We have the . pleasure, this morning, of pre senting the "Compiler" in a dress" of now type —"fresh from the mint,"—and think our readers will concur with us, in pronouncing it beautiful. Whilst the face %f the letter is large, full and clear—so much so as to enable the oldest persons to read it with ease,—the body is small, - thus placing it in our power to give a larger amount of reading matter than heretofore. To accomplish this, we have been compelled to incur a heavy expenditure—entirely deplet ing our pockets of the "needful,"—but that we shall count as nothing, if our friends will but assist in: increasing the circulation of the "Compiler." True, our list is encouragingly large—never larger,—but as there are many persons in the county who should, but do not, take the paper, it is hoped the effort will be made. We promise to introduce still greater improvements, with anything like a propor tionate increase of subscribers: To those of our patrons whose prompt pay ments have enabled us to procure a new dress, - our sincere acknowledgments are due, and we assure them that their kind consideration of the printer's wants will not soon be forgot ten. But there are many on our books whose long standing accounts tell a vastly 'different tale. The hope is entertained, however, that a simple hint to do "no BETTER,". will be suffi cient to impel them to liquidate, in , part at least. Who will be the first customer ? 'We are under obligations to Hon. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS and lion. WILLIAM BIGLER, of the U. S. Senate, for a number - of speeches and other documents sent us.

Mr. BUCHANAN returned home in the Arago, which Imived at New York on Wednesday.

It was well that the duty fell to his lot, as there are few living statesmen who could have managed our affairs at that Court with the ability ho has displayed. ' Ile pos i,osses- all the varied _qualities which go: to make up the accomplished negotiator, and he has the will and the nerve to stand up for the rights of his country and his countrymen, at any time and in any place. This Republic may well be proud of her great IInatANAN, and, if we mistake not, will so speak, in an over whelming voice, in November next. !---On-theAtrrival-of - the -Arago-at - her wharf, several thousand persons had gathered to greet Mr. BUCHANAN, and they made the wel kin ring:with Cheer after cheer. A committee of the City Councils welcomed him to the City, and on Thursday morning, he was wait ed upon at the City hull by a large assemblage, comprising the most prominent merchants and citizens generally. Mayor Wood made a long speec i lin presenting an engrosser copy o t complimentary resolutions of the City ',Coun cils, to which Mr. IipucHANAN niacle a felici tous response. But tbe action of the Know Nothing Councils of Philapelphia in reference to a proper re ception of Mr. BUCK ANAN exhibits a disgrace ful contrast. A resolution tendering the use of Independence Hall, 'in which the people might receive and congratulate him, was voted down in both branches, by a strictly party vote. This disrespect to the distin tinguished Pennsylvanian has caused much indignation and angry feeling among all class es of citizens, and well it may. But it will no serve to injure Mr. BUCHANAN; on thb' other hand, it will only Cause his friendss to strive the more earnestly for his elevation to the Presidential Chair. Persecution as mean ns this. generally in the end benefits the per secuted. Reception of Mr. Buchanan at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA; April 25.—Mr. 'Buchanan was met at:Trenton this morning on his way to This city by a. committee of his friends, And on his arrival at Walnut street wharf he was greeted by a Salute, and the enthusiastic cheers of the large crowd that had .gathered there: He was finally welcomed to the city, by a committee of *citizens headed by the Hon. Jd siah Randall, after which ho was conducted to the Merchants' Exchange,tho interior of which was decorated with flags in honor of his pres ence. Here he was welcomed in an address by S. Morris Walu, Esq., to which Mr. Eu chananrosponded in his happieststyle, ing the applause of his hearers. After his reception at the ExChange;e was conducted to the Merchants' hotel, which was besieged by troops of his friends and admirOrs. Mr. Buchanan, in responding to the address, said ho felt as if his foot was again on his na tive heath, and he *as rejoiced to find that in the opinion-of-his-fellow-eiti?:ens he had not dis credited his country nor her principles, Ile had ever acted as ho felt—as an Amer ican citizen. He said ho' had often -been asked if: there tvas danger of -- War be tween England and the United States ; and re plied no, because he felt that the British peo ple would never consent to involve themselves in a conflict regarding a question on which they knew we had the right side. He felt no present apprehensions, but if an las ult was offered, we have millions of energetic free people to maintain our cause. Ile was pleased to say that during his embassy he had ever received manly and courteous treatment with much tolerance with regard to expressions of opinion.

Democratic Triumphs in Ohio. The Democratic papers throughout Ohio all come to us exulting tremendously over the lo cal victories won by the Democracy at the Spring elections. Democratic triumphs seem to have been very general and decisive. Col onel Medary, of the Ohio Statesman, says that seldom, if ever, did they carry more towns. Nearly every principal city and town in the State has gone Democratie Some of t !tom erwhelmingly so, and some that scarce ly ever before gave Democratic majorities; and nearly every one Was fusion one year ago. More Democratic Victories. The election in Fort Wayne, Indiana•, took place on the 7th instant. The Dcn►ocrats elect ed their entire ticket, over the Know Nothings and Black Republicans united, by an average majority of nearly four to one. Nearly a thou sand votes were polled. At the recent munic ipal election in Evansville, Indiana, .John Hew son, Democrat, for mayor, beat his Know Noth ing opponent by 123. In lowa city, which the Know Nothings carried last year by a large majority, tho Democrats, on the 7th just, elect ed a good portion of their ticket.—Baltimorc SgeiigiiaiViMNMMMMMMMMii 1 HE FATRERS WERE NOT, KNOW NOTHINGS, The Philadelphia Arra sap :—William Penn, and the first settlers of the Province of Pennsylvania, in the year 1682, before they deft England, agreed upon this as a funda mental mental law,that ;'every inhabitant in - the said province, that pays scot, and lot to the govern in ell t, _shall_ be deemed and _acminted a free man of the said )rovince; and every such ,er- son shall and may be capable otelecting or being elected representative of the people in Provincial Council or General Assembly." They also agreed, in the same time, that "all persons living in the province, who con fess and acknowledge God, and that hold them selves obliged in conscience to live peaceably and justly in civil society, shall in no .way be molested or prejudiced for their religious per suasion or practice in matters. of faith and worship." In. the year 1683, at Philadelphia, William Penn, in the third year of his Government, under his "hand and broad seal," published what is called "A Frame of the Government of the Province of Pennsylvania" and a "Char ter of Liberties." In the twenty-first article thereof, be "gives and grants" that if any alien shall die before he can well be naturalized, his property shall descend as free . and amply as if he had been naturalized. Ile makes this provision, ho declares, "for the satisfaction an& encouragement of all aliens"—in other words, to promote immigration and • naturali zation. This "encouragement" to aliens was expressly, in the same words, re-passed un der Governor Markham in 1696. The re-en acting instrument also provided that any "In habitant, of this Province," who, (with other qualifications of no account in this connection) had "been resident within this Government for the space of two earB," should have the right of "electing or being elected" to office. With this policy of encouragement of aliens and speedy naturalization, the infant Province has grown into the great Keystone• State. Did _our benevolent Founder ever dream, that when his City and his State became so grand and mighty, as to exceed all .his serene visions, that, in the day of power and safety, any Philadelphian or Pennsylvanian would fall in to a booby terror-of these same "aliens," and try to bolster his .fears with religious intoler ance, and a Chinese exclusiveness? By all the common sense that ever dawned upon the co►nn►onest mind, if Immigration did not harm our experimental ,Infancy, how can it hurt our established Manhood? The broad-brim 'and benign - liberality of old Father Penn, so wise in its conception, and so glorious in its results, palpably 'opposes and rebukes the stupendous stupidity of modern Know Noth ingism. The Know Nothings often talk about "the Fathers." Just as a peacock spreads an overwhelming tail, the Know Nothings used to dub themselves "Sons of the Sires of '76.7 This Lou Chou title was fat' more alliterative than truthful. -The "Sires of '76" were too bravo to get scared at any foreigners, too big hearted to refuse welcome to the poor travel lers that sought refuge, rest, and• happiness on this Continent, too generously proud of their institutions and their liberties to grudge them to adopted citizens, and too thoroughly imbued with the spirit of right and equality to allow - any religious proscription. • Fancy the majestic form of George Wash ington, about twelve o'clock at night, skulking . and jirking into 'a Know Nothing Lodge Fancy- old Anthony Wayne dodging home from an "initiation," and diving below the suspicions of some questioner, by puckering up his martial mouth, and smoothly asserting ' that he "don't know" anything of an order called Know Nothings! Fancy stern old Sam uel Adams, and rough Dan Morgan, and bluff Israel Putnam, twisting their fingers into crooks, and sticking them in-thoirbutton holes, and thus acting likethedeafand dumb, instead of speaking right out like men ! Fancy elegant John Hancock, and chivalrous Edward Ran dolph, and fiery Patrick Henry, with point ed digits, mumbling over - some prosy oath, dictated - finr them by some nasal Uriah heap of a fugleman ! Fancy Alexander Hamilton and James Madison with folded hand's meekly listening to the precious initiatory disquisi tions about "Popery" and "furriners," doled out by some wiseacre of an Instructor ! Fan cy Thomas Jeflerso • ing councils to kill General Lafayette or Charles Carroll ! Fancy sonic officious satel lite spooking Henry Clay or Andrew Jackson around corners, and through . alleys, and up dark stairs, into a Hindoo Council, and offer ering to swear them, on a cross and Bible; to proscribe Irishmen and Catholics ! Shades of departed worth and patriotism, forgive us the bare imagination of such preposterous ana chronism ! The "Black Republicans ~S'plitting.—The Black Republicans are by no means satisfied with the action of their late Pittsburg Con vention. Six hundred and forty-eight of them, headed by Gerrit Smith, have issued a circu lar, in which they pitch into the doings at Pittsburg as not coming up to the mark,.and calling a Convention at Syracuse, New York, on the 2tith of May next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for President. Be tween the Fillmore split on the one hand, and this Syracuse ono on the other, the Pittsburg Black Republicans will have to go to the "wall."

FRANKLIN GROVE, lii., April 18,.1856 Friend Stahle:—l have a fow moments of spare time, which I will devote to writing your a line or two. The weather has been rather cold since I have been in this place; but from what I hear from the East, you have had a more unfavora ble season than we have had here. Quite a number of farmers have already sowed their spring wheat, and some is coming up. . There has been a considerable amount of money loaned out here at ten per cent, per annum. Farmers have nearly all their corn on hand, holding up for higher prices. Franklin is a lively village. We have .a Railroad - through it—two express and two freight trains from the East, and the same from the West, daily. A great deal of build ing is done, and I hear that there will at least forty houses be put up this season. This will be a beautiful. country when our prairie is all . cultivated—and it is fast being settled. There have quite a number of persons arrived in this place this spring from the East, and and there is room for-more. The grain, market has been rather dull for the last month.
