TO THE DEMOCRATIC FREEMEN OF
THE CITY AND COUNTY OF LAN
CASTER.
In :pursuance of the authority given the un
dersigned by a resolution unanimously adopt
ed at a meeting of the Democratic County
Committee, held on Friday the first of August,
you are requested to assemble in the several
wards of the City, boroughs and townships of
the County, on
Saturday, 6th day of September next,
then and there to elect not less than three hor
more than five Delegates to represent each
6 ° district in a general County Convention, to he
held on Wednesday the 10th day of September
next, following, at 11 o'clock, A. M., at Silo
bees Hotel, North Queen street, in the city
of Lancaster, to settle a ticket to be supported
by the Democracy of Lancaster county at the
ensuing election. •
The several Township Committees are re
quested to give early attention in their re
spective districts, of the time and place of
meeting for the election of delegates.
By order of the Cdunty Committee.

The Progress of Fusion
The Know-Nothing, Abolition, Maine Law
fusioniste held their delegate elections on Sat
urday evening last. In this city, the Know-
Nothings Seemed to carry the day, having
oarried nine of the si±teen delegates.
A rich time maybe expected to-morrow
when their County Convention meets.
Ite..Several of our exchanges have made a
mistake in the name of the Elector of this
district. They have it Joseph Patterson—
whereas it should be JAMES Patterson. Will
they correct the mistake at once?
ME§..Mr. BUCHANAN was expected to reac
home last evening.
re.. The Philadelphia .4Veltv denies that
Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,
has taken groundfor Mr. Buchanan, and al
leges that he favors the election of Mr. Fill
more. We clipped the article from one of our
exchanges, and supposed it was true, hence
its publication in our last issue. The denial
of the News, however, does not settle the
question, as the New York Tribune of Wed
needay has the following paragraph in refer
ence that gentleman :
The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, having been
invited to attend a Fillmore meeting, declines
on the ground that, while he prefers Mr. Fill
more, he is not sure that he can be elected.—
Mr. Winthrop is "quite willing to await the
developments of another week or two" before
finally making up his mind as to whom he
shall vote for. At the same time does not see
how the success of the Border Ruffians or the
Republicans is to give relief to the country.
The New York Democracy
The Democratic meeting on Thursday even
ing, is represented as the largest meeting ever
held in the Park, in that city. It is estimated
that not less than 50,000 persons were present,
who were addressed from five different stands.
Great Meeting in Susquehanna County.
The Democrats had a great meeting at Mon
trose, Susquehanna county, on Monday last.
It was the first formal assemblage since the
opening of the campaign in Wilmot's district.
Five thousand Democrats were on the ground,
and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. The
national flag was unfurled to the breeze.—
The National Platform was advocated and en
dorsed. The glorious statesman, lion. D. S.
Dickinson, of New York, spoke with great
ability and effect. Hon. Chas. R. Buckalew
spoke to an immense crowd in the evening.—
Judge Morton, of New York, C. L. Ward, of
Bradford, & R. R. Little, of Wyoming county,
also addressed the assemblage.
Ellis B. Schnabel, Esq, followed Mr. Dick
inson • in a most able and fearless speech
adapted to.the occasion. Having co-operated
with Wilmot when the latter advocated the
Tariff of 1846, he was the very man to remind
Wilmot of his subsequent apostacy & disaffec
tion. He took Wilmot for his text, .and chal
lenged him to a discussion on the stump, which '
the latter very wisely declined. This is the
way to grapple with treason and disunion in
their strongholds. We thank Mr. Schnable
,for his bold speech.
The good work goes on ! Old Pennsylvania
will speak from all her hills for the Union in
October and November.' •
FALL OF THE FAMOUS •"
CHARTER OAK."—
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 21, 1856. The "Char
ter Oak" fell this morning, at a quarter before
one o'clock, with a tremendous crash, and but
• six feet of the stump now remains. This fa
mous tree was far past its prime when the
charter was concealed in it on the 9th of May,
1689, and was probably an old tree when Co
lumbus discovered the New World. It stood
upon the old Wyllie estate, now owned by
Hon. J. W. Stuart. Crowds of citizens are
visiting th'n ruins, and each one bears away a
portion of the venerable tree.

The following letter was received from Gen.
CAss, in answer to an invitation extended by
the Wheatland Club, to address the citizens
of Lancaster. It will be seen that the veteran
statesman, in consequence of previous engage

eloquent words of warning and counsel will
be heard in other sectiens of the Republic,
urging the Democracy to the faithful discharge
of their duty in defence of our glorious Union

ing men :
Boon SIR—I have just received your letter, and hasten
to say that it would afford me great pleasure to address the
citizens of Lancaster City and County, if it were in my
power. But it is not. I shall leave here on Monday, after
the, adjournment, and expect to address the citizens of
Baltimore on that evening. From there I shall proceed
immediately to Columbus, in Ohio, to attend a mass meet

take my part in the pend.ug contest.

As to Pennsylvania, silo will not prove recreant to her

But justice to herself as well as to the Union, will ensure
her earnest cooperation and aid in the triumphant result.

pable I
From the Washington Union, Aug. 20.
On Saturday the reports of the various De
partments in answer to Senator Bigler's res
olution were sent in to the Senate, and a cur
sory examination of the facts and copies from
the records therein contained justify us in an
nouncing that their publication will develop
some transactions connected with Col. Fre
mont's financial and military operations in
California of the most astounding character.
Heretofore there has been a veil of romance
—a sort of charm thrown around these trans
actions, whereby they have evaded public
scrutiny, and while we have been of opinion
that, under the glare of magnified achieve
ments and adventures, them were covered up
speculations and peculations of largo and
small degree, yet we confess we bad no ade
quate conception of what seems now likely to
be unfolded in the full light of day.
Heretofore we have been compelled to grope
in the dark, having only isolated facts from
which we might draw inferences or presump
tions, and, therefore, however well grounded
they might have been, still there was room
for doubt. • But in these reports the connect
ing circumstances and facts all appear, like
the links in a chain. They follow each other,
and bring the mind irresistibly to a conclusion
fatal to Fremont. ,
It has been a matter of wonder how a young
army officer, with no known or visible means
or resources, should suddenly be enabled to
establish a large "ranche," filled with herds of
cattle, &c., and enter into supplying Indians
with BEEF in unheard of quantities, and thus
be enabled, in a short time, to prefer a claim
against the government amounting to several
hundred thousands of dollars. Equally sur
prising was it that he should have money with
which to purchase a Spanish claim to sixty
odd leagues of land of fabulous value, the very
rocks and stones of which, we are told, are
glittering with gold! So, also, was it inex
plicable to the uninitiated, who are ignorant
of the manner in which "claims" against the
government are sometimes gotten up, how, in
a service of five or six months, a small battal
ion of men, numbering, perhaps, three to
four hundred, should incur liabilities on ac
count of "subsistence, supplies," &c., amount
ing to more than a million of dollars! But
these reports and accompanying documents
explain all. They unravel the mystery.—
•Horses by the thousand, cattle at the rate of
a beef a day for each soldier, and "other
things in proportion"—such are these claims,
nearly all, it seems, certified to as "correct
and just," and "applied to the public service"
by the immaculate Black Republican candi
date for President, John C. Fremont. But
notwithstanding the skill with which these
claims were gotten up, backed up by the cer
tificate of Lieutenant Colonel Fremont, and
the great influence brought to bear in their '
favor, it appears that only $140,000. or about
one-seventh part of the whole amount were re
commended for allowance and payment, leav- ,
ing some EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
STILL OUTSTANDING and unpaid, and which we
are quite sure will never be paid until John
C. Fremont is elected President.

justice to say, that it is a manly speech." Here
then, we get this conjunction : one of the fore.
most whigs of the nation in point of patriotism
and character, announces his determination to
give his vote to one who, according to Daniel
Webster, in point of character and standing,
is the foremost democrat !
Such is this splendid protest against a geo•
'graphical party, that will live and speak long
after the head that conceived it shall rest be
neath the sods of the valley. It is a great
blow. It comes down upon both wings of the
opposition with a stunning effect. Its char
acter is well described in the Traveller: "It
is by long odds the heaviest shot that has been
fired in the campaign, and it goes booming
and crashing through the timbers of the re
publican ship" in a way that startles her sec
tional crew and requires them tq summon all
hands to repair damages. But mortal pilot can
not save such a craft. She has no business in a
United States port. She flies a sixteen starred
bunting, and there is no such American coun
try to give her ships papers. Her destiny was
determined on at at Cincinnati ! But the
thing deserves a total wreck, su that designing
captains shall never refit her, and again de
lude a well intentioned crew. The shot
thrown into her hull between wind and water
by such gunners as Senators Pratt, Pearce,
Benjamin and Jones, and ex-Senator CIMATE,
and by other ex-senators and patriotic whigs,
will drive her on rocks that will split every
timber in her.

which we hope has been carefully studied by

and shingles from that Platform, in order to
show the kind of timber and material used in
its construction. May we not , wren the
hope that our neighbor will publish these
choice scraps from the Platform on which lie
stands, for the benefit of his readers :
SPECIAL PLANKS !
Ist Plank.—" If peaceful means fail us, and

ballots are useless, then we'll make bullets

.Erastus Hopkins.
2nd Plank..—" 1 detest slavery, and say
unhesitatingly that I am in favor nCits aboli
tion by some means, if it sends all the party
organizations iu the Union and the Union it
self to the Deed. If it can only exist by hold
ing millions of human beings in the must ab
ject and cruel system of slavery that ever
cursed the earth, it was a great pity that it
was ever formed; and the sooner it is dissolved
the better"—H. H. Addison.
3rd Plank.— Wus it not that the only hope
of the slave was over the ruins of this govern
ment, and of American church—the dis
solution of the Union was the abolition of sla
very?"—Stephen C. Foster.
4th Plank.—"A great many people raise a
cry about the Union and Constitution, as if
the two were identical ; but the truth is, it is
the Constitution. That has been the fountain
and father of our troubles. Sharp's Rifles
are better than Bibles."—Rer. Henry Ward
Beecher.
sth Plank.—" Remembering he was a
slaveholder he could spit upon Washington!
(hisses and applause.) The hissers, he said,
are slaveholders, in spirit, and every one of
them would enslave him if they had the cour
age to do it. So near to Faneuil Hall and
Bunker Hill, was he not permitted to-say that
that SCOUNDREL, George Washington, had en
slaved his fellow men r— 0. L. Raymond,
Black Republican Orator at Faneuil Hall.
6th Plank.—" It is the duty of the North,
in case they fail in electing a President and
a.Congresathat will restore freedom to Kansas,
to revolutionize the government."—Resolution
of a Black Republican meeting in Wisconsin.
ith Plank.—" I pray daily that this ac
cursed Union may be dissolved, even if blood

man at Poughkeepsie.
Bth Plank.—We are northern men, and we
have a Senator in Congress. lam for having
every man go armed, and if he is assailed,
shoot down hie opponent."—Mr. Brezester's
Speech at Fanueil Hall.
9th Plank.—The following resolution was
adopted at a meeting of Black Republicans of
Monroe, Green county, IVisconsin, on the 31st
ult.
" Resolved, That it is the duty of the north,
in case they fail in electing a President, and
a Congress that will restore freedom to Kan
saS, to revolutionize the government."
10th Plank.—"l have said, and take this
occasion to repeat that rather than consent
that the curse of human chattledom should be
taken into Kansas and Nebraska, I would
prefer to see the political elements crumble
into dissolution."—Cleveland Leader.
11th Plank.—" We earnestly request that
Congress, at its present session, do take such
initiatory measures for the speedy, peaceful,
and equitable dissolution of the Union, as the
exigencies in the case may require."—Black
Republican.
12th Plank.—" At a recent Black Repub.
Heart meeting in Auburn, Fred. Douglas said,
among other things, that it was the duty of
every slave to cut his master's throat."
13th Plank.—"l almost hope to hear that
some of their lives (emigrants to Kansas,)
have been sacrificed, for it seems as if nothing
but that would rouse the Eastern States to
act."—Cor. of Kew York Tribune.
1.4111 Plank.—" I. sincerely hope a civil
war may soon burst upon the country. I
want to see American slavery abolished in
my day; it is a legacy I have no wish to leave
to my children ; then my most fervent prayer
is that England, France and Spain may spee
dily take this slavery accursed nation into
their special consideration ; and when the
time arrives for the .4.4 gets of the cities of this
'land of the free and liome of the brave' to
run with blood to the horses' bridles."— W.
0. Duvall.
15th Planlc.—'q look forward to the day
when there shall be a servile insurnrction in
the South, when the black man, armed with
British bayonets., and led on by British officers,
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 vestige of slavery; and though I may
not mock at their calamity, nor laugh when
their fear cometh, yet I will hail it as the
dawn of a political millenium."—Josbna R.
Giddings.
16th Plank.—" No man has a right to be
surprised at this state of things. It is just
what we (Abolitionists and Disunionists) have
attempted to bring about. There is merit in
the Republican part;. It is the first SECTION
AL party ever organized in this country. It
does not know its own face, and it calls itself
national ; but it is not national, it is sectional.
The Republican party is a party of the North
pledged against the South. " Wendell Phil
lips.
The sixteen planks represent, the sixteen
States represented in the Black Republican
Convention, at Philadelphia. Having given
all the planks, we will now give a few of the
shingles that covered this most infamous as

disgrace the old Keystone by selecting it as a
place of meeting.
Shingles

free and slave states ought to be separated."
Y. Tribune.

overthrow of the Union,—Rev. T. Ross."

Vir If the editor of the Examiner and our
Black Republican neighbors generally want
any more of the planks and shingles published
in the Intelligencer, they can have them—as
we have plenty more of the same sort on hand.
We shall be pleased to know their wishes on
the subject.
Amalgamation and Republicanism.!
One plank in the Slick Republican plr
form, whether adopted at Philadelphia or
elsewhere, is evident that there should be a
practical rnalg,amation of the white and
black races. We make a few extracts tualibw
I how they talk on, this subject. The Cincinnkti
Enquirer extracts tine following from the
Zeituny, a tiertnan Republican paper in
110 in :
•• our view of the principles of ReputJic
anism, we know of no inferiority of race in
regard to social and civil rights. In our eye
the negru and white races stane - side by side
and on an equality. The depreciating inferi
ority of the negro race exists only in the thi,o
ry of the so,ealled Democratic party of this
country."
That is a German editor's views of the case.
We now extract from the Dayton Empire,
(Republican)a few sentences to show howßlack
Republicans in that vicinity compare - negnies
with those same Germans whose votes they
are courting. The Empire says .
" A Fremont Black Republican, whose
'name we have, said to a democrat on Monday
that 'he would rpther his daughter shoUld
marry a nigger tkian a Dutchman any dap."
Another the's4me day told another demo
• crat that a nigger was a d—d sight- better
than a dutchman all the time.
Yet another of the same stripe told the Pro
bate Judge of this county, a day or two ago,
'that he would not feel at liberty to object objectfto
his daughter marrying a respectable negro,
no more than if he were white.' This is the
way Fremont men talk."
Henry Clay some years ago said that aboli
tionism would lead inevitably to amalgamation
of blacks and whites.
It is not long since we heard of a public
marriage of a black man with a white woman
in Boston ; and numerous other instances
could be referred to.
It will be seen by the above extracts that
the work of preparing the - public mind for
amalgamation is commenced by asserting that
"a negro is better than a Dutchman." And
another man says "he would rather let hie
daughter marry a nigger than a Dutchman."
Yet these same Republicans are boasting that
they are to have the help of the German vo
ters this fall !—Pittsburg Pod.
Infamoun
There is a paper published under the auspi
ces of the American Temperance Union, called
the " Youth's Temperance Advocate," which
is circulated in Sabbath Schools and :by thou
sands in other ways among children. In a
late number it contained, in a leading article,
the following monstrous lie :
" TUE PRESIDENTS.—AII the talk now is
about the new President; and we much fear
that while the minds of men are engrossd by
this, we shall be able to get but few meetings
for temperance. But we must not be discour
aged, or have the subject forgotten. We know
now how important it is to have men of good
princibles and right practice appointed Ito
public office ! The two most prominent can
didates for President, are
_ _ _ _
JOHN. C. FREMONT.
and
JAMES BUCHANAN
Mr. Buchanan is the caniddate of the Deno
credo party, and will go for the extension - tit
slavery. Mr. Fremont is the candidate of the
Republican party, and will oppose the extension
of slavery. These are the two great poidts
before the people and they will create a mighty
struggle next November. It is to be hoped
the right will prevail, and . the country saved
for honor and glory."
What a deliberate, wilful, monstrous lalrie
hood is here presented to deceive and mislead
the unsuspecting children of the land ! Here
are professed christian ministers deliberately
uttering the infamous lie that James Buchan
an " Ica go for the extension of slavery
Here, by men of whom truth at least is ex
pected, the sons and daughters of Democrats,
who are sent to the Sabbath School to recetve
religious instruction, are taught that the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency, who
never owned a slave, or lived in a slave State,
or uttered a word in defence of slavery, or
whispered a sentence in favor of itir extension,
or cast a vote which any honest man could
construe into a wish to support the institntion,
is meanly denounced as a slavery propagan
dist! Truly this is a depth of meanness and
mendacity and moral depravity which was
never reached even in politics until these "Po
litical priests" entered the field. Every intel
ligent man knows that neither James Buchap
an nor the Democratic party favors the
extensison of slavery. As theßelfast•Journhl
says, " both the history and principles of the
Democratic party afford a triumphant refuta
tion of this malicious charge. None know
this better than those who make it. The
recluse who thinks it thinks a lie. The stump
orator who speaks it speaks a lie. The editor
who publishes it publisPes a lie. The clergy
man who preaches it preaches a lie, and the
deacon who prays it prays a lie. All such
may well claim direct lineage from a noted
character often alluded to in the sacred scrip
tures, and properly characterized as the father
of liars,—.N. H. Patriot.

FREMONT'S CHALLENGE TO COIL MASON
CIUDAD DE LOS ANGELES, April 14, 1847.
SIR : An apology having been declined, Ma
jor Reading will arrange the preliminaries for
a meeting, requiring personal satisfaction.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
J. C. FREMONT,
Lieut. Col. Mounted Riflemen.
Col. R. B. Mason,
First Dragoons, Ciudad de los Angeles.
FREMONT'S CHALLENGE TO FOOTE.
Mr. Bigelow, in his life of Fremont, very
sagaciously suppresses Fremont's note and
challenge, but gives the reply of Mr. Foote,
which clearly shows that the note of Fremont
was a challenge. Mr. Foote's reply closes as
follows :
" If, after the statements you persevere in
the demand contained in your note, I shall
certainly gratfy you, though I shall, front
certain prudential considerations, defer a fork
mal acceptance of your proposition, until I
can leave the District of Columbia.
Your obedient servant.
H. S. FOOTE.
Senate Chamber, Sept. 28, 1850."
Fremont is doubly a duellist. What non.
sense it is to speak of this rash and blood=
thirsty young challenger as the properepan
to lead the country back to follow the exam 7

A Shriek for "Freeclom!" .. —The Black Re
publican meeting in Fulton Ball, on Wednesday evening,
was presided over by the erudite and luminous Know-Yo-
thing Attorney General of the State, whose published
opinlop are as "dear as glue to the uninitiated and un
informed masses of the otoilinUalty. This gentleman, upon
taking the chair, gave a hint shriek for Freedom, Free
Niggers and Flurnimer, which elicited still fainter applause
from the few Abolitionists present—the meeting being
mainly composed of IMOiattalt men, (attracted to the Hall
by.curiosity,) and by the friends of Mr. Fluimar.„ who were
also present in considerable numbers. in his remarks, the
Chairman alluded in complimentary Jgrins to the high
personal and social character .of Mr. BCCHANAN, which
brought down thunders of applause, leading strangers to
suppose that it was au out and out BUCHANAN meeting.—
When he mentioned the name of Mr. Frustum there was
also considerable approbation on the part of his Mends
present.
After the Chairman concluded, the meeting was ad
dressed by two strolling wooden nutmeg adventurers from
away down East, who were doubtless well paid for coming
up here to Pennsylvania to gull * the poor "Ignorant na
tivee," and who, from their manner, Ac., wore evidently
satisfied in their own minds (whether their audience were
or notO that they knew a thing or two more than any body
else! These two men called MARTINDALE and POMENOT,
who sport the prefix of "Honorable , to ,their eu
phonious names, failed to make any show of argument, but
had plenty of m 4.erepresentationin In their speeches. It was
an appeal to the passions not the reason, of their auditory—
and had its effect only upon a few weak-minded, impulsive
negrtreympathlr.ernAlltho ever and anon kept up a harmless
clapping of hands and stamping of feet and sticks in token
of their approbation.
The meeting so far as a demonstration for FREMONT L 9
concerned, was a failure. Being Court Week, there were
a great number of people in town, and if FREMONT has any
strength In Lancaster county it should have been exhibited
on that occasion, after the strenuous efforts made to get up
a "big meeting." Deduct the BCCEIANAN and FILLMORE men
present from the number, and we doubt whether there
would have been one hundred voters left to tell the into for

Quarter 5e3370113' Court.—This Court was
in session during the whole of last week. The cases befure
it were mostly of a trivial character, which ought never to
have been brought Into a court ofjustice. We give a short
synopsis of two or three of the utost important trials which
occurred during the week :
Com. vs. Thomas A. 3lcGee. This defendant was charged
with defrauding Edwha T. Reinhart, Cl Port Deposit, 31d.,
out of the sum of $B5O, being the value of a raft of white
pine timber, which the defendant had sold Reinhart, and
mid raft never coming to hand. The case was ably argued.
and the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty and county
for costs.
Com. vs. John Townsend. This defendaut is a very old
man, being over 70 years of age. lie was tried on the
charge of receiving stolen gooda, knowing them to he such.
The principal witness against hint Was a man by the name
of Iledricka, (one of the Gap gang,) he being the person
who sold the goods to Mr. T. A verdict of guilty was re
turned, but sentence was deferred, a motion for a new trial
having been made and granted.
Com. vs. Emma A. IVagner. This defendant, who is E
young woman of rather prepossessingappeanwice, was tried
on a charge of robbing Mr. John Wilhelm of about WU iu
money, which robbery took place on the night of the Ore
at the house of Mr. W., In Bust Chesnut street, in the
month of May last. This case occupied the greater part of
two days, and was given to the Jury on Saturday afternoon.
A verdict of not guilty was returned.
The trial of Oliver Clemson and Bill Boar, two of the Gap
gang, was called up on Saturday afternoon. A j ury was
empauneled, and the Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock
on yesterday morning. The Orand Jury made the Mllowlng
report on Saturday :
ll=
To go. Honorable Judges of the aort Quarter Serrians

The Grand Inquest enquiring for the August Ses
sions 1856 respectfully report:—That they have performed
the duties assigned them, and acted upon all the bills of
Indictment which have been presented for I heir consider
ation.
The Grand Inquest have visited the County Poorhouse
and Hospital, and with much pleasure bear testimony to
the excellent manner its which these institutions are con
ducted. Every attention Is paid to the comfort of their
unfortunate inmates; and tho cleanliness and good order
of these establishments, reflect much credit upon Mr. Tay
10r, the Steward and Manager.
They also visited the County Prison which was found
clean, in good order and well conducted.
The Grand Inquest beg leave to state that nanny of their
number, and they believe the public generally, having
business at the Court House, would be much .accommoda
ted, and their personal safety much increased by having
gas light constantly burning on the back stair way while
the Court is in session.
This Inquest cannot concur in the recommendation of
the last proceeding Grand Jury, in the propriety of remo
ving-the Poor House buildings. They do not think the
debt of the county, or the condition of the present build-,
trigs would justify such a change.
The Grand Inquest return their thanks to the Honora
ble Court, District Attorney, Sheriff, and all the officers
concerned in the administration of justice, for their
promptness, courtesy and fidelity in the discharge of their
duties.

Present to llr. Buchanan.—Two very large
Eagles, a present from the Democracy of San Francisco to
Mr. BUCHANAN, arrived here on Wednesday last, by Adams'
Express, and attracted a great deal of attention.. They are
fine specimens of that noble bird, and will, no doubt, be
highly prized by the distinguished recipient.

painting of Wheatland, the residence of lion—lames Bu•

as it was when the grounds were cleared and the house
erected by the lamented William Jenkins. The Artist is
Mr. Chakes B. Get; a native of Lancaster, but now a resi
dent of Baltimore. Ile is a master et' his profession, and a
young gentleman of fine talents.
Pole Raising in the N. E. Ward.—A beau
tiful hickory pole, measuring about WU feet in length, Was
raised at the Railroad Depot, on Saturday afternoon lost,
by a large number of the unterrilled Democracy of the
North East and the other Wards.
In the evening a large meeting was convened in front of
the North American Hotel, on Chesnut street. which was
presided over by Dr. Wekhans, President, resisted by the
other officers of Wheatland Club. Addresses were delivered
by Samuel H. Reynolds, Jacob B. Amwake, Jacob Myers,
George W. McElroy, Esqrs., and Cul. Wia. S. Amweg.—
CniefJustice Lawn happened to bo present, and Was In
vited to address the meeting, but he respectfully declined
on the ground that hie position as a member of the Judici
ary forbade him from taking so active a participation in
the campaign—at the same time he felt a lively Interest in
the struggle, and earnestly desired the election of the great
and noble standard bearers of the Democratic party, and
deprecated the sectional issue now, for the first time, pre.
sented in the history of the country. The Judge was most
heartily greeted by his old friends and neighbors.
The Wheatland Glee Club and Itepting's Band were
present, and interspersed the proceedings with some de
lightful vocal and instrumental music.
This meeting was the largest of the campaign which has
yet been held in this city. The number of persons present
was estimated at Dein 1500 to 2000, and this immense
mass was convened only after a few hours' notice. At a
late hour the meeting adjourned with rousing cheers for
the Democratic cause and its candidates.
Declinations.—We are authorized by Mr.
HENRY Sioux, of Rapho, to say that the announcement of
his name, in the Examiner of last week, as a candidate
for Prison Inspector before the ' , Union Convention,” to he
held in Lancaster, on to-morrow, was made without his
knowledge or consent—and that he always has been, and
still is a National man, and will support so sectional or
disunion party.
We also direct attention to the card of 'WILLIAM W. STEM;
Esq., declining to have his Wile brought before the en
called "Union Convention," for Associate Judge.
Won't Stand It.—We direct attention to the
advertisement in another column for the call of a Fillmore
County Convention, to settle a County ticket. Our "Amer
ican"sfrionds having discovered that they are about`being
wild to the Black Republicans, aro determined not to sub
mit to such degradation—hence the call. They feel, and
are resolved to net like freemen, and have a right to be
heard.
Wheatland Club
Tho Wheatland Club will meet at Concert Hall, North
Queen street, on Saturday evening next, at 8 o'clock.—
AS the members are requested to be preaent, as also those
wishing to become members.
Addresses may be expected from Hon. Benjamin Champ.

SANEL'EL WELOWENS, President.
Joan M. JOIDISTBS, H. S.
CAPT. SANDERSON—Dear Sir—As there will soon be a con
vent:ion of delegates to select candidates to fill the county
offices, the people of this section would recommend to the
people of the whole county and to said Convention, Jot
MCSPARREN, of Drumore township, as candidate for the of.
flee of County Commissioner. No commissioner has, for
a number of years, been taken from this part of the coun
ty. Justice to ourselves calls upon us to present our man.
Mr. McSvens•a has the Jeffersonlan qualifications of hon
esty and capacity, in a high degreir, and if elected would
zealously labor to perform the duties of the office matisfse.
torily to the whole people. We consider him the man.
Henry Clay on Disunion
Henry Clay had freely, on many occasions,
denounced the schemes of Abolitionism and
of a Sectional party. He said, in 1839
"Abolitionism should no longer be regarded
as an imaginary danger. The abolitionists,
let me suppose, succeed in their present aim
of uniting the inhabitants of the free states as
one man against the inhabitants of the slave
states. Union on one side will beget union on
the other, and this process of reciprocal`eon
solidation will be attended with all the violent
prejudices, embittered passions, and implaca
ble animosities which ever degraded or de
formed human nature. Virtual dissolution of
the Union will have taken place, whilst the
forms of its existence remain." *
"One section will stand in menacing and hos
tile array against the other. The collision
of opinion will soon be followed by the clash I
of arms. I willnot attempt to describe scenes
which now happily lie concealed from our view.
Abolitionist themselves would shrink back in
dismay and horror at the contemplation of
desolated fields,conflagrated cities, murd3yed
inhabitants, and the overthrow of the fairest
fabric of human government that aver rose to
animate the hopes of civilized man,"
In our last we promised to give the testimony of Jr./Tea
sea on the subject of African Slavery. Ma views on the
subject are worth knowing in these times of misrepresen
ted:to and political lying. The Abolition horde have at
times the unwonted nasurence!to quote the Bather of De
mocracy In confirmation of their repugnant doctrines.—
Were it possible for him tore-visit the earth, than would be
laugh to scorn , their barefacednees—their hypocritical,
sneaking and overwrought theories of political redemption.
As they have the audacity to refer to his writings in vin
dication of their 'course, and then, In almost the stuns
breath, to vituperate the memory of that illustrious Sage
and Democrat, we cannot better show them up than by a
recurrence to his works, where he contrasts the condition
of African Slavery in America with the Slavery of the lice
man Republic. By reference to the same work, from which
we quoted In our last, page 276, he says
The improvement of the blacks in body and mind, in
the first instance of their mixture with the whites, has been
observed by every one, and proves that their inferiority is
not the effect merely of their condition of life. We know
that among the Romans, about the Augustan age especi
ally, the condition of their slaves was much more deplorable
than that of the blacks on the Continent of America.. The
two sexes were confined in different apartments, because
to raise a child cost the master more than to buy one.—'
Cato, for a very restricted indulgence to his slaves in this
particular, took from them aleartsin price. But in this
country the slaves multiply as the free inhabitants. Their
situation and manners place the commerce between the
two sexes almost without restriction. The same Cato, on
a principle of economy, always (sold his sick and supers:l
- slaves, lie gives It as a Aerating precept, to a master
visiting his farm, to sell his old,oxen, old wagons, old tools,
old and diseased servants, and !every thing else becoming
useless. The American slaves cannot enumerate this among
the injuries and insults they 'receive. It was the common
practice to expose is, the Island -Esculapitts. in the Tiber,
diseased slaves, whose cure was like to beiome tedious. The
Emperor Claudius, by an edietoreve freedom to such of them
as should recover, and first declared that if ady person
chose to kill rather than expose them, it should be deemed
homicide. The exposing thenl is a crime of which no in
stance has existed with us; and were it to be followed by
death, It would be punished capitally. We are told of a
certain Vedlus Polito who, lu the presence of Augustus,
would have given a s lave as food to his ,fish, fur haying
broken glass.
"With the Rowans, the regular method of taking the
evidence of ttheir slaves was tinder torture. Here It has
boon tought better never to,j resort to their evidence
When a master was tuurderedi all his slaves, in the same
house, or within hearing, were Condemned to death. Here
punishment falls on the guilty poly, and as precise proof is
required against idol as against a freeman. Yet notwith
standing these and other discouraging circumstances among
the Romans, their slaves were kitten their rarest artists.—
They excelhal, too, in science, 'insomuch as to be usually
employed so tutors to their umster'S children. Epieetus
Terence and Pthisires were slaves. BUT tutu waltz or rug

servation will or will nut verify, the conjecture, that nature
has been less bountiful to them in the endowments of the
head, I believe that in those of heart she will be found to
have done them justice. That disposition to theft, with
which they hove been branded; must be ascribed to their
situation; mid nut to any depravity of the morel sense.—
The man, iu whose favor no lan's of Property exist, probably

- Jove fixed It certain that ,'whatever day

Notwithstanding these considerations which must weaken
their respect for the laws of property, we find among them
numerous instances of the most rigid integrity, nod as
many as among their better instructed waiters, of benevo

What a stinging reproof is not this to Black Republican
low, Abolitionism, Atualgamaticnism, and all the isms of
the day. We have given it almost entire, because of Its
impartiality. Let every one give the extract a careful

3Lr.ssas. &arms :—The Abollion and Maine Law papers
are crowing at a great rate, sirice they have found that
Chas. M. Johnson is going to sopport Fremont and Free
hi r
Niggers. Two years ago, when harbor stumped the coun
ty in opposition to Maine Law sm, no epitaph was too
mean for them to heap upon head. No doubt they will
now embrace him, and say, " hob do you do" Mrr. John
son, or brother Johnson': "Bolt as makes strange bedfel
lows." In title case it does. How Memo: Geist, Black,
Dr. Bfarkley A Co. can stood the -ompany of one who oppr...
eed a cause, that they oupporte, so ardently, we are at a
loss to know. But this much be do know, that if poor
Charley wore to come through this section, preaching up
Fremont and Free Niggerism, he need not count upon ro
ceiving the same cordial recepf ion, that he did when he
opposed Maine Lavilem.
ti,The people of this section love the Union and the whole
Union and they are going to thew that love by voting for
the only Union candidates betbie the people, namely IMES
BUCHANAN and JOHN C. BRECHINICHGH.
