A Great Democratic Gathering in'ur'es . tern Ponnsylvania---Twenty Thous and Democrats in Council---Enthus- iastic Reception of John C. Breckin. ridge. , We have before - own full report of the pro ceedings of the great Democratic mass meet ing which was held at Pittsburg on the 10th is tent, in t n very Faun which the Pre mentors at one time were quite sure they had secured by ten thousand majority. The Pitts burg Union of the 11th says "Qur great mass convention in this city came off yesterday, and we cannot attempt to des'eribe, - amid the din, dust, and confusion still around us, the numbers and enthusiastic feelings of the thensands that were in atten dance. At a very moderate estimate, we set it down that there were not less than twenty thousand people on the convention ground. The heat of the day and the clouds of dust flying haVing rendered it uncomfortable to march in procession, the groat proportion the people proceeded to the ground by the ears, carriages, omnibuses, and private convoyan - this, rut. - cos, l,ut, notwithstanding an shin was grand and imposing, "After the various delegations and specta tors, had assembled around • the stand, the officers were announced, when that veneralYle and distinguished Democrat, Judge Sttter, the president of the convention, opened the meeting with a patriotic and eloquent speech." After briefly noticing the distinguished speakers who addressed the Meeting, the Union proceeds : • '"Our distinguished and gallant candidate for the Vice Presidency—Hon. John C. Brock inridge—arrived in our city yesterday at nom.. Ho proceeded - at Once to the grounds where our mass convention WON in session. The intelligence fleiv from tongue to tongue; the itisscitillitedtlinounds — r s h d-,—eng-er—te catch a. glimpse of our eminent and eloquent standard bearer. When be ascended the speakers' stand he was greeted with, such in tense and unbounded enthusiasm as we have never before witnessedon any occasion. The air was filled with waving banners. - hats, handkerchiefs, and branches of, trees ; and for several minutes the hills echoed with the most vociferous and hearty applause. It was a spontaneous tribute front warm hearts to one of the most gifted and chividrie men of his ago. in _America 'or elsewhere. His re ception was alike worthy of the ;;onerous and appreciating masses, and of the noble son of kentiiky. "We sincerely wish that every citizen -of ,our glorious country could have heard the speech of Mr. Breekinridge. It was digni fied, eloquent, patriotic, and thrilling.

Ills earn est, fervent patriotism, his lofty sentiments, his deep, ricli voice, -his full. distinct, and correct intonation, his easy, gri►ceful action, made a wonderful, a thrilling, a lusting im- Pression upon .the audience. No one saw or listened to him without being impressed with his wonderful powers of oratory. Ills tall, commanding, noble, intellectual appearance added much to the effect : "'A kind. true heart, n spirit bright. That cannot fear, that 'Fill Nut 410, Is %%it 'ten ou his tuauly.bruw, Aud in his manly eye.' It was the universal remark of all who saw him, that ho is the very imboiliment, the very soul of chivalry ; and of all who hoard him, that he is the very typo and model of an ora tor. "In the evening, after the convention of the day had adjourned, scores and hundreds of Our citizens of all parties waited upon Mr. itreekinridge at the St. Charles, anxious to pay their respects to one of the most gifted, gallant, and eminent men in our land. All met with a cordial and courteous greeting, and left feeling that they had been in the presence of a statesman and a patriot. lVe are proud of-our young standard-bearer, and \yell we may Iv." WHAT NEXT ? azirA few weeks ago the Know Nothing Black Republican orators charged Bu chanan and his friends with being "slavery extensionists !"—now they denounce the saint' :11r. Buchanan and friends as "abolitionists!" Aro they not fastening too many "strings to their bow," to do their rotten cause any good among sensible people ! The-Star van hard ly.play upon both! It would be an outrage to h the Democratic thunder so bare faeedly.

Why don't they turn Fre.moi ter, and use them illy ;11 pies. - 'This thing of "daring" may sqund very bold, but it is often used as a '"scire-erow" only. Such it is in this ease. '!'ho Star xsows that the leaders of the Fremont party are Dimunionists at heart, and that many of them avow it—but the "dare" is thrown out with the hope that its very audacity will pre yent a reply. '"Facts are stubborn things," however, and we intend to take our stand with them. Horace Greely, of the N; Y. Tribune, is the head Ordfront of the Fremont church, and is entitled to its highest honors. What does he say? This: "I HAVE NO DOUBT BUT THAT ,THE TREE A. 741 SLAVE STATES OUGHT TO BE SEPARATED. THE UNION IS NOT WORTH SUPPORTING IN CONNEXIOR WITH TIM SOUTH." Who is Joshua R. Giddings? One'of the leadink and most active Fremont men in the Union, and one who probably had more to do with his nomination than any other. Surely his "leadership" will not be disputed, He has been• a Disunionist for years, and has gone so far as to declare that he "looks forward to the day when there ghat be a servile insurree 7 lion in the South, when the black man armed with British Bayonets, and led on by British Vicers, shall assert his freedom and wage a war of extermination against his 'master ; w men the torch of the incendiary shalllight — up the towns and, cities of the Solidi and blot out the last ventage of slavery. And though (said he) I may not mock at their calamity, nor laugh When their'fear cometh, yet I will hail it as the dawn e) . f a political millenium." Fits Henry Warren is also among the front seat members of the Know Nothing Black Republican party. At aßepublican meeting at Springfield, Mass., he declared that "the present difficulties between the North and the South would be settled by the cartridge-box,-if not.by the ballot-box ; that in certain, contin gencies, THE CONSTIT I VTION OF TUE UNITED STATES WAS NOT WORTH A itusti." We might multiply columns of sinillar testi mony, that of Banks, Burlinghnmo, and hosts of others, but presume no intelligent reader would require more. It may nut he out of place, though, to add a little:foreign authority, that of the London Chronicle, one of Queen Victoria's mouth-pieces, ie Irsayg : "We sheuhrbe sorry to see Mr. Buchanan elected, because he is In. favor of preserving the ohnoxbias institutions as thev exist, AND THE UNITY OF THE srATE . S. There :is no safety fur European monarchial govern ments, if the progressive spirit of the Delius.- , racy of the .United States is tOlowed to succeed. LE FR )NT T ELY Ilt ST It LOW TO THE SEPARA'T'ION OF THE' UNITED . STATES IS EFFECTED!" Think of this, Men of Pennsylvania!—think of the consequences ,that would follow the election of Fremont. Are you willing to plaeo the whole power and patronage of our Gov ernment 'into the hands of men who are avowed Disunionists and who preaeh all sorts of rebellion and disorder ? "Ulla ! HENRY CLAY endorse the pnsition of the Lovotoeo party upon the Slavery ques tion !"—Star, AEV-Exactly—"and nothing shorter !"—as we rttoviin last week by the (locumentB, and intend to continue to prove in the sanie wit)k itst so long as the Star has this kind of mock indignation to preach.- . Intelligent men of all parties, examine the proof! Here it is. The Cincinnati Democrittie Platform con tains this broad and not to be mistuadorgtoCid resolution : , ReBolred, That we recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, i neluding Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the fairly expressed will of a majority of actual reshients, and whenever the number of their. inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without -domestic slavery, and ho ad into thi Cr . 0 s upoia ttiruis of perfect equality with the other States. That's the position of the Democracy of the whole lTnion—not sixteen States of it. Now for lll:xttY CLAY'S - "endorsement." In his celebrated report introducing the Compromise bills of . 1850—a record so plaiß that all who run may read—he said : The true. principle whickought to regulate the action of Congress in forming territorial governments for each newly acquired domain, is to refrain from all legislation on the sub ject (of Slavery) in the territory acquired, so long as it retains the territorial form of gov ernment—leaving it to - the people V . such Ter ritory, when they hare attained to a condition which entitle:: them to admission as a .state, to decide . /or themsdres the question (!t . the allow ance or prohihition of domestic slarcrll."—•(See Congressional Globe, May 10, 1850, page 045.) Surely that is about as clear and emphatic an "endorsement" of the position of the Dem ocratic party, as words could well be fashion ed into. Who can honestly say aught else? We %yin not, comment on the Sta.'s want of truth in this connection. Qky~ if tht;' - Know Nothing Black Ilepubli= cans are "more alarmed at one thing than another, it is at the fact that they cannot make half the' capital out of the. "Kansas code" question they expected. The Star has been'driving at it for weeks, always upon the assumption, of course, that the Democratic party endorsed those laws. But the people are beginning to see and believe that the De mocracy do no.sueh thing, and hence. the un easiness of the dark lanternites at the prospect of losing one of their best lying and electioneer ing hubbies. Their entire capital in trade appears to lke huwbuggery and falsehood, (see their journals,) and the certainty begins to stare them in the face that it will all be ex hausted before it can possibly accomplish half as much as the election-of John C. Fremont. ,8 5.-A so-called "old line Whig" Conven tion, but composed almost exclusively of Know Nothings, in Baltimore last week, endorsed the nomination of Mr. Fillmore. The triek well understood, and will deceive uu une. "The friends of Fremont seek to restore the National . policy which Washington and his compeers inaugurated,"—Star. ,"They take a queer way to bring it about, then. Something like burning down the barn to get rid of the rats ! 'What! Fremont and WASHINGTON in the same breath It is an outrage upon the great man who sleeps at Mount Vernon to connect them thus. All his teachings, his whole life, are against the base assumption. Washington was no sectionalist—and the most fervent prayer of his heart was that sec tionalistn.might never spring up, to the dis _solutien-and down-fall of this b. ' u s( •• ly cherished Union. :Probably the most pow erful part of his Farewell Address is that, in which he warns us to beware of "sectional or geographical parties"—just such a party as IS now following, or leading or driving. John C. Fremont. Let any honest 'man take up that Address; read and ponder over it, and if he does not become convinced of the utter reck lessness of the Star and its equally reckless "Superior Counsellors," we are greatly mis taken in out notions of human perception. , The boldness of the assertion quote Vat the head of this article, is only equalled by some of the Black Republicans out West, who illustrate their banners with portraits of Frennynt, labelled "The Second Washing ton." The points of resemblance between the first Washington and the "second" are that; set forth by the Rochester Union: "Washington never dogged a man from place tuplace-and_ eadeavored_tu, badger - .him into a duel. '"Washington never challenged a man to mortal combat., "Washington never speculated 'in beef to the prejudice of hie country. "Washington never certified 'on honor' to the correctness of a charge a nd then had it cut down by the auditing officer from ten thousand dollars to fifty dollars. "Washingtrn► never accepted a - nomination front a -party which proscribed tbreigners and Catholics as unworthy the name of Amer ican. "Washington never encouraged the forma tion of sectional parties," terDriven . to the lA-all—cornered, and al- most caged—Know Nothing Black Republi cans are beginning to repent the- sectional out-start they made in nominating Tremont as the candidate of the North, and in their ex tremity arc slashing about in every conceiva ble manner to get out of the disagreeble and dishonorable dilemma. A few, (the Star among them,) are even mendacious enough to intithate that Mr. 111.7CH.4.NAN is a sectional candidate, pledged to "a sectional policy." As well might they'say that the great WASHING TON; NILS pledged to such a ruinous course. WASHINGTON said: "It is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the- immense value of your national union to your collective and individ ual happiness ; that you shOuld ever cherish a cordial, habitat and immoveable' attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as the.palladium of your political safe ty and prosperity ; watching for its preserva tionAvith a jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned ; and indig nantly frowning upOn the - first dawning 'qt . eve ry attempt to alienate (1701 - p portion of our coun try from the rest, or to enfeeble the' sacred tics which link together the various parts." • Mr. BucunNAN says: "Disunion is a word which ought not to be breathed amongst us even in a whisper. The word ought to be considered one of dreadful omen, and our children should be taught that it is sacrilege to pronounce it." These are patriotic declaratiOns, and should be cherished in the "heart of hearts" of every American citizen. . Always treasure them in memory, and When some dastardly lying Know Nothing Black Republican would have you believe otherwise, tell him he is a design ing demagogue, and unworthy the _counten ance of a decent man. D anie I—W ebst er -on —A bolitionism. Daniel Webster, in the United States Sen ate, spoke as follows: "Now, sir, this prejudice has been produced )yt le incessant attrition of abolition doctrines by abolition presses and abolition lectuiers upon the common mind. IVO drum head in the lonyest day's march was ever more inces santly beaten than the feelin. , b of the public in certain parts of the North. They have been beaten every month, and every reek, and every day BY THE DIN AND ROLL AND RUB-A-DUB OF THE ABOLITION PRESSES AND ADOLITION LEC TURERS, and that his which has created these prejudices." And, again, he declared : "T am against agitators North . and South. I am against all narrow and local ideas North and South, and against all narrow and local contests. lam an American, and I know no locality in America. My heart, my senti ments, my judgment, demand of me that I should pursue such a course as shall promote the good ; and the harmony, and the union of the whole country. This I shall do, God will ing, to the end of the chapter." After a perusal of these utterances of the Sage of Marshfield, can any one doubt where he would now stand if living? C an anv one doubt that he would be found tin the side of the Democracy, battling for - the constitution and the Union lVa:dt. Union. The Republican Party. Here is a rich thing from Wendell Phil lips, a leading Abolition disunionist. We commend it to the attention of all those who are anxious to know the real tendency of Black Republicanism. When that party is endorsed by Garrison and Phillips, all true pa triots should pause long and reflect seriously before they_ cast their votes for Fremont. Phillips says: "There is merit in the Republican party. It is this : It is the first sectional party ever organized in tins country. * * It is not national, it is seetional. It is the North ar rayed against the South. * * The first crirek in the iceberg is visible; you will yet hear it go with a crack through the centre." Where Was Colonel Fremont Born ? The Boston Daily Bee, a journal that ilow supports Col. Fremont for the Presidency, on the 2.2 d of April last, published the following statement in its columns "FitEmoNr.—coi. .r. C. Fremont was born in FRANCE, January, I`+l3. Ills father was an emigrant from FRANCE, anti his mother a native of Virginia." The Constitution of the United States re quireslhat the office of President shall be tilled by 4 native-born citizen. Fremont's Galphinism—The Official Record. Keep it before the people, that by official document No. 13 of the thirty-third Congress, second session, sent in on the 12th of Sep tember, 1854, it appears that Fremont has been guilty of the greatest depredations upon the public Treasury. • that report there are claims on the Treasury, now on file, for the subsistence of Col. Fretnont's regiment, composed of about three hundred men, during six months service in California, amounting to over $BOO,OOO. According to these each one of his men cost $2O a day during that —months- —The—beef account- alone shows that each man consumed every day fourteen, pounds of that article. These claims were so enormous on their faCe that only about one sixth, or $156,000, have been allowed. A board of army officers examined and reported upon them, and determined that the residue, or nearly ::;650,000, was so fraudulent or so suspicious as to require explanation. And this is only one of the numerous similar transactions that go to show the skill of the immaculate John'Charles Fremont as a "path finder" into the National TreasUry. How Goes the Battle ? Since the opening of the presidential cam paign State elections have been held. in Ken tucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, lowa, Vermont, and Maine. The Cincinnati Enquirer foots up'the column thus: "The State elections finis •far point con clusively to the fact that the people have re solved to elect James Buchanan President of the United States. In a presidential canvass the results in the States preceding the vest battle in November are excellent thermome ters of the state. of public opinion. Since the three parties nominated their candidates— Buchanan, Fillmore, and Fremont—elections have-been held in the, fidlowing States. We give Oa result, with the number of electors to which they are entitled: Buchanan. Fillmore, Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas, . Alabama, lowa, Vermont, Maine, "We give lowa to Mr. Fillmore because three of the . five State officers elected--at the August eleetion are his friends, and were nominated by the same convention which nominated 'Fillmore -electors. Thus, of the nine States which have held elections, the Democrats have carried six, 'having forty eight electors, - to the Black RepublicanS thtrteen electors and the Fillmore men four. "Fellow-Demoerats, are not l these results cheering, and have we not everything to en courage' us for the November contest? So far as compared with-1852, _when_ the-Demo. erats had two hundred and fifty-four electors to forty-two opposition, we have gained twelve in Kentucky and lost _four in lowa to Fill more and eight in Maine to Fremont,. being - k ual gain and loss.

To which the Utica Observer replies : - "It is certain that Colonel—Lane-Ims ; - into the Territory with a band of ruffians far no other purpose than to shed blood and in cite reprisal. "It is certain that Gerrit Smith, who new says this question must be settled in blood, is the chief contributor to Lane's support. "It is certain that'Kansas was peaceful for nearly two months before Lane made his vio lent inroad, and commenced attacking the settlers in Kansas." lerMaine has gone for the ltnow Nothings and Black Republicans by upwards of twenty thousand. - Happily, however, New England is not the Union. In every other part Nation al men will behold the peril that now threatens the Republic, and will become more and more vigilant to protect it. Maryland is now safe for Buchanan and Breckinridge. The Maine Election---Not Decisive. The Boston Daily Advertiser, (a Fremont paper,) says: "It will be scarcely safe to draw any inferences as to the probable result of the Presidential election in Maine or else where, from the issue of the election in that State on Monday, because it is well known that the local politics of Maine are complica ted and embarrassed by issues and by jeal ousies which will not enter into the Presiden tial Canvass." ve'The Rev. Mr. Nate, of Lawrence, Kan sas, says in a letter to the Spring Geld Repub. lican, dated Aug. 22 :7-- We are now having war in earnest—four fights within the last five days, in all of which the oee state men were the assailants, and the viet4)rs.

GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY! POWERFUL SPEECH OP COL. The Democratic meeting in the Diamond in Thursday evening, was one of the most gratifying of the campaign. In numbers it far surpassed our expectations, whilst a deep and earnest feeling seemed to pervade every breast. Take it all in all. it was sin occasion long to be rememberid, with the most agmea ble emotions, by every true friend of the U. nion Present. The meeting was called to order, upon is large stand erected at the east front of the Court-house, by Hon. Jost. B.

Shorb, Peter Macklev, Edward Moritz, Jacob Gilbert, Charles White, John Z. Hellebaugh. Cot. SAMUEL W. BLACK, of Pittsburg, who present by invitation, was then in troduced and received with hearty and repeated cheers. The eloquent gentleman entertained the crowd for about an hour and a half, in it course of argument so clear, so well put and so thoroughly backed . up by FAcrs, as to render his stand-points entirely imptegnable;and the position of the Democratic party if possi ble more commanding for its patriotism and nationality. He went over the whole ground, taking a full and fair view of the Slavery question in its historical aspects—the prapea way to look at it—and introduced the testi-, mon) , of our wisest and best men since. the foundation of the government, ail proviirg that • the platform of the Democracy is the only true and safe ground for Union loving citizens.
