New YORK STATE.-The Fillmorn-
ers are just now making great efforts
to impress the public mind with the
idea that Fillmore will certainly get
that State-.just as they Dragged on
Iowa and Maine until election! The
story that the North Americans are
going for Fillmore, is not true; they
resolved by a very large majority to
90 for FREMosT,a a very small minority
adhering to + ilmore. Our private
adyices are that Fremont is gaming
throughout the State. The N.E.Eve'
Post gives, by counties, the probable
vote of the State, which foots up as

Buchanan meeting in Trevorton, says it
was addressed with great eloqueuee by
"Cap'. Hummel, a soldier of the Revolu-

DEAR BR. HIBBARD These lines leave
me in good health. l have just returned
to this pace from a tour to tbe West, where
| have been preaching. aud looking at The
scenes passing off in the new par, of our
great Valley. These scenes are all famiL
lar and pleasant, as they are the reactiug
scenes ofour youthful days, With the ex.
eeption Of the Krnsas war Sixty-eisht
yeats since, was familiar with the war
whonp of the savage Indians. But hero
confess they are nothing to compare with
the cold blocded murders, thieving, house.
burning, horse-stealing, an ravishing ffa-
males, by. ..slaveocracy and Missouri r ufians.
l think history has no record of anything
like it. feel NY American blood boil
in me with Indignation, to think that lib
erty for which my fathers and kinsm y
fought, and watered the tree of glorious
liberty with their blood, must now be
trodden down under the unhallowed feet
of the tyrants over slaves. Will q free
Christian people suffer it! l Indignantly
say NO. The traitors to our liberties
must be routed, the sink of corruption
aud tyrauy broken up, peacably if We can
but otherwise if we must
l was amongst some of the refugees;
some that had been robbed aud burned out,
horses stolen and oxen killed. And yet.
We have men asi editors Of papers, who
will deny that any such things have trans
pired and at the same time know they
do not tell the truth. The tories and tr,t.
tors are not all dead, but truth and right.
