GAS METRES.

Ihessrs. Editors II do not suppose YOU in
tend to accuse the Wheeling Gas Company of
using false metres, with intent to cheat their
customers, although the article which you pub.

have some such suspicion. That incorrect gas
metres, as we'll as light weights and scant meas
ures may have been made, no one doubts: but
you do not, therefore, suspect that all who use
weights and measures are cheats: or, that all
who make and and vend gas metres are dishou-
est; or, that those who are familiar with their
use, can not readily ascertain whether such as
are submitted to their inspection measure truly

approval, the statement that mo Gas Comma.

IMMENSE DEMONSTRATION DOWN AT CINcISNATI.
Down at Cincinnati, night before last. they
had a mammoth demonstration against the Lee
compton Constitutional which, and in which,
privates and publicans, Office holders and oppo-
sition pitched in promiscnously against the Ad-
ministration. Things sis workin" when such
men as Stanley Mathews, U s. District Attor-
ney, wax so bold as to denounce the source
from which he holds his commission. 1t only
shows how deep seated is the determination,
how ineffable the contempt with which moder-
ate and fair minded men, all over the country,
look upon the Lecompton swindle.
Mathews, we see. did not confine himself to
one side of the question, but embraced the OPP
portunity to give couple of hits. AS, for in
stance, the following paragraph:
Look upon this picture and then upon that!
TOPEKA and LECOMPTONl JIM LANE

And between them, Constitutional Liberty, Pop

A BLACK CLOUD GArHERING.-One of the
most important items lately published, is the
declaration of the Kansas Legislature, just ad-
iourned, which item will be found in another
column of to.days paper 1t must be remem-
6ered, in order to gather the full force of this
declaration, that these persons are body ofcon-
servative men, not abolitionists, 'anters or vag-
rians ofany sort, butJust national, and just as
moderate men as, it is safe to say, can be found
in any capitol of any State ofthis Union. These
men, elected as they have been, and represent
ing as they do, an overwhelming Free State
sentiment, have found themselves brought els a
els with the usurpers and defrauders, who vex
that unhappy territory day and night, unceas-
ingly.
They have also. in addition. found that ION
the side of their oppressors there was power"
and prestige, just as there was in the days when
the Wise King of Israel uttered the remark
yet, in the face of their foes, both civil and mil
itary, they have not hesitated to pledge, as did
the heroes of '76, ''their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honors," to resist to the last
extremity, the attempt to asten on them yoke
against which they have as emphatically pro-
tested as ever men did or could protest.
1t is to be hoped that the coming action of
Congress vii be such as to avert the collision
evidently impending.

AN able letter from Col. Forney to the Indian
apolis Anti-Lecompton Convention, is published.
He recounts the long struggle which he made
for Mr.. Buchauan's elevation, and the pride and
satisfaction which he felt on seeing his favorite
made President of the United States. He was
very anxious in the press" to sustain the pol
icy of the Administration, and when the contro-
versy among those who had supported Mr.. Blu
chanan on this Kansas question, was beginning,
he "took care to ascertain" what Mr. Buchanan's
policy would he, as he wished to commit no. FAM
pas in regard to so important question. He
was gratied in hearing directly what the Pres
ident's policy was to be, and he says:
1t was, therefore with infinite satisfaction that
I felt authorized to take position in favor of
Governor Walkers action in Kansas, and espe-
cially in support of his declaration that the peo-
pie of that Territory should have entire control
over their own institutions-thus fulfilling the
pledges of 1856. and vindicating the principles
of. the Kansas Nebraska bill. When say du-
MOrized, l use the word in the fullest meaning
As early as the 4th of July, 1857, l took
public stand, with the knowledge and consent
of at least portion of Mr.. Buchanan's Admin
istration, upon precisely the same platform
which you occupy today. And on the 9TH of
July, only three days after, the Washington
Union, in still stronger terms asserted and elab-
GRATED the doctrines which you and l now de
fend. From that moment threw myself into
the contest, and felt proud that was sustaining
the general Administration upon principles so
invincible and enduring.
