B. Wolfe, of that Borough. It is an eloquent production, and reflects great credit on its gifted author. ITT The Address of Jacob B. Amwake, Esq., Chairman of the new County Committee, in reply to the Address of the County Committee, of which Col. William B. Foubnet is Chairman, will be found on our first page. We give it a place, so that our readers may have an opportunity of see- ing both sides of the question—satisfied that the Democracy of the county will judge intelligently and fairly in reference to the subject in dispute. In this we are much more liberal than the Lancasterian , which paper peremptorily refused to publish the able Address from the old County, Committee- evincing, 'by that act, a disposition to keep the truth from the people/ and virtually asking its Democratic readers to “go it blind ’ in favor of the new fangled notions it seeks to incorporate in the policy of the party. Whilst we are altogether in favor of showing I fair play, ! we are nevertheless inclined to the opin- 4931 88 428; 320 2726 j 2568 959, 2321 332 190 2309: 1316 1091' 1085 1668': 2186 1204, 745 3326 2229 3161- 3260 1082 7.2 1115 596 81 6 j 630 43261 3345 ion that the learned gentleman, first above mention* ed, has entirely failed in his attempt to refute the positions or arguments of the first Address. What his motives were in going beyond 1828, when Gen. | Jacilson carried the county of Lancaster by a hand.- j some majority, (which fapt he entirely, no doubt } accidentally, omitted in table of sta* I tistics,) we are at a lo.ss to divine, unless it be to | show that Mr. Buchanan happened to belong to | the opposition party in 1816, which nobody denies. | But he might have went two years farther back, | and found that this distinguished statesman wgs so 1 much of a Democrat at heart and a patriot in feel- Against Amend't 1878 2354 - 3552 *r 452 2971 1001 758 ing, that he marched as a private soldier in a vol | unteer company to the defence of Baltimore, in And by tracing his history down a lew . years farther he might have ascertained that JVIr I B. was an intimate friend of President Monhoe; . that he was the. warm and enthusiastic.supporter of General Jackson in 1824-'2B, and J 32 ; that he I was always a decided personal .and political friend !of that glorious old patriot; and that Gen. Jack* ■ son's friendship for, and confidence in, Mr. Buch ' anan. continued unabated from 1824 down to the ; day of his death. Mr. Amwake might also have tound out, if he had made the enquiry of Col- Fbazeh, or any other gentleman equally well booked up in the politics of the Nation, that during , the latter part of Gen. Jackson’s and all of Mr. Van Buren’s administrations, as well as that of Mr. Tyler, Mr. Buchanan was' the great leader and champion of the Democracy in the U. S. Sen ate ; and that his subsequent administration of the : State Department, under the lamented Mr. Polk, was able and brilliant—not to be surpassed in the whole history ol the government. But, perhaps, it did not suit the convenience'or disposition ot the gentleman to give these facts; or, it may be, he : was unacquainted with this small portion of un doubted history, which is inexcusable in a politician J who figures as the Chairman of a Co. Committee, j But, whilst we are on this subject, there is another 1 • piece ol statistical information in the Address, which 1 ! uv happen to know something about, as we were a , delegate to that body—we allude to the Guberna -1 torial Convention of 1848. The ballotings are given ; correctly; but the yriter neglects to inform the public-that the Lancaster county delegates went over in, a body to Mr. Loxgsterh on the /AtYdbal : lot, when on the second he lacked thirteen votes of ja nomination. All eyes in the Convention were j turoied to the Lancaster delegation—and had they, I after leaving Judge Champnets, went for Col. Big . leil, as they should have done, he would undoubt- I edly have been the nominee, as there were quite a nu rnber of delegates, to our certain knowledge, who : v/ere ready to drop Mr. Longstbeth and the other i -candidates, and go for Bigleb the moment they saw a chance for his nomination. After the six Lancaster delegates went over to Longstbeth, all I knew that the contest was virtually at an end—and j on the fourth ballot, five of the friends of Bigleb j voted for Judge Black, -swelling his vote to 30, and we voted for Longstbeth, making his vote 64. On the next and last ballot, the friends of Judge Eldiied went over en masse for Mr. Longstbeth, and, to gether with our colleague from Cumberland, swelled his vote to 83, thus giving him the nomination.— We cast our vote for Mr. Longstbeth, solely be ‘ caute we wished to place the county we represented ! in a proper and favorable position, should he be elected, and not because we did not then think, and still do, that it was a mistaken policy to nominate I him. We knew he would be nominated, when the ! Lancaster delegates went for him, and therefore we I made a virtue of necessity. Had they went for | either Bigleb or Black the result would doubtless ; have been different, and one or other of those gen j tlemen would have been the nominee of the party. In that event—with either Bigleb or Black for our standard bearer—William F. Johnston would not now be the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the I Nation perhaps might have been saved the infliction ! of a Whig administration. 338 1424 352 2146 1475 141,630 130,975 1,006 10,655 145,69 H 131,938 1,094 13,753- As this is another item of history which our friend, Mr. Amwakk, may have forgotten, although he was one of the principal actors at the time, we have thought proper to direct his attention to it. There are several other omissions in the Address, which might be supplied if we had the room— but (not having space at our command, we are obliged to reserve further comments, at- least, for the present. Whether the oTd County Convention or their Chairman will think it necessary to answer this diatribe of, Mr. A J s, we are not advised. If they see proper to do so, the bantling is “a gone coon, and no mistake.” A new edition of this work has just been pub. lished by the “Journeymen Printer's Union,” an association recently formed in Philadelphia, to whom we are indebted for a copy. The book is very handsomely gotten up—printed with good type and on excellent paper—Embellished with engravings—and containing 464 pages. The work is edited by Peter Walker, a member of the Union, and is furnished at the low price of $1,30. It has already run through two editions, (of 1000 and 2000 copies,) and the third and enlarged edition is now selftg off very rapidly. It is scarcely necessary to say that “ Robinson Crusoe” has a world-wide reputation. The young and the old—all classes and conditions, read it with avidity—and whether it be - considered a work of fiction or of facts, still it will be read as long as reading is fashionable in the world. “ Robinson Crusoe.” We recommend the work to the attention of our young friends especially, as one eminently deserving of their patronage. Public opinion. To show the Democracy of Lancaster county, what is thought elsewhere of, the state of things in this, quarter, we insert the following short mticle from the Harrisburg-On™*, calling the attention of its readers to the Address of our County Committee which is published in that paper of Wednesday last. The Address was .also published in the Ptnnsyha- .nfon of Friday week, with approbatory comments. The Unien says:— We publish in another column the very able address of the standing committee of Lancaster county, of which Wh. B. Fordhit, Esq, is chair man. This document, it appears to us, advances sound views, and should have the effect with the gallant Democracy of that county of staying dis sension, and uniting them in the bonds ot brother hood with the Democracy of the balance of the State. Why it is that these bitter dissensions should arise in such a county as Lancaster, where the De-. mocracy are in a hopeless minority, we cannot im agine : and that an effort should be made to take away the vote of that county, in the Gubernatorial convention, from a man who has now, and has had for years, more strength than any man, who is not a citizen of the county, for the purpose of paying a compliment', to a citizen of Lancaster, is wondrous strange. * , . . 10 , 0 It appears to us that the sad experience of 1848 ought to be a lesson to those who have been lead ers in that county. On that occasion compliment ary delegates were appointed, after a warm and ; nearly equal contest between the friends of Col. Bigler and Judge Champneys, and,*-we believe, not a vote was cast at the primary elections for Judge Longstreth: yet, the delegates never once votedfor Col. Bigler, but cast the vote of the co. for Judge Longstreth, lrom the moment that Judge Champ neys was abandoned. This may be Democratic policy in Lancaster, but we think it a policy too disastrous to be prac ! ticed, with any prospect of success, in future State > Conventions. The Pennsylvanian says : We comply with the request of several of our Democratic friends in Lancaster—friends of the olden time—with whom we have, during many a year, battled the opposing odds in that empire coun ty and lay before our readers the Address recently adopted by the regular Democratic Com mittee. There is an additional reason why this paper should appear in the Pennsylvanian, and that is, that our prompt condemnation of the h igh-handed and extraordinary proceeding which it exposes, was met by the indecent assaults of the paper con ducted by the man who proposed to treat the elec tion of IS3S as if it had never been held—an at tempt that nearly converted our peaceful common wealth into a scene of civil war. The propriety of our course on this subject is amply borne out by the calm jet conclusive argument of the Lan caster County Committee. If the practices that have made this argument necessary are to obtain general-sanction and respect, our whole party or ganization would be broken into fragments. The example set in Lancaster county is full of the elements of demoralization. It old usages are to be trampled under foot merely for personal pur poses, no Democrat need be surprised if our entire system of regular nominations is broken dow-n, upon the plausible plea that the people are the best judges of their own aflairs, and that bolters may appeal from the decision of a regular majority a la Benion—to the larger tribunal of popular opinion. There is no end to the calamities that will How from the non-observance of our party usages. Our County Conventions will then not only be collected for the purpose of misrepresenting public sentiment, but will be made a kind of in quisitorial tribunals, when the section temporarily in the majority will lord it over the minority, and retaliate acts of real or imaginary wrong. It is the duty of every Democrat to resist all attempts to interpolate our political discipline with expe dients, which will only bring disgrace and distrac tion upon the whole party. [rj- Since the 9 above was in type; we received tthe Bedford Gazette, of Saturday, which also con tains the Address of the Committee, accompanied with strong approbatory remarks. Fugitive Slave Bill. This bill, which, more than anything else done . by Congress, accomplished the difficult duty of reconciling the mass ol the Southern people to the admission of California as a free State, is being violently opposed by the abolitionists and factious politicians of the North, and the question of repeal is agitated at all their meetings and in all their papers north of Mason and Dixons line. In this way is the compromise to be disturbed by renewed agitation, even at the risk of lighting the flames of civil war and bringing about a dissolution of the Anil what is this law that is now sought to he . repealed, and thus open afresh the bleeding wounds of the country ! It involves substantially the same j question that presenied itself at the formation of ‘ the Union. At that eventful period of our history, the Southern States refused to enter the compact without an express constitutiopal provision requir- | ing the surrender of fugitives from labor on claims j of the party to whom service might be due. Ibis question was deliberately considered in the Federal Convention, and, after mature deliberation on the part of the delegates ..from the iree States, was agreed to—the patriots of those days preferring a sacrifice of their prejudices to their interests, and agreeing to accept a constitution containing such a°provision. The law of the last 'session, thdn, is nothing more nor less than a legislative enactment requiring a laithful adherence to the constitutional provision, on the part of the northern people. It is merely a guarantee to the South that the constitu tion shall he maintained in all its pristine vigor, and that the provisions of that sacred instrument shall no longer be 'evaded,' or disregarded by their northern brethren. And is there anything unreasonable in all this? Are our southern brethren asking anything more of us than a faithful discharge of our constitutional obligations? Whether the provision in the consti tution be right or wrong we are not now to enquire. We must deal with things as they exist. The con stitution is the paramount law of the land, and so long as that provision requiring the surrender of fugitive slaves is embodied in it, just so long aie we all bound, as good citizens, to aid in giving it effect. Whatever may be the opinion of the northern people with regard to Slavery—and no one depre cates its existence more than we do—there is no man, nor no body of men, who have any business to interfere with the rights of the southern people to a reclamation of their property—for the consti tution recognizes slaves as property and any other course, without an alteration of that instru ment, wilYbe attended with the utmost danger to our beloved Union. The southern people are peculiarly sensitive on this subject, anil they would look upon the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Bill as a practical rejection of the constitution, to be followed on their part by a withdrawal from the Union, if that were possible —and if not, by all the horrors of intestine war. This is no over drawn picture. The excitement at the North has produced a corresponding excite, ment at the South, and the Union is more in dan ger at this moment than it has been at any former period. It behooves the moderate, well-thinking, patriotic citizens of all parties to look this new danger in the lace, and by their influence and ex ample erect a barrier against the encroachments of' fanaticism, folly and wickedness, which are daily weakening the cords of love and fraternity that bind the thirty-one States of our glorious Union together. jp*\Ve are pleased to learn that a diploma was awarded to Dr. Fahnestock, for his valuable-Neutral Ink, by the New York National Institute.

And now that this year s contest is closed upon us and crowned the Democracy with triumph, the Democratic party of Lancaster county and throughout the State, will naturally prepare for the approaching Gubernatorial campaign.. On past occasions it has been merely sufficient to call the attention of the Democracy of this Commonwealth Jo the particular interest of the State, in which by our individual suffrages we ex ercise the rights of freemen in the direct choice of our deputies. But the present is an extraordinary oc casion, which forbids cold.deliberation, and involves interests which not only embrace the Democracy of Pennsylvania, but in efTect the great interests, nay the permanent safety of the party thoroughout the Union. Every man’s vote and every man’s activity is therefore indispensable. This is a trying crisis. The premature death of :he patriotic and lamented Shunk, called from time to eternity ir\ the acme of his glorious administra tion, almost unrivaled in the proud annals of the State, together with the siren sound of delusive anti false promises of the enemy, and the apostate lead ers ot the faction counterfeiting the principles of Democracy to work its overthrow, and, while they lay lulled in the lap of tranquility and reposing in the security of the past, vvhiggery stole into power; a circumstance they will turn to advantage anil wield it against us in the coming contest. And afflicting as our condition may be, yet if it univer sally arouse us from the slumber of two years past, and renew in us the spirit of former days, it will produce ah advantage of incalculable importance. Let the enemy but once more elect their Governor, and then the Democratic party and our liberties will be numbered only amongst the things that have been. & Here you behold the condition in which the Democratic party by a concurrence of singular events in '4B, is involved. You have, fellow Dem ocrats, before you can gain that proud position so unhappily lost in ’4B, to elect a Governor, and a Presi dent and Vice President of the United States; and it will be in electing the Executive Chief ol the Old Keystone, to lrustrate our choice ot the Chief Exe cutive of the United States, that all the efforts of foreign enemies and their domestic adherents will be directed. The approaching campaign will, therefore, afford an opportunity to the Democracy to show their faith by their works, never before presented, and preparations are necessary whether Republicanism stand or fall. In electing.a Governor for this State, we will have great and powerful opposition to contend with from the enemy—a sterner resistance, if possible, than ever belore met with—one of desperation.— No money lavished, no active combinations, no ardent zeal, no systematic secrecy in political move ments, qo daring frauds attempted (as has lately been practised, in the Philadelphia election,) will be spared to defeat us—for the-election of President is as intimately connectethm its consequences with that of the Governor ot/Pennsylvania, as the soul is with the body. The enemy knqw as well as we do, that they stand no chauce of success, if we are true to our selves. They know that the majority is not only against them upon principle, but even with all the advantages of power now possessed by them, to gether with their subterfuges ol imposition or de lttsion, and lo heies and lo there's on the weak and ignorant, they can not expect to elect their Gover nor. Especially, since the fruits of their glorious reign has manifested itself so clearly in the Protean shapes of Galphinism, Wilmot-Provisoism, Protec tionism, DisuiTionism, ;Abolitionism, and all that kind of Mule animalism, generated by the kindred amalgamation of Federalism with the Assisms- of the present times. It is all times jSleasant to per ceive the proofs of party sentiment, supersede the ungrateful misunderstandings between members professing the same political creed, and devoted to the democratic principles of our Government, that discriminations at all limes invidious have ceased, as is manifested by the late election of our State; and that the principles ol Democracy which have been assailed and trampled upon by Whiggery and Federalism under their various names, once more rallies under the standard, of Republicanism, the sound and significant name of Democracy—a title which has become sacred, because it discriminates to the general sense of the people, tha friends of Equal Rights, from those who would enrich the few at the expense of the many, by robbing Labor of its just reward through the instrumentality of Bank Monopolies and chartered privileges of various devices and kinds; and forever rivet the fetters of slavery upon the poor laboring man and mechanic. The warning of ’4B, (and with well founded ap prehensions of further disruption, disorganization and T the final annihilation of the party,) has already united men who were separated by considerations more trivial, and extinguished in a great measure the little angry passions which alone could have affected the force of the Democracy ot Pennsylva nia • and, rallying under their true colors on the Bth inst., achieved a glorious victory over the united Isms of the times/ Therefore, as an ardent lover of Republicanism, and as an humble advocate of the principles of Democracy, and one who has the welfare of the party at heart, I would humbly say to my Demo cratic brethern in Lancaster County, imitate the late noble act of the Democracy of the State, — cease from your strife and banish the petty envy and heart burnings excited by mercenary individuals, and those jealousies which spring up in the contest of opinion, or the difference of judgmeut on the choice of this man or that man lor office in prefer ence to some other ; every man holds the inherent right of opinion; and no man should be subjected to enmity for exercising that right fairly—it is only when that enmity carries him into the ranks of the enemy, or renders him depraved or hostile to his principles that it becomes pernicious—even passion, to which every man is prone, should pal liate when it is not carried to excess, and when.it ceases to be pernicious, should never be wantonly recalled from oblivion. Therefore, extend the olive branch, and bury all strife and animosity, and re turn to each other with firm, inviolable, and mutual peace, and true and sincere friendship, and unite on Col. William Bigler of Clearfield County as a candidate for Governor, as the signs of the times evidently point to him as the standard-bearer to lead the Democracy on to certain victory in the canvass ol M,—for it is a foregone fact, that the State nearly to a county has declared in favor of this verw deserving man. The Democracy, brave under misfortune,—c4lm in conquest,-drowsy while at rest—remindful of the past and generously dis posed will in due season nobly reward her rival worthies named in connection with this very im portant office,—who in times past have by their bright genius, untiring zeal, powerful abilities and honest integrity rendered great service to th.e State. Remember, fellow Democrats, the defeat in ’4B, is but a gentle beginning of what the party must expect, unless it guards its union with nicer care and stricter honor. United it is gigantic in its march, with certain victory crowning its action; separated, it presents a broken front of individual nothings;’ subject to the sport of the unhallowed foe. It is only by acting in union that the usurpa tions of the enemy can be repulsed and his aggres sions counteracted. Then, brethren, let us lift aloft the dag of Democracy, (which in the eye of every democrat is so beautiful, and to contemplate its rise and origin inspires a sensation of sublime delight.) and place William Bigler in nomination for Gov ernor.—a true and tried Democrat of unblemished public and private character, beloved and esteemed by all who know him for his exemplary and vir tuous life,—a man who is eminently qualified by experience, age and ability,—a man who has ever opposed the machinations of Federalism, and its heresies, and unerringly advocating the rights of the people as his past official acts clearly demon atrate,—a man, who by a life ol honest industry and integrity has arisen from the cottage into the light of fame, —a man that has,suffered that stern martyrdom of poverty which is ever the lot ol the poor man, from his birth to his death—the martyr dom of poverty, that has no couch for its tired head, but ip the grave—a martyrdom of toil that is without hope in this world—and a man in whom the laboring man and mechanic have a brother, and who has felt their anguish and can justly ap preciate their condition. Bigler! that noblest of names, let us write upon our banner, and embalm it in ouf hearts, and fight under its standard, and it will bear our time-colored Flag m the approaching campaign forward to certain -d^nlljanUriumph.
