YONKERS, N YORK, ON THE
23D ULT.
Ma. PRESIDENT AND F ELLOW-CITI ZF. N S
l am glad to appear for the second time iu this
Congressional District. M? first appearance
was uinier circumstances somewhat memorable,
or at least the remarks I then made at Tarry
tjwn have contributed, if not to my reputation,
certainly to my notoriety. Tbey have been
printed tinrc widely, and abused umro exten
sively, 1 think, than the remarks of any one
man occupying so limited a spice in the public
mind. They were undo deliberately, listened
to patiently, and lain here to-night to say that
i have nothing to leiali. [Loud cheering.]
Intended necessarily to be personal, from
the fact tint 1 iu some sort was the repre
sontativo of an autagouisiu to a great betrayal
of principle, I sought, ou the occasion referred
to, to set forth my own caso in defending the
principle, and iu so doing it became my duty
to expose what. I conceived to be au act of the
most monstrous duplicity of which annals con
tained a record. In this appeal a citizen
of the Uni'ed States indertook to arraign 1 lie
President of the United Statos for a betrayal
of trust, to set forth the causes which led to
that betrayal, to depict the consequences of
such ;>n act, and to invoke the puuishmeut
of the ballot-bos upon that betrayal. [L<flUl
cheers ] If when such a principle is involved, j
if when such a principle is deserted, the peo
ple do not respond in tones of indignant de
nunciation, there is no use in having a free
government. Hence it was that 1 told the
people who were then preseut that old Penn
sylvania, on tbo 12th of October, would pro
nounce by a memorable majority against the
cause of her once favorite eon, Jaures Bu
chanan. [Cheers.] And 1 went home to m ike
this promise and prediction good, and as you
have seen, uearly 40,000 majority has been
given against tho ljcooniptnn swindle, and
against tho conduct of the Federal Adminis
tration. [Loud cheers.] I aur here to-uight
to say that the promise then uradc, unlike some
other promises, has Leeu made good. [Cheers.]
1 am here to render an accouut ot my steward
ship, ami to say that Pennsylvania has pro
nounced a verdict against the President of the
United States. [Uheors-J tjoirternplate, for a
moment, the magnitude of this result; look
upou it in all its proportions, and you will see
it, like some mute orator, encouraging the in
dependent and rebuking the subservient and
treacherous public servant ; we shall have no
more treacheries in t he North after this verdict.
[Great ajiplau.se.] There will be no more
awards going to Washington to betray a gen
erous constituency herer.fter. [Cheers.] There
has, as yet, been no issue so clear as tbis, none
so direct •, no rebuke so omphalic, no principle
so weil understood, as that which was tried on
lie 12th of October in dear old Pennsylvania
[Loud cheers.] We did your work here ; your
election cow is a mere matter of form ;. the
ordinary duties of voting and recording votes
will be performed—but old Pennsylvania has
made the path clear for you. [Groat applause ]
That is tho native State of the President-—in
that State ho grew to manhood—in that State
he has beeu repeatedly nominated for the high
office which he at last attained—that Shite
gave him the majority which rescued him from
defeat in other quarters; and it was | ro
per, there was jmetic significance in tho fact—
that the State which gave him all his celebrity
should at the same time bring down the pr. ud
usurper ; that the State which was his political
birth should become his political grave.--
[Cheering long and loud.] In 1856, Fetiu
sylvur.ia gave a large majority for Mr. Bach
nnan, and a year after she gave Gov. Packer n
majority of 40,000 : and iu the preseut con
test the issue was distinctly made and well un
derstood, no man was more conscious of this
thau the President, aud he strained every nerve
to secure Pennsylvania as an iudorser of Ids
policy. In all my life 1 have never seeu such
prostitution of official patronage. In by gone
days when the Whig party came into power
they turned out the Democrats; aud when the
Democratic party came into power they turned
out the Whigs; but never before has such
prostitution of patronage and official station
been known as in the late election in Pennsyl
vania. Not only was the money of the people
expended by hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, but tbo Administration resorted to the
most extraordinary processes, using this pat
ronage and this money against its own political
friends, or rather against those who stood by
the principle of tho Democratic party, which
gave power to that Administration. In the
district represented by Col. Florence, the regu
lar vote was ovci whelmed by an imported army
of office holders. Some 2,800 men were in the
Navy-Yard alone, where not more thau 500
are required. Every branch of the public
service was drawn upon for the purpose of
contributing to this immense horde of merce
naries ; but notwithstanding this you have the
result boforo you, of 15 Democrats who were
elected iu 185G, but five have been reelected,
while instead of the balance ten open and do
cided opponeuts of the policy of the Federal
Administration have been returned. [Jioud
cheers ] And of these five, throe of them
agree with me. Home of these names are
familiar to you, but tho gallant old German of
Berks Couuty may not be so familiar to you.
Berks County has always borne a peculiar re
lation to the Democratic party. In Berks
County the regular nomiuatiou has always
passed current, and hence it was that Mr. J.
lluncy Jones war elected. Ho took iuto hia
he could do anything, and by a singular
uciiialion that he was not a representative
liwin a l'tee county, but that Berks County
was somewhere in South Carolina or Alabama.
A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c., &c—Terms: One Dollar and Fifty Cents in Advance.
Laboring under tbis mistake he went to Wash
ington, always forgetting he was a Representa
tive from a free district, and if any question
was put to him about the Tariff or any public
measure, his first reply was "would it suit the
South I" But after all this great principle
had penetrated the hearts, the hearths and the
firesides there, as it has here. They are not
accustomed to the windings of polities; they
cannot sit down and discuss with your states
man the intricate philosophy of statesmanship,
all the mean things ; but when this man at
tempted to betray ihem, they roused.the lion of
public opinion and Berks County repudiated
him like a reptile that had crept around her
throat. [Loud cheers.] That was the lesson
which more than anything else was.felt at the.
seat of tho Federal Capital. That was a re
buke which Mr. Buchanan in the moments of
his extremest apprchensops never dreamed could
occur. And lie has rewarded this double-dyed
traitor, after the ballot-box, tie honest, un
purchased ballot-box, has pronounced against
this faithless public sou ! What do we see ?
Does the President of tho United States yield
to this popular decree ? Oh, no ! Ttio mo
ment the telegraphic wires flished this terrible
sentence of condemnation, this honest reproof
of bis policy, to his mind, he sat down, and
with trembling fingers attempted to rebuke the
people who had rebuked him. He sends this
uiau to Austria, endowed with a foreign mission,
for tho purpose of saying to this majestic pro
nunciation of the people against his policy : 'I
despise the ballot-U-x; I laugli at your opinion.'
[Cheers.] If it is meant to turn the Federal
Government into a hospital for every man
beaten and abused of public opinion, if gross
treachery, and a betrayal of trust is to be re
warded by the Presideut of the United States,
then I would not give tho snap of my finger
for your Government. Mr. Buchanan should
at once send to New-York aud take the Beniciu
Boy, who has lately been be.itcn by Motrissey,
to reward him with a foreign mission, if defeat
is to be considered a virtue, flow this will be
received by the people, history will teach,
hereafter. Now let me call your attention to
another district iu Pennsylvania, the one repre
sented with such ability by John Hickman.
[Great applause.] Of this mm I claim a right
to speak, for he has won litgh honors at the
bauds of the people. No man whom 1 have
ever met has proved himself so equal to the
great occasions in which he has figured : no
man whs more devoted to Mr. Buchanan In
1851, and again in 185G But one day he met
Mr. Buchanan, then a oaudiiate for President,
iu the oars. Mr. Hickman said to him, "How
"is it you are iu favor of Kansas as a Slave
"State ; I want you to tell me how you stand
"on this question." Mr. Buchanan told Mr.
Hickman, (I have not the txaet words of the
conversation, but can furnish them if necessary,)
"1 am a Northern man ; ail my instincts are
"Northern ; I was b irn and bred in Pennsyl
"vania; I am iu favor of the aduii>su of
"Kansas r.s a Free State." That was before
tiie election of 1856, and upon this warreot,
thus spokeu without the pledge of secrecy, Mr.
Hickman went before his constituents and was
reelected, and he was found among I lie first in
Washington along with your gallant represen
tative [tremendous cheers] to opjiosc Leeouip
tonism iu ail its phases. Then began the most
fearful persecution upon a public man which it
has been my lot to witness. A series of per
secutions and abuse began, which I will not at
tempt to describe—so much so that Mr. Hick
man was compelled to go armed, iu order to
defend himself. Yet he has triumphed ; day
and night he toiled, and the result has been
that he is returned to Congress by a spleudid
majority. [Loud cheers.] I would that the
story of that canvass ended here ; but I re
gret to say that while the people of his district
were recording their acknowledgments, his
beloved uDd gifted wife, who participated iu all
his interests, whose heart palpitated to ail his
hopes and fears, who had iecn tho stay of bis
life, tottered into his library and died in his
arms. I would uot profane the sacredness of
his grief by political allusions, but I am obliged
to believe that she was the victim of tho re
morseless persecution that pursued bim. But
I am here to say that I rejoice in tho issue of
the late canvass tn Pennsylvania, because it
baa vindicated both mc and my great State.—
[Cheers.]
Iu the speech which I made at Tarrrytown I
said tbiugr that have invoked the attacks of the
Administration papers of this country from
Maine to Georgia; it has been made the staple
of calumny and fabrication. I bore it patieutly
and allowed their acousatious to accumulate for
a while, and then I published a simple vindica
tion of my statements. Not ono of these as
sailed statements of mine has been proved to be
false. Not a single allegation made against the
Administration at Tarfytown has been proved
to he false—not one. They stand before the
people charging the Administration with being
guilty of political turpitudo aud treachery, and
for this reason I am rejoiced at the vindication
of the people of Pennsylvania on the 12tb of
October last. [Cheers.] J can very well ima
gine how Mr. Buchanan feels at tho present
moment, how ho goes back over the unfortunate
stops of the last two years; how he seeks excu
ses for the greater disaster that has befallen
himself and his policy. For iu our State this
was not a question of the Tariff or Revenue
laws— it was simply an issue between Mr. Buch
anan and the people upon his Kam-us policy.—
There was not—there could not be—any pro
text; the issue was fairly and fully tried, aud
tho result is before the country. As Mereutio
said when he received the stub of the indignant
Thibault, "The wound is not as deep as a well,
uor as wide as a church-door, but it mill do."
[Tremendous cheers.] We say to this Admin
istration, We have fought you when you had
nearly four years of Federal power before you,
and were surrounded by a hungry army of uu
fed and insatiate bounds; and we shall fight you
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1858.
now, whgn yan have but little more than two
years of power and your dogs ha7e nearly all
been gorged. [Great cheering.] The whole
career of Anti-Lccompionism has been a career
of triumph; we have driven those usurpers from
one point to another; we compelled them to
abandon their Leeouiptoti pe-licy; wo compelled
them to abandon the English bill, and opp
there is not a white mm running for
in the North wiio dares avow himself iu favojf
of tho policy of the Administration—not oneff
[Cheers] Evon Mr. English has been compel
led to abandon his own measure to save himself
trcm defeat. They have been compelled to ad
mit tho justice of our position, and that those
who act with Mr. Haste in, and with the inde
pendent Americans, Democrats and Republic
cans through rut the Free States are right.—
[Cheers.] Yet, what do we see? They have
set a prioo on the head of Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois. They follow him as if he iitul com
mitted soma dreadiul crime. A murderer, or]
a man tainted with treason, could not bo more
bitterly persecuted; and only because he has
been true to principles that the Administration'
hive failed to deny or controvert. Thp issues,
however, between us and them remains. We
are fighting the great battle of Popular Sover
eignty. [Cheers.] That is the issue. They can
not escape the reckoning. No Charleston Con
vention will save them unless they come for
ward und acuept the dootrine which they now
repudiate. No power —no patronage can save
thorn. 1 believe to-day, if the official vote had
been stricken out, aud the people voted without
interruption, there would not be 10,000 Dem
ocrats in Pennsylvania n favor of the policy of
the present Administration. [Cheers.] fleooe
they, arc bound to submit to crushing defeat
hereafter, or else come forwird and on bended
knees accept the policy which we stand by to
day. That is exactly the issue. lam well
aware tint tbtw e in high stations in Washing
ton and elsewhere ate felicitating themselves
that those who act with tuc will be divided, and
1 know they are looking forward to the day
when by means of packed conventions they shall
get such nominations as they wish. But, gen
tlemen, the day of independent men has ar
rived [great cheering;] the time has conic when
no nomination is biudiug that discards a great
and imperishable principle. [Cheers.] I say
further more, nnd say it deliberately, as one
man speaking the sentiments of many thou-ands,
that if the Do upcutie.jMx J .V desires sueaess in
18(50, tiiey must get rid ol this Administration
at once and forever, [cheers,] it is iu the way.
It stands in the pathway of progress; it belongs
to the past; it is identified with the past, and if
they undertake to oarry it along, it will be liko
a healthy man carrying a putrid corpse upou
his shoulders. [Cheers.] There is no rescue
but in this policy—no deliverance hut in this
course. Those who have been bopittg that Mr.
Buchanan might come down without a popular
decree, hope in v..iu. What cat; he do 1 Can
he reeali his hounds now assailing Stephen A.
Douglas without losing dignity! Can he fol
low the example of Broekenridgo, who has had
tho manliness to no,no forth and raise his hand
in horror at this indecent proscription? No; for
he is ho author of it! lie is worse than this,
he is the author of the most .scandalous doc
trine that has been promulgated i:t this country
he dares tell us that the President is the Gov
ernment. His motto is not liko that of Old
Hickory, "The Union, it must and shall ho
preserved," but "Tho Presiseut and his policy
must and shall be sustained." It is in vain to
hope that a man committed to a dogma, to a
despotism, like this, can bo sustained by any
party. He is iu the way. his men are in the
way, and they must move off aud lot the groat
train of Popular Sovereignty pass on without
them. [Cheers.] I kuow such language may
be regaided as treasonable, but it is time we
understood each other. I say no nun iu Mr.
Buchanan' <t position can be sustained, an J the
party attaching itself to his fortuues will go
down deeper than did ever plummet sound.—
[Cheers.] This Lecoiuptonism has been the
greatest disaster that has cverbefalleu uDy par
ty. It has done good to nobody, has assisteo
nobody, except a few miserable uiiscrouuts who
wanted office.
As 1 said at Tarrytown, the blackest of Re
publicans could go to Washington and tell Mr.
Buchanan ho admired bis Lecomplou policy,
and ho was washed white and clean, and re
warded with any office he desired. Nothing
has flown frotu this tiling of Lacompton but
black und bitter waters. When in Penusylva
uia thousauds of laborers were starving for
work and nearly for bread, when credit was
gone and business paralyzed, and when the peo
ple turned to the man whom they had regarded
for twenty long years with admiration to pro
tect American industry—wlieu they did this,
the only reply heard was "Lecouiptonisin."—
I say here that so far as this question of pro
toctiug American industry is concerned (1
speak as a member of the Democratic party) I
am for it in all its length and breadth. [Tre
mendous cheering.] I havo never been what is
called a Free-trade man; I have always be
lieved iu specific duties; but when I see how
the South adhere, how all their platforms and
pledges and creeds tend to their own beuefit, I
am for this doctriue of protection, or auy other
doctrine that will help us here. [Cheers.] —
The South comes to Washington with united
delegations, demanding her rights; the South
can be in favor of tho inhuman traffic in slaves
notwithstanding our treaties with foreign pow
ers prohibit such a traffic, yet tbey are never
read out of the Democratic party. 'The south
west can come to Washington with demands
for internal improvements, and they are never
read out. But lot New York talk a little
about protooting American industry, aud we
aro told it is out of the reoord, out of the par
ty, or out of the Cincinnati platform. Hence
it is 1 am willing to go to the extreme upon
this issue. Within the Jast week, gentlemen,
I have had the opportunity of sounding public
opinion as to the position of parties, and I as
sure yon that I have not met any one., Lecomp
tonite or Anti-Lecomptonite, Republican, A
merioan or Democrat, that does not rejoice iu
tho great victory which we achieved on the
12th of October. [Cheers.] Nobody feels
•sorry about it: they seemed to think that a
disease such as this required a desp irate reme
dy and a skilfull surgeon, and they seeut rath
er to like the operation. I never saw so many
people in ray life. [Cheers.] Tbore who did
; not like it were glad because it was cu well
i done. [Cheers.] And those who dislike it
wore glad because it commenced a glorious ca
reer, and they felt ss if they could do it over
again. In passing through New Jersey 1 found
nnen of all parties united against this "abuse of
power, this violation of honor, this betrayal ot
trust; and I think I may congratulate you on
tnc tact that tho entire delegation from New
■Jersey will be against the policy cf the Ad
hnintstration. [Cheers ] Here iu New Yoik 1
[can sec that you are going to win the battle;
■ that you are going to elect John I>. Hasbro.—
[[Cries of we will,' and cheers.] As to the
jptber Lecotnpton ticket which disgraces the
' namo of tho Democratic party, 1 trust it will
I receive the fate which befei the Leejmpton tick
bet in Pennsylvania. Ar.d finally, gentleinc-n,
[let me say a word in behalf of Mr. ! 1 askin. —
[ [Cheers.] Lot mc say to you, there have been
[-wavering men; I have been in Washington aud
se-n that lit tic column of Democrats who, du
ring those times, stood around the ling of pop-
Inlar sovereignty; there may have been some
Who wavered, there may have been some that
trembled, but your glorious Representative,
never. [Tremendoui cheering.] No never!
hjProlonged cheering.[ He never had a doubt;
[in inspired confidence and courage in other*;
[lie made those btdd and brave who were them
selves timid. What he may do hereafter, is
pact the qileation; he has done well in the past,
Ifrust him f.r the future. Believe in him for
pays that are to come, elect hiut and he will go
n|o Washington; the proudest man iu all the
I Free Status, except John Hickman. [Cheers.]
j I thank you for the attention and kindness to
ward me; and I promise yon, if ever my servi
! dips are needed, 1 shall come among you with

Til 13 LITEST ItOMAIICFi.
i The Cincinnati Gazette gives au account of a
i ease which occurred in that city recently, which,
i as it says, sets an example for loving husbands
; that has no parallel on record, aud but for the
criminal reality connected with : t, would throw
the latest romance into obscuiity.
It appears that the elder brother of a family
residing at Naples, Italy, married a wife consid
' etaLly his junior, and she became the "old,
man's darling." Like Melnotte, he'd "have
|no friends that were not lover*," and with
j pride lie pointed to his pretty wife, and made
I her his idol, his temple of devotion, morning
| and occning. Iu an evil hour a younger bro
! ther, Michael Angclo Gitto, looked with loving
! eyes upon his sister-iu-law, and she was won
from her allegiance to her lord. Tho guilty
pair made their escape to this country, bring
ing wtih them a little daughter and leaving the
husband and two little boys in their deserted
Italian home. The brother lover aud his fair
companion reached Cincinnati some mouths
ago, and opened a confectionery store ou Main
sires c. In time the husband learned their
whereabouts, aud takiug his two motherless
boys with him, he sailed for that city. He at
onee sought out the guilty pair, and implored
tho wife to return to her allegiauee, but to no
purpose. Ho was rudely spumed by both wife
and brother, and, as a last resort, tie had them
arrested for adultery. Tho case was to come
up before a Justice, but umtuil friends inter
fered. Unlike the "Misanthrope," who feared
the jeers of boys and girls, should they see him
with his runaway wife upuu his arm, the cider
Gitto, with tears coursing down his cheeks, be
sought her on his knees to return with him to
the sunny clime of Italy, aud make his home
ouco moye a heaven of domestic peace. The
scene was affecting ; the picture being rendered
complete by the pleading looks aud tears of the
little boys, who hsd accompanied the father in
his long and tedious journey. There was a
choice betwecu the penalty for adultery aud a
husband's arms. The wife hesitated, the hus
band pleaded,friends councelled obedience,and
all combiucd, at length prevailed. Sho con
sented to return to Italy with her husband.—
The guilty brother agreed to pay the costs aud
lawyer's fees, the husband took his runaway
wife upon his arm, and his children by the bund,
and left the court so overjoyed with his recover
ed treasure that he actually kissed the hands of
a ftiend who had beeu mainly instrumental iu
bringing about a consummation of his happiuess
under such peculiar circumstances.

.My Dear Misguarded Friend 1 drop you
a line, this morning, to let yon koow that the
two iloops passed Reading last night, for the
head waters of the Salt , heavily laden with
Scotch Pipes, having on board a large number
of widows and orphans , who, it is rumored, in

interesting information that they passed here
in safety. Although having a Broom on board,
their decks were dirty and filthy. It is feared
that they will have a short allowance of fish,
aa their Reeds were all broken.
At this place they took on board the Rev.

THOUGHT A BEAUTIFIER.—A writer in the
Home Journal thinks that mental activity tcuds
to keep the body young :
Wo weie speaking of handsome men the other
evening, and I was ivonuc-ring why K. had so
lost the beauty for which, five years ago, he was
famous. "O, its because ho never did any
thing," said )J. ; "ho never worked, thought,
suffered. You must have tho mind chiseling
away at the features, if you want handsome
middle aged man." Since hearing that remark,
1 have been on the watch at the theatre, opera
unu other places, to see whether it is generally
true, and it is. A handsome row who does
nothing but cat and drink, grows flabby, and
tho fiuo lines of his features are lost ; but the
hard thinker has an admirable sculptor at work,
keeping his fine lines in repair, and constantly
going over his faco to improve the original de
sign.
YOUNG AMERICA IN CALIFORNIA.—We
clip from the Sierra (California) Democrat the
following account of soiue boys living in Dow
nieville, Sierra county, who bad gone upon a
swimming frolic:
"Two of them had a quarrel, and tho larger
ono said something about whipping tho other.
This was retorted to by u uotioe from the smal
ler one not to touch him. The larger boy,
however, pitched in, when the other drew a
knife aud cut him iu the left shoulder, iufliot
ing a large and daugerotis wound. lie cut
again aud struck the left fore-arm jn the fleshy
part, cleaving it to the boue, and severing the
artery. He however, managed to totter to
town, and, just as be bad reached the doctor's
office, fainted and fell from loss of blood,which
had streamed from him for over half a mile.—
Tho wounds, however, were not fatal.
SOUR GRAPES. —Judge Porter, in his naive
let tor of resignation, sayr, with au air redo
lent of tho sourest sort of sour grapes:
"Certainly, I ought to regard it UP hardship
to exchange for the comtwrts of homo, that
wuudcriug life which the law of Pennsylvania
compels her Judges to lead."

found out the hardships of this wandering life
until the people of Pennsylvania voted to have |
nothing more to do with you !

hundred guus, within the city limits, over the

them for so doing. The hundred guns were
fired just outside tho city limits. Old Buck

THE DAST CARD.—The Berks county Re
turn Judges showed a disposition to throw out
the returns from one of the wards in Reading,
