As tho panther invaria bly destroys all the young cubs which come in her path, so docs the bear lake great pains to attack 'the panther, and fortunate, indeed, is the animal who escapes the deadly embrace of this black monster. The following exciting and interesting scene if related by an eyc-wit ncss: • A large doer was running at full speed, close ly pursued by a panther. The chose hod al ready been a long one. for, ns they came near er. I could perceive both (heir long parched tongues hanging out of their mouths and their bounding, though powerful, was no longer-elas tic as usual. .The- deer having discovered in the distance a large,- black hear, playing with her cubsstopped a moment to snifi the air: tlwn coming nearer he mode a bound', with his head extended, to ascertain if bruin kept , his position. As tho panther was closing with hint, the doer wheeled sharp around, and turn ing hack almost upon his own trail, passed within thirty yards of his pursurcr, who, not being oble.nl once to slop his career, gave an angry growl and followed iheMecr again, but at a distance of some hundred, yards':'hearing the growl, the bear drew her body half out of the bushes, remaining quietly on the look-out. Soon the de»r again appeared: but his speed was'iiiuch reducid—and as.he approached to wards the spot where the bear lay concealed, it was evident the animal jvas calculating the distance with admirable precision*. Tho panther, now expecting easily to seize his prey, followed about thirty yards behind, his eyes so intently fixcd.on the deer that he did not see Bruin at all. Not so the hoar. She was aware of the close* vicinity of her ene my. and she cleared the briars and squared her self for action, whon the deer, with a beautiful and powerful spring, passed clean .over the bear's head and disappeared. At the-moment he took the hop tho panther was close upon him, and was just balancing himself for o spring, when he perceived to his astonishment, that he was how faced by a formidable adver sary. Not the least disposed to fly, be crouch ed.lashing his flanks with his long tail, while toe bear about five yards from.him. remained like h statue, looking at the panther with her fierce, glaring eyes. The minute they remained thus, the pan ther’s sides heaving with exertion, agitated, and apparently undecided, tho boar perfectly calm and motionlonicss. Gradually’ the panther crawled backwards till at right distance for a’ spring, when, throwing all his weight upon his hind parts, to increase his power, he darted upon the boar like-lightning, and forced his claws into her back. . The bear, .with irrcsiiala- Me force, seized the panther with her two fore paws, pressed it with the weight of her body, and rolling.over it. I heard a heavy grunt,.a plaintive howl, a crashing of bones, and the panther was dead. Tho cub of the bear camo to ascertain what was going on, and aficr a few minutes examination of the vie tim. it strutted down the slope of the hill, fol lowed by Us mother, who was apparently un hurt. I did: fiot attcmpt to'prcvcnt their rc frtot; for among peal hunters in. the wild there is a feeling which restrains them from attacking an animal which has just aridetgone a deadly Strife. ’ • ... - ;• I’Crsoxal BcAcrr.—Just about the last inhe ritance which a parent should wish a child— whether, mole or female:—is )>crsonal lieauly.— It Is about tho poorest kind of capital .to start In the. world wbh.

Russell's residence is at Harrisonville, Cass Co.. Mo.: but I am informed that he is at present in BnUimo*e On a visit. Col. Russell is a man who trill say what he has said ; and ho has said to mo that Col. Fro* mont was a Catholic when ho was in Califor nia. I spent an evening with Col, R. at Brown’s Hotel two or three weeks ago, and knowing that he had been much with Col. F. in California, ond on very intimate terms with hitn, I asked him if be knew anything of Col. Fremont’s religious views at that time? 110 replied that ho did: that ho was with him a groat deal, and in fact might say that he had slept under the some blanket with him for eight months. I (hen asked him what Col. F. was? He replied a Catholic. I asked him if* he was sure of this? “Perfectly,” ho said ; and then added, “Col. Fremont won't deny that he teas a Catholic; every body there so un derslvod it, and he made ho secret of if.” ! Further conversation occurred between us on the subject, but this is the sum and substance of It. I osked him if I might refer to this con versation and uso his name? lie replied. “Certainly J you ore at liberty to do no.” But ho again Said ; “COL. FBEMONT WILL NOT DENY THAT UE WAB A CATHOLIC.” Col. Russell, you tuny not bo avrarv, was Col. Fremont's principal witness on his tria before tho Court Martial. Should Col. Frt-i mont deny over his ow« signature that ho was a Catholio when In Colifomla. t presumo Col. Russell will then speak for himself. j Col.

Josinh Fnndnll’s Speed] Bcforc thc Dcra • ocratlc State Convention held at Chadben-' Inrg, Angnst 6,1856, In obedience, to the request of the Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania, I claim the Attention of my fellow citizens for a short lime. T ntii awftro that I have received this courtesy because I have heretofore been a member of the old lino Whig parly. . • • In 1824-5, the Democratic nnd.Whig parlies were separated by no question of principle, but were divided Upon the question* whether Gen. Jackson was entitled to bo elected President of the United States.; In the progress uf time du ring the thirty ycars/of. the, existence Of the Whig party, several, important principles were presented,*ond the two- parties became distinct, and independent of each other upon questions of public policy. .These were; . 1. The renewal of thccliartcr of the Bank of thcUniled States.. ‘ ' 2. The Sub'Trcasnry* -3, The distribution of (he proceeds of the public lands. .; • 4. TheTnriff. • A “National Bank” wag abandoned by-.the Democratic party, under the veto of Gen. Jack son in 1832, and |iy thc'Whig party in 1844.. “ The Sub-Treasury,” the cardinal measure of Mr. Van Biircn. was opposed by the Whig parly, has; fought itself into public favor, and no one now wishes to disturb it. • • “The distribution of the proceeds of the pub lic lands 1 * has been superseded by the debt cre ated by the Mexican war. “TheToriß" no longer remains either ft po litical or geographical question: the last Con gress exhibited the spectacle, of the “Slate Rights” men of the South and the Republican <A boliltonists of the North, united against Penn sylvania, without distinction of party, to reduce toe tariff below its present standard. ' If there remains any practical disputable principle, which constituted an issue between the Democratic and the old Whig parties, I do not know it, .. .. The Whig party lias performed its duty .and has had its day. It has been prostrated by the organization of the American party, or the Know-Nothing order. They and not the old line Whigs hare been the They hare renounced their old cognomen, laid aside their old principles, and substituted in their place a new natne.aud a new creed never here tofore recognized.by Clay, Webster, Sergeant, and their noble compeers. I know there are many intelligent and patri otic men who cherish the hopc that the Whig party can again bo resuscitated, but the hope la delusive, and it is pernicious because it de> prives tlie country of a largo portion of intolr feet and worth, which ought to be brought in to public service. In the history of our Repub lic, no party broken down has ever yet been re organized. The fate.of the Federal and Anti- M&sonio parties establish this foot. There is not at this lime a Whig member of the popular branch of Congress elected by a Whig vole.— I There is not a member of the. Legislature of Pennsylvania elected by & Whig vote. There is not a member of the Councils of the City of Philadelphia elected by a Whig vote. For the last two years, with but two exceptions.wherc cvcr the scattered members of the Whig party 5 have met in council, they have felt tbcir.posi ' tion,’ and have; therefore* wisely abstained from forming a ticket to bo voted for at the polls.— 1 In New Hampshire and Massachusetts they rallied at the”polls, and the result was paucity of numbcr?i and total defeat.. But, Tank, ybat good would be derived from the re-organization and triumph of the old Whig party? They do not want ft National Bank. They do not de sire a repeal .of-the SabrTreasury. The most ardent friends of the Tariff do not ask for the re-establishment of the High Tarifl of 1828. or. even of 1842 *, bat all they ask la. that the Tar iff shall stand where it was placed in 1840 by 1 the casting vote of the Tice President, Mr. Dal -1 las. All tne old issues have been settled, and * as a natural consequence, new parties have J sprung up, and new issues have been formed. The onlcr of the Know-Nothings have violated the letter and spirit of the VI Article of the ? Constitution of the Unitod Slates, which de i clarca that '* No religious test shall ever he re • quired as a qualification to any office of public 1 trust under the United States they have os i lablished secret societies, secret oaths and ob ligations. With these principles the Whig par ty In its days of power and numerical strength, luid no sympathy nor affiliation, and there is no part of the Union where thb Whigs were more inflexible in opposing' these political heresies than in the State of Pennsylvania. 1 In 1845, when' the Wing party.roct in the city of Philadelphia, nflcr (ho defeat of Mr. Clay, the duty of opening the meeting and sot ting forth' their principle? was committed to me. I held in my hand at (he meeting, the charter of Rhode Wand, granted to Roger Wil liams, which - contains tho broadest and most comprehensive declaration of religious liberty and equality ever yet penned. I read ita elo quent and energetic platform and said, •'this is Ike doctrine'of the Whig Party,'* and pointing ' to tho ruins of the Roman Calholiq Church of St. Augustine, burnt during thcdisgraccful ri ols of 1844, and which lay within a few yards of tho place of meeting, I added, "then is its desecration .” There is not a nook orcomcr m this vast region of country which docs not con tain old lino Whigs who arc willing to stand by the Constitution and tho Union. But their ; numerical strength is far exceeded by their pa triotism, talents, and public spirit. This is tho body to which I hare been attached, and 1 fed tho deepest Interest in the course they shall pursue. , . , ' . . Tho Republican parly is sectional, and its success must. In my judgement, lead to a sev erance of (ho Union. Ido not believe that tho great mats of that party anticipate this result: Cut If it should bo consummated, their regret will be no equivalent for the damning ipjury thereby indicted npon this great Republic, I appeal to every old line Whig in (bo Union to avert thin calamity. Tho South cannot and will not remain in the Union, unless their rights are guaranteed to them. If we were in the same situation, we would demand our rights in tones as imperative and mandator}* as those which are now,used by our Southern brethren, llovr ia this great evil to be avoided? I answer, | by tho election of James Buchanan. Every vote given him is a check to the'progress of tho Republican party., I know there are many: Whigs who approve of the administration of Millard Fillmore, and are willing to trust him again. Every vote given to Mr. Fillmore in creases tho danger of tho success of Mr. Fre mont. Every vole given to Mr.,Buchanan po tentially seals the fate of Mr, Fremont. But Millard Fillmore In 1848. ’6O. and ’52. is not the Millard Fillmore of 1850. When he was elected Vico President in 1848—when lie- -be came the Acting President In *lBso—and when ta was a candidate for re-nominallon by the Whig Convention in Baltimore, in 1852. he professed to be a Whig—nblhing wore, noth ing less.

In a correspondence between - the order of - United Americans of tbo State of New York and him, under the date of July 25,1850, they sayr— ; v “Both from your past official acts,- and from the assurances and.vicws expressed by you on many occasions, ns having . similar sentiments ’ in reference to these suhjccts„as those held by Ihe Amcricans.and to them of such seeming importance, (ho successful establishment of these principles, ris the fundamental 1 rules of our government, they beliere essential for its tranquility,'and n continued progress in thq development of all its greatness;’-’ ■ . v , - Mr. Fillmore, in his answer, dated 29th of July, acquiesces in this, statement,' and re plies— , “My position before the country is. well known, admitting neither of disguise nor equi vocation, I am. the candidate of the American pa s;' Fillmore here- proclaims himself the A merienn candidate,-and adopts the creed, oaths and obligations of .that parlyWithout'.“dis guise or equivocation.”.

Arc the old line Whigs prepared to endorse Mr Fillmore, thus presented for their suffrages by himself? I know no difference between an in dividual joining the order and. giving his vote to sustain Its candidates, except that the latter course is more effective in carrying out the ten ets of this party. . ■; The friends of Mr. Fillmore have assailed Mr. ■ Buchonan for his Ostend communication with out admitting or denying the soundness of the doctrine therein contained. I would remark that the’correspondence of Mr.'Evereft, as So crctary of Slate under Mr;. Fillmore, after tho death of Mr. Webster, relative toOuba, iamoro oflenSive. and ought to be more obnoxious to the criticism of conservative men than the Oa tend Letter; and it should be remembered that the diplomatic manifesto of Mr. Everett was issued under the immediate supervision of Mr. Fillmore and his Cabinet.- Sir. Everett is probably the best educated statesman now living; he is an erudite scholar and a sound patriot. .When in Congress, he look higher ground in favor of the South On the subject of slavery, than any Northern Statesman has ever done before, or has overdone since. One thing is certain,' any opinion upon International Law promulgated by him, is en titled to respect. Mr. Buchanan has been la public life upwards of forty years; ho has filled the highest offices which hmown State could confer upon him. Ho has occupied ,the highest scat in .the Cabinet during a most evefllful epoch ; and he has twice represented his coun try at the courts uf the first two Nations in Europe. His private character stands without blot or blemlsh.and beyond rebukeor reproach; and it is a high culogium upon his public life, that the Letter" is the only act which is designated by his opponents as the ground of attack. There are manv Old tine Whigs who are at-, (ached to their cognomen, and dislike changing it—this is an oyer scrupulous nicety. They must change their name—they must recognize the title of an American..Know-Nothing, Re publican or Democrat. If they refuse to select either of these names, they must retire froth all participation in public affairs. Gov. Seward U reported to have said during-the present ses sion of Congress, in caucus, that he eared noth ing for names, but tliat he looked to principles alone. Theremark showed that he had a clear head and a sound judgment, and was worthy of a better cause. V. Time will not permit me to discuss at length, the question of the Territories, I hold that .the Territory ceded us»hy Mexico was purchaa cd by common treasure. The fifteen Slave States contributed their portion of the fund as did the then 15,JPVee Srafcs. Tcrritorr should stand on the same foollrtg as. admitted States, and the right of the people' to hold slaves or not, os they please, in the Territory ought'to be commensurate with the rights of the people as they exist in the Uurty-ond States! The will ‘ of the majority prevails, in-thc casclaat enu merated, and U:c same' orthodox principle , should prevail in the newly acquired Territory. I What is the doctririe of the Witmot proviso? , 1 U is the sixteen free States declaring to the flf* * i teen slave Stales—you are part owners of this Territory; you have shed your blood and ex pended your treasure in acquiring it. but you’ shall have no share in its enjoyments or pro tits. Strip it of its trappings and U nmounts to this:; there arc thirty-one stockholders in a corpora tion, and sixteen say to fifteen, it is true yott arc part owners and have contributed lo _tbo purchase of . our common property, bub, you sliatl have no share in the enjoyment of Us pri vileges or the receipts of its profits. Such a’ doctrine is eubvcrsivc of every principle of jus* tico and equality, and never can bo sustained*' I am not (ho, advocate of opinions that are new to the Whig’party of Pennsylvania. ' At a’ Whig meeting held in September. 1850. at (bo Chinese Museum, in. Philadelphia. loitered a resolution congratulating (he Nation upon tba* restoration of peace and quietude-to the coun try by the passage of the ComprOrpiso Acts of (hat year. It was unanimously adopted, and ( then laid down the same principles which I am now endeavoring lo inculcate. In November, 1850, the great Union Reeling was held at the same place, and over, wlpcu John Sergeant presided. Among others, f again enforced the same principles. At a late* period. during the session of the Legislature iq this Slate in 1851, ja pure Whig meeting was colled to request (he repeal of the Act of Ihg Legislature of 1847, wliich closed, the public jails of this Commonwealth against the custo dy of Fugitive Slaves. At that meeting fiaml Drcck, second (o nu man in the country, iq (q« tclligcuce, and patriotism,.presided. I again promulgated the - Same doctrine, and they were again endorsed by the Whig party on that oc casion.. i ! These are some of the reasons why X invoka every Old Lino Whig in Pennsylvania to sup* port Mr. Buchanan. The triumph of the Dem ocratic party in Pennsylvania, in October next; would place his election boyOnd doubt. It would remove the lasi glimmering hope of iho opposition, restore peace and quietude to tba 9oup|ry. and, for one generation at least, put nt rest the present agitation on the question of slavery. The Old Line Whigs of Pennsylva nia possess the power to accomplish this grcab result; the responsibility rests upon them?and T have no doubt but that tlio draft which h| made upon their patriotism will bo promptly, accepted, and that the groat Keystone StatQ, will once more come to (he rescue, and do wf she has done heretofore, put down all kcctlonaV feeling, and qt the ballot box give a vote which, will strike terror lo the.enemies,of the Consti tution and (he glorious Upinn. which have bo long been the pride and admiration of cvcVy, friend of civil and religious firefly throughout the world.
