SIR: In accordance with my promise to inform
you Of the ball play, have TO say that arrange
ments have been made for Railroad meeting, bar
hacue and Indian ball play, to take place near the
Forks Of Pigeon, in this county, about miles
from this village and little upwards of twenty

The war whoop and ball play will be conducted
under the chief of the Indians. The PLAYERS will
be about twcnty-two in number, dressed in Turkish
pants. Seats will be arranged for the ladies who
may wish to witness those ancient customs of the
aborigineS of this country.
Arrangements will be made to accommodate
strangers, and to furnish the means Of tranSporta
ton from and to the barbecue.
The Railroad is Of paramount Importance 10 this
section Of the STATE" and its mirlion is looked to
as the best that can he adopted to relieve the
people of the State from the burthcnS of taxation
This may be accomplished in the next five years by

now has against excessive TAXATION and at the same
time prevent taxing the poor mans corn that makes

Judge Douglas was scrcnaded in New York on
Tuesday evening, and being called upon, came for
ward and spoke a. follows:
FEILow-CITIZENS: ] return TO you my sincere
thanks for this manifestation of your good feeling.
1t is gratifying to me to know that the united
Democracy Of the city of New York feel the i'm
pOrtancc Of the great contest now pending before
the American people. There is no place on the
American continent where the citizens ought, from
their position, to he enthusiastically III favor of
those great political principles which can be pro-
claimed alike in every State of this Union in the
Empire State of New York ICheerS While every
other State is in measure local III its character
having peculiar circle for its trade, New York
reaches to the rurthcst end of the continent and
carries on its commerce wherever the American flag
may wave American soil or American ships
lCheerS. The whole country is the theatre of your
commerce, your interests and your influence, and
YOU should Sympathize with the people of the dis
tant portions of the republic much with those
who are in more immediate contact with YOU
Hence, my friends, expect to find the democracy
of New York standing unit in favor of the great
principle that recognizes the rights of the citizens
of every State and leaves every State in the Union
perfectly free to manage their affairs and mind
its own business and let ITS neghbors alone. Cheers
and cries of that's right" My friends just made
my appearance on the balcony tonight for the pur
pose of making an acknowledgment Of the compli-
ment which you have paid me, and not with the
view of entering into a discussion of any political
topic.
1t is the first time in my life that I have been
placed in position where | had to look on and sec
a fight without taking hand in it. Laughter and
cheers. l. however shall feel none the less IN this
great political struggle firmly believe that the
peace of the country and the perpetuity of the Union
depend upon maintaining invioiate those great car
dnal principles to which the Democratic party now,
as in former times stands rrevocably pledged by Its
platform and its organization. Loud cheers.
| renew to you the expression of my sincere
thanks for your kindness on this occasion. Pro-
longed cheers.

in his travels he has already met with two cases
where masters have returned slares' crops at over

return to the Marshal and the Marshal did not know
whether it was right for him to record a slaves
