DEAR. Sin : I ought to have thanked you tor your letter and invitation before this time, hut numerous engagements have hindered me. It will not be practicable for me to attend the meeting, vet I cannot refrain from saying that, in so much of your creed, and in so much of your organized efforts as are directed to re sist and scatter this combination of States against States—a new danger, and more to be dreaded than half a world against us in arm* —in this portion of your creed, and this exertion of your energies, i sympathise with vou with iny whole heart and reason. f am your obedient servant, HI ITS CHOATE.

The New York Day Book, in noticing the hloviatinns ol the Disunion press, as to the vote of the Empire State makes the lollowmg pre diction :. \ow we put on record in the face of all these boastings, the following prediction.

Last evening we learned the highly gratify ing intelligence, that at the County Convention ot the friends ot ti:■ • Union arid the Constitu tion, held in Lancaster yesterday, a most excel lent County Ticket was formed. For Congress, that talent'd and distinguished Old Line Na tional Whig, Hon. ISAAC E. HEISTEE, who for merly.represented the Whigs of that County in the House of Representatives, but who was stricken down two years ago by the machina tions ol TIIADUEE.S STEVENS, because ol the na tionality of liis sentiments, and because, like RCFCS CHOATE, he would march under no liag, and follow no party that did not keep step to the music of the Union. And of the fifteen names upon the ticket, six are Old Line Whigs, hut all. of course, warm iiiemls ot J.o.r.s Bc ■ iiAN.i.v. We rejoice most heartily over this union of the ft'lends of the Union, and trust that on the second Tuesday of October, we shall have the proud satisfaction of seeing Lancaster Countv occupying the political position which the true interests of her citizens imperatively urge them to assume.

The Frerr.onters and negro worshippers are just now vet v jubilant over their recent suc cesses in Maine, a State which the Democracy : have not claimed as certain for their cause in . this campaign.

Thus stands the tact in our political! arithmetic. Let those who have shouted themselves hoarse over the result in Maine, controvert it if they ran.

Mr. Breckinridge thinks, will he likely to succeed against Fremont and Dayton. What is to be done about the two platforms, sloes not appear. Nor have we learned what re-pon-e Mr. Buchanan made to tire propo-ition. We copy the above paragraph from the Phil adelphia Bulletin of evening;. The editor ofthat paper is a member of the Christian Church, and day after to-morrow will once more hetul his knee at tiie altar of God, with the pio -I'ound self-conviction that in publishing th<s par agraph Ife Urged and uttered a deliberate, un qualified, wholesale lie. It will be seen that it is u clear and straight-out statement, which ren ders the guilt oi the knave who lubricated it all the more damning.

The Black-Republican candi date for Governor was known to the whole State as a long-tried leader of the Democratic party. llis abandonment of principles with which he had been prominently identified for a period of twenty years was o-ont, and under such art tully-prepared circumstances as led many un suspicious persons to believe that he was still in foil communion with a party which had lavish ed upon him its highest honors.

The Philadelphia News, a ITL.MOUF. paper, of Sept. 10, publishes the Letter from which the above startling extract is taken, and -ays:—At this rno- merit, when some ol our best citizens who have been Whigs, are denounced because they will not join the iflack Republican ranks, this fetter from Henry Clay is most apposite, it points out briefly ami cleaily the baneful tendencies ol" Black Republicanism, its cru elty, its ingratitude. its falsehood, its hostility to the Constitution, its hostility to LABOR.

Ansoin liurlmgatne, now travelling the country making I'reemont speeches, say; "The times demand that we must have an anti slavery Constitution, an Anti-Slavery Bible, and an Anti-Slavery GOD." Seward, Wade, Barks, Spalding, Webb, Greely, Garrison, Sumner.

The Harrisbmg Telegraph, the organ of Gov. Pol lock, (edited by Col.

The latter (these two companies) were dressed in hut" ing shirts, after the fashion of pioneers, carried liijlcs, and had Murderous looking KJVIVE'S in their Belts: 1 The same paper, same date, says editorially: "The South would not and DARK NOT dissolve the I ition if the North in its mtijesty should elect Fred.

The Democrats of Liberty Township will meet at Stoiierstown on Monday, October 0. The Democrats of Middle and South Woodberry will meet at the house ol Wm. Pluck, Esq. onTues dav October 7. Able Speakers will be present a? all the meetings. The .IVEclhodist Church. pyFR. JORDAN N Co. deliberately declare in their last issue that the Democrats met ori Thursday evening of Court lo w £/w the Uleiho/ltsts. Now-, the Methodist Church was not named, either directly or indirectly, and those engaged in the deliberations of that meeting would as soon hare thought ot abusing their rr/icv as abusing the Methodist or any other Church. So shameful a falsehood as thu we have seldom seen in print, and every honorable man in that immense meeting will not laii to proclaim the fact. But would not these advocates of "free speech, tree negroes, and Fremont, ' be a pretty party to take the Method!.l Church into their keeping? A bout two years since Rev. JOHN A. COLLINS, one of the purest and most distinguished ministers of the Baltimore Conference, considering himselt enti tiilcd to the "freedom of speech," at least so far as the interests of true religion were concerned, wrote a letter deprecating the interlerence of the clergy 111 the Legislation o! the country, winch will stand as a monument to tiis worth and eminent ablility until time is 110 more! In that letter, he predicted what has already come to pass in Kansas and elsewhere, growing out of the incendiary petitions to Congress of tin- "ihiee thousand" New England Abolition Clergymen, who demanded the abolition ot Slavery or Civil War! Mr. C. discarded every Thing like polities from his letter in express terms and only point ed out the enormity ol an associated clergy seeking to control the action ol Congress in violation ot the spi rit of both the Bible and the Constitution. How was this great letter and this great man then treated by Mr. Jordan's Know Nothing organ.'' He and his pro duction were relerred to in ati-sue ot the lowest blackguardism, and lie was branded as having "writ ten hintself tioirn. an And lurther, these same fellows published some 13 or "10 columns ol tile lowest balderdash written by some anonymous crea ture 111 Hollidaysburg as a reply to the letter of Mr. Collins ! Every body iri Bedford Inov* these state ments to In* true—and yet thes- are the beauties who now a-k to take the Methodist Church uudei their polluted wings! The Gii*'.' fairly C"~ 'When Know Nothingism sprung into existence, and was permitted to take the place ol the old whig partv, -uch gentlemen as A. KING, S. L. R.TJS sF.LL, and A. K. McCLURK, Esqrs., refused to have any thing to do with the organization, looking down upon it with the most utter contempt, and de nouncing it jtist as Democrats did, for which, of course, they received much applause lrorn the Demo cratic patty lor this exhibition ol Patriotism. Now, whilst we desire :t to be distinctly understood that we view the persons above named as able lawyers, good citizens, and gentlemen of high personal inte grity, yet we must be permitted to say that their present position in politics is truly humiliating, the sectional paitv they advocate being quite the equal of Know Xothingi-rn in ail that is odious and anti republican. Things stand thus:—The Know Noth ings held a regular National Convention and nomina ted Filmore, to which a miuority dissented, with drew, and called another Convention, which brought forth John C. Fremont. Bedford county took 110 ac tion in this matter, the Know Nothings having em phatically endorsed the nomination ol Filmore. But In! and behold! a little ureter meeting assembled in Woodberry Township (the proceedings were never published) and, professing to sp-ak not only tor Bedford county, but for the District, repudiated the nomination of Filmore and determined to nave ano ther candidate— accordingly they selected Mr. A. King to repre-ent, tn part. The counties oi Bedtord, Fulton, Franklin, Juniata, and Adams in the I*re mont Convention, and now Messrs. King and Russell who utterly refused to affiliate with the Know Noth ings, ask them to abandon the regular nominee of their parly and go tor Fremont, mid it is well known that Jordan and his confederates are in favor of this movement—tor they now boldly proclaim that no .itemtier 01 tneir pain stiutilo ticsiiotc ... n....ia u nion! We have put these facts upon record that the candid men in Die ranks .of our opponents may see where they stand. Tin-: .£3 a LAW, CVWe re-publish the votes of Jordan anil f.ijmtte on the Jug Law tor the purpose of again calling The attention of the people to the subject. When we remember the heavy majority in this county and District against a Prohibitory Law, and the large majoritv against it in the State, and look at the rote• of these men, thpy stauil almcttt vv thont a parallel in the annals of political inlamv- It the people al low their servants to treat their expressed will in this runlnnpl wo/is manner, farewell to a free govern ment. Uead over Ihe-e votes carefully, and form your own conclusions. For years Jordan could talk about nothing hut W mytrmurr n his political tirades, his object being to gull Democrats into the ranks of the common enemy—and now. that that humbug ha had ;ts Jay, he goes it on Free NVgroe-ami Fremont. He does not make even the slightest allusion to the temperance que-tiorw If he had been lwurt in his Jug Law harangues and votes he would not have touched the License law of last session with a hundred foot pole, nor anv license law to sell li quor by the giil and establish beer and ale haunts— all of which are included in the law for which he vo ted without expressing a word of disapprobation. FREMONT AM) (IIS Ki:Mf,lO\. r > i'mier this head, the New Voik Commercial a Filature paper, furnishes an exposure which places Fremont in tlm most contemptible po sition ever occupied by anv man seeking a position of public tru-t and honor, as all will admit who read it.

DC/ - Aft-r ail the denials made on the subject, Fr. Jonlait & Co. boldly announce, through their organ in Bedford, of last week, '-that the only way to beat Buchanan i= to form a union electoral ticket." and they a-stire their readers that this "will certainly he done." J hat "no man who covets a victory will hesitate as to union of action in the canvass. There wilt be a union." This simply means that Filmore must be dropped and Fremont sub-tituted! The Freemonters spit upon any other kind of union. Will the hone.-t Filmore men who have heretofore protes ted against this unholy alliance, stand lirmlv by what they have said, or will they submissively bow to the mandates of the wire-workers in Bedford? Old Buck will he elected against any union that can be formed. Mark it! OS"" Col. McCLL'RE, of Chambersburg, who is now on an electioneering tour, endeavoring to unite the opposition to the Democratic Party upon FRK MON f, honored its with a call on last Wednesday morning, and we were glad to take him by the hand —ior, laying aside his politics, he is a \vhole--oiilei), generous gentleman, entirely too much so to be the Representative of the sectional party for which he now speak.-. The Colonel was certainly intended for a Democrat, and nothing else, llis bold unit manly opposition to the oath-bound Order prove- tins.

He was particularly severe 011 our friend Up ton Wushabaugh in making tr.eriy over Ins defeat, as well us the balance of the know-nothing county ticket.

When it is known that Jordan voted !or this "most unjust" law, is he not a pretty speci men to be riding round the county instructing the know-nothings as to how to amalgamate with tiie a bolitioriists ! Alter uiging entire prohibition for upwards of two years, he not only testttied that an ale and beer house was necessary in Bedford, in ad dition to the taverns licensed lo retail liquor, but he romplains that this liceu.e law is too "stringent."

IMOS Oil DISUNION, The Issue is Upon Us—Where Does I'euu svlvauia Stand J There Ls no disguising the fact—every man with his eyes open can seen it that '.he great question of Union or Disunion has been precip itated upon us by the mad fanatics of the North, and that it is a direct and inevitable Dsn- in the present contest. The persistent and cruel sys tem of intermeddling and degression upon the people and the institutions of the South, which has finally culminated to the crisis which is upon us, first commenced in the Eastern States, with the SI.AUKS, the GARRISONS, the Pnir.ue <t:s, and the PARKERS, and th" results of the re cent elections in Vermont and Maine show how completely the minds pf the people in those States have heen poisoned, and how thoroughly loyalty to the Union has beer, obliterated, by those preachers of treason and revilets of the Constitution. The indoctrination of these wicked and trea sonable heresies into the public sentiment of the New England Stales, is much to be lamented and deplored : but it seems to have been the in evitable consequence of the peculiar moral and social constitution of the people of that section. Jn no quarter of the Union, we hesitate not to sav, do the Clergy exercise such a vast influ ence over the minds, thought and actions of'the members of the various congregations of which thev have charge. This influence, when sway- Ed for good and holy puijroses, brings countless blessings in its train : t/iit when perverted to the accomplishment fit ends entirely alien and irrelevant to the object which created it, is fraught with unmitigated and terrible evils.— Now, the appalling (act stands out in hold re lief, that for the last two years, lite Cleigv of .New England have almost universally hee nothing more nor less than the mere pedlars and retailers of politics ; that almost every one has turned his pulpit into a political rostrum with unblushing and shameless audacity that the congregations assembled to hear the word of Cod and receive the Bread of Life, have been treated instead with partizan harangues worthy of the most approved slump orator —with invec tive the most foul and misrepresentations the most atrocious, against the people of one half of this I nion—denouncing them as murderers, cut-throats, thieves and banditti, and invoking upon their heads tin* most Earful maledictions. 1 pon a people thus constituted—upon a people thus habituated to repose the most unlimited confidence in their spiritual guides, and to he ' governed and guided bv them liies>* fiery po litical diatribes have had a tremendous effect; but an effect wlticb has occasioned very little surprise in the minds of those conversant with all the circumstances. These pernicious influences, we are confi dent, furnish the true solution of the recent re sults in Maine and Vermont, a majotity of; whose people, it is fair to infer, prefer all the horrors of Disunion, and are prepared to put a way all the blessings and benefits ol Enion.— They pervade more or less all the New England Stat, s, hut beyond their borders tbev are power less and innoxious.

States into disloyalty to the Enion and the Con stitution, or cause them to turn- their hacks up- , on their Southern brethren and spurn them as felons and as lepers. Should every State east , of .New Yak desert the Enion in her extremes! |'i'i!, it would not shake wur confidence jbr a moment in the result of the giea! struggle now progressing As, HI 1 Virginia served AS A Streak wa ter in arresting Hie ii<;,. ~f Know-V thing fa naticism that was sweeping over the country, so, MI iHfitj, will the Middle and Westein State}!— New Jersey, i' nnsv Ivan11, Chi 1 , Indi ana and Illinois—|>"iform the same patriotic function in resisting and heating l ack the black and swelling surges ol Aledilionisin and Disun ion that are crowding upon its Irom the hast, and whose murmurs sound '•Like the raven's croak o'er the infected house." That Pennsylvania—the oid Keystone of the Arch—will stand firm and immovable in her attachment to the Union, at this fearful crisis, we have never entertained a doubt. We can vouch lor the loyally of her citizens, lier great heart is sound to the core, and beats healthily in response to tile music of the Union and the Constitution. All her associations, all her instincts, all her thoughts, emotions, aspira tions and interests are in consonance with that I'dtv and national patriotism that looks upon the disruption of the Union as the direst calam ity the world ever witnessed, and lull ul un numbered u oes and disasters.— Ben/isylvan inn. THE GREAT IIEMM'RATH TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION. The most lmpo in<r Display ever Witnessed in /A" (hVj nf .\ V; )/■ 1 .irk. The great Democtat ic torchlight procession in ,\ew Vork on Tuesday evening last was a brilliant and an imposing illustration of the spirit which now animates the united and enthusiastic denim-racy of the Empire City. Twenty thou sand freemen, covering a space five miles in length, walked in piocessioti. The air w ass vo cal with the inspiring strains from fifty hands of music. A thousand banners gl-amed in the light of ten times that number of torches. A notice of the prominent features of this remark able demons! iat ion would occupy a broadside of the Vmion.. The crowded state of our columns will only permit us to give place to Ihe stih j lined brief report, for which we are indebted to the Day IJook. "Nothing to exceed it, or even equal it, has j ever before been seen in New York. Gong be fore t he time of starting the procession, the clubs from the different wards began to move, an ! the city w'as alive with mm, women, and children hurriedly endeavoring to gain a favor able spot to witness the grand display. Broad way was almost a solid mass ot human beings— the stages not being allowed to enter that street during the passing of the procession. The ! evening was a most splendid one. The a!mos-| phere w as gentle and calm, with just the slight- i est tinge of coolness from the autumn breeze.— j The sparkling stars, set like gems in the clear , blue sky above, shedding down their light upon i innumerable torches, now and then increased in their brilliancy by the display of Roman candles and rockets, formed a scene at once im posing and magnificent. The writer of this! watched the procession from the St. Nicholas j Hotel, the windows arid balconies of which: were filled with ladies, as well as the houses! on the opposite side of the street. "About eight o'clock the light, which had ! been seen in the distance down Broadw ay, he-I gan to assume form and order, and to move up the street. First came Captain Isaiah Rynders,: the grand marshal, mounted on a splendid j white horse, and next was the drummer boy of Santa Rosas, who, as one of General Walker's gallant hand, survived that disastrous battle.— j Captain Rynders carried a hickory baton in his hand made from the wood of the first hickory i pole raised in honor ol'Genoial Jackson at Tam-; many Hall, in IS"S. Appropriately, the first banner declared 'fidelity to the Constitution and the Cnion.' Not far behind this was a ship! full-rigged,on board which was a large transpa-' renev, having in front the words 'one people, one constitution, and one destiny on each side: '•'Sail on, Gallant Old Ship! with Buchanan for pilot, 1 the Constitution for your Chart, you will never split on the Rock ot Disunion, nor founder in the storm of fanaticism ; but, with j the Stars and Stripes (lying, Fire Deadly! Broadsides into the enemies of our country.' j "One banner represented Holy Rifle Beech er standing on the Bible, with the motto, Beecher's commandment, 'Kill each other with ! Sharpe's rifles;' Bible commandment, 'Love I one another. One transparency represented ! 'bleeding Kansas,' being three dark babies with j bloody noses. "There were also several temples of liberty! decorated with mottoes &c. The Sixtli wan! i turned out strong, with the motto 4 The Sixth! ward goes for white men.' As the precession passed the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Ladies wave I the handkerchiefs, and cheer upon cheer iron, the crowd below made the very welkin rin-r ' It would be impossible to give a full dw„Mjon ol the scene. The VVorkingmen's Club of if','. Twentieth waid had a blacksmith shop 0 i wheels in full blast. The Germans also turn. ! mit strong, several ol their clubs being i 0 the procession, besides the IT-mocracy of litUuvn Statan Island, Hoboken, and Jersey city. o,'' Jersey neighbois turned out with team. On the whole, the demonstration was ■. grand and magnificent one. And if the d m era Is of the I nion could see the r.ubie which animates the '(.one and sinew* Empire City,they would never despair oftC Enion, and care nothing tor the vaporing* of the British-abolition party. There has been t,, more soul-inspiring demonstration in Javor' i liberty, freedom, and the constitution, in many years." • BtiC.iDSTlfks.— Ihe wheat harvest oi' the United Stales ibis year is estimated at | r >o. 000,000 bushels, a large surplus above our do mestic wants.
