tests could wield against the Ifernocracy was bro . (

to still retain any charms, and in many such sec

evil against us. The cry of "Henn" to the's° inter

with remorseless avidity ; the forge fires in many
itaaauces were blown out and the coal shafts clos

Such is the casein a vast many instances, and such
are among the most prominent causes of our de

in certain sections it was impossible to overcome.

in power—t-ow falsely our readers already well
know. This ,o:iginated a prejudice that barred the
mind of those affected against reason and convic
tion, and even in that operated grctatly to our disad
vantage. In this way we hare lost—the State and
Nation. In this way—by duplicity, coercion, the
fee use and powerful induence of the motley of
the corporation and mania:aiming interests, and
by disaflecticn among Democrats--Federalom has
- achieved a triumph: whether for good or for evil
remains for the future to disclose.

ple in an odious light—l shall speak of him only
as lam warranted by the strcrit it al Truth. I sta
ted that the endorsement ofthe " W ilmot Pmviso,"
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, came upon
this aspirant for the Presidency like a clap of
thuu
der from a cloudless sky. Why W 144 he so start
.led I I will explain. The South was supposed to
stand as a mid in oppositi , n to the I'msiso. The
resolutions of the Alabama legi,lature, the Virgin
ia LegiPlature, and other hulk...lions, show•el that
the South would not rote for any man who was fa-
vorable to it—in other words, they would oppose
any man who was iniffiendly to the admission of
additional slave territory into the Union. Thit.Ar-
,2135-eyed politician whose "longing, lingering lo.ok
was hued on the White House, saw in the Provi-
so the ileath•blow to his hopes in the South nnless
he could break tlie fore of this endorsement of it
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. His obj e ct
was to gain, if possible. the votes of the South, with
out alienating the North, Ppecially Pennsylvania,
without whose supped" he would be powerless.
Whereupon. certain pre&rces in the imerest of
" Pennsylvania's favorite son," as his Segnitors
and servitors delight to call him, denounced der!
Proviso in unmeasured terms, as a " fi.ebrantl,"
au "apple of discord," and as the "torch of an in
cendiary, designed to light the tires of civil war.''
These creeenres were not lung permitted to stand
alone in their denunciations of the mgasine. The
prime mover of the opposition to it in Pennsylva-
nia soon took occasion to show his band M F.S
Buclux.tx, Secretary of State, at one time suppos
ed to be the favorite of Mr. Polk for the succes
ion,
lerrthe influence of his potent name to crush
the rising, hopes of the friends of Freedom. in Ac
cost, 1847. the. Democracy. of Berks county held a
Harvest Home Celebration at Reading , to which
meeting Mr. Buchanan transmitted his confiden
tial.friend, E. %V. Ilcrrea, then his private secre
tary, with a carefully written letter, dated the 2.5 th
of that month, in which he recommended the adop.
lion of the " Missowi Compromise," or the line
of 361 degrees north latitude, as the limit beyond
which slavery should not pass. Forgetting the
rale of the distinguished author of thii "Comprom
ise," he plunged into the same slough, and there
he Bounders to this day. This letter was des4meil
to averimplish three objects—all of them impor
tam in the mind of the astute and ambitious Secre
tary. I will enumerate them :
I. There resided in the North a man of a pure
and spotless life, who had been tendered the nom
inalort for the Vice Presidency in 1844, which he
declined This man, by the influence of his name
and character in •1844, secured the election of James
K. Polk to the Presidency, and the triumph of the
Democratic party. lle was looked upon univer.
sally as the choice of the Democracy as their stan
dard hearer in the contest of 1848. One aim of
this letter was to checkmate 4.4ltra W amity. Mr.
Wright was eminently a man of the People. De
mocracy with him was something more than a
name; it was an animating principle. It was of
that sort which embodies all that is good, holy, and
virtuous—which promotes peace on earth, arid
good will among men—,which is mi d to its code.
benevolent ins . its intentions and is tenacious of mor
al, religious, and political rights—which respects
'the rights of persons, property, and conscience—
which tends to destroy inequality, suflering, and
poverty, and protects and nurtures the g eneral in
terest of swirly—which enacts to benefit th- many,
•without conflicting with the constitutional rights or
privileges or the minority—which aids labor, and
fosters the cultivation of the aril, whence all oar
wealth is derived—which hat no love for persecu
tion; but whose course, like that of Truth, is on
ward—which levels distinctions among men, ex
eept that which arises from integrity, virtue, and
merit—which exposes the pimping, avaricious,
domineering, cruel and overbearing—which has
nothing in common with intolerance, corruption,
and depraved ambition—nothing compatible with
fraud, humbug,
delusion, or anarchy—whose em
pire is founded on wisdom, freedom, and thee:W
inners of a world now grovelling in error, super
stition, and despotism—whose mission. is to the
-heart of kindness, good will, and love • and to the
'head of utility and progress. The peopie were anx
ions to show their appreciation o fthe character of
this man, by thrusting such honors upon him as
were vainly sought for by more aspiring, but less
pure men. Knowing that no national institution
can long subsist on false pretences, Mr. Wright
was friendly to the Proviso, and was supposed by
Mr. Buchanan to be his moat formidable rival for
the P s temoenuic nemitiation ter the Presidency.
But Providence, in his merry, called Silas Wright
to a brighter crown than that worn by kings. and to
a higher seat than that occupied by Presidents.
Mr. Mnt,cton Mites, in his life of Keats, says: " As
men die, so they walked among posterity.'' If
this be so, then was Silas Wright called hence at
an appropriate time. In his death, every man lost
a Intend. but no man an enemy. The nation
mnnrn
ed his less, and refused to be comforted: Mark
the dates : On the 25iii of August, Mr. Buchanan's
letter was written ; on the 27th of the same month,
(two days afterwards.) Silas Wright was 'lumber
ed with the - dead. Here was an illustration of •
craftiness being taken in its on-n snare. Subse
quent events seemed to show that Mr. Buchanan
was checkmated himself.
2. The second object to be achieved by this let
ter was scarcely less important thaii the fi.ss It was
Mr. Buchanan's aim to give ttie rue to his bipeds
in Pennsylvania. II.9• to what ground he wished
them to occupy on the Proviso question. Penn
sylvania is not unlike other States in one particn
Ito: she contains within her borders certain mer.
cenary p liticians,2if the "Vicar of Bra! - " school,
who make politics a ~a me, and who comprise ev
erything in one word—Snare. This class of poli
ticians are always fumy' islyin,g court at the foot
stool of power ; like unelean birds, they scent the
smell of plunder - front afar. It is not surprising.
therefore, that immediately after the appearance of
this letter, quite a number of those who wished to
stand fair with the potent Secretary and President
in expectancy, showed a wonderful alacrity in
mounting the Secretary's platform.
3. The third object of Mr. Buchanan in this let
ter
was to indicate to the South that he was with
them in opposition to the Proviso—that he was
against the clearly-expressed will of his native
State—and that..should they support him for the'
Presidency, he would unite with them in " dirt
ding the spoils.",
This letter was heralded in advance, as indica
ting the "i r 'some of the Administration lor the'
next Congressional campaign, and the princip le
upon which the Administration means to rally its
friends, North and South," &c.—it was published

A Col: or INTERKST.—About fifteen years 4
ago a
respectable married lady lost her only child, and
as a sort of balm to her grief, a few weeks after
wards took and adopted a female infant, of nine or
ten mo Atm, offered to her by a colored female, liv
ing at the outskirts of the city To whom the
child belonged or how she came possessed of it,
the colored possessor refused to afford arty infor
mation whatever. The lade, however, who took
the child, a • few years atierwards died, and the
child has-since resided with the family of the de
ceased lady's mother, has been well brought up,
and is now a pretty and interesting child, almost
to woman growth, of black hair, and dark blue
eyes. She has learned enough of her history to
know that those to whom she owes the care of her
infancy anti childhood ale not her parents, although
they have nniformily extended to her great kind
ness. she feels herself alone in the s of kb and daily,
as Teans ripen and strengthen her mind, the one
idea of knowing the author of tier being, takes
deeper and deeper hold of her faculties, so that
now, after 15 years. her' solicitude on the subject
is at times painfully affecting to witness. Last
week, as she was returning from a neighboring
store, she discovered an advertisement on the piece
of an old newspaper in which a parcel she held in
her hand was enveloped, inquiring for a child some
years ago lost or stolen, and she has since been
more sinheitous than ever to have her peculiar sit
ualion' made public. Whether she was stolen by
- the colored female from whom she was taken, or
whether she had been left with her and uneatdral
ly deserted afterward, or whether either of the 'pa
rents are now living, are matters all unknown, and
naturally created the liveliest solicuu le with the

Si,rrA Axxi.--Santa Anna has been robbed at
Jamaica by some rascal not having a due sense of
this enormity of stealing the property of se (listing
a personage. Tu e Jamaica Journal gives
the (acts in the following from :
On Friday nrtht last.a man was discovered in the
premises of General Santa Anna, carrying. away a
box belonging to one of the General's servants : —
The fellow was captured, and the owner of the box
was for taking his prisoner to the cage; bit Santa
Anna proposed that he should be secured for the
night, and in the morning be could be lodged in
the bands of the authorities. The box was there
fore taken away from and, at the suggestion
of the General. he n-as n-ell tied to a tree, in such
manner that there was no doubt of his security.—
The General seemed, however, to have bad some
doubts, for he got rip morn than once (luring the
night to satisfy himself that the fellow was safe.—
About tv - o o'clock, he again left his bed to• have

EXTRAORDINAUY FoPOILS.- 1 We learn that about
three weeks since, the workmen emplo)ed in ex.
raveling the summit cut of Rolland Railroad, Mount
Holly; discovered a fossil tooth, and in a fine state
of presveraiion. It lay in'a tonck pit, three or font
inches below the surface of the grotn.d which at
!that point underlies the muck. •The tooth is about
eight inches longon its,face . and four or five broad
and weighs. as our informant thinks, seven or eight
pounds. The color is a dark lead'. The tooth was
taken from the south side of the cut, near the brink.
A few days since, at the same point, in the.edge
ot the pit, a fossil horn was taken out, More than
four feet long, and four inches in diameter. The
color is darker than that of the moth, and both ends
are decayeci and gone. The surface is hard and
tough, and feels like horn.
.The pith is blifile,
gaily crused between the fingers, and unctuous to
the touch. It is highly probably that more ofThese
remains will he 'found at or bear the spot —Our

I was shown by the chief clerk in the interior

Dr. Franklin Char4es himself with one years via
