The Democracy of Pennsylvania, and all oth e rs i n favor of preserving the Union ad the States, now seriously en dangered by a sectional organization, led and controlled by the open enemies of the 'Federal Constitution, and conduc ted upon the alarming idea of repudiating nearly one-half of the States of this Union, are respectfully notified that Iterrixas will!' be held at the following times and places', of the friends of JA3IES BUCHANAN for President, and Juni C. BRECKINIUDGE fur Vice President. At CIiASIBERSBUDG, Franklin Couuty, . DAY, tho 7th day of August, 1556, being the day after the Democratic State Convention.

By order of the Democratic State antral Onnmittee Buchanan at Home The enthusiasm fur Mr. BCCHANAN, in Lan caster county, is steadily increasing. From every section of the county our information is of the most gratifying character. He will not only poll the entire Democratic vote, but hundreds of old line Whigs and scores of Americans will vote for him. They cherish him as an esteemed neighbor and friend—as a man with whom they have been long and intimately acquainted—a statesman whose only aspiration is the good of his country and the union and perpetuity of the Republic. It is too early yet to predict the result in Lancaster county. Many of our friends are of the opinion that he will carry the county over both the other candidates combined—and we are not without hope that such - will be the case. tet we would not be too sanguine, as an opposition majority of five thousand is a large margin to overcome ; but if he should carry the county it will be one of the greatest political triumphs upon record. One thing, however, is certain that, if he does not suc ceed over the combined forces of the enemy, he will run them very close and leave them nothing at all to bhg of after the battle is ended. Our friends at a distance may rest assured that, under any circumstances, LIMES Bu- CHASAN will make a tremendous poll in his own county. He will have, by far, the strong est vote ever given to a Democratic candidate here, notwithstanding the lying assertions and villainous misrepresentations of the paid let ter writers for the Black Republican press of the country. We are not in the habit of boasting—but we know what we say when we predict that our friends in this and other States will have no cause to be ashamed of Lancas ter county on the 4th of November. If every other county does as well in proportion to their vote, we should not doubt that his ma jority in Pennsylvania will reach fifty thous and! We want our friends to remember what we have said, and then tell us after the elec tion whether our prediction has not been abundantly verified. County Committee Meeting The Democratic County Committee met agreeably to the call of the Chairman, at the Hotel of Emanuel Shober, in the City of Lan caster, on Friday the Ist inst., at 11 o'clock, A. M. The following members present: H. B. Swarr, City, Chairman; Bart, Isaac Sharp ; Caernarvon, Dr. B. F. Bunn ; Clay, Harrison Elser ; Colerain, R. B. Patterson; Conestoga, John Kolp; Conoy, Jno.H.

Reynolds, Esq., and unanimously adopted: Resolved, ,That the Chairman of the County Committee be directed to issue a call for the election of delegates and a County Conven tion, to settle a ticket, at such time as he may deem expedient. On motion, the Committee unanimously re solved to visit Wheatland in a body, and pay their respects to Mr. BUCHANAN. On motion, adjourned. H. B. SWARR, Chairman. JOHN KOLP, Sec'y. Visit to Mr. Buchanan Agreeably to a resolution, the County Com mittee, after transacting their business, pro ceeded in a body to Wheatland, for the pur pose:of paying their respects toMr.BUCHANAN. They were cordially received by him, and one and all expressed great gratification at the visit. Short, but pertinent addresses were made by H. B. Sweatt, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, and by Hon. J. GLANCY JONES, who happened to be at Wheatland at the time. The whole affair passed off very pleasantly, And the visit of the Committee was peculiarly gratifying to Mr. BucHANAN. Tho New York Herald and its lying oorres-. poildent from this city, attempts to create the impression on the public mind abroad that the Lancaster Intelligencer, some four or five years ago, was hostile to Mr. Elticamoss, and at that time used for the purpose of misrepresenting and slandering him. Here, at home, where the truth is known, such a base charge is looked upon with loathing and contempt for the foul mouthed, unpardoned convict and slanderer who gives utterance to it. The Intelligencer has always been the friend of Mr.I3CCHANAN, and has ever defended him against all the as saults of his enemies, at home and abroad, as its files will abundantly show. There was, we admit, a paper called the Lancasterian published here at that time— now no longer in existence—which was full of vituperation and slanderous abuse of Mr. BUCMANAN, and from whose columns the Abu ' lition press of the country are now quoting with fiendish malignity. That paper was controlled at the time by a gentleman who is now actively and ardently engaged in advocating ;the elec ! ion of Mr. Benitez:ex. This fact, of itself, is sufficient to show that the slanders in ques tion were the vilest kind of fabrications, and are so acknowledged by the author himself at the present time. A word more about the Lancasttrian. We purchased that paper in the month of October last, at the solicitation of the then proprietor, and united it with the Intelligencer.. Since which time the consolidated paper has been pub lished by us as the Intelligencer Lancasterian i —and not the "LANcesrEaux & INTELLIGEN" I CUR, " as the N. York Herald and its lying eor , respondent has it. So much for the misrepre ' sentations as to the course of the Intelligencer. So far as we, the editon of the Intelligencer & Lancasterian are concerned, a word is suf ficient. For the twenty years that, here and in a sister county, we have been engaged as a journalist, we have at all times and under all circumstances been the ardent and devoted friend of JAMES BUCHANAN, as every body knows, in the counties of Cumberland and Lancaster. We were among the first—per haps the very first editor in the State to pre sent his name for the Presidency, which we did in 1841, shortly after the disastrous de feat of our party in 1840. We first became personally acquainted with Mr. BUCHANAN in 1836—advocated his nomination (until he declined) in 1844—again in 1848 and 1852 and up to the day of his nomination at Cincin nati, in 1856—and if Providence spares our life, we hope to see him inaugurated as Chief Magistrate of the Union, on the 4th of March, 1851. We have always been the friend of Mr. Bachanan, and, we are pleased to add, he has always been our friend. With these remarks we dismiss the subject, and shall not again refer to it. Wilson McCandless The following proceedings of a meeting of "colored individuars" we copy from the New York Herald of Wednesday last. [lt may be well enough to premise, for the information of many of our readers, that, in the State of New York, neyroes owning a certain amount of property are permitted to vote.l The genu ineness of these proceedings cannot be doubt ed, as they are published in the well known and leading organ of Black Republicanism.— We invite the attention of our white readers to this precious document. We suppose the Ex aminer will copy the same, as so valuable an accession to the Fremont party as 6,000 color, ed votes, is not to be sneezed at: MEETING OF T 1.41 COLORED CITIZENS OF BROOKLYN. A meeting f the colored voters of the city of Brooklyn was held in Granada Hall, Myr tle avenue, last evening. The attendance was respectable, notwithstanding the rain. The object was for the purpose of organizing a Club, and to adopt such measures as might be the most practicable in the present political campaign. E. C. Harrington was chosen President; F. Champion and E. Stoughtenber ger, Vice Presidents; and W. J. F. Taylor, Secretary. After which the following resolu tions, reported by J. M. Gloucester, C. W. Levere and J. C. Morrell, committee, were read and adopted:— Resolved, That as oppressed American cit izens, we cannot but be aware of the great struggle going on in the country between lib erty and despotism, and feel a deep and abi ding interest in the issue; and being impres sed and implicated as we are in this struggle, we feel called upon, by all that is due to our selves and to the cause of liberty, to publish what we deem ought to be our position and sentiments to the world. Resolved, That in the highly exciting scenes that have been, and are now occurring in Kansas, is only a vivid illustration of that sentiment long held by us, that slavery in•this country: would ultimately change its victims —that white freemen of it would know what it is to be under the reign of its terrible power. Resolved, That as this event has come to pass, we tender to those noble men who are now under the process of these soul trying scenes, our deep, heartfelt sympathy, trusting that when their triumph is gained they will not forget to remove from the constitution of their State that oppressiveeportion of it that interdicts free colored men from settling upon their soil. Resolved, That in the three prominent po litical platforms now before the country we recognize that adopted by the republican par ty nearest to the truth and right, though be lieving as we do, that the very gist of the matter, they have untouched slavery in the States, the slave traffic between the States, its stronghold in the District of Columbia, yet believing this, so great is our abhorrence to this national soul crushing evil, that we can enter with even the humblest, the merest tyro in political ethics to overthrow the evil in all its mighty abominations. Resolved, That in the nomination of Col. John C. Fremont, by the republicans, to the office of chief Executive of this nation, we behold the embodiment of Northern sentiment against Southern impudence and oppression, and tender it our hearty good will, pledging, as far as we are permitted (by yet the behest of slavery in our own State) to exercise the right of American citizens in the use of the ballot box, to remember him and his contest in the coming election. Resolved, That we unite ourselves into a political league and enjoin it upon our breth ren throughout the State in their several lo calities; so that we may act unanimously and effectively in pouring in on this, the right side of this contest, our 6,000 votes. Resolved, That if it shall be seen in the final that this great question, which is now so greatly moving the country, is to pass before settled, throughout one universal, sanguinary contest, the sooner it comes the better, pledg irig ourselves, that as our distinguished sires were among tho first to shed their blood in the Revolutionary struggle, in redeeming from British misrule and oppression, we shall not be found wanting, especially when involved in this is the redemption of near four millions of men from the most bebasing of all bondage, and thirty millions more from all participa tion in the atrocious iniquity. Dr. NATHANIEL WATSON, of East Donegal township, is engaged in the earnest and active advocacy of Mr. BUCHANAN for the Presidency. The Dr. is one of the most active and influen tial men in that section of the county, and has alway heretofore been one of the leading Whigs of Lancaster county. A large num bet of the Whigs of that section of the county think and act with the Dr. The Kansa., Contested Election. The House of Representatives at Washing ton has rejected both contestants for the seat as delegate from Kansas Territory—Whitfield by a vote of 100 to 92, and Reeder by a vote of 113 to 88. ACQUITTAL or HERBER.T.—The Know-Noth ing Congressman from California, named Her bert, has been tried in Washingto'n for the murder of Keating, the Irish waiter, and ac quitted. The verdict of the jury produced considerable excitement, and he thought it prudent to leave the.city for a few days. Personal. A Fremont Gathering: More Help I The Two Platforms. For the special edification of the .Examiner Herald, as well'as for the benefit of all our readers, we insert what is in reality the two opposing platforms in the present "canvass for the Presidency : Democratic Platform ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, 1856. The Convention, after reaffirming the Demo cratic Platform of 1852, lays down the follow ing additional declarations of politcal faith, made necessary by events occurring since that time: And lirazazes„ Since the foregoing decla ration was uniformly adopted by our prede cessors in National Conventions, an adverse political and religions test has been secretly organized by a party claiming to be exclusive ly American, it is proper that the American Democracy should clearly define its relations thereto, and declare its determined opposition to all secret political societies, by whatever name they may be called. Resolved, That the foundation of this union of States having been Mid in, and its prosper ity, expansion, 'and preeminent example in free government built upon entire freedom in matters of religious concernment, and no re spect of person in regard to rank or place of birth; no party can justly be deemed national, constitutional, or in accordance with American principles, which bases its exclusive organiza tion upon religious opinions and accidental birthplace. And hence a political crusade in the nineteenth century, and in the United States of America, against Catholics and foreign born, is neither justified by, the past history or the future prospects of the country, nor in unison with the spirit of toleration and enlarg ed freedom which peculiarly:distinguishes the American system of popular government. Resolved, That we iterate with renewed energy of purpose, the well considered decla rations of former Conventions upon the sec tional issue of Domestic Slavery, and concern ing the reserved rights of the States,— That Congress has no power under the Constitution, to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of every thing appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts of the Abolitionists or others, made to I induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences ; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tenden cy to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenan ced by any friend of our political institutions. 2. That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended to embrace the whole sub ject of slavery .agitation in Congress ; and therefore the Democratic party of the Uni on, standing on this national platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the mote known as the Compromise Measures, settled by the Congress of 850 ; " the act for reclaiming fugitives from service or labor," in cluded ; which act being designed to carry out an express provision of the Constitution, can not, with fidelity thereto, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency. 3. That the Democratic party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made. 4. That the Democratic party will faithfully abide by and uphold the principles laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798, and in the report of Mr. Madison to the Virginia Legislature, in 1799 ; that it adopts those principles as constituting one of the main foundations of its political creed, and is resolved to carry them out in their obvious meaning and import. 1. Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who re gard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue—and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resistance to law in the Territories ; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion—the American Democracy recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws estab lishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebras ka as embodying the only sound and safe solu tion of the " slavery question " upon which the great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union—NON-INTERFER ENCE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN STATE AND TERRITORY, OR IN THE DISTRICT Or COLOMBIA 2. That this was the basis of the Compro— mises of 1850—confirmed by both the Demo cratic and Whig parties in National conven tions—ratified by the people in the election of 1852, and rightly applied to the organization of Territories in 1854. 3. That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of Territories, and to the admission of new States, with or without domestic slavery, as they may elect—the equal rights of all the States will be preserved intact—the original compacts of the Constitution maintained inviolate—and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insu red to its utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and harmony every future American State that may be constituted or annexed, with a republican form of government. BLACK REPUBLICAN PLATFORM "I look forward to the day when there shall be servile insurrection in the South; when the black man, armed with Britishbayouds &idled on by Britishogicers, shall assert his freedom, and wage a war of extermination against his master; when the torch of the incendiary shall light up the towns and cities of the South, and blot out the last vistege of slavery; and tho' I may not mock at their calamity, nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet I will hail it as the dawn of a political millennium."—Joshua R. Giddings. "There is a higher law than the Constitution which regulates our authority over the domain. * It (slavery) can and must be abolished, and you and I 7111181 do it. " Correct your own error that slavery has any constitutional guar antees which may not be released, and ought not to be relinquished. * You will soon bring the parties of the country into an EF FECTIVE AGGRESSION UPON SLAVERY.- WM. H. Seward. " The Whig party is not only dead, but stinks."—Benjamin F. Wade. "I am willing in a certain state of circum stances TO LET THE UNION SLIDE."—Nat. P. Banks. "In the case of the alternative being pre sented of the continuance of slavery or a dis solution of the Union, I ant for dissolution, and I care not how quick it comes."—Rufus P. Spaulding. "On the action of this convention depends the fate of the country; if the republicans fail at the ballot box, WE WILL BE FORCED TO DRIVE BACK THE SLAVEOCRACY WITH FIRE AND SWORD."—James Watson Webb. "The times demand and we must have an ANTI-SLAVERY CONSTITUTION, AN ANTI-SLAVERY BIBLE, AND AN ANTI-SLAVERY GOD."-ABSQII Burlingame." "I have no doubt that the free and slave States ought to separate."—J. S. P. of the New York Tribune. "It is the duty of the North, in case they fail in electing a President and a Congress that will restore freedom in Kansas, to revo lutionize the governthent."—Resolution of a Black Republican meeting in Wisconsin.. "I pray daily that this accursed Union may be dissolved, even if blood have to be spilt." Black Republican clergyman at Poughkeepsie. "We earnestly request Congress at its pres ent session, to take such initiatory measures for the speedy, peaceful, and equitable disso lution of the existing Union'as the exigencies of the case may require."—Black Republican petition to Congress. "The Union is not worth supporting in con nection with the South."—Horace Greeley. _ . "The Constitution is a reproach and a league with Tophet."— Wm. Lloyd Garrison_ Mk. The superiority of American inven tive genius, not only over that of our English progenitors, but indeed of all other nations has become too tangible to be disputed. It was notorious at the World's Fair in London, that the Americans far outstripped all others in the inventions which they supplied. We beat the English in vessels, railroads, tele graphs and' manufactures by power. We are beating them in the scientific arts of Chemistry and Medicine, as we have long beat the rest of mankind. A new and prac tical proof of this assertion is shown in the fact that the principal remedies of the allied armies of the East are furnished from the laboratory of our own countryman. Dr. J. C. AYER, of Lowell, is filling orders for im mense quantities of his Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic Pills,for both the land andsea forces in Turkey. Hiemedicines have been tried and approved by those in power, who have found them the most reliable which they could pro cure for the exigencies in which they are to be employetl. 7 —N. Y. City Times. They Come Over. We continue to hear of valuable accessions to the ranks of the Democracy, in all sections of the country. The best men of those who have heretofore opixlsed us, the true friende.of the Constitution and the Union, are becoMing aware of the dangers which Black RePublican ism threatens to the peace of the country and our glorious institutions, and are therefore rallying to the support of the Democracy as the only party in the country that " carried the flag and keeps step to the music of the Union." A bare mention of all these cases would fill columns of our paper, and we can therefore rare': but to few of them. "z A late number of the Detroit Free Press contains a long and able communication from S. S. Coffinberry, a distinguished old. line whig of Michigan, announcing the reasons that will induce him to vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge. He closes with the follow ing significant paragraph : " I trust that, by the election of Mr. Bu chanan to the Chief Magistracy of this Repub lic, the people will pronounce a significant rebuke to all such political jugglers, gamblers, disunionists and seditionists as have at the present, or may in all future time, array,them selves against the v,eal and good order of the American Union." A correspondent of the Ohio Statesman, writing from Miami county, in that State, says that every thing looks bright for the Democ racy. The Know Nothing Black Republican lodges are being vacated by all the intelligent patriotic citizens who have been inveigled into then; in that county. Among the whigs who are boldly out for Buchanan in Miama, the Statesman names the Hon. Wm. J. Thomas and H. Sellers, Esq., of the Troy bar. Mr. Thomas was formerly a whig member of the State Senate. S. Castle, Esq., an able member of the Cleve land bar, an active old line whig politician, who travelled with Gen. Scott in that State in 1852, is out in a letter for Buchanan and Breckinridge. Hon. Francis Granger, of New York, Post master General under General Harrison, sup ports the Democratic nominees, Buchanan and Breokinridge. Gen. Leslie Coombs of Kentucky, the great whig orator of 1852, who has been so highly applauded by the whig papers, and who en joyed the confidence and esteem of Henry Clay, supports Buchanan and Breckenridge. William A. Crocker, Esq., one of the old commercial and manufacturing firm of Crock er & Brother, of Taunton, Massachusetts, has published a very able letter avowing his deter mination to give his vote and influence in fa vor of the Democratic party. He is a man of high character and influence, has always been a whig, and was a devoted friend of Danig Webster. In reviewing, the position of the parties opposed to the Democracy, he truly says of the so-called:Republican party that, " disguising its objects as it may, under spe cious pretests and professed devotion td free dom, it is still, as it always has been, in reality at war with the Constitution, and hostile to the peace and happiness and preservation of the Union." And he closes his admirable letter as follows: " In this condition of affairs, amid the gloom which overshadows the land, I discover but one hope of safety. THAT HOPE IS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Whatever differences may have hitherto separated this party and the party with which we have been accustomed to act, however heated the contests through which they have passed, one thing must be admitted—The Democratic party, has at all tunes and upon all occasions been a National party. It was the Democratic party which met and crushed the spirit of disunion when the standard of nullification was raised in . South Carolina. It was the Democratic party which stood by and sustained Henry Clay and our own Webster in the great struggle with sectionalism, in 1850; and it is the Democratic party which is now, without distinction of lo cality, at the North and the South, in the East and in the West, doing battle manfully for the Constitution and the Union, against a combination of factions. ' In truth, the Demo cratic party is the only conservative party remaining, and the only organization to which conservatism may look for restoration of peace and harmony and obedience to law. It is quite sure that on some minor points—minor as compared with the all absorbing issues of the . ..times—l may differ with the party referred to ; but shall I allow such considerations to I interpose to restrain my action • when the Union is in danger and the common weal at stake ? For myself, I answer no. In this contest my vote and whatever of influence I pueeess, must be given in support of the Dem ocratic party. I should, perhaps, have been impelled, by a sense of duty, to this conclu sion, whoever might have been the candidate of that party for the Presidency. But the prudence, firmness and wisdom displayed by .the late convention at Cincinnati, has removed all doubts. In presenting a platform of prin ciples as comprehensive as the Union to stand upon, that Convention also presented a candi date whose name is known not only at home but abroad, and who, in every position be hati occupied, and they have been many and dis tinguished, has won not only the admiration of his friends, but the esteem and respect and confidence of his opponents. I regard Mr. Buchanan as the man of all others for the times, and I hail his nomination as the first step taken towards a return to the old but not less wise policy of placing the conduct of the government in the hands of statesmen. Pos sessing a strong and well balanced mind, com prehensive yet conservative in his views, inti mately acquainted with the necessities of the country and familiar with all questions of domestic and foreign concernment ; firm but conciliatory in his character, and entering upon the high trust with the avowed purpose of surrendering it at the expiration of a single term, thus having no other ambition than to promote the welfare of the Republic, and se- 1 cure to himself an honorable niche in the tem ple of national history, I am deeply impressed with the conviction that the election of Mr. Buchanan would be in all respects a most auspicious event. His whole life is a guaran ty that under an administration directed by him, we should have repose. The announce ment of his success, in my judgment, would dispel the clouds that hover over our relations with foreign countries, and restore that sense of security which is so essential to a commer cial people, while at the same time it would with equal certainty calm down the angry waves of internal strife which now threaten to devastate the land. I may be disappointed in these anticipations, but in Mr. Buchanan there is assuredly hope of safety. Elsewhere I see only continued agitations, violence and ship wreck." The Louisville Democratic states that his Excellency Archibald'Dixon and Col. Thos. B. Stevenson, long the leading whig spirits of Kentucky, will in a few days issue their ap pointments, covering the whole State, and address the people in behalf of Buchanan and Breckinridge till the Presidential election. John Heiner, Esq., a leading freesoiler of Ohio, has come out for Buchanan. Judge Breckenridge an influential whig of Pittsburg, Pa., declares his intention of sup porting the Democratic nominee for the Pres idency to the " utmost of his ability." Hon. James Monroe, nephew to President Monroe, and for several years a whig member of Congress from New York, has come out for Buchanan. It is stated that of all the surviving Cabinet officers of Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Fill more, only two are supporters of Fremont. Hon. J. R. Tyson, member of Congress from Philadelphia, who has always been a whig and voted for Banks, has come out for Bu chanan. It was stated by an opposition speaker in Congress, last week, that seventeen Northern members who voted for Banks, are supporting Mr. Buchanan. TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER-THIRTY TO FORTY LIVES LOST.-BUFFALO, July 17.—The steamer Northern Indiana took fire this morn ing about 11 o'clock, while on her passage to Toledo, and was burned to the water's edge.

Elation'. Speak Louder than Words We hear a great deal said by the Black Republican press about the cruelty of the Southern people to the poor negroes over whom they have control, and the general in disposition of the master to emancipate his slaves. But is it so ? We do not credit the assertion. On the contrary, there are persons in the South who have done, and are still do ing more for the freedom of the slave, than all the Abolitionists of the North would do in a century. Read the following article from the Philadelphia Colonization Herald of last week: AFRICAN COLONIZATION IN KENTUCKY Nelson Graves, of Woodford county, Ken tucky, left by will, twenty-five servants to be freed, and sent by the Kentucky State Colo nization Society to Liberia. He gave also to them, by will, one-half of hie estate, probably $lO,OOO. John Gass, of Bourbon county, Kentucky, left by will, seventeen servants to be sent to Liberia by the same sooiety, and gave to them $2,000. John C. Brown, of Shelby county, Ken tucky; gave freedom to a woman and three children, to go to Liberia with her husband and their father. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Morton, of Shelby co., Kentucky, purchased two servants, men, of her children, and sent them to Liberia. Mims Sally Logan, of Shelby county, Ken tuoky, emancipated a woman and child too to Liberia to her sister, who is married in Li beria, and was emancipated by her and sent there a year ago. Haden Edwards, of Nelson county, Ken tucky, freed a servant woman and three chil dren, and sent them to Liberia. He did a similar act four"years ago. E. B. Elliott, now of Jacksonville, Illinois, formmt of Muhlenburg county, Kentucky, emancipated six servants living in Muhlenburg county, and sent them to Liberia. He gave to them $650. Two years ago he did likewise. E. D. %%, eir, of Muhlenburg county, Ken tucky, emancipated a servant man to go with his wife and children to Liberia. He has done such an act before. J. W. Herndon, of Simpson county, Ken tucky, J. M. C. Irwin, of Fayette county, Kentucky, and Edward \ Howard, of Daviess county, Kentucky, each emancipated a ser vant to go to Liberia. A colored man, a slave, was bought in order to refund the purchase money by his own labor to go to Liberia, where his family went. Hr refunded the money, and went with his family to that new home. The Kentucky Colonization Society sent to Liberia from Kentucky, in the June expedi tion, sixty-seven emigrants. The Society will send another company from Kentucky to Li beria in November next. GLORIOUS NEWS FROM NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION A Thorough Union of the Party THE EMPIRE STATE SAFE FOB BUCHANAN The two State Conventions of Hards and Softs met at Syracuse, on Wednesday laat, the 30th ult., and after a full and free interchange of opinion, unanimously agreed to drop all their former differences and form a perfect union. After the union was effected, the Convention placed in nomination, for the office of Governor, Hon. ALCSA J. PARKER, who was selected on the fourth ballot, and the nomi nation was unanimously concurred in. The Convention then adjourned till nest day, when the following proceedings were had: SYRACUSE, July 31.—the UniontDeinocratic Convention have nominated by acclamation, Judge Vanderbilt for Lieutenant Governor. Addison Gardiner and -David L. Seymour have belin nominated as the electors at large. John Russell was nominated for Canal Commissioner, Mathew Brennan, for State Prison Inspector, and H. G. Warner fur Clerk of the Court of Appeals. AFTERNOON SESSION.—Ex-Governor Sey mour reported a series of resolutions congrat ulating the Democrats of New York, and of the Union upon the auspicious results, brought about by the drivention, cordially approving the Cinoinnati nominees, and the platform adopted by the National Convention, regard ing the latter as exhibiting the Democracy of the Union in their true attributes as a party, of broad, generous sympathies and earnest patriotism, not sectional, proscriptive or dis trustful of the people, but embracing every por tion of the Union in its affections, and all sects and creeds. Regarding the nominations of Fre mont and Fillmore as equally repugnant to the true sentiments of the American people, alike characterized by a spirit of bigotry and intolerance, and believing that the people will repel the attempt made in the names of these candidates to organize sectional and sectarian parties, having a tendency to destroy the Uni on. Repelling every charge of sectionalism brought against the Democratic party, and pointing to the entire unanimity of the Demo ()ratio Senators in Congress in their votes on the passage of the bill for the pacification of the difficulties in Kansas, as a timely and gratifying proof of the unity of principle which pervades the Democratic party in regard to their practical treatment of the territorial questions. That the wise and just provisions contained therein to secure the people in the free and untrammelled expression and fulfil ment of their wishes, are such as should com mand the entire approval of the patriotic 'citi zens of all parties, and the opposition with which this beneficent measure has been met by the Abolition leaders, proves them more in tent upon making political capital out of ex— isting difficulties than contributing to their removal. They also express confidence in a triumph in the coming struggle. The resolutions were adopted by acclama tion. The Convention telegraphed to Mr. Buchan an of its harmonious action and received a congratulatory and inspiriting reply. Several excellent speeches were mode, and the Convention then adjourned sine die. SYRACUSE. Thursday, July 31—P. M. The following answer was received from the Hon. James Buchanan, .to the telegraphic message addressed him by the President of the Convention, informing him of the union of the Democratic party of the State. It is as follows: To Win. C. Crane, Esq., President of The Con solidated Democratic Convention of the New York Democracy. Mr. Buchanan has received' the resolution of the Consolidated Convention of the New York Democracy. Their union at this event ful crisis is one of the grandest events in our history. The Constitution will now weather the storm of fanaticism, and the Union must and shall be preserved.' The whole country will hail -this re-union as a rainbow in the cloud, promising a return of the peace and harmony which prevailed in the good old time among the sister States. (Signed,) JAMES BUCHANAN. SYRACUSE, Thursday, July 31-10 P. M. A large and enthusiastic Democratic meet ing was held in Market Hall this evening.—, Eloquent speeches were made by John Coch rane and other members of the Convention. Just What they Demanded The Kansas committee, in their report to Congress, give the sum total of their demands in the following language: "Seventh, that in the present condition of the Territory, a fair election cannot be held without a new census, a stringent and well guarded election, the selection of impartial judges, • and the presence of United States troops at every place of election." The bill of Senator Douglas, which has passed the United States Senate, provides for every requisite they here point out—a new census, a stringent and well guarded election law, and the polls to be protected by the Uni ted States troops—five Commissioners, who it is understood will be taken from both political parties—and, it repeals all the obnoxious laws of which they complain besides. This is not on ly what the Black Republican Committee de manded, but even more—and yet that factious party oppose the bill with their entire strength. They are determined to keep up this sectional agitation until after the Presidential election, even.if it ends in the dissolution of the Union. Senator Pratt, of Maryland This gentleman, an old line Whig, who has for several years past ably represented Mary land in the Senate of the United States, is out strongly for BUCHANAN and BRECKINUIDGE, and has issued an address to the Whigs of Maryland. In his able and statesmanlike letter he takes irrefragable positions against both Fillmore and Fremont. He says, and says truly, that the life of the Union is in danger, and tells the Maryland Whigs that the political battle now being fought is one of the deepest interest to them—that the main tenance of the constitutional rights of the South is the issue tendered to the American people by the Demperatic party, and (as the Whigs have no candidate,) by th a t party alone—that upon this issue the Black Repub lican party have staked the Union—and in such a battle, upon each an issue, he urges his Whig friends to be true to the Democrats I who are battling for the Constitution. It is understood that Senator Ballad (Whig,) of the same State, will also be out in •a few days for Mr. BUCHANAN. There is no mistaking public sentiment in Maryland. Her eight electoral votes will be certain for Bucrwierq and BHHCKINMIXIE. Irmuss.—Ezra Wilson, Esq., offers through the Washington Union, to bet $2,500 that James Buchanan will carry Indiana, and $2,500 that he will receive a majority of the electoral votes of the Union.

We will shike off th drowsy spirit which clasps us Its Its lethargic folds, finno longer tolerate "secret," d rat envious and "black" treason our midst. This question of whether or no Bunn-saws s be our next - President Is one of life and death—of lif to Democracy and the Re public—of death to fanatic's and base treachery. Penn sylvania's favorite eon—the Uctios's favorite, Is now favored by the great brotherhood ofitates. Ile Is new occupying the very place we wished hi , and it was a proud day for Pennsylvanians when the ational Democratic Conven tion declared, with one vole that BUCHANAN was the nom inee of our great party—a pe 1 1sty which has always main tained and ?stood up for the dignity of the present Union of States. It is not necessary to contrast the Tetanus patriot and - statesman who leads the reef of the Democracy, with the proscriptive Know-Nothing . ilimore, or the candidate of the Black Republican part L the chivalric , mustachled i young Fre.mont—in this n her, as we will have ample time and space left to present them In- their true light In the future. It Ls easy to deci e for whom we and All Union t i c loving citizens will vote. o those who are wavering, we say that It is torpor t that they decide. immedi ately for whom they will asst their votes on the 4th day . of November next. Avow bol y and openly your intenUon that, as Pennsylvanians an Democrats, you will. rats for Buchanan and Breckinridge By doing this It may carry ~, with it a powertnlinfluence That Matt seeing your deter. mination will be influenced do as you do; another per haps then is Influenced thro gh him, and another, and so On to Infinity, till we increas and widen oat like the deep river, which has for its start but a tiny rivulet, flowing from a small fountal . In this way much may be done. Our party like the mighty river will flow on, and - , carry with it the succesa so 1 nweasary to the salvation of , the country. Like causes produce like remits. The success of our party depends on the promptness of our actions. In 1 this matter, like in the formation of the mighty stream, the result will be, Black /II publicanism, Know. Nothin g-1 ism, and every other ism, ill be awept, by the tide of public opinionlrresistingly d overwhelmingly downward to the deepest depths of popular hatred, and Buchanan and Breckinridge ride triumphantly onward to the destinies which await them! The opYresitlon would have the twenty millions of freemen of the h.nd believe that they are the espousers of the right—that' they wish to elevate the hu man family to an equality in the socbil relations of the world—that they are National, and hold the permanency of the Union to be the Ifiratd,h the cataloguenf their many pretended virtues—and th 'C' they wish to make white 1:1 labor more honorable, more emunerativel' flint their en tire pretensions are false!— se! as the Illusive dreams of their success! True, they rate about freedom—shriek of danger, and advise armed sistance to encroachments, made by designing men, on the rights of the people; but this is only a sham got up b these political liars to further their own treasonable desi ns! Their every movement, their interference in Kansas matters, business which fromm as none , of theirs, to the 'election of Fremont as their ~ candidate, fOr the bringing bout the more easily, through the means of his great NS th, their nefarious designs.— The design of all this agitation of the Slavery question by the Black Republican leaders is self! They care no more about the condition of the bound Negroes In the South than that of the Thugs In ndia. But it is only done for the purpose of securing 1 tes. Nothing Is left untried from which they think ea 'tat favorable to themselves personally can be made. 'very applicable mode—nice 1 twisting and spreading ab ad el principles calculated to deceive, is resorted to. Thy wish to govern the country for the next four years! preposterous Idea! Better have 1 Benedict Arnold, bereafter—crowned heads and tyrants' it is all the same. - 2i. Mat Republica° Is an Arnold—a traitor at heart: A Know- Brat is at heart a despot!— They will reOelve their 'doom on the Dit day of November nett. In reality, we have but oile,euemy to conteud with; It Is the hated opposition! Dmiocrats! citizens of Penusylva. Ma! you ham an inlcrest ii tic/caging their pines! for they are none other than =Lases ! For these remora we should act promptly. The first Nest of the political bugle has Bounded; its notes have echoed far and wide; let the first ' blast be echoed and followed by the second, and third, and fourth, and continued till the dark mint which has gath ered in the land be completely dispelled; till fanaticism and p roscription be dlsmekubered, and the bright Bun of Democracy shines out In its lustre, enveloping Is Re wel come light the person of onr beloved BUCHANAN, as Vresi : dent of our Republic! We ! havea mighty work to de.— ' Dispelling error and proscription Is no easy matter. The philanthropists of the Old tTorld have been at this for the ~ last ten centuries. By reference to the history of the world their success may be seen. IThe despots on the European thrones view us with an eagle's eye. The present contest is eagerly watched, and titian the decision of the present Presidential campaign hangs the stability and permaneucy of their governments. If the Democratic party triumphs the freedom of downtrodden humanity will have received another acquisition to her Cause, not only in America but . in the world. If on the other - hand fanaticism and pro scription, handmaids of roralty, should triumph, woe to liberty—to freedom iu every phase—to science—to litera ture, and to religion! Freedom of speech will be crushed out—when to rise we predidt not. But more especially is the present contest one of Momentous importance to no a, a Nation! The Idea of the beople governing themselves Is viewed by many es impossittle. It is now more than three quarters of a century since) the experiment was hazarded —and by whom t We answer by tho great and glorious WASHINGTON himself, and further perfected by the patriot' benefactor of mankind—JirFEßSON. The question which originated with them is upheld by the Democracy of to-day —Buchanan I, the leader ofi this Democracy—placed in that position by common consent. The eyes of the ante Nation are now turned with one Steady look to him—‘,Pennsyl vania's Favorite Son." To its, as Ponneylvaniins, belongs the honor of having a champion worthy to lead the entire Democracy of the Nation !I The question remains to be asked, are we determined to place him in the Presidential chair? It requires but thq determined effort—will we do It ? The response—like the reverberutions of the artillery of ten thousand worlds—comes from the hills and Tallies, from the cities, and townsi and hamlets, from the entire people of our own Keystone, "wc wilt! wx Witt!" And this is the determination of our party—a party which has ever been liberal, progressiffe and true to the beet interests of the Country, the Constitution and the People! We fear no ill, if this campaign is the means of placing Buchanan and Breckinridge at the Read of affairs in the National Capital. For this end let 4113, as co-laborers In the Demo cratic party, labor throughout the campaign, and our me- Cove must be Inevitable. A Politimil Catechism _ . OUR BANE iND ANTIDOTE.
