THE DEMOCRACY of LANCASTER COUNTY, and all friendly to the election of BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE, and the Demo cratic State and County Tickets, will hold a Grand Mass Meeting, in the City of Lancas ter, (the home of BLCHANAN,) at - 10 o'clock, A.

Corn. $lB Per Diem I--Mr. Roberts , Record! On the 15th ultitho, the 'House of Repre sentatives, by a vote of 101 to. 98, passed a bill to pay themselves, instead of what Con gressmen have heretofore received, ($8 per day,) a salary of $6,000 for_the term, and mileage the same as formerly, the bill to date back so as to include the p‘resent Congress.— Counting the term of Congress (both sessions) at eleven months, which is a fair average, this new bill gives members of Congress • air EIGHTEEN DOLLARS a day, includ ing mileage, instead of the. $8 per day, here tofore allowed! This bill adds to the expenses of Congress for the last session, $773,- 0001 and for this iniquitous measure ANTHONY E. ROBERTS. the member from this district votedl By the operation, Mr. ROBERTS will have put into his pocket, on the 3d of March next, when his term expires, about $3,300 over and above the sum that has always heretofore been received by a Repre_ eentative in Congress! What think you of this, tax`-payers of Lancaster county ? Mr. ROBERTS was one of those who refused to vote an appropriation to pay the Army of the United States, and to keep up the fortifi cations, armories, Br,c., where thousands , of mechanics and laboring men are constantly employed ;—but he willingly voted to put the above-mentioned large amount of money in his own pocket I Think of this, working men of Lancaster county, when you come to de posite your votes in the ballot boxes on the 14th day of October. ice. By reference to our advertising col umns it will be seen that there are several very fine properties, in city and county, offered at pnblio see, which merit the attention of capitalists I The Congressional quesClon. Now that the prominent parties of the county have settled their respective tickets, it may not be amiss for the intelligent and inde pendent voter—unshackled by party ties--to look around and ascertain which of the tick ets thus settled is most worthy of his support. Premising that the immediate representative of the county in the National Legislature is paramount to all others, we propose in this article to have a plain, calm and impartial interchange of opinion with our readers, rela tive to the claims of the two candidates for Congress. First then, we shall start out with the old time but somewhat out of flishion inquiries, "Is he honest?" "Is he capable ?" In regard to the first question, we are free to admit that both candidates are unexcep tionable. In this particular they are well and favorably known to the community, and were it the only qualification necessary, both can didates would stand before the public without either having the vantage ground. But in regard to the second inquiry, how .diies the matter stand? With an admiration for Mr. ROBERTS' social characteristics second to none, we have yet to learn that he possesses the first essential qualification necessary to a well informed and enlightened legislator. In proof of this, we have but to turn to his Congressional record. What act of his claiming the respect or admiration of his constituents stands ecorded there? Beyond his bald and naked vote of yea, or nay, there is nothing to indicate that he had ever a Congressional ex istence. Fur all the practical and useful pur poses of legislation he was, and still is, a mere cypher, of easy disposition, and ready to be moulded in any shape that may suit the ulte rior and ambitious views of the able but dan gerous men whose lead he follows. We do not disposed at this time-to refer .to all his votes in. Congress. The investigation would prove an unpleasant if not an unprofit able one. Out/readers are familiar with them, and therefore comment is unnecessary. Suffice it to say, that, from first to last, he has inva riably voted with the enemies of the country and the constitution. Sectional in his feelings —bitter in his prejudices—the blind and wil ling follower of Thaddeus Stevens, he was, and is, the mere echo of that bold and bad man's opinions, and hence by his votes has ever outraged the feelings and the intelligence of the gteat mass of his constituents. ThE, crowning act of his political infamy, however, was voting himself THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FOR lIIS CONGRESSIONAL SERVICES.— This, if nothing else, should forever damn him in the eyes of a Lancaster county constituency. What think'.-the sun-embrowned, hard-fisted sons of the soil, of this extravagance? Eight dollars a day and mile'age insufficient for this would be patrician Representative! But let the man and the deed go. Both, if we do not mistake the intelligence and honesty of the people of Lancaster county, will be emphati cally condemned at the polls on the 2nd Tues day of October next. Turn we now from the record of this imbe cile Representative to his immediate predeces sor and present opponent. From Mr. HIES TER'S fiat debut on the floor of Congress, to the time he left it, he commanded the, confidence of his friends and the respect of his political opponents. Of acknowledged talent, he at once entered the arena of debate, and by his intel ligence—his unswerving fidelity to the inter ests of his constituents—and his manly espou• sal of the Right and condemnation of the Wrong, carved out for himself anational name and reputation, no less honorable to him thin it was to the County and State whom he rep resented. We challenge his most inveterate enemy, to point to one single act of his con gressional career inconsistent with the duty he owed his country—N l orth and South—his constituents, or the oath which, as a Union loving man, representing a Union-loving peo ple,he took to support the Constitution and the laws. Wilson McCandless While serving his first term in Congress, Know-Nothingism . raised its Hydra head in New York, and from thence spread rapidly through the whole country. Old party lines were broken, party ties sundered, and Air a season the new found faith spread through the land with the width of an ocean and th e rapidity of a torrent. In its onward course some of the best men in the country, North and South, were swept away. Others, refusing to leave the landmarks the fathers of the Re public had set, turned aside and let the rolling mass of corrupt ion and infamy sweep on. A few shrewd and unprincipled politician's, al ways on the alert for something new, mounted the.wave and rode into power. Mr. Roberts was one of these. In the first flush of Know Nothing success in Lancaster county, he iden tified himself with the order and became one of its most bigoted and vindictive ministers. To the honor of Mr. IllEsrsa be it said, he opposed first, last, and all the time, any fel lowship with it. With thousands of other good men, Whigs and Democrats, he set him self firmly against the new sect, and as a conse quence, was obliged to go down. His party in this county went with him ;—that party which for a period of over twenty years had never known defeat. Our readers are familiar with the events which followed the disruption of the Whig party in Lancaster county. Ilundreds of its members, warm hearted, noble minded men, of undaunted patriotism, and therefore unable to take side with sectionalism, sought fellow ship with the great Democratic party. National men, they planted themselves under the folds of the Democratic banner, determined to help bear it aloft at all peril and all hazard.— Among this noble band was Mr. MUTER. The Democratic party of Lancaster county, finding in him all the requisites of an able legislator, have unanimously placed him in the field as the NATIONAL, ANTI-DISUNION candidate for Congress. Will the free and independent voters of the county ratify this nomination ? or will they once more inflict a lasting disgrace upon the county, by electing, as their Repre sentative, a man notoriously incompetent,— a follower of the peculiar die-union and aboli tion doctrines of Thaddeus Stevens,—a Rep resentative who thinks EIGHT DOLLARS a day no adequate compensation for his yea and nay services in Congress. Let the people decide ! Religion and Polities The Methodist Episcopal Conference, which has just closed its session at Medina, N. Y., amongst other acts, as we learn from the Eve ning Bulletin, of Thursday passed the follow ing resolutions without a dissenting voice: 1. Resolved, That we view with intense solicitude and profound alarm the present po sition of the slave power. •2. Immediate, determined and persevering efforts in the Pulpit, through the Press, before the Throne of Grace, and at the BALLOT BOX, are demanded and shall be put forth. 3. That the great issue before the nation in the approachittg election is Slavery Extension, and we are called upon to set at the elec tion with direct reference to that issue. If this is preaching "Christ and him cruci fied," the great mission of Methodism in the world, then have we totally misunderstood the position of the church of our choice. . The third resolution which alleges that the " great issue in the approaching election is Slavery Extension," is false from beginning to end, and the Reverend politicians who en dorsed it knew it to be so when they made the lying assertion, or else they were too ignorant to know what they were talking about. Iltate - and'County Ttekets. In our great antiety for the election of Mr. BUCHANAN "and the preservation of the Consti tution and the Union, we must not lose sight of the fact that the result of the State election on the 14th Of October will have an important bearing on the Presidential election. The fact is now as clear as sunlight that there will be a fusion, to a great extent, of Premontiem, Fillmoreism, Abolitionisth and Maine Dawisrn against the Democratic State and County tick ets. We mast beat the piratical hordes—these Goths and Vandals—who would pull down the pillars of our glorious Union, and intro duce anarchy and civil war in place of law, and constitutional liberty. Rally then, Democrats, everywhere, and let your cry be, from this to the close of the polls on the 14th, SCOTT, Fey, Rows, and the Demo cratic county tickets.' Let us show our oppo nents that fanaticism has not bereft the people of Pennsylvania of their proverbial sober sense, and that there still exists an army of freemen in the old Keystone powerful enough to quell the treason and preserve the Union. Motley Crowd The great Wool Gathering—alias Fremont Mass Convention—was held at Pitts burg, on the 18th inst. The Convention was large, but did nut come up to the expectation of the leaders who gut it up. The Post says that the number of voters was not equal to the Democratic Mass Meeting which was held a few days previous. That paper has the stib joined estimate (taken by six different persons) of the numbers in the Procession : Men, 5,308 Minors over 14, 1,027 Women,l 4 9 Little irls, 523 Little Boys, 834 Negroes, 107 Infants at the breast, 13 Whole number, An Infamous Sentiment "The times demand that we should have an anti-slavery Constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God !" This infamous sentiment was uttered, it is said, by the notorious Abolition Congressman, Burlingame, who is announced as one of the " distinguished speakers" who is to address the Fremont Black Republican mass meeting, to be hel4 in this city on the Ist proximo. Such, tbllow-citizens of Lancaster county, is one of the leaders whom you are advised to follow by Messrs. Darlington, Stevens & Co., and who is taken by the hand by clergymen and religionists wherever he goes! May Heaven preserve the country from the influence of such Infidel Abolitionists. The Preachers who are aiding and abetting them are doing infinitely more harm to the cause of Religion, than all the writings of Tom Paine, Rosseau, Volney, and the whole host of Infidel writers have ever done, or ever can do. Great Meeting In Philadelphia, in Inde pendence Square! and Torch Light Procession I Sept. 17, 1856. This was the greatest demonstration ever made in Philadelphia. Large ' delegations from Lancaster, Chester, Delaware Bucks, Montgomery, &c., &c., and from New Jersey, Delaware and New York. The Pennsylvanian estimates the number of persons present at 50.000 I The meeting was presided over by GEORGE M. WitAirroN, Esq., (an old line whig. ) Amongst the Vice Presidents and Secretaries, we notice such old line whigs as Wm. B. Johnston, Theodore Cayler, Wm. B. Norris, Benjamin Gerhard, William Geisse, Isaac S. Waterman, John Shaffner, Josiah Randall, Thomas Snowden, Frederick Fraley, Joseph Ripka, William Shippen, Wm. F. Boone, Stacy Barcroft, Alexander E. Browne, William Sergeant, (son of the late John Ser geant,) and David Longenecker and William Carpenter, both of Lancaster; and J. IL Ber ryhill, of Dauphin. The speakers were Messrs. Cobb and John son, of Georgia ; Lowe and Stuart, of Mary land ; Preston, of Kentucky ; Floyd and Meade, of Virginia; Churchwell, of Tennessee; Riddle, of Delaware ; McKeon, of New York ; Riddle, of Massachusetts ; Brodhead, of Penn sylvania ; Moore, of Texas ; Wilson, of Cali fornia; Lane, of Oregon; and Schnabel and Magraw, of Pennsylvania. An immense Torch Light procession, about five miles long, and numbering many thou sands, took place at 8 o'clock in the evening— accompanied with several splendid Bands of Music and innumerable transparencies. A splendid display of Fire 'Works took place in Independence Square at the time the Procession was passing that consecrated spot —the last piece of which represented the Constitution over an Eagle, in the centre, with Democracy on the one side and Union on the other. Take it all in all, it was a tremendous out pouring of the masses, and the immense en thusiasm manifested shows that the people are alive to the vast importance of the ap proaching struggle for the Constitution and the 'Union. The Wheatland Club of this city, attended the great meeting, and attracted much atten tion. Their beautiful banner took the palm upon the occasion. The Club was accompanied by Hepting's Brass Band. Coming Down. The Black Republicans have been boasting very loudly that they would carry Crawford county by an overwhelming majority. They are beginning to cave in however, and now, after having gradually diminished from 2000 major ity, they admit that the Democrats may carry a portion of the ticket. The last number of the Meadville Sentinel says: Sometime ago, the lowest estimate put upon the majority for the Republican ticket in this county, by the leaders of that party, was two thousand ; and some even went up so hip as to claim twenty-five hundred majority. More recently they came down to fifteen hundred; and still more recently, the same individuals came down to one thousand, and this they de clared was as low as they would fall, let what might take place. But, after the Democratic nominations were made last week, these same gentlemen were forced to admit that the Dem ocrats might elect a portion of their ticket.— Surely, this is " coming down !" This shows how much sincerity there was in the game of brag which they have been playing at so strong for the past few months. That game and the game of reporting good Democrats in various parts of the county as having gone over to the Fremont party, are too shallow to win. You may as well give it up, gentlemen. Your dissolution schemes won't succeed in this community. The rapid change which has been guing on for the past four weeks in favor of James Bu chanan and the Union will not stop till Craw ford county is redeemed, and the entire Dem ocratic ticket triumphantly elected. YORK COUNTY Fem.—The annual exhibi tion of the York County Agricultural Society will be held at York, Pa., on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the let, 2d and 3d days of October. The Society have made every preparation for a creditable exhibition. The premiums offered are quite liberal, and induce ments are held out to competitors without re gard to locality. All articles intended for the Exhibition will be transported by the several Railroad Companies free of charge, and it is expected that visitors to the Fair will ,be fur nished with tickets at reduced rates. Significant At the recent election in Alton, Illinois— r the home of Senator Trumbull—the Demo cratic candidate for Mayor was triumphantly elected. )4 Be Assessed. We again call the attention of our friends to the great importance of attending to the Assessment: , in the several wards, boroughs and townships of the county. The assessments must be made at least TEN DAYS DiSysts the election in October. But don't put it off until the last moment. Tov,nship and ward com mittees should see to this thing without delay, and be sure that every friend of Buehanan is duly and regularly assessed on or bet •;-.. the 3d of Octobs,, Don't neglect this imp ,r -tant duty a day longer. Whig Doctrine 8. The series of acts 'of the Thirty-First Congress, commonly known as the Compro mise or adjustment, (the act for - the recovery of fugitives from labor included,) are received and :tcquiesced in by the Whigs of the United States as a final settlement in principle and substance of the subjects to which they relate: and so far as the acts are concerned, we will maintain them, and insist on their strict en forcement, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further legisla tion to guard against the evasion of the laws on the one hand and the abuse of their powers on the other—not impairing their present efficiency to carry out the requirements of the constitution; and we deprecate all further agitation of the questions thus settled as dan gerous to our peace, and will discountenance all efforts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, or however made; and we will maintain this settlement as essential to the nationality of the Whig party,,,and the integrity of the Union. The above is one of the planks in the Whig platform of 1852, and the only one relating to slavery, as adopted by the Whig National Con vention,of that year. How our neighbor, Mr. Darlington, who so strenuously contended then that the principles embodied in that platform were correct, can conscientiously claim that, although he now advocates the Black Repub lican platform with all its heresies, he has not changed his principles, is beyond our compre hension ! Politics, it is said, sometimes make strange bed-fellows—and it is a truism so far as the editor of the Examiner is concerned.— It is certainly strange to see E. C. Darlington laying quietly down in the same political nest with Thaddeus Stevens, J. M. Willis Geist, Alexander H. Hood, Dr. Gibbons and the whole tribe of Abolitionists and Disunionists which have infested Lancaster county for the last eight or ten years The Truth well Spoken The subjoined dignified, truthful, and emi nently Christian article we copy from the Baltimore Patriot of the 13th inst. The mad ness which now rules the hour—the perversion of the sacred calling of so many modern divines, some of them in our own State, and not a hundred miles from our own city—the melancholy attempts to divert the sacred vol ume to unauthorized and unchristian purposes —to substitute for its teachings of peace and love a warrant of sedition, strife and discord, or to discard it entirely—are candidly and dispassionately alluded to, and the fearful con sequences to Christianity itself strongly de• pitted. The present practice of too many clergymen, in leaving the spiritual wants of their flocks to the tender mercies of the prowl ing wolves of infidelity, and forgetting almost entirely to "preach Christ and him crucified," is becoming apparent to all in the decreasing interest with which the ordinances and insti tutions of religion are regarded, and their growing inefficiency upon the spirit of evil which everywhere afflicts society. The extract below is from a letter of an eminent and dis tinguished Episcopalian clergyman of New England, but applies with equal force in all the States north of Mason and Dixon's line, and is not inapplicable in the city and county of Lance - sten Present appearances would seem to indicate that this country is rapidly tending to the moral condition of Revolution ary France, and the cause is fully set forth in the following extract: I think I foresee that one of the must un happy results of the political agitation we are going through will be the demoralization, or rather the de- Christianization of society here at the North, through the shameful Prostitu tion of the pulpit to political purposes. This has now been carried on so long and to so great an extent, that great moral effects must inev itably follow. The claims of all the members of the human race to personal freedom every where, and under all circumstances, have been so long and so vebemently urged from the pulpit that the belief in them has become, with not a few, a second gospel: claims quite in conflict with the actual gospel oT our Sa viour, and with the examples of slavery in the Old Testament, not only authorized, hut commanded by God himself. The question then occurs inevitably to the fanatical mind, which gospel am I to receive ? Then, again, there has been the unholy alliance of the three thousand clergymen of New England, with the unhallowed crew of Atheists and Deists, male and female, all working harmoniously together to establish this new gospel, and to assert a principle in morality not recognized by the Old. On the same platform with the 3,000 are the men, Mr. Speaker Banks among the rest, who affirm that "if God authorizes slavery, we must have a new God." What pollution in the very contact of a Christian minister, with such creatures as Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Theo. Parker and others of the same tribe ! and what are the people to think when they see their pastors fraterniz ing with the open and sworn foes of all re vealed truth on the same stage, and making common cause with them in a crusade against government and law? Why the multitude cannot help losing their reverence for Christ's religion and its supposed ministers, and this is precisely the process which -is now going on. Such causes operating so widely as they are now doing, and have been doing for sev eral years, must tell on the public mind at last. The fruits will appear by and by. Black Republican Creed The following is a just analysis of the creed of the Black Republicans. We take it from the Cincinnati Enquirer. The proof of its justness may be found in all their words and acts : " WHAT THE BLACK REPUBLICANS BELIEVE.- 1. The Black Republicans believe that the people of the Territories should not be allowed to make their own laws. They have no confi dence in their capacity for self-government, and insist that the Congress at Washington better understand the wishes and interests of the people of the distant Territories than they do themselves. " 2. They think that the voters of the States can be induced to believe that the Democrats who are in favor of popular sovereignty for the Territories, and who would give their eit zens freedom to form their own institutions, are in favor of the extension of slavery. "3. They believe they can instigate civil war in Kansas, and by their tools—Lane and Reeder—make unprovoked attacks with armed men upon peaceful settlements, and then by dint of unscrupulous falsehood actually obtain political capital out of a circumstance which ought to condemn them to general execration. " They believe that an organization founded entirely upon geographical lines, which has no existance, and can, from its very nature, have no existance in half the States of the Union, whose triumph vests all power in the North and makes the South its vassal, can sway the government of the confederacy without danger of its dissolution. "5. They believe that the province of Min isters of the Gospel is to dabble in party poli tics, instead of preaching the word of God. " 6. They believe that free negroes are a more desireablo population than emigrants from Europe, and would confer political priv ileges upon the one and withhold them from the other. " 7. They believe in a smaller confederacy of sixteen States, instead of the old one estab lished by Washington and Jefferson, which has already thirty-one, with Territories enough to make as many more, and would east off the South because she is guilty, in the estimation of these fanatics, of the sin of slavery. "S. The Black Republicans believe in the Maine-liquor law, and in all the one idea measures of the day, which have been engen dered in the hot-bed of fanaticism, ignorance, and folly." Eloquent Sentiments. At the recent Tippecanoe Battle Ground Convention of the friends of BUCHAAN and BRF. , KINRIDGF., that '• old Ina', el4nent," Geo. Co..ai spoke at , tollows i, General Cass being introduced tol the ae- semblage was received with hearty applause. Ile said that he felt it god to be t4re.

If 1 had uttered such a senOinetit as this at the commencement of my', political career I would have had no hearetzl. But' times have greatly changed in my day, and now you listen because you know ,that my language is that of soberness and truth.— , Years ago when I visited this spot, having come down the Wabash in a birch canoe, the . siience was supreme and impressive ; but now I behold about me a vast concourse ofearnest 1 and excited citizens. Th:s change is but typ ical tf what has occurred over the brohd lands of all the North-western States. , 1 No idle curiosity has called you forth to day. You have come to manifest that attach ment to the Union and the Union party which animated our patriotic forefathers, and made them rather bite the dust than see that Union dishonored ur endangered by foreign and domestic foes. (Great applause.) 1 . 1 hay e just come from the halls of le slation, and. if you had been there and witnes ed what I[ I saw and what I heard, not one among you could think the cry of the Unidn is in dangerlpne of false alarm. No ! yen would have seen the Wheels of Government (blocked by a party, and for no better or othei reason than that the army was sought to be paid for enforcing the laws of the land.

You are called upon to choose one of two can didates, and in making that choice you should bear• in mind that all your goverhmental prosperity and happiness you owe ito that Democratic party whose opponents htive been in power but one year in four. [Great ap plause.] I Many of our people seem to ignorelthe exis tence of a rule, a golden rule, whiCh says, " mind your own business." It is . l a most excellent rule and almost worthy of being the thirteenth commandment. By its recognition our fathers prospered, and our country has prospered, but a now sect has arisen whose motto seems to embrace the minding of other people's business as well as their own. But what is the cause of all this angry die sention and strife. Why we are told ft is the Nebraska bill. And what is that? 'Nothing in the world more or less than the exttinsion of the same right to the people of NebraSka and Kansas, the same right which you, the people of Indiana, enjoy. Is there one here who objects to thi ° Who thinks that Massachusetts ought to control the local institutions of Kansas? • pioices "No," "not one."] I know there hi not my friends. If any, let him leave the assemblage. I don't want to talk to such: Let him go to Massachusetts. That is the place forl him.— What is thefe in man that rendersim less capable of self-government in a Territoy than in a State? Nothing in the world. The General alluded to the late House of Rep resentatius, saying that, though they tried hard to starve the army, whose only crime was that it had endeavored to enforce tl# laws, they took good care to vote a handsome appro priation to themselves. The General dal ' • ' - _.re as follows I am an old man, having passed thO' age of three score years and ten, and I tell y'ou, aye, repeat it again and again, that the Union is in danger! Let me entreat you by th blood of your forefathers, shed on this and on scores of other battle-fields---by your present pros perity—by all your hopes for the future—by all that you hold most sacred and dear—hold on to the Union—hold on to it in life and al most in death ! It has made us prosperous and happy, and placed our country's fame high among the nations of the earth. If the Union is lost, all is lost. Anarchy first will ensue, then despotism. Oh, my friends, Nware— beware ! Think, pause, and again think, be tore giving countenance to those wliose 'patriot ism embraces but a segment of the cOuntry. We have here to-day a son of Henry Clay who now sleeps in his grave. The son reminds me of his father, my friend, and as noble a patriot as ever breathed. It is to me a source of great consolation, that though we differed on! almost every political question, .I never spoke a dis respectful word of him. He was my friend at his death. 1 attended his dying couch, and caught almost the last accents that fell from his lips. He said that Mr. Fillmore Was his first chOice for the Presidency, but if he could not be elected, he preferred to see the Whigs unite upon a Union Democrat. These were alinost his last words, my friends, and most earnestly would I commend them to Our con sideration. • Who Supports the Government The disunion traitors who are incessantly slandering the South, aesert, because the rev enues are principally collected at northern ports, that the South pays but little into the treasury and is a burthen on the government. This is unjust as well as false. The revenues are derived from duties upon importe whic are paid for by the products of the com The furnishers of the products are thos whom the burthen of the duties ret whatever amount is paid in duties is s( deducted from the quantity of Comm received in exchange.

EDITORS :—Permit me to mike an extract from a letter I received from a gentleman visiting his family in Dubuque, lowa, in August last; but who has himself been for more than four years past a resident of California, and who is there at the present time. The gentleman has been an old line whiff., is intelligent, and well booked up in Cal ifornia affairs, including its politics. Being a moderate 9lan,9nd one whose opinion is a tolerable reflex of the po litical views of a large and influential class of the citizens of California, it may serve to show in what estimation the three candidates before the people for the office of President are held, and what would likely be the effect should the Republican candidate be elected, and particularly the po sition which that far off State would be likely to occupy.— Writing from Dubuque, he says. "I think Fremont is likely to get this State, (lowa.) for which I feel regret. Between Buchanan and Fillmore there is with me but little choice—though Fillmore's pro clivities towards proscribing foreigners make him more ob jectionable than Buchanan. In Chlifornia Fremont mil hare no show. He would be in a singular position—a Pres! Meat elected withouta single vote from fourteen or fifteen States. Suppose then the South sends no more members to Cougrem, do you not, then, think disunion would soon follow think It would, and in that case also, the Pacific states and territories would set up for themselves. The people on the Pacific care little about the slavery question —sure, sensible people:' It is quite apparent from this extract, that the Repub lican nominee receives very little countenance in Califor nia, and should en excessive and unwise manifestation of "nigger" sympathy elect hlm; dissolution of the Union is one of the events that would be likely to follow—which is no doubt the ulterior aim of a band of morbid and fanat• leal self styled philanthrophiste In the country, who sup port him. But in their construction of a grand northern confederacy, they would not be so successful ea they imagine; for the Pacific States seem to have no sympathies In 'com mon with them, and would, therefore, rather "net up for themselves" than fraternize with them in their African proclivities. California is already jealous, seeing that all the time of Congress Is absorbed in the dlscussionii of questions and disputes 'growing out ofethe agitation of the slavery question, and no time can be obtained, for a fair and impartial consideration of tho various Rail Road routes which are so necessary In binding the Interests of those remote portions of our Republic with those of the Eastern States. But heaven forofend that any of those disunion el, manta should gain the ascendency in our country, for In certain contingencies it is very easy to conceive how such a thing as dismemberment could take place. Should the Free States alone elect a President, and one for whom the Southern States had not cast a vote—and should the South refuse to send members of 'Congress to Washington City, or accept office of any kind under the government, would not a refusal to contribute to the revenue of the General Government follow and who would or could compel them to do it? Who would volunteer in the army to march into redlote states to compel them to obey laws, or pay tribute to a government which they had virtually repudiated, and In which they had not the least interest or participation? We may well ask the question who would? for it is a practical and a probable one—rand If no one would volunteer or enlist In a service Involving the liked of his fellow citi zens, then by a common consent there would be a virtual disunion of the Staten. If the troubles would end here It would seem peaceable enough—but local Jealousies would arise—border ware about runaway property either of men or boasts, would inevitably ensue. Poet office restrictions and examinations would follow, and a system of espionage and passports adopted, that would render our beloved own try Infinitely more annoying and unsafe to travel through, than any of Europe or Asia. To prevent all these evils there is but one course to pursue, and that is, like the writer of the above extract, to forego all party predilec tions and vote. for the Democratic nominees—for JAHZEI BUCIIA.NAN and Jolla C. Mamoru:Doz. LANCASIZa, Sept. 15, 1056.

No scheme is left untried by' which the opposition may hope to gain a 'vote.. As the contest approaches Intensity, they resort tomeaner and still lees meritorious party tricks. With such soli and energy do they labor, and with the semblance of reality do they Invest their actions, that we are constrained to caution the moat strenuous vigilao on the part of all those iveho hold cured the ties which bind us together as onejmighty nation—the noblest the sun ever shone upon. Rr once again have they borrowed the mantle of truth to clover the fiction of their espousal. Can any reasoning man doubt this? If he does, let him but erlnpare the doings, with the theories of this party which glories openly andl avowedly in its opposition to the Democratic party. But then the day of retributive Justice is dawning. Deluded minions, wo do not expect to convert you—you who have ent.ired into a combination to defeat the Democratic ticket—no-you have become too deeply imbrued in the wild schemes of wilder schemers. You are doomed to hating shanitithrough the machinations Of your worse than fanatical leaders. They have entered into solid compact for the purpose 10 dissolving this glorious Union, and you are aiding theili In their unholy work. Do you know that this is Treason! and do you also know that Arnold did no less? The finger of scorn was pointed at him when he was In Ilti Majesty's' domain, and you have been taught to hiss his name through compressed lips in your Infancy I and now you do the very deed you were taught to hate! What mad infatuation has led you thus away from the laws of !justice to yourselves and fellow men Is this the manner you repay the kiudness of your lamented sires of revolutionary memory? Shame—shame on yon traitors! thus to betray your oountryby aiding and abetting the.conspiraters!of the Black Republican party.— Any patriot, be ever so limited his abilities to discuss this question, will tell you at once that the whole plot is con cocted for the purpose elidividing, distracting and tearing asunder the ties with which we hare been so long held together as a Nation! Ile would say British gold here, as in Aruold's case, is at thti bottom of this movement which the Black Republican ?stay has espoused, and that you are rho dupes of this fanatical office hunting pack. Fine sen timents of philanthropy cover the exterior of one part of the opposition, while the other presents so revolting an exterior that we scarcelycau lied words sufficiently toler ative sot to wound the tine sensibilties of the patriot and Democrat with his vengeance on us for the bare mention of it. Treason of the deepest dye—Tory principles of Eng land's nursing, and ovate rebellion to the j eat and equita ble laws of our country—their. country, go to make up the tteories and practices of the ether part of this hateful op. position, and what will Sooner endanger the Union and our liberties than this spirit of rebellion and disunion which lice spread like au!evil genii thmugh the land! We said that it wan lint our intention, from its utter hopelessness, of moving th man, who, through the Wiles Orp.ditiClll tricksters and renegades, have been led to es pouse those tient:unable 'doctrines, and who have enlisted in this unholy crusade against the Constitution and the country. No, their narrow conceptions will not allow them to comprehend the beautiful principle of Democracy. 'Choy horn been taught by, aud listened to men whose minds aro bigoted, until they have become as bigoted on their teach ers.

Great Fillmore Demonstration! MESSRS. EDITORS :—tVe had a rare time hero, last night' After supper our town Was invaded by the Bu-da, Band, discoursing its mellifluous thilishibs. Some were delight d, and hundreds amused, by the grand nourish of tile big `tooting things." The object of all thin was to gather a crowd to hear the scels,ra-ted French S. Evans, ex-Preach er, Fillmore II eniont-Dayton-Dobelson-spouter. Well a sort of crowd was gathered, but such a crowd! Veil have read of Falstnir a Army—how old Fatty was ashamed of his own ...Idlers, etc.? Well, si l would Fillmore have been, had h e set eye upon the motly crew. The ex-reverend gentle man held forth at the Market House, and I must essay some kind of report of the proceedings. The Gas having been lighted, a southern Wind blew it out, when red Dave, the carpenter, and others voluntoerrd their hats for lampc shades. One fellow brought a lantern, but, f,,r all they could do, the spirit of darkness would prevail. Thu orator, ostensibly a Fillmore man; started off in an appeal fur the Union ticket, which in this county, as you know, is com posed of nine ports woolii, to one part American 2 ileaven save the mark! Ile splike of being in Philadelphia, and having he; a bell billed in the Ihnnooratic procession. Upon this, he tried hard; to be witty, explaining how he felt, and what he thought of that matter. lie was cock sure, that ly. was but the ''passing boll for the Cincinnati platform," Which was "to be buried in November," over the grave of which should inscribed, "ra-kes.cat-in-pacy." That was exceedingly frill y, and brought forth peels °finer riment, as Indeed ft short . You can eds . ily perceive, that the learned gentleman n cant to quote Latin but every body didn't know that, rom his pronunciation. In the crowd, wore to be seen OM members of a celebrated, learned and patriotic family of Cherry street, whose "Ilays" and niloomys," aided by loud taps on gin big drum, did much to enliven the meeting, and elevate public sentiment. A deaf and simple felleiv, in the crowd, lent also his aid, r li cheering uproariously, li ghing at the orator's pathetice, c , and looking extremely g ye at his vvitticiarns. Ills conduct was worthy of admiratio , and to me highly edifying. The, orator took occasion to allude to the free schools, (a norill entity.) and their influebee upon society; pointed out a very dirty little fellow, with something not unlike a whitey brown handkerchief,protfuding from a runt in his robes; his head crowned with a rimless beaver, and a flirty face, bearing unequivocal mares of a recent catarrh, as being very likely to act as a futire President of the United States. The little fellow was hilly elated, wiped his nose with a sniff, and great glee, wh it several full grown Americans gathered round, looking noon the future President with au air indicative of great respect, somewhat akin to awe! Others openly expressed a concurrence with the speaker's views, and thought the rheumy little chap's chance afl good as that of Mr. Fillmore. In this, your correspondent fully 'agreed with them. The preacher, in calculating Mr. F.'s chances, came to the conclusion that ho was sure of at least four States, which, you know, would go a great way toward making him President, before the rheumy little boy should have a chance to get thrdugh with the measles, chicken pox and mumps. The atlempts of the ex-reverend at wit, were extremely frequent and spasmodic, but °ldly lu want of point; so much so indeed, that Miss Miller, (a colored lady, and strong-minded premontor,) openly expressed her disgust, and retired from the meeting, notwithstanding t'ho great attract/one of the , iDu.da Band, de. Two or three members of the legal fr ternity were present, and tried hard to laugh off their diepair, as boys whistle away fear in a dark cellar. Davy, t o grocer, expressed unboundod confidefice in the stateraonts of the orator ' giving as a reason, for lain faith, that Preachers wont lie!! Simple Davie! 1 The one Tow-Gill delegation was extremely lively, its mem bers jumping about like patients under the influence of the "poker," in the pursuit of "rattran' things." The Fish town delegation was alp there; Tltsley,—the cat-fish trapper, and ex-oysterman, "hooraying" with'teil his might. A Marietta chap', with en immense crop of wool upon his mug, took the place of the "Captain "in the "Irish Lion;" his "dem'd folne, 'however, going °rein the shape of " Good!" "Good!" The orator took great pleasure in as suring his audience that Millard Fillmore was "rocked In a sugar trough," and seerned very sorry that he had not been fed upon ants and reaches, In order to lose nothing, when compared with the great devourer of graoebopper pine! In conclusion, Messrs. trilters, this was one of the meet ings! liaised by an immense expenditure of drumming and tooting,—a strong effort—a mighty pull, to make it a "demonstration worthy of Fillmore and Done Dun," it ended a simple farce, as looolly as Miss Miller herself could desire. Ilow any Irian ' protessing to be an American, could stand by; and suck in the woolly pill tendered by the Reverend renegade, is more than I can comprehend. It masa grand Ozzie, Messrs. Editors, a i,corious humbug; and the conclu• elan of the matter Is the the Fillmore party of Columbia has been sold, body and, all, and must succumb to the worshippers of Congo and Pompey ; bowing the knee, not to Baal, but to the woolly Horse ! Its leaders will get 'but " Buzzard, - In the division of spoils, and conservative Americans bo forced to exclaim _ . • . . 'Call our cares, fears;which will in time break rule The locks o' the Senat , and bring In the crows To peck the eagles." ronix says that the nan a of the unfortunate candidate of the American party, is d rived from " Philcma"—a kiss; and•is indicative of the Menne to be used in effecting his ruin. The "woollies," with the assistance of ouch apolitical Judas as reverend Evans, re doing all in their flower to fulfil the omen. Cotogtua, Sept. 19, laik NIPPER. P.
