The Buchanan PGrty Coming Over to Faus
mOre.-The Democrats of the North having
lost all hope of the success of Buchanan, are
coming over to Fillmore by regiments. This
movement has created quite a panic in the
Freesoil camp. The New York Tribune says
the process of fusion between the Fillmore
and Buchanan parties is beginning in good
earnest in the interior of the State. The Chi
cago Tribune says that the Democracy of
Northern Illinois, finding that the Germans
have deserted them, are endeavoring to fuse
with the American party.

Telegraphic dispatches to the Picayune of
Wednesday state that the United States au-
thorities have allowed the prisoners they ar
rested TO bail in the sum Of $4,000. The Mis-
sourians who went into the Territory to aid
their brethren in r~epelling the lawless invasion
by the horde of Abolitionists led by Lane and
his companions, have returned home. Lane
promises to disband his forces.
And thus ends, we hope, the first civil war
in our country. A fearful responsibility rests
upon some one. Our landshas been "drenched
with ~fraternal blood" There is no telling nov
where it will end. Republics, like wild beasts,
become infuriated at the sight of blood.

BUCHANAN or his emissaries," in the letter with

comes out in a very lengthy publication res
pecting the matter which Gen. JACKSON alludes
to in his letter of Feb. %, 1916, from which
the aforementioned extract is taken, which ex-
cites so much of the Courier's ire; and if any
of our readers will take the trouble to obtain
a copy and peruse it, they will be pretty thor
oughly convinced chat the real author of the
great bribery and corruption scheme, has at
last, after a lapse of thirty years, been undeni-
ably identified and exposed.

be present; the Americans in particular should
show their enthusiasm, and lie there in giant

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

The convention was permanently or
gained by appointing Edward Bates, of
Missouri, President, one Vice President
from every State, and six Secretaries.
The President made an able, eloquent,
and stirring speech, on taking the chair.
He took a review of the present clouded
and troubled aspect of affairs, and enfor-
ced with great power and earnestness the
absolute necessity for a union, a cordial
union, of all good citizens, to take such
measures as would put an end to civil
discord, restore peace and harmony, and
strengthen the bonds which unite the
States in n great and powerful confed-
eracy.
This address was listened to with the
most profound and eager attention, and
called forth from the delighted assembIage
such displays of enthusiastic appreciation
as are rarely witnessed.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions, and then the convention ad-
journed till afternoon.

Aid for Walker.

Upwards of four hundred recruits for Gen
Walker left New Orleans on Tuesday morn
ing, 2Sth ult., in the steamship Tennessee.
The people of New Orleans are enthusiastic
well-wishers Of the fillibusters. The Delta,
noticing the departure of steamers, says:
" Looking up to the decks of the Tennes-
see were nearly two thousand earnest gaz-
ers, breathing wishes of good will, AM pray
ing for the succuss of the Nicaragua volun-
teers. 1t was sight to make the blood of
the most unmitigated old fogy to thrill with
pleasurable and manly feeling and the
ringing shout Of the volunteers as the steam
ship went from her moorings, gave promise
of realization Of the high hopes which filled
their hearts,"
One wonders what could have inspired
such high hopes" in the hearts of the fill!
busters. The thought of the hard fare,
sickness and death of those who have pre-
ceded them, could not have been very in
spring but each one perhaps flattered him
self that he stood some chance of obtaining
one of the confscated plantations, which,
thanks to Walker and Soule, are to be sup
piled with laborers from the coast of Africa.

District, arrived in the city this afternoon,
with his wheelbarrow and barrel of apples,
which lie had wheeled all the way from
Newberryport, distance of thirty-six miles
in two and half days. The job was in full
f1lment of a wager with Colonel Burbank,
the Fremont State Senator elect, that Fill
more would get more votes in Massachusetts
than Fremont. -.rs.-f r,vb+[

have made a great and glorious fight. We
have party such as was never before organ
lied in the Union, and a party which the
minions Of Slavery will find will never yield

Is Fremont a Catholic I?

The New York Tribune of the 9th
says Every single vote at and about the
Jesuit College at Fordham, from the chief
priests to the boot-blacks, was dragged out
and polled for Buchanan and slavery. We
don't complain of this-they voted as they
saw fit, as was their right; but is it not nor
s:rous that thousands of Free Soil voters
should have been scared off from voting for
Fremont by utterly false and baseless pre-
tences that he was Catholic, nominated to
catch the Catholic vote, and that Bishop
Hughes and all the Romish hierarchy were
hard at work for him In this city there
were not less than 10000 votes cast by Ca
tholics, and not one in every fifty of them
for Fremont yet thousands voted against
him because of the Dog Mobiles knavish

The Constituents of Buchanan and

The last census shows that the celebrated
Ninth District of Illinois, which the Buchan-
GERS claim so largely, had in Il, l,lS6 persons
unable to read or write! The total vote in
1854 was $4,000. An appropriate constitu-
ency, and most appropriate representatives. =

Such will be found the general character
of the Buchanan vote throughout the United
States, with the exception of the 100000
who live by slave labor and slave manufac-
ture, and those who work for money, directly
or indirectly from the Government and from
the "Southern trade"

John F. Taylor, Sheriff of Winnebago
County, was shot half past 0 o'clock, this
morning, by Alfred Countryman, who in
company with his brother had beer arrested
on suspicion of stealing some cattle. The
Sheriff had succeeded in lodging the brother
in Jail, but Alfred escaped from custody and
ran. Mr.. Taylor gave chase and had almost
overtaken him, when he turned and fired
pistol, the ball entering just below the shoul-
der, and passing downward through the heart
lodged IN the left side producing death in a
very short time. The murderer fled to the
woods, but was followed by a number of cit
izens, who after smart chase succeeded in
capturing him, and bringing him back to the
city, where he was lodged in Jail. There ws s
a strong disposition manifested by some to
lynch him at once, which was happily pre-
vented by the interference of prominent cti-
zens. Great excitement still prevails.

JOSEPH WARREN FURBER, who was elec

lied in l849. He had his farm and home
where he now resides. at Cottage Grove
Washington county, at that time, and had
then resided in this region of country some
five or six years. i @a' 2HAi-
Mr.. Furber represented this whole North.
Western portion of Wisconsin in the Terri
torial Legislature, before the State was form
ed, and the st. Croix made the boundary
between that State and the new Territory Of
Minnesota. At the first election for members
of our Territorial Legislature, he was elect
ed to the House by the voters of the same
district-although far less imposing in num-
bers-which now returns him.
BY that House, he was almost unanimous.
ly chosen Speaker. No House which has
since convened has had a more prompt and
well qualified, or more impartial presiding
officer than Mr.. Furber made. This fact will
be endorsed by every member of that origi-
nal body, of whatever party; and they arc
all yet alive and in the Territory.
Mr.. Furber has since held the Office of U
S. Marshal, and left that office at the close Of
Mr.. Fillmore's administration, for political
reasons only. He has been true to every
public trust reposed in him; and we congrat-
ulate his constituents upon their wise and
judicious choice of a Representative.
