BucdaKaß arrived in ibis place, in the cars, on \
Monday evening, on bis return borne trom the
Bedford Springs. As soon as tbc cars slopped, |
snd it was ascertained that tbc distinguished
gentleman was a passenger, n shout went up
for “old Beet" that made the welkin ring.—
During the few minutes the cars remained, he
ebook hands with a great number of persons,
who had assembled at the depot lo see him.
He was then escorted lo the parlor of the Man
sion House, where a number of the fair sex
were introduced to him ; and, will our readers
believe it, he kissed every lady in the house !
We wished, about that lime, that we occupied
his position, that we might enjoy the same
privileges. Great matter lo be a distinguished
mart—he can kiss all the girls ho fancies, ns
well as those lie don'l fancy. The Buclianau
Club waited on the distinguished stranger in a
body, and our citizens, of all parrties. fell it a
privilege to pay their respects to him. It was
a matter of regret with all that Mr. Bcoiianan
could not remain in town for a few hours. Ho
declined to remain, however, and proceeded in
the cars to Lancaster. Mr. B. is in the enjoy
ment of excellent Health, and appears ns young
and vigorous as ho did twenty years ago. He
is one of tbo greatest men of Ihoagc, and,
God in his infinite mercy spares his life, ho wi

On Saturday morning last, Mr. Joseph C
Thompson, Coioncr of the County, was callei
upon to hold an inquest on tho body of Jons
Bbnkstt, a native of England, who had com
mitted suicide in his cell, in the county prison,
by shooting himself in the forehead with a pis
tol. Tho testimony elicited before the Coro
ner’s Jury proved tho unfortunate man to hi
of insane mind, and in one oi his sudden tits
the rash act vas committed. A few days pre
vious, ho bad been committed to Prison for at
tempting tho life of one of our eiliecns. Dhn
jjstt followed tho occupation ofsohool teaching, |
and from tha number of creditable certificates
found in hia possession, proved him to bo well
qualified as a teacher. His remains were taken
charge of by tho Directors of the Poor, and

IDE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 1
‘ j This should bo a subject of deep and sincere 1
consideration.,*, In its results ato involved the .
perpetuityof tha Union—the eternal principles
of right and justice, oh which is erected the fair
fabric of our (republican government. ' Every
ohc who can claim the priceless boon of citizen*
ship in the United Stalks, has.an important in
terest at stake in its decision—an interest not
only dear to himself, but of momentous impor
tance to all coming generations. Hence the ne
cessity that every One • should seriously and
candidly lay this subject to heart, and, in view
of its importance, come to such conclusions and
adopt such a course as will secure to himself
the legitimate results of a well-constituted gov
ernment, and transrait.lhc same unimpaired to
future generations.
[n’lhis investigation, there are certain mat-
ters claiming our consideration, a few of which
wo will now glance at. The commanding tal
ents of James Buchanan, bis stem integrity
of character, his acknowledged statesmanship,
his veneration for the whole Union, instead of
gaining him friends in the Abolition ranks, only
make them hate him the more. They hale him
because of his spotless reputation, his exalted
worth .and his commanding abilities. Because
he possesses these traits of character, he is ma
lignantly and wantonly assailed. The Aboli*
tion kennel has been unbarred, and the blood
hounds of detraction have been let loose, with
a commission written in the blackest dye of
calumny, to prowl at large, and to feast upon
truth and justice.
Feeling their utter inability to gainsay the
position Mr. Buchanan occupies before the
people, they hare commenced slandering him
by forced and unnatural deductions, putting In
his mouth words never uttered, and sentiments
which he strongly repudiates. Among other
things fond this is the only charge they make
against him that is worthy of notice.) they say
that Mr. Buchanan once declared in a speech
that “ ten cents a day were wages enough for
a womng man.” Wo pronounce this charge
a deliberate falsehood; and to prove it such,
all we nsk is. that every gentleman shall take
up the speech in question, read it through, ex
amine it carefully ami critically, and if he can
find such an idea advanced, we will then admit
lie-loving Abolitionism Ims blundered on
the truth fur once. We ask the Abolition and
Know-Nothing calumniators, who have given
publ.city to this utterly groundless charge—an
accusation which THEY KNOW TO HK
FALSE—to publish the speech—give it to their
renders entire, without mutilation, without
garbling. If Mr. Buchanan, in a speech in
the Senate, said that “ ten .cents a day were
wages enough for a working man,” why don’t
his enemies publish the speech? No. this they
will not. dare not do ; it would be turning
Slate's evidence—becoming their own prosecu
tors. Failing to do this, what must be thought
of such men ? What reliance can be placed in
their assertions ? And yet these arc the men
who seek to elevate to tho PrrnitlnmYitl I'VTTP
and inexpcrknqq)
li'
at the sacrifice of Ihc
ion of every pcntkninu whoso dcslruc-
is necessary to the success ol lhc»r scheme.
The truth ib these Black Republicans seethe
growing popularity of Pennsylvania's favorite
Son ; they fear that republics arc nof ungrate
ful.ami that the services rendered jhe people of
the Union by Jamks Bdcua.van, will not be per-
tied to go unrequited, and that this people
have in store for so faithful and talented n ser
vant the highest honor in their gift. Hence
their vituperation and slander—their malignant
attacks and false accusations.
But, who is proposed to be elevated to tho
Presidency in opjiosition to Mr. Buchanan ?
Rcadcr.it is John C. Fheuokt, a native of L
.South Carolina, and recently a siiAYB owner,!
hut now a resident of New York, and an Abo* \
lilionial in sentiment, lie whose name was 1
\ stricken from the Uat of army officers, by order
I of a Court of Inquiry, because of malfeasance
lin ofllcc —he is the candidate of the Abolition
1 disuninnisis ! He is reputed to Iks rich—worth
' I some llficcn millions of dollars —ami this it was
} that attracted the attention of the corrupt men
ipport ol Boouasas and Bubckikuidob, und
issisl to drive hack to their caverns the one
urns of our country. His remarks wore listen
ed to in breathless silence, and the shout that
went up when he had concluded,almost brought
ho procured his nomination in a Convention jj )C j loußC
composed of delegates representing sixteen of
the thirty-one Stales of our Union. Ills most
derided friends will not dare to represent him
ns a man of talents—they will not dare assert
that he Knows anything about the intricate af
fairs of government; but they say. and this is
all they can say, “ he is in favor of free Kansas
and free niggers,” and this, they think, should
commend him to the support of Intelligent free
men. Well, Mr. lb citaka.v is In favor of free
Kansas, provided the people of that territory,
who arc more deeply Interested than any oth-
ers, so will it. Mr. Dociianak and the Demo
cratic party arc in favor of the citizens of Kan
sas regulating their own domestic afUirs as
they, in their sovereign capacity, deem proper.
But. the hlliputian Fkrmont and his Black
Republican friends would deny the - South a
voice in Kansas. They say to the South, "to
be-fiiiro, half of this country is yours —it is the
common inheritance of the people, north and
south, but yet we (the Abolitionists) will not
permit you of the South to even have a voice in
the settlement of its domestic affairs or in the
shaping of its constitution.” Such is the lan
guage of the Abolitionists, and they support
Fremont for the IVesidcncy on this issue, and
carry at the head of their forces the traitor flog
containing sixteen stars! They have no elec
toral ticket in a single Southern Stale—no can
didate in the held—and boldly proclaim that
they can elect their man by Northern votes
1 alone ! If they should, unfortunately for our
country, be successful, who can doubt but that
a dissolution of tho Union would follow 7 In*
deed, a Tcry largo portion of tho friends of ,
Fuemont arc working to accomplish this very ,
object, and openly proclaim a dcsiro for ft rup

confederacy ! Your Fours and Maobs, and
other hired orators, may deny this till dooms*
day, but they cannot hoodwink the people nor
I hide their sinister purposes from Iho public
gaze. They to dare profane tho words of old

TUB DB3IOCR.ITIO COUNTY MEETING.
The Democratic County Meeting, held at the
court-house, in this borough, on-Moilday even
ing. was calculated to bring to the memory the
memorable campaigns when the Democracy or
the Union had the illustrious Jackson for their
loader. It was, indeed, a glorious meeting—ft
meeting of the bone ami sinew of our county. —
The court-room was filled to its utmost capac-
ity. and scores were outside, unable to gain an
entrance. The enthusiasm and harmony which
pervaded the vast assemblage, was evidence of
the spirit that animated those present, and ft
proof of the patriotism of the masses. But, is
it to be wondered at that the people should feel
a deep interest in the result of the campaign
before ns 1 For the first time in the history of
our country wo see a parly supporting a man
for the Presidency, who, if elected, would not
be the President of the Ifruled States, but Pres
ident of sixteen of the thirty-one Stales—Pres-
ident of a Northern Republic ! His election
would, beyond all question or doubt, effect a
dissolution of the Union in less than six
months. The people feel that their proud
country is menaced, and hence their anxiety to
rescue it from the danger that threatens it.
Thu first speaker was our able young friend,
ion. Wm. 11. Mu.t.Kn, of Harrisburg, who de-
livered a most able, eloquent and forcible ad
dress. which was frequently and heartily ap
plauded. The merits of onr distinguished can

Our former townsman, Capt. Geo. Sander
son, of Lancaster, was next introduced, and
delivered one of the beat and strongest vindi
cations of thq Democratic feith that We have
heard during the present campaign. He con
trasted, in plalp and eloquent language, the rel
ative merits of James Buchanan and J. C.

the Union, to oppose, as one man, th» danger

A Uaud Hit.—Thajlon. W. 11. Wittie, of
Philadelphia, while at Norristown, a few days
since, refused to enter into apolitical debate
with tho Rev. Mr. Aaron, on the ground "that
his self-respect as a man and a Democrat pre
cluded him from engaging in a public discus
sion with a pro/eased minister of, the Gospel,
who was In the habit of desecrating' his pulpit
hy turning it into a political rostrum, and who
had polluted lus clerical robes by tho slime and
tilth of stagnant abuse, and who was a traitor

Constitution.”
It is a pity that every clerical brawler who
forsakes his legitimate calling on Sunday and
turps tho house of God into a den ot political
strife, could not receive the same withering re
buke.

tion to tho Presidency, is just now busily enga
ged in manufacturing ‘'public opinion” in his
favor. To oiled tins, it resorts to the rather
'sUilo/doTico of publishing the votes (true or
false) taken upon steamboats, railroad cars, at
public gatherings^’and at" merry meetings, amt
in every instance its favorite is mode to appear
ns much more popular with-the people than eith
er of his competitors. ' This Is dbuo hi ordef to
deceive its party friends, to keep Mr. FlLLponc
a while longer in the field, nnd induce the Know
Nothings to boHeyp that their candidate. “ still.
Uvea.” 1
Wo*have no very particular objection to-urge
against this mode of electing a Presidential Can
didate, hut wo would merely suggest to the
News tho propriety of its publishing, in .ft.con
spicuous place, the returns of the elections re
ocntlyheld in tho South and South-west. Those
returns will enable its readers to form a more
accurate opinion of public sentiment .and the
strength of parties than can ho gathered from
the votis taken in gatherings got up for tho ex
press purpose of strengthening a particular can
didate. In tho returns there is an air of irnlh
nnd oJJicialUy which cannot bo mistaken, and
which speaks in tones easilyundcratood by tho
weakest judgment. Tho votes taken in irre
sponsible assemblies and by tho way side are
often false nnd always deceptive.
Some time ago, it was proclaimed by Ins
friends that Mr. Fillmouk was the only national
candidate in the field, and that as such lie would
sweep the South and West like a tornado, com
pletely prostrating the Democratic party, which
(hey wore pleased to term a sectional parly. —
Since the giving out of this braggart boast,
elections have boon held in some o( the most
important States in that section of the confud.
oracy which (hoy so confidently and so arrogant
ly claimed, and what lias been the result? What
say Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama,
and N< rth Carolina? Why, they have rung the
death knell ol Know-Nolhingism, and proclaim
ed, trumpet-tungued, their adherence to the
principles and usages ol' the National Democra
tic party, and their confidence in its noble
standard-bearers, JAMES BUCHANAN and
JOHN C. BHECKINBIDGE. Mr. Fjlliioiljs
has soar, o the shadow of a party nnywhero, and
in a short time ho mid his friends must join tho
ranks of tho democracy or else tnko their place

ho would regret (ho election 0/ Mr. Fjie

nationality, and If he would avert from onr bo
loved country tho threatened'danger of disun
ion, and all the (lire calamities which would fol
low in Us train, let him and his friends show
(heir patriotism by-casting their voles and.influ

Uon which lias the ability and tho wiilinghesato
cope with and thwart tho machinations of (hq
enemies of tho Union; and wo call upon, all
lionoat innn, everywhere, to J«*hi oar ranks and

AnothkhFracas in Washington.— Messrs.
Foycltc M’Mullcn, of Vo.','ami Amos I*. Gran
ger, of N. Y., Viembers of the House, got into
a political dispute, on Monday morning, while
riding to tho capital in an omnibus, when Mr.

separated by the other passengers, thus.ending
the difilculty for the present.
CoNonnsstoNAL Economy. —Tito present
session of Congress, Bays the Jeffersonian, ha?
spent so much money for electioneering docu
ments for the Black Republican nominees, that
they have none for legitimate purposes. They
hare increased their own pay to the amount of
thousands of doilnrs—conuncnciug with the
present session, and making each member's
salary $OOOO for the term ! ! They pay Ree
der and Whitfield at the same rale, with mile
age; ami yet they refused to pass an Army ap
propriation.
They would feed themselves and starve the
Army, or compel the disbandonment of the
regulars, that our old foes may have free scope
to burn ami pillage our ton ns and dwellings nt
will ! ! And this is Black Republicanism !

ids* ’We will oppose d. C. Fremont not only
because he is the candidate of a sectional par.

Thera Ih a design here, on the pari of sonic, to
put up uu electoral ticket for Fremont, about
which no one speaks to mo, ns f Imve blinractcr
enough to keep at* a distance nil that class ol
persona who, 'dishbnornblo themselves, could ‘
approach n man with'a dishonorable proposi

I should consider such a step as injurious -un
der every aspect—mortifying to Fremont pirn
self frotn thn'rimall vote which the ticket would
receive—ami injurious to the public, by ag
gravating the sectional feeling whidh’ now or-,
rays each half of tlio Union against the other;
I was opposipg (ho bringing out of Fremont for
nearly half a year before those who •charge me
with promoting it knew of any such design.
There are eases in'whjoh public duty rises
above personal consideration, though there’ arts
a great many* pboplo who cannot conbclvb it
possible. f'lhus when I supported Jackson,
(with whom I had been on ill term's,) thirty
