Enthusiastic Democratic Rally at Seals-
The Democracy of West, Barree and Jack
son townships, made a glorious demonstra
tion at Saulsburg, on Thursday the 18th inst.
In company with a , small delegation from
Huntingdon, we arrived there at 11 o'clock,
in time to assist in raising a beautiful Moho-
r,ir pole.
At 12 o'clock,, a delegation arrived from
Jackson township, drawn by three eight-horse
and several two-horse teams, composed of la
dies and Democratic voters, with banners,
flags and martial music. A team of eight
splendid horses, from Barree, drawing a full
load of the pure and unterrified, with ban
ners, also, made a handsome display.
At 2 o'clock, the meeting organized on the
hill-side, east of town, by calling GEO. JACK
soN, of Jackson township to the Chair, and
Martin Orlady, Henry Roberts, Thos. Oz
born, Daniel Massey, John Cuningham,
(West,) John Murry, Samuel Coen, Major

The President, on taking the Chair, made
a few purely Democratic remarks, when, on
motion, Win, Colon took the stand, and was
followed by John Scott, Esq., and Gen. A. P.
The meeting was large and enthusiastic,
and we noticed many of the opposition pre
sent, who appeared to be well pleased with
the remarks of the Speakers. If there were
100 votes made, there certainly were none lost
to the Democratic candidates.

The indications are that the Democratic County Ticket
will be elected by an overwhelming, majority. Every dis
trict in the county will give an increased Democratic vote.
Tho "bargain and sale" lately consmnmated by the lead

The Allies of lildek Republicanism.
The Pennsylvanian says that the letter of
its London correspondent, published on Mon
day, contains•the following startling extract:
"The almost exclusive topic of discusgion,
from the Ministerial "Bureau" of Downing
street to the humblest Ale-house in England,
is whether the Republic of America shall
stand in its unity with Buchanan, or fall in
its dissolution with Fremont—the former issue
of. your struggle being the hope of the De
mocracy and the dread of the Aristocracy of
Europe. I trust that your Black Republican
party are not so modestly blind to the merits
of their cause as to imagine its partizans ex
ist only in their native land ;' if so, perhaps
they may be agreeably surprised to learn
that they may safely calculate on the firm, sup
port and alliance of Francis Joseph, of Aus
tria; of Frederick William of Prussia, of
Queen Isabella of Spain, qf Louis Napoleon
of France, of every petty de.spot in _ltaly and
Germany, and above all, of Lord Palmerston
and the British Oligarchy.
The deep interest felt in the present great
struggle by the enemies of Republican Gov
ernments abroad, and their intense desire to
see our grand experiment of self-government
utterly wrecked by the continuance of sec
tional agitation, and the triumph of the -foes
of the Union and the Constitution, under the
leadership of FREMONT, becomes each day
more clearly apparent. Their presses and
organs cannot refrain from giving vent to
their feelings, and applauding Fremont to
the echo, because they consider him a fitting
instrument to effect the end they have so long
but vainly wished for, the dissolution of our
Union and destruction of our national power
and greatness. They know that united we
are impregnable against all their assaults,
that so long as the Union survives all their
malice is impotent, that under a flag of thirty
one States we can defend curselves against a
world in arms. But if the foundations of
our government be broken up, if discordant
and jarring passions weaken an 'vide us,
if our now proud Confederac omes
mere loose aggregation of petty warring
States, we will be utterly at their mercy.—
Hence their sympathy with the FREMON'T
movement. As the Republicans of America
hail with delight• a successful revolution
against the aristocrats of Europe, and if ne
cessary, not only sympathize, but contribute
their means to sustain such a movement, so at
this moment the tyrants and aristocrats of
Europe are regarding with illy-concealed ex
ultation, the Black Republican crusade
against the Constitution and the Union, and
doubtless contributing their means to sustain
and encourage it. It is really astonishing
what a lavish expenditure of money the FRE
MONT men are constantly resorting to. Doc
uments are distributed by millions, presses
arc bought up by hundreds, and we are in 7
formed that a well-known gentleman of Phil
adelphia was offered by them recently $2OOO
if he would spend a few weeks in canvassing
certain districts whore his efforts, it was
thought, would prove particularly effective
for FREMONT—an offer which, to his honor be
it said, he indignantly declined. It has been
a mystery to almost every one where these
immense sums of money they are expending
were obtained from. After making all due
allowance for the prostitution of the Kansas
fund to electioneering purposes, and the
band of peculators and politicians who sm.-
round FREMONT, the conclusion seems forced
upon us that the gold of aristocratic foreign
enemies of the Republic has swelled their
coffers.
Let all who have at heart the true welfare
of the country consider well their duty at this
great crisis, and pause and reflect, ere in an
unguarded moment some unworthy or mista
ken motive induces them to join the army of
the foes of the Union and Constitution, and
to thus plunge themselves and their fellow
citizens in an abyss of woe, gladden the
hearts and fulfil the hopes of the tyrants of
Europe, and strike down forever the beacon
light of true liberty throughout the world.
Front the 'Washington Union
A Word to the People.
In view of the angry and dangerous con
troversy that is now agitating the country,
we would ask a thoughtful attention to the
most remarkable contrast between the char
acter of the men who framed our government
and brought it into successful operation, and
those who are now proseeuting every means
of desperation to sectionalize or subvert the
government. For wisdom, virtue, and patri
otism—for all the great and glorious elements
of character that dignify and adorn human
nature in its highest and purest range—Washy
ington and his compatriots hold unequalled
eminence. Through every trial of long suf
fering, danger, and discouragement, they
went through a war of more than seven'years,
and sealed with their blood the mighty tri
umph of our independence.
This was the first step ; the next was to
form a government to carry out the great prin
ciples for which they fought.
The same men sheathed the sword and took
up the pen in peaceful, solemn council to
frame a government for the people by the peo
ple, It was a great task imposed upon wis
dom and virtue to conquer the conflicting in
terests and opinions that were inseparable
from the work, These were to be redonciled
and harmonized as necessary to the consum
mation-of the great end and object.
They accomplished it, to their everlasting
honor, by cherishing a holy brotherhood, by.
subordinating everything to the one great
purpose, and by laying covenant, concessions,
and' compromises on the altar of their infant
country.
The work was not yet fully accomplished.
The next and last step in this labor of love
was to bring this delicate and complex con
ception into practicable operation,
The same pure master mind that led their
armies to victory, and counselled them in
their polity, was called to the civil adminis,
tration of the government. history tells us
how wisely he directed all things, and how
well the vast machinery fulfilled every hope
and every expectation. From his retirement
at Mdunt Vernon he watched and prayed for
his beloved country until he resigned his
eventful life.
His co-laborers, though less renowned,
shared his•virtues and his immortality. Their
great example is before us, and, lamentable
to say, it is treated almost as a fable in . this
degenerate age. The proof is broadcast
throughout the land. We have it in the guil
ty, criminal sectionalism that is dividing our
brotherhood and tearing our Union asunder
with unholy hands and for unrighteous pur
poses. Patriotism is banished in the reign
of licentiousness ; treason is stalking abroad
unmasked ; fratricidal blood is staming the
land ; fanaticism is strewing its baneful in
fluence; the pulpit is desecrating its divine
office by embracing the worst elements of po
litical heresy; and these combined powers
are pulling down the pillars of our great na
tional temple, erected by Washington and his
associates. This is the sad spectacle of the
day I
If it should fall from its tottering base, who
will survive the ruin ? Some historians will
look over the vast desolation, and will record
the names of the traitors who conceived the
fatal conspiracy, and the party that ruined
the last home of civil and religious liberty.
We have but a short time left us to cure
this impending calamity. We must not shut
our eyes to our true condition, but realize it
by looking at it, and tracing its consequen
ces.
If we are capable of being true to our
selves, and rightly comprehending our all-im
portant interests ; if we have enough of vir
tue to choose discreetly between the princi
ples of the great and good men that toiled
for our rich inheritance, and the base here
sies that are supplanting them ; if we would
have our Uniol permanent and our govern
ment prosperorrs, we must come promptly to
the conclusion that we have departed widely
from our duty, and that our only safety is in
a speedy return to the paths and examples of
those who had virtue and patriotism beyond
the reach of faction and the temptations of
unholy ambition.
We are aware that the agitations that sur
round us make this not an auspicious moment
to proclaim danger. But duty constrains us
to repeat the warning that we have often giv

Address of the Convention to George
Washington, President of Congress.
The following is the Address of the Con
vention which framed the Constitution of the
United States to GEORGE WASHINGTON, the
President of Congress. It is a document
which cannot be too deeply reflected upon.—
It shows most clearly and conclusively with
what a spirit of amity, mutual deference and
concession, this sacred bond of our Union
was formed :
Sul :—We have now the honor to submit
for the consideration of the United States, in
Congress assembled, that Constitution which
has appeared to us most desirable.
The friends of our country have long seen,
and desired, that the power of making war,
peace, and treaties ; that of levying money
and regulating commerce, and the correspon
dent executive and judicial authorities, should
be fully and effectually vested in the general
government of the Union; but the impropri
ety of delegating such extensive trust to one
body of men is evident. Hence results the
necessity of a different re-organization.
It is obviously impracticable in the federal
government of these States, to secure all rights
of independent sovereignty to each, and yet
provide for the interest and safety of all.—
Individuals entering into society, must give
up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.—
The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend
as well on situation and circumstance, as on
the object to be obtained. It is at all times
difficult to draw with precision the line be
tween those rights which must be surrender
ed, and those which may be reserved ; and on
the present occasion this difficulty was in
creased by a difference among the several
States as to their situation, extent, habits and
particular interests.
In all our deliberations on this subject we
have kept steadily in our view, that which
appears to us the greatest interest of every
true American, THE CONSOLIDATION OP OUR
UNION, in which is involved our prosperity, fe
licity, safety, and perhaps our national exis
tence. This important consideration, serious
ly and deeply impressed on our minds, led
each State in the Convention to be less rigid
on points of inferior magnitude, than might
have been otherwise expected ; and thus the
Constitution, which we now present, is the
result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutu
al deference and concession which the peculiar
ity qf our political situation reudered indis
pensable.
That it will meet the full and entire appro
bation of every State is not, perhaps, to be
expected; but, each will doubtless consider,
that had her interests been alone consulted,
the consequences might have been particular
ly disagreeable or injurious to others; that it
is liable to as few exceptions as could reason
ably have been expected, we hope and believe
that it may promote the lasting welfare of '
that country so dear to us all, and secure her
freedom and happiness, is our most ardent
wish.
With great respect, we have the honor to
be Sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient
and humble servants,
BY UNANIMOUS ORDER OF THE CONVENTIO*.
Ills Excellency, the President of Congress,
Facts to be Remembered.
Who nominated Mr. BUCHANAN ? Let it
be borne in mind, says the Steuben Farmer's
Advocate, that it was the North I On the
first ballot in the Cincinnati Convention he
received ONE HUNDRED AND ONE votes from
the Free States, and but THIRTY FOUR votes
from the Slave States. The Southern States,
with but two or three exceptions, voted against
hint in a body up to the last ballot, when
they yielded to the force of public opinion.
Yet, on every hand, you hear the Abolition
orators and papers crying out that he is the
Southern candidate—in favor of the extension
of Slavery, &c., &c. JAMES BUCHANAN has
been in public life for over thirty years, and
we challenge any man to produce the first
word or act to prove these base assertions of
an unscrupulous opposition. Ife was born
and educated, and has always lived in a Free
State—and his public life gives the lie to
the charge that he ever favored the extension
of Slavery. Ifovhas always been faithful to
the Constitution of his country, and has taken
that as his guide on the slavery, as well as
all other questions, and has always been
found battling against the unholy schemes
of Southern and Northern Disunionists. lie
is emphatically a Union man, and as such
knows no North, no South, no East, no West.
And who is dons C. FREmoNr ? Born in
a Southern State, and an upholder of Slavery
through life, until within a few months past,
when Seward and Greeley and their Aboli
tion compeers had him nominated as the em
bodiment of Black Republicanism! And this
is the man whom the Negro Worshippers of
the North and East give to the freemen of
Pennsylvania, and ask for their suffrages !
This is the man, without the first claim or
qualification for the Presidency, that the peo
ple of Pennsylvania are asked to support in
preference to their own distinguished States
