Lr MODERN DEMOCRACY. TICKET. In Blniihamlnn. V. un the 80th nit.

Alu. ble, and unworthy of a people who profess to honor the freedom of upeooh." It aays; further, that "the recorded proceedings of the party contain nothing obnoxious to the civil rights of others, and however objectionable may be the politica sentiments of the people to the mason of our'cititens, there cun bo no justification for so rude, lawless and unbecoming a demonstration." mottoes on thoir banner. The Union ns it was in the days of Washington aud Jefferson the Union with the policy of the Fathers of the Republic to guide it the Union with Liberty and for the defence of Liberty; these aro the prhioiples which they maintain, and by which tlicy hope to triumph. JEFFERSON. Republican Vigilance Committee for igoo.

The following persons have been chosen as Committees of Vigilance in the several townships of this county. They aro good and true very part and parcel of tho report, and baying convicted these slanderers on tUg toHthno? sy of their own witnesses, how can any sensible manj trust himself to believe any statements which thoy may make in the fu it hut one way about thin thing! These willing took of the Slave Power have become desperate in their isolation, and foolishly think that their malignant ravings will turn, aside the universal popular sentiment which is swooping ovor tho country the great voice of Freedom responding to the ary of Slavery "Thus for shall thou go and no further!" Wo this week place at our moat head (lie ticket formed at tlio Republican County Convention on Tuesday of last week, They aro uU men of ability and deserving of the Confidence of the people, Mr. CnArMAH, tlie first gontleinnn on the ticket for Assembly, is ono of Luzerne's most talented and promising young wen. Enjoying the advantages of a liberal education, with nn ural abilities, he is every way qualified to to fill the important office to whici). Jie has been nominated, with entire satisfaction.

We havo known Mr. Chapman for soven years he is scoker after place, bat a thoroughly schooled politician. As an orator, or 'ready speaker, he has no superior that we know of in tho county. He is peculiarly and admira bly qualified for a Representative. Alferd Dart, tho colloaguo of Mr; Chap wan, is a lawyer of respectable standing, and a truo Republican.

Those who know him speak in the highest terms of his merits. i With Mr. Duvid Taylor, ono of tho can didates for Associate Judce, we havo the plcasuro of being acquainted. He is a thorough business man, aud one in whose integrity and judgment, his neighbors and all who know him have the fullest confidence. No better man oould have been selected.

Benjamin F. Bayloy, the other condiduto forjudge is a man of the highest respectability and moral worth, and will receive the almost unanimous support of his own neighbor hood. Hiram Dennison, our candidate for shoriff, is a prosperous farmer, and one of thoso hos pituble and open hearted men whose nature it is to lighten as much as possible the burthens of his fellow men who have been less blessed with this world's Eoods thau himself. His business qualifications are of a high order. Samuel Saylor, otif candidate for Commis sioner, is also a prosperous farmer, and man of good business capacities.

Peter Cares, the candidate for Auditor, is a man ddmirably fitted for that office, being an experienced business man. 110 was recom mended to tho Convention in tho most flutter ing tenns. Fellow Republicans, our duty is now plain ly bofore us. Let ns go to work with spirit and a determination to elcot our ticket from John C. Fremont, down to Auditor.

Tho can didatos for Senator and Congress will appear on the list noxt week. 'Who they will be is yet a matter of uncertainty, they will how ever be men whose principles arc Rcpublienn It is importaut that the State election should be carried for Freedom as it will havo a pow ertul cflcct on the Presidential campaign in November. Let every man, then, who is op posed to making Kansas a Slave State and to extending slavery into ull newly acquired ter ritory, come us to tho support of the Repub lican ticket. The Ballot box is the only means through which to correct bad governmental policy, and now let us see whether we rcully want reform, or whether these bleeding cries from Kansas nrc to fall at our fcot like the echoes of sounds to which our cars have lie enmo too much accustomed to excite our in terest. Verily we think this never can be.

sg Tub State election iu California took placo on the 3d and it will bo several weeks before wo' hear the Tostilt. Georgia and Florida have their elections on the Cth of twjiift.T a.i.,i wmiu. QUio. Indiana nnd South Carolina hold theirs nn the 14th of October. No other State elections take place, after those, till November.

Louisiuna holds hers on the 3d Illinois, Michigan, Now Jersey, New York and Wisconsin, ou the 4th, the day of the Presidential election Missis sippi on the 3d and 4th, Maryland on tho 5th, Massachusetts on tho 'Jth, and Delaware on the 10th. BCgf Wo learn that Mr. J. M. Amexaxver, formerely of this placo, who has bceu residing in Kansas for a yearortwo past, has returned.

Ho states that business at the town of Leavenworth, in Kansas, is suspended and tho pcoplo thero aro in a state of the greatest excitement. We arc informed that Mr. A. stated that what was dona for Buchanan, must be dono in Pennsylvania, for thero was no possibility of carrying a single Western State for him, so thoroughly liavo tho pcoplo bocomo wakened up by the pro slavery outrages in Kansas. This, coming as it doas from Mr.

Alexander, who is now, and who always has been one of the most stronttous of pro slavery advocates may be regarded as nn omen of the futo which awaits tho present administration. TWO VOICES. i The Now York Daily Times Bays that Mr, Fillmore waa the first to sound the alarm, that if Fremont should bo clectod tho South would not submit, aud the Union would be dissolved 5 1 Mr. Buchanan followed to the same tune, then Mr. Choate, and after him Bully Brooks, of South Carolina.

These dis interested gentlemen aro of tlie that the South should not and will not submit to tho laws, if Col. Fremont should be elected. Ou the other band, Senator Houston, of Texas Senator Bell, of Tennessee, Senator Clayton, of Delaware, and John M. Botts, of Virginia, doclaro that In tho event of Fremont cleo tion, the South not only ought to submit, but that she will submit, and mako tlio best of it. We think that even tho most timid of dough faces will admit that in a case of this kind.

the voice of the South speaking, through its Senators, is more reliable than tluit of tlie North speaking on its bulialf through Mr. Choate and tho two candidate for tho presi leney.

Tho Sun says that gross personalities wore Inflicted upon the most prominent individuals of tho meeting, and of in, Modam Democraey is queer thing. It used to mean the government of tlio masses.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, one of the chief apistlfes of Democracy, fcntortatas tho following political bpinio': men have no1 right to vote unless they aro possessed of property as required by the constitution of South Carolina. There no man can vote, unices ho owns ten tierroes, or real estate to the value of ten thousand dollars." of stamp arc constantly inyited to Democratic meetings at tho North, where their auditors are not, one twentieth part of il L. "nr taem, worin 0, liiousana aouare apwsov, oro tho Democracy of Philadelphia, "to emigrate in a body to South Carolina, and sottla there, the greater part of thorn would be disfranchised. It is thus that the free whito workinginen of the South, tho tuilors, shoemakers, farmers, storekeepers, are so constantly misrepresented 'in' The "aristocrats orb afraid of them, quite as much as thoy are of slaves, and therefore refuse to trust them with the right of suf rage. "Thus, if ull tho white mechanics and industrial artisans in South Carolina wore to desiro to change their representatives, they could not do it, because they havo' not iho right of suffrage.

We have but little time for comment upon it now, but would sny that while it is com osed 'of some very good men, aside from their political theories, it is one which can and will bo easily defeated if the Rcupblican Freemen will but arise in their might and do their duty. ftjtf" As a very significant evidence of tho syuiputhy wbiuUtho Buchanan party feel for the slave power is the great parade they invariably mako of any misconduct however trifling by Free State men in Kansas they have oven gouoso far as to transmogrify Border Ruffians into Free State men, and put tho snddlo on the wrong horso entirely in order to carry out their hatred to ho cause of Free Kansas. This 'conduct might bo excused in a Southern Slavery newspaper, but it is too much almost to be endured from one published in aFrce State.

We don't presume the editors of such sheets as we allude to will very soon get their deserts, fur justice is sometimes long delayed they ought to be thrown into a pen of cross cows and made to steal calves, would certainly bring down upon thorn tho wrath of the old animals in such a manner as to give them a bad idea of stealing for all times to eoine and. leud them to resolve that if they ever got out of that with their lives, they would nov er be caught in such Inisinoss again.

Sting, a citixon of our vil lagc, has shown us a letter, which ho received from hia brothor in liiw, who resides in Chi cago. Tho letter is dated on tho 2.1th and gives an account of an immense Fre mont and Dayton Mass Meeting held in thai eity. The letter! closes, with the assu rance, that tho Germans, in that and other western States are in favor of Free Soil, Frco Speech nnd Fremont, and that Illinois will give him an overwhelming majority. That Terrible Lash. The Editor of the Ijizcnie Union, Inst week made a great blow abont "Lushing" preacher if lie heard any more about their preaching political sermons These threats, we presume, were intended es pecially for the Iter.

Mr. Wvatt and Dr. Prt ic. What terrible fcar these gentlemen must coustunlly labor under in future they will unruly lar speak wlmt Uicy tliink any more for fear of bringing down upon their devoted backs that Insli, which the Democrat io sucking pup of the "Union" boasts of holding in hia hand. Well tuny they invoke the racks and the mountains to fall Uion thoin to shield them from this terrible scoureer a newspnper, whose Editor, scarcely divested of hisBwathing hnuds, stuuda ready to lam peo ple with.

It may, however, be a source of some consolation for gentlemen who have boon threatened with this "lash" to know that it has been plying for sonic time, yet we hear nobody complaining of sore backs and so we suppose it will be.

They Pfoh In os pnrpntf, and clearly indicate to ouf mind the certain and overwhelming tri umph of the Republican cauto in November GBO. M. GOVERNOR WISE ON DISUNION.

It appears that's person Phihidulphia, who has confidence in the wisdom of Gov. has been writing a lotter to that erratic statesman, asking whether, in his opinion, the election of Col. Fremont to the Presidency would bring about a dissolution ol the Union'. What possiblo effect such an event could have upon tho stability of tho Union, it might puaxlo a person of ordinary intelligence to, eay, Governor Wiso has very decided, if not vory cloar, convictions upon tho subject he professes to think that such a lamentable event would bring about it dissolution inevitably. Such an opinion from a man occupying so distinguished a position, might bo regarded by timid persons with sumo alarm but when Mr.

Wise gives his reasons for his convictions, all apprehensions vanish at once. Mr. Wise says, and if any one should suspect us of misquoting tho Governor of Virginia, wo mako the follow ing extract from his letter rf His olection would brine about tlio dis solution of tho American Confederacy of States inevitably. Why I. tor the reason that if New York, Pennsylvania nnd Ohio were slnveholdiug States, and Canada were to assail them with half the violence and all uncharitablcness" which Black Re publicans is assailing us with, thero would lie puimo war in tuiriy aays Dy evory pa tnot's timo pieco We presume that if Governor Wiso had any more reasons to offer in support of his opinion, ho would have given them but ho has put tho cose as strongly as he could, and informed bis correspondent he might do what he pleased with the letter.

The Governor's friend, instead of putting it into the fire, as a true friend would have done, bus put it into the I'eHnsylrauutn. Wo wonder that it did not occur to Gov. Wise, that the defeat of Fremont would not in the slightest degree diminish tho assigned cause of disunion, which would exist in all its vigor, regardless of that event, and, if the Union must be dissolved, for tho reason" assigned by him, tho election of Buchanan could not prevent it. Senator Slidcll of Louisianna, has publish cd a letter to one of his constituents, in which he declares that, in the event in the election of Fremont, the Union cannot, nnd ought not to be But, more pruden than Gov. Wso, he does Tiot give any rea sons for thinking no.

Probably lie has none to irive. Mr. Slidull is Mr. Buchanan's most intimate friend, 'unci, if Old Buck should be elected, will be Secretary of State. No doubt this is one of the reiutuus, if not the only one, why Mr.

Slidcll thinks why the Union ought not to bo preserved if Fremont should be elected. But the opinions of those disunion ists will undcrzo a vury material change after Xovomber, and we idiould n't wonder if the news from Maine should mako their disuuion sentiments even now a little shaky, For the Pittston finzcttc, It is a very easy matter to call names, and some persons, when tliey are at a loss for ur mnicuts in support of their cause, nlwnys have recourse to this practice.

The llcpublicaiis aro willing that tlieir principles may no Known, connoent iiiut they only need to do Known to ueupprovcu ny the sincere Ainorican putriot. It is easily demonstrated thnt none of thoso terms can iustiv be implied to thu Kcpubli cun Purty, but they rightfully belong to its oiiponoiits.

Carried away with tho excitements of business, and choked by the euros and auxiotics of the world our braver and nobler impulses aro apt to be come sluggish a.ul inactive. Were this not so, how could we forget such stinging words as Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, addressed two years ago, to the Northern members of the House of Representatives, who protested nftainst tho passage of the Kansas Nebraska Bill. Said Mr. Stephens: "Well, cuntlciiicn, you make a ereat doal of clamor on the Nebraska measure, but it don't alarm us at all.

We have sot used to that kind of talk. Von havo threatened be fore but you have nerer iicrfortued. You have alwnvs earrd in, aud you. will nznin. You are amonthina trhite lirrml srl.

The news from Kansas which we give to day constitutes the bloodiest pago in the whole history of thvwar. We have the frightfnl intelligence that eighty Free State men, wo Mt and cniLDRBX wore massaored by the ruOane of Stranger Creek on the 3d inst. We should be glad to boloive that the account is a great exaggeration of the truth, did not probabilities scent to favor an opposite conclusion. Stranger Crock is about fifty or sixty mile' northeast of Lawrence toward the nebroska line, and lies upon tho ronto established by the late companies of emigrants who passed to the territory through Iowa. String fellow, at tho head of two or three hundred ruffians woe known to be prowling along the aorthern berdor to prevent the ingress of immigrants, and tie is bad enough to commit any deed however attrocious.

There was no permanent settlement at Strangor Creek of tho Dumber stated and if the massacre occurred ae'teported it is probable that the victims were a company ofsettlcrs who wero making tbeif way to some point eastward for protection. We await authentic particulars before trusting ourselves to comment uhu this wholesale massacre in terms befitting its enormity The reported attack upon Tecum soli by Lone is nut entitled to much consideration. It is an insignificant place at best and most of its inhabitants had left it some time since. The ruffians entertain a salutary fear of Lane, and our latest intcligeneo through the Missouri papers is to the effect that the army thai! had been mustering for an attack umjm Lawrenee was disorganised, most of those composing it having returned to Missouri in disgust with their officers nnd tho hardships to which they were exposed. If the writer whose letter wo quote in another column, be correut in stating that Gen.

Persifor Smith is completely identified with Atchison and his Blue Lodge gnng, nothing ejus be hoped from his cooperation with Gov. Geary, in his endeavors to restore a bettor state of things. Or Course. James Brooks of the New York Express, the organ, par excellence, of Mr. Fillmore, in this State, talked to the people in MkWlotown, ono evening last week, and among other things ho said that the "Soots ought to have K.i ms 1" Our information is derived from a gentleman who was present.

Now we admire on honest outspoke man, and wo cannot refrain from commending Mr. V. on this occasion, for thus giving utterance to the honest sentiments of Eis heart. Of courso, according to Mr. Fill more and the leaders of the American party, Kansas should bo givon up to tho slave power acid they mean it shall be too, if they can oeceed in drawing; after them a sufficient Dumber of the old Whig party, to throw away their votes on Fillmore, thereby greatly isMraasing the chances of Buchanan's election.

Can tho honest free soil members of the American party listen to such declarations of thair leading men, without halting and asking themselves whither they are tending? Uo they, too, think that the territory of Kansas, once solemnly to "Freedom, ought to be given up to tho South and be overrun by hordes of miserable aUtvus We do not, cannot believe it. Pro Slavert Pboscrhtiox. A 'recent umber of the "Richmond Enquirer" recommends strongly that Southern merchants form a resolution to pntronire in the Northern cites no merchant except such as arc'pro Slavc in their sentiments.

A Slaveholder writes a long letter to tho Now York Daily Times, from Atuluiitn, Georgia, emphatically enduring the noniiiiu tion of Fremont and Dayton, and expressing an earnest desiro for their election. Ho says that he is a permanent resident of Georgia, owns half a doscn fluvcs, was born in a Slave State, docs not believe tho people of the North wish to deprive him of his property, regards slnvcry as anything else than a blessing, thinks tho whole white rtico would be bappisr and better without it, and thus speaks Of tie esistence of a Fremont party at tho South "And at to the rmin5 ff a Fremont party in every Slav State, I do not hesitate to it eould be done with ease, if Mobs were out of the war.
