And this Ohio Abolitionist, not'content with publishing the foul libel of a convicted felon. (fur such the author is.l has also the audacity to preface the article with the infamous remark that Mr. firell.tx tN's beautiful home, near this city, "has been made the scene of a drunken orgie, whioli disgraces the man, disgraces his country, and would dis grace any party but that which has fallen to such low depths as to barber murderers, as sassins, slave tradersnnd harder ruffian= 111 its _fold as first among its - members." Such, fellow citizens of Lancaster county, is the scandalous and lying abuse heaped upon the head of the venerable statesman who has lived amongst you for nearly half a century— and whose whole life, political, moral and so cial, gives the lie direct to these and all other similar attacks made um/ his character.— Here, where JaMES BurnANAN is well known . to every man, woman and child in the county, any notice of such false, malignant and wicked libels is unnecessary. The people of Lancas ter county know the source from mhich they emanate, and treat the vile wretch who utters them with that contempt which he deserves. But in Ohio it is different—hence we notice the•abominable slander in the way which we have done, and.caution our Democratic friends in the West against giving any credence to such atrocious calumnies against a statesman, whose purity of morals and integrity of char acter should be a shield against the indecent attacks' of these Black Republican libellers • aneassassins..

It is said that Webb, and the proprietors of the Tribune, and Bepnett, each have a share in this Baron claim.

In this lie exercises his usual smart ness, fur the Baron claim will not be a orth a pig's tail if Fremont is defeated. The Tribune of this morning says not one word about the Fremont defalcation. But the Times states, in its money article, that Mr. Fremont was in the street yesterday trying to raise the sixty thousand dollars to save the ; honor of his State. Honor of his State ! His own honor and that of Ids friends seems to be like his credit, past saving. lie is reported to be the richest man in America, yet he could not raise sixty thousand dollars on his honor in Wall street : The fact speaks*olumes fur the Republican ticket.

Bennett is sharp, indeed. when he demands payment in advance. The money writer of the Herald exculpates Mn, Fremont, and deals gently with the erring birds.

It is sufficient for the public to know that Mr. Dar lin•gtou is now in the same boat with Thad dou's Stevens, William H. Seward, Horace Greeley, David Wilmot, William F.

J The Exo>ciner has not yet re-published its article of last fall, in reference to the nom ination of Mr. Nn . noi.soN Canal Commis sioner. Will it do so If not, we shall have to do the job for our neighbor. The Editor now says he opposed NICHOLSON, because he was a Knour-A'oth : his article to which we refer did not place his opposition exclusively on that ground. Ile opposed him also, bl2C(111-SC he was an Abolitionist, placed in nomination by Tit ADDEUS STEVENS & Co., and so lie stated at the time. Now, he is with these same unscrupulous leaders. The Examinlr was also bitterly opposed to the Maine Law fanatics, and denounced the leaders of that faction in no measured terms. Now, he is found, cheek by jowl, with Geist, Markley, Pearce!, Black, and all the promi nent men connected not only with that ism— but also with K now-Nothingism and Black Republicanism! The Examiner, with all its. shuffling and twisting, only satisfies the public the more that it is consistent in nothing but its incon siatency. The ensuing State election, on the second "luesClay of October, will have an important bearing on the Presidential election, in No-' vember—and we hope our Democratic friends, and'all others in 'favor of our beloved Union, will see to it in time that the first election shall result in,the triumphant election of the Domocratic nominees for Auditor General, Canal Commissioner. and Surveyor General. Will our Democratic exchanges throughout the State call early attention to the great im portance of the State election. We can carry the State for BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE by a large majority—there is no doubt about that; but the Presidential contest would be an easy one, and follow, as a matter of course, almost without an effort, the Octo ber election is won by the DemOcracy. On the other hand—if by any supineness or want of proper organization on the part of our friends, the first election should enure to the benefit of the Coalitionists—to the elevation of COCHRAN, PHELPS and LAPORTE, (all three Black Republicans: of the most malignant stamp,) then it is easy to foresee that we shall have additional trouble at the Presidential election. Again we urge our friends throughout the State to attend, without longer delay, to this all important matter. RAINS IN ALABAMA.—Letters from Alabama are speaking of a bountiful supply of rain in various parts of that State. We hope to be favored with some in this region pretty soon, The State Election its This copy of the Petition for a dissolution of the Union, which we append. was forward ed the Washington Union by It Postmaster in New Hampshire. and which that paper says it publishes ••with the single remark, that there is deep significance in the fact that certain members of Congress [leading Mack Republicans] are designated as 'suita ble' persons t take charge of the document." rloi following is an exact eery of the treason able paper : [The person to whom this petition is trans mitted is earnestly requested to circulate it for signatures of the men and the women it) his town, and see that it is speedily sent to either Senators Wilson, Hale, Wade, Seward, and pe ss eodeu, or Messrs.

The opposition found great fault with the Democratic party, in 1844 and 1852, for put ting up what they were pleased to designate "obscure and untried men" (hut which was not true in point of fact, } for the Presidency.

The principal managers of the meeting were those who played a prominent and conspicuous part in the Christiana negro riot of 1850, which resulted in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch, and disgraced our county and State. GEORGE WHITSON, one of the fiercest Black Republi cans in the Commonwealth acted as President of the meeting. J. P. SCARLET, who (if we mistake not,) was tried for Treason, served as Vice President: and ELWOOD GREIST, who counselled resistance to the laws of the coun try, in a mixed assemblage of whites and blacks, at Georgetown, a Ten days before the Christiana murder, was the Secretary ! Such, fellow citizens of Lancaster county, are the kind of men who support Fremont and Dayton, ,and with whom the Examiner, once the proud and respected organ of the big party of the Old Guard, now sympathises and fraternizes I Verily—" Politics make strange bedfellows," at times—and this last dodge of the Examiner is passing strange, in deed It is ~a id that Mr. Fremont's friends have paid fir the houses ecently bought by James Gordon Bennett, of the hkrald, .00 Fifth avenue, New York. and that Mr. Buch anan declined Mr. and Mrs. 'Bennett's ac quaintance while in Europe.

Rev. Daniel Sher idan, of St. Michael's, is among the dead.— A number of the wounded hart. since died from the injuries received. Several of the ears took fire from the locomotives, and 19 persons, Who were unable to extricate themselves from the wreck, were burned alive! The Conductor of the down train, to whose reckless conduct the sad affair is attributable, is one of those who has since died of his wounds. This Man, named Vanstavoren, when he arrived NI ithilis train at Fort Washington. was advised to Stop for the arrival of the excursion train, which was momentarily expected—but he refused to do so, and directed the engineer to proceed, although a few minutes ahead of time. The train had proceeded but a short distance, when, at a curve in the road, the two trains came in collision, and the frightfulcatastrophe ensued. Delegates to the State Convention.

Shenfrer, • M motion agreed that the proceeding, in the •' Intelligencer Lancasterinn.'• Mr. Van Buren for Buchanan Fs-President Van Buret', having been in cited to celebrate the 4th with his old friend, of the TaMMilily Society, wrote a long letter, touching on the several subjects now before the country, acknowledging that he has some time regarded the Kansas act with more favor than he did at fiat, and concluding with the following endorsement of the Democratic candidate:— • Will Mr Buchanan, if elected, redeem his pledge? [to use his power for the re4toration of harmony between the States, as it existed before the agitation 01 shivery.) I believe he will, cud therefore cheerfully support him. All that can he asked of him is to do equal justice to every section of the country—to ex ercise the high powers with which he will be invested to secure the object in view. as well because it will be right so to du, as because there may be reason to fear that the existence of the government itself may depend upon his securing it. So much has been said in regard to the dangers with which the Union is threat ened, as to require no inconsiderable effort im the part of an earnest man to touch upon the solemn theme for fear he might be suspected of a desire to prostitute it to comparative petty purposes. But all must admit it to be certain that there never was a period in the history of this republic when sectional animosities were so rife, or had, to so great an extent, in flamed the masses of the people. If the con federacy shall prove strong enough to with-. stand these torrents of bitter waters, it will afford the best evidence that the love of uni on is as deeply impressed upon the American heart as its must sanguine friends imagine it to be. I see good grounds for hope that such may be the happy issue out of our present alarming condition, in the prospect of Mr. Buchanan's election. He is neither an un tried man or one of ordinary stamp. lie has for a long time been favorably known to the public service, and comes before the country with a character already formed, and a mind thoroughly trained in the school of experience. In regard to the future action of such a men, his constituents are not left to conjecture and hope, but may form positive opinions. He has established a foreign reputation, in regard to which he cannot fail to be solicitous. He has with characteristic good sense. relieved himself from the imputation of being influ enced by a desire to conciliate any special or partial interest, with a view to a re-election. and his acts from misconstructions, which the suspicion of being so influenced might engen der. That a man with such antecedents, and occupying such a position, acting in a matter of sufficient interest to attract the attention of the world, and in the presence of a free and intelligent people, among whom he was reared and expects to spend the evening of his life, can fail to perform his entire duty when the path that leads to it is so plain that the way faring man though a fool, could not err there in.' is a consummation that I am very certain can never be realised. am very truly yours, _ M.
