The Southern supporters of Buchanan are ac-
tive in the advancement of their scheme to fill
Kansas with armed Settlers" and then by a
| sort of coup d etat enforce Slavery upon it.
Under date of June 21st David Il. AtchisolI,
William II. Russell, Joseph G. Anderson A. G..
Boone, B. F. Stringfellow and j. Buiord, as the
leaders in the Border Ruffian cause, published
an appeal to the South" calling for men and
money, and urging the shareholders at great
length and with most ingenious inducements,
to the following scheme of military colonial

the party. The colonists should be subsisted a

HANX.EYE AND TKLIG1ARH,


Ouf nei6hbor il out in yesterday morning
issue with Whist We cali very coarse and yer.
abusive article, and one 10 which we never snal
reply In kind. Some little excuse can be found
for the spirit manifested, in the result Of th'
eiection. But Il will hardly cover 20 enrenomse
snd gross abuse. Bot all its revilings pass u
like the i1se wind. Not an iota Of its dirt ad
heres. We are in the most perfect good humor
i In reference 10 what we hare written in regard
to the disgraecful scenes on Saturday night, at
least thousand citizens of Des Moines county
and Burlington sax aud heard all that passed
| just as we saw and heard 1t. To their yer-
| dict we refer any question Of yeracity that may
be made against us. So far as We gave the
threats Of VERY, as they we're made in the Ger
| man language, we depended upon representa-
tions made by those who understand that Ian
guage, and who asserted that they heard the
from the threats made, we, in common with all
that We spoke with on the subject, thought there
was very reasonable grounds for aprrehending
violence. We are rejoiced as much as any body
can be that there was none. We are rejoiced
that there was no fighting, no disorderly con-
duct or intemperancc. We rejoice that the ad-
vice given was not needed, but that wiser eoun-
ellis ls3prevailed. But the fact that there was none
is not positive proof that it was not reasonably
to be apprehended.
An attempt is made to implicate us in the mat
ter Of printing and circulating spurious tickets.
We have only to say that we are not justly
chargeable, neither is the Republican party
chargeable, with any thing of the sort We
never yet justified or advised the circulation of
any ticket that was any Aing other than it pur-
ported to be.
. In the matter of the Poster to which reference
is had, the Gazette admits that it contained moth
ing more than was in the Hawk-Eye, and that
ut once answers all it says on that head. But
we have tried to get the votes of the Know
Eothngs in the county? Admit it and what does
that amount to. Have not the Pro-Slayery
leaders and candidates been begging for their
support for the last month? And look at the re-
turns and see if they have not been quite sue
cessfnl in getting large number of these votes
we contend that there should be cordial unity
among all the enemies of slavery extension
We contend that our Platforms SO broad that all
can stand on it erect And we contend that it is
the imperative duty Of every friend of Freedom,
no matter whether he has called himself Demo-
crat Wing or Know Nothing heretofore, to vote
against the extension of slavery and the perpet-
uation of the measures and policy of this admin
istration and the continuance of the present i'm
beetle and corrupt men in power. All can
unite, on equal terms, on a common level, with
out the sacrifice ola single principle. And it
only needs an examination of the election re-
turns already received to prove that such
union has been perfected. We hail it as an
omen of success in November.

af WHAT NExr?-Fremont is a Know-Nothing
and Catholic-an abolitionist and aslave-hold-
era millionaire and a bankrupt-all in the
same breath of the oppostion.-And now, after
having insisted that he was born out of wedlock
in Virginia, they have discovered that he was
born in Canada! We find the following in the
Detroit Free Press:
FREMONT NATIVE OF GANADK!-Under this
caption, and underthe authority of "a trust-wor-
thy correspondent the New York Citizen of
August I'd, says: 'There seems to be the most
positive information that the black republican
party have made blunder in their nomination
of Fremont A gentleman residingin the neigh
borhood of Detroit knew his father, and himself
when lad, in Montreal, Lower Canada, of which
city he is supposed to be native. Further in
formation anon" # asaas3
What next, gentlemen. of the opposition?-
No sooner is one lie started, than you overlap it
with another directly opposite. Go on-Jeffer-
son and Jackson were abused and yilIifed before
him, and it won't hurt Fremont. The people
know him, and you too. s

The ayowals in this reniarksbable docqmeng,
and the desperate durpose in regard to Kansas,
which it puplished. viii surely arrest the atten-
ton Of the whole North. Our own liberties itt.
eraliy depend upon the defeat Of the wicked
scheme, of which Buford is the agent. slsss nssfl
This Baford and his hackers are strong sup.
porters Of Buchanan for President. Why?
Would they support any candidate whom they
did not know 70 be favorable TO their desperate
enterprise Z Not they, They have good sssr-s
auce, we doubt not, that Buchanan will sustain
them, and in view Of his election are they now
pushing forward their bold scheme.
But we are firm in the belief that they arc
destined to be disappointed. If the freemen Of
the North and West win but prove themselves
true to themselves aud to the principles oftheir
fathers, John C. Fremont win be elected Prcsi- i
dent, and that will be the death blow Of Border !
Ruffianism and the Slavery Propagandists, and
the salvation of Kansas TO Freedom.

Anew days since, while passing on the cars
from Columbus to Cincinnati, we had the pleas
ure OF meeting Mr.. WHrroS, formerly an Engi-
neer on the Iron Railroad, and well known to
the early Inhabitants Of this place as a gentle.
man Of unexceptionable character and ol ster.

Of wheat, besides large quantities Of oats,
beans, dried fruit, pork and lard had been wag.
oned to Gallipolis since the last harvest. The
people Of those townships would, we are salts
fed, prefer to bring their produce to this place
il there was any means Of transportation. But
unfortunately there is no road over which q
load can be hauled. The wants of the people
Of those townships as well as the wants and
interest of Ironton demand that good road Of
some description shall Immediately be made
between this point and Marion, and if Gallia
will Join, let it be built to Gallipolis. A road
from Ironton to Marion can be built the present
year If all persons Immediately interested in il
will combine their energies.
The movement should commence in the agri-
cultural townships. We think that if the

NArH. DAvIssoN, the BauMrlELDs. T. g. TAoo,
JoHN LuNcEroRD, and the other enterprsing
men in that region of the county would put the
thing into motion, they would meet with en-
couragement in this place and before another
yesr passes away we would have such road
as would enable men 10 drive over with safety
at all times and seasons.
LET THERE BE RoAD TO PINE CREEx.-It is
about four miles and half by way of La Grange
Furnace to the top Of the hill this side of Pine
Grove from that point to KELLEy's Mills there
is now as good road as there is in the county.
If this four OF five miles from Ironton out were
made we would then have good road to KEEL.
LEy's Mills. connecting us with the fertile val
ley Of Pine Creek, and the rich agricultural re.
gion of some two or three tow nships in Scioto
county.
THE NARRows AT Coal GRovE.-If there is
power 70 make specific appropriations for roads,
let there be about $1,000 appropriated by the
county to make good and safe road across the
narrows at Coal Grove. That is road traves
ed by Al least one half of all the people o. the
county that visit Ironton.
1fthe people could vote on the question they
would say let the requisite amount Of money
be appropriated.
There is not people enough in that neghbor.
hood to build a road. The Comm issioner.
should take the matter in hand.
Good roads throughout the county would lead
to more social and friendly intercourse among
the people and would add al least one third n
the actual value Of the land.
