them. They have assembled at Lawrence to the
number of over one thousand fighting men, all
of whom are well armed, and firmly resolved. to
make desperate resistance. They are throwing
up entertainments and breastworks around the
town, in which they are assisted by their wives
and daughters, who work by relays day and
night, with courage and devotion which inspires
their husbands, fathers and brothers with heroic
and,we believe, unconquerable resolution. They
are already outstanding their provisions and am
munition. in expectation ola siege. Our infor-
mani says that every women is a soldier; and
that the event of fight, each win do soldier 5
duty.
The Missourians were crossing into the Ter
ritory in great numbers, much infamed by the
false reports which the Borders Rufian journals
are industriously circulating. In all the river
towns the excitement is intense but, with the
prospect of bloody reception before them, men
for the campaign were not very readily procur-
ed.
Our informant thinks that before this, fighting
has occurred; and he is confident that, whatever
the result, the Free State men have no cause to
blush for their conduct for ortheir cause.

Fillmore's Candidacy.

Nehave heen entirely unable to see how the can
didacy of Fillmore could affect disastrously the cause
of Republicanism and Fremont
Fillmore was nominated by the South and on
pro-savery platform, and in opposition to the North
and Northern platform.
Since Fillmore's return and acceptance of the no
mination all his letters and speeches have been pc
culiarly virulent towards the Republicans and he
publican principles and substantially, IN eeilng ana
sentiment with the Buchsnan democracy
What possible ason then can there be tor suppo-
sing that any number of voters having any Republi
can sympathies, are to be found IN the Fillmore
ranks And what possible ground is there for the
conclusion that if Fillmore should declirN any mum
Der of his followers would go for Fremont We can
not see the least ground for any such opinions; on
the contrary should Fillmore decline we verify be
eve that out of ten of his friends would go for
buchanan ust as naturally as two drops of water
run together.
AT the south Fillnores candidacy Of course, is OF
no Importance to the Republicans. 1t will make o
trfng ripple in the pro-savcry ranks ofthat section
but will not seriously affect Buchanans vote in sin
Gle southern state
In the north we can not imagine how il can have
any Other effect than, in ocalities-thc large ci
ties for inst stance to divide the rosavery vote, and
to that extent weaken instead of strengthen Buchan
an.
We know that the Buchanan men do q good share
of the blowing for the Fillmore party, ard are zeal
Gus to keep the breath of life in that party under the
impression that it will weaken the republicans butt
looks to us as if they certainly fashioning 0
club TO break their own heads.
Fillmores vote will be small at best. There is nc
room for him in this strife. His place is thoroughly
occupied already, but what few he does get, we car
sec no reason for the opinion that they will be mer
who have sympathy enough with Republicanism, e
justify the expectation that they would go for Ere
mont with Fillmore out of the way.
We have no desire to see Fillmore decline.

To the Citizens of Kenosha County.

As Secretary of the Kenosha County Agricultural
Society. wish to call the attention of the citizens
of the county to tho vital importance of the next
quarterly meeting of the Society to be held at the
Society's Hall, Bristol ON Monday next 1t will be
seen by reference to the law passed by the legislature
at the last sesson,a copy of which will be founon
the outside of this paper that certain conditions
therein specified, the society will be entitled to
receive sum of one hundred dollars, from the State
Government This of itself may make re-organi.
cation of the society necessary.
AT the last quarterly meeting it resolved: Thai
a general attendance of the membersof the Society
be requested, to take into consideration the propriety
of reducing the time devoted to the Annual Fair
from two days to one, which together with the regu.
lar business of the meet bearing directly as it does
on the interests connected with the Show air the
appointments of awarding committees the ratifica-
ton of the premium list &c &c, expresses in such
strong terms the necessity for full attendance not
only Of members bet of all interested in the advance
of the society and this includes the Farmer Me
chanc, Tradesman and Millionaire, that feel
passing notice is oil that is called for from me.

The German Vote,

We are glad to notice that the voters of foreign
birth, and particularly the Germans, are giving evi,
denco that they understand this question which now
divides the parties of the country as it is and do not
mean to he frightened by the humbug aud demq
gogue cry Of Know Nothngism into sustaining the
infinitely worse prescription OF Slavery.
The overwhelming Republican triumph in Iowa.
is due IN a great measure to the action OF the Ger
mans
The election ofHlair in st. Louis, clear triumph
OF the Free labor over the Slave labor principle was
due also mainly 10 the German vote
A friend who was in Chicago on Monday ni,j,t

~ friend who has recently taken a some
what extended excursion along the southern line
ofthe State informs MS that the weather has been
most excellent for gathering the harvest which
has all been secured in first rate order That
the wheat is excellent in quality but very short
in quantity, not averaging, he thinks, more
than ten bushels to the acre. Barley and Oats
also light. The corn crop promises to be full
average, and potatoes ditto.
Another friend informs us that his wheat
yielded at the rate of twenty -seven bushels to
The acre, which leads to the conclusion, if the
average stated above be correct, that some farms
must have made very small yield.

The War in Kansas.

The war has again broken out in Kansas, as
will be seen by extracts elsewhere in our paper
AS we supposed, the late intelligence shows that
the proslavery men, as heretofore, are the ag-
gressors, having commenced the difficulty by
numbering Hoyt in cold blood.
But it is immeterial who struck the first blow
on the occasion, or how many of either side ma y
have been slain. 1t is enough to know, that
the country has been plunged into civil war
and the Union is threatened with dismember-
mcnt and dissolution, by the alb ominable policy
and conduct of the present bOrder-rufan adj
ministration; and which, controlled as it is com.
pletely by the South, dares not interpose to pre-
vent this proslavery ruffianism in the territory.
first as last that as long as the influences pre-
vail at Washington which now do, there can be
no peace in Kansas until freedom is crushed out
of it, and for the matter of that out of the coun-
try at large.
1t is inst as certain as fate, that if Buchanan,
the Border-ruffian candidate, triumphs on this
occasion, unless the people are willing to sub
nit quietly to this kind of control, there will
be civil war and dissolution This Constitu-
ton AndUnion can be saved onlyby the triumph
and application of Free principles.
We never have been q croaker about dissolu-
ton; but that the Union could stand another
four years of such administration as it has had
for the last four, w do not believe.

sg@ The Slavery party seek TO make strong
point against the party of Freedom, by calling it a
sectional party. There is significance in this
If the party of Freedom is sectional party who
has made it so. We admit there is truth in what
our opponents say, considering the party geograph
eally. They have managed to drive liberty to a
refuge in the north-to crush it by meaus of blud-
geons, and bowie knives and tar and feathers, com
pletely, south of Masons and Dixon's line. We are
now laborinA to make Freedom national once
more, and Slavery Sectional" When our Oppo-
