"A correspondent writes from Rancocss, Burlington
County, N. j., Sept. g. as follows:
"Our quiet pleasant and Friendly village was the
theater of an animated the LIST inst. in
quence of the raising of Lincoln and Hamlin pole
and flag in midst, at which it competed that
from 600 to 200 persons were in attendance. Soul
stirring speeches Of hour each were made by the
Hon. John G. Ten Eyck, our United States Senator,
aud the Hon. John l.. N Stratton, our able Repre-
sentative 10 Congress, which elected much applause.
They were followed by Samuel A. Dobbins, esq,
member of our State Legislature from this county,
whose eloquent address, mingled with wit and sar-
casm, kept the multitude in the best Of humOr. He
was succeeded by Mr.. Shedden, who spoke in a mas
terly and effective manner. The Mount Holly Wide
Awakes" a company Just formed in that ptdeatcake
place. were here in all their splendor, and the brass
band from the same town dscoursed most excellent
music. A delegation from Beverly and Mooresiow
were also with us, and one and all met with cordial
and hearty welcome from the Republicans Of the vii
lage. Old Burlington is all right, aud will roll up
rousipg ajority for Lincoln HaInn and Stratton in
November next and no mistake"

pubcanism twelve years ago, here il is copied from
speech OF bis delivered In the House of Representa-
tives:

and Florida purchase, and finally over Texas, the
Free States have pronounced Thus far and no far.

ours shall not be employed to spread Slavery over

leave II untouched where Freedom prevails, we de-
mand that you sha not abolish it. While gentlemen
denounce the abolition OF Slavery as reasonable and
criminal, hope they will indulge if we protest
against the abolition Of Freedom in California, New
Mexico, and chihuahua"
He said il was a new sentiment held by men,
without reason and without argument; nothing but
sentiment, and not very wholesome sentiment either
