making Kansas a slave
State have been driven from the Territory,
and all avenues effectually closed against
their return. Let Kansas Committees and
letter writer's speak for themselves, and no
further proof is required TO show that these
Black Republican aeitators are the most un-
scrupulous set of Knaves that ever went
unwhipt of justice"

The Congressional Election in the Sixth Dis

LrlcL.
The voters of this (the Sixth Congress
sional District) will soon have to select their
Congressman. The candidates are JAsIEs M.
GREGG, Democrat, and JOHN CoBURN, Aboli-
ZIONIST. They are each regularly nominated
by their respective parties, as the representa-
tives Of their sentiments and principles, and
whichever one of them shall be elected, will
be looked upon as the embodiment of those
views which his party advocates. The per-
sonal opinions of each, form, also, a part of
their political character, and indicate, in some
degree, what would be the course Of policy
which would govern your representative
while in Congress.
MIR. CoBURN is no stranger to the people OF
Marion county. His politics and opinions
are we'll known to them. He is, and das
been, full blooded Know Nothing. He has
been and is Maine Law Temperance man.
He is a square built Abolitionist. He veted
against the present State Constitution because
he said it was too liberal to foreigners. He
voted against the 18th article of said Consti
tuition because it excluded free negroes from
coming to and settling in the State of Indi-
ana, from other States Mr.. CoBURN was the
active editor of the Abolition, Know Moth
ing newspaper which was established by J. P.
CHAPMAN, under the vsrious names of "Chan-
ticlear'' aud Republican" We believe it
died in Mr.. CoBURN's hands, or at least he
was its last reputed editor. His Maine law
opinions in favor of search, seizure, confsca-
ton and destruction, were freely set forth by
him, when he was a candidate for Senator
against Judge ToDD.
From these facts, there is not much diff
Guilty in understanding Mr.. CoBURN's position
and his views and feelings on the subjects
which have sgitated the public mind hereto
fore, and we may add. as an additional fact,
that he is now one of the loudest and most
industrious KANSAS FREEDOM sHRIEKERs in
the State.
1t now remains for those who are opposed
to the principles of Know Nothingism and to
the Maine Law provisions, to say. whether
Mr. CoBUBN is the man to receive their
friendship and support, or whether they will
vote against the man who advocates such
laws and such measures as he does ? We
are at loss to understand how any foreigner
can sustain Mr. CoBURN, after the manner in
which he has heretofore treated them and
their rights.
On the other hand, the Democratic party
present Mr.. GREGG, as their standard bearer,
who honesty, fairly, and sincerely sustsins
their platform and their views, which are in
direct opposition to those entertained by Mr.
CoBuRN. MIR. GREeG is a modest, able and
fearless defender of Democratic principles
and is worthy of the vote of every Democrat
in the District. lie Is not tinctured with any
of the isnss Of the time, but adheres to tho
faith of his fathers and upholds the Union
aud the Constitution. What Democrat will
vote for CoBuRN over GREso We know of
no such men.

Suppressed Passage In the Histoy Of the
Black Republican Convention

Black-Repablican Convention
When Colonel Seymour, A. Stevens, and
Frederick Waterbury, came over to the
Black Republicans to announce the adhesion
of the North Americans to Fremont, M. i.
Townsend. of Rensselaer,, rose and declared
that were 500 foreigners and Catholics in his
ward who would probably vote for Fremont;
but none of whom would do so il the Re-
publicans formed coalition with men who
were disposed to deprive them of their rights.
As soon as the drift of his remarks became
apparent thore was general attempt to pre-
venl his being heard, and the convention was
in perfect uproar. Cries Of "Question," {"
Question" and all manner of noises, ere
resorted to to choke him down.
Mr.. T., however, mounted seat, and re-
NAMED standing until the storm abated.-
he then declared that If the convention was
already in the power of the North Americans,
as it appeared to be from these demoussra-
tons, he as a republican, as well in fact as in
name, would make no, further attempt to
speak.
Mr.. Kaufman entirely agreed with this,
and referred to $4,000 German voters in the
State, who he declared might go for FIRE.

Black Republican Sentiment.

The Ravenna (0hio) Reformer, black re.
publican print, in a recent issue gives utter
ance to the following:
"0ur readers will remember that, in our
last paper, we published speech from Gerrit
Smith, in which he takes the ground that
arms alone will free the slave. If this be so,
what is our duty? Is it to sit still and wait
for some one in Kansas TO begin the war?-
Let Geritt Smith write a call for Reuolu-
tionary Convention, put it in circulation, and
go through the North lifting up his trumpet
voice in calling the people to arms to put
down slavery, and he will find a host rallying
to his standard. Such movement will new
er come from such men as Lane and Robin
son. 1t is not your merely restive and ad-
venturous renegade Democrat who will lead
in fighting for the slave. Abolitionias must
lead in this holy aoar, and it is high time that
the apostle of this armed crusade for freedom
lift up his voice."
In the same spirit the New York Tribune
recommends Governor Chase, of Ohio, to con.
woke the Legislature TO raise an army Of five
thousand men, send it to Kansas to fight the
United States troops. and thus commence
the most deadly and unfortunate fratricidal
struggle the world has ever seen.
The partisans of that faction in Congress
sought to strike down the National Govern
ment hy Withholding supplies from the army.
They have already arrayed one class of
States against another, and in the conflict Of
sections are daily weakening the Union SEN
timent. Their speakers and newspapers are
daily promulgating disunion sentiments; they
display banners bearing upon them but sixteen
stars, instead of thirty-one. Their course
certainly tends to civil war, and yet there are
thousands blind to the terrible consequences
and deluded into the belief that they are act.

We can hardly take up paper in the free

as the above. The fusion between the negroes
and the Republican whites is of such close

poor, miserable, senseless filings thrown out
that the democratic party is sectional party!
The allegation that the glorious democratic

Is an old, stale, free-soil calumny, which

council was held at Franklin, including all the

council. He wanted them To disband and 90

laws, to establish peace, and secure every
man in his rights and property.
Gen. ATCHIsON made a speech. He re-
viewed the ravages of LANES men, the out
rageous conduct of the Aboltionists in driving
pro-slavery men from the Territory, and con-
cluded by saying it was painful duty, yet a
duty he could not evade, to comply with the
request Of the Governor.
Gen. REID said that he came to Kansas
from Missouri, to aid those who were bone OF
