Intelligent & |ournal. Lancaster, November 19,1800. GEO. SANDERSON, EDITOR. County Committee meeting. The Democratic County Committee of Lancaster, county, are requested to meet at the public house of W. J. Steele, in the city of Lancaster, on Wed nesday, the 20th of November, 1850, at 11 ©clock A.M. a , . , ' A general attendance is requested, as business ol importance will be laid before the Committee.

Hamersly, Esq., Editor of the Union 1 Tribune , to be Poßtmaster in this City, in place . of Mrs. Mary Dickson, removed! So, so—they have succeeded in ousting this esti mable old lady at last, and Mr. Hamerslt has the high honor of supplanting a woman! and that too at a time, as it so happened,'when she was prostrated by sickness and scarcely expected to recover.— What a pleasing reflection it will be to him after his first transports of joy shall have passed away! We believe she was the only Democratic P. M. re maining in Lancaster county at the decease of Geneigl Taylor, and it was to have been hoped • -that the proscription indulged in by the present administration would not be applied to her. But in this we, in common with almost this entire community—Whigs as well as Democrats—have been disappointed. The Stivers and Johnston | influence seems to be again in the ascendant at Washington, and the guillotine, recently sharpened anew for the work, is used with more violence and frequency than ever. Neither age, sex, nor condi tion is safe from its merciless and bloody work. No fault was ever found with Mrs. Dickson— no charge made against her—nothing could be al leged, except that she is the widow of a Democrat. She.received the appointment originally from Gen. Jackson, and was continued by Presidents Van Buber, Harrisor, Tyler, Polk and Taylor.— ' The. Post Office, under her administration, has been conducted to the entire satisfaction of every person who has had business in it, or with it. So well wai it attended to, that a large number of" the pro minent Whigs here interested themselves in having her continued j and, had Gen. Taylor lived, we believe it was understood that she would not be removed. Mr. Hamebslt has, however, got the office, and we think will make a competent and obliging offi cer—at least we hope so. We suppose he will hardly raise the same outcry against President Fillmore for removing Mis. Dickson, who held the.office twenty years, that he did against Presi dent Polk for'removing Mrs. Karch. in Lebanon, in whose family the Post Office there had been for more than fifty years! Circumstances alter cases very materially at times, and we apprehend the boot will now be placed on the other leg by our very modest and office-hating neighbor. Sectional Conventions The re assembling of the Nashville Convention gives a special and particular application to the following remarks, by Hon. Rob’t .1. Walker, in a speech at Natchez, in January, 1833, when S. Carolina-threatened to nullify, and had invited the Southern States to meet in Convention. Her sister States refused to unite with her in her treasonable project. Not one came to her support, and the nullification excitement passed off, after those who had fomented it had become alarmed at their own peril and were heartily rejoiced to get safely out of the business. But to Mr. Walker’s remarks: lam opposed to all sectional conventions. We have had one such convention, and whatever the secret motive of its members' may have been, the very fact that it was a sectional convention, that it was believed to be convened.to calculate the value of the Union, that it was supposed to have in view an eastern confederacy, has sealed the doom of its members and projectors. And when the calm shall follow the storm, a similar fate awaits all who will go into this Southern Convention. I trust there never will be another partial convention, Northern, Southern, Eastern, or Western ; for, whether assem ; bled at Hartford or Columbia, they are equally dangerous to the Union of the States. They create and inflame geographical parties. Could the North,, assembled in Convention, have that full knowledge of the situation and wants of the people oh the South as toMegislate for them, and propose ultima tums, to which the South must submit, or leave the Union? Could tbe South possess that full knowledge of the situation and wants and-interests of the people of all the other States, as to enable them to dictate the terms on which the Union should be governed or dissolved? No; it is only in a meeting of all the States, in Congress or Con vention, that that knowledge of the wants and in terests of all, and that that fusion of sentiment and opinion, and spirit of mutual concession can exist, in which the Constitution was framed, and all its powers should be exercised. > The of the Nathviile Convention me “' ber,i re.ide, whose duty it .hull be to procure proverTto be so complete u failure that no great *'*' " r and P er3 ° ns ° f trlde "> interest has been felt in the second gamerm* to- iru a,,d P r ° r * ' vho desire 10 becorae gether ol that'body.

The hour being late, the Society, on motion of Mr. Burrowes, adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That the existing Officers of the Soci ety are requested to hold over and are hereby elec ted the Officers until the first stated meeting in Jan uary, A. D. 1851* On motion of Mr. Abraham KauffmSm, the Soci ety then proceeded to elect six Delegates to the State Agricultural Convention. On motion, a committee of five were appointed to report said Delegates to the Society forelection. The committee consisted of Thos. H. Burrowes, Daniel Herr, Jacob M. Strickler. Jac. H. Hershey, Stephen J. Hamilton. While said committee retired to consult, D. W. Patterson, Esq., delivered an introductory address to the members and others present. After the address was concluded, the aforesaid committee reported the names of the following six gentlemen: Hon. A. L. Hayes, Jacob B. Garber, Abraham Kauffman, Christian H.

And on motion, the report was adopted, and the said gentlemen declared elected the Delegates from Lancaster County, to the Pennsylvania State Agri cultural Convention, to be held on the third Tues day of January, 1851, with full power to fill any vacancy that might occur in their number.

On motion of Mr. Kauffman, the President was authorized to appoint from the members of the So ciety, a committee of two in each township, where C7"We are credibly informed that at the delegate election in Bart township, out of some twenty-five or thirty persons present, the meeting was unani mously in favor of Mr. Buchanan. A majority were also in favor of Col. Bigler; but agreed that Col. Frazer, should have the complimentary vote, with the understanding that the delegates to the Reading Convention should then go for Col. Bigler. 07" The Presbyterian congregation of this City commenced worshipping in the basement of their new Church edifice, on last Sunday a week.

This body—representing but a very small por tion ol the Democracy of Lancaster county, if-we are to judge of the attendance at the tion*—met at the Court House in this city on Wednesday last, and appointed the following gen tlemen delegate* to the State Convention, viz: Jacob B. Amaake, Chat. M. 1 Johnson, Dr. Lemuel Winters, Thomas Deas^' Peter Martin, and Dr. John Beam. The delegates were instructed to support the nomination of Col. Rkah Frazer, of this city, for Governor, from first to last—and strong complimen tary resolutions were -passed in his favor, and alio in favor ol Gen. Cass, of Michigan, lor President It is proper to observe that the resolutions on the subject of the Presidency, were not the unanimous sentiment of the Convention. Although all the delegates were favorable to Col. Fhaef.ii for Gov ernor, several of them informed us that they were in favor of Mr. Bcchaxax for President and pre ferred him over all other candidates. They did not care, however, to create any difficulty, by opposing the resolutions —preferring to let them go for what they were worth. The proceedings, we understand—for we have not yet seen them—are of enormous length, and will probably occupy the greater part of a page in the Lancasterian. We are, therefore, under the ne cessity of postponing their publication in our pres ent issue, even had they been handed over to us, which ha, not been the case. The Convention was a very quiet creating neither excitement nor enthusiasm—in this respect differing very materially from all other County Conventions that we have witnessed in this city. Figures Wont life! For the purpose of showing how far the County . Convention of Wednesday last represented the pop- < ular will, we have been at some.-pains to ascertain what number of votes were polled at the Delegate Elections in the several wards, boroughs and town ships of the county—and have contrasted them with the number of Democratic votes polled at the Gubernatorial election of 1848. This embraces the strong holds of the opposition to Coi. Bigllr —and we have no doubt that the balance of the county will be a great deal less in proportion.— Making a very liberal allowance for the remaining townships, we are certain that the popular vote in the whole county, including the city, will nut ex ceed at most sic hundred votes —and this in a popu lation of SIX THOUSAND Democratic votes! Our list, although correct as far as it goes, is necessarily incomplete as yet—hut we hope by next week to have it in full. The paucity of votes will strike the minds of our readers with more force, when we tell them that the most extraordinary exertions were used to bring out a large vote. Printed hand bills were stuck up all over the the I most urgent personal appeals were mkd e to the j voters; but all would not do. The following ‘‘beg garly account of empty boxes” is the result, so far j as we have been able as yet to ascertain it. We I venture to predict that at the Delegate Elections 1 which are to be held in March next, an entirely different state of. things will take place, and that the Democracy will then turn out in their : strength : Del.

The Lancasterian , in reply to our article of last week under the above caption, says: « We (it) have denounced his (Cameron’s) acts, and shall continue to do so, whenever he was or 'shall be fairly before the party." Pray, neighbor, is not Gen. Cameron before the party now as a candidate for the U. S. Senate, and has he not occupied that position for the last six months and more ? We thought every body, was aware of this fact, and if it were necessary we could prove from the Lancasterian itself, it we would go back a few months, that such was the understand ing of the Editor even prior as. well as subsequent to the meeting of the Williamsport Convention.— Our neighbor may now be oblivious with regard to that well known fact, but He presumes too much upon the gullibility of his readers when he attempts to throw dust into their eyes. If Gen. Cameron be unscrupulous and dangerous politician the Lan’ casterian was anxious to make us believe but a few months ago, may we not ask what he has since done to transmute him into a first rate Democrat, as that paper would now have him to be? We merely ask for information. Attacks upon Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Holbrook, of the Lancasterian, finds fault with us for not publishing his tirade of abuse against Mr. Buchanan. ’Tis true that, a few days before our last publication, he brought to us a letter in reply to Col. Fobnet’s, which we had no hesitation in declining to publish in the Intelligencer. Its chief staple was calumny of Mr. Buchanan ; the same stale slang that Mr. Holbrook, in this very journal, made himself some reputation by indignantly de nouncing—so far as his own endorsement of the language of Col. Forney, the Editor of the paper then, could go. Now he repeats what he has often refuted—asserts as truth what he often declared to be falsehood—and holds up as a reason for his re creancy what he often stigmatised as worthy of contempt alone. This is a pitiable position for any man to occupy; and as we had no desire to place Mr. Holbrook in the’ pillory, we were disposed to be generous to him, and therefore declined to help him to make himself ridiculous. He has dbne so himself, by publishing his letter, over his own sig* nature, in the Lancasterian , and seems to glory in his own inconsistency. Industrial Exhibition.

Champnejs. .Jhe proceedings of the Convention, being too lengthy for publication this week—and as the Ad dress which prefaces the resolutions is said to hie the same in substance with the speefch.of Judge Cramp yxys upon taking the Chair of the Convention, (be ing' in the main a tirade of abuse against Mr. Bu chanan) —we think proper to re publish some ex tracts from the very able speech of that gentlemen, delivered in the Senate of Pennsylvania, in January 1843, in defence of Mr. B. against the attack of Mr. Gibors, ol Lehigh. We think it decidedly more instructive and appropriate at the present time than the Address of the Convention of which the Judge is said to he the author. We know of no act of Mr. Bucrarar since 1843, that is calcu lated to detract from the high character then given him by Judge Craxpreys, and we presume the latter gentleman will he pleased to again see his able and eloquent production in print. We there fore make the following extracts, and ask the atten tion of the Democracy everywhere throughout the State to them—only sorry that the crowded state of our columns prevents the publication of the entire speech. After some preliminary remarks, Mr. Chjlmphxys said: I feel that it is entirely unnecessary to vindicate the reputation oi Mr. Buchanan from the reckless assaults which have been made by one Senator alone upon this floor. The high character of our distinguished Statesman, places him so far beyond the reach of these petty attacks, that I know I am unnecessarily consuming the time of. the Senate in adverting to them; but, as they appear to be made on the eve of an election about, to be held, as an avowal of hostility, and as a demonstration of lur ther arrangements by which the will of the democ racy is to be palsied, it becomes my duty briefly to advert to them, and to define the position of the Senator who has made this attack. It is a singular and extraordinary fact connected with the history exalted reputation of Mr. Bu chanan, and evinces the sterling qualities of his mind, and the consistency of his political principles, that from the time ot his entry into public life, in ; the Legislature ot Pennsylvania, in ISI4, up to the I present period, his enemies have been unable to point i to a single vote which conflicts with the great principles of the Democratic party as avowed by Mr. Jefferson. In 1814, when a member of the Legislature, he supported both Democratic men and measures, and ably sustained the successful efforts that were made to provide all the necessary means of defence against the enemy. He exhibited, the sincerity and patriotism of his views by marching as a private to the defence of Baltimore. .When in the Legislature in 1815, he adopted the principles of Mr. Jefferson, in avowing his hostility to a Bank of tiie United States, as an institution which could not exist without giving a latitude-ol construction to the powers delegated by the constitution which would conflict with the in tegrity and permanency of Republican government. From the time of his election to Congress, in 1820, up to the present .period, he has, with a short intermission, been actively engaged in the public service; and upon all the great questions connected with the foreign and domestic policy of the govern ment, he has been found ably sustaining the integ rity of the Unipn; adhering firmly to a strict con struction of the constitution, and always maintain ing the honor of our flag against foreign aggression. The’lasting evidences of his abilities and public services, which will exist in the memory of his countrymen when the names of his detractors 'shall be forgotten; are to be found in the register of Con gressional debates, where it will be perceived, that he was always able and willing to assume the re sponsibility of exerting his commanding talents in sustaining the interests and honor of his native State and country. He was among the earliest friends of Andrew Jackson for the Presidency, and I have frequently heard him express his admiration of the great abilities and pure patriotism of this distin guished citizen. You will permit me here to add the passing tribute of my own feelings, to the ven erated patriot, whose long life of stern integrity and devotedness to his country, will render his name identified with the glory of our flag, and the most important events in our National history. When the friends of Mr. Adams, in Congress, in 1825, were about to violate the well known will of the i people, as expressed in favor of Andrew Jackson, 1 and had thus determined to elect him to the Presi dency, it was proposed, on motion of one of the I supporters of Mr. Adams, that the gallery should ! be cleared at the request of the delegation of any ! one State. This was done to enable Congress more | securely, in secret' conclave, to trample upon the i power of the popular sovereignty. Mr. Buchanan, in a masterly and eloquent appeal, supported the I rights of the people, to be present and witness the ; doings of their Representatives; so that it might : operate as a salutary check upon the acts of those j who seemed to be determined to accomplish their objects, independent of the popular will. j • • * • « • j The beneficial provisions of the act of Congress ; of 1828, relating to the naturalization of foreigners, • were introduced by Mr. Buchanan. This act re- I leased them from the oppressive exactions of pre • vious statutes, which required a registry to be made as evidence of the time of their arrival in, the United States, five years before their admission to the rights of citizenship. Mr. Buchanan elo quently advocated the just principle of making our country in reality, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, by affording an increased facility ofad mitting to citizenship, every alien who exhibits by his character and conduct, that he is attached to the principles of our government. I will not detain the Senate by attempting to advert to the various measures of legislation in which he has so actively participated. He has uniformly exhibited that commanding ability and stern integrity, which have so justly given him the confidence of Pennsylvania and the Union. I will merely remark, that he uniformly resisted i the attempted usurpations of power, upon the part lof the Bank of the United States, in its efforts to I overshadow and overawe the government. In the I case of M’Leod, all recollect his masterly and con clusive argument, in defiance of the threatening aspect of the English Government, in which he 1 sustained the rights of the States to the exercise oi judicial authority, as essential for their protection against crimes committed within their jurisdiction. His report on the North eastern boundary was admitted, when it was presented to the Senate, by the most distinguished Senators of all parties, to be a most able and conclusive vindication of the claim of our government to the disputed Territory. Eng land never yields any of her pretensions except upon compulsion, and she has now effected, by the cour tesies of our diplomacy, what she never could have obtained by the rule of right. There is one subject upon which the Senator from Lehigh has been particular in his inquiries ; and that is, as- to Mr. Buchanan’s views upon the subject of a tariff. He doubts whether Mr. B. was sincere in the rote for the bill which has passed, and seems to think that Pennsylvania requires those who represent her interests, to avow them selves as decidedly favorable to a high tariff for protection. I will barely remark, that there are few who can anticipate any success from the Uto pian project of raising duties, for the mere purposes of protection, unless they are essential to sustain the revenues of the government. The incidental protection thus fairly afforded to the manufactur ing and other interests of the country, is a beneficial result from the legitimate action of the Legislature, in accordance with the directions of the constitution. Mr. Buchanan upon this subject has been uni form and consistent, in avowing himself in favor of discriminating duties, for the purposes of reven ue ; and thus affording, from the necessities of the government, incidental protection to our home in terests. He remarked, in 1828, that he was favor able to such a tariff of duties, that will equally protect the rich and the poor; as will enable our manufacturers to enter into a fair competition with foreign manufacturers, but not for such a tariff as will secure to any once class, or to any section of the country a monopoly—a system of protection which will extend its blessings, as well as its bur dens, as equally as possible, over every part of the Union. * The eminent services and exalted reputation of Mr. B. are so thoroughly appreciated in Pennsyl vania,-that I owe an apology to the Senate for my brief and imperfect allusions to his political history, rendered necessary by the course of the Senator from Lehigh. In the language of the Democratic Review~“ he is distinguished for his commanding powers, and lor the valuable services they have yielded on a thousand fields of political struggles." The same writer remarks of Mr. B.'s exalted posi : tion in the Senate—“ that he has always held.and well maintained a place among the very front few to whom general consent always assigns the front rank as primut inter pares; fitly representing a State which occupies in the Confederacy so high a prominence in population and power as Penn’a.” Population or Lancaster City, 1860: North East Ward, North West do.

Dear Sir: —The enemies of Mr. Buchaeaf, in Lancaster county, hare induced M. D. Holbrook to sign the tissne of calumnies against that gentle man which hid been prepared for him: by Thokas H. Burrowes, the Secretary of the Commonwealth under Joseph Ritjcer. During my intercourse with Holbrook, while publishing the Intelligencer, I can safely arer that he proved, a hundred tim?s, his utter incapacity to construct three lines of con secutive English. Too lasy to work and too stupid to write, he a single quality that made him tolerable, and that was his utterly subservient na- ture. It is a joke, or something worse, to ask the people who know the man to believe him ckpable of the work he has allowed himself to endorse. I would as soon think of holding him responsible for the authorship of the infamous Proclamation by which Mr. Burrowes tried to cheat the Democrats out of their Governor a few short years ago. One of two reasons must have induced bis masters to get him to siga the calumnies concocted for him by that desperate demagogue. Either they desire to show how utterly they hold him in contempt, or, else, they wish to screen themselves from the res ponsibility of repeating the slanders heretofore only current in whig newspapers. There is another reason, however, why Mr. Hol- brook could not have approved,—l will not say written—the letter in the last Lancastrian. While I conducted the Intelligencer , and it is known that I did so for months after Mr. Buchakan went into the State Department, —Holbrook being then, as now, a sort of sixth wheel to the wagon—he appro ved andfendorsed all that I said against the foes of Mr. BucHANAif, even to a refutation of some of the very falsehoods he now wants the people to believe. But there is still another reason, why, willing as he may be to earn the bread of submission, he cannot give credit to these anti-masonic slanders, coined in the same mint from which have issued so many mis- representations against the wise and the good oi the Democratic party. He cannot do so without out raging the character of his favorite candidate for Governor, Col. Ream Frazer. The speeches that gentleman has made in favor of Mr. Buchafaf would fill as many books as Holbrook could carry. These speeches extend over some twenty years of time, and cover almost acres of newspapers. They assume every shape of oratory, didactic, pathetic, indignant and poetical. " Many a luckless wight that gave utterance to Mr. Holbrook’s falsehoods, (or rather those concocted for him) was made to feel the awful invective of that gentleman. No calumny was left unanswered —no falsehood unde tected —no enemy of James Buchanan unpunished. When we reflect that since the time all this trans~ pired, Mr. Buchanan has won higher tributes from hiscountrymen, and established himself more firmly in the popular regard, of course the praises of Col. Frazer, like hi 9 prophecies, will all have been made good. These praises have notbeen and can not be recalled. They are enrolled in the archives of the State. They belong to the literature of the country. They are too well remembered by thous ands ever to be cancelled. Col. Frazer is a gen tleman of too much good sense, I fancy, to come forward and unsay what he has said, during twenty long years. And surely when he is not bold enough to do so, Mr. Holbroolc cannot give Mr. Bur rowes’ old anti-masonie falsehoods to the world as a reason why Colonel Frazer did not speak the truth when he defended Mr. Buchanan. Hol brook may be capable of a good deal of effrontery. But there is a double baseness in this advertisement of his shame, and this repetition of falsehoods, from which one would suppose even he would shrink with something like a man’s indignation. What a spectacle it is, Democrats of Lancaster county ! Marcus D. Holbrook calls upon you to believe James Buchanan unworthy of confidence- What a contrast it is to see Holbrook, backed by that desperate politician, Burbowes —still the bosom friend of Thaddeus Stevens—am plifying the reeking calumnies of Middleton and Fenn calumnies with which Hamebsly and Darlington refuse to defile their columns.'— These are offered to you as inducements to get you to turn* your backs upon your old and well-tried fellow-citizen, James Buchanan. say you to this, Moore Connell, James Patterson, J. H. Houston, N. W. Sample, John McSfabren ; Geo. G. Brush, Jacob Grosh, Emanuel Schaeffer, Abm. Peters, John Bartrauff, Peter FeAes, Dr. Weidler, Samuel Holl, ’Squire Shreiner, Michael Seitz, James Laird, John Barr, Geo. Wolf 7 Are you ready to turn your backs upon a man who has been the pride of the State for so many years —urged by these most disgusting ap peals 7 Remember, you must obey the new master, Burrowes, or else you will be driven out from the party as unworthy of confidence. There is no dodging an issue now, finally presented for your adjudication and decision. Mr. Holirook, or rather Thomas H. Burrowes, presents a string of reasons to show why he is op posed to James Buchanan —a grave contingency, certainly, when we reflect upon the influence he may be supposed to exert among a people-who, at least, dare to think for themselves. Of these rea sons, those that are not based upon suspicion and surmise, are so cowardly and contemptible, as to show the whole emptiness of the clamor against Mr. Buchanan in the most ridiculous aspect. Let me allude to one of these reasons, based upon the ac cusation that Mr. Buchanan, while Secretary of State, “after giving the strongest possible opinion in favor of our claim to the whole of Oregon, ne gotiated away a large portion of the territory of the United States, and yielded up to England the right to navigate the Columbia river.” A wise man, is this our Holbrook : a shrewd political casuist is this, our Buckshot Burrowes. Why were you so long silent, Holbrook 7 Why not make this ac cusation while Mr. Polk lived, and while you had, as now, charge of the type, purchased for you by the covert slanderers of Mr. Buchanan 7 Why not call upon the stand the living President 7 Why await the time, when, dead and gone, you might outrage his memory, by slandering the character of his Chief Minister 7 I suppose that it was known, at least to Burrowes, that the final acquiescence in the ultimatum, of England on the Oregon Ques tion, was determined by Mr. Polk and his Cabinet, after the cause of England had been argued and carried in both branches of Congress, by the Whig party, headed by Mr. Benton, who is called in the last Lancasterian, “a leading man” in support of Mr. Polk's administration! I thought this was history. I thought it was of record. 1 thought the poor lies you repeat have been abandoned even by the whigs. But, probably, Mr. Holbrook knows more of the • matted than the record shows, or than history retains. But Mr. Buchanan is,"says our new light in political philosophy, “& selfish, cold-hearted poli tician, and a timid, expedient-huntiQg Statesman,” &c. Hear this, Democrats of Lancaster county. — At last the whispered calumny—the coarse slander, uttered amid oaths and obloquies, finds shape and substance, in the direct charge of Marcus D. Hol- . brook, the hose through which Burrowes squirts his filthy falsehoods upon one whom he has tried to defile while in the ranks of Ritner and Stevens. The selfishness of Mr. Buchanan has been exhi bited by withdrawing his name from the list of Dem ocratic candidates for President in 1844, in the high hope of being able to promote the success of the Democratic party; his “timidity” by boldly fighting the enemies of the Constitution and contending for the rights of the South, from the beginning of his public career; and his cold-heartedness by rallying around him a body ot warm and resolute friends who, disdaining to guage their devotioriby their hopes of office , saw and see in him the embodiment of a Statesman and a Democrat —before whose lofty intellect and unsullied history, such calumniators as Thomas H. Burrowes dwarf and dwindle into utter insignificance. One more reference to the list of reasons which Burrowes gives, through his trumpeter, Holbrook, why he is not for Mr. Buchanan. I copy the fol lowing in full to show the baseness and infamy of the combination against Mr. Buchanan, among the anti-masonic influences that seek to paralise the Democrats of Lancaster County: 3,069 4,226 2,269 2,528 “ Because he attempted to influence Congress to violate the Constitution, and disgrace us in the eyes of the civilized world, by the positive establishment, of slavery south of a particular degree of latitude, and for the first time in the history of Pennsylvania, has caused her to be quoted as authority by disun? ionists: his course being even more reprehensible then that of Wilmot, who can at least plead the desire to extend liberty in palliation of his proposed breach of the Constitution.” The apology of Wdlhot is appropriate in a news, paper that has never denounced him, ever since he tried to destroy ns in 1848, and that failed to do so in 1850 when he refused to vote for the regular Democratic candidates for officers of the National House of Representatives, doubtless because I hap* pened to be the choice of three-fifths of the Demo cratic caucus for Clerk of that body; and was finally beaten because I dared to stand by the colors of the National Democracy. The wilful falsehood in this paragraph is, that Mr. Bitch ah aw “ attempted to influence Congress to violate the Constitution, and disgrace us in the eyes of the civilized world, by the establishment of slavery south of a particular degree of latitude,” &c. Poor Holbrook hardly knows the difference between latitude and longi tude ; but the editor of his masters does know that when he wrote this he wrote a deliberate and intentional calumny. Mr. Buchanan took early ground in favor of the Missouri Compromise, and has maintained that ground as the best way to set- tie all our troubles on the slave question; but netjer, by word or deed, did he indicate that he was in favor ot the construction that has been given to it by Burrowes, Burleigh, the National Era , and other abolition authorities. They charged him with such intention, it is true, but he properly refused to notice the fabrications of men who have been his enemies for years. And what is the Mis souri Compromise t It is a measure that the cour ageous Douglass, of Illinois, and other eminent northern men, advocated, as the best means to set- tle the slavery dispute, until they finally agreed to the Senate Compromise. Col. Frazer and others used to be as violently for it as they are now bit terly against it. Mr. Buchanan has never given any other definition to the terms of that compro mise beyond that which is popularly understood to I be correct and constitutional. It is rather drawing upon your credulity, Democrats of Lancaster, to presume that you are willing to j put faith in the construction given to it by the man who counseled Joseph Ritner, at the time the Pennsylvania Hall, in this city, was burned down by the people, (on account of the amalgamation there between Whites and Blacks) to take sides with the abolitionists of the North. In those days when Burrowes was an Anti-ma son, and Holbrook had never been heard of, and I, with no influence save that which God has given to me as an ardent follower of our blessed creed — in those days when Democrats united in supporting James Buchanan and in despising Joseph Ritner and his conscience-keepers—when, with all the means I could muster, and all the energies. I could arouse, I stood hopefully at the head of the old Intelligencer —in those days when, as now, I regar ded it as a high privilege to give up all for the Democratic party—l never will forget how elo quently and earnestly we were all called upon to support our veteran leader. Then that man who opposed James Buchanan was regarded as not his foe alone , 6u/ as recreant to Pennsylvania. How bitterly did Col. Frazer anathematize all who did so, as unworthy of notice, and deserving only of contempt! How spontaneously we answered to his appeals, and how nobly the whole State stood by the man he held up before the whole Union. — Do Holbrook and Burrowes —or,rather, do those by whose instigation they act—do they think how entirely they now occupy the situation which Col. Frazer has made immortal as a position of recre ancy and of wrong? Holbrook, in his last paper takes occasion to deny that Mr. Buchanan occu pied a leading position in the U. S. Senate. But he forgets that here again he flies in the face of Col. Frazer’s declarations a thousand times repeated, and that is that James Buchanan was, while in the Senate, among the very first of the champions of the Democratic party in that great body ! A few evenings ago, in a Democratic meeting.in the glorious West Ward —a ward where I hud lived all my life, until I removed to this city,—k ward where, without a friend or a dollar, I started a poor printer, writing my own editorials, setting them in type, and then (C working them off” at the p re98 —j n that old ward, a few evenings ago, Thos. H. Burrowes led the forces ofthe opposition to Jab. Buchanan. Go back with me, a few years, Dem ocrats of Lancaster, and recall that cold December Sunday morning when the troops ofthe State mus-' tered in North Queen street, on their way to Har risburg, called there by this same Burrowes and Rit.ner, in the hope that they would enforce the horrible doctrine that the decree of the majority should be treated as if it had never been given.— Never will 1 forget the maledictions then heaped by , our Democracy upon the heads of these men and ' their compeers. Never can I forget the indignation of my former friend, Judge Champnets j for I hear my presumption in defending myself from assaults has lost me his good opinion. Tho man at the side of Ritner in those troublous times; his instiga tor, counsellor, companion, and friend, was the same Burrowes who led the forces against Mr. Buchanan a few evenings ago, in the West Ward. The contrast is peculiar and instructive. But I was present at Harrisburg when these troops arrived, and I saw there this leader of the toes of James Buchanan. Never will I forget the scene, I as he came into the House with ths false returns in his hands, the calm and imposing form of Francis R. Shunk in the Clerk’s seat—the latter cool and collected, the former pale and trembling. Where Burrowes walked scorn pointed its awful finger after him. When ‘he spoke curses hissed around him ; and when finally he came to the place where I stood, he looked like one who felt that he had achioved the extremity of political turpitude. And this is the man whose pen never tires-in denouncing James Buchanan. This is the man who supplies the falsehoods and the calumnies which Marcus D. Holbrook greedily endorses. This is the man who is to be received into the Democratic party with the baton of the leader; his transgressions forgiven ; his follies apologized for; his very crimes sought to be wiped out of the ineffacible tablet of public recollection. And while you do this, you are asked, on tht other hand, to receive him with all his calumnies of James Buchanan, and for these calumnies to drive out from your confidence Buchanan, while you receive into your Councils, Thomas H. Burrowes. The foes of Mr. Buchanan, lew as they are, understand each other. They think that by assail ing him at his own hearth and home they will des troy him throughout this broad Union. In 1848 they acted upon the same principle, though in a more covert manner, and the State went for the Whigs. Then they struck at Col. Bigler, because he was suspected of being a friend of Mr. Buch anan. Now they strike at all who will not worship Burrowes and calumniate Buchanan. They hope to make capital elsewhere by placing themselves on this bad eminence. They hope to elevate them selves by stabbing their own county-man and their own fellow-citizen. But those they seek thus to conciliate will turn from them with horror. No Democrat in any State can fail to do justice to Jas. Buchanan, and to hold in contempt that Pennsyl vanian who seeks to reach political power by over throwing a man whose character and whose services •have reflected so much honor upon thfr country. As ever your friend, JOHN W. FORNEY. Geo. Sanderson, Esq. Caernarvon Township. We make the following extracts of a letter from a gentleman in Churchtown to -another in this place, describing the late delegate election in Car narvon township. Churchtown, November 9,1850. U I attended myself with a number of other Dem ocrats—of course not to participate in the delegate election of to-day, but for the purpose of explaining the cause of the difficulty in our ranks. /This we did by reading the able Address of the regular County Committee of which Col. Fobdnxt is Chairman. After this expose, only six , out of at least forty Democrats who were present, were wil ling to recognize the call of the new Committee. These six persons left the bar room, and after «>ine time returned and stated that they had appointed three delegates to attend the County Convention, on Wednesday. From this you can judge of the strength ot the disorganizing-factionm Carnarvon township, a district that can poll about 150 Dem ocratic votes! , ~ -JW “ You may rest awared that th« call of the reg □lar Coanty Committee will be attended to township, on the Ist of Match next, and that we will send delegates favorable to Col. Biaiaa and ‘PINNSTETANIA’S FaVOBITI SON. YOU!*, &C. The Sew Heraldry. -*3 The Democrats of Lancaster county are now called upon by . the Lancasterian to adopt all the old slanders against Mr. Buchanan, so often and so eloquently contradicted by Messrs. CniacpirsTS and Frizes, and so properly attributed ter the worst of motives by those gentlemen. This is asking a great deal at the hands of Democrats who have known Mir. Buchanan for thirty years, and have known him intimately and well. But this is not all. At the same time that the Democrats of Lancaster are required to believe these thousand times established falsehoods against Mr. Buchanan, they are asked to let Ritner’s Secretary of the Commonwealth become their leader and their teacher unpolitical faith! The next step will be —indeed such is the inevitable consequence of the, course of the Lancasterian and its controllers—to demand that you should regard the “Buckshot War,” the Bank of the United States, the Masonic Inquisition, and the infamous Election Frauds un der the Ritner administration, in all of which the Editor of the Lancasterian took an active part, as among the strongest muniments of the Democratic title to the Nation's confidence! This is the new Heraldry, Democrats of Lancas ter county, offered for your endorsement by a paper professing to be Democratic, and yet'silent when an organization was assailed in Congress—silent in reference to the free soil recusants—silent against Cameron —and only malignant against Jas. Buch anan ! If you can accept the slanderer and the slanders, Democrats, you will next be asked to receive Stevens and Penrose 'into party commu nion, After crowning the author of the sentiment “ that a solemn election should be treated as if it had never been held,’’ with your high confidence, the Lancasterian might ask any thing else and not be disappointed. But will Democrats, who have memory and self-respect, submit to these insults ? We cannot believe it.‘ They would not do so in any other county of the Commonwealth, nor do we think they will in Lancaster. Wickedness of Abolitionism. To show our readers what Abolitionism is dri ving at, and to guard the young especially against this most dangerous sect of infidels, who would crush religion and the Bible, and trample the most sacred things in the dust, we copy the following notice of a recent Epeech from the- notorious Llotd Garrison, one of the leaders in the crusade against the institutions of the South: The speaker attacked the inspiration of the Bible- The question of inspiration, he said, was worth noth ing in the present age. The greatest amount of im morality was compatible with the highest degree of veneration. The Bible had become the .most pop ular, the most fash&nable book in America. . It was not difficult to believe' in a fashionable book, and faith in the Bible was no clue to moral conduct. So .also of dogmas of different kinds. Southern slaveholders believed in universal depravity, and by their, example went far to prove its truth. [Hisses.] The magnetic telegraph has been of more benefit to the human family than all the discussions, since the world began, upon the atonement, redemption, &c. [Hisses.] So with, regard to ordinances and ' public worship. These were not evidences ot moral character, because observance of them is fashionable and therefore worthless. All chunk organizations were no more sacred than the boots apd shoes which men manufacture. the observance of the Sabbath. The dogma that the observance of the Sabbath day will save this nation, the speaker denounced as a dogma that would damn the nation. Ditto faith in Christ. This belief in Jesus—was it, he asked, any evidence of a man’s goodness? Some of the audience responded, apparently from the gallery, “ Yes, sir.” Whereupon Mr. Garrison continued, “ I say no. In this country Jesus is be come obsolete , and faith in Jesus is obsolete also.’’ lE7"The following complimentary notice of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Judge Lewis, is taken from the Williamsport (Lycoming) Gazette, of the Gth instant: How. Ellis Lewis. —We were pleased at seeihg in the streets of our borough, on Saturday last, the familiar and always pleasant countenance of our old friend, the distinguished President Judge of the second judicial district of Pennsylvania, who being called to Elmira on important business connected with the prosecution ot the Williamsport and El mira railroad, embraced the occasion of making . the Everlasting State,” and the citizens thereof, a limited visit, on his return home. We learn that-a number of our citizens, without distinction of party, united in tendering the Judge a public dinner at the United States Hotel, but a desire to avoid display, prompted him to decline the invitation, while he expressed his happiness in anticipating a friendly meeting with so many of his old friends and fellow citizens. During his stay among us die was called upon and greeted by a large number ot persons, who had accidently or otherwise heard ot his arrival, and many a hearty welcome was extended, '■for the sake of avid lang syne.'' # There is something peculiar in the public career of Judge Lewis, which all must-admire and few can imitate. From the friendless position of a poor printer boy, he has gradually but steadily pressed forward and upward, filling many respon sible places of honor and trust, until he has attained the eminence of being one of the first lawyers and jurists in the State. Indeed, we know of no judge , whose opinions, abroad convey more force and authority, and if unremitted assiduity to the study of a profession which enlists one’s whole love, combined with a young and vigorous constitution, can make eminence pre-emiaent, we are confident that the subject of this notice will yet live to be the Mansfield of the American judiciary.

The Board of Canal Commissioners, at their meeting in Philadelphia on Friday week, concluded a sale of the Columbia Railroad Bridge over the Schuylkill, together with the road leading from the foot ot the Inclined Plane into the City, the Collector’s Office and Car Depot, for $243,700. , The act that authorizes the sale, stipulates that the proceeds shall be applied for the purpose of repair ing the State Road, between Philadelphia and CoI- r umbia. £7* Oak Hall, Boston , is in constant public favor.

Editor: —Agreeably to public notice the Frazfr men of Conestoga township, met on Sat urday the 9thinst;, for the purpose of choosing “ not less than three or more than five delegates ” to represent the township in *h e County Convention. They, to the number of having assembled* then proceeded to business and appointed 3 dele gates, two of whom were present, and the third one, who report .ay i. a BioLER-man, being ab .ent, after which the meeting adjourned. Some of the members of the committee had manifested areat anxiety and had gone to the trouble of circu lating printed notices, which was a procedure here tofore unkown in this township, for the purpose of creating a stir on the occasion; but it proved a complete failure. The Democrats would not turn out, many of whom, are unable to comprehend the reason why “ Pennslyvania’s favorite son,” should be so unfeelingly censured for, they know not what, by the principal actors in the farce, without assign ing a reason for such, ignoble conduct; men too, who were his warm friends and fond admirers, a few short years ago. «Oh ! consistency thou art a jewel which many have yet to attain.” It would have'been a very easy matter for the friends of Col. Bigler, to nave secured the delegates for him, but they declined participating on the occasion, choosing rather, to defer acting until the time ipe cified for that purpose by the regular County Com mittee.
