tickets will entitle the holders to sleeping

Jefferson Territory.

Il 10 announced that memorial has
reached Washington from that portion of
Kansas not covered in the Wyandotte Con.
stitutiOn, and designated as Jefferson Ter.
ritory, signed by eleven thousand Pixies
Peak miners, praying for Territorial Gov
ernment, aud protesting against annexation
to Kansas. Kansas, with its present boun-
daries, contains in the neighborhood of one
hundred thousand square miles, making it
nearly as large Os Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New York together. A desert waste, a
hundred miles wide, divides Pixies Peak
from Kansas, aid forms a atural boundary.
Those who oppose annexation aver that the
expenses of mileage of Government officials
and others in public bus mess, from the
regions OF the Rocky Mountains to the cspi-
tai Of the State at Topeka, should the pro.
posed change be consummated, would alone
amount to larger sum than it would cost
to support respectable State Government

Position of Howell Cobb.

A correspondent of the Augusta ga
Constitutionalist brings to light the follow
ing extract from private letter written by
Secretary Cobb to gentleman in Augusta,
in which he speaks with great frankness
respecting his position with regard to the
Charleston nomination. He says:
I can but repeat that my name shall not
divide and distract the party. If there are a
sufficient number in the Democratic party of
Georgia opposed to my nomination to justify
the idea OF serious divisions in the party,
then l will Internationally withdraw my
name. This is no time for divisions in the
South, and especially with Southern Demo-
Gratis, and any personal sacrifice which
may be called upon to make, to insure union
and harmony, shall be cheerfuily made. So
far as I am personally concerned, demon
stration of serious opposition TO my nomin-
alton from the Democracy of Georgia, in
any shape or form, or from any convention,
would prevent oil connection of my name
with the nomination at Charleston.

The Negroes in Canada.

The readers of the Free Press will remem.
Der the recent negro ourtages in Canada and
particularly the affair in the township of An.
derdon, few miles from Windsor, where On
elderly female wus violated, and several
males, who went TO her assistance, we're
cruelty beaten and left for dead on the floor
OF the house. Subsequently the perpetrators
OF the outrage were taken into custody, and,
while being conducted to Jail, were rescued
by band of their fellows. The exposure
OF this deed Of violence in this paper brought
down upon us the imprecations OF the entire
negro worshiping press, not only of this city
and country, but OF COnada. who justified the
outrage BY insisting that the female was
"nothing but squaw." 1t is true that the
woman whose home was assaulted and upon
whom the outrage was committed, was of
mixed blood-French and Indun-but it is
yet to be proved that the virtue even of an
Indian woman is not as much to be respect-
ed as that of o white.
1t seems that this woman, though thus
sneeringly spoken Of BY the negro sympa.
thizers, is not without her friends, and her
appeals for justice have not passed unheeded.
The consequences Of the outrage which the
negro community sought to palliate, and the
punishment due 10 the perpetrators whom
their companions refuse to surrender to JUS.

population OF the township. Their homes
are to be sacrificed and they are to be ban.

A New Party.

There is now much talk and unmstskable
indications on the part OF many leading men
in the Opposition, Of On intention TO form a
new party in the free States, to supersede
the Republican organization, which is re-
garded as too ultra and sectional in its views
on the slavery question. As the leader and
Presidential candidate Of this new party, d.
yers gentlemen are named, among them
John Bel, JohnJ. Crittenden, Edward Bates,
Simon Cameron and William Pennington.
The friends of the movement eppear to be
more numerous in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey than in any OF the other States, yet
indications of sympathy with it ere daily
made manifest in other quarters. The hope
is expressed by some persons that this ele.
ment may be made strong enough to control
the Chicago Convention. and bes,ow the
nomination of that body on one of the gen.
tlemen referred to, or some other statesman
OF conservative views, instead of Seward,
Chase, or any other one of the "irrepressi-
BILE" class OF ultra Republican politicians
But that is impossible. The Chicago Con.
vention will be a conclaVe Of higher law ia
natics, who will show no quarter to man
of liberal national views, and the only alter.
native for the class Of politicians of whom
Crittenden and others are the representa-
tives, will be TO form distinct organization
OF their own, based upon their views and
principles, making their own nominations
and running their own candidates. They
cannot control the Chicago Assemblage, and
it they participate in it, they will meet with
defeat and be bound to support the nomina.
tions which will be made by it. II they be-
lieve the interests Of the country require the
overthrow of radical and sectoual Republi
conism, and are convinced that it is their
duty to aid in its defeat, they must at once
get up an independent organization of their
own, or patriotichlly cast aside their prejudi-
ces and unite with the Democracy in the
great contest of 1860. There is in Ohio q
very large number OF the class referred to

Kentucky for lhe Union.

A very large meeting Of the friends of the
Union and Constitution was recently held
10 MsysVilIe, KY, at which the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That to the Union we owe oil
we are and all we hope to be as great, in
dependent and republican nation; that by
the Union we have already attained the rank
of a first class power among the govern
ments OF the earth; and that by the Union
alone are we recognized and known abroad;
and that by the Union alone can we pre-
serve our internal peace and prosperity and
defend ourselves against all external dan.
gers.
A similar meeting was held in Knoxville,
Tenn, from the proceedings of which we
extract the following:
Resnlued, That we look upon it as unkind
and wanting in courtesy, to rePel such mani.
festations of loyalty to the Union and friend.
ly sympathy for the South, and that we
hereby reciprocate that fraternal feeling
that we want but one Union, and that, so
for as lies in our power to perpetuate that
Union, we pledge ourselves to stand true to
the North, true to the East, and true to the
West--not severed, not dissolved, but all in
one and inseparable, now and forever.
ReSolved, That while there are those in
the North who have rendered themselves
obnoxious to rebuke and the seVerest cen.
sure on the question of slavery. with which
they have no right to concern themselves, it
would be uncandid in US TO pass over fact
which stares US in the face, that the South
is not without its disorganizers, manifesting,
no less than the abolitionists of the North,
a want of reverence for the Constitution and
the U0ion; that those possessing this feeling
are not true expositors Of Southern seRti
ment, and that, in our opinion, those who
favor disunion constitute but a meagre mi.
nority in the Sauth.

this wish cannot be controlled by politicians

consists in the fact that the Democratic or
