Letter from Abbottatown.---More
about the " Flare-Up."
ARBOTTSTOWN, Sept. G, 185 G.
MR. EDITOR :—Our quiet village was an
noyed this-day by one of the most disgraceful
'and disgusting political gatherings that I over
witnessed in my life. It'appeared as though
rowdyism in half the State had reserved this
day, and selected Abbottstown as the place,
to loose its reins.
We all expected -a respectable meeting,
as every preparation had been made and the
day was floe ; but as soon as the "du. da"
s egations made their appearance, we were sa
--- '-tiedied that disorder and rowdyism would sup--
plant order and decency. The only evidence
laeking_to prove that they had of the
"0-be-joy-far in their possession, was that
we saw no corks sticking out of their pockets,
for the merry mood .in which they sang the
psalms of Beecher & Co. strongly indicated
that some other_ spirit had got possession of
their good and quiet natures. I am inclined
to think that many of them have squared their
conduct fur the campaign after the fashion of
Beecher's rifle theology. What little 1 have
seen of their_ ork compares well, the one with
the other.
The appearance of the delegation with Fre
mont flags and banners struck the Fillmore
delegations with surprise, and a collision was
immediately discovered. But a few minutes
- passed, when it became evident that the Fill
more men were to be swallowed, or all to have
"nigger faces" and "woolly heads."
Here lay a pole with a flag bearinr , . ° the
names of "Fillmore and Dol.elson." Over
these were adozen small flags, with the names
"Fremant_and_Dayton One 6 :1 coot tor
Fillmore—another fur Fremont!
Ilere began a row in the bar-room, in which
a lawyer of your place and the editor from
:Hanover were the combatants, and had it nut
irce - a for the law) ei's "hurler roil', is," IN hu
turned it almost into - a fisticutf, the editor.
-would have come off victor, for the profession-.
al man seemed greatly in need of argument to
get along. 1 must say that the sympathy of
. • toe crowd was with the editor, (out citizens at
least.) •
Shoat after shout went up for Fremont—
then for 'Fillniore—when the crowd left the
bar-room, the Pillinoreites to the pole, and the
woollies to another corner of the yard and be
gan. drumming. - Here the negro party re
mained fur more than on hour, shouting for
Free' nit, and taunting the poorfellows who
svoce putting up the pole. Not one laid a
band to it. Here - another fight began. in
which the unfiirtunate editor had to fly the
track, to save himself froinu, flogging,
The pole raisers went t t work again, ;and in
another hour the r vac up, and the-flag
' flying over the F:eIIIWILCCS ' heads. The Fill
more men formed a rroce-ishin and Anarhed •
around the pole, whilst the woollies drew up
a,wagon alongside another house, and were
ab nit to organize another meeting. The
frightened Fillmoreites, or -one of theta at
least, who is a candidate fur a small uthee,
fearing defeat, concluded to give way and let
the nigger party have the stand.
• A "union" (!) meeting was‘announced, and
organized by putting an ex-State Seliatur,
now a Fremont mail, in the chair. The per
forniauce began by a sermon from Mr. Mc-
Conaughy. his text was taken from Beech
er's- ride theology, Ist chapter. .For about
forty:minutes:he-held the - few - persons - around
the stand in awful 'noise and confusion,' fear
- ing that - all would finally get into the bar
room. With all his 'shrieks for freedom,' the
cheers would't come. There was nut one
from beginning to end. His harangues about
compacts, laws, ordinances,-the constitution,
tic., made no impression here other thanthat
lie is an orator of not more than ordinary
• stamp. His 'shrieks for freedom' only arous
e-1 the suspicion that the mouth, did not give
utterance to , the heart.' His stubbornness
manifested before the, meeting was organized
g are full evidence that he is not one of those
easy kind of peaceable individuals who 'shriek
for freedo:n': from philanthropic motives.—
This gentleman would better observe the max
im of an old man, who said that we should
never attempt to speak until we have some
thine. to say, and to stop when that is said.
_etc next was a . .slinek' from Mr. Campbell.
, This man loved his country so dearly that the
tears (crocodile tears) rushed from-his eyes,
and by his elOquence su completely enchained
the audience that in less than ten minutes the
entire crowd left his speakership, and eugag
ed in another fight in front of the tavern. He
did not speak in all more than fifteen minutes,
and then was obliged to give away to the fight.
The next part was a song from the 'minstrels
'This was a grand 'display of bar-room and
Freintint spirit—and - so ended the doings Of
6x-fiFfft—tind—a—ettysburg—Freinonters:—Th—ey
- left without hearing a word from the Fillmore
lies, whom they had crowded off the stand.
I would say in conclusion to these men,
that the next time they visit A. - bhottsto%l it they
be compelled to behave.more decently, or
encounter the national men of all parties:—
and to this 31r. Campbell, who challenged.
discussion, that if lie will find some one inure
able than himself, we will meet him in the
Court-house in York, any time he may appoint,
and will pay his expenses down, up, and while
he may he with us.
I almust forgot to mention that the Know
Nothings had printed liTtildbills ail through
the country, that a Balloon Ascension would
take place in the evening of the day of the
meeting, and that a number waited to see
thein go up. They had two large paper ones
.made, and when they 'attempted to. start the'
first one, the thing caught lire and burnt up: -
The se ;end was burnt in the same way.

was surprised in looking over the edition
of Sept. Bth, of that paper, to read the edito
rial headed as.abuve. The 'silence' that he
rneutions having been kept, I Itnew nOthing of:
I have always seen the drift of his course—
like a privateer drifting towards a prize in a
storm, while there is plenty of breeze for a
line-of-battle ship to 'sail free, with a taut
bowline.' But real that piece carefully, and
then wonder how it is possible that 'an
old tried friend' of the Sentinel could be mis
taken as to his course. That expression alone
in which he says, 'we presumed no one would
be so much blinded to the probabilities of our
course as to imagine we could give counte
nance to the wild, dangerous, filibustering,
tsentimeots of the Cincinnati Platlirm,'' is at'
once a plain and positive denial that he ever
thought of supporting Mr. Buchanan. Now
take up the'e , lition of Sept. Ist, and read what
he saws in reference to the course the Star has
pursued; and although he does not in plain
tern ,denounce Mr. Fillmore, he approves of
the course of the Star, and thinks that there
ought by all means to be a 'union of the chums
(tribes) upon some one man,' no matter who,
so he has a bitter antipathy to Deimicracy.
There is an old Spanish proverb which saws
that 'a wise man will
caauge his mind s:nue
times, but a fool never will.'
If it is a fact that this conversation did take
place between Mr. 'Sentinel' and the 'tried
friend' he speaks of, this , lriend' must either
have' beep very dull of perception, or else-has
believed as I have always done, that the Sen

MIL &Attu :—I observed in that
,ocracious
sheet, called the Star and Banner, a notice of
a small communication written by me for the
Pennsylvanian, concerninghired emmissaries
travelling the country endeavoring to convert
Catholics for Fremont.
He says that we had to send it far off to
have it published. I would say to this man
of many principles, that where
_a thing is ale
ready known by the masses, it would be non
sense to•have' a newspaper to tell the fact over.
I tia - no more unlikely thatemissarits - should
travel for the purpose indicated, than that
others of the same Fremont party should be
engaged in the work of buying up presses, &e.,
which has been c harged time and again.
The editor of the Star should be the last to
stamp the assertions of others as lies. Peo
ple who live in glass houses should not throw
stones—and especially Almuld this editor, who
was first a Wlitg, then a Know Nothing, and
now a Know Nothing Frewonter, be satisfied
with his own weakness, and rejoice if no•one
Reps fit to notice it. Men who have acted as
inconsistently in politics as he has, prove
themselves either weak-minded--objects of our
compassion —or unprincipled demagogues, net
worthy of the countenance of honorable men.
I-do not make any pretensions as a writer,
but poor as I am at it I could give my opinion
of the Star and Banner in a legible band.
