On the evening of the SOth, we went (o North Liberty, according to previc us notice, to discuss the issues involved in the present political campaign, We found, upon wiving at the place, that Republi-canism was in the "bleescd minority," so much so that it was doubtful hethi r a place could be obtained lo hold a meeting, fi... . i . . i , oi inter luoio nine aeiny a home was got and lighud up, and everything pre paratory to speaking arranged. In the mean time a respectuble crowd, in point of number', assembled around the door but when kindly invited to come in, they answered with lion id oaths, that they could hear the re and would not come in. Mr, Traycr told them flint lie would address them there if they would favor lim with their attention, and ihcy cried out "go on wo will listen." With this assurance th speaking began, but scarcely was the first Sentence finished when the drunken mob Commenced throwing stones on the house and bellowing as c elves, barking as docs and grunting as swine, ( nor was this the only point of semblance between them and the long r.os.d gentry) until Mr. Trsyei found it impossible to proceed with his re marks, and left the stand, first rcquestin the "Border Ruflwns" to come nnd occupy tbe time in defending their party, which tney refused, cursing him for giving tin invitation, Ai.er watting some moment; for order, at the urgent request of the Re publicans present (some four or five) Mr Ball took the stand and exended the invi tation to those out of doors to come in with which some fifteen or twenty com plitd. The rpeaking then commenced Ihe second lime, but with no be tter success than before, for after being frequently in terrupted by those in the house, Mr. Bui; was struck with an egg, thrown by scm villain out in the street. No attention wa paid to this insult, but the spjnkiog wa coniiDuea as otiore, ana another rgg was thrown at the speaker and s ruck the wall; this was also unnoticed, and the speaker proceeded with l is remarks until several ggs "ere thrown in at once, then at ill. suggestion of the Republicans, speaking-was abandoned, it being unsafe to proceed, bsset as we were by a mob of inc.nnnte devils. Having given up the idea of a meeting, we prepared to do what the Drvil never did, leave North Liberty, and while, we were standing in the door of the hou-e, a stone large cuuugh to inflict a fatal wound, was thrown violently toward us, strik ng near where we were standing; and as we passed from the drunken ciowd they bid us adieu by casting at us a volley of eggs and stones, only one of which accomplished the infernal purpose for whieh it was s.nt. : TLo mob, consis:ing of seventy or eighty persons, was composed of irdivid uals of all ngts, from boys to men of mature jear; and it is said that church mem bers, if not church fibers, were actively engaged in the iniqui ous work. Nor is this all, men who occupy a respectable standing in society lent the'r influence to this woik of perfidy and shame. Dr. Mo Ghuigblin, a very Urge corpulent man, (perhaps tbe result of taking too largely of whisky or eggs) it is suid took a promi- nent part in the shameful proceedings. But still worse, among others who aided or tacitly assented to this diabolical outrage was one Mr. Swaney.a Justice of the Peace, and Postmaster of tbo place. And this mock of Justice had expressed a desire to have some Republican speak there, pleJg ing his konoi (has he any to pledge?) that there should be no disturbance. Ob, shame where is thy blush I But time and space forbids our specifying all; however, we believe that Samuel Arnold, Wm.' Loss, Henry , Westenhaver, J. Loney, Mishey, Shelby and John Rimsey, all were to some extent engaged In the shameful outrage The last named is a resident of Indepen dence, Richland Couaiy, and an Ex Justice, and an aspirant after political honors, he deserving surely I We would add (hat the vote reeently published in the Banner, as occurring at a barn raiding, was taken it) this neighborhood. And now in con-elusion we ask the candid readers.whether he be Republican or Democrst, if he can find it in hit heart to endorse this shameful attack upon the rights of man. Shall tbe liberty of speech be thus crushed out, and mob-law and violence prevail? Shall men, vhile in lbs exercise of the rights secured to them by the constitution of. our common country, be ibns assailed and mob-ed by a drunken rabble ? Is this Democracy t We answer no I It is a low, mean, sdwardly.unpiincipled attack upon the liberty ojf spceob, and jus'.ly deserving of the scorn and contempt of community. We brand it at being the offspring of a contemptible degraded, abandoned, drunken, hell deserting parentage, and as such place it before the public, Laving them tj measure oi the retribution pf sharaaV Vi ; 2 ; -., . r' geokge tra yerv ' C C BALL' - SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY. We make a short extract from an address delivered a short lime since to the Alumni of S. Carolina College at Charles. Ion, by H. L. Tickering, Esq., thst our renders may see what ideas of Democracy are entertained in tbe De mocratic Siaio represented by Messrs. Butl r and Brooks : "The Free Siatcs aie tlio Northern De mocracies, rioting in the excess of an in discriminate freedom prodigals in liberty, but bankrupts in law where labor Is tlo valed to political power, and enjoys the same political privileges with the capi at llint employs it, Riv.tls in every feeling of interest and hope, and brought intocon-slant and angry competition at the ballot-b ix. tho veiy foundations of society are rocked by the ci ash, and the proprieties ol government itself disturbed by the throes of this lii.heno unknon element. History furnishes no example of a repubic, io which the mere opera ive class i he mere laborers of the Commonwealth lave ever bei u elevated to the same poliical lei el with its intelligence and capital. The He-lo s and the Servii of the ancient Rt-pub lies e njoyed no civil power : the villains and the bondmen of the feu Inl nges poi jessed no political frnnchin j the apprentices of no modern nation are admitted to 'he rank of citizen; ami no State can hope to preserve h. r inugrity that opens her bo om to such discordant forces. The Southern States, on the contrary, are Republics, dwelling under a balanced system of regul.eted freedom, where labor is not arranged with hostile front lo capital, not armed with power to revolutionize the State; but where, while the natural rights of each pary are secured by law, the concord ol mutual dependence and reciprocal interest estao ishes sy mpathy between these appa rent rivals, and insures lo the engines ol government the sin ngth of proportion and rmony ot ac;ion. Wi h what ccorn docs he deride the idea that "mere laborers" should be elevated to the si. me political level with "intelli gence and capital."

The Latest Newt from Eamar Is that the Ruffian Grand Jury were finding indictments for murder against the Free State prisoners, whose trial was to commence immediately. These Free Sate prisoners charged, and we presume on trial for murder, were guilty of no crime but attacking a crowd of murderous marauders, who were slaughtering and impoverishing them. Up all the murderers whose hands have bee reddened in the blood of men who wished to make Kansas a Free State, not one has betnr arsested. Remember this. liappily, the real murderers and horse thieves in Kansas, those who shout loudest about law and order, are now on trial before a jury of the whole eountry. Shall the verdict be, that the innocent shall go free, and pace and freedom prevail, or that the murderers shall be sustained as the rulers in tbs rand. Cincinnati Com' menial. Pretty Good, Said one of our speakers (he other evening, the old liners were very much disturbed because our preachers will persist in preaching politics. Why, says be, whenever they reason of rigldoune.t, the old liners set it down-that they are preaching against slavery, and in favor, of the restoration of the Missouri Compromise. Whenever they reason of lemptranet they think they are preaching in favor of the prohibitory liquor law. And whenever i hey rcaoa in favor of judgment to-eome, they are keen to swear the pveather is talking about the October election.

On his wits we say, for he is as averse to labor as any either. faouthe rners often work in the fi Id nnd cnirnue in all kinds of independent manual lat)r. But the yai,lee, much a-he lauds labor, is the last unn in the world to undertake it, if he can possibly .avoid it. At home he munuges for a tniio lo command the labor of newly nrrived emigrants They build his roads, sweep his etrcets, till his fields ai.d wail upon his table. At the South, by dint of his wits he ehiiks work, and manages to go halves with the master in the resul's of negro slave labor. The North's hatred lo toreigners, slaveholders nnd Slave States, is very unreasonable; since (hey are the subjects out of which iSoithei i.eis extract a living, without resorting to hnrd work. Few Southerners migrate to an old free S nte. Free socio ty lully established is the practical exclu stem ol till persons, as citizens, from Have society.

But, un less he permits Slavery greatly lo expand and immigration to increase, he mu9 change his habits ur staive.

Without a rapid extension of Slaveiy and a great iucrease ol immigintion, a comparison of the census for fit) years of America nnd Europe shows that (he North must starve to death nnd go niked. S'nve la bor throughout all ages has been the only ii v iluble larming I., bor, and human nature is now just what it has ever been. The north is vitally interest! d in the extension of Shivery, and cannot for her life, suggest a plausible argumect against tuch extension.As a matter of policy nnd humanity as well as ol cluislian duty, all Patriots, good men and Christians North and South sho'd protest ngaicst extending an inch a form ol society ehat is only prolific of crime, hun- yer, nakedness, infidelity, rcvolu ion nnd civil war. It has become so much a habit of mind everywhere to look on universal liberty ns a Good, and Slavery as nn Evil that even Southerners uwakt ncd to day, to the tolly nnd laistty of tuch opinions, unconsciously relapse into them to morrow. Over and over acia we have drawn the picture of free society. Again nnd pgain have we npptaled lo history, lo statistics, nnd lo the udmissions even of abt li ionitts to sustain our' assertions. Often have we defied contradiction. Repeatedly have we ntked the North "has not the experiment of universal liber ty failed?" Are not the evils of free so-cieiy insufferable? And do not most thinking men among you propose to subvert and reconstruct h? Still no answer. This gloomy silence is another conclusive proof, added to- many other conclusive evidences we had furnished, that fiee society in the lung run is an imprac icable form of socie ty; it is everywhere starving, demoralized, infidel, insurrectionary, maibiHidT Living in its midst Mr. Carlyle utters Ibe thought ot nil, "we must nave a new world u we are to have any world at all!" Even wc of the South were (aught to revere (bis form of society which stands now a confessed failure. It is hard, very hard to divest oui selves of early opinions. Hence Ihe necessity on our part as faithful sentinels of the South to thunder these truths, again and again in the ears of our people. S3T The habits of their minds, tbe ruts in which their thoughts have been want to run, render It very difficult U give constant and practical acceptance to the astounding facts, which history, statistics, and sociology are daily devolving. We repeat then, that policy, humanity and Christianity, alike forbid the extension of tbe evils of free society to new people and coming generations. ,':.

In r climate and her labor, has found it (and will ever find it) to her advantage, it the North will be jus-to her, lo buy manufactured articles anil foreiyn merchandize fiom the North, and to employ Northern shipping. England avoids war with us, avowedly because she cannot dispense with 'he products of our slave labor. Our North is dependent upon us as England is, nnd in a hundred ways in which England is not. Unit ss she should come under the rule ol the mad. senseless and desperate moh.ti ere is nu danger of disunion. She and England are as mucn slaveholders, so lar as i rotit or convenience is concerned, as we. They live chiefly from the products of slave labor, wiih'iut having the trouble nod re sponsibility of managing and Inking care of the negroes. All sensible men at the JNorth understand this. But we write for the especial b nefit of the ciOHktng old fogies of the SohiIi. who see in slavery only an apple of discord. tthout slavery there would be no mu tuality of iuteiestrno dependenee between North and South. Slavery, and nothing but slavery, has preserved our Union so far.or can preserve it hereafter. Without this institution, there would be no good reason for keeping to gether ti confederation so inconveniently large. p in How the Fillmore Men acted in Indiana The Louisville Journal, of Saturday says: We were inclined lo hope, that, as between Morton and Willnrd, the friends of Fill more in Indiana would support the former, but we learn that the mass ol them did not. We have seen a good many of them since the election, who did not vote at all. Very many of them refused lo vote, and our nformation, strongly confirmed by circum stances-, is that, of those who did vote, quite as many voted for Willard as for Moron, and probably more. Ii is observable that in those counties where Fillmore's greatest Irength lies, Willard made his greatest gains.

S. C. Pomeroy and Mr. Perry, also of that place, left Osceola.Iowa, whither they had proceeded by two routes, on the 27th Sept. for Nebraska City. Thev crowed the river al the latter place, and on ine in ol Uctobertook their march lor ihe Territory. They crossed the south line of Nebraska and entered Kansas on the mor ning of the llKh, when three or four miles in tho latter Territory, were met nnd surrounded by a band of 600 or 700 Ui.i- ted btati s troop dragoons, artillery and iufantry with six pieces of cannon, acting as ihe pot see of Di puly Marshal Preston, and were disarmed nnd taken Drisoners. in di fiance of all their constitutional rights and without any process of law, real or pretended 1 The leaders of the train were warned of the presence of this body of men ; but relting upon the lights which are guaranteed Hem its American citi zens nnd upon the promise tif protection given them by Gov. Geary, they had no reason to suspect that they would be interrupted in this violent and illegal manner, aim nrnce took no pains lo avoid by flight or to resist by force ibis piratical army until Ihey found themselves fully in their power. When the trr.in was stopped, it was proceeding as it hud proceeded thro' Iowa, wi, bout military organization, without militaiy officers, the wagons scattered in a line of two miles in length over the prairie, and the men, in t quads, some wiih, but nearly all without arms, were walking by the side of the learns. There was no pretence that it was n military band, none that the men were organized for offensive purposes, none that they had committed any crime lor which they had laid themselves liable, by just inierpreiauon of any a v, to arrest. But a search of the wag-ens was ordered by Preston, who by the way, is a spiig of a lawyer just from Vir glum, who accepted the appointment of D puty Marshall for the special purpose of ine enp'ure 01 1111s ernin. ana wnen it wan ascertained by overhauling the contents of wngons that there were less than twe rounds of ammunition lor each gun that all ti.e powder was contained in one keg nnd that for there 260 men there was a k'g partly full of cartridges made up for the use of the night guard, it was decided that this was nn invading army and that it mint bt put under arrest. The leaders of il,u train had tub n the precaution to send two men around by the Mis8iuri river, when the main party left Mt. Pleasant, to explain to the Govennr the number, objects and cendition of the men. An interview with him resulted in ihe promise, on his part, that the men should be protected, and to evincn his np parent earnestness, he gave Mr. Morrow, one of the messengers, ihe letter of safe conduct which is embodied in the statement of the pri-onera that we publish be low. This letter was sent by express and met the train at Nebraska City, and armed with it, the leaders apprehended no danger of interruption or detention. When the command stop was given, this letter of Gov. Geary's was produced, but it was not satisfactory (o the Virginia law yer acting by bis command. He declined to accept it as a pass, nnd ordered the search lobe made. To this the emigrants demurred, and asked for an escort, that they might go at once to Lecompton, and give the Governor the opportunity of judging himself whether they were or were not a he stile army. This request was denied on prett nee that the force was not sufficient that the men for the escort could not bu spared. The search was conducted by breaking open their brxvs, tiunks, nnd valises, hauling out the contents of (he wagons, ih lowing beds, clothing, nnd cooking utensils into the mad, and (rumpling them under their ftet. It had the result that we have stated, and no other, except that a box o' ten Sharpu's rifles snd a box of two dozen revolvers, going through ns freight, and paid for as such by their owner, who was taking them in to sell, were bi ought to light. Here was treason. Here wasrebellion.- The nrms those ten guns in boxes and the Hull's rifles belonging to the meni together with the cne keg ol powder and one half keg of enrtrideges were seized and packed in a United States wag on, and placed under guard, and the men were then arrested and marched off toward Topcka, where they have probably by this lime arrived. It is probable thai, now they are robbed of all means of defense, of h . j . iiicir nones ana provisions, iney win oe put npon tiial for murder, or some other offense easily conjured up under that Missouri Kansas code.

We protested against any detention er search as a violation of our constitutional rights, and the spirit of Gov. Geary's letter. We admitted that we werq thoroughly armed, and stated that Gov.

The train was orde red to start, bin immediately for cibly stopptd. neither bur protest nor Gov. Geary's letter being respected. The wag ons were then searched, and all arms found io them taken away. During the search, trunks nnd valises were toru and broken open, the beds of families were thrown out in the rain, and tramped in the mud the ladies being treated with inexcusable rudeness.After this was done they offered to escort us to Gov. Geary, on condition that the leaders Dledired themselves to keen eveiy man ith the train. This h iving neither right nor power to do, they refused; telling them that when they had taken from us all that they wanted, we would lake care of ourselves.

Lftst Thursday when fnrit Trd (rode under the great "Buchnneer and Breckinridge' fltg, which was chimed to be Ihe largest in (lie country, the wind, which had been blowing steadily from the South, suddenly whirled, and seizing the lower easterly end, upon which Was painted in Urge letters, '"Buchanan ti Breckiw ridge," lore out, clean as though it was' cm, a piece 01 tne nag, two or three yards square, iucluding nearly half of Bieckin'-ridge's nenie. Then, having lifted the Vered piece in the air as rf to show it to the people assembled, it rtlddenly droppicdf ft within a lew ket of General Pierce. A minute after, it again seized the main flag and swinging it aloft like a whip lash, if stripped it from bottom- lo top. Not Con tent, wili that, it very soon applied its Titan fingers to the name of "Buchanan," nnd one half of that, too, disappeared. Sundry other ominous antics were played. such aa w inding 01 e end of the fragments erf ihe ff ig about the pole nnd swaying its wind-filled belly to and fro, like a vessel anchored upon a lolling sea, The happiest part of the omen remaina" to be told. Ab. ve the names of "Buchanan and Breckinridge," Were painted also, in large letteis, "The ConstUutiou and tlio' Union." And although the flag was literally '01 n to tatters, leaving not a wreck of "Bucket: Breck" behind, "The CWitu tion nnd the Union" rode safely through, the storm, and not single letter was lox or defaced, It was a singularly hopeful omen, whose lesion shall nerve the aims and encourage the hearts of the friends of the Constitution, the Uuion and Freedom, to make lis augury an accomplished fact. 1 .1 a rerry, i. 1 u ti A Uaul y.

By dint of great labor and perre-rerance. the worl was'cofipFeted, Monday forenoon, and it was arranged to raise it simultaneously with the arrival of Gen, Pierco from Andover, Mass. where he bad: . been to spend Sunday.

But as if taking com passion on the almost broken-hearted toil-ers, this time.it contented itself with seizing' he flag more gently, when about halfay up, and winding it around the eastern pole' upon which it was suspended, and there defying all efforts lo raise it a foot farther. Alter repealed efforts, all of which were fruitless, despair seized the Hunker koste Curses, cot loud but deem were uttered:. the great Aug was again lowered to tbe ground, nnd "Buchanan and Breckenridgo" were carried by mourning friends to their "long home."
