by an almost unanimous vote of the con-

already said, in another number of this

Of the freemen of the county.
We believe it our true position, and the
true and manful course for all Republican
freemen to pursue, to give to the regular
Republican nominations hearty support.
Whether our personal feelings might have
been grati6ed to have seen other men in
nomination we deem Of little Importance
after those nominations are presented to
us by the Republican party in convention
assembled, we intend to give them our
support, not only in this instance, but in
all cases hereafter. We believe our course
an honorable and fair one; we have con-
fdence in the intelligence of the freemen
Of the county who belong to the same
party with ourselves, to believe they will
approve and emphatically endorse it.

The result of the recent continental war
seems to give little satisfaction in any
quarter. That the Italians could be at|

of their fond hopes, no one could expect
How the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena

if the liberal element should refuse to &C.

ian affairs become more unsettled than
ever. in Sardinia, dissatisfaction exists,
but not in manner go demonstrative as
in the neighboring States, Theeonditions
of peace are such as to compel Count
Cavour, the Sandman Prince Minister
to resign. The people of France, too, are
greatly dissatisfied. The results appear
far too meagre for their anticipations, and
as falling immeasurably short Of what was
easily possible. That the Emperor has
taken course which is the safest for his
own interests is quite probable, but that it
will positively result in increased popular

GoIp IN W1ILIAM,vlLLr.--About thirt

GoLp IN WILLIAMsvlLLr.--About thirty
years since lump Of gold was found in
that part Of Newfane known as Williams
vile. in what is now called 'school House
Brook which weighed eight and one.half
ounces. The man who found this nugget
is now living, as are many who saw it i'm.
mediately after its discovery. Since that
period gold digging has been dormant in
that vicinity until it was stimulated by
the frequent reports Of gold discoveries in
corresponding formations throughout the
State. Within few days the fever has
broken out in violent aud, we fear, vir.
ulent form, promising well for an cpl.
demic.
One day last week two of our villagers,
both of them returned Californians, went
to Williamsville prospecting for gold, and
it was reported they found two or three
small specimens of the auriferous metal.
Last Monday, o. L. Sherman and o. l..
Lincoln found a very nice sample in the
same locality, in the first pan of dirt
washed The next Jay Mr.. Sherman and
G. X. Field visited the diggins," and
found three excellent specimens. By this
time the news spread, and the excitement
in that little village rose at once to fever
heat. On Wednesday, the venerable W.
Fl. Williams, flor whom the village was
namely G. K. Field, o. L. Sherman, and
o. L. Lincoln formed a company, and are
engaged in making and putting into ope-
ration a machine with which to wash the
"the golden sands" They are Geter-
mined to see whether gold can be obtained
in sufficient quantities tc pay for digging
aud washingit. We hope their enterprise
will be successful.-Pha"iT.

Re.Opentng of the Slave Trade

Re.Opentng of the Slave Trade.
There is no longer room to doubt that
the question of legalizing the African
Slave trade is to be national question,
and that this, with the demand for con.
eressional intervention for the protection
of Slave property in the Territories, will
be, if they are not now. the prominent
points of the democratic creed. That
the northern wing of the party will accede
to this policy hesitatiagiy is matter of
course. Except as they gain it through
the success of the party, they have nothing
to hope for by the triumph of these mod
ern demands of Slavery. But that so
much of the party north as maintains its
allegiance will, at no distant time, come
fully to the support of their southern allies
is morally certain. 1t is cut following
directly the path iu which they have ever
suffered themselves to be led. 1t is the
necessary corolary of every preceding de-
mocratic demonstration. of the slavery
question, and allowing their previous de.
mands to be just, and within the scope of
sound national policy this more modern
assumption has at least an equally sound
basis. No democrat, who has hitherto re.
ceived the dictations of the party can de.
cline this without an abrupt deviation from
the course he has hitherto pursued.
That the South will push this demand
it is nonsense to question. 1t is not with
them a matter of idle speculation or the
triumph of a principal. The whole future
Of their social fabric rests on it. Unless
Slave labor can be made to swell up with
tide that can meet and repcl the tide Of
rec labor which is rolling down upon it,
Slevorv must be- crowded out of our do.

simple tatemont Of the caseis, the pro.
creative power Of the suhje,t race is not
sufficient to supply the wants of labor and
the vacuum must be illed-either by free
labor or by the importation Of. Africans.
Without this resource the acquisition Of
new territory and the right of protection
to property in it is of no avail, for there
is no supply of the commodity to meet the
opening demand But if the iucxhausta-
Bile fountains OF Africa can be permitted
to flow to the Southern plantations
slavery can at once assume the aggressive,

prospects depend.
