The slavery mask Rising.

The article to-day from the Albany Journal
discloses another feature in the great conspiracy
to secure slavery extension. Walker and Soule
are but carrying out in Nicaragua the pro-
gramme of the Cincinnati platform 80 eagerly
endorsed in all its parts by Mr.. Buchanan, and
it is utter folly for any honest opponent Of the
extension of human bondage, to attempt to
shut his eyes to the developments in the United
Establish Walkers slave government in Nicara-
qua, and the next move will be for annexation
to the United States. The election Of Buchanan
will consummate it. Nothing is more certain.

PREMATURE ExPLosIoN.-In little town in
Ohio, one day last week, one hundred guns were
fired by the democracy over their recent tremen-

next day, when further news came in, that the
Republicans had the decided advantage, taking
all things into consideration, and that all they
had really gained was canal commissioner by
about two thousand majority, when they had
counted on thirty to sixty thousand.

till they get out of the bushes. &,

THAT FORCED LETTER AaA1N.-The better and
more sensible portion of the Buchanan leaders
hereabouts are now heartily ashamed of the let
ter purporting to have been written by Secre-
tary Marcy to Governor Grimes and deny that
the forgery was perpetrated by them. 1t is
whispered about in private circles by the know
ing ones that the crime was perpetrated by ac-
quescence poll-books Hall, assisted by a certain
old line Wing Of this city, and the general opin-
ion is that the job was very bungling affair.
1t has internal evidence of having emanated from
men under an intellectual and moral, as well as
political eclipse.
We should like to ask them, one of these
mornings when "clothed in their right minds" if
they ever are, what is the difference in the crime
of forging mans signature to note and put
ting the same signature to a letter? To attempt
to pass off the fabby and bombastic imaginings
Of their distempered minds as q serious and gen.
uine State paper from Secretary Marcy is the
very height of absurdity. It isa shallow attempt
at imposition which will render its silly authors
ridiculous for some time to come

WHAT AUDAcIrY.-The Richmond Enquirer
is Mortified at the audacious inroads of Black
Republicanism in the Old Dominion, and calls it
the earliest practical illustration of Bolts doc
trine recently inculcated there, the first dis
tinct foreshadowing Of the consequences Of
Black Republican propagandism" in that State,
says "no conservative citizen can fail to be i'm
pressed by the admonition which the occurrence
conveys" This "admonition" is to resist it by
mob violence, hanging, scurging and driving out
every man who dares to raise his voice for the
election of JIG. Fremontsthere.e A little band
of Fremonters dared tosraisea polesand placeSon
it a Fremont flag, at Portsmouth, when the ut
most excitement prevailed. AThe mayor called
together his council and ordered the pole to be
taken down; which being resisted by the few, q
general riot ensued ending in bloodshed.
Comments are unnecessary. Where is the
freedom of speech and the rights guaranteed to
every American citizen to speak and act in such
cases according to the dictates of his own con-
science? Where is sectionalism il not where
every voice raised for freedom is at once put
down by violence, as in every slave State in the
Union? If this is the liberty guaranteed to US
by the Constitution, where is oppression?

Fuller's Computing Telegraph.


The following complimentary and well deserv-
ment, from the Washington Telegraph, of De.
cember II, is worthy Of reading
The CALCULATING MAcH1NE.-We used to
machine; but we have seen it and its ingenious
proprietor, Mr.. Fuller The rapidity and accu-
racy with which all business problems are solv-
ed is truly surprising. 1t needs only to be seen
to be admired. Although an American inven-
ton, it has been extensively sold in England,
France, Germany. and Holland. Upwards of
thirty of the principal London bankers have it
in use. 1t computes interest, at every possible
rate per cent, and upon any sum of money, for
any length of time, both at three hundred and
sixty and three hundred and sixty. y.fye days to
the year, and has most perfect time-telegraph
to compute the number Of days any note has to
run. To work equations of payments, or aver
age of accounts, is one of its conveniences.-
Copies have been purchased in Washington by
all the departments, for use in the public offices,
as well as by the principle bankers, merchants
and mechanics. Less time is required to obtain
an answer than to prepare the statement. Full
printed directions accompany the work. 1t is
learned by one or two hours study and prac-
tice. 1t toccuped a prominent place in the Crys-
tai Palace.
In response to some questions yesterday, he
stated in less time than the questions could be
prepared or the answers recorded, that the Ro-
tunda of the Capitol, being 0feet in diameter,
would contain 1880 persons, and. allow each q
square feet Or Is BY. Is inches. The Chrystal
Palace, he said, being 1851 feet long and 400
wide, with an additional acre to the rransept or
centre, measures 18 acres, and would contain at
the same rate, 347 900 persons upon, the ground.
The population of the globe, being estimated at
sO0,0o0,O0o, could stand upon forty square
miles, or an area of six and $500 miles square
If 900 millions of persons pass away every thirty
years, and the world should be six thousand
years old, this would be equal to 200 times 900
millions. Tins the entire number of persons
would have standing room on 200 times 40
square miles, or 5000 square miles of land, or
triAe less than ninety miles square.
If 900 millions die every thirty years, in one
year thirty millions die. If 80 millions die in
365 days, in one day $4,000 die. If in "a hours
$4,000 die, how many per hour Ans. 3,42O.
If in so minutes this number die, how many per
minute Ans. 81.
The expense of the United States House of
Representatives at Ss der day, amounts to l, ,944

eB The most ridiculous farce of the season
vas enacted before hia Honor Just;co, ,Horr;o

eB The most ridiculous farce of the season
was enacted before his Honor Justice Harris,
Tuesday afternoon. It was the trial Of Constable
Wedge for an assault upon the boys procession
Saturday night. A large number Of witnesses
were examined who are men Of character and
standing in this community. 1t was proven
that the procession stopped in front of Marion
Hall, where there was Republican meeting
that they made considerable nose-that they
were twice politely asked to move on and not
disturb the meeting, and refused in insolent Ian
guage. There was then some little fuss by
which bass drum lost head or two. Consta-
BILE Wedge exerted himself as an officer to pre-
serve the peace, and keep order, as many testi
fed. Mr.. Sales said Wedge lnterposed to pre-
vent man from pitching into him, and several
interesting little lads, Master Ezekiel Morgan
and Master Richard Fennimore, the first gen.
tfeman of family, and the second wearing very
respectable goatee, and both individuals noted
plary morals, swore that Mr.. Wedge assaulted
Master Morgan with club or cane, and Mr..
Wedge was fined three dollars. No one saw
Wedge have the club or cane but Morgan, and
no one in the crowd saw Wedge strike or offer
to strike, save Morgan Fennimore only con-
frming the testimony SO far as to say he was
afraid Wedge would strike him. Master Morgan
being asked what he did on being struck lin the
back of the neck) said he run down to Jefferson
street for butcher knife to cut the black hearts
out of the Black Republicans (Reproved by the
court.)
This is decidedly the richest farce of the sea-
son, and one of which the Buchaniers are now
heartily sick. But Master Morgan and Master
Fennimore are martyrs, and will remain SO till
after the election. The other parties arrested
have their trial to-day.

The Ruffians Confident of Making
KanSas q Slave state.

IN the humbug election in Kansas on the 9th
inst, it will be remembered that vote was ta-
ken on the question of holding Convention to
form State Constitution. 1t was carried in the
affirmative, of course, there being nobody to
vote in the negative. The Free State men have
already adopted a free Constitution, and had
no motive to 60 near the polls. The whole
election was "a swindling farce, having tor its
sole objectto make Kansas Free State. This
is the view taken by the Leayenworth Herald,
the chief organ of Atchison and his party in
the Territory:
The people have voted for Convention, and =,
the Legislature will doubtless order the election
soon, perhaps next Spring. We suppose the
Legislature will have the fixing of the ratio of
representation as we see nothing in the act to
that effect. Our friends should look to this
question it is one of vast magnitude. This will
bring the issue up directly. In this way we
will proceed legally and constitutionaly In
this acay soe eau make Kansas Slave State, and
preserve it from the foul blotch of abolition ia.
naticism. At the ballot-box we can determine
for ourselves the character ofthe institutions of
the future State of Kansas. At the present
time our prospects are bright and cheering.
But one more thing is needed now to fix slave
ry upon Kansas beyond the hope of removal,
and that is to elect Buchanan to the Presiden
cy. Gov. Geary is playing directly into the
hands of Atchison and the Border-Rufian De.
mocracy throughout the country. If Mr.. Bu-
chanan is elected, Gov. Geary will be continued
in office during the Thirty-ffth Congress, and
will be just the man to perfect the work lnaugu-
rated by President Pierce and carried out so
near to contamination by Gov Shannon.
With the election of Fremont to the Presiden-
vi whose sKfpbRtRf Will i'be taff"qqsed zee to- Eaqssa
who will see that they are protected in all the
rights which belong to American citizens under
the Constitution. They could also then calmly
and confidently await the action of Congress
upon the Free Constitution adopted at Topeka,
and the Slave Constitution which will be adopted
next spring under the auspices of the mob-leg-
islature, knowing that ruffianism in Congress
would be held in check by the Presidents veto.
Let us, then relieve them of the bloody despo-
tism under which they have so long suffered.
