"The Union Saved"-. Again /!

The Williamsport Press states that on
the 4th Of July, Gen. PACKER made a
speech at :Apollos Woodwards residence,
in which he "sared the Iaicn and repealed
tie Higher Law!"
We have one thing to propose seriously
to the people. Every Fall,th Democracy
make powerful appeal to the sovreigns,
aud "save the Union" All right: but,
next Fall, the "Uuion is in DANGER" again,
and the dear people are patriOtically ex-
horted once more to help the dear Demo
cracy into office, so as to "save the Union"
over again. Now this "savirs the Union"
SO often, is hot work, and awfully expen-
sive, for in one way or other-in State
Taxes if by no other means-thc tax pay
ers have to foot the bill. This footing the
bill is becoming little irksome, and some
of the unterriicd think to FOOT BILL
Packer may be the very best way Of dis
soIoiny the Union between Democracy and
the State Treasury; and to "save the
Union" between Liberty and Government,
they will vote for DAVID. A party which
has to "save the Union" every year-by
"daubing with the untempered mortar" Of
giving up everything to Slavery, and con-
temning the Law of God-should be rcpu
dated. Let the Republicans try thei,
hand at it. Doing justly and loving mercy,
there will be no necessity for any hypo
critical cant about "saving the Union y
for it is in no danger except from the ag
grcssion Of Slavery, and the more We yield
to it, the more it demands, like the leech
EXCITEMENT IN KANSAS. s.-Since tho
Yankees have converted Leavenworth into
Free City, some Of the old Common
Council resigned, and a new election wa:
held, with the following result:
Free State candidates, over 900
Slave State ID
On election day, Lyle, the border ruffiar
Recorder of the county, offered German
a Slave State Ticket, but the German threw
it away; Lyle commenced abusing him
and fight ensued, in which Lyle wa
stabbed fatally. He was one Of the fore
most in driving away the FREQ Stat'
men last year, and in the fight was mar
named NuHer, who Lyle had assisted il
driving of, and who was accused Of having
killed Lyle. The Slave State men swor'
terribly that they would hang Haller befor'
morning; bu. the new Mayor, and 10
of Yankees, (behind Shapes Riaes) wer'
"about" and the hanging did not come off
Haller was, however, committed for trial
by the Infamous Lecompte, under whom
F%yt was acquitted. Ofcourse, if Halle
did strike the fatal blow in the melee, h,
must suffer although the scalper Of an in
offending cripple escaped free!
New York RIoTs.-The N. Y. Cour
OF Appeals Is composed Of s members,
Of whom are Dem, l Rep. and ! Am
Those who decided the new Police Bill o
New York city to be constitutional, wer
5 Dem. and l Rep. Notwithstanding thi
highest decision from their own party, som
of the Democratic leaders in the city ar
eudcavoring to thwart it, by instigatinI
mobs among the ignorant. They told tn
Germans the new Police would preyen
their drinking lager beer, and there hav
been riots and bloodshed-policc and cit
zens killed, or the Military called out, al
most every day since the 4th. Mayo
Wood and his Council skulk from adm
in supprcssing the outbreaks, and it is sal
the discharged Police are mingled anon
the rioters. So far, the Police have main
tanned their ground, but the spirit Of recb
less anarchy manifested by Democrat
leaders was never equalled in the country
Life and property are becoming unsafe i
the heart Of that vast city.
