This is the grand scheme which seeks to
do what " border ruffianism" has failed
to accomplish.
The leaders of the Democratic party
see a storm gathering in the political ho
rizon, and they find it necessary to devise
some means to appease the wrath of an
indignant people, else their party will be
swallowed up in the nitelstroni of politics
which they have themselves created, and

that ullthe acts which have been charged

A Violent Storm. A violent hail

on Sunday the 6th inst., doing much
damage. It commenced in the western
part of town, following the valley to with

breaking windows, destroying whole fields
of corn, and much injuring the rye aud

inches in circumference, and on Monday

seen measuring from three to five bushels

A e i.ow a.?k, was there ever a more
ingenious aud rascally attempt than this
tofaUen slavery upon a people? Is it
not a cunning trick?
This bill has passed the Senate, and
upon the face of it looks fair as need be.
But our readers will bear in mind that a
large number of the free state men have
been driven from the territory by Col.
Sumner' command, who is acting under
direction of the President ; the Chicago
company and other bodies of emigrants
linve been robbed and compelled to turn
Lack home, which leaves the slave state
party in the ascendant in Kausas, and as
bee state people ore to be kept out, the
minority of actual residents now there
being pro-slavery, will choose a pro-blave-ry

the 11th inst.. and nominated Homer E.
Royce as candidate for Congress, and
I Portus Baxter for Presidential Elector.
The annual meeting of the Abolition
ists of Orleans County stands adjourned
to meet at Barton on the first Tuesday in
August, at 10 A. M.
That the object of this meeting may be
understood, it may be necessary to state
that the position we assume and by which
we are distinguished as a party, is that
slavery everywhere is unconstitutional,
as much so in one place as another, con
sequently that the general government is
invested with authority to abolish it, and
in duty bound so to do, not only in the
district of Columbia and the territories,
but also in each aud every state in the
Union. But notwithstanding this, a di
position prevails to some extent to con
centrate if possible the anti-slavery ele-
men& of every grade, so as to bring
them to bear on the Presidential election
and thereby break down the slave power
iu the nation ; and it has been thought
that the nomination of Messrs. Fremont
aud Dayton by the Republicans opened
the way for such an event. But it is
also thought that the subsequent nomina
tion by the Americans of Fremont and
Johnson, was directly calculated to defeat
such a movement, inasmuch as knot only
arrayed .Johnson against Dayton, but also
t reniont against himself, the votes cast
for Fremont and Johnson not being avail
able to elect him in connection with Day
ton. If in this State C0,000 votes should
be cast. 20,000 for Fremont and Dayton,
ton ir remont and Johnson, Bu
chanan and Breckenridge havin 20 001
get the electoral vote of the state,'and it
is the sama in every state in the Union,
In Vw of these circumstances, the
convention at Albany saw fit td postpone
all action in relation to the matter, until
they should meet at Barton, when it is
expected that the question whether we
shall or shall not have a separate organi
zation in the coming election will be duly
considered and acted upon.
All who are interested are therefore
most respectfully invited to attend.

1 00 Sir, the next contest will be & mo-

2 00 tjon 0f slavery, and the constitutional
1 00 rights of the South. The South should
. . ...
establish in the platform, the principle,
2 00 that the right of a Southern man to his
1 00 slave is equal, in its length and breadth,
2 00 to the right of a Northern man to his
1 00 horse. She should make the recognition
