He starts cut with the assumption that we
are the author of the article in the Spirit.
In reply to this we have simply to say it
is not true. We modified portions of the
article which we thought rather severe, but
we are not the author. If however, the
author of the Journals article, or any one
else desires to know our opinion as to the
propriety of Ministers of the Gospel an
nouneing political meetings, from the pull
pit, on the Sabbath, after sermon, we very
plainly aud candidly say that We believe
it to be improper, and that it cannot be
successfully defended Others may take
a different view; this is ours.

A Chance to Make Money.

The Journal is publishing and repeat
ing the old "ten cents a day" faisehood on
Mr.. Buchanan, which all the more respec-
table opposition papers got ashamed Of
long ago. The editor knew he was pub
fishing falsehood as we'll when he pub
lished this as when he said so emphati-
cally that he did not publish Know No
thing paper in Pennsylvania, and had it
proved ON him. If he, or any one else
thinks he can prove it, here is an offer
which will amply pay him for his trou-
BILE, if he succeeds, and which has been
standing for several weeks, and no one
has attempted to take it;

That Hundred Copies Of the Journal.
The papers don't come, and the ques-
tion is, who backed out? In the first
place, we. made the plain proposition,
without any conditions, to take 100 copies
of the Journal to be paid for when Free
mont was elected President Instead of
sending the papers to us, the next Journal
fifty dollars in the Savings Fund, subject
to his draft when Fremont was elected.
He don't require his other subscribers,
who pay for it upon the same contingency,
to make such deposit; why require US
to do so? Merely to waste time in quib-
bling. We did deposit the fifty dollars,
as required, and gave the editor an order
for it, payable when Fremont was elected.
Now the editor backs out again; his pre-
text being that he may not be able to get
the Journal out every week. Four weeks
have already passed since we first made
the offer, and we should have had fonr
hundred papers, but we waived that on
condition that he would send them regu-
larly hereafter. If no such condition had
been annexed, he was under no obligation
to issue more than once in two or three
weeks; and, in addition to this, he was
not bound to send them every time he did
issue. Notwithstanding this, we made
our first offer unconditional, and he was
the first to annex conditions.
The Spirit has been published over
twelve years, in which time it has lost but
three weeks; why could not the Journal
be issued as regularly? If it can, what
is there in his pretended fear that he may
not be able to issue every week? He
could issue every week, but whether he aoaN
or not we pretend not to say. In con-
clusion, Mr.. Journal, if you will deposit
thirty dollars to be paid when Buchanan
is elected, you may annex all the condi-
tions that were in our order, and we win
send you one hundred copies ofthe Spirit
ecery week until the close of the cam
paign. We come twenty dollars under
the other offer. Will you take?

The Know Notning Meeting.

On last Friday afternoon Know
Nothing or Fillmore meeting was held at
the courthouse, in this place. 1t was
addressed by Hon. JOHN DAVENPORT, of
Barnesville; and, aside from its politics,
the speech was one of the best we have
heard for many long day The house
was well filed, all things considered, but
in our opinion those opposed to Mr.. Fill
more composed the largest half Of the
meeting.
Mr.. Davenport commenced by giving
a brief sketch of Mr.. Fillmore's public
| life, endeayoring to whitewash some, not
too spotless, places in it, after which he
gave the rise progress and present condi-
ton of the Fremont party. He pretty
plainly intimated that Mariposa quartz
was the principal motive power among its
leaders, and took off Greeley Bennett,
Bryant and Webb, who are the engineers
of the concern, in some of the happiest
hits we ever heard from the stump This
part of his speech produced the most
uproarious laughter and cheering, in which
some of the Fremonters, who were present
participated He then turned his atten-
tion to the Democrats, and took them
through for their disposition to annex all
the territory joining us. This part of
his speech was cheered, and he got up
considerable laugh at their expense, but
we didn't think it near as funny as when
he was taking down the other party.
To make long story short, it was an
excellent speech, and every Democrat and
Fremonter whose soul is large enough to
permit him to enjoy a laugh at the ex-
pense of his party, missed rich treat by
not being present.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

KENTUCKY Louisville CoMrie,
says, that the Democrats have elected ten
out of the thirteen Judges who were chosen
in Kentucky on Monday last. The Gin
cinhati Enquirer says: "In twenty-five
counties there is o democratic gain o1
5,177. The Know Nothing majority ir
the State last year for Governor was
1900 1t is therefore in the counties
heard from already swept away and 200
to spare on the democratic side If the
remaining counties come in as well, the
Democratic majority in the State will be
from 10,OO0to 10000"
NORTH CARoLINA.-The whole Demo
cratic ticket is elected by increased major
tiles. There is Democratic gain of five
new members of the Legislature
ARKANSAS The only account from
this State is that Yell, the Know. Nothing
candidate is elected Governor. The ac-
count may be true. bat we doubt it.
MISSOURI. In this State there are
three candidates; Benton the candidate of
the Benton Democrats, Polk, the candi-
date of the regular Democrats, and Ewing
the Know Nothing candidate. A num-
Der of counties are in, but not enough to
form reliable opinion as to the result.
We are inclined to the opinion that Polk
will be elected Governor, and that the
Democrats will gain for Congress.
IowA.--This State as was expected has
gone for the opposition by 1000 or 5000.
If Fillmore can carry that number at the
Presidential election, Iowa may be set
down for Buchanan, although it has been
set down as q Fremont State

and will probably be announced in Her
Majesty's speech on the propagation OF

that Bay Island revert to Honduras, that
Republic pledging itself never to cede
them to any other power or allow inter

acquiesces in this arrangement, and joins

s WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.
There is no prospect of the Senate
Kansas Bill passing the House; neither
will the Sherman amendment be insisted
upon by the House as rider to any of the
regular appropriation bills The Senate
bill would quiet Kansas and the country,
and thereby destroy the only issue left to
the Republicans with which to go before
the people and appeal to the passions;
while the Sherman amendment in the
shape of rider to aregular appropria-
tion bill, is glaring attempt at centrali-
cation, by the House usurping the power
of the coordinate branch of the Legisla-
ture. Every step on the road to central
ization approaches despotism-the man.
moth grave which, thus far has swallowed
up every European Republic. 1t is quite

such as formed the Mountain party in the
French National Convention, or whether
the reign of terror proceeds from single

worst case, an individal responsibility.
which is divided and comparatively small

The refusal of the supplies, unless the
will Of the House be@done, is not Demo-
cratic remedy but analogous to that left to
the British House of Commons, against an
immutable crown which cannot be reached,
and an hereditary aristocracy whose claims
as branch of the legislature are based
on feudal rights or usages. Both branches
OF our legislature and the President him
self are elective though the mode of elcc-
tion insures in every legislative act, the
concurrence of a popular majority with the
majority of sovereign States. In this
consists the conservative feature of our
system, and every attempt to subrert or
destroy it is revolutionary, and an act of
treason to the confederacy. There is more
danger of the Union being destroyed here
in Congress, than by the quiet, peaceful
and patriotic voters of the country.
