They confined the defence of Slavery to mere negro Slavery ; thereby giving up the slavery principle, and admitting other forms of slavery to be wrong. The line of defence, however, is now changed. The South now maintains that Slavery is right, natural and necessary, and does not depend upon differences of complexion. - The laws of the Slave States justify the holding of .white men in bondage! ' The Charleston Standard, a leading Buchanan paper in South Carolina, says : f "Slavery is the natural and normal condition of the laboring man, whether white or black., The great evil of Northern free society, is, that it is burdened with a servile class of Mechanics and Laborers, unfit for self government, and yet clothed with the i attributes and powers of citizens. Master and Slave is a relation in society as necessary as that of parent and child, and the Northern States will have yet to introduce it. Their theory of free government it a delusion." The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, Buchanan's confidential organ, sptak as follows: .- " Repeatedly have we asked the North, 'Pas not the experiment of universal lib ertyfaild? Are not the evils of free society insufferable ? and do not most thinking men among us propose to subvert and reconstruct it ? Still no answer. The gloomy silence is another conclusive proof, added to many other conclusive evidences we have furnished.that free society ; it is everywhere starving, demoralised, nnd insurrectionary. We repeat, then that policy and humanity alike forbid the extension of the evils of free society to new peopie and coming generations. Two opposite and conflicting forms of society cannot among civilised men, coexist and endure. The one must give away and cease to existthe other-become universal. If free society be unatural, immoral, unchristian, it must fall and give way to a slave society a system as old as the world, universal as man." The; Muscogee (Ala.) Herald, another Buchanan organ, says: -, "Free society I we sicken at the name. What Is it but a conglomeration of greasy mechanics, filthy operatives, small fisted farmers, and moon-struck theorists ? All the northern and especially the New England States, are devoid of society fitted for Well bred gentlemen. The prevailing class one meets is that of mechanics struggling to be genteel, and small farmers who du their own drudgery j and yet who are hardly fit for a southern gentleman's body servant.. This is your free society which the Northern hordes are endeavoring to extend into Kansas. ' The South Side Democrat of Virginia, jwliose editor was supported by the Democrats for. Clerk of the House of Represent UtiTes of the present Congress, pitches into everything Free in the following style: "- VWe have got to hating everything with 'the prefix" free, from free negroes down nd op through the whole catalogue free arms, free labor, free society free will, free thinking, free children and free schools all belonging to the tame brood of damnable isms. But the worst of all these abominations ' is tbe modern system of free 'School 9. The New England system of free 'schools has been the cause and prolific 'source of the infidelities and treason that have1 turned ber citi.is into Sodoms and Oomorrahs, and her land Into the common 'neitlins olaees ef howlinjf Bedlamites. We nabtninate the system because the schools 'are free." ' " . , . . t Tbe Alabsma Jus7, in speaking of the shooting of tht Irish waiter by mat oistia n?.h.H nnmoerat. P. T. Herbert, says: ' - iU is ttln time that waiter at the 'North' were eonvineed Ibat they are set ;' and ml ffentlamen in disguise. We hope: thit Herbert affair will teach them Ipradenee." -.- Th Wishimrton Union, the national or Nfsn of Buchanan, tayt that tht) free white tfabor era o' Kansas "Art) a nismx-i sri.t rabbLA who: bare been transferred like to MAr cimi to that ecuntry." Senator Butler, of South Carolina th uncle of the gallant nephew who assaulted Charles Sumner, snjs: "That men have no right to vote unless tney are possessed of property as required by the Constitution of South Carolina, There no man can vote unless he owns ten negroes, or real estato to the value of ten thousand dollars." It is the boast of the Statesmen' that theirs is a "national" party that its prin ciplct are the same both North and South We may therefore safely conclude that the above extracts express its opinions, and that the Southern Buchan organs faithful ly represent its "national" principles. Democrats oi Uino, are you willing to en- aorse by your votes tho atrocious scnll ments of these sectional nullifiers? The True Issue. Under this caption, the Richmond (Va.) Inquirer uses the following language: Nor will it avail us aught to bIiow that tbe negro is most happy and best suited in the condition of slavery. If we stop there we weaken our cause by tbe very argu ment intended to advance it; for we pro pose to introduce into new territory human being whom wo assert to be unfit for liber ty, self government, and equal association with other men. We must go a step for ther. We must show that African slavery is a moral, religious, natural, and probably, in the general, a necessary institution of society. This is the only line of argu ment that will enable Southern Democrats to maintain the doctrines of State equality and Slavery extension. For if Slavery be not a legitimate, use ful, moral, and expedient institution, we cannot, without reproof of conscience and the bluM) of ehnme, seek to extend it, or assert our equality with those States having no such institution. .Northern Democrats need not go thus far. They do not seek to extend slavery, but only aggree to its extension, as a mat ter of right on our part. MADISON ON SLAVERY. In the Convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, Madison objected to the word 'slave' being used in the clause which was inserted for the rendition of fugitives. His objections wae agreed to by the Convention, and the milder term of 'persons owing service or labor.' applicable a'ike to white apprentices and black slaves, was then put in our Constitution. Mr. Madison said on that occasion : 'I object to the word ' slave ' appearing in a Constitution which, I trust, is to be the Charter of Freedom to unborn millions; nor would I willingly perpetuate the memory of the fact that slavery ever existed in our country. It is a great evil; and under the i'rovidcnce of trod, 1 look forward to some scheme of emancipation which shall free us from it. Do not, therefore, let us appear as if we regarded it perpetual by using in our free Constitution an odious term opposed to every sentiment of liberty.' Douglas in 1849. In a speech made in Springfield, Illinois, as late as 1849, Stephen Arnold Douglas ued the following language in reference to the Missouri Compromise : It had its origin in the hearts of all patriotic men who desire to preserve and perpetuate the blessings of our glorious Union an oiigin akin to that of the Constitution of the United States, conceived the same spirit of fraternal affection nnd calculated to remove foiever the only danger which seemed to threaten at some distant day to sever the social band of Union. All the evidences of public opinion at that Hay seemed to indicate that this Compromise had bceome canonized in the hearts of the American people as a sacred thing, which no ruthless hand would be reckless enough to disturb. Upon the ruins of tins "sacred thing" the modern democratic party is reared. Showing Their Colors. The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer in a recent ppeech at Lebanon, said that the xtension of Slavery would be an "vvmix- ed good'' not only to the negroes, but also to the people of the North Western btatcs. Democrats of Greene county what do you think of this proposition? Con you endorse it and vote for it? 1 his same editor said in his paper a few weeks ago, that "disun ion witb all Us borrors would be a mild alternative to a government with Fremont at its head." lie is a genuine union saver, by profession, and a union breaker by practice. Xtnia Xetci. Slavery and Slavery Extension. The New York Daybook, a boisterous advooate for the election of Buck and Breck speaks at follows of Slavery and Slavery Extension: We hold negro "slavery" to be right, right ytr te, right in itself, in the Inature and necessity of things; that whilj there are defects or imperfections of detail, as in everything else and in all human institutions, there are perhaps no more efils connected with Southern sooiety than that at the North; that negroes are negroes and not while men, and, therefore, the peculiar domselio institutions of the South it n slavery at all, but on the contrary, the natural relation of the races, and the normal condition of society, whenever or wherever whites and negroes are in justaposiiior. And we further hold that slavery extension, so called, or the free, full and unembarrassed movement of Southern population, or its perfect freedom of expansion of emigration or development southward and tropicward, is absolutely essential to the peace, progress and safety of American civilisation, and indeed, to the very existence of the American Republic. And in our frequent articles on this particular phase of the mighty question now wpett us and before the people for their action, we have said that the Northern Democracy, when (he question should be presented to them, would be in favor ef the free expan sion of Southern populations asjhe dupes of impovtnre would term it, the extension of "slavery. MOUNT VERNON, DEMOCRACY IN 1848-60. On the 0th of January, 11348, the Democracy of Ohio assembled in Convention at Columbus, nnd among others passed the following resolution. (See Mt. Vernon Democratic DEMOCRACY Iff 1850, On the 2d day of Juno, 1850, tbe Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan Democra cy of the Union, as sembled at Lincin nnti. O.. and nmono- others, adopted the two following resolu Banner, of Jun. 18th, 1848.) Resolved, That the people of Ohio now, as tbey have always done, look upon the institution of slavery in any part of the Union, as an evil, and unfavorable to the full development of the spirit and practical benefits of free institutions; nnd that entertaining these sentiments, they will at all times feel it to be their duty to use all power, clearly tions. See Alt. Ver non Democratic Ban ner, June 17. 1856. Resolved, that the foregoing propoeition covers ana was in tended to embrace the whole subject of slavery agitation in uongress; and there fore, the Democratic party of the Union, standing on this na tional platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execu tion of the acts known as the Com promise Measures, given by the terms of the National com settled by the Congress of 1850, " the pact, to PREVENT ITS INCREASE, to mitigate, and FINALLY to ERAD ACT FOR RE CLAIMING FUGITIVES FROM SERVICE or LABOR," INCLUDED; which act being designed to carry out an express provision of the Constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, bo repealed, or so chaiiged as to destroy or impair its efficiency.Resolved, TnAT the Democratic partv will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress oh odt ok it, tub agitation of tub slavrrt question, under whatever 8i1afe or color the attempt mat be made. ICATE the EVIL. January 8th, 1850, the Democracy of Ohio again assem bled nt Columbus, and ro-adopted the above resolution, word for word. r6ec Mt. Vernon Democratic Banner, J -in. 15, 1850. Disunion. The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, of Aug. 29, snys: " Let the South present a com- Eact and undivided front. iet her if possible, detach Pennsylvania and southern Ohio, southern Indiana and southern Illinois irom the North, and make the highlands between the Ohio and the Lakes, the dividing line. Let the South treat with California, and, if neocssary, ally herself with Russia, with Cuba and Brazil. "A common danger from without, and a common necessity (slavery) within, will be sure to make the South a great, a united, a vigilant, and a wnrliko people. Outside pressure nnd inside necessity, are the only parents of true national greatness. Greece, Rome, Judea, Carthage, Phoenicia all owed their greatness solely to these causes. Their removal introduced laxity of morals, effeminacy, misrule, anarchy and final ruin." Buchanan's Election Itesult. The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, of Arg. 29th says: "The election of Mr. Buchanan may.and probably will, originate are-action in public opinion that will encourage the extension of tho conservative institution of slavery, and the extension of the British and Southern European races, for the very purpose of stemming and turning back the torrent of infidelity, materialism, sensunli-ty, agrarianism, and anarchy, that threatens to overwhelm us from tbe prolific hive of Northern Europe. "The election of Mr. Buchanan would be a re-actionary movement in favor of slavery and conservatism. The election of Frt-mont, certain and immediate disunion." Treason No Peace. The following is from the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer of August 28ih : 'T is treason to cry "Peace 1 peacel when there is no peace." There is, there can be. no neice, no lasting union between the South and JJtacK Kepuoncanism r.uner that political heresy must be effectually and forever put down, or disunion is inevitable. Ifcomoit must, the sooner it comes the better, for our enemies increase by the half million annually, whilst our own numbers are almost stationary. X2T But let no one indulge the fatal delusion that Fremont may be elected and yet the Uuion preserved. There is not one single possibility of such result. It is hard to keep it together even now. Then, it would fall to pieces without even a strug-gle to preserve it. Richmond ( Va ) in quirer. An Extra Examination, "Jenny come here, I want you." "Well, sir wot is it?"

This whole matter is In a nut-shell; either Fremont is blameless in that affair, or else prominent Democrats are great liars and swindlers. . This story of the Cows, is an old affair. Years ago, it was brought up in Congress, nnd voted an unmitigated Lit. If any one cares to investigate the affair, let him consult the Congressional Globe, 32d Congress, Vol. 2C, page 592 to 603 inclusive, whero he will learn how tli3 whole matter, was discussed and acted upon by a Democratic Congress. In tbo 3Sd Congress a bill was Introduced to pay Col. Fremont for cei tain sums of money he had disbursed in California for the Government, which money he had rais ed upon drafts drawn on the Secretary of State. Thcso drafts vcre protested, and the holdar called upon Col. Fremont for payment. Col. Fremont iaais'.ed that the money was raised and used fo:- the exlusive benefit of tho Government, and brought the matter beforo Congress. The princi pal management of tho bill, in its pusmige through the House, was tuken by tho Hon. "Mr. Phelps, then, as now, a leading Dem ocratic member of the House of Rcprcscn tatives from Missouri, nnd Hon. W. A. Gorman, a leading pro sl ivery Democratic member from Indiana," aud at present Governor of UlnneEota, appointed by Franklin Pierce. Gov. Gorman was chairman of the Mili tary Committee an I rrpoitcd the bill. In the course of the oi-cu:;i"n upon it, when it was before the lluuse, on the 12th day of February, 1853, he made use of the following language: "As to the alhged purchase of a large amount of cattle,- and tho grand specula tion out of the operation 1 How did he act as to that charge? Did he believe it blind ly; No, sir, we went into an mvcstiga tion of it, and what wns the result? We found that he had purchased a certain amount of cattle for tho use of the army, but becauso he had not the means of paying for them, he left the cattle in the pos session of the vender, who had finally to take them back for non-payment, bo that transaction ended in smoke, as does the charge. '1 will say lor Uol. b remont, that when I went into the investigation, I had some prejudices, which I thought perhaps might be unfounded, and which I am now satis- fied were unfounded. Tiio prejudices which had been upon my mind have been dispelled by the investigation of all his conduct n California, "and 1 am prepared to bear testimony on this occasion to the correctness of his whole lino of conduct as an of ficer and disbursing ngent. "JNot one dollnr can. no traced to his hands, no property can be traced to his hands, for which he cannot give to the Government satisfactory vouchi rs that it has been appropriately applied." Speaking of the achievments of Col. Fremont, Gov. Gurman, himself a distin guished nnd gallant officer in the war with Mexico, says: "Upon our whole Pacific border no bat talion behaved with more distinguished bravery, than did that battalion under Fremont. No battles were over fough t ngiint such tremendous odds. "The batilo of Buena Vista, even, was not fought ng linst such odds as were some of the battles by this little battalion under Fremont." But this brave soldier, who served bis coun try faithfully and honorably, is now incarcerated abroad for- debts incurred for the benefit of his government, the payment of which ts tought to be denied by mere quib bling." -.: . Mr. Phelps of Missouri spoke several times during tho progress of tho discussion, and 'advocated the claim and defended Col. Fremont' in tbe warmest manner. Hon. Rodman M. Price, the present Democratic Governor of New Jersey, made a lengthy and eulogistic speech in Colonel Fremont's favor, whom ho had known in California, with ninny of wboso services he was personally familiar, nnd the Hon. David K. Cancr, Democratic membir of Ohio, who advocated the claims, said that 'Personally he kai-iv Col. i remont very slightly. I have had the honor of nn in troduction to hint, lie is a small man, but he is as gallant as any m iss of stuff of the same siz.1 that was ever wrapped up in a coat that would fit him. And sir, he met a combination of enemies, such as very few of the ttrvantsof this republic have ever met both enemies that man presents, and enemies that God presents; mountain enemies, ravine enemies, enemies of frost and of heat, and of fasling. Sir, you might as weH undertake tor separate Fremont's soul from his body by your action here, he being three thousand miles distant, as to separate Fremont's fame from the fame of tbe Paciiio aide of the Republic.'Other prominent Democrats also spoke highly of the character nnd conduct of Col. Fremont. If any one desires further information in regard to this cattle matter and the conduct of Col. Fremont, we refer him to the Congressional Globe as above. Great Meeting at Alliance, Ohio. The first of the scries of meetings in Congressional Districts arranged for Gov. Chase, and Senator Wade, was held at Al liance, Stark Co., Sept. 3d. At least 8000 people were present. Portage, Summit, Stark, Columbiana, and Mahoming counties were represented. The meeting wns one of great spirit and ardent enthusiasm. Speeches were made by Gov. Chase, Sena tor Wade, John A. liingnam, senatcr U. v. Brown, Mr. Smith of Cleveland, (in German,) and others. Gov.

Albany Journal, A BLACK RECORD. The Buchanan press of tho Free States are assiduous in their efforts to induce their readers to believo that their candidate Is a good fiecsoiler, and will, if elected, prove irue 10 ma interests oi tne JNortl). To shorr what confidence the north could have in him, wo give tho following record of his acts, which we cut from tho Charleston (S. C.) Mercury, a paper that gives Buch-aoan an earnest support. After a review of Buchanan's courso iu reference to the Compromise of 1850, the Mercury says; This brings down his record on slavery, to his signature of tho Ostend letter for the acquisition of Cuba, and his indorsement of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line, and of tiie Kansas Nebrr.sku bill, To sum up the record: In 18oC, he advocated and voted for a oill to pi o vent the admission of iucendi;.ry publications through the mails. llo advocated and voted for the admis-siou of Arkansas. He opposed and denounced peti'ions for the abolition of shivery in the District of coiumuia. In 1 837 ho voted for Mr. Calhoun's resolutions, which embraced a complete, conclusive and direct assertion of tho coneti-tutioncl rights of the States, of slavery, and of the alligations of Congrsst to STRENGTHEN AND UPHOLD THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE SOUTH. In 1838, '39 and 40, he voted constantly with Mr. Calhoun, in laying abolition petitions on the table. In 1045 he advocated and voted for the annexation of Texas. In 1 847 he sustained the Clayton Compromise.In 1850 he urn;ed the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slavo Law upon the people of tho north, and openly remonstrated against the Slate of Pennsylvania denying to the Federal authorities the use of her prisons for the detention of fugitive slaves. In 1854 he advocated the acquisition of Cuba. In 185G he sustains the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line, and the Nebraska bill. On all occasions, and under all circumstances, in the face of opposition in his own State, and among his own people, during a career of thirty-six years in Congress, in the Cabinet, and in retirement, by his speeches and by his votes, Mr. Buchanan has been the same unwavering and consistent defender of the Constitution, the equality of the States, nnd the rights and honor of the South. We challenge the production of a single act of his life tainted with Frecsoilisin or hostility to the South. Important Statement by a Californiau. Co!, Fremont offered the Xomination for the Presidency He wouldn't take it. Hon. Geo. C. Bates, formerly Attorney General of Michigan, but latterly of San Francisco, made tho following highly important statement in a public speech at Kalamazoo, on Wednesday last. We invite for it tho attention of all honest Dem ocrats. We quoto from the Detroit Trib une: Hon. Gi)o. C. Bates, of California, in the course of Ids speech made the following important politic il statement : When he ( Mr. Bates) was expected to sail for California in August, 1055, ha was persuaded by Mr. Palmer, of tho firm of Palmer, Cook & Co., bankers of Sun Framiscj, to remain until October, when he and Col. Fremont would accompany him tl i her. Mr. Bates postponed his departure ca desired. But when the time for departure arrived, Col. Fr- mont, although his trunks were packed, did not go, but ordered his baggage to the Metropolitan Hotel instead. This was in consequence of the following facts : Gov. Floyd, of Virginia, had jus; arrived in New York Ci'y, for the special purpose of having an interview witb Col. Fremont, and the result of that interview was an offer made to Col. Fremont, by Floyd, in behalf of tho Dcmocntio party, he bavin advised with the leading men north and south, of the nomination for the Presidency. 11 said that party wanted a new man a min of integrity, nnd who won distinction outside of politics. Col. Fremont, afu r listening patiently, and even submitted to two separate interviews, nnd knowing the platform he was expected to stand upon, replied, that while'decply sensible of the high distinction of tho proposition m ide him, and fl ittered by the promisfB extended, yet with his opinion of the Missouri Uompruimsc, it would be impossible for him to entertain tho proposi tion. lie considered that repeal nn infa mous breach of faith, and sliould never desi-it denouncing the act and its authors Col. Fremont planted himself imprcgnably upon this position. Mr. Palmer being cognizant of theso facts, communicated them forthwith to Hon. N. P. Banks, and Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, and they camo and saw Col. Fremont, and to stale in briel the result of that interview he consented to lead the hosts of freedom in this campaign if the people should call him to that position. All this happened in September 1855, if we correctly recall Mr. Bates' statement. Ho gives the names and places, and vouches for the en tire accuracy of the above statement; and although it did not como to him witn the injunction of secresy, he stated he would not have revealed it had the facts not al ready been partially disclosed in last Saturday's New York Herald. Any statement made by Mr. D ites commands imp i-cit relianco in this community, where he bas been known for years, and is universally respeoted. JOT One of the best jokes of tbe seson was played by a livery man yesterday. He bired a norse and buggy to a Democrat with tbe understanding that he would not have to pay anything if he brought a Lo-cofoco from tht country into town. .After searching; for half a day, he gave up in despair, Drought the buggy borne and paid the hire. Zaneivitl Courier., 4th. 1856- "Domocracy" and Slavery One. There is, perhaps, no wish, on tho part of the "Democratic" party, to deny its sympathy and co operation with Slavery. Should tho denial bj made, by any ancient citizen whose love for the memory of Jackson and Jefferson lends him still to ndlu re to the party bended by Buchanan, it wcre only necessary to refer to the professedly Democratic party, in regard to theso two futhers of the party. Tho Nashville (Tenn.) Banner having brought to light and published a letter written by Gen. Jackson to Major W. B. Lewis, in relation to Mr. Buchanan's corrup.ion and moral cowardice, the Louisville Courier thus arraigns the Banner and viliilies the memory of Jackson : The following is Jackson's latter alluded to above : A private letter written by Jnckson in 1845, just before his death, meanly vilifying Buchanan, charging him with cowardice and fblsehoi d, n shamelefsly dia ged forth to defeat Buchanan. The infamy of ine attair re6ts upon Jackson for writing this letter, and next upon those who have brought it to light for political effect now, for tho first time. They who "heap op probrium mountain high upon the grave of Jackson," are they who havo dishonored him and degraded thcmsolves by publishing the unfortunate private letter of the insanely vindictive old tyrant, who in this very letter, proved that, to the last, no touch ot justice or mntrnimity towards an opponent or rival ever entered his breast, and that his only U6e for friends, was to make tool of them. If Buchanan had, in 1827, instead of faithfully giving truthful testimony, as he did corroborated Jackson's charges against Clay .Jackson never would have written his infimous secret letters of 1845! Wo believe that history convicts Jackson of slandering Clay, and then convicts him of slandering Buchanan because he would not prejudice himself by supporting the slander against Clay. If any Democrats should be displeased at our opinion of Tackson ; if they think we should admit the truth of a cowardly, secret, and slanderous letter, which assails the tiuth and moral character of Bu chanan only becausa it purports to have been written by Jiickon ; all we have to say is, they have mistaken our character for independence and love of truth and justice, and their mistake can make not the slightest change in our convictions and con duct. But we don t believe there is a candid Democrat in America, who does not enter tain precisely our own opinion of Jackson's secret letter slandering Buchanan, which only disgraced tho writer. This ought to inform old Jackson men with what consi-leratiun the old hero is held by tho "DeraocMcy." For .Jefferson it is enough to know that, were he alive now, having written his "Notes of Virginia," he would be a staunch Republican ; or, having written that book, he would be inilictablo fur "treason" in Kansas, under laws which this "Democratic" party is seeking to force upon the country.If other evidences more direct were wnn-led, it might ba found not only io tho dec larations of Southern, but also in those Northern Buch man journals which dare to tell the whole story. : v s - -- mmm mnW& tii -i t,.., . m. The Bloodshed in Kansas. -, . . . Tbe mails are loaded with heart-sicken ing accounts of murder and bloodshed in Kansas. It seems the outbreak at Leuven worth, was on an election day. It was voted to shoot every Free State man who should approach tho polls. A Fiee State man not understanding this nrrangement, offered to vote, when four balls whistled by his head. Providentially, he escaped with his life. Then tho attack commenced, and every rain who wouldn't promise to fight the Free State men was diiven from the town. Phillips was shot in his own house. A ball was fired into each eye, and four charges of buck shot lodged in hi'-breast. The houses and stares of all su pected ot Free State sympathies, were burned.A Mr. Abernethy, one of the citizens driven from Leavenworth, gives the follow n facts in regard to the attack upon Ossawj.ttomie, to the editor of the Indian-opolis Journal. He snys the two prisoners sLot, were not the Browns. The true account of the battle of Ossa-waitomiu of which we published an account from the pro-slavery papers is about this: There were fifty Free State men, and no more, encamped at Osaawaltomie, nnd were attacked by two hundred and fifty men under Reid. The Rufiians had several men wounded, but having two cannon, as well as uvu men to one, they overpowered the Free State men. There were at least twelve Free State men killed, and might have been more. Five were taken prisoners. Two of theso were taken to the camp and killed. This act so disgusted a portion of the Uissourians, that one hundred at once deserted and came home. From a captain of one cf the returning companies, and a Free State prisoner, whom they had with them, Mr. Abernethy learned the facts we have narrated in regard to tho fight and the massacre.

T., Aug. 27, 1053. ; It U my duly to rtcurd one of tho most helliah outrages which ever disgracod any age for country; but which, alasl is not an insulated i.nc iu our bi'H'ilif'il Territory. Let this case be hand d down as nn evi- dence of demoralizin,' effects upon humnr ify of that cursed insiiiution which our ru-hrs are trying to force upon us. A Mr. Henry Hyatt, with his wife and family, moved from Milton, Wayne county, Ind., to Kan-as, and fcetll.'d on a claim on Washington Creek, about eeven milet south from this city. Accompanying hit wife was a young widow lady, a friend' of the family, who dtnired to emigrate to K n-sas. Mr. Hyatt commenced building a mill on his claim last Spring, end, as extra hands were needed, a pro-sluvery man was employed, who boarded at his house. ' It was scon noticed that when any news of tho movements of the Free S ate or Pro Slavery party reached Hyatt's, that this man, nfu-r supper lime, would po off to ihe rendezvous above, known as Fort Sanders, which has since been broken up, and ihere 6tay till quite late in the night, ana that on Sabbath evenings he rpent all his time either there or at the hou- e of a pro-slavery neighbor close by. At last Mr. Hyatt's family, whoso feelings and sympathies are with the cause of Freedom, here charged him with bein a spy, and the young lady cited instances of his visits to pro slavery places after the receipt of news by them, with an earnestness very distasteful to the Ruffian, The result was that he left Mr. Hyatt's employment. On tho night of Wedi.es ley, August 20, when all the family had gone to rest, the young lady left her room and went to oner of the outbuildings in the rear of the house On her return she was seized by four mask-d ruffians, nnd so overcomo was she by terror that before she could scream her tongue was choked out of her mouth and: tied with a string behind her head and around her neck. She was then told that if she made the least noise she would immediately be shot; and a revolver was held to her head while they tied her hands behind her back. They then carried her a few7 hundred yards from the house into a patch of long prairie grass, nnd commenced their hellish deeds three standing guard while" ihey each in turn violated her person. She had swooned from fear, and had ndfc returned to a s ate of entire consciousness, when this inhuman assault was made upon; ber person. After completing their infamy, they kicked her in the side and abdo-. men and left her, it is supposed, to die.' How long 6he remained in a state of insensibility she does not know, but she was enabled to stagger in the direction of..th house. On reaching it she was unable to open the door, her hands being tied behind her back, and she was also unable to speak' her tongue being tied with a string and now swollen to an alarming size. She was, too wee.U to shout, and in. the effort to do, so she f.iinted. In falling she overturned nn empty churn which stood nenr the dbor and tht' noiso mado by the churn agiin l the siding of the house awoke . Mr. Hyatt and hi j family, who.found lur in the con-T ditioh (Tetxribed.

"'' The WelUurgh (Va ) Herald, one of the papers published in what is culled the "Pan Handle,"-.contains a communication on the subject of slavery in Virginia, from which wo make the following short ex' tract: , - Wo are taxed to support slavery;. tho clean cash goes out of bur own pockets in-' to the pocket of the slaveholder and this' in many ways. I will now allude' to but! two. If a slave for prime is put to death or transported, the owner is paid for hi,u out of the public trossury, and under (his. law thousands are paid out every year. Again, a standing army is kept in Richmond for no other purpose than to berea--dy to quell insurrection among the slaves this is paid out of the public treasury nn- nually. This standing krvnx is called the public guard, but it is no less a start Mng-' army always kept up. We will quote from' tho aco of 18.1G the fxpei t-o of these two,, items to the btate, ou the 23d and 24.b pages of the acts: " To pay for slaves ex ecuted nna transportpa, iweniy-iwo mou-sand dollais." "To the public guard at Richmond, including the interior guard of the Penitentiary, twenty-four thousand dollars." . TbU, be it noticed, U for only on year, making near fifty thousand dollars for those two objec's in one year ; but it can be shown by '.ho presi-r.t unequal plan of tn ation between clave property and other property, that this io a small item of our cash pocketed by the sUveholJer, and yet some will eny that we have no reason lo complain.
