" We repeat, then, that policy and humani ty alike forbid the extension of the nils of free so ciety to new people and coming generations. " Two opposite and conflicting forms of so ciety cannot, among civilized men co-exist and endure. The one must give away and cease to exist. The other becomes uuiversal. " If free society be nnnatnral, immoral and unchristian, it must fall and give awav to slave society—a social system old as the world, uni versal as man." Another paper published in Virginia the South Side lknwerat a journal distinguished for its faithful support of Mr. Buchanan thus expresses its honest indignation nt the slang about freedom and whatever belongs to it.— The editor says— "We have got to hating everything with the prefix FREE, from free negroes down and up through the whole catalogue— FßEE farms j FREE labor FREE Society, FREE will, FRKRthink ; ing, FREE children and FREE schools—all he longing to the same brood of damnable isms. j But the worst of all these abominations is the modern system of FREE SCHOOLS. The New j England system of free schools has been the ; cause aud prolific source of the infidelities and i treasons that have turned her cities into Sod oms and Gomorrahs, and her land into the cora i mon nestling place of howling Bedlamites.— 1 \\ e abominate the system, because the schools are free." The Mttsrrgee Ifrarld, a whole-souled Bu chanan paper, published in Alaliama, has the i courage to utter its sentiments in these words: " Free Society ! we sicken nt the name.— What is it but a conglomeration of GREASY ME CHANICS, FILTHY OPERATIVES, SM ALL FISTEU FARM ERS and moon struck THEORISTS ? All the Northern aud especially the New England I States ure devod of society fitted for well i bred gentlemen. The prevailing class one meets with is that of mechanics struggling to be genteel, and small farmers who do their own drudgery ; and yet who are hardly fit for as sociation with a Southern gentleman's body servant. This is your free society which the Northern hordes are endeavoring to extend in to Kansas." Let any candid man reflect on this language of the Muscogee llera'd, and if he wishes to prcw it the lower classes of northern society — the greasy mer/iamcs and filthy operatives and su. ii feted farmers of the free IS tales, from bau;ng a home in Kansas and in the great West, he w ill do as the Muscogee Herald and all the noble and ohivalric supporters of Mr. Buchanan in the South are doing ; —he will work ant 1 vote to elect that great son of Penn sylvania, and secure what our gallant southern friends desire ; he will make Kausas a Slave State, a home "fitted for well-bred gentlemen," not a community where " the prevailing class is mechanics struggling to be genteel, and small farmers doing their own drudgery," as no gen- Geui&a farmer in the south ever dot- aud as no geutlciMau farmer ought to do anywhere, or would do if the progressive doctrine of white as well as black slavery were adopted in our country. Senator Downs, of Louisiana, puts the mat ter ia a dear light. In o::e of his fine, bold, democratic speeches, he lately said :—- " I call the opponents of slavery to prove that the WHITE LABORERS of the north are as happy, as contented, or as comfortable as the SLAVE of the South. In the South the slaves do not suffer one-tenth of the evils en dured by tire white laborers of the North.— Poverty is Buknown to the Southern slave, for as soon as the master of slaves becomes too jvoor to jicovide for them, he SELLS them to others who can take care of them. This, sir, is one of the excellencies of the system of slavery, and this the superior condition of the Southern slave over the Northern WHITE la borer." Is not Senator Downs right ? Can't our White Working Men see that if they were slaves they would always be taken care of ? Can't they understand, that if oue master should become too poor to keep them, he could sell them to another, who of course would buy and take care of them ? What can be plain er ? Is not every working man a thing to be taken care of? And how fortunate the socie ty, where working men, white as well as black can be sold to a benevolent master, who w ill take care of them as long as tiny can earn money for him ? We might e.\*ond this matter indefinitely.— , We could show by any number of extracts how ! honest the Southern Democrats are, proclaim-1 ing the principles on which they support their j party, and how they rely on the favorite son of Pennsylvania to fulfil the pledges of the ' Cincinnati Platform, and ojvn the Territories of the West to the institution of Slavery ; an 1 institution which they prove is good alike for ! black and white mechanics, laborers and farm ! ers placing them in the happy position of slaves ! on an equal footing with them, to l>e bought ; and sold and projierly cared for, without being sjxviled by free wages, or free schools, or any of the evils and follies of free society. Democrats ! stick to your party and secure the blessings of slavery to yourselves aud your children from the Mississippi to the Pacific. THE TORRE DOCTORS. —Geo. W. Curtis, T.sq. in the course of a speech at|a !• reinont meet, tig at Jersey City, last week, is reported to have given the following very successful application to the Presidential candidates : " It is said the Union is in danger, and measures must be taken for its preservation. We see before us the Union and the Constitu tion sick of an attack of slavery, and several doctors are called to prescribe for the patient. First, we have a man with a white cravat, which shows that he is of the regular faculty. He inquires the symptoms, and says, "ray ojiin iou is that this patient requires a little dose of of slaverv." This gcutlenian is Dr. Buchanan. (Laughter j Theu we hare another physician, whose fea tures we cannot very plainly discern, the ex pr-ssio? of whose faee is hidden from us by rejtM nof the dark lantern in his hand. (Laugh ter.) Suddenly he throws the light wavering and uncertainly, so that we cannot see the real c.\prc c -ion of the patient, and this gra v e phy PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., BY E.

(Laughter.) That is Dr. Fillmore. Here comes the man of the new school, a man in whose energy and youth, and percep tion, and wisdom, you can rely ; and what says he ? Unbind your patient ; let loose his hands and free his feet. Wha( he wants is his hands and feet free, his heart free and his head free. What he wants is air, is light, is liberty. Your patient will not die. (Loud cheers.) This, gentleman, is Dr. John (J. Fre mont. (Renewed cheers. He will raise from the ground his bleeding friend, the Constitu tion and bear him to a place of permanent j safety, rest und peace.—(applause.) The Paulo about Pennsylvania. The editor of the Louisville Journal , Mr. PRENTICE, says in his paper that a large num ber of citizens of Lonisville have just returned from a visit to the eastern states, aud bear concurrent and overwhelming testimony to the i fact ihac there u no chance whatever for Mr. Buchanan to Carry his oirn state of Pennsylva nia. A prominent democrat of that city— one of the most active aud valuable members of the demcratic party, who has just returned j from the east says that the democratic party give np the state, and that, from what he saw and heard, he has no hope whatever that Mr. BUCHANAN can carry Pennsylvania. That is the opiuiou everywhere. Even the Washington Union is panic-stricken, and makes the following jiathetic apjieal : " Especially to Pennsylvania we repeat this appeal. It is a state which has hitherto claim ed to have an unyielding devotion to the Un ion. We ask, can its patriotic citizens vote again for such men as have proven by their conduct that they desire to dissolve the Union? Will the citizens of that great state turn against themselves and against their brethren of other states ? Will they forget the generation of the great and patriotic inen to whom we refer, who came out of the revolution, aud taught the first political lessons of our government ? Will they forget that other generation which followed them, in which their own distinguish ed statesman, James Buchanan was a promi nent actor ?" The answer to this appeal of the adminis tration organ, in November, will be, that Penn sylvania will make good her claim of unyield ing devotiou to the Union, aud that she cannot " vote again for such men as have proven by their conduct that tliev desire to dissolve tlii? Union," aud therefore she will not vote for Mr. BUCHANAN and his party, for they "de sire to dissolve this Union," if they cannot help southern slaveocracy to extend slavery. She will also answer that she does not forget the " great and jiatriotic men of the revolution and that she will remember not only that oth er generation iu which JAMES BUCHANAN was an actor, but the present one in which he is acting, and the remembrances of the first will teach her to repudiate the aits of JAMF.S BU CHANAN and bis jiarty in the last, for tiie great and patriotic men of the revolntion stood on the jdatform of freedom,while BUCHANAN stands on the platform of slavery extension. I*aijr Conclusive evidence of the falsity of the charge of jveculatiou brought by the Dem ocratic jiarty against Col. Fremont, is furnish ed by the Democratic party themselves. Since that charge was first made, the Dem ocratic party have elected Fremont United States Senator. Since that charge was made, many of the leaders of that jiarty, including J. C. Calhoun, ' Senator Dix, Senator Alien, Senator Rusk, Ac., have publicly endorsed his integrity and ability. Since that chnrerc was made, a Democratic Congressional Committee has pronounced his accounts with tiie government correct, and that decision ha- been unanimously endorsed ' by a Democratic Congress. Since that charge was made made, and only a few months ago, a number of prominent mem- IKTS of the Democratic party endeavored to induce Col. Fremont to consent to run as the j Democratic candidate for President ! Are we to believe that the Democratic party honors and applauds " cattle-stealers,' 1 makes them Senators, and desires to make them Pres idents ? or that Col. Fremont is a man of sj>ot less integrity whom Buchanan is endeavoring to kill off by foul slanders as he did Henry Clay ? FILLMORE AS A CANDIDATE.—A Virginia Fill more jiaper. published in Berkeley county, call ed the Anicri'-an. copies the returns of the nver whelming Republican victory iu Vermont, and says ; " So, also, trcnt lotva, and so wcnld go eve ry free State, if Mr. Fillmore were ont of the way. Where the contest is simply between Buchanan and Fremont, Buchanan is beaten by thousands, and Vet the sham Democracy are crying < ut. withdraw Fillmore, for the contest j is between Buchanan and Fremont." This is the general tone of the Fillmore press at the South, and it betrays plainly j enough that the sole pnrjwse in running Mr. Fillmore is uot to elect him, but merely to j>re vent the snccess of Fremont. tcS" The Carolina Times having heard the news from Maine, is more than ever certain that Fremont aud Dayton will lie elected, and j exhorts Sonth Carolina to hare nothiug to do with the hopeless struggle in behalf of Buchan an, and even to refuse to vote at all in the elec- j tion. Of course The Times is hot for disunion but it is obliged to admit that its remedy is prejx>sterous. South Carolina will look on with " stolid indifference and stoicism," while the candidate of the gTcat constitutional party of the country is elected j while his upright, impartial administration of the Oorerumeut j will command the warm approval of honest I men evervwhere " REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER." Slavery in Pennsylvania. There is one position assumed by the ffbam oeratic party in the pending Presidential cou test, which must inevitably lead to results but little anticipated, and which appear to be but little considered. It i 6 a favorite argument with members of that party to ask " Has not the slaveholder as much right to carry his pro perty (slaves) to the Territories as the North ern man has to carry his horses and cattle there ?" This is a question frequently asked, in argument, even by mechanics and laboring men, and iudced there is mnch specioos plausi bility in it. How little do thej dream of the calamitous results to themselves which the ad- mission of such doctrine must entail ! If this position be correct, the right demanded must either be derived from the constitution direct ly or by construction, as claimed by the slave holders themselves, or it is a moral right which is not denied by the constitution. Now, if we admit the slaveholder's constitutional right ic carry his slaTe property to the Territories, and to hold them there until such time as the Ter- I ritory be admitted as a .State, we grant every . inch of the territorial soil of the Union for I slave States, irretrievably ; for there being no ; particular constitutional guarantee of the right | claimed, it must be admitted as a constructive | right derived from the equality of property, ' and any attempt to pass a law by a Territory, | when asking admission as a State, infringing the right of projierty, would be unconstitution al. The constitution prohibits auy such legis lation by the States. Hence every new State would of necessity be a slave State, and pow erless to protect itself against slavery. But the constitution guarantees equality of proper ty and of rights to all the States, and hence if a new State may not pass a law prohibiting slavery, any sncli luw in nn old State must al so be unconstitutional, null and void ; and sla very may exist by the constitutional equality of property on every inch of soil covered by the flag of the Union. The Virginia slavehol der can bring his human chattels to Philadel phia and sell them in front of Independence Hall, if this principle be correct, iu defiance of any local or State law. The proprietors of our manufactories, mines or farms, could discharge their free white laborers and operatives and put black slaves in their places ; and the white working classes of Pennsylvania and New Jer sey would l>e reduced to a level with the free white working classes of the South. Men would no longer be allowed to speak or write against slavery, or the right of slaveholders to do as they pleased, for slavery exacts the same ser vility wherever it exists. Let us look at the position, that the slave holder has or should have the moral right to carry his slaves into the Territories, as ranch so as the Northern man has to carry his hors es and cattle thither. This position, too, is based on the equal rights of property. If it is contended that the slaveholder should be al lowed to take his slaves to the Territories, and hold them there till such Territories might be ready to be admitted as States, then, a majori ty of the people being non-slaveholder l , could pass a law prohibiting slavery in the new State. Now, if the slaveholder should have the right to carry his slaves there, settle down and cultivate the soil while in the territorial condition, by w hat principle of right or justice could a majority of the people force him tr pnl! up stakes, sell out and b ave or lose his pro perty when such Territory came to be a State ? Would it not be absurd to call that right Or just ? To carry out this principle, should not the Southern slaveholder have as much right to bring his property (slaves) to Pennsylvania, New Jersey or any other free Slate, as the Northern man has to carry his horses and cat tle to Virginia or any other slave State : And to carry it a little further—should not the first be allowed the same privilege to bny and sell his negro property at the North as the latter has to sell hi? horses aud cattle at the South ? Does the subject need any further illustration ? If the common right of property is to be ap plied to slaves, the owner of such property should he allowed to hold and enjoy, and buy and sell such projierty wherever the flag of the Uuion waves, and we should go ta war and comjiel other nations to recognize it as they recoguize other projierty. When the j>ositiou is once admitted, the result will follow, as sure ly as night succeeds the setting of the *nn riuch is the principle for which the tShamoerat 1 ic jiarty is contending—first broached in this Htae by Senator Brodhend some two years since, when he contended for the constitution al right of slaveholders to carry their slaves to the Territories of the United {States and hold them there. Bat in conneetioh with the re-cstablishment of slavery in Pennsylvania, there is another ease, clearer and more fearfully near even than the oue we have just !>een considering It will be remembered that during the last session of our State Legislature a petition was }>resented from citizens of Luzerne comity a-king for the passage of a law to jjermit slaveholders to jia*s through the i-hate with their dares and t" en able them to hold them here for a limited time. This jietition w as referred to a committee, con sisting of a majority of rihamocrats who the majority) rej>orted that no necessity existed for the passage of such a law—a the right [.raved for was already guarantied by the con stitution. This rejort was received as the sene of the House of Iv-preseutatives—all the | Shamocratic members favoring it with but one or two exceptions. Now, as there is no express constitutional grant such as is here conceded, it must be the right by implication as aj>plied to jirojertj\ — And, as we have before shown, if the constitu tional right of projierty cpjilica to slaves, then, indeed, may the slaveholder not only j>a* throngh the State with his property (daves) or hold them here for a limited time, but he may bold them here tor all time. Where can a constitutional limitation be drawn ? There is none. And any State law jirerenting the buying or sale of such property is without ef fect, being nnconstitntimiai, and a bench of I>cmocratc Supreme Judnes will undoubtedly so dcidc whenever the object is brought be fore them ; if the pcoj.le do not, through the ballot-box, condemn any such outrageous con struction of the Constitution in terms not to be mistaken. Will those, then, i*ho are play ing with this fearfnl instrument, think for a moment how surely, if they give it effect, it will overwhelm thcin in inevitable rnin, and will they not pause ere it is too late ?— Phila. Daily Times. Going Ashore in an Iron Pot. Some seventy or eighty years since, on board a small brig, belonging to the East India Com pany, among a number of impressed men, were a brace of as uutamed Wild sons of the" Eme rald Isle as iver ye saw," from the same town, Rtid, "HT coorse," sttorn friends. They w ere the butt ©f the whole crew, from the peculiar obtuseness of their intellects, and because they either could net Or would not leant anything ; and literally were " uot worth their salt." The brig was short of bauds, and put into ' a small bay ou the coa,st of Africa. Being ! anchored off some distance from shore, the I officers rtnd crew went ashore to collect wood ami water, leaving our two heroes to watch on J the ujqier deck, with orders to fire one of the guns, in case of any attack by the natives. The Captain had no sooner landed than Pat sang out to his comrade, " Arrah Pat, acoshla and did ye iver see them big cannon bulls be low ?" " Och ! sure an' 1 did. But sure what would ye be afther doing with them same can non balls ?" " Be jaberft, wouldn't it be fine foort if we could fire off one of them ? What a divil of a rackit it would lie afther making 1" " Bedad, but so it would. But Pat, wouldn't the captain be missing it ?" This was a regular clincher to poor Pat, und he stood scratching the wiry furze that cover ed his bullet-shajied head for some time. All of a sudden a thought seemed to strike h';u of away to surmount the difficulty. Ou board of all vessels, as almost every one is aware, is a large iron pot Or kettle for melting tar, Ac. A plan was very shortly adopted which should obviate the loss of a ball It was this : One of them was to jilace himself astraddle of the gun, holding the jvot over the muzzle by the handle, and catch the ball as it issued from the gun j aud as our hero Tim was the stoutest of the tw o, the duty of holding the |>et was as signed to him. After some trouble they mam aged to get the gnn loaded. Tim mounted, holding the j>ot. Just as Pat was about to touch off the cannon, Tim turned ronnd to him and sang out, " Arrah, Pat ( dafliut, be afther firiug very aisy, will ye V Pat ajqdied the match, and off went Tim, put and all, " into the middle of next week." The captain, hear ing the report, and thinking it announced some attack, came 011 board in great haste. The first thing that greeted his eyes upou stepping njjon deck, was Pat, his face all begrimmed with smoke and dirt. " Well, Pat," said he, 1 " w hat's thp matter with yon ? Whese's Tim ?" " Tim, t?ir ? And didn't ye see him on shore ?" " No. How the uevil could he get there ? The boats are all here."

IN FA VOR OF THE EXTENSION OF BLATERY.— -The New York Day book, a leading Buchanan or gan, which the Hunker journals of this State quote from more freely than from any other paper ont of the J*tnte, states the position of the Democratic party in the following explicit ltlngtiaire s We hold negro " slavery " tc be right, right, per sc, right in itself, in the nature aud ne cessity of thit'ga.l that while there ure defects or imperfettidns of detail, as in everything else I ami in all hiimtln institutions, there are per- , haps 110 more evils connected with Southern sot L ty than that at the North ; that negroes arc negroes, and uot white men ; and, there fore. the peculiar domestic institution of the Sonth is no Slavery at all : bnt. on the con trary; the uatnral relation of the race* aud the normal condition of society, whenever or wherever whites aud negroes arc in juxtaposi tensiou.

When a young gentleman in Lapland desires to assume new responsibilities, he lays in a large stock of brandy, und his parents, rela tives and friends meet in as great numbers possible, to treat the friends of the brido de sired. Neither bride nor bridegroom i execut ed to betruv anxiety or interest in the "pro ceedings : ilie Arctic Mrs. Grundy, wuo is ve ry .strict in such matters, would be very much i scandalized if they should. Beside tho great mass of relatives nrrd friends, of aunt- and fourth couuns, who roust attend, there N still a greater number Of outsiders who are attract : ee by their curiosity to see whether anyb jy gets the mitten. The intensity of their curi osity is to some extent determined by the amount ,of brandy circulating. On the side of the gallant there is a spokesman called Brandy flask in hand, he goes over to the other 1 party and offers liquid hospitality to the father and mother of the young lady. This is as g nal for an indiscriminate attack of a similar nature of the entire invading party upon the lady's friends. Everybody drinks to her fa ther, everybody drinks to her mother, and oho ; herself is borne in grateful memory. When all are sufficiently elated, the proposal is embod ied in a long speech, vibrating between j>oc try and prose, ller parents ask to see the tilth, the wooing presents If they are accepted tho matter is settled, and there is nothing more but to go next day to the parson to get them published. Most matches are made at tho fairs and great festivals, but they are never made without brandy. " Indeed courting with brandy '' is a provgrb ainuug the Laplanders, which is equivalent to the French commeil taut When the lady is rich and the suitor is not, ho very often throws his brandy away. The in fluence of riches in matrimonial matters i 3 no where felt more strongly than here ; dros* counts for nothing ; one sheepskin is as good as another. Liauk is determined ouly by the number of reiudeers a man owns. Practically, marriage here is a mere matter of bargain uud sale. Still the Laplander re cognize the sacredness of the relation in their way. The silver which they pay for their brides roust not be in the shape of rix-doliars, it must be made up into ornaments. Tiiis is better than nothing. If a marriage is broken off, the party who takes a divorce generally returns the bridal presents, and the more con scientious add a gift for the wasted brandy.— So, too, when the parents say " no,"' many of them ure so generous as to pay for the brandy As all the relatives have a word to say, there is generally a good deal of quarrelling before the answer is agreed upon, and some manage ment is required,oftentimes,to make it favorable. Pastor Fjellstrom toils of a wedding Jock mock in which he was interested for the woo er. Several attempts had been made in vain before he. was engaged as spokesmen. An old woman overwhelmed everything and dea fened everybody with her opposition to tho match. When he came in she yelled out " No, no. it shan't be ; not even if the eater's sou come?, he shan't have her 1" Fjell strom, then a student, saw that nothing could be done so long as this old harpy was around, and wh'~p heid in-r heed above everybody else in t:,e v,.- lage, a her husband had been di 'rid mag - trate.
