Where arc the Democrats,
The Pennsylvanian and other Buchanan or.
Bans have been assuring their readers ever since
the .Cincinnati nomination, that the great body
of the Old Line Whigs were going for Buchanan,
and by way of proof that such was the case,
in the State of Maine, four out of six Buchanan
candidates for Congress, were taken from the
Old Whig ranks. In lowa too, the Bue.haniers
counted on carrying the State by an overwhehn
ing majority from the alleged fact that a great
proportion of the Whigs had joined their party.
Now, admitting that the ‘Vhigs are generally
for Buchanan, the question! arises, where are
the Democrats ? lowa and Maine have been
carried by the Fremonters by larger majorities
than used to be given in those States for •the
Democratic party, and the conclusion is irre
sistible that if the Whigs have tinned Demo
crats the majority Of the old Deniocrats are now ,
in the Republican ranks, where they are battling t
for the same principles that animated their
party under the leadership of Jefferson and
Madison ; while the pretended and spurious
Democrats having discarded every cardinal
principle of the fathers of their faith, arc very
consistently endeavoring to elevate to the Presi
dency a man who distinguished himself in early
life as the deadly foe of the Democratic party,
but who in his latter days has assumed the
Democratic name in order more tifectually to
overthrow Deinocratic principles.
Still Come Over to Freemont
The ranks of the " CONQUEROR OF CALI
FORNIA" are rapidly increasing in all direc
tions. The acquisitions are from the humblest
to the highest in position and influence.—
Amongst the thousands in this State who have
joined the ranks of Freedoin lately, are the Thin.
John M. Read, District Attorney under Gen.
Jackson ; lion. Wm. M. Meredith, Secretary of
the Treasury under Gen. Taylor : llon.
Duane, Secretary of the Treasury under Gen.
Jackson ; and the Hon. Edward Coles, the in
timate friend and confidant of Thomas &Mr-
son, of Philadelphia, and the Don. Samuel 1).
Ingham, of Bucks county, a Cabinet 01liver (II
Gen. Jackson. These men 'are neither aboli
tionists nor disunionists. They entertain the
most patriotic regard for both the Union and
Freedom of this Confederacy ; but they despise
the vile threats of the Slaveocracy, to dissolve
the Union in the event of the election of Free
moot ; and they place their condemnation upOn
it by openly espousing the cause of Freedom,
and advocating his election. Of Ingham, Coles
and Dunne it may truly be said, " Thou shalt I
rise up before the hoary headed and honor the,
face of the old man." A cause must be sacred
indeed which induces such men to come front
the retirement of public life in old age and cop..'
demn the course pursued by the present lead- I
ers of the party in which they have been bat
tling
for nearly half a century.

Editor Hiing In Kansas.
The Evansville Journal learns from a gentle
man just come from Green Castle, Putnam
county; that Alfred Patrick, Esq., formerly edi
tor of the Putnam county Banner, was hang in
Leavenworth. by the Border Ruffians, a short
time since. The news first came as a rumor,
which was not believed till verified by a letter
to ona of his relatives. Mr. Patrick was well
known over the State as an editor. He was a
vigorous and spicy writer, and before his de
parture for Kansas was a strong pro-slavery
man' and advocated the American cause. After
14:eirrival in Kansas, and he had an opportuni
ty of observing the course and conduct of the
pro-slavery men there, he wrote home letters
signifying a decided change in his views, and
detailing dangers he hail escaped from holding
opinions sympathetic with those of the free State
men.

We have seen enough of it, and we are going to

and vote the Republican Ticket.
'Again we call upon every voter, no matter
what party he may have belonged to heretofore,
to go to the poll and vote with the true, and
untrammelled Democratic Republican party,
and we garrantee you our sacred honor that the
Union is saved, and victory will crown us, and
the great blessings of Freedom and Liberty re•

Our Third Year.
An important change has however taken
place in regard to its future course. We last
week dropped the neutral banner, and will now
conduct it upon strict party grounds, taking
the principles of the great Republican party as
the basis which shall govern us ; and in doing
so, it will be our object and aim to place those
principles before the people, in an honest, can
did
manner, and shall " sink• or swim" in en-
&arming to render " TTIE GREATEST GOOD TO
vim GREATEST Ntoninn," and we shall do so I
with the heartfelt conviction that we are right. :
• The presidential election will decide a clues . -
tion fraught with the highest interests of our
nation, and upon the result of which, in our.'
opinion, will dependin a great degree the perma
nency and stability of our Free Institutions.
The question is, in 4 our mind : Shall Slavery
be Nitional or Sectional ? Shall the Govern
ment of the United States drift onward in the
support of the aggressions of the Slave Power,
or shall it be restored to the tendencies which
prevailed while it was under the control of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Roger Sher
man;Mason, and other founders of its Constitu
tion, and controlers of its. infant institutions ?
Shall every public official from the Judges of the
Supreme Courts, down to the veriest toll-gate I
keeper in the land be a supple tool in procuring
the furtherance of Slavery, or shall the princi
ples which were expressed in the Declaration
of Independence be the basis of our national. ac
tion, and good and true men
. administer the
laws and enforce their execution. This is the
issue. These are the questions to be . settled.
A favorable answer to them can only boon giv-
en, as we think, and as all must acknowledge
who are candid, in the success of the Republi
can party. The Democratic party, not only by
its past acts, its present imbecile and contempt
ible administration and its line of policy fur the
future, is committed to the extension of slavery
over Kansas, to the formation of New :gave'
States out of the Territory acquired from Mex
ico, and to the suppor,t . ,f the various and out
rageous aggressions of the Slave poWer all over
the country. With these facts in viewand
they arc facts—there remains but one course
for Freemeit•to adopt, with a show of success,
and. that is in support of the Republican party,
which party is young, fresh and vigorous. Its
platform is lilteral , consistent and broad enough
for all to stand upon. Nothing of sectionalism,
proscription or fanaticism is in it. It is based
upon the policy inaugurated and carried out by
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, &c., on the
Slavery question. Its lenders arc the tried and
true men who have for years past fought the
battle of Freedom in Congress and out of it,
and tvhbse devotion to the Union has never.been
questioned, except by those who hind a selfish
interest in crying " Stop thief." This party
is the party of thopeople. "The old party hacks,
political traders, and Demagogues are against
it, but the people, the free-thinking and tight
acting people compose it. •
10 - -- It gives us great pleasure to announce
that our old and esteemtd friend, Dr. Samuel C.
Bradshaw, of Bucks county, is on the course
for re-election for Congress. When •we say,
that' he has proved to be the most reliable na
tional officeT ever sent from this 'District, we
fuel that we are not saying too much ; and we
hope and believe, that he will be re-elected with
an overwhelming majority. Let the Republi
cans of Lehigh do tlieir duty, and our word for
