Political Intimidation.

The Republicans have one advan-
tagc in the approaching Presidential
election, which they did not possess in
1856. Then they were threatened
with dissolution of the Union in case
they elected their candidate now all
parties seem to concur III the princi-
pic that the government must be snS-
tanned, whoever is chosen PRESIDENT
Some Southern politicians still! indulge
in mcnaces, but even in South Caroh-
ma it is doubtful if the disunion party
be in majority.
The assertion of the South in 1856,
that it would break up the govern
ment in the event of the election OF
Fremont, was the most impudent elc-
ment ever introduced into our politics.
1t could not be sustained on the ground
that Fremont had no party in the
Slave States, for the fact that he had
no party there was one of the wrongs
which needed redress. There was
nothing in his opinions which would
Justify the South in opposing them by
revolution for his opinions were
identical with those Of many Southern
statesmen of former period and
fifteen years ago they would not have

commenced shortly after two o'clock,
and was not over until six. Senator
Seward, the Hon. Charles Francis Ad-

lage. Each was warmly welcomed
and was listened to with eager atten-

From Dubuque the party proceeded
to Kansas via Galcna, Frecport, Quin'

addressed them. He was deeply
moved by the unlooked-for warmth

We take pleasure i'll chroniclinG the
various and multiplied improvements
in the useful machinery Of the day
In this instance in calling the attcn-
ton of every one using a scale, to the
great improvements found IN iiowe's
Standard Scale The principal of lev
cragc as used in every scale hereto
fore manufactured is the same as IN
that of scales fifty years ago and al
though the manufacture OF portable
platform scales is more modern, stu
the old,fashioncd check rods. with the
platform resting and wearing upon
the knife edges, has been the only scale
offered to the public. The Howe'S
scale requires no pit, which in Il prai-
ric country, particularly, is of great
advantage, and ali friction, instead Of
being received on knife edges, as III
others, is by an ingenious device re
ceivcd on chilled iron balls, and it will
weigh accurately either in or ont OF
level. As an instance Of this we will
mention that one of their two hundred
ton scales put up seven feet cut OF
level, has been in use four years, and
weighs as accurately to-day as when
first put down. We advise every one
to examine IIowe's Standard Scales,
confident that it will by inspection
recommend itself to that best OF al

Gov. Seward at st. Paul.
A st. Paul writer of Sept. ISL

A st. Paul writer of Sept. 18th,
says
Senator Seward made to-day the
great speech of the campaign. He
looked to the acquisition OF British
America, Russian America, and Span
ish America, and declared that the
man was born who would live to see
the American people coming to the
harmonious understanding that this is
a land of freedom and frccmen, and
that it is the land Of the white, and
that whatever elements there are to
disturb its present peace will before
long pass away without endangering
this great Union. Talking of the
threats of the South to dissolve the
Union, he asks, who is afraid No
body is afraid ; nobody can be bought"
He prophesicd that the time would
come when New York would cease to
be the Empire State and Pcnnsylva-
MIA would cease to be the Key Stone
State, as Virginia has already ceased
to be the Old Dominion. The Domin'
ion, the Empire State and the Key
Stone State would be hereafter in the
Mississippi Valley.

Railroad Accident.
EMERALD GROVE, Wis,

Mr. EDITOR My last letter had
scarcely left the Office, bidding you
adieu till something else turned up"
when something else did turn up, in
the shape of a frightful accident Oh
the Racine and Mississippi Railroad.
On the 18th inst, the 80 p. NJ pas
scngcr train from Racine to Frccport
was run into by freight train which
was behind the time. The passenger
train had on board full load, mostly
returning from the Walworth County
Fair, held at EIkhorn. At the time, it
was dark and foggy, and the train
had neglected to place the proper
light in the hind car, thus by culpa-
bic neglect, five lives were lost, and
twenty-five mere 80 seriously injured
that some have since died.
The names of the killed arc Mr.
Baker, produce dealer, Of Dclavan
Wis; Morgan Scvcarns, of Daricn
