PIcE PoCEETs These pests of society are
becoming alarmingly numerous in this city and
the evil is getting past all patient endurance
Not day passes without some instances Of
their light fingered work, and as yet but very
few offenders have been caught and secured
The market ground is especially troubled with
this class of thieves. Scarcely market day
goes by without some losses from the pockets
of the purchasers. On Saturday last three per-
sons, two men and one woman were relieved Of
SOS, SIS and 81, respectively, and on Thursday
three ladies lost small amounts in the same way.
These thieves are eagerly sought for by the PO-
lice, but they work SO adrOitly and convey them
selves away go quickly that it is impossible 10
secure them. A special police has been station
ed on Ontario street in order to catch some Of
the Iogues who know the regular police, and
keep out Of the way of them. It IS not now
safe for any person to carry yaluables either in
a crowd or on the street. Even public, Ie-
ligious meetings are not exempt fIOm these de-
predations. Last evening two ladies at different
churches were robbed of small sums of money.
Whether generation of rogues are being
brought up here, or whether those from other
cities have congregated here, we know not, but
true it is, that VIC are overrun with such evil
minded persons.
The County Fair ground viii no doubt be the
scene of some gains to the robbers and loss to
the visitors. Keep a sharp watch for them.

COUNTY FAIR-The Cuyahoga County Fair
will commence tomorrow, to continue three
days Every arrangement has been made by
the officers to have it pass off in a profitable
and successful manner. Good Accommodations
are provided for horses and cattle, and the build
ings, stables, ring. &c, will all be under the
charge of efficient directors.
We hope to see an exhibition unsurpassed by
any County Fair in the State, and in the dis
play of vegetables we believe it may surpass
the State Fair
The grounds are upon Ohio street, between
Erie and BrownelL Let us have such crowd
as has not come together to any previous Fair.

Ex Gov. FOOte on Douglas, Buchanan, etc.
Time was when Ex. Gov Foote, of Mississip-
Pi, was one of the most rampant Democrats of
the United States Senate. He removed to Cal
nOrnia, fiOurished there fol a season as Demo-
cratic Know Nothing, and is now resident of
Memphis, Tennessee. He is not exactly a fire.
eater himself, but he has become one of the most
voraeious eaters of fre-eaters to be found at
the South. By invitation of his cid friends
Gov. FOOte recently made speech at Prentiss,
Miss, at once characteristic and telling -
The points of his speech were an expression
of his delight at the late rapid growth of the
Union sentiment at the South, as proved by the
sentiments recently ayOwed by Senators Ham
mond and jefferson Davis-a lofty panegyric
on Senator Douglas, who, Mr.. Foote said, had
ever been, and still is, fighting the battles of the
South, an endorsement of Mr.. Fillmore's Ad-
ministrstion, and denunciation of those of
Pierce and Buchanan. We clip few reada-
bic paragraphs:

Another fact in connection with this inter
view with the President l may meltion, and it
is this: That one or two days after it transpir-

Presidency intended TO make the Aanzas policy
a test upon the Democratic party, and that no
man would be tolerated by his Administration
who did not approve and support this policy.

ANOTHER FIRE.-Saturday night, about IL
O'Clock, fire wss discovered in the rear of some
buildings situated between Pearl and Columbus
St., just back ofthe Stillman House. The alarm
was given, but it being so far away from the En-
gine houses of the east side, the fire had made
much progress before it could be subdued. Three
houses and stable were consumed with the
most OF their contents
The stable belonged to Mr.. J. Conrad, and
was entirely consumed, with four buggies, sew
e;al harnesses, DC. Insured for $500 in the
Washington Union Co. From the stable the fire
spread to dwelling house one and half ste
ries high, built Of wood and owned by Mr.
Conrad, which was burned to the ground. Loss
s70O-insured for s4OO in Washington Union.
The house occupied by Mr.. Conrad then
caught Ere, but was e1tinguished without injury
to the frame. The loss on furniture and house
amounted to about $500 for which amount it
was insured in Washington Union
a one story wooden house, occupied by Mr..
Lowe Wyle was entirely destroyed Loss about
S200-no insurance.
AOne and halfstory dwelling house, owned
by F Kjz was also burned to the ground. Loss
on house and furniture about SI4OO. House in
sured for $500 in the Cleveland Mutual and
furniture for $3.50 in Washington Union
Eight or ten cords of wood belonging to Mr.
Conrad were burned
The total loss amounts to between $1,000
and $4,000, the greater part of which falls
upon Mr. Conrad
The origin of the fire is unknown, but is sup
posed to be incendiarism.
Nos. 4, 3, 9 and 10 Engine Companies, No
Hook & Ladder, and Alert Hose Companies
were promptly on the ground as soon after the
alarm as possible, and did good service.

l am far, though, from deemlng it certain, or
even probable, that the Democratic party in its
present disjointed and fragmentary condition,
will be able to resist the Black Republican
PhalanX in 1860, and prevent the disastrous re-
suit referred to. In the first place, it will be
impossible for the Democratic Convention ex-
pected TO assemble in Charleston to agree, either
upon a platform or candidate; OF at any rate, no
such agreement is probable, except through the
employment of concentrating agencies Of the
most corrupt and disgraceful character. Had
the proposition OF Mr.. Crittenden been acqui-
esced in, the Kansas issue would have been at
once suppressed, and kept out of the Presidential
campaign of 1860 By opposing and deafeating
it, and bringing about the adoption Of the ab-
surd English Bill, and especially by the ilIibe-
raj and Inscriptions opposition presented to
Mr.. Douglass re election IN Illinois, the Kansas
issue must inevidently constitute one of the
great questions to be decided in the next Pres
identisl election. In the Charleston Cenven-
tion it will be now impossible to suppress It.
The Douglasites in that body will be oonstrain-
ed by every honorable and patriotic considera-
ton to claim an insertion, in the platform of the
party. of resolution plainly and emphatically
assertive Of the great principle for which their
ilustrious leader Is now so fearlessly and elo-
quently contending. The anti Democratic Dem
Ocrats Of that body, who beIive that Con-
stiiufiOa can Be made operative among a free peO-
Plein 0ppositson to theH oicn tri, will Of course
tend for the insertion Of resolution in the
platform of the party deelarative of their own

MORNING LEADER.
The Address OF John w. Forney.

| The Address of JOHN W FORNET, in win
dicatiOn OfPopul1r Sovereignty, and in reply to
the assaults Of the Lccompton organs" occu-
pies eight columns of the Press of Thursday.
/ 1t is an elaborate and able document, indepen-
dent in tone, and seOrehiug in facts and cOnclu-
siOns. Mr.. Forney was the best and most faith
ful Of friends to Mr. Buchanan, and to his su-
Perhuman efforts and personal sacrifices he is
directly indebted for his elevation to the Presi-
dency. But Mr.. Fomey had the manhood to
differ with the President on the Kansas policy
Of the Administration, and would not become
i nose of wax in the hands OF power, when
great wrong was to be eOnsummated. For this
Col. FOrney has been pursued with bitterness
and Tenom by the Administration and its or
gans. IIe has been tradueed and denounced
without stint, and all because he had the indie
pendence to stand up with Douglas in defence
OF the principles of Popular SOyerigty, against
the odious and oppressive measures embodied
in the Lecompton English scheme Mr.. Bu-
chanan's course towards Col. FOmey shows him
to be cold, selfish, and heartless, as well as
trearherOus, Principle-iorsaking relentless, and
dcsPotic. The address proves this beyond
peradyenture. Such is the character Of Presi
dent Buchanan, and his is the Administration
that the people of Ohio are invited to endorse
on the second Tuesday of October. They will
not do it, but will rebuke the President and his
policy in thunder-tOncs.
We find in Col. Forney's address few devel-
opments with reference to the course of Mr.
Buchanan, in addition to those made ia his
Tarrytown speech, and heretofore published in
the LEADER. With reference TO the UMoS's
denial of the alleged conversation with Mr.. Bu-
chanan with reference to his Kansas policy,
Col Fomey says:
Not only did the conversation as detailed take
place, but, as the many friends to whom / re-
lated it after / left the Presidential mansion,
will remember, many other things were omit
ted in the statement which 1 gave at Tarry-
town Among others, the President said to me:
"If you and Walker and Douglas will unite in
support of my Kanzas policy, the people OF
KanZas will vote at the election which Is TO
come off on the 2Ist December" Chat election,
it will be remembered, having been called under
the auspices of the minority Legislature, for
the purpose Of putting through the Lecompton
Constitution, and was held under cireumstan-
ces of fraud and infamy which will not soon be
fOrgotten.)
He said further, u know that you have the
strong side of this question. 1 know that you
can carry off the people, bu; appeal to you to
stand with me, because, if l do not adhere to
my new policy, Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi will probably seeede from the Union" 1t
is probable that the memory of Mr.. Buchanan
will be stimulated when he reads these senten-
ces. As for the Washington Union, whether it
speaks for him or not, in the above extract,
am unable to say. lift does, the memory Of the
President is most defective.

INCREASE OF FREE so1L SENATORS.

A few years since, when represented you in
the National Senate, there was but one open and
hagrant enemy to your domestic institutions TO
be found in that body. Afterwards the number
multiplied somewhat. Under the salutary inf1u-
ence Of the Compromise measures Of 1850, and
the wise and patriotic performance of Executive
duty by Mr.. Fillmore, the number of Black Re
publican Senators was reduced to four. The un-
fortunate policy of Mr.. Pierce increased this
class of political worthless considerably. l be-
lieve that there are now some twenty-three
Senators prepared to speak and to vote in oppo-
sition to your most vital interests whenever an
opportunity shall be offered to them.

BUCHANAN AwED BY the sEcEss

BUCHANAN ANt-D III THE sECESSlONlSTb.
Had Mr.. Buchanan remained where he was
in September last, in regard to the submission
OF the Lecompton Constitution to the people Of
Kansas before the new State should be admitted
into the Union; had he even remained silent as
70 this matter, and cOntented himself as he
should have done, with awaiting the action of
Congress on this subject, and then either ap-
proving or vetoing such legislation as Congress
might adopt, as he might find 10 be right and
expedient, he would have been able to keep his
party united during the whole of the last Con-
gressiOual session; no issue between himself
and Mr.. Douglas would necessarily have arisen;
the Democratic party, with unbroken strength,
in the free States Of the North, upon the basis
of popular sovereignty, would have been able to
meet and overthrow the Black Republican fac
ton everywhere; the victories achieved last au-
tumn over this pestilent faction would have been
renewed and multiplied; and before the present
moment there would have been an end to Free
soilism and Black Repubicanism forever By
pursuing contrary course; by yielding to the
silly and indecent menaees of the most shallow,
self-sufhcient, and really impotent demagoques
that the South has ever known-men who had
only to be met with boldness and energy to be
overthrOwn and put down, he has effectually
broken up and destroyed his party in the North,
throwing upon its leaders, his special supporters
the necessity of opposing great principle Of
popular liberty, the negation or enfeeblement oi
which, in the public mind, would be inevitably
fatal to our system Of civic freedom, and ha,
thus presented an opportunity to the Black Re
publican faction Of strengthening themselves BY
becoming the ostensible champions Of princi
pie which has been always heretofore recog
nized as the most essential feature of the Dem
/ ocratie creed

But, the fact lie, that these bank aivertisements

compelling the banks to pay this petty tax for the
benefit of any single newspaper. Let them be re-

from tbeebligston of paying any one for its publ

declaration, the right to receive such pay is to be
bestowed upon partisan grounds alone.
