After I bad tokon my sent one morning at taddinfftott, in nn empty carriage, f was .joined, just as the train was nVnvihg off, by a Btrartgo looffinp young man, remui-nouiy long flowing hair. Ho was, of com-so, a lit-"tle hurried, but ho seemed besides to bo so disturbed and wild, thtit I was quite atarTnod, for frar Of bis not being in his right thind1, nor did his subsequent conduct at all renasnre mo. .Our train was an express, and his. inquired eagerly at onco which was the first station' whereat we were advertised to stop. I consulted my "Bradshaw" and furnished him with the required Information. It war-Heading. The young man looked at his watch. Madam." said he, "I have but half an hour between me and and it may be, ruin. Excuse, there ford, my abruptness. You have I perceive, a pair of "scissors in your work-bag. Oblige me if you please, by cutting off till my hair." "Sir," saiu I, It is impossioio. "Madam," ho urged, and a look of severe determination crossed his features; "I am a desperate man. Ilewafe how you refuse me what I ask. Cut my hair off short, close to the' roots immediately; and here is a newspaper to hold the ambrosial Curls." I thought ho was mad, of Course; and believing that it would be daftgerons to thwart him, I cut off all his hnlr to the last lock. "Now, madam," said he, unlocking a small iortmsnteau, "you will further oblige me by ooking out of the window as 1 am aboat to thanga my clothes." , Of course I looked out of the window for 1 considerable time, and when he observed, "Madam, I,need no longer put you to any inconvenience' I didn't recognize the young man in the least. Instead of his former rather gay costumo, be1 wore a gray wig and silver spectacles; ho looked like a respectable di-nna of the Church of England, of aboutsixty-four years of age; to complete that Charae-(ter.tke held a volume of sernions in his hand which -t&ey appeared so to absorb him-mlght jhave been fcis own. "I do not wkb to threaten you, young lady," lie resumed, "iM. I think, besides, that I can rtrust your kind face. Will you promise mo, jiot to reveat this &etamorphosts until your journey's end?" ' "I will," said I, "mosteertainly." At Reading, the guard and a person clad in plain clothes looked into our carriage. "You have the ticket ray love." said, the -young man blandly, and looking to me is if he were my father. "Never mind, Sir; we don't want them," said the official and withdrew with his companion."I shall now leave you, madam," observed my fellow-traveler, as soon as the coast was clear; "by your kind and courageous conduct you have saved my life, and perhaps even your own." In another minute he was gone,and the train was in motion. Not till the next morning did 1 learp from the Times newspaper that the gentleman on whom I operated as hair-cutter, had -.committed forgery to an enormous amount, jn London a few hours before I met him, and that he had been tracked into the express train from Paddington; but that although the tolegraph had been put in motion, and described him accurately at Reading, when the train was searched, ho was nowhere to be found.

Two yoiirtf ago this duy, the first National Convention of thu Republican pm-tv assumblcd at I'hiladvfpliiA to' nominate enndidates for President and Vice-l'rosidont. That Convention proceeded to frame and form a truly lie-publicun platform, and to nominate John C. Fremont, Of California, for President and Wil-lium L. Dayton, of Now Jersey, forVice-Pros-idont men widely known and favorably regarded by their fellow citizens generally as having desorved well of their country. What a deluge of falsehood and scurrilous defamation that nomination provoked how Col. Fremont was held up to tho country as ofdihhonoraMo parentage and foreign birthjr-how certificates and uftldavits were piled upon each other, proclaiming him ti Roman Catholic, in order to repel- the "Americans" from his support how he was denounced as a defaulter, speculator, swindler &c, and once actually advertised us having run away cannot so soon have faded from the public mintf. And the attacks were as unprovoked as they wero attrocious. The Republicans did not assail tho personal integrity or blacken tho private character of either Mr. Buchanan or Mr Fillmoro. Wo opposed these gentlemen and supported Col. Fremont because of the principles and public measures with which they are respectively indentified, but we said nothing which should have given pain to those nearest to them. We let ilium worship God as ih.iy sa fit, und left their mothers' ashes undisturbed in their grassy graves. We made our canvass on broad and vital issues of tho highest National concern, and were answered by thu arguments of us-sas.sitis of reputation, clothed iu the language Of blackguards. Thus wore the minds of thousands-prejudiced and closed against our appeals; thus were we, by the aid of extraordi nary expenditures of money our adversaries having1 all the Federal offices and a great preponderance of the wealth of the country in their interest overpowered in' tho ballot though triumphant in the canvass. Wo wero voted down by those who could not rend and; would riot hear our argitincnts--by the stolid resistance of s few counties in Eastern Pcnnsyl-vunia, by the vote in good part illegal, of raiK road laborers temporarily encamped in Indiana and Illinois. While "Americans" were steeled against us by bold, persistent falsehoods, ma king out Col. Fremont a Catholic, the Catholic vote wascassed against hint with a unanimity and in numbers quite beyond parallel We bcliovo the majority ef Irish votes throwhfor Ruchanan esceededthe whole num ber of Irishmen legally entitled to vote in the Country. We recall those fucts to-diiy in no spirit of weak comylaint or idle regret. They point us to a futuro full of hope artcr encouragement, Whether Col. Fremont or anothev lead us in tho contest of I860, it is not possible that he should bo immeasurably, recklessly, atro ciously defamed as was our standard-bearer in 1856. Our principles are better known: oar purposes cannot be made the bugbear that they then were, wo war not cn tno right ofa State to establish or maintain Slavery if it will, but on those assumptions which had converted all the territory of the Union into Slavo Territory, and wero fast converting the Free States into virtual SSiave btatcs. Our existence as a party is an active protest asraihst the careless aggressions ana encroach' merits of the Slave Power against that haughty Spirit which had succeeded in making a belief in tho inalienable Rights of Man a bar to any participation in .Federal onlces or honors against that spirit which has trebled, by purchase and conquest, tho acres ot Jslave Labor under our stars and stripes, and was on the high road to unchecked dominion when checked by the organization and attitude of the Republican party. Thousands who ignor e tho connection of cause and effect are quite aware that a great change has boon effected and is still in progress that the now certain organization of Kansas as a Free State stops forever the advance of slavery toward the North and North-west that Texas is likely to yield more Free than Slave States to our Union that the attempt to reopen the slave trade is one of the most disastrous failures of this era of general bankruptcy that Missouri is clearly preparing to swell the ranks of the Free States, and that Delaware and oth ers will not long lag behind. Slavery, con demned by the clear-sighted political economy no less than by the enlightened morality of our age, is doomed to decline and vanish in the full blaze of humanity and Christians anity of our age; it needs only that it be confronted by a quiet, steady, determined, but constitutional resistance, to insure and hasten that benignant consummation. We cherish joyful hopes that 1860 will make this plain to many wno now utsueueve u. Goodfor Evil. A shekel of silver is the same as a "pieco of silver," and its value is understood to be 2s. 6d.

We give a tew passages which indicate the temper and force of tho whole speech: Gentfemcn, I am unalterably opposed to tho adoption of the LeCompton Constitution, under whatever specious device it may be presented, or with whatovor accompaniments of alluring temptation of benefits on the one hand, or of crushing wrongs and disadvantages, or even humiliating disablements, on the other. Never for a single moment, by my own freo will, shall I Consent to piss under tho degrading yoke of that monstrous and unmitigated fraud. If Congress, regardless of tho clearly expressed Will of the people, and tyrannically trampling nport their dearest rights, had unconditionally adopted the President's despotio and insulting recommendations, and forced theLe-compton Constitution upon the pcoplo of Kansas, as a citizen of that subjected State. I would have been in favor of taking tho parchment on which that instrument was written, and, by ony common hangman, publicly burning it in the presence of all tho peoplo the same peoplo who have onco solemnly rejected it at the ballot box, and who-, I believe, still regard it Villi the same loathing and indignation which tlley then felt and expressed, iu every legal and peaceable form, in which they had tho opportunity eitlier'to speak or uct. I am here to day, gontloman, to lift my voice against the acceptance of the Leeoinp-ton government at tho hands- of Congress, and topersuude you, (if it bo not an insult to talk of persuasion on any such subject,) to stand up nuw, and do battle against this-great wrong and" outrage, as manfully ond ellectu'-ally as you did on tho 4th day of January lost, when you overwhelmed its supporters by a majority l more than ten thousand votes. Gentlemen, I have sottrht in vain to find nli in htetnrv of such treachery as that which has been exhibited by the present administration towards Gov. Walker, in these momentuous alliurs in Kansas, ainco tno days of King David, no parallel can' bo found. Even his treatment of Uriah.tho Ilittite, was scarcely so bad as Mr. Buchanan's treatment of "his" best friend and counsellor." By Uriah's own hand, Da-vid sent an order to J'oab: "Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle. and' retire ye from him, that he maybe smitten anddie." But treacherously sacrificed as he was, he at least had the opportunity ef meeting a glorious death on the field of battle, falling irt thecarjso of his country and leaving behind an imperishable name. He escaped tho mortification of surviving his own honor, arid of knowing himself betrayed by his King. Iting David-, too, had tho excuse of being moved to commit this crime by tho most uncontrollable of human passions. His- conduct exhibits a caso of unmitigated treachery-" treachery to friends treachery to principles and pledges treachery to the best and highest interests of tho grot and patriotic party which placed' him in power. David's offspring by Uriah's Wife was not permitted' to live;: so the Lecompton Constitution the bastard result of Mr. Buchanan's- unnatural alliance With the Southern disunionsts already strio-kiJH' with tlil) curse of God, will die by the hands of the people. David, however, truly repented of his great wickedness, was forgiven and restored to the favor of his creator. Mr. Buchanan, on the other hand, being obdurate and unrelenting, has committed the unpardon able sin:- and will receive tho execration of good men1 in' all time to como. 4 4 "Gentleman; f cart llordly trust myself to snoak of this- passage in the history of my country.

Residence of an embassy at Pekln: f IueUnmitjc but oe territory. Tie Ordinance of 1787. The call for a State Convention of those who iro in favor of extending to out territories tho freedom which has made Ohio great and precrous as a State, is before our readers. ' The day fixed for tho Convention is the anniversary of tho adoption of the Oidi-mmce of 1787 a moasuro from which has Unwed all our prospnrity and greatness, Dy this ordinance slavery or involuntary servitude', except in punishment of crime, was forever prohibited in all the Northwest Territory, from which Ohio was formed. Tho statosmen of that day took measures to limit and localizo the power and influence of tho class- interest of slavery; they foresaw that freedom would make tho peoplo of the United States prosperous and happy, and they looked fof ward to tho time when servile bondage would bo rerjigmbored only as a thing of the post, and its attendant evils give Way before the mild and benignant sway of universal liberty. Thoir anticipations have not been realized. The policy they applied' to' Ohio, and unUcr which she hus grown until her population is mimliored by millions, is reversed in tho ca.-o uf Kansas, many of whose people went from among us in the hope that they would be allowed (ho same freedom in Kansas, that they were permitted to enjoy in Ohio. Mr, Buchanan, as '.President of tho United States, and hisr "illustrious predecessor." Gen. Pierce, have shamofully disregarded tho policy of the fathers,-and unworthily made obeisance to a Snuthcrn aristocracy which seeks to crush out freedom' and mako the sla very interest paramount anduniversal. Their tactics to secure tho triumph of this interest havo been tho same as those practiced by tyrants in all ages. Crowned heads in Europe j make oath to support the constitution adopted by the representatives of the people, aud af- terwards deliberately seek to make their pow er porpotuttl by disregarding their oaths. This perjary has become so common across tho water that tho people almost look for it as a matter of course. Let us glance at tho history of events in Kansas, and see if it affords no parallel to this infamy. When Mr. Pierce became President, a similar prohibition of slavery in all the territory north of the line of 36 deg. 30 min. prevailed as when Ohij was a territory. A solemn covenant was made in 1820' that this territory should forever be consecrated' to freedom, arid this covenant was acquiesced in until this "democratic" traitor to freedom was sworn in as President to the United States. During his administration this prohibition was abrogated; and it was declared that the people of the territory hud the right to form their domestic institutions as they might see fit. The covenant breakers triumphed. Then came tho efforts of the slavery aristocracy to introduce slavery into Kansas, and' the infa'-mous efforts were of a character suited to the infamous deed. Ruflians wero hired by the score to enter the territory, harass the people. rob them of their substanco, and deprive thcmJ of their rights. They entered heartily 'into the congenial work assigned them, and tho Pierce Administration secretly aided and encouraged the ruflians in their work of extending Slavery in Kansas. After Mr. Piorce came Mr. Buchanan, and the people hoped that one who had tho reputation of a Statesman would act a Statesman's part, and imitate Jefferson in seeking to limit and localize slavery. This hope wasdestined-, to be rudely broken. Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's accession1 to power, came his declaration that slavery exists in all the territories by virtue of the Constitution of tho Uni ted States, and that neither Congress not- the people of the territory havo the right to pro hibit it, thus- malting Slavery, instead of Freedom, the paramount law in the United States making tho local law of slavery paramount over the' universal law of liberty.' It remains for the people of Ohio-to say whether this reversal' of IhS' teachings of the fathers-will receive thoir approval' and endorsement. Will this treason to Democracy be countenanced? We believe not. Wo think it will1 bo repudiated and spit upon as-it de- serves' to be. Wo trust, therefore, the pcoplo of Ohio will come up-on the 13th of July and place the seal of their condemnation upon the .meV-andsthe&kJ which- would make this country a lanaVaVSjaves and Masters, instead of tho nome qf Ifieiien.

They wero delivered to tins President. Their purport has not officially transpired, but it is ascertained that many of tho accounts with which tho public, mind has been pi'odjudieed are erroneous and calculated to deceive the country in respect to Utah matters generally. To this fact may be attributed the uncourto'ous refusal of Col. Kane to communicate with tho press. It is understood that Col. Kane denies the truth of the telegraphic announcement from Boonville intimating that tho army would more on the arrival of the Poace Commissioners, when in fact Gov. Cumining bus requested it to remain where it is until orders shall have been received from Utuh. Contrary to the reports widoly circulated, Col. Kane does not admit that there has been any suoh. want of harmony between Gov. Cunnuin" and Gen. Johnston as would -jeopardize thu public interests. He speaks in -eulogistic terms of Gju. Johnston and the highest state of discipline) in which tho latter maintained- his forces, and of tho praiseworthy spirit manifested by the army. The Administration is much pleased with tho manner in which he is understood to allude to tho conduct of Gov. dimming. saying that he is deserving of the gratitude of the country. There is great hopo in Utah as elsewhere that tho war is at an end. The peace party had been armed sufficiently strong in time to arrest the march of the Mormon forces against our own last spring. It was tno' impression at Utah that Brigham Yovmg, who openly espoused the cause of the United States, Would in this respect be able to maintain his position . There was at one ti me strong opposition to him before emigration was resolved upon but ever since this feeling ofhostility has been subsiding. AM the northern settlements are evacuated with the exception of a few Mor mons left to g'wd the public property at Salt Lake City, and besides these there are no Mormons for forty miles South of that city, The seventy Mormon families alluded to in a recent dispatch did not, as was stated', apply to Gov. Cumming, at Camp Scott, for protection. They were brought there By him from' Salt Lako City. Two treaties Were yesterday entered into at tho Indian Burea with the Upper and Lower Sioux of Minnesota, tho object of which is to confine them to a portion of the large reservation set apart under the treaty of 1831 to quiet the land titles and provide them with permanent homes, with tho usual educational' and1 industrial' assistance. '' , LooMng Glass for' Locofoca Politicians. Tax Payers Head! Tho law passed by the recent legislature providing for tho collection of taxes twice a. year instead of once as formerly, will add very much to the expenses of collection, and' at the same time, wo think, prove of very littlo advantage to tho public. In Columbiana county alono the additional expenses under this law, we understand, will amount to not lebs than $u00 PER ANNUM. Would it not be better to save this sunt' and forego the benefits argued in favor of the mousure? $300 is no small item to add to the already burthensome taxes of the county, but whether this measure may be considered beneficial or otherwise the legislature was pledged to a reduction of fees and-taxes-, instead of increasing them: The abovo however, is only a minor specimen of tho extent which locofoco practice falls short oflocofoco preaching. They have ordered the- election of eight Couvmon Pleas Judges, each with a salary of $lo00i amounting to an additional f urn' of $15,000 IER ANNUM. They havo increased the salaries- of the Supreme Judges thirteen hundred dollars each; raising tlietn' from' $1,700 to $3-000 per annum. There being five Judges, we have an aggregate annual amount in this- item of $7,500 DOLLARS: They have increased the pay of toWnship Assessors from $150 to $2 PER DAY. They havo increased the salaries of the officers appointed' by the Board of Public Works. They have ordered an adjourned session in violation of the constitution and- of their pledges to the people, which will result in an' expense' to the peoplo of at least $100,000 DOLLARS. They have repealed the bill passed By the last Republican legislature, which limited the fees of county officers, and' which alone Would" have saved tho people of the State at least $100,000 DOLLARS. They have restored the library tax which will add' to the general burthen; another coo) HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. This lokyisin is a peculiar institution: Its leaders are strict abstractionists", that is' to say they are slightly inclined on all occasions'! to pilforism. They vrlll hook from one dollar to million at a clip.

Tho Sunday Lux ler, a Democratic papor in Philadelphia, speaking of tho recoirt demon stration of tlie Administration wing of the party in Illinois, say: It is mainly to the effect which' will be produced in other localities, by the schismatic action of tho second convention in Illinois. that we desire to call attention. The Pl-rao- cratic party throughout the Union is not so compact, just now, in sentiment and foeling.as to warrant oxporimftnts with its iwambars, nor is it so strong in numbers, that whole squadrons can be garroted at pleasure in the Free Slates. There are thousands of dicn in' Pennsylvania, high in mental attainments) and strong in Dcmocrotie Anncirks, who will not quietly permit their brethren in Illinois to bi sacrificed, merely Ucauso they doubted the propriety and jtotieo of forcing- Kansas into tho Union under the LecorriV'on Constitution.
