Fctober 24, 1856. OF ADVERTissuESTS SWOULD UH LAYT aT THE Ovvice BY Twsivs o'ctock, M.; OTUKRWISE TREY MAY NOT APPEAR Stu THE MEXT DAY. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer publishes, with evident gratification, the Southside Democrat’s re- pudiation of certain sentiments which, being currently ascribed to it by the anti-slavery press, were copied intoits (the Jnte/ingencer’s) columns recently with the same credit The forged paragraph, it will be remembered, is as follows : 4 ; “We have got to /ating everything with the prefix free, from free negroes down and up through the whole catslogue—/ree farms, free labor, free society, free will, free think- ing, free psy oa and free schools—all be- Jong g to the same brood of damnable zsms Bat the worst of all these abominetions is the modern system of free schools. * * * We abominate the system Jecanse the echools are free.’” Of it, the Southside Democrat says: “While this paper is not designated by name, it is well known that the language above bas been attributed tous. We have before stigmatized the charge asa base and stupid slander, manufactured out of whole oloth by the New York Herald. Wenow have to ask the editors of the National Intelligen ver, who we cannot suppose intended to do us injustice, to make the proper correction.”’ he Union pulalishes the following interest- ing and important letter from Gov. Geary cf Kansas, proving that peace now reigns in Kan sas: Execotive DerartMent, Lecompton, K. T., Oct 10, 1856. Sm: Your letter of the 23d ultimo, in rep'y to mine of the 9th, and your telegraphic des- pateh of the 27th ultimc, in reply to my letter of the 16th, were both received on the evening of the Sth instant. Despatches forwarded since the dates of those acknowledged have informed you that ace and quiet have been restored to the Ferritory. Rot only have ail large armed bodies of men been dispersed but the smaller bands of marauders been driven off The roads are travelled with safoty, and dwelling: are secure from intrusion For upwards of two weeks no outrages have been authenti- cally reported. Many notorious and treuble- some agitators clai ning to belong to ail parties, bave left the Territory, and the beneficent iu fluence of their absence is being already very sensibly felt. The troops sent to the north have not yet returned. It is my purpose to leave on the northern frontier a eonsiderable force for its protection; and the remainder of the troops will be employed to guard such other pointe as may feem to require it I shull shortly proceed in person with a small hody of men to the southern portion of the Territory, io pursuit of a gang of thieves who are said to be pillaging that region.

Wipviriziy’s New Coox Boos. or Practical Receipts for the Housewife Philadelphia T.B Peterson For sale in this city by Taylor & Maury. We recommend this book to the attention of housekeepers, as unquestionably one of the best cock books ever published. The author- ess, Mrs. Hannah Widdifield, was celebrated for nearly fifty years esacake and pastry baker in Philadelphia, and every receipt has been tested in her own house. Une great recommendation to this work is, that the re" ceipts are not of a characterso extravagant as to be beyond the reach cf housekeepors of moderate means, as is the case with too maby modern cock bovk:. “Tae Catnoric Cucrcm ix tae Usitep States, and Sketch of its Ecclesiastical Hie- tory,’ by Henry De Courey. author of ‘ Les Servants de Dien en Canada.’ &c. Trans- lated and enlarged by Jobr Gilmary Shea, author of ‘Discovery and exploration of the Mississippi,”’ &c. This is an interesting history work, much of its contents being original. It contaius |n account of the early French and Spon ish missions among the native Indian tribes of our country; the formation and eubse- quent growth of the Catholic Hierarchy in the United States; biographical sketches of eminent pergons, and the documentary history of the recent missicn of Mousigneur Bedini to the United States.

The personal history cf this remarkable lady, who intro duced the Sisters of Charity into this country, cannot fail to be a valuable addition to the literature of America.

People of Maryland !—We regret that the Baltimore Sun has considered it due to its character of neutrality to give the force - circulation to the infamous and insidious un- truths embodied in the Black Republican address to the people of Maryland, and the electoral ticket which they have had the im- pudence to attach to the document. The Black Republicans having been de- nounced as avowed sectionalists, because they had no electoral ticket in any Southern State, published the names of certain disappointed followers of Cassius M Clay as their ticket in Kentucky. Forthe same purpose they Jurked the names of certain members of the Virginia Legislature, who speedily and with great in- dignation, rebuked the unwarrantable forgery. These frauds answered their purpose until after the Pennsylvania election. With the same object they have—under the auspices of Mr. F. P. Blair, who modestly pledged the com- merce of Baltimore to the support of Fremont —iseued an address to the people of Maryland, and nominated an electoral ticket in that State. The effect of this publication by the Sun at this time, will be to enable the Black Repub- licans to rebut the charge of sectionalism by pointing to their address and ticket in Mary land, Virginia, and Kentucky, and by claim- ing, upon the authority of John M Bottr, Henry Winter Davis and other Southern Black Republican party leaders, a strong and growing support for Fremont in the Southern States. Is it not the duty of the Sun to accompany this publication with a correct statement of the weakness of Fremont in Maryland, and with the fact that Baltimore is the chief mar- ket city of the South, dependent upon South- ern States for her access to the West, ber out- let to the ocean, and for the chief demand for her fablics, and also with the declaration that she has no affiliations with nor sympathy for the revolutionary and fanatical party which, under the names of Freedom and Fremont, would mislead her citizens and destroy her interests. Ths Dromios —The New York Trriune, aware of the utter folly of longer venturing to brave, on tho strength of the denial of John C. Fremont alone, the force of the affidavit’ and other statements of the multitude of re- apectable and well known persous who have testified to facts proving, beyond all question, his (Fremont’s) former connection with the Church of Rome, haa at length been com- pelled, in answer to the thousand letters of inquiry it says its conductors have received on the subject, to publish a pamphlet designed to show that there were two Fremonts in the army, and that the Fremont who was the Catholic is Sewell L Fremont, now of Wil- mington, North Carolina Thus, the Tribune admits that one Lieutenant Fremont, of the United States army, wasa Roman Catholic, as asserted by so many respectable persons, but claims that it was the Lieutenant Fremont who stands six feet in his siockings, weighs some two hundred pounds, and has blue eyes and light, (sandy) hair, and a complexion to match - not its dapper little Mr. Fremont, five feet eight inches high, weighing one hundred pounds and a chew of tobacco, with long jet- black hair and eyes, and a swarthy complex- ion. The Zviiune essays to fasten Catbolicity upon the former only on the asseveration of one “Judge Peters,’’ of this (Washington) city, who avers that, having been intimately acquainted with Loth the Lieutenants Fre- mont, he knows well that Sewell L wes the Roman Catholic, while John Charles never Was one. Mr Sewell L. Fremont publishes, over his own signature, not only that he never was a Catholic, but that he knows no one in this city named Peters—judge or aught else. It becomes a question of no little interest to the public of Washington particularly, to as- certain who the Judge Peters may be, who, claiming to reside kere, has undertaken after @ fashion to fix the Roman Catholic saddle on the wrong horse in this instance. Though born and bred in this vicinity, and though knowing, as we believe quite as many of the good people of Washington, white and black, as any other one mau in its limits, we certainly never before heard of a “Judge Peters of Washington city,” nor have we after diligent inquiries been able to find any one who knows any such person. We, therefore, conclude that he is simply a man of straw, created to accom- modate the pressing strait of the cause of the Republican party. If there ve such a man here, Ly all means let us know who be is— where he came from—what be was there, ke , fe ,—s> that the public may comprehend what amount of credence is due to his agsev- eration to the Koman Catholicity of the big Fremont by way of relieving the little Fre- mont from that now weighty charge. Our own opivion is, that no one in Washington knows any wore of a “ Judge Peters of Washington city” than Sewell L. Fremont does; and he de- clares, it will be remembered, that he has no Scquaintance whatever with avy one named Peters in this city, though the ‘“'ribune’s quandam Washington city Judge claims to have Leen iutimate with the afuresaid Sewell L. Fremont! On the whole, the V'ridune has certainly got up a capital comedy of errors— @ close parody on the two Dromios—in its effort to extricate its beloved John Charles from the effect of the overwhelming proof of a host of respectable witnesses that he has de. liberately made a false statement in pretend- ingthat he was not at one time a seeming eurnest Roman Catholic. But who it Judge Peters of Washingt no city? Where did he come from? What were his antecedents ere he came here that entitle his testimony to credence, on the strength of his alleged intimacy with both John Charles and Sewel! L , in the face of the declaration of the latter that he knows no man in Wash ington city named Peters” Senator Clayton. —We understand that Dr. le Young of this city was summoned yee- torday afternoon to attend Senator Clayton in Delaware, last train has for m: Clayton city.

We want a third to beat in New York. Wake Greeley up.—Albany Argus. There are rumors in Boston that Mr. Appiec- ton will decline the nomination for Congress, and that the Democrats of the District have decided upon a regular nominstion On Tuesday the Democrats of Norfolk, Va , celebrated their triumph in Pennsylvania, In- diana aud Florida by firing two hundred guns, and at night having a torchlight procession and speeches. The Democrats of Shrewsbury, York county, Pa., had a handsome illumination and grand torehlight procession on Monday evening, in honor of the late triumph in Pennsylvania and Indiana The Montgomery (Va) Herald, a Fillmore paper, repudiates the sentiments of a speech lately delivered by the Hon. John M. Botts, and demands that his name be stricken from the electoral ticket. The bad moral effect of ‘the other Fre- mont’? story is already apparent. Huntinz- ton, the forger, puts in as a defence, that there is another firm of that name in Front street, and that the forged paperis genuine. This bogus firm, it is said, was established by Hun- tington himeelf Bennett acknowledges that the Democrats have gained forty-two members of Congress as far as heard from, in the States where the elections have already taken place, with the almost certain prospect of greatly adding to the list of gains in the elections yet to come off. The Union must and shall be preserved. It appears that the Democrats of Ohio have increased their vote in thirty-three counties beard from nearly 10,000, the Republicans have increased theirs 13.500, while the Fill- more vote has fallen off some 800 The total increase of votes thus far is about 23,000 Re- rorted returns from all the counties in the State show that the Republiean majority in the State will be about 18,000, not 30,000 cr 40,000, as at first reported. ‘The Charleston (S C } Courier says: ‘* The New York Times is speculating on the signifi- cancy of the fact that the Hon W. Porcher Miles, ‘ the American candidate for Congress from Charleston, has been clected’ he ‘ significancy’ is all due to the telegraph; Mc Miles is not an American in the party sense, bor was the issue denoted by that party term, made in the election The candidates sut- stantially agreed in Federal politics. We have a few returns of the election in Minnesota on the 14th inst., for members of the Territorial Legislature and local officers The St. Paul Democrat says that three Demo- erats—Chamblin, Murray and Costello—ard two Republicans—Branch and Ramsey—were elected to the Legislature, the Democrats car- rying nearly ali the local officers. The Ke- ublicans havo elected their ticket in the J and 11th council districts. Dakota county, it is rumored, returns two Democrats. Scoville, of the New York State Register, (Fremont) is dissatisfied with the result of the late State elections He quotes the motto. ‘eternal vigilance isthe price of liberty,’’ and adds: ‘We begintothinkso. Thelate elections in Pennsylvania and Indiana are quite enough, under all the circumstances, to make sleepy the best kind of vigilance, and to disgust us with the high price of liberty, and every other marketable commodity.” The Newburyport Herald, of Monday, says: “Anson Burlingame and N. P. Banks have returned from their political labors abroad, aud are to stump their own districts. Burlin- game’s district is said to be in some doubt, since the Fillmore men are stronger in that district than elsewhere in this State, and will readily fraternize with the Whigs and Demo- orats upon Mr. Appleton. Mr. Banks will nut find a strong opposition in Col. Wright; but he would no doubt like to have a pretty em- phatic endorsement from his friends at home, now that the chance of his re-election to the Speakership is gone."’ The following advertisement bas been raked up by some industrious scarcher among old newspapers, from a file of a New York city paper: Colonel Fremont's Nondescript, or Woolly Horse!

Stme of the banks, it now appears, have discounted a portion of the forged paper. PRESBYTERIANISM AND SLAVERY IN CANADA. Tho Presbyterian Church in Canada, in Synod ' assembled, has enjoined its Presbyteries to be { | careful, in admitting to fellowship Presbyte rian ministers from the United States, to ex- amine them on the subject of Slavery, and to be satisfied before receiving them that their views accord with the resolution passed by the Synod in 1851 and 1853, asserting non-fellow- ship with slavebolders. > That is a beautiful figure of Winthro in reference to our constitution, where he say “Like one of those wondrous rocking stones raised by the Druids which the finger of a cbild might vibrate to the centre, yet the might of an army could net move from its place, cur constitution is so nicely poised that it seems to sway with the very breath of pas- sion, yet so firmly based in the hearts and af- fections of the people, that the wildest storms of treason and fanaticism break over it in vain” Revision or tae Brste.—The subject of the revision of the present English translation of the Bible continues to receive considerable a'tention in England. The London Times has published two long letters by the Rev. Dr, ummings, in the second of which he con- trasts, by extracts, the authorized translation with the Douay and Rheims versions, the Unitarian Im Testament, and some of the recent is of the American Bible Union, und concludes by saying that, besides display. ing literary inferiority, the Douay or Rheims translation is inspired by a Romish bias, the craig big trerkad s aeegae Union by a Bar 7 he Mationalistic bias, and the ‘‘{mpro Version’’ by @ Unitarian bias. a Hires Gives would remain under the curse of a ath when by using the * Balm ee ah Flowers” as a dentrifioe would pot only render it swoct but loave the tecth white as alabaster’ \y persons do not know their breath is bad, and the eubject is go delicate their friends will never mention it.

Tus Breav Mcsr se Cur —The Missouri synod of the Lutheran church have had before them the all-momentous inquiry whether the bread at the communion table must be cut or broken! After several days of prayerful con- sideration and the most solemn debate, it was decided that it was heterodox to break the bread, and that it must hereafter be cut by the minister into small pieces. Now that the all important question is settled, we sappoce that there will be harmony in the Church—at least in Missouri. Seriously: should not church members reflect that hair-splitting (of which the above is a fair example,) hus the tendency to keep many out of the church, who would otherwise become active members of it? “Hien Lire Bauow Sratrs.’’°—A letter writer from San Franciseo, California, says that $40 per month are common wages for fe- male domestics there.
