Let there be a grand gathering of all the Democrats and Consti tution-loving men in the -county----of all who de light in the perpetua tion of those great principles upon which the Re public was founded. THE DEMOCRACY of LANCASTER COUNTY, and all friendly to the election of Buctieriax and BRECKINILIDGE, and the Demo cratic State and County Tickets, will hold a Grand Mass Meeting, in the City of Lancas ter, (the home of BucHANAN,) at 10 o'clock, A. M., on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Bth, 1856 The Democracy of the surrounding counties, are cordially invited to meet with us on that occasion; and we expect a large representa tion from our sister counties. The Committee of Arrangements will spare no exertions to make this one of the best regulated meetings that has ever convened in this section of the State. aim' A correspondence has been opened with some of the most distinguished speakers in the country, and favorable answers have already been received from several of them.

Com. e„„ Don't forget to be assessed between this and FRIDAY next. If you put it off till after that day, it will then be too late. Turn Out, Democrat• 1 To the great Democratic Mass Meeting, to be held in this city, on Wednesday the Bth of October. Come one—come all—come every friend of the CONSTITUTION and the UNION, whether Whig or Democrat—and make it such a demonstration as bas never before been witnessed in Lancaster county. Are Fora All Ready I Only two weeks remain for organization and preparation for the great battle, to be fought on the 14th day of October, upon the result of which such momentous consequences depend. Freemen of Pennsylvania—friends of our National Union—patriots, Democrats— are you all ready ? Are you fully organized in every precinct, ward, borough and township in the county? Have you seen that every Democrat has been assessed, and that his taxes are paid ? Have you taken measures to bring out every voter on the day of the election ? There is no time to be lost. Let every man go to work, and leave no honorable means untried to Bemire the success of the State and County ticket. Fail not in the zealous perfor mance of a great duty to our party, our =tatty, and to humanity. There is not a single moment to spare. Every where an unscrupulous and unprincipled faction is making unheard of exertions to defeat the Democzetic State Ticket in October. Let us show thlm that we are prepared for the strug gle—that we realize the' vast importance of the issues involved in the contest, and espe cially the importance of a great Democratic The Presidential election is the all-absorb_ ing topic of discussion now before the people. Scarcely anything else is thought of, or talked about. The Merchant in his store, the Mechanic in his workshop, the Pro fessional man in his office, the Laboring man at his:daily employment—all have their pref erence in BUCHANAN, FILLMORE, or FREMONT. But we trust our friends—the friends of Bu- CHANAN and the .Union—will bear in mind that there is another election, quite equal in importance, to come off on the second Tuesday of October, in two weeks from to-day. We have State, District and County officers to elect, and it is of the utmost importance that the nominees of the Democratic party, espec ially on the State ticket, should succeed.— The result of the October election will exercise a material influence upon the November elec• tion, although it is by no means certain that one decides the other. We might afford to lose the October election, and still give the vote of the State to Mr. BUCHANAN in No vember. Indeed, under any circumstances, the vote of Pennsylvania is sure for BUCHANAN. But a partial defeat in October might have an injurious effect upon some ~)f the doubtful States, which we should avoid by doing our duty faithfully and efficiently at the first elec tion. The opposition factions are apparently united on their State, but divided on their National ticket, and while they may have a bare chance (and it is a very bare one indeed) fur the first, they have no reasonable hope for the latter. Nevertheless, it is highly desira ble and of great importance, that the October election should go right. If the Democratic State ticket is elected in October, in Pennsyl vania, the Preside,.tial question is• then al ready settled, and we shall have comparatively but little to do in November. lf, on the con trary, the Fusion ticket succeeds, it will give encouragement to the Black Republicans, and they will make a desperate effort against us in November. Wilson DlcCandles9 We trust the friends of Mr. BUCHANAN (Whigs as well as Democrats) in Lancaster county realize the importance of this sugges tion, and that every man of diem will be at the election on the 14th of October, and cast his vote for the entire ticket at the head of our paper. Our State and COunty tickets are composed of good and true Union men—hon est and capable—and they should receive the vote of every Democrat and Union loving Whig in the county. So far as our candidates, for both State and County offices, are concerned, we are personally acquainted with every one of them, and know them to be well qualified fur their respective positions—superior in every respect to the candidates of the opposi tion. We challenge a comparison of all of them with their opponents, feeling confident that they are better men and better qualified thim their.rivals. We hope, then, that all the friends of BUCHANAN will stand shoulder to shoulder at the October election, and give a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all togeth er" for the State and County Tickets settled by the Democratic party. Look to your County Ticket Democrats of Lancaster County 'look well to your County Ticket. It is composed of sound and reliable men, selected with great care from the different sections of the county —from the eastern; western, northern and southern sections—all of them gentlemen of more than usual intelligence, and possessed of rare qualifications for the dischhrge of the several offices. The names of Messrs. IDES TER, BRUsii, REINHOLD, BRENESIAN, PATTON, M.THAd,L, AMWAKE, HENDERSON, ERR, SHELLy, PICKEL, ROBERTS, KREAMER, FULTON and HAUKE, present a pleasing contrast to th e names of their Black Republican Woolly Head Maine Law opponents, ancl who have nearly all been selected from the middle and southern sec tions of the county. The northern tier of townships are entirely excluded from the Woolly Head ticket. In point of capability, too, they fall vastly below the candidates on the Democratic ticket. Rally, therefore, Democrats to the energetic support of your entire State and County ticket, and see to it that every Democratic vote in the county is polled on the 14th of October.

He wants another chance at the " strong box " of Uncle Sam ! 15... For the purpose of injuring Mr. HIES TER with the Democrats, the Black Republi can orators and pimps are,busily engaged in circulating a report in certain sections of the county, that he is not in favor of the Demo cratic State ticket. This is a base falsehood manufactured out of the whole cloth—and we are authorized by that gentleman to say that he is not only in favor of the election of Bu- CIIANAN and BRECKINRIDGE, but that he will also support the entire Democratic State and county tickets, at the election in October.

Address FRANK R. DIEFENDERFER, . ' Corresponding Secretary “laneasie; City iremont Club - The above circular contains a series of false hoods and misrepresentations from beginning to end. What ! They " condemn the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, a measure can nonized in the hearts of the American people" —when it is a notorious fact that the leaders of the Black Republican party, all of them— such men as Hale, and Giddings, and Wilmot, and Stevens, and Seward—opposedothe exten sion of this same Missouri line through to the Pacific Ocean only as late as 1840, after we acquired the territory from Mexico ! They to talk flippantly about " Free White Labor and Black Slave Labor," when they would ele vate the Negro to an equality with the White native born American, and degrade the White foreigner below the level of the Negro! And one of these same leaders, who is announced as a speaker, shows his great fondness for white labor, by employing a N e gc o to paint his house in preference to a white mechanic They to talk about the "perpetuity of the Constitution," when at the same time they are doing all in their poWer to breakup the Union and trample upon the Constitution ! and when their principal speaker, the notorious Infidel, BURLINGAME, is the man who declared that " The times-demand an anti-Slavery Constitu tion, an anti-Slavery Bible, and an anti-Slavery Cod!" and when another of them, upon 'a memorable occasion, advised certain of his followers to " throw conscience to the devil !" The silly attempt at wit of these men, in speaking of " the home of the Cincinnati Platform"—"the home of the late Mr. Buchap an," is characteristic of the low and grovelitig mind that concocted it, and of the imbecile bitterness and malignity of those who sent it abroad to the world with their signatures at tached. The only truth in the whole circular is, that Lancaster county—the home of Mr. Buchan an, goes for "Liberty and -Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." But that Union embraces thirty one States, not the sixteen represented only by sixteen stars on the Black Republican standard of Messrs. Henderson, Black, Roberts, Darlington, Ste vens and their colleagues. Lancaster county goes for the whole Union, as she will show these traitors and disunionists in November next when she casts her vote for her distin guished citizen, JAMES BUCHANAN. Backed Out: The New York Herald of Thursday says: " The political discussion which was to have been held on yesterday, in Indiana county, Pennsylvania, did not come off. Messrs. STOKES and FOSTER were present, but Mr. BURLINGAME was absent, [Wonder if he didn't go to Canada ?—Ed. Intel.] and Mr. STEVENS left in the 3 o'clock train. The Republicans say that they feared a disturbance if the con test took place! [Certain gentlemen feared a disturbance at Harrisburg, in December, 1838, and made their exit in rather an unusual way from the Senate Chamber!] The Democrats present were addressed by Messrs. GinsoN, SCHNABEL, FOSTER and STOKES, and the Re publicans by Mr. STEVENS." He'll not be Here! lion. THOMAS CORWIN, of Ohio, is announc ed as one of the speakers at the Black Repub lican Mass Meeting, in this city, to-morrow. This is evidently done for the purpose of drawing a large crowd. But the bate won't take—he won't be here. Read the following from the Middletown (Conn.) Argus of Wed nesday last: Hon. Tuoltes CORWIN, oT Ohio, has been spending a short time in Connecticut. One day last week he was at Middletown, stopping at the McDonough House, where he was waited on by a "committee of the Fremont Club of Wesleyan University," with an invi tation to speak. He refused, and stated that he was not a Fremont man. Ho also states his belief that Ohio will go for Buchanan by a rery decided majority. An Ambidextrous Politician It is known that Mr. ANTHONY E. Ron- Errs is, when in company with FILLMORE men, representingbimself to be in favor of FILLMORE. If he be a FILLMORE man, how does it happen that his name is appended to the FREMONT circular publishe4 in another column of our paper? One oft iro things is certain: Either Mr. Roberts is playing false with the FILL MORE men, for the sake of wheedling them out of their votes—or his name appears to that infamous circular without his knowledge or consent. We ask Mr. ROBERTS Which horn of the dilemma he will take. ll~Our esteemed friend, J. G. L. BROWN, Esq., has retired from the Harrisburg Patriot Union--having disposed of his interest to ANDREW HOPKINS, Esq., the remaining part ner, by whom the paper will hereafter be Something for Old Line Whigs to Read An Old Line Whig Paper's Opinion of Anthony E. Roberts. We ask the attention of our readers, par ticularly Old Line Whigs, to the following entracte from the Examiner of September 27, 1854: Ist. Mr. Roberts' ingratitude: "Mr. Roberts is an uld stager on the course, whose bottom has been spoiled by over feed ing. He has moreover an ungrateful habit of snapping at the hand that fills his manger. 2nd. Jlis inconsistency and incompetency: "Inconsistent in every thing else, he is consistent only in his blind obedience to Thad deus Stevens. If it were possible for him to be elected, we should be represented by the shadow of Mr. Stevens without his brains." 3rd. His political dishonesty, and why he desired to go to Congress: "Many persons have wondered why Mr. A. E. R,:berts should desire to be elected to Con gress—a position in which his studies,.habits and general qualifications certainly would not render him likely to appear to advantage.— We think the reason may be found in the following statement of facts: When Mr. Roberts settled his accounts as Marshal of the Eastern District, Comptroller Whittlesey rejected several thousand dollars of his claims as illegal. Mr. R. has since been untiring, but unsuccessful, in his efforts to wring the money from the U. S. Treasury.— He has doubtless been persuaded that, as a member of Congress, he could bring more in fluence to bear on the officers of the Treasury, to induce them to admit his rejected claims, or bore through Congress an appropriation fur his own "relief." By the way, speaking of "boring" calls to mind the fact that he spent several weeks at Harrisburg last winter, boring fur a claim in which he was interested, and succeeded in getting $2750 from the State Trecisurer. If he should be equ'ally successful at Washing ton it would pay well." 4th. The nature of his claim on the Govern ment—his connection with the Christiana riot "As some curiosity has been expressed to learn the nature of the claims of Mr. Roberts which were rejected by Comptroller Whittle sey, we have ascertained that they were for ILLEGAL FEES and the pay of the notorious Marshal's posse, from this city, which figured at the Christiana riot." sth. His claim for illegal fees denied by an Old Line Whig in the service of the Govern ment: "In order to show that Mr: Roberts sus tained no injustice in his settlement with the United States, we need only mention that Comptroller Whittlesey is a WHIG and es teemed the best officer of the Treasury. Mr. Roberts would be extremely grateful to the people of Lancaster County, for a position that might give him a prospect of reversing the judgment of this faithful officer." We might go un and give further extracts in regard to Mr. ROBERTS' incompetency from this time-honored and once reliableorgan of the old Whig party; but the above will suffice for the present. At our leisure we may give further extracts from the record in order to show that the Abolition, Disunion candidate for Congress, ANTHONY E. ROBERTS, has not the shadow of a claim upon Whig, Democrat or Aiherican for support. One thing in connection with this claim of Mr. ROBERTS and we have done with it for the present. During the last Congress he failed to have his claim passed and the judgment of the Comptroller reversed. Should he be re elected there is no doubt he will press his claim with renewed vigor, and failing to re cover from the Comptroller of the Treasury, will doubtless endeavor to snake a bill through Congress for his relief. Let the honest voters of the County prevent the attempt from being made, by refusing the man who dares to make it, their support at the ballot box. The Extra Compensation Again: We were a little in error last week in stat ing that the extra compensation bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 101 to 98. We have since obtained a certified copy of the yeas and nays from the proper office at Washington, from which we learn that the vote stood 100 to 99. This makes the respon sibility resting on Mr. ROBE,RTS, the member from this district, who voted for the bill, still greater—as his vote decided the question Had he voted in the negative, the bill would have been lost by a vote of 99 yeas to 100 nays. But he was so anxious to put about $3300 extra compensation in his pocket, over and above the $8 per diem heretofore al lowed to members of Congress, and which was deemed amply sufficient by such men as Bu- CLIANNN, CLAY, WEBSTER, CALHOUN, CASS, CRITTENDEN, and other distinguished National Legislators, that he willingly consented to the passage of a bill, which for the last session alone added to the expenses of the Govern ment $1,000,000 ! The following article front the N. Y. Tribune, will serve to open the eyes of the people of Lan caster county to the enormity of the offence committed by ANTHONY E. ROBERTS and his ninety-nine colleagues of the House of Repre sentatives who voted for the bill : We maintain that the present members of Congress, having seen fit to accept that posi tion without complaint of the compensation, or notice that they should try to increase it, were morally bound to serve out their respective terms at the old price, and to make any in crease of pay prospective only, not retrospec tive—that is to say, it should have taken effect from and after the assembling of the next Congress. We hold that, if the pay were to ho increas ed at all, then and thenceforth, the present un equal, exorbitant and slippery mileage should have been reformed, reduced and equalized. Now some-members receive more than double the pay others. . . We insist that a bill which changes the com pensation from so much per du to so much per year, should have deducted at least as much from a member's pay for each day's unneces sary absence as lie receives for each day's actual service. Now the new act, while it pays members about $3O for each day's actual service, deducts only a fraction over $8 for each day's wilful absence. In other words: member elect who shall see fit not to take his seat at all, but to devote his whole time to a tour of business or pleasure in Europe, would he entitled to receive about $4,000 from the Treasury as Congressional compensation. Finally, while we do not object to the change frOm a daily to an annual compensation, we insist that $3,000 instead of $6,000 per term would be quite enough, and that with this the mileage should he reduced and straightened, and the fine for wilful non-attendance should be raised to at least $25 per day. No one will contend that Congress ought to sit or will sit more than six months at the long session, while the shorter is limited by the Constitu tion to three months—making nine months' service for a full term. Why is not $2,000 for the long and $l,OOO for the short session— being at the rate of $4,000 per annum for actual service—quite enough ? Remember that paying Congress at the rate of $6,000 per annum for the term of actual service, with newspapers, documents, and postage free, is certain to lead to the enhancement of salaries and allowances on all hands. Remember that the next act of Congress after increasing its own pay was to vote a gratuity of twenty per cent. on their several stipends to all their regiment of already overpaid doorkeepers, pages, folders, packers, fire-makers, sweepers, &c, Men and brethren ! will you consider that our National expenditures are already Sixty-odd Millions in time of peace, of which not Five Millions are devoted to purposes of practical utility to future generations,. while our public lands are being swept away at the rate of Thirty Millions of acres per annum? . Will you ask yourselves whitherto these things tend ? Steamer Burned—Lose of Life A. terrible catastrophe happened on Lake Michigan on Wednesday. The steamer Ni agara, when two hours from Sheboyan, took fire near the engine room, and in a few min utes was a sheet of flame, fore and aft. It is believed that there were about one hundred and seventy passengers on board, together with the crew, and of the whole number but eighty are known to have been picked up by the vessels that went to the assistance of the Henry Clay's Opinion OF THE DANGERS OF ABOLITIONISM.

It is manifest that toe ultras of that party are extremely mischievous, and are hurrying on the country to fearful consequences. They are not to be conciliated by the Whigs; Engrossed with a single idea they care for, nothing else.

Why do the Abo:i litionists oppose colonization ?

A Word to Odd Fellows In the city and county of Lancaster we have about 2000 citizens connected with the Indci l i pendent Order of Odd Fellows. The society, is purely a charitable one, having for its single object the relief of distress, in whatever shape or form it may appear. That a society of thiS kind should become an object of hate, scorn and contumely seems a strange anomaly,—and yet here in Lancaster county we have a fect narrow-minded, bigoted and designing men, who, in order to make political capital fur themselves, have for years made war upon Their miserable and puny efforts, it is truei have rather advanced than retarded the prot gress of the institution, and this day ifstandi proud and defiant, a living evidence of ho 4 little bad men can accomplish when they wet against truth, right and justice. Failing in their base design, however, they should not be held guiltless. The intention should be taken for the deed, and the men who boldly pro"- claimed war against a charitable institution,- 4 whose members are strictly enjoined to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan,—should be exposed to the execration and scorn of every honorable l and humane man. Among the most bitter and violent opposeri of Odd Fellowship stand ANTHONY E. ROBERTS and THADDEUS STEVENS. Their hostility knows no cessation—no change. In season and out of season, they ring out their .foul mouthed calumnies against the Order and its members. That this is so cannot be deniedi Fur proof of it we refer our readers to the foli lowing resolution, adopted unanimously a few years ago by a county meeting held at Eeed'ti Hotel in this city. STEVENS and ROBERTS were the getters up of the meeting ; the forme• being the principal speaker, and the latter one of the nominees for office. But read the reso lution, and then decide whether ROBERTS, STE VENS & CO., possess the common attributes of humanity: Resolved, That A. 1.1..1100n, R. W. Min , DLETON and N. ELLMAKER be a committee, and hereafter annually a similar committee be api pointed by the County Convention whose duty it shall be to ascertain, the namei'of all Odd Fellows now in the county, or who may herei after be initiated, and have them published in all the anti-Masonic papers in the county. Comment on the above is unnecessary ; the , charitable citizen, no less than the sincere, Odd Fellow, will know how to appreciate it. The Abolition Know-Nothing StatO The Convention of March, which placed the Abolition State Ticket in nomination, was composed in good prirt of known Abolitionist and members of the American Order. Since that time, however, Know-Nothingism hall grown to be so out of fashion, that when thei same men assembled in Philadelphia, in June; to select a candidate for the Presidency, they passed a resolution partially ignoring the, Know-Nothings, so as if possible to secure the Know-Nothings by the Harrisburg Statel Know. Nothing Abolition Convention, and byl the Philadelphia Abolition Presidential Con-' vention to secure the adopted citizens who were opposed to the Know-Nothings. Thus on the one hand they court the Knows Nothings, and on the other they reject them;l and, as if to make the matter still more de-1 grading, and to prove their criminal hypocrisyq , the North American Convention which as sembled in New York, and nominated Frei, mont, after he had been nominated in Phila delphia, was a pure Know-Nothing concern and passed Know-Nothing resolutions, Col! Fremont accepting both nominations, and in, terms agreeing to be Know-Nothing or anti Know-Nothing, just as they desired. The State ticket is the first ticket which the incongruous elements of the opposition wilt be called upon to vote. But one sentiment ie constantly adhered to throughout all thesel bargains, and that is Abolitionism—bold, de-, fiant, and blasphemous Abolitionism. It is this which underlies the whole State ticket. The Know-Nothing who votes for it, because it is supposed to represent his sentiments, will be. quite as much cheated as the foreign bonr citizen who votes for it because he thinks it represents his sentiments. The only party that will be satisfied with it are the Abolition, ists, and they are chuckling in their sleeves) over the success of a plan by which they win the adopted citizens and the worst Know- Nothings at one and the same time into their' toils by professing to favor their contradictory doctrines. Was there ever in the history of politics a more damning, disgraceful and reck-' less cheat than this? The people that would endorse such a fraud would give the lie to the idea that they are capable of self-government. Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN, formerly U. S.' Senator from Ohio, was in Lancaster, on Sat urday last, on his way East, and expressed the same opinion, very confidently, that Ohio CITY AND COUNTY ITEMS WiIEASLAND CUrEn—A special meeting of Wheatland Club will . be held e.hifeld Quarters, City Hall, on Thursday evening next, at 7% o'clock, for the purpose of making arrangements for the Mass Meeting, or-the Bth of October.

SPET.CII OF GovEtittoa COBB.—Seldom, per haps never before. has it been the good fortuno of the pee pie of Lancaster city to listen to F. powerful and-unan swerable an argument, as that made by the lion. Ilowsm. COB,, of Georgia. at the Democratic meeting in this city,on Tuesday evening last, and by which he literally enchained the attention of his vast audience (notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather) for a period of nearly two hours. The meeting was held in Centre Square, and presided over by that'veieran Democrat. Col. SAncst C. STAMBAUGH.- Everyl,4y who heard the speech—iriend and foe—unite in pronounch, it one of the moat powerful defences of the Democratic party and its policy of non-intervention by Con gress and popular sovereignty in the Territories that they ever heard pronounced. Mr. Conn has always been a strong Union-loving and conservative statesman, and his eloquent appeals in behalf of the Union and the Constitution. and in opposition to sectionalism and disunion, cannot fail to have a powerful effect in arresting the torrent of Black Republicanism which is now sweeping over several of the Northern States, and threatens to engulf the liberties of our common country in Its black and turbid waters. Would that every citizen of Pennsylvania could hear the words of wisdom which fall from time to time from the lips of this eloquent and truly patriotic Georgian. We have every reason to believe that Governor Conn will be again with tie at our County Mass Meeting on the Sth of October—and , if so, every body in Lancaster county should make it a point to hear him. At the conclusion of Mr. Casas's speeds. Wit.ttAn J. ROSE. Esq., of the New York Doily News, was loudly called for, and came forward. To say that we, in common with the vast crowd of bearers were pleassal with title man's address is not expressive enough. Ile made a most beauti ful and heart-thrilling speech, and one that made some of the Black Republicans in attendance ashamed of themselves and their cause. Mr. Rose is a young man of brilliant talents, and, by the way. one of Penusy Ivania's sons. It is his intention we believe, to remain in the State until after the October election. Wherever he goes we can assure our friends that they will hear speeches of ability. sod that ring, too, with the true Democratic metal. Three cheers were given in .5510 I union for each of the speakers, three for Georgia Mad New Yurk,aud.nine cheers for our glorious standard hearers. The cheering and ap plause was most Intense thFoughtmt. and is an - earnest of what the Denricrary and losrs of the Constitution are do ing in this city.

Bitter Word. from Faithful Allies The Fillmore party, or rather the leaders of what once constituted that organization, are the meekest, most patient of human beings; they possess a larger share of forbearance than it has been our good fortune hitherto to witness among political antagonists. They are contemptuously reviled, treated with open and undisguised scorn and insult by their Fremont allies : yet they bear it all with a lamb-like patience Job might envy. They are the very impersonations of passivity.— The fanatical non.resisdents of New England are thrown altogether in the shade by this new demonstration of harmlessness and inno cence. Stich a sweet spirit is as rare as it is refreshing. It stands out in prominent char acters, challenging the admiration of all the milksops of humanity, the emblem of whose character is the bending willow which gently yields to every passing breeze. AB a specimen of the contemptuous language used towards Mr. Fillmore and his friends by the Fremonters, we copy the following from a late number of the New York Tribune : "If Mr. Fillmore opens his eyes as he should, he will discover that his followers are in the main blackguards and loafers, and about as fit to rule America as so many hyenas." Complimentary—very. Will the meek pat terns of pusillanimity in this State dare to resent this wanton insult? Or will it be an additional incentive to urge them to a more zealous sup . ort of fusion and Fremont at the CONIIIIINIOS. lONS Buchanan Creempa. gu,Paperis. • --- •• • ..., NO. 7—By •-li • .2L ^ ' Union or Disunion?
