A WORD TO YOUNG DEMOCRATS.
Two years ago we began early and earn
estly to warn yon against the folly and mis
chief into which bigotry and intnlersncs un
der the name of Know-Noihingism was at
tempting to seduce you. We tore the mask
from the frtud and falsehood of bold, bad
man, and exposed their deceit in It* foul hid
eouiness. The timid were alarmed at onr
fearlessness, aa week after week we exposed
the oatha and plot* of the desperate conspira
tors; but the dismayed Jacobins shrunk back
in coward sbame un.ler the cover of night to
tbair den of darkness. They tried to intimi
date the irresolute, and buy the corrupt.
A score of your number, honest but de
ceived, left tbe-crew in disgust, and cine to
thank ua for our timely and honest warning.
They taw that the very initiation through
which they bad passed was the trick of dem
agogues who feared to trust one step with
out an oath, and who fell there was no other
strength or merit in the cause to bind its vo
taries togslher. Through these, who left the
Club to despise it, new exposure! came; and
frath howling* of denunciation against us
burst from the enraged den. The rescued
thanked us, and the howlinga passed by us
the idle wind which we regarded not.—
If the blows we returned were heavy it was
only because the attack upon us was malig
nant. II any words were severe, it was our
antagonists who first poisoned the weapons of
the contest with acrimony, for bigotry is aver
base.
That same spirit which then deceivod un
der the guise of Know-Notbingism has now
assumed the name of Republicanism ; and
instead of appealing to a religious creed it
deal* In the distorted senlimsul of humanity.
Its stock in trade is a morbid and sickly sen
timentality—a base perversion from an hon
est impulse; and iis leaders are the same
reoltless adventurers who governed Know-
Nothingism. When that party became odi
ous these volatile spirits easily turned to the
new one which rose upon its ruins. From
Jo. Hiss and Ned Buntlioe to George Law
you find this lha esse. The former clung to
his first faith until he was expelled from
office—the latter apostatised for Republican
ism when his petty refused to nominate hire
for tbe Presidency.
Observe yon not that these factions are not,
like the old parties of the republio, based
cpon principles of political economy. They
taot and rave of dangers and altrms but pro
pose no remedy or cure. Two years ago
they said tbe republic was on the verge of
"ruin" from Caibolicism— now they cry it is
just on tbe brink of destruction (for the six
hundredth time) from slavery.
See yon not (bat this new party is made
op oi those for leaders who have been all
things by luru and nothing long—tbe same
who administered wicked oaths at Know-
Nothing lodges—or acted aa conjurors at the
silly farce of the initiation. Have they clung
to any party longer than tbay thought it was
popular or profitable ! Have they ever ex
hibited constant principle, or was it not al
ways tbe impulse that varies with every new
wind of doctrine! And is there any consis
tency or agreement among themselves even
now t Do ihey even now agree in Cougreas;
or why do ibey not act! They are in truth
united in nothing, and consistent in neither
prinoipie nor name, except in their hatred of
Democracy.
STATE CONVENTION.
To-day the Dameeratio Stale Convention

hoped thet e man will be chosen who will

No county in the Stale has belter Democrat*
than Franklin ; ind among such men as Wil
son Reilly, John Rowe, G. W. Brewer and
Col. On there it an honor and magnanimity
that commands every man's respeol aud con
fidence. Among Ibe editors of this State
there is not a more maoly and independent
herald of truth than Mr. Coopar of the
Chambersbnrg Spirit; and it it from such
man at tbe troe-bearted Democrats of Frank
lin that a safe man oai be chosen (or the
lioket, who will make it invincible.

A CHANCE THAT SHOULD KOT BE NEGLECTED.
Mr. Swan, of Mon'gomery, Ala., the old
and honored public agsnl for the State
in which he resides, has forwarded a pros
pectus containing the plan by which Al
abama proposes to endow her Southern Mil
itary Academy. There are to be 30,000 sub
scribers, and among those, on the 13th of
August, will be distributed 15,185 "tokeus of
gratitude" for their co-operation in such a
laudable design. These 'tokens'vary through
■li gradations of hundreds and thousands,
from a prize of SB, which is the lowest, up
to the of Forty Thou
land Dollars gold, without deduction
or percentage! A person may become a
whole subscriber for SlO, a half for S5, a
quarter for S2 50, and who could grudge any
of these paltry sums for such a chance of
limitless prosperity! Whether is it better to
invest a gold piece in a speculation which
may rendsr you independent for life, or to
squander it in debauch which will suiely in
jure your health and your character ? How
delightfully a wife might surprise a husband
by saving the price of a ticket from the week
ly expenditures, and some if successful,
laying before him a sum of gold sufficient
for all their future wants! Think of it, La
dies. If orders are directed to S. SWAN &
Co, Montgomery, Ala., they will be imme
diately answered.
Shooting a Man.
On last Saturday Thomas Oldfield was
walking along the public road near the
Bridge at'lrondJle carrying a gun, when he
was met by Thomas Hopkins, and a few
words (not angry ones) passed between them.
Oldfield was very drunk and Hopkins in a
friendly manner urged him to put down the
hammer of his gun which was drawn. Old
field then drew up his gun as if to shoot
Hopkins who ran to escape. But Oldfield
fired and Hopkins fell. The gun was loaded
with shot, and some sixty were found in the
wounded man, who, however, was not dan
gerously injured. Oldfield was arrested and
brought before Esquire Painter who commit
ted bim to jail, but subsequently left him ont
upon entering bail in S3OO for his appearance
at September court. Both the parties are
foreigners.
Berwick Camp Meeting.
A Camp Meeting for Berwick Circuit will
be held on the land of Alex. Jamison, Esq ,
(the same on which the meeting was held
last year) in Salem twp., two miles north
east of Berwick and one mile east of Foun
dryville, to commence on Friday , the 22 d of
August, 1856. A boarding lent will be erec
ted on the ground. Ministers and friends
from the surrouuding charges are respectful
ly invited to attend.
Oaeoflhe Tricks.
The Know Nothing demagogues of Illinois
lately made a bid for the "sweet German
accent" by nominating a natnialized German
for Lient. Governor. It was subsequently
discovered that his naturalization papers
were not as old as the constitution required,
and so bis name was hauled down.
Whig Connty Meeting.
We are requested to announce that there
will be a Whig county meeting in the Conn
House in Bloomaburg on Saturday the 16th
of August inst., at 5 o'clock, P. M., for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the Whig
National Convention at Baltimore. All who
feel interested are requested to attend.
X3T In the House of Congress last week,
Mr. Carnlbers justified lb* repeal of (he Mis
souri Compromise, and stated that the only
political act of his life of whioh ha was a
shamed, was the having joined the Know-
Nothings. This he publicly repudiated, and,
as an old line Whig, gae his reaions for
prsfetring Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Fillmore,
who he contended bad no chance of an elec
tion.
I On Taesday afternoon of last week,
Baltimore, Washington and Cinoinnati were
visited by a very severe thunder storm. At
Cincinnati it wa* quite a tornado, uprooting
trees aud blowing down bouses.
HP* The Democratic county convention of
Montour will be held on the Ist day of Sep
tember-one week after the convention in
thie county.

a large audleoot in tbe Conrt-bouae on Wed*

OT At Davenport, lowa, prairie bey i*
I selling for 97 and $8 par ton.
iaed land.' I travel
eight miles, according to the survey, tn>u,a 1
could fiod a aaffloieooy of limber to warrant
me in an attempt to build a house. At Paw
nee, the capital, aa projected by Gov. Reed
er, or rather within a distance of five miles
Irom that paper city, I succeeded in making
a claim ol eighty acres, on which, alter much
severe labor and privation, I succeeded in
raising a house that would shelter myself and
family. During all the time of my struggle
in the wilderness, I was aided and assisted
in every way by my neighbors, Missourians,
and, indeed, never even had to watt longer
for their help than they saw wherein they
oouid assist me.
My oltim made, and my house,such as it
was, completed, I started for Kansas city to
bring my family out. Judge of my feelings
when t learned that for nearly tho whole time
of my absence my child bad been lying at
the pbint of death, and my wife, the mother,
among strangers. And remember tlso, that
these stracgers were all 'border ruffians!'—
Of coarse I was anxious. I questioned my
wife, how did you get along! What did
yon do ! Why,she answered me, no people
oould be more kind; all took an interest in
| our suffering and sorrow; I never saw a more
kind hearted and generous people. I was
astonished, i confess it. Of course I said but
little—whet could I say 1 They asked me—
the 'border ruffians'—of my politios. I told
them I was an out-and-out Free State man.
The answer was invariably—That's tight,
Mr. King, vote jnst as you think—we wish
every man to enjoy his own opinion.'
For many weary day* I walked aronnd,
wailing for the returning strength of my clild,
.and during these days I saw many things
that would have been disbelieved by mysell
if stated to me before I left Racine, and while
I was a reader of and believer in the New
York Tribune I saw many, very many, poor ■
families landed at Leavenworth—sent on by
the New England Aid Society, who had not
the means to bury the dead of their compa
ny. Men, women and children were there
sent on by these Aid Societies without fundi*
to purchase one meal of food after landing
They ome there, expecting no one knows
what, but in as destitute a condition as ever
emigrants landed at the docks of New York.
The men of Missouri, the 'border ruffians,'
took them into their homes, they fed them—
the living ones—and buried the dead—they
gave them clothes, food and kind words;
they acted, in short, the part of noble, gener
ous, Christian men, and their reward has
been abu*e, contumely, and misrepresenta
tion.
Thai the men o< Miasouri felt and feel ag
grieved ia not to be wondered at by any who
know anything of the faote. They have been
flooded by eompaniee eent on by 'aid socie
ties,' of men who at home conld not com
mand the reaped, hardly the forbearance of
the communitiea in which they lived; they
have been obliged not only to feed these men,
but to listen to their scurrilous abuse, and
now, when they have sought nothing more,
as I well know, than an equal and ju-t share
of the advantages ol the newly opened terri
tory, they are belied by press and pulpit
through the entire North. As I said before,
I hate slavery, and never by act or word will
give it aid or countenance, but, I hate it so
much that I cannot bear even to see the mis
taken, (though I believe honestly mistaken,)
supporters of it lied about and abused.
Fremont a slaveholder!
The fact that Col. Fremont is, or has, until
recently been a slaveholder, car. no longer
be denied. A gentleman now residing in St.
Louis, who ia well known in Penn Yn, N.
Y., writes to a friend in the letter place:
" Within the last year I have had occasion
to transact business with, and frequently been
at the hooae of Col. Brant, and several of the
domestics have from time to lime been point
ed out to me as the Slaves of Col. Fremont,
and these are not all either, as he owns many
otheu, male and female, hired out in vaiious
parts of the City I"
The house of Col. Brant ia the place at
which Col. Fremont makes it his home in
St. Louie. The writer of the above paragraph
says:
" Col. Brant ia a particular friend of mine.
I visit his housa frequently. He ia a man of
great wealth, and married, as you know, a
sister of Col. T. H. Benton, who also makes
it his home there siooe Mrs. Benton's de
cease."
The Providence Post adds to this testimony:
"That Col. Fremont did own slaves three
months before his nomination, has beeu prov
ed. That he does now OWN SEVENTY
FIVE is positively asserted by the Hillsdale
OasnUe.
OF" Railroad bsllotting for President ap
pears to be about the only active boisness at
the present time. It is a little curious that
the political papers of each of the three par
ties invariably show that these evidences of
popularity always favor their side. There
must be some polities! jugglery in this, some
outside ballot-box stuffing.
EV The notorious "Ned Buntline" has been
making Fremont speeches at Williamsport
and Jerseyshore. All that class of desperate
adventnters have left the sinking ship of
Know Nothingism and taken to the trade in
negro sentimenlaliem. Vide George Law arid
Jo. Hiss.

JAMBS B. CLAY, TILB SOS OF TUB IMMOITAL
"asaav or TUB WBST."
At this announcement there arose a wild
shout of enthusiasm and joyful welcome from
the vast multitude. The ladies arose from
their seats and waved their handkerchiefs,
the men sLouted to the very top of their lungs,
young and old united with one of the most
earnest and tumultuous ezhibitions of real
feeling we have ever witnessed. Mr. Clay
seemed to be much affoeted by these dem
onstrations. In a vary clear, modest and
manly tone he proceeded to address them.
We m our lives, more surpris
ed than by the speech of this gentleman.—
We have been led to believe that be was a
person of rather cold nature and ordinary nat
ural powers. Doubtless the great fame of
his father has stood in the way of the just ap
preciation of his talents. The very name be
bears—his relationship to ike great man of
tbst State—hasprsvented him from assuming
a prominent position in publio affairs, and
created against bim something like jealousy
in the breasts of bis father's old friends and'
admirers, who could not bear to see any one
of the nsms and lineage of Clay attempt to
follow, at how great soever a distance, in the
footsteps of their illustrious chief. These in
fluences have depressed Mr. Clay's reputatiou
much below the measure it is justly entitled
to, and produced a diffidence and distrust,
which some of the very people who cherish
the fame of hia father with so much jealousy
have mistaken as tnisrepresemed as indica
tive of a cold nature and intellect. All this,
I we are satisfied, is strikingly incorrect and
unjust. The speech delivered by Mr. Clay
on Saturday presented the man in his true
and natural character, and the effeot of that
speech was a proof of its sinoerity.
Mr. Clay said that he was a quiet farmer,
and had taken but little part in public affairs.
He was a comparative stranger in bis own
State. There was not a half dozen familiar
faces in the great crowd before bim. But he
had been calumniated by the press—be had
been denied the right, unless at the hazard of
! the moat bitter and malignant personal de
traction, of taking that course in political af
fairs which bis judgment and conaciano* ap.
1 proveu. ne Had Bfcen painted as a monster
of political tergiversation and infidelity—bis
own and the heart strings of bis family had
been lorn by fbe vile abuse to which be had
been subjec'ed. He now appeared before
them to show what manner of a man be was,
to justify his fellow-countrymen the consist
ency and honor of bis conduct.
Mr. Clay proceeded to ear that he bad no
blood in his reins which did not flow in an
honorable channel and from an honored
source. It was not in the nature of hia race
to be faithless and treacherous. There was
Done of that race but had borne a true and pa
triotic heart in his bosom. An uncle bad fall
en, gallantly struggling against the sarages at
the Riser Raisin. Many now present re
membered that gallant man who bedewed
the dark and bloody ground with his heart's
blood. A brother had fallen at Buent Vista,
fighting for the honor and flag of bis country,
and, eren when disabled and prostrate from
many wounds, when last seen be still resist
ed and combMediha enemies of his coun
try. Last and greatest of his name—greatest
that erer had been or erer would be—bis
fathsr, had lired for bis country and for the
Union—had exhausted bis days in the sere
ices of the Republic, and had imposed on all
who were connected with bim, as their high
est and moat sacred duty, to give their best
efforts to the maintenance of that cause to
which his great heart and talents were so long
consecrated.
In the performance of this object, Mr. Clay
said he came there to strike one blow for the
Union. He then proceeded to show that the
banner of the Whig party had been furled
and laid upon hia father's grave. Its ap
proaching dissolution was announced in the
canvas* and success of General Taylor, who
refused to acknowledge himself a Whig—
Indeed, in death hesan ttiai piny ae
olared success to be its great object, in oppo
sition to the sentiment of Henry Clay—that
it is bettar to be right than to be President.
He had clung to the old party in its dying,
as be had in its proaperon* moments, and
when its final dissolution was proclaimed he
looked around to see where be should go.
He felt himself in the embarrassment in
which the Sage of Marebfield once found
himself. He had entertained opinions in fa
of Native Americanism, and published the
first-articles that ever appeared in Kentucky
on that subject. So hearing that there was a
party organizad on that idea, and which at
the same time proclaimed very high-toned
and patriotio national objects and spirits,
though he entertained mnch repugnance to
secret societies, be was persnadad to present
himself for interrogation at the portals of one
of the lodgea of the so-called American order.
As the obligation of secreoy bad been remov
ed Irom aUpersmaiq reference to that order,
he (Ml there occurred.
Ha was asked what hi* name, where
he was bom, what religion he profesaed,
what wae the religion tf hu wife, and, finally,
would be not bind himaelf never to vote for
a Roman Catholiot When this question
wss pat to bim be withdraw in diaguat. That
was no place—no party for him. What then
wae he to do I He loekid around again to
aee if Iharc waa not a chance for the resur
rection of the Wjiig party. Not a gitim of
volve the disrupron of this Confederacy. On
this point, be read Mr. Fillmore's Albany
speech, the spirit of which he greatly ap
plauded. He should aot in the spirit of that
address, and give his vote to the party which
! presented the best prospects of success a
gainst this pestilent and dangerous sectional
movement. He could gpe only in the Dem
' ocratio party the power to debat ibis party,
and be should therefore give Sis cordial sup
port to Buchanan and Breckinridge.
Mr. Clay then proceeded to show what he
considered the utter hopelessness of the un
dertaking to elect Mr. Fillmore and the effect
which the persistance of suoh an effort must
have to weaken the Union party. He spoke
of Mr. Fillmore with great respect, as his fa
thor's and bis own friend. Though appoint
ed, by General Taylor, as a minister of our
Government abroad, he bad been sustained
by Mr. Fillmore, and received the unusual
compliment ol being noticed favorably in one
of the Presidential messages. The gdmiois
tratiou of Mr. Fillmore has been one of the
most successful and satisfactory since the
days of Washington, and if he thought there
was a chance of bis election he would sup
port him ; but there not being a ghost of a
chance, he would not for personal preference,
hazard the success of the only party which
now has the slightest prospect of success in
defeating the sectional and disunion party of
the North.
Bat he confessed, if he deemed it wieeend
patriotio to vote for Mr. Fillmore, it would
certainly be a hard task to take him with the
candidate foi the Vice Presidency, Andrew
Jackson Donelson, who, besides being a ren
egade trom his own party, had quite recently
been the reviler and defamer of Mr. Fillmore,
and of that administration which gave Mr.
Fillmore the high consideration and olaims
that are now acoorded to bim. The vote for
Andrew Jackson Donelson in preference to
John C. Breckinridge was certainly a hard
alternative for a Ken'.uekian. Breckinridge
was his townsman, the play-male of his in
fancy, the companion of his boyhood, his
friend and intimate at all periods. Breckin
ridge bad additionalolaimsupon him. When
he was elected over General Leslie Combs,
to represent the Ashland District in Congress,
Mr. Breckinridge bad asked a friend of his
father how Mr. Clay would receive him if he
should lake the liberty to.call on bim. "As
a gentleman and a Kentuckian," was the re
ply.
Mr. Breckinridge accordingly came, and
he (the speaker) was present at the interview.
Mr. Breckinridge stated to Mr. Clay !h*l he
had called to pay his respeots to him; that,
though the opposite political party, he bad
oeu cuosen to represent me district which he
(Mr. Clay) had himself represented wiib so
much renown and fidelity, and he should
consider hitr self—yeung and inexperienced
as he was—quite incompetent to do justice to
the'high duty he had assumed, without the
counsel and aid of Mr. Clay, and he desired
permission to consult with him freely, when
be should enter upon his duties, and to re
ceive the aid of bis great experience and
knowledge of political affairs. Mr. Clay was
much pleased with this interview. It pro
duced an impression on his mind, and his
regard for Mr. Breckinridge was ever after
ward warm and earnest. And now lam ex
pected to throw aside snoh a man and vote
for Andrew Jackson Donelson. "Why, fel
low-Kentnckians," exclaimed Mr. Clay, "I
would not give John C. Breckinridge for a
woods full of Andrew Jackson Donelsons."
In this connection Mr. Clay referred to the
eloquent, just and noble eulogium pronounc
ed by Breckinridge in the House of Repre
sentatives, on the announcement of his fa
ther's death.
Mr. Clay thee proceeded to urge upon hia
old Whig friends, the companions and con
atituents of his father, to rally aronnd that
banner which he had spent hut life in uphold
ing—the banner of the Union. He wai ready
to follow the Whig standard as the Dooglaa
followed the heart of B,uce—as long as it
waved. But the flag was no longer to be
seen on the battle-field. It might yet be nn
futled. Alter death there was the resurrec
tion. But at prasent there was no Whig or
ganization, and the only psrty of the Union
was that of which Buchanan and Breckin
ridge were the candidates.
Mr. Clay referred to the attempt to impli
cate Mr. Buchanan in the charge of bargain
and corruption. On that subject he proposed
in un, ineitinony ol bis own father, and
be read from Mr. Clay's letter to show that
Mr. Buchanan had conducted himself in that
affair as a man of truth and honor; be should
believe what his father eaid before others.—
Besides tbe evidence be had read, there wae
other testimony bearing on the earns point.
In feeling and eloquent terms he referred to
the heavy weight of that charge against his
father, and how gallantly and bravely be had
borne it. Thank God iidied before bis father;
and now, he was proud to say, that there
lived not the man who wonld whisper it—
But Mr. Buchanan waa free from all connec
tion with tbe matter.
Mr. Clay then concluded with tn eloquent
appeal to his fellow citizens, especially old
liae Whigs, to give their cordial support to
the Union ticket—to Bochanan and Breckin
ridge.
