ANOTHER FOReERY - PERHAPs-
Mr.. Fred. p. Stanton, while Secretary for
the Territory Of Kansas. received letter
from MIR. Bigler, U. s. Senator from
Pennsylvania. who had recently returned
from a tour Of political observation in
Kansas. This letter was dated at Clear
field, Pa, Aug. IA. 1857, anil contains
the following significant passage:
Make my special regards to Gov.
Walker, and say to him that he has he
popular heart VAh lin throughout he
entire country. ereept only hs ertrc~s
South. Should his programme succeed.
he lciH have He most eRViabie prominence
of any man IN he nation. Tie AdmiRis-
trafiOn is lille lceak at the knees, and
rCRees al Tie Southern thunder. Jat they
must stand up 10 lie ,r0rk."
Alas the Administration was not "a
little {" but a good deal :" weak at thr
knees" anil not only wheel under the
Southern thunder but actually fell on
those weak knees before it, And roor
Bigler his knees" stood the Ordeal no
better than Old Bucks! Four months
after the above was written, Buchanan
had thrown Walker and Popular Sovrr'
eighty overheard, and gone in for the
LeeOmpton offspring of fraudulent regis
tries and bogus elections, with BIGGER

SECRET HIsToRY OF THE GREES- Eng
LIsH TREAcHERY.-A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. writes the following,
from Washington
"a prominent Western politician is
about to make full and clear expose of
the secret appliances and inducements
employed by Mr.. Buchanan and his agents
to carry the English Kansas bill. He
knows whereof he affirms, and will place,
not only the Administration, but its Con-
gressiOnsl converts from anti Lecompton-
ism, especially the Ohio gentlemen, in
most unenviable light. i do not think
he can now be silenced-it is too late"
This belongs to the class of announce
ments that are probably designated as
important, if true" There is no doubt
that some very rich disclosures might be
made BY sundry persons, under due pro-
vocation, or other adequate Indictment,
and such as would very summarily dis
pose of several little politicians of the
Cox and Foley order Whether the
prominent Western politician" referred
to is Douglas, (which is not propable, J
Davis, OF Indiana, or some one else in
the Anti-Lecompton Democratic ranks,
so insolently deied and brow beaten by
the miniOns of Buchanan, it matters not,
il only we have the authentic disclosures.
Men so utterly corrupt as to avow, openly
and without shame, the studied hypocrisy
Of their Anti-Lecomptonism, as English
and Cox have done, deserve to have the
brand put upon them so distinctly, as to
take from them all power for mischief
hereafter.-Cin. Gag.

call is signed BY very long list Of names,
the 6rst one being the name Of Erastus
Brooks, the second, Horace Greeley, and
shortly after, that of John McKeon, late
Democratic District Attorney. The list
is composed of Americans. Republicans,
and Democrats. Just think of Erastus
Brooks and Horace Greeley signing their
names side by side to call for q politi-
cal meetingl We swish that the gallant
American, Erastus Brooks, were now

LEAvESwoRTH ELEcTIoS. the Lea
venworth charter election, on Monday
week. the entire Democratic ticket was
elected. This was in consequence of
division in the Free State ranks. The
Democrats played the same game they
are trying in this County. A Free State
ticket was nominated, and thereupon q
bolt was gotten up, headed by men in
the Democratic interest This was called
an independent, or Conservative ticket.
The Democrats also nominated o ticket
of Conservative men and between the
two Conservative tickets, they managed
to elect the entire Democratic ticket. 1t
may easily be guessed how a majority of
the boilers voted, when it is seen that
their candidate for Mayor received only
100 votes. The Free State party, Of
Leavenworth, have heretofore been pla-

PREPARING FOR Another SwISDLE.-
The Democratic candidates for Congress,
in the North. with scarcely an exception,
are pledging themselves to vote for the
admission of Kansas, as a Free State,
whenever she presents Constitution le.
gally formed, no matter what her popu-
lation may be. All those members who
voted for the English Bill, are making
this pledge, although that bill says that
Kansas shall not be admitted with less
than 5000 inhabitants, unless she ac-
cepts the English proposition. This, as
a matter of course. is done to gull the
people, and secure the election of Demo
Gratis to Congress. 1t now remains to be
seen whether the people can be so easily
entrapped, after the repeated treachery of
Democracy. Buchanan was elected upon
pledge to secure Kansas as Free State,
ss were majority of the Northern Dem :
ocratic members of Congress. The whole
country knows how he moved heaven
and earth" to make Kansas a Slave State,
and how a Democratic Congress sided
with him. and enacted the English Swim
die. Now, if the people can be again
gulled by the pledges of these men, they
deserve to be insulted and betrayed by the
creatures of their making.

DANNIsG THE INFANrs.-An exciting scene
occurred among the congregationalists at North
Woburn, Massachusetts, a few days since.
Alpheus 5. Nickerson, a recent graduate at
Andorer Theological Seminary, made applica-
tion to be admitted as an Evangelist. in con.
nection with the Congregational Church and
Society OF that village. The examination of
the candidate was generally satisfactory to the
council, except upon q single subject. Being
questioned as to the salvation Of infants, he
expressed his unqualified belief in the old doe.
trine OF foreordinatiOn, prcdestination. elec.
ton, and Infant damnatiOn.' He did not
know precisely how the thing could be accom-.
plished consistently with other parts Of his
creed, and with Divine justice and goodness,
but yet his confidence in Divine Justice and
goodness satisfied him that it was possible that
those innocents, who have no agency in their
creation, and who had committed no sin. could
be eternally damned. Rev Messrs. Cady. of
West Cambridge; Marvin, of Medford; Seward,
Of Burlington, and Emerson objected to this
generally ''ObsOlete" doctrine as a heresy not
TO be tolerated, and refused to proceed to the
ordination Of the candidate. The council dis
cussed the matter warmly until o'clock in the
evening, and then adjourned for eight weeks
to reflect upon it, the audience having visited
in the church from 10 o'clock, in expectation
of the services. -
