The black republicans and Know Nothings have combined on common ticket they have common object and common cause The democracy of the north alone are fighting the battles of the south. The Union depends on the success of the democratic ticket. Know Nottingham is merged in black repub- licanism and unless the democracy are success full over their combined forces, all is lost.

 "CoALITIoN BETWEEN FILLMORE AND ERE MoNT-The Fillmore State convention of h. diana have just united with the black republi- can party, by nominating the same electoral ticket for the State. If any of our democratic friends have been feeding themselves up with the hope of division among the American and republican parties, upon the State ticket, they would do we'll to give up that hope as ut terly futile.
 "The fusion cf the parties for the Presidency IS noU complete, which seals the fate of Buch- anan democracy ill Indiana. "rhc friends of Mir. Fillmore should now go to work to secure majority of the popular vote of the State of Indiana for him; if they succeed, of which we have no doubt, the cleo. toral vote will be cast for him. Let there be no clashing between the friends of Fillmore and Fremont, because heif cause is one cause.

Philadelphia and Minnesota.

We had supposed that the city of Phila
delphia, from the money she has spent or
the Central Pennsylvania Railroad, from the
long effort she has been making to extend
her Sunbury and Erie road to the Lakes
really desired to cultivate relations with the
West but from the occasional indications
of spleen, jealousy, or other bad spirit in
her papers, calculated, and apparently de.
signed, to irritate the young and vigorous
communities of these regions, she would
seem not to want us or our trade
There is, however, in the NorthAmerican,
the great commercial organ of that city, an
exception to this malignant and suicidal
course. In late number of that paper we
find the following brief but truthful allusion
to our city.
st. Paul, Minnesota, is now said to have a
population of ten thousand souls. In the
year 1919 it did not contain five hundred.
During the present season $4,000 persons
stopped at three of the principal hotels.
Thus this town is rapidly becoming the lead
ing city north and west of Chicago, while
other points mere centres Of speculation, fig
ure ten times more conspicuously in the
newspapers. 1t occupies an admirable posi-
ton, at the head of steamboat navigation
on the Mississippi, and in the course of ten
years hence bids fair to become one of the
second class cities of the Union.

ries, 'perquisites': and all the public money
here expended to back them.
Why, this very Pioneer and Democrat
establishment, from whence this gambling
proposition to bet S., GOO on the Presidential
election comes, is the recipient, annually, ol
over 600 Government patronage Just
look at it, fellow-citizens. They brag about
the streets that they can out-bet us-that
they can bluff" us-but can they out
uots us, in Minnesota even, three weeks
from to-day? That's a question for us to
answer. They are the slaves of Franklin
Pierce and of his masters, who are also mas
ters of all the black slaves of the South !!
Will you in turn remain the white slaves of
the purse proud official slaves of these South
ern drivers Of black slaves It is for yotI
to answer, Freemen of Minnesota. 1t is
for you to answer, men who have been rear
ed at the hearth Of Freedom in the Ameri-
can States. 1t is for you to answer, men of
Free Thought and Free Action, who have
fed from the despotisms of the Old World
to this land of professed Liberty. See that
even here, in State-disfranchised Minncso-
ia, the party of Freedom settles the ques-
ton at the ballot-box. Show these Govern
ment-fed upholders of slavery extension
that our mode of triumph is not by money
but by votes. Let us bluff" them, not
by gambling bets, but by honest Freemen's
ballots. Look to 1T in time before you are

mass meeting in this city to-day. 1t was
most most imposing in numbers and appear

The streets were decorated with flags, &C.,
and presented a holiday appearance. The
windows OF the streets through which the
procession moved were crowded with ladies'.
Several distinguished strangers are here,
among whom are Cassius NJ. Clay, Nathan'l

That is the doctrine (unconscientiously pos

entire South, should be accurately defined

us the art Of war, inspire US with the love

are thoroughly convinced from the study
and investigation which abolition has pro-

IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS
State Prisoners Released.

I The following highly important and inter
esting news is from the St. Louis Intell
gencer of the 10th: sH G
Mr.. Branscombe arrived from Kansas d.
rect yesterday afternoon, on the cars, on his
way to Boston, having in charge with him
the wife of Robinson.
He brings intelligence that on the 10th
Gov. Geary, in company with Judge LIE.
compte, Immediately released Robinson
Brown, Deitzler, Jenkins and the remainder
OF the State prisoners confined there on
a charge of constructive treason. They
were required each of them to give bail in
the sum of $4,000.
| This is supposed to be a mere form, as
the prisoners were released in accordance
with instructions given by the President to
Gov. Geary. nA
There were at the same time confined un-
der guard at Lecompton, fourteen Ere State
men, who were captured during the late fo-
rays by the Pro-slavery forces.
hey were guarded by so Pro-sIavery
men, and had no connection with the State
prisoners, who were guarded before their re-
lease, by the Federal troops.
On the day after the release of the latter
by Judge Lecompte, Lane appeared before
Lecompton with 2, 500 men, sent in a flag of
truce by Mr.. Branscombe, and demanded
the instant and unconditional release of IA
prisoners held by the Pro-sIavery party.
He threatened, if his demand was not in
stantly complied with, that he would burn
the town. t
The prisoners were released, and Lane
marched back to Lawrence.
There were 600 United States soldiers at
LecOmpton at the time, but they did not
offer to interfere.
Gov. Geary was present in the town also.
1t is said that the Governor and the officers
commanding the troops desired the liberia
tion IF the prisoners from the hands of the
Pro-slavery party, and made no resistance to
the demands of Lane.
Gov. Geary had issued proclamation or
dering all hostile parties not to enter the
Territory, and calling on Gen. Smith to stop
Atchison's command from gong into the
Territory.
The Territorial militia has been dsbanded.
In consequence of the proclamation, the
Missourians are quietly disbanding and 60
ing home.
Gov. Geary went to Lawrence and had a
consultation with the leaders there.
They promised to dIsband, if they had as
surances of protection fir, IN the Governor.
The assurances were given, and Lanes
army, it is said, will be disbanded forthwith.
There is prospect of peace and quiet in
the Teri tory.
If the Territorial militia is called out again,
it will be put under the command of Gen
Smith

Free Speech in Maryland.

On Thursday evening l1th, Republican
meeting was organized in Baltimore, for the
avowed purpose of nominating Fremont
electoral ticket for the state of Maryland
The telegraph advised our readers that il
was broken up by mob, and its members
driven into the street and forced to fee for
their lives. From the Baltimore Clipper OF
Friday, we copy more extended account OF
the outrage. Says that journal
Cheers for Buchanan were mingled with
grOans for Fremont. There was also cheer
ing for Fillmore. Kisses and cries of all
kinds made it impossible to be heard.
Groans were given for Mr.. GunnisOn and for
Mr.. Fussell, and for the Black Republicans.
Amid this pandemonium the Presi ent re-
quested all who wished peace and quietness
to take their places. A number did so,
! when the question was put on the adoption
of the address, and carried by the votes of
those near the chair. A motion was then
put and carried to adjourn, the crowd at the
door being too much occupied in making a
noise to notice what was going on. The
noise now became greater than ever. There
were cries to put out the lights and hustle
the covies out. Most of the Republicans
managed to slip away unperceived, but on
MIR. COrkran's endeav0ring to leave the room
he was assaulted and very roughly handled.
lie succeeded in reaching the street, when
his quaker hat was knocked off by some of
the crowd his coat was torn from his back
and he was knocked down. He succeeded
in lining his feet and ran into a doorway
near by when it was shut in his face. He
was then pursued by mob of several hun
dred persons to Baltimore street, and along
Baltimore to Holiday street, where he found
refuge in a house from the fury of his pur-
suers, whose yells, when they discovered
that their prey had escaped them were ter
rifle. 1t was reported that Mr., Gunnison
was also assaulted and beaten by the mob.
The mob, which seemed for the most part to
be composed of the hangers-on of the Sag
Nicht meeting at Rechabite Hall then re-
prired to the Office of the Wreckcr, the
German Fremont paper, in Frederick street,
which they assailed with stones, and ev'nced
their intention of sacking it. The firm in
terference of the watch and police prevent
ed the completion of their designs, and thus
ended the first Republican meeting III Balt-
more.
Still the Republican party is tainted with
sectionalism. As yet in every slave state
except Delaware, where an attempt to hold
Republican meeting had been m 'de, a mob
has been the consequence; but the charge
of sectionalism is persistently sung in our
ears. Men known to entertain Republican
opinions have been driven from their homes
and their property wasted and destroyed.
Still our opponents harp upon sectionallsm.
for the crime" of distributing few copies
each of Summers and Stewards speeches in
slave state, peaceable man was arrested
and thrown into dungeon among the con-
victed malefactors of Southern city. where
he yet remains; but this cry of sectionalism
is kept up! Out upon such charge! Those
who make it know they lie.

Got Sick of 1t!

Hon. John G. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
Border Ruffian candidate for Vice President.
as our readers are already aware, has been
saving the Union, and attempting to save
himself and "Old Buck" by making stump
speeches in several of the northern States.
Mr.. B. has boldly avowed his dsunion senti-
ments on every occasion, provided he is not
elected, but finding that no one paid much
attention to his rawlings, he has quit and gone
home. we copy the following from the
Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th:
"THE PITTsBURG FIzzLE.-A gentleman
of this city, who returned from Pittsburgh
on Saturday morning, confirms the report
noticed in the Gazette, as to the character
of the Black Democratic "Mass" Convention
in that city. 1t was complete failure. The
party were ashamed of it. A train consist
ing of twenty-one cars, was sent to West
moreland county, with the confident ex-
pectation that they were to be filled, by at
seast fifteen hundred people. The train re-
turned, however, with only eight cars, which
were not full. So it was on other roads. Mr..
Breckenridge was the big gun on the occa-
sion. lie 'elt bad of course. He was in a
conditr to feel bad. The Tippecanoe dem
ons ration discouraged him, and defeat has
been staring him in the face ever since. He
visited Mr.. Buchanan at WLea,and, where
the candidates" digested the Maine election
news. Mr.. Breckenridge found this food tco
strong for his organs. 1t male him suck. He
at once abandoned the stump, and passed
through this city Friday evening, to his home
in Kentucky, wher, he will be confined by
his indisposition until November, when he
will die-politically. The gentleman has
our sympathles. Not because Of his ap-
preaching defeat, for we rejoice in it, but be-
cause he is to fall in such bad cause. Mr..
Breckenridge is not alone in his Affections.
Indeed, his sufferings are nothing compared
with those of the sage of Wheatland. He,
having in his old age merged himself into
the platform, is deserving of an extra amour
of commisseration. The misery Of the can
didates is shared, too, by the whole family
of spoils-seekers, of whom it may truly be
aid since the Maine election. The whole
head is sick and the whole heart is weak.
