and dyed in human gore, has been exposing it to
the four winds of heaven. From Kansas, the
same revolving terrorism has spread itself like o
frghtful epidemic all over the South, until, fierce
and bloody as the brutal street women Of Paris
in the first French revolution, these niger linen
wasberwomen of the South trample all laws and
all social decencies under foot.
And what are the results? We have had
foretaste Of them from the Iowa, Vermont and
Maine elections; and on the l4th of this month,
the accumulated pressure of this popular reac-
ton will give, in Fremont majorities Of from
twenty to fifty thousand, the solution for Penn
syivania, Ohio and Indiana. The result in No
vember win be revolution Of unparalleled ma
jesty and power, and it will inaugurate new
epoch Of peace, law, order and constitutional and
faternal recprocities between all sections of the
Union We shall then see what fools and ninnies,
what senseless DISCLAIMERS and ranters these South
ern and Northern secession traitors are The
question now is not shall the niggers be liberated
but shall white men be made slaves? To submit
to this Southern democratic terrorism is to sub
NIT to the condition of slaves and niggers. We
must elect Fremont-uphold the sovereignty of
the people-make good the rights of white men
under the constitution, not only in the United
States Senate, not only in Kansas, but through
out the South, including the Congressional dis
trict of Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, and the
city Of Richmond, under the very nose of Gov
ernor Wise.
Finally, with the new epoch of the constitution,
and of white mems rights, new era of good
feeling will come to US, in which all sorts Of our
dirty Northern linen, as well as the dirty niger
linen of the South, win be washed and dried at
home. The day breaks and the skies are bright.

daylight, when Robinson drag
ged it off and buried it. When
Williams was killed, his wife

HORRIBLE AFFRAY.
-Four men Shot at Helena.

'Ho"f HteH OitoI 0t Helena,
A most melancholy affray oc-
Cured at Helena, on Saturday
last, by which four men were
shot, three supposed to be NOR
tally wounded. There are
several versions of the affair,
and we give the following from
the Memphis Morning Bulletin
ot Tuesday, as the latest, and
most reliable account:
" We are indebted to friend
who was in Helena when the
late shooting affair occurred, for
some facts which we have not
heretofore heard. 1t seems
that a difficulty was very gener-
ally apprehended throughout
the town on the day of its oc- :
currence. Mr.. Rice, one of the
parties, had been absent from
the county, and came to town
that morning. His presence
gave rise to the apprehensions
of difficulty. About one
o'clock, as Messrs. Hindman
and Claiborne were going to
dinner, at the Commercial Ho-
tel, they were passing around
the corner of Messrs. Myrtle
and Moore's store, when Mr..
Rice, standing just at the door
of the store, asked, care you
the editors of the State Rights
Democratic" and, one report says
fired at the same time. Another
report is, that Mr.. Claiborne re-
plied''yes," and begun TO draw,
when Mr.. Rice fired. Our in
formant did not learn wether the
first shot was fired at Hindman
or Claiborne. There were
different reports about the whole
affair after it begun. These
facts he gathered: that after the
first there were several shots
fired from the store, and at the
parties in the store. After the
firing ceased, Mr.. Rice started
to run up the street, towards the
house of Major Baldwin, his
r-in-law, and Hindman
pursued him until he fell ex-
hausted from a wound. Rice
stopped when he had received
gun-shot from Mai. b. In
the affair, Mr.. Claiborne and
Mr.. Merrick, a brother-in-law
of Rice, were MORALLY wound
ed, and Hindman received a
flesh wound in the breast. Mr..
Claiborne was young lawyer
of much promise, and some
reputation in hisstate. Merrick
was a citizen of Alabama, and
only at Helena temporarily
He leaves a wife and family in

aion in Arkansas, and is now the

vention at Cincinnati. Rice i.

The ostend Manifesto.

The allusion to the celebrated "Ostend
manifesto in one Of the resolutions Of the
Philadelphia Convention, prompts us to
give our readers the concluding PARTON Of
1t. There are those who affect to believe
that should Mr.. Buchanan be elected, his
policy with respect to other nations would
be pacific and conciliatory. Let all such
read the extract W, give below, fromthis in.
famous document, and then ask themselves
if Mr.. Buchanan, after having deliberately
put his hand to document in which is
found the highwayman's plea, "that might
makes right" is a suitable man to make
President of the United States. Mr.. Blu.
chanan by giving his sanction to this docu.
ment shows his entire willingness to see the
most daring schemes Of the fillibusters to be
carried out. Every man engaged in CON-
mcrce, should shun him, as they would pes.
thence. We call particular attention to the
parts we have italicized, and placed in small
capitals,
"But If Spain, deaf to the voice of he,
own interest, and actuated by stubborn
pride and false sense of honor, should
refuse to sell Cuba TO the United States, then
the question will arise, what ought to b,

Union for the sake of tho Union" has
been tho banner cry Of democracy in many
q conflict and TO its silver tones the party
has rallied rs the clan rallies to the sound
OF its ribroch. But tho pure banner had
been draggled. Il has been smutched by
southern sectionalism. The South has de-
faced Il with new inscriptions; and written
upon 1t new and strange devices. Foremost
among them Is that which rayst that "sidre-
~ IS as national as freedom. Il there no
southern aggression In that? Around that
bold and bad motto, IL the scroll, that " the
national government shall recognise and pro-
tecf property in siares as in dny Other article
of commerce" Is there no southern ag-
erosion in that. To the south the democ-
racy has yielded until every submission ID
but the signal for new demand. This sub
serviency must have an end somewhere and
ut some time. The South forces 1t upon VI
now.
That influential Journal tho Democratic
Reflector Of Hamilton, n. Y, places at ita
head the names Of Fremont and Dayton
and says:
The doings Of the recent Cincinnati Dem.
ocntic Convention has left US no alternative
but to endorse separately and in body oil
the enormities and outnges Of the Piercc
Administration, or throw OF the shackles
Of party and adhere to principles, which to
us are far more sacred than mere party ties.
The latter course we have determined to pun
sue.

the workshop, is untitled thereby from at
iaining any high social position. Ii is this
sentiment to which Mr.. Buchanan subcribes
when he gives his assent to Platform oil
principles under which Slavery can be ex-
tended, which degrades the white hborer IN
the Southern States and raises him bu, little
above the Slave. In consenting to be the ex-
ponent Of the Shareholders policy and to DO
tho bidding Of the Shareholders, Mr. ba-
chanan puts himself in direct antaeonlsm
with the free labor Of the country and says
substantially to it, that when the two sys-
tens Of Slave and Free labor come in COM
petition, his sympathies must be given for the
former. Every advance which the Slave
power makes in the path Of strengthening
and extending the institution is direct and
fatal blow to the interests of free labor,
shrinking its dignity, palsying its energies,
lowering its respectability, and bringing 1t
nearer and nearer, in 20 Mt of social eleya-
ton to the placc'which Slave labor occupies,
The laboring men Of the free States, those who
believe in the responsibility oflabor can have
no sympathy for Mr.. Buchanan, and iftheiI
object is to promote their interests and to
give efficacy and effect to the true idea Of
labor and its relations TO the social and po'
litical economy of the State, they must vote
against him. Every vote given for Mr.. Blu
chanan by labOring man, taking into view
his endorsement ofthe Cincinnati Convention
and i,sapprOyal of its Slavery extension prin
eiples, is direct and palpable blow to tn
rights, interests, and privileges of the labor
ing classes.

On Monday Douglas made similar one In
the Senate. With the agility that the little
giant displayed, just previous to the pass
age Of the Nebraska bill, he backs down
f,om his position and brings in bill which
is intended to shield the Rufhan party from
the storm Of popular indignation that awaits
it. The bill is u sheer deception, specious,
but as matters now are, could, ifpassed, re-
suit in nothing.
The hill provides for the appointment
Of Commissioners by The President, who shall
take a census of the legal voters of the ter
ritory and make fair apportiOnment Of
delegates to each county, to form Consti-
tuition and State government. The Com
missioners are to remain in session to hear
complaints, examine witnesses, and correct
the>lsts Of voters, &C., and no person is to
be allowed to vote whose name is not on the
lists. The election Of delegates is to take
place on the day of the Presidential election,
and the Convention is to be held on the first
Monday in December. The qualification OF
voters to be three months residence no test
oath to be required, and no law to be en-
forced infringing the liberty of speech or OF
the press or of the right Of the people to
bear arms.
If there was particle Of sincerity in
these men they would begin at the beginning
declare the infamous laws passed by the
bogus Legislature null and void, and com.
mand the President of the United States to
open the way for the safe emigration of all
into the territory, from the north as well as
the South. After the free State men have
been driven out by the permitted assassin'
from Missouri and South Carolina, theil
leaders scattered, or arrested for constructive
, treason, and when emigrants from the free
States are prevented from going into thu
territory by bands of Missourians and Soutl
CarOlinians, after the order Of despotism i
established, and when laws exist, which thu
organ OF the border rufian party says mus
beobseryed, which impose penalty or impris
onment or death upon all who shall dare L
say that slavery is not right in Kansas
: when free speech il interdicted, the pres
muzzled on the subject, this bill is brnugh
forward, and Buchanan men at the nortl
will talk OF its fairness. The introduction
of it is confession to the country of the in
, EQUITY of the past, but is also an attempt I,
cheat the fre.men of Kansas out Of their
rights. and to aid in adding another slay
State to this confedsrlcy. No sincere frien'
to the restriction Of slavery within its pres
cnt limits will give it countenance.
Since the above was prepare we hav
|, the proceedings of Congress on Tuesday b.
| which it appears that Mr.. Barcley move'
in the House a reconsideration Of the vot
by which the Kansas Bill had been rejected
: \ motion to lay on the table the motion t

:. Ing Committee.
