The UNION NOT SAFE rET.-A great
many well-meaning men voted for Buck
and Breck" on purpose. as they sup
posed, to save the Union, by yielding ev-
erything their Southern masters ask
Certainly the election of Mr.. Buchanan,
or rather the Platform, ought to satisfy
the Southern Hotspurs, but it don't, and
they still urge disunion
Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett, of s. C. has,
since the election Of James Platform, ad-
dressed long letter to Gov. Adams, of
the same State, urging dissolution as the
only security for slavery. He says:
"ln my humble judgment, all true
craftsmanship ia the South consists in
forming CT mbinations, and shaping events
so as to bring about, as speedily as posi-
Die, DISSOLUTION OF THE PRESENT UN-
ION, AND SOUTHERN CosFEDERAcY."
So, it seems those who voted for Old
Buck to save the Union, have fooled
themselves. Dissolution is to go on the
same as if Fremont had been elected
Mr.. Rhett was leading supporter of
Buchanan, and ought to know. What
will those northera dirt-eating editors,
who urged the people to vote for Buchan-
an to save the Union, now have to say
to this new disunion demonstration p
Will they acknowledge they lied 10 the

Overture to Fremont to be the Demo-
cratic Candidate.
Several times during the Presidential
campaign it was stated, rather vaguely,
we believe, that oyertures had been made
Mr.. Fremont to be brought before the
Cincinnati Convention to compromise the
struggle between Buchanan and Doug
las. We had not seen this story in form
quite SO precise and authentic, as the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Democrat Of the
Ist inst
1t has been alleged that Fremont was
rendered the honor of nomination by
the Democracy. This has also been de-

matter, said -" Why do they speak oi

A Cheering Indication.

There is one feature of the protracted
and heated campaign through which we
have just passed, that must be source
ofjust pride TO every member of the Re-
publican party. We allude to the almost
entire freedom from personality that has
characterized theRepublcan speakers and
presses through the whole canvass.
In the exciting Presidential contests of
years past, each party has at times indulg-
ed in personal vituperation of candidates,
to degree that has been painful to its
more reasonable and moderate members,
and made our political organizations and
struggles inviting marks for the trench ant
shafts of foreign satirists.
But at the beginning Of the present
contest, there seems to have been com
mon determination among our friends, to
consider principles, and not men," in
the struggle for Freedom and Free Labor
And in spite Of the many provocations te
an opposite course, they have persever
ed to the end. and have conducted the
canvass in gentlemanly and forbearins
spirit, worthy of the cause in which they
are engaged. While Colonel Fremont
whose high personal character and pri
vate worth are universally known-ha
been subjected to the foulest traduction
neither Mr.. Fillmore nor Mr.. buchanan
has received personal vituperation at tn
hands Of the Republican party. Th
friends Of freedom were contendin9 for
principle, and they showed the strength
of their cause by using other argument
than SANDER, and by refusing to raise is
sues of private character in an emergenc
involving only questions of public policy
The example set by the supporters c
Colonel Fremont cannot fail to have
wholesome and elevt.ting effect upo
American Politics. Let them slway
pursue similar course and they will re
tain, whether in victory or defeat, the re
spect and sympathy of all just and dis
eliminating men, Cincinnati GJzette.

The Great Bet in Massachusetts.

The Boston Times of the 9th gives a
full account Of the payment Of the celebra-
ted bet made by B. P. Poore, of Newbu
ryport, who wheeled barrel of apples
from this place to Boston, Thirty sir miles,
in pursuance OF a wager on the election
which he had lost. The Times says:
Arriral Of 1b'yor Benjamin Perley Poore
aoah that Barrel Of Apples-- Grand Recep-
tiom--Speeches, Dinner, dc.
Yesterday afternoon our city was thu
scene of an ovation that imme easurahly
eclipsed all of the torch light professions,
the Sumner reception and every other
public demonstration connected with the
political campaign that has taken place
in New England The occasion which
callt d out this vast assemblage of people
was the arrival of Ben. Perley Poore,
wheeling on barrow barrel of apples,
which he had lost in wager with Col.
Burbank, the conditions of which wager
are already known to our readers.
The Major left his house in West New
bury, thirty six and a quarter miles from
Boston, on Wednesday morning. and ar
rived at Maiden Thursday night, making
thirty miles in two days. After resting
in Maiden one night, he left that town at
eight O'Clock yesterday morning, and pro-
ceeded on his toilsome journey to the city,
reaching the dollhouse on Maiden bridge
at eleven o'clock. Here he was met by
Messrs. Cutting q Turner, Daguerrean
artists, at No. 8 fremont Row, who solic-
tied the privalege of taking a picture of
the Major, en- costume, with his barrow and
apples. The request was kindly granted,
aud an excellent picture was secured.
Proceeding a short distance further,
the Major and his establishment were
weighed, when it was found that the
whole weight was three hundred and six
ty-fve pounds. The Major weighed one
hundred and eighty-6ve pounds, twelve
pounds less than when he started to full
fill the conditions of his wager. After
these Interruptions, the Major proceeded
without any further incidents until he ar
rived at the canal Brewery, at the Somer-
vile and Maiden bridge. Here he was
received by delegation OF Charlestown
friends to the number of ore hundred, who
bore blue silk banner, on which was in
scribed the follwing: - a

A halt was made here, and the Major
was entertained to some refreshments,
while his friends crowded around with off
erings of congratulations for his noble and
almost heroic adherence to the conditions
of the wager. The company then formed
into a procession and marched through
the main street to the Square in front OF
the City Hail. Along the line of the street
the people crowded the sidewalks and

CANADA Trunk RAILwAY.-The opening of
this great Trunk line from Montreal to Tor
onto took place on the 9th ult. The cit
liens of Montreal raised large amount of
money to celebrate the event in magnificent
style. This line touches all Canada on
the North side of Lake Ontarior. Some Of
the New York North Western towns fear that
this road will draw great deal of trade to
Montreal that has been going for the last few
years over New York Railroads to New York
city. Others believe it will operate as an ex-
tension of the New York trade into Canada and
largely increase the intercourse between New
York and Upper Canada. 1t is an important
event to Canadian farmers giving them an
outlet for their products during the whole
year.
