W e need not remind intelligent Democrats of the pledge given by the Baltimore Con­vention, and renewed by President Pierce in his inaugural address to discountenance the agiut iqn of the Slavery question, both iu Congress and out, by all possible merfos.— N o w how that pledge was falsified io the re­peal of the Missouri Compromise act.

The chief argu­ment urged by the Northern supporters of the act, abrogating the Alissouii Compromise line, and the one which induced us to acquiesce iu it, strongly as we condemned so palpable a breach of faith by our leaders in Congress, was that iu proclaimed the great Democratic doctrine of popular sovereignty, and secured to the people of Kansas the right to regulate their own domestic affairs in their own way.

FOR MEMBER OF CONGRESS, (22ND DISTRICT,)

HENRY C. GOODWIN.

T h e E lec t ions . The returns from the recent State Elections

of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana are not

complete. Contradictory dispatches from sev­

eral counties in Pennsylvania are current, and

it is hard to decide which are correct. The

latest dispatches give the Slate to the Anti-

Buchanan ticket by about One Thousand Ma-'

jority ; but we can hardly claim a triumph on

so narrow a margin as this. The true result

will not be known until it is officially an­

nounced—perhaps not until after the General

Election.

O H I O is for us by a majority largely in­

creased from last year. The Republicans

have probably carried the State by at least

30 ,000 majority. The American vote was

less than 20 ,000 .

I N D I A N A . — T h e election of the Hon. A . P .

WILLARD, the Democratic candidate for Gov­

ernor, is Conceded. The Republicans have a

majority in the Slate Senate, and the Demo­

crats in the House. The Democrats elect

five Congressmen and the Republicans three, dear to freemen on the part of the people of j Three districts are still doubtful, that Territory has been resisted by the whole These elections have settled one thing as a power of the Government.

The actual settlers of A final effort is in progress to combine the the Territory were driven by violence from the s t i a m Democrats and the Fillmore Know polls, their lives endangered, their ballot boxes desiroved, and the voice

','HtiUJ !.loiter in opposition to Slavery, a Mate i \ i ou offeuce, abolished the freedom of speech, and of the press, and denied to men the right to serve as jurors who are con­scientiously opposed to Slavery.

The President of the Unite J States has ordered Government troops to enforce these laws. In their attempt to do so, peaceable citizens of the Territory have been brutally murdered, their towns demolished, their houses burned, their crops destroyed, their cattle and other properly stolen, their printing presses th'rown into the river, iheir wives insulted and outraged, their leaders arretted and imprisoned without authority of law, and all their dearest rights trampled under foot. All these out­rages have been committed or encouraged by United States troops, or by Missouri outlaws, under the lead of United States officers, and approved by the President of the United Slates. The people of the Territory have even been dispersed by Government minions, white peaceably assembled to consult upon public affairs, a right expressly guaranteed to every citizen of the Uuited States by the Federal Constitution. Every effort to carry out the doctrine of " popular sovereignty" has been prevented by a hireling soldiery. And this is the way that invaluable Democratic principle has been maintained by the authors of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and they are now using the whole power of the Government to force Slavery into that Territory, for the pur­pose of depriving you and all of a portion of our political right:1, and to degrade our brethren in Kansas to a level with Southern slaves.

Can the Democrats of Michigan sustain any longer, in power, men who have perpetrated these outrages, and who are pledged to per­petuate them ; and who have so openly viola­ted ihe principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Democracy ? Let others do as ihey may, we will have no part nor lot in the matter. Be­lieving with ihe Free Press, our Democratic organ iu ibis city, *' a people who would not rebel at laws forced upon them by fraud and violence"as it admits the Border Ruffian laws were upon the people of Kansas, " Would be unworthy the name of American" we shall hereafter use our influence to deleat the men who have attempted, and are now attempting by such infamous means to compel the people of Kansas to submit to their cruel laws .— "Thanking God," as the same paper does, " that the administration of Franklin Pierce is drawing to a close," we shall do nothing to perpetuate it in the person of James Buchanan, nor to continue its infamous policy by hut election ; on the contmry, we shall work qnd vote for John C. Freemont, the only real I)e-mocratie candidal* note before the people, fullj satisfied that his administration will consult the best interests of the country, and we call upon everv true hearted Democrat in the State to follow our example.

will and can not be a Hiudoo. Hence the

unscrupulous leaders of the Fiilmore party

are arranging to " trade" on candidates. The

utter hopelessness of obtaining a vole in this

State for BUCHANAN', renders his supporters

willing to do anything to render the success

of the Republican nominees precarious. S"

their good-humored candidate for Governor,

Judge P A R K E R , is to be passed by v»ivh a

merely complimentary vote, as was Judge

BRONSOX in 18o4, and the principle vote of

both parties concentrated on ERASTUS BROOKS.

If the Fillmore electoral ticket should succeed,

it would interpose no difficulty in the way of

the success of a ** Democratic" candidate.

In Delaware, Otsego, Broome, and other

counties the two factions are runuiog Union

Tickets; and where neither is confident of

succeeding alone, we may depend upoq such

coalitions. In several placet*, separate nomi­

nations are made to amuse and deceive the

Irish and German voters ; but the candidates

are sold out. In the southern part of our own

county a Union Club has been formed, and

Judications are strong that the same coalition

is being effected iu other parts of the county,

though they may not lake a public form.

Meanwhile the piratical Know Nothing

border are buisy all over the State. BROOKS,

ULLMAK, and all the rest of the dogs are

barking all around—uttering the damnable

lie, so often refuted and denied, yet still per­

sisted in—that Co!. FREMONT is a Roman

Catholic. I t is all their stock in trade. They

have not a principle except Slavery extension ;

and so keep telling the stale old lie, till it

emits a stench to every honest man's nostrik

Perhaps it is believed, though we can hardly

imagine a man besotted enough for that.

Certain it is, that those who tell it, are not of

that number.

W e appeal to our friends now to make a

thorough canvass of the different towus. W e

want every vote! Let the Clubs hold meet­

ings in every School House, to arouse the

lovers of Freedom to action. Our enemies

despair of injuring us except by coalition, and

for that we must be prepared. Organization

alone can insure victory.

Freedom is not safe with either FILLMORE

or B U C H A N A N . Both ignore the outrages, the

murders, rapes and lawless deeds perpetrated

in Kansas. And the papers issued and circu­

lated by their adherent?, keep that matter en­

tirely out of view. See to it therefore that

proper documents are widely circulated, that

there are conveyances ready to eonvey voters

to the polls, that every effort is strained, every

exertion made to induce men to vote intelli­

gently and for the right aide. W e might as

well give Col. FBBMONT 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 as 10 ,000

majority, if the right effort was made.

W e repeat our call, in tones o f thunder

would we reiterate i t—to organize ! f

around about. The Oneida Sax Horn Band

was engaged for the occasion and discoursed

some very fine music. Mr. , of Can-

astola, was appointed Chairman, and after

taking his place, attempted to define what

treason was, but did not g o so far as

to make an application of his remarks by

chargeing the crime against any person or

party. H e then introduced the speaker.

Mr. UEADLKY commenced by giving a his­

tory of his receptions and the difficulties at­

tending his labors throughout the county.—

At Hamilton the people had the unkindness

to appoint a Republican meeting on the same

evening that he was expected to speak; and,

whicb seemed to grieve bim most, had invited

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, who was then attend­

ing a Mass Meeting in Brookfieid, to address

thein. He thought it strange that the people

should prefer to listen to a man who had de­

nounced the Constitution, excited resistance to

law, (meaning the Fugitive Slave law,) aud

advocated doctrine dangerous to the perpetuity

of the Union and the safety of our institu­

tions, rather than to one who advocated the

claims of Native Americanism and the election

of MILLARD FILLMORE. W e think he mali­

ciously misrepresented Mr. DOUGLASS iu this,

for, if we understand his position, he holds

the Constitution to be, as the Declaration of

Independence certaioly is, an Anti-Slavery

document, and that were it properly con­

strued and administered, the cries of the

bondman would cease and Slavery be forever

banished from the land. His audience at

Hamilton, in consequence of this unaccount­

able preference of the" people, was " only re­

spectable" W e have since learned that the

"respectable" audience numbered 75 persons

only, while the number that listened to Mr.

DOUGLASS was estimated to be nearly two

thousand. His denunciation of Mr. D O U G L A S S

fell sadly on the hearts of many warm ad­

mirers of the man. Above all men is Mr.

DOUGLASS justified in crying out against that

system of oppression which has so degraded

and crushed to the earth his brethren at the

South, and of which he himself has tasted the

bitter fruits. The liberal hearts of the North

honor and love him for his fearless assertion

of manhood. But Mr. H E A D L E T complained

that in all parts of the county he met with

similar opposition, and he had become so im­

pressed with the apparent hostility to Mr.

FILLMORE and his cause that a conviction had

settled deeply upon his mind that at this place,

the last of his appointments, he should certainly

meet with violence! He expectef nothing else

but that lie should be mobbed ! But in this

he was happily disappointed ; befor^ him was

the most delightful audience that he had had

the pleasure of addressing for many a day.—

Although denied in many places the privilege

of addressing the inhabitants of our county,

yet he had not been denied the pleasure of

viewing most beautiful scenery, which was

everywhere spread out before him. For this

he thauked the God of nature—nature was

never a tyrant. The people, he thought, were

mad on this question of Liberty, as they had

at other times been on the question of Tem­

perance. He was opposed to making ques­

tions of this kind the sole basis of a party.—

The people h<;d run after strange g o d s ; had

deserted the American party, which was

pledged to Freedom, (!) and had given their

adhesion to a party that was hatched out in

ihe bar-room of the Astor House over good

gin and toddy. The American party grew

out of a great necessity ; the country was be­

ing overflooded with foreigners; American

mechanics and laborers were underbid in their

wage8 , and ruin generally was coming upou

the land. The, Republican party grew out of

no necessity ; there was no excuse for erecting

another Anti-Slavery party in opposition to

the Americans. They were already sound on

that question (!) H e referred to the history

of Mr. FILLMORE'S early life as proof that he

was a reliable Anti-Slavey roan ; but said

nothing of his southern tour and speeches, in

which he declared l h a t " the Anti-Slavery

prejudices of his early education Jiad been ob­

literated." He tried to lift from Mr. FILLMORE

the weight ot contempt entertained for his

act of passing the Fugitive B i l l ; that act

which so outraged the pride and spirit of the

North ; which struck down the right of habeas

corpus and trial by jury—rights guamteed by

the Constitution of the United States—and

imposed a penalty of fine and imprisonment

upon every freeman who refused to act the

part of bloodhound in hunting down the

pauting fugitive. H e considered the Anti-

Slavery cause set back a quarter of a century

by this desertion of the people from the

American party! There was a prejudice en­

tertained by the people against Mr. FILLMORE

lhat was altogether unaccountable to him !

It may seem unaccountable to bim, but we

think the people's prejudices are well founded. u A burnt child dreds the fire." They have

tried Mr. FILLMORE—they fear him. They

to fill the Chair at Washington, the house

came down, with tremendous applause. The

wrong string had been touched—the house

was electrified. He of course recited the

calumnious stories which bare been circula­

ted against Col. FREMONT, charging him with

|>eing a Catholic, and wiib frauding the

Government; falsehoods that are now, like

chickens, coming home to roost

W e must give Mr. H E A D L E T the credit of

being geailemanly and moderate in his ad­

dress. After all bis charges against Mr. F R E ­

MONT and the Republican party, he gave the

listener to understand that the? might be ex-

aggreations,and possibly not founded on truth.

He established nothing. His <>peech was a

most impotent affair.

Oneida Seminary. On Thursday last, at 3 P . M., a goodly

number of our citizens assembled to witness

the laying of the corner-stone of Oneida Sem­

inary. The Oneida Sax Horn Band enlivened

the occasion with their exhilarating notes.—

The blessing of G O D was invoked by Rev. E .

R E E D ; after which Mr. N I L E S HIGGINBOTHAM,

of the Committee, deposited beneath the cor­

ner-stone a box containing the Articles of As ­

sociation, a list of the names of Stockholders

with the various amounts subscribed, the

names of Trustees and Building Committee,

together with a copy of the Oneida Sachem

and Extra, g iving notice of the occasion.—

Music by the Band. A short address was

given by Hon. JOHN SNOW, and remarks made

by Rev. D . Ti ELLIOTT, M. J. SHOECRAFT»

Esq., Mr. J O H N S O N H A R V E Y , and IRA S

HITCHCOCK. The occasion was deeply inter­

esting, and the speeches both able and in­

structive.

The building will be a magnificent affair.

Size—North front, 81 feet; west front, 105

feet; four stories high. The amount of stock

subscribed for its erection is Ten Thousand

Dollars. It is designed by the Committee to

carry the work uo farther than the stonework

of the basement this fall. The location is

retired but pleasant. We hope our citizens

will afford every encouragement to the Com­

mittee in their power, by promptly paying

tbeir installments to the Treasurer; thereby

removing the only impediment that can re­

tard its final accomplishment.

The Nomination!. Our friends are making noble nominations

for Congress. GOODWIN of Madison, M A T -

TESON of Oneida, G R A N G E R of Onondaga,

BENNETT of Chenango, Gen. N Y E of New

York, and others whom we might mention,

are names which will, as iu times past, prove

a tower of strength. The bullies, the ruffians

of Congress can make no progress against

these war-worn veterans. They are staunch,

honorable, true. Tbeir triumph will send

trembling into the camp of the enemy, and

perfect the efforts now making to establish

freedom throughout the Union.

To the Editor of the Oneida Sachem:—

D E A R S I R :—When I hear professed Dem­

ocrats of the North declare their hatred of

slavery and their abhorrence of these outrage­

ous laws which the Border Ruffians of

Missouri have enacted for Kansas, and for

the sole purpose of extending slavery over

that Territory ; and still further hear them

express a great desire lhat Kansas may

become a Free Stale, then see and bear them

uniting with all the Slave States and Border

Ruffians of Missouri in the selection of such

men to preside over our National affairs as

those States and Ruffians prefer above all

others, makes it difficult for me to determine

whether such Democrats are knaves or fool*,

or have a large sprinkling of both dishonesty

and folly.

For the Oneida Suchem. O N E I D A VALLEY, Oct. 11th, 1856 .

EDITOR SACHEM :—Yesterday was to be the

grand turn-out of the "Democratic " party at

Oneida Valley. Flaming hand-bilk had been

posted, calling on tlie faithful to rally and

"come to the rescue." The names of D . C-

POMEROT and H . T. UTLEY of Rome and B.

F. C H A P M A N of Clockville, were announced

as Speakers. The meeting was called at 1

o'clock, at the church, but for some cause the

people did not " rally." By sending out in

various directions, they were able by 5 o'clock

to organize, and Mr. POMEROY occupied the

time until sunset at which time the meeting

adjourned to 1 o'clock.

It was well known that the friends of

freedom had made a call for a meeting: at the

same hour to be addressed by Mr. J. HARVEY

of Oneida. A t 7 o'clock the friends of free"

dom might be seen on the street, in front of

the Post Office, and on the arrival of Mr. H., it

was agreed lhat inasmuch as their meeting bad

been adjourned so as to clash with ours, and as

their Speakers were at the Church, waiting for

hearers, wo would all repair to lhat place, and it

was agreed that Mr. U T L E Y should occupy one

hour, and Mr. H A R V E Y should follow to the

close of the meeting. A t 7:45 Mr. UTLEY

began. H e said the extension of Slavery was

not the issue before the people in this cam­

paign; that the Republican party were only

engaged in the Slavery agitation. Ho glanced

at the Louisiana purchase and the Wilraot

Proviso, and then exclaimed, " What do they

propose to do if they elect their candidate ?

He said lhat Gen. L A N E was the author of

most of the outrages in Kansas ; that he and

his men had murdered and even scalped un­

offending citizens; and in conclusion he de­

clared that the Democratic party was .a Na­

tional party and the Republican sectional.

Mr. H. followed and reviewed with the ut­

most fairness the present aspect of our gov­

ernmental affairs. H e spoke of the present

position of the Democratic party aud showed

conclusively that their policy was not that of

THOMAS J E F F E R S O N , whom they professed to

follow. He referred also to the Missouri Com­

promise ; bow, and by whom it was adopted ;

and of the repeal of that compromise iu 1854 ;

and showed up Squatter Sovereignty, as illus­

trated in Kansas, to be nowhere; recounted

the wrongs in that Territory, and finally point­

ed out the true course to be pursued in order

that we may retain those rights guaranteed

to us by the Constitution.

Mr. H. was listeued to for more than an

hour with profound attention by an appreci­

ating audience.

Yours for Freedom.

Impromptu Masi Meeting at r.idgerille-The Lake Country Ablaae for Fremont!

CANASTOTA, Oct. 1 3 , 1 8 5 6 .

M R . EDITOR :—A large and most enthusi-

astic assemblage of the true-hearted and pa"

triotic yeomanry of the Lake District, with

their wives and sons and daughters, convened

together at the Ridgeville Meeting House on

Friday evening, of the lOih of October.

This meeting affords a signal instance of the

spontaneous uprising of the People, without

the aid of politicians, without distinction of

party, inspired by a just cause, roused and

goaded to action by the tyrannic acts and

enormities of that spurious democracy which

is now seeking to prolong the power of the

Pierce dynasty—by the election of B U C H A N A N .

Without notice, either printed or written

and ouly by a viva voce appointment, and that

but a short time previous, d with but a vague

promise of speakers, at an early hour in the

evening, the large church at that place was

crowded to overflowing, many remaining out­

side during the evening.

On motion of S . B A R N E S , Esq., R . H.

CHILDS, Esq., was called to the chair, who,

after a few pertinent remarks relative to the

highly important interests at stake, dependent

upon the success of the Republican cause and

ticket, introduced L. FOWLER, E s q , to the

audience. Mr. F . proceeded to lay open before

the audience io a most effective and eloquent

manner the principles involved in this cam­

paign, staling lhat all old issues were laid

aside, and that there was, in fact, but one issue

—whether slavery shall be extended into our

free territories. After chaining the audience

for an hour, he gave way to Judge BARLOW,

who followed up (filling another hour) by a

powerful and very effective onset upon the

principles and pretensions of Mr. FILLMORE,

who he clearly proved to be a nonentity in

ibis canvass—so changed had he become from

that FILLMORE in the outset of his career, an

imbred opponent of slavery, and now its ap­

prover and supporter. Mr. B U C H A N A N also

came in for a share of deserved ridicule, be­

ing shown to be obsolete—a politician by

trade, cold, selfish, superannuated and a sup­

ple tool of the South. After alluding to the

increasing boldness of the Buchanan party

in openly justifying slavery; in proof of

which he cited from ihe Soulheru press and

also from the Syracuse Courier, the new

Buchanier organ which leads off with the

bold, barefaced assertion that " S L A V E R Y is

the bulwark of Liberty"—the latest Demo­

cratic doctrine. After bestowing a glowing

panegyric upon the character and career of

JOHN C. FREMONT, Judge B. closed with the

W e present to our readers, this week?

on the first page, an Agricultural Address from

the pen of our much .esteemed correspondent,

THOMAS BARLOW, Esq. In times of high po­

litical excitement, like the present, it is refresh­

ing to have one's mind led off upon subjects

that savor of domestic tranquility and rural

retirement. The Address will he found to

amply repay a perusal.

Messrs. SAUKDKRS & FITCH have

opened a heavy Hardware Store, on Mill-St,

in this place, nearly opposite our office. Car­

riage Manufacturers and others can here obtain

the best quality of Iron, Steel and Trimmings,

for manufac#ring purposes, at prices lower

than they have been wont to pay.

itable energy.

Mr. D. VV. C. ROBERTS closed the evening

by laying before the audience a general ex­

pose of the course of ihe present administra­

tion in approving and encouraging the Kausas

outrage?, as affording int:overtiblo ptoof ol

the great conspiracy on the p:trt of the slave-

ocratic Buchaniers of the South, assisted by

the doughfaces of the North—to extend the

institution of Slavery through all the free ter­

ritories; and to throw the ballance of political

power into the hands of the South.

The meeting evinced their intense feeling

and interest by remaining in session through

over four hour?, and lyoke up at a late hour

with three times three most soul-stirring cheers

for FREMONT <k DAYTON and " J E S S I E too."

Altogether this was the most cheering man­

ifestation of the campaign in this section,

showing as it does that the sound good sense

of the people has become awakened and alive

to the perilous condition of our country.—

Doubly cheering when compared with the

pilible and miserable Buchanan fizzle at Stale

Bridge, during the same afternoon, which,

notwithstanding glaring handbills calling for

a mass meeting, with three distinguished

speakers advertised, with a postmaster, road

commissioner and town clerk as dry-nurses,

did not call together enough to afford an

apology for speaking.

When the " Father of his countrv" heard

in the beginning of our first Revolution for

Freedom that the raw recruits of N e w Eng­land had successfully stood their ground against the British regulars at Bunker Hill, he exclaimed, with exultation, " thank GOD, the people will fight! So in this second revo­lution, for the recovery of our liberties, we may say, " thank G O D , the people are alive to the danger of the crisis, and " will fight !" at the ballot-box, and thus obviate the necessity of resorting to the cat ridge box.

A Fremont Club was in process of forma­tion at this place and also at LakeporL Clear the track for the people are rising !

Yours, <fec, A N OBSERVER.

XdSTThe town elections just held in Con­

necticut establishes beyond a doubt that an

overwhelming majority of the people of that

State are in favor of FREMONT. The coilition

between the Buchanan men and the Fillmore

men, in behalf of which the Hon. ERASTUS

BROOKS has labored and is still laboring so

zealously, had been consumated there, and

the entire Fillmore vote was cast for the

Bucanan candidates at these elections, except

in a few towns where mixed tickets were sup­

ported by the combined parlies. The result

has been that the coalition is totally powerless.

In the town of Madison, for instance, out of

300 votes only 31 were found to sustain the

Buchanier candidates. And in 32 towns,

given by The Hartford Courant, comprising

nearly all where elections have now taken

place, 74 give Fremont majorities, 5 3 Buchan­

an majorities, and 5 are divided. Contrasted

with the results in some places last Fall, the

Republicans have gained in 23 towns, and the

Border Ruffians in 13 . This has been accom­

plished with a great effort on the part of the

latter, and without special exertions on the

part of the former. Compared with the vote

of last Spring the aggregate gain of Freedom

in these towns is 7 ,000! Taking these facts

into view, we are justified in saying that at

the election in November, 10 ,000 is the least

majority that Connecticut will give to the

standard-bearer of Freedom.

and has been attended with unparalleled success ; and I can offer no stronger evidence in favor of it8

popularity and success, than to say, that it is being adopted by hundreds of the most intelligent physicians throughout the country. It appeals at once to the reason and common sense of every intelligent person, and is now looked upon as the only means which the consumptive invalid can resort to for a permanent cure, or to prolong his davs.
