"scAS. Mica gentleman from the county
of Jefferson came to this city in search Of his
other half, who, with child of year and a
half in her arms, leaving two older ones at home,
had escaped from his "bed and board" After
watching for day or two he detected her go
ing aboard Of steamboat and wrested his child
from her, which she told him he might take and
go to place not polite to mention. But upon
more manure reflection she concluded not to 60
without the child, and remained in town. This
happened on Saturday, since when negotiations
have been going on in regard to an amicable
Adjustment Of matters, with what result we have
not heard.

understand that there IL but one leading
prominent question IN this campaign. A ques.
ton, for the FIRST time, separately and distinctly
submitted 70 the American people and that i,
whether human slavery slall be extended into
territory now free; Whether the habit Of buy
ing and selling and making merchandise Of men
women aud children shall be nationalized /:
Whether this free land OF Columbia, for which La
Gye,ts left his vine chad home for which Wash
ington prayed and fought; Tor which Warren
and DcKalb and host Of others, poured out
their heroic blood, shall be converted into one
universal Slave haunt, over which millions Of your
guiltless fcllow1beings shall be compelled to
clank their chaitis 10 hopeless and perpetual bon
dsge; Or, whether the monstrous traffic in ha
man flesh, and blood, and bones, and brains,
shall be confined to its present limits. And mp
on this question the battle is to be fought, the
victory won.
This Is no time, in my opinion, to enter into
long disQnisitions upon abstract and abstruse
questionsof civil or constitutional science. But
charge upon this administration and its support
ers that they have prostitnted the high functions
OF this government, to the inlluinan and section
al purpose Of propagating and pcrpctuating hu-
man bondage. That to this end, they have
squandared the public monies. They have coun-
tenanced the cnlisting and arming Of numerous
ruiiian Bandifti, who, under the leadership and
sanction Of Shannon, Pierce, and their myrmi-
dons, have Invaded the peacefulproyinc of Kan
sas, seized upon her government, perverted her
institutions, scourged, and plundered, and ban
ished her citizens, burned their dwellings, con-
quered and sacked their towns and cities, and
converted many of their finest improvements In
to heaps Of smouldering ruins And yet these
ruffian scoundrels, unwhipped of justice, within
creased appetites for rapine and plumber, are in
the midst ofciyil society, vigorously prosecuting
their work of Regulating domestic institutions"
! If you wish to sanction and perpetuate this
reign of terror and blood, vote for James Blu
chanan. If you wish to rcbuke and endit, vote
for free territory and Fremont.

A Loud Shrek Against Freedom

The South Side Democrat, published inPe-
terSburg, Va, is one of the consistent papers
of the South that goes against freedom in all
its shapes, except the freedom to deal in hui
man live stock. There is no other freedom
that it will tolerate. 1t says, in recent mum,
Der :
"We have got to hating everything ~ith
the prefix trec from free negroes down Afnd up
through the whole catalogue--free farms, free
labor, free society free will free thinking, free
children, and free schools-all bepngingtot
same brood of damnable isms. But. the worst
of all these denominations is the modern system
of free schooks The New-Engand system of
free schools has been the cause and prolific
source of the inddelities and treasons that have
turned her cities into Sodoms and Gamorrahs,
and her land into the common nesting places
of bowling Bedlamites. We abominate The sys-
tenn, because the SCHOOLS ARE FREE"

ONLY ONE VOTE +!

We are surprised to meet now and then, an
individual who processes to feel no interest of
any kind in the approaching Presidential cleo
ton a stole in politics, who cares nothing for
any man, or any principle involved in the great
struggle that is now agitating the people of
this country as they never were ngitated be-
fore a man who considers his own vote of no
consequence and who hatters himself that the
country will take care of ITSELF in any event.
That man is deluded 1t is his DUTY to inte-
rest himself in the great principles that are
now at stake, in this struggle between Free
dom and Slavery. 1t will be his DUTY to vote
at the approaching election when, if he con-
suit the honor of his race and of his country,
he will vote for the REPUBRrCAN candidate and
will induce others to do likewise
1t is folly for anybody to believe that ONE
VOTE is of no consequence. 1t was by ONE
VOTE only, that MARCUS MORTON, after failing
many years, finally succeeded in obtaining the
election as Governor of the State of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was by ONE VOTE only, that Tex
as was annexed to the United States, and the
Mexican War was provoked-which sacrificed
fifty thousand lives, and sadded the country
with debt of one hundred million dollars

THE CLOvEN rooT--THE KANSAS LAWS

On. hopes of Governor 6EAnY are short
lived. We see that in spite of all his fair pro-
misses, he is there simply to do the work of the
Proslavcry crusaders In his inaugural ad-
dress at Lecompton he "deprecates continu-
ance of the strife and disorder in the Territory,
caused by the illegal and unjustifable interfe-
renee Of other States, promises justice to all,
without party considerations and erpects obcd,-
ente 10 the lars Of the 7srruorial Legislature,
until they are repealed" This is Just the turin
ing point of the whole case. Those laws of
the Territorial Legislature, Infamous, invalid
and unconstitutional-are the cause of the
whole difficulty. So long as they are in force,
it is utterly impossible to effect their repeal
They dsfranchise, by their test oaths, every
man Ryho wishes and would vote to repeal them.
If repealed at all, it must be by the Legisl~-
t9re. That the Legislature is to be chosen id
aceordance with the provisions of these very
laws and one of their requirements is that no
man Shall rotc, or be eligible TO o6icc, uho ociLl
not take an oath to sustain Mem What mocke-
ry is it, therefore, for Governor GEARY to tell
the people of Kansas that these laws must be
obeyed " until repealed |"
So long as these laws are enforced Kansas
must remain in the grasp of the Border Rutiians
They were made for the express purpose OF
subjecting the Territory to the Slave power
They do it effectually ly,-recognizin Slavery as
already established, and forbidding all freedom
Of speech and of the press-making it felony
to oppose the admission of Slavery-prescrib
ing test oaths of the character already men.
tioned-placing all the executive Offices Of the
Territory in the hands of the Pro-Savery cru
saders-and binding tie settlers hand and foot
to the car of Slavery. And Governor GEARY
following in the footsteps of SHANNON and
WooDsoS, proclaims his purpose to enforce
these laws. He has already commanded " al
bodies of armed men to diSband or quit the
Territory" thus depriving the Free-State mel
of their means of selfdefence and rendering il
doubly easy for the Missourians to take pos
session of the polls at the October ELECTION
What is to be the result OF this new crusade
against Freedom in Kansas remains to b,
seen.

ARE THE VOTERS READY7

But few days now intervene before the Oc-
tober election Are the voters of this Coun-
~ aware of the great Importance of success
on the second Tuesday of October? 1t is an
admitted fact, that if the Union State Ticket,
is elected, it secures the defeat Of Buchanan.
We urge upon our friends thus early to make
preparations for a FULL VOTE Every vote
added to the majority in the State will be
worth two in November. In the strong Re-
publican towns of the County, there is great
danger that the voters will not be all out Let
arrangements be made to poll every vote
Your opponents will not lose an available vote
We must be equally active and vigilant and
certain triumph awaits MS, not only in the Coun-
ty, but the State and the Union.

ANsoN BURLINGAME spoke to-day to the peo-
pie of Lehigh County at this place He was
met at the cars by two companies of military
and an immense concourse of people, who es-
corted him to the Court House lawn, where he
addressed for an hour and half 1000 of the
yeomanry of the county
The meeting was unparalleled both in num-
bers and intensity of enthusiasm. His speech
was interrupted by frequent bursts of applause,
and closed amid the widest demonstrations of
enthusiastic feeling. This meeting has pro-
duced a most powerful and decisive effect on
the result of the election in Lebigh county.
The meeting was afterwards addressed for
an hour and half by the Hon. DAVID VII
MOT, with great power Of argument and most
convincing reference to the history of the ag-
gressive movements of the Slave Power. The
| tour of these gentlemen is marked by the most
gratifying evidence Of success. They have hit
the very food tide of the widely changing
popular feeling, and are carrying everything in
triumphant march before them"

THE UNION STATE TICKET.

We find in a speech lately made by f. JOY

concerning the candidates on the Union State

and competent to speak from personal knowl-
edge Of all the candidates -
Mr. LAPoRrE, member of the Legislature from Brad

BrcHaNAN AND FILLMORE CoAIIrIoS.-ThC
Washington correspondent of the New ork
Courier and Enquirer, says:
" 1t is no longer doubtful that the Buchan
an and Fillmore factions are intriguing for a
coalition in New York. | have no doubt that
it will be formed if the parties negotiating can
agree upon the terms. 1t is understood that
the managers of the various conferences that
have been held on the part of Mr. Buchanan,
insist upon the electoral vote of the State, and
the delegation in Congress, while they offer to
the X. \. managers all the State Offices and
the Legislature, thus securing to Mr. Fimore'S
partizans the patronage of the Canals and 9th
er public works and control of the State Trea-
sury for the ensuing two years, and the Unit
ed States Senatorship for the term following
that Of Gov Fish
Such an arrangement would of course amont
to total surrender of all claims on the Presi-
dency, because if Buchanan carries New York,
his election is certain. This, however, would
be no great sacrifice, because no Fillmore man,
admitted behind the scenes, expects his candi-
date to receive a single electoral vote-not
one. Every sensible person knows that the
Fillmore flag is kept flying in the South, sole
lyto deceive his honest supporters in the North,
and by keeping Fillmore nominally in the can
yass, to prevent concentration of the oppo-
sition to the candidate of the Black Democra-
cy and Slavery. This precious scheme of De-
mocratic and X y. fusion in Newly York, will
tend to open the eyes of the American Clubs
in both New-York and Pennsylvania, and to
make them vote sure for Fremont BY immense
majoritics.
