B7*We invite the special attention ol every Democrat in Lancaster county, to the article from the Montrose Democrat, as also the extract from Mr. Buchanan’s great speech in favor of the Inde pendent Treasury, delivered in the Senate of the United States nearly twelve years ago—together with the extract from his speech in this City, in 1840, the resolution of Col. Frazer in the County Convention of that year, &c.&c. We dislike to occupy so much room with these articles, to the exclusion of much other matter more interesting to the general reader; but the character of the opposition made to Mr. Buchanan in this County, at the present time, would seem to render itappro priate, if not necessary, for the information of our Democratic friends—especially as they, will, in a very short time, be called Upon to act on the ques tion of electing delegates to a County Convention, and thereby express their preference in regard to the next Presidency. , IP* Mrs. E.

' A Democratic meeting was held at Miffiintown Juniata county, on Saturday evening laßt, for the > purpose of forming a Buchanan Club. •j. IP" Col. Bigler, the Governor elect of Pennsyl : vania, has been elected a member of the Harrisburg ; Typographical Society. The treaioii " .The argument of Counsel tn this case was ended finally on Thursday morning, jby the Hon: Janies Cooper on behalf of the Government. The charge of the Court (nearly as long as. the President’s Message,) was then delivered by Judge Grjsb, in which he fully defined the law of Treason, and expressed an opinion that the offence committed by Han way and his. associates did not amount to, that crime. The Jury, after being out a few min* utes, returned into Court with of acquittal. The Pennsylvanian, of Friday, referring to the sub ject, says| ! The treason trial that has occupied the Circuit Court of the United States of this District for the last two weeks or more, was yesterday brought to to a conclusion, the prisoner,; Castner Hanway, being acqoitted.'rThis result has been expected, since the commencement ot the trial, as. the evi dence appears to be insufficient to make a'case of treason. Judge Grier, in bis charge th the jury, gave a clear and forcible explanation of the law.— He said, that although the transaction with which the prisoner was connected did ;not rise to the dig-, nity of treason or a levying of war, the case was one of aggravated riot and murder, wantonly com mitted after all attempt to execute the legal process had been abandoned, and that the guilty participa tors merit and should receive at the bands of the State Courts condign punishment The punish* ment of the rioters and murderers now reste with the State authorities. | Castner Hanway has since been arrested) at the instance of District Attorney Thompson, of this county, and has given bail to stand his trial at the January Court, on a charge of Riot, &c. The other prisoners, we presume, will be tried before the Circuit Court of United States, at Philadelphia, on the charge of Treaspn. Kossuth and the Senate. The unexpected opposition to a resolution invi ting the great Magyar Chief tojvisit the U. States Senate, is thus alluded to by Kossuth. After stat ing to the Philadelphia Committee that the action of Congress, if he had known |ol it, would .have made him hesitate about coining to this country at all, he adds: u The reason why I say this, is, that though I am fully aware of the circumstance that in the United States it is the public opinion of the people which decides in the last instance on public affairs and though I must confess- that I • have received here in New York such a 'manifestation of the sympathy of the people as gives me hope and con solation, still I regard myselfinvited to this country by an act of Congress initiated! in the Senate. Now, had.l known that in the same place where I was invited, the same body would now decline to ,bid me a welcome, I would have thought that I was not a welcome guest; so much the more as the President of the United. States has formally in vited the Congress in his- ; message to consider what steps are to be taken to receive jhe man for whom be has sent a frigate to Asia, complying with the will of the same body in which, now a resolution of no further political tendency—the simple resolution to bid me a welcome—was withdrawn, on account of an unexpected opposition. Under such circum stances I would not have wished to intrude.’’ 07* The resolution has since! passed the Senate by a nearly unanimous vote. ID" The opposition to Mr. Buchahas here, in his own county, where he has spent more than forty years of his life, is the more remarkable, when it : is considered that he is one of the most liberal and benevolent men to be found any where, and has always, during his whole life, sustained that char acter. A stranger, to have witnessed a specimen of his benevolence, need only to have looked into Prince-street, in front of the Mayor’s Office, in this City, a week or two ago, and seen the im mense pile of wood standing there for the use of indigent females in this City. That, of itself, ought to put to the blush bis enemies, and should at least’ if it did nothing more, soften the asperity of their opposition. We ask which of his opponents in this City, or all of them combined, have done as much to alleviate the distresses of the suffering poor in our midst? And this is not for one season alone but the fund he invested for that purpose, several years ago, is to be perpetual—as long “as grass grows and water, runs.” And this is but one of the innumerable charities he is dispensing with such a liberal hand—yet he is made the target lor the poisonous shafts of envy and malice to be hurled at! 11 Oh shame, where’s thy blush!” ' 07“ The Lancasterian, with a view of diverting public attention from the connection of its master with SIMON CAMERON, a fact no longer to be concealed from the public eye, is engaged in the futile attempt to injure Mr. Buchanan because forsooth, ex-Governor David R. Porter chooseß to be his friend ! No doubt his friendship would be prized and Governor P. would be a marvellously proper man and a first rate Democrat to boot, it he would only oppose Mr. B; but, as the “boot is on the other leg,” why then he is every thing base and vile in their eyes, and is to be kicked heels oyer head out of the party. Well, well, all we have to say is, that the Winnebago tribe will find the old Governor an ugly customer to deal with. Hon. John B. Stbbigeiie. —One of the most cruel, to call it by no harsher name, attacks we have ever read is contained in the Lancasterian of Wednesday last, on this gentleman. ' Even if there was cause for such an onslaught, which we wholly deny, the well known fact that for months past Mr. Sterigehe has been prostrated by disease from which it is not expected be will ever recover, should have shielded him from such hyena-like ferocity. . But he is the friend of Mr. Buchanan, and that is sufficient, for the Lancasterian—and the immediate cause of offence is, that Mr. 8., on the occasion of his recent visit to Philadelphia, rode out to Norris town, a distance of some twelve or fifteen miles, to see his old and now lingering on the brink of the grave. Virginia Election. The first regular election, under the provisions oi the new Constitution, was held last week in Vir ginia, and resulted in the triumphant election of Johnston, the Democratic candidate for Governor, by a majority of from 8 to 10,000, and also a large majority in both branches of the Legislature. The “Old Dominion” is always right side up, and no mistake! Jefferson County All Right; On the 9th inst., the Democrats of Jefferson co. met at Brookville, and elected David Barclay, Esq., to represent that county in the 4th of March Con vention, with unanimous instructions to support the nomination of the Hon. Jahfs Buchanan for the Presidency. 07* We were delighted to see and take by the hand, Dr. J. Longeneckbr, late from California, after an absence of nearly three years. The Dr. is apparently looking well, and in fine spirits; in him we find—a noble, generous, whole-souled fellow, and we presnme, it will be a source of gratification to his numerous friends and acquaintances, here and abroad, to know of his ushering into our midst— also of his permanent stay amongst us hereafter., We hope he has fared adequately, m accumulating the dust. The New Supreme Court.— We learn from our Philadelphia exchanges, that the new Su- of this State was organized on Mon day of last week—all five Judges being present.— Chief Justice Black and Judges Lewis and Low. bie have taken rooms at M’Kibben’s Merchants’ Hotel; Judge Gibson is at the United States, and Judge Coulter at Jones’ Hotel.

The enemies of Mr. Buchanan in Lancaster couoty? in their desperation, are willing to resort to any thing, no matter how contemptible and Jn? famous, to injure hind in the estimation; of his fel low citizens. We heard mach in the Federal prints years ago, about what they were pleased to call the “ten Cent ’’ speech delivered !by our dis-: tinguiabed fellowcitizen'intheSenate of the Uni ted States, on the 22d of January, 1840; but, gen erally speaking, they have since become ashamed, of their conduct, and have ceased altogether to give currency to the infamons falsehood. Not so, how ever, with the Lancasterian and those who in fluence and controls its course/ That sheet seems to take-delight in circulating all' man ner of falsehoods a gainst Mr. B.; and we are in formed that the men referred tp-rbetter known*, as' boUert at the late election—are now busily engaged* in every section of the county, circulating this abominable slander' with a view to prejudice, if possible, the minds of honest but unsuspecting Democrats against Mr. Buchanan. For the pur pose of nailing the falsehood to the counter, we again re-publisb an extract, from his great speech, above referred toj on the Independent Treas ury Bill, made in reply to Mr. Clat. We copy from the Appendix to the Congressional Globe’, and the extract contains that portion o! it in which tbs sentiment attributed to him about “ ten cents a day,” is alleged to have been uttered. The whole 1 speech, (which is of great length,) if any one de sires to look at it, can be 6een at this office—it having been first published in the Lancaster Intel ligencer in February, 1840—and we defy the inge nuity of any man to find such a sentiment, t>r to put such a construction upon any word, sentence or paragraph in it. Even John Davis, the Federal Senator from Massachusetts, who grossly misrep resented Mr. Buchanan’s speech, and was after wards forced to recant, never pretended that Mr. B. had advocated the reduction of wages to ten cents per day. On the contrary, the leading sentiment through out the entire speech, is friendship for the laboring man. The motto at the head of our paper—“that Country is most prosperous where labor commands the greatest reward ” —is taken iVora this identical speech. The slander of “ ten cents a day ” is therefore, a bold, unmitigated falsehood, known to be so by the reckless and unprincipled men engaged in its circulation, as well as by every intelligent man in the community. But, in order to expose their baseness, we give the extract below, so that every man may read it and judge for himself.— The publication of the speech itself is the best way to refute the slander, and we dare the enemies of James Buchanan to publish any thing he has ever said or done to warrant so vile a calumny upon his character. Mr. B. upon the occasion referred to said: But the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. Clay] leaves no stone unturned. He says that the friends of the Independent Treasury desire to establish an exclusive metallic currency, as the mediufn of all dealings throughout the Union; and, also, to re duce the wages of the poor man’s labors so that the rich employer may be able to sell his manufactures at a lower price. -Now, sir, I deny the correctness of both these propositions ; antf, in the first place, I, for one, am not in favor of establishing an ex clusive metallic currency for the people of this country. I desire to seethe banks greatly reduced in numbei; and would, if I could, confine their ac commodations to such loans or discounts, for limi ted periods, to the commercial, manufacturing, and trading classes of the community, as the ordinary course of their business might render necessary.— I never wish to see farmers and mechanics and professional men tempted, by the facility of obtain . ing bank loans for long periods, to abandon their own proper and useful and respectable spheres, and rush into wild and extravagant speculation. I would, if I could, radically reform the present banking system, so as to confine it within such - limits as to prevent future suspensions of specie payments; and without exception, I would instantly deprive each and every bank of its charter, which should again suspend. Establish these or similar reforms, and give us a real specie basis for our pa per circulation, by increasing the denomination of bank notes first to ten, and afterwards to twenty dollars, and I shall then be the friend, not the ene my of banks. I know that the existence of banks and the circulation of bank paper are so identified with the habits of our people, that they cannot be abolished, even if this were desirable. To reform, and not to destroy, is my motto. To confine them to their appropriate business, and prevent them from ministering to the spirit of wild and reckless speculation, by extravagant loans and issues, is all which ought to be desired. But this I shall say. If experience should prove it to be impossible, to en joy the facilities which well regulated banks would afford, withou., at the same time, continuing to suffer the evils which the wild excesses of the pres ent banks have hitherto entailed upon the country, then I should consider it the,lesser evil to abolish them altogether. If.tfie State Legislatures shall now do their duty, I do not believe'that it will ever become necessary to decide on such an alternative. We are also charged by the Senator from Ken tucky with a desire to reduce the wagesof the poor man’s labor. We have been often termed agra rians on our side of the House. It iB something new under the sun, to hear the Senator and his friends attribute to us a desire to elevate the wealthy manufacturer, at the expense of the laboring man and the mechanic. From my soul, I respect the laboring man. Labor is the foundation of the wealth of every country; and the free laborers of the North deserve respect, both for their probity and their intelligence. Hteaven forbid that I should do them wrong f Of all the countries on the earth, we ought to have the most consideration for the la boring man. From the very nature of our institu tions, the wheel of fortune is constantly revolving and producing such mutationsjn property, that the wealthy man- of to-day may become the poor la borer of tomorrow. Truly wealth often takes to itself wings and flies away. A large fortune rarely lasts beyond the third generation, even ifitenduro so long. We must all know instances of individ uals obliged to labor for their Saily bread, whose grandfathers were men of fortune. The regular process of society would almost seem to consist of the efforts of one class to dissipate the fortunes which they have inherited, whilst another class, by their industry and economy, are regularly rising to wealth. We have all, therefore, a common in terest, as it is our common duty, to protect the rights of the laboring man; and if I believed for a moment that this bill would prove injurious to him, it should meet my unqualified opposition. Although this bill will not have as great an influ ence, as I could desire, yet, as far as it goes, it will benefit the laboring man as much, and proba bly more, than any other class of society. What is it he ought most to desire? Constant employment, regular wages, and uniform reasonable prices for the necessaries and comforts of life which he re quires. Now, sir, what has been his condition un der our system of expansions and contractions?— He has suffered more by them than any other class of society. The rate of bis wages is fixed and known ; and they are the last to rise°with the in creasing expansion, and ihe first to fall when the corresponding revulsion occurs. He still continues to receive his dollar per day, whilst the price of every article which he consumes is rapidly rising. He is at length, made to feel that, although he nom inally earns as much, or even more than he did formerly, yet, from the increased prices of all the necessaries of life, he cannot support his family. Hence the strikes for higher wages, and the uneasy and excited feelings which have at different periods, existed among the laboring classes. But the ex pansion at length reaches the exploding point, and what does the laboring mail now suffer? He is for a season thrown out of employment altogether. Our manufactures are suspended ; ourpublic works are stopped ; our private enterprises of different kinds are abandoned; and, whilst others are able to weather the storm, he can scarcely procure the means of bare subsistence. Again, sir, who, do you suppose, held the great er part of the worthless paper of the one hundred and sixty-fiv6 broken banks to which I have refer red ? Certainly it was not the keen and wary spec ulator, who snuffs danger from afar. If you were to make the search, you would find more broken bank notes in the cottages of the laboring poor than any where else. And these miserable shin plasters, where are they ? After the revulsion of 1837, laborers were glad to obtain employment on any terms; and they often received it upon the ex press condition that they should accept this worth less trash in payment. Sir, an entire suppression of all bank notes of a lower denomination than the value of one week’s wages of the laboring man is absolutely necessary for-his protection. He ought always to receive his wages in gold and silver. Of all men on the earth, the laboreris most interested in having a sound and stable currency. All other circumstances being equal, I agree with the Senator from Kentucky that that country is most prosperous where labor commands the highest wages. I do not, however, mean by the terms “highest wages,” the .greatest nominal amount.— During the Revolutionary war, one day’s work com manded a hundred dollars of continental paper; but this would scarcely have purchased a breakfast. The more proper expression would be, to say that that country is most prosperous where labor com mands the greatest reward ; where one day’s labor will procure not the greatest nominal amount of a depreciated currency, but most of the necessaries and comforts of life. If, therefore, you should, in some degree, reduce the nominal price paid for labor, by reducing .the amount of your bank issues 1 witbin * bans for; your paper cfrealfc&on, wopld injure foe laborer? Certainly not;because foe prices ofpil tfie neceM&riea and Comforts of reduced in the Bamep'roportion, and ’he wilKbe able to purchase more of themfor one dollar.ui a rqam state of the jjte -to aldiaTe done, in the days of extravs^nt v jexp&Mion, fin* a dollar and a quarter. So firfroo injuring, it vail greatly benefit the laboring man. It willinsorbrto him constant employment dvices, paid 'in.skspand currency, which,.bfaß'thingtj lra ought mpet to desire j and it will-five him from being 1 in volved in rain by a recurrence of those periodical expansions and contractions of the currency, which have'hitherto convulsed the country. This sound state of the currency will have an other most happy, effect, upon the .laboring, maa*-? He will receive his wages in gold and silver; and this will, indoce him to Jay op, for Jutare use r sach & portion of them as he can spire, after satisfying his immediate wants. This he will not do at pres ent, because he knows not whether die trash which he is now compelled to receive AAraoney, willcjon tinne to .be of any value a week or :a. month here after. ’ A knowledge of tins fact tends to banish economy from his dwelling, and induces him. to expend ali bis wages, as rapidly as possible, lest they .may become worthless on bis bands. Sir, the laboring classes understand this' subject perfectly. It is the hard handedaod firm fisted men of the country on whom we must rely in the. day of danger, who are the most friendly to the passage of this bill. It is they who are the most ardently in favor of infusing info the currency of the country a very large amount of the precious metals. \ iLr In addition to the above from the speech it self, we insert'below the following Extract from a speech made by Mr. Buchanan, before the great Democratic Mass Convention, held in this City on the sth of August, 1840, some six or seven months after the foregoing was delivered in the Senate.- In this short extract, he effectually scattered to the four points* of the compass, the base calumnies with which he was assailed. Mr. B. says:— ! I come now to speak' of another whig misrepre sentation, which concerns myself personally. It has been gravely published and incessantly repeated * all over the country, that I seriously rose on the floor of the Senate, and said, in substance, “Mr. President, I advocate the passage, of the Indepen dent Treasury Bill, because it would reduce'the value of the poor man’s wages and of all the prop erty in the country.” A charge so absurd would be scarcely worthy of a serious refutation, but for the pertinacity with which its truth is insisted upon. If I could have uttered such a sentiment, I should have been worthy of a strait jacket and a cell in Bedlam, instead of a seat in the Senate of the Unf ted States. The whigs have already ridden this hobby to death, as they have done every other.— “ Buchanan wages,” as they call them, have beeti in a rapid state of depreciation. Theyjoon sunk to ten cents per day for w»ges, and 25 cents for a bushel of wheat. Recently I have understood, that, a public meeting has been called in this county of all those opposed to the reduction of wages to six cents per day, and the price of a bushel of wheat to sixteen cents. At the next step, the Whigs will compel the poor man to work for nothing, and find -himself! And it is by such ridiculous absurdities as these, that they expect to delude the intelligent people of this country! The strangest part of the whole concern is, that this falsehood is not only without any shadow of foundation, but is in direct opposition, not merely to a passing remark in my speech, but to one of the principal heads of my argument. Mr. Clay, to whom I replied, had con tended that the Independent Treasury Bill would in its'consrquences, reduce the wages of the poor man’s labor. In opposition to this doctrine I con-' tended, at length, that it would produce no such effect, and that it would benefit the laboring man i as much, and probably more, than any other class of society. I declared that, from my soul, I re spected the laboring man, ajid that labor was the foundation of the wealth of every country. I em phatically-pronounced the opinion that that country was the most prosperous where labor commanded the greatest reward; and solemnly stated that if I believed for a moment that the Bill would prove injurious to the laboring man, it should meet my unqualified opposition. I not only asserted these general propositions; but endeavored to sustain them by a long argument; with what success the public may judge. On the very next day, the whig Senator from Maryland, Mr. Merrick, who is an honest man, replied to my argument, which he stated fairly, in a speech which has been published’ to the world. In opposition, he said, to the de scription of the Bill given by me, he contended that I was mistaken, and that it would “ reduce the value of property and the wages of labor in the United States.” This was one of the chief points at issue between the Whig and Democratic parries in the Senate; the Whigs contending that the Bill would, and the Democrats that it would not, reduce the reward of labor and the value of property. You may then judge of my astonishment when I discovered that it was asserted and reiterated all over the country that I had advocated the Bill be cause it would produce the very effect which I had 1 spent much lima in proving that it would not pro duce! Such ridiculous falsehoods give me no concern; because I know that no man in the.coun try, whatever he may profess for party effect', be lieves the silly slander. I need make no professions of my devotion to the interests of the poor man. The whole history of my Legislative life, which has now not been short, will prove that, whenever an opportunity has offered, I have been his.advo cate and his friend. ; B7“And in connection with the above, we publish the following resolution unanimously adopted at a Democratic County Convention, held in this City on the 9th of September, 1840—some eight months after Mr. Buchanan’s Senatorial speech was deliv ered, and at a time when the faslehood was being extensively circulated by the Whig_and Antima sonic presses of the State. The Committee who reported the resolutions to the Convention, were Messrs. REAH FRAZER, Dr. J. J. Given, Francis G. Fell, R. R. Heftier, Samuel Harrison, Jacob Glatz and Samuel C. Stambaugh, and the following is the one in refer ence to Mr. Buchanan : Resolved, That the Hon. James Buchabab, U S, Senator, has won the admiration an'd esteem of the Democracy of the Union, by his able and pa triotic conduct; and that the slanders.and'false hoods ot the common enemy, are unworthy of notice and beneath contempt. ; The “ slanders and falsehoods ” referred to by Col. Frazeb and his associates on the Committee, alluded to the “ ten cents a day ” speech, soßcalled at the time by the Whig and Antimasonic papers throughout Pennsylvania. We could add much more, from Mr. Bucbasab's speeches and acts, as well as from the speeches and acts of some of his present revilers, to strengthen the testimony we have given ; but we think the above will suffice. The evidence adduced abundantly establishes his innocence of the base charge alluded to, and should cause his enemies to blush for shame at their own baseness. We have now done with the subject, and trust that we may have no occasion to refer to it again. “Save me from such Friends V’ Well might the old statesman of Michigan make such an exclamation, after reading the subjoined significant article copied from the Chicago (111.) Democrat, a paper which, for several weeks past, has had the name of Judge Douglass ut the head of its columns: . ' “Judge Douglass expects to be the first choice of no State but his own, but he has a right to expect that he will be the second choice of all the States which elect Cass delegates. We think Gen. Cass misses it that he allows himself to be outdone by Mr. Buchanan, his rival, in courtesy to Judge Doug lass. '• Such are the feelings of Judge Douglass and . his friends towards Gen. Cass that they have had it in serious contemplation to give him the honor of the vote of Illinois, at Baltimore, on the first ballot, provided it will not secure his nomination. They are willing to confer upon Gen. Cass any honor in their power, providing it does not cause Mb nomi nation, and thereby distract and defeat the Demo cratic party, as in 1848:” 03" The following are the Chairmen of the most important Standing Committees in Congress: « SENATE.

Tbojhbos, (Whig.) has boon elec ted to the D. S. Senate, from Kentucky. tti grat of ’52, pditieal men-and politiealpresaes are indulging in all aorta of speculation; arid recommending all aorta .atmenfor allaqiteqf reaaoM. It|is a little - country possesses, at’thistime, ao many menanxiooaand qualified for tbit position ffa position partly th|rnost ex?fled| and ..pfhe names reamiimendla for.;! the Office, at this early day, are legioii; and if the Democratic Convention at'Baltimore doea not pnt in nomination a good man, “the faiilt.is not in our stara, dear Bratus,”—for there will be plenty of timber from, which to‘choose. . We have sometimes feared,' jn the Past, that there was too great a tendency in the pOpniar mind- to be dazzled with new things; and also to award the honors of-the Presidential office to men on account of some martial achievement, withdut reference to statesmenlike qualifications. .We are not of that number who would pass coldly by the. claims thai men may have upon our gratitude, who have per : ;led life and fortune, ease and pleasure in the service ol our country on bloody fields. Far from it. the lion-hearted warrior—theJ-ed-handCd patriot—has claims upon the generosity’ and sympathy of his country that should ever live in the! hearts of her citizens, who should reward him with tokens ot their highest confidence and most unbounded grati tude. That caii be done, however, j separate and [ apart Jrom. the office of President of these States, and should be,.unless to the successful, brave and patriotic soldier, can be added the sagacity, the ripe experience and wisdom of the Statesman. Those qualifications that make up the one have but little •to do with the other, and the man whose life has been spent in camps, whose experience and study has been war, must find himself in a strange posi tion when called upon to administer this govern ment,—to guide the destinies of this great and most powerful nation. Overwhelmed by the responsibil ity of the station, —embarrassed and bewildered by its novelty, without experience in governmental affairs, he becomes the prey of designing men, is easily misled and ensnared, and lilce the honest and lamented Harrison.and Taylor, his administra tion is a blunder, and ten to one every power ot the/ body is worn out by the crushing weight thatrefts upon the mind, and he passes to the grave, and the government to thj hands of men to whom the peo ple never meant to intrust it. i Aside from this we have often heard men reason, (hat some new man should be nominated, —that the exigencies of the times demanded a geheral slaugh ter, so to speak, of those who have long been, connected with the affairs of ouf government,—that ad such should be set aside for some obscure person) available because of his obscurity. To such logic in the general we do not accede, because we do not recognize the principle, or ratber the doctrine of availability. We grant that in; some instances it may be well, as in the person of Mr. Polk it was, but for a rule on which .to act ;we condemn it as unsafe and quite, obnoxious to reason. : In that case Where should we look"for the inducement sufficien to draw the men ot our countryjinto public service, when a certainty, fixed and irrevocable, faced them at the outset, that after years of toil and devotiont in more.humble positions,—after thus having ac quired the experience that would enable them to discharge higher and more responsible trusts with honor to themselves and their country, they were then to be thrust thanklessly aside, rewarded only by the cold neglect ot a constituency they had served with fidelity, and left, ten to one, to pass their days, remaining, in indigence arid penury.— We say in such an event there! is no inducement that can possibly enlist the giant men of our coun try in her service; for commanding talent, in this country where every avenue is.oppn to success, en sures a full return for its service in affluence, honor, and final ease. . We hold that every consideration connected with the safety, welfare and. perpetuity of this government urges, o! the American i people that in the choice of the men who shall be entrusted with our country’s destiny, they should make learning, experience, talent, in short, statesman-like excellence indispensible requisites;—that in’ the person of the Executive Bhould all these qualities be found combined, and running - through every department,—centered around the government it self, should be a combination of excellencies such as only our whole country can produce.; Then, and only then, will our government! take the position among the nations of the earth such as God design ed, commanding the respect of all, the admiration of many, and receive the full recognition of her rights. ! Present indications point unerringly to the nom inee of the Democracy in '52, as the next President of the United Whoever he maybe, should anything like a judicious nomination be made, he must be the chosen one by the voice of the American people. The most prominent named now, are Mr. Buchanan of our own .State, Gen* Cabs, Geo. Butier, and Hon. Stephen A. Doug iass. One of these four will, without doubt, be the nominee. What changes time and circum stances may work no one can tell, but the Present points to Mr. Buchanan, saying; above all others now, “thou art the man.” There is no disguising the fact, let it be turned which 'way it may, that to ; 'day Mr. Buchanan’s chances for thehominatiori are two to one fairer than any other man. In this State the contest has all the while been,and is now) between him and Gen. Cass. all will accord to Gen. Cass his full merits as! a Statesman and warrior,—however willing and anxious ithe Democ racy of. Pennsylvania might havd been to give him their strength in ’4B, ice cannot; prefer him nor do we think he could carry ; the electoral vote of the State should he be nominated. Further than this, Gen. Cass has made some i most movements, and especially has he been unfortunate in the selection of men to whom jto intrust his for tunes in Pennsylvania. It would have been better, far better for him, never to have: suffered his name to be used in the contest for Delegates in this State, in the next State Convention. By so doing he has fallen into his present unfortunate position, having attached to him men who are hot recognized as radical Democrats, and yet they appear as his leaders. With Simon Cameron we, in common with the Democracy of Susquehanna county, have ; no affinity. ! j. Gen. Cass then has gained nothing and lost much' by suffering his name to be. used in this State.— Besides placing himself in the position before al luded to, he will have but a corporal’s guard in the fourth of Maipb* Convention. Already have enough counties declared by Delegates for Mr. Bu-l chanan with others of which he is sure, to give him. the State by an overwhelming majority; so 1 that he has already carried Pennsylvania, and the success of any other candidate in this State is out of the question, so far as the election of Delegates; is concerned. j ' i We would by no -means be understood as sayingj that we think Mr. Buchanan’s nomination certain.! Ail we mean to say is, that of all others his chanced is now the first, and whether he ; be nominated or; not, his friends will have the strength to control the: nomination. The voice of Pennsylvania Vill be! heard and heeded in the Baltimore Convention, and ber choice will be the choice theire in the event of Mr. Buchanan’s defeat. What then, under these circumstances, should the Democracy of Pennsyl vania do? What position shall they; occupy,—* ought they to occupy in justice to themselves, with; the control of the next national administration in! their hands?; We say in justice themselves,j because the power that they now‘and will hold, | will be either an element of strength or weakness.; That Mr. Buchanan will be presented by the 1 Pennsylvania Delegation to the Baltimore Conven-j tion is a foregone conclusion; and why should they not be backed up by a constituency speaking full : toned ? Why, with the power in : their! own hands j to control the next administration, should they not: firmly, ,*nd i .ukipe’advantage position qgjTbu t occupy make to themselves State 1 For ourselves we confess we cgffseeno good reason why, when tjjeyong'heglecteef cfiffms'of our State are about tote recognized;' we shoujd not profit by it- At yet this Commonwealth has never tarnished a President to the Nation. While we have always feleeteffphe, we hava'gpver had one. And, in.onr judgment, the fault lies at odr own door. - We have been governed by the charlatan politiciansot other States to the neglect of worth in our own, and it is high time that we pause in our foolish and suicidal career. A few words in reference to Mr. Buchanan and we close this article, which is already quite too long. For the last thirty years; he has been in public life almost constantly. As Minister to For eign Courts, in the Senate pf the Nation and in the Cabinet, he has discharged the highest trusts with the most commanding ability and honor. It may be triumphantly asked, in whose person have the dignity and greatness of Pennsylvania been main tained equally with Jams Buchanan? What statesman have we ever furnished whose talents and famehave shed such enduring lustre upon our State and country? In him are the essential ele ments of greatness combined, and the lamented Polk, well understood his duty to the country when he gave to Mr. Buchanan- the highest place' in his Cabinet, and made him the right arm of his brilliant and successful administration. It is not too much to say, nor is it 'any disparagement to the merits of others, that to the talents, energy, and great experience of Mr. Buchanan is the country most deeply indebted now, for the glorious achieve ments of Mr. Polk’s administration. His right’ arinwas-ever at the helm. In conclusion We remark, that above and beyond all we wish to see the Democracy of Pennsylvania occupy a position, that will enable them to go into the next Presidential contest with honor and with zeal. We wish to see the National administration in the hands that have so-long and ably conducted it,—the Democracy of the nation .restored to the ,proud position of former days, and in the enthusi astic support of the Baltimore nominee we look for such a restoration, to which we shall be proud to contribute our humble efforts. —Montrose (Sus quehanna Co.) Democrat. The Compromise Acts. The following is the resolution offered by Gen Foots, in the T 7. S. Senate, on the 4th inst., which is now the subject of discussion in that body: Be it resolved , That the series of measures em braced in the acts entitled “An act proposing to the State of Texas the establishment of her north ern and eastern boundaries, the relinquishment by the said State of all territory claimed by her ex terior to said boundaries, and of all her claims upon the United States, and to establish a Terri torial Government for New. Mexico,” approved September 9th, 1850; “An act for the admission ol the State of California into the Union.” approved September 10th, 1850; “An act to establish a Ter ritorial Government for Utah,” approved Septem ber 9th, 1850; "An act to amend an- act supple mentary to the act entitled an act respecting lugi gitives from justice and persons escaping from the service of their masters,” approved February 12th, 1793, and approved ’ September 18th, 1850; and “An act to suppress the slave trade in the District ot Columbia,” approved September 20th, 1850, commonly known as the “Compromise Acts,” are, in the judgdmeht ot this body, entitled to be recog nized as a definitive adjustment and settlement of the distracted, questions growing out of the system of domestic slavery, and, as such, that such meas ures should be acquiesced in and . respected by all good citizens. Meeting of the Bar. At a meeting of the Lancaster Bar, held at the Court House on the 28th ultimo, the following res olutions, reported by Col. Reah Frazer, were unan imously adopted: 1. Resolved, That as members of the Bar of Lancaster county, we have heard with profound re ’gret the announcement of the death of Amos Ell maker, Esq. 2. Resolved, That by this dispensation of Divine Providence, not only has our profession been depri ved of one of its oldest and most respected mem bers, but the community has sustained an irrepa rable loss. 3. Resolved, That as a Lawyer he was Iqarned, clear, able and sound to an extent rarely equalled • and as a citizen he was courteous, unassuming pure and honest to a degree never surpassed. 4. Resolved, That while we deplore his loss, this Bar will revere his memory, as. illustrated by every trait which should distinguish the citizen, the ad vocate and the man. 5. Resolved, That we present our sincere condo lence to his family under this heavy bereavement, with the assurance that in so doing we only repre sent the feeling of this entire community. 6. Resolved, That we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and will attend his funeral in a body. 7. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be communicated to the family of the deceased, and that a committee of five be appointed by the Chair man for that purpose. $lOO,OOO Dollars Recovered* Oiir indefatigable State Treasurer, Gen. John M. Bickel, has recovered from the officers of the Bank of the United States one hundred thousand dollars with interest. This was the money contracted to be paid under tbe charter of the bank to the Com monwelilth for school purposes, “ The defence ta ken'upon the trial was that the bank was no longer in existence—that the “ Monster” was in truth and in law totally defunct, excepting, perhaps, a few slight and nervous twitchings of the tail, sufficient to induce certain trustees, creditors, stock-jobbers and lawyers to preserve the body without burying it. It v* as replied to this, that as elections were still held for directors and other officers of the bank it was to.be deemed and taken to enjoy a legal ex istence, if such an existence can be considered an enjoymenf, althougb-it was confessed its sufferings under the present treatment are intolerable. The learned Judge decided that the defendant exhibited, for tbe purposes of this case, enough energy to be held accountable for its promises to the State, re serving the question of its real existence for review hereafter by the court, when the galvanic battery of a full bench will be brought to bear upon the “subject,” and its vitality definitely determined ac cording to “ Crowuer’s quest law.— Dem.

Webb of jte Courier and Mr. Raymond of the Times, are °f discussion to day io public places. ;Col: Webb haa so opposed Koasu h io his paper, tmpqgned his motives end villifieß his good name that it seems a matter of surprise that he should accept an invitation to dine with the Governor of Hungary, or being present that that he should at tempt to address the company. But it appears that although Mr. Raymond has been appointed by the committee to reply to Ihe toast of “ Tho Press, Col. Webb urosc and insisted upon the precedence. Of course a disturbance ensued and Col. W. was silenced by the company. He commenced to read his speech afterwards, but was compelled to pocket it, at least Tor publication. Kossuth expects-to remain here yet for some days- The dinner given him by the Press, baa got to come off, and also the dinner by the Bar; at present most of his time is occupied with the duly of atteodiog and specking to the various deputations rom other cities. His speeches ore all very good, an some quite eloquent! though it is evident after reading the literal copy of the one- he made last evening at the Municipal Banquet, that he does not so happily express himselt in Englishes the former efforts of his addresses led us to infer. Still it is a wonder, that in a tongue so different as our own, he can so fluently find oppropriate words. We had a little promise of a public stir on Wed nesday, in front of the Irving House. A mob col lected that had taken offence at the British flag sus pended there with the American, Hungarian and Turkisk, andotdered down the offensive banner. The outrage upon the Prometheus was mentioned as the reason for this piece of popular indignation. It was a genuine specimen of small-beer patriotism. The Fire Annihiiator company now annouace to the public experiments with this new invention, to take piece here on the 18th inst. Hit should fail it would be what many expect. But if it should succeed, and we think it will, mankind will havo gained something of immense social value; for it places us at once in a position to defy the destroying, element, and give us little fear from future con* fiagrations. At sea, and in our great lakes the annihiiator will prove of peculiar value, for it will render the ship and steamer thousands of miles from land as safe in regard to fire as tho’ enclosed in a harbor.

Some little excitement exists here in regard to the discovery that a certain Judge on the Bench is in the constant habit of consulting the “Spirit rap pings,’’ and permitting himself to ho guided by them in his decisions. It seems almost impoesibla, and yet as humbug is the order of the day this imposture may actually have acquired such aeon vert. . An eminent divine is also charged with pin ning his faith to the Bleeve of this piece of nuisance. We have nothing else of consequence or interest to give you to day. Yours, Observer. „ Tor tho latelltgooMr. Mr. Editor:—The double-faced correspondent of the Lancasterian who had the impudence to attack me personally, first, over the signature of “ Gloster," and subsequently over that of “ Observer ,” was very careful not to notice publicly my statement-in ref erence to his abuse.of Mr. Buchanan in the letter to which I referred, in my |ast communication, I have it from good authority, that he denied priv ately having ever written a letter of the kind referr ed to, abusive of Mr. Buchanan, and, moreover, that he never exhibited a copy of it to any person. Now sir, since the gentleman, alias Gloster, alias Observer, feels so very sensitive on that score, I am in justice bound to state, that, I am ready to prove that he not only did send such a letter as I have referred to, but he subsequently did exhibit a copy of it to cer tain persons in the city of Lancaster who are still about, and are ready to prove the truth of what I assert. His fling at “ Sir William” (a gentleman so far superior to him in every respect) is wholly uncall* ed for, as the person to whom he refers was never consulted previous to writing the last communica tion, and I am confident knew nothing about it.— But as the vigilant “ Observer ” had not the courage to deny the truth of the charge made against him or the hardihgpu to bolster up the charge he made against me, he was, as a matter of course, bound to imitate the example ol the boy who, when he had fought and lost the battle, declared it to be his set tled purpose to make mouths at the sister of the boy who had drubbe'd him. ■ “Sir William” (as the Gentleman, alias “Gloster alias “ Observer ” choses to name the gentleman who had no knowledge of our difficulty whatever,) was an officer under the general government some years since, and had the honor 0/ leaving that situation with a character, politically and personally, unsul lied and unstained and without censure from any quarter, and I challenge the gentleman, alias Gloster , alias Observer, to disprove what I say. It appears that u Gloster ,” alias u Observeralias Gentleman, cannot forbear speaking of things that have long since transpired at Washington. He no doubt feels the delicate situation in which he is placed, and I may be pardoned for saying that I too sympathize wtth him. The very idea of an office seeker going to the city of Washington, making a great show to no purpose, rejected as incompetent, coming, home and afterwards abusing the very man who was his only friend, whew, how miserable! Poor 1: Glosteralias gentleman, alias “ Observer, 11 is evidently in a sad state of political existence, and I have therefore concluded to give him a second dose, hoping that.it will prove efficacious as a su dorific and beneficial as a purgative.
