Senator, Henry Clay in Favor of Popular Sovereignty, TERNIIV CLAY was an earnest advocate of the.doctrine of PoetmAtt SovanntoNTY, as has }wen and is now the Democratic party of the country. It is the only national view which enn he taen : <lf the Slavery' question—and tire'rw:e it is r:o, the t.liwk I;e:alblican party, which is se-tiontaseeks by every 111•`;1'14 to weaken our pisition on the ;>oint.— To t tis end, the Star and tile Sontinel are publMtieg an eXtrant from a speei;h of Mr. Clay, in which he declared that lie "would =1 sote_to_e_xtend_slavery over territory whore it did not exist ;" and they would create the impression thereby that he favored the fa till notion of the Abolitionists. We do not know where the extract is taken from, but it :nay be from his speech of 1850, in which language something like it i 8 to be found. if it, Ye had from that source, however, we would advise our candid neighbors to look twenty lines farther in the same column, and then - will find these significant words, assert ing emphatically his adhesion to the principle of Bipolar Sorerei lay, as recognized in the Kansas-tiebr,i9ka Act. MAIIK THEINI! '4llr, Clay, in speaking of the territory acquired from Mexico, said: "If the citizen 9 of those Territories chose to establish slavery, and if they eome here with monstitutions establishing slavery, I em for admitting them with such provisions in their constitutions, but then it will be their own work, and not ours." At the same time Mr. Clay introduced a resolution in the Senate, declaring that is inexpedient for Congress to provide by law eithor for its introduction into or exclusion from any part of said territory; and that ap propriate territorial governments ought to ho established by Congress in all of said terri tory, not assigned as the- boundaries of the proposed State . of California, without the clop qf any restru•tion or condition on the sub ject of slavery." • Could words go farther to prove HENRI CL.tv's cordial and emphatic endorsement of the.position of the Democratic party on this important question ? If our Know Nothing Black Republican neighbors aro not satisfied with those items of testimony on -the part of one whom' they once professed to respect, we can add inure. "Who threaten to dissolve the Union ?" Sian ? W e «ill answer the question, cool andunl ilushing as it is. - ht is at least the larger wing of that party which has placed in the field a sectional candidate for the Presi dency, John Charles Fremont l--nominated as he was by the delegates from one section of the .country, to be cleated by that section.— It will not do for the Slur or Sentiac/ to pre tend- to n ation a ity tali - Mate, whui► the unanswerable fact is borne in mind that he was not nominated as a national candidate. But there la,inllltillluul testimony, "strong as holy writ." _ Whore stands Garrison, the notorious Atheist, Abolitionist and Disunionist? With . Fremont. ro I'ItUVE this assertion, let us I quote what ho says: "As against -Buehanan and Fillmor , ?, it seems to us the sympathies and best wishes of every enlightermd freeman must he on the side ofTremont ; iei that if there were no mo ral harrier to our voting and we had a millhin votes to bestow, we should cast them all for the Republican candidates." Whore is that other noted Disunionist, Ger rit Smith? llc shows it by saying : "qlut the true question - is not, what is the past of Mr. - Fillmore and . Col. Fremont on Slavery, but what is their present on the soliect; and here we find that, whilst Col. Fremont has 'out-grown ,his pro-slavery edu cation, Mr. Fillmore has apostatized front his anti-slavery education that whilst COI,. FREMONT IS NOBLY ASCENDING THE ANTI-SLAVERY ',ADDER. -AND W ILL. ERE LONG, REACH THE ABOLITION OR TOP-ROUND, Mr. Fillmore has descended it. * * Nut a single Abolitionist will vote lin. Mr, Fillmore. NINETY-NINE IN A HUN DRED OF THEM WILL VOTE OM COL. FREMONT, and even thollundredth will pre fer his election to that of Mr. Buchaium or Mr. Fillmore." What - says Horace Greely, whose paper is so often quoted by the star ? This: -ru.,vr, NO DOUBT BUT TILAT THE FREE AND SLAVE STATES OUGLIT TO BE SEPARATED. TLIE UNION IS NOT WORTIISUPPOETING IN CONNEXION TILE SOUTH." What says the present Lieutenant Gover nor of Rhode Island, -who is one of the most active Fremont men. in OM State? Why. that "lIE WOULD GIVE TEN mous:AND DOLLARS TO DISSOLVE THE UNION OF' THE STATES;,, Fred.l - Douglass, who has taken down the name of Gerrit Smith from-his pztpet:', and run up that of Fremont, declares, to use hiB own language, that "h e is ready to inlcome the bolt, heaven ur hell, ?eh kit shall SHIVER THE UNION TO ATOMS !" Need we add more, to prove that Fremont is the candidate of the Disunionists.? Surely not to convince sensible men. The editor or the Star is too desperate at the prospect of losing the county, to alli•w us t )1 that he.will assent to ;u which does not fa vo:• his rotten and sinking, cause. We do nut, ender the eircumstauccs, expect fairness from him letter from a gentleman of undoubt ed veracity at Iloidlershurg, informs us that the Kaow Nothing Black Republican mi•etiug at that place on Thursday, was “almost un entire failure; ten persons from G.qtyshurg, including the speakers'and drivers, and not than fiftem from all other quarters."- 11,e :neeting was nothing in comparison to that held there by the Democrats - on We(laes • d a y ex t . .. )(nigh the K.

Such desperate "wriggling in and Writ - 4, , Ang out" we never saw before, even in its polluted columns. It tmdertook, some two weeks ago, in order to break the force of Henry Clay's hone-stly tiro-Ned on the ,Slavery question, to an extract which we had male from repot on that suh;ovt in 1850, it arl pNirod in the Cvni : //v.miona/ ( . .do/m, was "gar bled." The , editor hoped, by him very bold rfe'ss,--to wipe it all - away. But he missed liis mark. The extract was made with a perfect knowledge of its truth and fulness. We knew that we 1, td the edi tor, and defied him to show wherein it was "garbled." Does he do it in his last? "Not n bit of it." But coolly says that he read the "Life and Speeches of Henry Clay," and didn't find_ it there ! Iti not that the very quintessence of as SU ranee ? The extract was not quoted as from one of his Speeclaw, but from his Report on the Compromise hills, as it is printed in the Congreviiimal 010 hr, the (Sidra journal of Congress, the page itself being referred to.— Why didn't the editor of the Star apply to that source ? lie did not wish to. Ile knew better. He knew that he would find Henry Clay's language there precisely as we have given it—and as it is hero repeated. Said Mr. Clay in that report: true principle which ought to regulate the action of Congress in forming territorial governments for each newly acquired domain, is to refrain from all le7islation on the subject (of Slavery) in the territory aequired, so long as it retains the territorial term of government --leaving it to the people - of such Territory, when they have attained to a condition which entitles them to admission as a State, to de cide for themselves the question of the allow ance or prohibition of domestic slavery."— (See Contires3icalat Globe, May 10, 1850, page 945.) There's book, date and page! Now, come up to" the rack,, "fodder or no fodder !" "Beati - ng around the stump" will not do for these times. K l 5-The Know Nothiug Black Republican candidate fur the Senate in this district, Mr. Crooks, of Chamherslmrg . , has been stumping the county for a week or more, in the vain en deavor to induce a majority of our citizens to vote for him. lie had accompanying. him a Mr. Stambaugh, of the same place, who has obtained ci shierable notoriety - iu Franklin fin county on acemint of his extraordi nary de sire and ellorts fur office, and the low black guardism Which characterizes his speeches. Ilaviti,!„!. once professed Domocracy, he seems to think that the most effectual manner in which to coovince_his presentTarty friends that he is true to them, is by. maliciously abusing his old party. But the falsehoods without number which he so unblushingly retailed have been effective only after the manner of the ' . `gun which kicked its owner over'.'—that is, against his, the Knew Nothing Black Republietut party and its candidates. Trnly, the Democracy have nothing to•fear.from . such dark lantern ehanipions as Crooks and Stambau g h. IVbere was Pumroy, the Know Nothing conflidate 'for Congress? Is it true, that his strongest qualification lies in . this, that he. cannot appear "in_ public'on the stage?" be= cause when he does "rise—it is only to sit down again!" - 'rho Star and the Sentinel have been entirely oblivious as to Mr. P's. ability to defend the interests of. the'distriet and the State in debate un the flour of Cun t:o7 ss. --4011H10.- opposition arc very anxious that Mr. Buchanan should withdraw front the fi e ld as a c:Mdidate.

An *advertisement written. by a F illm F ore or remont man ap peared in the Lo/yer, recently, proposing the with - drawal of Mr. Buchanan in favor 'of Mr. and of Donelson in favor of Mr. Breckitiridge. Some of the opposition caught at this idea, and hate 'been endeavoring to create the impression that such: an arran;:e ment would be made. it is too ridiculous to be entertained. No such thing is desired or thought of, and the opposition, however much they would hail such an act of, political suicide, are bound to be disappointed if they expect its accomplishment. Mr. Buchanan is in ex cellent health and spirits, his friends, san guine, and the country determined to secure his :services at the heall - of the government for four years from and after the •Ith of March REAL BLACK REPUBLICANS.

Ponder the subject well, - Democrats of ManlF—and bring up your entire force to thefirs/ battle: Tho State Ticket. The l)enrner•atie Tarty is aware that in the contest that come.' off en the 1 WI of Oetober, it is e! upon t s fight single howled what our opponents call '-the I%►sion State Ticket." That Is, some months since, when the mater -ials of-their party, if it-is deserving of - the name, were more discerdant than now, a few political schemers met in Ilar•rishnrg and nominated first Thomas E. Cochran for Canal t;omn►issioner•, purporting to be an old line Whig, -Bartholomew Laporte for - Surveyor General, Republican, and Darwin - Phelps, for Auditor General, Kilow Nothing.—The Fre mont and Fillmore papers of Pennsylvania both have this ticket flying at their mast head, and the idea-prevails that the friends of each are to vote this Union ticket. . Demoerats will therefore see the absolute necessity of arousing every man to do his du ty actively. and earnestly at the first election. IT there is any , man proiessin:.7„ our principles and anxious to have our etfurts crowned with success, let him 0 to the polls at the October election, even if he stays' at home in Novem ber. If there is any one in our ranks who cannot make up his mind ti - 0 to both elec tions, we counsel him to stay away from the second rather than the• first. A great many persons are anxious to vote for •James Buchau an, and - they make up their minds to do so without fail, and they will pay little attention to the October contest, promising themselves to be up and doing in November. Tho man who nets thus does Mr. Buchanan a positive iujury. :We wish every man to make up his mind to vote at both elecitions;but particular ly let him exercise his right of sufFrage on, the 11th day of o,:tober. Our opponents are pour ing money and political lecturers into every part of this State. in order that the so-callel Union State Ticket may be elected. We heard it stated in Philiidelpoa. last week, that Bos ton alone had sent $90,00(‘) into Pennsylvania to aid in the election of Fremont. We must meet this desperate party and foil it in our State election. We have the strength to do it, and it must be forthcoming at the hour of need. Let, then, every Democrat and every true friend of James Buchanan, been-the elec tion ground on the 14th day of October. One word, in conclusion, to Fillmore men in regard to voting the "Union State Ticket." Is there one single man on that State Ticket who will vote for, or desires .the election of Millard Fillmore.? Nut one! It is well known that all three of the candidates are Fre mont men. They are -only anxious that the Fremont party should carry the State. All their efforts are for Fremont, and against Fill-. inure, and yet the friends of Fillmore propose to vote a ticket that can only aid and assist the cause of the so-called Republicaos. Will they do it? The Fillmore presses and speak ers everywhere denounce the Black Republi cans, they do nut hesitate to cull them, in the must unsparing manner, and yet the honest• men of that party, the union loving men in the ranks of Fillmore, aro called upon to vote a Fremont State ticket—a - ticket made up of persons ly - ho are deadly' hostile to Mr. Will they vote this ticket? Are they to be duped by so transparent a decep tion ? : We-think and hope -not. They can, as sincere opp)sers of Fremont and the disa nionists who arc in his trails, with far greater propriety vote for the Democratic State ticket, and beleive the sincere friends of Millard Fillmore will do so. Was 'Henry Clay a Highway Rob ber ?---A Question for Honest Whigs to Answer ! In the Nittionul intelligenrer of yesterday Mr. John Barney, whom we take for a Know Nothing Whig, is permitted to say of the Ostend manifesto and Mr. Buchanan : '"rhe - principles them asserted by him are those of the highway robber, when he asserts it a duty, if Spain refuses to sell.euha, that we must take possession, because necessary to our self-preservation.", lather than accept Mr. Barney's version of the Osten f manifesto, let us quote the precise words of that instrument upon • the subject brought in review. They are as follows: "After - we shall have offered Spain a price for Cuba. far, beyond its oresent value, and this shall have been refused, it, will then be time to consider the question, IV&i - C - trilia in the possession of Spain seriously endanger our internal peace and the existence, of Our cherished Union ? Should this question be answered in the affirmative, then, by every law, lumnin and divine, we shall be justified in wresting it from Spain, if we possess the power and this, upon the very same prikici ille that wouhl justify an individual in tearing down. the burning house of his neighbor, it there wore no other means of preventin:4 the flames from destroying his own hone. Under such circumstances, we ought neither to count th e cost nor regard the odds which Spain might enlist, against us."_ , Now; let us learn whether this sentiment is peculiar to Mr. Buchanan and his associ ates in the promulgation of that manifesto, or whether they are not" the Antiments of great political parties into which the republic has becu for many years divided on political sub jects. In the ''Life and Speeches of Henry Clay," by iNlallory, voltunc,first,pages 2tl7.__a ally lie funnel the following passage from •!I.lr. Clay's defence of Pl•esident 31.atlison's seizure of \Vest Florida "It cannot be, too often repeated, that if CU .I)3 on the one hand, and Florida on the other, tre in the possession of a foreign maratime 'over, the inum - mse extent of couatry belong - ' ung to - the United States, and watered by treams discharging themselves into the Gulf of Mexico, &e., 4:c., are placed at the mercy of that power.

Within the last few rears paot those fanatics. and factioni:44 hrt•ve re sorted to all kinds of schente4 in order to ad vance and,prop up their untenable cause, and to humbug the people: While feigning to al;h - r and denounce ire others the evils-of commingling religion with politics, they two years ago, committed* and practised cot ertly the very sins they so loud ly prra,:ho:d against, fur the sole purpose or rendering their deception the more complete and successful. When their hypocrisy and inconsistency were fully discovered and exposed, they be came desperate with rage and disappoint ment, and, throwing off the mask by which they had endeavored to hide their duplicity, they came out the open advocates ofreligious discord ; the practical friends of mixing re ligion and politics together; and the veritable aiders and abettors of arraying one portion of the christian community against another that slightly differed with it on the solemn and private subject of religion—thus proving tho sincerity of their former professions, whilo seeininy to deplore, nay, to Weneretace the evils. that they were seerdly concocting and dissem inating—the unholy and turailolesomer alli ance of politics and religion_ In this new vocation they labored inces santly for more than &year, denouncing am! proscribing every man that did not happen to be born on this side oftlfordart, or that wor shipped his Maker according to the .I.*::Nrins of a particular christian denomination; confer ring on them at the same time, the most beautiful and charitable epithets - they conhi muster up, such lninions of nome, foreign paupers and criminals, papists and so on.

On last Thursday evening ahont sitr&3o, ac cording to previous noticti-, there was_a del ega-. tion front Gettysburg, numbering some twolve or fifteen persons., arrived in oar quiet tillage, aml_after__sume "s h uffiing" wilt. t_bp pr I per place for a stand—the meeting, consisting of some twenty or twenty-five of these latter-day saints, the above delegation, and abo.at the NalW3 -number of Simon pure Jackson Devito crats—was called to order in front of Mr. Hugh King's dwelling, the '4 crricus. commenc ing with 'two hymns, depictitu; ita ttrrible colours *the wrongs of "bleeding and outraged. Kati:-as," after which Mr. D. McCi)natighy spoke n non the Sz:LITIO , old and thread-bare sub ject of Kansas, bortb;:r ruffianism, and popu lar squatter sovereignty, b.!., folloWed by tho would-be-Senator, Mr. (;rooks, who charged a. Demo/n:l6e. speaker with having said in a speech at Heidlersburg, the night before, that the "Whigs were foul-mouthed'." I take this opportunity te say that it is a base lie, and al so to prove it by quoting what. was said. Jr_ Goldsborough -said that ''the leaders of the Know Nothing Abolition Republican Whig party were foul-motiththl," which a , sertion he proved by refering to some of the speeches of Wade, Banks, Giddings and others, and he distinctly placed a line of dental-trillion be tween Bill Johnston and Thaddeus Stevens bolting Whigs, and the true old Silver Gray Whigs of Clay and Webster. But I wish to slip_over that and _call your attention to an incident that transpired during the evening., Previous to the organization of the meeting., the sky had remained as clear as the eye of man ever rested upon, without a "star ob scured," but shortly after the meeting was called to order there was noticed rising in the South-western portion of the hea — ,V - ens, a singu lar black cloud, only one, which taking a course across the firmament, direcfly over the heads of the assemblage, where for a moment it seemed to linger, and then continuing on, it hid itself behind the north-eastern bills, at the very moment the meeting clilsed, I ant not disposed to be superstitious by any means, but why this one blth.k cloud, yes, black as the very principles which those men uvowed— why was it that there was not any more than that one to be seen in the vast heavens, and its course, its lingering over that benighted crowd? Can any one explain it? All ob served it, and I, after trying in vain to solve the mystic riddle, asked a Black Republican his opinion of that ominous black cloud. He remarked that it was the smoke that proceed ed from the crowd—no, said a Democrat standing near, more likely the gas proceeding from the because so small an audience could not give rise to so large a shadow.— But still it seems unsatisfactory, and I sup pose will remain so until time and the Ameri can Democracy settle it on the 4th of next November.
