Distress OF THE BUCHANEER PARTY
The Buchanan organ in New Orleans
the Delta-mourns bitterly over the pros
poets of the Presidential contest in the
North, and calls loudly for secession and dis
union. The Delta further begs that Texas
will lead off in the secession movement.
|" Let her." says the Delta, plant on her
capitol once more the flag of the Lone
STAR and million of men will soon rally
around it. The time for action has arrived"
Remember, this is from a leading organ Of
the great national party ~

Those numerous extra Five Dollars which
Land officers in the Districts west of the
Mississippi have illegally extorted from the
settlers from time to time, are now being
appropriated to advance the interests Of their
slave-driving masters of the South whom
they bend low the knee to please, that
+" thrift may follow fawning." Betting is
their game-betting the money Of the peo=
pie against the peoples rights, in order to
build up Slave States instead Of Free States.
The Indian officers of Minnesota are also in
the gambling field. The Superintendent,
we are assured by eye-witnesses, is engaged
in betting on Buchanan's election. This is

says the feeling for Fremont and Freedom is
perfectly overwhelming in that quarter
that the Republicans will poll vote in No

E@ The New York correspondent OF
the Boston Transcript says that the new
electric light, Fecently patented by the
American inventor in England, and yielding
the most intense aud beautiful illumination
yet attained by science, will be used on
board the Adriatic. Those who haye inves-
tigated this important discovery assert that,
under favorable circumstances, the electric
light can be seen at a distance of forty miles:
and there is no doubt that it will contribute
largely to the safety Of steamships on the
Atlantic, by the power of its signal fire.

electoral votes enough in the Free States to

important speech in Virginia, in which he
claimed for Congress full power over the
Territories. He saw no objection to the pro-
hibition Of slavery in Territories not adapted
to it, and said that that power had been ex-
ercisad freely by Congress over all the Ter
ritories, before the passage of the Kansas
bill, to which measure he ascribed all our
present trolgles. s.ss
