We offer the INTELLIGENCER & LANCASTE
RIAN to those who wish to take it during the
Presidential campaign upon which we have
entered, for seventy-five cents in advance. The
campaign proper will end with the Ist of De
cember, when the returns are all in and the
electoral colleges meet. The issues involved
in the campaign are of vital importance to the
Republic, and a proper understanding of them
is necessary for every citizen. We shall give
all the poli4cal news of the day, and thus en
deavor to plice arguments in the reach of our
friends who have to encounter the common
enemy.
Conslateney—What a Jewel I
The Editor of the Examiner, if we mistake
not, opposed Mr. NicitoLsox for Canal
Commissioner, last fall, and voted for Mr.
,Pt.trling, the Democratic candidate, on the
ground that the former was au Abolitionist
or Blank Republican, nominated by the lead
ers of that faction, and the latter a true Union
man supporting the principles of the Kansas-
Nebraska act. how, he advocates the election
of FREMONT and DAYTON, two out and out
Black Republicans, who were placed in nomi
nation by the same faction who nominated
Nlcia6LsoN less thati a twelve month ago—
and is modest enough, forsooth, to claim that
he stands now where he always has stood
Our neighbor, we apprehend, will find it to be
rathevan up-hill business to convince his read
el; that black means white, and, vice versa,
white means black ! Either THADDEUS STE
VENS, WM. H. SEWARD, GIDDINGS, WIL3IOT,
/ CO., have been on the right platform for the
last six or seven years, and the Examinei: was
at fault in denouncing them as it did ; or it
was right and they were wrong—consequently
that paper is now wrong when it steps upon
their platform and seeks, to Abolitionize the
Whig party of Lancaster county.
We again ask the question, and it is perti
nent to the issue—what has the Exaniiner
been assailing Mr. STEVENS for, during the
last six or seven years, if the platform erected
by the latter, as it alleges, and his Black .Re
publican friends, and the Whig platforms in
this county for the last fifteen years, are iden
tical? And why did the Editor oppose Mr.
NlenoLsoN last fall ? We pause for the an
swer.
Then and Now
On the 27th of February last, a long article
was published in the Lancaster Examiner, in
reference to the proceedings of the Know-
Nothing and Black 'Republican Conventions,
held a few days prior to that time—one at !
Philadelphia, the other at Pittsburg—from ;
which we make the following extract :
Our hearts sicken at the scenes now being
enacted and at the future to which they point,
and more than ever du we resolve to eschew
all political association that does not look be
yond such petty considerations, and take the
high ground that Americans are to live for
their country and not merely for their party,
and for their whole country and not only _for
a section of it, whether that section be North,
or South, or East, or West. WE WILL BE Or:
NO PARTY TEAT CAN EVEN BE PROVOKED INTO
SECTIONALISM BY A DISPLAY OF SECTIONALISM.
We cannot admit the justice of retaliation in
so sacred a matter, or permit it to be mixed 1
up with our patriotism. We cannot conceive
of a Northern patriot or a Southern patriot.—
He may be a Northern man or a S'outhern
man; may have Northern attachments or
Southern associations: but if lie be a patriot
he will be only an American, and know uo
North, no South, no East, no West , : and of a
measure that is•proposed, he will not ask will
it benefit my section of the country or anoth
er's, but is it desirable for the whole Union?
If so, it shall have my support, even though
another section gains most immediately by it.
Although the article was copied from an
other paper, it had a conspicuous place in the
editorial columns of the Examiner,' and, of
course, expressed Mr. Darlington's sentiments
at that time—a little over four months ago.—
plow, however, he seems to think differently,
/ an d is willing to labor with and for a party
that is "sectional" in thought, word and deed,
and whose leaders are boldly and avowedly in
favor of a dissolution of the Union unless they
are permitted to accomplish their selfish ends
in their own way. A party that virtually dis
franchises fifteen sovereign States of our glo
riOUß Union, and would make them hewers of
wood and drawers Of water to one section of
the Confederacy!
The record looks ugly for Our neighbor, but
his sudden and unaccountable conversion to
Black Republicanism renders an exposure ne
cessary. We have only commenced examin
ing-the books. We have much stronger evi
dence of his inconsistency in store, the pro
ducting of his own pen, which will be forth
coming in due season.
More Consistency
The Lancaster Examiner of the 11th of
June last, (only four weeks ago,)concludes an
editorial on the subject of the Presidency as
follows:
"Whilst, therefore, in no way abating our
desire that the sober conclusions of the people
in November next will indicate Mr. Fillmore
as the man most especially fitted by experi
ence, by character, and by political profession
to take charge of the government for the next
four rears, we know no reason to omit an ex
pression of satisfaction, that if another Demo
cratic President is to be elected Mr. Buchanan
will be the man,"
Political Sermons
Quite an excitement occurred in the Church
of the Epiphany, Philadelphia, on Sunday
evening a week, during a sermon delivered by
the Rector, Rev. Dudley A. Tyng—subject
"Our Country's Troubles." The scene was
but a natural consequence of the reckless fa
naticism which is now agitating and dividing
the country, and the Church in geral, and.
which is doing more harm to the cause of true
religion than all the attacks of infidelity and
scepticism combined.
The announcement of the subject, in ad
vance, created more sensation than usual,
from the fact that the Episcopal denomina
tion, as a body, have always, and very prop
erly too, discountenanced the introduction of
such topics into the pulpit. The minister, as
we learn from the Philadelphia papers, hav
j selected a text, briefly gave his reasons for
introducing the subject into the pulpit, and
then proceeded to denounce the " outrage in
Kansas," and at Washington, the "aggres
sions of the slave power," the " miserable
truckling of the North to the South," the
"horrors of slave breeding," and other Black
Republican thunder, and concluded by urging
his congregation to exercise their rights as
freemen at the ballot box, in staying the pro
gress of the monster 'evil, and invoking aid
for the suffering emigrants in Kansas. Fi
nally, Dr. Casper Morris, formerly a church
warden, rose in his pew, and as one of the
original church-wardens, entered his solemn
protest against the desecration of the place
and the day by such services. At the com
mencement of the discourse several members
of the congregation left the Church; and at
the conclusion, those who remained gathered
in knots, to discuss the unusual event, some
few taking sides with the minister, but the
larger portion disapproving of his course as
uncalled for and unjustifiable. The whole
matter. is to be referred to - the Bishop of the
Diocese.
The Saviour of the world when upon earth
preached peace and good will amongst men—
I and the theme of the early Christian minis
ters was "Christ and him crucified." They
all inculcated obedience to law. Their mis
sion was one of peace—not discord. They
exhorted masters to be kind to their servants,
and servants to be obedient to their masters.
In short, the kingdom of Christmas proclaim
ed to be not of this world, and therefore they
interfered not with the governments or laws
under which they lived, but cheerfully "ren
dered unto Cesar the things that were Cesar's."
Many of the clergy, however, of the nine
teenth century profess to be wise above what
is written for their guidance by the Saviour
and his Apostles ; they are not content with
discharging the proper functions appertaining
to their high and holy office, (and some of
them do that in a half-hearted way,) but they
must needs desecrate the sacred desk by in
troducing politics into the pulpit, and indul
ging in violent philipics against distinguished
statesmen of the country whose honesty and
patriotism (and probably piety too,) are, to,
say the least, quite equal to their own.
It is high time a stop Was put to these
political harangues from the pulpit—and a
minister who indulges in them ought to be
branded as an imposter, and as totally unwor
thy the confidence of a christian community.
I We:are no advocate of Lynch Law, but, at the
same time, we think a coat of tar and feathers
would do no harm if gently put on some of
these "wolves in sheeps' clothing." •
In striking contrast with the above. we
publish with pleasure the following article
from a Richmond paper:
AN APPEAL FOR FORBEARANCE. •
The clergymen of Richmond have issued an
appeal to the ultras of all sections of the coun
try, in which they urge moderation and for
bearance, and hold this language :
Let us sedulously avoid every word and
deed which can tend to increase the public
excitement and irritation. Let us give no
countenance to lawless violence, whether in
low or high places. Let us seek by every
practicable method to strengthen and brighten
the bond of fraternal union, which should em
brace every citizen of our favored States and
Territories. And above all let Christians fer
vently pray to the Father of light for his bles
sing on our rulers—that they may be wise,
firm, conciliating and patriotic; for our peo
ple—that they may be peaceable, prosperous
and happy. We are called individually to
self examination, the confessions of our sins,
penitence, and a reformation of our lives; and
by these methods, far more readily than by
fierce discussion, we avert the dangers which
are impending on our 'beloved land. And
now we entreat you by every consideration of
patriotism and piety—by the memories of ou r
fathers—by the illustrious deeds of Bunker
Hill and Yorktown—by the history of the past
—by the millions, living and unborn, whose
welfare depends on the preservation of the
Union—and especially by our religious pros
perity, so greatly increased under our
excellent government, to " follow the things
which make for peace."
=1=TI!!
The people of the United States will have
to decide on the 4th of November next, wheth
er the thirty-one States of this Union are to
remain united, happy and free, each Common
wealth sovereign within itself, having the
Constitutional right to regulate its own do
mestic affairs in its own way. Or whether the
Union is to be severed and this great Confed
eracy of States broken tip, disjointed and bel
ligerant—a prey to anarchy, confusion, civil
war and all its direful consequences.
To show the state of 'Things which will be
the inevitable result, either one way or the
other, of the ensuing Presidential election, we
cannot du better than quote DANIEL WEB
STER'S beautiful peroration to liberty and
Union, in his celebrated reply to Mr. liayne,
of South Carolina, delivered in the U. S. Sen
ate more than five and twenty-years ago. He
conclUded his great speech thus:
" When my eyes shall be turned to behold,
for the last time, the sun in theheavens, may I
not see him shining on the broken and dishon
ored fragments of a once glorious Union ; on
States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a
land rent With civil feuds, or drenched, it may
be, in fraternal blood ! Let their last feeble
and lingering glance, rather behold the gor
geous ensign of the republic, now known and
honored throughout the earth, still full high
advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in
their original lustre, not a stripe ers,sed or
polluted, not a single star obscured, bearing
for its motto no such miserable interrogatory
as, What is all this worth? Nor those other
words .of delusion and folly, Liberty first, and
Union afterwards: but every where, spread
all over in characters of living light, blazing
on all its ample folds, as they float over the
sea andover theland, and in every wind under
the whole heavens, that other sentiment, dear
to every true American heart—Liberty and
Union, now and forever, one and inseparable !"
xiiiif• The passage of Mr. Douglas' bill in
the Senate, admitting Kansas as a State,
which is so just and fair in all its provisions,
has taken the Black Republicans all aback—
and they are now scheming in every possible
way toprevent itbecoming alaw. Hence their
passage of the bill in thE House, admitting
Kansas under the illegal and unconstitutional
Topeka Convention Constitution. As this last
bill can never pass the Senate, and ought not
to do so, and is not intended by its authors to
become a law, these Blackßepublicans hope to
be able to keep'up the excitement in the;public
mind until the Presidential election. After
the 4th of November nest, eve shall hear noth
ing more of Kaiisas troubles and outrages.

The Admission of Kansas
Mr. DOUGLAS, from the Committee on Ter
ritories, to ahich was referred the variou s
bills relative to affairs in Kansas, made a vo
luminous report on the subject, on Monday
the 30th ult. It contains an elaborate argu
ment in favor of the new bill accompanying
the report, which provides for the appointment
of five Commissioners to be selected [by the
President] from five different sections of the
Union, to represent fairly all political parties.
They shall take a census of all the legal vo.
ters, in the Territory, and make a fair appor
tionment of delegates to be elected by each
county to form a constitution and institute a
State government. When the appointment
shall be made the Commissioners are to re-
main in session every day, except Sunday, at
the place most convenient for the inhabitants
of said Territory, to hear all complaints, ex
amine witnesses, and correct all errors in said
list of voters, which list shall be previously
printed and generally circulated through the
Territory, and posted in at least three of the
most public places of each election district :
and so soon as all the errors have been cor
rected in said lists, the commissioners are
requested to cause a corrected list of the legal
voters to be printed, and copies furnished to
each Judge of Election, to be put up at the
places of voting, and circulated in every coun
ty in the territory before the day of election
—no person to be allowed to vote whose name
does not appear on the list as a legal voter;
the election fur delegates to take place on the
day of the Presidential election, and the con
vention to assemble on the first Monday in
December to decide, first, whether it be expe
dient for Kansas to come into the Union at
that time, and if so decided, to proceed to form
a Constitution and State government; which
shall be of republican form. Kansas then to
be admitted under such constitution on an
equal footing with the original States. The
bill provides further, that no law shall be en
forced in the Territory infringing the liberty
of speech, or of the Press, or the right of the
people to hear arms, &e. It also provides
punishment for illegal voting, or fraud and vio
lence at elections, and authorizes the use of
the military for that purpose. The main point
is, that the persons designated by the census
as the present inhabitants of the Territory,
shall decide all points in dispute at a fair elec
tion, without fraud or violence, or any other
improper influence. All the white male in
habitants over twenty one years of age are to
be allowed to vote, if they have resided in the
Territory three months previous to the day of
election, and no other test shall be requf7eu
no oath to support the Fugitive Slave Law or
any other law, ur any other condition what
ever.
micatrztEm
The above-mentioned bill, for the admission
of Kansas into the Union as a State, passed
the Senate finally, on Thursday morning, by
a vote of 30 to 11, as follows :
Yeas—Messrs. Allen, Bayard, Bell, (Tenn.)
Benjamin, Biggs, Bigler, Bright. Brodhead,
Brown, Cass,Clay, Crittenden, Douglas, Hun
ter, Iverson, Johnson, Jones, (lowa,) Mallory,
Pratt, Pugh, Reid, Sebastian, Slidell, Stuart,
Thompson, Ky.,) Toombs, 'l'oucey,
Wright and Yulee.
Nays—Messrs. Bell, (N. H.) Collamer,
Dodge, Darkee, Fessenden, Foot, Foster, Hale,
Seward, Trumbull and Wade.
On motion of Gen. Cass, 10,000 copies of
the bill were ordered to be printed for the use
of the House.
The belief is that the bill will also pass the
House of Representatives, but after a hard
fight. If so, the last prop of the Black Re
publicans will be taken from under them, and.
we shall hear no more of the "border • ruffi
ans." &e.
Who hi John C. Fremont
A very pertinent question, to be sure, at
the present time, when he is aspiring to a
seat in the chair of State once occupied by a
Washington, an Adams, a Jefferson and a
Jackson. The Albany Tranm•rirt answers
the question after this wise:
" Wu° is FREMONT ?-A great man, no
doubt, at least his friends would have us think
so. As a hunter and a trapper, he acquired
quite a reputation, but in no other point does
he excel. This young Lieutenant is not
known, even for any military exploit, and on
ly known as being a Rocky Mountain trapper.
The Lieutenant, because of his command
ing, not successfully even, a small corps in the
West, was breveted a Colonel—and then he
begun life by being court-martialled and dis
missed from the army for insubordination.—
One of his earliest exploits in social life, was
to run away with and marry Senator Benton's
daughter—against the consent of both father
and mother—and his earliest exploit in public
life led to his being court-martialled by offi
cers of the U. S. Army, on the testimony of as
high a minded man as ever lived, (Gen. Kear
ney) and to his being convicted of insubordi
nation. This young man, thus insubordinate
both in social and public life, is selected over
the head of such a Jurist and Statesman as
Judge McLean, to head the purest party in
the North, in a war upon fifteen States of our
Union !—and we are invited to confide to him,
who has not been able to govern himself, as a
man or as a soldier, the Chief Magistracy of
thirty-one States of our Union. We did not
think the thing possible—but all things are
possible for New York Sewardism, when it
can bleed candidates.
I=l
As Mr. Darlington alleges that the Black
Republican platform, upon which he now
stands aide by side with Stevens, Seward,
Greely, Chase, Giddings, Theophilus Fenn,
Alexander H. Hood, J. M. Willis Geist, Jos.
Ritner, etc., etc., is the identical Whig plat
form of this county and State fur the last fifteen
years—many of the readers of the Examiner
would like to know what has become of the
Tariff Question, which they were, from time
immemorial almost, taught to believe was one
of the planks. They would also like
~t o know
why it is that the Black Republican platform
has not a plank or even a splinter in it favor
able to the restoration of the Missouri Compro
mise line! There is something queer about
these omissions, to say the least of it, and the
Examiner will find it to be a troublesome mat
ter to satisfy the old line Whigs of Lancaster
county that the platforms are identical, or that
the omissions above alluded to are not a de
parture from what was advocated in the same
paper less than three months ago.
Surveyor General
A correspondent speaks in the strongest
terms of Major JOHN RowE, of Franklin co.,
in connexion with the nomination for Surey
or General, in place of Timothy Ives, Esq„
who declines the nomination. Major ll)we is
unquestionably a deserving man and a sound
Democrat, and should he be nominated and
elected will fill the office with ability and fi
delity. lie is in every respect well qualified
for the station, and is a gentleman of irre
proachable moral character.
COL WILLIAM T. ALEXANDER, of Clarion
County, will also be strongly urged for the
nomination. The Col. is a clever fellow, and
a first-rate Democrat—competent and deserv
ing—who has strong claims upon the party.
THE CRlSls.—Mesers. Hopkins and Brown,
of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, have
commenced the publication of a campaign pa
per with the above title. It is a spirited little
publication, and will doubtless do good ser
vice during the campaign.
mar The Old Line Whigs of _ Erie county.
Pa., had a gathering week before last, and
shook hands over a common resolve to support
BUCHANAN and Bascamunas.
Old Lino Whig* of Ohio
We note down from our exchanges another
goodly list of " Old Line Whigs" and other
opponents of the Democracy. who at the pres
ent time are rallying under the banner of the,
Union borne alone in this campaign by Bu-:
hatian and Breckenridge, and whose success
is necessary to its preservation. The last
number of the BeoOntaim Gazelle, pub
lished in Log.ah county in that State, comes to
us with the names of Buchanan and Breckin
ridge at its mast-head for President and Vice
President of the United States. The Gazette
has always been under the management of its
able editor, Mr. Hubbard, an old line Whig
sheet, and last fall it even snpported Chase
for Governor. From the Gazette's well written
article defining its position, we make the fol.
lowing extract:
'Mere is really but one. absorbing question
now before the people. In the solemn mag
nitude of its presence all others are hushed.
question is q
stion at last presented in a tangi
ble form. Shall the Union be preserved? or
shall the first step be taken toward the entire
disruption of the States of the Union by a
severance of the North from the South?—
Looking at the political aspect of the times.
with this question staring us in the face, we
make our choice of candidates. The nominees
of the Cincinnati Convention make the tires.
ervation of the Union the matter of permanent
interest. Other principles are advocated; but,
if any principles are to be compromised, all
of them may be subservient : lint " the Union
must be preserved."
On-the other hand, the preservation of the
Unions a minor and secondary principle with
those who have wet in convehtion under the
title of Republicans. With them the preser
vation of the Union is to be tolerated as a
matter of contingency. Mr Banks committed
the first overt of treason in declaring in the
halls of Congress that he was in favor of " let
ting the Union slide," unless a favorite crotchet
of his own and his associates could he indorsed.
While we profess to be guided by uur own
judgment in matters of political interest, it is
a source of pleasure- to us to know that our
opinions respecting the merits of the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates is not unique
among the members of the old Whig party.—
When men of such eminence and honesty
as Rufus Choate and Robert C Winthrop, not
to mention the scores upon scores of old and
tried Whigs of our acquaintance, and in this
vicinity, are coming out boldly for James Bu
chanan, we are satisfied that this is an occa
sion that demands an energetic expression of
every old line Whig who still loves his coun
try and race above all others.
Er-Governor. John Bigler
A s story has been going the rounds of the
pa , L t ...4w this gentleman had been notified
brace ';',San Francisco Vigilance Committee,
that he must not return to California.—
There is not a word of truth in the story.—
The Pennsylvanian of Wednesday last thus
disposes of the fabrication :
e are authorized by Gov. BIGLER himself
to pronounce the statement false and
Gov. BIGLER has been absent since the
sth of April, and has had no connection,
whatever, in the troubles in San Francisco.—
The absurdity of the whole affair is rendered
the more transparent from the fact, that Casey
and his associates, have ever been the most
bitter and unscrupulous enemies of Gov. BIG
LER. The paper which he published was filled
with the foulest abuse of that eminent gen
tleman. A New York paper says:
We are informed that there is no founda
tion for the reportpublished in a San Francis
co letter, that ex-Governor Bigler had been
requested not to return to California. There
is indeed n% reason for such request, and
hence its absurdity.
How Henry Clay Would Vote
The following is an extract of a speech de
livered by HENRY CLAY, delivered on the 19th
of November, 1850. It is peculiarly applica
ble at the present time, and we commend it
specially to our old line Whig friends in Lan
caster county who admired and revered that
great patriot and statesman, now that the
effort is being made, in a quarter least ex
pected, to sell them to this same "contempti
ble Abolition party. - Hear what he says:
"But if it (the Whig party) is to be merged
into a contemptible Abolition party, and if
Abolitionism, is to be engrafted on the Whig
creedrfrom that moment I renounce the party,
and cease to be a Whig. Igo yet a step far
ther : am alive I will give my whole sup
port far that man for the Presidency who, to
whaterer party he may belong, is not contami
nated by fanaticism rather than to one who,
crying out all the time lie is a Whig, maintaims
doctrines utterly snbrersive vg . the Constitution
and the Union.-
Does any man doubt that if Henry Clay
were still livin g , he would be found, as his
Whig friends in Kentucky and elsewhere gen
erally are, in favor of the election el JAMES
BUCHANAN—a statesman who is not "not con
taminated by fanaticism," and who maintains
doctrines in strict accordance with the teach
ings of the Constitution and the perpetuity of
the Union.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.—The
proposed amendments to the Constitution of
this Commonwealth, which were adopted by
the last Legislature, are published in the In
telligence,. to-day, by authority. A vote of the
people will be taken upon them at the October
election. If a majority is cast in their favor,
they will be referred to the next Legislature,
and if adopted by that body, they will then
become a part of the Constitution. These
amendments originated with Mr. Buckalew,
in the Senate, and a..., in the main, such as
every reflecting citizen would desire to see
incorporated into our fundamental law.
BERTHS IN CARS.—The Buffalo Car Compa
ny lately shipped a lot of cars for the Illinois
Central Railroad, which the Detroit Advertiser
says are far ahead of anything in their line
yet seen in the West. One of them contains
six state rooms, each room having two seats
with cushioned hacks, long enough for a per
son to lie upon. The hacks of the seats are
hung with hinges at the upper edge, so that
they may be turned up at pleasure, thus form
ing two single berths, one over the other,
where persons may sleep with all the comfort
imaginable. In one end of the car is a small
wash-room, with marble wash bowl, looking
glass, &c. On the opposite side of the car
from the state rooms is a row of seats with
revolving hacks, similar to barber's chairs, so
arranged that the occupant may sit straight
or recline iu an easy attitude at pleasure.—
The other five cars have each two or three
similar state rooms.
air The old line Whigs of Kentucky, in
State Convention assembled a few days ago,
rejected a resolution endorsing Mr. Fillmore,
by a majority of 16 districts to 2! It is well
understood that the old line Whigs of Ken
tiwky will go generikly for Mr. Buchanan.

Guards was had. Mr. Buchanan and other distinguished
gentlemen were there.
The city was the resort of large numbers of people from
the country, and abroad, who paid a visit here. The Fire
Companies were out in uniform and regalia and made a
beautiful appearance: andthel.oys, and "children of larger
growth" were busy firing crackers, pistols and all manner
of things that would make a noise or give a smell of pow
der. In this way the city was kept in a constant uproar
till late at night.

The Issue Between Black Republicanbc
and Constitutionalism
The St. Louis Republican,. formerly a Whig
paper, thinks that this is the involv
ed in the Presidential canvass, and u ponall
its old Whig supporters, and 'A ho could stand
by the Constitution, to support Mr. Buchanan
against the Black Republican email:in:it...li.
As an indication of the present tendencies
of the old hue W hig and couserva:it e elements,
we [mike the fonowing extract from an article
in toot paper -I the Pah ultimo
But, in our ypinam, it matters iffy little
witetlier new men -or " old men - appear
in opposition to Mr. Buchanan at the coming
-election. That gentleman will as assuredly
he elected President of the tinted States as
that the Republic survive:, the day of the elec
t' ii. A wise statesman, a conservative man,
a friend of the Chitin, lie will unite the votes
of ail those who love the Union. nu matter
what efforts may be made to eombine other
parties against him. The Democratic party
never beldre did so wise a thing as it has now
done, in the nomination of the favorite son of
Pennsylvania. His nomination and election
—aud the one will follow the other as certainly
as that night follows the day—will be hailed
et erywhere as the signal of deliverance from
agitating questions which haVe, for years,
convulsed the Union.
• ills election will disperse the Black Repub.
licans in every direction ; it will give repose
to the country ; it will blast forever the polit
ical aspirations of those who have wickedly
and designedly periled the Union of the States
rather than give up their chances of preferment
and offioe. A brighter day is dawning upon
us; and without giving up our principles or
our right of judgment iu all matters connect
ed with public affairs, we cannot forego the
opportunity, at this early stage of the canvass,
of urging upon our readers, and all those
who mahave placed confidence in us in day 4
that are passed, the propriety of espousing
the cause of Mr. Buchanan and of contributing
to his election, by all honorable means. As we
live, we believe that nothing short of success
in prostrating the Black Republican party in
this contest will save the Republic. There
will be, su far as practical results are concern
ed, no others in the field.
The choice is between Black Republicanism,
with all its hatred of the slave States, and of
our institutions, and all its disregard of laws
enatited in obedience to the commands of the
Constitution, on the one hand ; and the elec
tion of the nominee of the Democratic _party
—a man of mature years, of decided ability,
of pure morality, of tried statesmanship,
of true patriotism, and pledged to a strict
observance of all the demands of the Consti
tution. Kill of Black Republicanism now,
and it will never again have power to disturb
the tranquility of the country, put it to death
now, and no band of pestiferous politicians
will ever again arise to array one section of
the Union against the other—the Nor*
against the South, the East against the West,
making proclamation all over the country
that they care not how soon •` the Union may
Aide."
; ANOTHER TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN PHILA.
DELiffl lA.—T he Philadelphia papers of Wed
nesibly last contain accounts of another
appallitg, disaster that occurred at a wharf on
the Delaware, on TuesdaS evening last, by
which it appears that over one hundred per
sons, men, women and children, had, at an
early hour in the evening, gathered upon the
wharf at the foot of Reed street, belonging to
Merrick & Son, the well known machinists,
to enjoy the cool and refreshing breezes from
the Delaware, and while thus congregated, the
piers sustaining the wharf fell with a tremen
dous crash, which was distinctly heard at the
distance of several squares.
In an instant not less than a hundred per
sons were precipitated into the water others
were otherwise seriously injured. It is be
lieved that in consequence of. this lamentable
affair not less than twenty or thirty lives were
lost. The news spread with gyeat rapidity
throughout the neighborhood, in which the
persons who are in the habit of frequenting
this place, reside. Thousamts of people soon
repaired to the scene of the disaster, and the
utmost excitement prevailed up to the hour of
going to press. Twenty-five of those who had
been precipitated into the water, were rescued
by boats manned by the officers and crew from
on board the receiving ship Union, stationed
at the Navy Yard. About ten children .and
three women are known to have perished,
and several persons were badly injured.

[lnc lianas, among tlie Buckeyes.
NE6 PIIILADELI'IIiA, Ohio, June 24. 'O6.
MESOt, El.l,Flto:—Permit me 4o say,we have - nerei
known a nomination for the PreAdential chair received
with in much eclat, by the Anterictin people, IV that of the
Hon. 812 , 11.1 NAN, Of Pennsylvania. In every direc
tion. from the tear quarters of thi: United States, do we
hear the glad tidings of joy kwelling up from the
popular heart, and it is not too Much to assume that he
will be triumphantly elected to thd Presidency.
That such will be the result of the campaign upon which
we have now entered, 110 luxe, wlth CUMIIIOII senior, will
dare to pretend to doubt liar a moment. Indeed, we should
tint. wonder if Ito would carry ..v ry State in the Union,
save one or two. There is a perfect imam not only of the
Democratic party, but also among the old line Whigs from
one end of the United States to OM other. All minor JD
ferences seem metamorphosed into enthusiastic rejoicing.
We, in Ohio, rejoiced peyoud measure when it seas an
nounced that in the great. State Of New York the Demo
crats had once more united, and that they will cast a solid
vote for James Buchanan. He unites the North with the
South, as no other man could do tit this critical time; for,
excluding from all computation fanatics, who are always
welcome to vote, and who trill voth against hint, he seems
to have au equal number of frit-nth. in every noo k and cor
ner. And here, in Ohio, he has gained them not by com
promise, but by steadiness, by Iresty, by integrity, by
a
undisputed ability, tel unimpeac able moral and political
character.
I have, since Mr. Buchanan's nninination, took a stroll
through Tuscarawas, llohne4, Ctishoelon, Wayne, Stark
and Carroll counties. and I nseurejyou that mighty intlu•
eases are at work in James Bucharidn's favor which scarcely
admit of demonstration. These infinencee spring from the

Democrat and Chicago Pre.s are the most in . "-

they repudiated the Democr tic candidates and

that their darling ticket with defeated by the
Democrats by five hundmid majority. The
Chicago Times is the Demdcratic paper there,
and is hot for Buchanan an'tl Breckinridge.—
Here is another roarer that is going the rounds,
started by the Cin. Comme&cial :
"In this city four Ge man papers—two
dailies and two weeklies— ppose the nomina

Now that is a pretty sto . Last fall these

who did nut get one half o the German vote
of Hamilton county. Shame on such trickery.
