PREULDENTIAL ELECTION, TITESDAT, NOW: UMBER 4th. Attend to the Assessments Those of our friends who neglected to have themselves assessed prior to the recent State election, should attend to the matter without delay, if they would vote at the Presidential election on the fourth of November. FRIDAY NEXT, the 24th inst., is the last day upon which extra assessments can be made, so as to be in time for the Presidential election. We hope the committees and clubs in the differ ent townships, wards and boroughs will attend to this important matter at once, as they have but three days left in which to discharge that duty. Keep the Fires Burning I We killed the enemy on Tuesday last, in Pennsylvania, but we must bury him on the 4th of November. Tu do so effectually, let our friends every where throughout the county and State keep up their organization, and make arrangements without delay to poll every Buchanan vote. If this is done, and it must and will be done—Mr. BUCUANAN will sweep the State by from 25,000 to 50,000 majority. KEEP THE FIRES BURNING, BOYS! We only gave the enemy a foretaste of what is in store fur him on the 4th of November. PENNSYLVANIA HAS SPOKEN 3 The Old Keystone has , sounded the death knell of Black Republicanism, Abolitionism, Know-Nothingism, Maine Lawism, Fanati cism, and all the other isms which have cursed our common country for the last ten years.— We met the combined enemies of the Consti tution and the Union in mortal combat on Tuesday last, and after one of the most des perate Conflicts recorded in the political annals of the country, we vanquished then! all, and the proud flag of the Union, with not' single star erased, floats in triumph over the land of Penn, of Franklin and of Buchanan. Glorious old Pennsylvania. Nobly has she sustained the Union—proudly, gallantly has she vindicated her great statesman, JAMES BUCHANAN, from the vile and abominable slanders with Which he was assailed for months previous to the election. She has redeemed her pledge at the Cincinnati Con vention, 'and has given a death-blow to Fre montism and Disunionism. All h'ail to the glorious old Keystone State. All hail to her noble Democracy. All hail to the gallant and true-hearted Whigs who so faithfully kept their promise made before the election. All hail to our glorious standard bearers, BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE. All hail to the Union and the Constitution which are made secure by this glorious result in Pennsylvania. The old Keystone sends greeting to Indiana, to Delayyare, to Connecticut, to Virginia, to Kentucky, and to all the Union-loving States of the Confederacy, whether North or South. Pennsylvania has spoken in thunder tones, and her potential voice settles the Presidential question. On the Fourth of March nest, should Providence spare his life, JAMES Br oneself will be inaugurated President of the United States, And the black hordes of Aboli tionism, &c., &c., will be driven back to the filthy kennels from which they emanated. All Hall Indiana The Democrats have elected their Governor and Lieutenant Governor by a majority of over 7,000. They have also elected 7 of the 11 members of Congress, (being a gain of five,) and a majority in both branches of the Legislature ! Ohio Looming Up i Although our friends lost the State on Tues day, they nevertheless succeeded in electing seven members of Congress. This is a clear gain, as in the present ConireSs the whole twenty-one members are either Black Repub licans or Know-Nothings. Not so bad after all, and Ohio will do much better on the 4th of November. Indeed our friends there are confident of carrying the State for BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE. What Have We Gained? PENNSYLVANIA with her 27 electoral votes INDIANA with her 13 electoral votes To which add 120 votes from the Southern States—making 160 votes—or 11 more than sufficient to 'elect. The result in Pennsylvania and Indiana will settle the question in New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hamp shire, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Cali fornia and Wisconsin. These States will cast for BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIGE 82 votes, which added to the above will give them in all 242 votes out of the 296 composing the elec toral colleges. We have thus answered the question at the head of this article. But in addition to en suring the election of our candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, the result of Tuesday's work in Pennsylvania and Indiana determines the still greater question of the perpetuity of the Union. Black Republican ism, alias Disunionism, has been killed out right, and its dead carcase will he buried RD deep in November that the hand of resurrec tion cannot reach it. The Triumph Complete We have elected our State Ticket by SIX. THOUSAND MAJORITY! r - We have elected FIFTEEN of the tweeity ftve members of Congress! We have elected a majority of the Legisla ture, which secures a Democratic U. S. Sena tor! So dies and becomes extinct the "fusion" in 'Pennsylvania. Thus is scattered to the four winds of heaven the fanatical, but dangerous body of sectionalists, who, puffed up with pride and vanity, sought to gain strehgth and posi tion by denouncing the people of one half of the Union, and forcing them to submit to the base spirits who hoped to rule the °fuer por tion with a rod of iron. They are now crushed. In November they will be ground to powder, and utterly exterminated. The Keystone Erect! RUCH AIILN TRIUMPHANT! NIGGERISiI BADLY USED UP! I THE UNION SAFE! Pennsylvania has done her duty nobly and I gallantly. The Democracy and Union-loving citizens of the land of Penn have spoken in thunder tones their devoticin to the Constitu tion, and have driven to the wall the hordes of Abolitionism and Knuw-Nothingisin, with which her borders have been infested.

A Democratic Legislature elected—and a ma jority of the members of Congress. The Presidential question settled in favor of BU CHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE! Stand to your guns, Democrats ! An un scrupulous and desperate enemy is still in the field—behten, it is true, and demoralized, but still treacherous and malignant as ever, and in their desperation will resort to any foul means to retrieve what they have lost. Keep your ranks filled up and' compact, Democrats. Stand to your guns, and b 3 prepared to hurl destruction upon the enemies of the Union and the Constitution on the 4th of November . You did your duty well, Democrats, on Tues day last—but the great and decisive battle is yet to be fought. Be prepared for the enemy at every point. Keep your guns mounted and your powder dry, and be ready to give the cohorts of KnOw Nothing Abolitionism such a tremendous broadside as will forever silence their disunion batteries, and put an end to the senseless and annoying agitation of the slavery question. There is one fact that should he noted rela ative to the result in Pennsylvania on Tuesday last—and that is, that whilst at the election of 1855, as well as at several previous elec tions, the Democracy, although successful, only carried the State by a plurpty, there being three tckets in the field—at the recent election, in the largest poll ever made (and with only two tickets in the field) we beat all the combined forces of the opposition by a majority of over SIX THOUSAND VOTES ! This is the cleanest and most triumphant vic tory ever achieved by the Democracy of Penn. sylvania, and the moral influence it will exert all over the country must have a tremendous effect in settling the Union and the Constitu tion upon a firm and enduring basis. ger The Fremonters had better get their traveling Yankee preacher, LOCKWOOD, to again visit Lancaster and give us a sermon or two on "Kansas and its Martyrs." His ser mons in Fulton Hall, on the Sunday previous to the last election, had the good effect of more than doubling the usual Democratic majority in this city—and if he would only pay another visit here, we have no doubt Mr. BUCHAN.kti'I3 majority in November will be over 1,000 ! We want the Fremont leaders here to trot out this Infidel Abolition Yankee nag again.— Do, gentlemen, give us a sermon or two more of the same kind before the November elec tion. We insist•upon it. 40 electoral cotes Assessment for the Presidential Election An impression seems to prevail in the corn mpity that no provision is made in the Elec tion Laws of this Commonwealth for the assesment of voters after the October election and that, consequently, those who have not been assessed ten days previous to the 14th of October will be precluded from voting at the Presidential election. This, however, is a mistake. By reference to page 37 of the new edition of Mcliinney's Digest of the Elec tion Laws, our readers will find a supplement to an act passed April 11, 1848, which speci ally applies to this subject, and reads as fol lows : Section 11. Every year in which the citi zens of this Commonwealth shall vote for electors of President and Vice President of the United States, the assessors of the several wards, townships, incorporated districts and boroughs of this Commonwealth, except within the city and county of Philadelphia, shall, at all reasonable times after the second Tuesday of October in said years, and until within ten days of the time fixed by law for the election of electors of President and Tice President of the United States, on the personal application of any white freeman claiming to be assessed within the proper ward, township and incor• porated district, or borough, or claiming a right to vote therein, as being between the ages of twenty-one or twenty-two years, and having resided in this Commonwealth one year, enter the name of such person on the list of taxable inhabitants ; and said assessors shall, at least eight days previous to the day fixed for the election of said electors, make out duplicate copies of the name or names so entered, and after certifying and signing the same, shall deliver one copy to the Commis sioners of their respective counties, to be filed by said Commissioners in their respective offi ces, and the other copy the Assessors shall hold and hand over, without alteration or addition, to one of the Inspectors of the proper election district on or before eight o'clock on the morning of the day fixed for the election of said electors. 137 670 50 1,479 Stand to your Guns B=E=l I Lancaster County Claims the Banner There is perhaps not anothertounty in the State that has ,increascd its Democratic vote over last year in the same proportion to Lan caster county. The vote polled for Mr. Pura- ER in 1855 was only 5,099 ; whilst this year, for Scary, it is B,o9—showing an increase of 2.930 votes, or nearly 58 per cent. We even gave an increased vote on the Pierce elec tion of 1451 votes. There is not a county in the State where the Democratic party is better organized, or where they had more to contend with than in Lancaster—and yet some of our Philadelphia friends hardly seemed to know that there was any body at work here at all. Every other county in the State had the names of their speakers and prominent men paraded in the columns of the Pennsylvanian, but poor be nighted Lancaster—and she had nobody (judg ing from the silence of 'our contemporary) within her borders to take the stump at all and advocate the principles of the Democratic party ! Well, perhaps it was so, but let the record our stern and unyielding Democracy made un Tuesday last open the eyes of our friends abroad. At all events we advise the Keystone Club to hand us over that banner at a venture. If they don't du so now, we shall certainly ask for it after the November election—for we shall then present a still stronger claim to the prize Luuk out fur a regular crusher from old Lancaster in November. Congrelimional Gains. The elections un Tuesday last resulted in a gain of 21 members of Congress, viz : Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana Stir The result of the election in this county must be peculiarly gratifying to the Democra cy and Union men, as it is to the candidates upon our county ticket, all of whom •made a glorious run, polling over 8,000 votes. The handsome vote received by Mr. MESTER, is .one of which he may well feel proud. Per haps no other man in the county could have made such a run us he did against the different factions combined against him. Although defeated, the result is really a victory to him. Another Ticket in the Field On Friday last, au attempt was made in Philadelphia to get up a fusion electtSral tick et in this State between the Americans and Black Republicans. The Fillmore or Ameri can Committee, however, by a vote of 14 to 7 refused to coalesce—and subsequently, by a vote of 20 to 2, resolved that it was inexpedi ent to make any alteration in the Fillmore and Donelson ticket in this State." The seven Fillmore men, headed by Mr. Peter Martin of this county, fused with the Black Republicans, and formed another elec toral ticket, with Join C. FREMONT as one of the electors at large ! On that ticket we see the names of M. H. SHIRK, of Lancaster, and SIMON CAMERON, of Dauphin. What do the honest Fillmore men of Lan caster county think of this new move on the political chess-board to transfer them to the Black Republicans. BENNETT SURRENDERS. THE ELECTION OF BUCHANAN CONCEDED. [From the N. V. Elorald of Sunday, Oct. 19.] The Presidential Question—Exact Posi- lion of the Fight The late result in Pennsylvania, in connec tion with the unexpected success of the Democracy in Indiana, indicate pretty clearly the election of James Buchanan as our next President, by a handsome majority of the Electoral College. • We are aware that the Fillmore party of this State have been flattering themselves With the idea that the State of New• York is good for their candidate in November * * We doubt not that which ever party may be first in New York, Mr. Fillmore will be third, and at a considerable distance in the rear of the second ; but if we concede him the vote of New York, what will it amount to with Pennsylvania and Indiana for Buchanan? Nothing—it will amount to nothing. The truth is, that these two skir mishes in Pennsylvania and Indiana are like the battles of ,Ligny and Quatre Bras, preced ing the great day at Waterloo ; and if the opposition forces remain divided on the day of the great battle, like those of Napoleon, Mr. Fillmore will have achieved the glory of Grouchy, and nothing more. The Falsehoods of the Enemy! JAMES BUCHANAN AT HOME.-It is made plain by the news from Pennsylvania, given elsewhere, that the Buchanan democracy have been be,aten in Mr. Buchanan's own town by four to five hundred majority, and in the county by three to four thousand. This shows a wonderful want of pOpularity in the nominee of the border ruffian democracy. The people of Lancaster county and towns are respectable and intelligent; men of logical minds and reasoning habits. They have known Mr. Bu chanan for thirty or forty years; and with all their knowledge of him, both personal and political, they now declare solemnly at the polls that he is not their choice. This is a most singular fact; it indicates that Mr. Bu chanan has in his own State and in his own neighborhood no personal or political popu- larity. We clip the above from tho New York Herald of Friday last, and give it an insertion to show the miserable falsehoods to which a reckless and desperate enemy resort. Instead of the Democracy having been beaten in this City as the Herald asserts, we have carried it by an average majority of over 600 !—and instead of being beaten in the county by from three to four thousand, we have reduced the boasted opposition majority in the county of 5,000, which they have had almost from time immemorial,- to less than one-half that figure, as the official returns will abundantly show! And, instead of showing that Mr. BUCHANAN has "no personal' or political popularity" in his own State or neighborhood, the returns from the State and County show that he is, perhaps, the only man in the Union who could have defeated the hordes of Abolitionism, Know-Nothingism, &c. &c., arrayed against the Democratic party in Pennnsylvania.— There is another fact, which it would be well to notice. - rAIr. BUCHANAN has been eight times (including the present canvass) before the people for their suffrages, and has always Leen successful iu his own county and district. That he will be so again does not admit of a doubt—the falsehoods of the Herald to the contrary notwithstanding. Two beautiful Extracts to be kept before the People. The following extracts cannot be kept too prominently before the people. Wendell Phil lips, a distinguished Abolitionist, who is avowedly in favor of a dissolution of the Union, in a late speech in Massachusetts, said : " There is merit in the Republican party. It is this—it is the first sectional party ever organized in this country. * * It is not national, it is sectional. It is the North ar rayed against' the South. * * The first crack in the iceberg is visible; you will yet hear it gu with a crack through the centre." While our American disunionists thus see merit in the Black Republican party, the Lon don Morning Chronicle, one of Queen Victo ria's organs, deplores the election of Mr. Bu chanan for this reason. It said: " We should be sorry to see Mr. Buchanan elected, because he is in favor of preserving the obnoxious institutions as they exist, AND THE UNITY OF THE STATES. There is no safety for European monarchial governnien if the progressive spirit of the. Democracy of the United States is allowed to succeed. ELECT FREMONT, AND THE FIRST BLOW TO THE SEPARATION OF THE UNITED STATES IS EFFECTED ?" Thre'e Hundred and Twenty-six Dollars a Day—lrt`emont's Twenty-one Days in the United States Senate. Frem. , nt's whole political service consists of the introduction of eighteen bills during the twenty-one days he was in the United States Senate. In alluding to this matter the Wash ington Cnion says: We have looked in this connection, at Col. Fremont's account as a Senator from the 10th to the 30th of September, 1850 : September 30, 1850, 10,270 September 30, 1850, per diem, December 2, 1853, additional mile age, 3,686 miles, short charged, first session, Thirty-first Con gress February 11, 1854, per diem for detention by sickness on journey h..ffie after the first session, 'l•hirty-first Congress, eighty six days Colonel Fremont's friends tell us whether, during the two hundred and thirty days, fur which he charged and received pay, he had nut ample time to prepare his eighteen bills without overtaxing his mental faculties? Will they tell u, what route must be traveled to make the distance from California and back thirteen thousand nine hundred and fifty-six miles? Will they explain why he was not satisfied with what he charged at the time, but demanded an additbsn three years after ward? We should like to be informed where he was taken sick on the road eighty-six days when returning home in 1850 ? This record shows that Colonel Fremont served twenty one days and no more, and that he received $B,llO 40, being at the rate of $386 20 per day. We think he might well afford to draw eighteen bi4for such a per diem. From his returning all'a making au additional claim in 1853, and again in 1854, we get a glimpse at his ruling passion. Do his supporters believe the compensation received by him reasonable and proper? We suppose that most people will come to the conclusion that the $5,948 re ceived in 1850, at the time of the service, was an ample compensation, and that his return ing and demanding over $2OOO more reveals a trait in his character which few will applaud." A Negro Ranter At a Fremont meeting held in Byberry township, Philadelphia county, not long since, the principal orators were an unnaturalized Englishman named Collier, and a negro named Purvis. The following is an extract from the uegro's speech, as taken down by one of the reporters of the Philadelphia News. Read it, freemen of Lancaster county. It carries with it its uwn comments. Tile negro said ; " What are we doing? WE ARE A NA— TION OF ROBBERS, OF LIVIS, OF HY— POCRITES ; we are a nationa.„Elaveholders. We batten and fatten and run riot in the bones and blood of our fellow-men * I am, of course, as you khow politically dis franchised; but still in sentiment, in feeling, in conviction I am a DISUNION—ABOLI— TIONIST, AND I REPUDIATE THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY, for, I think stronger reasons than my friend here has given. Yet I wisa JOHN FREMONT ELECTED. If I had no other reason, the sim ple fact that the South hates him would be a reason why I would suspect him to be an hon est man. But it is not because the South hates him ; it is because I believe he hates slavery. Where do I find him ? There is a Spanish proverb which is a pretty good test of character : Tell me the company you keep and I will tell you what you are." He is found in close affinity with the true friends of freedom. I find him endorsed by sueh men as GERRIT SMITH, of world wide philan thropy and benevolence. I know that some of our friends—Republi cans, they call themselves—exclaim, " Don't, for the world, connect Fremont or our Club with this Abolition movement—you will hurt our cause." Hurt it how? Don't you stand upon a rock? if John Charles Fremont can be elected upon principle, without concealment and without compromise, HIS VICTORY IS OUR VICTORY. DEFEAT HIM WOULD BE DEFEAT TO US. I WANT NO DE— CEPTION. HE HATES SLAVERY, AND WHILE HE SUBSCRIBES, UNFORTU— NATELY, TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COUNTRY, HIS ELECTION WILL BE THE ENTERING WEDGE TO THAT SYSTEM WHICH WILL BRING DOWN ITS RUIN AND FALL BEFORE A GREAT ' WHILE." Buchanan and Pennsylvania Through the gloom and the confusion which existed during the late contest in Pennsylva nia, the name of James Buchanan loomed up like a great hope to the people. The incursion into our good old State of a horde of merce naries—not 5u.211 men as JOHN S. WELLS, LEVI WOODBURY, HALLETT, WRIGHT, RIDDLE, MOORE, AI'I'LETON, NIACDONALD,. and CLEVE LAND, and other gifted sons of New England, who, tried in home conflicts with fanaticism, came here eager to volunteer their acceptable and welcome services to the Democratic party, but the purchased slaves of Disunion—roused an indignant sentiment of State pride, such as has never before been witnessed within our borders. Our people began to look around and to compare Mr. Buchanan with men who were among them to traduce that great/states man. They saw him and the glorious party, of which he is the distinguished leader, bullied and beset by these hounds of faction, and they turned from the prejudices of politics and gathered around him like a wall of fire. They saw in hint a type of the true conservative sentiment of Pennsylvania. Thousands long accustomed to oppose the Democratic party forgot their former prefer ences altd sunk old differences in an ardent acclamation for Pennsylvania, for the man of Pennsylvania, for the honor of Pennsylvania, and for the future of Pennsylvania. Every hamlet felt and acknowledged this sentiment. Even among men who did not respond to it were found many who respected it, and it is this feeling among others which will go far to make the 4th of November a day of memorable triumph in our political annals. We have, as has been truly said, a candidate who is really the right man for the right place, and it is to his eminent advantage that he is not only the right man for the right plat but he comes from the right State, and at State is good old Pennsylvania. Withering Denunciation of the Black Republican Party by Millard Fillmore. MILLARD FILLMORE delivered a speech at Albany, New York, in July, in which he thus refered to the Black Republican party : " Suppose that the South, having a majority of the electoral votes, should declare that they would only have slaveholders for President and Vice President, and should elect such by their exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the North. Do you think we would submit to it? No, not for a moment. [Applause.[ And do you believe that your Southern brethren are less sensitive on this subject than you are, or less jealous of their rights. [Tremendous cheering.] If you do let me tell you that you are mistaken. And, therefore, you must see that IF THIS SECTIONAL PARTY SUC CEEDS, IT LEADS INEVITABLY TO THE DESTRUCTION OF TEAS. BEAUTIFUL FABRIC REARED BY OUR FOREFATH ERS, CEMENTED BY THEIR BLOOD, AND BEQUEATHED TO US AS A PRICELESS INHERITANCE. I tell you, my friends, that I feel deeply, and therefore I speak earnestly on this sub ject,--(cries of "You're right!")—for I feel that you are in danger. lam determined to make a clean breast of it. I will wash my hands of the consequences whatever tHey may be ; and I tell you that we are on the brink of a volcano, that is liable at any moment to burst forth and overwhelm the nation. * * * * It seems to me impossible that those en gaged in this can have contemplated the awful consequences pf success. If it breaks asunder the bonds of our Union, and spreads anarchy and civil war through the land, what is it less than moral treason? (Cries of "nothing— nothing less!") Law and common sense hold a man responsible for the natural consequence of his acts, and must not those whose acts tend to the destruction of the government, be equally held responsible? (Cries of " yes ! yes!" DNS A Democratic meeting will be held at Lampaer Square, on Friday evening, the 31st, at 6 o clock. Several speakers will be present from Lancaster. To the People of Pennsylvania FELLOW-CITIZENS : The Democratic State Central Ommittee of Pennsylvania congratulates the people .of Pennsylvania, and or all die States of khe Union, upon the unprecedented victory which has crowned our exertions. The 14th of October, 1856, will hencefor ward be memorable in our annals. Assailed from within by enemies of! he t',,ostitution, and from without by the 'assail ants of our glorious confederacy, we have nobly triumphed. Too much credit cannot be given to the manner in which our organization has 'been perfected and carried out. It is impossible for language to convey the profound gratitude we entertain for our:gal lant and eloquent friends from other States who have come hither to assist us in this great struggle. $ 4,108 (J 1,840 00 1,474 40 But our duty is not fully discharged. We have utterly routed the enemies of our free institutions upon the sacred soil from which the Declaration of Independence, was proclaimed, and upon which the Constitution of the U. States was adopted. In the hour of victory it is however well to remember that there are other obligations to be fulfilled, and that an organization so com plete, so admirably and so widely extended, must still be adhered to. $B,llO 40 Therefore, fellow-citizens, persevere in .the good work so nobly begun; rejoice over the magnificent triumph you have achieved ; and remember that the 4th day of November; now close at hand, is that day upon which you are to complete the great work yesterday so aus piciously commenced- Pennsylvania, the great barrier against which the waves of sectionalism have dashed, has maintained her proud integrity. While all the new world has looked upon her—while all patriotic hearts have huped that she would stand firm in the midst of the terrible respon sibility imposed on her—she has preserved a noble moderation and an inexorable firmness. She has repelled from her presence the men who have been sent among•her population, to deceive and betray them. The great victory we have achieved has, first of ,all, sustained our illustrious and be loved Bchanan. Here, in his own State, the torrent of fa naticism has been stayed. Here, where he was born, and where he has lived a life of signal purity and patriotism, he has been upheld by the proud and generous ' people of Pennsylvania. The enobling sentiment of State pride. has done much for us in the contest. Our people have responded to their glorious leader, to his history, and to the long list of services which have immortalized his name ; and from this day henceforth it will be Some thing to say that a Pennsylvanian, true to his country and true to himself, will not want to wait for friends among his own fellow-citizens. The Platform of the Democratic National Convention, upon which James Buchanan stands, has been vindicated ; the great princi ple of popular sovereignty advocated in every school District and township in the Skate, during the conflict, has been vindicated, and the aspersions upon his character have been refuted and trampled under foot. And the proud honor of achieving this splendid result belong, not to the old Demo cratic party alone, which, with reanimated vidor, entered into the contest and persevered to the end, but we are glad to acknowledge that ft has been shared by thousands of na-, tional Whigs who have assisted us with all their energies, and who are henceforth to be counted as our brothers, and our compatriots. From this day till the 4th of November, 1856, let meetings be held in every School District and Township in the State. Let us keep up the fire which now burns so brightly. Let us not be deceived by the idea that the opposition will be divided. Fused on the 14th of October, and confused by the tremendous and and memorable rebuke they have received, for trying to deceive the people of the State, they will seek to shelter themselves by another combination in No vember. They are enemies to us and to the Consti tution alike, no matter what name theybear, or under what flag they rally. Those who have professed to be ',National have sunk their Nationality in an eager desire to defeat the only National Party in existence; and those who were sectional have attempted to postpone or apologize for their sectionalism, in order to win a guilty victory: Once more the Democratic State Central Committee appeals to the National people of the State to maintain their organization; and to continue the work so nobly began, until it is as nobly finished on the 4th day of Novem ber, 1856.

The North has received two million acres, and the South a little over a halt mil lion, to wit, 602,000 acres.

COMMUNICATIONS Buchanan Campaign Papers Was there everin the history of our country presented a scene like the present commingling of Religion and Politico 1 Do we attend the preaching of our Ministers, and it is hard to tell what the subject la—heaienly or earthly, the pulpit or rostrum far political declamation: Or do we open a newspaper and we are puszledso determine at first sight whether it is devoted to political or religious subjects. It is there that exceptions to these trnthe are oc casionally to be met with; but in all parts of our land, and particularly in the northern and eastern portions, the pul pit and the stump gives utterance to theological ;dogmas, and thunder forth excited political harangues irrespec tive of the place or the occasion. What all this will result in we do not know, or have we the prophetic ken to predict. There is in the present order of things—in the mifist of all the confusion and commotion one lamentable reversal of the order of things—the pulp it is the political stand and in many instances the political stand the pulpiteice, the attempts of Abolitionism and Black Rept:Millennia in ex. pounding their theories for the benefit of the new°. Do they suppose that in their unholy mingling of:politics with religion or religion with politics they are furthaiing the great design of heaven and universal law—do they act conscientiously to the letter of their religion—we think not ; their course is as unnatural, as unreasonable; as irra tional mit le disastrous to the best Interests of hinnanity. Or do they, (the Abolition religious community;) think abolition politics and religion twin sisters. Admitting that religious principles should guide us in our civil relations one with the other—yet religion should not 1.1 brought down and lie defamed and defiled in the murky !pool of politics. It should net be hawked about and sold out to the different party cliques by ruined party hacks, and all for the purpose of swaying the popular opinion and there by securing 'votes. The Democracy have never resorted to any such measures, which cannot but be repugnant to the sober second thinking people, and yet as much true religion is to be found in the Democratic ranks as anywhere else. 'Obi a fact, incontrovertibly true, that this mixing of re ligion with politics Is only found in the ranks of the oppo. sition, in the party cabals and party cliques opposed to the principles advocated bythe democratic organisation. Our party acknowledges the laws of the country to bri, founded on the laws of Ckod—m given to man through inspired revelation, and has always stood firm in maintaining that the Constitution was based on no other principle, and this is one reason why the Denim:icy are so jealous to' uard it.

Pa triot, are beginning again to express serious apprehension about Kansas. There is peace dad quiet in Kansas, and that they know will prove death to their cause. They are therefore again filling their papers with the old stories about the Governor giving protection only to the pro-slavery men, and laboring " to crush out" the free-state party. This is all false, manufactures for political effect. No man could have pursued a more prudent, just and energetic course than Gov. Geary has adopted. Ile ordered all the armed bands to disperse or quit the Territory at once, and the pro-slavery forces to the number of 2700, obeyed the order: but Jim Lane refused to do so with his band of robbers, and ,Gov. Geary therefore took vigorous measures to force his obedience. He I put himself at the head of a body of U. States , troops and went in pursuit of Lane, and over ! taking about 100 of his men engaged in rob ! bery and violence, he arrested them, and Lane at once "_took leg bail," with the remainder of his tatterdemalions, and the last ! heard of them they were robbing a living from the people of Nebraska. For this energetic act, performed in connection wit.' like vigorous proceedings againstcertain pro-slavery leaders, the black papers and letter-writers are now abusing Gov. Geary. But there is no founda tion for their complaints ; every act and word of Gov. Geary shows him to be at determined man, imbued with a spirit of justice and im partiality—that be is earnestly, honestly and successfully laboritg to promote the best inter ests of Kansas,and to protect all bona fide settlers in their rights. And he will succeed; of that we have no doubt, and that is the secret i of black republican abuse of him. To show his spirit and views, as well as the opposition he has met with from the free-state rebels, we quote the following case. He made an official visit to Topeka, one of the chief hot beds of treason. Upon the people being as sembled, one of the free-state leaders, in a bold manner, gave the Governor to undOstand that he might suppose himself to be the legal governor, but he, (the speaker,) considered Mr. Robinson as the real, governor, and that he conscientiously felt that he owed fealty to no other. Many others wished to interrogate the Governor, and others desired to commit him to their own line of policy. They all got the same answer; and finally, the Governor finding himself under the necessity of bringing controversy to a close, took occasion to make just such a speech as nobody with a thimble full of brains could fail to understand. !The following is given as ft verbatim report of his remarks: "Gentlemen, I come not to treat with, but to govern you. There is now in this Territory no other Governor that John W. Geary. I will protect the lives and property of every peace loving and law abiding citizen with all the power committed to me. I will punish every law breaker.. I will nut fur a moment tolerate any questionincr ' of my authority.— Every person in favor of restoring peace to this distracted territory can range himself under my banner ; all others I will treat as robbers and bandits, and I shall extirpate them at the point of the bayonet.. Don't talk to me about slavery or freedom, free men or pro-slavery men, until we have restored the benign influ ence of peace to this beautiful country—until we have punished the murderer, and driven out the bandit and rabble, and returned the industrious citizens to their homes and claims. Don't, I pray you, embarrass me with political questions. You shall all, without distinction of party, be protected. This is not a time to talk about party, when men, women and chil dren are daily murdered and driven from their homes. In GOd's name, rise for a momont above party, and contemplate yourselves as men and patriots. I am your friend, your fellow-citizen, moved by no other impulse than the good of the bona fide inhabitants of this Territory, and the protection of their lives and property.— When peace shall be restored, I will see that every man df you is protected in his political rights." This is what is needed in Kansas, and just what Gov. Geary is doing; and fur this rea son, because he is acting honestly and vigor ously, and because his efforts are likely to be rewarded with entire success, he is abused and villified by the champions of " bleeding Kansas." They see that Kansas is not likely to " bleed" any more, and that they will there by lose most of their political capital. They will therefore continue to lie, and to fill their papers with false news and manufactured out rages in order to keep up excitement and to delude honest people into voting for Fremont with a view to heal the wounds of "bleeding Kansas." Many will be thus deceived, and after the election they will curse their deceiv ers ; but their curses will not recall their votes nor repair the wrong they will do. Better be warned in season. Turn a deaf ear to all the blood and murder stories told about Kansas; for they will all prove false, manufactured solely to deceive. Every " shriek for Kansas" is a shriek for Fremont, and fur a dissolution of the Union, for bloodshed, civil war and anarchy ; and every patriotic citizen should beware that he is not led astray thereby.— Vote for Buchanan, and you will follow the the dictates of patriotism, and be sure of an approving conscience hereafter. I=! We find the subjoined paragraph in an ex change paper which places an important mat ter on its true ground. Read it attentively : THE SLAVERY-EXTENSION FALSEHOOD.—The charge of slavery extension cannot be sustained by feet or by argument against the Democratic party. The platform adopted at Cincinnati does not contain a line, a word, or a letter, Which pledges the Democratic party of the country to the extension of slavery beyond its present limits. The candidates of that con vention have not written or uttered a syllable in favor of such a policy. The Democracy remain upon the same ground assumed by them upon the acquisition of California and New Mexico, maintained in 1848; sustained in 1852, and then endorsed by the Whig na tional convention, to wit—the principle of non intervention, and the policy of non-interference, by Congress, with slavery in the states or Ter ritories of the Union. The Democracy do not propose to depart, and they are not to be driven from this position, whatever an ultra organ, North or South, may declare to the contrary. • Whenever the affairs of Kansas shall be brought to a settlement, it will be through the instrumentality of the people of that Tertitory, and not by the dictation of citizens of Missouri or Massachusetts; and wholly in accordance with the doctrines of the Democratic party. No Taxation Without Representation The great principle contended for by our Revolutionary fathers in 1776, was that there should be "no taxation without representation." The British Parliament, they claimed, had no right to legislate for the American colonies when they had no representative in that body. Who can claim that the patriots of '76 were un just in their demands, who believes in a Repub lican form of Government? In 1856 we have a party in this country which occupies the same position that the Tories of the British Parliament did in 1776. They claim that the people of the Territories, instead of raking their own laws and regulations by a local leg islature, should be governed by the Congress of the United States, a body in which they are not represented and have no vote. Here is the whole ground of difference between the Democracy and the Black Republicans.

The Know-Nothings made a sad mistake on Tuesday last, by uniting with the Black Re publicans, Lind becoming identified with Nig ' gerism. Had they pifeserved their own iden tity, they would itt lef l ist have commanded the respect of Liu intelligent people, and been thus ,placed in a position to accomplish something fur themselves in thb future. But, having submitted to the foul and disgusting embrace of Abolitionism, and having entirely given up their separate and distinct organization, noth ing now remains fur them than to suffer pa tiently all the kicks and cuffs with which their negro-loving tastßmasters now greet them at every turn. Hear what the New York Herald of Thursday 'morning (iu its article claiming a Republican victory in Pennsylva nia, says: " But the great emir: of the small republi can majority in Pennsylvania is in the fact that they fought the batsle upon a false party organization and upon false issues. Anow- Nothinyism was the dead weight which nearly broke the Camel's back in Pennsylvania.— On the contrary, in lima, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana, where the Fremont party kicked tins mischief-making monstrosity of Know-Nothingism out of doors, and fought the fight Upon the simple issues of hostility to this Pierce4tdministration, and this rottennullification deinocracy, and of hostility to the democratic policy of making Kansas a slave State by fire.and sword, they have car ried everything before them. This was the course, and is now the only course for the opposition party to pursuo in Pennsylvania. Let them rid Fremont of this dead carcase of Knoie Nothingism—led them put up a clean Fremont electoral State ticket, and fight the battle upon the great living is sues of the day, between the constitutional policy of Fremont, and the nullification fili bustering and border 'ruffian pro-slavery policy of the debauched democracy. Next, having" done this, let the Fremont party, thus . purificd and liberated from the dead weight of a dead body, proceed to organize, circulate documents, and papers, and speakers, and judicious agents in. behalf of floating voters, in every hole and corner of the State, and then, on election day, three weeks hence, With the reserved vote of ten thousand men of l the quiet and religious old settlers, the victory in Pennsylvania, in November, instead of being five or ten thou sand majority, as shoWn by the returns of this morning, will be made a glorious victory fur Fremoht of twenty thirty thousand. * * * * * 1. In a word, Mr. Fillmore in the Northern States, is "a dead cock in the pit." These late elections prove that his opposition is a benefit, and his assistance an injury to the Fremont movement. The mixing of Know- Nothingism with the Fremont cause in Penn sylvania probably lost the opposition thous ands of honest voters who can be reclaimed. Pennsylvania, upon a clear party platform of unmixed Fremont principles, and A PURE FRE 'MONT ELECTORAL TICKET, will give an overwhelming and triumphant vote in No vember. With a popular majority just ob tained in the State contest, if it be but a ma jority of a hundred votes or less, the victory in the national battle is sure. No time ifrta- - be lost." More Comfort for the Know•-Nothings! We clip the following choice extracts from the New York Herald's leader of Frido:l,to which we invite the special attention of our Fillmore friends: We have no doubt now, from what we have seen, that if the Fremont party, instead of corn plicatiny their cause and their candidate with the rump of Know Noihinyism and the peddling tricksters of the Fillniore faction, had present ed themselves before the people of Pennsylva nia upon a clean issue, as between Fremont and Buchanan, that, instead of a lean and contested popular majority, they would have carried the State by thirty or forty thousand. The few huckstering Know Nothings which they might have lost would have been amply compensated for in larger accessions from the old fashioned democracy. * * * * * The heavy opposition vote of the back coun ties of Pennsylvania, where Fillmore and his Know Nothingism were out of the way, is highly eignificant of 'the great secret of the strength of the opposition party; while, on the other hand, the strength of, the democrats in those localities where' Fillmoreism was felled npon to defeat them, shows ae clearly ite enfeebling influences of this defunct element q know Nothinyism. **• * * A more unscrupulous horde of hungry blood suckers, ve date say, never existed in any party, or in any country, than the horde composed of the leader.i,manatiers and hucksters of the Know ..Vothiny. Fillmore camp. They use him as aldecoy thick, or stool pigeon Ibr the lame ducks of the spoils democracy in every Northern State: * * * All these things gp to show that Mere is nothing but treachery rn any coalition with these Fillmore traitors and hucksters in the votes of their deluded fulloweri3 ; and that in Pennsyl vania, as in New York and the New England States, and in Ohio and the West, these Fill more managers are willing to sell themselves to Buchanan at less than cost. The result in favor 'of the Fremont move ment, against a powerful, united and desperate enemy, against stupid f committees and treach erous spoilemen, and toith this ilead weight of the dead body of Know _Nothingism upon its back, proves the irresistible strength of the Fremont cause with the people, over all ob structions and impediments. - IT MUST co OUT IS (BLOOD !—Gerrit Smith is out in a long letter, in which he says : " As you are aware, I do not attach that great importance to the approaching election which so many do. I have come to despair o f the peaceful termination of slavery. It must go out in blood. , The time for abolishing it at the ballot•box has gone by never to re turn."
