Among those which have expressed an unqualified disapprobation of-the pro- ceedings, and which denounce the cou- vention and its nominee, are the Colum- bia Times, Orangeburg Soutliron, New- berry Mirror, Sumpterville Times and Pee Dee Times. _ The Charleston Mercury, denounces the convention, but coldly and reluctant- ly accepts the nominee. Our prediction that the Black Demo- crats would abuse Col. Fremont fero- ciously, since he is the People’s candi- date for the Presidency, has already proved true, notwithstanding the asser- tion of the Register that the Buchanan- ites were too happy, in view of their own brilliant prospects, to speak evil of him. The fact shows that their compla- cency is very much disturbed by the manner in which Col. Fremont is going ahead among the people, and in which James Buchanan is falling astern. In the Register of Monday, it is stated that Col. Fremont is a Frenchman. Col. Fremont is a Catholic. Col. Fremont’s personal appearance is not prepossessinrr. Col. Fremont is of small stature and sharp features. Col. Fremont, apparently, hasn't been shaved in ten years. Col. Fremont’s only qualification for office, is his capacity to endure hard- ships, so he may live longer than Tay- lor or Harrison to distribute the spoils of otfice. Col. Fremont is a duelist, "more sav- age and bloody than was ever before Iicard of in a civilized country.” Col. Fremont is a'slaveh0lder by edu- cation. Col. Fremont is supported by Judge Edmonds, from the Lunatic Asylum. Col. Fremont received the support of Pete Morris, a comic singer, the same evening. _ All of the above is taken from a sin- gle copy of the Register, that of Moti- day afternoon! Evidently there is more tribulation than truth at the Register office this time.——Pallad2'zm7.. More of it. The Boston Journal counted up its exchanges of a single morning, last week, including papers from all the New England, and several of the Middle, \Vestern and Southern States. The re- sult was as follows :——For Fremont ‘.28, for Buchanan 7, for Fillmore 6', neutral with strong Fremont tendencies 4, straiglit out Whig 2. The ' United States (Philadelphia) Gazette publishes a list of fifty-three papers on its exchange list which support Fremont; eleven of them are classified as “straight wliig” journals. ' The Daily Milwaukee Wisconsin, the long established and leading democratic journal of VVisconsin, has raised the ban- ner of Fremont and Dayton. Its editor was formerly connected with the Alba- ny Argus. COL. Fxtnuownr.-—»-There is no jotiriial iii the country whose opinions are bet- ter considered, and of more real weight than those of the National Intelligen- cer. In allusion to the Republican Nominee it says : “The fact is, though full young to be l.ii'oiiglit forward for the Presidency, he is a man of high qualities, modest, wise for his years, self-reliant, brave, collect- ed and cairn ainid dangers.” Aw, Incident --During the proceed- ings of the Philadelphia Convention, an iiicident occurred which shows which way the current is setting with the peo- ple, After the nomination of Fremont, Mr. Fisher, of Pa., rose and said, that a gentleman of the city had taken the sense of the hands in his manufactory, consisting of thirty-one Democrats, and they were unanimous for Fremont—- This is but the beginning of the eod.—— Laboring men everywhere, who have any regard for their rights, and who are opposed to the extension of slavery and labor, ,will go for Fremont, and renounce their adhesion to the sham Democracy.

GOD SAVE THE COMMONWEALTH OF CONNEC- TIC U'I‘. Three Days Later from Europe-- Mr. Dallas ‘not to be Dismissed. The screw steamship North America from Liverpool, June 18. ‘reached Que- bec, Monday evening. The American difficulty is likely to be settled amicably, and Mr. Dallas will not be dismissed. The funds rose slightly in consequence. In the Houseof Lords the 15th, the earl of Clarendon, stated in reply to the earl of Derby, that it was not the intention of the government to advise her majesty to suspend diplomatic relations with the United States. This announcement was received with loud cheers. The earl of -Derby expressed his satisfaction at the statement, but be regarded the course taken by the gov- ernment as humiliating and as acknowl- edging that they had been iii error.- Clarendon appealed to the House not to question, and the subject was dropped. Arrival of the Baltic. New Year: July 6. he steamer Baltic arrived at her dock l0o’clock this morning. A London paper thus sums up the news of the week as regards the rela- tions with the United States: “Judging from the country newspapers,’we should say that the country is delighted with the turn that the American question has taken, and it is surprising how much the public has become enlighted on the sub- ject by the cheap press, almost every newspaper of that class having devoted itself to a rational exposition of our American affairs.” It is also pleased with the nomination of Buchanan, but it does not appear tounderstand that Mr. Buchanan, in order to attain this honor, has set his face against the great move- ment for the emancipation of the slave. To this our correspondent adds, that the excitement on the‘.-lmerican affairs had subsided so’ much as no longer to exer- cise any unsettling effects on the mar- kets. ~ _ Several of the leading and would be leading presses continue to keep up a se, ries of grumbling editorials, but on the whole‘they are pitched in a more reason- able key. The London Times, howev- er, warns the Government to have the Ceiitral"Americaii affairs settled up be- fore Mr. Buchanan shall come tolthe Presidency, the"reeruitiiig affair having -been ‘Mr. Pierce’s question, and the cen- tral American Mr. Buchanan’s. Parliament has been "occupied in dis- cussing the propriety of altering the form of "test oaths. ' ' , A The Commissioners of the Commons on the Danish Sotind Dues, ‘had coimrneii-, ced their session. , ' . An agent of Gainsborough, who uses only the initial letter “D,” but has en- closed his card to the editor of the Lon. don Star, writes to that paper stating that he is a near relative of Mr. Cramp ton, and thus terminates his letter ;—-“I have most strongly felt, and most firmly believe, that the public interests have been”overlooked for private considera-, tioii. The Philadelphia Accident". PiiiLADi=:Li=i~irA, June 1.§The wharf at the foot of Reed street, in this city, caved in this evening, and the heavy shears used by: Merrick & Sons for rais- ing macliinery, fell among the crowd of men, women and children who were promeiiadiiig. It is reported that from' twenty to thirty persons were crushed‘, maimed or drowned. The Evening Post publishes a call signed by several leading Democrats, who decline to support Buchanan, invi- ting their fellow Democrats of like feel- ing, to meet them in Convention at Syr- acuse, outlie 24th of July, for cohsiilta- tion, and if deemed proper for political organization a_nd action.

Terrible Accident in New Ca- llilallo We learn that an accidental , explosion of Gunpowder occurred in, New Canaan on the afternoon of the 3d inst., by which 22 persons, mostly Boys from 440 20 years of age, were badly burned and otherwise injured. One of the number, a Lad about 4 years of age, nam- ed George T. Murphy, (lied about ten hours after the explosion. ’ It seems that the political friends of Mr Buchanan were about raising his flag and pre- paring to fire_a salute.’ For this purpose J3 cartridges were made up. consisting of one pound of powder each._ These cartridges were placed very carelessly upon the shed of Mr. B. Tucker—under a bench, while a multitude of village boys were holding it jubilee around &c., as boys are wont to do on the eve of our national festival. Just at this time some one of the number threw a fire-cracker upon the powder, which immediately exploded. The effect was horrible-Cliildren were thrown into the street and scattered in every direction by the force of the cxplosion,—-with faces burnt black——clothes on fire and screaming in greatest agony. Eighteen of the 22 were badly bugned, one of which has died after enduring the most excruciatiiig agony. Several others are said to be in a very critical situation, with very little hope of surviving: Several of the child- rcn we are told, were so disfigured as not to be recognized by their own parents. Faces- bodies and 1imbs——were blackened, burnt and skinned in a horrible mariner. ‘ i This accident has cast it deep shade of sad- ness over the whole village, and carried sorrow to the heart of many a family. Itis the result of the most criminal carelessness on the part of those who had charge of the powder, as well as those who indulged in the hazardous exploit of letting off fire-crackers under the circumstances. ' The verdict of the Jury of Inquest was in accordance with the above. In Col. Fremont a Catholic ? Horrible stories have been circulated with an assiduity known only to unscrupulous and desperate partizrins, about Col. Fremont’s Gatholicism—his having immured a child in the Georgetown Convent, etc. We think this base slander is cffcctiially put at rest by the following manly contradiction by the Editor of one of the leading religious papers of; the day. The Editor speaks from his own person- al knowledge, and his article is simply the honest promptiiigs of :1 truth loving heart. We trust the hint ‘given to “ Christian men” will not be overlooked in this vicinity, as we fear there are some among-us who have done . violence to the commandment, “ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." We trust we shall bear no more about Col. Fremont being it Catholic, especially among men having any regard for their character for- honesty and truthfulness : ~ From the N. 1’. Independent. Shall a Man he a Roman Catho- lic against his Will '! Political heats are-apt to hatch to false- -hoods as tropical heats do venomous in- sects. But Christian men should be es- nance or propagate such falsehood. At this time, many newspapers reck- lessly charge Col. Fremont with being being a Roman Catholic. Though it has been aiitlioritatively contradicted, it still continues to be asserted, and in very positive and impudent forms. We have taken pains to inform our- selves in this matter, and now state to the Christian public the simple truth, that good men, at least, may cease to bear false witness. Col. Fremont was blessed with a mother of devoted piety. She was a member of the Episcopal Church, St. Phillip’s, Charleston, S. C., and reared her son in her own faith. Indeed, until he was fourteen, Col. Fremont was edu- cated iu the hope and expectation that he would become an Episcopal minister. At sixteen, he was ‘confirmed in the Episcopal,Churcli, and has, ever since, when within reach of the church, been an attendant and coiiiniimicant. And since his temporary sojourn in New York, he has been an attendant. at Dr. Anthon’s . church, niitil recently; and now he worships at Grace Church. Mrs. Fremont was-rearedstrictly in the Pres- byterian Church, and -united ~ with the Episcoiial Church upon her marriage with Col. Fremont. Their children have been baptized in the -Episcopal Church. it is said that a daughter has been sent to a Catholic institiiition for education. So far from it, she has never been sent away from home air all, but been educated by her own mother. - It is well known that Mrs. Fremoiit is the tlaugliter of Col. Bent0n,'and that ‘at the -time, her father was opposed to to her marriage. Col. Fremont person- ally solicited several Protestant clergy- men to perform the marriage ceremony, buton account of Col. Benton’s opposi. tion to it, they were unwilling to do it. A female friend, in this exigency, said that she could findva clergyman who would aid without fear, and brought in a Catholic clergyman, who married them Like a true lover and a .-gallant man, Fremont said that he did not care who did it, so that it was doi.ie quick and strong Had we been in Col. Fremont’s ,place,, we would have been married ifit had required us to walk through a row of priests and bishops as long as from Washington to Rome, winding up with "the Pope himself. Is it not lndicroiis to see a class of cit- izeiis so terribly frightened at the spread o.f Catholicism, and dreading the evils of papacy above all things, soizi a quiet Protestant geiitI_eman.and ins isting, tipoii it that he shall be a Latlioiic I In vain he struggles and protests; ‘Catholic he shall be, whether he will or not! “But gentlemen, I do not believe in the doc- preservation, Mines; I was reared by a Pro test moth,-' 1 had made up my mind, for one, that under no cii-cum- it, letting ofl’ fire-crackers, dancing,_singing, ' pecially careful that they do not counte- er. in a prnio--iarit «-liiiicli ; I have mar- ried a Prom-taiit wile; my children have had Protestant baptisin; we and they attend Protestant worship, and we are, both by education and conviction, Protestants. You must excuse us, but we cannot be Catholics.” The eager gentlem will not be baffled. “You shall be Catholics; you a Catholics; we will have you Catholics; all that say may be true, in some mysterious manner ybu‘ére Catholics, and we. will have it so?’ Poor Col. Fremont. We do not see how he will get over it! These terrible Protestants of the Express are out. with sword and pen, determined that he shall be a Catholic! fl" Mr. Fillmore said in his Albany speech that the South would not submit to see plriced at the head of the government, a President and Vice President both from the Free States. He even went so far as to say that he would not submit to a. President and Vice Presid em. both from the Slave States. He avert-ed that it was -the first time in the history of ‘the gov- ernment that such nominations had beenmnde by any party. Unfortunately Mr. Fillmore here forgelis his- tory and his own experience. In 1824 the Democratic party took both its candidates from the Slave States; as it did again in 1828 when Jackson and Calioun were elected ; yet we never heard of Mr. Fillmorc’s nullifying them. In the same year, John Q. Adams and Richard Rush, both from Free States were run in opposition. In 1836, Harrison and Grim. gcr, both from Free States, were run by the Whigs, and Mr. Fillmore, instead of going in- to convulsions over it, no/ed for them. Instead of the present being the first time that nominations for President and Vice Pres- ident, both from the some sections, have been made, it is the fifth time. When Jackson and Calhoun were elected, (both S1aveholders,) they received the vote of every Slave State except Delaware, and a part of Maryland.-- Did the North talk of seceding? And what is the peculiar privilege of the South that Mr. Fillmore should talk of its seceding upon the election of Fremont and Johnston ? This absurdity of Mr. Fillrnore’s shows the difference between him and Col. Fremont; the former regards. the South as masters-—the lat- ter as equals and brothers. There is the dif- ference. 4th of July Oration. As we have no special report to make of the doings on the 4th in Norwalk, and no ora- tion to publish delivered hereabouts, we have yielded to the force of ancient and patriotic custom so far, as to give upon our outside to- day, ri. most eloquent and truthful dissertation upon the civil and political condition of mat- ters iind things as they existed but ti short time since in this country. The ideas so elo- quently and fearlessly spoken, are so peculiar- ly fitting the present condition of public afiiiirs that it will not be deemed an untimely publi- cation although given some years since. Em- enating too from the pen of no less a person- age than Hos. JAMES BUCHANAN, will give it a special interest to his present admirers and supporters for th e highest ofilce in the gift of American people. We bespeak for it a careful reading. ' E‘ There were about the usual amount of accidents, fisticulfs, fire crackers, and fustian on the 4th. In our own vicinity, the conser- vative part of the population housed their patriotism, and read the life of Fremont, &c., in the shade, while Young America left town in various directions, and the gentle swains took some fair damsel and departed upon an excursion, one sloop and two scliooners, with an innumerable quantity of smaller craft hav- ing done duty in that direction. The citizens of Bridgeport had quite a time of it, while ti more moderate but very creditable obser‘ vance of the day transpired at Ridgefield. BELL STOLEN’.-—SOl'lIe person or persons to the jury unknown, with more patriotic ardor than regard for the commandment, stole the bell from the Over River District School House. The committee request, however, that it be returned, else some very unpleas- ant investigations to certain parties, may be instituted. ‘Q, Mr. Fillmore threatens to nullify and dissolve the union, if the people should dare to overlook his merits and elect Col. Fremont President. How lucky that the people are able bath to elect Presidents and preserve the Union! Archbishop Hughes out against Fremont. -As-might have-been expected, this notori- ous prelate who professes to control the Irish vote of the country, has given in his adhesion to the opponents of Col. Fremont, and will use his whole influence against the election of the latter gentleman. What a commenta- ry is this upon the impudent falsehood now so iiidusti-iously circulated, that Fremont is rt Catholic. The Archbishop denounces him be- cause he has dared to accept‘ an American nomination, and Erastus Brooks invents new lies every day, to aid the Romish prelate in defeating the,o,nly man of whom the Romish Church is afraid.

Thence on the mom of this our natal day, we crossed the Rubicon which separates the modern *‘ E- ternal City” from the Goths qnd Vandals of the Jersey shore, entered the broad and luxu- rious cars of that stiipeuduous line which has bound in wedlock the waters of the ocean with those of Erie, and here we are, after it well spent 4th, amid the boom of cannon and the fiz of fire crackers, eutleavoring to manufac- ture “ copy” for the insatiate compositor at home. Middletown is it thriving town on the line of the N. Y. and Eric road some sixty miles from the sea board and is the great Milk and Butter Depot of old adipose Orange County. Here we spent our incipient juvenility, pay- ing our morning and evening devours to their Bovine Deities, and expending our physical energies in the extraction of that lacteal se- cretion which flows in unctious sitreacis to lu- bricate the wheels of commerce as well as the palate of the Epicure. The locality may well be called the “niillr;i/-way” of our geological sphere, and a. most fitting spot for the‘ advent of one who was to bear the name of the ‘blind oldbard’ of Greece. The first exercises of the day, was a most fiiorough watering of the streets by the inter position of Providence.-[Although some $10 were raised by the patriotic citizens for the same purpose.]i The hells were then rung and some salt-petre exploded——al‘i in keeping with the spirit of “the day we celebrate.” Later in the niorninga procession was fortn- ed, headed by a newly organized brass band who did themselves credit, as they held their spirits and wind throughout the day and eve-H ning. It was marshalled by a nursl ng of our national military foundling hospital at West Point, who distinguished himself by riding a most elegant horse, “the admired of all admi- mirers.” The village circumscribed, the pat- riotic mass entered the Presbyterian Church, where whilom, we used to sleep, and “sleep soundly,” (as said the great expounder,) un- der the depressiiig influences of a sumrner’s sun and unapprcciated lessons of Divinity.- Here was a sea. of bare heads, and shoulders bending under the Weight of , gossamer bon- nets. “Fair women” there wei'e—but few men brave enough to force an entrance into the inaelstroom of beauty. On this occasion as’ on most others, the women had outwitted the men and taken possession of every square inch of interior space. More persistent than oth- ers, we effected an entrance through a rear window and mounted a pedestal formed of‘ the two inch scroll of it pew door where sut-roui:- ded by the protecting aegis of hooped skirts on the one side and the compact simplicitics of a. bloomer on the other, we listened to one of the most admirable orations it has ever been «our fortune to hear. The orator was Wm. Fuller- loii, Esq., of New York, and sincerely do we wish this splendid effort of his genius might be given from the pulpit of every church in old Connecticut. It was emphatically an ora- tion for the times, devoid of buncome and fits- tian, but breathing throughout the purest pat- riotism aud the noblest virtues. It will have its effect in old Orange. Sorry we are that its telling pathos could not have been listened to by a. greater proportion of voters—-or rather. sorry that the mass of his fair auditors were not allowed a voice at the ballot box. At 4 p. m., it toast table was spread at J AS. W. Hov'r’s Union House, (by the way, a. most admirable stopping place, should any of our friends have occasion for hotel accommoda- tions here,) where 9. “feast of reason and a flow of soul” merged the day’s celebrities into a splendid display of Fireworks in the evening. ' No accident marred the festivities of the day, although the spirits of many seemed kept up solely by pouring spirits down. Ethi- opia stretched forth a liberal hand, and there were lean and lank Uncle Tom’s, obese and upoplectic Aunt Cliloe’s, and sineivy Harry's and bellicose Topsy’s by the score. The Celtic element also mingled freely into the patriotic mass, with now and then a phleg- matic Teutou, who took infinitely more com- fort in burning tobacco than Chinese snap- pers. (Sorry are we, that the score of young “ sons of Sam,” who now disturb our cogita, tions, were not moved by as rational a philos- ophy.) Tliough seriouily, from vrliat we saw of the prevalence of this vice among boys scarcely escaped from their fundamental winding sheets,we do not think the lads of Middletown need any encouragement in this direction. , We noticed among the novelties of the day that the Erie cattle cars formed the caboses where those whose patriotic ardor excited their pugnacius binnps to “.ct_ri'lrc for their al- tars ,” the. Here they were imprisoned within the grated cages, till sober reason resumed her throne, and then released. The day entled—tinxious fathers soiigt their inspirited sons——motliers wrapped up their faggcd-out nurslings, and pressed them to the breastworks that will ever sustain the Ameri- can Infanti-y—gre en country bumpkins eleva- ted their dulcineas into the well-scrubbed milk wagon, and kiddcd city beans repairetl with their simpering misses to luxuriate on Ice Creams and Lemonade, while we, like (I. sage Benedict as we are, shall soon repair to our hospitable home over the hills, and “lay rcstive at the approach of the cars, and final- ly escaping, ran along by the side of the track, until attempting to cross ahead of the train, was caught by the “cow catcher,” and shoved along until a‘ cattle-guard was reached. when the train passed over him, cutting him into “mince meat.” The owner,‘ Mr. Charles Sturges, valued the animal at $150. ERRATA.—We seldom stop to advertise our own blunders, even" if fatal to the meaning of what we intended to say. But when our devil makes usspeak of President Pierce’s mater- nal aid, instead of “material aid,” as he did a couple of weeks since. .2 “the greatest TurIr'.9 store out of Boston,” instead of the “greatest Yankee store,” &c., in referring to the Messrs.

The latter mistake was natural, however, as Ditibolus had just donned his new suit of Summer garments from Turk’s cheap Clothing Store. @‘ A Great Fremont ratification meeting was held at Hartford on the evening of the 3d inst.

Suxmr Evnxrxo, July (Elli. Saturday we spent in it general perambiilti- tion, and in exchanging greetings with those with whom we started to “climb life’s hill to- gether,” indays lang syne. We called upon our brother Hasbrook of the Whig Press, who has one of the neatest and cleanliest printing ofiic es we ever entered. Here too, we met Miss Dr. Lydia Sayer, the lady to whom allu- sion was made in our Washington Letters, as the Capitolonian Bloomer. She has an of- fice here, and has donned the Editorial chap perm, and wields the pen of a ready writer. She was the Washington correspondent of several Nor-thern papers last winter, and many an erratic member will have occasion to re- member the power of her caustic pen. She is for “ wouians rights” tenus capuIa_ we presume, and dons without embarrassment the full Bloomer costume. She has recently started an able advocate of her peculiar doc- trines called Tim S1'i3i:L, which she edits with marked ability, and which has already attain- ed a. circulation of two thousand copies. She is also a Medical graduate, and visits invalids “ professionally.”-—(lf we were as we used to was been, we should always come here to be sick‘) In fine, she is in every sense it lady, well educated, refined, sociable and facinating and has the moral courage to elevate her phys- eal being above those faslijoiiitlile follies which so sadly mar the health and beauty of the great mass of American women. She talks like a. book_; writes with the sweetness of ii. grace, or the gall of a fury. Indeed, her manner of treating the foibles of her weaker sisters, ex- cites our wonder that she is not. indicted under the act relating to cruelty to animuls.—With- it], she is just budding into womanhood, is blooming rind beautiful, can walk faster, jump further, ride or drive‘ better than one it 9. hundred of the degenerate . rnasculines who I \ .‘\ A I opciiiiig for soinc nice young man!

The 4th at Georgetown. FRIEND B.—Our National Anniversa- ry was again celebrated in this place, in a patriotic and becoming manner. At an early hour in the morning, the field piece taken from the British, and subse- quently from the Pimpavvaugers, was brought forth and placed on the ground it had heretofore occupied on similar oc- c‘asions. Georgetown Heights,the place where the cannon was planted, rises al- most perpendicularly to a height of near- Iy 200 feet above the surface of tlie Nor- walk river at. its base, and the romantic beauty and splendid scenery displayed from its summit, will compare favorably with the Highlands or Pallisades. In the valley below lies the the village of Georgetown, and in every tlirectioii as far as the eye can see, the country is beautifully diversified with hills and valleys,amoug which are interspersed buildings of almost every description, while the silvery streams winding their way among the groves covered with verdant. foliage, and the fields with lux- uriant crops, when viewed from this commanding elevation is a sight calcu- lated to cheer up the most gloomy mind, and give the spectator a grand idea of the sublimity of nature. There is a certain kind of spirit connected with the 4th of July, that makes a man. and especially an American, feel more independent than on any other day in the year. The old cannon showed from re. peated discharges, that it had lost none of its former vigor, by a year's inactivi- ty, but that it was capable of making full as much noise as on any previous celebration. The Sabbath School Scholars from Zion’s Hill, arrived on. the 10 0’cl0Cli train, and were met at the depot by those of this place, a procession was formed, which marched to the School House Green, where they listened to an excellent discourse from Dr. Bill Of Norwalk, His remarks were interest- ing and appropriate for the occasion, but while the audience were listeiiing with the utmost attention, a shower came up and caused all to suddenly dis- perse in every direction. The ShUW€1' lasted only a few minutes, when the ‘Doctor collected his scattered flock, and finished his remarks. The juveniles then partook of the good things pre- pared for them, and after all the cere- monies peculiar to the day were dis- posed of, they again ‘formed a line and marched to the sound of music to the depot, when Mr. Darrow, the Daguerri- an Artist, took a picture of the proces- sion.. The distanttsouiid of the whistle now warned them that the cars might ,soon be expected, and— shortly the good natured "all aboard” of Mr. Street was heard, amid the rolling of drums, the booming of the cannon, the scream of the whistle, and the ringing of pfflls. our visitors took their departure. Al- tlioiigh this celebration was expressly designed for little folks, there was much to please and instruct those of a larger growth, and all both young and old ap- peared to be highly delighted with -the i ‘r 1‘. proceedings of the day. Falling into Linc-—Hon. Frank Granger, the most resolute Silver Gray Whig in the land, and his numerous friends in York State have come out for Fremont. So has Samuel H. \Valley. the straight Whig candidate for Gover- nor in Mas- , the idol of the Americans of that State, that his heart. yearns fo.r a " general rising, ,to drive from their ill- used power the myrmidoms of Slavery who now control the nation. “I belicve,”_ says he, “that ‘the way will be opened ere long for this, and while for one I yield any preference to accomplish this, I feel sure that others will be patriotic and noble enough to do the same, so that with united sacrifices our uiiioii may be successful.” __________.__ It having been stated in the Philadel- phia Republican Convention that there were 2000 Republican voters in Balli- more and one newspaper which suppor- ted the cause, the Baltimore Patriot de- nied it, and demanded proof of the asser- tion. The proof was brought sooner than was expected. The newspaper is the VVecker, a German paper. 111"‘ the 2000 voters are Germans, who, as the Editor of the \Vecker says, are all Re- publicans. The Philadelphia Times, ‘a neutral and very cautious paper, esti- mates the loss to the Buchanan party in Pennsylvania, by the German defectioii, at not less than six thousand votes. The saute paper states that the Germans of Texas and Missouri will no? support Buchanan.

The observtiiicr=s due the "glorious Fourth” are in active preparation. Mad cap urchins scent the day afar off, and dash about the’ streets in noisy‘ excito- merit, and lie down and dream of Chi- nese crackers, whose stinging eaplosions are evetigow begun, and men, » “child- ren of ai larger growth, lay in the 919. ments of a bigger noise. What, a pity some substitute conldn"t be found for gunpowder, in our modest annual self gratulation. But we can now pat our rising na. tional pride on the back, and rub it up to anamazing strut over the fact that Great Britaii, too wise to go into a fool. ish war, will not send home Mr. Dallas, nor in any way resent Crampton’s dis- missal. I Indeed, we have enough to do at home it would seem. If the report of the Congressional Committee on the Kansas Election is to be relied op, men of_all parties and no party at all, both North and South, should be filled with alarm at the awful corruption possible in spite of the boasted purity of our method of self.go,,,,,.,,mem_ Add 10 this, accounts of the election frauds in Califortiia, where boxes can- trived with false bqttoms are used to conceal illegal votes, and we have enough to make the coming anmye,-3,,-y a day of sadness and mourning. Does the farmer when he bi-‘ a ‘ flocks and herds nursed so terjll::ly,hrlS he trans-substantiated into the flesh and blood of City-folk, know how much suf- fering tlie poor brutes must undergo, before they smoke on the table. I hope 00‘. I01‘ 59 would go mad, and his kind- hearted wife sicken to see his beeves chased through thejstreets, grilled with goads, bleeding from whip cuts, bruised with clubs-his calves-so sleek, tied neck and heels, bundled iujcarts layer upon layer, than pounded furiously over the pavement, with eyes and tongue protruding, to be dumped at the sham. bles by dropping them from the cart upon the curbstone, and finally hung headless in the butcher stalls before their nerves had fairly done quiverino-. The clergy ought to take it up, and the tract society offer a prize for the best es- say on the sin of "cruelty to animals.” Wliata satisfaction would such be- nevolent action afford to the huge itur- . tle, who has lain on his back for three days before the eating house opposite, bearing in grim facetiousngss upon his white shell belly the inscription in black letters, "I shall be served up in steaks and soup next Tuesday noon.” I What a reminder of the passing away nature of things, and the certainty of death is conveyed thereby. Inspecting the dressing of some Terrapins one day, -3 I asked the operator, a dull German fellow wliolknew our language but poor- ly, how he got their heads out of shell to cut them off. “Oh,” said he, “you shall see me to coax him out_”' ‘With that seizing a sharp iron, lie thrust it sharply into the withdrawn head of the nearest, one, pried it forth, and on the instant daxterously severed the neck with a knife. A more laughable mis- application of the word “coax,” one does not often meet. NORWALK. Deaths of Casey, Cora and Yankee Sullivan. Patent Ballot-Box. I/Ve have the details of the execution of Casey and Cora, at San Francisco.- Casey, who shot Mr. King, it will be remembered died protesting against the act being called a murder. Said he : ‘ Gentlemen, I am no murderer. My faults are because of my early education. VVhere I belonged I was taught to fight, and that to resent my own wrong was my province. If you see a funeral train tomorrow let no one dare to‘ say that there goes the body ofa murderer. This I have done: I have always resented wrong, and I have done it now. I have an aged mother. Let her not hear me called a murderer or an assassin. Oh! my poor mother, my poor mother ; how her heart will bleed at this news. It is her pain I feel now. This will wring her heart, but she will not believe I am. a murderer I but resent an injury, my poor rn.othe»r, Oh, my mother. God bless you. ‘ “ Gentleman, I pardon you, as I hope God will forgive you, as I hope he will forgive mc.—Amen !—Oh ! my poor mother! Oh God have mercy upon me. My Jesus take care of me. Oh God, with accumulated guilt of 28 or 30 years have mercy upon nie——my poor mother. At the conclusion of these remarks he seemed to grow weak, and was unable to stand without support from those standing by him. Father Gallagher was standing by his side as his spiritual ad- viser, and constantly telling him to stop speaking and pray. He also offered him the cross, which he kissed several times. When the noose was placed around his neck, he was deeply affected and nearly fainted away, and would :have fallen off ffom the scaffold but for those who sup- ported him. Cora did not say a word. or desire to. He stood upon the scaffold during Casey's speech perfectly "-unmoved, and when the rope was put around his neck he was as tiiiconcerned as before. He also pressed the cross to his lips often during his last moments. A patent ballot-box has been discov- er by the vigilance coinmittte, and is now in their possession, with two dis- tinct secret cavities; pressiig a certain slide would throw into the box a ma- jority for one,party, and pressing another slide, would release votes enough to elect another man. The game was to elect the man who paid best, or when the-gablers chose. This box was all perfectly fair, except on very minute ex- amination. Poor Yankee Sullivan, seems to have committed suicide be- cause the world was exhausted, and there was no country or island where he would have been safe from the vengeance of those whose secrets he had betrayed. He fered his old associates too much to live, With 3 common table knife, of German silver, quite dull, he cut his left arm to the bone, severed two arteries and bled to death in his cell. _ __.—————-m—''''‘ . 3:?
