check the extension of slavery, and assert the
worth and dignity of free labor; If you would
preserve the constitutional rights of every
section of our beloved country if you would
<sensure domestic tranquility, establish jus
tice, promote the general welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty TO yourselves and your
posterity,'' the time to do il is now. For
these very objects, the lives and fortunes of
men, in the early history of our country. were
pledged and lost. No such sacrifices are de-
rnanded of you. We ask only that every citi-
zen who values such blessings, and desires to
make them permanent, may for that purpose
devote few days of peaceful labor to the
cause. A full vote in Pennsylvania on the 4th
of November will settle forever the sectional
controversy into which the country has been
plunged by the scandalous measures of an ad-
ministration which Mr.. Buchanan has publicly
approved and is pledged to maintain.

The SIGN OF THE CRoss.-It has been urged
rs an evidence of Col. Fremont's proclivity
towards Romanism. that he erected a cross on
the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains
when he explored them. We have never re-
garded this logical deduction, and we now
see that DR.. Kane did the same thing during
his Arctic exploration In his recent report
of that voyage, at page 3i5 ofthe first volume,
he says: ''a conspicuous spot was selected
upon a cliff looking out upon the icy desert,
and on a broad face of rock the words sAd
vance, A. D. 1S53-54,' were painted in,letters
which could be read at a distance. A pyra-
mid of heavy stones, perched above it, irGs
marked leith the Christian symbol Of the cross.
1t was not without holier sentiment than that
of mere utility that 1 placed under this the
coffins or our two poor comrades. 1t was our
beacon and their gravestOne.' In all sinceri-
~ we think our political friends viii be better
engaged in attacking Col. Fremont's position
as the exponent of Republican principles. than
in continuing these attacks upon his presumed
religious sympathies.-Phira Sun.

THE individual who charges the Republican
party with being an s'Abolition' party, is Ell
ther ga knave or a fool''-perhaps both. The
Republicans are opposed to Interfering with
Slavery in the States, as well as to its extern
sion. Any one, therefore, who says they wish
to abolish slavery in the Southern States, must
either be incapable of comprehending plain
Anglo-Saxon words, or is willful, deliberate
and malicious falsifier.

We learn from Kansas that in addition to
the return of Whitfield, as Delegate to Con-
gress, the pro-slavery men in Kansas elected
all their candidates for the Legislature. No
attempt at disturbance was made in any part

generally kept away from the polls, refusing
to vote under the infamous oaths required to
be taken by voters.

LADIES REPosIToRY.-For the daughters,
sisters, wives and mothers Of the country, there
is no better periodical published than the La
dies Repository. 1t is to the heart and mind
what the "Lady's Book is to the outward
apparel. We mean rather to say, that as the
Lady's Book is principally taken up by lady
subscribers to study the changes and novelties
of fashion, &c. in dress-the Repository may
be enjoyed as indeed repository of many
charming novelties for the clothing of the mind
and heart. This periodical contains large
amount Of most excellent reading matter, of a
much higher order than the generality of oul
monthly periodicals. It is published at Gin
cinnati, by Swormstedt & Poe, at So pei
annum. Each number contains rich engrav
ings, not wood cuts We advise our ladies t.
subscribe for this Magazine.
