American party at that time was in existence
and preelanned principles in terms far hies ex
ceptionable than those now avowed by the
Know Nothing party. But Mr. Fillmore, then
had neither Part nor lot with them, he stood
upon the ground occupied by °Clay, - Webster
and Sergeant. is he now ? lis has

State of New York and him, under the date
of July 25th, 1856, they shy L---

carrying out the tenets of
-this party.
The friends of•\lr. Filhuore •have assailed
Mr, Baehanan for his Osteufl Communicatiiin,
without admitting Or denying the soundness,
of the-doctrines therein contained. I would
remark that the correspond:ewe of Mr. Ever
let, as Secretary of State under Mr. Fillmore,
after the death of Mr. 'Webster, relative to .
Cuba, is "nitre offensive, and ought to be more
obnoxious to the criticism of ewistir vati ve men
than the Ostend Letter ; and it should be re
membered that • thteel i :meth: manifesto of
„Mr. Everett was issued tattler the immediate
supervision of Mr. Fill more and his. Cabinet.
Mr. Everett is prohably„the; best edueuttel
StatesmanThow living, he is an erudite sehol
itr and a sound Patriot. 'lYlien in Congress,
he took higher ground in 'laver of the Smith
on the subject of slavery, then any ; Northern
Stateeman had ever them beibre, ur has ever
done since. One thing is certain, any opin
ion, upon International Law preumbetted by
:hitn, is entitled to respect. Mr. Buchanan

he has_Alled the highest offices which his own
State could eonfer upon him. - lie has °emu

ti,e question of the Territories. I hold
t:iat.the territory ceded us by Mexico was
Farchased by eouunon treasure. The fifteen'
S!ave States contribute 1 their portion of the
fund as well as the MP), fifteen Free States.
Territories should stand on the same footing. as
a boated States, and the right of the people
hold Slaves or nut, as they please, in the
Territories; ought to be comment:a rate 3 with the
rl.4iits of the people as they exist in the thirty
'in..) States. There can ;10 110 just ground for
any discrimination. between the two rases.
N'ew Territory is surely not more sacred than
the old thirteen States, or the present thirty
oue States. The of a-majority prevails
in the cases last enumerated, and the same
orthodox principle should prevail in the new
v. acquired territory.
What is the doctrine of the Wilmot provi
-1:)? It is`the six!eeu free States declaring to
he fifteen Slave States—you are part owners
of this territory : you have shed your blood
and expe,aded. y,e.ir treasure in aciptiring it,
but you shall have no slut re in its ehjoy ment
or profits, Strip it of its trappings, a nd it
ann,unts to this,: there are thirty -olio stovh
holders in a corporation, and sixteen say to
liiteen, it is true you are part owners and
have contributed to the purchase our ewo

The Democratic Ticket.
Tn gOing into a political contest, there is
nothing more desinUetha e n an tmi-ficeirtion
able ticket—one made up of candidates against
whose uoxEsTr, FAITHFULNESS AND ABILITY
not a word can ju€tly be said. - Such a char
acter,,we sincerely claim for that nominated
by the Democratic County Conventiew, and
have no hesitation in asking a comparison of
it with that put forth by the Know Nothings.
No Convention ever had better material to
chose from than, that of MondaYlast, for it
'was excellent throughout.
Let the reader east his eye over the names
to be found at the head of onr columns. lie
will observe there those of ISAAC ROBIN
SON, DAVID ZIEGLER, HENRY REMY,
JOSIAH BENNER, CHRISTIAN CASH.;
MAN, FR ED E RICK WOLF, WILLIAM
MeCLEAN & EDWARD MelNTlßE—every
one of these gentlemen, without an exception,
admirably fitted for the post fOr which he has
been placed in tiomination, and furnishing an
.indisputable guarantee, that if elected a strict
and efficient_discharge of duty will character-
Ice their official course.. More unbending in
tegrity, sound judgment and business ability,
is not often found combined in the saule nuns
her of Muninees.
With such a -ticket presented for the suf
frages of the people of the county, , we may
well feel confident of success=--and with efforts
_anything like commensurate-with-the merits
of ”the nominees, -they cannot fail of being
elected by handsome majorities. WORK,
then, all who are opposed to the designs of the
Know Nothing managers, and reblike them
and their infamous proscription in a manner
too emphatic to be mistaken, They cilia/late
upon elevating their candidates to office by
keeping their dark lanternism as much in the
back ground as possible but it is only neces
sary to bear in mind that these wire-workers
are the same men who have spent much of
their time during; the last two years in prowl
ing along the high-ways and by-ways of the
town and county, their faces hid by up-turn- ,
ed coat collars, decoying voters into their .
duns, and there swearing them to proscribe
all who may hold to a particular church, and
such as may have boon born on other soil.--
Let this fact be kept vividly in mind. It de
serves to be so kept. And when the day of
election come , , let every honest votor o his
seal of cOndeumation upon the doings and
II (trim ”ies of ti e dark la n terni tes, by Sustain
ing the Democratic, ticket.

1 Democratic Meeting at Abbottstown,
THE PEOPLE AROUSED. AND -- TRUE - :TO
THE U:,CION!
An unexpectedly large and enthusiastic
meeting of the friends of BUCHANAN and
BRECKINRIDGE, took place at Abbottstown,
this county, on Saturday last. Previous
to its organization, a splendid Thexoar POLE,
upwurds of one hundred feet long, was raised,
bearing aloft the honored names•of the Dem
ocratic National Nominees. The vast figsetn
blage was called to order by Dr. David S.
Peffer, on whose motion the following gen
tlemen were chosen officers of the meeting;
rfe3ident, DAIVD NEWCOMER, Berlin. •
Vice Presidents, Frederick Wolf, Abbotts-'
town ; Michael Ihiflinan Ahbottstown John
E. Rupp, York; V. C. S. Eckert, 'Hanover ;
Henry Thomas, Gettysburg ; George Law
rence, Mountpleasant ; Peter Noel, Paradise;
Frederick Dellone, Paradise ; D. C. Brinker
huff, Straban ; A. K. Stoner, Berlin ; Col. J.
J. Kuhn, Reading ; Henry Mayer, Abbotts
town ; Samuel _Hauer, Abbottstown ; Nicholas
Karns, Hamilton.
See,retaries, D. P. Lange,. Hanover; James
Abbottstown ; W. S. Hildebrand, Read•-•
ing ; Win. A. Stahle, York ; Cliarles White,
Gettysburg; Michael Strnbinger. Abbottstown;
Ceo. B. Clark, Baltimore county. •
The meeting was successively addressed by
C. M._Smyser, of York, E. B. - Buehler,
Esq., of Gettysburg, Geo. B. Clark, Esq., of
Baltimore county, Henry Stable, of Get=
tysburg, and Wm. A. Stable, of York, the lat.=
ter in English and German.
Mr. Clark has been all his life a decided
Whig, but now that his old party has teased
to be, he ranges himself the side:of the
Democracy, the only . party that is true to the.
-Union and the Constitution. Ile pledges
Maryland for 5,000 maji)rity for Buchanan
and Breckinridge, and will back his word, if
called on at the Washington House, in York.
Ills speech was .a pleasant, as well as tell
ing feature-of the occasion.

The following is an extract from speech

Representatives, in 1850, now both applicable
anti of interest
"Bat if it ( the Whig party,) is to be merged:
into a contemptible Abolition party, and if Ab
olitionism is to be engrafted upon the Whig
creed, from that moment renounce the par
ty and cease, to be a Whig. Igo yet a step
further : If I am alive, I will give my humbler
support to that man for the Presidency who, to ,
whateret party he may belong, is not contami
nate-a by fanaticism, rather than to one who,
crying out all the time that he is a Whig,
maintains doctrines utterly subversiye of the
Constitution and the Union." -
A Rich Political Joke.
We have private authentic advice:3 of an
amusing but indicative mistake, of which Fre
mont was the victim. In New York city, last
week, the Free-Soil candidate went on board
the steamship '.orisaba" to say adieu to some
California bound friends. A gentleman who
was with Fremont, said to Padre Vijil, the
Nicaraguan minister, who was on board, "Al
low me to introduce your excellency to the
next I' resident of the United States," (making
a motion towards Fremont, but not calling
him by name.)—The Padre stepped forward,
raised his hat, bowed and said, "I any very
happy to see you, Mr. BUCHANAN 1"
The St. Luis Detnoorat, the Benton.or

elected to Congress, is a Republican.
