chanan meeting at this place on the 4th The
use of it was entirely unauthorized, as I am
not in favor of q party whose success would
tend to degrade free labor. 1t is not improb-
able that may some day desire to make Kan

duce Slavery there, thereby shutting myself
and my children out from the possibility of

hagn The trial of Preston Brooks for n

Ban The trial of Preston S. Brooks, for the
assault upon Senator Sumner, came up Tues
day, in the Circuit Court, Washington. Sen
ator Sumner was not present, he having de
clined to take any part in the proceedings
A number of witnesses we're examined in re
ference to the assault. Extracts from Mr.
Sumner'sspeech were read. Mr.. Brooks made
a speech, asserting that the law offered nc
adequate remedy for the ofense committed
against his State, and avowing his determine
tion to assert her rights. Judge Crawford
sentenced the defendant to pay fine of $500
and Brooks then accompanied his friends to
the House of Representatives.

will be found notices for application for char
tering banks in this County. Besides these,
applications are published for Bank at this
place to be called the "Northern Bank Of
Pennsylvania" with capital of $l00, 900, and
also for the " Bradford County Bank" to be
located at this place, with capital of $3.50,
900. Making in all four Banks, with an ag-
gregate capital of S450,0O0. We suppose
when they shall all be in operation, money
will be so plenty that it will hardly be worth
picking up in the streets, and every body's
pockets will be lined with feathers"

Bsg~ The freemen of this County were never
more intefested.in o. political contest than in
the one to be decided at November next. The
great issues at stake are thoroughly under
stood and appreciated. We he,r from every
part of the county the most cheering accounts.
The attempts of the Buchaners to evade the
true issues will not avail Intelligent and in
dependent voters, who have always adhered
to the Democratic organization, are daily de-
claring that they cannot follow the lead of the
South farther and are coming out for FIRE.
MONT AND FREEDOM. The unreserved
and degrading abnegaton of self, made by Mr..
Buchanan is rearing up the platform, in place
of himself, has satisfied voters, who were in
credulous before, that by voting for him, they
are merely endorsing the platform and voting
to perpetuate the administration of PIERCE
We give this timely notice that if any County
in the State intends to " do better than Brad
ford, she must be up and doing.

JoHN A. DIX UPoN Col FREMoNr-In 1S4S,
Hon John A. Dix, in speech in the Senate Of
the United States in favor of ascertaining and
paying certain claims in California, delivered
March %, endorsed Col Fremont as follows :
" In the execution Of these objects, the young
and accomplished officer at the head of our
troops, Col. Fremont, exhibited a combination
of energy, promptitude, sagacity and prudence,
which indicated the highest capacity for civil
and military command; and, in connection with
what he has done for the cause of science, it
has given him reputation at home and abroad,
of which men much older and more experienced
than himself might well be proud. That the
country will do justice to his valuable and dis
tingnished services, l entertain not the slightest
Doubt

Mr.. BUCHANAN's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
Tho lJobjLe Rorjsfcr cave

The whole tenor of this letter is manly,
straightforward, and to the point. His posi-
tion is clearly defned-no room for doubt
no chance for cavil. He plants himself on the
broad platform as declared by the late con-
vention, and to that he means to confne him
self, On the slavery question he is as sound
as the most ultra southern could DESIRE and if
such man on such platform cannot carry
the votes of the whole country against all the
isms of SAM Beeeher, & Co, then, indeed, is
the republic in danger"
