and,' in the language Of the historian of the First
Napoleon, 1.-The extraordinary march was begun"
Along the middle of the street the funeral like pro-
cession moved, while all the little boys in town,
both white and black ran along The sidewalks
laughing consumedly at sight, which struck even
t1en as udcrous, and shouting "adies to the righu
-"go it bob-tail p &c., &c. 1t is said by good
judges Of fun that the thing at least fifty per
cent. better than the best monkey-show that ever
passed through this country. One Democrat who
thinks he is going TO the bosom Of Breckenridge and
Lane when he dies felt SO exceedingly small that he
incontnenty broke ranks and took up an alley,
and when the procession reached the Courthouse,
he was standing in the door, looking innocent as
if he hadn't been six inches from the spot in three
weeks
A majority Of our informants state that the Con-
vention composed Of about two hundred men
and boys all told. II is impossible 10 tell how many
of those present were Breckenridge democrats and
delegates, but we'll put the number at fifty, which
is liberal
Such in truth was the GAINESVILLE Convention
The people down there will laugh at that procession
the longest day they ve.-Nash Patriot.

The LEMON CAsE.-The Court Of Appeals
of New York has adjourned. Amongits most
important decisions, was. one affirming the judg-
ment Of the Supreme Court in the Lemon
case Thus is settled the principle, in the
highest Court, that Slaves cannot, under our
laws, if brought to that State by their masters
to be held in servitude The decision is one
of principle merely, no individual rights or in
terests being involved inasmuch as MI. LEMON
was settled with years ago, being more than
amply repaid the value of his lost chattleS by
a subscription taken up in New York. The
State of Virginia, however, insisted on contin-
uing the litigation, in order to establish that
her citizens may take and hold their Slaves
where they please. Thus far she has been un-
successful, three adverse decisions having been
given in succession. She now threatens to
carry it to the Supreme Court Of the United
States.

The Republicans of Burlington Township 10 have
the honor Of forming the first Club in the county but
our bad luck alone entities them to it, number OF our
Republicans met weeks earlier for the purpose Of eff
fectng organization but in consequence of some fail
in the notice. the final organization was postponed to
the 4th inst. We know that the Republicans of Burng
ton hard to beat but do not intend TO come out
second best election days Of this give thom fair
warning.
H-low to add, Mr. Editor, that hope every town
ship the county will Immediately follow the example
of Burlington and Colum ia. Before the nomination of
a candidate for President at Chicago Republican Club
should be found in every election district, and mmedi
atey upon the of that nomination. every
Club should fer the purpose of ratying it, and
solve to ,cok for the and the candidates from that
day to the poll closing in November. SO thinks
Yours truly, d. LILLEY.
Columbia, April Is, 1s60.
REMARKs.-And SO think we Republican Club in
every township should be organized and ready to to
work Immediately after the nomination at Chicago. The
experience of 1885, was that the townships relying most
upon their exertions affected the most for the Re
publican We again earnestly call the attention of
our friends to the subject And shall be glad to re-
ceive and publish the proceedings of such meetings.

IN CoSGEEss.-It is now pretty well ascer-
tanned that the Homestead Bill will be vgor,
ously opposed in the Senate, by leading Dem
ocrats thereof. Messrs. Mason, HUNTER, and
Others, declare that the bill proposes the in
crease of Free States, and that the Slave
States will not have a ghost of chance un,
der its operation. Those gentlemen are part.
Iy right. Slavery can only flourish where the
wealthy few have monopoly of the SOIL
The Homestead Bill proposes to limit dOna-
tions to 1G0 acres to each person entitled to
pre- empt. Slave labor cannot thrive on small
farms, and therefore it is not at all strange
that the Democracy desire the defeat of the
Homestead Bill. Will the people bear these
facts in mind

EI- The fast line, known as the Pony Ex-
press, connecting the further extremities Of the
telegraphic wires of the Atlantic and Pacific
systems, has brought news from California in
the unprecedented time Of eleven days. But
for failure of the line in Missouri, the feat
would have been accomplished in ten. We
thus have information of the arrival of the
United States steam frigate P0tohakan at San
Francisco, bringing the japanese embassy,
consisting OF four persons, two of the higher
order of japanese nobility, with companions
of an inferior grade. The party stopped at
Honolulu by the way, where they were re,
ceived with proper respect and attention. At
San Francisco every token of honor was paid
to the Legation A public reception, at which
the digntareS of the State, officers naval and
military, the foreign ConsuIs, and prominent
citizens assisted, was given on the ID inst,
and all efforts were made to crafty the Curl
ous strangers The POuhatan was to leave
in few days for the Isthmus, where the Em,
basSy was to be transferred to the Roanoke
now awaiting it at Aspinwall The time the
party is to spend on the Atlantic side is limit
ed to one mouth. The San Francisco news is
otherwise unimportant The determination
appears to be to retain the State capitol at
Sacramento, as large appropriation had just
been made to erect buildings. The BulkheaC
till was under discussion in the Legislature,
with great excitement attending the contest
The Legislature is to adjourn on the 24tI
inst
From the Carson Valley region the mining

KANSAS THROUGH THE HOUSE,

The bill for the immediate admission of
Kansas as a State, passed the House on We'd
nesday, by the very decisive vote of l34 ayes
to 73 nays, after the rejection of Mr.. May
nard's motion to re-conmit to the Committee
on Territories. The bill declares that the
State of Kansas shall be admitted into the
Union under the Wyandotte Constitution, on
an equal footing with the original States in all
respects whatever The boundaries of Mis-
souri, where the 37th parallel of north lati
tude crosses the same thence west on said
parallel to the 25th meridian of longitude
west of Washington thence north on that
meridian to the 40th parallel of latitude :;
thence east on said parallel to the western
boundary of Missouri thence south with
the western boundary of that State, to
the place Of beginning. Provided nothing
contained in this Constitution Of Kansas shall
he construed to impair the rights Of persons or
property now pertaining to the Indians in the
territory according to existing treaties; nor
shall their territory be included within that
State, until said tribe shall signify their as
sent thereto. Until the next general appor-
tionment Kansas shall be entitled to one men,
Der in the House of Representatives. The re-
mainder of the bill contains the usual land
provisions and conditions.
The bill will undoubtedly meet with consid,
cradle opposition in the Senate, but We have
confidence that it will pass that body snbstan
TALLY as it came from the House.
The presidential election of next November
offers no consideration that can lead the De-
mocracy to oppose new State out of Kansas.
The single vote she will possess is immaterial
to either side, so far as success is concerned
There is no division of the other States, at all
possible, that can make the issue dependent
upon the one vote of Kansas The creation
Of that new vote, therefore, for the Repub-
can party, though an unpalatable service, is
hardly one that the Democracy will refuse to
perform, in the face of all the opposite consid-
erationS that urge it. To furnish their oppo-
nentS in the campaign Of this year, ground
for one of the m ost powerful aud effective ap-
peals to the people against them, that could
be brought into the canvass, by again reject
ing the claim Of Kansas to place in the ma
ton, would be an act of folly that we cannot
anticipate from them.
The vote in the House on Wednesday indi-
Gates the view prevalent among the Democratic
members Of Congress. The bill was carried
by majority of sixty.one, and only three
northern Democrats are recorded against it
These were ENGLISH, SCOTT and SICKLEs. 1t
seems to US most probable that the opinion of
policy is much the same among the Democrat
ic Senators as among the Representatives, and
we shall look for the passage Of the bill thro'
that body.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
meets at Charleston on Monday next The
influx Of Delegates into Washington is per-
ceptibe by the increased confidence felt by
Douglas friends.
The result at Charleston, is a subject of
much speculation, just now. The Tribune is
confident of Douglas nomination, which can
only be accomplished by the consent of the
South. That the Southern leaders of the
Democratic party have made up their minds
to take him, we do not yet believe.

G. w Brown Of this place has discontinued

G. W. Brown Of this place has discontinued
the publication Of the Herald Of Freedom
The Herald, we believe, was the first paper
published in Kansas Territory The first
number of it was printed at ConeautVille, Craw-
ford County, Pa 1t hailed from Lawrence,
and was circulated soon after the date of the
first settlement Of this place Upon the arri.
val of Browns press canvass tent was erect
ed for its accommodation which was used as
an Office until more arstocratic building
could be procured. For several years the
Herald was regarded as Free State Journal,
and being well conducted its circulation in.
creased to nearly eight thousand ; it then
found its way into every Free State, and its
weekly visits were hailed with ecstacy by its
numerous and attentive readers At the sack
of Lawrence the press was partially destroyed
by the enraged Missourians who openly de-
nounced the principles it then advocated. G..
w. Brown began cautiously to depart from the
Republican faith. His Republican friends
then forsook him and he worked into the open
arms of the National Democracy, who now
regard him as their property. Good night.

The LATE FREsHETs.-Our exchanges from
the West are filled with accounts of damages
done by the late food which appears to have
exceeded any experienced in the Ohio Valley
for several years. The Monongahela reached,
on Wednesday, a stage nearly as high as at
the great freshet in 1852 After the rise had
stopped for some time, it again commenced,
and at latest accounts the river was swelling
at the rate OF four or five inches an hour,
while the rain still continued A Pittsburg
paper estimates the destruction of property,
in the single article of boats, at $4,000 The
people of the lower part of the Allegheny
valley suffered still more severerely Most of
the city of that name was under water Fami-
lies were driven from their dwellings in hot
haste, or compelled to take refuge in the upper
stories Whole streets were flooded, to the
depth of several feet in some instances, and
that part of the city bordering on the river
completely deluged The destruction of prop
erty in lumber, household goods &c, was i'm
mense, and can only be ascertained after the
food subsidies On the tributary creeks nam
erous buildings, fences, hay-stacks, and the
like were swept OF, and grainfeds destroyed.
The railroads also suffered severely from land
slides and washing away of their tracks, caus-
ing stoppage of the trains in several in
stances.
