But one Party North In 1860.
The so-called •Democratic party have a new
lease of life for four years, and it depends much
upon how it lives during those four years
whether it will be permitted to exist longer or
not. If it continues its old career of dorruption
and debauchery, at the end of four years its life
will be cut short, and it will be numbered
among the things that were. If Kansas is ad
mitted as a slave State—and we see no reason
why it may not be, from the complexion of the
next Congress and the pledges of the Adminis
tration to the South—its fate is forever sealed !
The fact that all old party issues are dead and
buried needs no other confirmation than the
fact that they have scarcely been so much as
mentioned during the last campaign. The
great political battles are therefore to be fought
on issues of the living present. No abstrac
tions or theories either, are the subjects of dif
ference and discussion. They are questions of
present. real, direct interest to every voter.
The campaign just closed has hinged upon the
great question of the extension of slavery,—the
one party endorsing the policy of Franklin
Pierce, the other contending for the immediate
protection of the territories by laws similar to
those drafted by Thomas Jefferson and Henry
Clay. During this campaign, however, many
friends of freedom, attracted by the name of
James Buchanan, and his apparently non-com
mittal history, voted for him—who are now and
have been ready to exclaim : " We are as much
opposed to the extension of slavery as you are."
It may be safely said that a majority of those
who voted the Buchanan ticket in the free
States are opposed to the extension of Slavery.
This fact indicates to us the condition of things
in 1860. Let Mr. Buchanan pursue the policy
laid down in his platform, as he is pledged , . and
has most servilely promised to do, and the
Democratic party will be reduced to the num
ber of its present corrupt leaders. The Repub
lican party will sweep every Northern town
ship, as they have swept Massachusetts. Let
him stand upon the principles of Jefferson, use
his power and influence to limit slavery and
extend the area of freedom, and the whole Rc
publican party will endorse and sustain his ad
ministration.
To give the Republican , platform irresistible
sway throughout every free State in the Union,
it is only necessary to demonstrate to the con
viction of the people the true character, tenden
cy and aims of the Buchanan party. Four
years will amply do that. Let Kansas be held
bound and bleeding at the foot of the men who
barter in human blood, as Buchanan has indi
rectly pledged himself to do,—let Cuba with
her half million bigotted Spaniards of negro
slaves be conquered and admitted to an equali
ty of Pennsylvanians, and the voice of the North
will be without a dissent—Republican.
It was predicted that the Republican party
would no more be hard of after the' election.
This is sheer nonsense. There never has been
a party lot med in this country that attained to
such size and power in •so short a time. And
why is this ? Why will it not flourish for a
time and then decay ? Because it is not a par
ty of men braided together for mercenary and
selfish purposes—men who make a tradOef pol
itics and live by the cflal. It is a party found
ed upon the living and eternal principles ofJus
tice and Right, and therefore cannot die! It is
the result of the gradual increase of anti-slavery
sentiment in this country. Far-seeing states
men in times gone by saw and predicted the
present state of parties. They saw that the
formation of two great parties, one of Slavery,
and the other of Freedom, was just as certain
as that cause produces effect. Whether this is
a desirable state of things, and what is to be
the final result, are questions that we need not
now discuss; but the feet that it is so must be,
apparent to every ono who has intelligently read
" the signs of the times." The repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, and the continued en- 1
croachtnents of the slave-power, have only has
tened a consummatiod that was inevitable.—
Though we condemn the motive of Douglas in
bringing about that repeal—believing it to have
been base—we know not but the act may result
in good. Thus it is, that Providence often over
• rules the wicked designs of men for beneficent
purposes. That the design and intent of that
• act was to extend slavery, .no sane man can
. doubt ; but whether or not it will prove to be
" the beginning of the end," that is to stop the
strides of that beloved institution to which the
South clings as though her temporal and eter
nal salvation depended upon its perpetuity,
While it is eating out her very vitals, time will
show.
_ _
Candidates for Governor.
Scarcely has the sound of the last political
canvass died away, until the chiefs of party are
beginning to cast about for candidates for Gov
ernor, to lead their respective hosts to battle
next autumn, in this State. The Democrats,
in various sections of the State, have named
Witte, Parker, Col. Black, Ephraim Banks, and
Col. William Hopkins. Among the opposition,
the names of William Mill ward, of Philadelphia ;
John Dick, of Erie ; S. A. Purviance, of Butler ;
the lion. AndreW Stewart, of Fayette, and. D
avid Wilmot, have been prominently mentioned.
Others talk of the re nomination of Governor
Pollock. •
The Pittsburg Post, a Democratic paper
says that large numbers of Pennsylvanians, in
different parts of the State, are preparing to
emigrate to Kansas early in the spring. Kar
m's is the . " land of promise," and to young men
of enterprise and thrift, it is the very point to
which they should turn their . eyes.
Southern Disunionist.' still Unsatisfied.
We bad supposed that. with the election of
Buchanan the satisfaction of the South would
NI complete, and that the disunionists would
hold up until another Presidential struggle came
round, at least. But the spirit of secession has
taken such a hold of the mind of the South
Carolinians that nothing will satisfy them.
They have too little to do, and, like sailors who
are allowed too much rest, get up a mutiny
merely to bo doing something. This must be
the secret of disunionism in South Carolina. In
the busier and thriftier States of the South, we
rarely hear of any outbursts of a treasonable
nature. In South Carolina, however, secession
ism is a chronic complaint. The intelligence
of Mr. Buchanan's election has hardly reached
South Carolina when ex• Senator Rhett ad
dresses a long letter to Governor Adams, in
which ho attempts to pursuade his Excellency
that disunion is not only necessary from past
causes, but from events which may occur. A
few weeks ago the Southern friends of Mr. Bu
chanan were urging the possible election of Col.
Fremont as a sufficient cause for dissolution.
But, now that Mr. Buchanan has been elected,
Mr. Rhett says :
" In my humble judgment, all true states
manship in the South consists in forming com
binations, and shaping events so as to bring
about, as speedily as possible, a dissolution of
the present Union, and a Southern confedera
cy."
' "
And the Charleston Mercury, on the letter of
Mr. Rhett, says : " Henceforth we are, neces
sarily, two people—the North and the South."
With such friends as these Mr. Buchanan
will find it difficult to deal safely. General
Jackson had a short method of curbing their
propensities, which proved perfectly efficacious ;
President Pierce tried an opposite method, and
took one of their leaders into his Cabinet.
Perhaps Mr. Buchanan will find it the most
convenient way of disposing of Mr. Rhett, either
to send him abroad on a mission, or to make
him one of his Ministers at home.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.—According to the best
calculation that can be made, the Senate of the
United States for 1857 will stand as follows :
Buchanan 37; Opposition 23, uncertain 2--total
62, with a Democratic majority of 14. The
House of Representatives of the new (or thirty
fifth) Congress will be about as follows.:—Buch
anan 132, Opposition 102 ; (probable) Demo
ocratic majority 28. The figures may vary a
little from the above, but a fair working major
ity must be conceded to the Democrats. There
have been already chosen for the 35th Congress
66 Democrats and 86 Opposition, giving the
latter twenty ranjonity ; elections are yet to be
hell in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississip
pi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir
ginia,—all probably Democratic ; while Rhode
Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut will
probably elect Opposition members. From the
above named States in the present Congress,
there are 43 Democrats and 39 Opposition ;
present majorityfbr the former 4.
Reah Frazer, Col. Forney, Sam Black, John
Robbins, Foster, Brodhead, Buckalew, and a.
host of other democrats, are already in the field
electioneering for the Senatorship. General
Cameron is also looking towards Washington,
and it is thought by many, that his chances are
equal, if not superior, to many of his democrat
ic opponents.

Failure of the Lancaster Bank.
The Lancaster Bank, after a sharp run at'its
counter fur a day, has closed doors. The fail
ure is said to be caused by the use of its means
by irresponsible parties for speculative purpos
es. Tho Bank has about $700,000 of Notes in
circulation, which it is beleived will be redeem
ed, as the Stockholders aro individually liable
fJr their redemption to the amount of Stock they
hold. The depositors and Stockholders will
come in after the Note-holders are paid ofl:
The holders of Notes had better not sacrifice
them if they can afford to hold them.
Gov. REEDER'S GRAVE DUG AT WESTPORT.
—A correspondent of the New York Times
writes as follows :
Arriving at Westport on our way home„oa
object of significance at this place was the
grave of A. 11. Reeder, prematurely prepared:
arl4 which the Pro-Slavery men say ho shall
rest if ho ever returns to Kansas. This gray::
stands under the shade of a large tree, directly
in front of the Farmer's hotel, the head guar
-ters of the Pro-Slavery men in this town. The
grave is dug to the proper depth, and in the
soil thrown up is thrust a spade, indicative that
the " narrow cell" is waiting for its occupant.
At the head of the grave stands a large white
marble slab, purchased at St. Limis by the Pro-
Slavery men at an extravagant price. Upon
his slab is engraved the following:
EPITAPII OP GOV. RECDER.
Reader, pause! beneath this stone
Lies A. 11. Reeder—nosh and bone;
Who, when living, for the sake of self,
➢singled with great rascals like himself.
Indians, rejoice! for unto you
never more apply the screw;
But think of him who robbed you . bere,
When ho at judgment shall appear—
Satan will exclaim with glee—
Welcome Reeder! Come with me.
This epitaph is dedicated to the Southern
Democracy. The secret of Reeder's unpopular
ity is in his recognizing.the Free State Legisla-
ture. The same threats which are made
against Reeder are made against Gen. Lane, if
he should enter Kansas again.

house on the Hudson, below Yonkers, to Arch
bishop Hughes, with a portion of the grounds.
The price was $50,000. The home of the

try in 1821, and in New York in 1823.. It was
not successful until 1827.
EIMIIIOOIIII I O Perturbation.
The Buchanan stock in the political Exchange
was seriously depressed before the October elec
tion ; it fell again before the 4th inst. It rose
slowly to a premium about the 7th. It has
never been steady. Its fluctuations have been
chiefly owing to the immense value of Republi
can exchange, as shown in , the market of the
free States.
Yesterday, however, at the second Stock
Board, it took a rapid turn downward. It was
announced by telegraph that Gov. Wise had
come from Virginia on a visit to Wfwatland.—
The purpose of his mission was instinctively.
divined. It was known how sensitive is the
barometer of extreme Virginia niggerism, of
which he is the representative and exponent.—
Rumors had been filling the land for days back,
that Mr. Buchanan had determined to use his
official influence to make Kansas a free State.
The Republicans gave no credence to this.—
But so many of the Democratic. leaders and ora
tors, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Illinois had
declared that ho would so act, and the indexes
of opinion among that pcirtion of their party
whom they had suceeded in entrapping into
voting for the " regular ticket" once more, so
loudly began to demand that these promises
should be fulfilled, that the very nervous and
excitable Mr. Wise grew restive under such de
monstrations.
Hu has therefore posted off to Wheatland to
extort from Mr. Buchanan a new pledge for
the acquisition of Cuba, the annexation of Nic
aragua, the forcing of slavery into Kansas, and
a general jubilee for fillibusterism and public !
robbery. If not Bobadil Wise loomingly
threatens to have the Electoral Colleges of the I
South throw their votes for a new man. Thus I
the election will go to the House, where the
five-thousand-dollar-per-nigger hero hopes no
election will be effected until the 4th of March.
Then Mr. Breckenridge will become President.
What a crusher all this is to Shamocratic hopes i
and aspirations. Amidst the jubilant and I
triumphant explosions of their joy, what a dis
turbing element Wise is. Can they not con
trive some method to slay him, kill him politi
cally. They had a dear bargain when they
bought him. We think they would sell out'.
much below cost.
Can the Republicans be of any service? If I
they cannot pa' up these family difficulties,
we suggest that they call in Gov. Johnston,
Thaddeus Stevens, Thurlow Weed, William H.
Seward, Watson Webb, James Gordon Bennet,
Horaca Greeley, Charles Sumner, Gov. Ford,
Col. Bissell, Gov. Grimes and others, and let
them act as a board of arbitrators. We have
no doubt they could settle the question to the
entire satisfaction of all parties.
Where is Forney ? Where is Vandyke ?
Where are all the members of the kitchen cabi
net ? We will back Wise against the field.—

At the Democratic jubilee at Bangor over the
supposed election of Buchanan, A. G. Jewett,
Esq., Ex-Minister to Peru under Polk, was
present, and is reported by the Bangor Courier
as follows : " lle talked plainly to the Democ
racy, and said in substance that every Demo
cratic Administration had stood by the slave
holder, and that the very existence of that par
ty depends upon the slave States. In relation
to Kansas, he assured them that it would be a
slave State, because the soil and climate best
fitted it for slave labor. It was no time now
to speak to get votes, but to tell the truth, and
that slavery was the best condition fbr poor la
boring people, because the domestic slavesof the
South were better treated and were better off
than the whites of the North."

The Millionaires of New York.
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier makes the following mention of the
millionaires of New York :
" Wrn. B. Astor is our richest man ; he in
herited his wealth. Stephen Whitney, five
millions ; owes his fortune to speculations in
cotton and the rise in real estate. W. IL As
pinwall, four million came of a rich family and
gained vast increase of wealth in the shipping
business. James Lennox, three millions which
he inherited. Toe late Peter Harmony, two
millions, came to this city as a cabin boy, and
grew rich by commerce. The Lorillards, two
millions, came from France poor and made their
huge fortunes in the tobacco and snuff business.
The late Anson G. Phelps, two millions;
learned the trade of a tinner, and made a for
tune in iron and copper. Alexander T. Stew
art, two millions, now of the dry goods palace,
began business in a little fancy store.
Of those who are put down for a million and
a half, George Law began life as a farm laborer,
Cornelius Vanderbilt as a boatman, John La
farge as steward to Joseph Bonaparte. Of the
millionaires, James Chesterman began life as a
journeyman tailor, and Peter Cooper as glue
maker. George Bancroft, Henry James, Pro
fessor Anther", Thomas McElrath, and Dr.
Francis, are each stated to possess a hundred
thousand dollars. Edwin Forrest is rated at a
quarter of a million; so is Sidney E. Morse, of
the New York Observer. William Niblo, it ap-
pears. has two hundred thousand dollars.
Bennett one hundred and fifty thousand. But
perhaps the most remarkable statement of all
is, that Mrs. Okill, of New York, has made.a
quarter of a million of dollars by keeping
school !"
[IIItIRDERED BY A SLAVE.—The Madison,
Georgia, Messenger, states that on the 30th ult.,
Mr. WILLIAM Pamics, residing near that place,
whilst lie was eating supper told one of his
negro men, who had been guilty of some misde
meanor, that so soon as he was through he
would give him a flogging. Accordingly, when
he got up from the table he went out into the
back yard and called the fellow out of the
kitchen, and told him to come to him. Mani
: resting a great deal of submission he obeyed,
but so soon as ho got in striking distance throw
an axe, which had been concealedoand split in
twain the head of his master, scattering the
brains in every direction. The negro instantly
fled and has not been captured.
[a - GUTTA PI TICRA FOR HORS?. SIIOES.-A
Philadelphia mechanic has constructed a horse
shoe in such a manner that it requires no nails,
and can be put on by any one without the aid
of a blacksmith. Attached to the shoe is a
flange extending around the hoof, and at the
back of the horse's foot, is a joint, held in its
place by a screw which allows the shoe to open
and close, so as to accommodate itself to the
size of the hoof. Between the hoof and the
plate is placed a Dyer of gutta percha, for the
purpose of preventing injury to the hoof or leg
of the horse by concussion, while running over
hard roads or streets. The mechanism is very
simple, and the application of gutta percha a
new and ingenious idea. •
Ca - Mr. Buchanan's family circle consists. for
the present, of Mr. and Miss Lane, (his nephew
and neice,) Mrs. George Pitt, of Philadelphia,
and Mr. Appleton, his late secretary of Lega-
tion in London. Col. Ramsay is also on a visit
with him. Miss Lane, a beautiful and highly
accomplished young lady, does the honors of
the mansion with the same grace and affability
which gained her so much popularity at
,the
head of her uncle's establishment in London.
The New York Times says :—" It is ru•
niored that Mr. Buchanan does not intend to
undertake the occupancy of the White House
alone. lle feels the necessity of a helpmate, and
is said to have made arrangements for a joint
tenancy with an accomplished Southern widow,
who has already had the advant age of four years'
experience in that position."

LOCAL AFFAIRS
Horrible Heath from Hydrophobia.—We learn
that on Monday of last week a young Nip
named Henry Hrotznuni, eon of Charles Bretz
man, Esq., residing near the Lehigh Gap, died
from the shocking effects of hydrophobia. He
was bitten by a dog belonging to his father
about sia weeks preiions, as were also several
head of cattle, swine and a horse. Fears aris
ing in the family that the dog might be mad,
he was instantly killed. Fearful of the conse
quences of the bite the young man received,
medical aid was summoned and the ordinary
prescription administered, and finding no partic
ular symptoms arise, the family felt relieved,
believing a cure had been effected. All was
well, and no more thotight about it, until a few
weeks since the horse that had been bitten at
the same time and by the Same dog, became
rabid, and died from the effects. After he wr
dead, ho was skinned, in which operation tl
young man that had ben bitten assisted, RI
by some means received a wound on one of 7
fingers, through which the virulent blood of
horse commingled with his own, and of com
re-poisoned his whole system. Several dr
after he complained of dullness and pain
the head and limbs, which with the bew;
dered appearance of the oyes, and dread
the sight of water, were the first symptok
of the horrible disease. This was follow-
ed by a general prostration of the system, ac
companied by violent paroxysms, with a flow
of saliva, which ended in his dtath as above
stated. Although competent medical aid was
brought to service, yet nothing could be done
to save him, as the fatal poison was so spread
over the system, by the singular circumstance
related, that nothing could prevent it from do
ing its fearful work.
Arrest of Wm, F. Miller, at Bethlehem.—
Wm. F. Miller, formerly Post Master at Beth
lehem, who absconded from that place several
months ago on several forgeries coming to
light which he had committed, and which had
since been " hushed" by several kind friends,
again made his appearance in that Borough ono
day last week, and was promptly arrested on a
similar charge, the circumstances of which it
appears but lately came to light. It seems
Mr. Edward Miller, of that place, a few days
previous to Miller's re-appearance there, receiv
ed notice from Wm. 11. Blumer, broker, at Al
lentown, that a note against him as endorser
for Wm. F. Miller, under protest, for 8400,
would be placed into the hands of Max Gcepp,
Esq., for collection, This note Mr. E. Miller
declares a forgery, and made oath to that effect
before Justice R. S. Rauch, procured a warrant,
and caused it to be forwarded to Gloucester
County, NeW Jersey, where Wm. F. Miller
was then supposed to be, but on his voluntary
and unexpected appearance in Bethlehem, he
was arrested as above stated. A hearing was
had and a number of witnesses examined, and
the accused held under $BOO bail for his appear
ance at the next court at Easton, to answer the
charge of forgery.
Railroad Mectings.—Several meetings of citi
zens favorable to the construction of the Allen
town and Port Clinton Railroad were held in
the Court House during the past week, but we
have not yet learned their exact proceedings.—
We understand, however, that the road will
certainly be made, and the heavier portions corn
men 3ed this winter—provided a certain amount
of stock—sloo,ooo we believe, is subscribed in
the course of the ensuing month. This propos
ed road is to be connected with the Lehigh
Valley Road at or near Allentown, and would
form the shortest and most direct route from
New York to the far west, and also the most di
rect route to Washington City and the Southern
States.
Run off the Track.—A little before dusk on
Friday evening a coal train was thrown off the
track at the railroad depot at this place, in con
sequence of a car having been recklessly left
on the track by some of the employees which
should have been moved on the switch. The
entire platform, used as a place of storage for
freight, was demolished, the sills for some twen
ty yards torn up, and the rails bent and twisted
as if they were so much wire. Considerable
damage was also done to the locomotive and
cars. Those in charge of the train saved life
and limbs by jumping off previous to the col
lision..
New Instruments.—The " Allentown Brass
Band" last week received a sett of twelve new
brass Cornets, of beautiful pattern, and the
most improved and latest construction, from
Germany, at a cost of $6OO. The construc
tion of the keys and valves of these instru
ments is an improvement on the old style brass
instruments, rendering the tone sweeter, loud
er, and more harmonious, and also greater ease
to the performer. The Band, under the able
leadership of Maj. Ettinger may now be con,.
sidered one of the permanent " institutions" of
our town.
Indian Summer.—This beautiful season, so
coy and uncertain in its visits, and so coquet
tish in its smiles, was with us several days du
ring the past week. Though we are rapidly
approaching the shortest days in the year,
the weather continues very pleasant: Those
of our friends engaged in building, or behind
hand in out-door- work, undoubtedly are glad
to embrace the opportunity afforded them to
finish up before the sharp and nipping frosts of
winter make such labor anything but pleasant.
Military Parade.—The "Allen Rifles" Capt.
Good, will parade next Saturday afternoon, in
full uniform, accompanied by the Band, who
will on the occasion introduce their new instru
ments to the public. A fine display may be
expected. The occasion will no doubt draw
crowds of. admiring spectators into tho.atreet.
