Celebration.

A celebration OF the Gray's Ridge Sab
bath Scho !, was held in Henderson's Grove,
Colerain Township, on Saturday Sept. 2sth.
The School was convened in the School
House al O'Clock, A. NJ. After suitable
religious services, procession, composed
OF Sabbath School children and others, was
marc he'd in an orderly manner to the Grove,
where seats had been previously provided.
The march was senlivened by some soul
cheering music from the Pleasant Grove
Choir.
After prayer, refreshments, in the shape
OF candies, cakes and pies, were served, to
which the children and The crowd ganerally,
did ample justice. A creditabe report,
showing the number of verses from Scrip
ture Shorter Chaiechi,m, and Psalms, Gem.
mitted to memory by the children, was reid
and iavorably received.
An able and interesting address suitab e
to the occasion was delivered by the Rev.
Armstrong. There were in attendance from
this and the neighboring schools, near two
hundred scholars. These and the friends
OF the cause were estimated TO amount to
about three-hundred. Every thing seemed
to pass off pleasantly and disposition to
advance the Sabbath School cause was
manifest. OBSERVER.

FLUSHING. Oct. {

Mr.. EDITOR: We shall not spar at each
other this time, but we shall make a thrust
at your printers devil or whoever it was
that made our last communication charge
the printers o: our village with getting shot
occasionally, when there is not one in all
the town to defend them.
We have sut one item to send this time,
and that is notice of the Democratic Sena-
to -ial Convention which assembled here on
Monday last The different townships were
not so fully represented as they w,re at the
Republican Convention. After. Harrison
had cast complimentary vote for DR..
Berkley of Cadiz, DR.. VOORHEES, cf Flush
ing was nominated by acclamation. So our
corner OF the world is honored with two
senatorial candidates.
In accepting the nomination the DR..
made very neat speech, parts of which
were certainly worthy of applause from
Democrats, but they were either not very
aPpreciatlve or not very enthusiastic, for il
was received without approval. The DR..
would defend the old democratic primo iples
as promulged by Jefferson. He was not
sanguine ol success, but in view of defeat,
said, 'let it come
DIR. Berkley was next called on, and al
the start contradicted DR.. " by asserting
that the democracy have lately promulgated
the neD do;trine of squatter sovereignty.
He affirmed that there was no issue between
the two great parties, that the Black Repub-
lIcans have no principles to CONTEND for; if
they nave and any of that party were pres
ent, he should be glad to hear what they
are. As no one arose to enlighten him, e
suppose there were none of that sooty lass
in attendance.
Another speaker thought that if every
democrat would make convert from repub-
licanism, aid then each one induce another
to go and vote with him, they could elect
their Senator. We think So 100. Alas.

GFlti is now definitely ascertained VIVA,
broke the telegraphic cable. A correspon.
dent of the Philadelphia North American
writes:
For years have been hoping some of the
knights of The pen would take up their cud-
gels and chastise this literary tender, (Mar.
tin Farquhar Tupper) who seizes every pos
sible opportunity 10 write very bad sonnet,
and get 1t printed. He really does have his
say in everything. His last sonnet on the
Atlantic cable, there is no doubt, was the
cause of its breaking. Nothing on earth
could stand such strain as that.

Constitutional Amendments.

We have published for six months the
proposed Constitutional Amendments upon
which the people have TO rast their vote.
Some of these are of vital Importance, and
all demand the careful consideration of
every voter. We have printed our tickets
with the affirmative to each, and persons
not choosing to vote for the Amendments
have but to tear off the "Yes."-
The Bank law, Annual Sessions, Single
Districts, and Change of District Court, are
the most important. Read them carefully,
and come up prepared to cast your vote
knowingly.

REMEMBER, that every vote Tor the pa
trot freeman SALMON p. CHASE, is blow
well aimed sustaining our noble State in the
heroic stand she has taken for the rights ant
liberties of her citizens against the ruffian
assaults of drunken U. s. Marshals.
REMEMBER, that every vote for HENRY
B. PAYNE is an endorsal OF the ioray o
drunken U. S. Marshalls upon the orderly
citizens oil our Stale.
REMEMBER, that every vote Tor HENRY
B. PAYNE is an endorsal of the tdious Dred
Scott decision, which seeks to strike down
the sovereignty of every Free State.
REMEMBER, that HENRY B. PAYNE has
declared that "onc of the first measures o!
bis administration would be the repeal OF
the habeas corpus act" "That sheet an hor
OF our liberties -
REMEMBER, that the Democratic party
is seeking TO elevate TO the Office of Cover
nor of Ohio man whom many of the bes,
citizens of Cleveland have sworn they would
not believe under oath.
REMEMBER, that in order to rebuke
this Udious Democratic party, every freeman
must be at his post. On the eve of the bat
tie of Trafalgar Lord Nelson, addressing
his men, said, England expects erery man
10 do his duty" FREEMESoF Ono, the op-
pressed millions of the Old World and of
our own country expect eueryman to do his
duty. He who will falter in such an hour,
and with such a leader, is not worthy the
name OF Freeman.

Prospects OF Kansas-Extraordlnar Admission.
Hon. A. II. Stephens, Of Georgia, lately de-

Democratic side. His admissions as to the
prospects Of freedom in all the Territories in
the United States, is startling but we sup
pose, we'll founded and responsible.
Speaking Of the natural laws which inevit-
ably limit the extension Of slavery, he said the
''law of population entirely forbade such ex-
tension. Upwards Of twenty millions OF
whites, with all their great social advantages
