Blood and Thunder:

Hon. Lawrence NJ. Keith, who assisted
Brooks in the assault upon Sumner, has
been delivering political address in Lynch
burg, Va, in behalf of Buchanan, in the
course of which he took occasion to give
vent to his hatred and spite against Ohio
and Massachusetts,. The Lynchburgh Tir-
ginian says:
Col Keitt's bitterest venom was directed
at Massachusetts,, and he gave us to under
stand, too, that he had a special aversion
to the pork grease of Ohio, as well as the
Goldfish of the Bay State. The Massachu-
sets men, he said, who emptied the tea in
to Boston Harbor, first filled their pockets.
The Massachusetts, regiment in the Mexi-
can war had to be guarded by two others
TO prevent them from plundering the bag
gage wagons. In 1912 the people of
Massachusetts, permitted their brethren to
be slaughtered on the shores of Canada,
without sending them help. Then, he
said, in allusion to Mr.. Burlingame, the
citizens of that State were not so much dis
posed to 90 to Canada to fight as now
Finally he exclaimed, "God help me" 81
want nothing more to do with Massachu
sets, except on the battlefield" Referring
to the possibility of Fremonts election, he
declared that the man who, in that contin-
gency, would not 60 for dissolution of the
Union, was traitor and a coward.
Please don't make fool of yourself, Mr..
Keitt.

MIR. Buchanan's Visit to Bed.
ford.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Pat
riot, a visitor at Caledonian Springs, Ad-
ans county, in letter from that place, da-
ted the 18th instant, says:
A gentleman arrived here yesterday from
Bedford. He was there when Mr.. Buchan-
an arrived, and describes the occasion as
prolific in merriment. Prior to his coming,
whilst all were in expectancy, Major Wat
son, familiarly known parsonage of that
locality, thought he would produce some
innocent amusement. Heaccordingly gave
out that the Cincinnati Platform would
make his appearance on certain evening.
Acting in concert with several friends, who
were in the secret, the Major procured a
carriage, band of music, flags, banners,
and other paraphernalia. He drove out
some distance, and returned about the ex-
pected hour. Music was sounded, and ban
ners flung to the breeze, as the carriage
approached. II stopped, aud an elderly
inmate, procured for the purpose got out.
The Major introduced him to the anxious
crowd as Mr.. Buchanan. Shouts went up
rending the air, hands were shaken, con-
gratulations interchanged, until keen
sighted gentleman from Baltimore discov-
cred to the dismay of all present, that it
was not Mr.. Buchanan, but a gross fraud
a plagiarism upon the Cincinnati Platform.
Enthusiasm cooled down and did not rise
again, forwhen the embodiment of Demo-
cracy did come, he was escorted by CON-
mittee constituted of one old-line Wing and
two Know-Nothings.

Hence We argue, that when they appeal TO the
hberality of our citizens, the response should be
prompt and the contribution generous.
The firemen of Millersburg propose to have
a supper at the Court House this (Thursday)
evening, the proceeds arising from it to be ap-
Piled TO the benefit of the two Companies. A
table will be spread with all the substantial and

until the afternoon. but still they had an at
mainly from Clark and Mechanic townships,
and shows that they are fully aroused to the inn
portance of the issues to be decided at the COM
ing elections. The speaking was first rate, and
too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the
ladies, for the excellent dinner prepared by
them for the occasion. A judge in such matters,
say he never saw it excellcd. The speaking
was in open air and whilst it was raining. but
still there was the best of attendance and all
seemed anxious to hear

TENNEssEE.-Col. Thornton having late
ly stated in a speech at Memphis-that there
were three hundred Fremont voters in that
city, Fowlke's Financial Express of the
9th inst, says:
awe take no great interest in politics;
we leave this for those who want office;
and who have more taste, and greater in
formation of politicians and public meas
ures, than we have, or profess to have
We belieye that we have full five hundred
voters who prefer Fremont TO either Fill
more or Buchanan in this city and county;
and would cast their votes for him, in pref
erence to either of the other candidates for
the Presidency, provided there was Ere:
mont ticket in the State. We may be
mistaken, but we do not believe we are
We think the opinion expressed by Col. J.
B. Thornton really below the number of
Fremont voters in the city, This is our
honest and fired conviction; and, with the
disposition evinced by some to strike down
Col. Thornton for the simple statement of
fact, if it be fact-if not fact, for an
erroneous opinion, if it be an error-we
cannot, in justice to our sense of duty, re-
frain from the giving of our own opinion
upon the subject; and, while we state this
conviction of ours as mere opinion, and
not as positive fact, yet we can give rea-
sons for the ''faith that is in us" on this
subject"

Scarce two Weeks

To our State Election in Ohio. Now let these
twelve days be filled with untiring labors.-
Not a thousand men in Ohio, would vote the
BUCHANAN ticket, ifthey were thoroughly posted
as to the position of parties.
NeighborhoOd meetings, and individual effort
must be the work now. Talk the matter owe,
with your neigbbors earnestly and thoroughly,
so that no man in all Ohio, shall vote blindly.
Remember KANSAS and her smouldering
houses, and her murdered men, Remember
SUMMERS blood,
Remember that now is the hour that is TO de.
eide the fate of Liberty on this continent,-
With the triumph of FREMONT, Freedom again
lives! But with the election of BUCHANAN,
Slavery, the direst of all foes to Republic, be-
comes as wide and as permanent as the Union
itself
Men and brethren, in view of these momen-
tuous facts, work now for God and Humanity!
for Liberty and Justice, and the perpetuity of
the free institutions of our fathersl Let other
bushes now wait. 1t is needed that Ohio should

Sunday School Celebration.

The Disciples of Christ at Holmesville, on
Saturday the 9th of September, 1856, in unison
with a number of the neighboring schools, held
a celebration in the Oak Grove, halfa mile east
of Holmesville, which proved one of the best
ever held in the place. Over one thousand per-
Sons were present, about one-half of which were
scholars. A short appropriate address was de-
ivered by Rev. ISAIAH JONES, after which, a
number the scholars of the Holmesville school,
delivered appropriate declamations, and read
essays, alternately entertaining the audience
with vocal music, by a choir lead by Mr.. H.
WooDs. A beautiful free dinner was had for all ,
after which, the scholars were presented by the
officers of the several schools, with New Tes-
ment; several valuable Bibles, were awarded to
those entitled to prizes, under the rules of the
several schools. The highest number Of verses
committed in the female department, was by

Gov. Geary and the Territorial
LaWs


Whether the apparently favorable course tax
en- by Gov Geary on his first arrival will be
pursued, or whether he will prove no better
than his predecessors, is as yet an uncertain
matter, although some reports by the last mails
would indicate the latter. The Border Rufhans,
with ArcHIsoN at their head, who at first reeeiv-
ed him doubtfully, have, it seems, admitted him
to full communion and declare that he is all
right:-rather suspicious evideneel He has ap-
pointed Col. Titus generalisimo of militia, one
of the ruffans already distinguished for his hos
tility to the Free State men.

just the turning point of the whole case. Those
claws of the Territorial Legislature Infamous,
invalid, and rncons!itutional-are the cause of
the whole difficulty. So long as they are in
force, If is utterly impossible to effect their
peal. They disfranchise, by their test oaths,
every man who wishes and would vote TO re-
peal them. Ifrcpealed at all. it must be by the

Shuyler Colfax Mobbed by the
Old Liners, Z
TWO MEN KILLED.



From reliable correspondent, we have
received an account of the riot at Bourbon,
Marshall county, at the discussion between
Judge Stuart and Mr.. Colfax.
A wagon containing four men and a
number of ladies, came from Kosciusko
county, to attend the speaking. In the
wagon was borne a banner representing a
buck on his last legs. Threats were made
against the wagon before it reached the
ground, and during the speaking thirty
Irishmen, who were employed upon the
railroad, prepared hickory clubs, and as
The wagon passed grocery at the opposite
end of the town, ii was attacked by these
men, who knocked down the horses, and
commenced an indiscriminate assault upon
all in the wagon. The screams of the wo-
men as they begged for their lives and the
shouts and the murderous blows of the at
tacking party were awful, which drove in
terror the multitude, which was largely
made up of women. Men endeavored to
save their own families, and there was no
time to assist the unfortunate wagon load,
which was soon overpowered by the infu-
rated brutes who forgot to discriminate
between women and men in their mad at
tack.
While one of the mob stood with his
club elevated with both hands, and in the
act of striking he was shot and fell dead
The persons in the wagon were seriously
bruised and injured, and were only saved
from death by the attention of the mob
being attracted to another object.
In the wagon was the wife of Mr..
Leffel, a citizen of Kosciusko county, who,
hearing of the danger of his wife, rode
back to protect her. On approaching the
wagon he and his horse were Knocked down,
and finding the odds against him too strong,
he retreaied to the house of the Rev. MIR.
James, whose family, with himself, had
been witnesses of the terrible scene at the
wagon. Mr.. Leffel was pursued by the
mob, who picked up axes as they went,
broke in the door and a window, and brI-
tally murdered him in the presence of the
terrified family. His body was horri-
bly, mangled, his legs and head being near
" cut to pieces. ......
/; Mr.. Colfax, had been to supper third
of mile from the scene of these transac-
tions, and in short time after, passed the
grocery where were congregated the assail-
ants of the wagon. They assaulted his
horse with clubs and nearly knocked it
down, and theatened the life of Mr.. Col
fax. He was able to keep his horse in mo-
tion, and escaped. The mob dubbed
man riding short distance behind him,
and threatend the life of Captain Ster-
ling, who had recently become a Republi-
can, and also beat young man NAMED
Samuel Disher. They took complete pos
session of the town, while the people anx-
ious for the safety of the women fled in
confusion.
Mr.. Leffel was prominent member of
the NJ. E. Church. He was mild and
inoffensive man, and universally beloved.
