The Republicans Of St. Joseph, Missouri,
had an enthusiastic ratification meeting, the
other night, at which some telling speeches
were delivered. II. B. Branch, Republican
candidate for Congress, made powerful
speech, the spirit Of which is indicated 10 the
following published address to lhe voters Of
bis district:
The action Of the State Convention of Nul.
lifers, eventuating IN the nomination OF Clai
borne Fox Jackson, (as Col. Benton called
him, ! Tor Governor of Missouri, seems TO have
been agreed on for the special purpose OF ia.
sulting the memory Of Col. Benton, and 20
| outrage the feelings of bis friends. Hence
ii IL thar | am unwilling TO retire from a CON
test in which | have spent ten years OF my
life, until that victory, now in sight, shall
be finally achieved.
The hands Of the Nuliiiers are red with
the blood OF Benton, OF Slas Wright, and Il
long catalogue of Democrats, who have been
in favor Of the preservation of tho Union,
and opposed to the spread of slavery into
the free territory; and the same dagger with
which they have sain all these, is now up
lifted against Senator Douglas; and when
his friends 20 60 Baltimore on the 18Th OF
ouhes tuEF Will uuN uUbulNE out DIS Dl0OuV
shroud. They crucifed him az Charleston,
and they will inter him at Baltimore for
they intend TO defeat his nomination or run
q candidate against him, either Of which
events is bis political death.
Entertaining these views and co operating
with band of progressive EN- DOR ats in this
State, members Of tho old Benton guard. who
yet carry the war-worn and bullet. torn ban
ner that Col. Benton carried glorously
through all his great battles in this State. i
believe that found the line of my atsty lead
ing mo into hearty CO. cooperation with that
great National Union loving party that con.
yened In the city OF Chicago on the 10th dav
| OF the present month, and wto presented 10
the American people as candidate for Pres
4 ident OF the United States, Abraham Lincoln
! OF illinois. Ii IL true that the delegates from
| this State 10 that Convention, of hich | " as
| proud 10 be one, were the bearers OF the
/ bonared name ard claims of Judge Bates. -
| We presented his name, and urged his claims
I With every nrgumenr within our reach, but
the action Of the Convention declared the
! OLD raii-spittter OF Illinois, Abe Lincoln, to
DC the eholoe OF the party; and although pre-.
ierring Judge Bates, acquiesce in the nem-
nations here made, and shall give the tick OF
an earnest and cordial support.
The principles OF this great Democratic
party now headed by Lincoln and Hamlin.
are the same principles enunciated by Thorn
as Jefferson, sanctioned by Andrew Jackson,
and which Missouri'a great statesman, Thorn
as ii. Benton, defended and upheld for more
THAN quarter OF century. 1t is the old
jackson party, arisen from the grave to
which Calhoun and his cohorts consigned il:
and TO bear it on 10 victory is now the duty
OF every true hearted son OF Democracy.

though not until four score years did he be-

body or mind He still walks the streets
suffers no disease but the infrmities of age,
and exhibits cheerful spirits, though at times
a wandering mind.
During the past summer he visited many
of his old friends, aud seven of his ten sur
Viving children. In May, he spent a few
weeks with DR.. Brainard of Philadelphia
Returning, he passed several days at Orange,

Gordon, who was recently executed at Den
yer City, for the murder of Gantz, charges
whisky withthe guilt of bis crime. Whisky
did it--and the man is hung but the whisky
seller goes unpunished; llls
The last hours of the condemned were
passed in conversation with the clergyman
and in parting with his friends His little
brother called upon him only a short time
before the execution. Their final interview
was very affecting, and the guard and At.
tendants were even moved TO tears.
Gordon said TO his brother: have nc
recollection Of killing that man it was moi
me, but whisky did it. Iadvise you never to
drink whisky-and by whisky | mean all
liqours; keep good company and keep your
heart right" '-asa.
He then sat down and wrote with q tremb'
ling hand short note addressed to his broth
ers, advising them never to drink whisky,
for if they did it would ruin them, as it had
him; aud II ever tempted TO drink, before
doing so, to visit his grave and think what il
was that brought him there. He then gave
it to his brother, telling him to keep it as a
sacred memento of him, and as constant
admonition, " read it often, and don't forget

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
why they Feel 90 bad About it

The Northern prO-slavery press Of all par
tes-Beu, Breelkinridge and Douglas-Op-
pose the election of Lincoln because, as they
say, twill build up Republican party in
the Slave States. Instead of being matter
to be deplOred, it is Just what the country
needs. The slave oligarchs have ruled with
a high hand quite too long already. The
whip tar, feathers, the rope, and in some in
stances the faggot have crushed out by brute
force freedom Of Thought freedom Of speech,
freedom of the press, and freedom of travel
and occupation to all who do not bow. down
and worship the black idol. The despOtism
and cruelties Of Bomba were not more re-
voting to humanity, than have been the tyr
amy exercised over free citizens Of the
North and the South during the past twelve
months in every State below Mason and
Dixon's line Organized Vigilance Commit
tees-nothing but organized mobs-have
been the tribunals of life and death. Mere
suspicious, and confessions eXtorted by the
lash from their human chattels, have been
the evidence upon which innocent persons,
in many cases, have been convicted by Judge
Lynch tribunals Such a record as facts have
made against Southern intolerance persecu
ton, and outrage, would make even the
Druses of the Old World blush. 1t is time
the South should be protected through law
and order Republican party at home.
One ofthe grandest achievements of a Re
publican Administration will be the bnild-
ing up of strong and patriotic Republican
party in the South. In bringing the Gov
erment back to the Republican usages and
measures Of Washington, jefferson, Madison,
and the fathers of the Republic North and
South, the iron despotism that has been estab-
lished in half the Onion by modern Demo
cracy viii be broken-law viii triumph over
lawlessness-order over disOrder-justice
over iniustice-freedorn of thought, speech,
press, and citizenship over the denial and de-
struction Of each and all-and union over dis
union. A generous infusion of the principles
and hunauities Of Repnblieanism into the
political organization of the South, viii prove
god-send to all the peoples, bond and free
Fraternity and good neighbOrhOod will be
restored in Uncle Sans family, and "mind
your own business" will again become the
rule instead of the exception.

Ex-Governor Francis Thomas, whom the
Democracy have often honored, takes bold
ground against the Southern fanatics. So
far from the election of Lincoln giving the
South cause for dissolution, Gov. Thomas,
though a STAKEHOLDER, argues to the contrary.
In a speech at Hagerstown, few days since,
he said -- .iI
We have nothing to fear from the election
Of Mr.. Lincoln. AH formerly stood upon his
platform. None ever doubted the right OF
Congress to legislate for the Territories. He
cared not what mans abstract opinions
were; we had had many Free Soilers in the
Presidential chair. Jefferson lOas rank Free
Soiler Madison and Monroe Were both Free
Soilers. He knew Mr.. Fillmore well; and a

HorribIe Accident.


A correspondent OF the Lexington (Tenn.l
Dispatch, writing from Decaturville, in the
same state, under date of Oct. IA, says:
AS some negroes were passing the road
leading from this place to Perryville, this
morning, near Rushing's Greek, they were
attracted by the cries of a female, and uDon
examination found near the road a woman
Iyingby the fire with her husband, both con-
fined by a log across them. 1t appears that
they were travelling and had stopped to camp
and had built their fire near a dead tree,
which caught fire, latter they had fallen
asleep,) and burning of near the ground, fell
angling across them, breaking both the wO-
mans legs Just below the knee, and killing
the man almost instantly When interTo-
eating the woman, we learned that the tree
had fallen across them several hours before
day, and that her husband lived long enough
to tell her what to do after be was dead
She said she called until she could call no
longer, for some one to come to her relief
after her husband died, mot being able to
extricate herself She also stated that her
maiden name was Watts, and that her hus-
bands name was jefferson Kelly-that they
had been married about three months, and
were going across Tennessee river where
corn was cheaper.
When we reached the place where the un-
fortunate persons were, the scene was most
horrifying, and the cries of the poor woman
when taken away from her dead husband
were enough to melt the most obdurate
| heart. .-i rEt ,r5l-r6r ar-

1Tore DefarItiDa postmnEters,

A Washington dispatch reports the default
of the Postmaster at Keokuk, Iowa, and also
of another at either Alton or Quincy, Illinois.
1t says: j. q dLI tya
As for defaults of small Postmasters, they
are as thick as leaves in Ysllambrosa.-
Scores are being decapitated from inability to
meet the drafts of the Post Of5ce Department.
For the most part the defaulters yielded to
the temptation OF coYerting the public money
to their private use during the long term,
when the Post-Ofice Department could not
legally compensate mail contractors in the
usual manner efgiving them drafts upon the
small Post-0fices along mail routes. The
Postmaster-Genera has given them no quar-
ter. If the offender does not meet the draft
off goes his head. By the way, learn that
criminal proceedings have been instituted
against Mr. Marks, the defaulting Postmaster
at NeW-0rleans.
