to present to our readeTs as handsome a

SPURIOUS TICKETS—The old fellow in

are cautioning tiieir brethern against being
imposed upon, on the day of cletion, by false
tickets- This apparent horror at any 6uch
underhanded work, is a pretty sure indica
tion that they are getting up ticketB of that
sort, in their own offices, and our word for
it, ifany 6uch tickcts arc printed in thiscity^
they will be printed by these very fellows,
who are crying out so lustily against the
scheme.
It is a game they can't play! We have
no fears of any Democrat being deceived by

iThe Tribune on Slavery.
Since the amalgamation of Whijjgery and
Abolitianism, conBumated at the late Conven
tion at Iowa City, the Whig papers of the State
hate been burdened with lengthy articles upon
the enormities of Slavery, They have discov*
ered in th« features of that wicked eld sinnor,
the Slave-power, something far more hideous
than they had ever before beheld. Their BOII
sibilities are chocked, and they hold up their
hands in very horror, in view of the enormi
ties of that awfully "peculiar Institution."
Even the Editor of the Dubuque Tribune—
that modest little "Organ" that holds its "po•
sition"so far down upon the tail end of Whig
gejjr, as to have been entirely lost sight of for
some time past—has "come out" upon this
dark subject, and threatens tho *otal oxtinc
tionofthe "lother end" of thi* mighty coun
try, unless people Will vote as his Muster, Muj.
Mobley, wishes them to.
It is very seldom that we have occasion to
say anything abodt the Tribuno, one way or
the other* and never take it up without think
ing of the recommendation, of Pope in his. im
mortal essay,
'Lsughwben you must,bp sober wheriyou can,1
and-kr* gene

induce us to make the effort at being "sober."

lodging from this, nud similar language, used
by this Tribune, we car. but presume that he
is either entirely ignorant of the subject upon
which he attempts to write, or that he has most
egregiotlllf mistaken .tbe1iilelligei|ce ^Sf bis
readerj. v-
We feel confident, that iho Tribune has not
a reader so profoundly and stupidly ignorant as
not to kno that slavery, as ic exists in this
tfoantry, is a •State,und not a National Institu
tion, and therefore that it is impossible for any
person rightfully to "come forward in the
CinLJicil- uJ
Republic," and attempt to re-
move it from the "esculcheon"ofhi3cquntry'3
honor—plague-spot though it be.
We feci confident that this scntunctit of the
Editor of the Tribune, will produco none other
effect upon the minds of his readers, than con
tempt for his ignorance, and indignation at the
insult offered to their judgment and intelli
gence.
But they (the men of the Convention) "will
not even raise their voices in opposition to a
further extension of the blighting curso."
Extension where? Who asks that slavery
shall be extended? What opportunity is af
forded for any one to rajse his voice against the
extension of Slavery? The Editor of the Tri
bune ought to know, and any man of ordinary
intelligence, who has the opportunity of see
inga newspaper oncc a month,
does
know, that
no attcmpt,on the part of any one,from any sec
tion of the country, has ever been made in the
"Councils of the Republic," to extend the in
stitution of slavery into territory now free:—
nor is there the least probability that any such
question ever will arise
If the roadcrs of the Tribune were as ignor
ant as the Editor appears to be, they might, by
reading his sheet, be betrayed into tho belief
that the Democracy of Iowa were in favor of
the extension of slavery into California and
New Mexico! while to every intelligent reader
it is well known that nothing can be farther
from the truth. Tho Democracy of Iowa, in
common with tho Democracy of tho North,
and we may almost say of the entire country,
arc in favor of Freedom, wherever that free
dom can be properly, safely, and constitution
ally secured. They regard the Territories of
California and New Mexico as free Territories,
as little likely to be cursed by the institution
of slavery as is the Territory of Minesota, or
even tho State of Iowa itself. The question of
tho existence or non-existence of slavery in
these Territories has besn settled by law, and
settled»to the entire satisfaction of a large ma
jority of the people of the country. So long as
they shall exist as Territories, so long will they
bo free from the "blighting curse of slavery,"
and from the opinions already manifested by
those who have gone there, and still continue
to go, no possibility exists that it can ever be
recognized as one of their institutions, when
they shall assume the dignity of States.

The Election—State Ticket.
Wo are very much pleased with the unani
mity of feeling that pervades that ranks of the
Democracy of the North, upon the subjcct of
the election of tho Board of Public Works.
We can assure our friends at the South, that
they may rely upon tho full Strength of the
Northern Democratic vote. v
v
Tho falsehoods that have been put in circu
lation by the Telegraph, of this city, with re
gard to Co). Patterson, will have no other effect
than to make the conductors of that paper,
whoever they may be, appear ridiculous in the
eyes of honest men. This is an old trick of
Whiggcry. Just upon tho eve of an election,
j*they
are roady with some manufactured state
ment, as false as it. is futile, with the hope of
dampening the ardor of Democracy, or winning
them to the support of their own ticket. Such
Is the character of the communication of "Old
Lang Syne."

and consistent Democrat instead of lending

Jesse Williams is well known to the

We have one question to ask our whig
friends, upon the sulject of this Secretary
ship. Who is Mr. Allison, the man you
have upon your ticket as Candidate for this
office! You answer, he wao a member of
the last legislature,—true, but how did he
get there! By deceiving the very party to
whom he owed the honor of a nomination
and election. A new comer in the county
of Monroe, and bei ng an adept in playing
the part of-'all things to all men," he man
aged to create for himself a degree of per
sonal popularity, of which the Whig Con
vention saw fit to avail themselves, and
brought him out as their Candidate, for the
legislature. He was elected, as a matter of
course, the county of his residence having
at that time a whig majority. After his
election, grown bold, from the flatter ^at
i?nlions that had been thus unexpectedly
heaped upon him, he comes out and declares
his real opinions upon the subject of politics.
The whigs. of Monroe were astonished to
iind they had caught a Tartar. Their doc
trine of "expediency'' had betrayed them
into a fatal error, their pel turned out a rank
Abolitionist! His personal popularity had
won for himself, but was now loet to the
dearest intcresffe of those who had been his
dupes—support a slave holder for the office
of President of the United States! he scorn
ed the idea, and gave the little remnant of
his influence to the help of the traitor Mar
tin Van Uuren! Of course ho is dead with
the whigs of the county of Monroe! they
were gulled once, but he will gull them no
more! and mark the prediction, William
Allison will get nothing more than the Ab
olition vote of Jionroe and the adjoining
counties.
Wo are aware that a portion of^the whig
party ofthis4?tate a'!*® infevourofamalgama

THELATEMBS. MADISON.—We mention
ed in our last that this venerable an£ estim
able woman was no more. The departure
of one, who for a half a century, had been
the centre of social attraction, and the ob
ject of so much admiration, can hardly fail
to awaken a sentiment of profound regret.
Mrs. Madison was about 84 years of age,
and has enjoyed almost uninterrupted good
health till within a short time ofher death-
She gave tone and dignity to the society
of Washington for many years, and by the
refinement ofher manners, and amiableness
ofher dispositipn. vvou the esteem of all who
knew her.
She was born in Virgina,—removed to
Philadelphia at an early age—married a law
yer by the name of Todd, by whom she had
one son, now living in Virginia. Mr. Todd
died in iess than three vears after their
has ever marriage, and in 1794 she married Mr.

the United Statov.
Mr. Madison retired from the Presidency
with a handsome compctoncy, but it was
impaired before his death. After his death,
the indiscretions ofher son brought bis wid
ow a!niost to the verge of poverty notwith-
son papers.
Two years ago, a fund of Twenty Thou
sand dollars was put into tho hands of Trus
tees, by Congress, for her benefit in consid-
for
t!:e remaining papors of her dis-
Anguished husband, the income of which
the fund goes back into the Treasury.
Trouble, with the Indians.—S. letter was
received in Plattoviiie, from the California
Emigrants, dated June 13th, 435 miles
from Independence, in which it is stated,
that on the 23d of May, while searching a'
Platte River, a party of ob)Ut 100 Indians
cam** upon them, and finding one of their
number distant from camp, they killed him,
and robbed him of his Rifle, Pittols, Watch
and money.
The name of the murdered man was Har
rison Rowe, was a merchant of Platteville.
Charcoal .and Sulphur.—Doctor Bird's
pi'Is, said to have had such a wonderfully
happy effect upon the Cholera patients in
Chicago, are found, upon analysis to con

THE NEW YORK DEMOCB\CY —Willthey
Unite1—An attempt will made, on th?
15th of the present mouth, to heal the seism
which has heretofore existed in the Demo
cratic ranks in the State of New York.—
This attempt is to be made by a Uuion Con
vention, to be composed of one delegate
from each party, from each of the assembly
districts in the State. This convention is
to meet at Rome on the 15th, and ie intend
ed, either to take the place of the two sep
arate conventions heretofore called at Utica
and at Syracuse on the 5th and 12th otSept.
respectively, of-to actadvisorytothose con
ventions.
The proposition for this Uuioa^gopven*
tion, originated with the DeWbcratic patty
proper, as was accepted by the State Com
mittee of the "Free Soil" partv. The lan
guage of the letter of acceptance from the
free Soilers is sueh as to leave little hope of
a reconciliation, and we shall have to waite
their action, before we can have much cons
fidence in their professed desire forhfermoiiy.

THE COUNTY TICKET.
The indications now are, that our County
Ticket will be elected by a very handsome ma
jority, notwitstanding the efforts made by till
whig candidates in the field, and the falsehoods
direct and indirect that have been circulated
by the whig presses of this City.
Our candidalesare too well known, and their
moral, political, and official worth too highly
appreciated, to leave their opponents the least
possiblo chance of success and our only won
der is, that they have not sagacity enough to
see it. But still they labor on, and they will
labor until the poll books awaken them to A
conviction of their folly.
In the election of County OfFiefifn, there is
r»ltb....v., been found lh.j h.v. held
approbation of every citizcn of the county, both
Whifc and Democrat. No complaints have ev
er been lodged against them, but on all hands
we hear their official acts spokon of in the high
est terms of commendation.
But who 010 the men proposed by the whig
party to take the place of STKWART and VAN
HAGAN? Are they men whos^ business habits
have beer, such as to qualify them for tho im
portant crusts proposed to be conferred upon
them? Are tho people of ihe county willing
to see their well-tried and faithful servants dis
placed by such men? Let the answer be made
at the BallotrBox, and bo made in a tone which
cannot be misunderstood.

ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA-FOR
FIGXNEW3.
St. JOHNS, July 26,1849.
The Europa arrived at Halifax last eve
ning with 123 passengers. The crops in
England and Ireland are very promising.
The Potato disease has appeared in many
places in Ireland.
The Irish papers contain the most dis
tressing accounts of intense sufferings, par
ticularly in thesouth-westerti districts. The
Work Houses are filled to repletion, and
thousands are actually without the means
of keeping body and soul together.

FRANCE.
Elections to fill 35 vacancies are going
forward quietly, and the results in favor
of the moderate candidates. In Paris Min
isterial candidates all returned, in the prov
inces Lamartine and a few Socialist have
secured their election. On Thursday there
was a rumor in Paris that a difference ex
isted in the Cabinet, some said that Barrot
and Dufune would retire, and doubts were
expressed whether England had as previ
ously reported, remonstrated with France
on the subject of Rome.
M« DePuys has been despatched as em
bassador extraordinary to the Court of St.
James, with much apparent lmste the ob
ject is as has been conjectured, to neutral
ize Lord I'almcrston'sdecided or apprehen
ded intentions in favor of the Romans- In
reference to this subject, the London Sun
says Lord Palmerston has demanded an ex
planation in regard to the intentions of
Franco towards Rome. How long it is in
tended the French army shall occupy Rome
and the Roman territory? Whether it is re
solved to support Pope Pius. The Legiti
mate aiid Jesuit journals are setting up the
ery for *he absolute and unconditional res
toration of Holiness but the correspon
dent of the Times says, that, no such folly
is intended by the French government.
Several committees of the Legislative as
sembly suggest a prorogation from the 15th
of August to the 1st of October, without any
detriment to public business. A committee
was appointed forthwith to consider the
proposition, and an Italian question, and the
difficulties attending which, occasioned great
fluctuation in the funds. The Moniteur con
tains despatches from Gen. Oudinot, giving
an elaborate description of the final assault
made on tho 29th of June. The Romans
fought desparately, leaving 400 killed and
110 prisoners- Tho French oniy^ admit 9
tellies and 111 wounded.
In consequence of the surrender of Rome,
orders received at Toulon for embarking
reicforccments, have been countermanded
and the steamers already at sea, will be or
dered back. Ledru Rollin's movements are
at length traced. He was, until recently,
secreted in Paris. He reached London on
Wednesday, from Belgium, in company
with Bernard, Arrigot and Bouchat.
Present accounts of the cholera in Paris
are favorable. Deaths have decreased to
30 a day. The total number of deaths in
Paris r.nd suburbs since the commencement
of the epidemic have been upwards of 20,
000.
ifALY.
The Roman Assembly, at its last sitting,
adopted a Constitution and ordered it to be
deposited in the capitol, as an expression
of the unanimous wish of the people. It is
to be engraved on marble.
Funeral services have been ordered for
those who fell defending the Republic.
The full entrance ol the French took
place on the evening of the 3d inst. The
Assembly recommended abstinence from
revenge as unworthy the dignity of repub
licans.
Garibaldi succeeded in escaping with
10,000 men. He was loudly cheered by
the pdpulace as ho passed through the city.
His intention is, to invade th« kingtom^of'
Naples. A division of the French expedi-:
tion had set out in pursuit of him.
1 he Roman Government is composed of
