As (Ji.iberti was neither an infidel nor a Protectant, but, on the contrnrv, a Ml conscientious Roman Catholic priest, his opinions on this subject must have the greatur weight. THE AIMS OF THE BLACK REPUB LICAN PARTY. Who nre its lendors ? Confessedly, Seward. Hale. Sumner, Wade, biddings, Wilson, and a beet of aide men, who have announced themselves life misionarits for the extirpation of slavery ! They are the men who buried the Whig party : who dissolved the Know Korhhag order, and absorbed it into the lllack Republican orgai Jation : and who now seek to crash the national Democracy, so that there may be an barrier henceforth beta ma them and their Southern victim. What are tin ir purposes ? Let Sew aid answer : 'Slnverv is not and never can be per petual. It will be overthrown cither pcuce fully and lawfully under this Constitution, or it will wo;k the subversion of the Con stitution, together with its. own overthrow. Then the shoe-holders would perish in the trnggk." How shall ti e riave-holders perish in the struggle Let Giddings answer: i look fitrward to the day when there shall be a s n ih in-iirrection in the South : whoa the black man, armed with British bayonets and led on by British officers, I -hall assert id- freedom and wage a war of , extermination against hh master: when the ; torch of the Incendiary shall light up the I towns and ; it it of the South, and blat out the last ve.-tige of slavery. And though I mav not mock at their calamity nor laugh when their fear Cometh, yet I will hail it as the dawn of a political millenium. Hear Senator Wade of Ohio : There is really no union now between the i noti then we demand to know whether Fill North and the South, and he believed no i more 6 ,1(,t condemned by the same stand two nations upon the earth entertained . a,.j ? Xs Fillmore in favor of the extension feelings of more bitter rancor towards each other than these two nations of the Repuh- ,ic. The only salvation of the Union ; therefore was to be found in divesting it entirely from all taint of slavery." Hear Spaulding : 'In the case of the alternative being presented of the continuance of slavery or the dissolution of the Union, I am for dis solution, and I care not how quick it comes. Hear Senator Wil.-on : I tell you here to-night that the agita tion of this question jpf human slavery w ill continue while the foot of a -lave presses the soil of the American Republic." Hear I'arson Beecber : Two trreat powers that will not live to- gether are in our midst and tagging at each J ther'8 throats. They will search each Other out though you separate them a bun- I dred times. And if by an insane blindness ; you shall contrive to put off the issue and i send this unsettled dispute down to your ! children, it will ea down. trutherinL' volume j and strength at every step, to waste and desolate their heritage. Let it be settled now. Senator Wilson is reported to have said, as far back as October, Lao., in a speech at the Tabernacle, in New York : 'We shall change the Supreme Court of United States, and place men in that Court who believe with its pure and immaculate UUiet Justice, John Jay, that our prayers will be impious to Heaven, while we sustain and support human slavery." And Simon Brown, of Massachusetts, tells his people, whilst a candidate for their suffrages that 'The object to lie accomplished is this : That the Free States shall take posses sion of the Government by their united rotes. Minor interests and old party affi liations and prejudices must be forgotton. We have the pow er in number ; our strength is in union." Should a party thus officered triumph in this election, will the South submit ? This is the question of the day. The Way the South Supports the SOUTH. The Mobile Tribune of Septem ber 38th has the following very sensible ar tide, the truth of which the Southern whole sale merchants have full reason to know from experience. "So bent has the South been in making its purchases in the Northern cities, that actually goods manufactured in Rich mond and Petersburg have been sent on to New York and there sold to Southern mer chants, who could have got them at lower prices and saved freight by purchasing lu re but who refused them in order to make nil their purchases at one place. We have been told here that even the goods manufactured on the Alabama Biver, at Prattsville, Alabama, have to be first sent to New York before Mobile and New Or leans merchants will purchase them. In this case, the planter, of course, who con sumes the article, pays an additional price for the freight to New York, then a profit to the New York agent, then the freight back, and all this for the convenience of the merchant." Wr.sTF.nx Virginia. Tho Wheeling Argus thus indignantly denounces the charge id' Freesoilism which is sometimes urged against the people of Western Vir ginia : It is time our people were set right in this regard. They are grossly abused when it is said thev are freesoilized. All the Henry Winter Davises and John Minor Bottscs in the United States cannot tuir- snndo them from the line of duty; cannot drive them from their devotion to the laws and constitution of their country or make them forget their duty to themselves.

The Richmond Whig pretends it has made the great discovery, from the Lan caster Intelligencer, that Buchanan is not in favor of the extension of slavery. We do not remember evr seeing any one who claimed that he was in favor of the exten- sion ; inn wom mi; oriuuunui, ' affirm of him and can maintain is, that Buchanan is in favor of permitting the South to enjoy her constitutional rights, utid will protect her in them. This is all the South asks and expects of any one. The Democratic party North and South, do contend for the principle of letMng the people decide in obedience to the Consti tution, whether they will have slavery in organizing States or not, no matter what may be the private preferences of any one, or any section, as to the result of the de cisions. This is all the South asks, and she will be satisfied with nothing less. This, Buch uan is in favor of, a:id this is all we ask of any Northern or Southern man. The Whig finds fault with Breckinridge because be has enunciated the same princi- nlea It would have the South believe that Iireckinridge, of Kentucky, i untrue to tjle right of the South, but the Black ;0publicans, Botts and Henry Winter Davis arf. poarveiootdy proper men to be trust- ed by the South. If it is a sin that is to condemn Buchanan with Southern men, that he does not individually prefer seeing slavery extended, if such be the fact, but is willing to allow the people to decide for themselves, whether they will have it or of slavery : The opposition have been affirming. t;mc U1)( again, that Buchanan is a sec- tional Southern candidate. u:.d that he will not be supported at the North because of his Southern proclivities. But now he is charged with being a Northern sectional candidate, because, as the Whig affirms, he is not in favor of the extension of slave ry ? That is the question. $tuunlo7L Vin dicator. A BAD CITY. An Indiana paper gives the following C.C cription of Chicago, Illinois. From this description we might infer that Sodom and Gomorrah were not a circumstance to the great city of the W est : Chicago is the strongest black repuoa- can city in the Union. It is the city where the St. Louis man died, and, upon mak- ing application for admittance into para- disc, was assured by St. Ceter that he was the first man who had ever made his ap- pearance at that gate from that place. It is the city where men poison their wives so that they may marry their wives' sis ters. It is the city where a poor widow went to seven physicians all of whom re fused to attend her child which had been burnt by a falling piece of timber, until the fee was paid. It is the city of as-as- UnfttUUIfl ii-onc nf rt( .....1 r.f . .. dyism ; the place where honest men dare not walk the streets after nightfall, and where rowdies revel at noon day. It is the habitation of bogus bankers and swind lers of every grade ; where ministers preach politics and utter the vilest falsehoods from the pulpit. It is the head quarters of Emi grant Aid society, and the treasury of the Kansas fund is kept there. From its dens and perlieus f infamy an invading army of gamblers, assassins and thieves have gone to Kansas at the bidding of Beecber and his satellites, to sow the seeds of vice and immorality in that beautiful country, and which it will take years of labor on the good and the virtuous to eradicate It is the hot bed of treason, niggerism, and vice and immorality of every grade the recruit ing station of the devil himself. History neither in tho times past, nor the present neither in this country nor the old world furnishes its equal in all that is vile, demor alizing and degrading. In all its parts in law : in society ; in politics, in morality, and in religion, it blends most harmoniously. Fusionism, free bootism, treason and disunion cannot do otherwise than flourish in Chicago. The soil is adapted to their growth. It is mois tened by the blood of virtue and patriotism and warmed by the heat from the very lot temless pit itself. Great Business in Grain. The receipt? of grain at Milwaukee, Wis., on the 1st ! happy pair never dream of posting off, as instant, is said to have amounted to over ; they do in America to spend the honey 00,000 bushels, about 50,000 bushels of j moon out of sight of their friends." which was wheat. The American of that city says : 'We understand that all the roads are now used to their utmost capacities in bringing forward the produce from the interior. iu umucuse receipts nave nad the effect to depress the market somewhat though the very liberal price of $1,03 was paid for straight lots of club wheat yesterday, and $1,12 to $1,18 for white winter. We learn that vessels to arrive have been chartered for wheat to Buffalo Tl. - . . 1 , . at 14 cents. Ihe amount of stuns to go forward for the next 60 d:ns will be 1,500,000 bushels per week at a low ........ I . i r . estimate, employing me clearance oi r'U vessels per week.

Pulpit Politeness. At Lempster, N. H., a few Sabbaths since, a political divine, whose anxiety for the Kingdom of. Kansas is greater at the present time than for the kingdom of heaven, preached a political discourse in which he alluded to the demo crats of his congregation in such unpleasant terms as to induce quite a number to leave the house. The political address finished, the very devoted minister, in a fervent manner, thanked God that among other things granted unto him, "he possessed the power of casting out devils"' Thankful for Small FAVoRS.-The opposition presses htive gone into ecstasies over the portion of ihe speech made by Gov. Floyd in New York, in which the orator assures his auditory, that if it can be shown to his satisfaction, that Fremont cannot be defeated without his vote be given for Fillmore, that he will vote for Fillmore and that Virginia will stand at his back. Hereupon, the Fillmore men hereabouts throw their crps into the air and raise a great shout as if Governor Floyd had pledged himself to vote for Fill more. It so happens, however, that with this declaration was coupled the orator's avowed belief a belief which he entertains in common with all reflecting men of all parties that Mr Fillmore has not the re motest chance of nn election, and, conse quently, it was tantamount to a declara tion that he should not vote for Fillmore, as he most undoubtedly will not. Why, then, it may be asked, did he make the remark at all ? He was arguing to show that the Union was menaced by the Black Repub licans ; that their triumph would ensure the immediate dissolution of the Union, and that it was, therefore, the duty of all men who love the Union, to unite upon James Buchanan for the purpose of saving the U nion. It was almost a logical necessity of the line of argument which he had adopted, that he should avow his willingness to vote for any man. who was nominated by a party claiming nationality, who could de feat the nominee of an avowedly sectional party. So much the declaration of Gov. Floyd means and nothing more, and if there be comfort in that to the Fillmore men in the South, they are welcome to it. Richmond Enquirer. ' o s ' A Royal Mattress. The ex-King Louis of Bavaria, who recently attained his seventieth year, was, a few days ago, waited n at his chateau at Ludwigshade, in the Palatinate, by a deputation from Strasburg, in w hich place lie was born, who paid their respects to him on the occasion. The King received them most kindly, promised to visit thoir city, and related to them a curious circumstance. At the time of his birth, in August, 1786, his father, who was then only Prince des Deux Touts, com manded the Alsace regiment in the service of France, which was in the garrison at Strasburg; and, a few days after the birth, he was astonished to see that all his grenadiers had cut off their beards and moustaches. On inquiring why they had done so, one of the men stepped forward and said that they had determined to beg his acceptance of a velvet mattress for the newly-born prince, and that they had stuffed it with their beards and moustaches ! "I have the mattress still," cried the King, "and will show it to you!" The mattress was produced, and the King added, "I do not think that there is in the world abed which can be called more strictly military than U iP' A Norweigian Marriage.

These rings are retained ever afterwards, no additional ring being placed on the finger of the bride after marriage, as with us. As the bridal cortege crossed the water a fiddler sat in the boat playing in great state while cannon resounded from the shore and the church bells rang out merrily over the water. On landing, the bride walked to the priest's, and was then arrayed in her wedding garments. She wore a dress of white silk, md on her head a wreath of flowers; while a veil descended over her shoulders almost to her feet, the face being left uncovered. Three o'clock p. in , was the time for performing the ceremony. The priest afterwards made an oration, and received for it a fee of twenty dollars. He is equally eloquent at funerals provided he is paid for it. The honeymoon in this country is called Tlvede Brod Dagen, white bread days a name indicating the scarcity of that delicacy. The Woman.

The following narrative a true one de scribes a scene that actually took place not many years since in a country village in the State of Maine : One evening in the month of December, a number fof townsmen had assembled at the store of a Mr. Putnam, to talk over "matters and things," smoke, drink and in short do anything to "kill time." TViffln htn ra Trine nnscoil fliVfiV. rru uj i uj jii.j a AirA and chatted, and had a "good time general- ly ;" so that about the usual hour of shut- ting up shop, each of the party felt particu- larly "first-rate." "Come," says Charles Hatch, one of the company "let's all liquor, and then have a game of 'high, low, Jack." "So I say," exclaimed another ; who's got the cards ?" "Fetch on your keerds," drawlod out a third customer, his eyes half closed through the effect of the liquor he had drunk. After drinking all round, an old pine table was drawn up before the fire-place, where burned sprightly a large fire of hemlock logs, which would snap and crackle throwing large live coals out upon the hearth. All drew around tho table, seating them selves on whatever came handiest. Four of them had rolled up to the table some kegs, which from their weight were supposed to contain nails. "Now," said Hatch, "how shall we play every one for himself ? " No, have partners," growled out one man. " No, hang'd if I play so," shouted the former, bringing his fist down upon the ta ble, knocking one candle out of the stick, and another upon the floor. " Come, come," said Hatch, "no quar reling; all who say for having partners stand up." Three arose. " Now all who say each one for himself, stand up." The remaining one immediately got up. " You see, Barclay," said Hatch, "the majority are against you. Come, will you play?" "Well, as I don't want to be on the op posite side, I'll play," answered Barclay, somewhat cooled down. Mr. Putnam was not in the store that evening, and the clerk, who was busy be hind the counter, had tiken very little no tice of the proceedings. About half-past ten Mr. Putnam thought he would just step into the store and see that everything was j thein? which is more than pi.ouable. If all safe. As he went in he walked up towards ! went Cronstadt wouid be taken ; and the fire. When within a few steps of where jf aU wout wrOTJgt the fleet would bo lost, the men were setting, he started back in N() T tniuk, except the Times, would horror. Before him sat seven men, half haye tded Cronstadt. crazy with liquor and the excitement of I . , . playing cards. There they were within a 1 A Dutchman whose dictionary definition few feet of the fire just described, and four !

Bv tiie continui d motion of their feet, the powder had become spread about the floor, and now covered a space of two feet all around them. Mr. Putnam's first movement was toward t in floor, hilt vp Co vnri i , rr imn f ,n vv:.ll,n,l o - UP toward the fire, should either or them attempt to rise, he thought, and scatter a tew grams a little iurtner into the nre-piace, where lay a quantity of live coals, all would be lost ! At that moment Hatch looked up, and seeing Mr. Putnam with his face deadly pale, gazing into the fire exclaimed "Putnam, what ails you ? and at the same time made a motion to rise. "Gentlemen, do not rise!" said Mr. Put nam ; "four of you sit on kegs of powder it is scattered all around you one move ment might send you all to eternity. There are two buckets of water behind the bar. But keep your seats for one minute and you are saved move and you are dead men ! In an instant every man was perfectly sobered not a limb moved each seemed paralyzed. In less time than we have taken to des cribe this thrilling scene, Mr. Putnam had poured the water and completely saturated the powder on the floor and extinguished the fire, so that an explosion was impossi ble. Then, and not until then, was there a word spoken. Before those seven men left the store that very night, they pledged themselves never to taste another glass of liquor, or play another game of cards ! An Illf.oal Ruler. The Paris cor respondent of the New York Herald refers to what he calls the strange stories told a bout Napoleon the Third's illegitimacy. He says it is by many believed that he has no Bonaparte blood in his veins, but, though there is no resemblance in the Emperor's feature to the other members of the Bona parte family, tho correspondent says he is so like them in his walk and general car. riage, that without consanguinity it would bo difficult to understand it. Whilst in the rural districts no doubt is entertained of the Emperor's legitimacy, no one about the court has the slightest faith in it. Napoleon III. is understood to thA son of a German Admiral.

The steamship George Law has arrived, bringing Califor nia dates to the 20th, and $2,000,000 in gold. The new governor of Panama was to be inaugurated on the 11th instant.

Canas was at Guano Costa, with 500 men ready to repel Walker. Rivas was at Leon with 2500 men await ing the dry season, to make an attack on Walker. o LATER FROM KANSAS. St. Louis, Oct. 13. Advice from Wes ton state that Messrs. Berry and Walker having sold some flour to citizens of Kan sas, a party of ruffians under Stringfellow proceeded from Platte city to Weston and arrested Berry, denouncing him as an ab olitionist and threatening to hang hirn. The citizens of Weston assembled in full forcft, and denouncing Stringfellow ordered him to leave the country in fivo days. They then drove his party from town. Sut Ciiarlks Napier in Cronstapt. .Sir Charles Napier has returned to Eng land, and has sent notes on the strength of Cronstadt to a morning paper. He writes : " If 5U sail of the line, and 50,000 men in steamers, were to attempt an attack, it might ju.-t possibly succeed provided they did not sink ships between Menschikoff and Cronslott, and our ships did not take the ground in going in. It would be necessary for the leading ships to anchor against the batteries. Those following should go in and break the boom. If they succeeded we would probably overpower the fleet, and the steamers would land the troops oa the sea wall. If we failed in breaking the boom there would be great confusion, and there is no knowing what would happen. II would also be necessary to have a strong reserve to take the place of the ships against the batteries, if they failed in silencing Gardiner, Me., Juiie li, ltJjl. Wm. II.
