COL. WILLIAMs' SPEEC--The Kansas Bill.
-On our first page will be found the speech
of Col. J. S. WILLIAMs, delivered in East
Baton Rouge on Saturday night last, which
we copy from the Gazette. It is one of the
ablest and clearest expositions of the Kansas
Nebraska act we have yet seen. The per
nicious doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty,
which :a the prominent feature of the meas
ure, is held up to view. and it is shown that
the whG a Democratic party Noith, is fully
committed to this dangerous policy. We ask
for the speech, an attentive perusal. The ar
guments are uncontrovertable.
81+TH DISTRICT COURT.-This Court con
vened on Monday 6th inst., with a larger
docket than has been known in this parish
for some time. Nearly one hundred and
twenty cases. Of this number, judgments
have been rendered in fifty-six and the bal
lance laid over until next term. But two
cases were brought before the Grand Jury
one for assault and battery, and the other for
selling liquor to slaves. His honor at the
opening oS Court, congratulated the people
of our parish upon the scarcity. of criminal
subjects, and paid no small compliment to
our law abiding citizens. His honor was mn
usually prolific upon this subject. During
this term the following persons were natural:
ized from the perish of East Baton Rouge:
Paul Sarrabayrouse, Michael Ostersetzer,
Bartelemy Weissen, Nicholas Fousie, and
John Nolot, and of this parish, A uguste Retz
aer, Alfred Gwynn, Narcisse Lambert and
Patrick Kavanagh, were also made good citi
zeas. One applicant for naturalization was
rejected on the ground of having been con
victed of selling liqnoi to slaves.
His Honor adjourned Court on Thursday
evening last.
IrPOlTANT' POLITICAL MOVEMuT.--We
are informed, says the New York Comrnerciat
.&duertier, that during the past few days fre
quent conferences of the National Union men
from every State in the Confederacy, have
been held in that city, the result of which is,
that a rceat Union movement-a movement
calculated to crush out the spirit of disunion
now so extensively rampant-has been pro.
jected. The loyal men, the true patriots of
the land, are to be brought and bo.jd togeth.
er anew. Delegations of citizens from every.
State are to be invited to visit the tomb of
the Hermitage, Ashland, Marshfield, Monti
cello, Mount Vernon, and the prominent bat
tle fields, whereon, for the sake ofthis Union,
was commingled, without distinction, the
blood of Northern, Southern, Eastern an4
Western patriots-there to meet conservative
Union-loving masses of the people, for fra.
terization, for counsel, and for invocation, in
the present crisis, of the patriotism of the
hole ountry, and on behalf of the Conasti.
tution and tqe Union. The project is regar.
ded as the harbinger of peace and good will
the troubled, nation.
A Bsrrmt PsIL.--A Democratic Fremont
SClubhas been formed at Concord, New Hamp.
shiAle,the rsjidence of Gen. Pierce. composed
ef eover one hundred members. every one of
whom voted for Pierce in 1852. The call
was signed by one hundred and fiy, all
.jcmrvm.
The Recent Electau.
The returns of the late elections areqson
fused that it is almost impossible to "erm f,
any idea as to the true results. All sorts of i
despatches have been received from Penn- y
sylvahia,and the spiritsf the Democsrabhave
'been alternately elevated sad depressed. The ;i
latest returns show that the victory was u
claimed by both Unionists and Democrats. .6
The true figures will not be kno*n until the ai
official returns are given. ti
The Black Republicans have swept Ohio ti
by a majority of from twenty-five to thirty
five thousand. p,
In Indiana,the race for Governor, the can- u
didates being Willard, (Dem.) and Morton, if
people's caudiate, is a close one. At lest of
accounts, Willard was ahead, but it was ci
claimed that the returns from the Northern ti
part of the State. would overcome the major- F
tSy. R
Complete returns from Florida have not
yet been received,although the election took N
place on the 6th. The Democrats had all
confidence in carrying this State. but it is
believed that Walker, (Am.) is elected, over
Perry,(Dem.) The contest was very close.
The election in Delaware, which was put
forth as a Democratic triumph, was for noth- Ic
ing but Inspectors o: the November election. h
The result of the town elections in Con
necticut is favorable to the Black Republi- tt
cans.
The Democrats claim a considerable ma
jority of the Congressmen in Pennsylvania,
and alse' six out of the eleven members in
Indiana.
Fr.FE.IONT AND B1,cuAHA..-Some few sup
porters ot Fillmore in the South having been
heard, in moments of excitement, to say that
they had as soon vote for Fremot as for
Buchanan. the Sag-Nichts raise a great howl
orerethe matter, as if it were an unpardonable.
s. mortal crime ; and yet, these same 'hallow
ed" defenders of Southern rights and hollow
hearted haters of the Union, have no woa
of condemnation for their own bitter breth
ren who say every day, and everywhere in
the South, that they had rather see Fremort
rt elected than Fillmore ! Even Gov. Mat
thews, of Miss., is reported to have uttered
this sentiment in a public speech. The Fred
ericksburg Recorder, one of the most ultra
Democratic papers in Virginia, recently de
clared:
"Were we compelled to choose between
Seward and Fillmore for President. re shonld
not hesitate a moment to prefer theformer."
The following, from the North Alabama
Register, the Democratic organ of that be.
nighted legion, is but an expression of what
t ninety-nine hundredths of the Southern Sag
Nicht organs would say, if they did not deem
it politic not to be too out-spoken upon cer
tain points:
" The whole Whig party in the North was
just as much freesoiled as Martin Van Buren
or Prince John; and we emphatically assert
that Martin Van Buren and his son John al
ways have been and are now sounder upon
all constitutional questions (the subject of i
slavery included) than Millard Fillmore, aInd
we had rather support either of them for
President than to support Fillmore."
The Atlanta (Ga.,) lntelligencer-a leading
Buchanan paper in that State-grows still
bolder. Hear it:
"For our part we do not scruple to say it,
that we would sooner see Fremont. traitor as
he is to the home of his birth, the President
of the United States than 31r. Fillmore, who
never ceased to hate and persecute tie South.
until the South had bought him oft with the
Vice Presidency.:, (!!)
REaMEMBER IT!-We subioin an extract
from an article in the Camden Democrat,
published at Camden, New Jersey. Remem
ber it, you who have been asserting that Mr. I
Fillmore is not the National Candidate ! Re- I
member it, you who have traduced him as t
an Abolitionist! Remember it, you who
have asserted that Mr. Fillmore degraded a
himself when he accepted the nomination of d
the American party! The Camden Demo- .
crat is a Buchanan paper. Here is the ex.
tract:
"The people of West Jersey who are not
leagued with the Disunion dbfoltionists,should

Pao-SLAVEar DouGLAs.-The Philadel- 1
phia North dmerican has the following. T
Wbethet Douglas did say what "a Democrat- ir
ic paper" reports him to have said, or not, F
we have no doubt that such are his senti- s
ments: . .
Senator Douglas is stumping the West for "
Buchanan, and in his speech claims to be an
anti-Slavery man. In one of these deliver- F
ed at Galena, he is reported by a Democratic h
paper to have said: h
'They call me a pro-slavery msp. But I
am like you, opposed to slavery, and rejoice
in the policy which has made the slavehold
ing States of seventy years ago, free States at o
this time. I am proud that my adopted f
State of Illinois is a free State. and will re
main so. All Northern Democrats are op' ti
posed to slavery."
"All Northern Democrats ale opposed to
slavery !" And this is the Northern man A
with Southern feelings, talking in this way. sr

Draaa PLATER :--Presuming that a few lines
from this" big villagS" many be of some s
terest to your readers, I, pen in hand, have at
you. Cotton is firm, and your planting friends,
.-if they make any--will assuredly line their
poekets at present prices. Fillmotrestock is
up, and rising daily. You may safely bet on
fifteen hundred-take odds on two thousand,
and hope wtth no slight probability fot three
thousand, for the " Pride of the Nation,' in
the city of New Orleans. How the State
will go, I do not pletend to syy. Being no
politician, I cannot ~venture to predict on such
uncertain grounds as a general election, but
if reliable men can be politically depended up
on when they politically depict the workings
of the Union Fillmore sentiments throughout
the State, I would say Lousiana was safe for
Fillmore. The accounts of the great Baton
Rouge demonstration is enough to rivet my
convictions that the Florida parishes are safe.
Waro your readers against election frauds.
Yours,
VIADOR.
T*ArT Co'rros-Wloon PoLs!-Some time
si:i:e, the little squad of "' irrevocably lost"'
locoiocos in our garish. got a kink in their
:heads that somethrng must be done to stir up
the fast expiring 'flame of Buchananism in
their midst, and so concluded to hoist a pole
at Brulv Landing. measuring the enormous
length of nl.ety feet ! They put at us--with
out the State hands, however-and on the
top was placed a pair of buck's horns, which
seemed acs uch out of p'ace as " Old
Buck" will be after the 4th of Novem
ber Great were tise demonstrations of en
thusiam of our Bru:l friends upon-the erec
tion of that pole, . eas ! Juitlate was sing on
the occasion. But gre.ter still was their
astonishment some two weeks since, when
they discovered floating in the norning
breeze at the top of a pole ninety-sir feet in
height. the flag of out glorious Union, with
the names of Fillmore and Donelson inscri
bed upon its folds.

Union-loving Fillmore. The stick is a true
Southern stick-made of cotton.wood-and
towers majestically oier its somewhat short

beat when they attempt anything, but we
rather think the Col took them that time.
GaoczaREs, &c -We with pleasure point
our readers to the advertisements of Messrs
BAaKPs & BENJAMIN, (successors S. M. HarT
& Co.) who now offer to the trade of Baton
Rouge and vicinity, a complete assortment of
Groceries, Wines, Liquors, &c. They are
constantly receiviug additions to their stock.
and we need hardly say that they have in
store at all times, everything the most fasti
dious housekeeper could desire. They oiler
at the same time superior inducements to
others in the trade. An idea of the business
transacted by this house may be drawn by
inspecting their warehouses at the foot of
of Laurel street.

GERRIT SMITH ON MR FILLMORE.-Ger
rit Smith that vile New York abolitionist,
has recently written a letter upon the sub
ject of the Presidential election. We append
a short extract to show how much Mr. Fill- I
more has been slandered by Southern Buch
anan men, in stating that abolitionists would i
vote for Mr. Fillmore.
But the true question is not, what is past i
of Mr. Fillmore and Col. Fremont on Slave- 1
ry, but what is their present on the subject.
And here we find that, whi.st Col. Fremont
has overgrown his pro-slavery education. I
Mr. Fillmore HAS A POST .TISED FROM
HIS ANTI-SLAVERY EDUCATION!
That while Col. Frernsnt is boldly ascend
ing the anti-slavery ladder, and may, ere
long, reach the abolition or top round, Mr.
Fitimore has descended it, and found his home
oi d hopes among pre-slavery companions and
pro-slavery interests. Col Fremont could
not travel through the South without being
murdered for anti-slavery. And were Mr. i
Fillmore to repeat his Southern visit, he
would be-as much carressed and feasted for
his pro-slavery as he was in his former visit.
Every free State-man in Kansas would re
joice in Col. Fremont's election. Every
Border ruiian would rejoice in Mr. Fillm
ore's. 07,Nota single Ebolitioniat will vote
for Mr. Fillmore!..( Ninety-nine in a hun
dred of them will vote for Col. Freemont I
and even the hundredth will prefer his elec
tion to that of Buchanan or Fillmore.
In another part of his letter, Smith calls
Mr. Fillmore * the guiltiest of all the guilty
servants of the slave power." Will the dem
ocratic orators in the South who unblushing
ly denounce Mr. Fillmore as an abolitionist,
read the above. Will theDemocratic papers
dare publish it?

is a single Fremont Club in Milwaukie which
psmbers foot hundred and fifty members,

the worthy gentleman occupying them, to in.- c

your permission, give you a slight description
of them. The Seminary is an elegant and N

t architecture-a style quite as impoing as it h4
beautiful. The Study Hall is large with an "
s abondance of room fcl o:ei hundred and fifty p,

during the winter by clo-ing the openings.- A
-In this establishment. nearly branch of edu
cation has its separate study, and the ,;rounds
adjoining the building are amply large tor t
exercs-e. The Parsonage is built in the style
similar to the Seminary, and reflects no
little Predit upon the designer. It will form
r a most delightful residence for the worthy I
pastor and his family.
These buildings were cemmenced only th
about two montihs ago, and it is incredible D
almost how ollch has been accomplished ~ii
so short a time. botih in the Seminary and '

e As lNcIrEvr.--We have always ooked
upon the election of M>r. FiLLMuoaaascertain,,
n but one day this week,we were fully con
vinced of the fact. A gentleman called u:r
r on us, and after exchanging the usual courte
0 sies, he asked us for his bill Not knowing
s that the gentleman was indebted to us. we
Y overhauled our ponderous ledger on which
>f the debit side is slightly the heaviest, we found
that he was indebted to us for three years
subscription and advertising. An enormous
sum ! We tremblingly a.d fearfully stated
a the amount-fearful that so large a sum would
d over-size his pile, alas! when did we ever
d have a pile! judge of our astonishment and
pleasure when he calmly and collectedly put
his hand in his pocket and drew forth two
f goldpieces and presented them to us ! Visions
n of purchasing a large sguar estate or paying
t off the State debt rose before our bewildered
imagination, as the gold pieces gliftered be
e fore us on the tabi--and we felt. yes ! we
felt that we did'nt have seventy-five cents to
return him his change. Taut we felt gener
ous, and adjourning to the Planters House took
a "smile" and handed over the change. Our
babe and Ilttleones also indmllged in an unusu
al quantli of candy and bon-bons that day.
It is needless to add, that we were entirely
unable to perform any labor for the balance
of the day. Now, kind reader, that gentle
man was a thorough bred, out-and-out Dem
ocrat-and none of your small fry Democrats
I neit her, but a whole:souled fellow,every inch
of him, but he sail he was goipg up the river
after the election. and he wished to pay up
before he went. We asked him if it was up
Salt River he was going, and he said-noth
ing! Of course, we concluded it was so. As
we have several other accounts similar, we
hope we won't be forgotten.
FiNE CLoTIrno.-Cold weather is at hand
and the shivering frame. require a comrorter.
W. D. PHILLIPS, the Clothing Monarch of
Biton Rouge, has everything and anything
in the shape of clothing, and to see his stock
is to purchase. It said that the people in the
in the interior of Africa go "sans cu
lottes all the year round. If this be true
would'ut PHI.LIPs cut a pretty figure there
with his newly arrived stock of clothing that
they now have at the corner of Lafayete
and Church streets! In this enlightened
country, however, nothing produces so great
an effect ao an elegant suit of fine clothing,
and we advise a thorough examiation of his
assortment before it is too late.
Tax RIGNm or ART.-Is this wonderful
age, art lays her master touches on almost
everything. The ceilings over us and the
carpets we tread on, are hollowed by art.
Nothing is too lofty for her touch and nothiqg
too humble. A new proof of this old con
viction has just fallen under our notice, in the
shape ofdaguereotypes at the establismento
Vail and Pertac. Co and see them by all
mebn.
.EW YoRK.--Major Williams, a sub-elec
tor on the Buchanan ticket in New York,
after signifying his determination to vote for
Fillmore, thus defines his positish, in a card
which he publishes in the Jtooklyn Siar :
That the struggle in the city and State of
New York wil; be between Fillmore and
Fremont is no longer a matter of question.
And the vote of the State of New York will
inevitably decide the result of the el.' :ion as
far as the chances of Col. Fremoint are con
cerned.
To this he adds:
And, as the time of the election approach
es. think well, ye conservative demiocraft of
New York. w.io had reso!ved to vote for -
Bucthana ! ask )ouirsei es whether he cefl
hope to gain the vote of your State and re

subject, to vote iii accordais with patriotic
principles, and for .Millard Filliore. that

candidate of the Black Republicans. r

Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia. Louisiana.

these eenstble remarks, and at upon their
convictions of right. It is plain to be seen
that Buchanan has i:o chance of success,
while Fillmore has !
The Censor, published at Fredonia, has
abandoned Buchanan, and declared for Fill
more. Its reasons for doing so are the same t
that will influence thousands of National
Democrats in New York to rally around Mr. v
Fillmore as the only means ot beataug Free
-oilism and sectionalism. We copy from its
article announcing the change:

0~ An old gentleman in Hillsboro, N.
H., General Pierce's native town, on his late
visit there, said he was one of six Whigp re
maining in that town, and he intended to
vote for Fillmore. We call this true pluch,
and would not exchange him for a dozen of
your lair weather fellows.
[; It is amouonced that the Shakers will

[07 Four influential journals in East Ten

the Fillmore press of that State. Tennessee
is conceded within her own borders as the
most certain State in the Union for F.llmore.
'; TheNew Orlears Bulletin, in speak
ing of the intense enthusiasm for Fillmore
and Dionelson in that city, says:
We have been under the impression that
we should carry the city by fifteen hundred
or two thcusand majority; but the indica
tions now are that we shall carry it by three
thousand. The Old Liae Whigt have yet
to speak, and we are greatly mistake.s if
hundreds of those who have usually co-op
erated with the Democratic party, both na
tives and naturalized citizens, do not plump
the Union and Fillmore ticket through and
through. Cheeringly break the clouds away.
Let the country respc;l :to the city. Let
the Union men of every class and name
