So when the rebels, by making war upon the government, put into the hands of the President thts power over slavery, what was the President to do but to exercise the power by breaking every yoke and letting the opprossed go free?

A large portion of bis speech was made up of compari- sons between the Chicago and Baltimore platiorms. Charles Samner on the Canv: At the republican ratification meeting at Faneuil Hatt, Boston, iast night, Charles Sumuer made a lengthy speech, from which we make the following extracts:— 1 do not speak to-night in the belief that anything in the way of speech—from me or anybody else—can add to the Certuinty that Abraham Lincoln will be re-elected President of the United States. This event is already fixed beyond all doubt or question, It is the clear, pal pable, visible will of the American people, which only waits the official record of the 8th November next. * * © * Therecan bé no third party now, whether in the name of moderation or in the name of progress—ae ‘there can be no third party between right and wrong— Detween good and evil—between the Almighty Throve and Stan.

All of them are children except Miss Roper, a lady of about eighteen. The Indians still hold Mrs. Ubanks, Mrs. Marble and child, but promised to give them up.

(From the St. Louts Democrat. | From Louis A. Qunnlagham and other Union men rect from Keyteaville, Chariton county, we learn th particulars of the bloody affair which hae just attracted Attcntion tb that quarter. The eccurrences at that point bring out in strong light tho designs of the robel lexders now in Missouri, and we therefore have teken pains to gather them as fully aud accurately as possible It would appear that they consider their policy to ombrace ious, How they hope to succeed in the former is shown by the details givea alow. Chariton county, in which these affairs occurred, it will be reollected,’ is the former place of resideuce of General Sterling Price, of the Confederate army, uear relative to General T. L. Price, democratio candidate for Governor. fhis fact may possibly help to explain some of the events to which we refer. Tn the first place, to understand the matter, it must be known that three companies of militia were organized and armed in Charitou county, under General Rosecraa’s Order No, 107, As @ decided majority of the people of that county were disloyal at the outset, and bave not wholly changed for the better, it was an easy matter to control the organiza which it appears they dt ‘The committee of safety selected ropre- ‘AS @ consequence the troops e mostly what bave been knowv as paw- not fail to do. sents mainly that element. od ville, the county seat, leaving the command to one Lieutenant Pleyer. last Tuesday, the 20th, early in the morning, the alarm was given that the bushwhackers were about to attack the town, and moat of the Union people fled to the woods. The alarm was well founded, as some @fty or sixty guerillas, under the notorious ‘Thratikill, soon entered the place. The fifty militiamen the Court House, protected by strong brick walls barricaded windows aud furnished with plenty $ and ammunition, Nevertheless they surren- dored without firing a shot. 1! were at once paroled, anil were soon on such good terms with the guerilias that six of them concluded to join their band. Uther recruits were obtained in the place, including a son of ove of the members of the county committee under Order 107, who had before two sons in the rebel service. Upon entering the town Thrailkill took oceasion to an- pounce that as the moat of the inhabitants were under. stood tobe sound, they would not be disturbed. His band, however, visited the residences of all prominent radicals, announcing their purpose to kill them. Nearly all paving fled, word was left for them that they had to make themselves scarce beore the election. But all of the Univn men of Keyteaville were not lucky enough to escape. Robert Carmon and Willlam Young were found and killed, The former was sheriff of the county and the latter had been noted as a Union scout and apy. Both were over sixty years of age, Setting tire to the Court House, containing most of the county records, Thrailkill retired from the town without mo- ion. @ matter of justice t should be stated that Lieut, er, commanding the militia, is said to have end ored to get his men to fight the guerilias, but they fused. With some of them and the bushwhackers there appeared to be a perfect understanding Mr. Cunningham, one of our informants, travelled forty miles on toot, through the brush and byroads, to reach the railroad. Approaching a house by the way to get a drink of water, be found it occupied by a squad of bush- whackers, who were dancing and baving a generally jolly time. That whole section of country ts full of gueriliae or men from Price's army, a majority of, the people being in full sympathy with or overawed by them. They opealy boast that they are organized to clean the radicals out. Reliable intelligence from Lexington, Missourl, indi- fearful state of things in that part of tbe country. never 80 active as at present. Ow Friday of last week ove hundred and fifty bushwhackers, under David Voole and William Anderson, crossed the Missouri river at or near Hill’s Landing. They went into Ray county, and having murdered « number of people, ix citizeos acting as a guard at one time, they then pro- ceeded in the direction of Carroliton, Carroll county. On last Saturday, ag we learn by letter from a reliable party, "bree bundred rebels, under command of one Todd, } crossed the river into Ray county, near Napoleon, and at last accounts near Richmond. ‘Tbe Untou men tn and about Lexington are greatly dis. heartened, and many of them are preparing to leave for some safer locality. The threat is openly made by the guerillas that the radicals must get out of the country before the election, and in this they are believed to be encouraged by resident conservatives and traitors, be- tween woom and the bushwhackers such a good feeling appears to prevail that the former are unmulested by the latter, To aggravate the difficulty in the quarter re ferred to, the rict is under command of Colonel James McFerran, copperhead candidate for secretary of State on the General T 1.
