We offer the iNTELLItaZiCER & LANCASTE RUN to those who wish to take it during'the Presidential campaign upon which we have entered, for seventyjive cents in advance. The campaign proper will eud with the lot uf 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 then is necessary for every citizen. We shall give all the political 4 news of the day, and thus en deavor to place arguments in the reach of our friends who have to encounter the common enemy. Our St. Louis Correspondence We learn by the Sentinel-that some objec tion is made at Washington City, to the views expressed by our St. Louis correspondent last week, in reference to the unfortunate division of the Democratic party in Missouri. The paragraph to which objection has been taken, we are free to say does not express our on sentiments in relation to the dOiculties in dint State, nor do the writer's strictures on the action of the National Convention in reference to the question ; and even if we entertained a similar opinion with our correspondent, which we do not, sound policy would prevent us from en dorsing his views. But, we presume, it will not be contended by any that the mere publi cation, without note or comment, is an en dorsement of the writer's views by an Editor. This would be something new in newspaper publications. . The obnoxious paragraph, with some addi tional strictures in the same letter, were cross ed out by us, (rather an unusual liberty taken with a communication from a responsible source,) previous to handing it to the compos itor; but, somehow or other, through some strange mistake of the latter the para graph in question was put in type, con trary to our expectation, wish or in tention. At the time the proof was taken,lt so happened that we were busily engaged with several gentlemen who had called on business, and therefore directed one of the hands in the office to read it—supposing, of course, that every thing was right, except it might be, some typographical errors of no importance. This is a correct history of the why and wherefore it appeared in the Intelli gencer; and no one regretted more than the Editor, the appearance of the paragraph in print. In fact, we had intended noticing the matter this week, even had not our attention been called thereto by the Sentinel. We have studiously refrained from any 'meddlesome interference in the disputes amongst our Democratic friends in other States. The Benton and anti-Benton divis ions in Missouri both prOfess to go in heartily to the support of the Cincinnati nominees—so do the Hards and Softs of New York;—and it is not our business, nor should it be the busi ness of any Democratic paper, to seek to drive either from their support, and thereby en danger the election of our candidates in those States. In conclusion, we embrace this opportunity to remark, once for all, that, for any thing which appears in the Intelligencer, the Editor is alone responsible, and it is very unfair for our friends at Washington, or elsewhere, to throw the blame on Mr. BUCHANAN. The Sentinel was right in the declaration that Mr. B. had no knowledge of the communication in question—nor had he seen it at all, we will add, until ,his attention was called to it by that paper. More than this—Mr. BUCHANAN has had no previous knowledge of any article, editorial or otherwise, that has appeared in the Intelligencer for the last four years. We have not submitted any thing of the kind to his inspection during all that time; nor has he, at any time, in the seven years we have been in Lancaster, written for our columns, or dictated in any way as to what should or should not appear in the paper. We hope this brief statement of the case will be satisfactory to all concerned. The Calumnies Answered Last week we published a most thorough and triumphant vindication of Mr. BCCHAN AN against the " Ten Cent" slander. This week we put the clincher on the "Drop of Blood" falsehood. Having thus disposed of these stale, infamous and malignant stories of an unprincipled opposition, we shall cease to notice them any farther for the present. The refutation in both cases is so complete, that it would be a waste of time and an insult to the intelligence of our readers, to pay any more attention to that which every body in this community knows to be wickedly false and malicious. To Correspondents. Our friends who are in the habit of con trib uting to our columns must bear with us a little. We are overrun with communications at the present time, and have necessarily to dispose of em on the principle of " first come first served." We shall endeavor to find room for "Vox POPULI " in our next issue; but would suggest to our friend the propriety of abbre ' dating his communications in the future. 18. The " American Republican" of Sat urday last is quite spicy.. Ernole Jacob is doing good 'erica for Rummell and BRZCSINELDOE. The Examiner admits that Stevens, Seward, Giddings, Wilmot & Co., were on the right platform all along—but essays to justify its present affiliation with the-4e Black Republi can leaders, by saying that the only differ ence " between these gentlemen and the Ex aminer is simply one of degree, not of princi ple." We quote Mr. Darlington's own words, and right glad will his readers be to see him thus defining his position, although their "in tellectual scope" may possibly not be able to "comprehend" the difference 'twixt tweedle dum and tweedle-dee. Indeed, we should not wonder if they loUked upon the explanation of our wily friend as a distinction without a difference. Still, :the admission has been made that the Black Republican leaders were right, at least in principle, and, of course, his pre vious abuse of them was all wrong; and as "an honest confession is said to be good for the soul," we have no doubt the editor of the Examiner will now " breathe freer and deep er, " and sleep more soundly in the highly scented embrace of his abolition friends. But, can he persuade his old line Whig readers that white is black, and, per contra, that black is white. There's the rub, and it will require I all the ebon-shinned logic of which he is mas ter, to convince the good people of Lancaster I county that the negroes of the South are het i ter entitled to the protection of the govern ment than the white laborers of the North— for that is about the plain English of the Know-Nothing Black Republican argument of the present day. Wilson McCandle. The Conspiracy Progressing: The attempt of the Examiner to SELL the old line Whigs of this county to the Black Republicans is being carried on with unblush ing pertindcity. Secret circulars were recently issued at the instance of Messrs. Stevens, Darlington & Co., to such of the Whig County Committee as suited the purposes of the traffickers ; in obedience to which, some six or eight of the most pliable met in this city, on the 7th inst., and agreed to issue a call for the assembling of a County Convention on the 27th of August, to settle a full Fre mont and Dayton County ticket. In the res olution and call issued, none but those who are friendly to the Black Republican nominees for President and Vice President, are invited to participate—consequently, all the old line Whigs and Know-Nothings who cannot be, forced, with abject submission, to bow the knee to this new image of Baal, set up in our midst by Messrs.' Stevens, Dickey, Darlington, Fenn, Geist and Co., are to be forthwith ex communicated from the pale of the party, without the benefit of clergy, and no longer recognized as Whigs of the Old Guard. The bargain being thus completed between this band of conspirators, nothing remains for the old line Whigs of Lancaster County but to bow their necks to the yoke and ratify the contract ; or rebel, like independent men, against their self-constituted dictators and mas ters, and aid the Democracy in "crushing out" these contemptible factionists and disunion ists, who would sell their party and their country for a mess of pottage. Scraps for the benefit of Know-Nothings I.kir The Black Republicans (or rather the Examiner for its new friends,) have called Delegate Elections for the 23d of August, and a Cuunty Convention ou the 27th of the same month, for the purpose of settling a County Ticket. None but "the friends of FREMONT and DAYTON" are invited to participate !—con sequently the call un-churches the friends of Fillmore and Donelsun. Will our Know-Noth ing friends see to it in time, M. the Black Republicans will get ahead of them. rear The Examiner says the sole reason why it opposed Mr. Nicholson's election for the office of Canal Commissioner, last fall, "was the fact of his being a Know-Nothing." That paper could have swallowed his Black Repub lican sentiments, woolly-headism and all, without the least turning of the stomach—bat his Know-Nothingism was too nauseating for the editor's tender stomach ! Well, well— every one to his taste—and if ebon shins and woolly heads are more congenial to the stom ach and olfactories of our neighbor than any thing else, of course wo have no objection.— But, we apprehend, " a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," and we only notice the taste of our amiable contemporary, so as to show his deep-seated hostility to the "American" wing of the party opposed to the Democracy. Will the Examiner be kind enough tore-publish its article, of last fall, an nouncing the nomination of Mr. Nicholson. But the Intelligence,- goes on to say that if Henry Clay were living he.would be found in favor of the election of James Buchanan.— Can the Intelligencer find one word, one syl lable, in all his long and illustrious career which gives the slightest color to such a charge. We defy it to produce one !—Examiner & Herald. Not so fast, Mr. Examiner. We shall pro duce two paragraphs from Mr. CLAY'S speech es (and more than these can he produced if it were necessary) which give not only a slight, but a strong color to such a charge.— Here they are: On the 19th of November, 1850, he said: "But if it (the Whig party) is to he merged into a contemptible Abolition party, and if Abolitionism is to be engrafted on the Whig creed, from that moment I renounce the party, and cease to be a Whig. Igo yet a step far ther : If lam alive I will give my whole sup port for that man for the Presidency who, to whatever party he may belong, is not contami nated by fanaticism, rather than to one who, crying out all the time he is a Whig, maintains doctrines utterly subversive of the Constitution and the L'ition. And again Mr. CLAY sai': "Whenever the Whig party shall become merged into a miserable sectional Abolition party, /will renounce it forever, and in future act with that party, regardless of its name, which stands by the Constitution and the Union." Are these expressions of the deceased states man not sufficient to satisfy every body of the truth of our declaration, that if Mr. CLAY were now living he would be found advoca ting the election of JAMES BL7CHANAN ! We question whether even the Examiner will have the hardihood to doubt it any longer." te... The Whig (or, more properly speaking, Know-Nothing) State Convention of Mary land met at Baltimore, on Thursday last, and endorsed the nomination of MILLARD FILEMORE for the Presidency. They also passed the following resolution : That they regard Col. Fremont as unquali fied to perform the duties of President, and the platform of the Republican party as Anti- Republican, unconstitutional and fanatical, calculated to foment discord, increase sectional agitation, leading to civil war and disunion, and entirely repudiate them as unworthy the support of the National Whigs of Maryland. late' The " STARS AND STRIPES " is the title of a neat little campaign paper just started in Harrisburg, at the suggestion of the State Convention, by Messrs. Omit, Orth & Weaver. The first number gives evidence of tact and ability, and we doubt not it will he a useful auxiliary during the campaign. Two weeks ago the Independent Whig of this City raised the names of FREMONT and DAYTON to its mast head, and started out val iantly in their advocacy. Last week it took down the flag again, and is now sailing with masked colors ! This is strange, to say the least of it. Wonder what can be the matter in the wigwam ? An Honest Confession! What's the Matter I Letter from CaL John W. Forney. The following letter from Col. John W. For ney, Chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee, was addressed to the Democ racy of Pittsburgh, on the occasion of their celebration of oar National Anniversary. Its sentiments are so admirable, and its advice so sound, with reference to the work to be done, and the necessity of a thorough organization, as to commend it to the attention of every Democrat in the State. Every Democrat has a work to perform, and that work should be done instantly, fully and faithfully: LA.Ncesrza, June 28, 1856. GENTLEMEN: - I regret that circumstances will prevent me from accepting your polite invitation for the coming 4th of July. My engagements for the day are such that I must forego the; pleasure of meeting you. Another occasion will offer, I hope, before the campaign is over. But I make free to say to you, fellow Dem ocrats, that bright as our prospects are, emi nent and worthy as our candidates are, our duty as working Democrats must still be faith fully discharged. We must be as vigilant as if there was danger of defeat. We must be as active as if our toe were as formidable as he pretends to be. The citadel that is prepared for attack is abundantly defended. Our adversaries in Pennsylvania have uni— ted upon a single State ticket. The tripartite I treaty between Know Nothingism, Abolition and disappointed politicians, is based upon the hope of being able to surprise the Democ racy in October next. Let us be ready for them. A bold and gallant demonstration at the State election, on our part, will make the November contest a gala da , instead of a struggle. The issue between the Democracy and its antagonists is a plain issue. Abolition has often before threatened to dissolve the Union. Its threats have as often been disregarded and scorned. But now, swollen with pride and passion, and inflated with the idea that it has fully poisoned the public mind against the Constitution—now it boldly nominates its candidates for the North alone, and boldly repudiates the votes of fifteen sovereign States of this Union ! Our foes appeal to the people for only half a country ! They ask votes fur a section and a fragment of the Republic ! No 1 Southern man can touch their candidate with out pollution. No electoral ticket for these candidates will be printed save in the North. They thus seek to dissolve the Union in ad vance, and arrogantly claim ascendency in a government which their success would entirely annihilate. T his is the mission of our enemies ! WHAT IS OURS? Ours is to preserve the blessings which God and our fathers have secured to us—to extend these blessings—and to perpetuate them, if we can, so that all the children of man may share them, and enjoy them. Ours is to stand up as the champions of the Union, and to sur round the Constitution with a fortress of free hearts. It is upon this enduring basis that the De mocracy take their stand. It is upon this firm foundation that we have fastened our flag.— It is from this holy platform that we proclaim our principles, and endorse our candidates. I am, very truly, your fellow Democrat, J. W. FORNEY. Prophecy of Henry Clay We have not hesitated to deprecate the dan gerous attitude which Black Republicanism has assumed in its nomination of sectional candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres idency of the United States. That the Union is in danger at the present time, we think is indisputable. The danger perhaps does not consist so much in selecting candidates from this or thtit section of the Confederacy, as in the fact that Messrs. Fremont and Dayton are placed in nomination by one section alone, and, if elected, will be chosen by that section —the other being entirely excluded from any participation in the government, and, of course, virtually expelled from the Union.— The great danger at the present time lies in pitting candidates against each other, as cham pions of repugnant sectional views of the constitutional rights of the States under the Federal Administration. This was the evil which Henry Clay dreaded, and which, with his remarkable prescience, he predicted more than seventeen years ago. In a speech deliv ered by him in the U. S. Senate, in February, 1839, he uttered the following words of warn- lug : "Sir," said Mr. Clay, "1 am not in the habit of speaking lightly of the possibility of dissolving this happy Union. The Senate know that I have deprecated allusions, cn or dinary occasions, to that direful event. The country will testify that, if there be anything in the history of my pub lic career worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sincer ity of my ardent devotion to its lasting pres,irvation. But we should be false in our allegiance to it, if we did not discriminate between the imaginary and real dangers by which It may Le assailed. Abolitionism should no longer be regarded as an imaginary danger. The Abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free States as one man against the In habitants of the slave States. Union on one side will be get union on the other, and this process of reciprocal con solidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions, and implacable animosities which ever degraded or deformed human nature. - 1 * One section will stand in menacing, and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will he quickly followed by the clash of arms. I will not attempt to de scribe scenes which now happily lie concealed from our view. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dis may and horror at the contemplation of desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the over throw of the fairest fabric of human goverment that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man." Rev. Henry Slicer We have read with unalloyed pleasure the speech of this distinguished , Divine, delivered on the floor of the General Conference of the M. E. Church, recently held at Indianopolis, on the "subject of the proposed change in the Methodist Discipline, making Non-Slavehold ing a Test or Condition Church Member ship." It is almost needless to add that Mr. S. op posed this attempted innovation upon the Constitution and practice of the Church.— After arguing the subject with great ability and in a truly Christian spirit, he said :—"lf it were possible to pass the measure now be fore us—you might make a sectional Church —you might chafe and weaken the bonds of the Union, but no good could be achieved for the master or the slave, and no advance step taken for emancipation." Again:—"The people which I, in part, represent, ask for no change—All they ask is peace and quiet, and to be let alone. They have and love the Discipline, and in the sight and fear of God, they will do the best they can to fulfil, for the bond and free, the great mission of Methodism, 'to spread Scriptural holiness all over these lands.' " : The attempt to change the Discipline, on the subject of Slavery, was, very properly, defeated in the General Conference. TRANSFER OF THE WHIG PARTY,—The Whig County Committee, with E. C. Darlington, Esq., & Co., at its head, have transferred the whole Whig party over to the "Free Soil," alias "Abolition," alias "Black Republican," alias "Woolly Head " party !! ! They have forsaken their old and tried Whig friend, MILLARD FILLMORE, and have made a complete soraerset, clear over into " Black Republican ism !! ! What think you of this, old line Whigs? Will you suffer yourselves to be sold and iransfered like Slaves? We trust not.— We hope that you will exercise your own opinion, in regard to this matter, and not suf fer yourselves to be led by the nose. by any one.--American Republican, (Whig.) Mk... MARTIN VAN BUREN, ex-President of the U. States, is out in a strong letter endor sing the Cincinnati nominations, and earnest ly advocating the election of BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE. ACCEPTANCE OF Ma. BRECHINRIDGE.—The Hon. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE has accepted the Democratic nomination for the Vice Presi dency. In his letter he says, "It will be the destiny of the Democracy, under the lead of their distinguished chief, to maintain the high position of our country before the world—to preserve the equality of every class of citizens —to protect the perfect liberty of conscience —and to secure the peace of the Union, by rendering equal justice to every part." The " Drop-of Blood' , Colunssiy Exposed. Among the stale, miserable slanders urged by the opposition against James Buchanan, is the charge of having said on a public occa sion, more than a third of a century ago, " if head a drop of Democratic blood in his veins he would let it out." Thin falsehood originated in 1828; when Mr. Buchanan was a candidate for Congress as a Jackson Democrat. The charge was re vived a few years afterwards when Mr. Bn chanan came forward with the characteristic straightforwardness and frankness of his tia- , ture, and denounced it as an unmitigated cal- i umny. We copy below, from old the Harrisburg Re porter the following complete refutation of this slander, which we trust will have a coun-1 try-wide circulation, so that nu one can con-( veniently repeat it without knowingly spread_ ing a wilful and malignant falsehood : ,From the Harrisburg Reporter., We observe by the report of Congressional proceedings, in the National IntelliganCer of March 30th, that on the previous Friday eve ning our Senator Buchanan was assailed by Mr. Morgan of New York, and Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania, upon the floor of the House of Representatives, with the charge of once hav ing said, in a 4th-of-July oration, "that if he thought he had one drop of Democratic blood in his veins he would let it out." This charge was pr)mptly contradicted by. Mr. Ramsey and General lieim, of 'the Pennsylvania dale , gatiou. It is not our intention at present to make any comments upon this ridiculous story, which first originated in 1828, immediately preceding Mr. Buchanan's fifth election to Congress, but merely to re-publish a letter of that gentleman to the editor of the " Pennsyl vania Inquirer and Courier," dated February 27, 1838, contradicting the charge so explicit ly and unequivocally as to silence the slander, it was supposed forever. This letter was elic ited by a similar charge, made in debate by Mr. Cox, a member of the Convention for amending the Constitution of Pennsylvania, in May, 1837. It was then promptly repelled before the Convention by the present Judge Porter and Emanuel C. Reigart, both mem bers of that body—the first a prominent Dem ocrat, and the other one of the anti-Masonic party in Pennsylvania. Had this sentiment, or anything like it, ever been uttered by Mr. Buchanan at a "political meeting in the court house in Lancaster," these two gentlemen, from their position and character, must either have heard it themselves, orimmediately heard it from others; both of them being residents of that city when it was alleged to have been ut tered, and Mr. Reigart having resided there ever since. The charge would have specially attracted public attention at that time, as Mr. Buchanan was a successful candidate for the State Legislature both in October, 1814, and in October. 1815. Mr. Cox, not satisfied with the contradic tion of Mr. Porter and Mr. Reigart, endeav ored to obtain proof of the charge, and renew ed, in a letter to the editor of the "Pennsyl vania Inquirer and Courier," dated February 24, and published in that paper of February 26,1838, the testimony which he then adduced in support of it, and all which could be col lected after a laborious search consisted of the certificate of a certain Anthony McGlinn, and an extract of a letter from George Ford, Jr., both of which, it will be perceived, are refer red to in the following letter of Mr. Buchan— an : To the Editor of the Pennsylvania Inquirer and Courier: WesnrsoTos, Feb. 27, 1838. SIR: 1 have this moment perused the letter of J. F. Cox, published in yesterday's Inquir er. His late official station, as a member of the convention, induces me to notice the slan der which he again repeats, and which I now pronounce to be utterly and absolutely false, no matter from what source itmay have proceeded, or shall proceed. I never did, upon any occa sion, public or private, whether at the court house in Lancaster, or elsewhere, declare that "if I knew I had a drop of democratic blood in•my veins I would let it out," or any words to that effect. This ridiculous story is without a shadow of foundation. The first version of the story was, that I had used the expression in an oration which I had delivered at the court-house in Lancaster, on the 4th of July, 1815. The oration itself disproved this assertion and then, after Mr. Cox had made it a subject of debate, before the reform convention, in May last, one of the papers at Harrisburg, solemnly announced that the expression had been Used by me on the floor of the House of Representatives, in this city, in reply to Governor Floyd, of Vir ginia, and that it could be proved by a gentle man who had formerly been a Democratic rep resentative in Congress from Pennsylvania.— The scene is now again shifted to the court house in Lancaster, and a certain Anthony McGlinn is the witness. He states that "a number of years ago, one evening," whilst I was addressing a political meeting there as sembled, he had heard me use the expression already stated, "in an emphatic manner, with my right hand elevated above my head." He does not state the year when this expression was used, nor the name of any other person who was present at the meeting. It does not seem to have occurred to Mr. Cox, that if I had uttered such a sentiment as that attributed to me in the court-house at. Lancaster, it would have been heard by hun dreds of people; that it would immediately have become the subject of universal remark and universal condemnation, and that it would have been severely and justly commented upon in the newspapers of the day. Had it been true there would have been no occasion to re sort to Anthony McGlinn to prove the charge, nor to a conversation alleged by Mr. Ford to have been held with Mr. Peter Shindel, who, although a respectable, is an aged man; and from a defect of memory, incident to that pe riod of life, must have confounded what may have been stated to him by others with what he had heard himself. But, I again repeat, no matter who has been or shall be the wit• ness, the tale is utterly and absolutely false. Shortly after the slander was made a sub ject of debate by Mr. Cox, in the reform con— vention, a number of the oldest and most re spectable citizens of Lancaster, without dis tinction of party, signed a certificate dispro ving the charge, so far as it was possible for a negative to be proved, which was placed and still remains in the hands of one of my friends. After what had been said in reply to Mr. Cox by Mr. Porter and Mr. Reigart, who must either have heard the expression, had it been used, or heard of it immediately after, I deemed it wholly unnecessary then to publish this certificate. Yours, very respectfully, JAMES BUCHANAN. The following is the certificate alluded to by Mr. BUCHANAN, in the closing paragraph of his letter. In giving it publicity, we will boldly assert that the thirty subscribers to it are (or were, for some of them are now decea sed,) gentlemenof as much moral worth and re spectability of character, in every respect, as could be found amongst the same number of individuals in any other community in the United States; and, we venture to say farther, that 710 respectable man in Pennsylvania, of any political party, believes that there is a word of truth in the base and malignant slander against Mr. BUCHANAN. The infamous scoun drels who are now circulating the story know it to be false—hence they attempt to bolster it up with witnesses of their own stamp, with the certificate of a man so notorious in the community that nobody here would believe him on his oath, aided and abetted by another who is now a fitgitive from justice inn foreign land. But to the certificate : IMMIEVETI Several of the undersigned have known Mr. Buchanan ever since he first came to Lancas tor to study law, with the late Jas. Hopkins, and the others for many years past. W e are all convinced that if at a public meeting at the court-house, or any-where else in this city, he had ever used such an expression, or any thing likeit, as that which has been attribu ted to him by Mr. Cox in the Convention—to wit—"that he thanked his God he had not a drop of Democratic blood in his veins, and if he had he would let it out"—some of us would have heard it, and all of us would have heard of it, and it must have become a subject of general conversation throughout Lancaster.— To the best of our knowledge it never was mentioned by any person until the year 1828, immediately before Mr. Buchanan's last elec tion to Congress, on the Democratic Jackson ticket. As this election immediately prece— ded General Jackson's first election to the Presidency, (in November, 1828,) and'as Mr. Buchanan had been for several years previ ously his ardent and active supporter, he was then opposed with touch zeal and bitterness. Ever since we first heard this story, refer red back as it did to 1815, we have always be lieved, and still believe, that it was got up without any foundation in fact, fur the purpose of operating against Mr. Buchanan's election to Congress in 1828.. Indeed, we have never supposed that any person acquainted with his character could believe that at any period of life he would have made such. a declaration as now seems to be seriously imputed to him.

Au Eloquent Extract We clip the following truly eloquent extract from a speech delivered by CHARLES W. CAR RIGAN, Esq., at the Democratic celebration of the Fourth in Philadelphia. The extract from General Washington's Farewell Address to the People of the United States, which we have italicised, will strike every reader's mind with peculiar force at this time, in view of the attempt made by the Black Republicans to bring about the very state of things so ear nestly and forcibly deprecated by the Father of his country. Mr. Carrigan said : There is another point in Washington's farewell address that this day and this time brings forcibly to mind. He seems to have forseen that men would arise in our history whose whole aim in life would be, to dissolve the glorious fabric our fathers erected. Hence he says—"lt is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the value of your Na tional Union, to your individual and collective happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immoveable attachment to it—ac customing yourselves to think and speak of it as the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with zealous anxiety. discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of any attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties that now link together the various parts." What mighty import in these few lines ! How applicable to times past! How much more applicable now.— Look around and you behold a convention of a section of this confederacy ignoring the ex istence of fifteen States ; with one swoop declaring that thirty-one States- shall be gov erned by the mandates issued by traitors anx ious to erect on the ruins of the Union a Northern Republic. Now, Sir, I hold this to be "self evident," that when a man or set of men, take part in the franchises, attaching to citizens of this confederated republic, they hold themselves bound to observe and carry out its constitutional obligations. The accep tance of the benefits it offers is proof they owe allegiance to its teachings, and when, after enjoying its blessings, they set up fOr them selves a higher law than the Constitution, they are guilty of treason. [Great applause.] I can call it by no milder name—no other word in the English language can express the full extent of their baseness. True, sir, it does not come within the scope of punishable trea son, because the Constitution declares it must be overt, but strike out overt and insert moral, and you could not find in Pennsylvania wood enough to make uprights and cross pieces for these moral malifactors. Sir, we say to our brethren in the South that there is power enough in the North to strangle this treason. We are not the contracted, selfish people these Black Republicans would make us. While we take Maine in our right arm we take Tex as in our left, giving the South the place next to our hearts. We know no section—we love the whole country—we count 31 stars in our flag, not 16. We stand by the Constitution as our fathers understood it, and will preserve all its sacred provisions unimpaired and un tarnished. (Immense applause) But say some, the higher law fanatics say they will carry the North. We deny this. We defy them to the battle. We stand upon the organic law that created us as one people, and throw down the - gauntlet to this " home treason." IfVe laugh at the traitorous machinations of the Know Nothing party, the murderous advocates of Sharp's rifles, and the harmless anathemas hurled from desecrated pulpits by religious bigots. (Prolonged cheering.) We of the North do not desire to look upon Mount Ver non, Monticello, the Hermitage and Ashland as foreign ground. No !No around them the holiest recollections cluster. Our hearts are even now in those sacred graves. We cherish and venerate thoSe Union loving men, whose dust consecrate their resting places, and we mock at the treason of those who would rob us of our interest in those holy spots.— They cannot do it, and they shall not do it.— (Tremendous cheering) On this, the Natal day of our Republic, comes a voice from the patriotic dead— -Up, theyleay and keep the freedom Which we won you long ago, Up! and keep our graves unsullied From the insults of the foe And we here to-day, " pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors," to maintain inviolate the heritage our fathers left us.— (Long applause.) Sir, in times past, men calculated the value of this Union, but they were tortured upon the rack of public opinion untill there was pot a whole bone left in their bodies. Their fate should be a warning to the traitors of the pres ent day. However much they may want a " contingency to let the Union slide"—we say there can be no such contingency. Fremont may have crossed the Rocky Mountains in the tracks of buffalos—but our standard bearer, James Buchanan, has crossed the Rocky Mountains of a relentless fanaticism, with the Constitution on his back, and now stands be fore the country as the incarnation of devotion to the whole Union. - The claims these men set up are not among the least astonishing of their unmeaning bra,. vado. They call themselves the " friends of freedom," while they ruthlessly crucify liberty between the two thieves of Abolitionism and Religious Intolerance, and then cast lots for her garments. They sigh for the " purer days of the republic," while Appius Claudius like, they strike down all political virtue that stands between them and their ungovernable passions. They profess to be the " champions of justice," while they strike their country in the " mother pangs of struggling child-birth, and drive the dagger to freedom's infant throat:" They are not the friends of freedom —they sigh not for the purer days of the re public—they are not the champions of justice. From their hideouS features we lift the flashing veil and expose to the world the political Thugs of the Republic. In conclusion, sir, amid all the desponden cies of the times, I am one of those who believe that this Union can never be severed. There is too much of the leaven of genuine patriotism in its composition. It defies all attack. It knows not seems—it is. It is not a thing of shreds and patches ; its garments are whole and undefiled. Its form is not made up of the cast off rags of dead despotisms; it stands forth an Appollo Belvidere, challenging the admira tion of the world. le has a head to think, a heart :to feel, and muscles to work. It is in the people, of the people, and for the people. It is not for this time, but for all time. It is rock, not sand. It is a diamond, not a pol ished pebble. "It is iron blistered into steel —it is wine from the trodden grape." This is our Union, this the hope of the world. It was the result of mutual trials and mutual concessions, and carried out in the same spirit, it becomes the Malakoff that is impregnable, the Redan of liberty that can never he taken. (Tumultuous cheering.) "What God in I.l.lswisdom and mercy bath Joined, And armed with His weapons of thunder. Not all the earth's despots and factions combined. Have the power to conquer or sunder. The Union of lake%—the Union of lands— The Union of States none can sever; The Union of hearts, and the Union of hands. And the flag of our Union forever. Foreign presses may thunder their anathe mas, and paid Anglo-American papers cal culate the value of the Union—British wiles may tamper with our peace, and home-treason look bold ; but in the great battle between Conservatism and Fanaticism, one cause, one country and one heart will triumph, and itwill be the triumph of the UNION. - (Cheers, again and again.)

Speech Senator BIGLER was present by invitation at the celebration of the Fourth, by the Democ racy, in Independence Square, Philadelphia, and addressed the people with great power and effect—presenting and discussing all the political topics of the day, and holding the crowd for full two hours. We insert the fol lowinit extract from this able production, in reference to the two projects now before Con gress for a settlement of the difficulties: in Kansas, and bespeak for it a calm and unprej udiced perusal. The distinguished Senator fixes the " saddle on the right horse," and proves most clearly and conclusively, that if the troubles in that Territory are to continue, the fault is nut with the Democrats in Con gress, but with the Black Republican,. and Know-Nothings, who evidently wish still fur ther to agitate the question and keep alive the excitement until November next. After the Presidential election we shall hear no more of "Kansas Outrages," &c. Govenor BIGLER said : But now for the Kansas question, and the Republican or Fremont Party. Ever since the commencement of the present session of Congress the whole country has been agitated, deeply and violently agitated, concerning the state of society in Kansas. The most accom plished artists of the Republican party have painted the startling picture fiotu time to time. That the simple reflection of the truth would have made a picture dark enough, no one can doubt; but that these gentlemen, fur purposes of their own, have given it the deepest shade practicable, is just as evident. We had been told by the Republican 'orators in Congress, on the rostrum and in the pulpit, that the people of Missouri had invaded the Territory, and controlled the election for members of the Legislature held in March 1855; that the tree-state men had been driven from the polls; that the government had been usurped by mere brute force; that the laws of Kansas were nut valid laws; that tile people would and should resist tem ; that anarchy reigned in Kansas; that arsons and murders were invoked to serve the ends of slavery; that finally Kan. sas and liberty lay bleeding at the feet of the border ruffians, and that the whole country was on the verge of civil war. Here is a pic ture; now what remedy did the Republican Representatives in Congress propose. Did they ask a legal and just measure of reform ? By no means, fellow citizebs; but with the denun ciations against the lawless authorities of Kansas still fresh on their lips, they became the advocates of the Topeka Convention and the State Constitution framed by that body, a movement admittedly without law, and in contravention of. lUw and in menace of the Government. With all this seeming reverence for, the law, they could advocate a revolurfon ary step taken in defiance of the Governmbut. We were told that the admission ut Kan sas as a State, was the only remedy for her evils ; the only mode of quieting the public mind and averting civil war in the Territory. Well, gentlemen, it had become apparent to all, that some effective and final measure of pacification was demanded by the best in terest, not only of Kansas, but of the whole nation; that whilst the laws of the local Leg islature were technically legal, the right of suffrage had been abused in selecting the membrs, and that many of the Statutes were oppressive and unjust, and in conflict with the Constitution, and the original Kansas Nebras• ka act. With a view to-meet these difficulties, Mr. Toombs, a Southern Senator, about ten days since, introduced a bill providing fur the prompt admission of Kansas as a State. His proposition was referred to the Territorial Committee, and reported to the Senate on Monday last, by Mr. Douglas, and Wednesday fixed for a final vote. That bill provides that the present inhabi tantsmay elect delegates to a convention to meet' in November next, to form a constitution, preparatory to admission as a State; that a board of five commissioners shall be appointed by the President, to repair to the Territory, to superintend the election of delegates ; to make an enumeration of the legal voters ; and pnt up a list of voters at every district ; and ! that only those who are now in the Territory, and those who may have, left on business or because of the sad state of society, shall vote. The law throws ample guards about the bal lot box, by heavy penalties against illegal voting or violent efforts to interfere with the ' right of suffrage; it also annuls all the Terri torial statutes subversive of the liberty of speech and the freedom of the press, and those requiring an oath of fidelity to the Fugitive Slave Law as a qualification thr a voter, and other absurd provisions. These statutes be ing inconsistent with the Constitution and the organic law, are clearly within the scope of the Congressional correction, without interfer ing with the doctrine of non-intervention, for the Kansas law provides that the action of the territorial legislature shall be confined " to rightful subjects of legislation." liere then, was a measure of peace and law, the prompt admission of Kansas as a State, irrespective of her decision on the Slavery question. Its vi tal object being to terminate at once all mo tive on the part of outsiders to force temporary population into the Territory, with a view to control its policy on the Slavery question. What followed? Did the Republican Sena tors support that measure? Did they accept this proposition to bring Kansas in as a State. By no means ; to my amazement it met /their violent reistance. The first demonstration came from the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Wilson, who proposed to strike out the entire bill and insert a section, simply repealing all the laws of Kansa t s ; substituting anarchy for the admission of the Territory as a State. The Senator from New York, Mr. Seward, the leader and intellect of that party, still insisted upon the Topeka Constitution. In the face of all his anathemas against the lawless au thorities of Kansas, he voted to sanction a measure wanting in the slightest coloring of authority, and which had been brought forth in defiance of the law and its officers; and what is surprising, in addition, his course seems to be sanctioned by the entire Republi can:party, headed by that common fountain of fanaticisms, falsehoods and vagaries, the New York Tribune. The Senator from New Hamp shire, Mr. Hale, proposed to strike out the fourth of July, 1856, as the time that the law should take effect, and insert July, 1857, so that the strife in Kansas might last a year longer; that bleeding Kansas, for whose people so many crocadile tears had been shed, might bleed on. They first objected that the local law forbid and punished free discussion, and thus the slavery men had the advantage; then the bill was amended, as had been agreed upon upon by the committee, so as to annul all such laws. The next objection was, that the Free State men had been driven from the Territory, and the friends of slavery would have things their own way; then the bill was so amended as to give all former citizens the opportunity to return and participatein the election. The next plea was that the intention and' effect was to bring Kansas in as a Slave State. The answer was no; it provides that the unre strained will of the bona . fide citizens shall settle that question, and that the objection could not properly come from the Republican side, because they had uniformly claimed that a very large majority of the real settlers are against slavery, and that all they sought was a fair expression of popular will. But reason was powerless. They resisted to the end; and finally the bill passed at the end of a session of twenty-one hours, by a vote of 33 to 12. Within a few hours after, the House passed a bill admitting Kansas under the Topeka Constitution, and thus the issue is fairly made up. The Democrats are for bringing in Kan sas by the straight way and under the auspices of the law ; the Republicans insist upon - her admission by the crooked way, a way tarnish ed by violence and revolution. The Demo crats contend for a constitution to be made by the whole people, through a pure ballot box ; the Republicans for one made by a party with out the agency of law or of the ballot box.— Judge ye between us.
