DEMOCRSTIC COID.7TY CONVENTION
Will meet at the PUBLIC SCHOOL Housx at
o'clockp. m. We learn that every district
in the county will be represented-=that the
most entire unanimity exists among the dele=
gates—and that they are all animated with
the strongest hopes of success. They bring
good tidings from every part of- the county.
The democracy are not only up, and doing,
and ready foraction, but many old-line Whigs
are anxiously awaiting the result of the dem
ocratic convention, that they may enter the
held in support of its ticket. Their principles
being sound let the democracy put forward
good men. Let the convention exercise the
greatest care and discrimination in the selec
tion of candidates—let them be unexception
able and popular—free from spot or blemish
—and with such candidates the democracy
will sweep the county. This is but the gen
eral impression. Let every Man act for the
common weal. The crisis demands it.
Mr. SAMUEL COEN, an Old Line Whig
of Barree, wishes us to give public notice,
that he is not an agent for the Huntingdon,
Journal. Ile has paid them for their paper
to April nest, and bas ordered them to keep
the money and paper, but they still keep his
name in their paper 'as an agent, which he
considers an insult. Mr. COEN is a Buchan
an man—and is 'not ashanied to let - the pub
lic generally, and particularly those who
heretofore labored with him in the Whig par
ty, know it.
TROUBLE IN THE CAMP. JOAN ASHMAN,
Esq., of Clay township, until within a ,few
months, one of the most prominent, respecta
ble, and intelligent leaders in the opposition
ranks, has taken the stump for Buchanan
and Breckinridge, and the Democratic cause
generally. We learn from him that many of
his neighbors, old line Whigs like himself,
will also warmly support the Democratic
nominees. The truth is, the hest men of the
old Wliig party evely where, are falling into
line with the Democracy.
MARYLAND 13. S. SENAT'ORS.-MC SSTS. PRATT
and Prancr.„ the Senators from Maryland. in
the Senate of the United States, have both
written letters announcing their determina
tion to support Btrcui - .NAx and. BRECKINRID GE.'
This announcement will materially influence
the result in that State, as both of these gen- .
tlemen belonged- to the Whig party, and their
influence is very considerable.
The le i tter of Mr. PRATT - will be found in
to-day's paper. Don't neglect to read it.
rte...A gentleman in St. Louis has offered
to bet twenty-five hundred dollars against one
thousand, that Mr, FILLMORE will not get
L'ouisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.
- 40— We heard e lady say the other day,
'that the AnkbrotypeS taken by Mr. AJMER,
at his room in- the Court House, were the
" most beautiful" she had ever seen. A ,gen
ileman Who is a judge of nice things, says
Mr. AUXER takes the most life-like portraits
he has ever had the pleasure of looking at.
KENTUCKY.—TheJ a test returns from Ken
tucky only go to complete the disastrous
route of the Know Nothing party. From - one
end of the State to the other they have been
badly beaten. The Democratic majority will
be very * large. The Louisville Times esti
mates it at 10,000. Inasmuch as Kentucky
has seldom before voted a Democratic ticket,
the news of this astonishing result will have
a mighty effect all over the Union, and go
far toward swelling the mighty tide which is
bearing the great Pennsylvania statesman
and orator to the Presidential chair. In No
vember, we predict, Kentucky will choose
Democratic- electors by at least 20,000 ma
, j ority.
Iffissouni.—ln Missouri, Colonel Benton,
who ran as a candidate for Governor in order
to defeat and distract the Democracy if pos
sible, has perhaps accomplished his purpose,
although it is by no moans 'certain. The last
-intelligence frcm -St. Louis is to the effect that
the contest between Pak, Democrat, and. E
wing:, Know Nothing,, for, Governor, is very
close. .The result will not be, known for sev
eral days. Colehel Benton, outside of St:
LoulS, appears to be emphatically nowhere.
:Green, Democrat, is elected to Congress, and
Caruthers, probably, also, in the Seventh
District. John S. Phelps, Democrat, is un
doubtedly elected.
NORTH CAnoLINA.,--Returns from fifty
counties show a Democratic -gain of about
0,000 in the vote for . Bragg, the candidate
for Governor.
egt - P., • Xs:.

k
The Democrats have also gained about
twenty members of the Legislature.
The latest election returns from all parts
of the State indicate that the Democratic ma
jority will be about 8,000.
ARKAls.iSS.S.—Sufficient returns have been
received to show that Conway, democrat, has
carried the State over Yell, his "American"
competitor. Conway's majority will range,
according to present appearances, from 3000
to 5000.
The Legislature is largely Democratic, and
Warner and Greenwood, Democrats, are both
elected to Congress.

Republicans, by a small majority.

The Glorious Victory in Kentucky.
The Democratic victory in Kentucky is
overwhelming,;. Nobly have the old line
Whigs of that gallant State carried out their
principles in acting as our allies in this im
portant contest. Every where are they doing
the same, acting with and for the only Na
tional party now in existence in the country.
The Louisville Courier, an old line Whig pa
per has the following gratifying intelligence :
TIE _RESULT IN KENTUCKT.—We have re.
turns by telegraph from several of the most
important points of the State. They all in
dicate• very large and decisive gains for the
Anti-Know-Nothings. Indeed, .we have no
doubt but that the result of yesterday's elec
tion in Kentucky - will show a majority of ten
thousand for the Democracy. The issue of
.party polities in this election was forced upon
the Democratic party, and it has manfully,
and triumphantly met the issue. This result
is but a foretaste of November. Throughout
Kentucky the love of the Union preponder
ates above all oath-bound and secret factions.
The news strikes the enemies of the Union
with consternation. Their hopes arc blasted
in every quarter. lowa as good as lost to the
Republicans, Indiana and Illinois sure to vote
the Democratic ticket, with the chances that
Ohio Will.do the same—no hope for them in
Wisconsin, very little in Michigan, New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Maine or Rhode Island, it is no wonder that
the FRE3iONTERS have such long faces, and
heavy hearts.
The Louisville Time. explains the causes
that operated to swell. the Know-Nothing ma
jority in that city. They will hardly be al
lowed to operate at the Presidential election
in November, so we may confidently expect
a still greater majority at that time than the
one - we have now obtained. - The following
is the article to which we have alluded:
THE ELECTION IN LOUISVILLE.—There was
an election held in this city yesterday, but
the. Know Nothings had it all their own way.
But few Democrats went to the polls, nor
could they be persuaded to do so. Numbers
of the very best Democrats in the city posi
tively refused to vote. They preferred that
the election should go by defaidt, than to en
ter the contest unorganized and unprepared,.
where but a partial Democratic vote ,could be
given. As for the Germans, they nearly - all
left the city, with their families, on Satur
day, Sunday, and yesterday morning, appre
hending rioting and mobs on the part of the
Know Nothings. The city is yet under "the
reign of terror," although there was no riot
ing yesterday.
The Know Nothings were busy all day,
and doubtless voted' their full strength.
The intimation already thrown out, that
the, Black Republicans in the House of Re
preientatives will refuse to" pass the regular
Appropriation Bilis, unless they can have a
Kansas capital for the Presidential election,
is beginning to startle the most drowsy and
lethargic sluggards in theeountry. Let them
carry out their infamous threat if they dare,
Let them paralyze the whole machinery of
Government, virtually putting an end to its
very existence ; let them disband the army,
dismiss the officers of the navy, discharge all
the mechanics and workingmen at our navy
yards, suspend all public business at our cus
tom houses,
post offices, United States Courts
—let them do all this in their desperate mad
ness-and unscrupulous fanaticism, and the
people will brand their names with irredeem
able infamy. Wo shall see if such an atro
city will not rouse the masses of our people
like it trumpet-call. Let the negro advocates
carry out their threat if they dare. "Whom
the gods intend to . destroy, they first make
mad."
The Elections—Glorious Results.
Black Republican Patriotism
A. Word to Old-Line Whigs !
"The Abolition movement is clearly unconstitutional,
and dangerous to the peace and happiness of the Union.—
As long as I live, I will never sanction the efforts of these
men to create sectional parties, and array ono portion of
the Union against the other."—Dann Wriurnm.
"I have always been a Whig, but if tho Whig party de
generates into a contemptible Abolition party, I will no
longer boa Whig."—llannor CLAY. •
"I will join myself to no party that does not carry the
'Flag, and keep step to the Music of the Union."—lturus
CnoArE.
Here, Old Line Whigs, you have what
three great leaders of the Whig party, as it
existed in its palmiest days, thought of the
Black Republicans. Such, says the Luzerne
Union, is the language of patriots,who found
ed the Whig party ; who labored for. its suc
cess, and who loved it with all the fervor of
their great souls.—Yet they loved their coun
try more, and when. they saw that their par
ty was in danger of being corrupted by Abo
litionism, they rose above its trammels, and
stood by the Constitution, which it was aban
doning. And such is precisely the position
of thousands of gallant old Whigs, North
and South, at the present time.—flow can
any Whig vote for the candidate of a "con
temptible Abolition faction," with the warn
ings of such old patriots as . CLAY and WEB
STER before him? How can he vote for
Jams; C. FREMONT, who is the embodiment of
those very principles which the sage of Marsh
field declared were "dangerous to the peace
and happiness of the Union?" As long as
he reveres the memory of those groat men;
as long as he remembers their eloquent ap
peals in behalf of the Constitution, and their
deep anxiety for the.safety of the Union—he
can never consistently sustain those section
al measures, the success bf which would only
be the prelude to a dissolution of the Union.
If HENRY CLAY and DANIEL WEBSTER were
alive to-day, there can be no doubt but they
would be hearty supporters of the Democrat
ic nominees. It were a libel upon their mem
ory, to suppose that they would be giving
their support to the enemies of that country
and that Constitution, in the defence of which
they spent the greater part of their lives!
They warned their countrymen of the evil
tendencies of sectional parties, because their
effect would be to create a bitter hostility be
tween different sections of the country, and
weaken the bonds of national brotherhood.
Would that those illustrious statesmen were
still living, to utter their voice of condemna
tion against the dangerous fanatics who are
now endeavoring to elect FREMONT to the
Presidency by the votes of only half of the
Union As certain as they had a voice to
speak, would they denounce this effort as
treason, and those engaged in it as meriting
the d.oom of traitors. •
Will the Old Line :Whigs so far forget the
wise admonitions of CLAY and WEBSTER and
CHOATE, as to vote for, the election of a see
tioupl candidate to the Presidency of this
great nation ? oTe have too much faith in
their patriotism to think that they will.; • They
should not, for the sake of their posterity,
vote for the political la . aniacs, who are band
ed together for the avowed purpose of dissol
ving the Union. Let them follow the exam
ple of IVEESTER, and frown upon the efforts
of these men to "create sectional parties, and
array one portion of the Union against the
other."
Good adiiice
Go TO Wonu.l—:-The democracy have flung
to the breeze the banner of the constitution,
and every Democratic voter is called upon to
rally around its standard. We have a wily,
unscrupulous and desperate foe to meet.—
Scheming and plotting in secret, working by
artifice, dealing in misrepresentations, utter
ing falsehoods, pursuing their selfish aims
even to the verge of civil war, these arch
demagogues must be met at the very .thresh
hold, confronted at every step, and exposed
at every point. Every individual Democrat
must go to work, actively, zealously, and
above all go to workflow! The fact that we feel
sure of success must not slacken our efforts.
GO TO WORK
and circulate Democratic -doeuznents and pa
pers which discuss fairly and ably the great
questions at issue in the present contest.—
Misrepresentation and falsehood'are already
rife—false and hypocritical philanthropy,
with the smooth and cunning tongue of the
serpent, has already began its gathe of de
'cepa* and must be promptly met with facts
and arguments.
GO TO WORK
and inculcate the necessity of harmony, of
union, of concert, of action, and. well-direc
ted effort on all occasions, and at all times.
Let every Democrat adopt the glorious motto
first uttered. by Benton—." Union, harmony,
self-denial, concession—everything for the
cause, nothing for men!"
GO TO WORK
for the time has come predicted by Daniel
Webster, " when all good men and true will
be called upon to rally around the flonstitn
tion, and when we raise that banner it shall
glitter, like the Oriflame 1" The hour is up
on us sooner than.the prophet or his listeners
could anticipate, and the banner of the Con
stitution waves over the Democratic citadel,
and through the length And breadth .or the
land. the watch-fires of DeMocracy are light
ed calling on " all.good men and true" to the
'rescue.
~The Von. E. B. Webb, Whig candi
date for Governor of Illinois in 1852, has
written a Democratic letter, , to friend
which has been published. He says he; in
tends to act with the Democratic party here
after, on the gratuld that it is the only true
national party, devoted to the perpetuity and
prosperity of the country.
The State Election
The State Democratic Convention which
assembled in Chambersburg on Wednesday
last, nominated JonN" RowE, of Franklin
county, for Surveyor General, in place of
TIMOTHY IVES, resigned. Mr. 'ROWE .was
nominated on the Bth ballot, and we are limp
py to learn that the utmost good feeling pre
vailed.
The State Ticket is now complete, and we
call upon the Democrats of Pennsylvania to
gird on their armor at once and prepare for
the contest. The whole force of the opposi
tion is concentrated on their State ticket, and
if we want to beat them, every man who has
the good of the cause, the election of Bu-
CTIANAN, and the preservation of the Union
at heart, must be up and doing. We have
Gno. Scoir, J.Acor: Env, jr., and JOHN ROWE ;
against THOMAS E. COCHRAN, DARWIN PHELPS,
and BARTHOLOMEW LAPORTE—three true and
tried national Democrats against three un
tried Black Republican disunionists. This
is enough to incite the Democracy of Penn
sylvania to action. Upon the October elec
tion in this State .depends in some measure
the result of the PreHd.ential election, and
no effort should be left untried to elect the
Democratic candidates. Notwithstanding the
howlings of the disunionists and thOvamit
ings of the Fillmore men, the Democracy.of
Pennsylvania can and will carry the State
ticket if they will but organize and act. We
trust that our Democratic friends throughout
the State will act upon these suggestions, and
roll up a triumphant majority, for SCOTT,
Fay and Rown, on the 14th of OCtober.

The Democratic Mass Meeting at Chain
bersburg.
CIEAMBERSBURG, Aug. 7, 1850
MY DEAR UNION:—The greatest day that
Franklin county has witnessed for many
years is just terminating. "It was a day,
and such a day, oh I long to be remembered - 1"
It was a day that will not soon be ftirgotten
by the hundreds and thousands who were
here assembled. From the north and south,
from the cast and the west, from the-mount
ains and the valleys, from the farm houses
and the villages the masses flocked to testify
their devotion to the Union, and their fidelity
to the Democratic party. They came \Vita
the glorious sentiments of patriotism blazing
upon their streaming banners; and with the
pure emotions of patriotism swelling up in
every chamber of their hearts. Their jubi
hint shouts of anticipated triumph rolled
along these rich valleys and echoed away
over the neighboring mountains. Fine ar
ches tastefully trimmed with flowers - were
thrown across the principal streets„ and in
numerable banners with various devices float
ed from public buildings and private resi
dences. In the Diamond two • large and
significant banners were raised-=-one „was
headed "Buchanan's Union," and'Was,a map
of the United States, with every State spread
out in its full proportion and beauty. The
other was "Fremont's Union," and waS a
dilapidated, tattered map, containing but
the fifteen northern States. Those two sim
ple banners were full of soleMn admonition.
The procession formed at 1 o'clock, in the
following order: The Wheatland Club, of
Lancaster, with a band, and several flags ;
on one was inscribed the motto "The Federal
Union, it must and shall be preserved."
Another had "The unconquerable East Ward,
the home of James Buchanan—we know him,
we respect him, and will honor him." Then
came delegations from Fayetteville, SOuth
Mountain, Carlisle, each bearing banners
with appropriate sentiments.—Next came
the Harrisburg Club, with a band, headed
by a wagon in which there was a large
"Buck" with immense antlers, upon which
the star spangled banner was borne. Next
was the Chambersburg delegation with a
band and flags; on one was emblazoned the
sentiment, "Franklin county gave birth to a
national Statesman, and will be true to the
national compact." Then followed delega
tions from New Franklin, Antrim, Mercers
burg, Waynesburg, Gettysburgh, Campbell
town, Lowden, Greencastle, McConnelsburg,
New Guilford, and a number of other places
whose names I could not get. After march
ing through the town, the procession moved
out to a- beautiful grove, where a speakers'
stand, and seats were conveniently arranged.
When the immense multitude circled around
the stand, then for the first time could all be
seen together, and I tell you it was a sight
that would strike treason dumb. I would
you could have looked upon that "sea of up
turned faces," have seen their flashing eyes,
and heard their shouts of thunder in response
to patriotic sentiments; then you could have
no doubt that the people are rising in indigna
tion to give a signal rebuke to sectionalism,
and all that tends to disturb the tranquility
of our common country. The- crowd was
variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty
thousand. I have no disposition to exagger
ate, and I adopt the lowest estimate, and
call upon you and all your readers to rejoice
that in this old Whig region, twenty thous
and freemen turned out to the rallying cry
of the Union and the Constitution. The meet
ing was called to order by Col. Forney,
Chairman of the State Central Committee,
upon whose motion .Hon. James Nili, of
Franklin county was called to the chair. A
long list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries
were elected, whose names you will get in
the papers of this place. Mr. Nil
short and pertinent speech, and introduced'
Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Ga., who was re
ceived with three deafening cheers. For
more than an hour he held that vast audience
enchained listening to one of the clearest,
most earnest, convincing and, unanswerable
arguments it has ever been nry, good fortune
to hear. He exposed the deceptions of Know
Nothingism, and the dangers 'of Republican
ism, and repelled the slanders that are con
stantly heaped upon the south. He declared
that the south do not ask that Congress shall
legislate in favor of the extension of slavery;
they only ask that the people of the territo
ries be permitted to exercise the same right
we enjoy—that they be allowed to regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way,
and then if slavery is prohibited in the new
States and territories the south has not a
word to say. Ile was frequently and enthu
siastically-applauded. Hon. Josiah Randall,
and. Col. S. W. Black were both called, on,
but fearing a shower they had gone into town.
They will both -speak to-night in the Court
Muir. Daniel Dougherty, Esq., closed the
meeting in the grove with a beautiful little
speech, full of Democracy and. patriotism.
After the speeches, to-night, we are to
have a magnificent display of fire works,
under the directions of Messrs. Edy, of Now
York. I forgot to tell you that last night
the Court House was crowded, to listen to
Hon. Josiah Randall, Col. Black and Judge
Wilson. , They all made capital and telling
speeches. Randall and Wilson are both old
line Whigs, who for years battled in the
front ranks of their party, and now that it
has gone down, they find no sympathy or
congeniality save among the Democracy,
with whom they have this common feeling
of devotion to our country and its best inter
est. These venerable, noble men, stand up
and plead with their old associates to rally,
with them under our banner, and hundreds
in response to their call, are daily:joining in
our shout of "Buchanan and the Union."
Again, I must speak' of the • kindness and
hospitality of the warm hearted citizens of
Cha,mbersbur,g, who magnanimously opened
their houses to the acconunodatien and enter
tainment of strangers.
In the greatest possible haste, I am still
yours, SQUIBOB.
The Truth of History !
'Resolved, That the 'American Democracy recognize and
adopt the principles contained in the organic laws estab
lishing the Territories of Kan6as and Nebraska, as embody
ing the only sound and safe solution of the "slavery ques
tion" upon which the great national idea of the people of
the whole country can repose, in its determined conserva
tism of the Union=non-interference by Congress with sla
very, in State and Territory, or in the District of Columbia.
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of
all Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting
through the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority
of actual residents, and whenever the number of their in
habitants justifies it, to form a ConstitntiOn, with or with
out domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon
terms of perfect equality with the other States.
Such are thewords of the resolutions adopt
ed by the National Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati. Their spirit ia_as clearly mani
fest as their words can make it, and when the
occasion which gives impulse to :the vile pur
poses of sectional agitation shall have passed
by, -history will do them justice. The people
of the United States, however, unless we en
tirely mistake their character and temper,
will anticipate history, and furnish, it with
materials for a correct relation, by their vin
dication of the Democracy in November next.
' The entire capital of the opposition is Kan
sas. Their whole argument a" brazen menda
city. On the assertion that the Democratic
party proposes to extend slavery into territory
now free, they rest their entire case. Remove
that foundation, and judgment, by default,
must be rendered against Black Republican
ism. We pronounce the assertion wholly and
wilfully false. To prove this two things must
be looked" at : Ist, the condition of Kansas ;
2d, the action of the Democratic party. With
regard to the first, the majority and minority
reports of the Committee of Investigation
equally prove the Border Ruffians and - Free
State Men to have stood on the same ground,
and that if any excess of clicatery existed, it
was decidedly on the Free State side. And
Theodore Dwight, President of the Kansas'
League, testifies as follows ;
Ist. That but a small part of Kansas lies been the thea
tre of the lawless invasions of the pro.: I.tvery invaders;
that Kansas river, and Ossawattamy, in the southeastern
portion of the Territory, have bent the principal points of
attack of predatory and murderous bands, \\davit: lawless
and savage conduct have disgraced the ClMntry and chili
ration. But it should lie borne in mind that there are
many towns beyond those districts, more or less remote.
where the danger and apprehension have been less, and
where the settlers have not only remained, but have pur
sued their business sufficiently to secure considerable crops,
which are now lint ripening, and promising a rich reward
lhr their labor and perseverance.
The season has been healthy, and favorable to agdP
culture; no complaints have reached us of drought, Which
part of last year and the year previous was SO de•strau•tive.
4th, "_Maury settlers front the free States, still expect, as
well as hope for a favorable issue of tho question. and
some of them have already Iwgun to reap the advantages
promised by that choice and central region of the Union.
sth. "The settlers from our own State, and many others,
have conducted in a manner most creditable to themselves,
their country, and the cause of freedom.
6th. it-The Cleorgians 'who went to Kansas to drive out
the free settlers, appear to have become settlers Mei nselves ;
and how could they? They could not secure land without
living on it : they could }tot live on it withont working.
and they could not work 'without disp - acing themselves,
and denying their own fundamental doctrines.
7th. •• Everything concurs to prove that very few of the
Pre-Slavery agitators are, or are likely to lie, boar jb?s in
habitants of the Territory. No man call secure more than
160 acres for seine time to come; on so small a tract he
could not advantageously' employ slaves, even if he were
willing to trust slaves on what may lee made free soil, mai
where he thinks the danger of losing theme to be more
than it is.
Sth. "thibrmation has just been received by the L(`Zigllts,
from the West, front a private source, that a great number
of free settlers are pouring into Kansas, by sere/ al twites.
with theiPAvagens and fmilies, having been invited by
their friends in some of the undisturbed districts; and that
Col. Lane and his friends have already probably entered.
and taken their chosen positions in select places, veil pro
vided, like the others, to enter upon their new farms, and
to sustain themselves until they can begin to derive their
support from the fertile soil of that splendid Territory."
Thus their own witness proves, that instead
of all Kansas being invaded and disturbed,
the trouble has been confined to " a small
par!, 'lying along the Kansas river:" that the
free State men have been unmolested every
where else : that theyin fact occupy, and are
the dominant party in Kansas, and arc able
to eat up all• the slaveholders in the Territory
at a meal—if they see fit; and, finally, that
the Georgians and Missourians are settling
peaceably, and going to work on their farms !
Will Black Republicanism attempt to im
peach its own witness ? Or will it have the
honesty to come out and admit that the whole
thing is settled, and that if Kansas be let
alone at the North it Must be a free State ?
And, moreover, that the South will not stir a
finger to prevent its being a free State. With
regard to the second assertion, viz: that the
Democratic party is a pro-slavery party, what
are the facts? Simply these. That the Dem
ocratic party is a national and not a sectional
party. That its organization embraces the
inhabitants of every State in the Union, That
its members in the slave States belieVe in the
expediency of slavery as a domestic institu
tion. That' its members in the free States,
upon equal - grounds of expediency and inter
est, prefer white labor; and have abolished
slavery as a local institution. , That each ad
mits the undmibted right of the" other to judge
of what is best, and most for their own State
interests. That the Democracy of the North
have neither love nor interest in slavery.—
That the . Democracy of . the South have both;
and that each have always acted upon, and
propose always to act upon, the rule of mind
ing their own business, and not interfering
with what don't concern them. That Slavery
is recognized by the Constitution, and that
wherever the people choose to establish negro
slavery as a local and domestic institution,
the Constitution gives them .the power and
the right to do so. That it is therefore equal
ly impolitic and unjust for one section of the
Union, which has elected not to have slavery,
and with whose election no Southern State or
man ever attempted or dreamed 'of interfe
ring, to endeavor, directly or indirectly, to
prevent the exercise of a similar freedom of
choice by those communities which do elect
to have slavery as a domestic institution.—
That, in fine, the Constitution gives no State
any power or privilege to interfere with a sis
ter State. That it does not confer upon the
General Government any power to interfere,
either in 'paling slaves of those now free, or
free men of those now slaves. That it leaves
the General Government, in fact, incompetent
to inquire of the subject, in any manner, way
or shape whatever—vesting the whole right
in The several States themselves. That since
this is so—since the States are impotent to in
terfere with each other, and the General Gov
ernment impotent to interfere with the States,
it is idle, wicked, mischievous, treacherous
and treasonable, to, turn the subject of slav
ery into the principle of a party and the sta
ple of a political agitation. Such is the whole
system of the Democratic party on the sub
ject ; and we appeal to the common sense, and
common honesty of the people of the 'United
States, whether that system is not as good,
true, wholesome .and Constitutional, as the
system of Black Republicanism is wicked,
false, pernicious, and destructive of the Con
stitution and the glorious Union it cements.

From the Daily Evening Argils
* What will you do about it ?
The slavery restricting proviso will never
be applied to the Territories. Nor will the
Missouri.. Compromise ever be re-enacted.
The Republicans Themselves voted against
such re-enactment, the other day in Congress.
They do not propose it' in their platform. It
is quite Certain, then, that hereafter, each
Territory will be left to decide for itself
whether or no it will have negro slavery.
It is quite certain that this "principle" of the
Nebraska Bill will be—aye is—the fixed
policy of the United States,
Now, the Republicans themselves, yielding
this great point—proposing no . change in
this self-governing policy:---yet undertake to
render it nugatory by raising clamor and
false issues. "Vote for Fremont," say they,
"and Kansas will be free." But how is this?
By the law as it is, the people of Kansas can
decide for themselves, whether or not they will
allow slaveholding in their Territory. Sup
pose, then, that Col. Fremont were the Presi
dent. Would he be the people of Kansas ?
Could he settle the question for them? Would
lie try to force them to adopt the system of
free labor? Or would 'he employ all the
patronage, and influence, anti money at his
disposal to manufacture opinion and majori
ties in Kansas ? Were he to do so, he would
be abusing his high office. Surely the Re
publicans do not dare to - promise that his
election would secure free labor to Kansas
in this way !
Or do they mean that Fremont's election
would be a demonstration of opinion in favor
of "free Kansas ?" So it would be—of Nort
hern opinion. But would the people of Kan
sas be controlled by that? Our American
communities are proverbially independent,
and suit themselves and their own localities,
no matter how others may think or express
themselves.
But the Republicans come to thiS at last,
that President Pierce is trying to force slav
ery into Kansas, and that James Buchanan
will also try to do so, and that Col. Fremont
will desist from such an effort. Now we
deny—flatly, broadly, and peremptorily deny
that the President or his administration, or
the Democratic party are trying any such
thing—and challenge the proof. The Presi
dent is simply maintaining peace in Kansas.
The DeMocratie Senate have even gone so
far as to propose concessions for the sake of
peace. The Pacification Bill passed in the
Senate is so obviously fair and impartial,
that the Republicans can only object to it by
imputing bad motives to its friends, or by
affecting to fear that it will be unfairly car
ried out. This Bill meets the unqualified
and universal approbation of the Democratic
party, because its obvious result will be to
restore peace and harmony to distracted Kan
sas, and clearly ascertain the unforced will
of her real people. Everybody who knows
anything of James Buchanan, and his emi
nent mildness, benevolence, and wisdom,
feels sure that his Administration would ad
dress itself with untiring solicitude to the
grateful work of barmonizinm Kansas, and
giving the freest scope to the wishes of her
settlers., A man is a gump, ninny, and ig
noramus of the first water who does not com
prehend that James Buchanan—a steady,
sensible, solid; simple hearted Pennsylvanian
—must be a conciliatory and impartial and
just President, who could not know how to
be anything also. James Buchanan, in the
Pennsylvania spirit of quietness and equity,
will aid the Territory of Kansas in, govern
ing itself, and mouldinr , its own institutions.
Now what else can John C. Fremont do?
He is not a walking Wilmot Proviso, or
Missouri Line--he could not do the thinking
and voting for Kansas. Even with Fremont
as President, 'Kansas would settle her domes
tic affairs fbr herself. If she wishes free
labor she can and will have it—if a majority
of her citizens prefer to introduce negro
slavery, how could 'Fremont as President
_prevent it? Let the Republicans answer that
question.
'From the Lancaster Intelligence:
'Buchanan at Home * !
The enthusiasm for Mr. BUCHANAN in Lan
caster county, is steadily increasing. From
every section of the county our information
is of the most gratifying character. lie will
not only poll the entire Democratic vote, but
hundreds of old line Whigs and -scores of
Americans will vote for him. They cherish
him as an esteemed neighbor and friend—as
a man with whom they have been long and
intimately acquainted—a statesman whose
only aspiration is the good of his country and
the union and perpetuity of the Republic.
It is too early yet to predict the result in
Lancaster county. Many of our friends aro
of the opinion that he will carry the county
over both the other candidates' combined—
and we are not without hope that such will
le' the case. Yet we wouht not be too san-:
. .
gutne, as an opposition majority of five thous
and is a large margin to overcemo ; but.if he
should carry the county it will be one of the
greatest political triumphs upoaracord. One
thing, however, is certain that, if ha does not
succeed over the combined forces of the en
emy, he will run them very close and leave
them nothing-at all to brag of after the battle
is ended. '
Our friends at a distance may rest assured
that, under any - circumstances, ETARES BU
CHANAN will make a tremendous poll in his
own county. Ile will have, by far, the strong
' est vote ever given to a Democratic candidate
here, notwithstanding the lying assertions
and villainous misrepresentations or the paid
letter 'writers for the Black *publican press.
of the country. We are not in the habit of
boasting—but we know what we say when
we predict that our friends in this and other
States will have no cause to be ashamed of
Lancaster county on the 4th of Novinber.---
If every other county does as well in propor
tion to their vote, we should not doubt that
his majority in Pennsylvania will reach fifty
thousand We want our friends to remem
ber what we have said, and then tell us after
the election whether our prediction has not
been abundantly verified.
