II. P. WARDEN, Prest., E. Alltno, Sec'y. Missouri Politeness. When Hon. John Sherman was in Kansas discharging his official duties, in invet legating the outrages in thnt territory, he was called an abolitionist, and told by one of the Pro Slavery men that he would like to cut his heart out. Mrs. Robinson the wife of George Robinson had to carry on her person a portion of the testimony to prevent a search, and her husband was arrested in hopes that the evidence of the committee would be found on his body. The Secretary of tho committee was obliged to return to the States in disguise, to prevent the remainder of the testimony being taken, nnd the Deputy Marshals of the committee were frequently arrested, and in various ways harrassed nnd nnnoved. The committee for their own safety wero compelled to sit at Fort Leavenworth guarded by U. S. Troops. What a mockery and farce to call this a fiee Government. Consolidation or Railroads. The Bel- fontaine Sc Indianapolis, Pittsburgh nnd Cleveland Railroads, the first extending from the Cleveland St Columbus rosd. near Crestline to the Indiana line at Union, the latter thence to Indiannpons, and for merly known as the Bellefontaine Sc Indianapolis Road have been consolidated and placed under the control of an Execu tive Committee. 1 lie interests of the two roads were identical, and their prosperity demanded a union in their running arrangements.' They are now managed as one road, and greater economy and effi ciency are attained in their managment than ever be ford. tW Hon. Philip T. Herbert, the mem ber of Congress from California, who shot the waiter Keating, has been indicted for murder and is now in prison unable to get bail. We hope ne will experience the se vere penalties of the law, which be to rich ly deserves. Sd ' From the National Era. FRKMONT.

Buchanan and Slavery A Virginia Orator's Opinion. Henry A. Wise made a speech at Richmond, Vs., a few days since, ratifying the nomination of Buchanan, which the New York Herald had reported in full, very much, no doubt, to the astonishment and indignation of Mr. Wise, We muke quotations from the Herald's report: He has been especially faithful -on the subject of slavery. Mr. Wise undertook to say that not only no man North, but no man South could show a better record than that of James Buchanan on that vexed nnd dangerous question. When the issue of incendiary publications arose he voted to violate the very mails rather than permit the agUtJors of a Nat Turner insurrection to liglirtfie fires of incendiarism by the post office. When the Wilmot proviso was invented especially for his destruction, by a Camerou faction in his State, he firmly withstood nn insidious contrivance in a Free State to un dermine the tenure of Slave property, and wns found maintainingthe sovereign equality of slave Slates, when others fell on that fatal issue. When the issue of annexation of Texas arose, he contented not himself by going for a measure which would admit a State "with or without slavery about her," but he wenf'undividedly and unspent" for a measure which admitted a State, a new State, not with or without, but with slavery already established as her "peculiar institution." In 1846, when the issues wero coming to an issue of internal sinie, or separation, ne am go tor an ex tension of the line of the Missouri compromise to the Pi S3, ai d every S-uthcrn man went with him. On that point Mr. Calhoun himse.f went farther North than Mr. Buchanan went. He submitted his Amendment to the Oregon bill; proposed that the clauso against involuntary slavery should be the law North of the line, if no question should bo raised against slavery South of the line. This was in the spirit of 1819 and 20. They did not propose that what was constitutional on the other side, but they agreed to disagree; that if no question was raised pro-slavery on one-side, none should be raised con-slavery on the other side. They submitted to the law of climate, tnat Jack Frost should reign north of 36 30; and Jack Frost had decreed that the "Ebo shins and gizzard feet of negroes" should not and could not live in the North slavery would not be profitable there. It was profitable in the land of sugar and cotton, and even of Virginia tobacco and corn, and Mr. Buchanan, with the whole South at his back, with myself among others and no one here or elsewhere will say lam an anti-slavery man went to make the Missouri line a "fixed fact" to the Pacific. The cost of not running that line to the Pacific may be valued thus to Virginia: We now get a thousand dollars for a sound slave; we would then have gotten from three lo five thousand dollars for nn operative in the gold mines of California; four hundred thousand multiplied by five thousand, or even three thousand, will show our immense loss. One billion of dollars would not compensate Virginia for her loss in not running the line on to the Pacific The North had fixed the line. They had the advantage of it until annexation. It was then our turn, and we did Hot take it. That was not Mr. Buchanan's fault. tW Throughout Ohio, and in fact, all over the Northern States, the greatest en thusiasm is manifest in the Republican par 7- -- r From the Sandusky Register. Mr. Fillmore on Nullification. ' t We have refrained from noticing Mr. Fillmore's remarkable declaration in his reception speech at Albany, thinking that some explanation might be offered, palliating its virtual counsels for secession and rebellion on tho part of the South, in the event of the election of tho , Republican candidate for the Presidency. But we have not yet seen tho correctness of the reported speech questioned in any of the journals supporting him. On the contrary, those of their number which refer lo it all, do so in terms of approval and justification. Wo are therefore bound to conclude thnt he did avow tho startling sentiments ascribed to him, in the following paragraphs, in which he refers to tho position and prospects of the Republican party: "We see a political parly presenting candidates for the Presidency nnd Vice Pres idency, selected for the first time from the Free States alone, with tho avowed purpose of electing these candidates by suffrages of one part of the Union only, to rule over the whole United Slates. Can it be possible that those who are engaged in such a measure cun seriously have reflected upon the consequences which must inevitably follow in case of success? Cun they have the madness or the folly td believe that our Southern brethren would submit to be geiverned by such a Chief Magistrate? Suppose that the South, having a majority of the Electoral votes, Bhoulil declare that they would only have slaveholders for President and Vice President, nnd should elect such by their exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the North? Do you think we would submit to it? No, not for o moment. And do you believe that your Southern brethren are less sensitive on this subject than you are, or less jealous of their rights? If you do, let me tell you that you arc mistaken. And, therefore, you must see that if this sec tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to the destruction of this beautiful fabric reared by our forefathers, cemented by their blood, nnd bequeathed to us as u priceless inheritance." The meaning of all this is, that if Col. Fremont should receive a majority of the electoral votes of the Union, and should thereby be duly chosen President of the United States, nccording to the Federal Constitution and laws, it would be "madness nnd folly to believe thnt our Southern brethren would submit to be governed by such a Chief Magistrate!" The positive and emphatic form in which Mr. Fillmore puts the enso, implies a justification of a Southern movement for disunion, in event of Mr. Fremont's success. Such words coming from such a source, are calculated--to excite astonishment and indignation. Mr. Fillmore is too old and camions a politician to have uttered them without due consideration and reflection. They cannot be regarded as the hastv ebullition of an unguarded moment. Their object was three-fold; being intended, first, to prejudice untairly, the position of an honorable opponent; secondly, to alarm the timid and fortify tho ultra logy conserva' lives: and lastly to win votes from the Southern States. In either of these a3 pects they should be unworthy of men of much smaller reputations and much less pretensions to dignity and nrmness than Mr. Fillmore; but coming from him, they are entirely without excuse. More than this, Mr. itlluiore must have known that ho was misrepresenting facts, when he intimated that this was the first time that the Northern ard Southern sections of the Union bad been arrayed against each other in a Presidential contest, each with their sectional candidates. In 1828 Jackson and Calhoun, both Southern men, ran nnd, were elected, on tho same ticket, the opposing ticket, having on it two Aorttern men, Jolin tyuincy Adams, of Massachusetts, for President, and Richard Rusk, of Pennsylvania, for Vice President. fhere was no disunion then, when two Southern men were elected, nor will there be now, in event of the election of two Northern men; for tho Union has never been, nnd is not now, so great a necessity to the North as to the South. If the North, with its comparative independence, did not withdraw when Southern Sectionulists were elected, it is unreasonable to suppose that the boutli, with its inhereut weakness, will do so, upbn the choice of Northern candidates.We might give other instances, in which the Presidential contest has been practically, though not avowedly a stiifo between Northern nnd Southern interests and prin ciples. One precedent, however, from the past history ol our national politics is as good as n dczen; since it precisely meets and flatly and squarely refutes theex-President's suppositiousargumcnt and conclusion.Mr. Fillmore's doctrine of secession, di solution, or civil war as revenge for the defeat of a favorite candidate may do very well for the chameliou Republics of South Amerca nnd Mexico, where it has been in vogue during the past thirty years, or more and where "revolutions" are abont semimonthly in their occurence; but the people of the United States will probably prefer the old fashioned habit derived from their fathers, of submitting quietly nnd peaceably to the voice of a majority, without re gard to the latitudo or longitude of tho successful candidates. tW Mr. Fillmore is bidding slrong for Southern votes. He not only justifies the South for not submitting, if Fremont is elected, but ha alio justifies them for repealing the Missouri Compromise, He says, most untruthfully, that the boon was offered by the North, and the South could not do otherwise than accept. We shall not insult our reader by exposing this contemptible sophistry. Mr. Fillmore is running a race with Mr. Buchanan for southern votes, and he promises to oat-strip the nonentity of Wheatland.

PIRACY ON THE MISSOURI RIVER ' Martini law of ItuUluulsm. What an infernal farce the pretended fair play or the Kansas bill which has just passed the Senate really is, may be appreciated after reading the following from the Missouri Democrat of Friday last: Tim emiqrlnts Oit ths bulta We published a few days ago the foot that the Free State emigrants who itarted to Kansas on board the steamer Sultan, had been disarmed by citizensof the towns along the Missouri river. The following account of the proceeding lias been handed to us by onu of the party for public-tton We give it without comment: The Eteamer Sultan left St. Louis for Weston, Tuesday, 25th of June, 1856, having on board a oounpany of men from Massachusetts, under thecommand of Captain Cutter, bound for Kansas Territory. The company counted of about fortv men. each well piovided for any emergency, being armed with a Sbnrpe's rifle, bowie-knife, revolver, etc. When we left St. Louis no trouble was anticipated from the border ruffians, but we bad not proceeded far up the river when we were informed that the boat would be stopped and tho arms" fa&eri away. A short distance below Waverly we were met by the Star of the West, having on board the Chicago company, who, alter having all their arras taken away, had been forced to return; these endeavored to dissuade Capt. Cutter from proceeding further, but they were refused. Cupt. Cutter determined to get peep at the elephant at nny ihk. When we nrrived at Waverly a deputation from that place came on board and demanded the rilles o.i board, and the Captain thinking discretion wa3 tho better part of valor, quietly surrendered them. WV wero congratulating one another that wo had escaped so easily, but great was our chagrin, nnd I am afraid fear also, when on reaching Liberty, wo perceived a company of nbout 150 men drawn up on the bank, and saw the mouths of two cannon pointing directly nt tho boat. From this place a guard escorted us to Independence, at which place we were again stopped by a salute from a 24 pounder, loaded with grape shot. Hero Captain Shaw's company came on board and accompanied us as fur as Weston. When a short distance above Independence it was proposed to search the rooms of the passengers, suspecting that they had arms concealed, tho result proved that they were not deceived, for there were found some 1 5 or 20 rifles in the rooms; some of these had been bidden in the mattresses, which had been cut for that purpose. It was said that a lady threw overboard some 15 or 20 rifles, but for the truth of this wo will not vouch as we did not see it. After taking all the rifles, it was proposed, to cap the climax. that all the side arms should be taken away, and accordingly each one was commanded to walk up to the officer and fork over, which very reasonable request was complied with. When we reached Delaware City we were hailed by a large red flag and commanded to land; here we were boarded by a committee, who, after learn-ing that alt was right on tho goose, allowed us to proceed widiout further molestation. When we reached Leavenworth City, a guard was placed on the forecastle, who would' allow none to go on shore. This was done also at Weston. We left Weston Mondcy morning, 30th inst., at 7 o'clock, and at eveiy place we landed the samo guard' was placed at the stage plank. Arriving at Independence, Capt. Shaw took of! his command, nnd we proceeded to St. Louis' a great deal relieved. We arrived Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. It is needless to add that for most of us, tho sight at the elephant as it now is, Las beua for the present sufficient. . Ruffian Sovereignty in Kansas. The report of the Congressional Committee detailed to Kansas to inquire into and collect the facts concerning the political' disturbances in that Territory, was lnid before our readers yesterday . They have, doubtless, without n solitary excep ton, risen from the perusal of this astounding report,' this historical document, with tho most' painful emotions and convictions. The names, dates, figures, facts, and specifications of this report, however, silence all doubts and all prevarications as to tho doings of the border ruffians. Explanations, apologies and denials may be piled up mountains high upon each other, but here are the acts, facts, dated, names and places, all the materials of legal testimony as before a court of justice, and they caa-not be displaced. Upon such evidence, the President of the United State! beforo an honest jury could hardly escape imprisonment for life. What a picture! We Lave read with Incredulity tho atrocities of English civil war, Irish rebellions and French revolutions, from a shrinking disinclination to believe in the possibility of such examples of human depravity; but we are incredulous no longer. When any por ion of people belonging to the most civilised, enlightened, and law and order loving raoa under the sun, can descend to such scenes of systematic ruffianism as thoee whioh are sot forth in this Congressional report, we are reduced (o the conclusion that the general repugnance of mankind to pirates ana highway robbers, to burglars and midnight assassins, is but a mockery and a delusion that the securities which tho laws of ths land and the usag s of civilised society throw around us, and over ui, like a atronz shield, are aubject, like Kansas, to the law of ruffianism and the chances of the hour that man, after all, is but a savage can-" uiuai, uuu mai uis social, poiuioai, moral and religious elevation Is but s humbug and a cheat, Upon one point tbero can be no mistakeand the point is this; that squatter sovereignly is ruffian sovereignty that the Kansas-Nebraska law, "leaving the people of the Territory free to regulate their own domestio affairs in their own way," under auspices of Messrs. Douglas and Pierce, means organized rufnauisa, whisky, spoliation, robbery, murder, firs ana swora. .v. jr. tlernirt. rmrHa-PtimtiR Bdildlr,; I Main sod Vine streets. ip tir, rnrnr ff A TTTrTTT
