United S,..e.. whose FIRST great duty It t. guard
our republican system sgaisst such attempts 10
destroy II, making it.elf party TO sae 'rau'' Ana
welcouiI these impudent cheats to seat 10 'oei'
own body. Indeed, shat else could be eNpecped
Of a senate which had already dlsgrsced it.elt IN
the eyes Of the matt " and the world by giving 1"
aid. courtrnsuce aud support tn the Border kH1iin
intruders from Missouri. Who had driven the people
Of Kansas from the polls AID returned Legislature
to suit themsrlve.'
But tbs horrible corruption. this attempt 70
substitute fraud. false vo:ing and false returns IN
place Of the freedom e choice on the part ot tns
people. has sscended even higher than the United
States Senate. The Federal Executive Admins
tra,ion has fully come into this scheme of keeping
t,elf and ts party in power BY the use ot these
infamous mesns. The whole project Of the Bor-
der. Rutfian usurpation in Kansas, if it did not
originate in President Pierces Cabinet was fully
indorsed and supported BY it; while President Bd-
ehaDsn, intent upon forcing upon Kansas the bogus
Lecoupton document which pretended to be the
draft Of a State Constitution sanctioned by the
people Of that Territory, turned Robert J. Walker
out Of the Office of Governor because he refused to
aid this scheme by becoming an accompice after
the fact to the forgery Of election returns.
Compared with this system Of fraud, mere vio-
ence at the pollf, even though carried to the ex'
tent Of not srd MURDER i, but trivial occurrence.
Violence may be repelled. Force msy be met with
force. TIE very strocity Of such acts excites the
public horror aud indignation, and tends to pre-
vent their recurrence. The system of cheating
which the pseudo Democratic party, after amply
trying both violence and fraud, seems now incne1
to adopt as pecnliarly its own, Is OF far more
dar gerous character. The remedy against it by
appeal from the false returns is, at best, very
slow and expensive process, and when the BODY to
which the appeal is made is itself corrupt, and
party to the very frauds appealed against, what
hope can there be of redress There is, in fact,
no hope except in az energetic rising OF the people,
an in the hurlipg from power of an unworthy set
of men, who, no longer trusting TO the support of
a majority which they have ceased to have, are
now attempting to prolong their ill-used power by
undermining the very foundations of republican
government.

All classes and conditions Of men will rejoice to
hear that the question Of the location Of the Quar-
antine is at length settled. The Commissioners
have reported, and the State Officers have adopted
their report in favor of the construction Of isl.

and the erection OF the Quarantne buildings there

that the cost of keeping the troops upon the island

The ospropcrtion Of numbers is striking, and
explains at once the wish Of the majority to shake

that sooner or !ster this will be done, in spite Of
diplomacy; but, as the existing Governments of
Europe, with the single exception of Russia, are
interested in upholdng the Turkish rule, as 8
matter of course this revolution of the Turkish
Christians is not likely to succeed until European
revolution upsets the protectors Of Turkey.

so well-in the city named after the sweep
ing Sacramento. But who can tell what a
day may bring forth? Here we see the sud
den, untimely end of one who was amiable
gifted, and who was looking forward to a
long career of honor and fame; and perhaps
it may be my lot to be shortly laid in the
grave; and perhaps in this assemblage some
one may be called upon to address some re-
marks over my poor lifeless body-even as |
have been called upon on the present occa-
sion; and if this should be so, | pray that
that friend may accord to me as much of
praise and as little of blame as will be con-
sistent with the truth.
In conclusion, would remark that have
no words sufficient to express my own per
sOnal regret | have lost warm personal
friend. | may find others, but shall not
often be able to find friends that have loved
in other years. | shall not often find those
to whom | can, as l could to him, talk of the
old familiar times and the lessons | taught
him in early life-of the virtues and exam
pie of his parents-of his mothers, his poor
afflicted mothers affection and love-of his
old contests-his old hopes so often broken
shall not often find friends like these, nor
can the breach which death has made be so
easily repaired.
Let me hope for myself and us all, that
when We have filed our allotted space in
this world when we are attended bv weep
ing friends, for the purpose of removing us
to our last resting place, that it shall not be
said Of us that we have not lived without
purpose but rather that we have gathered
friends in the days Of our manhood that we
have left fruits to bloom when we have de-
parted. Let us remember, in the words of
the poet, that

HEAT AND DRoUGnr AT THE SouTH-Ac-
counts from the South report that the wealth
er is very warm and dry. A letter from
South Carolina, dated August 9th, is pub
lished in the Journal of Commerce, from
which we make this extract
The weather is excessively warm at this
time; the mercury ranging from 80 to 100
deg. during the day. Corn, cotton, and
other crops are suffering much for the want
ofrain, having had none Of any consequence
for the last four weeks Consequently you
cannot imagine how the crops have suffered
under this burning sun during this period
The crops Of corn and cotton four weeks
ago never bid fairer for a large yield through
out the South. Now the prospect is greatly
blasted. All the rain that could be desired,
would not revive the forward corn, as it is
too far spent. The later corn might give a
fir yield yet, could copious showers come in
a few days. The cotton crop is not materi-
ally injured yet, us it does not require half
the rain that corn does, and has double the
time TO make itself in.
