The True Ime.
In order that men may vote undcr
■tandingly, it becomes indispensable that
they should ho conversant with, and
fully comprehend the real issue, involved
in the canvass, ns promulgated by those
organs that speak with authority, being
the mouth-pieces of the Buchanan party.
It will not be safe for the freemen of
Maine to rely solely upon those organs
in this Stat; that support Buck & Brcck,
for this information, for they studiously
conceal and suppress the only real na
tional issue, and substitute the State
issues of former years therefor. Those
journals have neither the political hon
esty nor the moral courage to submit the
only true and real question, stripped of
all disguise, which is involved in the ap
proaching election, for the suffrages of
the electors of the Pine Tree State.
Let men beware of the frauds they
arc endeavoring to palm off upon the
unsuspecting and unwary. Voters of
Maine ! be not deceived in this canvass;
for the question is, whether freedom or
slavery shall be inscribed upon our na
tional escutcheon.
Democrats of the North ! listen to
what those claiming to be Democrats of
the South deilaic the issue to be. The
following extract is copied from the
Richmond (Va.,) Enquirer, the leading
Democratic organ of the South, and no
Burhanan paper of the North deny its
authority to speak for that party. It is
1)11(11 III.Ill •’ IIUUIIM. UI^DII 111 *i(^llll<l. -
iSuch is the legitimate fruit of the Cin
cinnati Platform, which speaks for Mr.
Buchanan. But to the extract:
THE DEMOCRATS of tin* Smith, in the
pending cnjivaas, cannot rely on the old
grounds of apdogy and excuse for Slavery ;
for they seek not in *rely t > retain it win-re it
is. hut* TO EXTEND IT INTO KEOIONS
WHERE IT IS rNKNOWN.
• We propose to introduce into new terri
tory in man beings whom wo assert to i»o (Ill
Jit for Liberty. • We must go a step fur
thed : we must show that African Slavery
15 a moral, religious, natural, and probably in
the general, a necessary Institution of Socie
ty. • We know we utter hold 'FRI THS,
but the time has arrived when their utterance
can no longer In* suppressed. The TRI E
ISSl ’E should stand out in hold relief, so that
none may mistake it.”
The venerable Josiah Quincy, Son.,
now at the advanced age of eighty-five,
though still in the rigor of his strong
intellectual powers delivered an address
to the inhabitants r.f the town of Quin
cy on the 5th of June last, in which he
used the following language in regard to
the manners anil morals of Southern
members of Congress : —
“Several years ago, John Quincy Ad
ams said to me, 4 Insuit, bullying, ami
threat characterize the tlaveholders in
Congress; talk, timidity, and submiss
ion the Representatives from the Free
States.’ W hat Adams calls 4 timidity '
in them, for the reasons above stated,for
the most part unavoidable. Men edu
cated under moral, religious, and refined
influences, meet in Congress a class of
men, of which, at home, they know
nothing, and would not willingly meet
anywhere; with many of whom, every
second word is an oath ; and who are
always ready, with a pistol, or offer a
duel, to support what they call their ar
guments. This class was always in Con
gress. Formerly they were only a part
of the slaveholders in the two branches ;
now they probably constitute a majority.
These men are always ready to insult,
threaten, and bully any member of Con
gress from the free states who dares to
retort their oblujuy; wh.eh, if he does,
a duel is thrust into his face, as was re
cently into Mr. Wilson’s, and which lie
so honorably repelled, in the temper ami
demeanor of a mild, firm spirit of civil
ized chivalry.”
Fuller Voting again with the Slave
holders.
On morula* last. Mr. Purvaince asked
for m su>pension of the rules to enable
him to introduce a resolution instructing
the Judiciary Committee to report by
what authority the recent arrest* in Kan
sas have been made, together with the
offences with which they stand charged.
The motion failed—IOC to 74—two thirds
being necessary.
And Thomas J. T). Fuller voted XO,
being almost alone with the slave-hold
ers—against even an inquiry into the
reasons why free citizens of Xew England
and of Maine are at this moment under
arrest and imprisonment in Kansas.
Pbektice os Mb. Bbooks. —The
Louisville Journal thus speaks of the ex
cuse Mr. Brooks gave for not fighting
Mr. Burlingame :
Mr. Brooks, howefer objects, it seems,
to travelling through New Jersey and
Xew York to get to Canada, lie thinks
ho would have to run the gaunlet of
mobs and assassins, lie is afraid !—
* Yes, the grim fire-eater, who boasts that
with one blow he could inaugurate rev
olutions, and destroy the Union, is afraid
to travel through Now Jersey and Xew
York. We rather wonder that he does
'■ not found his objection upon the inse
curity of the railroads, for we really
think there would be more chances of
his losing his life by a railroad accident
than by the hand of assassins. He cer
tainly backs out from a fight. He runs.
And herein is an instructive moral.—
There are "books in the running Brooke."
SbcosdUonobessional Distbxct.—
At the Republican Convention held or
Tuesday at Auburn, Charles J. Oilman
of Brunswick, was unanimously nomina
ted as a candidate for Congress, in the
place of Hon. John J. Perry, who declin
ed being a candidate. The couvention
was larg: and very enthusiastic.
Me. Bublixoame at Dvytox.—The
Ohio State Journal has the following in
regard to the reception of Mr. Burlin
game by the Buckeyes :
Mr. Burlingame arose and presen'e l
himself to the “sea of upturned faces,"
and such a reception as he obtained, few
men have ever received. Cheer after
cheer ascended to the skies, which came
fresh and warm from thousands of good
and true hearts. At length order being
restored, Mr. Burlingame began his
speech. After speaking fifteen minutes,
the crowd pressed so hard, and the utter
impossibility of any thing like a half be
ing able, either to hear or to see, an ad
journment to Clegg’s Hall, near by, was
demanded and carried. The rush for the
Hall was immense, and the doors were
hardly opened five minutes before it
was crammed and jammed in every nook
and corner. There was not a square
foot left vacant. Here lie was greeted
with the same rapturous applause. Af
ter speakiugin a most eloquent and con
vincing manner for about half an hour,
the crowd on the outside, which number
ed several thousand, demanded that he
should show himself at the window.—
They wanted to sec him, if they could
not hear him. After a brief delay, Mr.
Burlingame appeared at the window. No
sooner was he observed that cheer after
cheer was sent up that made the welkin
ring again. He again began his speech,
and had not spoken more than an hour
before the pressure outside demanded an
adjournment to the open space in front
mu j. uiiijis iiwu.u, at. wiiiuu jnai u n
was said that ten thousand men were
waiting in the wet streets to see and hear
him. The demand could not be denied,
and another adjournment was carried to
the place named. We shall not under
take to describe the enthusiasm of this,
his third reception. The men shouted,
the women waved their handkerchiefs
and all were wild with enthusiasm andi
delight. Here he was permitted to fin-1,
ish his well-timed, eloquent and most
acceptable speech. Never was there a ]
greater triumph of manhood and elo-j
qucuco. He spoke in the open air about ]
an hour, when he withdrew to a room
in the hotel, where he stayed over an
hour, and was visited by hundreds of
good and true men, who desired to shake
the hand of a good and true man.
The following items of the elections

Fui.most Victory. [Special des
patch to ihe New York Tribune.] New
Ijonttnn, Ct , Aug. J. Our charter elec
tion came off to-day, and a very large
vote was polled. Mr. A. C. Lippctt, the
Buchanan Democratic nominee for May
or, was defeated by Mr. J. N. Harris, the
Fremont and Freedom candidate, by
a very large majority. The Fremonters
are tiring a hundred guns this evening
iu honor of their victory.
Tiie Boston l’ost announces the re
ceipt of a letter from Poweshiek county,
Iowa, which says ; —
“ Abolitionism is at so low an ebb in
this county; and there is so little political
excitement, that there is nothing to Kick
against.”
The Worcester Spy replies to this as
follows : —
•'According to I.ippincott's Gazetter.
published in 1855, the population of
Poweshiek county, at that time, was six
hundred and fifteen, and these were dis
tributed over an area of five hundred and
sc -enty-six square miles. \\ itlx a pop
ulation of about one person to a square
mile, it is not surprising that there is
but ' little political excitement,' ami that
• there is nothing to kick against '—ex
I cept the ground ! Do try again Mr.
Post,”
Shameful
That tool used again by the Slaveo
cracy. Mr. J- D. Fuller of this Dis
trict, true to his alliance with Douglass,
Atchison String fellow ACo. Toted against
the resolution, which declared that \\ hit
field wag not entitled to a scat as dele
gate from Kansas. Yet the resolution
was a«lopted by yeas 110, nays 82.
He also voted against Gov. lteedcr
being admitted as delegate from that
territory. So Kansas is not represented
in Congress by any one who claims to be
a resident of that territory.
Hancock, Aug. 7, 1856.
Mr. Sawyer—At a meeting of the
Republicans of Hancock, the following
delegates were chosen to attend the
County Convention to be held in Ells
worth on the 20th inst. John Stratton,
O. W. Young, and Jeremiah Wooster.
Substitutes were chosen to fill vacancies.
O. W. Young, Sec y.
In the town of Paris, Ky., there are
four Fremont clubs. Pretty well for a
slave state. There will be a large Fre
mont vote there, but Fillmore will prob
ably carry the state. Buchanan’s elec
tion by the people is given up by many
of his friends. _
An Important Point —If Mr. Breeken
ridge is under 35 yeurs of age, as he is repre
sented in the papers, lie cannot be \ ice Presi
dent, even if elected ; for ho is constitution
ally ineligible. Both President and Vice
President must be 35 year* old.
| Brutal Murder—A Methodist
Preacher Lynched. Mr. Isaac It Fay late
Rochester. Missouri, now of Elgin, Illi
nois, gives an account of an outrage per
petrated by his recent neighbors. A slave
had run away, but being recaptured, ac
cused one Sillers, a Northern Methodist
Minister, of having advised and assisted
him. The pro-slavery men at once met,
and resolved that Sillers should not
preach again. He consented to leave
town, but returned by advice of an old
and much respected class-leader, who
undertook to procure him a hearing.
On their arrival, while in a store in
Rochester, the mob entered and were
forcing Mr. Sillers outof the store, when
his friend made an effort to reason with
them, but had scarcely commenced when
he was shot through the neck am) died
instantly. The mob then took Sillers,
tarred his head, put him on a horse, and
threatened to kill him if he didn't leave
the State or stop preaching. Sillers sajs
he has done nothing to deserve such
treatment, and shall preach there as long
as his life is spared. In consequence of
outrages like the above Mr. Fay left, un
willing to live in such a State.
Singular Coincident. We visited
a few days since, a spot rendered some
what memorable as having been the
SCCne of fiuol liotwnon turn of K«n. !
tucky’s chivalrous sons. The position
of the duelists, about eighteen paces, I
was marked by two trees, one of which
bears the initials of one of party's name
cut into the bark, the other he irs only
the initial of the last name of the other
party. The tree under which the party
stood who was killed is dead, having, as
we are credibly informed, gradually de
cayed from that time. The other tree is
singularly typical of the condition of the
surviving party, who is now an inmate
of a lunatic asylum, standing as it does,
with the lower branchs full of life and
verdure, while its top is dead and leaf
less.— Gcoryetuwn (It. C. ) Journal.
Seeing the Elephant. Last Thurs
day evening a stranger called at the 1st
Police Sration, and deposited his watch
and most of his money, saying that he
wished them taken care of while he went
into North street and vicinity for the
purpose ofseeing the sights, &c. The
man left, and nothing more was known
of him until yesterday, when he called
at the Station House and withdrew his i
watch and funds. He states that he has
been drunk—been shook down—been
knocked down—been in the lock-up—
been among the animals, and seen the
elephant—all for seven dollars. He also
states that he had “a glorious time,’’ and
is now bound for home. As might reas
onably be expected, he was a degraded
specimen of humanity, and he illustrates
how low a man can sink when he loses
his self-respect.—Huston Journal.
The Louisville Journal continues its i
list of prominent members of the Dem
ocratic party who have gone over to the '
Republicans, and accompanies the record
with the following characteristic com
ments : —
“This stampede of the Northern De- ;
mocracy continues unabated The ex- |
tent of the defection from the bachelor j
of Wheatland, in favor of the owner of
Mariposa, is astounding even to those
who have long been apprised of the free
soil predilections of the Sort hern faction
oj the Democratic party."
Shannon Removed. John W. Geary
of Penn, has been appointed Governor
of Kansas, in place of .Shannon, removed.
lie was colonel of Pennsylvania regiment
in Mexico, and aft a wards, under Polk,
postmaater of San Francisco, afterwards
Judge or Alcalde, and finally the first
mayor of the city- He is -10 years old,
and is represented by his friends as ad
mirably qualified for the place. Wheth
er this means devotion to slavery remains
to be seen.
The Massachusetts State Council of
the American party, held at Fitchburg,
■1th, endorsed the nominations of Fre
mont and Johnson by 89 to 52. A c om
municaliou was then read from one E. 15.
15artlett, calling himself President of the
National Council, dissolving the State
Council.
Brooks and Keitt Re-elected. As was
expected, the constituents of Brooksund Kcitt
liuve re-elected them us their representatives
in Congress by u unuuimous vote, thus ex
pressing their approval of the cowardly, us
sasein-like act of which they were guilty.—
This endorsement of their constituents docs
not alter the record that they have liotli been
censured by their peers. That stigma still
rist* on them and will follow them to their
graves.—Boston Journal.
Unanimity of Opinion.
“The ‘SOUTH WILL NOT SUBMIT FOR
A MOMENT’ to the election of Fremont and
i)ay ton. ’ ’—Millard Fillmore's Albany speech.
“The ‘people of fifteen sovereign States
WILL NEVER PASSIVELY SUBMIT, if
the strength of the fusionists in the lower
House of Congress liecomes augmented by
Presidential power.’ ”—Preston S. Brooks.
The following remarkable coincident
took place in 8t. Francis County, Ark.,
a short time ago : “A one-eyed man
stole a one-eyed mule, was arrested by a
one-eyed sheriff, and tried before a one
eyed officer.”
From Kansas. Advices from Leav
enworth to the 30th ult., state that Gen.
Lane and comjtany had not then entered
the Territory of Kansas, and General
Smith had threatened that if they attemp
ted to enter, he should proclaim mar
tial law. The territorial authorities
were commencing to levey taxes. Trou
ble was apprehended, as both parties re
fuse to pay.
Shocking Affray. A melee occur
red at a lager bier house on the 7th ave
nue, New York, on Sunday night.—
Philip Unridge drew a razor from hit
pocket and cut a gash of three inches or
the throat of John Maddon, which laid
hare the windpipe and jugular vein, but
will not probably prove fatal. George
Bender, in trying to save Maddon, had
three of his fingers cut off. Another
man was slightly wounded, and Unrid-'o
himself was cut on the arm.
Tub Union Question.—“Elect our
candidate,” cry the Buchanan men, “or
we will dissolve the Union.” “Elect
me,” says Mr. Fillmore,” or the South
won't submit, and will dissolve the
Union.” “Whether Col. Fremont is
elected or not,” says the Republicans,
“this Union must and shall be pre
served !”
The Louisville Courier says the wife
of a well known drayman in Covington
died one day last week. The next day
the bereaved man married a new wife
and took her with him th the dead wife's
funeral.
Greenville Flint, u merchant of Newport,
Me., drowned himself in Newport pond on
Thursday last. He was -1(‘> years of age and
leaves a wife and four children. Mr. Flint’s
!>od_v has been recovered. The leg* were pin
ioned at the knees, and hi* hand* tied togeth
er and attached to a stone weighing about
seventy-five pounds.
It is Haul by the Newark Mercury, the rea
son why Mr. Brooks did not go to Canada,
was not that the distance there was too long,
hut that after he got there the distance be
tween him and Mr. Burlingame would lie too
short.
Some persons engaged in spearing fish in
the creek in Fulton, N. Y., discovered a por
tion of the watches and jewelry lost by a ped
lar named Stein, in May 1854. Ten gold and
silver watches, and a number of chains, were
found. The property lost was valued at
$3500.
A hundn*d and fifty swindlers have been
caught at the Aster House New York alone,
by one of the waiters, within six months last

HOLLOWAY’S PILLS
WHY AKE WE SICK!
It has been the lot of the human race to be weighed'
down by disease nrwl suffering. Holloway's Pills are'
specially adapted to the relief of the weak, the nerec tur

on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the
«kin, and the bowels, correcting any derangement in their

Nearly half the human race have tak'eti the«i J*fllsr.—
It has been proved in all parts of llw; world. Ihftt. nothing
has been found equal to liiein in cases of disorders of the
liver, dyspepsia, ft I id stomach cntnptiihta geneftil'y
They soon give a health*/ tone to these organs, hnwfievfer
much deranged, and when all other ineuns have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY, ILL HF.AI.TIT
Many of the moat, despotic Government have opened
their Custom flenses to the introduction of these Pill
that they may become the medicine uf the masses:
learned Colleges admit that this medicine is the be id
remedy evar known for persons of delicate health, or
properties never fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS
No female, young or old, should lie without t eel®
brated medecine. It corrects and regulates I he «<• nthly
courses a' all periods, acting in many cases like * charm
It is also tha liest and safest medicine that can e given
to children of ail ages, and for any cempla-n ; cons®
quently no faintly should be without if.

For Coughs, Colds. Asthma, Incipient Consumption,
lnfinema, Difficult/ of Breathing, Q-c. £*., so er
tensively employed and so highly np/nieintai
in Bur opt, is now for the first. time intro
duced into this country,
In introducing a New Medicines where Patent Merf
icincs are already so abundant, a wotd of explanation
may be deemed uecesary necessary ; the Proprieter
wishes to state then, that about ,/ourteeii years ago,
while conducting an apothecery establishment in one of
the large manufacturing towns ©/England, convinced by
personal experience and extensiva observation of the ex
traordinary efficacy of the various vegetable preparation#
of witch thsr European Cough Remedy is composed,
specially in disorders of the chest and lung*. He pie
Dared the above named inedteire and sold it at first «•
ablishment and as he be cams more extensively known
by meanes of agents in various parts of the country, the
results equalled tors most sanguine expectations; hundred
of bottles were speedily sold and most extraordinary
cures effected, some who after suffering/rom the most
distressing Coughs for months, and some even tor year#
and w hose cares cases where considered almost hopeless
1 by their friends ami medical advisers, were speedily
Restored to Health by the use erf this Valuable Jlewedy
i Several years ago the Proprietor withdrew entirety
from business and devoteu himself to the Christian
; Ministry, and when in the spring of 1351, he arrived in
. this country, and when in the order of Divine Prori
deuce he was called.to occupy hia present position of
1 pastor of a Church r nd Congregation in rornishville,
- he had m* intention of calling the attention of the pub
. lie to this Medicine, but during the early part of win
. ter, he found that severalof bis friends were afRIcted#
w ith severe disorder of the Pulmonary organs, aocoai
panied by an obstinate and distressing cough which n#«
i vielilme to lh«* rionmlfpo l>* nn,«iial wuJ

' every case a speedy curt was ih# result, and as a mat
i ler of course those who had been thus hero-tiled recom
mended it to their friends ; a demand being thus erewtet)
ihe proprietor thought it his duty to make arrancament
' for »o|»plyine it, and that those at a distance may he
s »hle to avail themselves of its use, Agents are appointed
i in every part of the country for Its sale and considering
the numerous cures which have been effected liy t i a
ler many of our nmut popular medicines hod been tried
in vain, it is believs the European Cough Remedy ie
the moat speedy, safe, and efficacious Remedy for Cough
