THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. Anti-Lecompton 1 Six thousand Democratic Freemen in Coun cil ! ! Greed Enthusiasm I [From the Philadelphia Press.] One of the largest, most respectable, and most enthusiastic Democratic demonstrations ever made in Philadelphia, took place last night, February Bth, at the National Hall, in pursuance of the following call:. The DEMOCRATS of Philadelphia who votOd for JAMES BUCHANAN in 1856, and who aro determined to maintain the Principles and Pledges of the CINCINNATI PLAT FORM, and are therefore inexorably opposed to all at tempts to force the LECOMPTON CONSTITUTION upon the PROTESTING PEOPLE OF KANSAS, in violation of the will of the majority, will meet at the NATIONAL HALL, in this city, on MONDAY EVENING, February 8, at 7 o'clock. The Democracy were out in their strength, and long before the hour at which the meet ing was called, Market street, in front of the Hall, was densely packed by an immense crowd of citizens awaiting entrance. At precisely 7 o'clock the meeting was called to order by David Webster, Esq., who, in proposing John W. Forney for chairman, said: This meeting will please come to order.— I am about submitting to you the names of the gentlemen who have been selected to act as officers of this meeting. It is befitting this great occasion that while we shall give a de cided but respectful expression to the senti ments which animate us, our proceedings shall be marked by the co-operation of those whose devotion to Democratic principles has been constant and unwavering, and whose personal exertions towards elevating Mr. Bu chanan to the Presidency have been both valuable and conspicuous. Tried by this standard, I am sure that the names which I shall read will receive your cordial approba tion. For President of this meeting, I am about to propose a gentleman whose whole life has been devoted to the good of the Democratic party, and who now enjoys its unlimited confidence and respect—one whose high honor it was to lead on the Democratic column of 1856 to a signal victory, and who now possesses the proud distinction of having been the first who raised in our midst the ,glorious banner of "popular sovereignty," around which we rally to-night. In a word, fellow-citizens, I nominate as chairman of this meeting COL. JOHN W. FORNEY. Win. E. Lehman, Esq., seconded the mo tion of Mr. Webster in the following terms : In seconding this motion I desire to say, as a freeman and a Democrat, 1 recognize the right of every man boldly and unequivo cally to express his opinions ; that this is the basis of individual integrity, and no indepen dent citizen will be deterred in the exercise of so unquestionable a right by the fear of non-conformity. As a Democrat, I consider it a fundamental principle that the people of a Territory shall be trotected in the forma tion of their d-Draeslic ins-dtutions—that the will of the 77i0 : graii 71 and that when the pe-Dt - le .7 : f a Terriz.orl- 1)5 . unmistakablee-i - ott. tai opT)Dsiti on to a Constitution, it is an at.q of Tyranny Lo force that instrument - upon Iham. I am here, therefore, as one of this .immense multitude, to assert the independence of -individual thought, and, in the name of the Democracy, to protest against the Lecompton fraud, and to declare the right of the people to enact their own laws, free from Federal dictation. The following officers were then unani mously elected : Chairman—John W. Forney. [Then follows the names of over a hun dred Vice Presidents and Secretaries.] Col. John W. Forney, on taking the chair, was greeted with prolonged and hearty cheers. He said : FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN: I feel a deep sen sibility in being called upon to preside over an assemblage so significant as this. It is now more than thirteen years since I came to Philadelphia with the intention of making the city my residence, and pursuing my .pro fession as an editor. I came from the inte rior town of Lancaster, where I had previ ously lived and conducted a Democratic jour nal. At that time the name of James Bu chanan, which was the signal of devotion and enthusiasm in the interior of the State, was not so popular here; and to be his friend, if not to be the friend of an unpopu lar man, was at least to be the friend of an unavailable candidate for President. I reared his flag here in the midst of a hostile commu nity. and persevered from that period until 1856, when I had the proud and glorious privilege of seeing him elected to the highest post in the gift of the American people. It has been my pride and plea Sure to stand un der his flag; I stand under it now. I assert, in the presence of this vast assem blage, that the great doctrine of popular sov ereignty, to which I have dedicated my hum ble life—the great doctrine of popular sover eignty, which we received from our revolu tionary fathers—that doctrine without which the Revolution could not have been achieved, and, not to speak of intermediate events, without which we could not have elected James Buchanan, President—that doctrine I have asserted and defended, both before and since the establishment of the present news paper with which my name is connected, be lieving that it was supported by the Presi dent of the United States. [Applause.] Gentlemen, if I did not see this vast crowd here to-night, I should begin to think that to defend a great principle like that of popular sovereignty was to place oneself under the ban of the Democratic party; but I see here before me the familiar faces of men, who with me stood by Martin Van Buren, in 1840; who stood by James K. Polk, in 1844, [cheers] ; who rallied aorund Lewis Cass, in 1848, and Franklin Pierce, in 1852, [renewed cheers] ; and who are the heroes of the cam paign of 1856, and they tell me that they will maintain and defend this great principle, let the attack come from what quarter it may. [Great applause]. And yet the minions of power tell us that they will read us out of the party ! I speak the sentiments of the Dem ocratic masses of the State-4)f old Berks, Montgomery, Lancaster York, Westmoreland, and all the great West—when I tell you that we are standing on a platform supported by the will of the majority of our Democratic State. [Cheers.] We are not here to threaten : we are not here to ask favors ; we are not here to apolo gize for, or inquire into the motives of men who are attempting to perpetrate this infamous tyranny, this scandalous crime, this most montrous fraud upon us [applause] ; but we are here to demand for ourselves the entire, perfect, and complete right to empress cur sen timents. [Cheers.] We are here to say that in the campaign of 1856—and allow me, for a moment, to be egotistical; I was an organ sof that campaign—we promised our fellow citizens, our brothers, and friends in Kansas, to give them a fair fight. [Shouts of ap plause.] We then, as the Democratic party, put our name to a note which is now due, and if it is protested—these are bad times, gentlemen—we are determined it shall be paid in the end. [Cheers.] We are here to raise our voices, not in petition, not to im plore, but to protest against the attempt to force the Lecompton Constitution, rejected three times by the people of Kansas, upon that people. [Cries of "Right I right 1" and great applause.] We are here to save our glorious old Dcmoratie party from the shame, the sin, and the disgrace of remaining quiet under such an attempt ; and we here declare, if the representatives of the people whom we elect choose to make a test upon us, that when the election again comes around, in October next we will make a test upon them. [lmmense cheering.] We need not defend ourselves for the step we have taken, we need not say that we have no private griefs to avenge, or show that those in favor of the monstrous fabrication of Calhoun are in or wanting office ; we need only point to the leaders of the great Demo cratic party in this contest, Stephen A. Doug las, [cheers] Robert J. Walker, [cheers,] Frederick P. Stanton, [cheers,] and Henry A. Wise, [cheers,] in proof of the justice of our cause, and to say to you that if ever, in ancient or modern times, there were disin terested men, these are the men. [Applause.] I will not treble you any longer, fellow-citi zens ; I will only add that we are here to night to express our entire fidelity to the principle of the Democratic party and the measures of the Administration of James Buchanan, with one exception. [Cheers.] EDWARD G. WEBB then read the follow ing resolutions: TV hereas, The Kansas-Nebraska act and the Cincinnati Platform both embody the just principles of popular sovereignty upon which our Government and all our institutions are based, and recite, in potent language, the unmistakable meaning of their text, that to the people of every organized State and Ter ritory belongs, of right, the prerogative of regulating for themselves their own domestic and local affairs within the limits of the Con stitution, we, the Democracy of Philadelphia in, town meeting assembled, do hereby an nounce, that we will sternly adhere to the great principles enunciated by those two truthful guides for the progress of our party, believing that the safety of our Republc and the happiness of our people depend entirely upon an honest adhesion to the clear import of the Cincinnati Platform and the Kansas- Nebraska act ;—therefore, be it Resolved, That as the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, in the late Presidential contest, plighted its faith to the people of the State and country, that the citizens of Kansas, and all the other Territories of the Union, should decide for themselves the character of their domestic institutions—whether of sla very, or the higher social relations—and as this sacred pledge has the willing sanction and ardent approbation of Mr. Buchanan, and was repeatedly reiterated in our city and State by Secretaries Cobb and Floyd, Post ' master General Brown, and others, during that memorable cmpaign, it would he both unmanly and disgraceful in us, as Democrats, to violate a promise so sacredly given, on the indefensible ground of expediency alone— ! I that being the only reason yet adduced by the friends of the Lecompton Constitution to justify such violation. Resolved, That we declare it to be our un shaken determination to resist every attempt to force upon the people of a Territory any Constitution which has not had their express approval, conscious as we are that resistance to aggression is the only means by which un paralleled wrongs can be redressed. The people of thirty-one States and two Territo ries of this Union (Oregon and Minnesota) have had their paramount law submitted to them, in all its parts, for approval or rejec tion; so that custom, even in the abscence of the Kansas-Nebraska act and the Cincinnati platform, points with unerring fingers to the injustice of ratifying the Lecompton Consti tution. If custom cannot secure aquiescence, or antiquity a small degree of respect, power will surely fail to secure obedience tc error. Resolved, That as State Rights Democrats, jealous of any infraction of this wholesome doctrine, we shall oppose every attempt to in terfere with the sovereignty of the States, either North or South, or with the people of the Territories seeking admission into this Union—the sole guide of the latter being found in the express terms of the Kansas- Nebraska act—and the action of the former resident in the inherent right to make, alter, or abolish their Constitutions in the way pre scribed by the citizens of the individual States. Resolved, That the. Democracy here assem bled have the most perfect confidence in the integrity, patriotism, and statesmanship of Governor Packer, and hail with enthusiastic admiration the declaration enunciated in his Inaugural Address, that " To the people of Pennsylvania the admission of a new State into the Union—into that Confederacy of which she is a member—must be at all times a subject of high interest. And. I believe I express their sentiments, as well as my own in declaring that all the qualified electors of a Territory should have a full and fair oppor tunity to participate in selecting delegates to form a Constitution preparatory to admisson as a State, and, if desired by them, they should also be allowed an unqualified right to vote upon such Consitution after it is framed." This is the,true doctrine of popu lar sovereignty, as-it 'was unanimously un derstood and expressed at Cincinnati, by the Southern and Northern Delegates to the Con vention, who framed the Platform and nomi nated James Buchanan for the Presidency. Resolved, That we cling with unabated zeal to the confidence we have long reposed in James Buchanan, President of the United States; that we support him with enthusiasm in 1856, upon the great principles enunciated at Cincinnati; and that we approve and sup port every part of his policy, thus far devel oped, excepting that in reference to Kansas, from which we do respectfully, but fixedly, dissent. Resolved, That truth is the real object of the masses; the avowed object of all; but truth can neither be long divided against herself, nor made destructive of herself.— She solicits inquiry and courts investigation; her desire being to seek true premises, that fair conclusions may be drawn therefrom.— Now, therefore, as the truth in reference to the Lecompton Convention has reached the mind of the American people, and cannot be obscured, - we express the earnest hope that Congress and the President will unite in sending back the vitiated Constitution to the bona fide citizens of Kansas for their rejection or ratification, Resolved, That we recognise the right of the people of all the Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the le gally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the num ber of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution with or without domestic slavery and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfct equality with the other States. Resolved, That our immediate representa tives in Congress, Messrs. Florence, Landy, Phillips, and Jones, be requested to oppose the Lecompton fraud, as such is the desire of three-fourths of the Democracy of Phila delphia and Montgomery counties, whose opinion on that exciting subject it is their duty to consult; and by so doing aid in sus taining the rights of the people as expressed in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and inculcated by the Cincinnati Platform. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the sen timents of Governor Wise, Senator Douglas, Governor Walker, Secretary Stanton, Hon. Ilarris. and their worthy coadjutors in Con gress, in reference to popular sovereignty, and pledge them our earnest support in their patriotic efforts to maintain our institutions in their republican simplicity as developed in the doctrine of State rights. Resolved, That the Democratic party of this great city has always been distinguished for its devotion to the rights of the States, in cluding those of the South; and that in con tending for the great principle embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and for the fulfil ment of our pledge in 1856, we claim to be supporting . the interests of the South with our obligations as members of the National Democratic Party. Resolved, That we extend the right hand of fellowship to our brother Democrats in New Jersy, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and lowa, who have so nobly re sisted the attempt to force the Lecompton Constitution upon the unwilling people of Kansas, and now call upon our political friends in Pennsylvania everywhere to re spond to the sentiment which protests against that unparalleled fraud. When the reading of the resolutions was concluded, the question was taken, and they were unanimously adopted amidst intense enthusiasm. Fredrick P. Stanton, late acting Governor of Kansas, then addressed the meeting, and was followed by several other gentlemen. . Promises Should Be Fulfilled During the Presidential canvass of 1856, the Democratic party, in all sections of the Un ion, gave the most solemn pledges that .in case of their triumph, the people of Kansas should be granted the full and free right to form a Constitution upon which to be admit ted into the Union. No Constitution, unless it was unanimously agreed to be the choice of a majority of the people of Kansas, was to be accepted. Under this satisfactory and fair policy, our candidates for President and Vice-President, planted themselves, and the people, placing confidence in their assertions, rallied to their support, and carried them into power. No man will deny that without this this assurance, the Democratic party would not have carried Pennsylvania, or, perhaps, even a State in the Union. The promises, so earnestly made, were re-iterated by Presi dent Buchanan in his Inaugural Address, and the subsequent appointments of Gov. Walker and Sec'y. Stanton, were to all appear ance, a re-re-iteration of the same well judged policy. With these assurances before them, the people hailed almost with one accord, the incoming Administration. Partizan feel ings and partizan presses were hushed, and the opposition as well as the Democracy, felt that the principles of our candidates, as ex pressed during the campaign, were truly to be carried out, and there was but one senti ment to be heard—and that of praise. It was felt and beleived that the Kansas difficul ty was at last to be settled in a satisfactory manner, and the whole nation rejoiced at the prospect of a speedy settlement of a question which had shaken the Union from its centre to its circumference. The President, singularly enough it seems to us, has seen proper to approve the admiS si on of Kansas with a constitution which -ev ery man knows to have been begotten in fraud, and represents the views of but a small portion of the people of the territory. In a message of great power and force, he has recommended the adoption of this docu ment, and a majority of the Democratic mem bers in Congress appear to agree with his views. No claim is made that the favored document is the choice of the people of Kan sas, but a technical quibble is resorted to, to give force to its adoption, and it is then proposed that afterwards the people of Kan sas shall proceed to alter and amend it them selves. With due respect to the President, we ask, is this the fairness we promised the nation during the canvass? We admire President Buchanan as a man and a Statesman, as much as ever we did, and look up to him as the great leader of our cause, but in this one particular, our feelings of duty require us to dissent. We believe him to be prompted by a love of country and desire to benefit it alone, in the course he has set out for himself ; but however good may be his motives, and pure his judgement, the promptings of our heart teach us that he has made a mistake in this instance, and we see no reason why we should be set down as an enemy to him, or the party, by expressing our candid opinions. The policy the Presi dent has seen fit to urge in this matter, must inevitably plunge the party in the North, into irretrievable ruin if adopted here ; and must we, as Democrats, sit still and allow such a consummation, without making an effort to prevent it ? No—the Democratic party, if it wishes to maintain the confidence of the peo ple, must stand by its promises ; and in this case, when they were so unequivocal and fair, particularly should they be held sacred. Like in business, when one man has shown himself to, be unworthy of confidence, he is spurned by the community, so it will be with us, unless we preserve our strict integrity.- -Harrisburg Daily Herald. Small-Pox and Vaccination. hall's Journal of Health has the following: —"From extended and close observation, the following general deductions seem to be war ranted :—First, Infantile vaccination is an al most perfect safeguard until the 'fourteenth year. Second, At the beginning of fourteen the system gradually loses its capability of resistance until about twenty-one, when many persons become almost as liable to small-pox as if they had not been vaccinated. Third, this liability remains in full force un till about forty-two, when the susceptibility begins to decline,_ and continues for seven years to grow less and less, becoming extinct at about fifty—the period of life when the general revolution of the body begins to take place, during which the system yields to de cay or takes a new lease of life for two or three terms of seven year each. • Fourth, The grand practical use to be made of these state ments is : Let every youth be re-vaccinated on entering fourteen ' • let several attempts be made, so as to be certain of safety. As the malady is more likely to prevail in cities during the winter, special attention is invited to the subject at this time. Letter of Governor Wise on Kansas Affairs. The following are the main points of the 'letter of Governor Wise, of Virginia, to the anti-Lecompton meeting in Philadelphia: "Governor Wise says that a careful review of the President's message constrains him to differ with the President of his choice. lie protests against the mode in which the Le compton constitution was pretended to be sub mitted, as anti-republican and oppressive, and as offensive to the self-respect and moral sense of a free people. lie admits that the conduct of the Topekaites was violent and unlawful, and that their opponents acted under lawful authority up to the submission of the constitution of the people. But that has nothing to do with the issue—is the con stitution the act and deed of the people, and is the schedule republican? The wrong of the Topekaites will not justify the wrong of the Lecompton convention, nor cure the de fects of the Lecompton schedule which though providing for its ratification or rejection, was submitted for approval alone, without allow ing a vote upon its rejection. He contends that there was obliviously a sinister and anti-republican purpose in thus giving an un fair election as to part of the constitution, with no election as to the whole. He denies the assertion of the President that no people could have proceeded with more regularity in the formation of a constitution than the people of Kansas have done. The people were not allowed a fair election at all. "A fair election could not be held under the schedule, as appears from its face. He combats the President's idea that the admis sion of Kansas would speedily end the agita tion in Congress and localize it in Kansas.— He declares that it never can" be local.— Again, it is all essential that the settlement shall be just, right and equal; and if not so, it is sure to be mischievieous to that party snatching power without right, and doing wrong that good may come. The ulterior effect of adopting the Lecompton constitu tion will be worse than referring back the question for territorial decision. It will ar raign the Democracy and the South for de manding more than is right; it will return the chalice to our own lips, when the Kan sas question again and again arises in our boundless domain of unsettled Territories; it will drive away thousands of honest Dem ocrats to raise the Black Republican flag over the Capitol in the next struggle for pow er, and then raise the last dread issue of dis union. "Ile concludes by addressing the commit tee as the friends of Mr. Buchanan and the Administration, who has his best wishes and warmest friendship, and whom he would save both from danger and defeat. Ile trusts in their pure and patriotic motives, but he regards much more the Democracy of the South and the Union, and professes anx iety for their fate. For himself, he fears nothing; firmly standing on the right, in spite of friends and foes." The Bad Lands of Nebraska Professor Wharton, of Kenyon College, contributes to the Protestant Episcopal Quar terly Review for this month a brief but high ly interesting article on the "illauvaisis Ter- MS, " or Bad Lands of Nebraska. He main tains that, "so far as the occupation of arra ble lands is concerned," (on this side of the Rocky Mountains,) " we have reached the extreme limit of our territorial extension, striking westward from the Mississippi val ley." The eastern slope of the Rocky Moun tains is bounded by a "vast extent of rain less plains." Between these plains and the head waters of the Missouri he the very re markable deserts above named—a formation found in Central and. Northern Nebraska, in Western Kansas and Arkansas. This for mation, belonging to the age known by geolo gists as the Early Tertiary; is described as " a basin of fossil cemeteries, sinking nearly two hundred feet below the adjacent surface," and covered with " an infinite series of min aret-looking peaks, some jutting up two hun dred feet." The fossil remains here found_ indicate that this region was inhabited by gigantic animals, vastly superior in size to those of the age of the macedon and the mammoth; and differing in their specific character, not only from these and all living animals, " but also from all fossils obtained from contemporaneous geological forma tions." At the time these monsters lived in what were the tropical forests of this region, there were but a few islands where are now the continents of what we call "the Old World ;" while our Atlantic coast, up to the base of the Alleghenies, was submerged be neath the ocean. Prof. W. maintains that the fossils of this region demonstrate the fact of a specific cre ation and extraction of races; and "that the members of this creation are united by no lineage with periods that precede and follow them." DREADFUL OCCURRENCE-A Woman Burnt to Death.—The most painful and heart rend ing event we have ever been called upon to chronicle, occurred in this place on Sunday night last, at 81 o'clock, which resulted in the death of Mrs. Hannah Eisenbise, wife of Major Daniel Eisenbise, under the following circumstances: At the time specified she was sitting in her room alone, engaged in reading the bible by the light of a small fluid lamp, which was on a table close by, and while in this position the lamp was accident ally thrown from the table and fell on her lap. The top of the lamp not having been fastened securely, the fluid escaped and speedily ignited, and the next moment her entire person was enveloped in flames. She ran to a window fronting the street and gave the alarm, and a number of our citizens, in cluding her husband, who had been at a neighbor's, hurried to the scene, but notwith standing the most persevering attempts were made to speedily subdue the flames, they were unavailing, and the unfortunate wom an's entire person was burnt to a crisp. She lingered in the most excruciating agony un til 4/ o'clock the subsequent morning, when death relieved her of her sufferings. Major Eisenbise, in his endeavors to extin guish the flames, had his hands burnt so se verely that part of one of his fingers dropped off, and it is feared others will require ampu tation. Mr. Alexander_ Eisenbise also had his hands badly burnt.—Lewistown Demo crat, February 11th. lEIEPORT OF THE COUNTY AUDI TORE TO THE AUDITOR GENERAL, FOR THE AR 1857. A. B.
