We have received a pamphlet copy of the
Oration delivered on the 4th of July last, in Colum
bia, before the Firemen of Columbia, Lancaster,
'York and Marietta, by Dr. N. 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-

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.-

} accidentally, omitted in table of sta*

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.

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.”

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.

Remarks of Hr. Buchanan
Jft Lcwistoum , P<l, on the occasion of opening the
Central Railroad ■ lo HoUidaytburg—October 18,
1850.
The President of the CompanyfCol. W. C,Pat
terson, concluded a short address by proposing the
following toast: 1 .
Pennsylvania—rich in everything but % know
ledge bf her own strength.
As soon as Col. Patterson concluded, and had
taken his seat, there was a call from all parts of
the house lor the Hon. Jimes Buchanan to speak
to the toast in honor to Pennsylvania. When lit;
rose he was greeted with loud and repeated cheers.
He acknowledged the compliment, and proceeded
to thank the President and Directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company for the invitation to
accompany the excursion. He considered it a high
honor to'be called upon to respond to a toast to
Pennsylvania.
We have heard in our State, as elsewhere, a great
deal about disputes and divisions on the subject of
platforms, but here is one that will unite us all.—
The event that we have met this day to celebrate,
brings to view a platform broad enough to hold all
the sons of Pennsylvania.
It is one upon which we can take our stand with
pride and feelings of fraternity, for it can be occu
pied to the advantage and prosperity of one com
mon patrimony, the glorious old Keystone State.
We are met to celebrate an event of great import
ance in her history—the opening of a railroad that
is to cross the mountains and in a few years bring
into her city the vast wealth of the Ohio and Miss
issippi valleys. While enterprise does honor to the
public spirit of the City of Philadelphia, it does
equal honor to Pittsburg, and will add greatly to
her prosperity. These two cities that in times past
stood from each other, estrayed, are how stretching
out their arms to each other across the mountains,
and will ere long, meet and embrace in the strong
bonds of a common and united interest. Not only
the trade of the West, but a large part of that of
the old world will be transported through Philadel
phia and Pennsylvania, and we will thus have our
full share of the commerce of the world. When
the railroad shall be completed, and when this
great commerce shall be in transit, we shall stand
as a State and a metropolis, second to none on the
face of the globe. [Great cheering.]
Here is matter for congratulation among Penn
sylvanians that will enable them to rise above all
other differences of opinion, and prompt them to
unite warmly in the support of the great work
whose rich first fruits they had that day seen. It
would tend to improve a system of free trade,
! which will, whatever differences of opinion may
exist about a foreign trade, meet the hearty con
currence of all. A system of free trade that will
bring to us the products of the far West in ex
change for our manufactures and mineral wealth,
and make Pennsylvania the highway of the trade
between the Atlantic and Pacific States. A system
of trade that would unite more strongly than ever
the people of the different sections ot the Union—a
system that noone would ever wish to see destroyed,,
in which the productions of all our Southern States
sustain and support our Northern ports,and through
which ihe South and Southern interests would be
benefited by Northern intercourse and commerce.
In remarking upon the progress of improvement
in this Slate, Mr. B. said that he remembered, when
a school boy, seeing a thousand pack horses engaged
in transporting iron and salt from eastern to west
! ern Pennsylvania. Now the west has both in the
greatest abundance, and the trade is turned the
other way.
| The'sentiment of the President's toast is incon
-1 trovertibly just. Pennsylvania is ignorant of her
i own strength. Our mountains are filled with coal
and our valleys with iron, and in the richness of
our soil we may despise the gold of Calitornia.
! In the pure air of our hills there is reared an ath
■ letic race of men fit to defy all danger in advanc
j ing tjae prosperity of Pennsylvania. We have a
State better fitted for agriculture than any other in
the Union, and a people worthy of the blessings
which an indulgent Heaven has bestowed upon
them. We have, too, the proud satisfaction to re
flect that in this State, since its foundation by Penn,
every man has been permitted to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of his own conscience. We
were a race of freemen before the Constitution was
1 acknowledged.
Mr. B. referred to the successful wars of our
country—particularly to that with Mexico—as
presenting a spectacle for the admiration ot the
world, such as had never before been witnessed. It
I had excited .astonishment and admiration through
\ out Europe. He happened to know the opinion of
several celebrated Generals, in this particular—and
knew that the spectacle of a people springing up
at once from the soil like those ot Cadmus, armed
men, had challenged their wonder and astonishment.
Mr. B. then proceeded to allude in complimentary
terms to General Riley, who was present as a guest.
He spoke of his brilliant achievements at Contreras,
and complimented, in high terms, Gen. Patterson,
who also sat near him. He spoke of them as types
of the two components ol our American Army.
The one was an officer tried to arms, who had
seen forty years battle and service, not a carpet
knight, but one who had fought bravely from ISIS
to the gates of Mexico. The other had left the av
ocations of civil life, had earned an enviable fame
; as a soldier, and after the honor of his country had
been vindicated,(returned to his tormer position.
The deeds done in Mexico had caused the stars
and stripes to be universally respected, and for an
American to exclaim anywhere “ I am an Ameri
can !” is now as great a patent of nobility as it was
for an old Roman to say ‘lama Roman/’ God
forbid that any one should disturb the Union.—
Should any wretch do so, the wrath of Heaven
would blast the ingrate.
Mr. B. then proceeded to speak of the blessings
and advantages of the Union. Heaven had united
us by bonds of affinity as well as by bonds of inter
est, and it would be impious for any man to put
these bonds asunder. [Loud cheering.]
Pennsylvania had ‘ever regarded the Union as
sacred, and in whatever light we might contem
plate our noble Republic, there was no true. Ame
rican who could possibly feel other than the since
rest devotion to the Federal Union. [Cheers.]
In regard to that Union, Pennsylvania stands
pre-eminent. Can we ever regard it too highly '!
Who will venture to say so 1
No American citizen can ever cease to esteem
that Union as the first of all blessings. Disunion 1
God forbid. Nations yet unborn would rue the
rashness of the deed.
Mr. B. then spoke further of the intelligence of
the people of Pennsylvania, of her possessing the
elements of progress, and of the tuture rank that
awaits her, if true to herself in sustaining enterpri
ses like the one before us.
After an eloquent appeal to those within the
sound of his voice, and those who might hear him
through means of the press, whose representations
were present, to respond liberally to the call that
would be made upon them for subscription to carry
the work successfully over the mountains, he con
cluded by proposing the following toast, which was
received with great applause:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company—They de
serve the gratitude of every true son of Pennsylva
nia for the public spirit, skill, energy, and capital
which they have thus far so judiciously employed
in uniting our great eastern and western cities by
one of the best railroads which has ever been con
structed. May the successful completion of the
great work soon crown their patriotic efforts.
The company was also addressed by Hon Wm.
M. Meredith, Solomon W. Roberts, Esq., Hon. Jos.
R, Ingersoll, Brig. Gen. B. Riley, Maj. Gen. Robert
Patterson, Morton McMichael, Esq., and Hon. W.
D. Kelly. ;
ICTSpeaking of the above address, the Washing
ton Union has the following remarks
“The address of Mr. Buchanan will be-read with
great interest in all sections ot the country. Its lib
eral and enlightened sentiments, its thorough famil
iarity with the various topics referred to, and, more
than all, its high-toned rebuke to the faction of dis
union, will command universal applause from all
the friends of our government.”
Mr. Buchanan at Lewlstowo.
During the evening of Thursday week, which
was passed at Lew’istow’n, -by the company who
attended the opening of the Central Railroad to
Hollidaysburg, the Band of Music proceeded to the
residence of Dr. Ard, where Mr. Buchanan was a
guest, and complimented the distinguished ex-Sec
retary of State with a delightful serenade. At the
conclusion he was loudly called for, and appeared
at the door, and was ultimately obliged to make a
speech to gratify the multitude that had called to
see him. His speech was a brief acknowledgment
of the compliment paid to him, a reference to the
great event that had assembled them together in its
bearing upon the prosperity of Pennsylvania, and
fraternity and union among the people of all the
States, and the commanding position they already
occupied among the nations of the earth. He was
cheered with great enthusiasm during the delivery
of this brief address, and was afterwards visited by
a large number of citizens, and many of the excur
sionists, anxious to pay their respects to the dis
tinguished statesman.
Supreme. Court.
, The amendment to the Constitution making the
Judiciary ejective, hating been adopted hy thapeo
it becomes the Democracy of the Statetocast 1
Ibout for suitable candidates to be pitted in pomi-
Dation for Judgea of the Supreme Court,' % ths
Reading Convention. Too much care cannot be
taken in this highly important matter—vastly im
portant from the fact that the Supreme Judges con
stitutc the tribunal of the last resort, and from whose
decision there is no appeal. They hold in their
hands, ns it were, tlie life, liberty and property of
every citizen in the Commonwealth, How vast,
therelore, the power and responsibility that are
vested in that Court, und with what anxious,solic
ilude should its high functions be guarded and pre
vented from falling into incompetent or unworthy
hands. No rnan should be selected for the exalted
station whose legul talents are not of the first order,
and whose character, moral and political, is not
above suspicion. Above all things w r e hope to see
men of the soundest, morality and integrity nomi =
, nated, whose example will have a h'ealthlul influ
ence upon the community, and whose conduct, both
( on and off the Bench, will have a salutary effect in
. restraining vice and promoting virtue.
There are plenty of good men in the Common
wealth from whom to make such selections as will
reflect credit upon themselves and upon the Demo
cratic party. The Democracy of the State are not
driven to the necessity of endorsing the political
character of besotted age and impaired intellect—
nor yet is it incumbent upon them to select candi
dates for the station, simply because they are com
paratively poor, although living off the public
bounty and enjoying a high salary for twenty years
and more. With such legal luminaries as Lewis,
and Ciiampneys, and Black, and Woodwahd, and
Bell, and Conynguam, and Thompson, and Strong,
and Hepburn, and Parsons, and Findlay, and
others that might be mentioned, the party can
make selections of Judges who will grace the Bench,
preserve the ermine of justice unsoiled, and whose
decisions will command the confidence and respect
o( the entire community.
In view, then, of these important nominations,
which must be made by the Democratic State Con
vention at its meeting in June next, we consider it
a duty the press owes to tile public to call attention
to the subject thus early, so that the people may
take action upon it. They have willed, by their
votes, a change in the Constitution, so far as the
Judiciary is concerned, and it now’ becomes them
to be careful that none but the most worthy and
deserving shall be elevated to the high position.
That the matter may be fully and fairly dis
cussed, we offer the use of our columns to well-tem
pered communications, setting forth the qualifica-
tions and claims of those whose names may be
presented to the Convention for nomination. In
this way the Democracy of Lancaster county can
express their preferences on the subject, and make
their wishes known to the Delegates who may be
selected to represent them in the ensuing State
Convention.
State Abolition Society.
The Pennsylvania State Abolition Society, held
its annual meeting in West Chester, week before
last—-Robert. Purvis, a mulatto , presiding, with
Messrs. Mott and Coates, white men, Vice Presi
dents ! The principal speakers were a Miss Grew
and a Mr. M'Kim, of Philadelphia, Messrs. Pills
bury, Bowditch and Quincy, ot Massachusetts,
Thomas Whitson, of Lancaster county, and the
Messrs. Hambleton, of Chester county.
Speaking of the orators, the West Chester Repub.
licafl says :—“ Never have we heard more disorgan
izing, revolutionary, treasonable, and insane lan- i
guage, than was put forth by some of these speak
ers, with the apparent approbation of a great por
tion ot the society. If the doctrines of these men
were carried out, the inevitable consequences would
be anarchy, violence and bloodshed ; and
would become of the unfortunate black'? He
would be forced to expatriate himself, or see his
people exterminated. It could not be otherwise.
And yet, these men profess to be the Iriends of
peace ! M
oJ*The Rcaminrr takes strong ground in favor
of adhering to the compromise measures of Con
gress—including the fugitive slave law—and in
■opposition to the incendiary doctrines advanced by
“ Alpha,” the correspondent of the Union. We are
gratified to see this course taken by Mr. Darlington.
It is an omen of good in the Whig party proper of
this county, a majority of whose members are
doubtless opposed to the fanaticism and wickedness
which would fan the embers of discord into a flame
and thereby produce anarchy and servile war.
07“ At Hartford, Ct., on the evening of the 19th
inst., the Mayor presided over one oi the largest
meetings ever held in that city. Resolves appro
ving of the compromise measures, and thanking
Messrs. Clay, Cass, Webster, Dickinson, and their
patriotic associates in Congress, and condemning
sectional excitement, were eloquently supported by
Messrs. Toucey, (Attorney Gen f l under Mr. Polk,)
Hamersly and others, and passed with unanimity.
Governor Toucey, after explaining that the fugi-
tive slave bill does not suspend the habeas corpus,
said he had but one life to live, and so long as that
was spared to him, he desired to live under the flag
that now floats over our Union. This eloquent
sentiment was received with tremendous cheering.

Dreadful Case of Poisoning tn Tennessee. —
On the 22d ultimo, thirty-five persons dined at the
camp of Samuel SafFell, Esq., at Middle Settlement
camp ground, ip Blunt-county, Tennessee. Shortly
after, all of them were taken violently sick, and
two others who had breakfasted and supped at the
camp were also attacked—in all, thirty-seven per
sons. It was soon discovered that arsenic had been
mixed with the food. Mr. Saffell, and his niece,
Mrs. Longbottom, dipd shortly after from the effects
of the poison.
No clue has yet been obtained likely to lead to
the discovery of the fiend who perpetrated the aw
ful deed. Mr. Saffell was a worthy and hospitable
gentleman, who had Jed perhaps thousands upon
the'encampment where some fiend in human shape
doubtless deposited the seeds of death in the dish,
which he had so freely provided for his friends and
the public, and of which he unconsciously partook
himself.
Speaker of the House. —As we have a large

men from whom a selection is to be made, we
know of none who would make a more faithful,
efficient, and accomplished presiding officer than

Col. Wm. Bigler, Iter Governor.
Mb. Editor As iiiy boyhood days and early
•manhood were spent in Lancaster county,—days in
which the Democracytmdisturbed by petty schisms /
. reigned triumphant, and cimenaanfully-nip to the
help;of the cause, like a noble troop of hardy vet
eraniin one .solid phalanx,—rit seems natural for
me td look hack to the place of .my early life; and
feel an interest in her welfare. Removed as lam
now from the place, and detached from any thing
like personal participation in the ranks of her
Democracy, I.address this token to them on the
ground of principle, and in remembrance of former
times and friendships. Democrats! within the
sphere of your own county, and in the yet larger
sphere of the State; it is a grateful object of con
templation to us, to perceive that the pressure of
external wrongs and injuries inflicted by the enemy
have been severely felt and indignantly resented,
as the closing election fully sets- forth. And that
the Old Keystone, convulsed into action by her
adversity, has nobly retrieved her misfortune, and
read to her enemies and seducers an iron lesson of
rebuke, and shown I>y her acts that although her
virtue and integrity may be eclipsed by a passing
cloud, still, she is true to herself. 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.
