The Irrepressible Conflict.

We publish to-day, two able articles,
bearing upon this subject. One presents
south-side view of the evils to be apprehen>
ded from the elevation of LINCOLN to the
Presidency, and the other shadows forth
what the ultra-Republicans imagine will be
the policy of their candidate, when invested
with power and patronage.
twill be noticed that Mr.. SoMEs, in his
letter, places LINCOLN at the head of a cru
SADIE against slavery, not in the Territories,
but in the States. He demands that LLOYD
GARRISON and WENDELL PHILLIPS shall be
protected by the army, if necessary, in max
ing their incendiary harangues at Richmond,
Charleston or Mobile.
The Charleston Mercury counts up the
cost of secession, and decidedly inclines to
the opinion that it is the sole remedy left to
the South.
These documents are instructive. We
have no idea they will affect the vote at the
Presidential election, but they are fruitful
CT suggestions to the citizen who looks be-
yond the election, to the probable policy of
the new administration.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
Window an Abolitionists.

We think WINDOW, the Black Republi-
can candidate for Congress, comes about as
near an Abolitionist, as LLOYD GARRISON
or GERR1r SMITH. In his speeches through
out the State, be has avowed himself in ia
vor Of Congressional legislation to abolish the
interstate slave trade, and has pledged him
self to vote against the admission of any
more slave States into the Union, even
should they apply with Constitutions regu.
larly passed, and clearly embodyipg the will
of the people. He favors the repeal of the
Fugitive Slave Law, and believes in excit-
ing the power of the Federal government to
abolish slavery everywhere, in State and
Territory alike. Mr.. WINDOW can find
plenty of time to join in an unconstitutional
warfare upon the people Of the South, but
when question springs up in Congress, af-
fecting the material interests of his constit-
uents, las in the 100000 appropriation for
a mail route from st. Paul to the Pacifc)
he lodges the vote, and by his absence kills
the bill. But send him back to Congress
by all means. His vote is sure for any
scheme looking to the irrepressible conflict.

The New York Commercial advertiser
says snow fell to the depth of two or three
inches on the mountains of Orange and
Rockland counties, during a storm on the
18th.
The Syracuse Journal of the 18th, says
there was considerable fall of snow here
early this morning, and an hour after sun
rise the roofs and grass-plats retained evil
dence of the fact. At Onondaga Hill and
vicinity, we understand, the snow was four
inches deep at eight o'clock"
A special dispatch to the atlas and dr.
gus dated the 18th says: "Hon. Herschel
V. johnson addressed very large audience
at Cortland to-day, Notwithstanding the
snow was five inches deep and the roads
bad"
Our dispatches mention a fall of snow
Sunday night, the 18th, at Binghamton,
New York, and Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
The Auburn Union of the 18th, says {:
ave have had our first fall of snow. When
we awoke this morning, what was our sur
prise to see the trees born down by mass
of snow upon their branches, and patches of
this winding sheet of summer scattered
over the ground"

What they Intend to Do.

The Republican Senator Wilson, of
Massachusetts, is going about the country,
telling people what they are going to do
when Old Abe is President. At South
Pennington, Massachusetts,, on Thursday,
he said:
they were going to put the government for
all time on the side of freedom, and those who
dared to array themselves against this govern.
ment, should be held as traitors, and die the
death of traitors.
This same Wilson is advocating the cleo
ton of man for Governor of Massachu-
sets, who has declared that John Brown
was right" In other words, it is fright to
stir up instruction and murder in the
Southern States,"- if the Southern
people resist them, according to Wilson,
they shall be held as traitors, and die the
death of traitors. Stripped of it's circum.
locution and verbiage, the meaning of the
Farming ham speech is just that, and moth.
ing else.
0 In another part Of the same speech we
find the same demagogue expressing the
above idea with even more emphasis. He
says: SAG n..ias
The Republican party is to take possession
OF the government, and when possession was
taken, he trusted that the party will be true to
the principles professed when out of power.
This power, he trusted would be exercised till
no man on the continent should hold properly
in another man.
This, OF course, means the abolition of

Wheat Imports in Britain.

The importation of wheat in England for
August last, were about double those in
the corresponding month both of 1859 and
1858, and in -four the increase was still
greater. The totals were 5000 900 bushels
of wheat and 565,898 cwt. of -four. Still,
owing to the smallness of the arrivals dur.
ing the earlier part of the year, the quanti-
ties thus far imported in 1860, that is in
the eight months from the LIST of January
to the 3lst of August, have not been equal
to those imported during the same period of
either of the two preceding years, when the
English harvests were abundant. The fall
ing off has been equal to ten per cent. from
1859, and nearly twenty per cent. from
1858. Owing to the rise in the prices,
however, the imports of this year, although
smaller, have of course cost much more than
those of the two preceding years. The ag-
gregate of the arrivals of foreign wheat in
1860 have been 20,229,12O bushels, of
which thirty one per cent. was contributed
by Prussia, nineteen per cent. by Russia,
fifteen per cent. by the United States, eight
per cent. by Denmark, FIVE and a half by
France, &c., &c. Last year the United
States in the first eight months, scarcely
contributed fraction of the supply, while
France sent thirty.6 per cent. of Britain's
requirements. Of flour, the aggregate ar
rivals for the same time this year, have been
2,463,092 cwt., of which France has fur.
nished four and half per cent, and the
United States thirty. six per cent. Last
year in the same period, more than ninty
per cent. came from France, and only about
one and half per cent. from the United
States.

Curious misunderstanding to a
decision just pronounced in the New York
Court Of Appeals they have no law in that
State for Furnishing murder in the first de-
gree at all! The law of last winter having
abolished the only statute which defined the
mode of punishment, no court or other
tribunal has any right to prescribe that
mode. This seems to be very curious and
purely technical construction. But it comes
from the court of last resort, and is, of
course, final and decisive.

labor to create discussions in the Demo.

ELECTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. cleo.
ton was held in South Carolina on the 9Th
inst. for members of Congress and the State
Legislature. The vote cast was the largest
ever known in Charleston, and was intended,
probably, to show the feeling of the Seces-
sionists in that city, all the candidates hav-
ing declared in favor of the popular dogma
of the State-the right to walk out of the
Union whenever they see fit to do so. So
far as we have returns, the old members of
Congress had little no opposition; and as
for the Legislature, a remark of the Courier,
in reference to the city members, will prob
ably apply to them all-that they are inn
pressed with "the inevitable duty and neces-
sity of separation or reconstruction Of the
Federal Union, in the event, now very prob
able, of the election of Abraham Lincoln"

"He Don't Caro- whether Slavery 1
Voted up or Down.,

Mr.. DOUGLAS has been charged with say
ing that he did not care whether slavery
was voted up or voted down. What he
meant and what he said he explains in his
Milwaukee speech. In his first speech on
the Lecompton constitution be said the peo-
pie of Kansas had right to slave State
or free State, as they wished. II then
referred" be goes on to say, "to the fact
that was urged to wait until the election
took place on the slavery clause, three weeks
afterwards, and went on to show that that
vote could not have the slightest effect on
my action, for the reason that was against
the constitution, whether that clause was
voted up or voted down. In that connec-
tion l said I cared not whether the slavery
clause was voted up or voted down, for the
reason that l was against it either way.
Now, would you have supposed that WIN.
b. SEWARD, Senator from New York,
who was present and listened to my speech,
would have dared to have changed it and
perverted it 80 as to represent me as saying
that 1 did not care whether slavery was
voted up or voted down! Would you have
supposed that ABRAHAM LINCOLN would
have been guilty of the trickery of thus
changing my meaning? They knew that
the idea l expressed in that declaration was,
that whether the slavery clause was voted
up or voted down made no difference as to
my opposition to Lecompton. I expressed
no opinion about the merits of slavery"
