Therefore Resolved, That we will main
tain the Constitution of the United States,
and adhere.- to its principles under all eir
cusastanoes, and- that we have suillnient eon
fldsnee in the patriotism, integrity and pub
lic' virtue of the people of Pennsylvania,
irrespective of party, to believe that they
will stand firmly upon the Constitution of
their country, amidst all the waves of fa
naticism that now sweep over our lend, and
protect with manly_va ilor.the-Jmitt ntionn-of
frisedern — ilutt hive grown up under that
Constitution.
Re/oohed, That the so calied — Republican
party iwi promulgated prizielples that, di

Constitution' of our country, the 'I
-object of
which is to protedt the peculiar rights of one
entire section of the Union, and Mat regar

calculated to diStract the nation and to array
ono portion of our country against another
in open and bitter hostility.
Resolved, That we as Northern !aim ate
desirous that all Territory of the United
Staten, ahould be forever devoted to freetnen
and free labor, yet, respecting as we are
bound to do, the rights of the people of,
every portion of this great Republic, and ad-
hering,to the Democratic dootrine that the
people should govern, and that local laws
ana regulations, should only be prised by
th6'consent of the governed, we arc willing
to submit the question of slavery. as well
es all other questions, to the bona fide voters
of the respective tininieipal divisions forming
States and Territories R Ild under the Co'nsti- '

Resolved, That in -James Buchanan, the
nominee of the Democracy for President of
the ,United Status, we recognize not only
Perinsylvania's favorite son," but a true
and tried statesman, the friend of the coun
try, the advocate of ,tiza-kloruitttution, and
the champion of free white liitmr-16 man
whose soul is too great and too magnanimous
to have drawn across it any black lines of
disunion, or to unite with any sectional par
ty, fur the purpose of combatting the rights
of any portion of this Union, the final result
of which, it successful, must be to degrade
our national and immortal Constitution into
&sectional bagatelle—the creature of a'day.

with these as our national standard bearers,

The Committee returned fmm idej- Rey
no hLs'and escorting the speakers to the stand,
they were introduced to thetas-ere and meet
ing in a very appropriate manner, by -Gen.
Buchanan. The Pieuident then stated the
object of the gathering, iu a neat and peril•
nent speech. ..
Barone!lL Reynolds was the first speaker,
and wads one of the Moat beautiful atj.
dresses, which was received withunbounded
applause by the rryrothag. Mr. Reynolds,
silthoegh quite a pew nen, glees promise.
of albri Mint future-4-ono wllinst the Demo
cracy will be proud of. Col. Preston, of
lientucky, then followed in a speech which
halineld his audience together that-the stone
and rain could not move. During his speech
' the rani poured down, but the honest De
mociacy never wavered. After Col. Preston
closed, Col. Utah Frazer. of Lancaster, ad
dressed the meeting for nearly an hour, in
behalf of the principles which he had battled
for nearly twenty-live years. When CO),
Frazer tintslitd speaking, the „meeting ad
journed to assemble again in the evening.
At 7 o'clock the music called the people
together, when they were addressed by
Q.t. Albert Day, who spoke at considerable
I length. Capt. Day was interrupted by a
gang of rowdies and blackguards
.who were
hurting Stoned into the crowd, hooting and
making every kind of noise. Allison White
and J. li. Orvis followed Cspt. Day in a few
remarks. The meeting then proceueed to
the residence of Mej. 44)401,114,
COI. Bush Frazer . and Samuel H.
Reynolds again spoke.
The meeting then likiounied.
And thus ended by far the largest meeting
ever held in Centre county for years; and
wilt favorably compare with any of the great
mass meetings that! Ass beeh held in the
interior of the State since the opening of the
campaign. We expected to see a great gath
ering in Bellefonte, tb witness the glorious
ontpounng of freemen, enthusiastic in the
mighty cause of Democracy ; but the reality
-greatly exceeded the iiiriarianguininipec
tations. This great, demonstration bids ins
look fors/aril with -exulting hope; and we
can confbknflY 'assure our Democratii
frienda abroad, that in the coming elections
the Numeracy of Old Centre will do their
duty boldly and faithfully. No - [ a iots wIU

Struction of the Constitutution, "That ev

Black-Itopuilicans, is ails -assertion that the
President and Administration desire 4/Snake

the aid Of the fedora frOiernment in snob a
work. Senator Toombs thus nails this false
hood to the counter in his great speech on
his bill. Alluding to Smard, Wadi). and
Feseenden, he said:

Fremont organs over the'diseovery of a doc
ument which they pretend furnishes strong
evidence to relieve their Presidential candi
drte of onepf the numerous chaeles of offi
cial malfeadance connected with his gover
norship in California. The document is a
deposition of Mr. Buchanan giving in 1852,-
in • case pending in London, in which - Col.
Fremont was seed on four drafts, amotntt i Mg
to $19,500, drawn by him in March, Itir`
as " Governor of California." on the Sec
retary of State, (Mr. Buchanan,) and loyhins
pretested for want of authority In " Cover
nor"Fremont to make the drafts. The
Union demonstrates conclusively from the
official records that the specific charge
against Col. Fremont, in connection with
the transaction referred to in Mr. 'Buchanan's
desposition, is in no respect affected by his
proof, and that the 7'nbune either ingnor
antly mistakes the charge, or it willfully
seeks to escape from the force of the officiel
evidence, Quoting from these records, the
Union proves:
" - That Mr. Bucharran'e evidence lies not
the rernoti. at- bearing upon the charge that
Colonel Fremont received from the govern
inent 819,500, vi blob he failed to ripply to
the payment of drafts. The sequel shows
how much the government suffered in the
transaction. In the suit, judgment was
rendered against Colonel Fremont for 'early
850,000, embracing inter coo and
damages. Our go nm t, in pirit of
great liberality, aft it had alreedy
paid the amount of the drafts to Col. Fre
mont, interposed by special act of Congres , ,
and not qtly pied the amount of the judg
ment. but also the amount of Col. Fremont's
personal expenses, making a sum exceeding
6.60,0130--4 o ail- intents and purpnees this
was Colonel Fremont's individual debt, and
afterwarda, upon the settlement of his ac
counts with the government, he refunded the
amount of the drafts, leaving him now
equitably indebted in the suni et e:15,000.
This result has followed from his failure to
make the application of funds which it was
his duty to make. Mr. Buchanan's deposi
tion leaves Colonel Fremont to stand upon
the official records, which ilLapoxt him-the
charge beyond all possibility of
,escape."
