Trouble In the Wigwam The Know-Nothing State Convention which met at Harrisburg on Tuesday last decided by a vote of 72 to 18 against a fusion with the Black Republicans. The attempt was boldly made to Bell them to the Woolly Horse fac tion, but a large majority of the delegates (as the vote indicates) stoutly resisted the outside pressure, and expressed a determination to adhere to their own organization and their own candidates. The Convention accordingly settled a FILLMORE and DONELSON Electoral ticket, passed a series of strong resolutions, appointed a State Central Committee, &dz., &c., and otherwise gave evidence of possessing more backbone than many were disposed to give them credit for. Our neighbor of the Examiner is evidently much riled at this result. It was entirely unexpected by him and his co-laborers in the Abolition cause, Messrs. STEVENS, GEIST, Hoon, DICKEY, FENN & CO. Hence he growls like a bear with a sore foot, and charges strangely enough, to be sure, that "the most of the delegates were Buchanan men in dis guise!" If this be so, then is Mr. BUCHANAN destined to sweep the State by an immense majority. He will get the votes of all the Democrats and many of the old line Whigs, .s.nd if, in addition, the Know-Nothing or American vote should be for him, he would have a majority in the State equal to that of Col. MOTT, in 1854, which wee almost too large to count! We think Mr. DARLINGTON concedes too much to the Democratic nomi neee. We have no doubt that there are many . Americans who, if the contest is to be nar rowed down to FREMONT and BUCHAN AN, will vote for the latter in preference to the Abolition Disunion candidate—still we do not expect 'so unheard of a majority as that given to Col: MOTT, which was, we believe, over one hundred and ninety thousand! We do not claim so high a figure as`that, and shall be content with a majority of from fifty to sev enty-five thousand, which is quite large enough for all useful purposes. An Explanation In giving place to the following •communi cation, we deem it proper to say that we had no "reference whatever to the writer thereof, in our remarks last week—as we were well aware that he was not connected with the Lan cpsterian at the period to which we alluded; nor did we, at the time we hurriedly penned the article, for a moment dream of wounding the sensibilities of either himself or any other gentleman. The cause of our remarks is well known; and, (it is scarcely necessary to add,) our sole object was to place the Intelligencer, which had been misrepresented by the New York Herald and its correspondent, right upon the record—and not to assail, in any form, this, that, or the other person. We may have been obscure in the language employed - to ex press our ideas, and it may be liable to mis construction; but, if so, it was an error of the head and pot of the heart, and should not give offence where none was intended. We can most cordially extend the right hand of fellowship to every Democrat who is now supporting, with hearty good will, the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, and shall say or do nothing which can be fairly or legitimately construed into a contrary course on our part. We are heartily willing to let by-gones be by-gones, and shall endeavor to do full and ample justice to all our friends, no matter what may have been their former predilections on the subject of the Presidency. At the same time we shall not fail to defend Mr. BUCHANAN from the assaults of the New York Herald and the slanders of its Lancaster correspond. ent. But to the communication : LANCASTER, Aug. 6, 1856. OAPS. Gao. SANDERSO:t:—In an article in the Intelligence, - of this data, under the head of "Personal," in speaking of the course of the Lancarterian, in reference to Mr. Buch anan, in 1852, you say: "That paper was controlled at the time by a gentleman who /A now actively and ardently engaged in the eledtlon of Mr. BUCHANAN. This fact, of itself, is sufficient to show that the slanders in ghestion were of the silent kind of fabrications, and are so acknowledged by the author him self at the present time." Will you be kind enough to inform your readers that my connection with that paper commenced on the 21st of April,lB62,—three months after the publication of the arti cles which are now quoted Li the Express in reference to Mr. Buchanan. During the time ttA Lanctuferian was under my control there were no articles pmdished which I am willing at this time "to acknowledge as tie. tiled kind of fabrica tions." lam yours, very respectfully, tiiir Since the above was in type, we re ceived a commUnication from Mr. H. S. Myers, formerly of this city, but now . of Philadelphia, in which he claims the paternity of the arti cles in the Lanca.sterian to which we refered in our last, and repeats his confidence in their truth. We were not aware he was the author; but as he thinks proper to avow himself such, we suppose no person in this community will be anxious to divide the honor with him, save and except, perhaps, the Cassius-looking corres pondent of the New York Herald. at. Amongst the able and eloquent speak are of the present campaign, in Western Penn sylvania, is COL WILSON M'CANDLESS, of Pittsburg. He is doing yeoman's service in the glorious cause of the people, and will make himself felt wherever he goes. -I.llaok Republican Tactic'. The Examiner is exceedingly anxious to di vert public attention from its own tergiversa tions in politics, and also from the disunion doctrines which are pre4ched up by its fellow laborers in the Black Republican cause--hence it has raked up, from the musty records of more than a quarter of a century, an old file of Niles' Register, of Jan. 10, 1829, to show that Mr. BUCHANAN and the entire delegation from Pennsylvania (with a single exception) then in Congress, voted for the consideration of the following resolutions : Be it Resolved, that the committee for the District of Columbia be instructed to take into consideration the laws within the District, in respect to slavery ; that they inquire into the elava trade as it exists in, and is carried on through the district ; and that they report to the House, such amendments to the existing laws as shall seem to them to be just. Resolved, That the committee be further instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law, for the gradual abolition of slavery within the District, in such manner that the interest of no individual shall be in jured_ thereby. Now, when it is recollected that, at the previous session of Congress, a petition signed by more than ono thousand inhabitants of the District of Columbia, was read, praying for the gradual abolition of slavery therein— that Mr. BCCILLNA.N and the- - rest of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress were merely voting, to consider the resolu tions—and, more than all, that Black Republicanism or Abolitionism had not yet commenced its hellish warfare upon the Constitutional rights of the Southern States —is there, any thing objectionable in the course of Mr. BUCHANAN, on this question, more than twenty seven years'ago ? We cannot, for the life of us, see the inconsistency about which the Examiner is prating so much, evidently for the purpose of smoothing over its own in consistency on this very slavery question.— The resolutions were merely resolutions of enquiry into the expediency of providing by law for the gradual abolition of slavery in the !District of Columbia. Mr. Buchanan's vote in the affirmative did not necessarily commit him to the support of a bill, should one be re ported by the committee, to abolish slavery in the district. The committee, we believe, re ported adversely; but had they reported favor bly, we have no doubt Mr. BUCHANAN would have been found, where he then was and where he has ever since been, on the side of the Constitution and the Union, and in opposition to fanaticism of every kind. But the Examiner omits to state a very im portant item in the history of the above men tioned Abolition movement in Congress. It has strangely enough overlooked the fact, that the preamble, which really centilitre all the objectionable part of the proceedings was stricken out by an overwhelming majority— Mr. BUCHANAN amongst the number—only 37 votes being recorded in its favor. After, or before this was done, the consideration of the resolutions was agreed to by a vote of 104 o—and this vote for the resolution of con sideration was carried by Southern as well as Northern votes—but did not commit the mem bers so voting in any way to the Abolition side of the question. Mr. Darlington should have likewise stated that, at that day, long before the dangerous agitation of the Slavery question commenced, it was the uniform custom in Congress to vote in favor of referring all these questions to the appropriate Committee; but nobody ever dreamed that, by so voting for the reference, a member was committed to vote for a bill, whatever might be its character when repor ted. Mr. BUCHANAN was not in the City of Washington, at the time the vote was taken, and did not "dodge" the question, as the Examiner would intimate. Had he been present, he would doubtless have voted in such a way as to show his hostility to Abolitionism in every shape and form and his friendship for the Constitutional rights of all the States. We advise the Examiner to investigate Mr. BUCHANAN'S record from 1834, when the sla_ very agitation really began to assume a serious aspect, until the present time—a period of twenty-two years—and try if it can find any in consistency in his course. We think it would puzzle the conjoint astuteness of Mr. Darling ton and his new ally, Thaddeus Stevens, to fix upon a dingle act, during all that time, by which Mr. BUCHANAN could be identified, directly or indirectly, with Abolitionism. Will the Examiner explain, for the benefit of the public, the cause of its sudden change from Constitutionalism to Sectionalism—from Whiggery to Abolitionism—from being a vio lent opponent of Thaddeus Stevens, Wm 11. Se ward, David Wilmot and their principles, to that of a bosom friend of these Disunionists, and an advopate of their sectional candidates and the platform they established at Philadelphia a few weeks ago. An explanation of this kind we doubt not'would benmuch more satisfactory to the readers of the Ex'aminer, at the present time, than the publication of a Congressional vote in 1829, or the resolutions of a Lancaster meeting (at which Mr. BUCHANAN was not present, although his name was used without his knowledge or consent,) in 1819. Will the Examiner give us its own record for the last twelve months? We shall not ask it to go any farther back. Wilson McCandless. Nomination of Mr. Rowe The Democratic State Convention met at Chambersburg, on Wednesday last, and placed in nomination JOHN ROWE, Esq., of Franklin county, for the office, of Surveyor General, to fill the vacancy on the State ticket occasioned by the declination of Mr. Ives. The nomina tion was made on the Bth ballot—the vote being for Rowe, 60 ; Murray Whallon, of Erie, 49 : Wm. T. Alexander, of Clarion, 4. It was then unanimously endorsed by the Convention. Mr. ROWE is a highly intelligent, honest and upright citizen of Franklin county, uni. versally esteemed by all who have the pleas ure of his acquaintance. He was formerly a member of the State Legislature from his county, and represented his constituents with fidelity and ability. His moral and political charaoter are beyond reproach—and no man in the State could have been selected who pre sents a cleaner record whether in private or' public life. His election is a foregone conclu sion. The Aegister d' Citizen, the Kfw-Nothing organ per se of this city, has at length given evidence of a willingness to cave in to the Black Republicans—at least so far as a county ticket is concerned. A fusion ticket may therefore be expected in Lancaster county, which will be made up of the odds and ends of all factions opposed to the Democracy and the friends of the Constitution and the Union. The Know- Nothings are virtually sold to the Black Re publicans and Maine Law men. Even our esteemed neighbor, Wm. R. WILSON, Esq.,if the last Saturday Express, the mouth piece of Black Republicanism tells the truth, has given up his hostility toe fusion of the discordant elements of the opposition, and is now shout ing loudly for a union of all the NYM. B. WILEY "black spirita and white, blue splrita and grey," which have heretofore been fighting the battle of Know-Nothingiem, Niggeriem and Maine Lawiern, each OD their own hook. The next movement we have no doubt will be, fusion Electoral ticket, which we sincerely hope will be the case, as we prefer defeating the whole batch of oppositionists in a.body, rather than beating them in detail. The Fusion Complete A Picture of Dlsuition. FROM GEN. JACKSON'S FAREITE.LL ADDRESS. In his farewell address to his countrymen upon retiring from the Presidency, the patriot statesman and hero of the Hermitage said: " What have you to gain by division and dissension? Delude not yourselves with the hope that a breach once made, would be af terwards easily repaired. If the Union is once severed, the separation will grow wider and wider ; and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legis lation, will be tried in fields of battle, and determined by the sword. Neither should you deceive yourselves with the hope that the first line of separation would be this perma nent one. * * * Local interests would still be found there, and nrichastened ambi tion. And if the recollection of common dan gers, in which the people of these United States have stood side by side against the common foe—the memory of victories won by their united valor—the' prosperity and happi ness they have enjoyed under the present Constitution ;—if all these recollections and proofs of common interest are not strong enough to bind us together as one people, what tie will hold united the new divisions of em pire, when these bonds have been broken and this Union dissolved? The first line of sepa ration would not last long ; new fragments would be torn off—new leaders would spring up—and this great and glorious Republic would soon be broken into a multitude of pet ty States, armed for mutual aggression— loaded with Ores to pay armies and leaders— seeking aid against each other from foreign powers—insulted and trampled upon by the nations of Europe—until, harrassed with con flicts and humbled and debased in spirit, they would be willing to submit to the dominion of any military adventurer, and to surrender their liberty for the sake of repose." From Daniel WeMiter's Reply to Col.' Mayne. • " W hen my eyes shall be tunred to behold for the last time, the Sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dis honored fragments of a once glorious Union— on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent —on a land rent with feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood. Let their last feeble and lingering glance, rather, behold the gorgeous ensign of the Republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced—its arms and trophies stream ing in their original lustre—not a stripe era sed or polluted, nor a single star obscured— bearing for its motto no such miserable inter rogatory as, What is all this worth ?—nor those other words of delusion and folly, Lib erty.first, and Union afterwards. But every where—spread all over in characters of living light—blazing on all its ample folds, as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole heavens—that other sentiment, dear to every true American heart—Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." New Jersey State Convention The Democratic State Convention met at the city of Trenton, on the 6th :inst., and unanimously nominated Col. Wm. C. ALEX. ANDER, of Mercer county, for the office of Gov ernor. The nomination was received with en thusiasm by the vast assemblage of freemen who were present to witness the proceedings. An electoral ticket was also formed. Strong and patriotic resolutions were unanimously adopted, sustaining the principles of the Dem ocratic party, and the nominees pf the Cin cinnati Convention, Messrs. BUCHANAN and BRECEINRIDGE. After the Convention adjourned, a grand Mass Meeting was held, at which over 10,000 persons were present. Hon. SAMUEL SMITH, of Tenn., Senator BIGLER, of Penn'a., Jous VAN BLREN, Esq., and Hon. JOHN A. Dix, of New York, and several other distinguished speakers delivered addresses. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed through out, and no doubt is entertained of the trium phant success of the Democratic party in New Jersey at the ensuing State and Presidential election. IDOL. The Fillmore men in this city and 'in many parts of the county are determined to keep up their organization, and, so far, posi tively refuse any affiliation with the Black Republican Woolly Horse faction. Several of their would-be leaders have attempted to sell the party out to Stevens, Darlington, Fenn, Geist S: Co., but the masses have rebelled and kicked these mercenary and treacherous lead ers overboard—thus evincing an honesty of purpose and decision of character which is highly creditable to them as freemen. What the result of all this will be, time only can determine. The Woolly Horse clique above alluded to are determined to whip the refracto ry Fillmorites into the traces, and compel them to do their bidding. But we doubt whether they can accomplish with the rod what they have so far failed to do with promises. We incline to the opinion that there is a backbone in the Fillmore party, and that they never will permit themselves to be dragooned into the support of a faction entirely destitute of correct principles or common honesty, and whose triumph at the Presidential election would sound the death-knell of our glorious Union. Letter from James B. Clay, Esq., to a gentleman in this City, dated ASHLAND, unear Lexington, Ky.,l August 5, 1856. Dear Sir—Although you are a stranger to me, I cannot refuse to answer the letter dated Ist inst., which you have addressed to me, because you tell me you were a warm friend of his father, and he had no friend to whom I, my son, do not feel gratitude. As the very best answer to your letter, I enclose you a printed copy of a speech I re cently delivered in Maon county in this State. It contains at length my views and opinions. In them I may be wrong, but, if I am, God knows that, asking nothing, seeking nothing at the hands of my countrymen, I am at least honest in my con victions. I ask no man to follow me—but, so far as I am concerned, I place our glorious Union immeasurably above all parties and all men. I am, very respectfully, Your obt.-svt., To W. H. Esq. JAMES B. CLAY. anz.The Black Republican Maine Law or gan of this city, the Saturday 'Express, is amusing its readers by quoting toasts drank at a Democratic Celebration of the 4th of July, in this city, twenty-nine years ago, by Col. REAR FRAZER and several other Democrats ! These toasts bore a little hard on Messrs. AR AMs and CLAY, and are now hunted up for the purpose of proving that Mr. BUCHANAN was an enemy of the great Kentucky statesman ! It is too far-fetched to be of any use at the present time. The opposition must indeed be hard:run for argument, to sustain their droop ing cause, when they are obliged to go back nearly the third of a century, and re publish volunteer toasts drank at a political celebra tion where Mr. BUCHANAN happened to be present as the reader of the Declaration of Independence. • The Know. Nothing Convention The Fillmore and Donelson State Conven tion, asshmbled in the Hall of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last, and the Hon. Andrew Stewart, of Fay ette, was chosen President. He made a short address on taking the chair, and congratulated the delegates upon the prospects of the suc cess of their cause. John R. Eddie, of Somerset, offered a reso• lution, to the effect that it is inexpedient at this time to place an electoral ticket in nom ination, which was laid on the table by a vote of 72 to 18. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for Electors with the following result: Hon. Andrew Stewart, 1 Senatorial. • Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll. 1. A. J. Flommerfelt. 14. To be filled. 2.

It is one of Mr. Buchanan's prime recom mendations, says the Philadelphia Argus, that he is the Pennsylvania Candidate. Not merely the choice of the Keystone State, he is also a perfect representative of the charac teristics of Pennsylvania. He was born and raised in her midst, taught in her schools, ed ucated in one of her seminaries of learning: imbued with legal learning by one of her most eminent lawyers. He has spent every hour of his life in Pennsylvania, except when the public business of the country has called him away. He has practised law in her Courts, helped to make her laws as a member of her legislature, is familiar with all her history, and all her institutions. His, relatives, and principal and dearest associations are all Pennsylvanian. The fondest and best, and most joyous memories of his life centre in this State. This State is the scene and sphere of all hie future hopes. He expects to die here, and to lay his head on Pennsylvania soil.— His whole career proves hini to be thoroughly possessed with. Pennsylvania feelings and principles. On all subjects of political or national concern, James Buchanan has re flected the opinions of Pennsylvania. He has always been with his own State, in every emergency and occasion. His fundamental character, his modes of thought, his habitual sentiment and state of feeling, his appearance, and his manners are all eminently Pennsyl vanian.i The whole world looks upon him as the very type and representative of the Key stone State. Every body knows, that when elected, he will administer the affairs of' the nation in the very spirit and style of Pennsyl vania Democracy. Now this is enough to secure the confidence of all calm thinking men. For the steadfast, benign character of the good ohroommon wealth of Pennsylvania is well known and appreciated by the sister States. She cannot boast of such a galaxy of past statesmanship as Virginia, or such literary brilliancy and rapid enterprise as Massachusetts. She lays no claim to the "middle age" chivalry of South Carolina, nor does she habitually vaunt her greatness like New York. But as Webster said, " There she is—behold her, and judge for yourselves." No State in the Union equals the uniform benignity, fairness, and simplicity of her domestic institutions. Her Judiciary has always been famed for learning and wis dom. Her system of laws is everywhere cop ied for its simplicity and equity. She led the way in amelioration of criminal law and crim inal discipline, and the world is but copying her example. No stain of religious intoler ance ever disgraced her Statute book or her history. Her population is famed for its in dustry, quiet, good morals, sturdy republican ism and love of order.. Supercilious Yankees, or Virginians, sometimes have sneered at the " Pennsylvania Dutch," and people outside our State have talked about our ignorance.— But the fact is, no State in the Union ever ex celled our rural districts in strong common sense—and this is proven by our State Insti tutions and our State Politics. Amidst all the sectional agitations that have lashed the' waves of opinion North and South, Pennsyl vania has been a breakwater. When all the skies darkened with the driving clouds of threatening Abolition, or Free Soil, or Nulli fication, or Secession, and when the night of disunion seemed coming on apace, always amid the roar and darkness, old Pennsylvania has raised up her giant self to protect the Con stitution, and her honest voice has called on her sisters to take heed and come back to rea son. She has never proved false to National ity. She could not possibly do so. For she is placed right at the Nation's heart. The Nation was burn and cradled in her lap.— Disunion would make her a frontier State, whereas now she is the topmost stone of the vast Arch. At all hazards, to the last extrem ity, while a rag of the starry banner remains untorn by the winds of discord and strife, Pennsylvania must, and Pennsylv'ania will, be true to the whole Union. She is as conser vative, moderate, and conciliatory, as she is Union loving. Unaffected by the gratuitous fanatioisms of the North, or the provoked ill tempers of the South; she is always forbearing and impartial. Such a State does James Buchanan come from, and live in, and embody in hie own character. Who can doubt, then, the charac ter of his Administration in the very spirit and temper of Pennsylvania Unionism and fairness. It will be a dignified, pacific, benign Administration. Peace will spread smiling all over the land. Strife will subside. State and sectional jealousies will be allayed.— Abolition agitation and agitators will be rebuked into silence and impotence. North and South will shake hands more cordially than ever. Under the auspices of honest old Pennsylvania and the venerable President whom she furnishes to the Union, all the diffi culties about Slavery and Kansas will become the half forgotten incidents of the past. Citizens of Pennsylvania ! You know the reliable excellence of your own honored Com monwealth. You know she is National, fair and peaceful. You know, too, that James Buchanan is, in every respect, and eminently a Pennsylvanian. You know his spotless character, his blameless life, his proverbial amiability and equity of disposition, his anxi ety for peace, good order and general content ment. We need not make strong appeals to you. You will delight- to do honor to the most distinguished and the favorite son of our glorious Commonwealth. And as all our sis ter States respect and love l Pennsylvania, let them testify their sentiments by helping to elect James Buchanan—a perfect type of his State. Public Opinion A vote was taken on the night train, one week ago, between Philadelphia and Lancas ter, at the instance of a Fillmore man, with the following result: Buchanan, . Fillmore, . . Fremont, 8 The same night a vote was taken on the train coming eastward from Harrisburg, which resulted as follows : Buchanan, • Fillmore, . . . 35 Fremont, . . . 19 A Joyful Riddance Our quondam friend, C. M. JOHNSTON, of Drumore, after being an eye-sore to the Dem ocratic party of this county for many years, has formally given in his adhesion to the Black Republicans, and is now shrieking loudly for Fremont and Free Niggers. His card appears in the last Woolly Head organ of this city. Charley might as well have saved himself the trouble of writing and publishing his letter of withdrawal, as the Democratio County Committe, well aware of his predilec tions, had intended expelling him from the body. He, therefore, only made a virtue of necessity, and saved exposure by anticipating their action. This man, as we intimated above, has been an eye-sore to the Democratic party, to whose skirts he clung, for many years—sometimes voting the ticket, at other times opposing it— and at all times uncertain and unreliable.— The Democracy of the County have long de sired to,get rid of him, and now they will re joice that he has at length found associations more congenial with his habits and inclina tions. We shall gain a dozen good and true Constitutional men in his place in his own neighborhood. The Value of the Union In a Commercial Aspect. What is the value of the Union in dollars and cents ? That is the question which some of the leading papers in this section are now discussing. They are endeavoring to persuade , the North that, in a commercial point of view, it can do without the South, and that, su far as pecuniary profit, and loss are concerned, the dissolution of tire political ties which now unite them, would .be no great evil—if not a great blessing. This is a sad sort of logic to use in a Presidential canvas. That surely must be a bad and a wicked cause which is compelled to calculate the worth of the Con federacy as one of the conditions of its suc cess. We do not mean to engage in this nor did speculation. The whole thing is abhorent to one's patriotic instincts. But since an ef fort is making to underrate the Union in its mere money value, we shall state some facts which may serve to prevent the people :of this section from being deceived by the repre sentations of those who would-convince them that the trade with the South is of no impor tance, either to the free States, or to the wealth, power, and greatness of the whole Republic. Any one who has any adequate knowledge of the foreign and internal commerce of the country, must be aware that the commercial strength of the nation is primarily dependent on Southern labor and staples. Indeed, the one article of cotton is the ruling element of the commerce of mankind. It is the barome ter by which the mercantile operations of Christendom are guaged and regulated, the price of this commodity at Liverpool, at any time, being the standard which elevates or de presses the scale of the world's industry and exchanges. Why this is so we can very read ily demonstrate by merely stating a few well authenticated statistics, leaving reflective read ere to draw their own conclusions. Taking the returns of the last census, which are 'less fa vorable for our purpose than later results, but more conveniently accessible, we find that in 1849—'50 the cultivation of cotton and its preparation fur market employed about 800,000 laborers, 85 per cent, of whom were slaves. It required to feed and clothe this force, produce valued at $25,000,000 ; the sup plies being derived principally from the North and West, which received the price paid for them. The entire crop of 1849—'50 was 993,- 312,000 lbs., valued at $112,430,600. This crop employed in its transportation along the Gull and Atlantic coasts 55,000 American sea men, and 1,100,000 tons of American shipping, or about one-third of the entire tonnage of the nation in 1850. This is exclusive of 120,000 tons of steam tonnage and 7000 persons en gaged in transporting cotton by steam naviga tion to Southern shipping ports, to say nothing of railways. At the same period there were not less than $80,000,000 invested in the bus iness of cotton manufacture, chiefly in New England. This capital maintained 100,000 operatives, male and female, whose joint annual wages were $17,000,000, and the pro duct of whose labor was worth, at a low esti mate, $70,000,000. There were besides 25,000 or 30,000 persons in the United States who were employed and enriched in receiving, selling, and shipping the above amount of domestic cotton fabrics a In addition to the coastwise navigation before mentioned, there were 800,000 tons of mercantile marine of the country, owned chiefly at the North, occupied in carrying American cotton to Europe. In 1849—'50 the value of cotton fabrics made in our own factories and consumed in the States was $57,134,760. During the same period the value of the total amount of raw American cotton consumed in our manufactures was $24,340,800; while the whole amount of cotton fabrics consumed in our country—foreign and domestic—exceeded in value $82,000,000, three-fourths of the entire product being the creation of domestic industry. Again, the domestic cotton manufactures have not only exceeded, in the proportion of their increase, the augmentation of tha gross population of the country, as well as that of any other prom inent article of manufacture, but that increase, since 1826, in its relation to exportation, sur passes in value the whole increase of all other American manufactures combined. Moreover, the cotton crops of the States equals quite seven-tenths of all the cotton produced in the world ; while the portion yearly exported is about eight-tenths of the total quantity sent to market from all regions of the globe. Since 1821, our exports of cotton have multiplied nine-fold, white - the imports of foreign cotton goods have hardly more than doubled. Hence cotton is • rapidly cancelling one big item in the account of international trade in which the balance has been against us. We may add further, by way of comment here, that more than $48,000,000 of bullion and specie, over and above what has been actually expor ted, would have been annually needed, since 1824, for shipment abroad, to square ex changes with Europe, had it not been for the exportation thither of our raw cotton. The ag gregate of our exportations of raw cotton has, since 1805, increased' upwards of twenty-eight fold in quantity, and more than nine hundred per cent, in value. It is likewise noticeable, that tht gross sum of our importations of for eign merchandize has declined relatively to the increased exportation of American raw cotton. But cotton is but one of the staples of the South. Adding $30,000,000 as the val ue of naval stores, molasses and the tobacco, rice and sugar crops of 1849—'50, to that of the cotton crop for that season, and we have a total of $142,430,600 contributed by the South in one year to the wealth of the Union. This is more than the value of the entire ex ports of domestic produce, exclusive of speCie, in 1850—more than nine times. the value! of the total exportation of manufactures of do mestic produce in the setae year, and mbre than five times the value of the aggregate exports of breadstuffs and provisions in 1850. It is finally nearly equal to the value of the aggregate imports of 1850, which were $1134,- 032,033, the greater part of which came in thrmigh Boston, New York and Philadelphia, on which Northern merchants made their freights, insurance and profits, the South be ing ultimately the consumer of, and paying for nearly, if not quite, a moiety of the whole. Another notable fact is, that the exports l of domestic cotton in 1850, exceeded those of 'to bacco, and the whole products of agriculture, the forest and the sea added together. Ve have shown that the people of the North the shippers, the insurers and sellers of, well as the speculators in, cotton, and, course, ° the reapers of the great bulk of profit upon the article—the planter realiz ng the very smallest portion of the nett procee s. Let us see where, in this country; the cot on of the South is manufactured into cloth :nd the like. The gross value of our cotton m:n ufactures in 1850, was $61,869,184. Of this whole amount, Connecticut, Maine, Massa chusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and New York, produced 852,455,653—within a small fraction of the entire sum. The product of Massachusetts alone, was nearly $20,000,. 000. It is easy, therefore, to See whose indus try cotton supports, and what section of the confederacy it enriches. Here, then, is an exhibit which may well rebuke those who would undervalue the com mercial importance of the slave States to the general prosperity and wealth of the nation. And more especially should it silence those who, while they are declaiming against slave- ry, and uttering the most violent denunciation of the Southern people, are making their daily profits and accumulating fortunes by selling and carrying and manufacturing the products of slave labor. Without the South and its staples, the manufacturing industry and the commerce of the New England States would suffer a disastrous decline; while the South would experience but a temporary inconveni ence, in respect of trade, from a change of its present commercial relations with this section of the Union. But let us not even contemplate such a contingency. Let us cherish the be lief that the Union is indissoluble, and foster our loyality to it by every consideration of pa triotic pride and every hope of national pros perity and renown. Let us realize the assertion of Washington, that " the North, in an unre strained intercourse with the South, protected by the equal laws of a common government, finds, in the productions of the latter, great additional resources of maratime and commer cialenterprise, and precious materials of manu facturing industry, while the South, in the same intercourse, benefiting by the agency of the North; sees its agriculture grow and its commerce expand." Let us thus think and feel, and we shall then, in the language of Mr. Webster, hear "no such miserable interroga tory as ' What is all this worth" nor those other words of delusion and folly, Liberty first and Union afterwards."—Ereniny Journal. A Base Fraud Exposed A short time since the Black Republican journals (amongst the rest the Independent Whig of this city,) published a circular letter addressed to postmasters in New York, and signed by Perrin N. Brown, jr. The circulars set forth that it had been decided, after a " private consultation of the leadfrig DeMocrats of the Union, immediately after the adjourn ment of the Cincinnati Convention." to assess each Postmaster in the country for the purpose of securing the success of the Democratic tick et, stating the amount required, Sic., and closing with the request that " the name of some reliable leading Democrat in your town" be forwarded with a view of consuhink him hereafter. The whole thing bore upon its face the evidence of fraud and absurdity, and the trick was immediately exposed by the Washington Union. Notwithstanding this fact, the Black Republimin journals have con tinued to give the circular a prominent place in their columns, accompanying it with indig nant comments upon this "system of intimi dation and corruption," Sie. The following letter to the editor of the- Troy Budget, from Postmaster General Campbell, throws some light on " Brown, jr." Of course the Black Republican journals have given currency to the fraud will never : , et the matter right before their readers : POST OFFICE DEPARTNENT, July 12, 1856. I• DEAR SIR : Your letter of the 10th instant has just been received, for which I ant much indebted. The circular signed " Perrin M. Brown, addressed to the postmaster of Lan singburg, and forwarded by you. is an infamous fraud. There is no per son of that name in this city ; but some individual assuming it, engaged a box in the post-office here, with a view to aid in carrying out his dishonest purpose, and but fur the timely exposure which has been made--of, it, would no doubt have succeeded, to some ex tent at least. As soon as the matter was brought to my knowledge, I gave instructions for his arrest ; but he has not since ventured to call for his letters. If any are received, they will go to the dead letter office, and any money they may contain will be returned to the writers. I am, respectfully your obedient servant, JAMES CAMPBELL. The above presents one of the shrewdest frauds to raise money that we have lately seen. Our opponents must he hard up for means to " make Kansas a free State and to invent so snug a fraud " to raise the wind." What nest shall we have by way of "paying the interest upon California bonds ?" The Vote for President—The New York The New York Tribune having finished its political summary in the States and the pros pects therein as regards their Presidential vote, foots it up as follows : Fremont.

Callforma Now, Mr. Buchanan will carry every State set down in the " very doubtful " column of the Tribune, which will increase his electoral vote to 141. This, with Kentucky—which the Tribune wrongly gives to Fillmore, but which is certain for Buchanan by a large ma jority—elects that gentleman triumphantly. We say nothing about Maryland and Loui siana—given to—Fillmore—or of lowa, Cali fornia, Wisconsin, Illinois and Connecticut, which the Tribune marks down for Fremont, but which will go all of them for Buchanan and Breckinridge. Neither is it necessary to mention Maine, New HaMpshire, New York, Ohio and Michigan, in all of which our friends are sanguine and confident.- It is very evi dent, from the Tribune's calculation, that that usually sanguine journal has no , confidence whatever in Fremont's success, and that it is throwing out its feelers fur the purpose of preventing any of its friends from hazarding their pecuniary means upon the result. When Greeley cannot make any more favorable fig ures for his candidate than thosis above, it is evident that he is destined to a bad defeat.

We, es Peniteylvanians, bear the brunt of the battle which is going on between the Democracy of the Union, ou the one part, and reckless Ambition on the other. Thus far the work goal on well. The Keystone as ever does nobly. The canso of ri g ht and reason never wilt suffer from any thing done by her. It was a proud day for her when she was favored with the Presidential nominee. And prouder still will the day be, when she, by the assist ance of her sister States, elevates him to the Presidency.— The united efforts of thy entire Democracy are being con. centrated fur the purpose of securing to 131.1CUANSti the vie. tory. On the record of time will be left the doings which characterized the struggle for; Presidential success In the ear A. D. ISS6. To the youthful generations of Democracy id future ages, the unrivaled splendor of this ednquest of the Democracy over rhe opposition will be handed. This account of a bottle which teal fought by the millions of freemen. against the minions, Marshaled under the leader ship of dissatisfied, disappointed Mace seekers, will be re curred to as an example to them who havesthe management of our Republic in future ages! We may be told that "well enough should be left alone." But this Is a maxim liable to ten thousand misapplications; for had COLVIUMIS acted it out, lie would forever have been debarred the honor of his great discovery, and ran:Mined, where he began, in the merchant's service. WASHINOTOri, instead of being the -Father at his Country,' would only have been known as the farmer and surveyor. FRAIIILLIN would have remained the vender of candles in the chandler's shop, leaked of a chpying the highest positions ;at the Court of Prance, and Lie philosophic discoveries might yet be hidden from the ken of the world. JEITr.RSON bad he acted on the maxim, would hare remained the pleader at a country court, un known to the world, and his Oast plans for universal free dom hare remained iu obscurity' We say, had this maxim of ••well enough - been the regulator of those men, the world at the present day would deeply feel the effect. So, at the present day, the exigencies of the times require that one groat effort be made to place at the bond of our pro gressive Nation a full grown liutu,—one who is,ltiteliectu. ally as well as politically great — n man, who will have the 1.1 O iudependence and decision to de for the country's good! Btciotoise Is such an one! The people knew this, and the Cincinnati Ctonveution knew this when they selected him to lend the Ih:lll,e:racy onward to the success which Its principles insure. 1 Ito doubt the permanent sMbility of the Union, II the permanent stability of the Democracy is not upheld. If the oppesition, which is composed of all the factious In the country, should, by some uuaciouutable means, succeed In their present designs, then would the Union be endangered. The present we believe to be the crisis of our Nation's future greatness. And has it come todhis that the permanency of the Union is threatened—aud by whom? Tairreas! Is the e answer. The Black Republicite leaders are trailers —so are te Isiiow-Notlibig leaders, every one of them traitors!— Tl, opposition. under wbateser name Re followers have tweii mustmed, are traitors to their country and their Ood, it thee are so layered as to Intro one! They have laid rude and Inthallowed hands on the institutions of their country.' —they have become proscriptive iu their dogmaa, and are guilty o t base treachery to the institutions under which have been brought ujt and lire. We believe, front their ,ietious. that they Meditate the deetruction of Mid country: It 90 time that we should take itistaut and active measures, sh that WO may avert the ca lamities which atare as in the fare—that we May counter act the influence at work in l our midst—that we be pre p:iced to insist every enertUtelltuelit made by these mad tanatical leaders, and their pseir deluded followers.

National, [ohm hoeing Deniodiatic citizen of our glorious confederacy. lie has :Tent a Illelitite in the service of the Demooratic party. lie now is .ectriving the just reward 01 his services at the hands of his fond fellow citizens. The patriotic ardor, which Is charicteristic of Chu Daum:vatic party, burns enthusiastically as over; and to place RUM.. ASSN and ttRECKINIUDGE at thii heim of the Ship of State, is the desire which actuates them, and all of us, to present, urgent and active exertion. While on the combination of Black Republicans, Abolitiouiits, and. Knew-Nothings, as arrayed against hint, we have jut time to spare, as we wish to give to them such on examine of success On our part and defeat on theirs, that will coutpletely diteible theta in the four,: to do hurt. to our Justi atiOllS—the institutions of Washington and Jefferson. There is not a wan among us who would willingly see the dOstruction of the Union. We say so because we wean it. The Democratic party Is purged clean from traitors and enemiSs—they are all to be found in the ranks of the hated Opposition: The pure air of De mocracy is sickening to them and they would die politi ically in it. The renegades hove left 135—0 r rather, have b e en chased from the ranks; ste need them not; they but retard our onward impel:ow:4o and freedom, in their exit, has toady new acquisitions et! strength and permanency. They are now to be found in the ranks of the Opposition ; atter having expiated their relates, they may possibly be received into communion withlthe Democracy. We advilp them to du it quickly, they then lees to anima and repent for. To vote against thol . egularly settled can didate of the Democratic party ifs an unpardonable sin, and if it may he cr, pardoned it will require a fJi long service the Ltrmocno. ranks. IleWare then, dissatisfied men, how you act ; one act may plunge you politically into that channel, which, if you once color, the current will carry you down to eternal neglect. Xou have a glorious upper tdnity to retrieve lost honor. runty embrace it by voting with the Democratic party in this campaign, and you will have acted as you should. Wle pity the masses who are bring led away truce the auccieT iira landmarks of our.o.Dtical faith, and who are muds enure is to error, fanatici and treason to the country. Mies should be principle with. theta is no principle at all! Many who are thus led away' are willingly duped by the dunning of designing office hunters; others again are only drawn away by promises matte to them which are necerintended to be kept, and at need are very uncertain, considering the certainty of De co IN tN's success. Thus it Is that many are enticed, who, if acting on the suggestions of the friends to the Conatitu_ nun and common sense, were left alone, would Tote right and save their consciences the future remorso of having done a wrong deed, In the facolorjustice, light and reason. Many au honest man may have cause to repent the day he voted with the Opposition; becicuse, should that Opposition be successful, misery would entail itself on the land— daring proscription and mad recklessness would character lee the doings of that party, mat the united effort of States men, for enticing ages, would be required to rescue the Na tion, and place it on the same footing that It was previous to the advent of the opposition. Whether the National bonds, which bind us together, would dissulec, remains to be seen,. should they be euccessful. This seems to be the natural course their doctrines end in. We fervently hope we aro mistaken—Mu( the Ilismenthernient of our glorious Union may never take plate. But of one thing we are certain, acting on the supposition thatithe Opposition should suc ceed, and it is this, that the Constitution would be imp lated, and the country plungetl into irreparable ruin. It cannot be otherwise; the doctrines held by these fanatics would surely, if given full and unlimited away, result in most disastrous consequences. War, with England, would be inevitable—the National coffers would be beggared— industry, manufactures and ti-ade would be paralysed— starvation and intestine fella would be generated—and, finally our country would, at the end of four yearn, have received vital wounds In everyl part of its body. Freemen! think this picture not too highly drawn. Half the result of four years' misrule by the opposition has not been hinted at. It may be conceived, but , words are inadequate to pic ture such stupendous horrors.

The House of Representatives, last week, after rejecting Mr. Whitfield as a delegate from the territory of Kansas, to which he had been lawful!' and rightfully elected by the people of that Territory, refused to permit Mr. Reeder to occupy the seat from whichlMr. W. bad been ejected.— Why this channeof policy wa adopted by that portion pf the black-republican majority,lit is difficult to determine. The abolition party turned Mc. Whitfield out contrary to the laws of the land, and, why Ml'. Iteeder was not seated by the same unlawful means ils a difference In the two votes given by the dark-republican party, that we cannot comprehend. The deed, howeyer, Is now 'done, and Mr- Whalield will have to go thrdugh the process of a second election, merely to please the whims of the majority of the llouse, and also, for the fact, o its being made public, that the Committee on Elections with Mr. Washburn, 01 Maine, as guide, had decreed that .Mri Whitfield should be ejected. Having the power to do wron' and violate the laws and the decitlon of the people of Kansas In favor of Gen. W., the lurk-republican majority ke more pleasure in doing violence to law and justice, than in acting for their coun try in truth and propriety of deportment towards the dele gate the people of Kell.. eel sled to represent them in Congress. There haa been, no lack in tl e number of river and har bor and creek improvement bit a that have been passed the present week In the Senate. Hundreds and thousands upon thousands of dollars would be wasted to the country if these bills shall !recoil. las t s. It is believed, however, that they will not be reached n time and passed by the !louse. Should these waster I bills tio passed, and pre sented to the President, the only hope for the Treasury, is the noble veto power that Geri l'ierce wielders° well and so justly against improper aid hasty legislation. Ten times the amount 01 reveuue,las now raised from imposts upon the consumer, would not be sufficient in amount to meet the calls for these local river creek, and sand bar Im provements. They are beiouling more numerous every day, and from their success this session, you may not be surprised, Messrs. Editors, if Ma the meeting of the next session, that they will be so numerous, that one hundred million, of dollars will be rem 'red to !Sustain this "woful waste" policy and eSirtiVegall attending this system of local river improvements. There is some talk of an este Mon of the session beyond the 181.11 ult., being asked for o the part of the House.— , We sincerely hope it will not bo acceded to by the Senate. The majority in the House ahs responsible for the long waste of time that has already taken place, and even now, not satisfied with the mischief and discord they have al ready cast broadcast over the land, they tack improper amendments, (in "shrieks for fieedom" for Kansas,) to ap• propriate bills still causing more and more delay to the public business. The Senate) on yesterday, spent the 1 . whole day on an amendment o this kind, offered in the House by an abolition mem , Mr. Sherman, of Ohlo.— The Senate struck the amen ent out., Really, ifa stran ger should visit the present agrees , he must be struck with the importance of the teas Territory. The inter -1 ests of the thirty one States o this Union are of no me meat, no, not the least con nonce , to the "shrieks for freedom" that are put forth by the dark - republican party hour after hour In debate. I la time this farce should end, and the surest way to br git to a close will be for the Senate to insist on closing the session on the 18th inst., as determined upon by both gotutes some two weeks ago. The people will right all these wrongs done to the country by the dark-republicans, when they peas upon them at their next Coagreselonal elections for •seats In the 35th congress.
