Remember the rrinter.
The Fair this week will bring thousands of
persons to town from every part of the country.
We hope our friends will not forget that the
printer needs money—and that the smallest fa
vors will bo thankfully received at this office.
To our Headers.
This week the shackles of neutrality fall from
our limbs. That benumbing position,, which
has paralyzed the influence that every local
press should exert, is left, we trust forever.
We have for some time felt that we were not
true exponents of any portion of public senti
ment, that our. tand point was not recognized
and respected by the spirit of the-times. Out
of regard to private circumstance's, and that we
:night not seem to injure by premature action
the feelings or interests of one nearly related to
us, we have restrained the expression of the
honest sentiments of our heart.
We have watched with intense interest the
contest now going on in our beloved land be
tween. Slavery as a political power, committing
insufferable aggressions upon the sacred inher
Hemp of the free laboring men of the whole
Union, claiming under forced interpretations of
the Constitution, rights which can never he
granted while ours remains a democratic repub
lican government--and the established doc
trines and policy of the venerable founders of
our institutions. It is not too late, we hope, to
do our duty in our sphere, now, that the con
siderations referred to no longer withhold us.
We enlist then in the Republican cause de
termined. in an,earnest and truthful way and
in no bitter partizan spirit, to place the mo
mcntous issues of this Presidential campaign
plainly before the people of Lehigh county, con
fident that they will show to their fellow-citi
zens, all over the country, whose eyes arc now
anxiously turned to this section of Pennsylva•
nia, that party names and trammels will not
prevent them from• investigating candidly and
deciding honestly.
This step places us in a position of politionl
antagonism to many of our readers : we atik
from them only the same liberality and support
freely extended by the Republicans to the
democratic press. --only a fair reciprocation.
Owing to a want of time we are not able this
week to give a lengthy issue of the Republican
cause or a full exposition of the Sham Democ
racy.
Abolitionists
When the friends of Buchanan call his oppo
nents . abolitionists,' they tell • the intim li,
The time haii gone by when the cry of ' marl
dog' can be used to keep rogues in office
The opponents of Buchanan are no abolitionists.
That faction has its candidate fhr the Presiden
cy,—Gerret Smith, we believe, end they will
support him, or Mr. Buchanan. We are willing
to let slavery remain where it is. We seek
not to disturb it. We say to the South, you
shall be protected in the rights which the Con
stitution gives you, and breed, and buy, and
sell slaves as you please. But when your ruf
fians . attempt to force slavery into Kansas :
when they determine to extend it over the
whole Unoccupied territory of the country. and
• tbifS crowd out free labor, that is another Mat
ter, and although the so-called Democratic par
ty of the North are willing to do your dirty
work to gain your votes, there are free men in
the North who will not do it.
Worthy of Imitation.
In a recent political speech in Michigan the
Hon. JESSE D. Bamwr. the distinguished Pre
sident of the Senate, said " there was no dan
" ger of disruption in the Union, and that neith
! "Cr • Congress nor all the politicans in the
"Country can dissolve the Confederacy our
" fathers made and handed down to us,"—a
noble and. true sentiment, worthy to be the
text of every public speech in every part of
the country, to the end of the country, to the
end of the Presidential canvass, and ever after.

this a hoax, from the fact that Buchanan, him

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, OCTOBER 1, 1856.
DISUNIONIST.
The loudest cry of the Buchanan party, after
we except their slang 'phrases agaitist the Re
publicans, is that of sectionalism and disunion.
It is useless for the Republicans do deny this
charge and ti call fir the proof: without giving
them credit fur their own professions and' deni
als, or once bringing a shadow of proof to sus
tain their assertions against the party, they
still reiterate the charge, because, we presume,
they have no argument to oppose to the real
principles as put forth in their own platform and
organs.
It was the remark of an old police officer, that
the fellow in a crowd who vociferated most Ins
tily " Stop thief !" was the ono guilty of the
stealing.—This is emphatically true of the Bit
chananecrs ; for while they ring out the notes
of disunion against the supporters of Freedom,
their own organs are filled to the brim—espe
cially in the Slave States—with open avowals
of disunion of the most explicit and undisguised
character. Indeed one might readily conclude
that the cry was raised against their opponents
for the express purpose of covering their own
acts, intentions, and designs.
But wo are not left alone to the newspaper,
and common evidence to show its disunion sen
timents. At the recent demonstration made
by them at Hamilton. 0., Mr. BRECKENRIDGE,
one of the standard bearers of that party, speak
ing of theltepuhlican party. said;
And yet if this new party should succeed.
HOW COULD KENTUCKY LONGsn REMAIN IN TUE
UNION ?"
This is no version by an enemy of his remark.
as these identical words wiJI be found in the re
port of his speech as published in the Hamilton
Telegraph of Sept 4th, a paper that all:know is
rabidly for Buchanan and Breckenridge. When
the other side can point to such a sentiment fall
ing from the lips of either Mr. Fremont or Mr.
Dayton, they may well accuse the Republicans
of being disunionists ; but until they have some
sure and substantial basis upon which to fourid
their charge, like the man in a glass house, they
had better cease to throw stones.
But aside from the treason embodied in the
foregoing interrogative declaration, their is a
species of lordly domineering expressed by it,
which no free man should hear or rend without
rebuke. It is this: That if a majority of the
people prefer to elect one sot of men before
another, the minority will, not submit to the
will of a majority, and fur what reason ? they
don't live in the right States ! In other words,
the slaveholders say: We will not submit to
be governed by any man we do not choose to
assist in electing President and Vice President
of the United States. You fellows of the North
mast do as toe soy, or we will dissolve the Uni
on. Well, gentlemen, pitch in, if you wish a
good drubbing, is our reply. These men have
been accustomed to use the lush RR their lives ;
but we are not in favor of allowing them to hold
the whip over the freemen of the North, and
commanding us who to vote thr under pain of
I heir sore displeasure. We have submitted to
the rule of men of their choosing long enough 1 :
to have some of our own, and we are going to
elect such, and we have no fears but that Ken-
Lucky will (Ind it the easiest thing in the world
to remain in the Union, notwithstanding her 1
traitorous son goes about preaching that it will I
be impossible for her to do so.
If the Buchanan men are willing to be thus
dictated to by their '• lords and masters" of the
South, well and good ; they have the right to
do so ; hut we do not envy them their manhood
or independence. If any thing in the world
could disgust a person of good sense, it seems
to us that such base electioneering as this
would. If you northern men refuse to elect
me, John 0. Breckenridge, to the Vice Presi-
dency of the ration, my State will not submit'
We should like to know how many Kentuck

Mr. Breckenridge will reap no profit nt home
for stooping to such contemptible means for per-

007. Geary in Kansas
We have already announced the fact that the
'lon. John W. Geary, the recently appointed
Governor of Kansas has arrived in the territo
ry. We are glad to see that the new Governor .
has entered upon his dutieS in a most energetic
manner, and that he evinces a disposition to
put down all the distracted parties in Kansas,
no matter from what quarter they may emanate.
We do not wish him to faror either party. but
to deal out justice to both, and give tacit a fiir
and honorable chance to maintain its principles
and establish its policy. The Bogus Laws
ought to be all set aside, because the people of
the Territory did not make them, and a new
election should be had under fair auspicies, and
let the residents of Kansas, and they only, have
a voice in the matter. If this is done in good
faith, wo have no fears of the result. But
whatever may be in store for the people there
in future, wo heartily rejoice that at present
there is a prospect of peace,—that, the ruffians
will be kept out, when the Free State men,
having no cause for alarm, Will at one° disband
and resume their agricultural and other peace
ful pursuits—a consummation which might
have been arrived
_at long since had the Admin
istration at Washington evinced only half the
firmness and determination displayed by the
present Governor of the Territory. The Gover
nor says he is determined that • the territo
rial laws shall be enforced, be the consequences
what they may. So fin. Mr. Geary seems to
act with justice and judgment and a continu
ance of this course will win for him a good
Immo and emelt 'MOROI...
The Man Meeting
, Last Friday the largest political gathering
ever assembled in Lehigh county, met upon
the Court House Lawn. Much as we had heard
of the state of feeling which had beeii 'aroused
in the country by the treachery of the present
administration, by border ruffianism at Wash
ngton and in Kansas, we had no idea that the
quiet farmers of our section were so thoroughly
moved aiktheir presence in crowds at the Innis
meeting indicated. It 'was not a collection of
partisans excited by an electioneetity contest.
We saw numbers of all political parties in for
mer years, earnestly listening and loudly ap
plauding the thrilling eloquence of Mr. Burlin
game, and the convincing democratic logic of '
Judge Wilmot. Party lines are evidently
breaking away before the force of truth. The
people see that this is not a conflict of Whigs
and Democrats or Know Nothings but a serious
struggle involving the life of the nation—it bat
tle between systems—free labor and slave la
bor--bondage, barbarism and heathenism, and
liberty, civilization and,,cfnistianity.
We would gladly speak of the different dele
gations that came pouring in with bands of
music and beautiful flags and banners covered
with pithy, truth telling mottoes, but we were
not then sure of our present position as the Eng
lish organ of the Repubflcan party in this coun
ty, and we:did not minute down the particulars.
When the Hon. Henry King, mid the unani
mous ayes of the multitude took the, chair of
President, all felt that another powerful influ
ence had been cast upon the ride of right.
It was a joyous day, ominous in all respects
of future success. The great body of the peo
ple, front the remote parts of the county, re
tired at the close of the speaking in the after
noon, and when we repaired to the club room
in the evening to bear Dr. Elder, we wondered,
whence came the dense crowd that blocked the
street. For two hours and a half did the ring
ing tones of the eloquent orator fill the night
air. We glory in Dr. Wm. Elder ; we know
not his superior in Pennsylvania for sound ar
gument, genial humor, biting wit and power
of expression ; all were sorry when he closed
his address, though two of the most eloquent •
speakers of our opponents that have as yet ap
peared in Allentown, had, at the Democratic
head Quarters, entirely expended themselves,
and dismissed their audience to swell the mul
tilude that were chained by the powerful rea
soning of the Republican champion.
We are satisfied With this manifestation of
genuine spontaneous enthusiasm from the peo
pie of Lehigh. Whatever counter dernonstra
tion the wire pullers of a sham democracy
may attempt or produce (and they are skillful
in exciting a spit it of bravado and competition)
we shall never lose our faith in the freedom.
loving hearts of the yeomanry of our county.

Political Item.
The signs of the times in Pennsylvania con•
Linue favorable. Among the recent accessions
to the Fremont ranks are the Iron. John M
Read, formerly Attorney General under that
sterling Democratic Governor, Shunk. and llon.
William M. Meredith, ..ecretary of the
ry tinder that noble soldier, President Taylor
Mr. John gorn, fortherly naval officer of Phila
delphia under Van Buren, is doing good service
for the cause of freedom.
The gloomy prospects of Buchanan and Fill
more are promoting to desperate measures.
We have reason to believe that arrangements
are negotiating to bring about a union of the two
tickets in some of the Northern States, if the
October elections tell against Buchanan. Such
a union may be attempted in Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania, but
it will not avail. The Republican Locomotive
is in motion, and will sweep all obstructions
from the track.
(0 --- A Meeting of the citizens of Concord. N.
! 11. was held' on Monday evening, for the pur
-1 pose of making arrangements for giving a recep
tion to President Pierce. An attempt was
made by the temporary Chairman, against an
overwhelming vote in opposition but ho was
repudiated, and S. B. Chandler was made
Chairman of the meeting. General Low ob
tained the floor and said he and the audience
might live to see the day when they would re
spect General Pierce as highly as they now do
General Jackson. The remark was received
with a storm of hisses. Mr. L. F. Pint offered
the following resolution, and supported it in an
able speech :
RESOLVED, That it is inerpedient, as citizens of
Concord, to make arrangements fin . )rietng a pub
lic reception to President Pierce, at the present
lime.
Mr. Flint boldly arraigned President Pierce
as responsible for nearly' all the murders and
rutrnges that have been committed by the Bor
der Ruffians in Kansas. An attempt was made
by the Democracy to gag him down, but he
was heard, and his resolution was adopted 113 ,
a vote of fobr to one, and the meeting adjourn

Subsequently his party friends organized and
arranged a reception. Will Mr.. Pierce accept
it?

OP,
(Communicated.)
MR. Enron.—Being barred from giving put
lieity to my Democratic sentiments in regard
to the disgusting inane:covers of the Eremocrat
ic party, in the " Allentown Democrat," I ap
peal to you and your generosity, to insert a few
lines in the " Register," to define the position,
as occupied by many honest and upright Dem
ocrats of this county. I was always taught
that the will of the majority of the people—
fa.rly ex&essed, was to govern and rule the
Democratic party—that it was a matter for the
people to decide upon whom they might choose
to bestow favors, and not for a set of intrigue
ing politicians. The majority of the people
shall govern, is th true genuine Democratic
principle, which • s old as the institutions upon
which the gove nment of our country is found
ed. When this great principle is nullified, as it
has been, not only in the government of town
ship and county affairs, but by the State and
National government, it is high time for the
honest, intelligent and patriotic masses of the
people, without distinction of party, to arouse
and show the civilized world that the spirit,
which animated the" founders and framers of
our institutions, is not to be trampled down by
a set of men, whose aims are offices ; plunder,'
and oppression. The people will not submit to I
see the sacred rights, as handed down to them'
by the great and good men of 1776—the Dec- I
laration of Independence and the Constitution
of the United States—trampled down, but
maintain them, and restore the Government to
its original purity, and give peace and quiet to
the country.
how is this to be effected ? The people
must take the matter in hand for themselves,
and elect men to office on whom they can de
pend—men who will carry out the principles
calculated to advance the happiness and pros
, purity of the Free laboring men, and conse
quently the principles of 'liberty. The party
which calls itself democratic has so far devia
ted from the Jeffersonian doctrines, that it has
not a shadow of democracy about it any longer.
Theadministration of Franklin Pierce, and the
Cincinnati Platform party of James Buchanan,
(excuse, it matters not much whether. ire say
the Platform. of James Buchanan, or. James
Buchanan of the Cincinnati Platform—it is
all the same,) was not intended—is not intend
ed
and never will be intended to carry out
democratic principles. The platform is tie
ceptively framed, and cannot be carried out
without deception. As Democrats--es lovers
of the principles of Jefferson, it becomes ne- '
cessary to ponder, to inquire into the politi
cal history of our country,- before we approach
the elections in October and November tiext.l
—to examine the position the different par . ;
ties occupy, and make a clear impartial deci
sion. So far as regards myself, (and I know
of many men who agree with me,) I have pass-;
ed my sentence to discountenance all connec
tions with the Shamocratic Buchanan party. 1
The Republican party stands before the Coon
try, espousing the principles of Freedom and 1
liberty. It advocates the doctrine of true tie- 1 1
mocincy—it is opposed to oppression, and the
innumerable wrongs committed by the present
imbecile administration of Franklin Piet-Ct.—it
is opposed to the diabolical policy of buying.
conquering, or stealing Cuba, to add another
slave state to the Union--it is opposed to the
it jorious policy of Free Trade, and hence, in
favor of American industry and labor. I sup
port now the Republican party as a democrat.
and I call upon all Union loving men to come
out for the Republican candidates and save
the precious Union"from the hands of a set of
men who have sold themselves to the nigger
driving south, for offices and public plunder,
regardless of principles and tree manliness.
The cry of the "Union is in peril" is a most foul
and confounded humbug, with which we have
long enough been deceived. Democrats arouse
one and all ; show that you are in favor of hon
esty in politics as well as other things, and that
mean low degrading - blackguardism, of which
we have seen enough, is not democratic, and
will not take with good and honest men.

Resolution adopted by the Republican Na
tional Convention, held in Philadelphia, Juno
17, 1,850 :
Resolved, That with our Republican fathers,
we hold it to be a self-evident truth, that all
men are endowed with the inalienable right of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and
that the primary object and ulterior design of
our Federal Government is to grant these rights
to alt persons under its exclusive jurisdiction.
That, as our Republican rkthers, when'they had
abolished Slavery in all our National Territo
ries ordained that no person shall be deprived
of life. liberty, or property, without due process
of law, it becomes our duty to maintain this
provision of the Constitution against all at
tempts to violate it, Cm the purpose of estab
lishing Slavery in the Territories of the United
States by positive legislation, prohibiting its
existence or edlension therein. That we deny
the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Leg
islature, of any individual or arty association of
individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery.

present Constitution shall be maintained.
